TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 23, 2011
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR VTTM 28214
AND VTTM 30836, ALBERHILL RANCH
Background
In November of 2003, the Alberhill Ranch residential development was processed
through the City Planning Commission and City Council by the Castle & Cooke
Companies. Located on the south side of Lake Street between Mountain Avenue and
Coal Road, this residential development consisted of 1,178 single family residential
units plus potential for two multi-family (for a potential total of 1,612 dwelling units), a
public park, proposed elementary school and a private park. In 2006, at the request of
the developer, condition of approval number 102 for TR 28214 and condition of
approval number 90 for TR 30836 were re-evaluated and modified based on an updated
traffic study. These changes are identified on the attached staff report, Attachment "B",
dated June 13, 2006.
In late 2010 Castle & Cooke along with their development team approached City staff
with a request to re-evaluate the Alberhill Ranch conditions number 102 and 90 for TR
28214 and TR 30816 respectively. Several meetings were held between the City and
the development team to discuss the traffic studies used to support the requested
changes. One of the biggest variables both parties are dealing with are the impacts of
the real estate market conditions. Staff and developer met, analyzed and compared the
traffic impacts based on recent studies to their corresponding conditions of approval.
Discussion
In December of 2010, a request was submitted to City staff by Castle & Cooke asking to
have condition 102 of TR 28214 and condition 90 of TR 30836 revised. These two
conditions were a product of Traffic Impact Studies used to identify the impacts of the

development on the current circulation system. For the sake of reference, the Alberhill
Ranch Development is located east of Lake Street between Mountain Avenue and
Nichols Rd (formally Coal Rd) and southwest of Nichols Road. The main issues relate
to the timing of improvements required on and associated with Lake Street and on
Nichols Road.
Staff reviewed two Traffic Impact Studies (TIS), the original study completed in 2003
('03TIS) and a 2010 updated study ('10TIS). The '10TIS was submitted by Linscott,
Law & Greenspan as an updated report on the current status of development in the
area and the resulting affect of TR 28214 and TR 30836 on the roadways. Attachment
"C" to this staff report is a detailed summary of the affected conditions, the proposed

SUBJECT: VTTM Nos. 28214 and 30836, and Addendum No. 2 to Final Alberhill Ranch SPEIR
Proposed Lot Size: The proposed 208 single-family detached lots range in size from 5,500 to 11,207 sf.,
with an average lot size of 6,788 sf.
Proposed Roadway Improvements: Regional access to the site will be provided from Nichols Road off

Addendum No. 2 to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR: The City certified the Final
Environmental Impact Report for the original Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan in 1989 (State Clearinghouse
No. 88090517). Addendum No. 1 to the Final Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan EIR was approved by the
City in 1992 which evaluated environmental impacts resulting with Amendment No. 2 to the Alberhill
Ranch Specific Plan which was proposed by Murdock Development. Addendum No. 2 to the Final Alberhill
Ranch Specific Plan FIR has now been prepared to evaluate environmental impacts resulting with
proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 28214 and 30836. The Addendum No. 2 EIR document is
prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and concludes that significant
environmental impacts will not result with implementation of those mitigation measures contained in the
original 1989 Final Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan EIR, 1992 Addendum No. 1 EIR, and proposed
Addendum No. 2 E1R.
Staff supports the requested Vesting Tentative Tract Maps and recommends approval for the following
reasons:
1. The Proposed Vesting Tract Maps Implement Intended Land Uses Designated in the Murdock
Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan: As discussed, the proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Maps are located
within and regulated by the Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan. The Specific Plan intends for those
uses proposed with the Vesting Tract Maps, including detached and attached residential product,
neighborhood commercial uses, a school, parks and recreational facilities, and common open spaces to be
constructed at those specific locations being depicted in the Vesting Tract Maps. The proposed vesting
tract maps represent the first step in implementing the intended land uses for the project sites. The
proposed Vesting Tract Maps do not conflict with the intended land uses and their respective locations,
and standards, objectives, and guidelines contained in the Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
2. The Proposed Vesting Tract Maps Comply With Design Standards Contained in the Murdock
Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan: City Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the proposed Vesting
Tentative Tract Maps and have no concerns, if required conditions of approval and mitigation measures are
satisfied. The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Maps are consistent with development standards
contained in the Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan document in terms of minimum lot sizes, lot
widths and depths, street widths, and other Planning and Engineering standards and requirements. The
Vesting Tentative Tract Maps are consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance and the Subdivision
Map Act.
The Planning Commission was generally supportive of the project and did not express any significant
concerns. A member of the public did inquire about increased traffic along Baker Street and runoff percolation.
The City Engineer responded that the project's proposed roadway improvements ensure that project-generated

