Res ectfully su fitted, 1 Ke in Wilson, P.E. Director of Community Services & Water SKW:pp Attachments cc: City Attorney CITY OF VERNON COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT ON SI-NOR, INC. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A TRUCK TERMINAL AT 3689 BANDINI BOULEVARD (January 18, 1999) Si -Nor, Inc. has submitted an application for a conditional use permit as required by the Comprehensive'Zoning Ordinance Section 26.3.E-3(c) to operate a truck terminal at 3689 Bandini Boulevard. Si -Nor, Inc. is a refuse collection company that is proposing to park their empty trash trucks at the facility when not in operation. The facilities operating hours will be from 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. seven days per week. Si -Nor, Inc. has had a history of activity dealing with occupying the proposed site. On October 18, 1996 they expressed interest in using the proposed site for a, "Material Recovery Center." Then in February of 1997 they applied for a conditional use permit to operate a truck terminal. Their application was incomplete and after a year of 'correspondence their application was rejected and returned. Si -Nor, Inc. was refunded 80% of their application fee on March 19, 1998. The previous occupant, L.A. Express Assembly and Distribution obtained a Certificate of Occupancy on November 26, 1991 to operate a trucking terminal. The building was demolished by Si -Nor, Inc. in August of 1997. The site was cleared and left as a dirt lot. However, due to lead contamination in the soil, Si -Nor, Inc. was required to provide environmental remediation by -1- 0 capping the site with an impermeable surface. 1. GENERAL PLAN With the approval of the conditional use permit the proposed use shall be in compliance with the General Plan. The site is located in the M-2 Zone, Heavy Industry. A truck terminal is a permitted use with the approval of a conditional use permit. 2. SITE The lot is currently an empty lot approximately one acre in size. The site has been temporarily capped to comply with Environmental Health Department requirements. Upon approval of this conditional use permit the applicant shall pave the lot according the submitted site plans. The said plan shows the site draining by sheet flow to Bandini Boulevard. The site, as proposed, is adequate in size, shape and topography for the proposed operation and provides adequate drainage. The site is on filled soil which contains elevated concentrations of heavy metals. The Environmental Health Department has notified the applicant that the site must meet all environmental requirements before occupying the facility. This includes, but is not limited to, the submittal of a hazardous materials closure report by the previous occupant. 3. ADVERSE EFFECT The proposed site is surrounded by industrial uses compatible with the proposed use. Although the Initial Study identifies potentially significant impacts from the project, revisions in the project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant, all set forth as conditions of -2- approval for this conditional use permit, will avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant impact on the environment will occur. Staff has therefore recommended adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. 4. ACCESS There is one driveway that accesses the site located on Bandini Boulevard. The proposed 50 foot driveway shall be shared by truck and automobile traffic accessing the site. The section of Bandini Boulevard fronting the proposed site has been built out to the Master Plan of Street widths as of June 16, 1992. Bandini Boulevard is of the adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated from the proposed operation. 5. VEHICLE MOVEMENTS Si -Nor, Inc. proposes to operate a truck terminal and park their 7 refuse collection vehicles on - site. The facility has been designed to accommodate 14 refuse trucks, however, the applicant currently only has 7 units in the area. Operating hours will be from 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. seven days per week. The first refuse truck begins its route at 3:00 a.m. at which time a security guard will open the gate. The office personnel officially opens the gate at 6:00 a.m.. Operation continues until 3:00 p.m. at which time the office personnel closes the gate and the security guard takes over until 6:00 a.m.. The drivers will drive their assigned trucks out of the facility at their designated time and return to the facility when their routes are complete. The trucks shall be returned to -3- the facility free of,any waste material. The facility has ample room on -site to provide the required number of truck and automobile parking and loading spaces. The proposed facility has provided 14 truck parking/loading spaces and 12 automobile parking spaces. The facility also has adequate maneuvering on -site to avoid queuing on Bandini Boulevard. The security guard will be instructed at what time the first driver will arrive at the site and will have the gate open at that time to prevent the driver from queueing on Bandini Boulevard. All employees will access the facility from the 40 foot driveway located on Bandini Boulevard. The trucks have routes in various cities such as, Torrance, Los Angeles, and Vernon. The trucks either stay in Vernon or proceed east on Bandini Boulevard to the I-710 Freeway South or North to their respective routes. The majority of the employee trips will also access and exit the site using Bandini Boulevard and travel to and from the I-710 Freeway. The section of Bandini Boulevard fronting the proposed site has been built out to the Master Plan of Street widths as of June 16, 1992. Bandini Boulevard is of the adequate size and pavement type to handle the traffic generated from the proposed operation. 6. OPERATIONS Si -Nor, Inc., will use the facility to operate a trucking and freight terminal. This facility will be the base of operation for routes located in the Cities of Torrance, Los Angeles, Vernon, Westwood, and other cities in the greater Los Angeles area. The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance requires that the project have l automobile parking space and 1 truck loading space on - site. The current site plan has ample space for parking, loading and maneuvering as required by the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has indicated that the gate fronting Bandini Boulevard will remain open during operating hours. All office functions will take place in the designated office area located in the office building. This area will include office space for the office personnel during operating hours and the security guard during non -operating hours. 7.

