Report to Redding City Council July 8, 2025 Re: 6.3 --Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 2 Background/Analysis At a public hearing on May 13, 2025, the Planning Commission (Commission) passed a motion recommending that the Council approve Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-2022-02416 and Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156 for Zinco Subdivision. The Commission modified several conditions of approval to further clarify the fencing material and the maintenance of the fencing along the private detention. As the Commission does not have the authority to approve rezoning applications, and since the approval of the tentative subdivision map is contingent upon approval of the rezoning, the entire project is before the Council for consideration. The May 13, 2025, Commission staff report is available online for reference. The proposed 16 lot single-family subdivision site consists of 4.42 acres located in the northwest quadrant of the City of Redding (City), west of Lake Boulevard and south of Keswick Dam Road. Currently, two existing parcels make up the project site. The property addressed as 3150 Jordan Lane and designated on the General Plan as "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre" while the property addressed as 3250 Jordan Lane is designated "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." Both properties are currently zoned "RS -3" Residential Single -Family which allows for a maximum density of 3 units per acre. In order to allow for the 16 lots, the project applicant proposes to rezone both properties to "RS - 3.5" Residential Single -Family and maintain consistency with the General Plan designations of both parcels; 3150 Jordan Lane having a maximum density of 3.5 units per acre and 3250 Jordan Lane having a minimum density of 3.5 units per acre. This zoning is consistent with the area south and east of Jordan Lane, which is zoned "RS- 3.5" with a General Plan designation of "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." The map proposes to subdivide each of the two parcels into eight lots, for a total of 16 lots and an overall density of 3.6 units per acre. The number of lots is consistent with the proposed "RS - 3.5" zoning district and is well within the General Plan density range for each parcel. The design of the subdivision is also consistent with the surrounding development in the area with similar lot sizes and dimensions. It is the opinion of staff that with application of the attached conditions of approval, all necessary findings for approval related to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance, and the tentative map are in evidence. The project proposes to rezone both properties to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family which would provide consistency with the General Plan designation of 3250 Jordan Lane, having a minimum density of 3.5 units per acre in the General Plan, and allow for the overall development as proposed. The project is consistent with policies under General Plan Goal CDD9: Preserve existing community character and fabric and promote the development of livable and cohesive neighborhoods and districts. The proposed block -post fence and landscaping along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way provides a livable and aesthetically pleasing streetscape.

CURTIS, City Attorney FINDINGS ZINCO HOLDING, LLC TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP APPLICATION S-2022-02416/ REZONING APPLICATION RZ-2024-00156 ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The following two findings are necessary for approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration: 1. Based on the Initial Study and the infonnation contained in the record, there will be no significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the Project. 2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and its supporting documentation reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Redding. TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66474) In accordance with Section 66474 of the Government Code, the City Council makes the following findings: 1. That the density or use of the proposed map is consistent with the Genual Plan designation of Residential 2 to 3.5 Units per Acre and Residential 3.5 to 6 Units per Acre or applicable area and specific plans as specified in Section 65451 of the Government Code. Currently, two existing parcels make up the project site. The property addressed as 3150 Jordan Lane has a General Plan designation of "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre" and the property addressed as 3250 Jordan Lane, "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." The proposed map subdivides each of the two parcels into 8 lots for an overall total of 16 lots. The density of the project is consistent with the General Plan. The project proposes a rezoning of both properties from their current designations of "RS -3" Residential Single -Family to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family in order for the density of the project to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, a rezoning of 3250 Jordan Lane would make the property's zoning consistent with the General Plan: It is currently zoned for 3 units per acre while the General Plan calls for a minimum of 3.5 units per acre. 2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan or area or specific plans. The project's street and lot design conform to the standards of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance within the guidelines and purpose of the "RS -3.5" District. Adequate transportation and utility infrastructure exist adjacent to the project. The Conditions of Approval require construction of utilities and allow for their logical extension to surrounding properties. They also require improvements to Jordan Lane and Deodar Way including curb, gutter, and sidewalk. In addition, the Conditions of Approval require the undergrounding of overhead lines along Deodar Way in accordance with General Plan policy. S-2022-02416/Zinco Holding, LLC Findings 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development due to steepness of terrain; location of water courses; size or shape of the property; inadequate frontage, access, or building area; or other physical condition. The site is relatively flat with no steepness of terrain and does not contain any area within the 100 -year floodplain. There are no physical conditions that would make the site physically unsuitable for the proposed density and type of development proposed with this tentative map application. 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. A Biological Resources Assessment was completed for the project site in 2024 by Vestra Resources. An initial study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have been prepared for the project. The only potentially significant impacts identified with the project were to Redding checkerbloom, dubious pea, and Henderson's bent grass. Protocol level preconstruction surveys for these special status plants are required with the MND and in the conditions of approval for the project. If any of these special status plants are positively identified onsite, consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is required. With the adoption of the MND and its associated Mitigation Monitoring Program the project would have no significant effect on the environment. The conditions of approval also contain provisions for the protection of nesting birds and bats that may inhabit the site. With these avoidance and minimization measures in place, the project would not cause substantial harm to the environment or wildlife. 5. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not cause serious public health problems. Adequate measures have been applied with the Conditions of Approval to address potential concerns related to public health, including, but not limited to, provisions for water for domestic use and fire protection, extension of sanitary sewer facilities to ensure proper management of wastewater, installation of necessary storm drainage, construction of public streets and sidewalk, the undergrounding of overhead utilities along Deodar Way, and provision for proper and orderly timing for construction of necessary improvements. The Conditions of Approval also require the project to loop water to the existing stub to the north west of the subdivision to improve municipal water quality in the area. 6. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. There are no easements that grant public right-of-way across the project site. Any Bureau of Land Management patent easements that may remain are conditioned to be abandoned with the map. In addition to dedication of public right-of-way for streets interior to the subdivision, additional easements are required for the two detention ponds required for stormwater management and associated infrastructure. These easements are necessary for the maintenance of these stormwater features by the City. No existing public access would be obstructed or otherwise impeded by the proposed project.

Box 496071, Redding, CA 96049-6071 Phone:. 530-225i-4022 cityofredding-gov Permit No. S-2022-02416 & RZ-2024-001.56 State Clearinghouse No. 2025040223 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project applicant, Zinco Holding, LLC, is requesting approval of Subdivision Map Application S-2022-02416 and Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156 to subdivide approximately 4.4 gross acres, spanning two adjacent parcels located in the northwest quadrant of the City, into 16 single-family residential lots, along with roadways and other supporting infrastructure, while rezoning both parcels from "RS -3" Residential Single Family, 3 -units per acre, to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family, 3.5 -units per acre. Residential lot sizes would range from 7,229 square feet to 15,549 square feet with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet as required by the City's zoning ordinance for the RS 3.5 zoning district. However, the majority of the lot sizes are within the 8,000 square feet to 10,000 square foot range. The project site currently consists of two adjacent parcels, both of which would require a rezoning, from allowing 3 units per acre to 3.5 units per acre to accommodate the proposed density. The project proposes a density of 3.6 units per acre which is consistent with the rounding rules of the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Designation for the parcels. As the site drains into two different basins, the project proposes two detention ponds, each draining into a separate basin, which would also act as water quality treatment features. Access to the subdivision would be provided from a new street (Road A) that would intersect with Jordan Lane in the westerly portion of the site. This road segment would continue to the northly edge of the site for a potential future extension of the roadway. An interior cul-de-sac street (Road B) connected to Road A would provide access to the remaining lots in the subdivision. The Conditions of Approval require construction of necessary improvements, including construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk. No vehicular access would be taken from Deodar Way and all utility connections are available adjacent to the site. Street improvements would be required of the project along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way. These improvements include the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along with landscaping and fencing. The project includes the off-site extension of the water line in Road A to the existing water main stub approximately 30 feet to the north of the subdivision. Looping the water system in this way Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 1 increases water quality to properties at the end of the pipeline while also cutting down on maintenance costs associated with dead ends in the system. VNIVI /RUIN! i/I/��/►1�//1 CYDI/1YY/��ll� The project site is located in the northwest quadrant of the City and is surrounded by existing development. This development includes single-family development and a mobile home park. Some of the adjacent parcels are not fully improved and/or have natural landscaping. The site itself is relatively flat and undeveloped. Vegetation consists of a moderate coverage of scattered small - to -medium-sized blue oak trees interspersed with gray pine and live oak trees, shrubs consisting of manzanita and poison oak, and annual grasses and forbs. FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study (attached), which determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects. Subsequent revisions to the project proposal create the specific mitigation measures identified below. The project, as revised and as agreed to by the applicant, avoids or mitigates the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the City, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary. The project includes measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts of development on biological resources. Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the .Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable. In accordance with CEQA Section 15074. 1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures which it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it, in itself, would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment. 1. Based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate. All potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant. 2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, fully incorporated herein, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding. II7/TWO11 ///��/►1�rY[/)��l The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination. Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 2 MITIGATIONMEASURES MM -BIO -1: The applicant shall have a pre -construction rare plant survey of the proposed disturbance area or other project features that may impact special status species of the project site conducted by a qualified botanist during the appropriate survey window (blooming period) for rare and endangered plants that have the potential to occur within the project site if such a survey has not been provided to the City. Surveys shall be done in accordance with the most current version of California Native Plant Society Botanical Survey Guidelines (CLAPS 2001), California Department of Fish and Wildlife Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants. If present, special status plant species plant populations will be flagged and, if possible, avoided during construction. If the population cannot be avoided during construction, a plan will be developed for approval by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) which may include transplanting the plant population, compensation, or other measures established by that agency. MM -BIO -2: If feasible, vegetation removal and/or construction shall be conducted between September 1 and January 31. If vegetation removal and/or construction activities are to occur during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than seven (7) days before vegetation removal or construction activities begin. If an active nest is found, a non -disturbance buffer shall be established by a qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW. Construction may resume once the young have left the nest or as approved by the qualified biologist. The survey shall be provided to the CDFW. If construction activities cease for a period greater than seven (7) days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the Project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.? The Redding Rancheria and the Wintu Tribe of Northern California were noticed about this Project and the preparation of its associated initial study. No California Native American tribes requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1. Note: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, idents and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. (See Public Resources Code section 21080.3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission's Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office ofHistorie Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

The issue areas evaluated in this Initial Study include: ■ Aesthetics ■ Agricultural and Forestry Resources ■ Air Quality ■ Biological Resources ■ Cultural Resources ■ Energy ■ Geology/Soils ■ Greenhouse Gas Emissions ■ Hazards & Hazardous Materials ■ Hydrology/Water Quality ■ Land Use/Planning ■ Mineral Resources ■ Noise ■ Population/Housing ■ Public Services ■ Recreation ■ Transportation ■ Tribal Cultural Resources ■ Utilities/Service Systems ■ Wildfire ■ Mandatory Findings of Significance The environmental analysis in this section is patterned after the Initial Study Checklist recommended by the State CEQA Guidelines and used by the City of Redding in its environmental review process. For the preliminary environmental assessment undertaken as part of this Initial Study's preparation, a determination that there is a potential for significant effects indicates the need to more fully analyze the development's impacts and to identify mitigation. For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist are stated and an answer is provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis considers the long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the development. To each question, there are four possible responses: • No Impact. The development will not have any measurable environmental impact on the environment. • Less Than Significant Impact. The development will have the potential for impacting the environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are considered to be significant. • Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The development will have the potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment, although mitigation measures or changes to the development's physical or operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant. • Potentially Significant Impact. The development will have impacts which are considered significant, and additional analysis is required to identify mitigation measures that could reduce these impacts to less than significant levels. Where potential impacts are anticipated to be significant, mitigation measures will be required, so that impacts may be avoided or reduced to insignificant levels.

Discussion: a -e) The majority of the Project site consists of Redding gravelly loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes, with approximately 0.4 acres of the site in the northwest corner consisting of Newtown gravelly loam, 30 to 50 percent slopes. Neither soil type meets the criteria for Prime Farmland pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency. According to the General Plan Background Report, prime agricultural soils in the Planning Area are limited to Churn Creek Bottom and pockets of land along Stillwater Creek in the vicinity of Shasta College. The Project site is not under Williamson Act contract and does not contain forest land or timberlands. The Project would not convert or rezone any farmland to non-agricultural use, or any forest land to non -forest use.

Mitigation: None necessary. III. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established Potentially Less -Than- Less -Than- No by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control Significant Significant with Significant Impact district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the Impact Mitigation Impact project: Incorporated a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality X plan? b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable Federal X or State ambient air quality standard S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study III. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established Potentially Less -Than- Less -Than- No by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control Significant Significant with Significant Impact district may be relied upon to make the,following determinations. Would the Impact Mitigation Impact project: Incorporated c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely X affecting a substantial number of people? Discussion: a) Shasta County, including the far northern Sacramento Valley, currently exceeds the state's ambient standards for ozone (smog) and particulates (fine, airborne particles). Consequently, these pollutants are the focus of local air quality policy, especially when related to land use and transportation planning. Even with application of measures to reduce emissions for individual projects, cumulative impacts are unavoidable when ozone and/or particulate emissions are involved. For example, the primary source of emissions contributing to ozone is from vehicles. Any project that generates vehicle trips has the potential of contributing incrementally to the problem. The City of Redding General Plan (GP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) concluded that cumulative impacts would be significant and unavoidable on a City-wide basis and those impacts are addressed in the adopted CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. The GP EIR estimated areawide and mobile source emissions under the General Plan 2045 and compared the estimates to the estimated area and mobile source emissions projected in the 2021 Air Quality Attainment Plan (AQAP) for year 2025, which is the time horizon of the AQAP. The analysis concluded that the cumulative ROG and NOX emissions that would be generated by activity under the GP in 2045 would exceed the projections in the AQAP for year 2025 resulting in a very conservative determination. The GP EIR mirrors GP policies by requiring Mitigation Measures AQ -1 and AQ - 2. AQ -1 requires that "Standard Mitigation Measures" (SMMs) be applied to all discretionary projects. AQ -2 requires the use of Best Available Mitigation Measures (BAMMs) recommended by SCAQMD which has the ability to provide recommendations for each discretionary project. The requirement of SMMs are also required by the City's Standard Conditions of Approval (SCOA) for discretionary projects including subdivisions. Because the Project would generate the type of construction and traffic emissions projected for the land use types and density set forth for the Project site by the GP EIR, the Project would not conflict with the SCAQMD plans and impacts would be less than significant. b) The GP EIR concluded that cumulative impacts would be significant and unavoidable on a City-wide basis and those impacts are addressed in the adopted CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. The GP EIR concluded that implementation of the GP would cumulatively generate construction -related emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors, including ROG, NOX, PM 10, and PM2.5 from site preparation (e.g., excavation, clearing), off-road equipment, material delivery, worker commute trips, and other activities (e.g., building construction, asphalt paving, application of architectural coatings). Implementation of the construction -related SMMs as required by the City's SCOA for discretionary projects would reduce construction -generated emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors. However, due to Shasta County's nonattainment- transitional status for ozone, construction activities associated with the Project would add to the cumulative impacts, and the GP EIR acknowledges that implementation of the GP may result in adverse air quality impacts to surrounding land uses and may contribute to the existing air quality condition in the City. There are no components of the proposed Project that would result in increased construction -related air quality emissions beyond what was previously evaluated and disclosed by the GP EIR for the Project site. Nonetheless, and consistent with the findings of the GP EIR, Project -related air quality emissions during construction activities would contribute to the significant and unavoidable construction -related air quality impact identified by the GP EIR (Impact AQ -2), However, the Project would not result in increased impacts or increased cumulatively -considerable impacts due to construction -related emissions beyond what was evaluated and disclosed by the GP EIR and would not exceed the thresholds established by the GP. The City of Redding General Plan 2045, Natural Resources Element 2045 establishes emission thresholds that have been adopted by regional agencies when determining air quality impacts of discretionary projects for the important regional/local pollutants, including: Reactive Organic Gases (ROG) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), which are ozone precursors, and Inhalable Particulate Matter, 10 Micron (PM Io) and 2.5 Micron (PM2.5) as follows: Level "A" Level "B" 25 pounds per day of NOx 137 pounds per day of NOx 25 pounds per day of ROG 137 pounds per day of ROG S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division 80 pounds per day of PM10 137 pounds per day of PM10 80 pounds per day of PM2.s Initial Study The process of applying SMM and BAMM is to apply appropriate SMM to all projects based on potential air quality impacts and to help contribute to reducing cumulative impacts. If the Project exceeds Level "A" threshold, then BAMM will be applied based on the unique characteristics of the Project selected from a list of measures provided by AQMD. If a project exceeds Level `B" thresholds, SMM, BAMM, and appropriate special BAMM would be applied and the City will seek recommendations of the AQMD regarding the efficiency of proposed emissions measures beyond BAMM. If a project's emission cannot be reduced to below Level `B" thresholds, emission offsets will be required. If, after applying emission offsets, the Project still exceeds the Level "B" threshold, then an Environmental Impact Report is required. The current Project has the potential to impact air quality primarily in two ways: (1) the Project would generate vehicle trip emissions (with NOx, ROG, and PMio) that contribute cumulatively to local and regional air quality conditions; and (2) fugitive dust (particulate/PM10 and PM2.5) emissions are possible during construction activities. As a residential development, the Project does not have the potential to generate significant emission concentrations of other pollutants subject to state and federal ambient air quality standards and no recommendation for BAMM were made by the SCAQMD. Application of the SMMs outlined below would reduce the Project's potential air quality impacts to a level less than significant. 1. Apply nontoxic soil stabilizers according to manufacturer's specification to all inactive construction areas (previously -graded areas inactive for ten (10) days or more). 2. Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering prior to final occupancy. 3. All grading operations shall be suspended by the City Engineer when winds (as instantaneous gusts) exceed 20 miles per hour as directed by the AQMD. 4. Provide temporary traffic control as appropriate during all phases of construction to improve traffic flow (e.g. flag person) as approved by the City Engineer. 5. Schedule construction activities that affect traffic flow to off-peak hours as determined by the City Engineer. 6. Water active construction sites at least twice daily or as directed by the Public Works Department. 7. All truck hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials shall be covered or maintain at least two feet (2') of freeboard (i.e., minimum vertical distance between top of the load and the trailer) in accordance with the requirements of CVC Section 23114. This provision is enforced by local law enforcement agencies. 8. Sweep streets at the end of the day if visible soil materials are carried onto adjacent public paved roads (recommend water sweeper with reclaimed water). 9. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved roads, or wash off trucks and any equipment leaving the site each trip. In addition to the requirements of the California Building Code, the following operational SMMs will be applied as appropriate to as recommended by the Shasta County Air Quality Management District: 1. Provide energy-efficient process systems, such as water heaters, furnaces, and boiler units. 2. All new wood burning devices shall be EPA Phase 11 certified. 3. Large residential, commercial, and industrial projects should include bus shelters at transit access points. 4. Contribute to traffic -flow improvements that reduce emissions and are not growth -inducing (e.g., right-of-way, capital improvements, etc.) 5. Install an electrical outlet at the front and back of all residential units for electrical yard equipment. 6. Streets should be designed to maximize pedestrian access to transit stops. c -d) The GP EIR concluded that cumulative impacts would be significant and unavoidable on a City-wide basis and those are addressed in the adopted CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. However, the document notes that the SCAQMD identified the following types of land use conflicts that could result in the exposure of sensitive receptors to excessive pollutant concentrations in their CEQA Land Use Protocol Guidelines: • Development projects with sensitive receptors in close proximity to a congested intersection or roadway with high levels of emissions from motor vehicles. High concentrations of carbon monoxide, fine particulate matter, or toxic air contaminants are S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division the most common concerns. Initial Study • Development projects with sensitive receptors close to an industrial source of toxic air contaminants. • Development projects with sensitive receptors close to a source of odorous emissions. Although odors generally do not pose a health risk, they can be quite unpleasant and often lead to citizen complaints to the District and to local governments. The Project does not meet any of these criteria. Further, the Project is not located in proximity to any of the land uses types noted.