SUBJECT: VTTM Nos. 28214 and 30836, and Addendum No. 2 to Final Alberhill Ranch SPEIR
traffic along Baker Street will not be excessive and also indicated that project improvements will properly
convey runoff to the public drainage system. The applicant accepted the Conditions of Approval during the
Planning Commission meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Addendum No. 2 EIR is prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and
sufficiently evaluates impacts resulting with the proposed vesting tentative tract maps and other applicable
issues. The Addendum No. 2 EIR concluded that significant environmental impacts will not result with
implementation of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final EIR, 1992 Addendum No. 1
EIR, and proposed Addendum No. 2 EIR.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following applications:
1. Certify Addendum No. 2 to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report.
2. Approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 28214.
3. Approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 30836.
FINDINGS
Addendum No. 2 To Final Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan EIR
1. The Addendum No. 2 EIR has been prepared, submitted and reviewed in accordance with requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act and the City's CEQA requirements, and are complete and
adequate in its evaluation of all environmental effects of Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 28214 and
30836 and associated discretionary approvals. Vesting Tentative Tract Map Nos. 28214 and 30836 and
associated discretionary approvals will not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts with
implementation of mitigation measures.
2. The proposed vesting tract maps will not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable. Given that project impacts are insignificant, cumulative impacts are not foreseen.
3. The proposed vesting tract maps do not have the potential to adversely affect humans, either directly or
indirectly.
4. The City Council finds that the Addendum No. 2 EIR is complete and adequate and provides appropriate
environmental documentation for the project and fully complies with the requirements of CEQA, the State
CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental clearance procedures.
5. The Addendum No. 2 EIR and the records of the proceedings upon which this decision is based, are and
will be on file with the City of Lake Elsinore, 130 South Main Street, Lake Elsinore, California 92530.

APPLICANT: CASTLE & COOKE ALBERHILL RANCH, INC.,
P.O. BOX 1402
LAKE ELSINORE, CA 92531
REQUEST
■ Approval to modify the using details for certain circulation
improvements required under Condition of Approval No. 102 for Vesting
Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 28214 and Condition of Approval No.
90 for Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 30836 located within the
Murdock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND
At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on May 23, 2006, Staff
presented a request from the Alberhill Ranch Development to modify conditions
of approval number 102 for VTTM 28214 and condition of approval number 90
for VTTM 30836. The City Council requested clarification of the timeline for
implementation of the proposed changes and directed Staff to apply dates certain
for various improvements, as applicable. Staff has met with the Applicant and
submits the following clarification and dates for consideration by the City
Council at this meeting on June 13, 2006.
The item is agendized for Council consideration because Council was the
original approving body for the project. Prior to May 23rd, Staff met with the
Page 34 of 46
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 13, 2006
PAGE 2 OF 6
applicant and reviewed the supporting documentation to the proposal and is in
agreement with the concept of the requested changes.
Both VTTM No. 28214 and VTTM No. 30836 were approved by the City of
Lake Elsinore City Council on January 13, 2004, subject to certain Conditions of
Approval (See Attachment No. 1). Condition of approval No. 102 and condition
of approval no. 90, although on different maps, were identical in substance and
required various on and offsite circulation improvements to be completed in
three (3) separate phases. Phase 1 improvements were required by the 240`h
Certificate of Occupancy ("C of O"); Phase 2 improvements were required by
the 4640' C of O; and Phase 3 improvements were required to be completed by
the 650"' C of O.
DISCUSSION
Included in this request for change to the conditions are some minor refinements
to the original conditions of approval, specifically the need for Traffic Signal
Warrant Studies. As a requirement of the project, signalized intersections at the
Nichols Road and the freeway ramps, and Lake Street and the freeway ramps are
included as off-site improvements. The signal design will require CALTRANS
processing as the locations are completely within CALTRANS right-of-way. As
a policy, the CALTRANS permitting process cannot begin until the
intersection(s) has met one of the criteria warranting a traffic signal and this fact
is the cause of some of the proposed changes. The two most significant
improvements being addressed are the Lake Street/Temescal Canyon Traffic
Signal installation and the construction of the bridge over Temescal Creek and
the subsequent connection to Collier Avenue.
Signalizing the Lake Street intersection at Temescal Canyon Road will benefit
many of the residents as the need for the signal exists today. As written, the
approved condition requires the "intersection improvements" to be completed by
the 240'h C of O. It is proposed that an interim traffic signal be constructed and
functioning at the 240`h C of O while the ultimate alignment of Lake Street is
being designed. This realignment will likely shift the roadway to the west and
shift the intersection further away from the southbound on/off ramps. Once the
realignment of Lake Street is under way, the ultimate intersection with Temescal
Canyon Road will be built concurrently. It is identified that the intersection
improvements be completed by the 650`h C of O.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 13, 2006
PAGE 3 OF 6
Second of the two most significant changes has to do with the constructing the
bridge over Temescal Creek and its subsequent connection with Collier Avenue.
Originally, the conditions required the bridge connection to be completed by the
464th C of O and the applicant is asking that number be revised to the 950'h C of
O or completed by December 31, 2008, which ever comes first. In an effort to
address the concerns of Staff, the applicant is proposing to construct Nichols
Road in its two lane configuration, raise a portion of the roadway to minimize
flooding and utilize the existing creek crossing. This work is proposed to be
completed by April 01, 2007. Concurrently, the project will continue to process
through the Army Corps of Engineers to gain the required permits and move
forward into construction.
Below are the proposed changes. A "strike through" represents the language in
the original condition of approval which is being removed. The "italicized"
language represents the new language to be added:
Phase 1 Improvements
• Lake Street curve alignment improvement north of Coal Road shall have a
minimum design speed of 55 mph and a minimum radius of 1,750 feet and
be completed by 240'h C of O.
• Lake Street and the north/southbound ramps, the improvements shall be
completed by the 240`h 464`h C of O or at such a time that the CALTRANS
signal warrant is satisfied.
• Lake Street and Temescal Canyon Road, interim signalization and
intersection the improvements shall be completed by the 240`" C of O, and
the ultimate intersection improvements by the 650`x' C of O.
• Lake Street and Collector "A", the improvements shall be completed by
the 240`h C of O.
• Lake Street and Mountain Street, the improvements shall be completed by
the 240'h C of-40.