Thus, the project will not displace housing. III. GEOPHYSIGAL. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involwng:: a) Seismicity: fault rupture? p p X p a. The project is located in the seismically active southern California region. However, no active faults or Alquist-Priolo _i Special Studies Zones are known to traverse the City or the project area. To further avoid the impacts associated with fault- rupture a mitigation measure shall be implemented that requires all construction to be in compliance with all requisite seismic safety standards and requirements, providing adequate protection from seismic hazards. b) Seismicity ground shaking or liquefaction? p p X 0 b. According to the City's Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), the proposed project area is not considered potentially susceptible to liquefaction.! No impact is anticipated. c) Seismicity: seiche or tsunami? X d) Landslides or mudslides? ❑ ❑ Q X' c and d. The project is located in a densely developed central section of Los Angeles County. The project is at a considerable distance from the ocean and any large bodies of open water, and is not subject to seiches or tsunamis. The project area is flat, located away from hillsides, and is not affected by landslides or mudflows. e) Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading or fill? 0 p 0 X f) Subsidence of the land? ❑ 0 0 X g) Expansive soils? CI 00 X h) Unique geologic or physical features? p p p X e through h.. The site is currently vacant and paved, with no substantial subgiade structures, and no such "structures are proposed to be constructed. No substantial excavations are anticipated to occur with the proposed project, 'their will be limited grading and other site preparation activities on the proposed site and will not have the potential to result in unstable soil conditions or hange,the geological substructures. All construction activity will proceed in compliancewith the City requirements which inch measures to prevent erosion or unstable soil conditions. Therefore, this impact is considered less than significant. Vernon is a fully urbanized industrial city. No geologic features exist within the project area. The channelized Los Angeles River runs through the City, but the project will not affect the river. IV. WATER. Would the proposal result in a) ages in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff. O fl X a. The project is located in a highly urbanized area and is served by the existing drainage system. The entire site is currently paved and m the event of a storm, tainwater sheet flows to Ban,dini Boulevard. The proposed site Mall be completely with a drainage system dug diverts the storm water to an existing catch basin on Bandini Boulevard. Since the site has historically been paved and developed, the passibility of an impact associated with the dwage in the amount of surface' WSW in any water body is negligible. The proponent shall be required to comply with the Natiortal Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDLS) requirements and obtain a permit if necessary. As part of the facilities NPDES permit they shall follow bat management practices as outlined in the Indust iailCommercial Best Management Practices Handbook, for a truck terminal. Therefore, the impact will briers than significant. b) Exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding9 p p 0 X b. According to the MEA, the Los Angeles River flows through the City in a concrete channel'. The river channel, in conjunction with other major improvements in the region, has greatly reduced the probability of a major flood occurring in the City of Vernon. However, intense thunderstorms of short duration have been known to occur and result in localized flooding and ponding in areas extensively covered by buildings or paving. The project has proposed drainage improvements that provide for adequate site drainage, in compliance with existing City Standards. Therefore, the proposed project will cause no impact. c) Discharge into surface waters or other alteration of surface water quality (e.g. temperature, dissolved -2- ti oxygen or turbidity)? p p p X c. No surface water bodies are located near the project and the project is not expected to directly discharge into such water or change the amount of any water bodice located- in the vicinity. All modifcaYtions of existing facilities will proceed in compliance with the NPDES requirements. All trucks that enter the facility shall be empty and free of refuse. No washing or maintenance of trucks or vehicles shall occur on -site. All washing and maintenance of trucks shall be done off -site. The facility shall be kept free of dust and liter to prevent run off that may impact surface water. d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water body? 0 p p X e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements? © p p X d and e. No surface water bodies are located near the project and the project is not expected to directly discharge into such water or change the amount of any water bodies located in the vicinity. The facility shall be operated in compliance with the NPDES requirements. Therefore, the proposed project will not cause an impact. f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either through direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations? p Q p X g) Altered direction or rate of #law of groundwater? O p p X f and g. The existing facility is industrial with support structures above ground. The applicant shall comply with the sail re-mMiation requirement of the City of Vernon Environmental Health Department. To prevent any impacts to ground water the facility has been paved with an impermeable surface that will drain to Bandini Boulevard. No excavation or other below grade work is anticipated to occur thus there will be no impact to quantity, direction, or flow of groundwater. h) Impacts to groundwater quality? p X p p h. Due to industrial activities from the previous