2 NOTICE OF IMPENDING DEVELOPMENT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RUDY HOUSE DEMOLITION PROJECT This Notice of Impending Development is for the demolition of a 3,086 gross square foot, one story, structure on the West Campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara). PROJECT LOCATION: The proposed project is located on the West Campus of UC Santa Barbara southeast of the Orfalea Family Children s Center (OFCC) and adjacent to the Horseboarders Association stables and riding ring. See Attached Project Location Map. Access to the proposed project site is from Slough Road, off Storke and El Colegio Roads to West Campus Point Lane and through a small paved road south of the OFCC. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Background: The Rudy House was originally constructed in 1945 as part of the Campbell Ranch. It is surmised that the ranch-style building was occupied by the Campbell Ranch staff- the ranch hand -and later after the University purchased the property in 1967 by visiting Faculty. The building is severely dilapidated and has remained unoccupied for the last five to ten years. It is a singlestory wood frame (Type 5 construction) with stucco siding and asphalt-shingled roof structure. Purpose and Need: The University has determined that the building is dilapidated and contains asbestos and lead based paint. It is a public safety hazard and the building is at the end of its useful life. The University is proposing to demolish the building to remove the public safety hazard and reduce the costs associated with maintaining an unoccupied residence. Setting and Program: The Rudy House is located on the West Campus. There is one mature eucalyptus tree and one mature palm tree adjacent to the residence and some other ornamental vegetation (see attached photo of Rudy House and surroundings). The trees are located within 10 or 20 feet of the house structure and will be retained. No vegetation would be removed. The house is approximately 3,086 gross square feet (GSF) and 20 feet high. Asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint have been identified in the building. There is an abandoned septic system which has not been used in many years which will be left abandoned in place. A small amount of ornamental landscaping/planting around the immediate premises of the house. The 2010 LRDP land use designation for the site is Academic and Support. The total proposed project area of disturbance is approximately 13,000 square feet (0.30 acres). 1

3 Demolition and Construction: The proposed demolition of the Rudy House would remove the structure, raised foundation, and fence. Construction fencing will be placed around the site during demolition. In accordance with all regulatory requirements, the building will be abated of asbestos before general demolition operations begin. The remaining house structure would be dismantled and any useful materials (e.g. lumber, plumbing, masonry, etc.) would be salvaged for re-use or re-purposing on other University projects. Depending on selection of demolition contractor, all remaining debris may be either be recycled/salvaged or placed in a roll-off container and disposed offsite at the Tajiguas Landfill. There will be one roll-off of non-friable, non-hazardous asbestos waste that will go to Tajiguas. The rest of the waste will be commingled lead and construction debris that, when a composite sample is taken, will be below thresholds and will go out as trash-also to Tajiguas Landfill via Marborg Industries waste disposal company. The estimated amount of debris will be approximately 600 cubic yards of material plus 154 linear feet of concrete (from footings). The disposal will require approximately 15 dump truck trips to an appropriate landfill/recycle facility. The disturbed/exposed soil areas would be mulched after completion of the demolition and debris clean-up. The site would be left undeveloped. No new development (including landscaping or paving) is planned for the project site area at this time. Water Quality Control Measures. Best management practices would be installed in order to keep demolition debris from migrating off site during a rain event. The project site would be mulched upon demolition to be consistent with the surrounding area under the eucalyptus trees and would remain pervious. The project site would be watered for dust control as necessary. Since the project is short term (one month) water quality and dust impacts are not anticipated. Best Management Practices for sediment and erosion control would be implemented in accordance with any approved storm water runoff regulations. Standard BMPs would be implemented such as the use of crushed stone for sediment filtration devices at access ways, gravel bags, straw wattles (or fiber rolls) and sediment fencing. Temporary mulching would be applied post demolition. Gravel bags and wattles will be left in place post demolition until the site naturalizes and through the rain season. Schedule: Demolition and disposal of the Rudy House structure would commence in the January 2019 and take approximately one month to complete. Procedures: A public notice regarding the submittal of this Notice of Impending Development has been mailed to local governments, community groups, and interested parties pursuant to California Code of Regulation Section The public notice and a list of interested parties is included in Appendix F. Section of the Coastal Act and Article 14, Section through Section of the California Code of Regulations govern the Coastal Commission s review of subsequent development where there is a certified LRDP. Section 13549(B) requires the Executive Director or his designee to review the Notice of Impending Development within ten days of receipt and determine whether it provides sufficient information to determine if the proposed development is consistent with the certified LRDP. The Notice is deemed filed when all necessary supporting information has been received. 2

