PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Redlands is planning the development of a 115-acre sports park complex, to be located
between San Bernardino Avenue and the Redlands Municipal Airport, bordered by Wabash Avenue on
the east and the future alignment of Dearborn Street on the west. This is the City's first priority capital
project for the year 2001. The subject site has been designated for several years as"Parks/Golf Courses"
in the Redlands General Plan. A conceptual site plan has been completed, which includes the following
elements:
0 14 soccer fields of varying size.
* 2 basketball courts
• a picnic and lawn area
• a 6,000 seat soccer/football stadium
• 4 arena-style soccer areas
• 8 softball fields with batting cages and a food service/restaurant facility
• 3 tot lots
0 2 concession stands
0 a maintenance building and adjoining yard area
0 surface parking lots along San Bernardino Avenue,Dearborn Street and Sessums Drive
Outdoor lighting is proposed in several areas,however specific aspects of the lighting system(s) have not
yet been developed. Grading and utilities plans are not currently available. City staff (Ron Meuter)
indicated that a portion of the soccer field area in the northwestern quadrant will be designed as a
stormwater detention basin, with sufficient capacity to handle upstream runoff as well as some site
runoff.
At this time, the City is considering a public/private partnership approach to this project. Discretionary
approvals that will be required include a Conditional Use Permit and possibly an amendment to the City
of Redlands Airport Land Use Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL SEWING AND ISSUES
The nearly flat project site was operated as an orange grove for a number of years, and still contains
numerous,fruit-bearing trees. It appears that the grove is not being actively managed. A San Bernardino
Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) water well facility (San Bernardino Avenue Well No. 1)
occupies a small,rectangular area along the San Bernardino Avenue frontage; apparently,this is not part
of the proposed project site. Another, older well site occurs to the east of the SBVMWD well and appears
to be within the subject site.
Open land,water detention basins,several single-family homes and industrial facilities border the project
site on the north. The Redlands Municipal Airport is immediately north of those land uses. Mature
avocado and orange groves are directly east, along the eastern side of Wabash Avenue. Cleared, fallow
grove land lies directly opposite the project site,along the south side of San Bernardino Avenue. Groves
and open land lie to the west. A new subdivision of single-family homes is partially occupied and under
construction along the east side of Dearborn Street, south of San Bernardino Avenue and across from the
southwest comer of the project site. The next nearest residential development is found several hundred
feet west,west of Judson Street.

Introduction and Executive Summary
A brief summary of the proposed project characteristics will be presented and the purpose and intent of
this project-level EIR will be explained. A matrix-style summary of the conclusions of the main body of
the EIR will be presented,relative to project and cumulative impacts,recommended mitigation measures
and level of impact significance remaining after incorporation of mitigation measures. Alternatives
considered will be summarized,including identification of the environmentally superior alternative, any
areas of known controversy will be identified and any environmental issues remaining to be resolved will
be listed.

Environmental Setting
This section of the EIR will generally describe the baseline physical conditions and relevant regional and
local plans and programs that are pertinent to this project's environmental impact analysis. A brief
history of land uses conducted at the project site will be presented. The physical environment that exists
on and surrounding the project site will be textually described and illustrated. Environmental
sensitivities identified during preparation of the Initial Study and public seeping process will be noted,
e.g., any local utilities that are known to be damaged or over-capacity, local streets that are frequently
congested beyond the City's level of service standards, sensitive nearby land uses, seismic or flood
hazards,etc.
Project(in)consistency with applicable local and regional plans will be briefly discussed. The reader will
be referred to the relevant EIR section, where appropriate, for a more detailed analysis of project/plan
consistency. It is anticipated that plans to be discussed will include the Signal Hill General Plan,regional
air quality attainment plan,and the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan.
