Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.9 Land Use and PlanningState Fire Code and the Uniform Building Code (UBC). Within Section 4.8, Hydrology and WaterQuality, flood hazard impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level with complianceto the Flood Plain Ordinance and the 2005 General Plan, in combination with implementation ofCommunity Plan policies and actions. Impacts as a result of flooding in areas of potentialdevelopment facilitated under the Project. The Project generally would not aversely affect areasof particular biological or ecological value, as discussed in Section 4.4, Biology. Noise and thereduction of noise are addressed in Section 4.11, Noise.Growth Management Policies Related to the RCPG Goal to Provide Social, Political, andCultural Equity. Goals to develop urban forms that avoid economic and social polarizationspromotes the regional strategic goal of minimizing social and geographic disparities and ofreaching equity among all segments of society.3.24 Encourage efforts of local jurisdictions in the implementation of programs thatincrease the supply and quality of housing and provide affordable housing asevaluated in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment.The Project is intended to guide development for the Saticoy and Wells communities. Withfuture buildout under the Project, development would add additional housing the City ofVentura housing stock. The Project would increase both the supply and quality of housing inthe Project Area. The Project could therefore be found to be consistent with RCPG Policy 3.24.Air Quality Chapter. Air Quality goals related to the proposed Community Plan includethe following.5.07 Determine specific programs and associated actions needed (e.g., indirect sourcerules, enhanced use of telecommunications, provision of community based shuttleservices, provision of demand management based programs, or vehicle-milestraveled/emissionfees) so that options to command and control regulations canbe assessed5.11 Through the environmental document review process, ensure that plans at alllevels of government (regional, air basin, county, subregional, and local) considerair quality, land use, transportation, and economic relationships to ensureconsistency and minimize conflicts.The air quality chapter policies relate to identification of programs and actions to reduce airpollutant emissions and ensuring that environmental documents consider air quality andrelated issues. As discussed in Section 4.3, Air Quality, the City’s Air Quality Ordinance(Ordinance 93-37) requires developers of projects that generate emissions exceeding VCAPCDsignificance thresholds to pay air quality impact fees that are placed in an air quality mitigationfund that is used to offset project emissions through implementation of regional air qualityprograms. The EIR analyzes the Project’s air quality impacts (see Section 4.3, Air Quality) aswell as related impacts in the areas of traffic (see Section 4.15, Traffic and Circulation).Open Space and Conservation Chapter. Goals related to the proposed specific plan includethe following.4.9-11City of Ventura
Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.9 Land Use and Planning9.01 Provide adequate land resources to meet the outdoor recreation needs of thepresent and future residents in the region.9.02 Increase the accessibility to open space lands for outdoor recreation.9.03 Promote self sustaining regional recreation resources and facilities.9.04 Maintain open space for adequate protection to lives and properties againstnatural and manmade hazards.9.05 Minimize potentially hazardous developments in hillsides, canyons, areassusceptible to flooding, earthquakes, wildfire, and other known hazards, and areaswith limited access for emergency equipments.9.08 Develop well managed viable ecosystems or known habitats of rare, threatenedand endangered species, including wetlands.Open space and conservation policies relate to the provision of adequate land for outdoorrecreation, maintenance of open space to guard against natural disasters, and the developmentof well-managed ecosystems. While development under the Project would designate currentlyundeveloped sites for more urban use, the Project would provide green space, including parksand a preserve around the Brown Barranca. In addition, the applicants would be required topay recreation fees consistent with City ordinance for each potential development project’scontribution to the development of citywide parks (see Section 4.13, Public Services). Moreover,the Project Area is not subject to any natural hazards that cannot be avoided throughimplementation of proposed mitigation measures, while the Project calls for the preservation ofmost of the disturbed riparian corridor that crosses through the site as well as restoration of thecorridor and revegetation with native plantings (see Section 4.4, Biology). As such, the proposedProject could be found to be consistent with applicable open space and conservation policies.Water Quality Chapter Recommendations and Polity Options. Goals related to the proposedspecific plan include the following.11.02 Encourage “watershed management” programs and strategies, recognizing theprimary role of local governments in such efforts.11.07 Encourage water reclamation throughout the region where t is cost-effective,feasible, and appropriate to reduce reliance on imported water and wastewaterdischarges. Current administrative impediments to increased use of wastewatershould be addressed.Water quality policies are aimed at the development of watershed management programs andencouraging water reclamation where feasible. The proposed Community Plan incorporates anumber of policies and actions (see Section 4.4, Biology) that involve improvements/enhancements to the local watersheds, including the Brown and Franklin barrancas and theSanta Clara River. Future development would be required to implement improvements such asinfiltration swales, biofilters, pervious pavements, and stormwater detention. In addition,projects would be required to be designed to control runoff in a manner that would reduce4.9-12City of Ventura
