ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Phillip LoSasso, on behalf of the property owners, JCC Seal Beach, LLC
(Kenneth B. Adler, Adrienne B. Adler, Allan M. Katz, Marcha E. Katz and Richard
Grossgold), submitted an application for Tentative Tract Map 17925, requesting approval to
subdivide a .52 acres site which will consolidate three existing parcels in order to create
five new lots within the Old Town area. The subject site consists of three properties located
at 232 through 244 17th Street in the RHD -20 (Residential High Density — 20) zone. The
northern and southern lots are currently developed with residential structures and are
separated by a third lot which is vacant. The third, middle lot is former railroad property.
The northern lot (APN 199 - 062 -25) is currently nonconforming with respect to parking,
because it does not have a two -car garage; uncovered parking is provided on -site with
access from the alley at the rear of the lot.
The property owners propose to consolidate the three lots and split the resulting larger lot
in half. The northern half of the larger lot will be one parcel which will retain all existing
residential structures. The remaining half will be subdivided into four equal lots. Tentative
Tract Map 17925 shows the resulting five lots proposed through this partnership. There will
be four new 28.14 ft. wide by 100.05 ft. deep lots. The larger, northern lot will be 112.57 ft.
wide by 100.05 ft. deep. The proposed map indicates one single - family residential unit can
be built on each of the 28.14 ft. wide lots while the 112.57 ft. wide lot will maintain an
existing single - family residential structure with attached storage. The existing house on the
existing southern lot (APN 199 - 062 -23) will be demolished and removed following Coastal
Commission review.
Tentative Tract Map 17925 has met the requirements set forth in the Subdivision Map Act
by providing a complete application and clearly identifying the subdivision of three parcels
into five parcels. The applicant has provided clear and distinct new legal descriptions for
the five new parcels. The properties are located in an urbanized area and will be served by
existing utilities in the area. The proposed subdivision is in compliance with the Subdivision
Map Act and the Seal Beach Municipal Code.
According to Table 11.2.05.015 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, properties within the
RHD -20 zone require a minimum lot size of 2,500 sq. ft. The proposed subdivision will
comply with this requirement because each of the new parcels will be 2,815.50 sq. ft. or
greater. The applicant proposes to develop four new parcels with a two -story single family
residence and two -car garage on each; the fifth new larger parcel will maintain its existing
single - family residential structure with attached storage. The proposed development
complies with the permitted density for residential uses in the RHD -20 zone.
The proposed residential development on the parcels that will result from Tentative Tract
Map 17925 will be required to comply with all residential development standards
established in Title 11 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code. The new and existing residences
will comply with all setback requirements. The larger, northern parcel will remain
nonconforming with respect to parking as it does not contain a two -car garage, but the
conditions of approval require that northern parcel to continue to provide parking on -site.
The four new parcels will provide the required on -site parking through construction of a
two -car garage on each lot. The garage spaces for each lot will be accessed from the
existing alley at the rear of the subject site.

The proposed project is in compliance with zoning development standards, or does not
increase any nonconformity, and is consistent and compatible with guidelines current at the
time it was originally deemed complete. The project is consistent and compatible with other
developments in the area and throughout the City.
Mitigated Negative Declaration:
The proposed Tentative Tract Map is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) due to the number of parcels being created. An Initial Study was prepared in
compliance with Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et. seq. and the State CEQA
Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et. seq.).
Staff in conjunction with the environmental consultant Bill Hodge noticed the project with
the intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon findings of the Initial Study
that the project would not result in significant environmental impacts with the incorporation
of mitigation measures to address biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials
and hydrology and water quality, and air quality. Measures to reduce these impacts have
been incorporated into the project conditions of approval. Accordingly, the City proposes
that the Planning Commission adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to Section
21080 (c) of the Public Resources Code.
Subsequent to the preparation of the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration, the
project was presented to the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB) at their meeting
of February 22, 2017, which was during the required public comment period extending from
February 9, 2017 to March 13, 2017. During the meeting, staff presented the project to the
Board and took public testimony. Additionally, the environmental consultant along with the
applicant for the property owners addressed questions from the public and EQCB. At the
conclusion of the meeting, the EQCB identified three concerns that the environmental
document should address which are as follows:
1. Can the City make the alley one way?
2. Is the developer required to do a Phase One Soils Report as the property
was once owned by the railroad and possibly had railroad ties stored on it?
3. Was a focused traffic study received for the project?
SBMC Section 3.10.005 authorizes the EQCB to make recommendations on
environmental matters, but does not allow the Board to make decisions regarding projects.
Also, the Zoning Code only provides that the EQCB should receive public comments and
provide comments to the approving authority:
"F. Public Notice of Environmental Determination. If the director or environmental
review coordinator has determined that the proposed project will not have a significant
effect on the environment, he orshe shall prepare a negative declaration forpublic review
in conformance with the requirements of CEQA and applicable state and city environmental
review guidelines. If the applicant has agreed to incorporate mitigation measures in order
to reduce environmental impacts to a point of insignificance, the director or environmental
review coordinator shall prepare a mitigated negative declaration for public review. The
director or environmental review coordinator shall provide public notice of the proposed
environmental determination at the same time and in the same manner required for the
underlying permit in accordance with Chapter 5.10: General Procedures.
Page 4 of 6
Tentative Tract Map 17925
232 through 244 17th Street
The Environmental Quality Control Board shall conduct a public meeting during the public
review period to receive public comments and to provide comments on the draft
negative declaration ormitigated negative declaration and shall forward all comments to
the approving authority for consideration as part of any subsequent public hearings on the
draft negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration and accompanying
discretionary land use entitlement applications."
Staff complied with the Seal Beach Municipal Code, regarding the EQCB procedures and
conducted a public meeting on February 22, 2017. Comments were received by the Board
which is included below.
1. Can the City make the alley one way? The alley currently allows vehicles
to travel in both directions and it helps with the circulation of vehicles to be
able to travel both ways.
2. Is the developer required to do a Phase One Soils Report as the property
was once owned by the railroad and possibly had railroad ties stored on it.?
The applicant is required by condition 12 of resolution No. 17 -12 to provide a
Phase One Soils Report for the City to review prior to building permit
issuance.
3. Was a focused traffic study received for the project? According to the City's
Traffic Impact Study Guidelines a Traffic Impact Study is required in a
residential zone when 20 or more houses are being proposed. A Traffic
Impact Study would therefore not be required since the project is only
proposing 5 residences, one is existing and another will be demolished and 4
new residences will be constructed, for a net total of 3 new residences.
Following an Initial Study and environmental assessment of possible adverse impacts, the
project was determined not to have a significant effect on the environment because of the
inclusion of certain mitigation measures that lessened potential adverse impacts to a level
of less than significant. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration with mitigation
measures and monitoring program in accordance with the provisions of California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared. A Mitigated Negative Declaration with
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program is recommended as no environmental impacts are
foreseen if mitigation measures listed in the attached resolution are implemented.
CONCLUSION:
After conducting the public hearing and receiving public testimony, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution No. 17 -12 adopting the Initial
Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program and
approving Tentative Tract Map 17925 for a project to subdivide a .52 acres site which will
consolidate three existing parcels in order to create five new parcels at 232 through 244
17th Street within the Residential High Density (RHD -20) zoning area

RESOLVE:
Section 1. Phillip LoSasso ( "the applicant') on behalf of the property owner JCC
Seal Beach, LLC (Kenneth B. Adler, Adrienne B. Adler, Allan M. Katz, Marcha E. Katz and
Richard Grossgold), submitted an application to the City of Seal Beach Department of
Community Development and Public Works- Engineering Department for Tentative Tract Map
17925, included as "Attachment A" to this Resolution. The proposed project includes
consolidating three (3) existing parcels into one .52 -acre lot and then subdividing that .52-
acre lot into five new parcels in the Old Town area in the Residential High Density (RHD -20)
zoned area.
Section 2. The proposed Tentative Tract Map constitutes a project that is subject to
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 1970 (Public Resources Code,
Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations,
Section 15000 et seq.). Based on the findings of an Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program was prepared pursuant to Section
21080(c) of the Public Resources Code.
Section 3. The Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation
Monitoring Reporting Program was circulated for public comment from February 9, 2017
through March 13, 2017. The proposed project with the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative
Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program was presented to the
Environmental Quality Control Board ( "EQCB ") at a duly noticed public meeting on February
22, 2017, during the public comment period. The EQCB issued comments on the proposed
Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program
which were forwarded to the Planning Commission for review by the Commission in
connection with its review and action on the proposed Initial Study /Mitigated Negative
Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program and project.
Section 4. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission
on May 1, 2017 to consider the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation
Monitoring Program and proposed Tentative Tract Map 17925. At the public hearing, the
Planning Commission received into the record all evidence and testimony provided on this
matter. The record of the hearing indicates the following:
Page 1 of 9
Resolution 17 -12
232 through 244 17" Street
A. The subject property consists of three oddly shaped parcels with a total
lot area of approximately 22,524 sq. ft. or (.52 acres). The consolidated property is
approximately 225.12 feet wide by 100.05 feet deep. The subject site is surrounded by
residential uses.
B. The subject property is currently developed with the north lot containing
one single family residence and attached storage, and the southern lot containing one
single - family residence; the center lot is a vacant old railroad property acquired by the
property owners to the north and south.
C: The applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map 17925 to
consolidate the three existing parcels into one parcel in order to then subdivide the .52 acre
lot into five new lots. The northern -most new lot will be 112.57 ft. wide by 100.05 ft. deep
while the other four lots will each be 28.14 ft. wide by 100.05 ft. deep.
D. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing single - family residence
on the southern -most lot; and proposes to construct one new single - family residence with
attached two -car garage on each of the four (4) new smaller lots and to leave the existing
single family residence with attached storage on the larger, wider lot to the north. A total of
three (3) new single - family residences with two -car garages will be created along with the
existing single - family residence to be retained.
Section 5. Environmental Determination.
A. The Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring Program included therein, collectively attached hereto as Exhibit A, have been
completed in compliance with the CEQA Guidelines. The Planning Commission has
independently reviewed and considered the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program included therein, all of the public comments, and
comments from the EQCB, both written and oral, about the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program, and all of the other evidence that
was presented to the Planning Commission, including the staff reports prepared for the
Planning Commission, prior to taking action on the proposed project. The Planning
Commission finds that the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring Reporting Program were prepared in the manner required by law and that there is
no substantial evidence in the record of proceedings that, with the imposition of the proposed
mitigation measures, the approval of the project would result in a significant adverse effect
upon the environment that would require the preparation of an environmental impact report
( "EIR "). The Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately discusses the
environmental effects of the proposed project. On the basis of the Initial Study and comments
received during the public hearing process, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed
project, with implementation of mitigation measures set forth in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program included therein, will not have
significant impacts on the environment.
B. For the foregoing reasons, and based on the information and findings
included in the record before the Planning Commission, including the staff report, Initial
Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program, and all
Page 2 of 9
Resolution 17 -12
232 through 244 17th Street
public comments, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference, the Planning
Commission hereby certifies that the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
compliance with CEQA, adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration, and adopts the Mitigation
Monitoring Reporting Program, which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference as Exhibit "A ".
Section 6. Based upon the facts contained in the record, including those stated in
the preceding Section of this resolution and pursuant to Chapter 10.20.020 — 10.20.025 of the
Seal Beach Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following additional
findings:
A. The proposed Tentative Tract Map, including design and improvements,
is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific or precise plan. Tentative Tract
Map No. 17925 is proposed at 232 through 244 17th Street which is designated as
Residential High Density in the City of Seal Beach General Plan. The General Plan states
that the Residential High Density Land Use designation encourages architectural and
economic diversity. The subject site consists of three parcels; two contain single - family
residences and the center parcel is vacant. The site property is not located within a specific
plan or precise plan area. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to consolidate the three
parcels in order to create five new parcels. Four parcels will each be developed with a two -
story single - family residences and a two -car garage. The fifth new parcel will maintain an
existing single - family residential structure with detached storage. The proposed subdivision is
consistent with the land use designation and the permitted density of the area. The proposed
residential development on the newly formed parcels will be consistent with the surrounding
area and in conformance with the General Plan designation because the parcels will be
consistent in size and shape with the surrounding area.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type or proposed density of
development in that Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.2.10.015 requires lots in the Old
Town Residential High Density (RHD -20) zoning area to maintain minimum dimensions of 25
ft. wide by 100 ft. deep. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to subdivide a 0.52 acres
site, which will consolidate three existing legal parcels and create five new parcels. The
proposed parcels will meet the minimum lot size required for the creation of new lots within
the RHD -20 zone. The proposed subdivision will comply with the uses and density permitted
in the RHD -20 zone as regulated by the Seal Beach Municipal Code.
C. The design of the subdivision, or the proposed improvements, is not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The
subject property is currently developed as single - family residences with an accessory
structure and is located in an urbanized area surrounded by developed residential uses. The
subject site is surrounded by residential uses. The subject site is located in an urbanized area
with no fish or wildlife habitat on the subject site because the site has already been
developed and maintained as a residential use. A Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program was prepared to address potential environmental
impacts from the proposed subdivision and found that there are no impacts to the fish or
wildlife with mitigation.
Page 3 of 9
Resolution 17 -12
232 through 244 17th Street
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to
consolidate three parcels into one and subdivide it into five parcels at 232 through 244 17th
Street. The existing residential use has operated at the subject site without causing public
health problems of any kind. The four smaller subdivided parcels will be developed with
single family residences which is consistent with the surrounding uses. The Mitigated
Negative Declaration showed no health impacts. The parcels will meet the minimum lot size
required and be developed in conformance with the Residential High Density (RHD -20)
development standards.
E. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within
the proposed subdivision. The subject site is currently developed as single - family residences
and used for residential purposes without any existing easements. The subject site has
existing alley access but does not contain any easements and the proposed subdivision of
the property into five parcels does not require the creation of new easements.
F. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the
community sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements proscribed by the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The subject site is currently developed with
a residential use. The existing residences have operated without violation of California
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The new residential parcels will be required to connect
to the City's sewer system to maintain compliance with the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
G. The subject site does not have adverse soil or geological conditions and
the subdivider has provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that
the subject site does not require corrections of current conditions.
H. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of
Title 11: Zoning and applicable provisions of the Seal Beach Municipal Code and the
Subdivision Map Act. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to consolidate three parcels
into one in order to create five new parcels in the Residential High Density (RHD -20) zoning
area. The new parcels will comply with the minimum lot dimensions of 25 ft. wide by 100 ft.
deep required in the RHD -20 zone. Each parcel will be developed with a single - family
residence in compliance with the development standards set forth in Title 11 of the Seal
Beach Municipal Code.
Section 7. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves
Tentative Tract Map 17925, subject to all mitigation measures set forth in the Initial
Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Reporting
Program, for the consolidation of 3 existing parcels into one and subdividing that .52 acre lot
into five new parcels, subject to the following conditions:
1. The Planning Commission reserves the right to revoke or modify this Tentative Tract
Map if any violation of the approved conditions occurs, or any violation of the Code of
the City of Seal Beach occurs.

A. Project Location and Surrounding Land Uses
The Project site for the proposed development is located at 232 through 244 17th Street in the City of
Seal Beach (City). The site is within Planning Area 1, the Old Town area of the City. The proposed
Project site is surrounded by residential uses.
The subject area is designated as High Density Residential per the City's General Plan and is zoned
RHD -20 (Residential High Density).
Exhibit 1 shows the regional location of the Project. Exhibit 2 shows the Project site and the Project
vicinity.
B. Project Description
The basic Project consists of a Tentative Tract Map proposed at 232 through 244 17th Street in the City
of Seal Beach (Exhibit 3). The site is 0.52 acres. The proposed subdivision will consolidate three existing
legal parcels and create five parcels out of existing odd - shaped lots that include a government -owned
diagonal railroad easement through the properties. There will be four new 28.125- foot -wide lots and
one 112.5- foot -wide lot (Exhibit 4). All lots are 100 feet deep. The Project site was sold at auction in
2014. The proposed map contemplates that one single - family residential structure will be built on each
of four 28.125- feet -wide lots, with the fifth lot to be left as is. An existing duplex of 1,696 square feet
of habitable space will be torn down, but the larger lot has a structure that will remain. The Project site
is located in the RHD -20 Residential High Density Zone, and the Seal Beach General Plan Land Use
Designation is High Density Residential.
C. Proposed Actions
The Project will require City approval of the Tentative Tract Map. The proposed Project requires
compliance with environmental procedures (CEQA and CEQA Guidelines). The Project Plan will also
require a Coastal Development Permit.

Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
D. Statutory Authority
The preparation of the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration is governed by two principal
sets of documents: The California Environmental Quality Act (hereinafter "CEQA," California Public
Resources Code §21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations §15000, et
seq.). Additionally, City procedures and case law provide guidance to this Initial Study and Mitigated
Negative Declaration. The environmental analysis presented in this document primarily focuses on the
changes in the environment that would result from the Project. This environmental document also
evaluates all phases of the Project, including construction and operation.
In compliance with state law and procedures, the City has determined that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration is the appropriate environmental compliance for the proposed Project. Therefore, the City
will not cause to be prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). In compliance with §15063 of the
CEQA Guidelines, the City conducted an Initial Study to determine if the Project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Initial Study checklist form and explanation discussion format meets
the requirements of the CEQA. Section 15063(d)(3) requires that the entries on the Initial Study
checklist identifying environmental effects be briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence
to support the entries. An Initial Study may rely upon expert opinion supported by facts, technical
studies, or other substantial evidence to document its findings. An Initial Study is not intended or
required to include a level of detail that would be provided in an EIR. Therefore, in compliance with
CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the IS /MND is not intended to be a lengthy, detailed document.
E. Incorporation by Reference
Certain documents are incorporated by reference into this Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15150. These documents and the locations where they can
be inspected are identified in the Environmental Checklist (Appendix A of this Initial Study and MND).
Where a document is referenced, its pertinent sections will be briefly summarized in the discussions in
this environmental document.
F. Analysis
The initial step in the City's environmental evaluation is the completion of an Environmental Checklist
(also known as an "Initial Study ") to identify known or potential impacts and eliminate environmentally
irrelevant issues. After each issue listed on the checklist, the City has marked "Potentially Significant
Impact," "Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated," "Less Than Significant Impact,"
or "No Impact" depending on the potential of the Project to have adverse impacts. The Environmental
Checklist prepared for the proposed Project is presented in Appendix A of this environmental
document.
The following discussion provides explanations for the conclusions contained in the Environmental
Checklist regarding the proposed Project's environmental impacts.
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
1. Aesthetics
232 through 2441r Street
City of Seal Beach
The City of Seal Beach is a community located on the Pacific Ocean in northwest Orange County. The
neighborhood where the Project is located contains primarily residences along 17 " Street in the Old
Town area of the City. Pacific Coast Highway is the nearest state highway to the Project, and views
from Pacific Coast Highway would not be impacted by the Project. The topography of the
neighborhood is flat.
Would the Project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project site is located in a residential area that does not provide a scenic vista. Surrounding
properties are developed with residential structures. The Project site is located in a developed area of
the City known as Old Town. The Project is a tentative tract map that consolidates existing parcels into
five lots, four of which would accommodate new residential structures (Exhibit 3). The fifth lot would
remain as is. The residential structures are consistent with the surrounding development. Therefore,
the Project will not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? (Less Than Significant
Impact)
See response to Item 1.a) above. The Project will not have a significant impact to any scenic resources
such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings. However, some trees will be removed from the
property as a result of the Project. However, these trees are not eucalyptus trees and, therefore, are
not covered by the City ordinance protecting such trees. Additionally, 17th Street is not listed as a state
scenic highway, and the proposed Project would not alter any views in the area. Therefore, the Project
will not result in any significant impacts for this topical area.
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its
surroundings? (Less Than Significant Impact)
It is not anticipated that the Project will substantially impact the visual character or quality of the site
and its surroundings. The consolidation of parcels will lead to four single - family residences proposed
for the site, which is consistent with the surrounding uses. Surrounding and nearby land uses to the
Project site include residential structures. Therefore, the proposed Project will not result in any
significant impacts relative to visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The surrounding properties are already developed with existing residential structures. Lighting
associated with the Project from the residential structures will be visible; however, the lighting is not
considered substantial considering the urbanized location. Therefore, substantial light and /or glare
impacts should not occur as a result of the Project.

Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
2. Agriculture and Forestry Resources
The Agriculture and Forestry Resources section of this environmental document evaluates the impact
the proposed Project would have on farmland or forest resources.
Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or 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? (No
Impact)
The proposed Project does not involve conversion of any farmland. The proposed Project does not call
for rezoning of farmland, nor is it currently zoned for agriculture. Therefore, the proposed Project will
not have any impacts on agriculture and forest resources.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? (No Impact)
See response to Item 2.a) above. The Project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural
use, or a Williamson Act contract. The property is not under a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, no
impacts to this topical area would occur as a result of the proposed Project.
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning 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(8))? (No Impact)
The Project does not involve land that is considered forest land or timberland zoned for timberland
production. It is a residential project in a neighborhood zoned for residential. Therefore, no impacts to
this topical area would occur as a result of the proposed Project.
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non- forest use? (No Impact)
The Project is located in an existing urban area and does not involve conversion of forest land to non -
forest use. Therefore, no impacts to this topical area would occur as a result of the proposed Project.
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment 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? (No Impact)
The proposed Project will not have any impact on farmland or agricultural uses. The Project site is
within a developed area surrounded by residential uses. Therefore, the Project will not have any
impact that could result in the conversion of property to non - agricultural use.

3. Air Quality
The information and analysis presented in this Air Quality section are based on the air quality analysis
dated August 5, 2016 prepared by Giroux & Associates. The analysis considers the requirements of the
South Coast Air Quality Management District and the potential impacts of the Project on local and
regional air quality.
Would the Project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Less Than
Significant Impact)
An Air Quality Impact Analysis for the Project was performed by Giroux & Associates (August 5, 2016)
and is included in its entirety as Appendix C to this document. The Project site is located in the South
Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The federal Clean Air Act (1977 Amendments) required that designated
agencies in any area of the nation not meeting national clean air standards must prepare a plan
demonstrating the steps that would bring the area into compliance with all national standards. The
SCAB could not meet the deadlines for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, or PMIO. In the
SCAB, the agencies designated by the governor to develop regional air quality plans are the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG). The two agencies first adopted an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) in 1979
and revised it several times, because earlier attainment forecasts were shown to be overly optimistic.
The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment (CAAA) required that all states with airsheds with "serious" or
worse ozone problems submit a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Amendments to the
SIP have been proposed, revised, and approved over the past decade. The most current regional
attainment emissions forecast for the ozone precursor NOx and particulate matter are shown in
Table 1 below. Substantial reductions in emissions of NOx are forecast to continue throughout the
next several decades. Unless new particulate control programs are implemented, PM1O and PM2.5 are
forecast to slightly increase.

The Air Quality Management District (AQMD) adopted an updated clean air "blueprint" in August 2003.
The 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) was approved by the EPA in 2004. The AQMP outlined
the air pollution measures needed to meet federal health -based standards for ozone by 2010 and for
particulates (PM1c) by 2006. The 2003 AQMP was based upon the federal 1 -hour ozone standard,
which was revoked late in 2005 and replaced by an 8 -hour federal standard. Because of the revocation
of the hourly standard, a new air quality planning cycle was initiated.

of the hourly standard, a new air quality planning cycle was initiated.
Initial Study and 232 through 24417`^ Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
With re- designation of the air basin as non - attainment for the 8 -hour ozone standard, a new
attainment plan was developed. This plan shifted most of the 1 -hour ozone standard attainment
strategies to the 8 -hour standard. As previously noted, the attainment date was to "slip" from 2010 to
2021. The updated attainment plan also includes strategies for ultimately meeting the federal PM2.5
standard.
Because projected attainment by 2021 requires control technologies that do not exist yet, the
SCAQMD requested a voluntary "bump -up" from a "severe non - attainment' area to an "extreme non -
attainment' designation for ozone. The extreme designation will allow a longer time period for these
technologies to develop. If attainment cannot be demonstrated within the specified deadline without
relying on "black -box" measures, EPA would have been required to impose sanctions on the region if
the bump -up request had not been approved. In April 2010, EPA approved the change in the non -
attainment designation from "severe -17" to "extreme." This reclassification sets a later attainment
deadline (2024), but also requires the air basin to adopt even more stringent emissions controls.
In other air quality attainment plan reviews, EPA has disapproved part of the SCAB PM2,5 attainment
plan included in the AQMP. EPA has stated that the current attainment plan relies on PM2.5 control
regulations that have not yet been approved or implemented. It is expected that a number of rules
that are pending approval will remove the identified deficiencies. If these issues are not resolved
within the next several years, federal funding sanctions for transportation projects could result. The
recently adopted 2012 AQMP being readied for ARB submittal to EPA as part of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) is expected to remedy identified PM2.5 planning deficiencies.
The federal Clean Air Act requires that non - attainment air basins have EPA - approved attainment plans
in place. This requirement includes the federal 1 -hour ozone standard even though that standard was
revoked approximately 7 years ago. There was no approved attainment plan for the 1 -hour federal
standard at the time of revocation. Through a legal quirk, the SCAQMD is now forced to develop an
AQMP for the long- since - revoked 1 -hour federal ozone standard. Because the 2012 AQMP contains a
number of control measures for the 8 -hour ozone standard that are equally effective for 1 -hour levels,
the 2012 AQMP is believed to satisfy hourly attainment planning requirements.
AQMPs are required to be updated every 3 years. The 2012 AQMP was adopted in early 2013. An
updated AQMP must therefore be adopted in 2016. Planning for the 2016 AQMP is currently ongoing.
The current attainment deadlines for all federal non - attainment pollutants are now as follows:
• 8 -hour ozone (70 ppb)
• Annual PM2.5 (12 µg/m')
• 8 -hour ozone (80 ppb)
• 8 -hour ozone (75 ppb)
• 1 -hour ozone (120 ppb)
• 24 -hour PM2.5 (35 µg/m')

The key challenge is that NOx emission levels, as a critical ozone precursor pollutant, are forecast to
continue to exceed the levels that would allow the above deadlines to be met. Unless additional NOx
control measures are adopted and implemented, attainment goals may not be met.
The proposed Project does not directly relate to the AQMP in that there are no specific air quality
programs or regulations governing residential development projects. Conformity with adopted plans,
forecasts, and programs relative to population, housing, employment, and land use is the primary

yardstick by which impact significance of planned growth is determined. The SCAQMD, however, while
acknowledging that the AQMP is a growth- accommodating document, does not favor designating
regional impacts as less than significant just because the proposed development is consistent with
regional growth projections. Air quality impact significance for the proposed Project has therefore
been analyzed on a Project - specific basis.
The proposed Project involves the consolidation of parcels at 232 through 244 171h Street in the City of
Seal Beach through Tentative Tract Map 17925 in preparation for the development of four residential
structures. The Project will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the South Coast Air Basin's
Air Quality Management Plan. Therefore, less than significant impacts will occur in this issue area.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality
violation? (Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated)
The Project involves the consolidation of parcels at 232 through 244 on the east side of 17th Street in
the City of Seal Beach through Tentative Tract Map 17925 in preparation for the development of four
residential structures. Air quality impacts are considered "significant" if they cause clean air standards
to be violated where they are currently met, or if they "substantially" contribute to an existing
violation of standards. Any substantial emissions of air contaminants for which there is no safe
exposure, or nuisance emissions such as dust or odors, would also be considered a significant impact.
Appendix G of the California CEQA Guidelines offers the following five tests of air quality impact
significance. A project would have a potentially significant impact if it:
a) Conflicts with or obstructs implementation of the applicable air quality plan.
b) Violates any air quality standard or contributes substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation.
c) Results in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutants for which the
project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors).
d) Exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.
e) Creates objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
Primary Pollutants
Air quality impacts generally occur on two scales of motion. Near an individual source of emissions or a
collection of sources such as a crowded intersection or a parking lot, levels of those pollutants that are
emitted in their already unhealthful form will be highest. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an example of such
a pollutant. Primary pollutant impacts can generally be evaluated directly in comparison to appropriate
clean air standards. Violations of these standards where they are currently met, or a measurable
worsening of an existing or future violation, would be considered a significant impact. Many
particulates, especially fugitive dust emissions, are also primary pollutants. Because of the non -
attainment status of the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) for PMlo, an aggressive dust control program is
required to control fugitive dust during Project construction.
11
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Secondary Pollutants
232 through 24417" Street
City of Seal Beach
Many pollutants require time to transform from a benign contaminant form to a more unhealthful
contaminant. Their impact occurs regionally far from the source. Their incremental regional impact is
minute on an individual basis and cannot be quantified except through complex photochemical
computer models. Analysis of the significance of such emissions is based upon a specified amount of
emissions (e.g., pounds, tons) even though there is no way to translate those emissions directly into a
corresponding ambient air quality impact.
Because of the chemical complexity of primary versus secondary pollutants, the SCAQMD has
designated significant emissions levels as surrogates for evaluating regional air quality impact
significance independent of chemical transformation processes. Projects with daily emissions that
exceed any of the emission thresholds in the following table are recommended by the SCAQMD to be
considered significant under CEQA guidelines.

Additional Indicators
In its CEQA Handbook, the SCAQMD also states that additional indicators should be used as screening
criteria to determine the need for further analysis with respect to air quality. The additional indicators
are as follows:
The project could interfere with the attainment of the federal or state ambient air quality
standards by either violating or contributing to an existing or projected air quality violation.
The project could result in population increases within the regional statistical area which
would be in excess of that projected in the AQMP and in other than planned locations for
the project's build -out year.
The project could generate vehicle trips that cause a CO hot spot.
Sensitive Receptors
Air quality impacts are analyzed relative to those persons with the greatest sensitivity to air pollution
exposure. Such persons are called "sensitive receptors." Sensitive population groups include young
children, the elderly, and the acutely and chronically ill (especially those with cardio- respiratory
disease).
Residential areas are considered to be sensitive to air pollution exposure because they may be
occupied for extended periods, and residents may be outdoors when exposure is highest. Schools are
similarly considered to be sensitive receptors. The proposed Project is surrounded by residential uses.

Construction Activity Impacts
CalEEMod was developed by the SCAQMD to provide a model by which to calculate both construction
emissions and operational emissions from a variety of land use projects. It calculates both the daily
maximum and annual average emissions for criteria pollutants as well as total or annual greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions.
Although exhaust emissions will result from on and off -site equipment, the exact types and numbers of
equipment will vary among contractors such that such emissions cannot be quantified with certainty.
Estimated construction emissions were modeled using CalEEMod 2013.2.2 to identify maximum daily
emissions for each pollutant during project construction.
The proposed Project entails construction of 4 single family homes and demolition of a 1,696 sf duplex.
Construction was modeled in CalEEMod 2013.2.2 using default construction equipment and schedule
for a project of this size as shown in Table 3.

Table 4 —Construction Activity Emissions
Peak daily construction activity emissions are estimated to be below SCAQMD CEQA thresholds
without the need for added mitigation.
Localized Significance Thresholds
The SCAQMD has developed analysis parameters to evaluate ambient air quality on a local level in
addition to the more regional emissions -based thresholds of significance. These analysis elements are
called Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs). LSTs were developed in response to Governing Board's
Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative 1 -4 and the LST methodology was provisionally adopted
in October 2003 and formally approved by SCAQMD's Mobile Source Committee in February 2005.
Use of an LST analysis for a project is optional. For the proposed Project, the primary source of possible
LST impact would be during construction. LSTs are applicable for a sensitive receptor where it is

possible that an individual could remain for 24 hours such as a residence, hospital or convalescent
facility.
LSTs are only applicable to the following criteria pollutants: oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide
(CO), and particulate matter (PMio and PM2.5). LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project
that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal
or state ambient air quality standard, and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of that
pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor.
LST screening tables are available for 25 -, 50 -, 100 -, 200 -, and 500 -meter source - receptor distances.
For this Project the nearest sensitive receptors are the residential uses adjacent to the Project site such
that the most conservative 25 -meter distance was modeled.
The SCAQMD has issued guidance on applying CalEEMod to LSTs. LST pollutant screening level
concentration data is currently published for 1-, 2 -. and 5 -acre sites for varying distances. For this
Project, the most stringent thresholds for a 1 -acre site were applied.
The thresholds and emissions in Table 5 are therefore determined.

LSTs were compared to the maximum daily construction activities. As seen above, emissions will meet
the LST for construction thresholds and are less- than - significant without the application of additional
discretionary mitigation.
Operational Impacts
Operational emissions were calculated using CalEEMod 2013.2.2 for an assumed project build -out year
of 2017 as a target for full occupancy. The Project would generate 38 daily weekday trips, 40 Saturday
trips, and 35 Sunday trips using default traffic engineering data from CalEEMod. All emissions were
evaluated as "new" sources without any credit for existing duplex residents. In addition to mobile
sources from vehicles, general development causes smaller amounts of "area source" air pollution to
be generated from on -site energy consumption (primarily space heating, hot water and landscaping).
These sources represent a minimal percentage of the total Project NOx and CO burdens, and a few
percent for other pollutants. The inclusion of such emissions adds negligibly to the total significant
Project - related emissions burden as shown in Table 6.

As seen in Table 6, the Project would not cause any operational emissions to exceed their respective
SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds even without any credit for existing on -site uses. Operational
emission impacts are judged to be less than significant. No impact mitigation for operational activity
emissions is considered necessary to support this finding.
Construction Emissions Mitigation
Construction activities are not anticipated to cause dust emissions to exceed SCAQMD CEQA
thresholds. Nevertheless, mitigation through enhanced dust control measures is recommended for use
because of the non - attainment status of the air basin and because of the proximity of existing homes.
Similarly, ozone precursor emissions (ROG and NOx) are calculated to be below SCAQMD CEQA
thresholds during construction. However, because of the non - attainment for photochemical smog, the
use of reasonably available control measures for diesel exhaust is recommended.
Recommended mitigation includes:
Mitigation Measure 1— During construction activities, the contractor shall ensure that measures
are complied with to reduce short -term (construction) air quality impacts associated with
the Project: a) controlling fugitive dust by regular watering or other dust palliative
measures (such as covering stock piles with tarps) to meet South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust); b) maintaining equipment
engines in proper tune and establishing a preference for contractors using Tier -3 -rated or
better heavy equipment; c) enforce 5- minute idling limits for both on -road trucks and off -
road equipment; d) provide water spray during loading and unloading of earthen
materials; e) cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand or loose material or require all trucks to
maintain at least two feet of freeboard; and f) sweep streets daily if visible soil material is
carried out from construction site.
Mitigation Measure 2— During construction activities, the Project contractor shall ensure that the
Project will comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance) Rule 402 prohibits the discharge
from any source quantities of air contaminants or other material which would cause injury,
detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons, the public, or
damage to business or property.

c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions, which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)? (Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated)
See response to Item 3.b) above and recommend mitigation in compliance with the SCAQMD for short-
term construction related impacts. The Project site is located in the South Coast Air Basin that is a
designated non - attainment area. The Project does not represent significant growth beyond that
already previously evaluated and forecasted for air quality cumulative impacts of basin -wide growth
and development. Therefore, the Project will not result in any significant impacts cumulatively to air
quality with mitigation incorporated.
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Less Than Significant
with Mitigation Incorporated)
See response to Item 3.b) above and recommended mitigation in compliance with the SCAQMD for
short-term construction related impacts. There may be some minor emissions during the construction
phase of the Project due to the use of construction equipment; however, there will be minimal grading
and soil disturbance connected with the Project. Air quality impacts are analyzed relative to those
persons with the greatest sensitivity to air pollution exposure. Such persons are called "sensitive
receptors." Sensitive population groups include young children, the elderly, and the acutely and
chronically ill (especially those with cardio- respiratory disease).
Residential areas are considered to be sensitive to air pollution exposure because they may be
occupied for extended periods, and residents (and school children) may be outdoors when exposure is
highest. The proposed Project site is surrounded by residential uses.
Dust is typically the primary concern during construction of new infrastructure. Because such
emissions are not amenable to collection and discharge through a controlled source, they are called
"fugitive emissions." Emissions rates vary as a function of many parameters, such as soil silt, soil
moisture, wind speed, area disturbed, number of vehicles, depth of disturbance or excavation. Because
of the inherent uncertainty in the predictive factors for estimating fugitive dust generation, regulatory
agencies typically use one universal "default' factor based on the area disturbed, assuming that all
other input parameters into emission rate prediction fall into midrange average values.
Exhaust emissions will result from on -site heavy equipment. The types and numbers of equipment will
vary among contractors such that such emissions cannot be quantified with certainty. However, based
upon the level of construction necessary to implement the Project, emissions are expected to be
minor.
The small amount of Project - related emissions will also not result in a significant impact on regional
particulate levels. Where construction operations are near existing residences, the dust generated by
such activities is considered a local nuisance as opposed to an actual health hazard. If water or other
soil stabilizers are used to control dust as required by the SCAQMD Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust), the
emission can be reduced significantly. Any particulate disturbance or construction equipment
emissions can be handled under appropriate mitigation measures established for short -term
construction activities.

