Mr. Bolland stated that bike lanes are addressed in the Specific Plan and that the plan should stand as written. councilman Washburn questioned Condition No. 19 and asked for clairification, in addition to information on Libarary Services. Mr. Bolland explained the fire and library service levels and proposed project mitigation. He explained that the Library impact fees are expected to be negotiated at the Tentative Map stage. Councilman Washburn asked that Condition No. 16 be clarified. Mr. Bolland stated that prior to the final phase the road must be completed. Councilman Buck stated concern over high density and sub-standards lots. He asked if, at the Tentative Map stage, development of the open space can be addressed. Mr. Bolland stated that the Specific Plan is consistant with the General Plan in this area. city Attorney Harper stated that the specific Plan is a zoning Document. The Specific Plan can be amended the same way as a Zoning Document can be amended. If Council feels at a future date that an amendment would improve the project or that an area was not addressed properly it can then be amended. - Councilman Washburn questioned the funding of the fire station. Mr. Bolland stated that the fire station is expected to be funded by three major projects in the area as part of their conditions of approval. One of the projects has dedicated land for the fire station. City Manager Molendyk stated that the City's responsibility will be maintenance and operation costs in the next few years and will be addressed in the city budget. The level of service will be determined by the city. Councilman Washburn expressed concern in regard to Police Service levels. He requested the developer to address this concern. Mr. Mike McGee of Pardee Construction stated their fiscal analysis assumed a level of service fifteen percent (15%) higher than the current level, including the two new officers that the City currently has. This is comparable to the level of services in suburban areas such as Orange and San Diego Counties which is where the potential buyers are coming from. Mayor Winkler questioned if the level of service would be less. ,...... City Manager Molendyk stated the Administrative Services Director with their Financial Consultant reviewed this issue and staff feels comfortable with the level of service proposed by the project. Councilman Washburn stated that in the Fiscal Impact Report fire services is a deficit. He further stated that the services are to pay for themselves and he cannot understand why a Mello Roos is not acceptable. He stated that he does not feel the level of service is adequate and that it should be increased. City Manager Molendyke explained that Mello Roos is only good for a period of time. He invited Administrative services Director Wood to address this. PAGE FOUR - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - MARCH 14, 1989 Councilman Washburn stated that if it were not for the improvements being done on Railroad Canyon Road he would not concur with the density. Mayor Winkler thanked staff for all their assistance in answering questions and finding resolutions for his concerns to make this a quality development. 31.

These impacts are found to be acceptable due to benefits derived by development under the General Plan, specifically the provision of quality housing opportunities by the city, the anticipated increase in local government revenues generated by project residents and the provision of significant improvements to Railroad Canyon Road, all of which are expected to support local commercial and industrial development efforts and generate measurable benefits to the local economy and fiscal integrity of City government. The foregoing overriding considerations provide the rationale for a decision to approve this request. 3.

This General Plan Amendment would provide for residential support of City commercial and industrial development thereby promoting a community-wide balance of land uses. 5. This General Plan Amendment density designation of 2.17 units per gross acre provides for a transfer of density from all open space areas into adjacent developed areas, and for a density bonus of .17 dwelling units/acre in exchange for provision of Railroad Canyon Road infrastructure at a more extensive level than would otherwise be required by the project, and provision of complete turn-key neighborhood parks and partial community park infrastructure above that which would normally be required. 6. This Amendment will allow land uses in character with the subject property's location, access and constraints. 7. This Amendment will permit reasonable development of the property consistent with its constraints and compatible with adjacent properties and proposed development. 8. This General Plan Amendment permits development to the highest and best nature within mitigable means to insure maintenance of the general public health, safety and welfare. ..... 9.

MOVED BY BUCK, SECONDED BY WASHBURN CARRIED BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO CERTIFY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 88-1, APPROVE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 854 AND APPROVE SPECIFIC PLAN 88-1 (COTTONWOOD HILLS - PARDEE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY) BASED UPON THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS, DELETING CONDITION NO. 28, AMENDING CONDITION NO. 24 AND 27 AS FOLLOWS: Findinqs: - 1. The Specific Plan is anticipated to result in several significant adverse environmental impacts which are described in the project Environmental Impact Report.

These impacts are found to be acceptable due to benefits derived by the project, specifically the provision of quality housing opportunities by the City, the anticipated increase in local government revenues generated by project residents, and the provision of significant improvements to Railroad Canyon Road all of which are expected to support local commercial and industrial development efforts and generate measurable benefits to the local economy and fiscal integrity of City government.

A number of these significant impacts are unavoidable and a statement of overriding consideration is recommended as Finding #2. Specific findings on each significant impact are as listed in Table 1 (attached). r-- 2 '. This request will result in significant environmental impacts associated with loss of habitat, traffic circulation, degradation of air quality and a substantial contribution to the cumulative impacts of area-wide urban development which may be partially mitigated but are anticipated to remain significant upon development of the site as allowed under the General Plan. These impacts are therefore found to be acceptable due to benefits derived by development under the General Plan, specifically the provisions of quality housing opportunities by the City, the anticipated increase in local government revenues generated by project residents and the provision of significant improvements to Railroad Canyon Road, all of which are expected to support local commercial and industrial development efforts and generate measurable benefits to the local economy and fiscal integrity of City Government. The foregoing overriding considerations provide the rationale for a decision to approve this request. 3. The project would be provided the necessary public facilities and services in a phased manner as needed, as detailed in the Annexation Report, Fiscal Analysis, Specific Plan and by its Conditions of Approval.
