SUMMARY:
The City of Yorba Linda recently released a Notice of Preparation and Initial Study for its Draft
2008-2014 Housing Element (Project) and Implementation Plan. This plan proposes rezoning
thirteen properties to higher density, multi-family residential communities, for a maximum of 1,106
dwelling units. Senate Bill 610 of 2001 requires that the District prepare a Water Supply
Assessment (WSA) report addressing water supply for projects with 500 or more dwelling units.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt the Water Supply Assessment for the City of Yorba Linda's Draft
2008-2014 Housing Element and Implementation Plan, to be incorporated as part of the Project
Draft EIR.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee discussed this item at its meeting on September
8, 2010 and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
On June 21, 2010, the City submitted a written request to the District for preparation of a Water
Supply Assessment (WSA) for their 2008-2014 Housing Element (Project) and Implementation Plan
for the potential rezoning of thirteen properties to higher density, multi-family residential
communities, for a maximum of 1,106 dwelling units. The District is required to submit a WSA per
Senate Bill 610 of 2001.
Staff estimates a maximum annual demand of 553 acre-feet per year for this Project. Included in the
Qualifications Section is a statement that "nothing herein shall be construed to create a right or
entitlement to water service or any specific level of water service." The WSA further clarifies that
"actual water service to the proposed project is predicated upon satisfaction of terms and conditions
set forth by YLWD," thereby, allowing the District the ability to establish project specific terms for
providing water service to portions of, or the entire Project.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the WSA for the City's Project. The document will be
incorporated into their Draft EIR which is currently scheduled for public release in September 2010.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors approved and adopted a similar Water Supply Assessment for the North

DRAFT Water Supply Assessment for the
City of Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Housing Element
INTRODUCTION
Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) operates and maintains the public water system that
may supply potable water service to the Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Housing Element
(Project). As the public water system, YLWD is required by 2001 Senate Bill 610 to
prepare a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for defined types of projects consisting of
500 or more dwelling units. This WSA is in response to a letter dated June 21, 2010 from
Steven K. Harris, City of Yorba Linda Director of Community Development, requesting
YLWD to determine if available water supplies will meet projected increased water
demands from the Project.
This Project is under the direction of the City of Yorba Linda Community Development
for development of approximately 1,106 multi family dwelling units on thirteen separate
sites, as depicted on Exhibits 3 and 4 of the attached City of Yorba Linda Notice of
Preparation (NOP) dated May 26, 2010. Eleven of the thirteen sites are already part of
YLWD's service area. Although two sites are located outside of YLWD boundaries,
within Savi Ranch, annexation was approved by LAFCO on August 11, 2010, pending
completion of jurisdictional boundary changes by the State Board of Equalization. In the
meantime, YLWD continues to provide water service to this area.
A more detailed description of the project is contained in the following section.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Housing Element (Project) is a multi family
residential development, with approximately 1,106 units, located within portions of the

