9 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Regents certified the University of California, Santa Barbara s (UCSB) Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and the LRDP Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) on September 16, The campus submitted the 2010 LRDP (sometimes referred to as Vision 2025 ) to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for review and approval in May of 2011 and the CCC certified the LRDP in November There have been two other amendments to the 2010 LRDP since submittal to the CCC and before CCC certification. The first amendment revised a seismic policy (GEO-1). The second amendment revised land use acres on West Campus, added the 64-acre Ocean Meadows Golf Course property to the LRDP, and adjusted the land use designations on the Facilities Management site and the Devereux South Knoll site. This will be the 3 rd amendment to the 2010 LRDP and the first one after CCC certification. ACTIONS ANALYZED IN THIS ADDENDUM 1. Revise LRDP FEIR Measure BIO-3D (MM BIO-3D); 2. Amend the 2010 LRDP to include the Coal Oil Point Reserve Management Plan (COPRMP), 3. Revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation to allow a confined animal facility at the COPR Director s Residence and add a new LRDP Policy, 4. Animal Keeping and a confined animal facility at the Reserve Director s Residence 5. Amend the 2010 LRDP to correct a text error for parking spaces in LRDP Table A.1: Summary 6. Amend LRDP Figures D.1 to correct an error in the boundary of the North Campus to include a piece of private property. This Addendum analyzes potential environmental impacts to revise LRDP FEIR MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the 2010 LRDP, correct a text error regarding parking space counts in 2010 LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and adjust boundaries on the LRDP Figures to show a private property within the North Campus. Section of the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3 (the "CEQA Guidelines") provides that "[w]hen an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: University of California, Santa Barbara 1-1

10 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Section 15162(d) provides that if a Supplemental EIR is not required pursuant to the foregoing analysis, "the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation." This environmental analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and University of California Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA, to determine the appropriate level of environmental review for the above Proposed Actions by the University of California that were not described in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Long Range Development Plan certified by the UC Regents in September 2010 (SCH# ). Readers should review this document in conjunction with the 2010 FEIR, which contains a full analysis of all of the potential environmental impacts of the original project proposed by the 2010 LRDP. Addendums are not required to be circulated for public or agency comment pursuant to CEQA. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-2

11 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 1.1 PROJECT INFORMATION Project Title and Number: UC Santa Barbara 2010 LRDP Amendment #3 and Revisions to 2010 LRDP EIR. Lead Agency Name and Address: The Regents of the University of California 1111 Franklin Street Oakland, CA Contact Person and Phone Number: Shari Hammond (805) Project : Project s Sponsor s Name and Address: University of California, Santa Barbara University of California, Santa Barbara, Office of Campus Planning and Design, Santa Barbara, California, Custodian of the Administrative Record: University of California, Santa Barbara, Office of Campus Planning and Design 1.2 BACKROUND The Regent-approved 2010 LRDP and certified LRDP EIR evaluated the proposed increase in student population of 5,000 students (from the 20,000 student enrollment analyzed in the 1990 LRDP EIR), and commensurate increase of approximately 1,800 faculty and staff. To accommodate this increase in students and meet research and academic needs, the LRDP projected a need to build 5,000 additional student beds, 1,800 faculty/staff units, and an additional three million square feet of new academic and support space. UCSB submitted the 2010 Regent-certified LRDP to the CCC in May 2011 and it was certified by the CCC in November Measure BIO-3D The University will revise Measure BIO-3D (below) which was added as a response to comments from the California Department of Fish and Game (now Wildlife) during the public review process of the Draft LRDP EIR. Measure BIO-3D is being revised to match Coastal Commission requirements in the 2010 LRDP, Appendix 2 Campus Tree Trimming and Removal Program. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-3

