REPORT-IN-BRIEF The subject project is before the City Council to take action on a request for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTM#3083) subdividing up to 77 lots to include 1 lot for 105 condominium units, 67 single-family detached units and 9 lots for open space, parks and a street extension. The proposed project is located in the Orcutt Planning Area, and subject to the standards of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP). This application includes a series of proposals for architectural design, site planning of residential uses, parklands, open space, and circulation improvements. The plans and the project description are detailed in Attachments C and D. Environmental review was conducted by “tiering” off the 2010 Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the OASP, and supplementing this analysis with a project-specific 2016 Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-MND), which includes a series of mitigation measures for approval of the West Creek project (Attachment E). The proposed tentative subdivision and development plans have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission, Architectural Review Commission (conceptual review) and the Planning Commission. Each Commission has recommended approval of VTM#3083, as detailed in the Planning Commission materials included as Attachments F, G and H. DISCUSSION Background The proposed subdivision includes the following key land use features: 1. 67 single-family detached residential lots/units 2. 1 lot to include a condominium project of up to 105 units 3. 3 creek corridor lots 4. 5 open space and parkland lots 5. 1 lot for future extension of “A” Street 1 Packet Pg. 11 Proposed Project Gross Acreage Commercial Land Uses Residential Land Uses Proposed Parks & Open Space West Creek VTM # 3083 18.3 acres none proposed 67 single family units 105 multi-family units 172 total residential 1.65 acres Parks-Trails 0.70 acres HOA Commons 2.80 acres Open Space 5.15 acres (28.1%) CEQA review for this proposal involved use of the 2010 Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) certified by the Council for the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP). Although primarily a “program level” EIR, this document included several “project-related” mitigation measures that are being applied to this project as reflected in Attachment A. 1 Packet Pg. 12 Planning Commission Review Planning Commission (PC) review occurred on April 13, 2016. Following that hearing, the Commission voted 3-1 (Riggs, Dandekar and Fowler absent) to recommend approval of the West Creek project by adoption of their Resolution No. 1005-16, included as Attachment F. Key issues addressed by the Planning Commission included: 1. Parking Space Reductions in the Multi-Family Residential (MFR) Neighborhood due to Added Bicycle Parking and the Implementation of a Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDMP). 2. Energy Conservation Techniques. 3. Requirement that any secondary access provided for VTM#3083 meet all engineering design standards and be open and useable as a standard city street. (See staff notes below). 4. Parkland Fee Credits for providing public park space. The Planning Commission also recommended that attention be given to methods to reduce the retaining wall heights proposed on the preliminary grading plan for the project. The Planning Commission also reviewed and discussed the proposed pool for the multi-family residential neighborhood and felt that consideration should be given to deferring or eliminating the pool considering the water situation in the area. Project Description The project proposes a range of housing sizes and styles within three general housing product types, including traditional detached single-family homes (23), small-lot single- family parkway homes (44), and condominiums with studios and one-bedroom and two-bedroom units (total of 105). Traditional SFRs (23) Parkway Homes (44) Condominium Units (105) 1 Packet Pg. 13 Of the 172 proposed residences, 10 are provided as affordable housing under City Housing Element requirements. Consistent with OASP land use designations, areas generally north of the East Fork of Orcutt Creek are developed with multi-family units at densities anticipated in the R- 4 zone. Areas south of the creek are developed with small-lot single-family homes, appropriate for their R-2 designation and with a variety of home options and styles provided for first-time home buyers and move-down buyers. Within the single-family traditional product, the lot sizes range from 4,500 square feet to 7,239 square feet. The single-family traditional lots are intended to serve multi-generational living through flexible floor plan layouts, including optional attached secondary dwelling units. The parkway single-family lots range between 3,500 square feet to 4,436 square feet. A number of amenities are associated directly with the multi-family condominiums, providing these occupants the opportunity to engage with neighbors and enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle encouraged under the OASP. A 1,950 square-foot clubhouse is proposed between Buildings C & F on the north side of the riparian corridor for the condominiums. The clubhouse will provide usable indoor space for different activities and events, as well as a bike service facility. Other amenities include tables and BBQ facilities with views of the creek corridor. In addition to the residential units, the project includes significant park and open space areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and traffic calming features to promote the pedestrian friendly environment envisioned by the OASP. Park and open spaces areas include the western extent of the site and Orcutt Creek as it crosses the site from east to west which achieves multi - purpose/multi use functions. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, and opportunities for a community garden, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. These areas would also be directly accessible to the existing mobile home park residents to the west and homes to the north, which are currently considered underserved by parks. In addition to the community park and open space areas, ample parkways are provided in the southern portion of the project as neighborhood commons among the units. Attachment C is the applicant’s proposed “Project Description”. The aplicant is proposing to dedicate about 1.65 acres of city parks as part of their 5.15 acres of parks and open space. As discussed below, the applicant is seeking a credit against OASP parklands acquisition and improvemnent fees. Vesting Tract Map #3083 (West Creek) The proposed project includes residential land uses that provide a mix of housing types and varieties anticipated by the OASP and General Plan Housing Element, and designed to meet today’s needs for households in the San Luis Obispo area. Density and land use patterns are consistent with the expected ranges of new housing units for the subject properties, as detailed in the Planning Commission staff report of April 13, 2016 (Attachment G). Affordable housing requirements will be met by the provision of ten (10) units on-site for qualifying families. These 1 Packet Pg. 14 units are dispersed throughout the multi-family neighborhood along Orcutt Road. VTM# 3083 is included as Attachment D. Community Design The proposed project has been reviewed twice by the Architectural Review Commission, and is recommended for approval by the Commission. Their suggestions for internal access and connectivity, as well as varieties of architectural design and buildings placement are incorporated into the project plans included as Attachment D. Final Design Review will be a collaboration between the ARC and Community Development Director. Conditions recommended for the project include a protocol for final design review at ARC of “model” home building proposals, with direction given to staff to finalize building plans at the staff/construction level of detail. Open Space Conservation and Recreation Improvements VTM#3083 provides permanent preservation of the creek corridors located on the property, consistent with OASP goals and programs in this regard. As proposed, the open space and parks proposed for West Creek represent 5.15 acres or about 28% of the total site area. Permanent management measures are included for privately owned areas by the Master Homeowner’s Association for the property. The Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) has reviewed the project twice, and is recommending approval to Council for the initial project design. The final proposed park improvements will be reviewed by the PRC with its recommendations forwarded to Council for final action, should VTM#3083 be approved. 1 Packet Pg. 15 Attachment I (Applicant Parks Credit Proposal) includes the applicant’s detailed proposal and rationale for the requested credits. Following analysis by the PRC, they agreed that some credit was appropriate, but that final design review would be needed to be more specific. Based on that recommendation, and the applicant’s analysis that as proposed West Creek would generate about $250,000 more in parklands fees than estimated under the OASP Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP), Condition 112 was drafted and presented to the Planning Commission to establish an upper threshold of $250,000 in credits, depending on the final design. Reasoning for this is that such a credit would not adversely impact the PFFP resources to complete the planned parklands under the OASP. This condition would set a threshold, but would not preempt the applicant from proposing an alternate financing plan under other VTM#3083 conditions as proposed. Transportation Systems The primary feature of the West Creek transportation system is the northerly extension of “A” Street to Orcutt Road. This primary collector road provides the singular access point to Orcutt Road from the northern portion of the OASP. Internal streets provide a pattern of access consistent with the OASP policies and programs for circulation. Trails and bike paths are also included in the project design, again, consistent with directives of the OASP, as reflected in the following OASP Circulation Plan, Figure 5.1. West Creek Project Site VTM#3083 1 Packet Pg. 16 Project Phasing The final map for VTM#3083 will be recorded on a single map. The West Creek project, however, will be developed in several smaller phases for infrastructure and buildings construction. The construction phases are summarized in three (3) basic stages in the following graphic: the first phase beginning with the multi-family condominium development area, which would likely continue throughout the course of construction on the site. Phases 2 and 3 are the single-family neighborhoods, which would be developed in a sequence to meet the project conditions and mitigation measures. Total project buildout will take several years to complete, depending on the absorption rate of new homes on the site and city-wide housing trends. OASP Policy Consistency The project has been carefully reviewed for consistency with OASP policies, in order to present a project that meets the intent of the Specific Plan and fully implements the goals for development of the Orcutt Area. The Planning Commission staff report for April 13, 2016 1 Packet Pg. 17 (Attachment F) goes into greater detail of this policy review. The following summarizes OASP Policy Consistency: 1. Conservation of Open Space and Natural Resources: OASP policies are largely focused on protection of creeks, wetlands-riparian-sensitive habitats and visual resources. VTM#3083 is consistent with these policies by setting aside the creek channels that run though the project site as permanent open space, providing for habitat restoration and enhancement on the property in areas adjoining these open space areas, pro tects sensitive visual features and complies with detailed programs for building design and placement to limit massing and heights to maintain area vistas and important visual features, such as views to Righetti Hill. Open space and parklands (at 5.15 acres or 28% of the site) are proposed in excess of minimum standards of the OASP. 2. Recreation: OASP policies call for the lion share of public parks to be provided within the central areas of the Orcutt Area, primarily located on the Righetti Ranch project (VTM#3063, approved in 2015). However, the applicants have presented plans for both private parks and facilities and additional public parklands within their development that would significantly exceed minimum OASP policies. 