Mr. Nugroho explained that the three different exterior elevations were pre-ploned, so the home owner selected the plan they desired and the exterior elevation had been previously assigned to the house. ' Commissioner Larimer stated that a problem she had encountered was that the homes are built close together and her master bath looked into her neighbor's master bath and she wanted to make sure that would not be a continuos problem.

She asked if it was hard to make oval windows on the upstairs for consistency. Mr. Nugroho stated that it did not make any difference as to the shape of the window as it relates to the cost of installation.

He noted that the cell criteria was 70% - 80% of the total cell to be conserved and 20% - 30% to be developed. He further noted that the location of the conservation area was required to be in the northern portion which would put the development in the southern portion of the area.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS PAGE 4 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - February 1, 2005 Vice Chairman O'Neal requested clarification as to the traffic impact on the Grape St/Railroad Canyon Rd. interchange. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that the impacts were mitigated through the conditions. Vice Chairman O'Neal requested that Deputy Gty Attorney Miles interpret Omdition No. 32. Commissioner Larimer asked Engineering Manager Seumalo about traffic and what was happening in 2025. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that 2025 was the build out for the interchange at Railroad Canyon Rd. He provided an overview of the improvements scheduled for the area. Commissioner Larimer asked why it took 20 years to do improvements. Engineering Manager Seumalo provided an overview of the process and the time table for the proposed improvements. He indicated that the Gty had completed the first stage of the improvements when the requirements changed; therefore the Gty lost 18 months of time spent on the improvement project. He further indicated that 2025 was the date of the projected traffic volumes, as per Cal- Trans, and the improvements would be built to accommodate the traffic for that date. Commissioner Larimer requested clarification for the letter written regarding the Indian remains. Mr. Woodward stated that it was a standard routine letter sent throughout the area influenced by the Pechanga Tribe. Senior Planner Preisendanz stated that Pechanga always commented on mitigation monitoring programs. There was discussion regarding the process for notification when artifacts were discovered, and the tribal monitor. Wendy Worthy, HDR Environmental Consultants, provided an explanation of the process to include comments from Pechanga and the tribal monitor's position in the development projects. Vice Chairman O'Neal noted a tribal burial ground near Canyon Hills. Commissioner Gonzales stated that Grape St. was a dangerous spot due to the limited visibility. Engineering Manager Seumalo noted that the topic was discussed and would be addressed. Commissioner Gonzales requested clarification as to the security of the gated community. Senior Planner Preisendanz noted that the topography provided some security and the gate was for vehicle traffic. He acknowledged that although the back of the site was not monitored, the police and fire departments would assist in providing adequate security. Commissioner Gonzales addressed weed abatement and the HOA's responsibility to maintain the area. He confirmed that the HOA would be formed prior to first occupancy. Mr. Woodward stated that legal formation of the HOA took place upon closing of escrow. He explained that the Department of Real Estate required the HOA fees to be paid by the homeowners of the first phase with an additional a requirement to have a property management company in place. He noted that the developer holds three seats on the HOA Board and the other two seats are held by members of the community. Commissioner LaPere addressed page 8 of 111 and 9 of 111 regarding affordable housing requirements. Mr. Woodward indicated that the homes in the project were not in the moderate or affordable price range. Chairman LaPere clarified that the average cost of the homes was between $250,000 and $350,000. He further asked how in-lieu fees were calculated. PAGE 5 - PLANNING CDMMISSION MINUIES - February 1, 2005 Gty Manager Brady explained the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance for the Redevelopment Agency and how the fees were calculated. He explained that the intent of the affordable housing clause was to close the gap in affordability, not necessarily to provide the units at a reduced rate. Chainnan LaPere clarified the cost per unit and the amount the developer would pay on the 15% of fees in lieu of building affordable housing. Gty Manager Brady noted that the fee was based on the total square footage of the project. Chainnan LaPere addressed page 11 of 111 regarding compact parking. He noted that the project was beautiful and very well laid out. DEPUfYOTY ATTORNEY COMMENTS Deputy Gty Anomey Miles provided a background of the project. He noted that the property had been known as the Zuckerman property, which was entirely an MSHCP cell. When the property was sold to Mr. Woodward it became a challenge for the Gty to maintain consistency and compliance with the MSHCP. He indicated that the most developable portion of the cell was sold to Mr. Woodward which left the remaining area for conservation. He stated that the two steps to the analysis are that the Commission wants to ensure compliance with the criteria area with respect to the project; the second is that the Commission needed to ensure compliance with the MSHCP's conservation goals. He noted the need to look at the cell and analyze the end result of the project without Condition No. 32, which would result in zero acres of conservation. He further noted the possibility of an assurance that the remainder property would go through an acquisition process; however the entidement within the cell being requested for approval drafted without Condition No. 32 would result in zero acres of conservation in the cell. He stated that Condition No. 32 was drafted largely by the RCA after much discussion, and it became clear that in concept it would not work He noted that after meeting with the applicant and the ReA, the Gtydecided to use an MSHCP fee credit to be used to specifically acquire a portion of the Zuckerman property in the cell in order to assure that there would be definite conservation inside the cell. Deputy Gty Anomey Miles noted that it was the decision of the Planning Commission to send the project to the Gty Council; however he had additional conditions of approval for the record and a modification to the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Senior Planner Preisendanz indicated that the applicant was not aware of the additional conditions proposed. He stated that the additional Condition No. 31 would read: "In aa:ardarKE Wth the atrrent LEAP prwss, awidarKE