12 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 BIO-3D To mitigate impacts to wildlife habitat the University shall apply the following replacement ratios for mature trees (8 inches or greater diameter at breast height) which are removed by LRDP construction: 10:1 for mature native trees; and 3:1 for mature non-native trees. Replacement trees shall be either sycamore, oak, or another native tree species. In the case when oak trees are removed, oak trees shall be used for replacements. Placement of replacement trees should be 20 feet minimum, and they shall be monitored, nurtured, and protected within the dripline to encourage survival of a minimum of 5 years. All trees of other biological importance shall be replaced at a ratio of 3:1. The proposed revised text of Measure BIO-3D is included in section 2.0, below. Coal Oil Point Reserve Management Plan Of the many CCC certified LRDP polices, Policy LU-33 requires the University to amend its LRDP within 2 years of certification to include the COPRMP. Policy LU-33 Within two years of the effective date of certification of the 2010 LRDP, the University shall prepare and submit a Coal Oil Point Reserve Coastal Management Plan to the Coastal Commission as an amendment to the 2010 LRDP. No new structures shall be approved on the Reserve until the Plan is certified by the Coastal Commission. The purpose of the Plan shall be to comprehensively identify existing and planned development, maintenance, and programs at the Reserve that are consistent with coastal resource protection under the Coastal Act and the certified LRDP. The COPR Coastal Management Plan shall specifically identify: a baseline of all existing development on the Reserve (including confined animal facilities); the development s date of installation; permitting history; existing Reserve programs (e.g., the snowy plover management, wetland restoration, native plant species cultivation); existing maintenance operations such as location, timing and methods of fuel modification; and status of habitat restoration activities. The Plan shall provide a detailed description of all development, maintenance, and programs that are proposed to continue on the Reserve. The Plan shall augment the biological resource mapping (Figure F.2) effort on campus, both on and off the Reserve, based on current (within 1 year) and historic resource surveys for all areas within 300 feet of proposed Reserve development, maintenance, or management programs. The Plan shall evaluate the consistency of the proposed development and activities with the Coastal Act. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-4

13 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 The COPRMP contains descriptions, policies, and actions to manage the Reserve s User, Conservation, Stewardship, Administrative, and Infrastructure and Facilities programs. In addition the COPRMP contains specific guidance and actions for the Snowy Plover program, Restoration activities, and Access on the Reserve. Potential environmental impacts for the Snowy Plover and Restoration programs and the Access Plan have all been analyzed through CEQA and both programs have received a Coastal Development Permit and/or have CCC approved Notice of Impending Developments (CDP , NOID 4-07, and NOID 1-10, respectively). The Snowy Plover and Access Plans were included in the Faculty and Family Student Housing, Open Space and Habitat Management Plan, Long Range Development Plan EIR (SCH# ) and an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the COPR Habitat Restoration Plan (SCH# ). As described above, all of the possible impacts of implementing the COPRMP have been analyzed and the analysis below confirms that no additional CEQA review is necessary and thus the preparation of an addendum is appropriate to include the CORPMP within the LRDP. Reserve Overlay Land Use Designation and New LRDP Policy The Reserve Director desires to keep pet goats at the Reserve Residence as a hobby. Keeping animals other than household pets (e.g., cats and dogs) requires a revision to allowed uses in the Reserve Overlay land use designation. In order to generalize the uses for future Reserve Directors the text including an animal confinement facility for pet animals will be inserted after Reserve Director s residence and the allowed use will be linked to a new LRDP Policy. Allowing Animal Keeping and an animal confinement facility at the Reserve Director s residence could potentially result in impacts not identified in the LRDP FEIR. Analysis provided in Section 3.0 determined that there are no new impacts from the animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the Reserve Director s Residence than those analyzed in the FEIR. Thus, the preparation of an addendum is appropriate to allow an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the Reserve Director s residence LRDP Table A.1: Summary LRDP Table A.1 summarizes the changes from the 1990 LRDP to the 2010 LRDP in enrollment, faculty and staff, building space square feet, housing, play fields, and parking spaces. In response to negotiations with the organization Sustainable University Now (SUN) Table A.1 was revised to reflect the desires of SUN depending on what the outcome of the CCC certification would be. Inaccurate text was inserted into the text of the table and the amendment will correct the inaccurate text. Adjustment to LRDP Figures An error was made in drawing the boundaries of a privately-owned residential-zoned property adjacent to the North Campus Open Space/North Campus-Sierra Madre Apartments project. The LRDP Figures are revised to show the private property. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-5

