C-91-20, VARIANCE CASE NO. V-92-4 AND PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN NO. P-91-194 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS EXPLANATIONS/MITIGATION DISCUSSION III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL 1.a. Grading hnd compaction of the soil will occur as a result of construction activities on a currently vacant lot. 2.a. Fugitive dust from construction equipment and activities may be generated by the project. 3.b. Absorption rates and drainage patterns may be altered due to substantial paving and construction of structures on the property. 6.a. construction equipment and activities may cause an increase in ambient noise levels. The proposed batting cage facility may also increase noise levels due to ball ejection equipment and facility users. 8. a. Q. The proposed batting cage facility will be constructed on an undeveloped vacant lot. The current zone designation of the parcel, Central Business District (CBD) does not permit the proposed use. The City is initiating a zone change from CBD t-3 Restricted Commercial (C2) for all CBD parcels south of Foothill Boulevard between San Gabriel and Louise Avenue. That area includes the subject property. The C2 zone designation will be consistent with the type of commercial development desired for that area. Also, the proposed batting cages would be conditionally permitted within the C2 zone. A conditional use permit has also been submitted for the proposed use. 13.a.&b. The proposed use will involve increased demands on traffic patterns and parking areas. The existing circulation system and proposed off-street parking appears adequate to handle these increases. 19. This commercial batting cage facility will increase by one (1) the number of private recreational opportunities available within the community.

Both grading and drainage plans shall be submitted for review by the City Engineer. 2.a. The construction site shall be required to be watered down to eliminate fugitive dust. 3.b. Both grading and drainage plans shall be submitted for review by the City Engineer. 6.a. All construction and batting cage activities shall comply with the Azusa Noise Ordinance (Chapter 8.58 of the Azusa Municipal Code). The property is a corner lot with no adjacent residential uses. Concrete block wall provided on the south and west property lines should reduce noise heard from surrounding residential neighborhoods. 13.b. If provided parking does not meet demand then the vacant parcel to the south shall be developed to provide additional parking. A parking study shall be conducted at the end of six months to evaluate existing conditions. Reference is also hereby made to all other Environmental Impact Reports which have been prepared for projects within the City of Azusa Por additional information and knowledge of existing and future environmental conditions in the area.