City of Seal Beach
Mitigation measures are recommended (above) to further reduce short-term impacts associated with
construction emissions in compliance with the SCAQMD. Therefore, no impacts to this topical area
would result from the Project.
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? (Less Than Significant
with Mitigation Incorporated)
The proposed Tentative Tract Map leading to construction of four residences will not create any
significant objectionable odors. A mitigation measure has been presented in Section 3.b) above
requiring compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance). Therefore, the proposed Project will not
result in any significant impacts of objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
4. Biological Resources
The Biological Resources section analyzes the potential impact of the Project on wildlife and plant
resources within the Project area. The Project site is primarily partially developed in an existing
residential neighborhood. There are trees on the property that would be removed, triggering a
requirement to be certain there are no nesting birds in the trees when they are removed.
Would the Project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional
plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The City's General Plan Open Space /Recreation /Conservation Element describes "open space land" as
"any parcel or area of land or water that is essentially unimproved or contains only minor
improvements and is devoted to an open space use. "' The Project site includes parcels in a completely
developed area included in the Old Town /Surfside Planning Area. The Project site has been previously
graded in conjunction with the existing development on the property. The Project site does not contain
any sensitive habitat or wildlife resources nor is it open space areas depicted in the City's General Plan.
Therefore, the Project will not result in any significant impacts to biological resources.
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Less Than Significant
Impact)
See response to Item 4.a) above. Sensitive natural communities called out by the City of Seal Beach
General Plan are primarily located in open space and undeveloped areas of the community. There are
no riparian habitats associated with the Project site. The Project site does not contain any riparian
habitat or sensitive natural communities. Therefore, no impacts to riparian or other sensitive natural
communities are anticipated.

c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.)
through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? (Less Than
Significant Impact)
See response to Item 4.a) above. The site is located in an urbanized area of the City and does not
contain wetlands. The Project does not propose any interruption of hydrological flow or increase in
hard surface that would increase flows toward the ocean. Therefore, less than significant impacts to
riparian habitats or wetlands will result from the proposed Project.
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede
the use of native wildlife nursery sites? (Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated)
See response to Item 4.a) above. The site is located in an urbanized area. The site does not contain any
sensitive habitat or wildlife resources. There are no migratory wildlife corridors on the Project site and
the Project will not interfere with any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species. However,
the Project site contains several trees that will be removed per the site plan (Exhibit 4, page 5 above).
While the trees do not represent substantial biological resources and will be replaced by other kinds of
trees on the site per the landscaping plan, the trees could contain migratory bird nests that are
protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 when occupied. Therefore, prior to
removing the trees, a qualified biologist should determine that there are no active nests in the trees.
Therefore, the Project will not conflict with any policies or ordinance pertaining to biological resources.
Thus, with mitigation, the Project will not have any impact on fish and /or wildlife species.
Mitigation Measure 3— If tree clearing is scheduled to begin during the nesting season
(February 1 to September 15), a qualified biologist shall be retained to survey the trees to
determine the presence of any active bird nests in the trees prior to their removal. If
nests are identified, removal of the trees should not proceed until after the nesting
season concludes on September 15.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinance protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance? (No Impact)
See response to Item 4.a ) above. The Project site does not contain any biological resources. There is a
local ordinance protecting eucalyptus trees, but the Project property has no such trees. Therefore, the
Project will not conflict with any policies or ordinance pertaining to biological resources.
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? (No
Impact)
See responses to Items 4.a) and 4.e) above. The site is located in an urbanized area. The site does not
include a Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan. The processing of the
tract map and subsequent development does not involve any activities that would impact biological
resources that would be subject to a conservation plan.

S. Cultural Resources
The Cultural Resources section analyzes impacts on historical resources in the Project site. The Project
site has been previously graded to support the development that currently exists on the parcels. None
of the structures located on the parcels are listed as historical structures by the City of Seal Beach.
Would the Project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in
Section 15064.5? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The City's General Plan /Historical Resources Element includes a comprehensive evaluation of historical
resources citywide.' The Project proposes to consolidate existing lots into five lots, four of which would
be developed with single family residences. Identified archeological resources within the City of Seal
Beach are primarily located on the Naval Weapons Station, the Hellman Ranch property, and
potentially on the Boeing property. This Project is located in the Old Town planning area of the City of
Seal Beach. The Project site has previously been graded and developed with some residential uses.
Additionally, the Project site is already developed and is surrounded by existing residential uses. Also,
the City's Cultural Resources Element does not mention any recorded archeological sites in the Project
area. Additionally, a notification letter required by AB 52 was sent to tribal representatives associated
with the project area about the proposed project. No letters from tribal representatives were received
and no one has requested consultation on the project. Therefore, due to the existing condition of the
site, it is anticipated that the Project will not have any impacts on cultural (including historical)
resources.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archeological resource pursuant
to Section 15064.5? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item S.a) above. The Project is proposed adjacent to properties that have already
been graded in conjunction with the current uses (i.e., residential) and is located in an area that is a
residential neighborhood. The proposed Project will require minimal grading due to the existing lot
conditions and the nature of the Project. Grading activities are not anticipated to occur anywhere
other than areas previously excavated and graded. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the Project will
result in any significant impact to archaeological resources.
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See responses to Items 5.a) and 5.b) above. The General Plan Cultural Resources Element did not call
out the Old Town area as a place with significant cultural resources. It is not anticipated that the
Project will result in any direct or indirect impacts to unique paleontological resources or geologic
features due to the type of Project and existing developed condition of the property.

d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside formal cemeteries? (No
Impact)
See responses to Items 5.a) and 5.1p) above. The site is located in an urbanized area with adjacent
developed uses (residential facilities). Due to the developed condition of the site it is not anticipated
that the Project would result in any impacts relative to disturbance of human remains, including those
interred outside formal cemeteries.
6. Geology and Soils
The Geology section evaluates the potential impacts of Southern California's seismic events on the
Project. The analysis is based largely on the City's General Plan/ Safety Element and regional mapping
of fault lines and historical earthquake information. The analysis includes the range of geotechnical
events that could impact the Project site.
Would the Project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving:
Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist - Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on
other substantial evidence of a known fault? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The City's General Plan /Safety Element includes an evaluation of public safety that addresses geology
and soils of the City and is herein incorporated by reference.'
The City, as well as most of Southern California, is located in a region of historic seismic activity. There
have been many earthquakes throughout recorded history; some have been large. The 1933 Long
Beach earthquake was the most powerful and closest shock to hit Seal Beach in living memory, and the
1994 Northridge quake was the most recent powerful shock. In October, 1969, a quake occurred that
was felt predominantly in Seal Beach and Northwest Orange County. By way of comparison, the three
quakes listed above had the following magnitudes: 1933 Long Beach, 6.3; 1994 Northridge, 6.8; 1969
Seal Beach, 4.3. The active faults of Southern California will continue to be subjected to stresses which
produce movement that in turn cause earthquakes of varying magnitude and intensity.
There is a known active fault system located within the limits of the City. The Seal Beach Fault, a
segment of the Newport- Inglewood Fault Zone, is located within the City and generally parallels the
coastline, extending from Long Beach generally through the Hellman Ranch property and the Seal
Beach Naval Weapons Station. This fault has been delineated on the Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault
Zone. The principal seismic hazard which could affect the Project site is ground shaking resulting from
an earthquake occurring along any of the major active faults in Southern California. The most
significant known active faults include the Newport- Inglewood, Whittier, and Palos Verdes faults. The
closest known active fault to the Project site includes Newport Inglewood (LA Basin) fault which is
approximately one mile from the 17" Street Project site. Surface rupture occurs when there is a break
in ground surface during or as a consequence of seismic activity. As indicated previously, the site is
located near an Alquist - Priolo zone, but there are not any identified faults within the Project site

City of Seal Beach
property. Therefore, potential for surface rupture on site is considered low due to the lack of known
active faults specifically on -site.
The potential for damage resulting from seismic - related events exists within the City as it does
throughout Southern California. Seismic hazards include ground shaking, ground failure, ground
displacement, tsunamis, and seiches. The site is located in an area of the City that is designated as
having liquefaction potential per the State of California Seismic Hazard Zones Map, Seal Beach
Quadrangle (1998).
The site is expected to be subject to moderate to severe ground shaking from a regional seismic event
within the project life of the proposed enclosure. However, residential structures already exist on the
site and the addition of four residences will not increase the site's susceptibility to geological issues.
With the implementation of modern building codes designed to secure structures during seismic
events, impacts in this area will be less than significant.
The topography of the site is relatively flat. The site is not located in an area of generally unique
geologic or physical features.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item 6.a)i) above. Due to the nature of the Project, all potential impacts relative to
geology and soils are less than significant.
iii. Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item 6.a)i) above. The site is located in an area of the City that is designated as
liquefaction hazard zone per the State's Seismic Hazard Zones Map. However, the Project will be
designed to ameliorate the potential for liquefaction issues through modern construction techniques.
Therefore, all potential impacts relative to geology and soils are at a less than significant level.
iv. Landslides? (No Impact)
The property is flat. The site is not subject to potential impacts associated with landslides. Therefore, it
is not anticipated that Project activities will result in any impacts associated with landslides.
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? (No Impact)
The Project will not result in any impacts to soil erosion or loss of topsoil. The site has been previously
graded in conjunction with the existing uses. The site is relatively flat in topography and will not
require extensive grading. Therefore, there are no impacts from the Project in the area of potential
loss of topsoil.
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a
result of the project and potentially result in on or off -site landslide, lateral spreading,
subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? (No Impact)
See response to Item 6.a)i) above. Due to the nature of the Project, all potential impacts relative to
geology and soils are at a less than significant level.

d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item 6.a)i), which addresses geology and soils. The site includes the residential lots at
232 through 244 17' Street in the City of Seal Beach. The Project, consolidation of lots in anticipation
of building four new residential structures, will involve minimal grading and all potential impacts
relative to geology and soils will be at a less than significant level.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative
wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of
wastewater? (No Impact)
The Project site will be served by the local sewer and water system; as such, the Project does not
involve issues pertaining to soils incapable of supporting septic tanks or alternative wastewater
disposal systems.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions section analyzes the impact the proposed Project would have on
emissions suspected in the issue of climate change around the world. The Project was analyzed within
the Air Quality Study conducted by Giroux & Associates and included as Appendix C of this document.
Would the Project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment? (Less Than Significant Impact)
"Greenhouse gases" (so called because of their role in trapping heat near the surface of the earth)
emitted by human activity are implicated in global climate change, commonly referred to as "global
warming." These greenhouse gases contribute to an increase in the temperature of the earth's
atmosphere by transparency to short wavelength visible sunlight, but near opacity to outgoing
terrestrial long wavelength heat radiation. The principal greenhouse gases (GHGs) are carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water vapor. Fossil fuel consumption in the transportation sector
(on -road motor vehicles, off- highway mobile sources, and aircraft) is the single largest source of GHG
emissions, accounting for approximately one -half of GHG emissions globally. Industrial and commercial
sources are the second largest contributors of GHG emissions with about one -fourth of total emissions.
California has passed several bills and the Governor has signed at least three executive orders
regarding greenhouse gases. GHG statues and executive orders (EO) include AB 32, SB 1368, SB 375,
EO 5- 03 -05, EO 5 -20 -06 and EO 5- 01 -07.
AB 32 is one of the most significant pieces of environmental legislation that California has adopted.
Among other things, it is designed to maintain California's reputation as a "national and international
leader on energy conservation and environmental stewardship." It will have wide - ranging effects on
California businesses and lifestyles as well as far reaching effects on other states and countries. A
unique aspect of AB 32, beyond its broad and wide - ranging mandatory provisions and dramatic GHG
reductions are the short time frames within which it must be implemented. Major components of the
AB 32 include:
Require the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions beginning with sources or
categories of sources that contribute the most to statewide emissions.
22
Initial Study and 232 through 244 Ir Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
Requires immediate "early action" control programs on the most readily controlled GHG
sources.
• Mandates that by 2020, California's GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels.
• Forces an overall reduction of GHG gases in California by 25% to 40 %, from business as
usual, over the next 13 years (by 2020).
• Must complement efforts to achieve and maintain federal and state ambient air quality
standards and to reduce toxic air contaminants.
Statewide, the framework for developing the implementing regulations for AB 32 is underway.
Additionally, through the California Climate Registry (CCAR), general and industry- specific protocols for
assessing and reporting GHG emissions have been developed. GHG sources are categorized into direct
sources (i.e., company owned) and indirect sources (i.e., not company owned). Direct sources include
combustion emissions from on -and off -road mobile sources, and fugitive emissions. Indirect sources
include off -site electricity generation and non - company owned mobile sources.
In response to the requirements of 5897, the State Resources Agency developed guidelines for the
treatment of GHG emissions under CEQA. These new guidelines became state laws as part of Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations in March 2010. The CEQA Appendix G Guidelines were modified
to include GHG as a required analysis element. A project would have a potentially significant impact if
it:
Generates GHG emissions, directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment, or,
Conflicts with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted to reduce GHG emissions.
Section 15064.4 of the Code specifies how significance of GHG emissions is to be evaluated. The
process is broken down into quantification of project - related GHG emissions, making a determination
of significance, and specification of any appropriate mitigation if impacts are found to be potentially
significant. At each of these steps, the new GHG guidelines afford the lead agency with substantial
flexibility.
Emissions identification may be quantitative, qualitative or based on performance standards. CEQA
guidelines allow the lead agency to "select the model or methodology it considers most appropriate."
The most common practice for transportation /combustion GHG emissions quantification is to use a
computer model such as CaIEEMod, as was used in the ensuing analysis.
The significance of those emissions then must be evaluated; the selection of a threshold of significance
must take into consideration what level of GHG emissions would be cumulatively considerable. The
guidelines are clear that they do not support a zero net emissions threshold. If the lead agency does
not have sufficient expertise in evaluating GHG impacts, it may rely on thresholds adopted by an
agency with greater expertise.
On December 5, 2008 the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted an Interim quantitative GHG Significance
Threshold for industrial projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency (e.g., stationary source permit
projects, rules, plans) of 10,000 metric tons (MT) CO2 equivalent /year. In September 2010, the Working
Group released revisions which recommended a threshold of 3,000 MT CO2e for all land use types. This
3,000 MT /year recommendation has been used as a guideline for this analysis. In the absence of an
adopted numerical threshold of significance, project related GHG emissions in excess of the guideline
level are presumed to trigger a requirement for enhanced GHG reduction at the project level.

b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of greenhouse gases? (less Than Significant Impact)
The City of Seal Beach has not yet developed a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. The applicable GHG
planning document is AB -32. As discussed above, the Project is not expected to result in a significant
increase in GHG emissions. As a result, the Project results in GHG emissions below the recommended

8. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of this document evaluates any potential impacts from
hazardous substances caused by the Project. The section analyzes any potential impacts from
demolition of existing structures on the Project site and use of hazardous substances involved in
construction activities such as storage of gasoline or oils related to construction equipment.
Would the Project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through routine transport, use,
or disposal of hazardous materials? (No Impact)
The proposed Project will be built within the four lots on 17th Street in the City of Seal Beach. The
Project, consolidation of residential lots in anticipation of construction of four new residential units,
does not generate the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials that could create a
significant hazard to the public or the environment. The Project involves the eventual construction of
the four new residential structures on the property. Therefore, there is no impact to this issue area.
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment? (Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated)
See response to 8.a) above. The Project will not be a generator of hazardous materials. However, the
Project includes demolition of an older residential duplex structure on the site that could contain lead
or other hazardous material associated with older development. A mitigation measure is proposed to
cover any potential release of hazardous materials through the demolition of this structure. No
significant hazardous materials would be stored or handled on -site associated with the operational
characteristics of the Project once it is developed.
Mitigation Measure 4— Prior to demolition of the existing residential structures on the Project
site, the contractor shall survey the structures to determine the presence of any
hazardous substances such as asbestos or lead -based paint. If such materials are present,
they will be remediated using mandatory procedures specified by the SCAQMD (Rule
4102, Asbestos Emissions from Demolition /Renovation Activities) and state air toxics
agencies.
Therefore, with the implementation of the above mitigation measures, impacts associated with this
topical area are anticipated to be less than significant as a result of implementation of the proposed
Project.
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances,
or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? (Less Than Significant
Impact)
There are no existing or proposed schools within one - quarter mile of the Project site. There is a pre-
school in the area at 233 Seal Beach Boulevard about one - quarter mile from the Project site. However,
25
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
232 through 244 Ir Street
City of Seal Beach
there will be no on -going hazardous materials handled at the site and the above mitigation measure
should contain emissions from demolition activities slated at the site. Therefore, there are less than
significant impacts in this subject area.
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites which complied
pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant
hazard to the public or the environment? (No Impact)
See response to 8.a) above. The Project is not listed as a site remediated for contamination by an
underground storage tank on the property.' There are sites located near the Project site at 1760 and
1780 Pacific Coast Highway known as the Jeong Property that have been assessed for leaking
underground storage tanks (LUST). The facilities have been completed for cleanup and the cases are
closed. Therefore, there are no impacts from existing hazardous materials sites.
e) For a project within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted,
within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact)
The Project site is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan height restriction area for the Los
Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base. However, the Project will be well under the aviation height
restriction in the area. Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to have any impacts associated with a
public airport or the safety of people working within the airport environs.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety
hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (No Impact)
See response to Item 8.e) above. Additionally, the Project would not result in a safety hazard for
people residing in the Project area. Therefore, there are no impacts to this topical area from the
Project.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan
or emergency evacuation plan? (No Impact)
The Project will not result in any impacts to an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan.
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland
fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands? (No Impact)
The Project is located in a developed area and is not adjacent to wildland areas. Therefore, the Project
itself (or location) will not be a significant risk involving wildland fires.