14 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 LRDP Consistency This proposed LRDP Amendment would be consistent with the 2010 LRDP objectives since the overall future enrollment would not exceed an additional 5,000 students (up to 25,000) and the number of student, faculty, and staff beds/units would not exceed the number analyzed in the LRDP EIR. The proposed Amendment would still promote and adhere to the following LRDP objectives: 1. Mature the Academic Programs; 2. Strengthen the Campus Form; 3. House Students, Faculty, and Staff; 4. Integrate Sustainable Practices; and 5. Contribute to Regional Solutions. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-6

19 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 1.3 SUMMARY OF PROJECT CHANGES AND NEW INFORMATION As a result of the 2010 LRDP certification process with the CCC, new tree replacement ratios were determined as set forth in 2010 LRDP Appendix 2, Campus Tree Trimming and Removal Program. These tree replacement ratios are similar to but not specifically the same as mitigation in the LRDP EIR (MM BIO-3D). This Addendum proposes to replace MM BIO-3D with language from the CCC certified LRDP Appendix 2, Section 2.4.1(c): This LRDP Amendment proposes to add the Coal Oil Point Reserve Management Plan and would not make any text or figure revisions to the 2010 LRDP to complete this action. The 2010 LRDP currently includes an overlay of the Reserve which restricts development and uses on the Reserve in order to protect the sensitive habitats and species found there (LRDP Figure D.2). The COPRMP is described on Pages B-22 and 23 of the 2010 LRDP. During the 2010 LRDP certification process with the CCC a new policy (LRDP Policy LU-33) required the University to add the COPRMP to LRDP as an amendment. In 2005 the Reserve Director installed a 2,145 square-foot animal pen and was keeping approximately 35 goats as pets at her residence in the COPR Field Station, and animal keeping is not consistent with the current land use designation Reserve Overlay. This LRDP Amendment would revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation to allow having the confined animal facility for animal keeping at the Reserve Director s residence. This LRDP Amendment also proposes to correct parking space text errors in Table A.1: Summary, on Page A-4 so that the information is accurate. An error was made in drawing the boundaries of a privately-owned residential-zoned property adjacent to the North Campus Open Space/North Campus-Sierra Madre Apartments project. The LRDP Figures are revised to show the private property (Figure 3). The following is an excerpt from the SUN agreement: 2.2 Parking. UCSB shall reduce the amount of automobile use by faculty, staff and students to and from campus by reducing the number of total trips, herein referred to in this Article as vehicle trips. UCSB shall implement the following measures as a means of accomplishing the above vehicle trip reduction commitment: a. Reduce total proposed future parking availability on campus by 650 parking spaces (from 14,230 to 13,580 spaces) exclusive of parking associated with Coastal Access mandated by the Coastal Commission, on the condition that the reduction is authorized by the California Coastal Commission and a residential parking permit program is implemented by the County of Santa Barbara for Isla Vista. University of California, Santa Barbara 1-11

20 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 b. Strive to meet the stretch goal of reducing overall future parking by an additional 1,000 spaces below the number set forth in Section 2.2.a of this Agreement from 13,580 to 12,580 spaces or, in the event an Isla Vista residential parking permit program is not implemented or the Commission does not support or otherwise approve a 650 space reduction in future parking availability proposed in the 2010 LRDP, from 14,230 to 13,230 spaces. The underlined areas in the excerpt from the SUN agreement show where the text became inaccurate. The 14,230 in the sentence in paragraph (b.) (double underlined) refers to what the parking supply would be if the CCC did not agree to the reduction in paragraph (a.) (a reduction of 650 spaces). Since the CCC agreed to the 650 reduction in parking spaces, the sentence or the Commission does not support or otherwise approve a 650 space reduction in future parking availability proposed in the 2010 LRDP, from to 13,230 spaces in paragraph (b.) is no longer needed. The confusion came in November 5, 2014 memo from SUN to the CCC where they still included this as a footnote since they didn t know if CCC would agree to the reduction or not (SUN Memo attached). The LRDP text edit will delete the last 5 words ( or 13,230 spaces if not ) in the Total box in the Parking Spaces row in Table A-1, and end the sentence after adopted.