nitigaion 11'R1Sure5 am cJ:her suitable nitigaion 11'R1Sure5 shall be ag;m:l to by the applit:ant upon final detemination if existingjurisdictional waers subjoct to city Oxmil apprm.nl" and New Condition No. 32 would read, "Inaa:ardarKE Wth the atrrent LEAP prwss, cunsenution if onsite Riwsidean Saw Scmb shall be ag;m:l to by the applit:ant in acreaW arramts to be detemimi by the City Oxmil. " Deputy Gty Anomey Miles clarified that there were 21.3 acres of Riversidean Sage Scrub on the project site as well as 0.01 acres of potential jurisdictional waters. He referred to page 34 of the Mitigated Negative Declaration that described the jurisdictional area. He advised the Gty to include a Condition of Approval which would address what mitigation may be required under 404 PAGE 6 - PLANNING CDMMISSION MINUTES - February 1, 2005 processes, 1602 processes, and Riverean Riparian processes under the MSHCP. He noted that the first condition of approval was a place saver measure that would allow mitigation upon determination of the extent of jurisdictional water on site. He further noted that the second condition allows review of the project while there is no mitigation. He recommended striking the last sentence from the mitigation measure as, "If the applicant is required to provide on-site or off- site mitigation for impacts to critical habitat or sensitive habitat required under state, union, or federal regulations, and the applicants obligation for such MSHCP mitigation fees shall be credited for the cost to acquire and preserve such onsite and/or offsite mitigation." He noted the uncertainty as to the right the Gty had to grant fee credits. He noted recent RCA policy efforts to approve fee credit considerations where if the Gty granted an unauthorized fee credit, the Gty would be responsible to make up the difference. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles addressed comments made by Mr. Sauls. He noted that under the MSHCP, the verbal ok from the RCA was not relevant. He further noted that the Joint Project Review process initiated a timing problem because that process allowed the RCA to formally comment on the Commissions determination. He indicated that the County had control over the MSHCP Board and that he hoped that Ms. Lowe would work with the Gty. He addressed Mr. Saul's comment regarding the Zuckerman acquisition process under way. He noted that under the MSHCP any acquisition of the Zuckerman property would go through the Gty's LEAP process, so there was no conceptual acquisition for the remainder of that cell. He indicated that the project was going forward for entitlement with a density increase, and there was zero acreage to be conserved. He further indicated that the Gtywould inherit Mr. Zuckerman and his acquisition efforts. He further noted that this could be ok, however he wanted to minimize having to tell the "second property owner to the well" that they had no options. He noted that staff worked with the applicant to come up with an alternative that would apply their MSHCP fees to acquisition in the cell and that was difficult due to coordination with the ReA. He agreed that Condition No. 32 was not the appropriate condition to go with, because was unrealistic. He noted that he offered two alternative conditions of approval and offered to answer any questions. Ed Sauls thanked the Deputy Gty Attorney for his input. He stated that in order for a project to be acquired, it must go through the LEAPS process. He noted that there were other processes to allow for acquisition. He suggested that the project move forward to Gty Council for consideration and continue to work out the differences. He noted that the Gty had the authority to make the interpretation of the MSHCP, and RCA advised the Gty; therefore the Gty could move the project forward without the Joint Project Review. He noted that the verbal support came from Senior Planner Preisendanz reflecting his discussion with the RCA staff. He stated that he would like the opportunity to work out the differences with staff. Scott Woodward noted that only 400 square feet of the property was considered jurisdictional water while the overall project exceeded a million square feet. He noted that his consultant contacted the Army Corp. of Engineers to inspect the site for jurisdictional waters. He further noted that if the Corp. deemed it jurisdictional, they would comply with their requirements. He indicated that the applicant agreed to mitigation measures to be determined by Gty Council related to the Sage Scrub. He noted that the habitat on the site is disturbed and there was no occupation, therefore nothing on the Endangered Species List required preservation unless it occupied the area, and the property was PAGE 7 - PLANNING CDMMISSION MINUfES - February 1, 2005 not occupied. He stated that he did not agree to Deputy Gty Miles' second comment relating to further mitigation pertaining to fees and on-site conservation. Chairman LaPere requested clarification as to ownership of the property. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles stated that Mr. Woodward owned 27 acres. Chairman LaPere asked how the MSH~ requirements related to each cell and setting aside of the conservatIon area. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles indicated that the quantitative criteria conservation requirement is 70% - 80%, so the conservation goals for that cell have been met. He further indicated that the difference in opinion was that there is no assurance that 73% had been conserved. Chairman LaPere stated that the owner of the remaining portion of the cell could conserve. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles concurred, however the struggle came from Mr. Woodward not looking at the site versus the cell. The various government agencies can utilize their traditional land use and police powers to require mitigation rather than automatically go to acquisition. Chairman LaPere clarified that if Mr. Zuckennan provided written assurance of his awareness that he cannot develop his property due to the MSH~, the developers could go forward with their project. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles noted that if control of the conveyance of the Z uckennan property was in place with an enforceable agreement, there would be no impediment to the development going forward. Chairman LaPere stated that conservation area in the project was close to 80%. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles confirmed that the remainder portion of the property in the cell could not be developed as it would be required for conservation in accordance with the cell criteria. Chairman LaPere recessed the Planning Commission Meeting at 7:47 pm for five minutes and reconvened at 7:54 pm. Chairman LaPere asked if it would be appropriate to ask the applicant for a document to assure that the remaining property in the cell would be dedicated to habitat. Mr. Woodward stated that the applicant should not be burdened with the agreement. He reiterated that the cell criteria had been met and the conservation area was described. He indicated that Mr. Zuckennan had submitted a letter to the Oty regarding his desire to sell the property. He further stated that it was the Oty's responsibility to contact Mr. Zuckennan about this matter, not the applicants. PAGE 8 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - February 1, 2005 Chairman LaPere clarified that the new conditions, No. 31 and 32, written by Deputy Gty Attorney Miles would replace Condition No. 32. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles concurred. Chairman LaPere asked the applicant if he understood new Condition 31 and 32. Mr. Woodward agreed with Condition No. 31; however he objected to new Condition No. 32 and referred to Mr. Sauls for the explanation. Mr. Sauls referred to the MSHCP HANS process. He noted that the project was either consistent or inconsistent. He further noted that staff was in agreement that the project was consistent with the MSHCP. He noted the Gty's desire to add inappropriate conditions, and when staff was in agreement that the project was consistent with the MSHCP. He read from HANS process to clarify that the development of the property in the cell could proceed without acquirement. He further clarified that Mr. Zuckennan understood that his propertywas to be conserved under MSHCP. Mr. Sauls stated that he had submitted a proposed purchase agreement to staff and the Gty Attorney for acquisition of the Zuckennan property. He indicated that Mr. Zuckennan had offered his property for sale to the Riverside County Economic Development Agency and the agreements had been submitted to the Regional Conservation Agency for purchase of the property. He noted that putting a condition on the project that addressed the adjacent property was inappropriate. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles stated that in the event that the property was owned by one property owner, dedication would be required for conservation. He indicated that the Gty could consider future problems arising from the fact that there was no developable portion of the cell remaining. He further noted that to assure some conservation, a condition needed to be in place to at least allow for consideration of habitat conservation on site. He stated that the location of the 400 square feet of conservation was yet to be determined. He further noted that payment of the MSHCP fee is not the "beginning and end" of mitigation for project specific impacts. Chairman LaPere requested clarification of new Condition No. 32. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles explained that the new condition served as a place-saver whereby the Gty Council could determine that, if mitigation was needed, a certain amount of mitigation would be required of the project. Condition No. 31 addressed mitigation for potential impacts to jurisdictional waters and Omdition No. 32 addressed mitigation for potential impacts to Riversidean Sage Scrub. He noted that it would allow the applicant to go forward to Gty Council. Vice Chairman O'Neal clarified that the project could move forward with two exceptions to be worked out prior to taking it to Gty Council. Mr. Sauls stated that the 26 acres was mitigated by the MSHCP fee payment. He further noted that there was no further obligation to consider the 26 acres. PAGE 9 - PLANNING CDMMISSION MINUTES - February 1, 2005 Chainnan LaPere stated that in order for the project to move forward, the applicant and the Gty Anorney needed to work out their differences pertaining to new G:mdition No.'s 31 and 32. Mr. Woodward concurred with Chainnan LaPere and noted his concerns with new Condition No. 32 as stated by Mr. Sauls. He further noted his support in alternatives being brought forward, consideration, and the progress being made with regards to an agreement COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Vice Chainnan O'Neal stated his support for the project and the funds at stake for the applicant; however he noted his allegiance with Deputy Gty Anorney Miles' advice. He noted that he supported moving the project forward to Gty Council using the new conditions and resolving the issues prior to the Gty Council meeting. He stated that it was a fair compromise and if the issues could not be resolved the project would not go the Gt y Council for consideration. He stated that it was a great project and the applicant deserved to move forward. Commissioner Larimer noted her concerns for pushing the project through. She indicated that the Commission should be dealing with the issues prior to the Gty Council, because they have enough to deal with. Chainnan LaPere clarified that the motion was to recommend approval to the Gty Council provided that the issues with new Condition No.'s 31 and 32 were resolved, and if those issues were not resolved, the project would not go to Gty Council. Commissioner Larimer stated that the focus had been on the MSHCP, but not the concerns of real citizens who do not care about the MSHCP; the citizen's care more about traffic and the Indians care about human remains. She stated that there was a lot of jargon going on and that the Gty Anorney said a lot of good things and the applicant said a lot of good things, but that she made decisions for herself. She stated that this stuff was not clear. She stated that the Commission needed to take everything that had been said, think about it, do research and come to a conclusion. She stated that there were two different opinions and she did not know the applicant; they were all adults that needed to make their own decisions. She stated that moving the project forward was not the best thing and that she needed two more weeks to think about it. Gt Manager Brady noted his understanding of Commissioner Larimer's concerns and concurred with the complexity of the project. He noted the time spent by staff and the applicant. He indicated that the only issue not in agreement was the new Condition No. 32. He further indicated that questions addressing the zone change or the general plan amendment could be brought forward, however there were no requests to address the Planning Commission submined by any residents. He stated that staff had worked to resolve all issues prior to bringing the project before the Commission and the only issue remaining was the MSHCP. Commissioner Larimer concurred with Gty Manager Brady regarding the work done by staff on the project. She noted that she got the agenda on Friday and was expected to make a decision by Tuesday. She further noted that staff had the project for a year and expected her to make a wise PAGE 10 - PLANNING OOMMISSION MINUTES - February 1, 2005 decision, but it was not enough time for her. She stated that maybe she agreed with the applicant and maybe she agreed with the attorney, but she did not know. She asked why she did not have two weeks to review the project, but only a weekend. She did not agree with pushing things along, and what would two weeks hurt? She stated that she may be out voted but at least she had her say.

