204 Lots, to the Development Agreement for the Ramsgate Specific Plan
Applicant:SPT-AREP III Tuscany Associates LLC
Recommendation
Introduce by title only and waive further reading of AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
RAMSGATE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCLUDING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 33725 (DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2022-02).
Background
On June 20, 1990, the City approved and adopted the Ramsgate Development Agreement (DA),
which was recorded on June 27, 1990. The original Ramsgate DA covered 1,190 acres of the
overall 1,291-acre “Ramsgate Specific Plan” (RSP), a planned development community site now
known as Rosetta Canyon.
On September 26, 2006, the City Council approved Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2006-04
(SCH No. 2006071012), General Plan Amendment No. 2006-05, Pre-Annexation Zone Change
No. 2006-05, Zone Change No. 2006-07, Ramsgate Specific Plan No. 89-1 Fifth Revision,
Annexation No. 76, and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 33725 for the subdivision of a 52.7-acre
site into 221 single-family residential lots, five (5) water quality basins, 21 open space lots, and a
storm drain easement/pedestrian paseo.
DA 2022-02 (Ramsgate First Amendment)
Page 2 of 5
As amended in 2006, the RSP includes eleven Tentative Tract Map (TTM) Nos. 25472 through
25479, 30698, 34231, and 33725. Of these TTMs, Nos. 30698 and 33725 (each approximately
50 acres in size) were never made subject to the Ramsgate DA. The proposed First Amendment
is intended to make TTM No. 33725 subject to the Ramsgate DA.
SPT-AREP III Tuscany Associates LLC (SPT) is the successor in interest and assignee of all of
the rights, title, interests, and obligations in the Ramsgate DA to the extent such rights, title,
interests, and obligations relate to TTM No. 25475. SPT is also the owner of TTM 33725.
Between 2003 and 2022, the City and various successors in interest to Rialto, including SPT,
executed nine operating memoranda of understanding (OMOU) pursuant to Section 7.3 of the
Ramsgate DA. Among other things, these OMOUs extended the term of the Ramsgate DA,
consistent with Section 10 (Permitted Delays).
The following summarizes the specific extensions provided by the nine OMOUs to the Ramsgate
DA:
1. The First OMOU between the City and White Rock (2003), extending the effective period
for all TTMs until June 27, 2007.
2. The Second OMOU between the City and White Rock (2006), extending the effective
period for TTM Nos. 25473, 25475, and 34231 until June 27, 2010.
3. The Third OMOU between the City and Centex Homes (2006), extending the effective
period for TTM Nos. 25476 through 25479 until June 27, 2010.
4. The Fourth OMOU among the City, Centex Homes, and Richmond American Homes of
Maryland, Inc. (RAH) (2010), extending the effective period for TTM Nos. 25476 through
25479 until June 27, 2012.
5. The Fifth OMOU among the City, SPT, and MBK Homes Ltd. (MBK) (2010), extending the
effective period for TTM Nos. 25473, 25475, and 34231 until June 27, 2012.
6. The Sixth OMOU between the City and SPT (2011), extending the effective period for TTM
Nos. 25473 and 25475 until December 31, 2022.
7. The Seventh OMOU between the City and RAH (2012), extending the effective period for
TTM Nos. 25476 through 25479 until June 27, 2016.
8. The Eighth OMOU between the City and MBK (2012), extending the effective period for
TTM No. 34231 until June 27, 2016.
9. The Ninth OMOU between the City and SPT (2022), extending the effective period for
TTM No. 25475 to the earlier of either (1) 48 months after SCE is able to provide necessary
power to serve TTM No. 25475 or (2) December 31, 2027.
10. The Tenth OMOU between the City and Hill Country S.A., Ltd., a Texas limited partnership
(doing business in California as Hill Country S.A., L.P.) and American Superior Land, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company (collectively “Richland”) (2022), extending the
effective period for TTM No. 25473 to the earlier of either (1) 48 months after SCE (as
defined below) is able to provide necessary power to serve TTM No. 25473 or (2)
December 31, 2027.
DA 2022-02 (Ramsgate First Amendment)

Planning Commission Action
At the December 6, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant explained that they have
diligently attempted to complete development of TTM Nos. 25475 and 33725. However, they were
informed by Southern California Edison (SCE) in February 2022 that SCE’s existing power grid
has insufficient capacity to serve TTM Nos. 25475 and 33725 and that design and construction
of the necessary infrastructure to provide sufficient power will take 3 to 5 years. The Planning
Commission voted unanimously 5-0 to adopt a resolution recommending approval of the
Development Agreement (First Amendment) for the Ramsgate Specific Plan.
