Proiect Location The project site is located south of Pottery Street, east Langstaff Street, north of Sumner Avenue, and west of the flood control channel, on Assessor Parcel Nos. 374- 071-003 thru -014, -026, and -027; 374-072-018, -020, -022, -026, -028, -030, -032, -034, and -036, within Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project Area No. 1. Agenda Item No. Page I of IN PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 Environmental Setting Project Background On September 4, 2007 the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore ( "Agency ") issued a Request for Qualifications for a developer partner with expertise in the development and management of affordable housing. On March 25, 2008, the Agency selected BRIDGE Housing ( "BRIDGE ") as that partner. In July and August 2008, Agency staff and BRIDGE collaborated on an application for funds from HUD specifically designated for the development of affordable housing in historic downtowns such as Lake Elsinore's Historic Downtown Elsinore Overlay District. On September 23, 2008, the City was awarded a $1 Million grant from HUD through the HOPE VI Main Street program for development of the Pottery Court project. Pottery Court is located in the Redevelopment Agency's Project Area No. 1, which has an outstanding inclusionary housing obligation of approximately 144 very low, low and moderate income units and a projected inclusionary requirement of approximately 45 additional affordable units triggered by development activity in the Project Area during the past five years. Pottery Court's 111 affordable units will make substantial progress toward satisfying the inclusionary housing requirements for Project Area No. 1. It will also satisfy over 11% of the Agency's total affordable housing requirement of approximately 771 additional units projected through 2010 in the Agency's Redevelopment and Housing Implementation Plan for the 2005 -2009 reporting period. On October 28, 2008, the Agency approved a commitment of Four Million Thirty Nine Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($4,039,000) of Agency Low and Moderate Housing Funds to BRIDGE for the purpose of financing the land acquisition and other eligible project costs. On May 26, 2009, the City Council and Agency Board approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (Pottery Court) by and between the Agency and Pottery Court Housing Associates, L.P. (the "DDA "), which provides for sale of the Site and development of the project. Pursuant to the DDA, the Agency loan from its Low and Moderate Income Housing Set Aside Fund to the project increased to Four Million Sixty One Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($4,061,000). The Agency loan will be evidenced by a Promissory Note (at 3% simple interest) and secured by a Deed of Trust recorded against the Site. Agenda Item No. Jrt Page A of EXISTING "LAND',USE ;ZO:NING', .

Agenda Item No. Jrt Page A of PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 Other sources of financing for the proposed Pottery Court Project include: $440,000 from County HOME Funds, a conventional loan of approximately $2,172,000 and tax credit equity of approximately $17,000,000. In order to satisfy the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) regulations, BRIDGE must demonstrate "site control' (as evidenced by the DDA) and other requisite conditions in its tax credit application submitted prior to the June 9, 2009 deadline. No later than August 2009, BRIDGE must demonstrate to TCAC that the intended project is viable and that all necessary entitlements have been secured. BRIDGE submitted their land use applications to the Planning Department on April 28, 2009. Staff has worked diligently with the BRIDGE development team to prepare the project for public hearing and ensure that the August deadline is met. Project Description The project consists of 113 units, with 111 affordable units and 2 resident manager units. There are eight buildings total with five of the buildings proposed at three - stories and three buildings (those facing Langstaff) providing two - stories. The units range in size from one bedroom /one bath units @ 668 ± square feet, up to three bedroom /two bath units @ 1,086 square feet. There are three different one bedroom floorplans which comprise 18% of the total units. There are four different two bedroom floorplans which comprise 42% of the total units. And, there are three different three bedroom floorplans which comprise 40% of the total units. The project offers both private open space and common open space, including a large central courtyard that provides the following amenities: playground equipment, raised garden planters, citrus grove, barbecues, walkways, seatwalls, and outdoor furniture. There is also a passive recreation area, with wood trellis and outdoor furniture. The recreation facility includes a wading pool, swimming pool, pergola, community room, study room, practice room and kitchen, as well as a leasing office. BRIDGE management intends to offer nutrition classes, first aid, and job readiness programs as part of their innovative, "solutions" approach to meeting community needs. As in their other sites, any resident is eligible to apply for the BRIDGE competitive Stein Educational Assistance Scholarship awarded each year, enabling a BRIDGE resident to attend college. Analysis Tentative Parcel Map No. 36193 Property Ownerships The applicant submitted Tentative Parcel Map No. 36193 (TPM) as the vehicle to combine the twenty -three (23) individual parcels that are to be assembled for the project site. Of the 23 parcels, the City and /or the Agency own 19 parcels. The Agency is Agenda Item No. Page '-� of -771 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 under contract with