Discussion: The information below is based on the results documented in the Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) prepared by Vestra Resources Inc., dated October of 2024, and the Zinco Property Wetlands Delineation prepared by Wildland Resource Managers, dated December 2024, for the Project. a) Plants The BRA identified vegetation within the survey area through consultation with the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) followed by a reconnaissance survey. CWHR states that the dominant vegetation community onsite is mixed chaparral which may have occurred prior to removal of trees and shrubs from the property. The reconnaissance survey determined that Blue S-2022-02416/Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning 10 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance is now present onsite. The area shown as Barren was found to support several oak trees and is a part of the oak woodland community. The habitat observed onsite consists of the Blue Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance. Dominant species observed were blue oak and foothill pine with a sparse understory of manzanita, toyon, and poison oak. Introduced annual grasses and fortis comprise the understory plant community. The herbaceous species observed were wild oats, rattlesnake grass, little rattlesnake grass, and brome. Dirt roads resulting from public use since prior to 1998, as observed via Google Earth aerial imagery, have resulted in fragmented mature stands of Blue Oak Woodland habitat with heavily disturbed soils within the survey area. As CWHR suggests, the habitat may once have been mixed chaparral, but years of disturbance have transitioned the site to what is now fragmented oak woodlands. The BRA, which was conducted in October and did not include a protocol level plant survey, concluded that three special status plant species could not be ruled out and technically have the potential to occur on-site. They are all ranked as California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) 3 species by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). CNPS rank 3 species are species that are not very threatened in California. They have a low degree and immediacy of threat or have no currently known threats. What unites CNPS Rank 3 plants is that CNPS lacks the necessary information to assign them a rank or to determine them exempt from ranking. Because of this lack of information, it is common practice for agencies to consider Rank 3 plants as special status species. Mitigation measures for these species typically consist of doing protocol level surveys in order to gain a better understanding of their occurrence and distribution. Although the likelihood of these three species occurring onsite is low, the following special status species plants have the potential to occur onsite: Redding Checkerbloom: Redding checkerbloom is a perennial herb occurring in cismontane woodland or open oak woodland between elevations of 150-370 meters. Although the reconnaissance survey was conducted outside of the flowering period, the site was visually scanned for Redding checkerbloom in the vegetative state and none were observed. Because a protocol -level survey would be required to definitively determine whether the species is present within the site, its presence cannot technically be ruled out. There is potential habitat underneath the onsite blue oak canopy containing undisturbed vegetation where Redding checkerbloom could grow. A nearby occurrence of ten individuals of this species was discovered in 2023 approximately 0.75 miles south of site in similar habitat, although in apparently less disturbed conditions. Mitigation. Measure BIO -1 would bring potential impacts to the Redding checkerbloom to less than significant. Dubious Pea: Dubious pea is a perennial vine -Like herb that occurs in cismontane woodlands, lower montane coniferous forests, and upper montane coniferous forests between 500 feet and 3000 meters elevation in. Shasta County. Although the survey done for the BRA was conducted outside of the flowering period, no dubious pea or closely related pea was observed in the vegetative state. The nearest and most recent records of this species occurring in Redding are from 1911. However, there is potential habitat underneath the onsite blue oak canopy containing undisturbed vegetation where dubious pea could grow. Mitigation Measure 13I0- 1 would bring potential impacts to the dubious pea to less than significant. Henderson's Bent Grass: Henderson's bent grass is an annual grass native to northern California and Oregon. This species usually inhabits vernal pool and swale habitats, but it can also be found in moist areas in annual grasslands. It is associated with valley grasslands and ephemeral wetlands, and sometimes with riparian understory communities. The wetland features located onsite could provide habitat for Henderson's bent grass. Mitigation Measure BIO -1 would bring potential impacts to the Henderson's bent grass to less than significant. Animals Townsend's Big -Eared Bat: The BRA identifies impacts to one special status wildlife species that has the potential to occur in the Project area, Townsend's big -eared bat. Although no maternity roost habitat exists, there is potential foraging habitat onsite and in the adjacent oak woodland to the northwest of the site. According to the BRA, the development of the Project site would cause a less than significant impact to foraging Townsend's big -eared bats because the foraging habitat on the adjacent properties will continue to support abundant prey items for this species. The Project would cause an incremental increase in light pollution. While there is pre-existing light pollution from the residential areas surrounding the Project site, the BRA cites concerns over the Zinco project adding light pollution to bat foraging habitat to the north which could affect prey behavior. However, the City does not regulate lighting in residential zoning districts and considers this Project's onsite and offsite effects with regards to lighting to be less than significant. When considered in the context of the surrounding neighborhood and the City as a whole, this residential subdivision would not substantially alter the amount of light S-2022-02416/Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning 11 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study pollution on nearby habitat. While the BRA identifies impacts to the Townsend's big -eared bat, these impacts are considered to be less than significant. Nesting Birds: The Project will result in the removal of native blue oak and gray pine trees. Tree removal and construction activities during the nesting season (February 1 — August 31), such as tree removal and noise -generating construction activities that disturb a nesting bird or destroy active nests, could result in impacts to nesting birds. Implementation of Mitigation Measure MM -BIO -2 would reduce potential impacts on nesting birds to less than significant. b) The Project site is not adjacent to any lakes, rivers, or streams and does not contain any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Thus, no impact would occur and no mitigation is required. c) The wetlands delineation prepared for the Project identified four vernal wetland features totaling 0.18 acres. These areas contain deep rutting of the surface soil caused by mechanical clearing of vegetation and all -terrain vehicle off roading activity. The soil in the areas with vernal pools is Redding gravelly loam with a hardpan found to be at a depth of 11 inches deep. This hardpan causes water to perch and remain close to the surface in several areas on the property during the rainy season and into the spring. Vehicles have formed depressions in the topsoil above the hardpan which prevents water from draining laterally, creating pools. While the biological resource assessment ruled out the potential for special status vernal pool plant and animal species to occur onsite, these vernal pools are potentially Waters of the United States or, more likely, Waters of the State. The filling of these small, human -created, isolated shallow pools that do not have the potential to support special status species is considered a less than significant impact. However, the filling of Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State does require an agency permit which may include mitigation measures. Federal and State policies promote a no net loss of wetland resources. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, but a common approach is the purchase by the developer of mitigation credits at an established wetland mitigation bank. By law, the filling of Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) or the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The applicant would be required to do any mitigation required by one of those permits. While mitigation measures are not necessary for the purposes of this environmental. document, acquisition of the required permits will be a part of the Project's conditions of approval in addition to the law. d) No known established wildlife corridors or nursery sites occur within or in the vicinity of the site. Because the Project site is 750 feet away from the nearest riparian corridor, the Project would not inhibit wildlife movement along it. While the BRA discussed light pollution and its effects on nocturnal wildlife movement, as discussed above, the City does not regulate lighting in residential zoning districts and considers this Project's onsite and offsite effects with regards to lighting to be less than significant. When considered in the context of the surrounding neighborhood and the City as a whole, this residential subdivision would not substantially alter the amount of light pollution in the area. Furthermore, the only nocturnal special status animal species identified as having the potential to occur onsite is the Townsend's big -eared bat. This species is discussed in subsection "a" above and the Project is not expected to alter the bat's ability to move through the area. Impacts to wildlife corridors and nursery sites would be less than significant. e) In March of 2024 there were 144 trees on site with more than a 6 -inch diameter at breast height (DBH). On April 4, 2024 it was brought to the City's attention that unpermitted tree removal was occurring on the Project site. Staff visited the site and asked workers to cease all activity. Fifty-nine (59) trees over 6 -inches DBH had already been removed. This illegal tree removal violated Chapter 18.45, Tree Management, of the Redding Zoning Ordinance by removing the trees without a permit. Chapter 18.45, Tree Management, of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the applicable penalties for violations of Chapter 18.45. A monetary fine was issued in accordance with Chapter 18.45 and payment of this fine will remedy the violation in conformance with the City's tree management regulations. The Project proposes to save six of the remaining trees over 6 -inches DBH. The conditions of approval require a tree preservation plan be submitted with the final grading plan for all trees designated to be preserved. Because the prior illegal removal of trees is being resolved separately from this Project in accordance with the Municipal Code, and the Project has identified trees to be preserved with a tree preservation plan, the Project does not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. I) No habitat conservation plans or other similar plans have been adopted for the area of the Project site proposed for development. No impact would occur in this regard.

S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 14 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study Discussion: a, c, d) There are no Alquist-Priolo earthquake faults designated in the Redding area of Shasta County. There are no other documented earthquake faults in the immediate vicinity that pose a significant risk, and the site is located in an area designated in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan as having a low ground -shaking potential. The Project is not located on or near any documented landslide hazard areas, and there is no evidence of ground slippage or subsidence occurring naturally on the site. The type of soils and underlying geology are identified as having a low potential for liquefaction. No portion of the site falls within the 100 -year floodplain of the Sacramento River or any creek. b) The Project site contains two primary soil classifications: • Newtown gravelly loam, 30 to 50 percent slopes, eroded. This is a well -drained soil that formed in old alluvium from mixed sources. It generally supports grasses, forbs, oaks, shrubs, and grey pines. The areas of Newtown soils are used as range, dryland, pasture, wildlife habitat, and for watershed. Permeability is slow, runoff is rapid, and the hazard of further erosion is high. • Redding gravelly loam, 0 to 5 percent slopes, moist, MLRA 17. This is a well -drained soil that contains an indurated hardpan. They are underlain by old mixed alluvium. Supported vegetation includes annual grasses, forbs, manzanita, and blue oak. Below its acidic surface layer and subsoil is a layer of indurated very gravelly hardpan starting at a depth of about 13 inches. Stratified mixed alluvial material is about 15 inches below the hardpan. The Project is subject to certain erosion -control requirements mandated by existing City and State regulations. These requirements include: • City of Redding Grading Ordinance.

The City has not adopted a numerical significance threshold for assessing impacts related to GHG emissions. Similarly, neither S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 16 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study the SCAQMD, CARB, nor any other state or regional agency has yet adopted a numerical significance threshold for assessing GHG emissions that applies to the Project. Since there is no applicable adopted or accepted numerical threshold of significance for GHG emissions, the methodology for evaluating the Project's impacts related to GHG emissions focuses on its consistency with statewide, regional, and local plans adopted for the purpose of reducing and/or mitigating GHG emissions. This consistency with such pians is the sole basis for determining the significance of the Project's GHG-related impacts on the environment. The Project is consistent with policies of the GP that address lowering VMT through infill development, including but not limited to the following: • Prioritizing infill development. The Project is also consistent with the applicable Shasta Regional Transportation Agency's Regional Transportation Plan's goals, including: • Encouraging transportation -efficient growth and development where it is supported by current or planned mobility options. With regard to consistency with the California Air Resources Board's 2017 Scoping Plan, the Scoping Plan addresses a broad range of actions and strategies intended to reduce greenhouse gases such as increasing stringency of carbon fuel standards, adding additional zero -emission vehicles on the state's roadways, and similar broad-based programs which are not applicable to the Project. As demonstrated by the above and the analysis provided in the GP EIR, the Project complies with or exceeds the plans, policies, regulations and GHG reduction actions/strategies outlined in the GP, the SRTA RTP, and CARB's 2017 Scoping Plan. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing emissions of GHGs.

S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 17 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Discussion: Initial Study a -d) The nature of the Project as a single-family residential subdivision does not present a significant risk related to hazardous materials or emissions. There are no documented hazardous material sites located on or near the Project. e) The Project is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public airport or public use airport and would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the Project area. There would be no impact on public safety in this regard. f) The Project does not involve a use or activity that could interfere with emergency -response or emergency -evacuation plans for the area. g) While the Project site is located within the Very High Fire Severity Zone, the nature of the Project will require extensive grading and removal of trees and other natural fire fuels throughout the site to accommodate potential housing development. City and state ordinances require, for residential development with more than 49 units, multiple secondary access points. Secondary access points allow residents to safely remove themselves from potentially harmful or fatal situations involving fires. The Project has access to Lake Boulevard via Santa Rosa Way and to Keswick Dam Road via Deodar Way. Additionally, California Residential Building Code requires dwellings to be constructed using flame -resistant materials and include fire sprinklers within the dwelling and under the roof.

S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 18 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study Discussion: a) Since the Project would be served by City sanitary sewer service, the Project would not involve any permitted discharges of waste material into ground or surface waters. Construction and operation of the Project would not violate any water quality standards established by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) in its Basin Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins. Water pollution best management practices are required and will be incorporated into the improvement plans for the Project. The City's construction standards require that all projects prepare an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) prior to construction to address water pollution control. The SSCP will ensure that water quality standards are not substantially affected by the Project during construction. b) The Project would utilize City water service for domestic uses and fire protection. The proposed Project would not impact groundwater supplies. c) The Project is subject to standard requirements defined under Section VII, Geology and Soils, that minimize the potential for erosion or siltation on or off site. The final improvement plans for the Project must also incorporate specific design measures intended to limit pollutant discharges in stormwater from urban improvements as established under the State's National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) general permit, which the City is now obligated to follow in accordance with State Water Quality Control Order No. 2013-0001-DWQ. Feasible Best Management Practices (BMPs) would be incorporated in the final design of the Project's storm -drain system, as approved by the City Engineer, based on the BMPs listed in the latest edition of the California Storm Water Quality Association's Storm Water Best Management Practices Handbook. Policy 1806 requires that all subdivision development include stormwater detention facilities designed to maintain existing predevelopment rates of runoff during a 10-, 25-, and 100 -year storm event with a six -hour duration. The Project application includes a stormwater hydrology analysis prepared by Horrocks that concludes that the Zinco Project can manage the storm water runoff in a way that maintains or reduces pre -project runoff volumes in the post -Project condition as required by the City of Redding. The site discharges to both the Sulphur Creek Basin and the Boulder Creek Basin. For the drainage basin going to Sulphur Creek, on-site storm water will be directed, via surface flow and storm drain infrastructure, to a vegetated infiltration basin located in the northwest of the development. Outflow from the basin will be restricted to pre -Project levels and directed to an outlet control structure located at the northwest end of the Project which will allow stormwater to flow westerly, in line with the pre -development drainage pattern. For the drainage basin going to Boulder Creek, on-site storm water will be directed, via surface flow and storm drain infrastructure, to a vegetated infiltration basin located in the northeast of the development. Outflow from the basin will be restricted to pre-Proj ect levels and directed to Deodar by way of an under -sidewalk drain in line with the pre -development drainage pattern. d) The Project site is not located in a flood hazard, tsunami or seiche zone. e) The Project would not conflict with a water quality control plan or groundwater management pian.

X Discussion: Fire and Police Protection: The City would provide police and fire protection to the Project from existing facilities and under existing service levels. The size of the Project would not mandate the need for additional police or fire facilities. The Project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay a citywide fire facilities impact fee calculated to mitigate a project's fair share of cumulative impacts to the City's fire -protection infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City's General Plan. Schools. The Project is located in the Gateway Unified School District and may contribute to the total student enrollment in this district. However, a school -facility impact (in -lieu) fee exists, as provided under State law that is paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for each residential unit to address school -facility funding necessitated by the effects of growth citywide. Parks The Project will not cause a physical deterioration of an existing park facility or cause an adverse physical impact associated with a new park facility. The Project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new residential development to pay a citywide park and recreation -facilities impact fee calculated to mitigate a project's fair share of cumulative impacts to the City's parks and recreation infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City's General Plan.

