ISSUES OF CONCERN

Planning:
The project submittal identifies the project parcels as 215-020-l 2, 215-020-13, and
215-02 l-04. Parcel number 215-020-l 2 has been re-designated as parcel number 215-
020-22. In addition, it is unclear whether the portion of parcel 215-020-22 North of
Cassia is a part of the project or not. The Site Development Plan drawing shows this
area as within the project boundary. However, the 8X “xl 1 n drawing (for the zone
change and local coastal program amendment) does not include that portion of parcel
22. Please correct and/or clarify this information. (Since this is relevant to the yield
calculation, see also Item 4 below.)
The 8% “xl 1 II drawing provided for the zone change/local coastal program amendment
(identified as 500’ scale) is inconsistent with the Site Development Plan submitted with
regard to the dimensions of the property by a considerable amount. The SDP identifies
the East/West distance at the southern edge of the property as 1,348 feet, and the
North/South distance at the Western edge as 1,641 feet. The 500-foot scale drawing
scales to distances of 1875 feet and 2,275 feet, respectively. Since the two distances
referenced on the SDP plan sheet are consistent with the assessors’ parcel map, we
suggest you check and correct any inaccurate dimensions on the 500-foot scale
drawing.
When the City’s Habitat Management Plan (HMP) receives final approval, the City will
likely initiate a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to change the designation of
any portions of the subject site which are included in the HMP to Open Space.
However, since the site currently has residential General Plan designations (RLM and
RM) staff supports the requested rezoning to RD-M-Q at this time.
The SDP plan sheet indicates that the project includes 47.6 total gross acres and yields
a total of 165.7 dwelling units. Please demonstrate how this yield was determined.
This should include an analysis of the gross and net developable acreages of all areas
within the project boundary by General Plan category (RLM and RM). Since this
analysis necessarily assumed a specific location for the General Plan RLM/RM boundary
line, this line should be shown on your plans. (Note: The location of the General Plan
boundary line should be consistent with its location as identified in the Zone 21 LFMP.)
Staff suggests you provide a table like the one below.

1. Is it your intent to split out the parcel on the East side of El Camino Real (e.g., a
financial parcel map) ? If so, please note that the site will not be developable until a
local facilities management plan for Zone 10 is approved and until any other required
development permits are approved. (The Zone 10 LFMP is currently under review.)
Also, please note that the amount of development allowed on the eastern parcel has
not yet been finally determined. The pending Zone 10 LFMP assumes that the site will
yield approximately 16 units. However, that number may change as constraints
analysis is completed.