27 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum # California Coastal Act Subsequent to The Regent s approval of the 2010 LRDP and FEIR, UCSB submitted the 2010 LRDP to California Coastal Commission (CCC) for their review for certification and the LRDP was certified by the CCC in November The proposed LRDP amendments will be submitted to the CCC for certification. The amendments to the LRDP will be approved by the UCOP President prior to sending them to the CCC for certification. The following is an action from the Regents certification of the FEIR and approval of the 2010 LRDP in September 2010 regarding potential CCC modifications to LRDP authorizing the UCOP President to approve LRDP amendments. F. Authorize the President or designee to modify the LRDP, if required, in response to comments received from the California Coastal Commission, provided that any substantial changes in principles or policies of the LRDP would be brought to the Regents for consideration.

29 3.0 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum #1 The LRDP FEIR was previously determined to have either no impact or a less than significant impact without mitigation incorporated into the Project on Agricultural, and Mineral Resources these environmental topics are not included below. This addendum determines that the LRDP amendments and the revision to MM BIO-3D would not result in any new or substantially more severe significant effects that were not examined in the LRDP FEIR. Fifteen issue areas are analyzed in the LRDP FEIR, Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biology, Cultural Resources, Geology, hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Water Supply, Wastewater, and Utilities. Impacts to Geology Soils and Geotechnical were considered less than significant and no mitigation measures were required. measures were identified for each of the other issue areas. 3.1 AESTHETICS As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map corrections. The Proposed Action would not change building heights, block or impede scenic views, or result in significant changes to campus aesthetics. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed aesthetic impacts of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.1). The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impact to scenic vistas and change in visual character of the Main Campus and concluded there would be less than significant impact with mitigation on scenic vistas from the development of the Ocean Road corridor and within the West Campus and visual character of the natural areas on West Campus. The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from new sources of substantial light or glare on campus that could affect daytime or nighttime views in the area. The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation for cumulative impacts to regional scenic vistas and new sources of light and glare. The Proposed Action will not involve a change in impacts to scenic vistas or significant light or glare since any trees removed on campus for projects or maintenance would be replaced at required ratios determined by the CCC. The Coal Oil Point Reserve would be managed as it is presented in the LRDP FEIR in Sections 3.0 and 4.12 and would be restored with native vegetation. There is no new development proposed at the Reserve Field Station and there would be no new aesthetic impacts. A 2,145 square-foot animal pen made of metal panels (each of which measures 5 feet high by 16 feet long) would house approximately 30 goats at the Reserve Director s Residence. The panels are secured by T-posts and are easily moved around and re-arranged. Since the animal pen would be within the confines of the Reserve Director s residence yard, which is fenced with a 6-foot-high wooden fence and is not visible from the public areas outside the Reserve Field Station, there would not be University of California, Santa Barbara 3-1

30 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 any new aesthetic impacts that were not previously identified in the FEIR. Having up to 30 goats in the animal pen would not result in aesthetic impacts since the goats would also be within the area of the wooden fence. The text correction of parking spaces or the boundary adjustment on the LRDP figures would not change campus aesthetics. There would not be an impact to aesthetic resources. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to aesthetics. 3.2 AIR QUALITY/GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS As revised, the Proposed Action to change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map corrections would not change the area of disturbance from the LRDP FEIR since housing or academic space is still proposed to be developed. Traffic volumes would be the same as in the LRDP FEIR. None of the proposed actions result in operational air quality or greenhouse gas emission impacts. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed air quality impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR- Re-circulated DEIR Section 4.2). The FEIR concluded there would be a significant and unavoidable impact from daily operational emissions (primarily from vehicle emissions) above significance thresholds and a cumulatively considerable increase of non-attainment pollutants (ozone and PM10). The FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact with mitigation from short-term construction emissions and short-term exposure to TACs. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impact, from LRDP and regionally cumulative increased emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs) from campus build-out. Although, greenhouse gas emissions were not required to be analyzed in CEQA at the time the Draft EIR was circulated for public review, a re-circulated DEIR (RDEIR) evaluated impacts from Greenhouse Gases from full build-out of the LRDP. The RDEIR concluded full LRDP build-out would not have an impact on the environment with respect to generating emissions or conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The Proposed Action will not result in increases to air quality or greenhouse gas emissions than evaluated in the FEIR since the amount of proposed development (number of housing units and square foot of academic and support) would remain the same. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to air quality.