4 Within thirty days of filing the Notice of Impending Development, the Executive Director shall report to the Commission and make a recommendation regarding the consistency of the proposed development with the certified LRDP. After a public hearing, by a majority of its members present, the Commission shall determine whether the development is consistent with the certified LRDP and whether conditions are required to bring it into conformance with the LRDP. No construction shall commence until after the Commission votes to render the proposed development consistent with the certified LRDP. A. Environmental Review The project is categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities, subdivision (1)(1) demolition and removal of a small structure designed for single family. None of the exceptions in Section apply. A Notice of Exemption was prepared for the proposed project (see NOE in Appendix E). The list of interested parties in Appendix F was also notified of the project proposal. Consistency with the LRDP: The project site area land use is designated as Academic and Support and it is generally within a potential development site proposed by the 2010 UCSB Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) (on the southernmost edge). The project is consistent with the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the 2010 UCSB LRDP (UCSB 2008a). The project will not cause any significant impacts and no mitigation is required. See attached LRDP Consistency Table for a detailed consistency analysis. LRDP Policy LU-01 - A&S build-out documentation is attached summarizing the removal of the 3,086 GSF building. There is 3,557,550 remaining available GSF entitlement under the 2010 LRDP (this number is subject to change slightly due to precise math accounting). A. Public Access The LRDP implements Coastal Act through by requiring that new development not generate traffic that exceeds roadway capacity of existing coastal access routes on Campus and therefore restrict or impede coastal access to or along the coast. The LRDP also requires adequate public access parking be provided for new development. The project does not propose new development which generates new traffic or parking over a long term. Roadway capacities would not be exceeded with the temporary addition of construction traffic associated with the demolition. The project would not cause long-term restriction or impedance of existing coastal access routes, nor would public parking be needed. Temporary construction fencing would be placed around the demolition area. Coastal access would not be affected by the project. B. Recreation In accordance with Coastal Act through 30224, the project would not impact the use of oceanfront land for recreation and would not include any development that would impact water- 3

5 oriented recreational uses. The Campus beaches would remain open to the public. The proposed project would not limit recreational use of oceanfront land. C. Marine Environment Coastal Act provides for protection and enhancement of marine resources. The project does not propose changes to or the use of marine resources. Coastal Act provides for the maintenance of biological productivity and water quality through wastewater treatment, control of runoff/surface flow, and protection of riparian buffers/areas. There would be no increase in runoff or riparian alterations associated with the demolition. Coastal Act requires protection against spillage of hazardous substances. The project will include appropriate control strategies associated with the demolition and disposal of all materials. The Asbestos and Pb(Lead) Coordinator at UCSB Design and Construction Services would select the appropriate control strategy for disposal of materials1. There would be no significant impacts. D. Land Resources Coastal Act 30240(a) requires protection of ESHA s from disruption by adjacent development. The proposed demolition would remove a structure which is adjacent to the ESHA in the Devereux Slough. The demolition would not cause any significant disruption of habitat values. The project does not propose new development adjacent to ESHA in accordance with Coastal Act 30240(b). The removal of the Rudy House would be compatible with maintaining the quality of ESHA and park/recreational use. Coastal Act requires reasonable mitigation measures for development projects which would adversely impact archaeological or paleontological resources. The site has been previously developed and minimal excavation and grading proposed by the project would not disturb any previously undisturbed ground. Therefore, the project would not impact archeological or paleontological resources. The Rudy House is approximately 79 years old and is not a historic resource because no evidence of famous architects, visitors, owners, or events has been linked to the structure. E. New Development The LRDP contains land use designations, development guidelines, and policies to ensure the location of new development will not adversely affect coastal resources, as specified in and The project would remove a structure from an area that is part of an important coastal resource; potentially improving scenic views associated with the Devereux Slough. In accordance with 30253(b), the project would stabilize the disturbed area at completion of demolition. The stabilized site area would not contribute significantly to erosion, geologic instability, or destruction of the site or surrounding area. In accordance with 30253(c), the project will be consistent with requirements imposed by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: 1 Ripley, J., personal communication, June 15,