3. Land Use and Development Standards - Community Design: VTM#3083 is a residential subdivision of mixed densities, addressing OASP policies governing a variety of housing types integrated and dispersed within each neighborhood. The proposed single-family and multi-family preliminary building designs have been reviewed by the ARC and are recommended for approval. These designs, which will undergo additional review should the project be approved, are consistent with the architectural design standards of the OASP. Special setbacks and height limitations to augment the conservation and visual protection policies noted above have also been incorporated into the proposed residential units. Project density, including the provision of affordable housing units, is at the high end of the expected density range established under the OASP, again, consistent with these policies for providing for new units and a variety of housing types. 4. Lot Configurations and Circulation Patterns: The tract design has been carefully balanced between various site constraints (such as creek corridors, site slopes, open space restrictions, grading and OASP circulation patterns) to result in a well thought out configuration of proposed residential lots and units. Site grading is designed to “balance” on site, eliminating the export of any excess dirt, consistent with OASP landform and environmental protection policies. OASP policies regarding the extension of major collector and arterial streets leading through the West Creek site have been aligned with nearby existing development along Orcutt Road, as well as planned future projects, such as the southerly adjoining Wingate tract. Pedestrian and bicycle trails are extended through the proposed tract to, again, tie into existing city facilities and planned development within the OASP. During their April 13th review, the Planning Commission discussed the issue of secondary access to the West Creek project as required by Fire codes and regulations. During their discussion the Commission recommended that should secondary access be provided, that this access be open to general public use, rather than closed off via a gate 1 Packet Pg. 18 or bollard system. Staff has since met with the applicants, Fire and Transportation staff, and come to the conclusion that secondary access to Orcutt Road is inconsistent with OASP policies otherwise limiting such connections to Orcutt Road, and that secondary access is not required for the subdivision given the internal network of access and connections to adjoining projects as they develop. On this basis, the Commission’s recommendation is rendered unnecessary, and Conditions #10 and #100 have been recommended to be deleted as provided for in Attachment B (Draft Resolution). 5. Public Utilities and Services: As proposed and conditioned, VTM#3083 has provided for the installation of all public utilities to serve the project, consistent with OASP policies. Phasing of the development project has been identified with a program for bringing on- line such improvements as water supply, wastewater collection and conveyance lines, extension of recycled water into the tract, and circulation systems noted above. To the extent required, for improvement of this project, any off-site utility and infrastructure improvements to serve the future homes will be coordinated with adjoining development and existing city infrastructure, and timed under the phasing and construction management plans to insure completion as needed for new residential homes. As designed and conditioned, the subdivision design is directed at meeting fire codes, law enforcement, health and waste management standards and requirements, and are consistent with OASP policies and city building codes. CONCURRENCES The City’s Development Review Team has reviewed the project and have provided comment s that are incorporated into the staff report and recommended resolution as conditions of approval and code requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW As mentioned above, CEQA review for this proposal involved use of the 2010 Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) certified by Council for the OASP. Although primarily a “program level” EIR, this document included several “project-related” mitigation measures that are being applied to these projects as reflected in Attachment A. In addition to the FEIR, a project-specific Initial Study (IS) was conducted for the application (Attachment E), which led to a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The combined 2016 IS-MND is also recommended for approval as part of Attachment A. As of the date of preparation of this report, no comments had been received on the proposed MND. Staff will provide Council any materials and a response to comments should any be received prior to the Council hearing. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the project will not have a significant fiscal impact on City budgets, with the possible exception of future parks and open space maintenance. Generally, new revenues derived from these projects will accrue to the General Fund to provide overall resources to support future city residents. In the case of OASP parks and open space, city management and maintenance of these areas will incur future costs, depending on the final designs of these areas. 1 Packet Pg. 19 These costs will be detailed further at the time of consideration of a final map for the project. Generally, the project would be responsible for reimbursing costs for future processing, subdivision and development consistent with the mitigation and conditions of a final approval. The OASP anticipates subdivision and development of these properties in a coordinated manner. The OASP “Public Facilities Financing Plan” (PFFP) is designed to accommodate public infrastructure improvements throughout the planning area and will insure the completion of said infrastructure as different projects proceed on their own timelines. As proposed and conditioned, the West Creek subdivision and development project will implement the OASP goals and policies by constructing necessary infrastructure and parks consistent with the financing policies of the OASP. ALTERNATIVES 1. Deny the VTM#3083. Findings of the City Council concerning such a recommendation will need to be developed if this alternative is selected. 2. Continue the item. An action to continue the item should include a detailed list of additional information or analysis required.

Trucks transporting material shall be tarped from the point of origin. AQ-3(d) Dust Control Monitor. On all projects with an area of disturbance greater than 1 acre, the contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and to order increased watering as necessary to prevent transport of dust off-site. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods when work may not be in progress. • AQ-3 Monitoring Program: These conditions shall be noted on all project grading and building plans. The applicant will also be required to secure necessary permits from the Air Pollution Control Board (APCD) before the onset of grading or demolition activities including, but not limited to additional dust control measures, evaluation for Naturally Occurring Asbestos. The applicant shall present evidence of a plan for complying with these requirements prior to issuance of a grading or building permit from the City. The applicant shall provide the City with the name and telephone number of the person responsible for ensuring compliance with these requirements. The Building Inspector and Public Works Inspectors shall conduct field monitoring. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES MITIGATION BIO-1 If vegetation clearing, grading or demolition of any existing structures is to occur during the nesting bird season (February 15 to September 15), the applicant should retain a qualified biologist to conduct a nesting bird survey. If active bird nests are detected the following measures should be implemented: a. The project should be modified or delayed as necessary to avoid direct take of bird species protected under the MBTA; b. A qualified biologist should establish an appropriate buffer zone around active nest sites. Construction activities in the established buffer zone should be prohibited until the young have fledged the nest and achieved independence; and, c. The qualified biologist should document all active nests and submit a letter-report to the County, USFWS, and CDFW, documenting project compliance with the MBTA and applicable project mitigation measures. BIO-2 If demolition of any existing buildings or structures is to occur, a qualified biologist should survey structure(s) to determine the presence/absence of roosting bats within the existing structures. Should no roosting bats be present, exclusionary measures shall be 1.a Packet Pg. 24 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 5 R ______ implemented to preclude roosting prior to demolition. If active roosting is identified, the project should be delayed until the biologist can confirm that the roosting bats have evacuated the structures on their own accord. BIO-3(a) Construction Requirements. Development under the Specific Plan shall abide by the requirements of the City Arborist for construction. Requirements shall include but not be limited to: the protection of trees with construction setbacks from trees; construction fencing around trees; grading limits around the base of trees as required; and a replacement plan for trees removed including replacement at a minimum 1:1 ratio. BIO-4(c) Riparian/ Wetland Mitigation. If riparian and/or wetland habitat are proposed for removal pursuant to development under the Specific Plan, such development shall apply for all applicable permits and submit a Mitigation Plan for areas of disturbance to wetlands and/or riparian habitat. The plan shall be prepared by a biologist familiar with restoration and mitigation techniques. Compensatory mitigation shall occur on- site using regionally collected native plant material at a minimum ratio of 2:1 (habitat created to habitat impacted) in areas shown on figure 4.4-2 as directed by a biologist. The resource agencies may require a higher mitigation ratio. If the Orcutt Regional Basin is necessary as a mitigation site for waters of the U.S. and State it shall be designed as directed by a biologist taking into consideration hydrology, soils, and erosion control and using the final mitigation guidelines and monitoring requirements (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2004). As noted above, the trail shall be setback out of the buffer area for riparian and wetland habitat. BIO-5(a) Bird Pre-Construction Survey. To avoid impacts to nesting special-status bird species and raptors including the ground-nesting burrowing owl, all initial ground- disturbing activities and tree removal shall be limited to the time period between September 15 and February 1. If initial site disturbance, grading, and tree removal cannot be conducted during this time period, a pre-construction survey for active nests within the limits of grading shall be conducted by a qualified biologist at the site two weeks prior to any construction activities (for ground-nesting burrowing owl survey see below). If active nests are located, all construction work must be conducted outside a buffer zone of 200 feet to 500 feet from the nests as determined in consultation with the CDFG. No direct disturbance to nests shall occur until the adults and young are no longer reliant on the nest site. A qualified biologist shall confirm that breeding/nesting is completed and young have fledged the nest prior to the start of construction. BIO-5(b) Burrowing Owl Survey. When an applicant requests entitlements from the City under the Specific Plan a qualified biologist shall conduct surveys for burrowing owls during both the wintering and nesting seasons (unless the species is detected on the first survey) in potentially suitable habitats prior to construction in accordance with the guidelines described in the CDFG Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (1995). Winter surveys shall be conducted on the entire project site between December 1 and February 1, and the nesting season survey shall be conducted between April 15 and July 15. If burrowing owls are detected within the proposed 1.a Packet Pg. 25 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 6 R ______ disturbance area, CDFG shall be contacted immediately to develop and implement a mitigation plan to protect owls and their nest sites. BIO-5(c) Monarch Pre-Construction Survey. If initial ground-breaking is to occur between the months of October and March a pre-construction survey for active monarch roost sites within the limits of grading shall be conducted by a qualified biologist at the site two weeks prior to any construction activities. If active roost sites are located no ground-disturbing activities shall occur within 50 feet of the perimeter of the habitat. Construction shall not