Sumner Avenue. uty Manager Brady provided a brief overview of the proposed project and requested Planning Technician Hennings review the project with the Commission. Planning Technician Hennings provided an overview of the proposed project summarizing the location and features of the homes. She indicated that the project was located in the Lake Elsinore Historic Overlay District, which discourages the garage from being the prominent feature of the home. She indicated that staff recommended that the long driveway in Plan 2 not be allowed due to the location and aesthetics. Mike Casmire, 32726 Wesley, Wlldomar, stated that the homes in the proposed project were nice and affordable, and that the applicant did good work Commissioner Uhlry noted his concern with the driveway. He clarified the price range of $300,000 and $350,000. Commissioner Gonzales clarified that the driveway was not recommended by staff and asked if it would be removed from the plan. Deleo Hagan, 280 Walnut Hill, San Marcos, stated that issue regarding the driveway was recently presented to him and moving it would hinder the sale of the property. Commissioner Gonzales noted that there was concern regarding the driveway as presented in the plan. PAGE 3 - PLANNING CDMWSSION MINUTES - February 15, 2005 There was discussion regarding the layout of the property and the driveway condition. There was further discussion regarding the future impacts the driveway would have on the property and the future widening of Pottery St. Conunissioner Larimer had no questions. Chairman LaPere concurred with Conunissioner Uhlry's comments and staff's recommendation. He noted the General Plan Update was in process to address future issues regarding street widening, open spaces, recreation, etc. He further noted that the driveway presented potential safety concerns. He indicated that the Gty would be asking for trouble if they did not consider the future widening of Pottery St. and the effects it would have on the driveway and the property owner. He agreed with staff's recommendation. Chairman LaPere addressed page 3 of 42, paragraph one, and requested clarification for the term "... residences generally comply with the Historic Elsinore Design Guidelines."