31 UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum #2 3.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES As revised, the Proposed Action to change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments, biological resource impacts would remain the same as analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed impacts to biological resources from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.3). The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from direct and indirect impacts to aquatic and wetland resources, Southern tarplant, and active bird and raptor nests on campus. The FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant cumulative impact to biological resources. The Proposed Action to revise MM BIO-3D to match the tree replacement ratios determined by the CCC could potentially reduce the number of trees replaced on campus than required by MM BIO-3D since the CCC ratios require 3:1 replacement for all native trees instead of 10:1. The California Department of Fish and Game (now Wildlife-DFW) sent a comment letter on the Draft LRDP EIR stating that no analysis was presented in the Draft EIR for the number of species of trees predicted to be removed and since trees provide a benefit to wildlife they should be mitigated. The DFW stated they require a 10:1 replacement for native trees and a 5:1 replacement for all other trees. The DFW stated the County of Santa Barbara requires a 10:1 replacement ratio for oak trees. Additionally the DFW requires native trees be planted to replace all removed trees. In response to the DFW comment, the University added MM BIO-3D requiring replacement ratio of 10:1 for mature native trees, 3:1 for mature non-native trees, and 3:1 for all trees of other biological importance. In addition, at the time of the Draft EIR the LRDP contained policy SCEN- 5 requiring the replacement of scenic or biologically significant trees at a ratio of 3:1. During the LRDP review process with the CCC Appendix 2, Campus Tree Trimming and Removal Program was created by the CCC. This program contains aggressive policy for the protection and replacement of trees for the purpose of protecting and preserving raptor and bird habitat and nests with specific trimming and removal requirements. The CCC requires any tree with biological significance be replaced 3:1 and only oak trees will be replaced 10:1. The aggressive tree trimming and removal polices combined with the required replacement ratios will result in mitigation that will achieve the same protection as the DFW mitigation in the long term. Impacts would be as analyzed in the FEIR and impacts would be less than significant as analyzed in the FEIR (Impact BIO-3). The COPRMP protects biological resources at the Reserve. The Snowy Plover, Restoration, and Access Plans of the COPRMP have been, and continue to be implemented and are for the purpose of protecting and enhancing biological resources. These plans/programs have undergone prior CEQA review and have Coastal Development Permits and/or CCC approved Notice of Impending Developments. There would be no new impacts to biological resources from adding the COPRMP to the LRDP than were analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-3

32 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 A 2,145 square-foot animal pen currently exists within the Reserve Director s yard to house pet goats and is currently empty. The animal pen in itself does not result in impacts to biological resources as it is constructed within the Field Station fence and its construction did not require grading or removal of vegetation. The new LRDP policy for animal keeping would allow no more than 10 adult goats, 20 newborn goats, and up to 30 goats at one time in the animal pen. Manure would be managed by removing manure from the animal pen twice a week and used in the greenhouse plants for fertilizer and mulching. The goats would not be allowed to graze outside the Field Station and therefore would not impact sensitive habitats in the Reserve or adjacent open spaces such as West Campus Bluffs. There would be no new impacts to biological resources from correcting the text regarding parking spaces in LRDP Table A.1: Summary or the boundary adjustment on the LRDP figures. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to biological resources. 3.4 CULTURAL RESOURCES As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The Proposed Action s area of disturbance would be the same as analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed impacts to cultural and historical resources from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.4). The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact with mitigation from ground disturbing construction activities such as grading, excavation, trenching, and relocation of existing roadways, parking lots and landscaped areas. These activities have the potential to impact archeological resources including human remains. The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be no impacts to historical resources from the LRDP build-out. The Proposed Action would not result in increased impacts to cultural resources since none of the actions change the development footprint/disturbed areas on campus as evaluated in the LRDP FEIR On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to cultural resources. 3.5 GEOLOGY AND SOILS As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement University of California, Santa Barbara 3-4