Discussion
As originally approved, TTM 33725 was a subdivision of 52.7 acres into 221 single family
residential lots, 5 water quality basins, 21 open space lots, and a storm drain easement/pedestrian
paseo. As amended in 2021 (Revision No. 1), the subdivision now includes the construction of a
sewer lift station on Lot 205, offsite sewer line extension, construction of a water pipeline
extension along Greenwald Avenue, and modifications to the intersection of the proposed D
Street and Little Valley Road and the intersection of Little Valley Road and Greenwald Avenue.
To accommodate the new roadway alignment, the residential lots in the subdivision have been
reconfigured, and the overall total is reduced to 204 lots. TTM 33725, Revision No. 1 now reflects
a subdivision of 52.7 acres into 204 single family residential lots, three (3) water quality basins,
15 open space lots, and one (1) sewer lift station. TTM 33725 is located west of Greenwald
Avenue and south of Little Valley Road within Ramsgate Specific Plan (APNs: 349-240-006, 043
thru 047, 054, 055, 056, 349-380-024 and 025).
As approved in 2006, TTM No. 33725 had a 2-year effective period. It subsequently received 8.5
years of state-law legislative extensions and 6 years of discretionary, City-approved extensions,
which have extended its effective period until March 26, 2023. The proposed First Amendment
to the Ramsgate DA would vest the development rights under TTM 33725 for an approximate five
(5) year term expiring not later than December 31, 2027, unless the agreement is terminated,
modified, or extended upon mutual written consent. The proposed First Amendment would
memorialize the following:
Vested Rights: The First Amendment provides certainty in the development process by
vesting the development rights under Tentative Tract Map 33725 consistent with the
conditions of approval and subject to the City’s existing land use regulations. During the
term of the First Amendment, TTM 33725 will be exempt from newly adopted City land
use regulations and fees.
Existing Development Impact Fees: During the five (5) year Term of the First Amendment
to the Ramsgate DA, the City shall impose and the Developer shall be required to pay
only existing development impact fees at the prevalent rate in effect at the time of the
issuance of each building permit or other time of payment required by applicable City
ordinance or resolution. No new categories of development impact fees will be imposed
on the Project during the Term of the Ramsgate DA.
DA 2022-02 (Ramsgate First Amendment)
Page 4 of 5
Non-Vested Fees:, The Developer will be required to pay development permit application
processing fees and charges, storm drain fees, TUMF, MSHCP, SKR and impact fees,
exactions, assessments or fair share charges or other similar fees or charges imposed by
other governmental entities regardless of whether the City is required to collect or assess
such fees (e.g., school district impact fees pursuant to Government Code Section 65995)
at the prevailing rate at the time such fees are due.
Payment of a Development Agreement Fee. A $5,500/unit Development Agreement Fee
shall be paid upon issuance of each residential building permit to be used by the City in
its discretion for the construction of capital facilities.
The applicant has diligently attempted to complete development of TTM 33725. However, TTM
33725 cannot be developed at present because Southern California Edison’s (SCE) existing
power grid has insufficient capacity to serve the map. SCE has stated that design and construction
of the necessary infrastructure to provide sufficient power will take 3 to 5 years (2025-2027).
Because SCE’s inability to provide power, the applicant has requested that TTM No. 33725 be
made subject to the Development Agreement, including the provisions of Section 8.5, which
provide that “the term of any subdivision map or parcel map” subject to the Development
Agreement “will be extended for the term of this agreement.” This First Amendment expands the
geographical boundary of the Development Agreement to include TTM 33725 and extends the
effective period of TTM No. 33725 consistent with Section 8.5 of the Development Agreement.
The proposed First Amendment will facilitate the development of TTM No. 33725 and will provide
development agreement fees of approximately $1,122,000 for construction of future capital
facilities. The First Amendment has been reviewed City Attorney and is consistent with and meets
all legal requirements of State Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5 and the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 19.12 regulating development agreements.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no new environmental documentation is necessary
because all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and none of the conditions described in Section 15162 exist.
The City previously performed environmental review in compliance with CEQA when it approved
the Development Agreement and first amendment to the Specific Plan in 1990 based on a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH 88090525); approved TTM 33725 in 2006,
based on a Mitigated Negative Declaration (No. 2006-04); and approved modifications to TTM
No. 33725 in 2021 based on an Addendum.