Environmental Impact Analysis and Recommended Mitigation Measures
This section of the EIR will present findings and recommendations regarding project-level and
cumulative environmental impacts. The emphasis will be on the identification of significant impacts that
would result from project implementation. Impact significance will be determined by defining the
changes to the existing environment that would result from project implementation and comparing that
changed environmental condition to a standard or threshold of significance. Impacts will be evaluated in
proportion to their severity and probability of occurrence. Thresholds of significance will be based on
any such standards that have been officially adopted by the City or other public agencies with primary
authority relative to the impact in question. Thresholds may also include standards that are regularly
applied in the review of major development projects by the City, standards developed by the City and
HELIX specifically for this project, and/or those thresholds set forth in the Initial Study Checklist
contained in the current State CEQA Guidelines.
If the proposed project incorporates specific design or implementation measures intended to mitigate
potentially significant environmental effects, such measures will be noted and an assessment of the
project's "net impact significance" following implementation of the applicant's proposed mitigation
measures will be made. Where impacts are found to be significant, HELIX will develop measures to
mitigate such effects to below a level of significance, if feasible. All recommended mitigation measures
will be defined to represent a close nexus between the measure and a legitimate governmental interest,
and will be directly proportional to the level of impact resulting from the project.
Our approach to the analysis of each of the primary environmental impact topics currently anticipated for
this project is presented in the following pages. Please note that this preliminary range of topics may
need to be altered as a result of the EIR scoping process.
Aesthetics Ught and Glare)
While development of a sports park complex would result in a substantial change in the visual character
of the existing agricultural land use, the impact would not be considered significantly adverse, since the
subject site is not within a recognized or designated scenic view corridor or viewshed, there are no
unique geologic features or other distinguishing landmarks, and this would not be the first orange grove
111-3
Redlands S=fs Park EIR Proposal Section W-Scone of Services
in this area to be converted to an urban use. This proposal,therefore, assumes that the EIR will not need
to evaluate visual impacts associated with scenic resources or scenic views.
Since the proposed project includes a variety of play fields that will be active and lighted, an assessment
of potential adverse impacts due to night lighting is warranted. Light spillage that extends beyond the
park boundaries could interfere with motorists' visibility along adjoining streets and may also adversely
affect night flights at the nearby Redlands Municipal Airport. HELD(will consult with City staff and the
private development entity to develop a conceptual description of the outdoor lighting system(s) to be
utilized on site,and to identify the illumination criteria to be satisfied by the lighting plan. Performance
standards to prevent significant light and glare impacts will be defined that can be incorporated into the
precise lighting plans and evaluated by City staff at the plan check stage.
Air Qualijy
Based on technical analyses to be conducted by Giroux &Associates, HELIX will prepare an assessment
of short-term,construction generated impacts and long-term, operational impacts. Construction impacts
include fugitive dust, exhaust emissions from heavy equipment, machinery; trucks and work crew
vehicles, and fumes associated with paving and application of exterior structural coatings (i.e., paints,
water proofing agents,asphalt, etc.). According to Mr. Meuter, this project will likely result in an excess
of grading materials that will need to be hauled by truck to a currently unknown location. Emissions
from those truck trips will need to be evaluated as part of the construction impact assessment. Long-term
impacts to be addressed include daily and peak period exhaust emissions generated by vehicles entering
and leaving the site, and indirect emissions at electrical and natural gas generation facilities that would
supply these power sources to the developed project site. Impact significance will be assessed in
accordance with significance thresholds recommended by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District, proximity of sensitive receptors and applicable City General Plan policies. Calculations of
construction-related emissions will be based upon construction program details to be provided by the
City and on existing and projected traffic volume data to be developed by WPA Traffic Engineering. A
microscale screening analysis will be performed to determine whether federal or state one-hour
standards for carbon monoxide pollutant would be exceeded during full capacity events at the
football/soccer stadium or other heavy attendance time periods.
Cultural Resources
Based on their recent "overview" level assessment of the Santa Ana River watershed for the San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, McKenna et al. found that there are numerous
archaeological sites in the general area. This proposal, therefore, includes preparation of a complete
Phase I Cultural Resources Survey Report by McKenna. Their tasks will include: (1) an archaeological
records check at the San Bernardino County Museum, (2) limited historical research, including City,
County and BLM files; (3) Native American consultation; (4) Field survey; and (5) report preparation.
