Hi Shawn,
Will you be providing me with a revised report? I would like to move forward with
completing the City’s analysis, so I can get ready to submit the Joint Project Review

Shawn,
There is no misunderstanding. I know that only a dedication of right-of-way is required
and there will be no requirement to improve the road within the onsite
riparian/riverine and CDFW jurisdictional area. However, when RCA reviews your
report and sees the site plan, they will not know this. They will reach the conclusion
that this area is impacted by the project.
Therefore, your report still needs to be revised to be clear that although the proposed
Victorian Lane right of way dedication alignment is located within the onsite
riparian/riverine and CDFW jurisdictional areas and shown on the site plan, no impacts
to these areas are proposed by the project (i.e., construction of street improvements
or grading) and will not be required by the City.

Hello, Richard.
Thank you for your prompt review. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding
regarding the proposed project. Although the proposed Victorian Lane right of way
dedication alignment is located within the onsite riparian/riverine and CDFW
jurisdictional areas, no impacts to these areas are proposed by the project (i.e.,
construction of street improvements or grading). Further, no improvements are
required to these areas as conditions of approval by the City. Therefore, the biological
assessment does not require a discussion of impacts to these areas.
If you have further questions regarding this matter, I would be happy to set up a call
with you and the project team to discuss.
Thanks again!

Hi Shawn,
I finished my review of the updated biological assessment and have a few
comments/requested revisions. Most of the changes relate to the fact that the current
site plan no longer shows that the 0.15 acre CDFW jurisdictional area is being avoided.
(It’s now part of required right-of-way dedications.) The update of the biological
assessment did not include the necessary revisions to reflect this change in the site
plan. I tried to catch all the places that need to be revised, but you should us the below
revisions as a starting point, and double-check your report to catch any other places
that need to be revised, that I may have missed.
Page 3 – Section 1.2 Project Description, last sentence, “The proposed development
will impact approximately 17.52 acres of the project site” is incorrect. The revised site
plan impacts the entire project site. (i.e., 17.67-acre project site.)
Page 15 – Section 5.1 (Impacts to Existing Habitats) – This section needs to be amended
to show entire site being impacted.
Page 15 - Section 5.5 (State and Federal Drainages) - This discussion needs to be
revised since the current site plan does not avoid the 0.15-acre CDFW jurisdictional
area.
Page 17 – Section 6.1.2 discussion, 2nd sentence. Delete the sentence that “The
project has been designed to avoid this area of the project site.”
Page 17 – Section 6.1.4 Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines also needs to discuss the
following topics: Lighting, Noise, Barriers and Grading/Land Development.
Page 18 – Drainage discussion – Revise references to onsite riparian/riverine areas to
reflect that the onsite riparian/riverine areas will be impacted by the project.
Figure 5 – Habitat Impacts Map – Needs to be revised to show that the 0.15 Acre CDFW
Jurisdictional Area will be impacted. (Correct the label for this area too.)
Let me know if you have any questions regarding these required revisions.

Thanks for the update, Kevin.
Shawn is scheduled to send over our updated BIO report today which should
satisfy the LEAP requirement.
Scott, what is the status of the WQMP review?

Good afternoon,
I just wanted to let you know no additional information is required to complete your
application at this time. Prior to scheduling a hearing, both the LEAP/JPR process and
CEQA review will need to be completed prior to setting a hearing date for your
application. It’s also my understanding that engineering reports (preliminary hydro,
geo, and WQMP as well as traffic/VMT) are in review; these will all need to be
accepted/approved by Engineering Division before CEQA is finalized.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kevin Beery

Received, thank you. I will contact you if anything else is needed.
Could you advise what the status of your LEAP application is? This and the JPR will need
to be completed before we can wrap up CEQA work.