Chairman LaPere reiterated his agreement with staff's recommendation as to the modification of the driveway on Plan 2. Planning/ Code Enforcement Manager Villa noted that upon review of the Conditions of Approval, it was determined that a condition requiring the MSHCP fee was absent.

City Manager Brady provided a brief overview of the project and requested Associate Planner Coury review it with the Commission and answer questions.

He noted that the variance was in relation to the overall height, number, and square footage ofthe freeway pylon signs. He indicated that the freeway elevation and the pad elevation differed by 25 feet, and the applicant was requesting the increase in height due to the addition of the Target sign to the pylon sign. The intent of the variance was to allow the Target sign to be included on the Home Depot sign in order to decrease the total number of signs on the project site.

She stated that she could not support the variance, but the design was nice. Chairman LaPere requested a motion to continue the item to a future date to allow for refinement of the proposed sign program. He requested a comparison of this sign to the Costco/Lowe's sign. Associate Planner Coury stated that Costco had two freeway pylon signs that were 61 feet high and a twelve foot difference between pad and freeway elevation.

He further noted that the density was low to medium residential and that there were four architectural styles proposed in the project. He indicated that there would be a Community Park and a Home Owners Association. He stated that the outstanding issue in the initial study for this project was the question as to whether Una Lane was a private or public street. He referred to an exhibit which identified Una Lane offered as a street dedication that the City had not yet accepted, but could accept in the future. He noted that a neighborhood meeting had been conducted. David Leonard, Wesco Homes, stated that he had nothing to add or change in the staff report. He requested a change in Condition No. 74, page 31 of99 to read "In the event that downstream flood control facilities will not accept increased runoff, the applicant shall provide for detention of storm water run off greater than the existing unimproved condition.

Assistant City Attorney Miles provided an explanation about the offer of dedication that was made on Ulla Lane and rejected by the City. He further explained that the street would remain private until the City accepted the offer of dedication. He noted that the City can accept the dedication and make it a public street. He clarified that under Code 710 of the Subdivision Map Act, in the event the offer of dedication was rejected by the City, Ulla Lane was technically a public street until such time as the City accepted the dedication because the road had been used for the duration of time since the City's rejection of the dedication.

He noted that the project may not be good for the neighborhood, but for different reasons than those presented by the residents. Chairman LaPere addressed traffic and safety issues. Agenda Item No. Page of PAGE 4 - PLANNING CD:MMISSIONMINUfES - June 21, 2005 Associate Planner Coury confirmed that staff was comfortable with the traffic analysis conducted by the City. Chairman LaPere noted that the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan was in the process of being updated, however until the City Council acted on the update, Planning Commission actions would be based on the current General Plan. He further noted safety concerns as a main issue of the Commission. He addressed the issue regarding the public vs. private street, and noted that the City could accept the dedication and make the necessary improvements. Chairman LaPere addressed the possibility of an emergency gate located at the end ofUlla Lane. Associate Planner Coury noted that the Fire Department would require the gate to be an exit only, which would restrict the use of the gate to Collage Lane property owners only. Dave Leonard, Leonard & Associates stated that his position was neutral regarding the gate on Ulla Lane and stated that he would work with staff to resolve the issue. Associate Planner Coury addressed Condition No, 59 on page 29 of99. Vice Chairman O'Neal noted that the R-I standard should be applied.