Please note that some sites are currently supplied with potable water from YLWD. For
example, Site 3, St. Joseph's Medical Offices, has existing demands that are expected to
be equivalent to the future Housing Element demands. Consequently, the net increase in
demand for Sites 1 through 13 is expected to be less than the overall total water use of
553 acre-feet/year listed in Table 1. Please see the Qualifications section herein, page 7,
for a listing of conditions to provide water service.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
YLWD prepares and updates a major planning document that is used to guide water
supply decision making. This document is called the Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP). Preparation of the UWMP is required by statute. The UWMP is required to
be updated in years ending with "five" and "zero," and YLWD is currently working to
complete the 2010 UWMP.
YLWD receives all of its import water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) through the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC)
and therefore must rely on information supplied by these entities as documentation of
YLWD's import supplies. The YLWD UWMP incorporates by reference Urban Water
Management Plans adopted by the MWD and MWDOC. Additionally, this WSA
incorporates by reference MWD's latest "Integrated Water Resources Plan Update."
YLWD also supplies water from the local groundwater basin, which is managed
cooperatively between the agencies that overlie this local resource and that are within the
Orange County portion of its watershed. The managing agency for the local groundwater
3
basin is Orange County Water District (OCWD). Groundwater is extracted from the
basin using wells operated by retail agencies like YLWD and is subject to a recharge
assessment established by OCWD and based on pumping limitations and availability of
recharge water to replenish the basin for sustainable use of this resource. OCWD has
prepared a Long Term Facilities Plan that considers projected growth in water demands
through 2035, and identifies the facilities needed to support sustainable yields from the
groundwater basin needed to meet this growth. Additionally, OCWD prepared a
Groundwater Management Plan that includes an integrated management of recharge and
production to help ensure that the groundwater basin is maintained in balance to provide
long term viability of the water supply.
WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT
A. YLWD's Urban Water Management Plan.
As set forth above, the projected water demand associated with the Proposed Project
was accounted for in the most recently adopted UWMP. Therefore, pursuant to Water
Code section 10910(c)(2), YLWD can comply with subdivisions (d), (e), (f) and (g)
of Water Code section 10910 by incorporating by reference information from its 2005
UWMP. YLWD's UWMP projected a growth of approximately 1,500 service
connections over the next 20 years and a corresponding increase in water demands of
about 1,600 acre feet per year, not including this Project. Based on the NOP, this
Project will add approximately 1,106 dwelling units and, per Table 1, estimated water
demand increase of approximately 553 acre feet per year. The 2005 UWMP projected
a 2010 water demand of 26,039 Acre Feet (AF), whereas the current projected water
demand for 2010, including recent demands, is 21,297 AF, which is approximately
4,700 AF less.
B. Identification of Existing Water Supply Entitlements, Rights or Service Contracts
Relevant to the Identified Supply for the Proposed Project (section 10910(d)).
Pursuant to Water Code section 10910(c)(2), YLWD complies with section 10910(d)
by incorporating by reference its 2005 UWMP. In addition, YLWD provides the
following detailed information about potable water supplies:
(1) Potable Supply - Imported Water Service Connections.
Potable imported water is delivered to YLWD at various service connections from the
imported water delivery system of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California: service connections OC-51 to the Orange County Feeder No. 2, and OC-
66 and OC-89 to the Allen-McColloch Pipeline. YLWD's entitlements regarding
service from the MWD delivery system facilities are described in the following
paragraphs. YLWD receives imported water service through Municipal Water
District of Orange County, a member agency of MWD.
4
(2) Allen-McColloch Pipeline (AMP) - currently available.
(a) Agreement For Sale and Purchase of Allen-McColloch Pipeline, dated as of July
1, 1994 Metropolitan Water District Agreement No. 4623) (AMP Sale
Agreement).
Under the AMP Sale Agreement, MWD purchased the Allen-McColloch Pipeline
(formerly known as the Diemer Intertie) from MWDOC, the MWDOC Water
Facilities Corporation and certain agencies, including YLWD, identified as
Participants therein. Section 5.02 of the AMP Sale Agreement obligates MWD to
meet YLWD's and the other Participants' requests for deliveries and specified
minimum hydraulic grade lines at each connection serving a Participant, subject
to availability of water. MWD agrees to operate the AMP as any other MWD
pipeline. MWD has the right to operate the AMP on a "utility basis," meaning
that MWD need not observe capacity allocations of the Participants but may use
available capacity to meet demand at any service connection.
The AMP Sale Agreement obligates MWD to monitor and project AMP demands
and to construct specified pump facilities or make other provision to augment
MWD's capacity along the AMP, at MWD's expense, should that be necessary to
meet demands of all of the Participants (Section 5.08).
(b) Agreement For Allocation of Proceeds of Sale of Allen-McColloch Pipeline,
dated as of July 1, 1994 AMP Allocation Agreement).
This agreement, entered into concurrently with the AMP Sale Agreement,
provided each participant, including YLWD, with a capacity allocation in the
AMP, for the purpose of allocating the sale proceeds among the Participants in
accordance with their prior contractual capacities adjusted to conform to their
respective future demands. YLWD's capacity under the AMP Allocation
Agreement is 30 cubic feet per second at YLWD's AMP connections. The AMP
Allocation Agreement further provides that if a Participant's peak flow exceeds its
capacity, the Participant shall "purchase" additional capacity from the other
Participants who are using less than their capacity, until such time as MWD
augments the capacity of the AMP. The foregoing notwithstanding, as mentioned
in the preceding paragraph, the allocated capacities do not alter MWD's
obligation under the AMP Sale Agreement to meet all Participants' demands
along the AMP, and to augment the capacity of the AMP if necessary.
Accordingly, under these agreements, YLWD can legally increase its use of the
AMP beyond the above-stated capacities, but would be required to reimburse
other Participants a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of the AMP.
(3) Orange County Feeder No. 2 - currently available
By an agreement dated November 9, 1964, YLWD secured rights and access to the
MWD's Orange County Feeder No. 2 imported water system. This connection,
commonly referred to as OC-51, is currently metered for ten cubic feet per second.
The connection has a maximum rated capacity of 20 cubic feet per second.
5
(4) Potable Supply - Groundwater - currently available
The Project identified in this WSA will be supplied by both imported and
groundwater. The following general information is about groundwater supply.
Orange County Water District Act (OCWD), Water Code App., Ch. 40 (Act). YLWD
is an operator of groundwater-producing facilities in the Orange County Groundwater
Basin (Basin). Although the rights of the producers within the Basin vis-a-vis one
another have not been adjudicated, they nevertheless exist and have not been
abrogated by the Act (§40-77). The rights consist of municipal appropriators' right
and may include overlying and riparian rights. The Basin is managed by OCWD
under the Act, which functions as a statutorily-imposed physical solution. The Act
empowers OCWD to impose replenishment assessments and basin equity assessments
on production and to require registration of water-producing facilities and the filing of
certain reports; however, OCWD is expressly prohibited from limiting extraction
unless a producer agrees (§40-2(6)(c)) and from impairing vested rights to the use of
water (§40-77). Thus, producers may install and operate production facilities under
the Act; OCWD approval is not required. OCWD is required to annually investigate
the condition of the Basin, assess overdraft and accumulated overdraft, and determine
the amount of water necessary for replenishment (§40-26). OCWD studied basin
replenishment needs and potential projects to address growth in demand up to 2035.
This is described in detail in the OCWD Long-Term Facilities Plan, dated June, 2009.
(5) Imported Supply - Updated Regional Urban Water Management Plan.
As described above, the imported supply from MWD is contractually subject to
availability. To assist local water providers in assessing the adequacy of local water
supplies that are reliant in whole or in part on MWD's imported supply, MWD
provided information concerning the availability of the supplies to its entire service
area per MWD's Regional Urban Water Management Plan November, 2005 (MWD
RUWMP). MWD RUWMP indicates, in addition to "addressing average year and
drought conditions, the act requires agencies to document the stages of actions that it
would undertake in response to water supply shortages, including up to a 50%
reduction in its water supplies." Therefore, although the MWD RUWMP predates the
recent droughts, MWD's analysis was conservative enough to factor in this condition.
Additionally, the MWD RUWMP states, "through effective management of its water
supply, Metropolitan fully expects to be 100 percent reliable in meeting all non-
discounted non-interruptible demands through the next twenty five years."
More recently, on April 13, 2010, MWD's Board of Directors adopted a Water
Supply Allocation Plan, establishing the levels of imported water supply which are
projected to meet Member Agency Demands (including YLWD) through June 2011.
MWD's margin of safety in its demand projections and MWD's reserve supplies,
together with the availability of groundwater to most of the YLWD service area, build
a margin of safety into YLWD's supply availability.
6
C. New Water Supply Entitlements, rights or service contracts relevant to the Identified
supply for the Proposed Proj ect (section 10910(e)).
YLWD does not anticipate that the water supply for this Project will consist of new
entitlements, rights or service contracts from which no water has been received in
prior years.
D. Groundwater (section 10910(j
The following is in accordance with section 10910(f):
(1) The 2005 UWMP discusses the groundwater supply sources in the attached
section 3.1.1.
(2) The 2005 UWMP discusses the hydrology of the groundwater basin in the
attached section 3.4.1. Overdraft is not projected in the 2005 UWMP.
(3) See below 2005-2006 through 2009-2010 groundwater production for the last five
fiscal, July through June, years:
2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010
4,359 AF 10,558 AF 13,676 AF 12,148 AF 10,573 AF
(4) & (5) The attached page 3-3 of the 2005 UWMP discusses the amount, location
and sufficiency of groundwater to be supplied.
RESULT OF WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT
Subject to the qualifications listed below, based on the above WSA, YLWD determines
that its water supplies will be sufficient to meet the demands of the Proposed Project. In
light of this determination, YLWD is not required to provide the City with plans for
acquiring additional supplies pursuant to Water Code section 10911.
QUALIFICATIONS
This WSA was prepared solely to comply with Water Code sections 10910-10915.
Pursuant to Water Code section 10914, nothing herein shall be construed to:
(i) create a right or entitlement to water service or any specific level of water service;
(ii) impose, expand, or limit any duty concerning the obligation of YLWD to provide
certain service to its existing customers or any future potential customers; or
(iii) modify or otherwise change existing law with respect to projects which are not
subject to the requirements pursuant to which this WSA is prepared.
Actual water service to the Proposed Project is predicated upon satisfaction of terms and
conditions set forth by YLWD. Until such time as actual service connections are
approved for the Proposed Project, YLWD may withhold water service due to a water
shortage declared by YLWD or MWD.

3.2 WATER SUPPLY PROJECTIONS
Projections of population and economic growth suggest that the YLWD customer base may
reach a population of 85,355 within the next 25 years, which is a moderate 13 percent increase.
The number of dwelling units is not expected to increase dramatically; however, the increase in
family size and intensification of land use by both industry and commercial entities can be
attributed to the slight increase.
Groundwater is expected to remain less expensive to produce than imported water in the future.
The capacity of the current YLWD distribution system facilities is 26,404 AFY; therefore, the
amount of groundwater YLWD can produce will be limited by the BPP established by OCWD,
and the pumping capacity of YLWD facilities. Projections for future supply sources over the
next 25 years are provided below. Annual groundwater extraction from the Orange County
Basin by YLWD was projected by OCWD. The remainder of the water supply necessary to
meet projected water demands will be imported from Metropolitan.

The sources providing the projected water needs are estimated to change from 45 percent
Orange County Basin and 55 percent Metropolitan (via MWDOC), to an average of 53 percent
and 47 percent, respectively. Figure 3.2-1: Projected Water Supply Sources, details the supply
source percentages over the next twenty-five years, in five-year increments.

CHAPTER 3.0: WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
3.1 CURRENT AND PLANNED WATER SUPPLIES
The Yorba Linda Water District currently has two sources of water supply:
® Lower Santa Ana Basin (Grange County Basin)
o Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (via Municipal Water District of Orange
County)
Emergency interconnections to the City of Anaheim, City of Brea, and the GSWC are also
available to YLWD in the event of a localized emergency.
3,1.1 Lower Santa Ana Basin
Historically, the Yorba Linda Water District has pumped approximately 50% of its total annual
water supply from the Lower Santa Ana Basin through eight active groundwater wells. The
basin is contained within the Orange County Groundwater Basin, which is managed by GCWD.
In 1933 GCWD was farmed by a special act of the California Legislature to manage Orange
County's groundwater supply and protect the County's rights to water in the Santa Ana River.
OCWD is responsible for managing the use, replenishment, and protection of Orange County's
groundwater basin. A Basin Pumping Percentage (BPP) is set by GCWD that mandates the
percentage of groundwater production to total water supply that each of its member agencies,
including YLWD, is allowed to pump. In the five years preceding 2003 the BPP was set to allow
member agencies to pump 75 percent of their total water supply from the Orange County
Groundwater Basin. The BPP was lowered to 66 percent as of April 2003, and further lowered
to 62 percent beginning in 2005 as a result of low groundwater levels, drought, and saltwater
intrusion into the basin. Historically, YLWD has pumped below the BPP because its facilities
are at maximum pumping capacity. Groundwater currently accounts for approximately 48
percent of the total water supply. Since groundwater is a less expensive source of supply than
imported water, YLWD's goal is to maximize groundwater production to the available BPP by
means of capital improvement projects to increase groundwater pumping capacity and
distribution facilities.