6 This project is considered Categorically Exempt under CEQA Section 15301(l)(1), Existing Facilities demolition and removal of individual small structures/single-family residence. There are no unusual circumstances which would create an exception to the Exemption. All actions will be consistent with applicable federal, state, and local environmental permitting requirements. Aesthetics: The proposed project would remove existing development within the scenic area surrounding eucalyptus trees, the horse stables, and the Devereux Slough North Finger. Removal of the Rudy House structure would reduce the amount of urban development in the area and enhance the natural setting around the West Campus. Agricultural Resources: There are no agricultural resources at the University. Air Quality: The proposed project would be short-term and small-scale. No thresholds of significance have been established for short-term/small-scale projects in the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District. The proposed demolition and site work area is relatively small and will require approximately 15 truck trips to remove debris which would not result in a significant impact on air quality. The project would require minimal grading/ground disturbance to naturalize the site topography. Therefore, no significant impacts would be created from the generation of fugitive dust particles. Asbestos has been identified in the building. The asbestos will be removed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations before demolition. The asbestos will be properly disposed in a facility approved to accept such material. An Asbestos Demolition and Renovation Compliance Checklist and associated notification will be obtained from the SBCAPCD. The project would be subject to inspection by the SBCAPCD. Compliance with these regulatory requirements ensures there would be no impact. Biological Resources: The proposed project is not located in ESHA and would not impact any biological resources. Two mature eucalyptus trees and one Giant Daisy Tree exist within ten feet of the building foundation. All trees would be protected in place. No trees or sensitive habitat would be removed. Cultural Resources: The proposed project includes minor excavation and grading activities on an existing developed site. The affected area would not extend beyond the previously disturbed ground surface which encompasses the structure foundation, driveway and landscaped yards. A previously documented cultural resource boundary (CA-SBA-51) exists approximately 150 feet north of the proposed project (UCSB 2008a). No documented cultural resources exist within the project site. In the event archaeological resources were to be encountered during ground disturbance, all 2010 LRDP policies and mitigations 2 would be followed. The following relevant 2010 LRDP EIR mitigation measures would be incorporated into the design for the project: 2 UCSB Office of Campus Planning & Design, Mitigation Monitoring Program for the University of California Santa Barbara Long Range Development Plan. University of California Santa Barbara. 5

7 The Rudy House is approximately 73 years old and is not a historic resource because no evidence of famous architects, visitors, owners, or events has been linked to the structure. The proposed project would not impact any cultural resources. Geology/Soils: The proposed project would not involve major grading or excavation. Best Management Practices, such as silt fences and erosion control methods, will be in place to avoid sediment/fugitive dust transport off the project site. The removal of existing structure/foundation/driveway and landscaped yard would not impact geological resources. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The project proposes approximately 15 dump truck trips to an appropriate landfill/recycling center and intermittent operation of demolition equipment for approximately 2-3 weeks. Therefore, the project would not create a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions or conflict with an applicable reduction plan. Hazards & Hazardous Materials: The Asbestos and Pb(Lead) Coordinator at UCSB Design and Construction Services (Horstin 2018) would select the appropriate control strategy for disposal of materials 3. There would be no significant impacts. Hydrology/Water Quality: There would be no major site grading or major ground disturbance. The project would remove all impervious surfaces on site; potentially decreasing surface water runoff. The disturbed ground area would be covered with mulch upon project completion. There would be no significant impacts on hydrology or water quality. Land Use/Planning: The proposed project is a building demolition and does not impact the land use designation. There would be no impact to land use planning on the site. Mineral Resources: There would be no impact to mineral resources as a result of the proposed project. Noise: Noise generated from demolition would be temporary and would not cause a significant impact. The project manager will coordinate with the OFCC Staff to time loud demolition work outside of nap time. Population/Housing: The project does not propose any new development which would increase or displace population and housing. One unoccupied single family housing unit would be demolished. There would be no impact to population or housing. Public Services: The project would not impact public services. Recreation: The project would not impact recreational facilities in the area. Transportation/Traffic: Demolition-related traffic would be temporary. The project would not impact circulation. 3 Horstin, G., personal communication, October

8 Utilities/Service Systems: All existing utilities that serve the house would be removed. No new utilities or service systems are required. There would be no impact.