the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District to purchase three of the lots on the west side of the channel which are currently owned by Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District. The remaining lot is a Tax Defaulted Parcel which the Agency is seeking to acquire. The Agency will ensure that all parcels have been assembled before construction commences. In the highly unlikely event that any of the four outstanding parcels are not acquired by the Agency, the project is conditioned to redesign and revise the site plan to accommodate the loss of acreage. Riley Street Vacation The applicant intends to file a request for vacation of Riley Street between Pottery and Sumner. Staff, including the City Traffic Engineer, supports the vacation of Riley Street between Pottery and Sumner. This proposed street vacation will be processed in the near future and will be subject to the discretionary review and approval of the City Council. In the event that the City Council exercises its discretion not to approve the vacation of Riley Street, the applicant will be required to redesign the site plan for the project. That revised site plan must be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director or his designee. Residential Design Review No. 2009 -02 Proiect Entry The applicant worked with Staff to achieve an impressive entry statement, bringing the architecturally enhanced maintenance building closer to the street, providing a decorative entry marker and planter wall with project signage. Building Elevations & Materials The project proposes Spanish style architecture with arched entrances, wood lattices, sand finish stucco, recessed windows and tile accents. Staff worked with the applicant to achieve the same presentation in the maintenance building and the recreation facility. Although both of these structures are single -story, the maintenance building is at the main entry, and the rear of the recreation building faces the channel and is visible from development likely to occur along Main Street, within the new Downtown Master Plan. Incorporation of the same building elements on the maintenance building and recreation facility tie together the entire project aesthetically. Building Separation The residential buildings are fully sprinklered. All buildings meet the separation requirements of the LEMC. Garages, trash enclosures, the maintenance building and recreation building, which are accessory structures, are not subject to the separation requirement. Staff has determined that Building "D" is a three -story structure measured Agenda Item No. Page L4 of !�7L� PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 from grade to the top of the parapet for each section of the building, and therefore, complies with building separation requirements of the LEMC. Density Bonus and Incentives Lake Elsinore has an adopted Density Bonus ordinance, which is codified in Chapter 17.58 of the LEMC. Section 17.58.030 provides that: "The City shall grant a density bonus and at least one additional incentive as set forth in LEMC 17.58.040 and 17.58.045... , to a project applicant of a housing development who applies for and agrees to provide any of the following: 2. At least five percent of the units (excluding density bonus units) as restricted units restricted to occupancy by very low income households The amount of the density bonus granted depends on the nature of the units that the developer is constructing. According to Section 17.58.020, if the developer is constructing housing available to very low income households, the amount of the density bonus shall be: "At least 20 percent over the permitted maximum residential density for projects containing units restricted to occupancy by very low income households. The percentage of density bonus granted shall increase by two and one -half percent for every one percent above five percent (the threshold percentage of units required by LEMC 17.58.030 (A)(2), up to a maximum density bonus of 35 percent over the maximum residential density" BRIDGE has requested a density bonus. According to LEMC 17.58.030, BRIDGE qualifies for the density bonus because Pottery Court provides at least five percent of the units restricted to occupancy by very low income households. In fact, Pottery Court will provide 111 units restricted to occupancy by very low income households. Therefore, the amount of density bonus for which BRIDGE qualifies is the maximum 35 percent pursuant to LEMC 17.58.020, which would be an additional 8.4 units per acre or 32.4 units per acre total. Given site constraints, BRIDGE does not need to take advantage of the full density bonus. Instead, BRIDGE only requests a density bonus of an additional 2 units per acre. The site plan includes 113 units on 4.3± acres, which translates into 26 units per acre. Pursuant to state law and the LEMC, if the qualified housing development will produce more than five percent of units restricted to occupancy of very low income households, the City shall grant the developer additional incentives. The number of additional Agenda Item No. I Page - of fit{ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 incentives granted depends on the percentage increase over the minimum requirement that must be met to receive the density bonus in the first place. According to 17.58.040, the developer shall receive: "Three additional incentives for projects that include at least ...15 percent of the total units (excluding density bonus units) for very low income households" Here, as mentioned above, Pottery Court will include 111 units restricted to very low income occupants. Of those 111 units, 103 of the units are permitted as of right by the zoning and land use designations. Because of the project's very low income affordability restrictions, Pottery