occupant the site has significant concentrations of title 22 heavy metals in the soil. The City of Vernon Environmental Health Department has required the applicant to cap the site with a hard impermeablesurface to avoid the toxins from leaching into the groundwater. In order to prevent any impact to groundwater, a series of mitigation measures shall be implemented. First, the entire site shall be paver] with an impermeable surface to prevent toxins from leaching into the groundwater. The maintenance on the rap shall be logged in a form and manner approved by the City of Vernon Environmental Health Department. In addition, the applicant shall be required to obtain a covenant on the site indicating that there we significant concentrations of title 22 heavy metals in the soil. In compliance with the Stornr Water Pollution prevention Plan (SWPPP) a checklist for categorizing the project as exempt or priority was completed. It was determined that the project is a Priority Project as defined by the SWPPP. Therefore, an additional mitigation measure shall be implemented that required the applicant to submit a Notice of Intent to the Californi& Regional Quality Control Board (C RWQCB) to address National Pollution Discharge Elimination System r qunenxmtL Themf0t e, no impact is expected to occur from the proposed project V AIR QUALIW: Would the prioposatr a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation? O p X p a. The City of Vernon is located within the South Coast Air Basin of California. The basin covers a b 600-square mile area within Orange County, non -desert portions of Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. Air quality in the basin ismonitoredby the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) at 35 monitoring stations throughout the area. The monitoring station nearest to the City of Vernon is the Pico Rivera station. Readings at the station are used to characterize air quality in the City of Vernon. During Construction The project only entails the construction of a 400 square foot office building with no substantial grading or substructures. As compared to a similar project in the area the proposed project will not have a significant air quality impace. This was determined using the Thresholds of Significant indicated in the CEQA Air Quality Manual'; The air quality impacts associated -3- Y with construction are negligible and clearly cause no significant impact. During Operation The project site has had a history of truck terminals in the past. The proposed pro ject,does not substantially exceed the traffic trips generated by previous truck terminals. Based on previous traffic studies performed for projects of much huger scale the proposed project is not of the magnitude to produce a significant impacts Therefore, there will clearly be no significant impact. b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? p p p X b. Vernon is strictly an industrial community with similar uses surrounding the project site. There are no sensitive receptors (e.g., residences, hospitals, schools) adjacent to or within one -quarter mile of the project site (distancae threshold established by the South Coast Air Quality Management Districtr. The nearest sensitive receptor is approximately.34 miles south west of the project's boundary. c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate? p 0 O X +c. The proposed project will create no unusual conditions which could alter air movement, moisture, temperature, or climate. d) Create objectionable odors? Q t] 0 X d. Vernon is a strictly industrialized area with no sensitive receptors within .25 miles of the project site. The facility will 1>e used as a truck terminal amShall not be permitted to bring refuse to the site. The refuse trucks and any roll -off containers stored on -site shall be empty. To further prevent odors, trucks and roll -offs shalt be washed and steam cleaned off -site on a, regular basis. V1. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would the proposal result iir: a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? O O X p a. Several freeways serve Vernon.` To the north is the Santa Ana (1-5), Santa Monica (1-10) and the Hollywood (1-101) freeways, to the west is the Harbor Freeway (1-110), and to the east is the Long Beach Freeway (1-710). Vernon has several arterials which bisect the City. The site has access to Bandini Boulevard which is 90 feet in width. During Constrvctfon The Proposed project will consist of paving the existing site and constructing a 400 square foot office building. Basal on Previous traffic studiesperformed for projects of much larger scale the proposed project is not of the magnitude to produce a significant impact` Therefore, there willclearly be no significant impact during construction. During Opa^atea During operation the faality will generate approximately 15 - 20 traffic trips per day. This is consistent with previous true terminal wed at the proposed site in the past. The traffic generated byt he proposed project was compared to Previously studied projects that are much larger in scope and it was determined that the proposed project would create clearly ; DO significant impact during operation. The flow of traffic generated by the project is outlined in the City of Vernon Community Services Department Staff Report on Si -Nor, Inc. Conditional use petrnie. To further prevent the impacts to traffic and circulation two mitigation measures shall be implemented. The first mitigation prohibits the applicant from queuing on Bandini Boulevard. Tice second, limits the number of truck and automobile trips that the facility may generate per day. The effect the traffic from the proposed' project will have on Bandini Boulevard is negligible The mitigation measures shall further reduce these traffic effects. Therefore, there will clearly be no significant impact. b) Hazards, to safety from design features (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? 0 O 0 X b.