• Nichols Road from Lake Street to Terra Cotta, construct at ultimate half
section by the 464t1i C of O of Phase 2.
• Construct Nichols Road from Terra Cotta Road to Collier Avenue as an
interim 2-lane-d-road inGludiit . To minimize the effects of a
significant flood event, should one occur during this one year extension, a
section of the existing Nichols Road curve west of Collier Avenue
(approximately 400 feet in length) will be raised two (2) feet in elevation
to be completed by April 1, 2007 as identified by the City Engineer. The 2-
lane bridge over Temescal Creek shall be completed by 4 "b°Ali" r'rs-sk
December 31, 2008 or by the tk€ 460 r' A--' 0 of Phaso 2 950`h C of O

• Developer shall work with the City in the event the City proceeds with on
a design prior to the commencement of Developer's Phase 2, to realign
Collier Avenue at Nichols Road to the west away from the freeway
allowing more storage for entry to the freeway ramps.

Re:
Alberhill Ranch GOA revision
The following is a review of each Condition of Approval that the developer of VI-TM 28214 and VTTM
30836 has requested to be changed. For this review, each amended COA was compared to the 2003
Traffic Impact Study ('03TIS) that the original COA's in question were based on (then updated in 2006)
as well as the New TIS ('10TIS) recently submitted by LL&G.
While the two Studies, '03TIS and '10TIS, are similar in their approach to analyzing the future traffic
impacts and required improvements to the local road system, there are some significant differences
that should be noted:
• The'03TIS only breaks the analysis into three (3) phases. These are
o Phase 1 (now completed): 240 D.U. = 2,297 Trips
o Phase 2 (704 D.U.): +464 D.U. + Park = 3,988 Trips
o Phase 3 (1,358 D.U.): 654 D.U. + Retail + School = 15,633 Trips
o Total: 1,358 D.U. + Park + Retail + School = 21,918 Trips
The'10TIS analyzed five (5) phases with Phase 1 above being part of the background volumes.
o Existing: 265 D.U. + Park - Not Analyzed
0 464 D.U.: +198 D.U. =1,475 Trips
0 650 D.U.: +186 D.U + School = 2,877 Trips
0 950 D.U.: +300 D.U. = 2,871 Trips
0 1,191 D.U.: +241 D.U. = 2,049 Trips
0 1,612 D. U.: +421 D.U. 3,618 Trips
o Total: 1,312 D.U. + School = 12,890 Trips + Phase 1 (-3,000 Trips)
• '10TIS removed retail portion of development. This reduced trips by 8,744 trips.
• Baseline (existing) traffic volumes for Lake St. between the 1-15 and Temescal Canyon Rd
increased from 13,200 in'03TIS to 18,650 in'10TIS and from 12,900 to 16,900 between Temescal
Canyon Rd and Nichols Rd. This calculates to a 39% and 31 % total increase or (over 60/o/yr).
Page 41 of 46
• '03TIS used 5% ambient growth over the life of the project while'10TIS proposes using 2.2.%
'10TIS included the diversion of ambient traffic onto Nichols Rd to travel between the 1-15
southbound and Lake Street. The '03TIS did not account for this diversion of outside traffic.
The following is a summary of each of the subject COAs and a review of their proposed changes.
1. Realignment of Lake St. curve -Condition satisfied.
2. Signalize and widen Lake St at the 1-15 ramps by end of phase 1 (240" D.U.)
Proposed: Install signals and fully widen both intersections by 464'h CofO except northbound left
turn lane at southbound ramp to be installed at 1,191th CofO.
Review: The'03TIS indicates the need for a signal at the northbound ramp at the 240"' CofO. The
1 0TIS does not analyze this scenario (what is now the current condition). LL&G should revise their
report to look at current volumes to see if signalization can be deferred to the 460 CofO. The