resume within the setback until a qualified biologist has determined that the monarch butterfly has vacated the site. BIO-5(d) VPFS Sampling Surveys. Prior to development in areas shown as potential VPFS habitat on Figure 4.4-2, current USFWS protocol level sampling surveys shall be conducted in all such areas. A report consistent with current Federal, State, and local reporting guidelines shall be prepared to document the methods and results of surveys. If VPFS are found, the report shall include a map that identifies the VPFS locations. Should the presence of additional special-status wildlife species be determined including California linderiella, a map identifying locations in which these species were found shall be prepared and included in the report. BIO-5(e) FESA Consultation and Mitigation Regarding VPFS. If any VPFS individuals are located onsite pursuant to Mitigation Measure B-5(d), substantial setbacks from their identified habitat shall be implemented to avoid take of a Federally listed species. If complete avoidance is not economically or technically feasible, then Section 10 of the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) shall be used to authorize incidental take when no other Federal agency such as the Corps is involved. This process include development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for protecting and enhancing the Federally listed species at a specific location in perpetuity. Species take can also be authorized under Section 7 of the FESA if a Federal agency is involved in the project (e.g., Corps Section 404 permitting for impacts to waters of the U.S. and/or Federal funding) and agrees to be the lead agency requesting Section 7 consultation. This consultation process takes at a minimum 135 days from the official request by the Federal lead agency. The compensatory mitigation ratio shall be determined by the appropriate resource agencies. Suitable replacement habitat shall be constructed either within the site boundaries or offsite. [OASP FEIR] Figure 4.4-2 identifies areas that could be appropriate for onsite VPFS mitigation. Figure 4.4-2 is not intended to preclude development but shall be used as a starting point for incorporating VPFS mitigation sites into the development plan. While the Orcutt Regional Basin included in the potential VPFS mitigation sites may need regular maintenance and may be seasonally flooded, depressions could be created on the upper edges of the terrace in such a manner that they are protected from flooding. VPFS mitigation areas shall be approved by a biologist familiar with VPFS habitat “creation” techniques. Enhancement of the onsite seasonal freshwater wetland habitat that is undisturbed by project activities may also be a part of the mitigation program. Alternatively, fairy shrimp cysts could be collected during the dry season from the existing habitat and placed into storage. Topsoil could also be removed and stored in conditions suitable 1.a Packet Pg. 26 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 7 R ______ to retain cysts. Wetland habitat could be enhanced/created in the areas shown on Figure 4.4-2 by grading depressions in the landscape and “top dressing” the depressions with the preserved topsoil. Preserved cysts would be added to the recreated wetlands in December or January, after sufficient ponding has occurred. It is important to note that VPFS habitat mitigation is still considered experimental. VPFS habitat mitigation is ambitious as it is costly, labor intensive, and difficult to ensure success. Habitat may be “created” only in an existing vernal pool landscape that provides suitable soils and a number of other specific ecological factors (USFWS, 2004). An alternative to onsite mitigation is the purchase of mitigation bank credits. Credits can be purchase by the acre as suitable mitigation for VPFS. There is currently no known mitigation bank with VPFS habitat occurring within San Luis Obispo County, however, mitigation banks may be available in the future.  BIO-3a, BIO-4c, BIO-5 Monitoring Program: Monitoring will include Natural Resources Department staff consultation and implementation at time of review and prior to approval of grading plan(s) and during tract construction (B-3a, B-4c, B-5). BIO-6(a) Minimized Roadway Widths. Roadway widths adjacent to riparian and wetland habitats shall be reduced to the minimum width possible, while maintaining Fire Department Requirements for emergency access, with slower speed limits introduced. Posted speed limits should be 25 mph. BIO-6(b) Culvert Design. Although closed culverts are to be the drainage conveyance method of last resort per the City Waterways Management Plan, where they are required, culverts connecting the Plan Area drainage corridors with upstream and downstream drainage corridors shall be evaluated during the suitability analysis pursuant to Mitigation Measure B-5(a) to determine their importance to wildlife who could use them to travel to and from the site. If culverts are found to be of importance to wildlife, the culverts shall be evaluated for their potential for improvement (i.e. retrofitting, maintenance, or specific improvements depending on the types of species using them). The development pursuant to the Specific Plan and the City shall develop a plan for the improvement of the culverts. Preservation of the wildlife corridors that are present on the project site can be achieved with sufficient setbacks from riparian and wetland habitats. Refer to B-4 for mitigation regarding riparian and wetland habitat setbacks. BIO-6(c) Educational Pet Brochure. Any development pursuant to the Specific Plan shall prepare a brochure that informs prospective homebuyers and Home Owners Association (HOA) members about the impacts associated with non- native animals, especially cats and dogs, to the project site; similarly, the brochure must inform potential homebuyers and all HOA members of the potential for coyotes to prey on domestic animals. 1.a Packet Pg. 27 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 8 R ______ BIO-6(d) Landscaping Plan Review. To ensure that project landscaping does not introduce invasive non-native plant and tree species to the region of the site, the final landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified biologist. The California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) maintains several lists of the most important invasive plants to avoid. The lists shall be used when creating a plant palette for landscaping to ensure that plants on the lists are not used. The following plants shall not be allowed as part of potential landscaping plans pursuant to development under the Specific Plan: • African sumac (Rhus lancea) • Australian saltbush (Atriplex semibaccata) • Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) • California pepper (Schinus molle) and Brazilian pepper (S. terebinthifolius) • Cape weed (Arctotheca calendula) • Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster pannosus), (C. lacteus) • Edible fig (Ficus carica) • Fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) • French broom (Genista monspessulana) • Ice plant, sea fig (Carpobrotus edulis) • Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) • Myoporum (Myoporum spp.) • Olive (Olea europaea) • Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), and Andean pampas grass (C. jubata) • Russian olive (Elaeagnus angusticifolia) • Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) and striated broom (C. striatus) • Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) • Tamarix, salt cedar (Tamarix chinensis), (T. gallica), (T. parviflora), (T. ramosissima) • Blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) • Athel tamarisk (Tamarix aphylla) • BIO-6 Monitoring Program: Compliance with mitigation measures will be reviewed with landscaping plans as part of the architectural review submittal and ultimately shown on improvement plans and construction drawings. CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION CR-1(d) Archaeological Resource Construction Monitoring. At the commencement of project construction, an orientation meeting shall be conducted by an archaeologist for construction workers associated with earth disturbing procedures. The orientation meeting shall describe the possibility of exposing unexpected archaeological resources and directions as to what steps are to be taken if such a find is encountered. The City should consider retaining a Chumash representative to monitor any field work associated with Native American cultural material. 1.a Packet Pg. 28 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 9 R ______ If human remains are exposed, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.  CR-1(d) Monitoring Program: Requirements for cultural resource mitigation shall be clearly noted on all plans for project grading and construction. DRAINAGE AND WATER QUALITY MITIGATION D-2(a) Vegetative and Biotechnical Approaches to Bank Stabilization. Vegetative or biotechnical (also referred to as soil bioengineering) approaches to bank stabilization are preferred over structural approaches. Bank stabilization design must be consistent with the SLO Creek Stream Management and Maintenance Program Section 6. Streambank stabilization usually involves one or a combination of the following activities:  Regrading and revegetating the streambanks to eliminate overhanging banks and create a more stable slope;  Deflecting erosional water flow away from vulnerable sites;  Reducing the steepness of the channel bed through installation of grade stabilization structures;  Altering the geometry of the channel to influence flow velocities and sediment deposition;  Diverting a portion of the higher flow into a secondary or by-pass channel;  Armoring or protecting the bank to control erosion, particularly at the toe of slopes. The bank stabilization design will:  Be stable over the long term;  Be the least environmentally damaging and the “softest” approach possible;  Not create upstream or downstream flooding or induce other local stream instabilities;  Minimize impacts to aquatic and riparian habitat. 1.a Packet Pg. 29 At t a c h m e n t : a - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a d o p t i n g t h e M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 10 R ______ D-2(c) Riparian Zone Planting. The OASP proposes riparian enhancement of creek corridors. Section 11 guidelines of the SLO Creek Drainage Design Manual shall be followed for riparian areas that are modified, created and/or managed for flood damage reduction, stream enhancement, and bank repair. Linear park terrace vegetation, streambank repair and channel maintenance projects may require stream channel modifications that include shaping, widening, deepening, straightening, and armoring. Many channel management projects also require building access roads for maintenance vehicles and other equipment. These construction activities can cause a variety of impacts to existing sensitive riparian and aquatic habitat that, depending on the selected design alternative, range from slight disturbances to complete removal of desirable woody vegetation and faunal communities. In urban areas within the SLO creek watershed, riparian vegetation often provides the only remaining natural habitat available for wildlife populations. D-5(a) Biofilters. The applicant shall submit to the Director of Community Development for review and approval a plan that incorporates grassed swales (biofilters) into the project drainage system where feasible for runoff conveyance and filtering of pollutants. D-5(c) Pervious Paving Material. Consistent with Land Use Element Policy 6.4.7, the applicant shall be encouraged to use pervious paving material to facilitate rainwater percolation. Parking lots and paved outdoor storage areas shall, where feasible, use pervious paving to reduce surface water runoff and aid in groundwater recharge. • D-2a, D-2c, D-5a, D-5c Monitoring Program: Monitoring will include Natural Resources Department staff consultation and implementation at time of landscaping construction plan review and Engineering-Public Works staff at the time of tract construction. NOISE MITIGATION N-1(a) Compliance with City Noise Ordinance. Construction hours and noise levels shall be compliant with the City Noise Ordinance [Municipal Code Chapter 9.12, Section 9.12.050(6)]. Methods to reduce construction noise can include, but are not limited to, the following: • Equipment Shielding. Stationary construction equipment that generates noise can be shielded with a barrier. • Diesel Equipment. All diesel equipment can be operated with closed engine doors and equipped with factory-recommended mufflers. • Electrical Power. Whenever feasible, electrical power can be used to run air compressors and similar power tools. • Sound Blankets.