Initial Study Discussion: a) The Project will not cause a physical deterioration of an existing recreation facility or cause an adverse physical impact associated with a new recreation facility. There are no neighborhood or regional parks in the vicinity of this Project. Residents do have the potential to utilize other parks within the City outside the vicinity of the Project. Recreational development fees are collected by the City at the time of issuance of a building permit to offset any impacts to regional park facilities and to raise funds to provide for new recreational facilities. There would not be any potentially significant impacts to recreation associated with the Project. b) The Project does not propose any recreational facilities or require construction or expansion of facilities. There would not be any potentially significant impacts to recreation associated with the Project.

Discussion: a) Access to the subdivision would be derived from Deodar Way. While Deodar Way has reduced right-of-way width directly adjacent 5-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 23 Less -Than- Less - Less -Than- No XVIL TRANSPORTATION: Would the project: Significant Significant with Significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporated a) Conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and X pedestrian facilities? b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section X 15064.3, Subdivision (b)? c) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible X uses (e.g., farm equipment)? d) Result in inadequate emergency access? X Discussion: a) Access to the subdivision would be derived from Deodar Way. While Deodar Way has reduced right-of-way width directly adjacent 5-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 23 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Initial Study to the Project site, the City's Traffic Engineer has determined that the number of average vehicle trips that would be generated with development of the Project would not trigger any requirements with regard to widening this right-of-way. The City's Fire Marshall has also concurred that adequate street width exists for emergency access. a) The General Plan Environmental Impact Report concluded this impact to be less than significant. The analysis conducted for the EIR found that the forecasted rate of VMT per resident under Year 2045 conditions with GP would not exceed the established regional threshold as the VMT rate per resident will be below the established 15.6 VMT per resident. This finding is consistent with the 2018 RTP/SCS, which noted that Redding has the lowest rate of VMT per capita in Shasta County, and the shortest average trip lengths in the County, reflecting the proximity of homes, jobs and services within Redding. The number and type of dwelling units and therefore projected traffic generated by the Project is consistent with the assumptions made for Traffic Analysis Zone number 550 (TAZ) used in the Shasta SIMM model to evaluate the VMT impacts of the General Plan. The Project will not conflict with CEQA guidelines section 15064.3(b). b) The new streets proposed with the Project do not include sharp curves or dangerous intersections. Such hazardous design features are not proposed by or required from the Project. The site is in an area zoned for residential development. The entering and exiting of vehicles such as cars, pickup trucks, and recreational vehicles is an existing condition that is expected for this area. While the intersection of Jordan Lane and Deodar Way includes non-standard dimensions, this is an existing condition without significant nexus and proportionality to require the Project to fix it. No significant increase in transportation related hazards is expected. c) Access to the site is provided by way of Jordan Lane via Deodar Way. The Redding Fire Marshal has deemed this to be adequate access for emergency vehicles and fire protection.

TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project cause a Significant Significant with Significant Impact substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, Impact Mitigation Impact defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, Incorporated place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical X Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported X by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024. 1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 24 City of Redding Development Services Department Planning Division Discussion: Initial Study a, b) The Project was referred to the appropriate tribal entities and no request for consultation was received. The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) did a record search of their Sacred Lands File (SLF) and generated a negative result for the presence of specific -site information. Because the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area, Flowra contacted Native American tribes from a list provided by NAHC who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the Project area. Contact was attempted with all contacts provided on that list and no response was received. Project effects with regard to tribal cultural resources are expected to be less than significant. Documentation: Letters sent to Redding Rancheria, the Wintu Tribe of Northern California, and Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, dated April 24, 2023. Archaeological Inventory Survey, Flowra, February, 2023 Mitigation: None necessary. Discussion: a) The proposed development does not generate the need for relocation or construction of new or expanded water or wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities. b) Potable water is available from the City to serve the Project with adequate pressure and flows for fire suppression. The demands of the Project can be accommodated within the City's existing water resources. Sufficient water supplies are available to serve the Project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. c) The Project will utilize the City's sanitary sewer system to dispose of wastewater. Adequate sewer capacity and wastewater treatment are available in the City's existing system. d) The Project would not generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment S-2022-02416/Zino Subdivision and Rezoning 25 Potentially Less -Than- Less -Than- No XIX.

Discussion: a) While the Project is located within a mapped very high fire severity zone, it would not impair an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The subdivision has access to Keswick Dam Road to the north via Deodar Way and access to Lake Boulevard via Deodar Way and Santa Rosa Way. b) The Project will be graded to facilitate the construction of the subdivision and will be cleared of most fire fuel on-site. Maintenance of the vegetation surrounding the Project site is and would continue to be the responsibility of the neighboring property owners. The development of the subdivision, along with its associated improvements, will make the existing neighborhood less susceptible to fire risk by removing fire fuel and adding non-combustible surfaces such as pavement. There is no identified factor that would exacerbate wildfire risks or expose Project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire. c) All utilities associated with the Project would be placed underground where they do not pose a fire risk. No generators or outdoor fuel tanks are proposed with the Project as the development would be required to connect to City utilities. The Project would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure that could exacerbate wildfire risks. d) The Project would not expose people or structures to downstream flooding or landslides. The Project site is relatively flat and does not contain any waterways. Because of this, it is less likely to be susceptible to post -fire slope instability or drainage changes.

Mitigation Measures MM -BIO -I and MM -13I0-2 are established to reduce potential impacts to less than significant. The Project has the potential to degrade wildlife habitat in general due to erosion and sedimentation resulting from grading and construction of Project infrastructure. However, the Project conditions as identified under Hydrology/Water Quality have been established to reduce potential impacts to a level less than significant. b) As discussed in Item III, the Project will contribute to regionwide cumulative air quality impacts. However, under policy of the General Plan, application of Standard Mitigation Measures (SMMs) and Best Available Mitigation Measures (BAMMS) will reduce potential impacts from this Project to a level less than significant. c) As discussed herein, the Project does not have characteristics which could cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Mitigation: MM -11I0-1: The applicant shall have a pre -construction rare plant survey of the proposed disturbance area or other Project features that may impact special status species of the Project site conducted by a qualified botanist during the appropriate survey window (blooming period) for rare and endangered plants that have the potential to occur within the Project site if such a survey has not been provided to the City.

This report includes a project description incorporating proposed conservation measures, study methods, regulatory framework, description of the affected environment, and description of project impacts on sensitive resources. Past biological review for the project site was conducted by Wildland Resource Managers in October 2022 and July 2024. This initial biological review of the project included two reports: the Zinco Property Biological Review report (October 2022) and an Updated Zinco Biological Review report (July 2024). Comments received .in response to public review of the first report identified inadequacies in the report regarding the potential for rare plants and wetlands to be present onsite. The updated report, prepared in July 2024, was prepared in response to these comments. The purpose of the updated report was to address these comments and to describe the condition of the oak woodland onsite following removal of 66 oak trees, but .it did not provide a conclusive assessment of project related impacts. The updated report states that a blue oak woodland is present following the tree removal. The updated report also stated that no wetland features were observed during their July 2024 site visit but includes the locations of potential vernal pools. The past biological reports were found to be inadequate for the purposes of environmental review. This BRA provides a description of current baseline site conditions and provides an assessment of project impacts to special status biological resources. This BRA also includes an assessment of wetland features on the property. 1.1 Project Description The proposed project includes the development of a neighborhood subdivision on a 4.66 -acre site. The site location is included as Figure 1. The proposed site layout from Horrocks Engineers is included as Appendix A. The proposed project includes subdivision of the two existing parcels into eighteen smaller parcels. New lots would range in size from 126 to 127 feet by 65 to70 feet. Sites will be prepared by clearing the land of vegetation (except for six mature oak trees), .installing utilities, grading lots, and road development. No construction of buildings is proposed in the site plan. A 60 -foot wide paved road with a cul-de-sac will be constructed for access to the lots. 1.2 Site Description The site is located at 3150 and 3152 Jordan Lane, Redding, California 96003. The site consists of two City of Redding parcels identified by Assessor Parcel Nos: 114-050-005 and 114-050-006. The parcels are 2.16 acres and 2.5 acres .in size, totaling 4.66 acres. The general site location is shown on Figure 1. P:AProjects\2024\72457.

Precipitation primarily occurs as rain and annual rainfall is approximately 34 inches. Air temperatures range between an average January high of 55 degrees Fahrenheit CF) and an average July high of 98°F. The year-round average high is approximately 75°F (Western Regional Climate Center 2006). 2.2 Soi is Soils within the survey area were determined through consultation with the National Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Web Soil Survey. The most dominant soil type within the survey area is Redding gravelly loam, 0 to 5 percent slopes, moist. The typical profile of this soil series has a depth to restrictive feature of more than eighty inches, with a duripan present at between 10 and 30 inches in depth. The soil resource report .is included as Appendix B. 2.3 Vegetation Communities Vegetation within the survey area was identified through consultation with the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) followed by a reconnaissance survey during which vegetation communities were identified according to A Manual of California Vegetation (Sawyer et al. 2009). CWHR states that the dominant vegetation community onsite is mixed chaparral which may have occurred prior to removal of trees and shrubs from the property. The reconnaissance survey determined that Blue Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance is now present onsite. The area shown as Barren was found to support several oak trees and is a part of the oak woodland community. A CWHR map of the survey area and surrounding environment is included as Figure 2. 2.3.1 Blue Oak Woodland and Forest This habitat observed onsite consists of the Blue Oak Woodland and Forest Alliance. Dominant species observed were blue oak (Quercus don glassii) and foothill pine (Pinus sabiniana) with a sparse understory of manzanita (Arctostaphylos sp.), toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), and poison oak (Toxicodendron diversoilobum). Introduced annual grasses and fortis comprise the understory plant community. The herbaceous species observed were wild oats (Avena fatua), rattlesnake grass (Bri.Za maxima), little rattlesnake grass (Bri.Za minor), and brome (Bromus sp.). Annual forb identification was limited due to the time of year when the survey was completed. Photographs of the oak woodland habitat onsite are shown in Figure 3 to Figure 5. Dirt roads resulting from public use since prior to 1998, as observed via Google Earth aerial imagery, have resulted .in fragmented mature stands of Blue Oak Woodland habitat with heavily disturbed soils within the survey area. As CWHR suggests, the habitat may once have been mixed chapparal, but years of disturbance have transitioned the site to what is now fragmented oak woodlands. P:AProjects\2024\72457.

Recently removed trees and shrubs, existing roads visible 2.4 Wetlands The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory Wetlands Mapper (Figure 6) shows no aquatic resources within the survey area. Sulphur Creek, an intermittent stream, exists approximately 750 feet west of the survey area The Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation procedure finds that the presence of three indicators means that surface water is present in sufficient quantity and duration to form a wetland. The three indicators are: hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and hydrology. All three indicators must be present to confirm that a wetland is present. On October 8, 2024, the property was assessed by VESTRA for wetland vegetation or hydrology indicators within any topographic low points onsite, including tire ruts caused by historic vehicle and equipment access during the wet season. A formal wetland delineation was not completed; therefore, a complete soil investigation was not performed. On the eastern parcel (APN 114-050-005), indicators which warranted closer inspection were observed in the northeast quadrant of the parcel. Hydrology indicators and hydrophytic plant species were observed in this area where small depressions are present (Figure 7). One "facultative wetland" plant species, dwarf woolyheads (Psilocarphus brevissimus), was identifiable within fire ruts and other natural depressions on the ground (Figure 8). No other vegetation was present. The presence of these indicators suggests that a small emergent wetland or vernal pool could be present. According to the project site plan (Appendix .A), parcels in this location as well as the bioretention cell could overlap with the potential wetland feature on the eastern parcel.

Evidence of repeated disturbance to the ground and vegetation in this area can be observed in Google Earth aerial imagery dating back to the 1990s (Appendix C). During the reconnaissance survey, an unknown vehicle was observed driving across the area. The tire tracks and ruts have caused varied depth across the feature; the deepest point is roughly four inches, and most of the feature is shallower at around 1 to 2 inches. The current site conditions are likely remnant from a historic wetland which is now degraded from decades of disturbance. A wetland delineation would be needed to determine the boundary of the wetland feature. P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 2.5 Special -Status Biological Resources 2.5.1 Special -Status Plants Special -status plant species include plants that are (1) designated as rare by CDFW or USFWS or are listed as threatened or endangered under the California Endangered Species Act (CES.A) or ESA; (2) proposed for designation as rare or listing as threatened or endangered; (3) designated as state or federal candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered; and/or (4) ranked as California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) 1A, 113, 2A, 213, or 3. A list of regionally occurring special - status plant species was compiled based on a review of pertinent literature, the results of the reconnaissance survey, a review of the USFWS species list, a 5 mile radius search of the CNDDB, and a nine -quad search of CNPS database records. The CNDDB query for listed species within five miles of the project area is included in Appendix D. The habitat and ecological requirements of each special -status plant species were evaluated and compared to the known habitat types in, or in the immediate vicinity, of the study area to assess the potential for occurrence. 2.5.2 Special -Status Animals Special -status animal species include species that are (1) listed as threatened or endangered under the CESA or the ESA; (2) proposed for federal listing as threatened or endangered; (3) .identified as state or federal candidates for listing as threatened or endangered; and/or (4) identified by the CDFW as Species of Special Concern or California Fully Protected Species. A list of regionally occurring special -status wildlife species was compiled based on a review of pertinent literature and consultations with the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (iPAC) database and California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) database records, and a query of the California Wildlife Habitats Relationship (CWHR) system. The habitat and ecological requirements of each special -status species were evaluated and compared to the known habitat types in, or in the immediate vicinity, of the study area to assess the potential for suitable habitat or occurrence. 2.5.3 Sensitive Natural Communities Natural communities considered sensitive are those identified as (1) "threatened" or "very threatened" by CDFW and listed on CNDDB; and/or (2) natural communities evaluated using NatureServe's Heritage Methodology with ranks of S1 -S3 or sensitive. 2.5.4 Critical Habitat The ESA defines critical habitat to include specific and formally designated geographic areas that are occupied and unoccupied by the species at the time of listing. To be designated as critical habitat, occupied areas must contain physical or biological features that are essential to the species' conservation and may require special management. Unoccupied areas must be "essential for the conservation of the species." Critical habitat is listed on the iPAC database and mapped on the CNDDB database. P:AProjects\2024\72457. Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 6 3.0 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section describes the federal and state regulation of special -status species, waters of the United States, and other sensitive biological resources. 3.1 Federal Regulations 3.1.1 Federal Endangered Species Act Section 9 of the federal Endangered Species .Act of 1973 (ESA) prohibits acts that result in the "take" of threatened or endangered species. As defined by the federal ESA, "endangered" refers to any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its current range. The term "threatened" is applied to any species likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its current range. "Take" is defined as "harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or attempt to engage .in any such conduct." Sections 7 and 10 of the federal ESA provide methods for permitting otherwise lawful actions that may result in "incidental take" of a federally listed species. Incidental take refers to take of a listed species that is incidental to, but not the primary purpose of, an otherwise lawful activity. Incidental take is permitted under Section 7 for projects on federal land or involving a federal action; Section 10 provides a process for non-federal actions. The act is administered by the USFWS for terrestrial species. 3.1.2 Clean Water Act The objective of the Clean Water Act (1977, as amended) is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters. Discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, including jurisdictional wetlands, is regulated by the Corps under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1251-1376) under a permitting process. Applicants for Section 404 permits are also required to obtain water quality certification or waiver through the local Regional Water Quality Control Board under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1341). Corps regulations implementing Section 404 define waters of the United States to include intrastate waters, .including lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and natural ponds, the use, degradation, or destruction of which could affect .interstate or foreign commerce. Wetlands are defined for regulatory purposes as "areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" (33 CFR 328.3; 40 CFR 230.3). To comply with the Corps policy of no net loss of wetlands, discharge into wetlands must be avoided and minimized to the extent practicable. For unavoidable impacts, compensatory mitigation is typically required to replace the loss of wetland functions in the watershed. 3.1.3 Migratory Bird Treaty Act Migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (NIBTA) of 1918 (16 USC 703- 711). The MBTA makes .it unlawful to take, possess, buy, sell, purchase, or barter any migratory bird listed in 50 CFR Part 10, including feathers or other parts, nests, eggs, or products, except as P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx allowed by implementing regulations (50 CFR 21). Mitigation measures can be identified to avoid or minimize adverse effects on migratory birds. 3.2 State Regulatory Requirements 3.2.1 California Endangered Species Act The California Endangered Species Act lists species of plants and animals as threatened or endangered. Projects that may have adverse effects on state -listed species require formal consultation with CDFW. "Take" of protected species incidental to otherwise lawful activities may be authorized under Section 2081 of the California Fish and Game Code. Authorization from the CDFW is in the form of an Incidental Take Permit, and measures can be identified to minimize take. CDFW Species of Special Concern are considered under the California Endangered Species Act. 3.2.2 Birds of Prey Under Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code, it is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders of Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds of prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird, except as otherwise provided by this code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. 3.2.3 Migratory Birds The California Fish and Game Code Section 3513 states that it is unlawful to take or possess any Migratory nongame bird as designated in the MBTA or any part of such migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the MBTAA. 3.2.4 Fully Protected Species California statutes also accord "fully protected" status to a number of specifically identified birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. These species cannot be "taken," even with an incidental take permit (California Fish and Game Code, Sections 3505, 3511, 4700, 5050, and 5515). 3.3 Local Regulatory Requirements - Local Tree Protection The study area occurs within the City of Redding. The proposed park expansion involves the removal of certain native to accommodate the construction of the park facility. To comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, the City of Redding tree ordinance would be applicable. The City of Redding Municipal Code (Chapter 18.45 -Tree Management) intent and objectives are to: • Protect and enhance the aesthetic qualities of the community provided by native and nonnative trees; • Promote a healthy and attractive urban landscape as the community grows; P:AProjects\2024\72457. Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01.124.docx • Recognize the importance of trees as a visual and physical buffer; • Preserve the City's valuable natural features; • Require the replacement of trees that are removed, where appropriate; • Establish a program for the planting of trees in new developments; and • Protect trees on undeveloped properties until such time as a development plan/building permit is approved. To achieve these goals, the City of Redding may require that a tree removal permit be obtained prior to removal of trees on vacant/undeveloped lands. Section 18.45.030 states that "No tree, regardless of species, that exceeds six inches DBH [diameter at breast height] on any developed or undeveloped/vacant property in the city shall be destroyed, killed, or removed unless a tree removal permit is first obtained under the provisions of this chapter...".

Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 9 4.0 BIOLOGICAL RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY 4.1 Pre -Survey Review Special -status plant and animal species and sensitive habitats that have the potential to occur within the survey area were determined, in part, by reviewing agency databases, literature, and other relevant sources. The following .information sources were reviewed to aid this determination: • Redding, California, USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle; • Aerial photography of the survey area and vicinity; • The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) official list of endangered and threatened species that may occur, or be affected by projects, as provided by the Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office (Project Code 2025-0000902), included as Appendix E; • The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) (California Department of Fish and Wildlife 2024a) records for the Redding, California USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle and the eight surrounding quadrangles, included as Appendix E; • The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants (California Native Plant Society 2015) records for the Redding, California USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle and the eight surrounding quadrangles; • California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) System (California Department of Fish and Game 2023). • GIS shapefiles of designated critical habitat from the USFWS Critical Habitat Portal website; • CDFW publications including State and Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened and Rare Plants of California (CDFW 2024b); State and Federally Listed and Threatened Animals of California (CDFW 2024c); and Special Animals List (CDFW 2024d); and • Pertinent biological literature including Bird Species of Special Concern in California (Shuford and Gardah 2008). 4.2 Survey Methods A pedestrian reconnaissance survey was completed to determine the vegetation communities onsite and identify any habitat that may support special -status plants or wildlife within 200 feet of the survey area. The pedestrian survey was completed by two VESTRA biologists on October 8, 2024. A Trimble Geo XT Explorer 6000, Nikon P530 camera, and binoculars were used to aid in the survey. The survey was completed within the two parcels by walking intuitive transects spaced between fifteen and fifty feet apart, which was acceptable for achieving complete visual coverage of the site due the open, flat terrain. Access outside of the project area was limited to accessible public easements but visual coverage was adequate to determine the surrounding vegetation types. Focused searches were conducted for species-specific habitat features on the property during the reconnaissance survey, including bat roost habitat(e.g. crevices in trees), monarch butterfly habitat P:\Projects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1011.24.docx 10 (milkweed plants), and Valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB) habitat (elderberry shrubs) throughout the project area. The entire property was surveyed for elderberry (Sambucus sp.) shrubs and native milkweed (Asclepias sp.) plants during the pedestrian transects. Then, each oak tree on the property was assessed for the presence of bat roost features, such as crevices, entry/exit holes, and missing or broken limbs. All observed species were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible outside of flowering season. Species present were used to define vegetation communities to the Alliance level according to the Manual of California Vegetation. 4.3 Survey Results A detailed species list of all botanical and wildlife species encountered during the reconnaissance survey is included below. No special -status species were observed during the reconnaissance survey. Site conditions during the survey were hotter than average for a fall day. Weather was clear and sunny with no precipitation. Recent hot conditions resulted in extremely dry conditions onsite. The ambient temperature was 88 degrees Fahrenheit (F) during the survey. The following wildlife species were observed within the survey area: • American robin (Tardus migratorius) • Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus) • Western fence lizard ('celoporus occidentalis) • Deer scat (Odocoileus sp.) The following plant species were observed within the survey area: • Blue oak (Quercus douglassia) • Manzanita (Arctostapbylos sp.) • Poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) • Wild oats (Arena fatua) • Rattlesnake grass (Bri.Za maxima) • Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) • Gray pine (Pinus sabiniana) • Dwarf woolyheads (Psilocarpbus brevissimus) • Chaparral honeysuckle (Lonicera interrupta) • Live oak Quercus wis#.Zeni� • Centaurea sp. • Bromus sp. • Aster sp. The health and location of all oak trees greater than five inches diameter at breast height was assessed by Wildland Resource Managers in October 2022. The number of trees onsite has since been reduced. An Existing Site and Tree Map created by Horrocks is included as Appendix A. P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 11 5.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The thresholds for determining the significance of impacts for this analysis are based on the environmental checklist in the 2024 CEQA Guidelines. The proposed project would result in a significant impact related to biological resources if they would do any of the following: • 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 CDFW or USFWS; • Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS; • Have a substantial adverse effect on State or federally protected wetlands (including but not limited to marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means; • 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; • Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance; or • Conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP, natural community conservation plan, or other approved local, regional, or state HCP. 5.1 Special -Status Species The regionally occurring special -status species identified during the desktop review were assessed based on the potential for their habitat to occur within the project area. The determination of whether the species is likely to occur within the project area is summarized in Table 1. Species with habitat requirements that are not present onsite were determined to be unlikely to occur and are not discussed further. Based on this assessment, four species may occur within the project location. The potential project impacts to these species are discussed below. Of the species assessed, the following have the potential to occur within the project area: • Townsend's Big -Eared Bat (Corynorhinus townsendiz) • Redding Checkerbloom (Sidalcea celata) • Dubious Pea (Lathyrus su0bureus Par. argillaceus) • Henderson's Bent Grass (Agrostis hendersonii� P:AProjects\2024\72457.

This bat is distinguished by its bilateral nose bumps and large ears (WBWG 2022). This bat requires large cavities for roosting; these may include abandoned buildings and mines, caves, and basal cavities of trees. During the summer, males and females occupy separate roosting sites; males are typically solitary, while females form maternity colonies, where they raise their pups. Maternity colonies typically form between March and June, with a single pup born each year (WBWG 2022). A maternity colony may range in size from twelve to 200 bats in the western populations. Like other bats, this species hibernates in the winter when temperatures fall below roughly fifty degrees in the daytime. No maternity roost or winter hibernacula habitat for this species occurs onsite because there are no caves or buildings onsite. There is potential for a Townsend's big -eared bat to forage in vegetated areas onsite because it abuts to undisturbed oak woodland to the northwest of the site, which likely provides foraging habitat for the species. Redding Checkerbloom Sidalcea Cela to This species is ranked as "3" by the California Rare Plant Ranking (CRPR), meaning that the necessary information to assign the species a "1" or "2" rank .is lacking. According to Calflora, a nearby occurrence of ten individuals of this species was discovered May 11, 2023, approximately 0.75 miles south of site in similar habitat, although in apparently less disturbed conditions. The Redding checkerbloom is a perennial herb occurring in cismontane woodland or open oak woodland between elevations of 150-370 meters. Therefore, there is potential habitat within the project area underneath the blue oak canopy where undisturbed vegetation remains. Dubious Pea Lathyrus sulphureus var. argillaceus Dubious pea is a perennial vine -like herb that is occurs in cismontane woodlands, lower montane coniferous forests, upper montane coniferous forests between 500 feet and 3000 meters elevation in Calaveras, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Shasta and Tehama counties. This species is ranked as "3" by the CRPR, and therefore should therefore be considered during CEQA processes. The nearest and most recent records of this species occur .in Redding in Shasta County .in 1911 and near Rosewood in Tehama County .in 1899. Therefore, records of previous occurrences are not reliable for determining the current distribution of this subspecies. There is potential habitat within the project area underneath the blue oak canopy where undisturbed vegetation remains. Henderson's Bent Grass Agrostis hende.rsonii Henderson's bent grass is an annual grass native to northern California and Oregon. This species usually inhabits vernal pool and swale habitats, but it can also be found in moist areas .in annual grasslands. It is associated with valley grasslands and ephemeral wetlands, and sometimes with riparian understory communities. This species is ranked as "3.2" by the CRPR. The wetland feature located onsite could provide habitat for Henderson's bent grass. P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 18 5.2 Potential Impacts to Listed Wildlife Species One special status wildlife species, Townsend's big -eared bat, has the potential to occur in the project area. Although no maternity roost habitat exists, there is potential foraging habitat onsite and in the adjacent oak woodland to the northwest of the site. The development of the project site would cause a less than significant impact to foraging Townsend's big -eared bats because the foraging habitat on the adjacent properties will continue to support abundant prey items for this species. The proposed development would lead to residential development onsite. In general, such development causes a long-term increase in noise and light levels. Light sources may occur at crepuscular hours when bats are typically foraging. While lighting will not .interfere with echolocation for prey capture, .it has the potential to .impact prey behavior because prey items such as moths and nocturnal insects are drawn to light. There is pre-existing light and noise disturbance from the residential areas surrounding the project site. However, light pollution to the north could cause a localized light pollution to their potential offsite foraging habitat. Measures listed in Section 6.4 would reduce light pollution so that impacts to bat foraging habitat is less than significant. 5.3 Potential Impacts to Listed Plant Species Blue oak woodland can provide habitat for two of the potentially occurring plant species: dubious pea and Redding checkerbloom. Therefore, there is potential habitat within the project area underneath the blue oak canopy where undisturbed vegetation remains. Although the survey was conducted outside of the flowering period, no dubious pea, or closely related pea (Lathyrus sp.), was observed during the survey in the vegetative state. The Redding checkerbloom was not observed during the reconnaissance survey which was conducted outside of its flowering season. There is potential habitat onsite for this species in the areas within the blue oak woodland onsite. Although the reconnaissance survey was conducted outside of the flowering period, the site was visually scanned for these perennial species in the vegetative state, and neither species was observed. Protocol -level surveys would be required to definitively determine whether these species are present within the potential habitat areas. The wetland feature onsite could provide habitat for one potentially occurring rare plant species, Henderson's bent grass. This species .is an annual grass which .is difficult to identify after .its growing and flowering period have long passed. The grading, paving, and ultimate development of the project site could lead to direct removal of Redding checkerbloom, dubious pea, or Henderson's bent grass plants. The completion of surveys and either avoidance or mitigation would reduce project impacts to these species. Project impacts to rare plants would be minimized or avoided by implementation of measures listed in Section 6.1 such that impacts are less than significant with mitigation. 5.4 Potential Impacts to Nesting Birds The project will result in the removal of native blue oak and gray pine trees. Tree removal and construction activities during the nesting season (February 1 —.August 31), such as tree removal P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 19 and noise -generating construction activities that disturb a nesting bird or destroy active nests, could result in impacts to nesting birds. Implementation of the conservation measures described in Section 6.3 would reduce potential impacts on nesting birds such that there are no impacts to nesting birds with mitigation. 5.5 Potential Impacts to Rare Natural Communities and Sensitive Habitats In addition to inventorying reported occurrences of special -status species, the CNDDB serves to inventory the locations of rare natural communities. Communities respond to environmental changes and can be thought of as an indicator of the overall health of an ecosystem and its component species. Rare natural communities are those communities that are of highly limited distribution. They may or may not contain rare, threatened, or endangered species. The CNDDB ranks natural communities according to their rarity and endangerment in California. According to CNDDB, two sensitive habitats occur within five miles of the survey area: Great Valley Cottonwood Riparian Forest and Great Valley Oak Riparian Forest. The reconnaissance survey found that no Great Valley Cottonwood Riparian Forest and Great Valley Valley Oak Riparian Forest occur onsite. Therefore, no impacts to these rare or sensitive natural communities would occur. The Blue Oak Woodland Alliance is rated as S4, which is not a Sensitive Natural Community. None of the Associations listed as "sensitive" are present onsite. 5.6 Potential Impacts to Critical Habitat There is no U.S. Fish and Wildlife designated Critical Habitat within the survey area. No impact. 5.7 Potential Impacts to Wildlife Corridors and Nursery Sites A project would have a significant impact if it would interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors. No known established wildlife corridors or nursery sites occur within or in the vicinity of the survey area. The development of several residences on an undisturbed property will alter the accessibility of the site to common wildlife species, such as black tailed deer. However, the project site is surrounded by fenced residential development. In general, riparian corridors provide corridors for wildlife dispersal and migration. The project site is 750 feet away from the nearest riparian corridor. Therefore, the project would not inhibit wildlife movement along the riparian corridor. Undisturbed oak woodland exists adjacent to the northwest corner of the property. Impacts to wildlife movement, particularly nocturnal wildlife, can result from the increase in light and noise from the long-term use of the site for residential purposes. Wildlife .in the area .is likely tolerant of residential noises, because of the prevalence of residences in the immediate area. Light pollution to the surrounding woodland would be avoided by implementing measures in Section 6.4. Therefore, impacts to nocturnal wildlife movement would be less than significant. P:AProjects\2024\72451 Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_101124.docx 20 Bat Maternity Roosts No evidence of bat maternity roost habitat was found onsite. In general, bats may utilize crevices inside of trees for maternity roosts and/or winter hibernacula. The Z.inco Subdivision Project activities will include removal of trees from within the survey area. Ecological requirements for bat roosts, including maternity roosts, require an appropriate thermal gradient, shelter from predators, and proximity to foraging sites. Trees can provide this habitat inside of large crevices caused by natural limb damage or created by other wildlife. The trees onsite were inspected for the presence of cavities and entrance/exit holes. None of the trees onsite exhibit roost habitat features. According to the CNDDB, the survey area is characterized as "Low" quality habitat for the Townsend's big -eared bat. There are no buildings or structures onsite that would provide roost habitat for the Townsend's big -eared bat. Therefore, no impacts to their maternity roosts would occur. 5.8 Potential Impacts to Wetlands/Waters of the State The habitat within the depressions onsite resembles vernal pool habitat based on hydrology indicators and a hydrophytic plant species, although the features lack adequate depth and hydrology to support many of the species typically associated with healthy vernal pools (Table 1). The current site conditions are likely remnant from a historic wetland which is now degraded from decades of disturbance. A protocol -level wetland delineation would be required to determine the current presence and extent of the wetlands onsite. Impacts to wetlands will be avoided or mitigated for in accordance with conservation measures outlined in Section 6.2. With the implementation of these measures, impacts to wetlands will be less than significant. 5.9 Compliance with Habitat and Natural Community Conservation Plans The project area does not occur within the boundaries of any existing Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) or Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs). 5.10 Compliance with Local Policies and Ordinances The project proponent will ensure that the proposed project would comply with the respective land management policies that apply the City of Redding. The primary purposes of the City of Redding's Tree Ordinance (Chapter 18.45 of the Zoning Code) are: 1) the preservation of existing native and nonnative trees where feasible; 2) the replacement or transplanting of trees removed where appropriate; and 3) the planting of new trees in location, number and kind compatible with local conditions. Trees within the study area maybe subject to the City of Redding tree ordinance. The project area encompasses several mature native blue oak trees. These may be considered "candidate trees" that would be subject to further evaluation to determine if any of these trees are appropriate for protection per Section 18.45.070 of the City of Redding Municipal Code. P:AProjects\2024\72457. Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 21 The removal of blue oak trees from the project area would result in the loss of foraging habitat for certain oak woodland -dependent species, such as .Acorn woodpecker (Melanerj�es formicivorus) and Western grey squirrel (Sciurusgriseus) but would not result in take of any special -status species with implementation of measures listed in Section 6.0. P:AProjects\2024\72457. Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 22 6.0 RECOMMENDED CONSERVATION MEASURES The following conservation measures, Best Management Practices (BMPs), and project features will be incorporated into the project in order to avoid and minimize the potential environmental impacts from construction and long-term operation of the proposed facility: 6.1 Botanical Resources • A Qualified Biologist shall conduct botanical surveys during the appropriate blooming period and conditions for all special -status plants that have the potential to occur prior to the start of construction. Surveys shall be conducted following CDFW's 2018 Protocol for Surveying and Evaluating %acts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Sensitive Natural Communities. If any special -status plant species are observed, the Project shall fully avoid the .individuals by implementing a 15 -foot buffer around the plant(s). If the area cannot be avoided, a mitigation plan shall be developed and approved by CDFW prior to disturbance. Mitigation plans can propose to do one or more of the following: (A) relocate the plants from the site, (B) restore habitat onsite (following construction) or at an appropriate offsite location, (C) protect of an offsite population by purchasing credits at a mitigation bank. 6.2 Wetlands/Waters of the State • Prior to discharge of fill into a wetland, all required permits and authorizations shall be obtained from the Corps and/or RWQCB. All terms and conditions contained with the permits and authorizations shall be met. • Permanent loss of wetlands that are waters of the State shall be offset by purchasing mitigation credits at an approved mitigation bank at the ratio required by the Army Corps or RWQCB. 6.3 Nesting Birds • The general nesting season for songbirds and raptors in the project area is February 1 - August 31. If possible, vegetation removal will occur outside the nesting season to avoid impacts to nesting birds. • If vegetation removal will occur during the nesting season for birds then a qualified biologist must conduct preconstruction surveys within seven days before vegetation removal activities begin. If nesting birds are found, then CDFW shall be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer recommended by the qualified biologist shall be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. The buffer will depend on species and conservation status as well as site conditions and will consider noise and line -of. -sight disturbances. Vegetation removal/construction may not resume within the buffer until the young have left the nest as confirmed by the qualified biologist. P:AProjects\2024\72457. Zinco Subdivision\BRA\_Zinco Jordan Lane Subdivision BRA_1.01124.docx 23 6.4 Nocturnal Wildlife Illumination from the facility will be directed downward to contain light such that the construction activities or ongoing operations of the facility do not cause light pollution to the surrounding area, particularly to the undisturbed oak woodland located northwest of the site. Construction will be limited to daytime hours to avoid interference with bat echolocation or foraging behavior. P:AProjects\2024\72457.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including famnero, ranchere, foneotero, agronomiots, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, orenhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information iointended tohelp the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations onvarious land uses. The landowner oruser isresponsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://wwvvnrco.usda.gov/wps/porta|/nrce/detai|/aoi|a/contmctue/? oid=nroo142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet nrsubject toflooding. Some are too unstable tnbeused aoa foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements orunderground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey ioejoint effort ofthe United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated perindica||y.