9. Hydrology and Water Quality
The Hydrology and Water Quality section of the document evaluates the impact of the proposed
Project on water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. The section also considers any
impacts to the drainage of the property and any potential impacts from storm water runoff to streams,
rivers, or the Pacific Ocean.
Would the Project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? (Less Than Significant
with Mitigation Incorporated)
The City of Seal Beach (and the Project site) is located in the Santa Ana River Basin. The Project area is
under the jurisdiction of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board ( RWQCB) Santa Ana
Region for issues related to water quality. The Santa Ana Region of the RWQCB is nearly 3,000 square
miles in size, with a population of almost five million people. The Santa Ana Region includes cities and
municipalities in a portion of Orange County (includes Seal Beach), and Riverside and San Bernardino
counties. Each of the nine Regional Boards within California is required to adopt a Water Quality
Control Plan, or Basin Plan. Each Basin Plan is designed to preserve and enhance water quality and
protect the beneficial uses of all regional waters. Specifically, the Basin Plan: 1) designates beneficial
uses for surface and ground waters; 2) sets narrative and numerical objectives that must be attained or
maintained to protect the designated beneficial uses and conform to the state's anti - degradation
policy; 3) describes implementation programs to meet the objectives and protect the beneficial uses of
all waters in the region; and 4) describes surveillance and monitoring activities to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Basin Plan.
There is a Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) which is implemented by the cities (including Seal
Beach), the County of Orange, and the Orange County Flood Control District. The DAMP was prepared
in compliance with specific requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) storm water program. The DAMP includes a wide range of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
and control techniques to further reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm drain system.
There are two primary types of source pollution: single -point source and nonpoint Source pollution.
Single -point sources are water pollutants that originate from a single -point source such as factories.
Potential impacts to water quality associated with this type of Project (residential facilities) are
nonpoint source pollution. Nonpoint source pollution includes materials and /or chemicals (e.g., motor
oils /grease, paint, pet wastes, garden chemicals, litter) that may be washed into the storm drain
system from various sources. Nonpoint source pollutants are typically washed into the storm drain
system by rainwater and other means from streets, parking areas, residential neighborhoods,
commercial /retail centers, construction sites. Since storm drains flow directly into the ocean without
treatment, potential pollution can have an impact on water quality and wildlife. The Project site is
currently undeveloped. The proposed Project involves the consolidation of lots at 232 through 244 17th
Street in Seal Beach in anticipation of building four new residential units. The proposed construction
activities at the site will implement BMPs to reduce any potential impacts to water quality. Post -
development activities have the potential to discharge contaminants into the storm water and urban
runoff and into the municipal storm drain system of the City of Seal Beach.
Implementation of the Project will include compliance with the adopted Drainage Area Management
Plan and adoption of Best Management Practices for handling any runoff from the proposed
27
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
232 through 24417`" Street
City of Seal Beach
residential buildings. The BMPs are construction devices, procedures and methods that are
implemented to reduce (or eliminate) source pollution (runoff). Additionally, the Project will disturb
less than 1 acre of the existing Project site, which does not require the preparation of a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). However, a Water Quality Management Plan should be prepared
to assure that post - construction run -off will not impact water quality. Therefore, potential impacts to
water quality will be reduced to less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure 5— Prior to construction activities, a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) will be prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Orange County DAMP and
the State Regional Water Quality Control Board.
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop
to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits
have been granted)? (No Impact)
See response to Item 9.a) above. The Project consolidates lots at 232 through 244 17 " Street in the
City of Seal Beach in anticipation of building four new residential units on the property that will be
served by the existing local sewer and water system.
The Project implementation at this site does not involve any construction activities (or long -term
Project operations) that would impact groundwater supplies or groundwater recharge. The proposed
improvements at the site are also not anticipated to have any significant impacts relative to
groundwater. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the Project will have any significant impact on
groundwater. The Project will not impact groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater
recharge.
c) Substantially alter existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off -site? (No Impact)
See response to Item 9.a) above. The Project will not result in a significant change to the drainage
pattern of property. The development of the site will not alter the course of a stream or a river. The
Project area will continue to drain as it does today. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the Project will
result in any impacts to erosion or siltation on- or off -site.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of a course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on or off -site? (Less Than
Significant Impact)
See response to Item 9.c) above. The Project does not involve any alteration of the existing and /or
planned drainage system (pattern) of the area, including a substantial increase in the rate or amount of
surface runoff. The Project property has been developed previously. The proposed Project will increase
building coverage on the site, but is not anticipated to create runoff beyond that which could be
handled by the existing storm drain system. Therefore, the runoff is not anticipated to significantly
28
Initial Study and 232 through 24417"' Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
increase in a manner that would have impacts relative to flooding on or offsite. Therefore, less than
significant impacts to this topical area will occur as a result of the Project.
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
(Less Than Significant Impact)
See responses to Items 9.a) and 9.c) above. The City of Seal Beach is primarily built -out and contains an
existing storm water drainage system. Local drainage facilities are maintained by the City of Seal Beach
and provide for the collection of surface storm water. Surface water is then deposited into regional
drainage channels that are owned and maintained by the Orange County Flood Control District
( OCFCD). The OCFCD plans its drainage facilities to accommodate a 100 -year flood. The closest major
channel (less than one mile away from the site) to the site is the Seal Beach Storm Drain Channel
( OCFCD channel). The City's General Plan identified that the City's storm drain system is primarily built
to 25 -year storm event standards.
The Project is consistent with the capacity of the existing storm drain system in the City of Seal Beach
and will be designed and constructed to comply with storm drain requirements. The project includes
water quality treatment drains on each parcel where the single family dwellings will be constructed,
which will eliminate polluted runoff from the properties beyond that which exists today. The project is
consistent with the land use designation on the property and will not lead to substantially more runoff
than anticipated in the Seal Beach General Plan. Therefore, impacts associated with runoff will be less
than significant as a result of the proposed Project.
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? (No Impact)
See responses to Items 9.a) and 9.c) above. The Project will comply with all existing requirements
regarding water quality, and the Project does not propose any changes to the drainage of the facility.
Therefore, it is not anticipated that the Project will substantially degrade water quality.
g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? (No Impact)
The proposed Project includes the construction of housing. However, the Project site is located within
Zone X per the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and on the Federal Flood Insurance
Rate Map Panel No. 06059C -02261 (2009). The site is located outside the 100 -year flood plain.
Therefore, no impacts relative to the 100 -year flood hazard will occur as a result of the proposed
Project.
h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows? (No Impact)
See responses to Items 9.a), 9.c) and 9.g) above. The Project site is not located within a 100 -year flood
plan and therefore will not result in any potential impacts associated with a 100 -year flood hazard
area.
29
Initial Study and 232 through 244 17`h Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? (No Impact)
See responses to Items 9.a), 9.c) and 9.g) above. The Project is not located within a 100 -year flood
plan.
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See responses to Items 9.a) and 9.c) above. The Project site is located above the beach area that would
be the most vulnerable to a potential tsunami from seismic activity. The Seal Beach General Plan Safety
Element rates the chance of tsunamis occurring in the Project area to be low based upon existing data,
but notes that an earthquake along the Newport- Inglewood fault would carry a higher tsunami
potential in the area .5 Therefore, impacts associated with inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow
are less than significant with the proposed Project.
10. Land Use and Planning
The Land Use and Planning section evaluates any potential conflicts between the Project and the City's
General Plan and Zoning Code or any habitat conservation plan established by the City of Seal Beach.
Would the Project:
a) Physically divide an established community? (No Impact)
The Project site is at 232 through 244 17th Street in the City of Seal Beach. The Project does not divide
an established community. The Project proposes consolidation of lots leading to development of four
residences. The Project site is located in an existing residential neighborhood and does not propose to
divide the community in any way. Therefore, there are no impacts relative to this topic will result due
to the implementation of the Project.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction
over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal
program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project does not conflict with any applicable land use plan. The Project is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Designation "Residential High Density" and Zoning "High Density Residential
Zone" on the property. The Project is located in a residential neighborhood and the proposed Project is
consistent with the surrounding residential uses.
The Project is located within the Coastal Zone. The Project is consistent with the zoning, the General
Plan, Local Coastal Program, and the Circulation Element of the City of Seal Beach. Therefore, the
Project's impacts are less than significant in this topical area.

Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation
plan? (No Impact)
See responses to Items 10.a) and 10.b) above. The Project site is located in a developed area and the
surrounding uses have already been graded and constructed with building uses. The site is not subject
to any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan (NCCP). Therefore,
no impacts relative to this topic will occur as a result of implementation of the Project.
11. Mineral Resources
The Mineral Resources section of the document analyzes any impacts the proposed Project might have
on mineral resources in the City.
Would the Project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the
region and the residents of the state? (No Impact)
The Project site is not located within a known and /or designated mineral resources area. Therefore, no
significant decrease of natural resources is anticipated as a result of the Project.
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan? (No Impact)
See response to Item 11.a) above. The City's General Plan does not delineate any locally important
mineral resources other than oil in the City. These oil resources are not located within the area of the
proposed Project. Therefore, the proposed Project will not result in any significant impacts to a locally
important mineral resource.
12. Noise
The Noise section of the environmental document evaluates the impact the Project will have on the
neighborhood and the impact of the noise environment on the Project itself. The analysis is based on
the Noise Analysis conducted by Giroux & Associates on August 5, 2016 and included as Appendix D of
the document.
Noise Setting
Sound is mechanical energy transmitted by pressure waves in a compressible medium such as air.
Noise is generally considered to be unwanted sound. Sound is characterized by various parameters
that describe the rate of oscillation of sound waves, the distance between successive troughs or crests,
the speed of propagation, and the pressure level or energy content of a given sound. In particular, the
sound pressure level has become the most common descriptor used to characterize the loudness of an
ambient sound level.
Loud or soft, noisy or quiet, high -pitch and low -pitch are all qualitative terms used to describe sound.
These terms are relative descriptions. The science of acoustics attempts to quantify the human
perception of sound into a quantitative and measurable basis. Amplitude is the measure of the
pressure exerted by sound waves. Amplitude may be so small as to be inaudible by humans, or so
great as to be painful. Frequency refers to pitch or tone. The unit of measure is in cycles per second
31
Initial Study and 232 through 24417'h Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
called "hertz." Very low frequency bass tones and ultra -high frequency treble are difficult for humans
to detect. Many noise generators in the ambient world are multi - spectral.
The decibel (dB) scale is used to quantify sound pressure levels. Although decibels are most commonly
associated with sound, "dB" is a generic descriptor that is equal to ten times the logarithmic ratio of
any physical parameter versus some reference quantity. For sound, the reference level is the faintest
sound detectable by a young person with good auditory acuity.
Since the human ear is not equally sensitive to all sound frequencies within the entire auditory
spectrum, human response is factored into sound descriptions by weighting sounds within the range of
maximum human sensitivity more heavily in a process called "A- weighting," written as dB(A). Any
further reference in this discussion to decibels written as "dB" should be understood to be A- weighted.
Leq is a time - averaged sound level; a single- number value that expresses the time - varying sound level
for the specified period as though it were a constant sound level with the same total sound energy as
the time- varying level. Its unit is the decibel (dB). The most common averaging period for Leq is hourly.
Because community receptors are more sensitive to unwanted noise intrusion during more sensitive
evening and nighttime hours, state law requires that an artificial dBA increment be added to quiet time
noise levels. The 24 -hour noise descriptor with a specified evening and nocturnal penalty is called the
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). CNELs are a weighted average of hourly Leq's.
The City of Seal Beach has established guidelines for acceptable community noise levels that are based
upon the CNEL rating scale to ensure that noise exposure is considered in any development. CNEL-
based standards apply to noise sources whose noise generation is preempted from local control (such
as from on -road vehicles, trains, and airplanes) and are used to make land use decisions as to the
suitability of a given site for its intended use. These CNEL -based standards are articulated in the Noise
Element of the city's General Plan.
Exhibit 5 shows the noise compatibility guidelines for various uses. These guidelines would apply in
usable outdoor space such as patios, yards, and spas. The guidelines indicate that an exterior noise
level of 60 dB CNEL is considered to be a "normally acceptable" noise level for single - family, duplex,
and mobile homes involving normal conventional construction, without any special noise insulation
requirements. Exterior noise levels up to 65 dB CNEL are typically considered "conditionally
acceptable," and residential construction should only occur after a detailed analysis of the noise
reduction requirements is made and needed noise attenuation features are included in the Project
design. Exterior noise attenuation features include, but are not limited to, setbacks to place structures
outside the conditionally acceptable noise contour, orienting structures so no windows open to the
noise source, and /or installing noise barriers such as berms or solid walls.
An interior CNEL of 45 dB is mandated by the State of California Noise Insulation Standards (CCR,
Title 24, Part 6, Section T25 -28) for multiple - family dwellings and hotel and motel rooms. In 1988, the
State Building Standards Commission expanded that standard to include all habitable rooms in
residential use, included single - family dwelling units. Since normal noise attenuation within residential
structures with closed windows is 20 to 30 dB, an exterior noise exposure of 65 to 75 dB CNEL allows
the interior standard to be met without any specialized structural attenuation (e.g., dual paned
windows), but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning in order to
maintain a comfortable living environment.

Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
The City of Seal Beach limits construction activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.,
Mondays through Friday, and the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and never on Sundays
or city- observed federal holidays. Construction activities that occur during allowable hours are exempt
from compliance with numerical noise standards.
Seal Beach Noise Ordinance Standards
Planning standards generally apply to land use decisions made in response to noise sources pre-
empted from local control such as motor vehicles, aircraft, etc. Noises from "stationary" sources are
amenable to regulation through the Municipal Code. Chapter 7.15 of the City's code governs noise
from one property crossing the property line of an adjacent property. The residential noise standard is
55 dB by day and 50 d6 at night for no more than 30 minutes in any hour. Deviations from the baseline
are allowed for noise "spikes" for progressively shorter periods for more substantial deviations up to a
maximum of 20 dB.
Seal Beach experiences two types of noise issues. In areas where residential uses abut commercial or
recreational activities, noise impacts may be perceived as intrusive, especially during noise sensitive
quiet hours. Complaints about restaurant music, swim school, auto - maintenance, drive - throughs, etc.
may occur. There are no commercial /residential interfaces at the Project -site. Because of the small lot
sizes in much of Seal Beach, mechanical equipment on one parcel may be located very close to the
property line of an adjacent residential parcel. Motor hum and on /off cycling noise can be judged as
intrusive. In recognition of this occasional conflict, a separate section of the Municipal Code directly
addresses "Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning Equipment" (7.15.035). Modern equipment is
typically quieter and less prone to causing problems. Compliance with the standards in this section of
the code is nevertheless an important consideration in preventing possible noise nuisance.
Would the Project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? (Less Than
Significant With Mitigation Incorporated)
A noise assessment of the Project was completed by Giroux and Associates on August 5, 2016 to
determine noise impacts from the proposed Project. The noise study is included as Appendix D to this
environmental document. The Project itself will not generate noise levels in excess of standards
established in the General Plan.
Baseline Noise Levels
A noise study was conducted by Giroux & Associates on Monday, August 2, 2016 with short term noise
readings at the Project site. Meter 1 was located along 17`" Street and reflects existing traffic noise.
Meter 2 was on the back of the site adjacent to the Alley. The measurement results are shown below.
Table 9 — Short-Term Noise Measurements (dB[A])
34
Initial Study and 232 through 244 17`^ Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
The observed noise level was 49 Leq at Meter 1. Monitoring experience has shown that 24 -hour
weighted CNELs are typically 2 -3 dB higher than mid - afternoon Leq readings shown above which would
translate to 51 -53 dB CNEL. The observed noise level was 52 dB Leq at Meter 2, which would
correspond with a CNEL of 54 -55. Both measurements are well within the recommended Seal Beach
residential compatibility threshold.
Noise Significance Criteria
Noise impacts are considered significant if they result in:
a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in
the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies.
b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne
noise levels.
C. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project.
d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project.
Standards of Significance
Noise impacts are considered significant if they expose persons to levels in excess of standards
established in local general plans or noise ordinances. The exterior noise standard for the City of Seal
Beach residential uses is 60 dBA CNEL in usable outdoor space such as backyards, decks, and patios. If
required, attenuation through setback and project perimeter barriers is anticipated to be used to
reduce traffic noise to the 60 dBA CNEL goal. However, an inability to achieve this goal through the
application of reasonably available mitigation measures would be considered a significant impact.
Impacts may also be significant if they create either a substantial permanent or temporary increase.
The term "substantial' is not quantified in CEQA guidelines. In most environmental analyses,
"substantial" is taken to mean a level that is clearly perceptible to humans. In practice, this is at least a
+3 dB increase. Some agencies, such as Caltrans, require substantial increases to be +10 dB or more if
noise standards are not exceeded by the increase. For purposes of this analysis, a +3 dB increase is
considered a substantial increase. The following noise impacts due to Project - related traffic would be
considered significant:
1. If construction activities were to audibly intrude into adjacent residential areas during
periods of heightened noise sensitivity.
2. If project traffic noise were to cause an increase by a perceptible amount ( +3 dB CNEL) or
expose receivers to levels exceeding city compatibility noise standards.
3. If future build -out noise levels were to expose Seal Beach sensitive receivers to levels
exceeding compatibility standards of 60 dB CNEL exterior at any outdoor uses or 45 dB
CNEL interior noise levels in any habitable space.
Construction Noise Impacts
The Seal Beach Noise Ordinance regulates construction noise by a prohibition against making
"unnecessary" noise from construction during noise- sensitive weekday hours and all day on Sundays.