The project will not result in an increase in residential population in Vernon. No impact on the demand for recreation opportunities is anticipated. No parks or recreation facilities exist on the project site nor is one planned on the site. XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a tare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the -moor periods of California history or prehistory? p 0 0 X & The City of Vernon is primarily made up of industrial and distribution type facilities with limited plant life. Plant life is limited to trot -native and ornamental species which ate used for 1 consists of bird, reptile and �nrrri�l landscaping. Animal life in V and nearby urban communities that live in dose proximity to man. There are no endangered species in Vernon. The - site is an existing facility and there is no potenU for finding important examples of major }Mods of California history. Therefore, the proposed project will create no impact. b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short -tern, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? 0 0 X b. The proposed project is in conformance with the City of Vernon General Plan. The zoning of the site is M-2, which allows a truck terminal with a conditional use permit. There will not be an impact on long -terra environmental goals. c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? -8- cCumulatively considerable means that the incremental effects of a project art considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) 0 O X p e. Cumulative impacts from this project and a proposed nearby projects were considered. The project is not significant enough to cause a cumulative impact to air quality, traffic, noise, groundwater, surface water, or exposure to hazardous materials. During construction the project will produce short term localized impacts associated with construction activities such as breaking of gravel, back-up safety devices, construction vehicle traffic, very minimal dust from construction, and limited use of hazardous materials used in normal construction activities. These impacts are negligible and will not create a significant impact. During the facility will operate the same. The only difference is that they will generate I I additional traffic trips; 6 additional employee trips and 5 additional tractor trips. The additionaal traffic generated during operation is negligible and will not pose a cumulative impact. Therefore, the cumulative impact for the proposed project will be clearly less then significant. d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? p X 0 Ci d. As discussed previously the soil on the site has significant concentrations of title 22 heavy metals in the soil. To avoid any adverse environmental effects the cap maintained on the site shall be maintained in compliance with requirements of the City of Vernon Environmental Health Department.