33 UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum #2 facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The Proposed Action s area of disturbance and proximity to seismic activity would be the same as analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed impacts to geology and soils from full build-out of the LRDP (Section 4.5). The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from liquefaction, project and cumulative seismic ground shaking and seismic related ground failure, and cumulative geologic hazards. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in conditions that would result in new or additional impacts to geological resources. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to geologic resources. 3.6 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed hazards and hazardous materials impacts from the build-out of the LRDP (Section 4.6). The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from the routine use, generation of hazardous chemicals by laboratories and in maintenance and support operations or from a safety hazard for people residing or working within areas within the Airport Land Use Plan area. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from the continued use of a site on campus listed by the state as a hazardous waste site and increased risk from wildland fires. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant with mitigation impacts transport of hazardous material and upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials, physical interference with the Campus Emergency Operations Plan on a temporary basis, and the potential for construction/landscape workers to encounter contaminated soil/groundwater and unexploded ordnance from historical uses. The FEIR concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from exposure of additional populations to emissions related to the Venoco facility and increased use and transport of hazardous materials and potential exposure of such hazards to an increased population. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in conditions that would result in new or additional impacts from hazards and hazardous materials than analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to hazards and hazardous materials. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-5

34 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 3.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified LRDP FEIR analyzed hydrology and water quality impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (Section 4.7). The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant with mitigation from construction site runoff, increased runoff from increased impervious area from construction, alteration of groundwater infiltration, and flooding. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant with mitigation impacts from construction site erosion, inundation from a tsunami event, and cumulative impacts to regional watershed water quality from erosion or flooding. Animal keeping at the Reserve Director s residence has the potential to result in an impact to water quality if animal waste, animal feed, or sediment were to runoff the site during a rain event. Manure would be removed from the animal pen two times a week and used in the greenhouse for fertilizer and mulch. In addition, the proposed LRDP policy requires a manure management plan to be prepared and approved by the CCC. The animal pen would also be designed to meet the requirements of any applicable state laws and regulations regarding stormwater runoff from confined animal facilities. Implementation of a manure management plan and any applicable design requirements would allow the project s impacts to remain less than significant with respect to water quality. The Proposed Action would not involve a change in conditions that would result in new or additional impacts to hydrology and water quality other than those already analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to hydrology and water quality. 3.8 LAND USE AND PLANNING As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Land Use impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (Section 4.8). The FEIR concluded impacts would be less than significant and the LRDP would not conflict with the Santa Barbara County Comprehensive Plan and Local Coastal Program, City of Santa Barbara s University of California, Santa Barbara 3-6

35 UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum #2 General Plan and Local Coastal Plan, City of Goleta s General Plan/Coastal Plan, Airport Land Use Plan, or result in development that would be substantially incompatible with existing or planned land uses and physically divide an existing community. Impacts would be less than significant. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant cumulative impact and would not result in the development of land uses that are substantially incompatible with existing adjacent land uses or planned uses in the surrounding area. The LRDP amendment will revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation to allow animal confinement facilities at the Reserve Director s residence, and no land use incompatibilities or conflicts would result because the animal pen would have a very small footprint (2,145 square feet), would be a bucolic use in an area of open space with no close neighbors, and would be entirely contained within the existing confines of the Reserve Director s residence, which is currently fenced. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to land use. 3.9 NOISE As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Noise impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (Section 4.9). The FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact with mitigation from temporary construction noise and exposure to additional populations to airport noise, vehicular traffic and stationary noise. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts from noise POPULATION AND HOUSING As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-7

36 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 The certified FEIR analyzed Population and Housing Impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.10 of the Re-circulated EIR). The FEIR concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from housing opportunities not keeping pace with increases in enrollment and/or employees anticipated under the LRDP and indirect contribution to a demand for housing when combined with demand from University s growth and other growth in the county could exceed the supply. The FEIR concluded the LRDP would not directly cause substantial population growth in the area and cause population growth through the extension of infrastructure and concluded there would be less than significant impact. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in population and housing conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to population and housing PUBLIC SERVICES As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Public Services impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.11). The FEIR concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from expansion of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department services and facilities except construction related impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. The FEIR also concluded there would be cumulative significant and unavoidable impacts from increased demand for new or expanded elementary school facilities beyond the current capacity of the School District. Physical environmental construction impacts would be less than significant. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from an increased demand for campus law enforcement services and facilities and Santa Barbara County Fire Department services and facilities, construction impacts from increased public school enrollment requiring new or expanded facilities from the increase in on-campus staffing, increased demand for library facilities, and cumulative construction impacts from increased demand for new or expanded police and fire service facilities. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in public service conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to public services. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-8