HELD(will summarize the results of that report in this section of the EIR and the complete report will be
appended to the EIR.
ois
Short-term construction related impacts are normally mitigated to a less than significant level through
compliance with local noise control ordinances that restrict the hours and days of operations to the least
intrusive times of the day and week. This proposal assumes that construction noise impacts will be
adequately addressed within the Initial Study and will not require further analysis in the EIR.
111-4
Redlands5j2orts Park EIR F-aWmo—sal Section M–Scope of Services
Giroux &Associates will prepare a noise study to determine whether the proposed activities at the park
would generate adverse noise levels at nearby residential or other noise sensitive areas. Noise levels
generated by the types of outdoor athletic facilities included in the proposed project will be estimated on
the basis of noise measurements taken by Giroux at similar facilities over the last few years. The
measured data will be used as the basis for projecting future noise levels at affected noise sensitive areas.
Noise associated with outdoor speakers will be based on project speaker design information. Potential
traffic noise impacts affecting noise sensitive receivers along the roadways that would carry the most
project-related traffic will also be evaluated. Existing and with-project roadway noise will be modeled on
the basis of traffic volumes, posted speeds and vehicle n-dx data to be provided by the City's traffic
consultant. The increase in noise associated with the additional traffic will be determined and potential
noise impacts identified. The noise will be compared to the City's noise criteria to determine potential
noise impacts. If significant noise impacts are projected,mitigation measures will be identified.
HELD(will summarize the results of the Noise study in this section of the EIR. The complete report will
be appended to the EIR.
Hazards
Because of the proximity to the City's Municipal Airport, the proposed project would potentially expose
significant concentrations of people to potential air traffic hazards associated with incoming and
departing flights. The City has retained Shutt Moen Associates to evaluate this hazard as well as this
project's consistency with the adopted airport land use plan, and to make recommendations to prevent
significant air traffic hazards. HELD(will summarize the results of the Shutt Moen study in this section
of the EIR. The complete report will be appended to the EIR.
Transportation/Traffic
HELIX will summarize the results of the traffic, circulation and parking analysis to be prepared by VVPA
Traffic Engineering,under separate contract to the City. The complete WPA report will be appended to
features.
Utilities/Service EygLen.12
Based on our preliminary conversation with City engineering staff(Mr.Meuter),it appears that the City's
existing water,sewer and storm drainage systems have adequate capacity to accommodate the increased
average demand that would result from development and operation of the proposed sports park
complex. A new storm drain was recently completed adjacent to the project site that connects to an
existing storm drain in Aviation Way. Mr. Meuter indicated that this new storm drain has been sized
sufficiently to handle the additional runoff from the proposed park site. He also agreed that some
additional analysis is warranted to determine whether existing water and sewer facilities are adequate to
support peak demands that could substantially exceed"average" demands,such as during a full capacity
event in the proposed soccer/football stadium.
HELIX will work with the City's Municipal Utilities and Public Works Departments to assess the need for
any upgrades to existing water or sewer facilities that would result in ground disturbing impacts. The
results of this assessment will be presented in this section of the EIR. Staff also indicated that developed
site runoff would likely be directed to the City's existing storm drain system located north of the project
site in California Street, and also to the County's "California Bowl" detention basin facility to the
southeast. A conceptual plan for on-and off-site water,sewer and storm drainage facilities has not been
prepared, however, and further analysis is needed to determine whether any significant construction
impacts could occur in connection with off-site utility facilities required for this project.

Redlands Sports Lad EIR Proposal Section III-SMe Qf Services
Cumulative Impacts
This section will present a concise discussion of the combined impacts resulting from the implementation
of the proposed project, together with other past, present and reasonably foreseeable future projects
causing related impacts. HELIX will work with City staff to develop appropriate lists of related projects,
and to obtain copies of planning documents that identify relevant growth projections and contain
pertinent assessments of cumulative impacts to which this project will contribute. The impact analysis
will focus on the project's contribution to any estimated significant cumulative impacts; mitigation
measures will also focus on the project's contribution to overall solutions. This section will also note
where the project's incremental effect would not be cumulatively considerable because of mandatory
participation in a funding or other mitigation program designed to alleviate the cumulative impact. If the
project's contribution to a significant impact is so minor that the environmental conditions would
essentially be the same with or without the project,this will also be noted.
