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,

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.