Custom Soil Resource Report Map Unit Legend (Zinco Subdivision) Map Unit Descriptions (Zinco Subdivision) The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the 0 Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Acres in AOI Percent of AOI NeE2 Newtown gravelly loam, 30 to 0.6 10.1% 50 percent slopes, eroded RdA Redding gravelly loam, 0 to 5 5.3 89.9% percent slopes, moist, MLRA 17 Totals for Area of Interest 5.9 100.0% Map Unit Descriptions (Zinco Subdivision) The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area.

The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the 0 Custom Soil Resource Report development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et sea.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) Prqect code: 2025 0000902 10/02/2024,1,6:33:33 UT (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws. gov/sites/defaultlfiles/documents/endangered-species-consultation- handbook.pdf Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation- migratory-birds. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act.

PRELIMINARY DRANAGE REPORT Preliminary Project and Analysis Overview The project site, comprised of 3150 and 3250 Jordan Lane (APNs: 114-050-005 & 114-050-006), is located in Northeast Redding at the intersection of Jordan Lane and Deodar Way. The developer proposes to construct a 16 lot subdivision with 8 lots in RS3.5 and 8 lots in RM -6. The site encompasses approximately 4.45 acres, with the westerly 3.42 acres generally sloping northwest to the adjacent parcel and the easterly 1.03 acres draining to the northeast to Deodar Lane. The soil is described primarily as Redding gravelly loam with a small portion of the site being Newtown gravelly loam, with grades between 0 and 1 percent. From the City of Redding City -Wide Master Storm Drain Study, the site discharges in both the Sulphur Creek Basin and the Boulder Creek Basin. For this project, the analysis will look to restrict storm water discharge to pre -development levels in both the Boulder Creek Basin and Sulphur Creek basins. To reflect the pre -development discharges to both basins, the acreages of land discharging to each basin before development will remain the same acreages in the post -developed site, see Exhibits 1 and 2. For the drainage basin going to Sulphur Creek, on-site storm water will be directed, via surface flow and storm drain infrastructure, to a vegetated infiltration basin located in the northwest of the development. Outflow from the basin will be restricted to pre -project levels and directed to an outlet control structure located at the northwest end of the project which will allow stormwater to flow westerly, in line with the pre -development drainage pattern. For the drainage basin going to Boulder Creek, on-site storm water will be directed, via surface flow and storm drain infrastructure, to a vegetated infiltration basin located in the northeast of the development. Outflow from the basin will be restricted to pre -project levels and directed to Deodar by way of an under sidewalk drain in line with the pre -development drainage pattern. A preliminary hydrologic analysis was performed for the proposed project. The aim of this study is to approximate the required detention storage for the project. Final configurations of detention features, their outlet structures, and the overland release will be detailed in the stormwater management report that will be submitted with the improvement plans upon approval of the project. I"iORROCKS — 06/26/23 E/6 6I CO SUBDIVISION -_. PRELIMINARY DRAY NAGE REPORT Preliminary Hydrologic Analysis Methods: In order to approximate the required detention storage, a hydrology model was developed using Hydraflow Hydrographs Extension for Autodesk Civil 3D. The model implements the SCS method to determine the peak flow rate produced by the 100 -year design storm considering a number of variables: soil type, ground cover type, flow type, and the design storm type and duration for a specified location (i.e. Type 1A, 100yr-24hr). The following values were used as input into the hydrologic model: - Rainfall hydrographs based on a Type 1A design storm curve. - NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation data, Station IDs: 04-7304 o 100 -year, 24-hour storm — 8.81 inches - NRCS Soil Survey Database classifications. - Time of concentration was approximated using the TR -55 method. Description of Soil Types: Per the Natural Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey, the site is primarily comprised of Redding gravelly loam, type D soil which has a poor hydraulic conductivity. The remainder of the site is comprised of Newtown gravelly loam, type C soil which has a moderate conductivity. Design Assumptions: For this preliminary analysis, the pre -development site was taken as two drainage basins D131A and D13113, see Exhibit 1. The proposed development also utilizes two basins, D132A and DB2B, see Exhibit 2. The detention ponds (D1 and D2) were preliminarily sized to detain the 100 -year flows from the post - development sub -basin such that the estimated post -development peak outflow rates from the detention ponds do not exceed the calculated pre -development peak flow rates from D131A and DB1B for the 100 -year, 24-hour design storm event. The proposed detention feature is a vegetated infiltration basin, which serves to both store and treat the stormwater runoff associated with the project. HORROCKS — 06/26/2 4/6 YINCO SUBDIVISION -_. PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE REPORT Model Input: Table 1 below summarizes the inputs used in the hydrology model. Time of concentration was calculated using the TR -55 method accounting for sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, and channel flow as applicable across the basin. A composite curve number was calculated for the drainage basin, as required, based on the hydrologic soils group taken from the NRCS soil survey in addition to existing and proposed site conditions.

The property is located at the northwest corner of Deodar Way and Jordan Lane in the southwest % of the southwest % of Section 14, Township 32 north, Range 5 west MDBM. See Figure 1. The property consists of two parcels, assessor's numbers 114050005, which is 2.16 acres and 114050006 which is 2.5 acres for a total of 4.66 acres. The property's address is 3150 Jordon Lane, Redding, California. Figure 1. Property Project Location In October of 2022 WRM prepared a biological review (BR) for the subject property. 2022 was the third year of drought in California and at that time there was no evidence of wetlands except for some minor tire rutting that held water after the fall rains. The BR acknowledged that due to the time the BR was requested to be done, plant surveys would be inconclusive due to surveys being conducted outside the bloom period (WRM 2022). 2023 and 2024 were both wet years with abundant rainfall across northern California. Consequently, public comment received by the City of Redding suggested the presence of wetland features on the property. In turn, in December of 2024 Horrock's Engineering requested an examination of the area to see if wetland features are present. The report details the methods and results of that examination. Methods: In May 2024 the site was visited by WRM staff on the 15t" 17tH 20tH and 21St. During these visits, WRM utilized the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOS) Wetland Determination Data Form for the Arid West Region to note field conditions for hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland hydrology. The ACOE "Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region" was utilized in determining the vegetation, soil and hydrological character of each site. The ACOE "State of California 2021 Wetland Plant List" was used to determine the wetland status of plants identified at the site. The California Water Boards State Wetland Definition was consulted to understand what constituted waters of the state. Results: Soils There are two soil types found on the Zinco project area. As shown on Table 1 taken from the NRCS web soil survey these are the Newtown gravelly loam and the Redding gravelly loam. Table 1 Shasta County area, California (CAGG7) Shasta County area California (CA607) Map Unit Map Chit Name Acres Percent at symbolin A01 A01 NeE2 Newtown 0.5 11.19/ gravelly loam, 30 to 50 percent slopes, eroded RdA Redding gravely 4-1 83.9% loam, o to 5 percent slopes, moist, MLRA 17 Totals for Area € f 4.6 100.OWo Interest 2 Soil type description: (from: USDA Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Shasta County, California) Newton gravelly loam: This soil is found in the northwest corner of the project area. See Figure 2. The Newton series consists of well -drained soils that formed in old alluvium from mixed sources. They are on high terraces with a representative profile of the surface layer being brown slightly acid very gravelly loam and mixed very pale brown and brown slightly acid very gravelly clay loam about 18 inches thick. The subsoil is brown, strongly acid clay and pale -brown slightly acid silty clay loam. The soil has slow permeability with medium runoff and the hazard of erosion is moderate. Available water capacity is 9 to 11 inches. The soil is typically 60 inches deep (USDA 1974). Redding gravelly loam: This soil type makes up the majority of the soil on the project site. The Redding series consists of well -drained soils that contain an indurated hardpan. They are underlain by old mixed alluvium. The soils are nearly level to undulating on hummocky high terraces with slopes between 0 and 8 percent. In a representative profile the surface layer is strong brown, strongly acid gravelly loam about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is mixed reddish -brown and red strongly acid clay that extends to a depth of about 13 inches. Below this layer is an indurated very gravelly hardpan about 15 inches thick. Stratified mixed alluvial material is below the hardpan. Runoff is very slow and the hazard of erosion is none to slight. Available water capacity is 2 to 5.5 inches. Some available water is held above the hardpan during the early part of the growing season. The hardpan is at a depth of 10 to 30 inches (USDA 1974). Figure 2. Soil Map of the Zinco project area 3 As noted in the Shasta County soil survey, there is a hardpan at a depth of 10 to 30 inches within the surveyed area. On the Zinco site, WRM found the hard pan to be at around 10 to 11 inches deep. This hard pan is causing water to perch and remain close to the surface in several areas on the property during the rainy season and into the spring. Wetlands: There are no ponds, streams, seeps, or spring type features on the property. WRM found four areas where the shallow soils and hard pan have contributed to the presence of vernal wetland features as described by the ACOE literature. Figure 3 shows the location of these areas. Figure 3. Location of wetland areas The extent of each of these wetland areas was mapped using a Trimble TEC650 GNSS sub -meter accurate instrument. Figure 4 on the page following displays the area of the four vernal wetland features. Figure 4. Extent of vernal wetland features. 4 Figure 4 MI Site 2 is the largest, being in the northeast property corner area with Site 1 being just south of Site 2. Site 3 is just southeast of site 2 and Site 4 is in the southwest quarter of the property. These vernal wetland features were determined utilizing the ACOE "Wetland Determination Data Forms -Arid West Region" for a data point within each wetland area. See attached wetland delineation data forms. These areas contain deep rutting of the surface soil caused by mechanical clearing of vegetation and ATV off roading activity. Jurisdictional Status Federal Status under the Clean Water Act After the Supreme Court Ruling in the Sackett vs Environmental Protection Agency case which redefined "Waters of the United States" (WOUS) the Army Corp of Engineers published "Guide for landowner fact sheet, revised definition of Waters of the United States, Final Rule" on line ...,�isliriyLi�:J1:1/,.::1L•J:f.7►y7•.7112Y-WITIi State Status of vernal wetlands California State Water Board Definition of a Wetland is as follows: "An area is a wetland if, under normal circumstances, (1) the area has continuous or recurrent saturation of the upper substrate caused by groundwater, or shallow surface water, or both; (2) the duration of such saturation is sufficient to cause anaerobic conditions in the upper substrate; and (3) the area's vegetation is dominated by hydrophytes or the area lacks vegetation" (Water Boards. 2019 pg. 1). The determination of a state wetland is laid out in the Water Boards Procedures: "The Procedures define an area as a wetland if it meets three criteria: wetland hydrology, wetland soils, and (if vegetated) wetland plants. An area is a wetland if: (1) the area has continuous or recurrent saturation of the upper substrate caused by groundwater, or shallow surface water, or both; (2) the duration of such saturation is sufficient to cause anaerobic conditions in the upper substrate; and (3) the area's vegetation is dominated by hydrophytes or the area lacks vegetation. The Procedures provide the same wetland delineation methods that are used by the Army Corps of Engineers" (California Water Board 2024). The water code defines waters of the state as "any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state" and "(c) Resulted from historic human activity, is not subject to ongoing operation and maintenance, and has become a relatively permanent part of the natural landscape" (Water Boards. 2019 pg. 2). Such is the case for the vernal wetlands on the Zinco property. Unlike the Federal rule, the California definition of a wetland does not include any exclusions. Therefore, the vernal wetlands on the project area would be considered State waters. Are these areas vernal pools? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes vernal pools as follows: "Vernal pools are seasonal depressional wetlands that occur under the Mediterranean climate conditions of the West Coast and in glaciated areas of northeastern and midwestern states. They are covered by shallow water for variable periods from winter to spring, but may be completely dry for most of the summer and fall. These wetlands range in size from small puddles to shallow lakes and are usually found in a gently sloping plain of grassland. Western vernal pools are sometimes connected to each other by small drainages known as vernal swales, forming complexes. Beneath vernal pools lies either bedrock or a hard clay layer in the soil that helps keep water in the pool. 7 "Climatic changes associated with each season cause dramatic changes in the appearance of vernal pools. The pools collect water during winter and spring rains, changing in volume in response to varying weather patterns. During a single season, pools may fill and dry several times. In years of drought, some pools may not fill at all" (EPA. 2024). Based on this description the vernal wetlands on the project area may be called vernal pools as they appear as elongated puddles that range in depth from 2" to 10.5" with a mean depth of 6-8 inches* with saturated soils over a clay and indurated very gravelly hardpan (USDA 1974). *(measured in December 2024 by WRM) Implications While the vernal wetlands are not Federally protected, they are State protected. To fill waters of the State "an applicant must file an application with the Water Boards for any activity that could result in the discharge of dredged or fill material to waters of the state in accordance with California Code of Regulations, title 23, section 3855" (Water Boards. 2019 pg.4). Once the application is filed the Regional Water Quality Control Board will determine the amount of mitigation required, if any. Report prepared by: Wildland Resource Managers P.O.

The MMP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for and purpose of the program, discussion and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself. LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Zinco Subdivision. It is intended to be used by City of Redding (City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project. Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following: • Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action. • Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation. • Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the impacted environment. • Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project. • Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments. The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, on-site identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City staff Mitigation Monitoring Program, S-2022-02416, RZ-2024-00156 -I- March 20, 2025 MITIGATION MONITORING TABLE The Mitigation Monitoring Table identifies the mitigation measures proposed for Zinco Subdivision. These mitigation measures are reproduced from the Initial Study and conditions of approval for the project. The tables have the following columns: Mitigation Measure: Lists the mitigation measures identified within the Initial Study for a specific impact, along with the number for each measure as enumerated in the Initial Study. Timing: Identifies at what point in time, review process, or phase the mitigation measure will be completed. Agency/Department Consultation: References the City department or any other public agency with which coordination is required to satisfy the identified mitigation measure. Verification: Spaces to be initialed and dated by the individual designated to verify adherence to a specific mitigation measure. NONCOMPLIANCE COMPLAINTS Any person or agency may file a complaint asserting noncompliance with the mitigation measures associated with the project. The complaint shall be directed to the City in written form, providing specific information on the asserted violation. The City shall conduct an investigation and determine the validity of the complaint. If noncompliance with a mitigation measure has occurred, the City shall take appropriate action to remedy any violation. The complainant shall receive written confirmation indicating the results of the investigation or the final action corresponding to the particular noncompliance issue.

