Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.8 Hydrology and Water QualityMitigation Measures. Implementation of applicable regulatory requirements, incombination with 2005 General Plan and Community Plan policies and actions, would reduceimpacts to a less than significant level. Mitigation is not required.Significance After Mitigation. Impacts would be less than significant withoutmitigation.Impact HYD-3 Development facilitated by the Project would incrementallyincrease the generation of urban pollutants in surface runoff.Point and non-point sources of contamination could affectwater quality in the Santa Clara River, Franklin and Brownbarrancas, and groundwater. However, implementation ofexisting regulatory requirements, and 2005 General Plan andCommunity Plan policies and actions, would reduce impactsto a Class III, less than significant, level.The Community Plan includes the following policy and actions aimed at minimizing impacts tothe local storm drain system as well as surface and groundwater quality:Planning Principle 11Refer to HYD-2.Policy 11AAction 11-1.6Action 11-1.7Policy 11IRefer to HYD-2.Refer to HYD-2.Refer to HYD-2.Continue to preserve agricultural uses in the City’s Sphere of Influenceand as identified in the greenbelt agreement between the City of Venturaand Santa Paula, and require new development of provide all necessarybuffers.Action 11.3.27 Require new development to utilize low impact and green designtechniques to treat stormwater and mitigate air quality and urban heatisland effects.Action 11.3.28 Refer to HYD-2.Action 11.3.29 Refer to HYD-2.Action 11.4.2Chapter 11.5Develop street standards that emphasize the safe and sufficient movementof vehicles, pedestrian safety, streetscapes, and compatibility withadjoining urban features and incorporate naturalistic ‘green street’ designelements into the streetscape to minimize impacts to the naturalenvironment.California planning guidelines define sustainable development as anintegrated, systems approach to development, which attempts to maximize4.8-11City of Ventura
Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.8 Hydrology and Water Qualitythe efficient and effective long-range management of land, community, andresources (State of California, General Plan Guidelines 2003). A sufficientwater supply, an effective waste water treatment system, and an efficientdrainage system are vital components of a community’s well being. It iswthe responsibility of the City to ensure that growth does not outpace theability to provide adequate public facilities and services. In addition totraditional infrastructure systems, the City recognizes the values of“natural infrastructure” systems including healthy soils, vegetation, andwatersheds. With this plan, the City will strive to continue to advancesustainable planning and design practices to minimize the impacts ofdevelopment on natural systems and processes. The City of Ventura willincorporate practices for integrating watershed protection, water resourcemanagement, and land use planning to enable a “sustainable urbanism”.Policy 11LAction 11.5.1Action 11.5.2Refer to HYD-2.Refer to HYD-2.Refer to HYD-2.Open Space Strategy 12 Create multi-functional parks and open space that serveindividuals, the community, and the environment.Policy 11NRefer to HYD-2.Action 11.6.11 Refer to HYD-2.Action 11.6.12 Refer to HYD-2.The Community Plan further augments the local drain system as well as surface and groundwaterquality with a discussion on page 11-17 directing infill projects to reduce water demand, rechargegroundwater, treat and retain runoff, and decrease flood risks.Water quality impacts associated with new development are directly related to specific sitedrainage patterns and stormwater runoff. Development within the Project Area would increasethe amount of impermeable surface over current conditions. Most areas within the Project Areathat are proposed for new development are largely comprised of undeveloped, permeablesurfaces. Development of these areas would place impervious surfaces, such as commercial andresidential structures, parking lots, walkways, roadways, and other paved areas within theseareas. These surfaces would increase the amount of runoff following storm events.As rainwater passes overland, contaminants become suspended within the flow. In particular,stormwater runoff from landscaped areas, roadways and parking lots contains variouspollutants associated with motor vehicles, including petroleum compounds, heavy metals,asbestos, and rubber, as well as, fertilizers and pesticides from landscaped areas. During stormevents, these pollutants are transported into drainage systems by surface runoff. The pavementof individual sites reduces the amount of exposed, erodable dirt, resulting in a reduction insediment loading. With no prior treatment of stormwater runoff, any pollutants retained from4.8-12City of Ventura