3.4 GROUNDWATER: ORANGE COUNTY BASIN
3.4.1 Lower Santa Ana River Basin Hydrogeology
This basin, also known as Grange County Groundwater Basin, underlies a coastal alluvial plain
in the northwestern portion of Orange County. It covers an area of approximately 350 square
miles beneath broad lowlands known as the Tustin and Downey Plains (Figure 3.4-9: Map of
Orange County Groundwater Basin). The Basin is bounded by consolidated rocks exposed in
the north in the Puente and Chino Hills, in the east in the Santa Ana Mountains, and in the south
in the San Joaquin Hills. The Basin is bounded by the Pacific Ocean in the southwest and by
the Grange County-Los Angeles County line in the northwest. The Basin underlines the lower
Santa Ana River Watershed-
The Orange County Basin is dominated by a deep structural depression containing a thick
accumulation of fresh water bearing inter-bedded marine and continental sand, silt and clay
deposits. The proportion of fine material generally increases toward the coast, dividing the
Basin into forebay and pressure areas. Consequently, most surface water recharge is through
the coarser, more interconnected and permeable forebay deposits. Layers in this Basin are
faulted and folded, and may show rapid changes in grain size- The Newport-Inglewood fault
zone parallels the coastline and generally forms a barrier to groundwater flow. Erosional
channels filled with permeable alluvium break this barrier in selected locations called "Gaps". In
addition to this geologic feature, increased pumping from inland municipal wells causes the
coastal gaps at Talbert, Bolsa, Sunset, and Alamitos to be susceptible to seawater intrusion.
The sediments containing easily recoverable fresh water extend to about 2,000 feet in depth
near the center of the Basin. Although water-bearing aquifers exist below that level, water
quality and pumping lift make these materials economically unviable at present. Upper, middle,
and lower aquifer systems are recognized in the basin. The upper aquifer system, also know as
the "shallow" aquifer system, includes Holocene alluvium, older alluvium, stream terraces, and
the upper Pleistocene deposits represented by the La Habra Formation. It has an average
thickness of about 200 to 300 feet and consists mostly of sand, gravel, and conglomerate with
some silt and clay beds.

Generally, the upper aquifer system contains a lower percentage of water-bearing strata in the
northwest and coastal portions of the area where clays and clayey silts dominate. Accordingly,
recharge from the surface to the groundwater basin may be minor in these areas. Recharge to
the upper aquifer system occurs primarily in the northeastern portions of the Basin. With the
exception of a few large system municipal wells in the cities of Garden Grove, Anaheim, and
Tustin, wells producing from the shallow aquifer system predominantly have industrial and
agricultural uses. Production from the shallow aquifer system is typically about five percent of
total Basin production. The middle aquifer system, also known as the "principal" aquifer system,
includes the lower Pleistocene Coyote Hills and San Pedro Formations, which have an average
thickness of 1,000 feet and are composed of sand, gravel, and a minor amount of clay. The
primary recharge of the middle aquifer system is derived from the Santa Ana Diver channel in
the northeast of the County. The middle aquifer system provides 99 to 95 percent of the
groundwater for the Basin. The lower aquifer system (or deep aquifer) includes the Upper
Fernando Group of upper Pliocene age and is composed of sand and conglomerate 359 to 500
feet thick. Electric logs of this aquifer indicate that it would probably yield large quantities of
fresh water to wells, but this zone has been found to contain colored water, and the aquifer is
too deep to economically construct production wells. With the exception of four colored water
production wells constructed by Mesa Consolidated Water District (MCWD) and Irvine Ranch
Water District (IRWD), few wells penetrate the deep aquifer system. Figure 3.4--2: Geologic
Cross Section through Orange County Groundwater Basin presents a geologic cross-section
through the Basin along the Santa Ana River.

Initial Study
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Initial Study
The City of Yorba Linda has prepared this Initial Study in conformance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The purpose of this
Initial Study is to determine whether the proposed project, as described below, may have a significant
effect on the environment and to provide information to use as the basis for determining whether to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or Negative Declaration. Included in this Initial Study is
the checklist used by the City of Yorba Linda in its environmental review process and a corresponding
preliminary assessment of each checklist topic.
Based on the preliminary analysis contained in this Initial Study, the City of Yorba Linda proposes the
preparation of an EIR for the actions that comprise the "project" for purposes of analysis under CEQA.
This Initial Study has been prepared to provide information about the existing physical and regulatory
environment that may affect adoption of the Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Draft Housing Element and
associated Implementation Programs. The EIR for the Draft Housing Element and Implementation
Programs is proposed to be a Program EIR that will evaluate the broad-scale impacts of the proposed
action. Program EIRs are typically prepared for public policy programs such as a general plan,
redevelopment plan, or new zoning districts; a series of related actions that can be characterized as one
large project; or for large-scale multi-phase development projects such as specific plans. According to
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(a), a state or local agency should prepare a Program EIR, rather than
a Project EIR, when a Lead Agency proposes any of the following:
• A series of related actions that are linked geographically
• Logical parts of a chain of contemplated events, rules, regulations, or plans that govern the conduct
of a continuing program
• Individual activities carried out under the same authorizing statutory or regulatory authority and
having generally similar environmental effects that can be mitigated in similar ways
In a Program EIR, CEQA allows the general analysis of broad environmental effects of the program with
the acknowledgement that subsequent project-specific environmental review may be required for
particular aspects or portions of the program at the time of project implementation in accordance with
Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed Program EIR would serve as the first-tier
environmental analysis. The Program EIR can be incorporated by reference into subsequently prepared
environmental documentation to address issues such as cumulative impacts and growth inducing
impacts, allowing the subsequent documents to focus on new or site-specific impacts pursuant to
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 1-1 May 2010
Initial Study
Section 15168(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines. In order to assess the potential broad-scale environmental
impacts that may result from implementation of the proposed Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Housing Element
and Implementation Project, development assumptions have been made at this time and are described in
the following sections. Please note that project development assumptions may be adjusted and refined as
a result of the public review process.
1.2 Initial Study Format and Contents
In addition to Section 1, Introduction, this Initial Study is organized into the following sections:
• Section 2, Project Description: Includes a detailed description of the proposed project.
• Section 3, Preliminary Environmental Analysis and Checklist: Contains the Environmental
Checklist Form together with an environmental setting and an impact discussion for each of the
checklist questions. The Environmental Checklist Form is used to determine potential impacts
relating to implementation of the Specific Plan and are categorized as follows:
- "Potential Significant Impacts" that may not be mitigated even with the inclusion of mitigation
measures;
- "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated," which could be mitigated with incorporation of
mitigation measures; and,
- "Less Than Significant Impacts," which would be less than significant and do not require the
implementation of mitigation measures.
• Section 4, References: Identifies the documents and individuals consulted in preparing this Initial
Study.