He further noted the concerns local neighborhood residents had with access and circulation as it related to the proposed project. He noted that staff had met with the applicant who was proposing a gated system to address those issues. He stated that staff supported the project with unrestricted access, however staff did not support the gated system proposed by the applicant. Dave Leonard, Wesco Homes, described the gate system functions and operation. He indicated that the gate would be triggered by a sensor on the street to allow for traffic to exit the tract and would allow access of emergency vehicles with the use of a knox box. He stated that Wesco Homes would support the project with or without the gate, and that they would take direction from the Commission. He requested modification to Condition No.'s 60 and 61 ifthe gate was to be installed due to on-site improvements. He noted the resident's opposition to the park and the proposed modifications to the area if the park was eliminated from the project. He noted that the average lot size without the park would be 6,371 square feet and the Tiller Lane lots were 6,000 square feet as per R-l requirements. He stated that the current average lot size for the project was 5,441 square feet. He requested that Condition No. 74 on page 34 of 105 be amended to clarify the language of the filtration basin design.

Pat Kilroy, 3940 Ulla Ln., Lake Elsinore City employee, stated that Ulla Lane was a private street, but Wavecrest and Tiller Ln. were public streets. He indicated that he did not fully understand the operation of the proposed gate; however he supported the egress gate, private park and Ulla Ln. remaining a private street. Mary Lewis, 3820 Ulla Ln., noted that staff had not met with the residents since the last Planning Commission Meeting. She stated that the issues mentioned at that meeting were not addressed. She stated her opposition to the widening ofUlla Ln. She indicated that the developer brought revised plans to the McDorman home. She detailed her concerns with the project and traffic impacts.

He stated that the park should remain in the plan and that the City should not accept the Agenda Item No. Page of PAGE 4 - PLANNING CD:MMISSIONMINUfES -July 19, 2005 street dedication. He stated his opposition to the egress gate because it pushed traffic in different directions. He further stated his support of the park because taking it out of the plan would take it away from the neighborhood kids. He addressed the possibility of a Neighborhood Watch system to take care of park situations. He noted that the residents were responsible people who cared about their surroundings; therefore they were apt to take care of it. He stated that the City may not accept dedication of the street for some time in the future. He indicated that this project would not be a win-win for everyone, but any property owner has a right to develop their property. He further indicated that the Commission intended to accommodate as many people as they could, but some failure to do that is inevitable. He noted that he was trying to make the best of the present situation. Commissioner Gonzales clarified as to the location of the model homes.

