DISCUSSION
Background
Tract 3096 is a subdivision of a property known as San Luis Ranch. In 2017, a Tentative
Map was submitted to the City, and proposed the creation of 304 lots consisting of:
1. 282 single family residential lots
2.Two multi-family residential lots
3. 14 park lots
4.One open space lot
5.One agricultural land lot
6.Three commercial lots
7.One lot to be used for a required Agricultural Heritage and Learning Center
Construction of the improvements began in 2019 and is still ongoing.
Partial Acceptance of a Portion of Improvements
The improvements within the subdivision will consist of new street construction, three new
roundabouts, medians, curb, gutter, sidewalks, Class 1 multi-use paths, streetlights,
domestic water and recycled water mains, sewer mains, fire hydrants, storm drain
improvements, and landscaping. Thus far, work has been completed for some of the
required public improvements including the domestic and recycled water mains and the
sewer collection system.

Item 5h
The recommended action includes the acceptance of the completed items, reduces the
securities for the work that is completed, and authorizes the Public Works Direct or to
accept the remaining public improvements once they are deemed complete and to
release the remaining securities on behalf of the City Council once the work is completed.
Previous Council Action
The Tentative Map for Tract 3096 was approved by City Council on July 18, 2017 by
Resolution No. 10822 (2017 Series).
A supplemental Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was approved by City Council
on July 17, 2018 by Resolution No. 10927 (2018 Series).
A Development Agreement with the Subdivider was approved by City Council on August
21, 2018 by Ordinance No. 1649 (2018 Series).
The final map for Tract 3096 was approved by City Council on November 27, 2018 by
Resolution No. 10961 (2018 Series).
Policy Context
The City Council accepts public improvements and certifies completion of private
improvements in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Subdivision
Regulations.
Public Engagement
The Public Engagement process was completed with the approval of the Tentative Map.
CONCURRENCE
The Public Works Director and the Utilities Director concur with the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The San Luis Ranch Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment, Vesting Tentative Tract
Map 3096 and related entitlements and the associated Final Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) and Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan were approved and certified on July
18, 2017 (Resolution 10822, 2017 Series). On July 17, 2018, the City Council approved
an amendment to the San Luis Ranch Specific Plan, approved the Development
Agreement to implement the project, and certified the associated Final Supplemental EIR
and modified Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan (Resolution 10927, 2018 Series).
Ordinance 1649 (2018 Series) was adopted by the City Council on August 21, 2018
approving the Development Agreement. The necessary findings and environmental
review requirements related to the development of Tract 3096, including associated
improvements, were made with the Specific Plan, Development Agreement, and tentative
map approvals; therefore, no further environmental review is required as part of this
Council action.

Typical maintenance and operation of newly accepted public facilities will be required for
the street and utility improvements. Increasing the maintenance budget for the small,
incremental increase in infrastructure to be maintained does not occur with each
acceptance of public facilities. The maintenance budget for the improvements is
evaluated and adjusted as needed with the City’s adoption of its two -year financial plan,
which will reflect the increased need in maintenance cost.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could reject the staff recommendation delegating the authority to the Public
Works Director to accept the remaining improvements and require that the acceptance
be returned to a future Council meeting for acceptance by the City Council. This
alternative is not recommended because the oversight by the Public Works Director will
ensure that all improvements are completed to City standards prior to the release of
financial guarantees. Ultimately, acceptance of the public improvements is required in
accordance with the Tentative Map approvals, Department of Real Estate process
assumptions, and Homeowners Association CC&R’s.