2.3 Project Objectives
The primary objectives of the proposed project are as follows:
• Certification of the Housing Element by the State Housing and Community Development
Department
• Adoption of the 2008-2014 Housing Element and Implementation Programs
• Allow the City of Yorba Linda to comply with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
targets
2.4 Project Description
The proposed project consists of the adoption of the City of Yorba Linda 2008-2014 Draft Housing
Element and associated Implementation Programs defined in the Element.
The 2008-2014 Draft Housing Element has been prepared by the City in compliance with the update cycle
for jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region to address
the legal mandates that requires each local government to adequately plan to meet the existing and
projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Housing Element is one of the
seven State-mandated elements of Yorba Linda's General Plan and is intended to be consistent with and
1 California Government Code sections 65580-65589.8
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 2-3 May 2010
Initial Study
to further the objectives of the General Plan. The Housing Element identifies and assesses projected
housing needs and provides an inventory of constraints and resources relevant to meeting these needs.
Components of the housing element include: a housing needs assessment with population and household
characteristics; identification of constraints to providing housing; an inventory of available sites for the
provision of housing for all economic segments of the community; and a statement of goals, policies and
programs for meeting the City's housing needs. Specifically, Yorba Linda's Draft 2008-2014 Housing
Element identifies the following overarching goals:
1. Preserving and improving housing and neighborhoods
2. Providing adequate housing sites
3. Assisting in the provision of affordable housing
4. Removing governmental and other constraints to housing investment
5. Promoting fair and equal housing opportunities
The Draft Housing Element identifies 20 Implementation Programs to assist the City in addressing these
goals and meeting State housing element requirements. These Implementation Programs are discussed in
detail in the Draft Housing Element and are listed below:
Program No. 1 Residential Rehabilitation Program
Program No. 2 Housing Community Preservation and Abatement
Program No. 3 Section 8 Rental Assistance
Program No. 4 Affordable Housing Development Assistance
Program No. 5 Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP)
Program No. 6 Mortgage Credit Certificate
Program No. 7 Conversion of Multi-Family Rental to Affordable through Committed Assistance
Program No. 8 Purchase of Existing Housing Units to Create Affordable Home Ownership Units
Program No. 9 Second Units
Program No. 10 Rezoning of Higher Densities
Program No. 11 Town Center Specific Plan
Program No. 12 Sustainability and Green Building
Program No. 13 Annexation of Areas in Sphere of Influence
Program No. 14 Multifamily development standards and Processing Procedures
Program No. 15 Measure B

Initial Study
Program No. 16 Affordable Housing Density Bonus
Program No. 17 Administrative Adjustment Process
Program No. 18 Zoning Ordinance Revision
Program No. 19 Fair Housing
Program No. 20 Accessible Housing
As described in the Draft Housing Element, Yorba Linda has an identified regional housing growth need
(RHNA) of 2,039 units for the 2006-2014 planning period, distributed among very low, low, moderate and
above moderate income categories. The RHNA represents the minimum number of housing units each
community is required to provide "adequate sites" for through zoning, and is one of the primary
threshold criteria necessary to achieve approval of the element by the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD). The Draft Housing Element establishes the following combination of
mechanisms to fulfill Yorba Linda s RHNA allocation:
1. Development of single-family homes within entitled projects (Vista Del Verde, Yorba Linda Estates,
Habitat for Humanity). These projects have already been through the CEQA process and thus are not
the subject of this EIR. It should noted, however, that these projects will be addressed in the
cumulative analysis;
2. Rezoning of 13 vacant and underutilized sites for multi-family residential use at densities of 10, 20,
and 30 units per acre;
3. Converting market rate apartments to affordable levels using the City's committed assistance;
4. Provision of second units; and
5. Residential permits issued during the RHNA "gap period" (January 1, 2006 - May 1, 2008).
Because the City faces a shortfall in adequate sites under current General Plan and zoning to address its
RHNA - and multi-family sites to address its very low, low and moderate income RHNA requirements in
particular - the Housing Element proposes a rezoning program. The City has conducted extensive
community outreach and meetings with property owners to identify those sites most suitable for
rezoning to multi-family use at 10 to 30 units per acre .2 Sites recommended for re-designation were
selected based on several factors: existing land use and feasibility for redevelopment within the planning
period; neighborhood compatibility and community context; property owner interest; location within a
Redevelopment Project Area; and an overriding goal to disperse affordable housing opportunities
throughout the community.
2 Housing Element statutes provide for the use of "default densities" to assess affordability when evaluating the
adequacy of sites to address the affordability targets established by the RHNA. Yorba Linda falls within the default
density of 30 units per acre for providing sites affordable to very low and low income households; sites suitable for
moderate income households can be provided at 10 units per acre.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 2-5 May 2010
Initial Study
As presented in Table 1, Sites for Potential Rezoning to Multi-Family at 10, 20, and 30 units per acre, 13
sites have been identified for proposed rezoning in the Draft Housing Element, including properties with
current single-family residential and commercial zoning. Redesignation of these 13 sites for multi-family
use would accommodate the development of up to 1,106 units, providing sufficient sites at densities
suitable to address the City's RHNA needs for all income levels.
The Citywide locations of the 13 proposed rezone sites is provided in Exhibit 2, Potential Multi-Family
Housing Sites Key Map; Exhibit 3, Potential Multi-Family Housing Sites - Locations 1 thru 5, 9, & 12;
and Exhibit 4, Potential Multi-Family Housing Sites - Locations 6 thru 8, 10, 11, & 13. It is anticipated
that HCD will provide Draft Housing Element certification conditional on the City successfully rezoning
these 13 properties to accommodate higher-density residential land uses as well as adopting a number of
Zoning Code amendments in order to implement the Draft Housing Element. Specifically, this would
require the City to prepare a method in which the implementation of the Draft Housing Element
Programs No. 10, 14, 16, and 18 could be achieved.
The City is proposing to achieve this by several methods, including but not limited to the development of
two new General Plan land use categories; Land Use Element and zoning text amendments; General Plan
and zoning map revisions; the establishment of a set of residential development and design guidelines to
regulate consistency with the character of Yorba Linda; updating Section 18.18 of the Municipal Code;
and developing additional affordable housing incentives.
In June of 2006 citizens of Yorba Linda successfully adopted Measure B, known as the "right to vote on
land use amendment initiatives." This initiative requires Citywide elections to approve certain "major
amendments" to City planning documents such as General Plans, Zoning Ordinances, and Specific Plans,
and establishes new noticing and public hearing requirements for "regular amendments" to planning
documents. Twelve of the 13 multi-family rezone properties considered in the Draft Housing Element
and various minor amendments required to implement the plan and conform to HCD conditions of
approval will require Measure B compliance and a Citywide vote.
The preparation of the Draft Housing Element has been conducted through an open and public process
with review of various drafts, assessment of methods to comply with the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) targets, and evaluation of multiple candidate sites throughout the City to determine
how to meet the State Housing Element statutes and RHNA requirements.
Analysis in this document is limited to the review of potential environmental impacts resulting from the
adoption of the Housing Element; there is no immediate physical development associated with the
project as it is defined. The specific environmental effects of development on sites identified in the
Housing Element would vary on a project-by-project basis, and would be evaluated as individual project
proposals are submitted.