DA 2022-02 (Ramsgate First Amendment)
Page 5 of 5
This First Amendment does not propose any changes to the Project and will not have any
significant direct, indirect, or cumulative environmental impacts apart from or beyond those
already analyzed, addressed, and mitigated as stated in the environmental documentation
prepared and adopted/approved for TTM No. 33725. All potentially significant impacts have been
avoided or mitigated pursuant to the earlier environmental impact report and none of the
conditions in Public Resources Code Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163
and 15164 calling for preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report
have occurred because of the following: (i) the Project does not propose substantial changes that
would require major revisions to the previously certified EIR and subsequent Addendum due to
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant environmental effects; (ii) no substantial changes in circumstances have
occurred that require major revisions to the previously certified EIR and subsequent Addendum
due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects; and (iii) no new information of substantial importance as described in
Section 15162 (a)(3) has been identified that shows any of the following: (a) one or more
significant effects not discussed in the EIR, (b) significant effects previously examined that are
substantially more severe than shown in the EIR, (c) mitigation measures or alternatives
previously found not to be feasible are in fact be feasible and substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the Project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative, or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different
from those analyzed in the EIR and subsequent Addendum substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the Project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary.
Fiscal Impact
The time and costs related to processing this application have been covered by application fees
paid for by the applicant. No General Fund budgets have been allocated or used in the processing
of this application. In addition to the citywide development impact fees to be paid by the project,
TTM 33725 shall pay a $5,500 Development Agreement Fee for each residential building permit
(approximately $1,122,000). TTM 25473 (164 units) and TTM No. 25475 (131 homes) also pay a
$5,500 per residential unit Development Agreement Fee.

Section 1. CEQA Determination. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no new
environmental documentation is necessary because no changes to the project are proposed and
all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) and none of the conditions described in Section 15162 exist. The City

Page 2 of 5
No. 33725 in 2021 based on an Addendum. The First Amendment will not have any significant
direct, indirect, or cumulative environmental impacts apart from or beyond those already
analyzed, addressed, and mitigated as stated in the environmental documentation prepared and
adopted/approved for TTM No. 33725. All potentially significant impacts have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to the earlier environmental impact report and none of the conditions in Public
Resources Code Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163 and 15164 calling
for preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report have occurred
because of the following: (i) the Project does not propose substantial changes that would require
major revisions to the previously certified EIR and subsequent Addendum due to new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
environmental effects; (ii) no substantial changes in circumstances have occurred that require
major revisions to the previously certified EIR and subsequent Addendum due to new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; and (iii) no new information of substantial importance as described in Section 15162
(a)(3) has been identified that shows any of the following: (a) one or more significant effects not
discussed in the EIR, (b) significant effects previously examined that are substantially more
severe than shown in the EIR, (c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible are in fact be feasible and substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
project, but the Project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d)
mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the
EIR and subsequent Addendum substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the Project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE AND RIALTO
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, WHICH DOES BUSINESS AS LD
JOHNSON COMPANIES, FOR RAMSGATE
This First Amendment (“First Amendment”) to the Development Agreement between the
City of Lake Elsinore (“City”) and Rialto Development Corporation (“Rialto”), which does
business as LD Johnson Companies, for Ramsgate (“Development Agreement”), is entered into
by and among the City, SPT-AREP III Tuscany Associates, LLC (“SPT”) and Hill Country S.A.,
Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (doing business in California as Hill Country S.A., L.P.) and
American Superior Land, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively “Richland”),
as of the Effective Date (defined below). The City, SPT and Richland are referred to individually
as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
The City, SPT and Richland enter into this First Amendment with reference to the
following facts, each of which are acknowledged as true and correct:
A. On June 20, 1990, the City approved and adopted the Development Agreement,
which was recorded on June 27, 1990 in the Official Records of Riverside County, California as
Instrument No. 237507.
B. The original subject of the Development Agreement concerned approximately
1,190 acres of the 1,291-acre “Ramsgate Specific Plan” (“SP”), a planned development
community located within the City, principally within Township 5 South, Range 4 West, San
Bernardino Baseline and Meridian, which has increased in acreage since the 1990s.
C. As amended in 2006, the SP includes eleven tentative tract maps (“TTMs”):
Nos. 25472 through 25479, 30698, 34231, and 33725. Of these TTMs, Nos. 30698 and 33725
(each approximately 50 acres in size) were never made subject to the Development Agreement.
This First Amendment is intended to make TTM No. 33725 subject to the Development
Agreement.