Court qualifies for three additional incentives. BRIDGE has requested 3 incentives. The incentives for which Pottery Court qualifies are: 1) the use of tandem parking stalls, 2) deviation from standard building heights, and 3) a reduction in the average 20 -foot setback requirements. Tandem Parking Spaces Generally, the LEMC does not permit tandem parking. However, according to the Density Bonus ordinance, tandem parking is available if the developer qualifies for a density bonus and an incentive. As explained above, Pottery Court qualifies for a density bonus and 3 incentives. Staff supports the tandem parking arrangement so long as the tandem spaces are assigned to the same unit as the garage space that it fronts. A condition of approval to this effect has been incorporated. With the tandem spaces, the project meets the minimum parking requirements of the LEMC. BRIDGE has successfully utilized this type of tandem parking design in other projects. Parking studies by other agencies on affordable housing projects have shown that few complexes fully utilize the parking spaces required by standard municipal zoning codes. In fact, one jurisdiction recommended that parking requirements for rent - restricted affordable housing projects should be reduced by as much as 75 %, and the tandem parking option should be extended to all projects serving those households at 60% AMI or lower income. Building Heights The LEMC allows for a maximum 30 -foot height for structures in the R -3 zone. However, according to the Density Bonus ordinance, when a developer qualifies for a density bonus, one of the incentives offered to the developer is relief from the maximum building height set forth in the LEMC for that particular zoning district. Pottery Court qualifies for the building height incentive. The Pottery Court apartment building heights exceed the 30 -foot maximum by no more than four feet. The rooflines are so varied, and with the breakup of walls, the structures remain attractive and non - obtrusive. Staff Agenda Item No. Page to of �� f PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 believes that the impact of the three to four foot increase in building height is minimal Setbacks The LEMC requires an average 20 -foot setback along fronts of buildings. However, according to the Density Bonus ordinance, when a developer qualifies for a density bonus, one of the incentives offered to the developer is relief from the setback requirements set forth in the LEMC for that particular zoning district. Pottery Court qualifies for the setback incentive. The applicant requests relief from this requirement in order to provide the large common open space courtyard in the center of the project, and to engage the buildings closer to the street. Staff supports this request, noting that the project does meet the minimum 15 -foot setback requirement. Environmental Determination The Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Ca. Pub. Res. Code sections 21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (14 Cal. Code Regs. Sections 15000 et seq.: "CEQA Guidelines ") pursuant to a Class 32 categorical exemption for in -fill development projects. The Project qualifies for such an exemption because: 1. The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. 2. The Project will occur within the City limits on a project site that is less than five (5) acres and the site is substantially surrounded by urban uses. 3. The Project site currently consists of eleven (11) single family residential dwelling units, parking, and vacant land and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Moreover, as indicated in that certain Habitat Assessment Report for the Proposed Pottery Court Project Site dated for identification purposes as of March 16, 2009, the Project is not located within an MSHCP criteria cell and is consistent with the MSHCP Section 6 Plan Wide Requirements. No suitable habitat occurs on site and therefore no focused surveys are required. 4. Pursuant to that certain Traffic, Air Quality and Noise Analysis prepared by the Planning Center for the Pottery Court project dated for identification purposes as of April 2009, approval of the Project will not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise or air. Furthermore, pursuant to that certain Water Quality Management Plan prepared for Pottery Court by SB &O, Inc. dated for identification purposes as of April 27, 2009, the approval of the Project will not result in any significant effects relating to water quality. Finally, pursuant to that Agenda Item No. Page I of y PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TPM 36193 & RDR 2009 -02 JUNE 2, 2009 certain Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment of the Pottery Court project prepared by Archaeological Associates and dated for identification purposes only as of April 23, 2009, and that certain Pre - Construction Paleontological Assessment of the Pottery Court project prepared by Archaeological Associates and dated for identification purposes only as of April 23, 2009, approval of the Project will not result in any significant effects relating to cultural or archeological resources on the Pottery Court site. 5. The Project Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. MSHCP As indicated in that certain Habitat Assessment Report for the Proposed Pottery Court Project Site dated for identification purposes as of March 16, 2009, the Project is not located within an MSHCP criteria cell and is consistent with the MSHCP Section 6 Plan Wide Requirements. Notice of Exemption Appropriate findings were made and Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that a Notice of Exemption for Tentative Parcel Map No. 36193 and Residential Design Review No. 2009 -02 should be approved by the City Council.