Surveys shall be done in accordance with the most current version of California Native Plant Society Botanical Survey Guidelines (CNPS 2001), California Department of Fish and Wildlife Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status At time of Public Works, Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities and U.S. Fish and Wildlife's development Planning Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants. If present, special status plant species plant populations will be flagged and, if possible, avoided during construction. If the population cannot be avoided during construction, a plan will be developed for approval by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) which may include transplanting the plant population, compensation, or other measures established by that agency. MM -13I0-2: If feasible, vegetation removal and/or construction shall be conducted between September 1 and January 31. If vegetation removal and/or construction activities are to occur during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey no more than seven (7) days before vegetation removal or construction activities begin. If an active nest is found, a non -disturbance buffer shall be established by a At time of Public Works, qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW. Construction may resume once the young have development Planning left the nest or as approved by the qualified biologist. The survey shall be provided to the CDFW. If construction activities cease for a period greater than seven (7) days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

CDFW appreciates this opportunity to comment on the Project, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines'. CDFW's Role CDFW is California's Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the state (Fish & G. Code, §§ 71 1.7, subd. (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; CEQA Guidelines, § 15386, subd. (a)). CDFW, in its Trustee Agency capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (Id., § 1802). Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect fish and wildlife resources. CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code. Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in "take" as defined by state law, of any species protected under the I CEQA is codified in the California Public Resources Code in section 21000 of seq. The "CEQA Guidelines" are found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, commencing with section 15000. Conserving Cafifornia's Wifdfife Since 1870 Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 2 California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.) or state listed rare plants pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA; Fish & G. Code, § 1900 et seq.), authorization as provided by the applicable Fish and Game Code may be required. Project Description: The Project activities are described in the ISMND including the following: The Project, as described in the ISMND, is proposing to rezone approximately 4.66 acres spanning two parcels in the City of Redding from "RS -3" Residential Single -Family, 3 -units per acre, to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family, 3.5 -units per acre and subdivide into 16 residential lots with supporting infrastructure including new roadways. The Project area primarily consists of blue oak woodland habitat. Comments and Recommendations In June 2023, CDFW responded to an early scoping solicitation from the City of Redding (Lead Agency). CDFW staff have since reviewed the ISMND with updated attachments and proposed avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs). CDFW staff supports the inclusion of MM -1310-1 conditioning pre - construction rare plant surveys to be performed by a qualified biologist in accordance with CDFW's Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural CommunitieS2. Crotch's Bumble Bee On September 30, 2022, the California Fish and Game Commission accepted a petition to list Crotch's bumble bee (Bombus crotchii; CBB) as endangered under CESA, advancing the species to the candidacy stage of the CESA listing process. Candidate species are granted full protection under CESA during this period. Take of any endangered, threatened, or candidate species that results from the Project is prohibited, except as authorized by state law (Fish & G. Code, §§ 86, 2062, 2067, 2068, 2080, 2085; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 786.9). Additionally, CBB has a state ranking of S2, which means it is imperiled and extremely rare (often five or fewer populations) and is listed as an invertebrate of conservation priority under the Terrestrial and Vernal Pool Invertebrates of Conservation Priority. 2 https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentlD=18959&inline Docusign Envelope ID: 5B1EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 3 This Project bisects this species' distribution range and has potentially suitable nesting, foraging and overwintering habitat. The Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) and ISMND include a habitat assessment or protocol level survey results for CESA-listed bumble bees. Without appropriate AMMS, direct mortality and potentially significant indirect impacts associated with ground and vegetation -disturbing activities may occur as a result of Project activities. Due to potentially suitable habitat throughout the Project site and the potential for significant impacts to CBB with the implementation of this Project, protocol level surveys should be performed by a qualified biologist in accordance with June 2023 Survey Considerations for California Endangered Species Act (CESAI Candidate Bumble Bee SpecieS3. For further clarification, Section 4 on Page 3 recommends at least 3 surveys, spaced 2-4 weeks apart during the colony active period, located in Table 1. Please note, conducting protocol -level surveys for CESA-listed species before finalizing an environmental document is important to ensure an accurate environmental assessment is performed, avoid inadequate mitigation decisions, and accurately comply with CESA regulatory requirements. Surveys will help to identify species presence, preventing potentially costly Project modifications, delays, or the need for CESA permitting. Conducting these surveys prior to Project approval supports a comprehensive approval process and minimizes the likelihood of potentially costly Project revisions. Therefore, CDFW strongly recommends performing bumble bee surveys prior to Project approval. Protection of Nesting Birds The Project area contains suitable habitat for nesting birds. The ISMND offers MM -1310-2 for the protection of nesting birds; however, the measure is not written to prioritize avoidance and is not adequate in the protection of nesting birds. To adequately avoid impacts to nesting birds protected under Fish and Game Code sections 3503 and 3503.5 and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, please include the following AMMs in the ISMND. a) Vegetation removal and other ground -disturbing activities should occur between September I and January 31, when birds are not anticipated to be nesting. b) If vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities occur during the nesting season, a pre -construction nesting bird survey should be conducted 3 https://nrm. df g.ca.gov/ File H and ler.ashx? Docu mentl D=213150&in line Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 4 by a qualified biologist to identify active nests in and adjacent to the Project area. Surveys should begin prior to sunrise and continue until vegetation and nests have been sufficiently observed. The survey should consider acoustic impacts and line of sight Project disturbances to determine a sufficient survey radius to maximize observations of nesting birds. A nesting bird survey report should be prepared and, at a minimum, the report should include a description of the area surveyed, date and time of the survey, ambient conditions, bird species observed, a description of any active nests observed, any evidence of breeding behaviors (e.g., courtship, carrying nest materials or food, etc.), and a description of any outstanding conditions that may have impacted the survey results (e.g., weather conditions, excess noise, presence of predators). If an active nest is located during pre -construction surveys, a non -disturbance buffer should be established around the nest by a qualified biologist in consultation with CDFW and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to comply with Fish and Game Code sections 3503 and 3503.5 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Compliance measures may include, but are not limited to, exclusion buffers, sound -attenuation measures, seasonal work closures based on the known biology and life history of the species identified during the survey, as well as ongoing monitoring by biologists. Nesting bird surveys should be conducted no more than one week prior to the initiation of construction. If construction activities are delayed or suspended for more than one week after the pre -construction nesting bird survey, the site should be resurveyed. Protection of Roosting Bats Bats are considered non -game mammals and are afforded protection by state law from take and/or harassment (Fish & G. Code, § 4150; Cal. Code of Regs., § 251.1). Construction activities, including ground disturbance, vegetation removal, and activities leading to increased noise levels may have direct and/or indirect impacts on bats and bat roosts. As stated in the BRA bats typically utilize woodland stand structures for roosting or maternal denning, and the blue oak woodland throughout the Project area contain numerous roosting opportunities in the form of cavities, heart rot openings, defoliating bark and broken limbs. While the BRA acknowledges roosting habitat for bats in the Project area, the BRA only analyzes Townsend's big -eared bat. Several other tree -roosting bats have the potential to occur on site including but not Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 5 limited to pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) and silver -haired bat (Losionycteris noctivagans). The ISMND does not include AMMs for potential impacts to roosting bats. To adequately avoid impacts to bats protected under Fish and Game Code section 4150, please include the following AMMs in the ISMND. a) A qualified biologist shall clearly mark the snags and trees that have potential for roosting bats. b) Removal of marked trees should occur only during the following time frames and subject to the following weather conditions, or as otherwise approved/recommended by a qualified bat biologist: • Between March 15 and April 30, and between August 15 and October 1; and • Between October 2 and March 14 when evening temperatures are above 45°F, and no more than 1/2" of rainfall within a 24-hour period prior to tree removal. c) Marked trees shall be removed using a two-step process to allow bats the opportunity to abandon the roost prior to removal. The two-step removal process is as follows: • Day 1: Remove small -diameter trees, brush, and non -habitat features of large trees (branches without cavities, crevices, or exfoliating bark) to create noise and vibration disturbance on the tree and to alter the air flow and temperature around the roost feature, thus encouraging bats to vacate roost features on their own. The tree shall then be left for 24 hours to allow the bats to move to another roost site. No excavators, grinders, or other heavy equipment should be used for the first day trimming of bat habitat trees. • Day 2: If bats may be in branches that can be removed from the tree and set aside, cut the branches off intact and set them upright against trees away from the Project area to allow any bats present to passively escape. Then, remove the remainder of the tree. This two-step process changes the microhabitat of the area, causing bats to vacate under their own volition, therefore minimizing direct and indirect impacts to bat species. Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 6 As discussed in the BRA, the Project area contains approximately 4.66 aces of blue oak woodland habitat. Blue oak woodland is classified as a State Rank 4 Sensitive Natural Community4, which are at moderate risk of extinction due to restricted range, relatively few populations, low regeneration, overall ecological benefits and their susceptibility to long term climatic changes. While State Rank 4 communities are less rare, they are still of ecological importance and the impacts to State Rank 4 communities can still be significant under certain circumstances, especially when considering local ecological contexts and cumulative environmental impacts, such as those ongoing with continued development throughout the City of Redding. The ongoing loss of oak woodlands throughout Shasta County without adequate mitigation is resulting in a cumulative total loss of oak woodlands in our region. This impact not only equates to loss of oak habitat, but also cumulatively impacts the numerous and abundant wildlife and botanical resources reliant on this natural community. The Redding checkerbloom, for example, is listed as California Native Plant Society Rare Plant Rank 3 with a limited known range and distribution. The Redding checkerbloom is directly associated with blue oak woodland habitats within the City of Redding. The ISMND does not offer AMMs for the permanent removal of blue oak woodland and only discusses removal of oaks from the City of Redding Tree Management Ordinance perspective, not from a CEQA level of significance perspective. While CDFW staff are pleased to see four oak trees to be potentially preserved, four trees do not adequately address the loss of the whole habitat type. While CDFW staff understand this Project area occurs in an otherwise urban landscape, the 4.66 acres (80+ individual trees) of oak woodland habitat that remains provides ecosystem services to local botanical and wildlife species. CDFW strongly recommends the Lead Agency consult the Oak Woodland Impact Decision MatriX5 for most appropriate mitigation considerations for this Project's oak woodland impacts and includes the analysis in the final ISMND. 4 https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP/Natural-Communities#sensitive%20natural%2Ocommunities 5 https://docs.vcrma.org/images/pdf/planning/bio/Oak-Impact-Matrix.pdf Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 7 This matrix considers partially disturbed habitats such as those present in the Project area. Since comprehensive onsite oak woodland habitat establishment appears infeasible, offsite oak woodland mitigation strategies should be considered as a condition of this Project's approval by the Lead Agency. Such mitigation could benefit both the oak woodland habitat and Redding checkerbloom from impacts of this Project. Oak woodlands may be mitigated by establishing a conservation easement to offset impacts to oak woodlands (acres protected to acres affected at a minimum 3:1 ratio) or contributions to an appropriate compensation fee to an Oak Woodlands Conservation Fund, such as those managed by the California Wildlife Conservation Board6. The goal of mitigation should be to effectively attain no net loss of oak woodland habitat. If mitigation for the direct and indirect impacts of oak woodland habitat includes onsite/offsite establishment and/or restoration, the Lead Agency should condition the formulation of a Habitat Restoration Plan, or similar, prior to the approval of land modification, which would explicitly quantify the number of trees to be removed, acres of habitat impacted, trees to be planted, monitoring and success criteria, and any additional onsite/offsite mitigation strategies, to be reviewed and approved by CDFW. Native Vegetation in Landscaping The ISMND indicates landscaping but does not include landscape plans. CDFW recommends the Lead Agency condition the landscaping of this Project with vegetation native to the local area. Benefits of utilizing native vegetation in landscaping are numerous and include providing vital resources for native beneficial pollinators, conserving water, reducing pesticide use, and reducing landscaping maintenance. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) website includes a variety of useful information and tools to help determine which native species occur in a particular area, information on care and maintenance of native species, and contacts for purchasing native plants or seeds. The CNPS tool CaIscarDe7 generates a list of native plants that grow in an area based on a specific address and can be used to develop a planting palate for landscaping plans. For more information regarding the importance of using native species in landscaping, please refer to the CNPS Guidelines for Landscaping to Protect Native Vegetation from Genetic Degradation. 6 https://wcb.ca.gov/Programs/Oaks 7 https://caiscape.org/ Docusign Envelope ID: 5131 EDA91-D4E1-47BE-9559-85EC1 E6B8EOF Danny Castro City of Redding May 2, 2025 Page 8 California Endangered Species Act This Project has the potential to impact CESA-listed species, including CBB. Please be advised that a CESA permit8 must be obtained if the Project has the potential to result in "take" (hunt, pursue, catch, capture, kill, or attempt thereof) of plants or animals listed under CESA, either during construction or over the life of the project. Issuance of a CESA permit is subject to CEQA documentation; the CEQA document must specify impacts, mitigation measures, and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. If the Project has the potential to result in the take of a CESA-listed species, early consultation is encouraged, as significant modification to the Project may be necessary to minimize and fully mitigate impacts as required by Fish and Game Code, section 2081 (b) (2). Submitting Data CEQA requires that information developed in environmental documents is incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e).) Accordingly, please report any observation of special status species to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). Use this link to access the CNNDB field survey form9 and this link for additional information on the type of information reported to CNDDBlO. Additionally, a copy of the form should be sent to the Northern Region office at R I CEQARedding@wildlife.ca.gov. Promoting Collaboration CDFW is charged with preserving and protecting the state's diverse ecosystems and wildlife; therefore, CDFW maintains a strong commitment to collaborating with local government entities.

Box 990194 Redding, CA 96099-0194 Re: Shasta Chapter, California Native Plant Society Comments on Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning Mitigated Negative Declaration Dear Mr. Castro: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning. The following comments are submitted on behalf of the Shasta Chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) which is a non-profit environmental organization with over 13,000 members in 36 Chapters across California and Baja California, Mexico. CNPS's mission is to protect California's native plants and their natural habitats, today and into the future, through science, education, stewardship, gardening, and advocacy. The Environmental Initial Study (IS) for this project did not include sufficient information to disclose the baseline conditions of the project site, and the determination that this project will have impacts that would be less than significant with the proposed mitigation was made based on an incomplete and potentially inaccurate portrayal of the biological resources present on the project site. The Pre -Survey review should have included a California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and CNPS Rare Plant Inventory queries of the Redding, California, USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle as well as all eight (8) adjacent quadrangles to develop a list of species with the potential to occur, given the presence of habitat on the project site. The fact that there are no recorded occurrences of a taxa within a certain distance of the project site does not rule out the potential to occur, nor does being outside of the known elevation range of a species; range expansions and the discovery undocumented occurrences are not uncommon. There is also the possibility that an undocumented species may be present on the project site. For these reasons surveys sufficient to determine all species present on the project site are essential to determining the significance of potential impacts. A single survey during a time of year when very few annual or perennial species would have been present, let alone identifiable to a level necessary to determine rarity, is unacceptable. The qualifications of biologists were not disclosed and transects of 15 to 50 feet would not be effective at identifying any diminutive species that could easily be obscured by invasive grasses that were shown to be present on the site, even during a time of year that they may have been detectable. The plant surveys should be conducted at the appropriate times of year to accurately assess the botanical resources present on the project site. The proposed mitigation measures should include sufficient detail to ensure that any special species impacted by project activities would not lead to net loss of occurrences or habitat. Mitigation measure BIO -1 should be amended to require that pre -construction surveys occur following the 2021 update to the 2018 California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (Protocols), and not allow previous surveys that have been submitted to the city to be admissible. The mitigation measure should emphasize avoidance of special status species over any form of compensatory mitigation. If sensitive species are observed, mitigation measures should be developed for each species documented during appropriately timed surveys conducted prior to project approval and appropriately timed preconstruction surveys. Efforts to transplant or recreate special status populations have been shown to be largely infective, a review of mitigation efforts to transplant or recreate populations of special status species shows that these are only successful in 8% of efforts'. Based on the lack of substantial supporting evidence we feel that the MND should be declined and that additional surveys be performed using an appropriate list of target species at an appropriate time of year, and that mitigation measures be updated to include species specific mitigation for any special status taxa found during these additional surveys or during preconstruction surveys, and that these measures include explicit performance standards, and explicit maintenance and monitoring schedules. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project and please contact me if you have any questions. Below are the CDFW protocols for biological surveys that have not been followed. Underlined portions particularly apply to the Biological Survey or plants.

CNPS Comments on Zinco Project 2 Botanical field surveys should be comprehensive over the entire project area, including areas that will be directly or indirectly impacted by the project. Adjoining properties should also be surveyed where direct or indirect project effects could occur, such as those from fuel modification, herbicide application, invasive species, and altered hydrology. Surveys restricted to known locations of special status plants may not identify all special status plants and sensitive natural communities present, and therefore do not provide a sufficient level of information to determine potential impacts. Applicant did not do this. Timing and Number of Visits Conduct botanical field surveys in the field at the times of year when plants will be both evident and identifiable. Usually this is during flowering or fruiting. Space botanical field survey visits throughout the growing season to accurately determine what plants exist in the project area. This usually involves multiple visits to the project area (e.g., in early, mid, and late -season) to capture the floristic diversity at a level necessary to determine if special status plants are present. The timing and number of visits necessary to determine if special status plants are present is determined by geographic location, the natural communities present, and the weather patterns of the year(s) in which botanical field surveys are conducted. Applicant did not do the above requirements. Detailed description of survey methodology and results • Names and qualifications of botanical field surveyor(s); • Dates of botanical field surveys (indicating the botanical field surveyor(s) that surveyed each area on each survey date), and total person -hours spent, • A discussion of the survey preparation methodology; • A list of special status plants and sensitive natural communities with potential to occur in the region; Applicant did not do any of the above. In 2024, the Planning Department accepted a botanical survey from Wildland Resource Manager which listed two special status plants: the nine -awned pappus grass (Enneapogon desvauxii), California Rare Plant Rank 213.2) and hairy erioneuron (Erioneuronpilosum), CRPR 2B.3)." From a SEA comment letter of May 9, 2024 (attached) and now the Planning Department is accepting a substandard biological survey from Vestra that did not do a survey for plants nor list the above plants. Thus, by only doing a preconstruction botanical survey, it will deny our organization and any other citizen the opportunity to comment as the project will already be approved. CLAPS Comments on Zinco Project 3 The California Environmental Quality Act was enacted to protect our environment and to allow citizen input and comment regarding all aspects of the projects under review. If the public or reviewing agencies believe that the law is not being followed, they have the option of taking the Lead Agency to court for legal review of the Lead Agency's processes and determinations. In this case, CEQA is not being followed if the City of Redding accepts the inadequate biological survey that was submitted by the project applicant. If the City were to approve the project based on this inadequate biological survey, simply asking that the applicant conduct a better survey prior to construction, our organization would be denied any opportunity to respond if we felt the subsequent survey was unacceptable. This would prohibit our organization from commenting on the adequacy of the biological survey as the project would already have been approved and is an evasion of CEQA requirements. It would deny our organization our rights under CEQA. Please note: The Highland Plains Shooting Range project in Millville Plains was defeated in Shasta County Superior Court based in part on similar deficiencies in a biological survey completed for that project. The deficient biological study was cited by Judge Benjamin Hanna in Shasta County Superior Court Ruling on March 11, 2025, Anderson/Millville Residents vs. County of Shasta, #23CV-0203713. Reference to the improper biological review is at the top of page six and references a comment letter I wrote and submitted for Shasta Environmental Alliance. In conclusion, the Vestra biological survey failed to meet CEQA and CDFW protocols in many aspects, merely listing 20 plants observed on one single solitary visit. The City should require the applicant to submit a botanical survey under CDFW protocols.