FINDINGS: The City Council of the City of Vernon has determined that this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The mitigation measures and conditions are designated to ensure protection of public health and the environment. L,: U MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM SI-NOR, INC. TRUCKING TERMINAL LOCATED AT 3689 BANDINI BOULEVARD VERNON, CALIFORNIA (February 8,1999) Introduction The Negative Declaration, prepared for Si -Nor, Inc., Trucking Terminal (State Clearinghouse No.XXXXXXXXX) at 3689 Bandini Boulevard in the City of Vernon, indicates that the proposal may have potential impacts on the environment in the absence of any mitigation. The Negative Declaration indicates specific measures and programs that should be adopted, as part of the development approval, to ensure the potential adverse impacts are mitigated. In accordance with requirements of Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code, the City Council makes the following, additional findings: • A mitigation reporting and monitoring program shall be implemented as specified for the Trucking Terminal. • Site plans and/or building plans, submitted for approval by the responsible monitoring agency, shall include the required mitigation measures/conditions; and • An accountable enforcement agency and monitoring agency shall be identified for mitigation measures/conditions adopted as part of the decision maker's final determination. This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) was prepared by the City of Vernon Community Services Department in accordance with AB 3180. The comprehensive MMP presents the mitigation measures which have been adopted as conditions of approval by the Vernon City Council, in conjunction with the adoption of the Negative Declaration prepared for this project, and the respective monitoring of these measures to be conducted by City staff and/or by their environmental consultant. The MMP will serve a dual purpose of verifying implementation of the mitigation measures for the Trucking Terminal and of generating information on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures to guide future mitigation programs. Scope of the MMP The environmentalanalysis contained in the Initial Study incorporated herein by reference, focused on issues determined to be potentially significant by the City of Vernon. The environmental analysis concluded that the environmental issues discussed in the Initial Study, the significant and potentially significant impacts -could be avoided or reduced to a level below significance through the implementation of recommended mitigation measures. 1 Components of the MMP The MMP is comprised of three separate phases of monitoring to ensure that all project mitigation measures have been fully implemented: (1) monitoring that will occur prior to issuance of permit; (2) monitoring that will occur during the project's construction; and (3) monitoring that will occur on an on -going basis throughout the life -time of the project. onitorin2 Prior to Permit Issu The first phase of the monitoring will occur prior to the issuance of project permits (e.g., conditional use permit, building permit and grading permit) and will involve review and approval, by the City or other agencies, of the various design details and plans necessary to implement the project. The Initial Study calls for certain design details, as well as other specific plans, to be implemented during project operations. City staff and other agencies, as part of their plan review, will check to make sure that the required items have been incorporated into these plans. onitorin2 Durine Constructio Once the mitigation measures have been adopted as conditions of approval by the City of Vernon, a construction monitoring team will be identified. Managing the team will be the responsibility of a mitigation compliance coordinator at the City. Prior to any project implementation activities, a pre -construction meeting will take place between the City of Vernon staff and all individuals involved in the completion of the MMP to clearly establish the responsibility and authority of the participants. An effective reporting system will be established prior to any monitoring activities. All parties involved will have a clear understanding of the mitigation measures as adopted, and the mitigation measures must be distributed to the participants of the monitoring effort. Those that will have a complete list of all the mitigation measures adopted by the City would include the City of Vernon, the applicant and the construction crew supervisor. Compliance report forms will be prepared with each mitigation measure written out on the top of the form. All persons responsible for monitoring measures shall complete the report and file it with the City following each monitoring activity. The compilation of these forms for each monitoring effort will be condensed into a comprehensive Monitoring Report by the appropriate City staff. The Monitoring Report will describe the major accomplishments of the monitoring program, summarize the problems encountered in achieving the goals of the program, evaluate solutions developed to overcome problems, and provide a list of recommendations for future monitoring efforts. �m-going tvionitoring The requirements for on -going monitoring will be specified in the permit conditions of the project or in the back-up reports required as a result of those permit conditions. The City of Vernon will be -2- responsible for ensuring that their permit conditions for the Trucking Terminal are being implemented. Actual monitoring activities may be carried out by City -staffed field inspections, other agency -staffed inspections, or by specialists hired by the City or the project applicant to carry out specific programs. In this case, the City or other permitting agency will be responsible for reviewing the monitoring reports as they are submitted by the project applicant or monitors. Non -Compliance Procedures There are generally three separate categories of non-compliance associated with the adopted conditions of approval: • Non-compliance requiring an immediate halt to a specific task or piece of equipment. • Non-compliance requiring immediate corrective action, with no work or task delay. • Non-compliancethat does not warrant immediate corrective action and results in no work or task delay. In all three cases, the City will notify the applicant. If non-compliance continues, the responsibility for enforcement is with the City. Some methods commonly used by other lead agencies include: "stop work" orders, fines and penalties (civil), permit revocations, citations, and injunctions. It is essential that all parties involved in the MAP understand the authority and responsibility of the on - site monitors. SUMMARY OF MITIGATION MEASURES AND MONITORING EFFORTS The text presented in the attached Table includes the Trucking Terminal project's mitigation measures and the monitoring efforts required to ensure that the mitigation measures are adequately implemented. -3- .�' p v aoi .� aQ'i � a`�i aQi o •� �" � a"ii � � acoiCd a�i Uv�AwAwxA ....; Uv�AwxA wxA 0 0 o ... ... o o on 0 o c as o o o o c a (D . oo cd A v v m 9 3 00 °�.