Growth Inducing Impacts
Ways in which the project could induce development of neighboring lands, direct or indirect population
or economic growth or the construction of additional housing will be examined. Factors to be examined
include extension of or major upgrades to necessary utilities and other infrastructure that would also
remove development constraints for nearby properties; establishment of potential precedent setting
governmental actions relative to allowable development intensities;amendments to local regulations that
involve relaxation of certain planning or construction standards; substantial increase in long-term
employment opportunities that could attract new residents as well as new businesses that support or
compliment new businesses developed at the project site.
Effects Not Found to Be Significant
As required under Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines, this section of the EIR will briefly cite the
reasons that various possible significant effects of the project were determined not to be significant and
not analyzed within the EIR. This section will summarize the findings of the Initial Study and public
scoping process and will refer the reader to the Appendix materials that contain the final Initial Study
and other documentation concerning the scoping process.
Alternatives to the Proposed Project
The purpose of this EIR section is to define and evaluate potential alternative project scenarios that would
avoid or reduce one or more of the significant environmental impacts that would result from the
proposed project. Potential alternative project concepts that could be evaluated include alternative land
use mixes and intensities,modified design concepts and/or a different site. A No-Project Alternative will
also be examined, pursuant to Section 15126.6(e) of the CEQA Guidelines. This will be based on
reasonable assumptions developed in consultation with City staff as to what land use scenarios are likely
to occur if the proposed project is not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available
infrastructure and community services. Since the proposed project is consistent with the land use policies
contained in the City's general plan,evaluation of an alternative site is not recommended at this time. An
alternative site scenario can be addressed,if requested by City staff,as an optional,additional cost item.
HELIX will consult with City staff to define an appropriate range of alternatives that would avoid or
mitigate those impacts found to be significant,and particularly to reduce or avoid any significant impacts
that cannot be avoided if the proposed project is approved. A rationale for each alternative will be
presented,including a discussion of the impacts it is intended to reduce or avoid,and an explanation of
how the alternative implements or fails to implement the project objectives. Please note that the budget for
this task assumes analysis of up to three alternatives, in a qualitative and comparative manner.

Following a succinct narrative that compares the environmental impacts of each alternative with those of
the proposed project, the comparisons will be summarized in a matrix format, for the reader's
convenience. The environmentally superior alternative will then be identified. If it is the No-Project
Alternative,an environmentally superior"project" alternative will also be identified.
Report Preparation Resources
This section will consist of three elements,as follows.
Organizations and Persons Contacted
All persons and organizations consulted with or from whom information was obtained during
preparation of this EIR will be identified.
EIR Preparation Staff
The key City staff members responsible for managing the EIR process wiR be identified, along with the
key members of the Environmental Consultant team and the key consultants for the project applicant,
including a one-sentence summary of their professional experience and their roles in the EIR process.
Biblioglapby
All documents, maps and other information materials cited as references or otherwise used as an
information source during preparation of the EIR will be listed.
Appendix
The Appendix will include the following:
• NOP and responses to the NOP
• Initial Study
• Traffic study and air traffic hazards report prepared by the City's other consultants
• Cultural Resources technical report
• Calculations and computer model assumptions utilized in the noise and air quality studies
• Hazardous materials sites database search report
• Other documents,meeting minutes, correspondence, etc., that record significant communications or
environmental determinations during this environmental review process.
The appendix will be bound separately from the Draft EIR,to reduce the bulk of the main document,and
also to facilitate selective distribution of those reports to those who have some statutory authority relative
to the subject matter or to those with a special interest. The appendix will contain the following and
possibly other elements.
