This project will result in continued provision of social services �• for senior citizens. There will be no change in the natural or man made environment. There will be a continued beneficial social impact . L. Treatment of Environmental Impacts The project will have a beneficial impact, therefore no changes in the project are necessary to eliminate or minimize adverse � environmental impacts . M. Alternatives to the Project . The alternative projects listed below were not selected for funding because they would not enhance environmental qualities as much as those projects chosen to be undertaken. Projects to be funded which will improve public facilities and services include the removal of architectural barriers , the reconstruction of curbs , gutters and sidewalks , the installation of a storm drain , and the development and landscaping of park sites . These projects will benefit traffic circulation , pedestrian mobility and drainage control as well as contributing to the aesthetic environment of , the community. Other projects to be undertaken include the • acquisition /spot clearance of deteriorating structures and the rehabilitation of existing housing. These projects should help eliminate substandard structures and assist in the maintenance of attractive well planned neighborhoods . , Alternative Projects Not Selected 1. YMCA/BOys Club Site Acquisition , 2. Lighting of Loma Verde Sports Field 3 . Norman Park Center Conference Room 9 . Starlight Center Room Addition , 5. Otay Park Service Center 6 . Teen Center - Harborside School 7. Acquisition of Our House - Youth Services Center B. Nutritional Program for Senior Citizens No Project � Since a higher quality living environment will result from the undertaking of the projects to be funded , tre implementation of no project has been rejected. The projects selected will not • create adverse environmental effects but rather enhance the overall environmental setting . Therefore the implementation of these , projects is more desirable than the alternative of "NOt Project" . ; � . _ . _ .. . . .. . _ _' __ • —t, i . � '.__ ._'_' ei.. r ' �. N. Conditions & Safeguards � The project will have a beneficial impact , therefore no conditions • or safeguards are necessary . O. Level of Clearing Findings FINDING: A request to HUD for release of funds for the project which is not an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and no EIS is required . The reasons supporting the above finding are : 1 . The project involves the continued operation of an existing senior citizens service facility. There will be no change or impact on the natural or man made environment. There are no ' unique physical features or processes near the project site nor will there be any increased emission of any hazardous substances either directly or indirectly which could curtail the range of the human environment. 2. The project conforms to the long range goals of the City of Chula Vista, therefore the attainment of short term goals . will not preclude the attainment of long range goals . • 3 . No families will be displaced due to this acquisition. The project �vill enhance the human environment, not detract from the quality of life . , 4 . The project does not relate in any way that could produce interaction resulting in a _significant impact on the human - environment. • . , ' �. . � . . . � NOTICG OI' FINDINC or r,o SIGNIF7C�N'I' fiPi'�CT ov Tiir i:uvinounr,�+r . . .

Project Data This project, located to the west of Broadway (Census Tract 126) will conclude the development of a neighborhood park begun in the first program year in conjunction cvith an existing elementary school. It will include grading , contouring , planting of trees , turf, shrubs and ground covers and the amount of the site to be developed will ' be approximately two acres . The project has been allocated $33 , 000 • and will be concluded before May 31 , 1977 . C. Existing Environmental Conditions and Trends This project involves part of the biueller Elementary School site in � an urbanized area of Chula Vista . The land uses in the area include mobile home parks , apartments and single family dwellings . Just to the west of the site is a drainage channel , railroad tracks and Interstate Route 5 . Being an urbanized area, there are no significant natural features � on or near the site . There are no natural hazards such as geological hazards , soil conditions or flood plains . The site is subject to possible noise impact and air quality problems due to the proximity to I-5. However , the freeway is depressed_ and there is no line of sight exposure to the traffic noise . The � current and projected noise level is under 65 dBA. There is currently no violation of carbon monoside air quality standards in the South Bay area and futiure ambient levels are projected to decline. • See attachment nl for a general description of the Chula Vista environmental setting .