2.6 Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the
project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an x
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2)
has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on
attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must
analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately
in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b)
have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, nothing further is required.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The following environmental checklist analysis was prepared as a tool to screen potential environmental
impacts and is consistent with that contained in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. An
environmental impact analysis discussion and finding is included for each issue area.
3.1 Aesthetics
Potentially
Significant
Potentially Unless Less Than
AESTHETICS - Significant Mitigation Significant No
Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
X
vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to, trees, rock
X
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a
state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its X
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime X
views in the area?
Response a:
The Draft Housing Element and Implementation Programs would make possible new residential
development that could potentially affect scenic resources. As subsequent infill and redevelopment
residential projects occur, potential project specific impacts to viewsheds would be assessed, and could
require additional CEQA analysis in accordance with Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Such
projects would be required to adhere to applicable City design and development standards that have
been, or are being, established with the Draft Housing Element to regulate development to be consistent
with the quality and character of Yorba Linda. This topic will not be discussed further in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
The Draft Housing Element includes the potential rezoning of 13 sites, which are characterized by
urban/suburban development. These areas do not contain any designated state scenic highways or
significant trees, rock outcroppings, or similar significant scenic resources. This topic will not be
discussed further in the Draft EIR.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-1 May 2010
Initial Study
A Citywide Historic Property Survey was recently completed by Galvin Preservation Associates, and will
be reviewed to determine if the 13 rezone sites would potentially contain historic resources. Any potential
impacts to historic structures will be addressed in the Draft EIR under the Cultural Resources.
Response c:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element and Implementation Programs would potentially alter the
existing development patterns because new infill and redevelopment projects would occur. New
development would be required to be in scale with existing development and adjacent uses, which are
primarily commercial, institutional, and residential uses. One of the main tasks being conducted as part
of the Draft Housing Element and Program 14 is the preparation of a set of multi-family residential
development standards and design guidelines to regulate development consistent with the quality and
character of Yorba Linda. Although the aesthetic character of the project area may change with
implementation of the Draft Housing Element, the proposed guidelines and standards are proposed to
improve area aesthetics and will address building scale, visual character, viewsheds, architectural design,
and public realm improvements. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
As infill development/redevelopment occurs under the Draft Housing Element, there is potential for
additional light sources to be added to the 13 rezone project sites. It is not anticipated that the project
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area since projects will be required to comply with
City design standards and guidelines. Additional guidelines and standards may be included in the
development standards and design guidelines being prepared as part of the Draft Housing Element to
further minimize potential light impacts. This topic will not be discussed further in the Draft EIR.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-2 May 2010
Initial Study
3.2 Agriculture and Forestry Resources
Potentially
Significant
Potentially Unless Less Than
AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - Significant Mitigation Significant No
Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
X
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to
non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural
X
use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause
rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 12220(8)), timberland (as
X
defined in Public Resources Code section 4526) or
timberland zoned Timberland Production (as
defined b Government Code section 51104 ?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of
X
forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to X
non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land
to non-forest use?
Responses a, b, and e:
The 13 potential rezone sites are designated as "Urban and Built-up Land" by the California Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources agency; therefore, the proposed Draft
Housing Element would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance to nonagricultural use. While one of the rezone sites is used for a nursery and another
historically as a strawberry field, none of the 13 potential rezone sites are zoned for agricultural uses, nor
are there any adjacently zoned agricultural uses that could cause a conflict with potential future
residential land uses on these sites. The Draft Housing Element and rezoning of sites would not conflict
with any existing agriculturally zoned uses or Williamson Act contracts, or result in other changes what
would require the conversion of farmland to other nonagricultural uses. There are no Williamson Act
contracts for the 13 rezone sites or for areas adjacent to the sites. The Draft Housing Element and
Implementation Programs would not affect agriculture resources. These topics will not be discussed
further in the Draft EIR.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-3 May 2010
Initial Study
Please refer to Responses b and d for a discussion of impacts to forest resources. There would be no
impact to forest resources.
Responses b and d:
There is no forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(8)), timberland (as defined in
Public Resources Code section 4526) or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by
Government Code section 51104 (g) on the 13 potential rezone sites. The Draft Housing Element and
Implementation Programs would not affect forest resources. These topics will not be addressed further in
the Draft EIR.
3.3 Air Quality
AIR QUALITY - Where available, the significance Potentially
criteria established by the applicable air quality Significant
management or air pollution control district may Potentially Unless Less Than
be relied upon to make the following Significant Mitigation Significant No
determinations. Would the project: Impact Incor orated Im act Im act
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the X
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality X
violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality X
standard (including releasing emissions which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial X
pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a
X
substantial number of people?
Response a, b, and c:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element and the potential rezoning of 13 sites would alter existing
development patterns, increase residential density, and result in the potential demolition of structures,
construction and site grading, as well as traffic generation. The project area covered in the Draft Housing
Element is located in the South Coast Air Basin, where air quality is under the jurisdiction of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The Draft EIR will analyze Air Quality Management
Plan (AQMP) consistency, short-term construction-related impacts, and long-term operations-related
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-4 May 2010
Initial Study
impacts based upon the potential land use intensities defined for the Draft Housing Element. These topics
will be further examined in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
Please refer to Response a, above. Further, as subsequent infill/redevelopment occurs under the Draft
Housing Element, potential project-specific impacts to sensitive receptors would be assessed and may
require additional CEQA analysis in accordance with Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Such
projects would be required to adhere to applicable air quality standards and regulations.
Response e:
During construction of potential development/redevelopment projects under the Draft Housing Element,
diesel-operated machinery likely would be used in grading and building operations; this would result in
short-term exposure of immediately adjacent areas to diesel odors. However, these odors would be
transient and would not be anticipated to result in a substantial nuisance. In addition, long-term
operations of residential uses associated with implementation of the Draft Housing Element would not be
anticipated to generate substantially different odors than the existing development patterns in the area.
As subsequent infill/redevelopment projects occur, potential project-specific impacts from odors would
be assessed and may require additional CEQA analysis in accordance with Section 15162 of the State
CEQA Guidelines. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

3.4 Biological Resources
Potentially
Significant
Potentially Unless Less Than
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - Significant Mitigation Significant No
Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
a) 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, X
policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, X
policies, regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally
protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, X
marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct
removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or
other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of
any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or X
migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nurse sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances
protecting biological resources, such as a tree X
reservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted
Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
X
Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
Responses a and b:
While the Nixon Archive site reveals a few characteristics of being a previous drainage wash, all 13
potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element are urbanized development and vacant,
disturbed parcels. The General Plan Recreation and Resources Element (Exhibit RR-4, Sensitive Natural
Resources) indicates that these rezone sites are not within or near any known riparian habitat or natural
vegetation areas. In addition, the rezone sites do not contain or are not near any identified animal
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3$ May 2010
Initial Study
movement corridors. Further, the existing General Plan EIR does identify any sensitive natural resources
within the rezone sites. The rezone sites are also surrounded by urbanized uses. It is unlikely that the
rezone sites would support native habitat, sensitive plant or wildlife species, or wildlife corridors. The
Draft Housing Element would not conflict with any plans, policies, or regulations protecting sensitive
species, riparian habitat, or sensitive natural communities. These topics will not be addressed further in
the Draft EIR.
Response c:
There are no federally protected wetlands located on the 13 potential rezone sites, thus no impacts are
anticipated in association with the Draft Housing Element. This topic will not be addressed further in the
Draft EIR.
Response d:
Wildlife movement and habitat fragmentation would not occur as a result of the Draft Housing Element
since the 13 potential rezone sites are largely developed and surrounded by existing urban/suburban
development. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response e:
The City does not have any local policies or ordinances regarding biological issues. Therefore, the Draft
Housing Element would not conflict with local biological policies. The City does, however, require a tree
removal permit that applies to activities on vacant or City-owned properties. Removal of any trees on
vacant or City-owned properties would be governed by the tree removal process. This topic will not be
addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response f:
The project area is largely urbanized, as noted previously, and there are no adopted habitat conservation
plans, natural community conservation plans, or any other local, regional, or state habitat conservation
plans that include these sites. Moreover, the City does not have any local policies or ordinances regarding
biological issues that may be of concern with the exception of tree removal permits required on vacant of
City-owned parcels, as discussed above. Therefore, the Draft Housing Element would not conflict with
local biological policies or ordinances and no impact would occur. The topic will not be addressed further
in the Draft EIR.

3.5 Cultural Resources
Potentially
Significant
Potentially Unless Less Than
CULTURAL RESOURCES - Significant Mitigation Significant No
Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource as defined in X
Section 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of an archaeological resource X
pursuant to Section 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique
paleontological resource or site or unique geologic X
feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those
X
interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Response a:
There is potential for the Draft Housing Element to cause substantial adverse change in historical
resources. The 13 potential rezone sites will be reviewed using the recently completed Citywide
Historical Property Survey. This topic will be discussed further in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element are either presently developed or
heavily disturbed, and according to the existing General Plan EIR, there are no known archaeological
resources within the location of these sites. Compliance with Standard Condition Planning no. 06, which
requires that unknown resources be adequately addressed, would ensure that impacts to such resources
are less than significant. Additionally, as subsequent infill and redevelopment residential projects occur,
any needed Native American consultation would be assessed, and could require additional CEQA
analysis in accordance with Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This topic will not be analyzed
further in the Draft EIR.
Response c:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element do not contain any unique
geologic features. All of the 13 potential rezone sites are either presently developed or graded, and
according to the General Plan EIR, there are no known paleontological resources within these areas. It is
possible, however, that the paleontological resources may be uncovered during subsequent
development/redevelopment and construction depending on the depth of any possible excavation.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-8 May 2010
Initial Study
Compliance with Standard Condition Planning no. 07, which requires that unknown paleontological
resources be adequately addressed, would ensure that impacts to such resources are less than significant.
This topic will not be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
There are no known archeological resources within the area of the 13 potential rezone sites as indicated in
Responses b and c. Although the potential for encountering human remains is remote, compliance with
State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 would ensure
that any unknown human remains discovered during construction activities for subsequent
development/redevelopment are adequately addressed. This topic will not be analyzed further in the
Draft EIR.