Deliverables
• Three(3)copies of a Screencheck Draft EIR
• Three(3)copies of a Screencheck Draft Appendix

QbLs Enyi onYnental Review Committee
After receipt of all City staff comments on the screencheck document, HELIX will make any necessary
revisions and submit a revised screencheck document for review and approval by the City's
Environmental Review Committee(ERC).
Deliverables
* Ten(10)copies of a 2nd Screencheck Draft EIR,with five sets of the appendix
Task 5; Produce and Distribute Notice of Completion and Draft
HELIX will revise the EER in accordance with the direction of the City's ERC and will then produce and
submit the required number of copies of the public review Draft EIR and Notice of Completion (NOC)
form to City staff. Based on direction provided in the attachment to the RFP, it is assumed that the City
will be responsible for mailing copies of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse and to other public
agencies,persons and groups included on this project's distribution list. (This task could also be assigned
to the consulting Project Coordinator,at the City's option.) The document will be circulated for a 45-day
review and comment period. Technical appendix will not be distributed with the Draft EIRs, due to the
added bulk and expense and the expectation that very few recipients would need or be interested in that
information. A.transmittal will be sent with all Draft EIRs that will indicate how and where copies of
Appendix materials can be purchased,if desired.
Deliverables
The number of copies of the Draft EIR that will be needed is not known at this time; this proposal
assumes that up to-30 copies of the Draft EIR and the 10 copies of the Appendix will be provided.
HELIX will also provide one digital copy of the Draft EIR document and one unbound,reproducible
version for use by City staff,as needed,
Task 6- P=are PreliminAa Responses to !Qomments (RTC), Screencheck Final EM LF_EIR), and
Mitigaflan Monitoring and_R_eporting Program OJMRP)
Immediately following the end of the 45-day public review period,HELIX will prepare written responses
to all comments received concerning the adequacy of the Draft EIR,to be included in a screencheck Final
EIR. The Final EIR will incorporate the Draft EIR by reference and will include an introduction section,
copies of all comments received on the Draft EIR, written responses to those comments, and a section
containing any minor clarifications,corrections or revisions to the Draft EIR that may be determined to be
necessary as a result of one or more comments. Since it is impossible to predict the number and
complexity of comments that will need to be responded to, a budget allocation of $5,000 has been
established for this task. If less effort is required, the City will be billed only for the time and expenses
actually involved. If more effort is required, HELIX will notify the City and obtain authorization to
exceed the$5,000 limit or to make other provisions to complete this task within this limit.
Pursuant to Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines,a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) will be prepared to define the roles, responsibilities, timing and methods of monitoring and
ensuring successful completion of all mitigation measures included in the Final EIR.
Deliverables
Three(3)copies of a screencheck Final FIR and three copies of a screencheck MMRP.

Task 8: Attend Meetingl gAd Public Hearings
The HELIX project manager and the Project Coordinator will attend meetings with City staff and will also
attend public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. We will be prepared to
present EIR findings and to answer questions regarding the project and the EIR. This proposal assumes
attendance by the HELD(project manager at three meetings with City staff, one meeting with the City's
ERC, two public hearings before the City Planning Commission and one public hearing before the City
Council. Our proposed budget allocates three hours per meeting attended by the EIR project manager. It
is further assumed that the Project Coordinator will be requested to attend five meetings with City staff
and two public hearings. An average of three hours per meeting is included in the proposed budget for
attendance by the Project Coordinator.
Travel and meal expenses associated with attending meetings and hearings will be billed on a time and
expenses basis.
Task 9; Project Management
Throughout the environmental review process, HELIX will exercise project management oversight and
facilitate communications between our project team,the City and their consultants to successfully achieve
project objectives for schedule, budget and product quality. This will involve coordination and
supervision of the consultant team,development of and revisions to schedules, agendas,notices,memos,
staff reports and other communications, and formulation of strategies concerning analytical and process
issues, communications protocols, meetings and hearings and general problem-solving. Quality
assurance and CEQA compliance review are management tasks that are also included in this scope of
services.