As conditioned, the design of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed subdivision respects existing site constraints, will incrementally add to the City’s residential housing inventory, results in parcels that meet minimum density standards, and will be consistent with the density, lot sizes and project amenities established by the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP). 2. The site is physically suited for the type and density of development allowed in the R-2-SP and R-4-SP zoning districts. 3. The design of the vesting tentative tract map and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause serious health problems, substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, since further development or redevelopment of the proposed parcels will occur consistent with VTM #3083 and the required architectural review process, which will allow for detailed review of development plans to assure compliance with City plans, policies, and standards. 4. As conditioned, the design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through (or use of property within) the proposed subdivision, and the project is consistent with the pattern of development prescribed in the Orcutt Area Specific Plan. 5. The proposed project will provide affordable housing consistent with the intent of California Government Code §65915, and in compliance with City policies and the Housing Element. 6. The tentative map, as conditioned, will comply with all environmental mitigation measures prescribed herein, and therefore is consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act, the OASP Final EIR, and the Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-MND). 7. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. 1.b Packet Pg. 36 At t a c h m e n t : b - C i t y C o u n c i l R e s o l u t i o n a p p r o v i n g t h e P r o j e c t ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Resolution No. ______ (2016 Series) Page 3 R _______ Conditions: Dedications and Easements 1.

The project is designed as a single project spanning two OASP designated sites totaling 18.29 acres, the Mid-State (076-481-002) and Maddalena (076-481-001) parcels. There are several unique constraints that must be confronted with development of the site, including 52 feet in grade change, two forks of Orcutt Creek which pass through the site, a PG&E easement along the entire southern property line, and OASP requirements to provide vehicle access to future neighboring developments to both the east and south. The combination of the two parcels into a single project creates a more efficient design solution to work with both site opportunities and constraints. The single project solution allows for the target OASP unit count to be achieved while providing additional open space and community amenities. Housing Types The project includes two distinct project areas which provide a wide range of housing types to address needs within the community. All of parcel 076-481-001 is currently zoned by the City as High-Density Residential (R-4). APN 076-481-002 is currently designated as Medium-Density Residential (R-2), with the exception of the northwest corner of the parcel, which is zoned as High-Density Residential (R-4). Consistent with the OASP land use designations, areas generally north of the East Fork of Orcutt Creek are developed with multi-family units at densities anticipated in the R-4 zone, and the areas south of the creek are developed with small-lot single-family homes, appropriate for their R-2 designation. Traditional Homes: The 67 single-family homes in the R-2 zone contain two distinct housing types – traditional (23) and parkway (44). Within the single-family traditional product, the lot sizes range from 4,500 square feet to 7,376 square feet. The single-family traditional lots would serve multi-generational living through flexible floor plan layouts, including optional attached secondary dwelling units. There are three different model types that provide for different preferences, including: 1) Single-story unit with 1,830 square feet (3 bedrooms); 2) Two-story unit with 2,027 square feet (3 bedrooms); 3) Two-story multi-generational units with 2,063 square feet (3 bedrooms), and an optional 450 square-feet efficiency unit for a family member. Parkway Homes: With the parkway homes, the predominant lot size is 3,150 square feet. There are three model types all of which are two stories and include three bedrooms with floor area s ranging between 1,651 to 1,959 square feet. To facilitate neighborhood interaction and provide for communal play areas for children, grand parkways have been incorporated in between 1.c Packet Pg. 56 At t a c h m e n t : c - P r o j e c t D e s c r i p t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) portions of the single-family parkway lots with front porches fronting onto and engaging with these spaces. Multi-Family Units: The condominiums will have seven separate buildings with the same mix of units in each building. There will be five (5) studios, one (1) one-bedroom unit, and nine (9) two-bedroom units in each of the seven buildings. The 105 units are composed of 35 studios, 7 one-bedroom units, and 63 two-bedroom units. The floor area for the one-bedroom units is 703 square feet, and the 2-bedroom townhomes range between 951 to 1,215 square feet. Studio units by City definition need to be 450 square feet or less. A number of high quality amenities are associated directly with the multi-family condominiums, providing these occupants the opportunity to engage with neighbors and enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle encouraged in the OASP as well. A 1,655 square-foot clubhouse is proposed between Buildings C & F on the north side of the riparian corridor. The clubhouse will provide usable indoor space for different activities and events, as well as include a bike service facility. Other amenities include tables and BBQ facilities with views of the creek corridor. Parks & Open Space In addition to the residential units, the project includes significant park and open space areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, trails, and traffic calming features to promote the pedestrian friendly environment envisioned by the OASP. Park and open spaces areas includ e the western extent of the site and Orcutt Creek as it crosses the site from east to west which achieves multi- purpose/multi use functions. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, and opportunities for a community garden, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. These areas would also be directly accessible to the existing mobile home park residents to the west and homes to the north, which are currently considered underserved by parks. In addition to the community park and open space areas, ample parkways are provided in the southern portion of the project as neighborhood commons among the units. Road Infrastructure Proposed road infrastructure includes incorporation of a main collector street (‘A’) that connects to Orcutt Road and in the future will connect to the rest of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan development. Primary street (‘A2’) has been incorporated to provide potential future access needs of other Orcutt Area Specific Plan developments. Secondary streets (‘A3’and ‘A4’) have been incorporated to provide access to the proposed parkway single family and traditional single family lots. In addition, alleys have been incorporated within the parkway family lots for garage access. 1.c Packet Pg. 57 At t a c h m e n t : c - P r o j e c t D e s c r i p t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Project Goals Goals for the West Creek project include but are not limited to:  Meeting the overall goals of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan, as established in connection with the City’s General Plan;  Providing a broad range of residential housing types for both buyers and renters with varying income-levels that meet the City’s overall housing needs;  Protecting and enhancing creek habitat found within the project site area; and  Providing open space and recreational amenities to promote active lifestyles of current and future residents. 1.c Packet Pg. 58 At t a c h m e n t : c -

Description of the Project: The West Creek site will serve as the northern gateway to the rest of the OASP to the south, and has been designed to incorporate attractive open spaces while accommodating the density anticipated by the OASP. These open spaces will connect the OASP neighborhoods to the existing surrounding San Luis Obispo communities and provide both passive and active recreational opportunities for those in the area through planned open space enhancements and appropriate setbacks. Trails meandering through these open spaces provide for non-motorized, inter-neighborhood circulation, while promoting the active, outdoor recreational opportunities encouraged by the OASP. The project proposes a range of housing sizes and styles within three general housing product types, including traditional detached single-family homes (23), small-lot single- family parkway homes (44), and condominiums with studios and one-bedroom and two-bedroom units (total of 105). Of the 172 proposed residences, 10 are provided as affordable housing under City Housing Element requirements. Consistent with OASP land use designations, areas generally north of the East Fork of Orcutt Creek are developed with multi-family units at densities anticipated in the R- 4 zone. Areas south of the creek are developed with small-lot single-family homes, appropriate for their R-2 designation and with a variety of home options and styles provided for first-time homebuyers and move-down buyers. Within the single-family traditional product, the lot sizes range from 4,500 square feet to 7,239 square feet. The single-family traditional lots would serve multi- generational living through flexible floor plan layouts, including optional attached secondary dwelling units. With the parkway homes, the lot sizes range from 3,150 square feet to 4,736 square feet. To facilitate neighborhood interaction and provide for communal play areas for children, grand parkways have been incorporated in between portions of the single-family parkway lots with front porches fronting onto and engaging with these spaces. Outdoor amenities within the single family portion of the site include a number of amenities associated directly with the multi-family condominiums; providing these occupants the opportunity to engage with neighbors and enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle encouraged in the OASP as well. A 1,950 square-foot clubhouse is proposed between Buildings C & F on the north side of the riparian corridor. The clubhouse will provide usable indoor space for different activities and events, as well as include a bike service facility. Other recreational and open space amenities include tables and BBQ facilities with views of the creek corridor. In addition to the residential units, the project includes significant park and open space areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and traffic calming features to promote the pedestrian friendly environment envisioned by the OASP. Park and open spaces areas include the western extent of the site and Orcutt Creek as it crosses the site from east to west which achieves multi- purpose/multi use functions. 1.e Packet Pg. 107 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 3 Proposed Project Gross Acreage Commercial Land Uses Residential Land Uses Proposed Parks & Open Space West Creek VTM # 3083 18.3 acres none proposed 67 single family units 105 multi-family units 172 total residential 1.59 acres Parks-Trails 1.88 acres HOA Commons 1.53 acres Open Space 5.00 acres (27.3%) These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, and opportunities for a community garden and dog off-leash area, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. These areas would also be directly accessible to t he existing mobile home park residents to the west and homes to the north (via and easement), which are currently considered underserved by parks. In addition to the West Creek community park and open space areas proposed with Vesting Tentative Tract Map #3083, ample parkways are provided in the southern portion of the project as neighborhood commons among the units. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Settings: The project site consists of about 18.3 acres, spanning two OASP designated parcels, the Mid- State and Maddalena parcels. The combination of the two parcels into a single project allows for a more complete design solution and efficient development pattern. There are several unique constraints that must be addressed with development of the site, including 52 feet in grade change, two forks of Orcutt Creek which pass through the site, a PG&E easement along the entire southern property line, and OASP requirements to provide vehicle access to future neighboring developments to both the east and south. Immediately to the east of the site are two R-2-SP zoned sites within the OASP that are currently used for suburban residential and intermittent grazing purposes. To the southeast of the site is the Taylor-Wingate development, which is also within the OASP and zoned R-2-SP and R-3-SP. Properties to the north are zoned R-3 and R-1 and are developed with an assisted living facility and single family homes. Properties immediately to the west are zoned R-2 and are developed with mobile homes. 10.