He provided a brief explanation of the issues surrounding the location of the street and the alignment as it affected the Dejong property. He referenced a letter to Riverside County Transportation and Land Agenda Item No. Page of PAGE 9 - PLANNING CDMMISSIONMINUIES -July 19,2005 Management Agency addressing the alignment of Bundy Canyon Rd, written by then City Engineer Seumalo. He stated that if the alignment went through the Dejong property, it would eliminate any development on the property referenced in this project. Commissioner Gonzales clarified the location of the alignment. City Manager Brady stated that if they bring the street through the property at a point that staff is not recommending, it would not be in alignment and it would be crossing the Dejong property. He indicated that the City would be responsible for purchasing the Dejong property if the road was not in alignment, thereby crossing the Dejong property. He indicated that a recommendation was brought to the County with the recommendation of an alignment designed that would require some property to be acquired as part of this project. Property owners who want to develop the property need the City to recommend where the connection from the East Lake Specific Plan to Bundy Canyon would be, which is near Cereal. Vice Chairman O'Neal stated that it was his understanding that Mr. Dejong would not mind selling his property for that street alignment. He stated his support for the design of the project. He noted his concern with the County's lack of input to solve this problem. He proposed continuing the item until all agencies involved could meet and resolve the issues surrounding the project. Commissioner Larimer stated her support for the design. Chairman LaPere noted his concern with the alignment of Bundy Canyon and how it relates to costs and sale of land in order to make the connection at Cereal St. He noted his support for the project. He further noted his concern with Mr. Dejong's desire to work with the City to sell his property to the City in order to make the connection at Cereal St. He stated that it could affect the applicant as well as other property owners. He suggested continuing the item until all agencies could meet in order to address the issues regarding the proposed alignment and connection. Vice Chairman O'Neal noted that the decision to delay was difficult to make, however there were long term benefits to establishing the answers prior to approval of the project. Alan Young clarified that if the alignment was with Cereal St, it would not require property from Mr. Dejong. He eXplained why the alignment with Cereal St. was preferable to him. He noted that it would be more optimal from a traffic perspective. He noted that Lumos Communities also preferred alignment with Cereal St. He stated that the proposed project was consistent with the City's best interest. He indicated that there would be a benefit to Mr. Dejong, because the alignment would offer his property extensive frontage on the future Bundy Canyon Rd. Agenda Item No. Page of PAGE 10 - PLANNING COMMISSIONMINUIES -July 19, 2005 Vice Chairman O'Neal addressed the potential for litigation with the County at the last minute, as with the Laing Homes project. Alan Young indicated that the County had been completely non-committal in the numerous meetings they have attended to address this project. He reiterated that the County was solicited, but did not take action on this project so the City went forward with what would be best for all parties involved. Planning Manager Preisendanz stated that Traffic Engineer Mackey attended several meetings with the County. He further indicated that there was support expressed by the County at some meeting and non-support at other meetings. He noted that staff supported the alignment with Cereal St. He reference the letter sent to the County by then Engineering Manager Seumalo requesting their feedback, with no response from the County. He stated that staff supported the alignment location as presented and in Specific Plan Amendment No.8. He noted other projects which would be positively impacted by the proposed alignment. Chairman LaPere stated that the County may feel pressured to commit to a decision if the project was continued. He noted that delaying the project due to the County's hesitation may encourage them to decide on the alignment. Alan Young stated that if the project were approved, it would encourage the County to make a decision. Chairman LaPere stated that it would cause the opposite. Vice Chairman O'Neal concurred with Mr. Young that an approval may push the County to make a decision. He suggested that the parties involved meet over the course of a couple of weeks to further discuss it, however if the consensus was that time would be wasted by a continuance, he would support the project moving forward. Alan Young concurred. City Manager Brady clarified that the County did not comment on the project. Planning Manager Preisendanz confirmed that the County did not respond. He noted the several meetings with the County in which they flipped their support and non-support. There was further discussion regarding the factors involved with the decision to approve or delay the project to a future date. Agenda Item No. Page of PAGE 11- PLANNING CDMMISSIONMINU1ES -July 19, 2005 City Manager Brady stated that the County may sue the City; however the staff did their due diligence in working with the County. He indicated that the County did not have the right to dictate the City's land uses. Planning Manager Preisendanz indicated that two weeks would not change the status of the County's lack of response to the proposed alignment. Chairman LaPere asked City Manager Brady ifhe believed that the County would respond in the next two weeks. City Manager Brady stated that since the project would move forward to the City Council, it would be unfair to the applicant to delay the project the additional time. He noted that the City had the right to develop their properties without the County's permission. Vice Chairman O'Neal concurred with City Manager Brady. He reiterated that he had suggested a two week delay in order to assist in solving the problem with the County. Alan Young provided a brief history of the inception of the project from December, 2004. He stated that meetings with the County have delayed the project up until the present time and he was concerned that the County would delay it further if they were given more time to respond. Chairman LaPere clarified that the applicant had been meeting with the County for this project since December. Alan Young confirmed. Chairman LaPere clarified if it was appropriate to approve the project pending a response from the County. City Attorney Miles confirmed that it would be appropriate and recommended that the Commissioners entertain approval of the project in accordance with staffs recommendation, with direction to see what could be accomplished.

She indicated that approval of SPA 8 would extend the alignment of Diamond Drive to Corydon and Interstate 15 through Bundy Canyon Rd., as indicated in SPA 7. She noted that SPA 8 proposed to reduce the number of dwelling units from 2,255 units to 1796; eliminate the four acres of commercial uses and increase the amount of open space acreage from 87.8 to 197.8 acres. She indicated that the applicant intended to use the additional open space as active recreation and has allowed, by CUP, the possibility of Skylark to continue their operations at that location and the motocross park to possibly apply for a CUP and continue their operation. She addressed the alignment of Bundy Canyon Rd. and stated that staff met with Riverside County several times. She indicated that the County emphasized that Dejong Dairy Farm was not a possible route to 1-15. She noted the alternative plan incorporated into the project.