Alternative to the Project The alternative projects listed below were not selected for funding because they �vould not enhance environmental qualities as much as those projects chosen L-o be undertaken. Projects to be funded which will improve puUlic faciliLies and services include the removal of architectural barriers , the reconstruction of curbs, gutters and sidewalks , the installation of a storm drain, and the development and landscaping oi park sites . These � projects will benefit tra�fic circulation , pedestrian mobility and drai.nage control as �•�ell as contributing to the aesthetic environment of the community . Other projects to be undertaken � include the acquisition/spot clearance of deteriorating structures an3 the rehabilitntion of existing i�ousing .

Project Data • Building Surveys and Inspections (ERR-76-S) The City is undertaking a systematic survey of its existing housing stock for current and future planning as it relates to building and housing condition trends , etc . Surveys and inspections to date have been concentrated in the older sections of the City (Census Tracts 123 & 125) , but will expand into other areas of the City in the ' future. No relocation activity is expected to occur under this program which runs through May , 1977 . Any homeowner cited for Code violations � will be offered financial assistance under the City ' s rehabilitation loan program. - Rehabilitation Loans (ERR-76-9) The City as an adjunct to its Building Surveys and Inspections effort will continue to offer low-cost home improvement loar�s to low and moderate income homeowners with which to rehabilitate their homes. The program is scheduled to run through May, 1977 . It is anticipated that rehab activity will be concentrated in Census Tracts 123 and ' 125 during this program year and loans will total $125 , 000. Loans will be made pursuant to an agreement entered into between the City and a local lender. C.

Environmental Impacts Identified The project will have a beneficial impact on the environment , in that it will solve an existing drainage problem in an urbanized area of Chula Vista which is void of any natural or man made resource or hazard. L. Treatment of Environmental Impacts The project will have a beneficial impact therefore no changes in the project are necessary to eliminate or minimize adverse environmental impacts . M. Alternative to the Project The alternative projects listed below were not selected for funding because they would not enhance environmental qualities as much as those projects chosen to be unclertaken. Projects to be funded which �vill improve public facilities and services include the removal of architectural barriers , the reconstruction , of curbs, gutters and sidewalks , the installation of a storm drain, and the development and landscaping of park sites . These projects will benefit traffic circulation , pedestrian mobility and drainage control as well as contributing to the aesthetic , environment of the community. Other projects to be undertaken include the acquisition/spot clearance of deteriorating structures and the rehabilitation of existing housing . These projects should help eliminate substandard structures and assist in the maintenance of attractive well planned neighborhoods . Alternative Projects Not Selected 1. YMCA/Boys Club Site Acquisition 2. Lighting of Loma Verde Sports Field 3. Norman Park Center Conference Room 9 . Starlight Center Room Addition 5. Otay Park Service Center 6. Teen Center - Harborside School 7 . Acquisition of Our House - Youth Services Center 8. Nutritional Program for Senior Citizens No Project Since a higher quality living environment will result from the undertaking of the projects to be funded , the implementation of , no project has been rejected . The projects selected will not create adverse environmental effects but rather enhance the overall environmental setting. Therefore the implementation of these projects is more desirable than the alternative of "No Project. " r �. ,.� � , N. Conditions 5 Safeguards The project will have a beneficial impact, therefore no conditions or safeguards are necessary. O. Level of Clearing Fi.ndings FINDING: A request to HUD for release of funds for the project which is not an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and no EIS is required. The reasons supporting the above finding are : 1. The project is within the urbanized area of Chula Vista and constitute improvement in the level of service provided by the urban support system for- the residents of the area . There are no unique physical features or processes near the project sist nor will there be any emission of any hazardous substances either directly or indirectly which could curtail the range of the human environment. , 2. The project conforms to the long range goals of the City of Chula Vista , therefore the attainment of short term goals will not preclude the attainment of long range goals . 3. The project will enhance the human environment , not detract from the quality of life. 9 . The project does not relate in any way that could produce interaction resulting in a significant impact on the human environment. , _ , . ' . . � .. � . I� -� I .. - --. _ r. . . - rc -� F� I . ..