14 Updated with Solar LRDP Amendments, March 9, LAND USE COASTAL ACT SECTION GENERAL POLICIES Policy LU-01 - A maximum of 3.6 million gross square feet (GSF) of additional academic and support uses may be developed on the UCSB campus where designated on Figure D.3, Potential Development Areas, and provided that it is consistent with all other policies and provisions of the LRDP. The University shall maintain a running account of the changes to Academic and Support (A&S) development on campus. The A&S build-out documentation shall summarize the total A&S build-out in gross square feet and account for new A&S structural area, additions to existing A&S structures, demolition of existing A&S structural area, and any other changes that affect the GSF of A&S development. The A&S buildout documentation shall include a running annual total and shall provide the current build-out in relation to the Academic and Support baseline. The baseline shall be the total build-out of A&S campus-wide as of the date of certification of the 2010 LRDP. The A&S build-out documentation shall be submitted with each NOID or Exemption Request that adds or removes A&S build-out. Any new structures on lands designated as Recreation or Open Space shall also count toward the A&S development cap. Solar energy systems, such as solar panels, on rooftops shall not be counted toward the A&S development cap. Policy LU-02 - New housing units sufficient to accommodate up to 5,000 additional student bed spaces (including up to 240 student-family units) and a maximum of 1,874 additional faculty and staff housing units over the housing baseline may be cumulatively constructed on Main, Storke, and West Campuses where designated on Figure D.3 and provided that it is consistent with the site-specific build-out parameters identified for each housing development and all other policies and provisions of the LRDP. Consistent. A&S build-out documentation is attached summarizing the removal of the 3,086 GSF building. There is 3,557,550 remaining available GSF entitlement under the 2010 LRDP (this number is subject to change slightly due to precise math accounting). Not relevant. The Rudy House is not included in baseline housing square feet and is not part of the UC Housing program. Rudy House was used occasionally to house visiting faculty but has not been used for over 10 years. New housing shall be consistent with the following maximum build-out parameters for each housing type, which shall be calculated over and above the housing baseline: a total of 2.82 million gross square feet (GSF) of faculty and staff housing, up to 1.77 million new GSF of housing units to accommodate 4,760 student bed spaces, and a maximum of 360,000 GSF of student family housing campus- 2

15 Updated with Solar LRDP Amendments, March 9, wide. Each housing project may also be assigned an additional 15% GSF (over and above the housing unit caps above) to serve ancillary residential or nonresidential uses; where identified, Academic & Support GSF on Housing sites has a separate cap which will count towards the overall A & S development cap. The University shall maintain a running account of the housing development on campus corresponding to the three categories described above (faculty and staff, individual students, and student-family housing). The housing build-out documentation shall summarize the total housing build-out in gross square feet, number of units/bed spaces, number of units serving each resident type, and the location. In addition, the build-out documentation shall account for new housing structural area, additions to existing housing structures, demolition of existing housing structural area, and any other changes that affect the GSF of housing development. The housing build-out documentation shall include a running total and shall provide the current build-out in relation to the Housing baseline. The baseline shall be the total build-out of housing campuswide as of the date of certification of the 2010 LRDP (Sierra Madre and North Campus Faculty Housing are under construction and shall be considered part of the baseline). The housing build-out documentation shall be submitted with each NOID or Exemption Request that adds or removes housing build-out. Policy LU-2.1 UCSB shall by July 1 st each year provide to the Executive Director and post to the UCSB website a report on its enrollment numbers for oncampus/three-quarter average student population. In this report the Campus will track the growth of the campus from July 2015 to the current reporting year including the percentage change in population over the prior year. If the student population reaches 24,500 (as defined above) prior to November 2025, the campus will include in the report, the measures that the University will take to conform enrollment to the 25,000 student target in November Policy LU-03 - To provide flexibility to address future planning needs and with the exception of the West Campus Mesa and Devereux sites described in Policies LU-32 and LU-31 respectively, all housing sites have the ability to exceed the estimated number of units or beds by up to ten (10) percent without requiring a 3 Not relevant.