D. White Rock Acquisition Company, L.P. (“White Rock”) became the successor in
interest to Rialto with respect to the SP, and White Rock also became the assignee of all of Rialto’s
rights, title, and interests in the Development Agreement.
Attachment 2 - First Amendment Ramsgate DA.pdf -2-
E. SPT became the successor in interest to White Rock with respect to TTM Nos.
25473 and 25475, and SPT also became the assignee of all of White Rock’s rights, title, interests,
and obligations in the Development Agreement to the extent such rights, title, interests, and
obligations relate to TTM Nos. 25473 and 25475. In May 2011, SPT conveyed all of its interests
in TTM No. 25473 to Richland.
F. On September 26, 2006, the City approved TTM No. 33725, which is held by SPT.
On or about the same time, the City approved (1) General Plan Amendment No. 2006-05, (2)
Specific Plan Amendment No. 89-1 (Fifth Revision), (3) Zone Change No. 2006-05, and (4) Zone
Change No. 2006-07, which, among other things, incorporated TTM No. 33725 into the SP as
Planning Area 10 (collectively, the “2006 Development Approvals”).
G. Between 2003 and 2022, the City and various successors in interest to Rialto,
including SPT, executed nine operating memoranda of understanding (collectively, the
“OMOUs”), consistent with Section 7.3 of the Development Agreement (“Operating Memoranda
and Amendments”). The OMOUs are summarized hereinbelow and incorporated herein by
reference. Among other things, these OMOUs tolled the Development Agreement’s 15-year
effective period, consistent with Section 10 (“Permitted Delays”), extending the effective period
for TTM No. 25475 to not later than December 31, 2027. The following summarizes the specific
extensions provided by the OMOUs:

v The Fifth OMOU among the City, SPT, and MBK Homes Ltd. (“MBK”)
(2010), extending the effective period for TTM Nos. 25473, 25475, and
34231 until June 27, 2012.
vi The Sixth OMOU between the City and SPT (2011), extending the effective
period for TTM Nos. 25473 and 25475 until December 31, 2022.
vii The Seventh OMOU between the City and RAH (2012), extending the
effective period for TTM Nos. 25476 through 25479 until June 27, 2016.

effective period for TTM No. 34231 until June 27, 2016.
Attachment 2 - First Amendment Ramsgate DA.pdf -3-
ix The Ninth OMOU between the City and SPT (2022), extending the effective
period for TTM No. 25475 to the earlier of either (1) 48 months after SCE
(as defined below) is able to provide necessary power to serve TTM No.

subsequently received 8.5 years of state-law legislative extensions and 6 years of discretionary,
City-approved extension, which have extended its effective period until March 26, 2023.
I. SPT now desires to amend the Development Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3
and Government Code section 65868 in order to include the 2006 Development Approvals,
including TTM 33725, as part of the Project as defined in the Development Agreement, subject to
all conditions of approval of TTM 33725 and such future discretionary approvals of the City
required in order to complete the Project.
J. Nearly all of the SP has been developed, except for Richland’s TTM 25473 (164
units) and SPT’s TTM Nos. 25475 (131 homes) and 33725 (204 homes). Richland has diligently
attempted to complete development of TTM No. 25473 and SPT has diligently attempted to
complete development of TTM Nos. 25475 and 33725. However, TTM Nos. 25473, 25475 and
33725 cannot be developed at present because Southern California Edison’s (“SCE”) existing
power grid has insufficient capacity to serve these TTMs. SCE has stated that design and
construction of the necessary infrastructure to provide sufficient power will take 3 to 5 years (2025-
2027).
K. In recognition that SCE’s delayed ability to provide power constitutes a condition
beyond the Parties’ control, SPT and the City executed the Ninth OMOU and Richland and the
City executed the Tenth OMOU to extend the effective period of the Development Agreement
until the earlier of either (1) 48 months after SCE is able to provide necessary power to serve SPT’s
TTM Nos. 25475 or Richland’s TTM 25473, respectively, or (2) December 31, 2027.
L. Because SCE’s inability to provide power equally affects TTM No. 33725, SPT
requested that TTM No. 33725 be made subject to the Development Agreement, including the
provisions of Section 8.5, which provide that “the term of any subdivision map or parcel map”
subject to the Development Agreement “will be extended for the term of this agreement.” This
First Amendment expands the geographical boundary of the Development Agreement to include
TTM 33725 and extends the effective period of TTM No. 33725 consistent with Section 8.5 of
the Development Agreement.