37 UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum # RECREATION As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Recreation impacts from full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 3.12). The FEIR concluded there would be Significant and Unavoidable cumulative impacts to onand off-campus recreational facilities from the cumulative population growth. Increased use may require improvements to existing facilities or construction of new facilities, both which could result in environmental impacts. The FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact with mitigation resulting from increased population and the deterioration of existing facilities including off-campus, local beaches, and result in impacts to coastal access points and coastal recreational resources. The FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact from increased demand for on campus recreational facilities. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in recreation conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to recreation TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Transportation and Traffic impacts from the full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.12). The FEIR concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from an increase in peak hour traffic volumes using City of Goleta and County of Santa Barbara intersections and roadways and Caltrans freeway facilities resulting in degraded conditions. The FEIR also concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from increased parking demands in Isla Vista. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from increased traffic on campus roadways resulting in congestion during peak travel hours and an increase in bicycle and pedestrian traffic resulting in congestion. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from increased transit and ridership and increased on-campus parking demand. measure Traffic-1A and 2A would be implemented by the City of Goleta and the County of Santa Barbara to make improvements to the impacted intersections and roadways. Improvements to Los Carneros Road have been made north of Mesa Road to Hollister Avenue. The 101 Los Carneros Road bridge and on and off ramps are currently under construction. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-9

38 UC Santa Barbara LRDP FEIR Addendum #2 The Proposed Action would not result in a significant change in traffic or transportation conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. There are 650 fewer parking spaces proposed in the LRDP than the Regent-certified LRDP. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to traffic and transportation WATER As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Water impacts from the full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR, Recirculated DEIR Section 4.14). The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from the construction of new water lines and/or the replacement of existing water lines and from the increase in the cumulative demand for potable water beyond the total supplies available to the Goleta Water District in a normal runoff year. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts from LRDP growth requiring pumping of additional groundwater from the Goleta Groundwater Bain. The Proposed Action would not result in a change in water conditions analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to water WASTEWATER As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed Wastewater impacts form the full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Recirculated DEIR, Section 4.15). The FEIR concluded there would be a significant and unavoidable impact from an increase in wastewater flows beyond the University- owned plant design capacity, the permitted capacity owned by the University under the Goleta Sanitary District s (GSD) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), and the GSD s NPDES permitted capacity. The FEIR concluded the overall design capacity of GSD and Goleta West Sanitary District s plant would not be exceeded. The FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from construction impacts to install new or relocate pipelines and utility conduits. The Proposed Action would not result in an increase or decrease in wastewater generation. University of California, Santa Barbara 3-10

39 UC Santa Barbara LRDP EIR Addendum #2 On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to waste water OTHER UTILITIES As revised, the Proposed Action would change MM BIO-3D, add the COPRMP to the LRDP, revise the Reserve Overlay land use designation and add new policy for an animal confinement facility and animal keeping at the COPR Reserve Director s residence, correct parking space text errors in LRDP Table A.1: Summary, and make minor map adjustments. The certified FEIR analyzed impact to Other Utilities such as solid waste, energy, fire flow, heater and cooling and seawater systems and telecommunications from the full build-out of the LRDP (FEIR Section 4.16). The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be significant and unavoidable impacts from the increase of solid waste disposal. Measures would be implemented to divert solid waste from landfills and implement more stringent recycling programs. The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be less than significant impacts with mitigation from potential construction impacts from installation of utility lines. The LRDP FEIR concluded there would be a less than significant impact from the increased demand for electricity and natural gas resources. The Proposed Action would not result in an increase or decrease in solid waste, a need for more utility lines, or a demand for natural gas or utilities. The overall population, number of housing units/beds, and Academic Uses land use designation would remain similar to what was analyzed in the LRDP FEIR. On the basis of the above-analyses, the Proposed Action does not present the potential for new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts to other utilities.