Initial Study and 232 through 244 1711 Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
Temporary construction noise impacts will vary markedly because the noise strength of construction
equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment used and its activity level. Short -term
construction noise impacts tend to occur in discrete phases dominated initially by demolition of
roadway surfaces and earth - moving sources. Construction activities are treated separately in various
community noise ordinances because they do not represent a chronic, permanent noise source.
Demolition and construction noise impacts vary markedly because the noise strength of construction
equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment used which changes during the course of the
Project. Construction noise tends to occur in discrete phases dominated initially by demolition and /or
earth - moving sources and later for finish construction. Exhibit 6 shows the typical range of
construction activity noise generation as a function of equipment used in various building phases. The
earth - moving sources are seen to be the noisiest with equipment noise ranging up to about 90 dB(A) at
50 feet from the source. Spherically radiating point sources of noise emissions are atmospherically
attenuated by a factor of 6 dB per doubling of distance, or about 20 dB in 500 feet of propagation. The
loudest earth - moving noise sources may therefore sometimes be detectable above the local
background beyond 1,000 feet from the construction area. An impact radius of 1,000 feet or more pre-
supposes a clear line -of -sight and no other machinery or equipment noise that would mask Project
construction noise. With buildings and other barriers to interrupt line -of -sight conditions, the potential
"noise envelope" around individual construction sites is reduced. Construction noise impacts are,
therefore, somewhat less than that predicted under idealized input conditions.
As discussed, the City's Municipal Code limits construction activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m.
and 8:00 p.m., Mondays through Friday, and the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and
never on Sundays or city- observed federal holidays. Construction activities that occur during allowable
hours are exempt from compliance with numerical noise standards during daytime hours.
These time of day restrictions would be effective since it would prohibit construction noise during the
hours when people normally sleep and would prohibit construction noise during the early morning and
evening when people are typically within their home and more sensitive to noise effects. In addition,
noise levels would be temporary and intermittent. Although construction noise impacts may be
noticeable at the adjacent residences and viewed as a temporary nuisance, impacts would be less than
significant.
Mitigation Measure 6—The City and the general contractor shall be responsible for limiting
construction activities to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. No noise -
generating construction activities shall occur on Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays.
Mitigation Measure 7 —The City and the general contractor shall ensure that stockpiling and
staging activities should be located as far as practicable from dwellings and all mobile
equipment shall have properly operating and maintained mufflers.
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne
noise levels? (Less Than Significant Impact)

Ground -borne vibration occurs when heavy equipment travels over unpaved surfaces or when it is
engaged in soil movement. The effects of ground -borne vibration include discernible movement of
building floors, rattling of windows, shaking of items on shelves or hanging on walls, and rumbling
sounds. Vibration related problems generally occur due to resonances in the structural components of
a building because structures amplify groundborne vibration. Within the "soft" sedimentary surfaces of
much of Southern California, ground vibration is quickly damped out. Groundborne vibration is almost
never annoying to people who are outdoors (FTA 2006).
Groundborne vibrations from construction activities rarely reach levels that can damage structures.
Because vibration is typically not an issue, very few jurisdictions have adopted vibration significance
thresholds. Vibration thresholds have been adopted for major public works construction projects, but
these relate mostly to structural protection (cracking foundations or stucco) rather than to human
annoyance.
The vibration descriptor commonly used to determine structural damage is the peak particle velocity
(ppv) which is defined as the maximum instantaneous positive or negative peak of the vibration
signal, usually measured in inches per second. The range of such vibration is as follows in Table 10.
Table 10 — Human Response to Transient Vibration
Source: Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual, 2013
Over the years, numerous vibration criteria and standards have been suggested by researchers,
organizations, and governmental agencies. There are no Caltrans or Federal Highway Administration
standards for vibration.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) Standard R 8 -96
describes three general categories of damage to buildings from vibration: 1) threshold cracking;
2) architectural or minor damage; and 3) major damage. Both "threshold" and "minor" damage include
cracks in room interior surfaces that do not affect the strength or structural integrity of the structure.
The term "threshold cracking" is defined as the highest vibration amplitude at which no cosmetic,
minor, or major damage occurs. This may include "threshold cracks" as hairline cracks in room walls
that occur at the lowest vibration amplitudes. Based on the AASHTO guidelines, a threshold damage
criterion of 0.5 inches per second PPV is appropriate to evaluate vibration impacts by transient and
irregular sources. This threshold is applied in this analysis for transient vibration.
The closest project structures on -site (Lot 1) could be located as little as 10 feet from an existing
residential building. Maximum vibration levels that could be generated by construction equipment
operating at the project boundary are presented in Table 11.

The calculation to determine PPV at a given distance is:
PPVdistance = PPVref *(25 /D)A1.5
Where:
PPVdistance = the peak particle velocity in inches /second of the equipment adjusted for
distance,
PPVref = the reference vibration level in inches /second at 25 feet, and
D = the distance from the equipment to the receiver.
Based on the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) data, vibration velocities from typical heavy
construction equipment operation that would be used during project construction would range from
0.003 to 0.089 inches per second (in /sec) peak particle velocity (PPV) at 25 feet from the source of
activity. At 10 feet from the source activity, vibration velocities would range from 0.012 to 0.352 inches
per second PPV. However, the size and density of the site and limited setback distance to the property
line would not allow for a large bulldozer or loaded truck at the Project boundary. Similarly, a
jackhammer would not likely be used directly at the site - boundary. A small bulldozer could create
levels of up to 0.012 PPV at 10 feet. Therefore, vibration levels associated with operation of heavy
construction equipment at the Project boundary are not expected to exceed the 0.5 inches per second
PPV threshold for cosmetic damage from transient vibration. There is no significant impact and no
need for mitigation.
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project? (Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation
Incorporated)
There will be short-term increases in ambient noise levels above levels existing without the Project due
to construction activities at the site. However, these temporary increases can be mitigated by limiting
the hours of construction in accordance with City regulations. Mitigation is presented in Item 12.a).
The Project site is also exposed to traffic noise from 17" Street and the rear alley. Noise measurements
demonstrated a CNEL of 52 dB CNEL along the 17'x' Street alignment. Although traffic may increase in
the future, the area is mostly built out with only smaller infill projects planned. It would take a
doubling of traffic volume to create a +3 dB increase in noise due to the logarithmic nature of noise.
Therefore, even if traffic along 17 " Street were to double, there still would not be an impediment to
the proposed residential uses.

In addition to meeting the exterior noise compatibility standard the residences must also be able to
achieve the 45 dB CNEL interior noise threshold. For typical wood - framed construction with stucco and
gypsum board wall assemblies, the exterior to interior noise level reduction is as follows:
Partly open windows —12 dB
Closed single -paned windows — 20 dB
Closed dual -paned windows — 30 dB
Use of dual -paned windows is required by the California Building Code (CBC) for energy conservation in
new residential construction. Interior standards will be met even with open windows. There is no need
for mitigation to achieve the suggested 45 dB CNEL interior noise threshold.
HVAC Equipment
Section 7.15.035 of the Municipal Code contains the following HVAC noise restrictions:
A. No building permit shall be issued for the installation of heating, venting and air
conditioning ( "HVAC") equipment in or adjacent to residential areas if the noise produced
by the HVAC equipment exceeds an A- weighted exterior sound pressure level of 50 db(A).
The method of computation used shall be that specified in the "Application of Sound Rating
Levels of Outdoor Unitary Equipment," Standard 275, Air- Conditioning and Refrigeration
Institute, 1997 ed. or the latest revision thereof.
B. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a building permit may be issued for the
installation of:
HVAC equipment containing a timing device deactivating the HVAC equipment
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. provided the noise produced by the
HVAC equipment does not exceed an A- weighted exterior sound pressure level of 55
db(A).
2. HVAC equipment generating noise that does not exceed an A- weighted exterior
sound pressure level of 65 db(A), provided that the applicant obtains the prior
written consent of the owner of each property where the exterior sound pressure
level would exceed 55 db(A). (Ord. 1551; Ord. 1515).
Proposed HVAC equipment for the new residential buildings must meet these noise thresholds at the
nearest property line.
The following mitigation measure is proposed to assure that HVAC equipment associated with the
Project on 17' Street is compatible with City Code and neighborhood noise sensitivity.
Mitigation Measure 8 —The applicant shall submit documentation to the City of Seal Beach that
any HVAC equipment installed on the proposed residential structures meets the
requirements of Section 7.15.035 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code and that either a
timing device has been placed on the equipment or the applicant has obtained prior
written consent from each adjacent property owner where the exterior sound pressure
level would exceed 55 db(A). (Ord. 1551; Ord. 1515).

With implementation of this mitigation measure, any impact from HVAC equipment on the new
residential structures should be reduced to a less than significant level.
Site Operational Noise
The Project proposes residential uses. Residential noise is considered passive and is not expected to
create a noise nuisance for any existing surrounding residential uses. Therefore, there will not be a
substantial increase in ambient noise levels above the existing environment without the Project.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose
people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Impact)
The Project is located within an airport environs land use plan for the Los Alamitos Joint Forces
Training Center. However, the land use designation in this area relates to building height, and there
will be no impact and to no people working at the Project site who will be exposed to excessive noise
levels from aircraft.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people
residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (No Impact)
The Project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip nor would the Project expose people
to excessive noise levels. Therefore, there are no Project impacts associated with a private airstrip.
13. Population and Housing
The Population and Housing section considers the impact of the proposed Project on population
growth within the Project area and whether the Project would displace substantial numbers of people
necessitating construction of new housing elsewhere.
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)? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project consists of consolidation of lots leading to construction of four residential dwelling units at
232 through 244 17`h Street in the City of Seal Beach. The Project would not induce substantial
population growth in the Project area.
No new or unanticipated significant infrastructure will be required for the Project. Therefore, due to
the limited nature of the Project it is not anticipated that the Project will induce substantial population
growth in the area, either directly or indirectly. Impact to this area is, therefore, less than significant.
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere? (No Impact)
The Project proposes to remove an existing duplex on the Project site, which will be replaced by four
new residential units. Therefore, the Project will not displace substantial numbers of existing housing.

c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere? (No Impact)
See response to Item 13.b) above. The Project will not result in the displacement of substantial
numbers of people and /or housing. The Project will not displace substantial numbers of people,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing.
14. Public Services
The Public Services section of the document evaluates the impact of the proposed Project on public
services provided by the City of Seal Beach or other agencies.
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the
provision of new or physically altered government facilities, need for new or physically
altered government 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 public services:
Fire protection? (No Impact)
The Orange County Fire Authority provides fire protection and emergency response services for the
City. Response times to the Project site are dependent on various factors. Response time is generally
5 minutes or less. Emergency calls receive the quickest response times with alarm calls and non -
emergency calls having longer response times respectively. The availability of personnel and
extenuating circumstances may further affect response times. The closest fire station to the property is
located at 718 Central Avenue in Seal Beach, about one -half mile from the Project site in the
downtown. The proposed Project will not result in any potential significant increase in the number of
calls for service to the area beyond that anticipated per the build out of the City's General Plan.
Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed Project will result in any significant impacts relative to
fire protection services and /or facilities.
H. Police protection? (No Impact)
The City of Seal Beach Police Department provides law enforcement services to the Project area. The
Project involves consolidation of parcels at 232 through 244 171h Street in the City of Seal Beach. The
improvements are not anticipated to result in an increase in calls for service beyond that anticipated in
the City of Seal Beach General Plan. Therefore, there are no impacts from the Project.
iii. Schools? (No Impact)
The Project involves consolidation of parcels at 232 through 244 17th Street in the City of Seal Beach.
The Project would not increase students in the area. The Project would minimally affect school
population. Therefore, the Project is not anticipated to have an impact on schools.
iv. Parks? (No Impact)
The Project involves consolidation of parcels leading to the construction of four new residential units.
The improvements will not necessitate new park requirements or impact park facilities in the City.
Therefore, the Project will have no impact on park facilities.
42
Initial Study and 232 through 244 17th Street

V. Other public facilities? (No Impact)
See above responses under Public Services. Due to the type of Project, it is not anticipated that the
Project will have any significant impact on public services and /or facilities.
15. Recreation
The Recreation section analyzes whether the proposed Project would trigger the need for additional
recreational facilities within the community. The section also evaluates the impact on use of existing
neighborhood or regional parks.
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur
or be accelerated? (No Impact)
The proposed Project consists of consolidating parcels in preparation for the development of four new
residential units at 232 through 244 17th Street in the city of Seal Beach. It is not anticipated that the
Project will have any impacts on recreation beyond that already projected for build out of the City per
the General Plan. Additionally, the Project is ultimately only four new residential units and would not
be expected to significantly increase usage of existing neighborhood and regional parks. Therefore, no
impacts to park facilities will occur as a result of this Project.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction of or expansion of
recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (No
Impact)
See response to Item 15.a) above. It is not anticipated that the Project will result in any significant
impacts to recreational facilities.
16. Transportation /Traffic
The Transportation/Traffic section of the environmental document evaluates whether the Project
creates conflicts with the effectiveness of the existing transportation network, any congestion
management plan, or creates any design flaws that would substantially increase transportation
hazards.
Would the Project:
a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness
for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of
transportation including mass transit and non - motorized travel and relevant components of
the circulation system including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and
freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project involves the consolidation of several parcels in anticipation of development of four new
residential units at 232 through 244 17`h Street in the City of Seal Beach. The Project area is a
residential neighborhood and the Project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation and
Zoning on the properties. There are no applicable plans, ordinances, or policies establishing measures
of effectiveness for the circulation system with which this Project would conflict.
Therefore, less than significant impacts are anticipated from this Project affecting the circulation
system or any modes of transportation.
43
Initial Study and 232 through 24417`1 Street

b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to
level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by
the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? (Less Than
Significant Impact)
See response to Item 16.a) above. The Orange County Transportation Authority is the designated
Congestion Management Agency for Orange County. The Congestion Management Program network
includes State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) in the City of Seal Beach. The proposed Project will not
impact levels of services standards established by the Congestion Management Agency for Pacific
Coast Highway. Therefore, less than significant impacts would result due to the implementation of the
Project.
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a
change in location that results in substantial safety risks? (No Impact)
See response to Item 16.a) above for analysis. Additionally, the Project does not have any impact on
existing and /or planned air traffic (or safety risks) because it is under the height limit restriction
imposed by its proximity to Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Facility. Therefore, there are no impacts
that would trigger a change in air traffic patterns.
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? (No Impact)
See response to Item 16.a) above. The Project does not propose any design features relative to curves,
intersections, or incompatible uses.
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? (No Impact)
See response to Item 16.a) above. The Project does not propose to change any emergency access in
the City of Seal Beach. Therefore, no significant impacts regarding emergency access are anticipated as
a result of the Project.
Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or
pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? (No
Impact)
See response to Item 16.a) above. The proposed Project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans or
programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities or otherwise decrease the
performance or safety of such facilities.
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides public transportation services in Orange
County, including Seal Beach. Bus routes (OCTA Bus Route 1) operate along State Route 1 (Pacific Coast
Highway) and (Route 42A) operate along Seal Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway /Downtown.
The Project is not expected to negatively impact any current facility, service or service expansion plans
for the Project area and /or site. Therefore, the Project will not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or
programs supporting alternative transportation.
17. Utilities and Service Systems
The Utilities and Service Systems section evaluates the proposed Project's impacts on utilities and
provision of municipal waste management services. Specifically, the section analyzes whether the
44
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
232 through 244 17t^ Street
City of Seal Beach
proposed Project would trigger the need for additional facilities or whether capacity exists to support
the Project.
Would the Project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality
Control Board? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project is not anticipated to produce any significant wastewater since it is a consolidation of
several parcels in anticipation of the construction of four new residential units. Any impacts of the four
residential units are covered by the buildout capacity of the City of Seal Beach General Plan, which
projected capacity to handle development within Zoning and General Plan designations. Therefore, it is
not anticipated that the proposal will result in any significant impact relative to wastewater or
treatment requirements.
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental effects? (No Impact)
See response to Item 17.a) above. The Project will not result in the significant alteration or expansion
of existing utility and service systems since the site is proposed for development of four residential
units that would replace a duplex on the property slated for demolition as part of the Project. The
Project does not create any additional burden on these facilities that would require construction or
new or expanded facilities. Therefore, the Project will have no impact on existing new water or
wastewater treatment facilities.
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
(Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project involves consolidation of several parcels at 232 through 244 17th Street in anticipation of
developing four new residential units on a property that currently includes a triplex. The proposed
Project is not expected to generate significant storm water due to the minimal change in the
property's imperious surfaces. The Project will include reconstruction of catch basins and connector
pipes, but would not expand existing off -site facilities. The properties drain to the alley behind the
properties and then drain to Landing Avenue and the local storm drain system. Therefore, the Project
will result in less than significant impacts to the storm water drainage facilities.
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? (No Impact)
See response to Item 17.a) above. Water is supplied to the City of Seal Beach through the Municipal
Water District of Orange County by imported water sources purchased from the Metropolitan Water
District. The Project proposes only improvements to an existing residentially -zoned property. The
Project does not represent any development that would significantly increase water use. The Project
will comply with all applicable city, state and municipal laws pertaining to water conservation as
required through City standard conditions of approval. Therefore, no impacts to this topical area will
occur.
45
Initial Study and 232 through 244 1711 Street
Mitigated Negative Declaration City of Seal Beach
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve
the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition
to the provider's existing commitments? (Less Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item 17.a) above. The Project will not result in any significant impacts to wastewater
treatment.
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid
waste disposal needs? (Less Than Significant Impact)
The Project site is located at 232 through 244 17`h Street in the City of Seal Beach. The Project is not
anticipated to generate significant solid waste since it ultimately proposes four new residential units in
place of an existing duplex slated for demolition. Minor solid waste generated on the site during
construction will be handled through the traditional solid waste collection system in place in the City of
Seal Beach and it is not expected to be significant. Republic Services provides solid waste collection
and recycling services in the City of Seal Beach. Any solid waste generated during Project construction
will be handled according to City solid waste disposal and recycling requirements. Therefore, the
Project itself will not have any significant impact on solid waste disposal.
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (Less
Than Significant Impact)
See response to Item 17.f) above. The Project itself will comply with federal, state and local statutes on
solid waste disposal.
18. Mandatory Findings of Significance
This section includes questions designed to ferret out whether the proposed Project has effects
significant enough to impact the environment negatively. It also addresses the issues of short-term
versus long -term environmental goals and cumulative impacts of proposed projects.
a) Does the project 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 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? (No Impact)
On the basis of the foregoing analysis, the proposed Project does not have the potential to significantly
degrade the quality of the environment. The Project site does not contain any habitat of fish or wildlife
species that would be impacted by the Project. The site is located in an urbanized setting. The
proposed Project consists of consolidation of parcels in anticipation of construction of four new
residential units. The property is currently developed with the existing residences and sidewalks. The
subject property is located in an area developed with existing uses including residential units. The
Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The Project will not impact any sensitive nor
special status habitat and /or wildlife species.
46
Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration
232 through 244 1r Street
City of Seal Beach
b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the
disadvantage of long -term environmental goals? (No Impact)
The site is located in a developed area that already provides infrastructure to support the proposed
Project. There are no long -term environmental goals that would be compromised by the Project. The
Project does not have the potential to achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long -term goals.
c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project 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)? (No Impact)
The Project is a consolidation of parcels at 232 through 244 17th Street in the City of Seal Beach. The
ultimate proposed Project of four new residential units replaces an existing duplex on the property
that will be torn down. The Project does not have impacts that are cumulatively considerable. The
Project is consistent with the zoning on the property.
d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly? (No Impact)
There are no known substantial adverse effects on human beings that would be caused by the
proposed Project. The Project is consistent with the land uses in the Project area and the environ-
mental evaluation has concluded that no adverse significant environmental impacts will result from
the Project.

h) Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later
phases of the Project, and any secondary, support, or off -site features necessary for its
implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary.)
The basic Project consists of a Tentative Tract Map proposed at 232 through 244 17th
Street in the City of Seal Beach. The site is 0.52 acres. The proposed subdivision will
consolidate three existing legal parcels and create five parcels out of existing odd - shaped
lots that included a government -owned diagonal railroad easement through the
properties. There will be four new 28.125- foot -wide lots and one 112.5- foot -wide lot. All
lots are 100 feet deep. The Project site was sold at auction in 2014. The proposed map
contemplates that one single family residential structure will be built on each of four
28.125- foot -wide lots, with the fifth lot to be left as is. An existing triplex will be torn
down, but the larger lot has a structure that will remain.
Surrounding Land Uses and Setting:
Surrounding and nearby land uses to the Project site include residential areas and streets.

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like
the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer
should be explained where it is based on project- specific factors as well as general standards (e.g.,
the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project screening
analysis).
2. All answers must take account the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site,
cumulative as well as project- level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less then significant
with mitigation, or less then significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence then an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Then Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"
to a "Less Than Significant Impact" The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and
briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less then significant level (mitigation measures
from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross - referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process,
an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration, Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable
legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures
based on earlier analysis.
C. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant With Mitigation
Incorporated," describes the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined
from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions
for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources
for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a previously prepared
or outside documents should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. This is only a suggested form, and the lead agencies are free to use different formats; however,
lead agency should normally address the questions from the checklist that are relevant to a
project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b. the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

ATMOSPHERIC SETTING
The project site's climate, as with all Southern California, is dominated by the strength and
position of the semi - permanent high pressure pattern over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. It
creates cool summers, mild winters, and infrequent rainfall. It drives the cool daytime sea
breeze, and it maintains comfortable humidities and ample sunshine after the frequent morning
clouds dissipate. Unfortunately, the same atmospheric processes that create the desirable living
climate combine to restrict the ability of the atmosphere to disperse the air pollution generated by
the large population attracted in part by the desirable climate. Portions of the Los Angeles Basin
therefore experience some of the worst air quality in the nation for certain pollutants.
Temperatures in the City of Seal Beach average 61 degrees annually. Daily and seasonal
oscillations of temperature are small because of the moderating effects of the nearby oceanic
thermal reservoir. In contrast to the steady temperature regime, rainfall is highly variable.
Measurable precipitation occurs mainly from early November to mid - April, but total amounts are
generally small. Seal Beach averages 12 inches of rain annually with January as the wettest
month.
Winds in the project vicinity display several characteristic regimes. During the day, especially in
summer, winds are from the south in the morning and from the west in the afternoon. Daytime
wind speeds are 7 — 9 miles per hour on average. At night, especially in winter, the land
becomes cooler than the ocean, and an off -shore wind of 3 -5 miles per hour develops. Early
morning winds are briefly from the south -east parallel to the coastline before the daytime on-
shore flow becomes well established again. One other important wind regime occurs when high
pressure occurs over the western United States that creates hot, dry and gusty Santa Ana winds
from the north and northeast across Seal Beach.
The net effect of the wind pattern on air pollution is that any locally generated emissions will be
carried offshore at night, and toward inland Orange County by day. Daytime ventilation is much
more vigorous. Unless daytime winds rotate far into the north and bring air pollution from
developed areas of the air basin into Seal Beach, warm season air quality is much better in the
project vicinity than in inland valleys of the air basin. Both summer and winter air quality in the
project area is generally good.
In addition to winds that control the rate and direction of pollution dispersal, Southern California
is notorious for strong temperature inversions that limit the vertical depth through which
pollution can be mixed. In summer, coastal areas are characterized by a sharp discontinuity
between the cool marine air at the surface and the warm, sinking air aloft within the high
pressure cell over the ocean to the west. This marine /subsidence inversion allows for good local
mixing, but acts like a giant lid over the basin. Air starting onshore at the beach is relatively
clean, but becomes progressively more polluted as sources continue to add pollution from below
without any dilution from above. Because of Seal Beach's location relative to the ocean, the
incoming marine air during warm season onshore flow contains little air pollution. Local air
quality is not substantially affected by the regional subsidence inversions.
Seal Brh AQ
A second inversion type forms on clear, winter nights when cold air off the mountains sinks to
the surface while the air aloft remains warm. This process forms radiation inversions. These
inversions, in conjunction with calm winds, trap pollutants such as automobile exhaust near their
source. During the long nocturnal drainage flow from land to sea, the exhaust pollutants
continually accumulate within the shallow, cool layer of air near the ground. Some areas of
Orange County thus may experience elevated levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides
because of this winter radiation inversion condition. However, the coastal areas of Orange
County have not substantially been affected by limited nocturnal mixing effects (no elevated
levels of CO) in approximately 10 years. Both types of inversions occur throughout the year to
some extent, but the marine inversions are very dominant during the day in summer, and
radiation inversions are much stronger on winter nights when nights are long and air is cool. The
governing role of these inversions in atmospheric dispersion leads to a substantially different air
quality environment in summer in the South Coast Air Basin than in winter.

AIR QUALITY SETTING
AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS (AAQS)
In order to gauge the significance of the air quality impacts of the proposed project, those
impacts, together with existing background air quality levels, must be compared to the applicable
ambient air quality standards. These standards are the levels of air quality considered safe, with
an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health and welfare. They are designed to
protect those people most susceptible to further respiratory distress such as asthmatics, the
elderly, very young children, people already weakened by other disease or illness, and persons
engaged in strenuous work or exercise, called "sensitive receptors." Healthy adults can tolerate
occasional exposure to air pollutant concentrations considerably above these minimum standards
before adverse effects are observed. Recent research has shown, however, that chronic exposure
to ozone (the primary ingredient in photochemical smog) may lead to adverse respiratory health
even at concentrations close to the ambient standard.
National AAQS were established in 1971 for six pollution species with states retaining the option
to add other pollutants, require more stringent compliance, or to include different exposure
periods. The initial attainment deadline of 1977 was extended several times in air quality
problem areas like Southern California. In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
adopted a rule, which extended and established a new attainment deadline for ozone for the
year 2021. Because the State of California had established AAQS several years before the
federal action and because of unique air quality problems introduced by the restrictive dispersion
meteorology, there is considerable difference between state and national clean air standards.
Those standards currently in effect in California are shown in Table 1. Sources and health
effects of various pollutants are shown in Table 2.
The Federal Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 required that the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) review all national AAQS in light of currently known health effects.
EPA was charged with modifying existing standards or promulgating new ones where
appropriate. EPA subsequently developed standards for chronic ozone exposure (8+ hours per
day) and for very small diameter particulate matter (called "PM- 2.5 "). New national AAQS
were adopted in 1997 for these pollutants.
Planning and enforcement of the federal standards for PM -2.5 and for ozone (8 -hour) were
challenged by trucking and manufacturing organizations. In a unanimous decision, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled that EPA did not require specific congressional authorization to adopt
national clean air standards. The Court also ruled that health -based standards did not require
preparation of a cost - benefit analysis. The Court did find, however, that there was some
inconsistency between existing and "new" standards in their required attainment schedules. Such
attainment - planning schedule inconsistencies centered mainly on the 8 -hour ozone standard.
EPA subsequently agreed to downgrade the attainment designation for a large number of
communities to "non- attainment" for the 8 -hour ozone standard.

Evaluation of the most current data on the health effects of inhalation of fine particulate matter
prompted the California Air Resources Board (ARB) to recommend adoption of the statewide
PM -2.5 standard that is more stringent than the federal standard. This standard was adopted in
2002. The State PM -2.5 standard is more of a goal in that it does not have specific attainment
planning requirements like a federal clean air standard, but only requires continued progress
towards attainment.
Similarly, the ARB extensively evaluated health effects of ozone exposure. A new state standard
for an 8 -hour ozone exposure was adopted in 2005, which aligned with the exposure period for
the federal 8 -hour standard. The California 8 -hour ozone standard of 0.07 ppm is more stringent
than the federal 8 -hour standard of 0.075 ppm. The state standard, however, does not have a
specific attainment deadline. California air quality jurisdictions are required to make steady
progress towards attaining state standards, but there are no hard deadlines or any consequences
of non - attainment. During the same re- evaluation process, the ARB adopted an annual state
standard for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) that is more stringent than the corresponding federal
standard, and strengthened the state one -hour NO2 standard.
As part of EPA's 2002 consent decree on clean air standards, a further review of airborne
particulate matter (PM) and human health was initiated. A substantial modification of federal
clean air standards for PM was promulgated in 2006. Standards for PM -2.5 were strengthened, a
new class of PM in the 2.5 to 10 micron size was created, some PM -10 standards were revoked,
and a distinction between rural and urban air quality was adopted. In December, 2012, the
federal annual standard for PM -2.5 was reduced from 15 µg/m3 to 12 µg/m3 which matches the
California AAQS. The severity of the basin's non - attainment status for PM -2.5 may be increased
by this action and thus require accelerated planning for future PM -2.5 attainment.
In response to continuing evidence that ozone exposure at levels just meeting federal clean air
standards is demonstrably unhealthful, EPA had proposed a further strengthening of the 8 -hour
standard. A new 8 -hour ozone standard was adopted in 2015 after extensive analysis and public
input. The adopted national 8 -hour ozone standard is 0.07 ppm which matches the current
California standard. It will require three years of ambient data collection, then 2 years of non -
attainment findings and planning protocol adoption, then several years of plan development and
approval. Final air quality plans for the new standard are likely to be adopted around 2022.
Ultimate attainment of the new standard in ozone problem areas such as Southern California
might be after 2030.
In 2010 a new federal one -hour primary standard for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was adopted. This
standard is more stringent than the existing state standard. Based upon air quality monitoring
data in the South Coast Air Basin, the California Air Resources Board has requested the EPA to
designate the basin as being in attainment for this standard. The federal standard for sulfur
dioxide (S02) was also recently revised. However, with minimal combustion of coal and
mandatory use of low sulfur fuels in California, S02 is typically not a problem pollutant.

BASELINE AIR QUALITY
Existing and probable future levels of air quality around the project area can best be best inferred
from ambient air quality measurements conducted by the SCAQMD at the Anaheim monitoring
station. This station measures both regional pollution levels such as smog, as well as primary
vehicular pollution levels near busy roadways such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
Pollutants such as particulates (PM -10 and PM -2.5) are also monitored at Anaheim. Because of
proximity to the ocean with clean on -shore flow, Seal Beach air quality may be slightly better
than Anaheim. Given the small number of violations of clean air standards at Anaheim, the
number at Seal Beach is close to zero. Table 3 is a 6 -year summary of monitoring data for the
major air pollutants compiled from this air monitoring station. From this data the following
conclusions regarding air quality trends can be drawn:
a. Photochemical smog (ozone) levels occasionally exceed standards. All state and federal
ozone standards have been exceeded I percent or less of all days in the past six years.
Measurements from more recent years demonstrate progressively improved ozone levels
in the area except perhaps for some temporary "backsliding" in 2014. While ozone levels
are still occasionally elevated, they are much lower than 10 to 20 years ago.
b. Respirable dust (PM -10) levels occasionally exceed the state standard on approximately
two percent of measured days. The less stringent federal PM -10 standard has not been
exceeded in the last six years.
c. The federal ultra -fine particulate (PM -2.5) standard of 35 µg /m3 has been exceeded on
less than one percent of measurement days in the last six years.
d. More localized pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. are very low
near the project site. There is substantial excess dispersive capacity to accommodate
localized vehicular air pollutants such as NOx or CO without any threat of violating
applicable AAQS. Data from a recent "near roadway' monitoring study directly along the
1 -5 shoulder (<50 feet) in Anaheim showed noticeably elevated levels of NOx and CO,
but even at this close distance federal clean air standards were not exceeded.
Although complete attainment of every clean air standard is not yet imminent, extrapolation of
the steady improvement trend suggests that such attainment could occur within the reasonably
near future.

AIR QUALITY PLANNING
The Federal Clean Air Act (1977 Amendments) required that designated agencies in any area of
the nation not meeting national clean air standards must prepare a plan demonstrating the steps
that would bring the area into compliance with all national standards. The SCAB could not meet
the deadlines for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, or PM -10. In the SCAB, the
agencies designated by the governor to develop regional air quality plans are the SCAQMD and
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The two agencies first adopted an
Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) in 1979 and revised it several times as earlier attainment
forecasts were shown to be overly optimistic.
The 1990 Federal Clean Air Act Amendment (CAAA) required that all states with air -sheds with
"serious" or worse ozone problems submit a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP).
Amendments to the SIP have been proposed, revised and approved over the past decade. The
most current regional attainment emissions forecast for ozone precursors (ROG and NOx) and
for carbon monoxide (CO) and for particulate matter are shown in Table 4. Substantial
reductions in emissions of ROG, NOx and CO are forecast to continue throughout the next
several decades. Unless new particulate control programs are implemented, PM -10 and PM -2.5
are forecast to slightly increase.
The Air Quality Management District (AQMD) adopted an updated clean air "blueprint' in
August 2003. The 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) was approved by the EPA in
2004. The AQMP outlined the air pollution measures needed to meet federal health -based
standards for ozone by 2010 and for particulates (PM -10) by 2006. The 2003 AQMP was based
upon the federal one -hour ozone standard which was revoked late in 2005 and replaced by an 8-
hour federal standard. Because of the revocation of the hourly standard, a new air quality
planning cycle was initiated.
With re- designation of the air basin as non - attainment for the 8 -hour ozone standard, a new
attainment plan was developed. This plan shifted most of the one -hour ozone standard
attainment strategies to the 8 -hour standard. The attainment date was anticipated to "slip" from
2010 to 2021. The updated attainment plan also includes strategies for ultimately meeting the
federal PM -2.5 standard.
Because projected attainment by 2021 requires control technologies that do not exist yet, the
SCAQMD requested a voluntary "bump -up" from a "severe non - attainment' area to an "extreme
non- attainment' designation for ozone. The extreme designation will allow a longer time period
for these technologies to develop. If attainment cannot be demonstrated within the specified
deadline without relying on "black -box" measures, EPA would have been required to impose
sanctions on the region had the bump -up request not been approved. In April 2010, the EPA
approved the change in the non - attainment designation from "severe -17' to "extreme." This
reclassification sets a later attainment deadline (2024), but also requires the air basin to adopt
even more stringent emissions controls.

In other air quality attainment plan reviews, EPA has disapproved part of the SCAB PM -2.5
attainment plan included in the AQMP. EPA has stated that the current attainment plan relies on
PM -2.5 control regulations that have not yet been approved or implemented. It is expected that a
number of rules that are pending approval will remove the identified deficiencies. If these issues
are not resolved within the next several years, federal funding sanctions for transportation
projects could result. The 2012 AQMP included in the ARB submittal to EPA as part of the
California State Implementation Plan (SIP) is expected to remedy identified PM -2.5 planning
deficiencies.
The federal Clean Air Act requires that non- attainment air basins have EPA approved attainment
plans in place. This requirement includes the federal one -hour ozone standard even though that
standard was revoked almost ten years ago. There was no approved attainment plan for the one -
hour federal standard at the time of revocation. Through a legal quirk, the SCAQMD is now
required to develop an AQMP for the long since revoked one -hour federal ozone standard.
Because the 2012 AQMP contains a number of control measures for the 8 -hour ozone standard
that are equally effective for one -hour levels, the 2012 AQMP is believed to satisfy hourly
attainment planning requirements.
AQMPs are required to be updated every three years. The 2012 AQMP was adopted in early
2013. An updated AQMP must therefore be adopted in 2016. Planning for the 2016 AQMP is
currently on- going. The current attainment deadlines for all federal non - attainment pollutants are
now as follows:
Seal &h AQ
8 -hour ozone (70 ppb)
Annual PM -2.5 (12 pg/m3)
8 -hour ozone (80 ppb)
8 -hour ozone (75 ppb)
I -hour ozone (120 ppb)
24 -hour PM -2.5 (35 pg/m')
2037
2025
2024 (old standard)
2032 (current standard)
2032 (rescinded standard)
2019
The key challenge is that NOx emission levels, as a critical ozone precursor pollutant, are
forecast to continue to exceed the levels that would allow the above deadlines to be met. Unless
additional NOx control measures are adopted and implemented, attainment goals may not be
met.
The proposed project does not directly relate to the AQMP in that there are no specific air quality
programs or regulations governing residential projects. Conformity with adopted plans, forecasts
and programs relative to population, housing, employment and land use is the primary yardstick
by which impact significance of planned growth is determined. The SCAQMD, however, while
acknowledging that the AQMP is a growth- accommodating document, does not favor
designating regional impacts as less- than - significant just because the proposed development is
consistent with regional growth projections. Air quality impact significance for the proposed
project has therefore been analyzed on a project - specific basis.