Initial Study
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting
the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
X
disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of waste water?
Response a.i:
According to the existing City of Yorba Linda Official Zoning Map, none of the 13 rezone sites associated
with the Draft Housing Element are within a designated Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone. While the Draft
Housing Element would allow infill development/redevelopment, there is no immediate physical
development associated with the project as it is defined. Subsequent development is not anticipated to
alter the level of seismic risks that presently exist in the area. Consequently, no direct impacts associated
with known earthquake faults are anticipated with the project. Site-specific geologic and soil engineering
investigations are required for any subsequent infill development/redevelopment in accordance with
seismic standards of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). Therefore, earthquake fault hazards will not be
analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response a.ii:
The project is located within the seismically active Southern California region, where seismic ground
shaking is likely to occur due to earthquakes. The nearest known fault is the Whittier Fault Special
Studies Zone in the foothills to the northeast of the downtown area, as shown in City of Yorba Linda
Official Zoning Map. While the Draft Housing Element would allow infill development/redevelopment
associated with the 13 potential rezone sites, there would be no immediate physical development
associated with the project as it is defined. Subsequent development is not anticipated to alter the level of
seismic risks that presently exist in the area. Site-specific geologic and soil engineering investigations are
required for any subsequent infill development/redevelopment in accordance with seismic standards of
the Uniform Building Code (UBC). Consequently, seismic ground shaking will not be analyzed further in
the Draft EIR.
Response a.iii:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element are not in or near a Liquefaction
Action/Subsidence area as designated by the General Plan Public Safety Element (Exhibit S-I). While the
Draft Housing Element would allow infill development/redevelopment, there is no immediate physical
development associated with the project as it is defined. Subsequent development is not anticipated to
alter the level of risk associated with potential seismic-related ground failure or liquefaction that
presently exists in the project area. Site-specific geologic and soil engineering investigations are required
for any subsequent infill development/redevelopment in accordance with seismic standards of the UBC.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-10 May 2010
Initial Study
Consequently, seismic-related ground failure and liquefaction hazards will not be analyzed further in the
Draft EIR.
Response a.iv:
Terrain of the 13 rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element is relatively level, and no
landslides are known to exist there. The rezone sites are not shown within or near a Landslide Area by as
designated by the General Plan Public Safety Element (Exhibit S-I). While the Draft Housing Element
would allow infill development/redevelopment, there is no immediate physical development associated
with the project as it is defined. Subsequent development is not anticipated to alter the level of seismic
risks due to landslides that may presently exist in the project area. Site-specific geologic and soil
engineering investigations are required for any subsequent infill development/redevelopment in
accordance with seismic standards of the UBC. Consequently, seismically induced landslides will not be
analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
Terrain of the 13 rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element is relatively level. While the
Draft Housing Element would allow infill development/redevelopment, there is no immediate physical
development associated with the project as it is defined. Soil erosion could, however, occur during
subsequent construction and site preparation associated with future infill development/redevelopment.
Compliance with standard erosion control measures in the City's Municipal Code (Section 14.40.090 and
15.40.510) would be required in future grading permits and would minimize any effects due to
waterborne or airborne soil erosion. Other measures may also be identified in subsequent site-specific
geologic and soil engineering investigations required for all future development. Consequently, soil
erosion and loss of topsoil will not be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response c:
Please refer to Responses a and b, above. This topic will not be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
Please refer to Responses a and b, above. This topic will not be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.
Response e:
All subsequent infill development/redevelopment associated with the Draft Housing Element would be
connected to the municipal wastewater facilities and would not require the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems. This topic will not be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either
directly or indirectly, that may have a significant X
impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing X
emissions of greenhouse gases?
Response a and b:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element and the potential rezoning of 13 sites would alter existing
development patterns, increase residential density, and result in the potential demolition of structures,
construction and site grading, as well as traffic generation. These activities have the potential to generate
greenhouse gas emissions and will require analysis. The analysis of the global climate change impacts
due to the Draft Housing Element will be completed to meet the standards and requirements of the City
of Yorba Linda and available guidance provided by relevant federal, state (AB 32 and SB 375), and local
agencies. These topics will be analyzed further in the Draft EIR.

rezone sites could include diesel- and gasoline-powered engines. A very minimal risk would be present
from gasoline or diesel tank rupture. Compliance with state construction site safety regulations limits the
risk of upset to less than significant levels. Because of the limited duration of these activities, the risk of
hazardous spillage/upset conditions is considered less than significant.
In addition, subsequent development projects would be reviewed for their potential impacts related to
potential risks of upset and accident conditions in accordance with CEQA and OCFA requirements, and
appropriate investigation would be conducted based on the individual circumstances involved. This
topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

potential impacts related to hazardous materials issues in accordance with CEQA and OCFA
requirements, and an appropriate investigation would be conducted based on the individual
circumstances involved. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue are anticipated for components of the
proposed Specific Plan. This topic will not be further addressed in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element have been developed with a
variety of uses. While the Draft Housing Element would allow infill development/redevelopment on
these sites, there is no immediate physical development associated with the project as it is defined. Any
future development of the sites would require that a stand-alone HMS report be prepared that identifies
any hazardous conditions and mitigation to alleviate such conditions. In other words, subsequent
development projects would be reviewed for their potential impacts related to potential risks in
accordance with CEQA and OCFA requirements, and an appropriate investigation would be conducted
based on the individual circumstances involved. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response e:
The Draft Housing Element project area is not located within an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of
a public airport or public use airport. Three public air travel facilities are located in Orange County, and
they are located 10 miles or more from the City of Yorba Linda: John Wayne Airport (JWA), Fullerton
Municipal Airport (FMA), and Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. This topic will not be addressed

This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response g:
The City of Yorba Linda Emergency Plan (Municipal Code 2.32.080) provides for the effective
mobilization of the resources of the City, both public and private, to meet any condition constituting a
local emergency, state of emergency, or state of war emergency; and provides for the organization,
powers and duties, services, and staff of the emergency organization. No component of the Draft
Housing Element would impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency
response plan or emergency evacuation plan. All subsequent infill development/redevelopment would be
required to comply with any and all such plans that may be applicable to any project or site. This topic
will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response h:
Rezone of the 13 potential sites associated with the Draft Housing Element would allow for infill
development in an existing urbanized area. There is no interface with nearby or adjacent wildland areas.
In addition, theses sites are not within a high wildfire hazard area as identified by the Orange County
Fire Authority's Wildland Urban Interface Map. Lastly any new structure developed as part of the
Housing Element would need to meet UBC Chapter 7A fire safety construction requirements as
applicable. Therefore, the Draft Housing Element would not expose people or structures to a significant
risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft
EIR.