CNPS's mission is to protect California's native plants and their natural habitats, today and into the future, through science, education, stewardship, gardening, and advocacy. We work closely with decision -makers, scientists, and local planners to advocate for well-informed policies, regulations, and land management practices. The Environmental. Initial Study (IS) for this project did not include sufficient information to disclose the baseline conditions of the project site, and the determination that this project will have impacts that would be less than significant with the proposed mitigation was made based on an incomplete and potentially inaccurate portrayal of the biological resources present on the project site. We would strongly recommend that the desktop review to identify special status species with the potential to occur, the survey procedures and the survey report follow the recommendations outlined in the 2021 update to the 2018 California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (Protocols). The Pre -Survey review should have included California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and CLAPS Rare Plant Inventory queries of the Redding, California, USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle as well as all eight (8) adjacent quadrangles to develop a list of species with the potential to occur, given the presence of suitable habitat on the project site. The fact that there are no recorded occurrences of a rare plant taxa within a certain distance of the project site does not rule out the potential to occur, nor does being outside of the known elevation range of a species, since range expansions and the discovery undocumented occurrences are not uncommon. There is also the possibility that an undescribed species may be present on the project site. For these reasons, protocol level surveys sufficient to determine all species present on the project site are essential to determining the significance of potential impacts. The Biological Resources Assessment states that the initial October 2022 survey was determined to be inadequate, using a single survey during July, when very few annual or perennial species would have been present, let alone identifiable to a level necessary to determine rarity, to remedy the inadequacy of the previous survey is unacceptable. The qualifications of biologists were not disclosed and transects of up to 50 feet apart would not be effective at identifying any diminutive species that could easily be obscured by invasive grasses that were shown to be present on the site, even during a time of year when they may have been detectable. We would recommend that surveys be conducted at the appropriate times of year to accurately assess the botanical resources present on the project site following the CDFW Protocols, including a complete list of all plant species observed identified to an appropriate taxonomic level to determine status. This information should be made available prior to any public hearings on the project to allow for meaningful discourse on the potential impacts of the proposal. The proposed mitigation measures should include sufficient detail to ensure that any special species impacted by project activities would not lead to net loss of occurrences or habitat. Mitigation measure BIO -1 should be amended to require that pre -construction surveys occur following the CDFW Protocols and should not allow previous surveys that have been submitted to the city to be substituted for preconstruction surveys, these should be additive. This mitigation measure should emphasize avoidance of special status species over any form of compensatory mitigation. Mitigation measures should be developed for each species documented during appropriately timed surveys conducted prior to project approval and additional measures should be developed to offer guidance for the mitigation of any additional species observed during appropriately timed preconstruction surveys. Efforts to transplant or recreate special status populations have been shown to be largely infective. A review of mitigation efforts to transplant or recreate populations of special status species shows that these are only successful in 8% of effortsl . This mitigation measure should include requirements that any efforts to transplant or recreate impacted populations be monitored and managed yearly for the first 5 years of the mitigation term. If at 5 years populations are meeting specified performance standards management may be discontinued and populations shall be monitored yearly for years 6-8. If populations are continuing to meet performance standards at year 8 monitoring may shift to every other year, in perpetuity. If at any point monitoring shows that populations are not meeting performance standards yearly monitoring and management shall be resumed for a 5 -year period, followed by 3 years of yearly monitoring, returning to monitoring every other year only when populations are showing stability for 3 years without management. The mitigation should also include that there will be financial assurance for transplanting efforts I Fiedler, P.L., 1991.

CNPS Comments on Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning Mitigated Negative Declaration 2 (as described above), compensation, or other measures as determined by CDFW.

Sincerely, Brendm Wi1w Brendan Wilce Conservation Program Coordinator California Native Plant Society bwilce@cnps.org CNPS Comments on Zinco Subdivision and Rezoning Mitigated Negative Declaration 3 MND Attachment E Response to Comments Response to Comments on Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration Tentative Subdivision Map 5-2022-02416 and Rezoning RZ-2024-001.56, Zinco Subdivision In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State guidelines, the following responses address the issues raised in the attached comment letters. Comments received on the public draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) did not identify new significant impacts or significant new information that would require recirculation of the draft IS/MND pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5. This technical memorandum is being used to summarize comments and support adoption of the public draft IS/MND. Response to Comments Letter submitted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW): Crotch's Bumble Bee. CDFW commented that Crotch's bumble bee is protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), even if only temporarily as a candidate species, and needs to be addressed with avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs). The circulated MND did not contain any AMMs for the bee. While it is temporarily afforded protection under CESA, Crotch's bumble bee is still not technically a listed species under CESA. Therefore, adding a condition to the conditions of approval that requires preconstruction bumble bee surveys to be done in accordance with CDFW guidelines should be sufficient for avoiding and/or minimizing impacts to Crotch's bumble bee. Such a condition has been added to the Draft Conditions of Approval. As long as protection measures for this non -listed species are in place, formal mitigation measures in the context of an MND need not apply. Protection of Nesting Birds and Bats. CDFW writes that the mitigation measure in the ISMND for nesting birds does not prioritize avoidance and is thus inadequate. They also write that bats other than the considered Townsend's big -eared bat could find the project site suitable for roosting. The mitigation measure utilized in the ISMND for nesting birds contains virtually the same clause about prioritizing vegetation removal in the off season (when birds are not typically nesting) as CDFW's suggested language. The suggested language does not significantly differ from the language already included in the mitigation measure. While there would be no significant impacts to special status bats, a condition regarding the consideration of bats is included in the draft conditions of approval. Therefore, although not necessary for CEQA, the City has included an avoidance and minimization measure for impact to bats. Oak Woodland. CDFW states that the ISMND does not offer AMMs for the permanent removal of blue oak woodland from a CEQA level of significance perspective and that the loss of habitat type is not adequately addressed. 1 SDP -2023-00085 & RZ-2024-00156/Canby Apartments Response to Comments on Draft MND The General Plan EIR recognized that impacts to the loss of woodland is a significant and unavoidable impact due to the future growth expected to occur in the City over the next twenty years. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations were approved and adopted to that effect by the Redding City Council on March 26, 2024. Regardless, preserving woodlands within the City and its sphere of influence have been taken into consideration at the General Plan level. There are approximately 17 square miles of open space within the City's planned "growth areas," including over 8,000 acres within the City limits, primarily containing oak woodland habitat. Much of this area is preserved with restrictions on slope and stream side development, and over 4,600 acres are protected through open space zoning and/or private open space easements. Letter submitted by the Shasta Chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS): Deficiencies in the biological resources assessment. The letter states that the biological report should have done California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and CNPS :Rare Plant Inventory queries of the Redding USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle as well as all eight adjacent quadrangles for occurrences of special status species. It also says that the Vestra study does not survey for plants nor list two special -status species plants identified in the previous assessment done by Wildland Resource Managers. Section 4.1 of the Biological Resource Assessment completed by Vestra explains that all nine quadrangles referenced above were included in their review of special -status plant and animal species and sensitive habitats that have the potential to occur within the survey area. The comment criticizes the Vestra report for not surveying for plants. Not only did the report survey for plants but it suggested avoidance and minimization measures for three special -status species of plants. While making oral public comments at the April 2024 hearing for this project, a representative for CNPS criticized the qualifications of the biologist from Wildland Resource Managers for identifying Enneapagan desvauyii and Erioneuron pilosum. They stated that those plants would have no likelihood for occurrence on the site. That the revised report did not identify those plants onsite does not seem unreasonable or unexpected. Mitigation Measures. CNPS comments that proposed mitigation measures should include sufficient detail to ensure that any special -status species impacted by the project would not lead to a net loss of occurrences or habitat. The MND should be declined per CLAPS, and additional surveys performed using an appropriate list of target species at an appropriate time of year. There is no City policy or significance threshold that requires no net loss of a special -status species occurrences or habitat. The proposed mitigation measures consider the impacts to special -status species and require coordination with CDFW to address those impacts if the special -status species are found during protocol level pre -construction surveys. 2 SDP -2023-00085 & RZ-2024-00156/Canby Apartments Response to Comments on Draft MND Letter submitted by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), continued: Mitigation Measures. "Mitigation measure BIO -1 should be amended to require that pre - construction surveys occur following the 2021 update to the 2018 California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) :Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (:Protocols), and not allow previous surveys that have been submitted to the city to be admissible." MM -13I0-1 requires that pre -construction surveys "shall be done in accordance with the most current version of California Native Plant Society's Botanical Survey Guidelines (CNPS 2001), California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Plant Species Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities and U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants. These required surveys will be new surveys done prior to construction. The concerns of this comment are built into the mitigation measure already. Deny the MND. "Based on the lack of substantial supporting evidence we feel that the MND should be declined and that additional surveys be performed using an appropriate list of target species at an appropriate time of year, and that mitigation measures be updated to include species specific mitigation for any special status taxa found during these additional surveys or during preconstruction surveys, and that these measures include explicit performance standards, and explicit maintenance and monitoring schedules." The Vestra BRA used an appropriate list of target species aggregated from multiple sources, including a nine -quadrangle inquiry from CNDDB and CNPS databases. The report recommends protocol level pre -construction surveys for all identified special status species that could not be ruled out as having the potential to occur onsite. The mitigation measures, included in the conditions of approval, require that CDFW be consulted for any special -status species found during those additional pre -construction surveys to ensure that any applicable State performance standards, maintenance, and monitoring are implemented. The Vestra report is adequate and staff recommends adoption of the draft MND. 3 A III C 15' SD EASEMENT "&12'ACC am /I f�¢ w w7 I I mI r -.i 749-- m , PARCEL 3 y 8,633 SO. FT.

The properties are located at 3150 and 3250 Jordan Lane in an "RS -3" Residential Single -Family District. The project also includes the off-site extension of a water line. Recommendation Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion, forward a recommendation to City Council to determine that the necessary findings for approval are in evidence, adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approve Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-2022-02416 and Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, Zinco Subdivision, subject to the attached conditions. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project applicant, Zinco Holding, LLC, is requesting approval to subdivide 4.42 acres into 16 single-family residential lots. The property is located adjacent to existing residential development at the intersection of Deodar Way and Jordan Lane. Lot sizes range from 7,229 square feet to 15,549 square feet, with the average being approximately 9,500 square feet. The applicant is also requesting approval of a rezone to change the project site's zoning district from "RS -3" Residential Single -Family to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family. PARCEL SIZE: The project spans two parcels totaling 4.42 acres (2.27 and 2.15 acres). TERRAIN/VEGETATION: The site is relatively flat and undeveloped. Vegetation consists of a moderate coverage of scattered small -to -medium-sized blue oak trees interspersed with gray pine and live oak trees, shrubs consisting of manzanita and poison oak, and annual grasses and forbs. EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant and undeveloped. Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre" and "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." ZONING DESIGNATION: "RS -3" Residential Single -Family. SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: Single-family homes East: Mobile home park South: Single-family homes West: Single-family homes BACKGROUND This project was brought before the Planning Commission on April 9, 2024, and was continued to a date uncertain. In the week preceding the hearing, the project applicant removed a number of trees without having obtained the proper permits. The unpermitted tree removal along with concerns regarding the quality of the initial Biological Review prompted staff to recommend a continuance in order to properly address these issues. Since the April 9, 2024 hearing, a penalty has been issued for the unpermitted tree removal and a new Biological Resources Assessment completed, as discussed further in this staff report under the Biological Resources/Trees section below. The proposed 16 lot single-family subdivision site consists of 4.42 acres located in the northwest quadrant of the City, west of Lake Boulevard and south of Keswick Dam Road. The site is surrounded on all sides by existing residential development and is considered an "in -fill" site. From the north the project site is accessible from the Lake Boulevard and Keswick Dam Road intersection via Deodar Way to Jordan Lane. From the south, the site is accessible from the Lake Boulevard and Santa Rosa Way intersection, also via Deodar Way to Jordan Lane. Access to the subdivision would be provided from a new street (Road A) proposed at the westerly portion of the site which intersects with Jordan Lane. This road segment would continue to the northly edge of the site for a potential future extension of the roadway. An interior cul-de-sac street (Road B) connected to Road A would provide access to the remaining lots in the subdivision. The Conditions of Approval require construction of necessary improvements, including construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk. No vehicular access would be taken from Deodar Way. The project includes the off-site extension of the water line in Road A to the existing water main stub approximately 30 feet to the north of the subdivision. Looping the water system in this way increases water quality to properties at the end of the pipeline while also cutting down on maintenance costs associated with dead ends in the system. Issues GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONFORMANCE, DENSITY AND REZONING Currently, two existing parcels make up the project site. The property addressed as 3150 Jordan Lane is designated on the General Plan as "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre" while the property addressed as 3250 Jordan Lane is designated "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 3 per acre." Both properties are currently zoned "RS -3" Residential Single -Family. The project proposes to rezone both properties to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family which would provide consistency with the General Plan designation of 3250 Jordan Lane, having a minimum density of 3.5 units per acre in the General Plan, and allow for the overall development as proposed. This zoning is also consistent with the area south and east of Jordan Lane, which is also zoned "RS - 3.5" with a General Plan designation of "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." The map proposes to subdivide each of the two parcels into eight lots, for a total of 16 lots and an overall density of 3.6 units per acre. The number of lots is consistent with the proposed zoning district and is well within the General Plan range over both properties. The design of the subdivision is also consistent with the surrounding development in the area with similar lot sizes and dimensions. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES/TREES Originally, a Biological Review by Wildland Resource Managers, dated October 2022, was provided for the project. Comments received in response to public review of the first report identified inadequacies in the report regarding the potential for special status species and wetlands to occur onsite: Since the initial writing of the Biological Review in 2022, tire ruts created from clearing activities had allowed for the pooling of water and creation of wetlands. Two new reports were completed for the project site in order to account for changes to the site since 2022. These included a Biological Resources Assessment prepared by Vestra Resources Incorporated dated October 2024 and a report titled Zinco Property Wetlands Delineation by Wildland Resource Managers dated December 2024. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has also been prepared for the project with a recommendation of its adoption replacing staff's previous recommendation to determine the project categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project site consists of blue oak woodland and forest alliance. Dominant species observed were blue oak and foothill pine with a sparse understory of manzanita, toyon, and poison oak. The Project proposes to save six (6) of the remaining trees over 6 inches DBH and the conditions of approval require a tree preservation plan be submitted with the final grading plan for all trees designated to be preserved. In March of 2024 there were 144 trees on site with more than a 6 -inch diameter at breast height (DBH). On April 4, 2024 it was brought to the City's attention that unpermitted tree removal was occurring on the project site. Staff visited the site and asked workers to cease all activity. Fifty- nine (59) trees over 6 inches DBH had already been removed. This illegal tree removal violates Chapter 1.8.45, Tree Management, of the Redding Zoning Ordinance by removing the trees without a permit. Chapter 18.45, Tree Management, of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the applicable penalties for violations of Chapter 18.45. A monetary fine was issued in accordance with Chapter 18.45 and payment of this fine will remedy the violation in conformance with the City's tree management regulations. The prior illegal removal of trees is being resolved separately from this project in accordance with the Municipal Code. DEODAR WAY The segment of Deodar Way adjacent to the project site is notably narrower than the segments to the north and south. While the existing travel lane width is adequate for two-way travel, it lacks Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 4 the width necessary for parking lanes. To achieve the full street width, dedication from the mobile home park to the east is necessary. The City's Traffic Engineer has determined the number of average vehicle trips that would be generated with development of the project would not trigger any requirements to widening Deodar Way. Further, the City's Fire Marshal concurs that adequate street width exists for emergency access. Therefore, the conditions of approval do not require the project to acquire right-of-way from the mobile home park. FENCING/LANDSCAPING The boundaries of new subdivisions often abut arterial roads. The Redding Municipal Code requires that the double frontage lots abutting these roads relinquish access to the arterial street and take access from the interior of the subdivision. In these cases, a masonry wall is required between the lots and the arterial road. As an in -fill development, this subdivision's boundaries are not arterial roads; however, they are collector streets. These smaller collectors have lower traffic volumes and require less intense boundary delineation. For this reason, the conditions of approval require a block -post fence along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way instead of a wall. This discretionary requirement meets the intent of providing a higher quality, durable barrier between the rear of double frontage lots and the public right-of-way which is normally achieved on bigger subdivisions with a masonry wall. In addition, the block -post fence would be required to be installed at the back of a 5 -foot public service easement (PSE) behind the public right-of-way along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way, providing space for landscaping. The block -post fence and landscaping along the Jordan Lane and Deodar Way help to make the project consistent with the policies under General Plan Goal CDD9: Preserve existing community character and fabric and promote the development of livable and cohesive neighborhoods and districts. These features provide a higher quality visual transition from the street to the subdivision for the neighborhood. A masonry wall at the back of the sidewalk would be an abrupt and aesthetically undesirable solution to having double frontage lots. Likewise, a typical dog-eared backyard fence lacks character and durability. A block -post fence behind 5 feet of landscaping provides a more livable and aesthetically pleasing streetscape. LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT There are different tools for maintaining shared amenities of a subdivision. Homeowner associations are one common tool. Another method is to place a subdivision into a landscape maintenance district (LMD). The conditions of approval require that each property in the subdivision be included in a landscape maintenance district (LMD) for all irrigation, landscaping, and fencing along Jordan Lane and Deodar Way. The LMD will also include the storm -water detention areas. All properties within the subdivision would be required to pay into the LMD and the City would use the money generated to maintain these shared features of the subdivision. 'TurrOXF MCI Based on the Initial Study prepared for the project, staff prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration which was distributed to surrounding property owners and also State and local agencies for a 30 -day public review. The public -review period ended on May 2, 2025. A copy of Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 5 the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying public/agency comments, and staff's response to those comments, are attached, as well as the Mitigation Monitoring Program. Mitigation measures were incorporated into the project and were made conditions of approval in the area of biological resources. PUBLIC COMMENT Staff received a number of public comments both after the project's initial hearing in April of 2024 and during the public noticing period for the May 2025 hearing. Comments largely focused on a few key areas. Unpermitted Removal of Trees Commenters expressed the desire for the payment of a fine and the removal of the brush piles created by the unpermitted action. A fine of $30,000 has been issued to the project applicant and is still outstanding. In accordance with Zoning Ordinance Chapter 18.45, Tree Management, this penalty has been determined by the Development Services Director and has been levied apart from this project. A hold has been placed on both 3150 and 3250 Jordan Lane that will preclude the applicant from the ability to develop (obtain a grading permit and building permit) the site until the fine has been paid. As for the piles of woodland debris, condition number 24 of the attached Draft Conditions of Approval require these piles to be removed prior to the start of the fire season or, if generated during fire season, immediately. Non-compliance with this condition would be enforced through the Code Enforcement Division. Site Drainage There is public concern about the drainage of this site, particularly to the north east. Currently, a layer of hard dirt about 18 -inches below the grounds surface prevents rain water from soaking deeper into the ground. Instead, it pools at the surface. This notably occurs at the northeast section of the site. With development of the subdivision, water that would otherwise run off onto adjacent properties would instead be captured by the onsite storm drain system and deposited into a drainage pipe that runs under Deodar Way. Deodar Way It has been pointed out that Deodar Way needs maintenance. While this observation is not disputed, the City cannot force a developer to fix a problem that is technically the responsibility of the City without being able to make a significant case for it. In this case, the number of automobile trips generated by 1.6 units does not cross any thresholds that could trigger a requirement for the project to fix the street. With over 900 lane miles in the City and limited funds for maintenance, the Public Works Department does their best to keep up on maintenance with the resources available. That being said, curb, gutter, and sidewalk can be and will be required of the project. The 20 -foot wide two-way travel lane width for the portion of Deodar Way that flanks the project, while technically adequate, is not ideal. The mobile home park to the east of the project sits on what would ideally be half of the normal public right-of-way. Because the area needed to Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 6 widen the road does not fall on the project's side, the project is unable to offer it for dedication. Requiring the project to acquire the land from the mobile home park in order to dedicate it to the City would be out of proportion with the low number of added vehicle trips attributed to the project. Furthermore, because the City's Traffic Engineer and Fire Marshall have deemed the roadway width technically acceptable per the Municipal Code for transportation and emergency access, the need for requiring the Project to acquire some of the mobile home park's land for more right-of-way is unjustifiable. The Previous Biological Report Many members of the public expressed concerns over the quality of the original Biological Review supplied for the project by the applicant. While staff previously shared some of these concerns, through consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) it was determined that the report was sufficient enough to move forward with the project. As was brought to light in last April's hearing, due to deep tire rutting that had not previously existed, vernal pools (wetlands) had since been created onsite. This prompted a second biological report to be completed by a different consultant. This updated and more complete Biological Resource Assessment was used as the basis for writing the biological section of the initial study. The initial study is an attachment to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) which is a more detailed way of complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) than the categorical exemption previously proposed with the project last year. PROJECT CONDITIONS The conditions for this project are attached. REQUIRED FINDINGS Certain findings must be found to be in evidence to support approval of the tentative map as set forth in Section 66474 of the State Government Code and Section 17.20.120 of the City Subdivision Ordinance. The findings are provided as an attachment to this report. PLANNING COMMISSION AUTHORITY The Planning Commission typically has the authority to approve a tentative map under Section 17.1.20.100 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. However, in this case the City Council has the responsibility for approval of the rezoning application that the tentative subdivision map is dependent upon. Therefore, the Planning Commission is asked to forward a recommendation on the project to City Council. ALTERNATIVES The following alternatives are offered for consideration: 1. Recommend the project for approval with modifications to the draft conditions that the Planning Commission deems necessary to support the project. Minor modifications may be incorporated into a motion for approval. Report to Redding Planning Commission May 9, 2025 Re: 5(b)1- Subdivision Application S-2022-02416 & Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, by Zinco Holding Page 7 2. Recommend denial to the City Council of the tentative map and rezoning application. Such action must be based upon a finding that the project is inconsistent with the General Plan or other City development standards or poses a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. Staff has not identified any justification for denial of the project. CONCLUSION The proposed single-family subdivision, as conditioned, represents a project that would be consistent with the proposed zoning district as well as with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council determines that the necessary findings for approval are in evidence, adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, and approves Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-2022-02416 and Rezoning Application RZ-2024-00156, Zinco Subdivision, subject to the attached conditions. c: Zinco Holding, LLC Horrocks Attachments Findings Draft Conditions Location Map General Plan Map Zoning Map Draft Ordinance & Proposed Zoning Map Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), Initial Study and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP)- [AVAILABLE ONLINE - CLICK HERE] Tentative Map - Cover Sheet/Grading, Drainage, & Utilities/Trees Public Comments Planning Commission Staff Report April 9, 2024 [AVAILABLE ONLINE - CLICK HERE] FINDINGS ZINCO HOLDING, LLC TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP APPLICATION S-2022-02416 REZONING APPLICATION RZ-2024-00156 ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The following two findings are necessary for approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration: 1.