The Planning Commission has considered the proposed application and its consistency with the MSHCP prior to making a decision to recommend that the City Council adopt findings that the Project is consistent with the MSHCP. SECTION 2. That in accordance with the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and the MSHCP, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The proposed project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution, and the City must make an MSHCP Consistency finding before approval. The Property is not located within an MSHCP Criteria Cell. However, the Property is within the Elsinore Plan Area and as such, the Project must be reviewed for consistency with the MSHCP "Plan Wide Requirements," including Section 6.1.2 Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines. 2. The proposed project is subject to the City's LEAP and the County's Joint Project Review processes. As stated above, the Property is not located within an MSHCP Criteria Cell and therefore the Project was not reviewed through the LEAP or Joint Project Review processes. 3. The proposed project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines. According to that certain Habitat Assessment Report prepared by Thomas Leslie Corporation, the March 9, 2009 field survey revealed that no Riparian /Riverine Areas or Vernal Pool habitat exist on the Property. It was determined that there is no potential for vernal pool or vernal pool species to occur on the Property. Therefore, the Project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP. No Section 6.1.2 investigations are necessary. 4. The proposed project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines. As documented by the Conservation Summary Report, the Property is located outside of the Narrow Endemic Plan Species (NEPS) Survey Area. Therefore, no NEPS habitat assessment surveys are required. The Project is consistent with Section 6.1.3 of the MSHCP and no further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required. 5. The proposed project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures. AGENDA ITE:A NO. � PAGE jot OF —14 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2009-. PAGE 3 OF 5 According to the Conservation Summary Reports, the Property is located outside of any MSHCP Criteria Area Species, Burrowing Owl, Amphibian Species or Mammal Species Survey Areas. Therefore, no additional habitat assessment surveys are required by the MSHCP and, consequently, the Project is consistent with Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required. The proposed project is consistent with the UrbaniWildlands Interface Guidelines. The Property is located outside of, and 3,300 t feet away from, any MSHCP Conservation Area or Fish and Wildlife Service Additional Reserve Lands. The eastern boundary of the Property, however, abuts the flood control channel which constitutes Public Quasi - Public Lands. According to that certain Habitat Assessment Report prepared by Thomas Leslie Corporation, no sensitive biological resources were identified in the portion of the channel adjacent to the eastern project site boundary. Currently, the flood control channel is fenced on both sides to prevent public access. In order to protect the integrity of the flood control channel from development of the Project, the Developer is required to comply with all Regional Water Quality Control Board rules and regulations and has prepared a Water Quality Management Plan. Therefore, the Project is consistent with Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required. 7. The proposed project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements. Thomas Leslie Corporation has mapped the Property in accordance with the requirements of Vegetation Mapping set forth in Section 6.3.1 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required. 8. The proposed project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines. The Property does not encompass areas that would be subject to the Fuels Management Guidelines. However, the site is adjacent to some vacant parcels that may require on -going brush abatement to reduce fire risk. The City has a program in place to address brush abatement when necessary. As such, the Fuels Management Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.4 of the MSHCP are not applicable to the Project. No further action regarding this section of the MSHCP is required. The proposed project will be conditioned to pay the City's MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee. The developer will be required to pay the City's MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee.

The Project Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. SECTION 3. That in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for Tentative Parcel Map No. 36193: 1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvements, is consistent with the goals and objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan (Government Code Section 66473.5). The General Plan and Zoning Map designate the site as HD — High Agenda Item No. Page 1-1 of '1 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2009-_ PAGE 3OF5 Density Residential and R -3 — High Density Residential, respectively. The Map appropriately combines 23 lots in order for the applicant to construct and manage a 113 -unit apartment complex that is consistent with high density residential development. 2. The site of the proposed division of land is physically suitable for the density of development in accordance with the General Plan. The General Plan calls for high density residential in this area, to serve local residents within walking distance to commercial businesses along Main Street, schools and daycare facilities within a three -block radius, and neighborhood churches. The site is generally flat and easily accessible. 3. The effects that this project are likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the public service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental resources have been considered and balanced. The project is consistent with the City's General Plan. During the approval of the City's General Plan, housing needs, public services and fiscal resources were scrutinized to achieve a balance within the City. The Pottery Court project is 100% affordable housing (except for 2 units reserved for occupancy by resident managers) meeting the City's Housing Element goals and objectives, satisfies the Redevelopment Agency's inclusionary housing obligations, and furthers the City's and the Agency's goals to provide housing available to all income levels. 4. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The Project is conditioned to comply with the R -3 development standards of the City's Zoning Code. Further, the site must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act for access. These standards and conditions have been prepared and reviewed to benefit the public health, safety and welfare. 5. The design of the proposed merging of land or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed merging of land. All known easements or requests for access have been examined and incorporated into Tentative Parcel Map No. 36193. The map has been circulated to City departments and outside agencies, and appropriate conditions of approval have been applied for their approval.

Although we do have facilities in the public rights of way they should be at a depth that would not conflict with your project. If there are houses presently on these lots the gas services will need to be abandoned before construction starts. At this time I see no apparent interference or conflict with your project and currently plan no new installations within the limits of the proposed construction. In the event you revise your plans or increase the limits of the project, please provide us with the information as soon as it becomes available. We require new facilities that cross our pipelines maintain a minimum one (1) foot of vertical separation and new facilities installed parallel to our pipelines maintain a minimum two (2) feet of horizontal separation. Existing twelve (12) inch and larger gas lines require additional horizontal separation. It is our intention to allow your contractor to remove any abandoned facilities that may be encountered during the course of construction. Upon request, at least two (2) working days prior to the start of construction, we will locate and mark our active underground facilities for the contractor at no cost. Please call Underground Service Alert (USA) at 1 (800) 227 -2600. If you have immediate questions or require additional information, please contact me at (909) 335 - 7582.