A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 19, "Earlier Analysis," as described in (5) below, may be cross- referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration (Section 15063 (c) (3) (D)). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they addressed site-specific conditions for the project. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance 1.e Packet Pg. 111 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 7 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? 1 --X-- b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, open space, and historic buildings within a local or state scenic highway? 1 --X-- c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? 1 --X-- d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? 1, 2 --X-- Evaluation a) The primary scenic value from within and around the subject site is the view to the east of the Santa Lucia foothills and Righetti Hill to the south. As a road of “moderate scenic value,” development along this segment of Orcutt Road would require a design that preserves vistas and views to the maximum extent possible. The OASP EIR acknowledges that views of the rural residential area to the east would still be maintained from the road, even with proposed development. However, the EIR included programs to fulfill the goal of minimizing impacts to surrounding views. The pertinent programs to this site include: 1. A minimum 20-foot wide landscaped setback along Orcutt Road. 2. ARC review of development plans to insure that the site design preserves views while allowing for reasonable development. 3. ARC approval of landscape plans for the street setbacks that screen development in foreground views, but also maintain backdrop views. 4. Buildings with more than a single story shall be set back at least 50 feet from Orcutt to maintain views. Development plans show a 22 to 28-foot wide landscaped buffer is provided along Orcutt Road and that project buildings will be set back at least 50 feet from Orcutt Road. As suggested in 1 above, Program 2.4.1a of the OASP requires a 20’ landscaped setback along Orcutt Rd. The OASP reference is to establishing a minimum 20’ landscaped zone (or visual “buffer”) between Orcutt Road and the project, with buildings to be set back an additional 30’ for a total of at least 50’. The 22’ “buffer” of landscaping is composed of 8’-14’ of landscaping within the public right-of-way, and another 14’ on private property, making the minimum landscape area 22’. The ARC will review detailed landscaping plans with their final review of project plans after Vesting Tentative Map approval. The tallest buildings in the project are in the R-4 portion of the site closest to Orcutt Road. Because of the grade differential between the street and the building footprint, the new structures with the 50-foot setback will appear to be two stories. Parking will also be recessed below the Orcutt Road right-of-way. With the proposed scale and height of planned development and its distance from the main scenic corridors, the project will not create a substantial adverse effect on a sc enic vista. b) One of the main objectives of the OASP and companion EIR is to protect natural habitats, including creeks, hills, wetlands, and corridors between these habitats. The subject site currently contains a house and several small accessory buildings and in the past has accommodated animal grazing. The site is mostly sloping grassland, but does contain a degraded riparian corridor (East Orcutt Creek). The project site also slopes substantially across the R-2 Multi-Family section, and this slope creates the need to grade these portions of the site, significantly altering natural landforms along the east fork creek corridor. City design policies encourage sensitivity to this type of grading, while acknowledging the need for more landform modifications than might otherwise occur with smaller “infill” projects. While not rising to the level of “potentially adverse environmental impacts”, the grading and associated retaining features will be conditioned to address visual and design considerations as part of final architectural design efforts. Project plans will enhance the corridor and make it a project amenity consistent with policies and guidance provided in the OASP. Therefore, the impact is less than significant for this project. c) The existing visual character of the site will change from semi-rural to an urbanized area, pursuant to and consistent with 1.e Packet Pg. 112 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 8 the objectives of the OASP. The project is required to be consistent with the distribution of land uses and design standards stated in the OASP to ensure that the appearance of the development is acceptable and that no new buildings block scenic views. Therefore, the project as proposed is consistent with the OASP and in this regard is self -mitigating. Through conditions of approval the project will be further required to comply with City codes and standards some of which impact aesthetics. Ultimately the design will require the review and approval of the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) to ensure consistency with the City’s Community Design Guidelines as well as the OASP. Regardless, the proposed development would contribute to the project wide effect on the aesthetic character of the site vicinity through alteration of view-sheds from Orcutt and Tank Farm Roads. The OASP EIR considered this a cumulative significant and unavoidable impact and considered and approved overriding considerations. d) The prior OASP EIR acknowledges that future development pursuant to the OASP will introduce new sources of light, glare and nighttime illumination, as is typical with residential and commercial development. However, the OASP EIR determined that such light and glare impacts can be mitigated to less than significant at the site specific project stage through compliance with lighting design standards set forth in the OASP and with other adopted standards may be applicable by other City regulations. The new light source subject to mitigation will not adversely affect day or nighttime views in the urbanized area. Therefore impacts from new sources of light or glare will be less than significant with mitigation AES-3(a) as specified in the OASP EIR to be implemented through compliance with the OASP Lighting Standards (Program 4.43a addressing light spacing and height, shielding and spillover restrictions). Building and parking lot lighting for the project will also be reviewed and approved by the ARC in compliance with the aforementioned standards of the OASP and Chapter 17.23 of the City’s Zoning Regulations (Night Sky Preservation Ordinance). Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: AES-VTM3083-1 Lighting and Glare. Final Design Review by ARC shall include specific lighting and glare reduction/elimination techniques included with the lighting plans for the project, consistent with OASP Program 4.43a. 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? 1 --X-- b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? 1 --X-- c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use? 3 --X-- Evaluation a) Although the proposed project would permanently convert soils that have been defined by the City as prime agriculture lands, the value of the Orcutt Area’s agricultural land resources, as measured by the LESA Model, is not considered significant. Therefore there is no impact. b) There is no agricultural zoning or Williamson Act Contract in effect on the subject site. c) The project site has been used for grazing in the past and as a residence. The Biological Resources Assessment performed for the site (Source Reference 15) notes that the site has been over-grazed and generally non-productive for agricultural uses. Therefore, this project will not result in any direct loss of productive farmland. Other lands in the vicinity of the projec t site are either already developed, or if within the Orcutt Area Specific Plan and in agricultural use, are slated by the Plan for eventual non-agricultural use whether this project proceeds or not. Therefore, this project has no direct correlation to any planned conversions of farmland to non-agricultural uses. The impacts of conversion of these lands to non-agricultural uses was evaluated both in the environmental documents for the City’s Land Use and Circulation Elements and the OASP as 1.e Packet Pg. 113 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 9 significant, irreversible, adverse impacts that could not be mitigated and the necessary Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted by Resolution No. 10154 (2010 Series) pursuant to CEQA. Nonetheless, policies of the Land Use Element were adopted to help compensate for, and thereby reduce the impacts from productivity lost as a result of the conversions to non-agricultural uses. This project complies with said policies by being consistent with approved land use designations for the site. Thus the impact is less than significant. 3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? 1 --X-- b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? 1 --X-- c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? --X-- d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? --X-- e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? --X-- Evaluation a-e) According to the prior OASP EIR, project construction will generate short -term emissions of air pollutants. Construction-related emissions would primarily be dust (particulates) generated from soil disturbance and combustion emissions generated by construction equipment. Such dust generation was determined to be a potentially short -term significant impact on air quality that could exceed established state and federal thresholds for regional or local air quality or otherwise conflict with City and County air quality plans or programs. In addition, the project site is situated near existi ng residential units thereby potentially exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The OASP EIR also noted long-term (“operation”) air quality impacts would result from on-going emissions generated by the project-related vehicular trips, as well as additional natural gas combustion for space and water heating and additional fuel combustion at power plants for electricity consumption. To reduce vehicular trips associated with the project, the design includes many sustainable features and is not auto-centric. The project includes a network of pedestrian pathways internally throughout that will connect to the property to the south as well as Orcutt Road. The applicant is preparing a trip reduction plan that makes a formal commitment to providing features and amenities in the project to encourage residents to seek alternatives to single passenger trips. These features include , but are not limited to: 1) Bicycle parking in excess of minimum City requirements; 2) Provision of a bicycle care center in the community building that will support and service bicycles; and 3) Use of rideshare and/or FunRide services. Additionally, the project has made a commitment to equipping 100% of the units to potentially use solar systems. The applicant’s commitment to a trip reduction plan (including annual TDMP monitoring and reporting to gauge successful implementation – Reference Source 18), solar power together with conditions of approval assure mitigation measures set forth in the prior EIR are brought forward with this project. The Geology report generated for the project (Earth Systems, 2014, Attachment 5) makes reference to naturally-occurring asbestos in certain rock formations. At this site, the Report identified serpentinite rock of the Franciscan Melange rock units of the general vicinity, a potentially asbestos-bearing rock unit. The Report noted that if excavation into the Franciscan Melange rock units is planned, and serpentinite is encountered, it should be tested to determine if asbestos is present. If asbestos is found to be present, an appropriate mitigation plan will be developed by the Project Soils Engineer -Geologist, and submitted to the City for consideration. Project-specific Mitigation Measure AQ-VTM3083-3 is included to address this potential impact. 