INITIAL STUDY (ATTACHMENT)" PA-0900048 CHURCH OF GOD/ OLETATEEM �.. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Site Approval application to construct a 2,100 square foot religious assembly building for a maximum of fifty people. (Use Type: Religious Assembly-Neighborhood) The project is located on the west side of North Hubbard Avenue, 513 feet north of Cherokee Road, east of Stockton. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: 1. Water 1. a. The project site is subject to flood hazard because it is located in the A (100 year flood) zone. If approved any new development will have to comply with Development Title Section 9- 1605 regarding flood hazards. The Department of Public Works will require that all new buildings be constructed with the finished floor at least one foot above the 100-year flood level. 3. Plant and Animal Life 3. a. & b. The Natural Diversity Database does not list any rare, endangered, or threatened species or habitat located on or near the site. Referrals have been sent to the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) for review. If SJCOG determines that the applicant may participate in the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), and if the applicant chooses to participate, then the proposed project is consistent with the SJMSCP, as amended, as reflected in the conditions of project approval for this proposal. Pursuant to the Final EIR/EIS for San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), dated November 15, 2000, and certified by SJCOG on December 7, 2000, implementation of the SJMSCP is expected to reduce impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a level of less-than-significant. If the applicant chooses not to participate, then the applicant will be required to participate in a similar mechanism that provides the same level of mitigation. 5. Noise 5 a. The project site lies outside of the 65 dB noise contour line of State Route 99. Additionally, there are no outdoor activity areas proposed. Therefore, any impacts due to noise are expected to be less than significant. 8. Utilities and Public Service 8.a. The underlying project will not be required to be served by public services. Water will be provided by an on-site well. Sewer services will be through a septic system. Storm water drainage will be retained on-site. 9. Transportation/ Circulation 9.a. The religious assembly will employ four workers and expects a maximum of twenty vehicle trips per shift. The Department of Public Works has determined that the proposed use will have a less-than-significant impact on traffic in the area. v Initial Study -7 - Rev 5-00