Storm runoff from development associated with the Draft Housing Element, and discharges of runoff
into and/or encroachment upon natural drainages, wetlands, and/or flood plains (if any) are subject to the
requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Sections 1251 et seq.; CWA) and associated
regulations, the State Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Cal. Water Code Sections 1300 et seq.)
and associated regulations, and to requirements established by the U.S. EPA, State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB), County of Orange, and the City of Yorba Linda.
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-16 May 2010
Initial Study
The City of Yorba Linda is required by the Santa Ana Region Municipal Permit to minimize short- and
long-term impacts on receiving waters from new development and significant redevelopment to the
maximum extent practicable. The City requires new development and significant redevelopment projects
within the City to address storm water quality impacts through incorporation of permanent
(post-construction) Best Management Practices (BMPs) in project design. "New development" includes
land disturbing activities; structural development, including construction or installation of a building or
structure; the creation of impervious surfaces; and land subdivision. "Significant redevelopment" means
development that would create or add at least 5,000 square feet of impervious surfaces on an already
developed site as defined by the Municipal Permit. Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs) are
required for private and public "new development" and "significant redevelopment" projects. The City
requires the project applicant to submit a project WQMP at the project processing and permitting stages.
In general, the WQMPs shall follow guidelines set forth in Model WQMP, provided in the Orange
County Drainage Area Management Plan.
Potential development/redevelopment under the Draft Housing Element would be similar in nature to
existing development in the area and vicinity. Existing requirements for development or redevelopment
include the review by the City Engineer to ensure adequate drainage facilities are provided that meet
City design standards and requirements. In addition, construction activities must be conducted in
compliance with the approved Stormwater Pollutant Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and ongoing
development operations must comply with an approved WQMP in accordance with all local, state, and
federal regulations. BMPs are required in both plans to minimize potential waterborne pollutants.
Potential water quality or waste discharge impacts for the Draft Housing Element would be less than
significant due to the nature of the project and existing standards and procedures already in place. This
topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
Domestic water would be provided for development associated with the Draft Housing Element via the
municipal system. The Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) provides water service for the Draft Housing
Element project area. The City utilizes two primary sources of water supply: groundwater produced from
YLWD wells and imported water from the Metropolitan Water District. The proposed project would
increase demand on water supplies due to the development of the approximately 1,100 residential units
that would result from implementation of the Draft Housing Element. Please refer to Section 3.17,
Response d, where this topic will be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response c:
There are no streams or rivers within the area of the 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft
Housing Element. In general, these sites drain to the existing storm drain system. Remaining areas

Initial Study
discharge to surrounding streets and enter the public storm drain system. Subsequent development
would require the study of localized conditions and construction of additional storm drains based on
site-specific conditions and proposed development plans. City standards required developed storm flows
to be less than or equal to existing storm flows. Please also see Response a, above. This topic will not be
further addressed in the Draft EIR.
Response d:
Please refer to Responses a and c, above. There are no streams or rivers within the area of the 13 potential
rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element and are not located in a flood plain area. These
sites are characterized by current urbanized development with scattered vacant and underutilized
parcels. City standards require storm flows from proposed development to be less than or equal to
existing storm flows. The potential for flooding is not anticipated to be substantially altered by actions
presently under consideration. This topic will not be further addressed in the Draft EIR.
Response e:
The drainage patterns of the 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element would
be generally retained. Appropriate drainage improvements would be made on individual sites to contain
and direct stormwater flows as necessary. Each project would be required to demonstrate adequacy of
drainage improvements. Please also refer to Response a, above, addressing potential waterborne
pollutant impacts. The Draft Housing Element is not anticipated to create or contribute runoff that would
exceed the capacity of existing or planed stormwater drainage systems. Impacts are anticipated to be less
than significant. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response f:
Nonstructural and structural BMPs as noted in Response a, above, and related requirements would be
used to reduce water quality impacts to a less than significant level. This topic will not be addressed
further in the Draft EIR.
Response g:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element are not located within a flood
hazard area, as disclosed in the General Plan Safety Element (Exhibit S-1, Public Safety Map) and Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The Draft Housing Element would
not place housing within a 100-year flood zone. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

Response is
Please refer to Responses g and h. The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing
Element are not located within a dam or levee inundation area. This topic will not be addressed further in
the Draft EIR.
Response j:
There are no water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, or oceans upstream of the 13 potential rezone sites
associated with the Draft Housing Element that could inundate the project area. The City of Yorba Linda
is more than 15 miles inland and is not within a tsunami zone. There are no hillsides or significant slope
areas adjacent to the 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element that could
generate a mudflow. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue would be anticipated with the
implementation of the Draft Housing Element. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

Response a:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element would result in changes in land use in some cases, as
described in Section 2, Project Description, Table 1. These changes would occur on the 13 potential
rezone sites associated Draft Housing Element. As these areas are currently urbanized, the Draft Housing
Element would not physically divide an established community. This topic will not be addressed further
in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
The City is proposing two new General Plan land use categories; Land Use Element and zoning text
amendments; General Plan and zoning map revisions; the establishment of a set of residential
development and design guidelines to regulate consistency with the character of Yorba Linda; updating
Section 18.18 of the Municipal Code; and developing additional affordable-housing incentives. These
actions will allow for the adoption of the Draft Housing Element and consistency with the General Plan.
As subsequent infill and redevelopment residential projects occur, potential project specific impacts to
land use would be assessed, however, and could require additional CEQA analysis in accordance with
Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response c:
The development areas proposed under the Draft Housing Element are largely urbanized, as noted
previously, and there are no adopted habitat conservation plans, natural community conservation plans,
or any other local, regional, or state habitat conservation plans that include theses areas. This topic will

Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-21 May 2010
Initial Study
Response a:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element and the potential rezoning of 13 sites would alter existing
development patterns and increase residential density. These activities could result in the potential
demolition of structures, construction, and site grading, the location of residential uses near stationary
noise sources, as well as increased traffic generation. All these activities have the potential to increase
ambient noise and vibration levels within the City of Yorba Linda and to exceed acceptable noise
standards. This topic will be further examined in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
As discussed in Response a, above, the proposed project may expose persons to excessive groundborne
noise or vibration. This topic will be further examined in the Draft EIR.
Response c:
As discussed in Response a, above, the proposed project may generate a permanent increase in ambient
noise levels. This topic will be further examined in the Draft EIR.

Response a:
The 2000 Census documents 19,252 households in Yorba Linda, with an average household size of
3.05 persons. Approximately 13 single-family residential units (Site nos. 2, 9, 10, 11, and 13) currently
exist on the 13 potential rezone sites. Assuming these existing residential units are occupied, there would
be an estimated 40 occupants. As summarized in Section 2, Project Description, the rezone of the 13 sites
could result in a net increase up to approximately 1,100 dwelling units under the Draft Housing Element
with a corresponding net increase of approximately 3,355 persons. This increase could exceed General
Plan population projections and Southern California Association of Governments growth forecasts. This
topic will be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Responses b and c:
As discussed in Response a, approximately 40 residents are estimated to currently reside within the 13
potential rezone sites. Up to 13 existing residences could be affected by rezoning associated with the
Draft Housing Element. However, increased housing opportunities are proposed as part of the Draft
Housing Element for up to approximately 1,100 net new dwelling units. Potential displacement of
persons is not considered "substantial" due to the limited number of potential residents affected and the
planned provision of additional housing in the City. Such impacts are considered to be less than
significant. These topics will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

Response a:
Implementation of the Draft Housing Element and rezone of 13 sites would result in an increase in both
AM and PM peak-hour trips, as well as average daily trips. An estimate of vehicle trips was generated
using the Institute of Transportation Engineers' 2008 Trip Generation, 8th Edition. There would be a net
increase of 349 AM (7:00 to 9:00) peak hour trips and an increase of 390 PM (4:00 to 6:00) peak-hour trips.
Average daily trips in the City of Yorba Linda would increase by approximately 4,185 net trips. These
increases in vehicle trips could result in conflicts with City of Yorba Linda applicable plans, ordinances,

