[l 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 the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [l I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [l I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, and if any remaining effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact' or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated," an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. -2- CECA Env. Checklist Part 1 . . . File No. CUP 05-018 and ADR No. 05-03 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 all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report pursuant to applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator [ ] For: The City of Arcadia - Development Services Department ~,61L~ Signature fl~ch Date Lisa Flores Printed Name Donna Butler For EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impacf' answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impacf' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects such as the one involved (e.g., the project is not within a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project- specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction related as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate If there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an Environmental Impact Report is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impacf' to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17 "Earlier Analyses" may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report, or other CECA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration {Section 15063(c)(3)(D)}. Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. -3- CECA Env. Checklist Part 1 . . . File No. CUP OS:018 and ADR No. 05-03 a) Earlier Analyses Used; Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures that were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate Into the checklist, references to infonnation sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Infonnation Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. The explanation of each Issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less.lhan significant. -4.

The proposed project will not affect any scenic vista since the proposed project will not be located near iii scenic vista or highway. Also, the proposed design has been conceptually approved through design review to ensure the architectural style compiles with the City's Central Business District Design Guidelines. Therefore, the proposed project will not create a significant adverse Impact In terms of aesthetic to the adjacent land uses. 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - In detennining whether impacts to agriculture resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the Califomia Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and fannland. Would the project: a) ConvElrt Prime Fannland, Unique Fannland, or Fannland of StateWide Importance (Farmland) to non-agricultural use?

There will be no elimination or reduction In the numbers of unique, rare, or endangered species of plants since the subject site does not contain any known populat/ons of rare or endangered species, only non-native plant species. The project will not Introduce any new species Into the area, or result In a ba"ler to the normal replenishment of exlst/ng species since the proposed project will only temove annual, non-native, or ornamental plant/ngs. Therefore, the project will not reduce the acreag,e of any agricultural crop since the subject site Is not an agricultural use. As for the De Minimis Impact Finding, there Is no evidence before the City that the proposed project will have any potent/al adverse effect on wildlife resources. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES - Would the project: a) Cause a substantia.1 adverse change in the significance of a 0 0 0 [81 historical resource as defined in ~ 15064.5? b) Cause a substantial adverse change In the significance of an 0 0 0 [81 archaeological resource pursuant to ~ 15064.5? c) Directly or Indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or 0 0 0 [81 site or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those Interred outside of 0 0 0 [81 fonnal cemeteries? .

Traffic and parking study was prepared by Linscott, Law and Greenspan to evaluate any potential Impacts from the new health club. Based on the analysis, the City Engineer determined that the proposed project will not create any significant Impacts at any of the major Intersections since the fitness center generates less traffic than the existing bank building. Even though the proposed health club will not meet the minimum parking requirement per City's Code, the Institute of Transportation (ITE) parking generation data only shows that 277 parking spaces would be needed during peak period for both the health club and existing restaurant As a result, the proposed parking of 280 parking spaces would be more than adequate to accommodate parking for both uses. d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or Incompatible uses (e,g" farm equipment)? e) Result in Inadequate emergency access? f) Result In Inadequate parking capacity? 16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS - Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result In the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expanSion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing antlUements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? In making this determination, the City shall consider whether the project is subject to the water supply assessment requirements of Water Code Section 10910, etseq, (SB 610), and the requirements of Government Code Section 664737 (8B221).

D D D [g! It Is anticipated that the project would connect to existing power and natural gas Infrastructure In the vicinity of the project site. Construction contractors are required by state law (CA Government Code Section 4216) to coordinate with Underground Services Alert (Dig Alert) prior to excavation to determine the location of the existing utilities. . The City of Arcadia and County Sanitation District of Los Angeles (CSDLAC) will provide wastewater service to the project area, and Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) would provide natural gas to the proposed project Therefore, the proposed project Is not anticipated to result In a significant impact related to power and natural gas. 17. 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 rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periOdS of California history or prehistory? The proposed project will not potentially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wlidllfe 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 rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate Important examples of the major period of California history or prehistory. As such, there alll no significant impacts to this mandatory finding of significance as a result of this project. D D D [g! b Does the project have impacts that are Individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the Incremental effects of 8 project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