The Mitigated Negative Declaration and its supporting documentation reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Redding. TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66474) In accordance with Section 66474 of the Government Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. That the density or use of the proposed map is consistent with the Genual Plan designation of Residential 2 to 3.5 Units per Acre and Residential 3.5 to 6 Units per Acre or applicable area and specific plans as specified in Section 65451 of the Government Code. Currently, two existing parcels make up the project site. The property addressed as 3150 Jordan Lane has a General Plan designation of "Residential, 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre" and the property addressed as 3250 Jordan Lane, "Residential, 3.5 to 6 dwelling units per acre." The proposed map subdivides each of the two parcels into 8 lots for an overall total of 16 lots. The density of the project is consistent with the General Plan. The project proposes a rezoning of both properties from their current designations of "RS -3" Residential Single -Family to "RS -3.5" Residential Single -Family in order for the density of the project to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, a rezoning of 3250 Jordan Lane would make the property's zoning consistent with the General Plan: It is currently zoned for 3 units per acre while the General Plan calls for a minimum of 3.5 units per acre. 2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan or area or specific plans. c The project's street and lot design conform to the standards of the General Plan and Zoning W Ordinance within the guidelines and purpose of the "RS -3.5" District. Adequate transportation and utility infrastructure exist adjacent to the project. The Conditions of Approval require E construction of utilities and allow for their logical extension to surrounding properties. They also require improvements to Jordan Lane and Deodar Way including curb, gutter, and Q sidewalk. In addition, the Conditions of Approval require the undergrounding of overhead lines along Deodar Way in accordance with General Plan policy. S-2022-02416/Zinco Holding, LLC Findings 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density and type of development due to steepness of terrain; location of water courses; size or shape of the property; inadequate frontage, access, or building area; or other physical condition. The site is relatively flat with no steepness of terrain and does not contain any area within the 100 -year floodplain. There are no physical conditions that would make the site physically unsuitable for the proposed density and type of development proposed with this tentative map application. 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. A Biological Resources Assessment was completed for the project site in 2024 by Vestra Resources. An initial study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have been prepared for the project. The only potentially significant impacts identified with the project were to Redding checkerbloom, dubious pea, and Henderson's bent grass. Protocol level preconstruction surveys for these special status plants are required with the MND and in the conditions of approval for the project. If any of these special status plants are positively identified onsite, consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is required. With the adoption of the MND and its associated Mitigation Monitoring Program the project would have no significant effect on the environment. The conditions of approval also contain provisions for the protection of nesting birds and bats that may inhabit the site. With these avoidance and minimization measures in place, the project would not cause substantial harm to the environment or wildlife. 5. The design of ' the proposed division and improvements will not cause serious public health problems. Adequate measures have been applied with the Conditions of Approval to address potential concerns related to public health, including, but not limited to, provisions for water for domestic use and fire protection, extension of sanitary sewer facilities to ensure proper management of wastewater, installation of necessary storm drainage, construction of public streets and sidewalk, the undergrounding of overhead utilities along Deodar Way, and provision for proper and orderly timing for construction of necessary improvements. The Conditions of Approval also require the project to loop water to the existing stub to the north. west of the subdivision to improve municipal water quality in the area. 6. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. W r There are no easements that grant public right-of-way across the project site. Any Bureau of w Land Management patent easements that may remain are conditioned to be abandoned with the map. In addition to dedication of public right-of-way for streets interior to the subdivision, additional easements are required for the two detention ponds required for stormwater Q management and associated infrastructure. These easements are necessary for the maintenance S-2022-02416/Zinco Holding; LLC Findings of these stormwater features by the City.

The applicant has flagrantly violated Redding's Tree Management Ordinance and should be fined the maximum amount allowed under the ordinance as originally suggested by the Planning Department. 2. The Biological Survey done on the project by Wildland Resource Managers listed two special -status plants: The nine -awned pappus grass (Enneapogon desvauxii, California Rare Plant Rank 2B.2) and hairy erioneuron (Erioneuron pilosum, CRPR 213.3). As you may be aware, species designated with the 2B CRPR status meet the definitions of "Rare" or "Endangered" pursuant to Section 15380(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, a Categorical Exemption cannot be made in this case and mitigation measures must be implemented. (We realize the consultant did not notate these as rare to the Planning Department as is required.) 3. The project was given a categorical exemption because it is under 5 acres in size, however there is a requirement under CEQA Section 15332, subsection a. "The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies oswell cis with applicable zoning designations and regulobons"This project is not consistent with applicable zoning applications designations and requires azoning change thus the project doesnotnneettherequirernentsfora[otegorica| Exemption and an Initial Study or EIR must be prepared.

David Ledger, President Cc: Jeremy Pagan Lily Toy Danny Castro Aaron Hatch Christian Curtis Planning [OrnnniBiOn David Ledger President Shasta Environmental Alliance 530-355_8542 From: _ To: Castro, Danny; Toy, Lilv Cc: Subject: Zinco Holding, LLC rezoning of 3150 & 3250 Jordan Lane Date: Friday, April 18, 2025 5:02:25 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Redding; please be careful with links or attachments. To The Planning Commission, Hello, My name is�. I live the requested subdivision at 3150 & 3250 Jordan Lane. I have observations and concerns. My first observation stems from the clearing of trees and brush which started a little over a year ago. That clearing started even before the meeting on 4-9-24 I attended regarding the rezoning request by Zinco Holding. It is my understanding that unpermitted clearing of trees is against regulations and warrants consequences, such as fines for every tree cut without a permit. That meeting last year touched on this issue but shelved any further persuit of Zinco or their tree cutting employees. A year later, those cut trees lie in brush piles as they did right after cutting. If nothing else, this is an obvious fire hazard. I have heard nothing regarding consequences to Zinco or the company or people doing the cutting. Has the planning commission turned a blind eye to this offense? The Current Project Application report for this project contains an elaborate and comprehensive map of all the trees and brush that were on those lots prior to the rezoning request and meeting last year. Credit where credit is due for the work put into that map and the condition of the foliage. However, the map is now laughable and woefully inaccurate. It just as well show the current brush piles. A fraction of the trees shown on that map still exist. The subdivision map shows a small fraction of those trees to remain for some of the houses to be built. And if the subdivision map is to be believed, some of those remaining trees will be in the footprint of their respective houses. That doesn't fit with any fire organization's definition of "defensible space". Responses by Mr. Castro, included in the current package available online, have attempted to address any excess stormwater runoff from the subdivision, exceeding the detention basins, will be into the Sulphur Creek and Boulder Creek basins to the northwest. He states there are no "wetlands". I would invite Mr. Castro or Ms. Toy to visit and walk the area north and west of the proposed subdivision during the wet months. The landscape is too flat for adequate runoff to occur at an acceptable rate. Runoff that occurs, is in all directions, including through the current housing to the northeast of the subdivision. The residents in that area will take exception to the statement there are no wetlands. Those residents have had to take into account the ponding that occurs in their backyards. It does not all go to Sulphur Creek or Boulder Creek! It goes from their backyard to the storm sewer along Deodar Way. Slowly! This could be construed as a health hazard. We do not want any additional runoff! Another observation I have, and felt, is the inadequacy of Deodar Way for any increased traffic, even if speed limits are observed. The condition of the surface of the roadway exhibits inadequate repairs of repairs. Inattentive drivers may find themselves out of control during evasive maneuvers if children, pedestrians or pets happen to get in their way. Increased traffic, especially construction traffic will only make the situation worse. The map in the report notes the constricted lane width just west of the mobile home park. An 18' wide road with curbs on either side will cause problems until it is widened somehow in the future. That is not a comfortable situation with two way traffic and will likely lead to property damage, if not personal injury. I'm refering to construction traffic, waste disposal trucks, and street sweepers to name a few. Maybe Deodar has been swept too many times and that is the reason for the condition of the roadway. A concern I have is the size of the homes and the lots they sit on. My research has shown that these homes and lots will be smaller than most of the existing R-3 zoned properties in the area. It isn't apparent to me that these new homes will have garages. If they do, then the home square footage will be even more imbalanced with the current neighborhood. If they don't, then where will the residents park? Modern neighborhoods don't plan on street parking in a subdivision of this size. Street parking can lead to property damage and vandalism. So for the above observations, I am against the rezoning of these properties to R-3.5 and construction of the subdivision as proposed. I hope the planning commission looks beyond the possibility of a new revenue source and fully looks into the ramifications of rezoning and approving this subdivision by Zinco Holdings as proposed.

Good eveinn My name is We own a Home in the area zinco holdings wants to rezone and build 16 single family ho ie-,4s.e an severs neighbors have multiple concerns with and have several questions we would like answers to as to the threat to our property's it poses. Thanks for taking the time to read this email. For starters Id like to see the environmental impact report as to the areas are wetlands and hold millions of gallons of water thus the winter months. at are the drainage plans for and in ,where 1 is the water going to shed. Secondly what is the mitigation for the traffic on the road ways. Deodar is in shambles and already has a speeding problem with inultiple family's that have children. There should be a traffic plan and attention to the poor condition of the roadway. I have wrote the city about speed bumps being installed due to the fact there has been multiple high-speed chases via ipd thru our neighborhood. Also I'd like to understand what the intent is for the property. I see they want to build 16 single family homes. Are we talking about hud housing. Multiple story building or similar to the 1081 lake Blvd property's by Kennett investors. Or are we talking about actual houses. There isn't enough law enforcement in this area to manage another tragedy like that one. Are they adding additional access and egress into the properties to facilitate the additional traffic, of are the residents and tax payers for the city just gonna have to eat it. I know the city's deficit is over 5 million. at are the plans for the substation and park they want to build as this goes up for round 2. Are the contractors licensed. As I'm a registered LTO with the state of California,. I have legal concerns as they first face of clearing was being done by what I can only imagine are milicensed contractors. That didn't hold a LTO, of even a c49. formerly C -61/D-49 , which requires passing the Law & Business and C-49 Trade exams. As this land area holds ever greens and timber. It's required to have a forester Write a plan of be filed under an exemption. As the property's are over 3 acres, it has a second subset of rules and regulations that need to be followed pursing I'm concemd there are going to be shortcuts taken with out the proper paperwork- being pursued and or licenses. I'd like to see a engineered drawing of the site. And will be requesting one from city with all supporting documents pertaining to this development. 022M From: _ To: Castro, Danny Subject: Zinco holdings Jordan lane re zoning Date: Friday, April 18, 2025 7:39:36 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Redding; please be careful with links or attachments. Hello, I'm concerned about the vegetation that was cut illegally by zinco holdings and left scattered across the apns for the proposed development on Jordan lane, as the governor has already decalerd state of emergency and the overwhelming fire season that is coming upon us. The piles left pose a huge fire risk to our neighbor hood and our community. Sections 4551 and 4562, Public Resources Code. Reference: Sections 4423, 4513, 4551.5, and 4562, :Public Resources Code. And in the applied documents all vegitation was to be removed before fire season. And as per California timber harvest rules,April 15 winter ops are lifted. The slash and downed trees all remain on site. It seems that there has been alot of foul play already on this project and it hasn't even really began. This is very concerning to the neighbors and my self. There has been very little to no communication since the initial plan was conveyed. As well as during the winter months starting in October the zinco holdings property and the adjacent property hold millions of gallons of water that drain through all homes on deodar. This already imposes problems that we have to deal with. Several large diversion ditches had to be installed that help shed the access surface water. There is at anything thru the winter months 8 to 10 inches of water and millions of frogs and multiple species that use for habitat. Keith's towing is very familiar with this area due to numerous recoverys for trucks and cars that get stuck. Deodar road is completely falling apart. You can clearly see where the potholing has occur and contractors have done work on the utilitys the pavement has sank and broken the asphalt and destroyed the driving surface. There are currently no speed bumps installed or traffic control devices with a choke point. This poses new risk and possibility property damage. As stated in the building plan no changes were to be made to deodar. I would support closing deodar to thru traffic with a fire gate. Speed is a huge issue on the street with multiple speeders that fly down the street. Rpd has been on several chases thru the street. That cause concern for my family as we have children and animals. I hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks
