EN 2 (Rev. 12/82) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 1. The project involves the development of a 6.5 acre neighborhood park on land dedicated to the City by the developer of the surrounding housing development. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the entire development of the subdivision. The development of the park is in the design phase. The park will include a walkway, turf, landscaping, picnic tables and benches, trash receptacles, drinking fountain, irrigation system, drainage channel, and a tot lot with play equipment. Actual construction is estimated to begin at the end of calendar year 1987. Care will be taken to ensure that adequate screening is provided for surrounding residences that does not block views from these residences. The plant material will be native and drought tolerant, where appropriate. Current planted slopes will not be touched. Noise impacts will be considered when locating and designing fields and play equipment. Development of the park should not increase vehicular traffic, as the park is within walking distance of the residents it is intended to serve, and there will be no on-site parking. 2. As noted in the photographs attached to the oversize plan of the site, there is no current land use on the site. The developer graded the site and dedicated the property to the City to be used as a park. The San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) Company has a 250 foot wide easement running through the site and a transmission tower on-site and the Otay Water District has a l0 foot wide easement running parallel to the SDG&E easement. The La Nacion Fault runs through the northeast section of the property. There are single family homes to the east and west of the site and open space to the north and south. The park is adjacent to a major street (East "J" Street) and is served by the local bus system. As a condition of approval of the tentative subdivision map for the E1 Rancho Del Rey Unit 6 development, the developer was required to transplant all substantial individual plants of snake cholla and coast barrel cactus to open space, under the supervision of a qualified botanist, prior to any clearing or grading of the entire subdivision site. The developer was also required to have a paleontologist monitor present during grading of the entire subdivision site to recover any fossil remains that might have been found. The air quality is good, with ocean breezes coming in daily from the west. Water will be brought in for irrigation. There is some water runoff from the surrounding area which enters the existing channel. The channel is above ground on the park, lined with fossil rock brought to the site. 3. The proposed project will change the site from a disturbed natural site to parkland, with introduced plant material, turf, play equipment and park fixtures. The park will increase the acreage of parkland in the City, which is beneficial to the community. No significant natural or cultural resources are present due to previous action by the developer. The aesthetics of the site will be improved. Traffic should not increase substantially since the park is within walking distance of the affected residents. The park will use a large amount of water, however, drought tolerant landscaping material will be used wherever possible. Air quality should not be affected. Noise levels will increase, but with strategic placement of shrubs and play equipment, the impact should not be substantial.

The park site was dedicated to the City by the developer, E1 Rancho del Rey Corporation, for the surrounding housing development, Chula Vista Tract 80-5 E1 Rancho del Rey 6, in May 1983. The park property was not subject to the relocation assistance act as there were no persons living on the property or businesses being con- ducted. ATTORNEY DATE EXHIBIT A MMMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING -- NPS/I/4CF GRANTS APPLICANT: City of Chula Vista PROJECT(S): E1 Rancho del Rey #6 Park I have determined that the Applicant's I/4CF acquisition and/or development project(s) will not adversely affect cultural properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. %his determination is contingent upon the Applicant's concurrence that any plans for development, not to exclude minor improvements involving ground disturbance, will be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Officer for · review and comment at the earliest opportunity. In the event that development plans will not be formulated and/or implemented by the Applicant but by another agency or group, the Applicant will assume the responsbility for ensuring that all provisions and stipulations contained herein are excuted, as needed, jointly with that agency or group or independently by that agency or group. This determination is further contingent upon the Applicant's commitment to implement in good faith the following program of compliance with 36 CFR 800, Executive Order 11593, and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended: 1. The Applicant accepts the premise that proper cultural resource identification, evaluation, and management will be an integral part of the planning process for the project(s). 2. Accordingly, prior to the commencement of any physical development activity, the Applicant or his designee will arrange to have appropriately qualified professionals perform such investigations as may be necessary to: a. Identify, evaluate, and manage any cultural values located wi~lin the project's potential area of environmental impact that are included in or may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register or Historic Places. (1) If, after consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer, any values not already included in the National Register are determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register, the Applicant or his designee will nominate them to the Register according to established procedures. Nominations shall be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Officer no later than six mon~ls after the adoption of a final development plan. b. Determine, in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer, if and to what extent these values may be adversely affected by planning, development, operation, and maintenance activity. 3~ C. Develop and implement prudent and feasible measures, acceptable to the Applicant or his designee and the State Historic Preservation Officer, capable of either effectively mitigating or avoiding adverse effects on National Register and National Register eligible values. Avoidance and protection will be preferred objectives. However, should discussions indicate that only something less is achievable, that course of action which is likely to cause the least unnecessary damage to these values will proceed. Documentation of compliance with each of these stipulations as needed will be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Officer for review and comment in timely fashion. The Applicant or his designee will unilaterally determine the time most suitable for the commencement of cultural resource investigations acknowledging, however, that: 1. They will constitute a part of the planning process providing data for sound, advance planning decisions. 2. They will be completed before a final development plan is adopted and any physical activity begins. Failure to comply with any of the provisions and stipulations herein contained shall constitute grounds for revocation of a no adverse effect determination and shall require full Application compliance with the Advisory Council procedures.