AIR QUALITY IMPACT
STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Air quality impacts are considered "significant" if they cause clean air standards to be violated
where they are currently met, or if they "substantially' contribute to an existing violation of
standards. Any substantial emissions of air contaminants for which there is no safe exposure, or
nuisance emissions such as dust or odors, would also be considered a significant impact.
Appendix G of the California CEQA Guidelines offers the following five tests of air quality
impact significance. A project would have a potentially significant impact if it:
a. Conflicts with or obstructs implementation of the applicable air quality plan.
b. Violates any air quality standard or contributes substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation.
c. Results in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutants for which the
project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors).
d. Exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.
e. Creates objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.
Primary Pollutants
Air quality impacts generally occur on two scales of motion. Near an individual source of
emissions or a collection of sources such as a crowded intersection or parking lot, levels of those
pollutants that are emitted in their already unhealthful form will be highest. Carbon monoxide
(CO) is an example of such a pollutant. Primary pollutant impacts can generally be evaluated
directly in comparison to appropriate clean air standards. Violations of these standards where
they are currently met, or a measurable worsening of an existing or future violation, would be
considered a significant impact. Many particulates, especially fugitive dust emissions, are also
primary pollutants. Because of the non - attainment status of the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB)
for PM -10, an aggressive dust control program is required to control fugitive dust during project
construction.
Secondary Pollutants
Many pollutants, however, require time to transform from a more benign form to a more
unhealthful contaminant. Their impact occurs regionally far from the source. Their incremental
regional impact is minute on an individual basis and cannot be quantified except through
complex photochemical computer models. Analysis of significance of such emissions is based
Seal Bcn,W
13 -
upon a specified amount of emissions (pounds, tons, etc.) even though there is no way to
translate those emissions directly into a corresponding ambient air quality impact.
Because of the chemical complexity of primary versus secondary pollutants, the SCAQMD has
designated significant emissions levels as surrogates for evaluating regional air quality impact
significance independent of chemical transformation processes. Projects with daily emissions
that exceed any of the following emission thresholds are recommended by the SCAQMD to be
considered significant under CEQA guidelines.

Additional Indicators
In its CEQA Handbook, the SCAQMD also states that additional indicators should be used as
screening criteria to determine the need for further analysis with respect to air quality. The
additional indicators are as follows:
• Project could interfere with the attainment of the federal or state ambient air quality
standards by either violating or contributing to an existing or projected air quality
violation
• Project could result in population increases within the regional statistical area which
would be in excess of that projected in the AQMP and in other than planned locations for
the project's build -out year.
• Project could generate vehicle trips that cause a CO hot spot.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY IMPACTS
CaIEEMod was developed by the SCAQMD to provide a model by which to calculate both
construction emissions and operational emissions from a variety of land use projects. It
calculates both the daily maximum and annual average emissions for criteria pollutants as well as
total or annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Although exhaust emissions will result from on and off -site equipment, the exact types and
numbers of equipment will vary among contractors such that such emissions cannot be
quantified with certainty. Estimated construction emissions were modeled using
CaIEEMod2013.2.2 to identify maximum daily emissions for each pollutant during project
construction.
The proposed project entails construction of 4 single family homes and demolition of a 1,696 sf
duplex. Construction was modeled in CalEEMOd2013.2.2 using default construction equipment
and schedule for a project of this size as shown in Table 6.

Peak daily construction activity emissions are estimated to be below SCAQMD CEQA
thresholds without the need for added mitigation.
Construction equipment exhaust contains carcinogenic compounds within the diesel exhaust
particulates. The toxicity of diesel exhaust is evaluated relative to a 24 -hour per day, 365 days
per year, 70 -year lifetime exposure. The SCAQMD does not generally require the analysis of
construction - related diesel emissions relative to health risk due to the short period for which the
majority of diesel exhaust would occur. Health risk analyses are typically assessed over a 9 -, 30 -,
or 70 -year timeframe and not over a relatively brief construction period due to the lack of health
risk associated with such a brief exposure.
LOCALIZED SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS
The SCAQMD has developed analysis parameters to evaluate ambient air quality on a local level
in addition to the more regional emissions -based thresholds of significance. These analysis
elements are called Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs). LSTs were developed in
response to Governing Board's Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative 1-4 and the LST
methodology was provisionally adopted in October 2003 and formally approved by SCAQMD's
Mobile Source Committee in February 2005.
Use of an LST analysis for a project is optional. For the proposed project, the primary source of
possible LST impact would be during construction. LSTs are applicable for a sensitive receptor
where it is possible that an individual could remain for 24 hours such as a residence, hospital or
convalescent facility.
LSTs are only applicable to the following criteria pollutants: oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon
monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM -10 and PM -2.5). LSTs represent the maximum
emissions from a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the
most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard, and are developed based
on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the
nearest sensitive receptor.
LST screening tables are available for 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 meter source - receptor distances.
For this project the nearest sensitive receptors are the residential uses adjacent to the project site
such that the most conservative 25 meter distance was modeled.
The SCAQMD has issued guidance on applying CaIEEMod to LSTs. LST pollutant screening
level concentration data is currently published for I, 2 and 5 acre sites for varying distances. For
this project, the most stringent thresholds for a I acre site were applied.

LSTs were compared to the maximum daily construction activities. As seen above, emissions
will meet the LST for construction thresholds and are less - than - significant without the
application of additional discretionary mitigation.
OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
Operational emissions were calculated using CaIEEMod2013.2.2 for an assumed project build -
out year of 2017 as a target for full occupancy. The project would generate 38 daily weekday
trips, 40 Saturday trips and 35 Sunday trips using default traffic engineering data from
CaIEEMod. All emissions were evaluated as "new" sources without any credit for existing
duplex residents. In addition to mobile sources from vehicles, general development causes
smaller amounts of "area source" air pollution to be generated from on -site energy consumption
(primarily space heating, hot water and landscaping). These sources represent a minimal
percentage of the total project NOx and CO burdens, and a few percent other pollutants. The
inclusion of such emissions adds negligibly to the total significant project - related emissions
burden as shown in Table 9.
Table 9
Daily Operational Impacts
Source: CaIEEMod2013.2.2 Output in Appendix
As seen in Table 9 the project would not cause any operational emissions to exceed their
respective SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds even without any credit for existing on -site
uses. Operational emission impacts are judged to be less than significant. No impact mitigation
for operational activity emissions is considered necessary to support this finding.

CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS MINIMIZATION
Construction activities are not anticipated to cause dust emissions to exceed SCAQMD CEQA
thresholds. Nevertheless, emissions minimization through enhanced dust control measures is
recommended for use because of the non - attainment status of the air basin and proximity to
existing residential uses. Recommended measures include:
Fugitive Dust Control
• Apply soil stabilizers or moisten inactive areas.
• Water exposed surfaces as needed to avoid visible dust leaving the construction site
(typically 2 -3 times /day).
• Cover all stock piles with tarps at the end of each day or as needed.
• Provide water spray during loading and unloading of earthen materials.
• Minimize in -out traffic from construction zone
• Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, or loose material and require all trucks to maintain at
least two feet of freeboard
• Sweep streets daily if visible soil material is carried out from the construction site
Similarly, ozone precursor emissions (ROG and NOx) are calculated to be below SCAQMD
CEQA thresholds. However, because of the regional non - attainment for photochemical smog, the
use of reasonably available control measures for diesel exhaust is recommended. Combustion
emissions control options include:
Exhaust Emissions Control
• Utilize well -tuned off -road construction equipment.
• Establish a preference for contractors using Tier 3 or better rated heavy equipment.
• Enforce 5- minute idling limits for both on -road trucks and off -road equipment.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
"Greenhouse gases" (so called because of their role in trapping heat near the surface of the earth)
emitted by human activity are implicated in global climate change, commonly referred to as
"global warming." These greenhouse gases contribute to an increase in the temperature of the
earth's atmosphere by transparency to short wavelength visible sunlight, but near opacity to
outgoing terrestrial long wavelength heat radiation in some parts of the infrared spectrum. The
principal greenhouse gases (GHGs) are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water
vapor. For purposes of planning and regulation, Section 15364.5 of the California Code of
Regulations defines GHGs to include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. Fossil fuel consumption in the
transportation sector (on -road motor vehicles, off - highway mobile sources, and aircraft) is the
single largest source of GHG emissions, accounting for approximately half of GHG emissions
globally. Industrial and commercial sources are the second largest contributors of GFIG
emissions with about one -fourth of total emissions.
California has passed several bills and the Governor has signed at least three executive orders
regarding greenhouse gases. GHG statues and executive orders (EO) include AB 32, SB 1368,
EO S- 03 -05, EO S -20 -06 and EO S- 01 -07.
AB 32 is one of the most significant pieces of environmental legislation that California has
adopted. Among other things, it is designed to maintain California's reputation as a "national
and international leader on energy conservation and environmental stewardship." It will have
wide - ranging effects on California businesses and lifestyles as well as far reaching effects on
other states and countries. A unique aspect of AB 32, beyond its broad and wide - ranging
mandatory provisions and dramatic GHG reductions are the short time frames within which it
must be implemented. Major components of the AB 32 include:
• Require the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions beginning with sources or
categories of sources that contribute the most to statewide emissions.
• Requires immediate "early action" control programs on the most readily controlled GHG
sources.
• Mandates that by 2020, California's GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels.
• Forces an overall reduction of GHG gases in California by 25 -40 %, from business as
usual, to be achieved by 2020.
• Must complement efforts to achieve and maintain federal and state ambient air quality
standards and to reduce toxic air contaminants.
Statewide, the framework for developing the implementing regulations for AB 32 is under way.
Maximum GHG reductions are expected to derive from increased vehicle fuel efficiency, from
greater use of renewable energy and from increased structural energy efficiency. Additionally,
through the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR now called the Climate Action Reserve),
general and industry - specific protocols for assessing and reporting GHG emissions have been
Scal Bch AQ
developed. GHG sources are categorized into direct sources (i.e. company owned) and indirect
sources (i.e. not company owned). Direct sources include combustion emissions from on -and
off -road mobile sources, and fugitive emissions. Indirect sources include off -site electricity
generation and non - company owned mobile sources.
THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
In response to the requirements of SB97, the State Resources Agency developed guidelines for
the treatment of GHG emissions under CEQA. These new guidelines became state laws as part
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in March, 2010. The CEQA Appendix G
guidelines were modified to include GHG as a required analysis element. A project would have
a potentially significant impact if it:
• Generates GHG emissions, directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on
the environment, or,
• Conflicts with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted to reduce GHG emissions.
Section 15064.4 of the Code specifies how significance of GHG emissions is to be evaluated.
The process is broken down into quantification of project - related GHG emissions, making a
determination of significance, and specification of any appropriate mitigation if impacts are
found to be potentially significant. At each of these steps, the new GHG guidelines afford the
lead agency with substantial Flexibility.
Emissions identification may be quantitative, qualitative or based on performance standards.
CEQA guidelines allow the lead agency to "select the model or methodology it considers most
appropriate." The most common practice for transportation /combustion GHG emissions
quantification is to use a computer model such as CalEEMod, as was used in the ensuing
analysis.
The significance of those emissions then must be evaluated; the selection of a threshold of
significance must take into consideration what level of GHG emissions would be cumulatively
considerable. The guidelines are clear that they do not support a zero net emissions threshold. If
the lead agency does not have sufficient expertise in evaluating GHG impacts, it may rely on
thresholds adopted by an agency with greater expertise.
On December 5, 2008 the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted an Interim quantitative GHG
Significance Threshold for industrial projects where the SCAQMD is the lead agency (e.g.,
stationary source permit projects, rules, plans, etc.) of 10,000 Metric Tons (MT) CO2
equivalent/year CO2e. In September 2010, the SCAQMD CEQA Significance Thresholds GHG
Working Group released revisions which recommended a threshold of 3,000 MT CO2e for all
land use projects. This 3,000 MT /year recommendation has been used as a guideline for this
analysis. In the absence of an adopted numerical threshold of significance, project related GHG
emissions in excess of the guideline level are presumed to trigger a requirement for enhanced
GHG reduction at the project level.

PROJECT RELATED GHG EMISSIONS GENERATION
Construction Activity GHG Emissions
The project is assumed to require less than one year for construction. During project
construction, the CalEEMod20l3.2.2 computer model predicts that the construction activities
will generate the annual CO2e emissions identified in Table 10.
Table 10
Construction Emissions (Metric Tons CO2e)
CaIEEMod Output provided in appendix
SCAQMD GHG emissions policy from construction activities is to amortize emissions over a
30 -year lifetime. The amortized level is also provided. GHG impacts from construction are
considered individually less- than - significant.
Project Operational GHG Emissions
The input assumptions for operational GHG emissions calculations, and the GHG conversion
from consumption to annual regional CO2e emissions are summarized in the CaIEEMod2013.2.2
output files found in the appendix of this report. As with the criteria air pollution calculations no
GHG emissions credit was taken for any displaced duplex residents.
The total operational and annualized construction emissions for the proposed project are
identified in Table 11.

Suf B6 np
Total project GHG emissions would be substantially below the proposed significance threshold
of 3,000 MT suggested by the SCAQMD. Hence, the project would not result in generation of a
significant level of greenhouse gases.
CONSISTENCY WITH GHG PLANS, PROGRAMS AND POLICIES
The City of Seal Beach has not yet developed a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. The applicable
GHG planning document is AB -32. As discussed above, the project is not expected to result in a
significant increase in GHG emissions. As a result, the project results in GHG emissions below
the recommended SCAQMD 3,000 ton threshold. Therefore, the project would not conflict with
any applicable plan, policy, or regulation to reduce GHG emissions.

NOISE SETTING
Sound is mechanical energy transmitted by pressure waves in a compressible medium such as
air. Noise is generally considered to be unwanted sound. Sound is characterized by various
parameters that describe the rate of oscillation of sound waves, the distance between successive
troughs or crests, the speed of propagation, and the pressure level or energy content of a given
sound. In particular, the sound pressure level has become the most common descriptor used to
characterize the loudness of an ambient sound level.
Loud or soft, noisy or quiet, high- and -low pitch are all qualitative terms used to describe sound.
These terms are relative descriptions. The science of acoustics attempts to quantify the human
perception of sound into a quantitative and measurable basis. Amplitude is the measure of the
pressure exerted by sound waves. Amplitude may be so small as to be inaudible by humans, or
so great as to be painful. Frequency refers to pitch or tone. The unit of measure is in cycles per
second called "hertz'. Very low frequency bass tones and ultra -high frequency treble are
difficult for humans to detect. Many noise generators in the ambient world are multi - spectral.
The decibel (dB) scale is used to quantify sound pressure levels. Although decibels are most
commonly associated with sound, "dB" is a generic descriptor that is equal to ten times the
logarithmic ratio of any physical parameter versus some reference quantity. For sound, the
reference level is the faintest sound detectable by a young person with good auditory acuity.
Since the human ear is not equally sensitive to all sound frequencies within the entire auditory
spectrum, human response is factored into sound descriptions by weighting sounds within the
range of maximum human sensitivity more heavily in a process called "A- weighting," written as
dB(A). Any further reference in this discussion to decibels written as "dB" should be understood
to be A- weighted.
Leq is a time - averaged sound level; a single- number value that expresses the time - varying sound
level for the specified period as though it were a constant sound level with the same total sound
energy as the time - varying level. Its unit is the decibel (dB). The most common averaging
period for Leq is hourly.
Because community receptors are more sensitive to unwanted noise intrusion during more
sensitive evening and nighttime hours, state law requires that an artificial dBA increment be
added to quiet time noise levels. The 24 -hour noise descriptor with a specified evening and
nocturnal penalty is called the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). CNEL's are a
weighted average of hourly Leq's.
PLANNING STANDARDS
The City of Seal Beach has established guidelines for acceptable community noise levels that are
based upon the CNEL rating scale to insure that noise exposure is considered in any
development. CNEL -based standards apply to noise sources whose noise generation is
preempted from local control (such as from on -road vehicles, trains, airplanes, etc.) and are used
to make land use decisions as to the suitability of a given site for its intended use. These CNEL-
based standards are articulated in the Noise Element of the General Plan.
Figure I shows the noise compatibility guidelines for various uses. These guidelines would apply
in usable outdoor space such as patios, yards, spas, etc. The guidelines indicate that an exterior
noise level of 60 dB CNEL is considered to be a "normally acceptable" noise level for single
family, duplex and mobile homes involving normal conventional construction, without any
special noise insulation requirements. Exterior noise levels up to 65 dB CNEL are typically
considered "conditionally acceptable ", and residential construction should only occur after a
detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements is made and needed noise attenuation
features are included in the project design. Exterior noise attenuation features include, but are not
limited to, setbacks to place structures outside the conditionally acceptable noise contour,
orienting structures so no windows open to the noise source, and /or installing noise barriers such
as berms or solid walls.
An interior CNEL of 45 dB is mandated by the State of California Noise Insulation Standards
(CCR, Title 24, Part 6, Section T25 -28) for multiple family dwellings and hotel and motel
rooms. In 1988, the State Building Standards Commission expanded that standard to include all
habitable rooms in residential use, included single - family dwelling units. Since normal noise
attenuation within residential structures with closed windows is 20 -30 dB, an exterior noise
exposure of 65 -75 dB CNEL allows the interior standard to be met without any specialized
structural attenuation (dual paned windows, etc.), but with closed windows and fresh air supply
systems or air conditioning in order to maintain a comfortable living environment.
The City of Seal Beach limits construction activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00
p.m., Mondays through Friday, and the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and never
on Sundays or city- observed federal holidays. Construction activities that occur during allowable
hours are exempt from compliance with numerical noise standards.