Response a:
Please refer to Response e, below.
Response b:
Please refer to Responses d and e, below.
Response c:
Each project proposed on the 13 potential rezone sites would be required to demonstrate adequacy of
drainage improvements. Given that most of the project areas are developed with hardscape, impervious
surfaces would not substantially increase under developed conditions. Due to the infill nature of the
projects, the need for substantial new construction or expansion of storm drain facilities that would cause
a significant environmental effect is not anticipated. This topic will not be addressed further in the Draft
EIR.
Response d:
The Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) provides water service for the Draft Housing Element project
area. The City utilizes two primary sources of water supply: groundwater produced from YLWD wells
and imported water from the Metropolitan Water District. The proposed project would increase demand
on water supplies due to the development of the approximately 1,100 residential units that would result
from implementation of the Draft Housing Element. This topic will be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response e:
The City of Yorba Linda's local sanitary sewer system is tributary to the Orange County Sanitation
District (OCSD) District 2. Wastewater from the City sewer system and the YLWD system is conveyed to
the County trunk and interceptor sewer to regional treatment and disposal facilities. The proposed
project would increase demand on wastewater capacity due to the development of approximately 1,100
residential units as a result of the implementation of the Draft Housing Element. While it is anticipated
there would be sufficient capacity in the existing sewer system downstream to handle the anticipated
sewers flows, this topic will be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Responses f and g:
All waste generated in the City of Yorba Linda is collected by Yorba Linda Disposal Services (YLDS).
YLDS is a subsidiary of Taormina Industries, which also serves several surrounding cities. Waste is
picked up in neighborhoods once a week and taken to the CVT Regional Materials Recovery Facility in
Anaheim (MRF) for separation and processing. At the MRF, the waste is sorted into trash and recyclables.
The trash is processed at CVT's Regional Waste Transfer Center before being transported to the
Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-29 May 2010
Initial Study
Olinda Alpha Landfill in Orange County. Olinda-Apha Landfill is a Class III landfill that accepts
agricultural, construction/demolition, industrial, mixed municipal, and wood waste, and tires.
In accordance with state law, the City of Yorba Linda has achieved steady gains in its diversion rate of
solid waste from the landfill, through conservation, recycling, and composting. The City's diversion rate
increased from 43 percent in 1995 to 60 percent in 2000. The City is required to maintain this diversion
rate of 50 percent pursuant to AB 939, known as the Integrated Waste Management Act. In order to
facilitate the diversion of waste from landfills, the City of Yorba Linda participates in over 20 programs.
The proposed project would participate in all existing and future applicable recycling programs.
The proposed project would increase demand on landfill capacity due to the development of
approximately 1,100 residential units as a result of the implementation of the Draft Housing Element.
While it is anticipated there would be sufficient landfill capacity to handle solid waste generated as result
of the Draft Housing Element, this topic will not be addressed further in the Draft EIR.

Yorba Linda Housing Element and Implementation Program 3-30 May 2010
Initial Study
Response a:
The 13 potential rezone sites associated with the Draft Housing Element are characterized by existing
urban/suburban development and vacant/disturbed parcels. Theses sites are not subject to any applicable
habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Additionally, no habitat areas are
designated as being located in or adjacent to theses areas, according to the General Plan
Recreation/Resources Element (Exhibit RR 4, Sensitive Natural Resources). Therefore, this topic will not
be addressed further in the Draft EIR.
Response b:
The Draft Housing Element will allow for potential development opportunities in the City of Yorba
Linda. Future development projects that may be implemented have potential to contribute cumulatively
adverse environmental impacts (e.g., air quality, transportation, etc.). Therefore, the Draft EIR will
discuss potential for cumulative impacts as a result of the Specific Plan.
Response c:
Please see Response b, above. The Draft EIR will include an evaluation of potential cumulative impacts
(i.e., traffic, air quality, etc.) At this time, there are no known substantial adverse impacts on human
beings that would be caused by the proposed project. However, the Draft EIR will include an
environmental evaluation of direct and indirect impacts that may occur as a result of the project.

Subject: MWDOC Turf Removal Rebate Program
SUMMARY:
Due to the availability of approximately $250,000 in member agency administered funds from MWD,
MWDOC is considering implementation of a new turf removal rebate program. The program will
require participating agencies to provide the resources for both a pre- and post- inspection and will
rebate qualified participants $1 per square foot of traditional lawn turf that is removed and replaced
with water efficient landscape.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider participation in MWDOC's Turf Removal Rebate Program with
matching funds up to $10,000.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This matter was discussed briefly at the Public Information- Technology Committee Meeting on
September 16, 2010. Staff has since received additional information indicating MWDOC's desire to
determine the number of agencies interested in participating in the program and whether or not they
are planning to match funds to increase the incentives and the program's overall success.
DISCUSSION:
The Turf Removal Rebate Program would run as a partnership between the individual MWDOC-
member agencies that wish to participate and MWDOC itself. MWD would not be directly involved in
the administration of the rebate program, as they have been in the past. As such, the traditional
rebate administration companies will also not be used. Instead, both a pre- and post-site inspection
is required by the participating agency to ensure that all components of the rebate program are
adhered to. These components include:
. A minimum of 250 sq/ft and a maximum of 10,000 sq/ft of turf must be removed
. Projects must not be started prior to the acceptance of the application
. The converted area cannot include any live or synthetic turf
. If a watering system is used, it must be either a drip or bubbler system. Weather-based
irrigation systems or rotating nozzles are not allowed
. All exposed soil must be covered with a 2-3" layer of mulch
. Converted area must be permeable to air and water (no concrete)
Additionally, the City of Yorba Linda requires that all front and side lawns "be landscaped and
consist primarily of plant materials". Per the Community Preservation department, this ordinance is
interpreted as at least 51 % plants. A traditional lawn is not required.
The responsibility of both the pre- and post- inspection falls solely on the member agency from
which the rebate application originates.
As MWDOC is in the final stages of developing the program and anticipates taking the program to
their Board of Directors for approval on October 20, 2010; they anticipate that the program would
begin accepting applications shortly thereafter, with the program to cease accepting applications
January 31, 2011 and all monies paid by March 31, 2011; or whenever funds are expended. The
$250,000 in member-agency administered funds consists of approximately $80,000 for residential
use and $170,000 for commercial use.
In addition to the $1 per sq/ft of MWDOC-administered money, each member agency is also
allowed to match the funding. As this program was not anticipated, it was not included in the FY
2010-11 budget. However, their remains approximately $15,000 within the Conservation Rebates
line item, with staff anticipating that less than $5,000 will be used for SmarTimers and synthetic turf
rebates by the end of the current fiscal year. As a point of comparison, IRWD, South Coast, City of
San Clemente and City of San Juan Capistrano are all participating and anticipate matching funds,
with no specific monetary cutoff as of yet. The City of Westminster has declined to participate and
MWDOC is still waiting to hear from the other member agencies.

be accepted by YLWD. During the discussion, the Committee suggested
additional language to include City support of possible legislation to
facilitate District representation on the Orange County Sanitation Board of
Directors. The Committee supported the remaining revisions and
requested that staff continue to move the process along with the City.

1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
2. ACTION CALENDAR
2.1. July 2010 Budget to Actual Results
Mr. Parker presented the July 2010 financial report. He explained that
water operating revenue was lower than normal mostly due to water
conservation by the customers. The budget was based on 15%
conservation and through July, customers are conserving over 23%. Mr.
Parker also explained that Production - in their efforts to lower variable
water costs for the year - have purchased more import water prior to the
MWD increase, which takes effect on January 1, 2011. This in turn has a
higher percentage of water costs hitting in the early months of the year, as
the less expensive groundwater will be pumped in greater quantities in the
second half of the fiscal year. Mr. Parker further clarified that salary
related expenses were lower than expected because approximately half of
the expenses paid in July were accrued back to Fiscal Year 2009/10. He
explained that this would continue until the last month of the fiscal year.
Lastly Mr. Parker pointed out that supplies and services and depreciation
and amortization were in line with their budgeted expectations. The
Committee reviewed, received and filed the July 2010 Budget to Actual
Results.
2.2. Monthly Investment Report for July 2010
Mr. Parker noted that CIP spending has decreased the COP Revenue
Bond 2008 Fund by over $600,000 from the prior month. He also
explained that the Water Operating Fund is negative as a result of a
semiannual payment of the OCWD Replenishment Assessment. He
acknowledged that the reserve policy that the Board had approved in May
will allow for a Water Operating Fund to be built up to the point where
borrowing from other funds would not have to take place thoughout the
year. However, as the District is only two months into the fiscal year,
there has not been enough of a build-up as of yet. Mr. Parker explained
1
that in future years the semianual payment will not cause the Water
Operating Fund to go negative. The Committee received and filed the
Monthly Investment Report for July 2010.
3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
3.1. 2010 Audit Update (Verbal Report)
Mr. Parker indicated the auditors had left the field, but were still working
on providing the draft of the financial statements to the District. He
explained that a timeline has been established that will allow for the final
CAFR to be presented to the Finance-Accounting Committee during the
October meeting, and presented to the full Board for adoption at the
following meeting.
3.2. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