southbound ramp should be signalized at the same time as the northbound ramp to allow smooth
traffic flows. Widening and installing a northbound left turn lane at the southbound ramp at the
1,191th CofO is consistent with the finding in the'03TIS.
3. Build ultimate intersection at Lake/Temescal Canyon by 650'h CofO
Proposed: Ultimate alignment is not needed as Lake St. does not need to be more than a 2 lane
roadway at project build-out.
Review: The proposed change is appropriate IF Lake St. does not require widening (see Link
Analysis at end of memo). Both'03TIS and'10TIS show Lakeffemescal Canyon operating at LOS
'C' at project build-out in interim (existing) condition.
4. Build ultimate intersection and signalize Lake atAlberhill Ranch Rd. -Condition satisfied.
5. Build ultimate intersection and signalize Lake at Mountain -Condition satisfied.
6. Realign Lake St curves south of Temescal Canyon Rd. to allow 55mph design speed and min.
1,750 curve radius by 464"' CofO.
Proposed: Road to be modified to "the satisfaction of the City Engineer"by 1200th CofO.
Review: Not addressed in either Traffic Impact Study.
7. Interim Lake St. improvements can have 62' ROW to meet 1,750' min. radius and superelevation
and shall include a reconstruction replacement cost.
Proposed: Work has been completed - condition has been satisfied.
Review: Proposed change assumes condition is only for curve already improved. Condition may
also relate to realignment of roadway north of this curve (see #6 above)..
8. Lake St. from Nichols to Mountain, construct % street improvements, including realignment to allow
55mph design speed and min. 1,750 curve radius by 464 h COtO.
Proposed: Improvements required by 1200th CofO.
Review: Not addressed in either Traffic Impact Study.
• Page 2
Page 42 of 46
9. Construct ultimate % section of Nichols Rd. from Lake to Terra Cotta Rd. by 464" CofO
Proposed: Construct interim 2-lane road by 1~ CofO of (adjoining final map?). Build ultimate'/
width from Lake to east side of Tract 30836 by 1,612th (build-out) CofO.
Review: Both Traffic Impact Studies show a 2-lane roadway being adequate through the build-out
of the project.
10. Connection of Nichols Road from easterly tract to Collier with interim 2-1ane road (raising a
-400'section 2' in elevation) by 411107 CofO. Bridge to be built by 12131108 or 950th CofO (which
ever was first)
Proposed: Construct 2-lane road with elevated section by 464'" CofO. Remove requirement to
build bridge.
Review: Connection to Collier was recommended for Phase 2 of the '03TIS which equated to 704
D.U. Therefore, 464" CofO seems reasonable. Having no responsibility for the ultimate bridge
construction should be addressed.
11. Construct Nichols and Collier intersections improvements by 950"' CofO (in conjunction with bridge
installation).
Proposed: Provide exclusive westbound left turn and northbound left and right turn lanes by 464th
CofO. Install signal by 1200' CofO
Review: Both the '03TIS and '10TIS show no improvements needed to this intersection until
project build-out (1,612 CofO). Note: Proposed wording says "widen and/or restripe Collier Avenue
to provide an exclusive westbound left-turn lane" "Collier Ave". should read "Nichols Rd".
12. Developer to "work with" the City if the City proceeds with design for moving Collier/Nichols
intersection to the west prior to "Phase 2" of the project.
Proposed: Remove Condition
Review: Condition needs to be reviewed and revised or eliminated.
13. Construct Nichols11-15 Northbound signal by 464" CofO or later if determined by City/Caltrans
Proposed: Install signal and add additional lane to off ramp by 1,200 CofO.
Review: '03TIS was inconsistent. Recommended signal at Phase 2 but showed LOS 'B' without
improvements for both northbound and southbound ramps. '10TIS shows northbound ramps
requiring signal at 1,191th CofO.
14. Construct Nichols/1-15 Southbound signal by 464" CofO or later if determined by City/Caltrans
Proposed: Install signal and add additional lane to off ramp by 1,200!' CofO.
Review: Same as #13
15. Construct Lake/Nichols signal and improvements. -Condition Satisfied.
16. Install sidewalk on south side of Nichols from Terra Cotta Rd. to 'A" Street in Tract 30836 (easterly
tract) when Nichols is constructed along this section.
• Page 3
Page 43 of 46
Proposed: Construct sidewalk by 100" CofO of Tract 30836.
Review: Not addressed in TIS. Note: 100th CofO of Tract 30836 not the same as 100" CofO of
Alberhill Ranch as used elsewhere in these documents.
17. Construct interim 4-1ane roadway for Lake St from Freeway to Nichols by 650"' CofO or later as
determined by City, pending future realignment of this section. Updated Traffic Impact Study
required to determine timing.
Proposed: Condition eliminated.
Review: No link analysis was performed by either TIS. See Link Review below. Future realignment
of Temescal Canyon Road as proposed by Alberhill Village Specific Plan my impact this
requirement.
18. Build Nichols road to full section within TAZ 4 of '03TIS prior to last CofO for Lot 974
Proposed: No change.
Review: Appears new alignment of Nichols no longer has development on both sides of roadway
where TAZ 4 was located in original plan. Condition should be reviewed and revised or eliminated.
Note: Proposed revision shows Lot 966 instead of 974.
19. Terra Cotta Rd. built to south project boundary by 1~'CofO in Lot 974
Proposed: No change.
Review: No comment. Note: Proposed revision shows Lot 966 instead of 974.
20. Install northbound right turn lane at Lake/I-15 southbound ramps by 6501h CofO unless delayed
pursuant to updated Traffic Impact Study noted above.
Proposed: No change.
Review: Update to Traffic Impact Study is proposed to be eliminated (see # 17). Condition needs
to be reviewed and revised.
21. Construct signal at Collector "A"(nowAlberhill Ranch Road) and Nichols Rd. by 650"' CofO.
Proposed: Add: "or at a later date as determined by City Engineer." Also add requirement for an
updated Traffic Impact Study to determine timing.
Review: Proposed condition is for the signal to be built at 1) the 650'" COfO,2) as determined by
the City and 3) based on a new Traffic Study. Condition needs to be reviewed and revised.
22. Construct traffic signal at Nichols Rd and 'A" Street of Tract 30836 (easterly tract) by 100"' CofO of
Tract 30836.
Proposed: No change.
Review: No comment. Note: 100th CofO of Tract 30836 not the same as 100th CofO of Alberhill
Ranch as used elsewhere in these documents.

Link Review: No link analysis was performed by either the '03TIS or '10TIS. The following breakdown of
roadway LOS's is a comparison between the future Daily Traffic Volumes for Lake and Nichols as determined in
the reports and the Riverside County's General Plan current Link Volume Capacities/Level of Service chart. For
Lake Street the 2-lane Arterial classification is used. Since Nichols is planned as a Major street and no 2-lane
Major classification is provided in the chart, the 2-lane Collector classification has been used.
Riverside County Link LOS Max. Volumes:
Collector: LOS'C' =10,400 LOS'D' = 11,700 LOS'E'= 13,000
2-Lane Arterial: LOS'C' =14,400 LOS'D' = 30,700 LOS'E'= 18,000