NOISE ORDINANCE STANDARDS
Planning standards generally apply to land use decisions made in response to noise sources pre-
empted from local control such as motor vehicles, aircraft, etc. Noises from "stationary" sources
are amenable to regulation through the Municipal Code. Chapter 7.15 of the City's code governs
noise from one property crossing the property line of an adjacent property. The residential noise
standard is 55 dB by day and 50 dB at night for no more than 30 minutes in any hour. Deviations
from the baseline are allowed for noise "spikes" for progressively shorter periods for more
substantial deviations up to a maximum of 20 dB.
Seal Beach experiences two types of noise issues. In areas where residential uses abut
commercial or recreational activities, noise impacts may be perceived as intrusive, especially
during noise sensitive quiet hours. Complaints about restaurant music, swim school, auto -
maintenance, drive - throughs, etc. may occur. There are no commercial /residential interfaces at
the project -site. Because of the small lot sizes in much of Seal Beach, mechanical equipment on
one parcel may be located very close to the property line of an adjacent residential parcel. Motor
hum and on /off cycling noise can be judged as intrusive. In recognition of this occasional
conflict, a separate section of the Municipal Code directly address "Heating, Venting and Air
Conditioning Equipment" (7.15.035). Modern equipment is typically quieter and less prone to
causing problems. Compliance with the standards in this section of the code is nevertheless an
important consideration in preventing possible noise nuisance.
BASELINE NOISE LEVELS
A noise study was conducted by Giroux & Associates on Monday, August 2, 2016 with short
term noise readings at the project site. Meter I was located along 17`h Street and reflects existing
traffic noise. Meter 2 was on the back of the site adjacent to the Alley. The measurement results
are shown below.

The observed noise level was 49 Leq at Meter I. Monitoring experience has shown that 24 -hour
weighted CNELs are typically 2 -3 dB higher than mid - afternoon Leq readings shown above
which would translate to 51 -53 dB CNEL. The observed noise level was 52 dB Leq at Meter 2
which would correspond with a CNEL of 54 -55. Both measurements are well within the
recommended Seal Beach residential compatibility threshold.

NOISE IMPACTS
NOISE SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
Noise impacts are considered significant if they result in:
a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies.
b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundbome
noise levels.
c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project.
d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project.
STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Noise impacts are considered significant if they expose persons to levels in excess of standards
established in local general plans or noise ordinances. The exterior noise standard for the City of
Seal Beach residential uses is 65 dBA CNEL in usable outdoor space such as backyards, decks,
patios, etc. If required, attenuation through setback and project perimeter barriers is anticipated
to be used to reduce traffic noise to the 65 dBA CNEL goal. However, an inability to achieve
this goal through the application of reasonably available mitigation measures would be
considered a significant impact.
Impacts may also be significant if they create either a substantial permanent or temporary
increase. The term "substantial' is not quantified in CEQA guidelines. In most environmental
analyses, "substantial" is taken to mean a level that is clearly perceptible to humans. In practice,
this is at least a +3 dB increase. Some agencies, such as Caltrans, require substantial increases to
be +10 dB or more if noise standards are not exceeded by the increase. For purposes of this
analysis, a +3 dB increase is considered a substantial increase. The following noise impacts due
to project - related traffic would be considered significant:
1. If construction activities were to audibly intrude into adjacent uses surrounding the site.
2. If project traffic noise were to cause an increase by a perceptible amount ( +3 dB
CNEL) or expose receivers to levels exceeding city compatibility noise standards.
If future build -out noise levels were to expose Seal Beach sensitive receivers to levels
exceeding compatibility standards of 65 dB CNEL exterior at any outdoor uses or 45 dB
CNEL interior noise levels in any habitable space.

CONSTRUCTION NOISE SIGNIFICANCE
The Seal Beach Noise Ordinance regulates construction noise by a prohibition against making
`'unnecessary" noise from construction during noise - sensitive weekday hours and all day on
Sundays.
CONSTRUCTION NOISE IMPACTS
Temporary construction noise impacts vary markedly because the noise strength of construction
equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment used and its activity level. Short-tern
construction noise impacts tend to occur in discrete phases dominated by large, earth- moving
equipment sources. Construction activities are treated separately in various community noise
ordinances because they do not represent a chronic, permanent noise source.
Demolition and construction noise impacts vary markedly because the noise strength of
construction equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment used which changes during
the course of the project. Construction noise tends to occur in discrete phases dominated initially
by demolition and /or earth - moving sources and later for finish construction. Figure 2 shows the
typical range of construction activity noise generation as a function of equipment used in various
building phases. The earth - moving sources are seen to be the noisiest with equipment noise
ranging up to about 90 dB(A) at 50 feet from the source. Spherically radiating point sources of
noise emissions are atmospherically attenuated by a factor of 6 d6 per doubling of distance, or
about 20 dB in 500 feet of propagation. The loudest earth - moving noise sources may therefore
sometimes be detectable above the local background beyond 1,000 feet from the construction
area. An impact radius of 1,000 feet or more pre- supposes a clear line -of -sight and no other
machinery or equipment noise that would mask project construction noise. With buildings and
other barriers to interrupt line -of -sight conditions, the potential "noise envelope" around
individual construction sites is reduced. Construction noise impacts are, therefore, somewhat
less than that predicted under idealized input conditions.
As discussed, the City's Municipal Code limits construction activities to between the hours of
7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Mondays through Friday, and the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on
Saturday and never on Sundays or city- observed federal holidays. Construction activities that
occur during allowable hours are exempt from compliance with numerical noise standards during
daytime hours.
These time of day restrictions would be effective since it would prohibit construction noise
during the hours when people normally sleep and would prohibit construction noise during the
early morning and evening when people are typically within their home and more sensitive to
noise effects. In addition, noise levels would be temporary and intermittent. Although
construction noise impacts may be noticeable at the adjacent residences and viewed as a
temporary nuisance, impacts would be less than significant.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY VIBRATION
Ground -borne vibration occurs when heavy equipment travels over unpaved surfaces or when it
is engaged in soil movement. The effects of ground -borne vibration include discernable
movement of building floors, rattling of windows, shaking of items on shelves or hanging on
walls, and rumbling sounds. Vibration related problems generally occur due to resonances in the
structural components of a building because structures amplify groundborne vibration. Within
the "soft" sedimentary surfaces of much of Southern California, ground vibration is quickly
damped out. Groundbome vibration is almost never annoying to people who are outdoors (FTA
2006).
Groundbome vibrations from construction activities rarely reach levels that can damage
structures. Because vibration is typically not an issue, very few jurisdictions have adopted
vibration significance thresholds. Vibration thresholds have been adopted for major public works
construction projects, but these relate mostly to structural protection (cracking foundations or
stucco) rather than to human annoyance.
The vibration descriptor commonly used to determine structural damage is the peak particle
velocity (ppv) which is defined as the maximum instantaneous positive or negative peak of the
vibration signal, usually measured in in /sec. The range of such vibration is as follows in Table 1.

Over the years, numerous vibration criteria and standards have been suggested by researchers,
organizations, and governmental agencies. There are no Caltrans or Federal Highway
Administration standards for vibration.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) Standard
R 8 -96 ( AASHTO, 2004) describes three general categories of damage to buildings from
vibration: 1) Threshold cracking; 2) Architectural or Minor Damage; and 3) Major Damage.
Both Threshold and Minor damage include cracks in room interior surfaces that do not affect the
strength or structural integrity of the structure. The term "threshold cracking" is defined as the
highest vibration amplitude at which no cosmetic, minor, or major damage occurs. This may
include "threshold cracks" as hairline cracks in room walls that occur at the lowest vibration
amplitudes. Based on the AASHTO guidelines, a threshold damage criterion of 0.5 in /sec PPV is
Seal Beach Noise 9
appropriate to evaluate vibration impacts by transient and irregular sources. This threshold is
applied in this analysis for transient vibration.
The closest project structures on -site (Lot 1) could be located as little as 10 feet from an
existing residential building. Maximum vibration levels that could be generated by construction
equipment operating at the project boundary are presented in Table 2.
Table 2
Estimated Vibration Levels During Proiect Construction
Source: FHW A Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment
The calculation to determine PPV at a given distance is:
PPVdistance = PPVref*(25 /D) ^1.5
Where:
PPVdistance = the peak particle velocity in inches /second of the equipment adjusted for
distance,
PPVref = the reference vibration level in inches /second at 25 feet, and
D = the distance from the equipment to the receiver.
Based on the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) data, vibration velocities from typical
heavy construction equipment operation that would be used during project construction would
range from 0.003 to 0.089 inches per second (in /sec) peak particle velocity (PPV) at 25 feet
from the source of activity. At 10 feet from the source activity, vibration velocities would
range from 0.012 to 0.352 in /sec PPV. However, the size and density of the site and limited
setback distance to the property line would not allow for a large bulldozer or loaded truck at the
project boundary. Similarly a jackhammer would not likely be used directly at the site -
boundary. A small bulldozer could create levels of up to 0.012 PPV at 10 feet. Therefore,
vibration levels associated with operation of heavy construction equipment at the project
boundary are not expected to exceed the 0.5 in /sec PPV threshold for cosmetic damage from
transient vibration. There is no significant impact and no need for mitigation.

ON -SITE NOISE EXPOSURE
The project site is exposed to traffic noise from 17`h Street and the rear alley. Noise
measurements demonstrated a CNEL of 52 dB CNEL along the 17`h Street alignment. Although
traffic may increase in the future, the area is mostly built out with only smaller infill projects
planned. It would take a doubling of traffic volume to create a +3 dB increase in noise due to the
logarithmic nature of noise. Therefore, even if traffic along 17`h Street were to double, there still
would not be an impediment to the proposed residential uses.
In addition to meeting the exterior noise compatibility standard the residences must also be able
to achieve the 45 dB CNEL interior noise threshold. For typical wood- framed construction with
stucco and gypsum board wall assemblies, the exterior to interior noise level reduction is as
follows:
Partly open windows — 12 dB
Closed single -paned windows — 20 dB
Closed dual -paned windows -30 dB
Use of dual -paned windows is required by the Califomia Building Code (CBC) for energy
conservation in new residential construction. Interior standards will be met even with open
windows. There is no need for mitigation to achieve the suggested 45 dB CNEL interior noise
threshold.
HVAC EQUIPMENT
Section 7.15.035 of the Municipal Code contains the following HVAC noise restrictions:
A. No building permit shall be issued for the installation of heating, venting and air
conditioning ( "HVAC ") equipment in or adjacent to residential areas if the noise produced
by the HVAC equipment exceeds an A- weighted exterior sound pressure level of 50 db(A).
The method of computation used shall be that specified in the "Application of Sound Rating
Levels of Outdoor Unitary Equipment," Standard 275, Air - Conditioning and Refrigeration
Institute, 1997 ed. or the latest revision thereof.
B. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a building permit may be issued for the
installation of:
I. HVAC equipment containing a timing device deactivating the HVAC equipment
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. provided the noise produced by the HVAC
equipment does not exceed an A- weighted exterior sound pressure level of 55 db(A).
2. HVAC equipment generating noise that does not exceed an A- weighted exterior sound
pressure level of 65 db(A), provided that the applicant obtains the prior written consent
of the owner of each property where the exterior sound pressure level would exceed 55
db(A). (Ord. 1551; Ord. 1515).
S1 seen soy,o
Proposed HVAC equipment for the new residential buildings must meet these noise thresholds at
the nearest property line.
SITE OPERATIONAL NOISE
The project proposes residential uses. Residential noise is considered passive and is not expected
to create a noise nuisance for any existing surrounding residential uses.
S.1 Dena Norse 12
SUMMARY AND MITIGATION
Noise from temporary construction activities is exempt from noise ordinances as long as the
construction activities are between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Mondays through
Friday, and the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and never on Sundays or city -
observed federal holidays. In addition the following construction practices are recommended:
• Stockpiling and staging activities must be located as far as practicable from dwellings.
• All mobile equipment shall have properly operating and maintained mufflers.
Vibration levels from heavy construction equipment may be noticeable at times at the nearest
residences, but will not cause any structural damage.
On -site noise readings suggest that the proposed uses will meet the recommended interior and
exterior noise compatibility thresholds for residential use without the application of any
mitigation measures.
HVAC and any other mechanical equipment must be selected and installed to meet the noise
standards in Section 7.15.035 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code.

A RESOLUTION OF THE SUBDIVISION TECHNICAL REVIEW
COMMITTEE OF SEAL BACH RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 17925
RESOLUTION NUMBER 01 -17
A RESOLUTION OF THE SUBDIVISION TECHNICAL
REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL TO THE PLANNING
COMMISSION FOR TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 17925
THE SUBDIVISION TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF SEAL
BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. Applicant Phillip LoSasso, on behalf of the property owners,
Kenneth Adler, Allan Katz, March Katz and Richard Grossgold, submitted an application
requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 to the Public Works- Engineering
Department and Community Development Department.
Section 2. The proposed project seeks approval of a tract map to
subdivide three parcels into five new parcels at 232 through 244 17th Street.
Section 3. The Community Development Department completed its
review of Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 for, in part, consistency with the General Plan
and conformity with the Seal Beach Municipal Code.
Section 4. The project is determined based on the findings of the Initial
Study, that this project would not result in significant environmental impacts with the
incorporation of mitigation measures to address potential air quality, biological resources,
hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality and construction noise
impacts. Accordingly, the City intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant
to Section 21080(c) of the Public Resources Code.
Section 5. A duly noticed public meeting was held before the
Subdivision Technical Review Committee on April 25, 2017 to consider the requested
proposed Tentative Tract Map. At the public meeting, the Subdivision Technical Review
Committee invited and considered any and all testimony offered in favor or opposition to
said Tentative Tract Map.
Section 6. Based upon substantial evidence in the record of the
hearing, including the facts stated in Sections 1 through 5 of this resolution and
pursuant to Seal Beach Municipal Code § 10.20.020 — 10.20.025, the Subdivision
Technical Review Committee finds:
(a) The proposed Tentative Tract Map, including design and
improvements, is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific or precise
plan. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 is proposed at 232 through 244 17th Street which
is designated as Residential High Density -20 in the City of Seal Beach General Plan.
The General Plan specifies the Residential High Density -20 Land Use designation
consists of residential. The subject site consists of three parcels, two contain single -
family residences and the center parcel vacant. The site property is not located within a
specific plan or precise plan area. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to
consolidate the three parcels in order to create five new parcels. Four parcels will each
be developed with a two -story single - family residences and two -car garage. The fifth
new parcel will maintain an existing single - family residential structure with detached
storage. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the land use designation and the
Subdivision Technical Review Committee Resolution No. 01 -17
Tentative Tract Map 17925
April 25, 2017
permitted density of the area. The proposed residential development on the newly
formed parcels will be consistent with the surrounding area and in conformance with the
General Plan designation because the parcels will be consistent in size and shape with
the surrounding area.
(b) The site is physically suitable for the type or proposed density of
development in that Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 11.2.10.015 requires lots in the
Old Town RHD -20 (Residential High Density-20) zone to maintain minimum dimensions
of 25 ft. wide by 100 ft. deep. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to subdivide a
0.52 acres site, which will consolidate three existing legal parcels and create five new
parcels. The proposed parcels will meet the minimum lot size required for the creation
of new lots within the Old Town RHD -20 zone. The proposed subdivision will comply
with the uses and density permitted in the Old Town RHD -20 zone as regulated by the
Seal Beach Municipal Code.
(c) The design of the subdivision, or the proposed improvements, is
not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat. The subject property is currently developed as single - family residences with an
accessory structure and is located in an urbanized area surrounded by developed
residential use. The subject site is bounded by residential uses, to the north and to the
south; public street to the west and a public alley to the east. The subject site is located
in an urbanized area with no fish or wildlife habitat on the subject site because the site
has already been developed and maintained as a residential use. A Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared to address potential environmental impacts from the
proposed subdivision and found that there are no impacts to the fish or wildlife. The
(d) The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely
to cause serious public health problems. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to
subdivide three parcels into five parcels at 232 through 244 17th Street. The existing
residential use has operated at the subject site without causing public health problems
of any kind. The subdivided parcels will be developed with single family residences
which is consistent with the surrounding uses. The Mitigated Negative Declaration
showed no health impacts. The parcels will meet the minimum lot size required and be
developed in conformance with the Old Town development standards.
(e) The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision. The subject site is currently developed as
single - family residences and used for residential purposes without any existing
easements. The subject site has existing alley access but does not contain any
easements and the proposed subdivision of the property into five parcels does not
require the creation of new easements.
(f) The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the
community sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements proscribed
by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The subject site is currently
developed with a residential use. The existing residences have operated without
violation of California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The new residential
2

Tentative Tract Hap 17925
April 25, 2017
parcels will be required to connect to the City's sewer system to maintain compliance
with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
(g) The subject site does not have adverse soil or geological conditions
and the subdivider has provided sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer that the subject site does not require corrections of current conditions.
(h) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable
provisions of Title 11: Zoning and applicable provisions of the Seal Beach Municipal
Code and the Subdivision Map Act. Tentative Tract Map No. 17925 proposes to
consolidate three parcels in order to create five new parcels in the Old Town RHD -20
(Residential High Density -20) zone. The new parcels will comply with the minimum lot
dimensions of 25 ft. wide by 100 ft. deep required in the Old Town RHD -20 zone. Each
parcel will be developed with a single - family residence in compliance with the
development standards set forth in Title 11 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing, the Subdivision Technical review
Committee of the City of Seal Beach does approve Tentative Tract Map No. 17925,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Provide parcels, easements, water supply and distribution systems, sewage
disposal systems, storm drainage facilities, solid waste disposal, and electric, gas
