THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, the PDD, TPM and TTM applications are considered a project under the
guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An initial study was
conducted on the site analyzing the project which concluded that there were aspects of
the project that may cause a significant impact on the environment. A draft mitigated
negative declaration (DMND) was proposed and a 20-day public review period for the
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (DMND) was held beginning on April 17, 2014 and
ending on May 6, 2014. No comments were received that would require modification or
recirculation of the DMND. Mitigation measures that would reduce the significant
impacts to a less than significant level have been proposed and are hereby imposed as
part of project approval. The City Council hereby adopts the mitigated negative
declaration as an adequate analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed
project.
SECTION 2: Tentative Tract Map and Tentative Parcel Man Findings.
Findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to Section 66474 of the
Subdivision Map Act. These findings and a discussion of the project as it relates to
these findings follow:
Resolution No. 23660
Page 3
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map and Tentative Parcel Map are
consistent with all applicable general and specific plans.
The project was reviewed for conformity with the General Plan as follows:
General Plan Policy CD5.2 "When new residential structures are
developed in existing neighborhoods with established uniform or
consistent non-conforming setbacks, allow the setbacks of new structures
to be consistent with those of the existing surrounding development'.
The proposed development is not consistent with many of the existing setbacks of the
surrounding neighborhood. The Planning Commission imposed conditions for
enhanced landscaping at the perimeter of the project to buffer the surrounding
community from the development. With this condition, the Planning Commission
determined that this inconsistency to be adequately mitigated.
Policy CD 14.4 "Prevent long monotonous walls and fencing through
undulation, modulation, surface articulation and landscaping.
Perimeter walls appear consistent with this policy.
Policy CD 14.5: Limit heights of walls and fencing and encourage the use
of wall breaks and transparent fences to protect views.
It does not appear that the perimeter walls incorporate breaks or open fence sections,
however the Planning Commission conditioned the project for more undulation and
enhanced landscaping on the outer side of the perimeter walls.
Policy CD 14.6: Prohibit gated community entries and perimeter walls
around entire neighborhoods. Instead, provide privacy through design
features such as meandering streets, ample landscaping, and house
placement that provides privacy and exclusivity.
The proposed gated development does not conform to this General Plan policy. The
Planning Commission concluded that with its condition for enhanced landscaping, more
undulation and variety in the perimeter walls, and pedestrian entry doors at all single
family units backing onto public streets, the project can be deemed consistent with this
finding.
Policy CD.22.1; Require new and infill development to be of compatible
scale, materials, and massing as existing development. Also ensure that
the design character of the new development is appropriate to the area.
The proposed development is of a similar scale to the development to the north, but
does not relate as well in scale to the existing development to the west, east and south.
Resolution No. 23660
Page 4
As noted above, the Planning Commission's conditions of approval provided sufficient
buffer that these inconsistencies in scale could be deemed adequately mitigated.
Policy CD.22.7 Ensure that residential communities are well connected
with each other and with nearby commercial uses through the inclusion of
pedestrian and bicycle friendly design feature such as trails, paths, and
pedestrian oriented streets in the neighborhood's design.
As noted above, the Planning Commission's conditions for added pedestrian gates and
connectivity to the public streets would render the project consistent with this policy
"...Private streets provide access to individual parcels of land in planned
development communities approved with privately maintained access.
Private streets in any residential or mixed use land use designation may
be reduced to a minimum of 28 feet (curb face to curb face) provided that
(1) additional off-street parking is provided as determined by the City
Engineer, the Fire Chief and Director of Planning, (2) rolled or wedge curb
is provided such that vehicles may park partially out of the traveled way,
and (3) pedestrian paths or sidewalks, if located along the street, ,
separated from the curb by a minimum five-foot parkway are provided."
The project does not conform to this General Plan policy. The Planning Commission's
condition that the roadways be revised to this standard would render the project
consistent with this policy.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map and
Tentative Parcel Map are consistent with the zone in which the property is
located.
The existing zoning is a PD that closely aligns with the R-2 zone standards. The project
PDD proposes a set of development standards and design details with smaller lots and
setbacks than would otherwise be required in similar zones such as R-2. The overall
density is less than the maximum allowable for the zone and the average lot size is
smaller than required by the zone. The applicant is seeking approval of the PDD,
proposing to modify the development standards for the single family product. With the
approval of the PDD and the Planning Commission's condition limiting structures to two
stories, the project could be deemed consistent with this finding
c. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is flat and is located in an area with all urban services and utilities,
including streets. The project proposes 72 single family residential dwelling units on
individual lots with private streets and private common open space and 114 multi-family
units arranged in 19 buildings scattered across four lots of varying size. The project is
Resolution No. 23660
Page 5
surrounded by similar residential uses, including other single family residences on
estate sized lots as well as condominium units and a commercial retail center. The site
has adequate vehicular access to the public streets; Baristo Road on the south and
Louella Drive on the north. A condition is included requiring adequate vehicular turn-
around at the gates as well as other traffic-related conditions are recommended. The
segment of Louella south of Tahquitz Canyon Way is a private street and the project
would require a reciprocal access agreement to provide legal access to the public
thoroughfare of Tahquitz Canyon Way. With the aforementioned agreement and
conditions, the site is physically suited for this type of development and is proposed with
adequate access to the network of public streets.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The project proposes an overall site density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre. The
underlying PD zoning which most closely compares to the R-2 zone allows up to 15
dwelling units per acre and the General Plan land use designation of Medium Density
Residential has the same density limits. The site abuts improved public streets with
existing utilities and with right of way widths that are projected in the City's 2007 General
Plan update to operate at normal levels of service (LOS). The project conforms to this
finding. The project conforms to this finding.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage
or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that with implementation of proposed
mitigation measures, any environmental impacts regarding project construction effects on
air quality, and noise will be reduced to a level that is less than significant. There is no
known wildlife habitat in the vicinity of the project site.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The design of the proposed subdivision includes connections to all public utilities including
water and sewer systems. The layout of internal private streets provides access to each
lot. With the approval of the PDD, the residential uses proposed would be found to be
consistent with the General Plan with the exception of building height for the single family
units. The subdivision is proposed with sidewalks along one side of the private streets
within the development. The Planning Commission condition requiring conformance with
General Plan street widths would render the project consistent with this finding.
g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the
property within the proposed subdivision.
There are no known public easements across the subject property; therefore the design of
Resolution No. 23660
Page 6
the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property.
Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council hereby approves Cases TTM 36689 / TPM 36767 a tentative parcel map
proposing a two-lot subdivision for financing purposes, and a tentative tract map
subdividing the site for the development of 72 single family residential units on individual
lots, 114 multi-family units in 19, 6-unit buildings on four lots, private streets and open
space on a roughly 24-acre site located at the southeast corner of East Tahquitz
Canyon Way and South Farrell Drive, subject to the conditions of approval set forth in