1.e Packet Pg. 114 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 10 Thus, the project impact is less than significant with mitigation included. Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: AQ-VTM3083-1 Solar Conduits. Final building construction plans will include needed conduits required for each residential unit for installing a roof-mounted solar system, at the option of each owner. AQ-VTM3083-2 Transportation Demand Management Program (TDMP) Implementation and Monitoring . The TDMP dated 3-14-2016 shall be implemented with CC&Rs for the final map(s) for the proj ect incorporating the various operational and design standards into the project. An “Annual TDMP Effectiveness Report” shall be prepared and submitted to the Community Development Department following the first year of occupancy for residences in the R -4 area, and shall be repeated annually thereafter. The Annual Report shall describe parking management and recommendations to improve the TDMP, subject to approval of the Community Development Director. AQ-VTM3083-3 Naturally-occurring Asbestos. If excavation into the Franciscan Melange rock units is planned, and serpentinite is encountered, work in the vicinity of the find will be temporarily halted and the materials will be tested to determine if asbestos is present. If asbestos is found to be present, an appropriate mitigation plan will be developed by the Project Soils Engineer-Geologist, and submitted to the City Engineer for approval before work in such area(s) may recommence. OASP FEIR Mitigation Measures: The OASP EIR concluded that implementation of the Plan, with mitigation measures AQ- 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3 (d) would reduce the dependence on automobiles and improve energy efficiency decreasing emissions. Operational Phase Mitigation AQ-1(a) Energy Efficiency. The building energy efficiency rating shall be 10% above what is required by Title 24 requirements for all buildings within the Specific Plan Area. The following energy-conserving techniques shall be incorporated unless the applicant demonstrates their infeasibility to the satisfaction of City Planning and Building Department staff: increase walls and attic insulation beyond Title 24 requirements; orient buildings to maximize natural heating and cooling; plant shade trees along southern exposures of buildings to reduce summer cooling needs; use roof material with a solar reflectance value meeting the Environmental Protection Agency/Department of Energy “Energy Star” rating; build in energy efficient appliances; use low energy street lighting and traffic signals; use energy efficient interior lighting; use solar water heaters; and use double-paned windows. AQ-1(b) Transit. Bus turnouts and shelter improvements with direct pedestrian access shall be installed at all bus stops. AQ-1(c) Shade Trees. All parking lots shall include shade trees within the parking area. There shall be at least one shade tree for every six vehicle parking spaces. Construction Phase Mitigation AQ-3(a) Application of CBACT (Best Available Control Technology for construction related equipment). The following measures shall be implemented to reduce combustion emissions from construction equipment where a project will have an area of disturbance greater than 1 acre. 1. Specific Plan applicants shall submit for review by the Community Development Department and Air Pollution Control District (APCD) staff a grading plan showing the area to be disturbed and a description of construction equipment that will be used and pollution reduction measures that will be implemented. Upon confirmation by the Community Development Department and APCD, appropriate CBACT features shall be applied. The application of these features shall occur prior to Specific Plan construction. 1.e Packet Pg. 115 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 11 2. Specific Plan applicants shall be required to ensure that all construction equipment and portable engines are properly maintained and tuned according to manufacturer's specifications. 3. Specific Plan applicants shall be required to ensure that off-road and portable diesel powered equipment, including but not limited to bulldozers, graders, cranes, loaders, scrapers, backhoes, generator sets, compressors, auxiliary power units, shall be fueled exclusively with CARB motor vehicle diesel fuel (non-taxed off-road diesel is acceptable). 4. Specific Plan applicants shall be required to install a diesel oxidation catalyst on each of the two pieces of equipment projected to generate the greatest emissions. Installations must be prepared according to manufacturer's specifications. AQ-3(b) Dust Control. The following measures shall be implemented to reduce PM10 emissions during all Specific Plan construction: 1. Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible. 2. Use water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site. Water shall be applied as soon as possible whenever wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour. Reclaimed (nonpotable) water should be used whenever possible. 3. All dirt-stock-pile areas shall be sprayed daily as needed. 4. Permanent dust control measures shall be identified in the approved Specific Plan revegetation and landscape plans and implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing activities. 5. Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates greater than one month after initial grading shall be sown with a fast-germinating native grass seed and watered until vegetation is established. 6. All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation shall be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the APCD. 7. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc., to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. 8. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site. 9. All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil or other loose materials shall be covered or shall maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114. 10. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site. 11. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water shall be used where feasible. AQ-3(c) Cover Stockpiled Soils. If importation, exportation, or stockpiling of fill material is involved, soil stockpiled for more than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. Trucks transporting material shall be tarped from the point of origin. AQ-3(d) Dust Control Monitor. On all projects with an area of disturbance greater than 1 acre, the contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and to order increased watering as necessary to prevent transport of dust off-site. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods when work may not be in progress. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? 1, 15 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 116 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 12 b) Have a substantial adverse effect, on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? 15 --X-- c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined in Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? 15 --X-- d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? 15 --X-- e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? 1,2,3 --X-- f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? 3 --X-- Evaluation The EIR prepared for the OASP conducted programmatic biological resource impact analyses of special species of plants and animals, and different habitat values, including riparian corridors and wetlands. The OASP incorporated recommended EIR policies and programs. Appendix C of the OASP incorporates mitigation measures to be applied to project approvals consistent with the Specific Plan as applicable. The most significant sensitive natural resource features on the project site are the creek corridors and associated wetland and woodland areas. In order to evaluate t he specific impact of proposed development on the riparian corridors and other portions of the project site, the applicant had a Biological Resources Assessment (BRA) completed by SWCA Environmental Consultants which is dated June 25, 2015 and included as Source Reference 15. a) The BRA documents the existing habitat zones on the project site and includes surveys of special status species of plants and animals. The surveys fulfill the requirements of adopted mitigation measures and concluded that special status species were not present on the site in areas of development. The first two mitigation measures listed below are recommended in advance of construction depending on its timing. b,c,d) East Orcutt Creek flows through the project site. Sheet C5 of the VTM shows that the two riparian open space lots have been created that are numbered 76 & 79. The riparian lot configurations were specifically developed to include the channel area, creek banks, and appropriate setbacks, based on the project engineer’s consultation with the City, including the Natural Resources Manager, and other regulatory agencies. Consistent with OASP policies and development guidance, the riparian corridor will be protected as open space and enhanced with native plantings as appropr iate. This will create a riparian corridor with an improved high habitat value for wildlife species. Therefore, it is not expected that the development would interfere substantially with the movement of any native wildlife species. e) VTM Sheet C3 is the project demolition plan which includes the locations of existing trees and their proposed status with development. The two most common trees shown are willows in the creek corridors and peppers in clusters at scattered locations. Several varieties of ornamental trees are located in the vicinity of the existing house. There are no significant specimen or heritage trees on the property. However, there are some larger oaks that where possible should be saved. The City Arborist will review project plans and evaluate the tree proposals. At the time of submittal of tract improvement plans/grading plans, the Arborist will evaluate final tree removal plans and will provide recommendations on design revisions and/or tree replacement programs to resolve tree remova l. Ultimately, the ARC will weigh in if there are any tree removals shown on plans that the City Arborist objects to. In this context the ARC will have the responsibility to define project grading and/or housing changes to implement final tree mitigations. To the extent this reduces density or site plans, those changes will be evaluated for major or minor modifications to the approved VTM. Therefore, City review processes assure that proposed 1.e Packet Pg. 117 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 13 tree removals will be properly evaluated and project conditions for compensatory tree planting developed if deemed necessary. Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: BIO-VTM3083-1 Tree Retention/Removal. Final Design Review by ARC shall include recommendations from the City Arborist for tree retention and removal, and will define a final land plan with grading and housing placement to address the tree removal and retention options. To the extent this mitigation measure reduces density or alters site plans, those change s will be evaluated for major or minor modifications to the approved VTM. BIO-VTM3083-1 Nesting Bird Survey. If vegetation clearing, grading or demolition of any existing structures is to occur during the nesting bird season (February 15 to September 15), the applicant should retain a qualified biologist to conduct a nesting bird survey. If active bird nests are detected the following measures should be implemented: a. The project should be modified or delayed as necessary to avoid direct take of bird species protected under the MBTA; b. A qualified biologist should establish an appropriate buffer zone around active nest sites. Construction activities in the established buffer zone should be prohibited until the young have fledged the nest and achieved independence; and, c. The qualified biologist should document all active nests and submit a letter-report to the County, USFWS, and CDFW, documenting project compliance with the MBTA and applicable project mitigation measures. BIO-VTM3083-2 Roosting Bats Survey. If demolition of any existing buildings or structures is to occur, a qualified biologist should survey structure(s) to determine the presence/absence of roosting bats within the existing structures. Should no roosting bats be present, exclusionary measures shall be implemented to preclude roosting prior to demolition. If active roosting is identified, the project should be delayed until the biologist can confirm that the roosting bats have evacuated the structures on their own accord. OASP FEIR Mitigation Measures: B-3(a) Construction Requirements. Development under the Specific Plan shall abide by the requirements of the City Arborist for construction. Requirements shall include but not be limited to: the protection of trees with construction setbacks from trees; construction fencing around trees; grading limits around the base of trees as required; and a replacement plan for trees removed including replacement at a minimum 1:1 ratio. Riparian Woodland and Wetland Habitat (OASP) B-4(a) Trail Setbacks. Trails shall be setback out of riparian habitat. The trail shall be a minimum distance of 20 feet from top of bank or from the edge of riparian canopy, whichever is farther. Trails shall be setback from wetland habitat at a minimum distance of 30 feet and shall not be within the buffer. Native plant species that will deter human disturbance shall be planted in the area between the trail and the wetland/riparian habitat including plants such as California rose (Rosa californica) and California blackberry (Rubus ursinus). No passive recreational use shall be allowed in the riparian or wetland habitats or drainage corridors. B-4(b) Development Setbacks. Development that abuts riparian and wetland mitigation areas shall also be setback at least 20 feet, and be buffered by an appropriately-sized fence and/or plants that deter human entry listed in B-4(a). B-4(c) Riparian/ Wetland Mitigation. If riparian and/or wetland habitat are proposed for removal pursuant to development under the Specific Plan, such development shall apply for all applicable permits and submit a Mitigation Plan for areas of disturbance to wetlands and/or riparian habitat. The plan shall be prepared by a biologist familiar with restoration and mitigation techniques. Compensatory mitigation shall occur on-site using regionally collected native plant material at a minimum ratio of 2:1 (habitat created to habitat impacted) in areas shown on Figure 4.4-2 as directed by a biologist. The resource agencies may require a higher mitigation ratio. If the Orcutt Regional Basin is necessary as a mitigation site for waters of the U.S. and State it shall be designed as directed by a biologist taking into consideration hydrology, soils, and erosion control and using the final mitigation guidelines and monitoring requirements (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2004). 1.e Packet Pg. 118 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 14 As noted above, the trail shall be setback out of the buffer area for riparian and wetland habitat. Impacts to Wildlife (OASP) B-5(e) FESA Consultation and Mitigation Regarding VPFS. If any VPFS individuals are located onsite, substantial setbacks from their identified habitat shall be implemented to avoid take of a Federally-listed species. If complete avoidance is not economically or technically feasible, then Section 10 of the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) shall be used to authorize incidental take when no other Federal agency such as the Corps is involved. This process includes development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for protecting and enhancing the Federally-listed species at a specific location in perpetuity. Species take can also be authorized under Section 7 of the FESA if a Federal agency is involved in the project (e.g., Corps Section 404 permitting for impacts to waters of the U.S. and/or Federal funding) and agrees to be the lead agency requesting Section 7 consultation. The compensatory mitigation ratio shall be determined by the appropriate resource agencies. Suitable replacement habitat shall be constructed either within the site boundaries or offsite. B-6(a) Minimized Roadway Widths. Roadway widths adjacent to riparian and wetland habitats shall be reduced to the minimum width possible, while maintaining Fire Department Requirements for emergency access, with slower speed limits introduced. Posted speed limits should be 25 mph. B-6(b) Culvert Design. Although closed culverts are to be the drainage conveyance method of last resort per the City Waterways Management Plan, where they are required, culverts connecting the Plan Area drainage corridors with upstream and downstream drainage corridors shall be evaluated during the suitability analysis pursuant to Mitigation Measure B-5(e) to determine their importance to wildlife who could use them to travel to and from the site. If culverts are found to be of importance to wildlife, the culverts shall be evaluated for their potential for improvement (i.e. retrofitting, maintenance, or specific improvements depending on the types of species using them). The development pursuant to the Specific Plan and the City shall develop a plan for the improvement of the culverts. Preservation of the wildlife corridors that are present on the project site can be achieved with sufficient setbacks from riparian and wetland habitats. Refer to Mitigation Measure B-4 for mitigation regarding riparian and wetland habitat setbacks. B-6(c) Educational Pet Brochure. Any development pursuant to the Specific Plan shall prepare a brochure that informs prospective homebuyers and Home Owners Association (HOA) members about the impacts associated with nonnative animals, especially cats and dogs, to the project site; similarly, the brochure must inform potential homebuyers and all HOA members of the potential for coyotes to prey on domestic animals. B-6(c) Landscaping Plan Review. To ensure that project landscaping does not introduce invasive non-native plant and tree species to the region of the site, the final landscaping plan shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified biologist. The California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) maintains several lists of the most important invasive plants to avoid. The lists shall be used when creating a plant palette for landscaping to ensure that plants on the lists are not used. The full list of plants for this mitigation is included in the summary of mitigation measures at the end of this document. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource as defined in §15064.5. 1,16 --X-- b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5) 1,16 --X-- c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? 1 --X-- d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? 1 --X-- Evaluation a) The project area has been part of two general cultural resource field surveys. There are existing buildings on the site that may be more than 50 years old. Any buildings which are older than 50 years old would be subject to a historic evaluation 1.e Packet Pg. 119 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 15 consistent with the City’s Preservation Program Guidelines. However, photo evaluations conducted for this IS do not suggest any historic features associated with the existing residence to be demolished (Source Reference 16). Under recommended conditions, the project will complete a photo inventory of the buildings prior to demolition. With compliance with the cited mitigation measure, the impact would be mitigated. Therefore, the project impact is less than significant with mitigation included. b,c,d) The project site is located in an area that does not contain any unique geological feature and possesses no known unique paleontological resources. The OASP EIR included an on-site survey of the subject project area and although no historic or archeological resources were discovered, the site was identified in EIR Figure 4.5.2 as an area that would need to be monitored during construction. Development of the site will be subject to construction mitigation monitoring requirements contained in the OASP and OASP EIR to address any unknown subsurface resources which may be discovered during grading operation of the site. Thus, the project impact is less than significant with mitigation included. Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: CR-VTM3083-1 Photo Documentation. Prior to development, a qualified historian shall be retained to conduct a photo documentation of the 50+ year old structures within the West Creek VTM#3083 project using the City’s Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. OASP FEIR Mitigation Measures: CR-1 (d) Archaeological Resource Construction Monitoring. At the commencement of project construction, an orientation meeting shall be conducted by an archaeologist for construction workers associated with earth disturbing procedures. The orientation meeting shall describe the possibility of exposing unexpected archaeological resources and directions as to what steps are to be taken if such a find is encountered. If human remains are exposed, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: 1,5 --X-- I. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. 1,5 --X-- II. Strong seismic ground shaking? 1,5 --X-- III. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? 1,5 --X-- IV. Landslides? 1,5 --X-- b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? 1,5 --X-- c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on or off site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? 1,5 --X-- d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 1802.3.2 of the California Building Code (2007), creating substantial risks to life or property? 4, 5 --X-- e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? 1,5 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 120 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 16 Evaluation a)- d): The OASP EIR found that all the above-stated effects from implementation of both plans would be less than significant and therefore the OASP EIR conducted no further evaluations. There is no new evidence to suggest there would be any site - specific impacts that were not adequately anticipated or evaluated in the prior environmental documents . The preliminary grading plan proposes a substantially balanced cut and fill, minimizes the need for tall retaining walls, and respects site contours. The final grading plan of the proposed subdivision will be in accordance with the Geotechnical Engineer’s recommendations and the California Building Code adopted by the City and modified by City regulations. Thus, the project impact is less than significant. 7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? 1 --X-- b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? 6, 14 --X-- Evaluation In addition to the analysis regarding Air Quality impacts, the OASP EIR also included a discussion of strategies for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and provided a project-specific emissions inventory. The City does not have specific adopted project thresholds for GHGs, but did recently adopt a Climate Action Plan (CAP), which like the aforementioned OASP EIR section on GHGs, provides guidance on project design and other sustainable practices to reduce emissions. The applicant completed a CAP compliance checklist which outlines the many design features of the project that constitute a qualified GHG reduction strategy. Therefore, the project is consistent with EIR guidance on reducing GHGs as well as the CAP; therefore, the impact is less than significant. 8. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project: a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? 1 --X-- b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? 1 --X-- c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? 1 --X-- d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? 1 --X-- e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? 7 --X-- f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? 7 --X-- g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? 7 --X-- h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, 7 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 121 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 17 or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? Evaluation a), b), d): The OASP EIR determined no hazardous materials, substances or waste exist on the subject site. Thus there is no impact. c) The project site is not located within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. Thus there is no impact. e) The project site is not located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. Thus, there is no impact. f) The project site is located in the vicinity of the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, and is subject to the County Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP). In its adoption of the OASP, the City Council found the OASP to be consistent with the ALUP, and ultimately received the endorsement of the Airport Land Use Commission. The OASP includes performance standards for avigation easements for tracts (3.5.2g) and real e state disclosures to potential owners and renters. VTM#3083 conditions of approval are recommended to be included to address these requirements. Therefore, because the subject project and proposed uses and densities are compliant with the OASP, and the project will be conditioned per the OASP performance standards; there is not a significant impact. g) The OASP project and its proposed circulation and land use plan has been reviewed by the Fire Marshal who has recommended conditions of approval which will assure compliance with adopted fire/emergency-related codes. The project as designed will not impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, the adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plans of the City. Thus there is no impact. h) The project site is not in an area identified as subject to wildland fire hazards. Thus there is no impact. 9. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? 1 X b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g. the production rate of pre -existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? X c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream o r river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? 8 X d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on or off site? 8, 10, 11 X e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? 8 X f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?

According to the prior OASP EIR, development associated with the project will require issuance of an NPDES general construction activity storm water permit by the Central Coast RWQCB. The development is subject to the Post Construction Stormwater Regulations as promulgated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Completion of this project would ensure that construction-related discharges are limited or adequately accommodated by properly engineered infrastructure design. Thus, the impact is considered less than significant. Because ongoing use of the project area for residential uses would also increase the potential for discharge of chemicals, oils and fuels, and waste into projected waterways; the requirement for the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be established to greatly reduce the potential for unwanted runoff. Therefore, implementation of the BMPs on the project will reduce the impact to a less than significant level. b) The project will be served by the City’s sewer and water systems and will not use or deple te groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of t he local groundwater table level. Thus, there is no impact. c), d), e) According to the prior OASP EIR, construction of the proposed project as part of the OASP would result in an increase of impervious surfaces that would cause the timing and amount of surface water runoff to increase. However, the project is subject to the revised City Storm Drain Master Plan/Waterway Management Plan that discusses the necessary improvements that would ensure adequate transmission and detention of storm water flow created by any new development and thus potential impacts resulting from increased development–related run-off was determined by the OASP EIR to be less than significant, and no mitigation required. To ensure that runoff levels will be equal to or less than existing levels, al l storm water runoff will be contained in detention facilities and basins within the subdivision and drained at a rate not to exceed the 2-year undeveloped flow rate. The applicant’s engineer has prepared a Stormwater Control Plan for Post Construction Requirements. The design, location, and maintenance of the detention facilities and basins will be subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Thus, the impact of the project is less than significant. g), h), i), j) This development is subject to the OASP, Drainage Design Manual, Floodplain Management Regulations. The project does not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or other flood hazard delineation map or may impede or redirect water flows that will cause a flood hazard to surrounding areas. The drainage analysis shows that the proposed building pads are located above and/or outside the limits of the 100 -year flood event. The subject site is not in a location where it would be susceptible to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. Thus there is no impact. 10. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? 1 --X-- b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? 3 --X-- c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural 1,15 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 123 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 19 community conservation plan? Evaluation a) The project will create a variety of new residential units in accordance with the OASP . Housing product types include traditional detached single-family homes (23), small-lot single- family parkway homes (44), and condominiums with studios and one-bedroom and two-bedroom units (total of 105). Consistent with OASP land use designations, areas generally north of the East Fork of Orcutt Creek are developed with multi-family units at densities anticipated in the R-4 zone. Areas south of the creek are developed with small-lot single-family homes, appropriate for their R-2 designation and with a variety of home options and styles provided for first-time homebuyers and move-down buyers. Therefore, the project will not physically divide an established community because it is a logical and orderly extension of the planned land uses per the OASP and is compatible with established development within the surrounding area. Thus there is no impact. b) The project is planned and designed to be consistent with the OASP land use designations on the site for Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential types, and for residential density ranges for the property. The distribution of units across the site and the lot designs proposed with the subdivision are consistent with the applicable land use designations. Thus, there is no impact. c) The project site is not located within a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Thus, there is no impact. (See related discussion above under Part 4. Biological Resources.) 11. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? 1, 6 --X-- b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? 1 --X-- Evaluation a-b) The project will not conflict with adopted energy conservation plans nor will it promote the use of non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. The future development of the site must comply with the policies contained i n the General Plan Energy Element that states: “New development will be encouraged to minimize the use of conventional energy for space heating and cooling, water heating, and illumination by means of proper design and orientation, including th e provision and protection of solar exposure.” The applicant has made a commitment to equipping 30% of the units to potentially use solar systems. The applicant’s commitment to solar power and the other measures included in the submitted CAP checklist demonstrate how the project will comply with Ene rgy Element policies. The project will also be subject to Architectural Review that will ensure consistency with City energy conservation goals, policies, and regulations. Thus, the project impact is less than significant. c) There are no known mineral resources on the project site that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State. There is no impact. 12. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? 1, 3 --X-- b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? 1 --X-- c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? 1 --X-- d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise 1 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 124 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 20 levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? 7 --X-- 7 --X-- Evaluation a) According to the OASP EIR, the proposed project is located in an area zoned for residential land uses that are predicted to be exposed to traffic noise levels that exceed the Noise Element standard of 60 decibels (dB). This is particularly true fo r lots adjacent to Orcutt Road which functions as a major north-south arterial, connecting Johnson Avenue and Tank Farm Road and carries large volumes of traffic. Consequently, to reduce the effects of such traffic related noise to sensitive residential receptors, the OASP established goals, policies and programs to reduce noise e xposure of new sensitive receptors within the Orcutt Area to meet City Standards. Specifically, the project complies with OASP noise programs as follows: 1) Outdoor activity areas are located internally to the project and are set back from the centerline of O rcutt Road by more than 80 feet. 2) Residential portions of dwellings are set back more than 60 feet from the centerline of Orcutt Road. 3) New construction will comply with requirements for 45 dB interior sound levels through standard construction techniques, consistent with Building Code requirements. b) The project will not expose people to the generation of excessive ground -borne noise levels or vibrations. Thus, there is no impact. c) Site development will result in increases in ambient noise levels, but not to significant levels, since by operation of mitigation requirements set forth in a) above, noise increases that would affect ambient levels are to be reduced to threshol ds determined to be acceptable in residential areas. Therefore, impacts to permanent ambient noise levels are less than significant. d) Project construction or other temporary or periodic noise generation may result in temporary increases (spikes) in ambient noise levels. Since there is no way to predict the origin or duration of these types of noise sources for this development, it can only be regulated if found to be a nuisance by the City’s Noise Ordinance. The project by reference acknowledges that it wil l comply with Mitigation Measure N-1 (a) which references the City’s Noise Ordinance in terms of construction hours and techniques to reduce noise levels. Thus, the impact is less than significant. e) The project is located in the vicinity of the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, and is subject to the County Airpor t Land Use Plan. According to the prior OASP EIR, the project is not within the 60 or 65 dBA -CNEL contour line. The OASP EIR and Plan finds the impact is adverse, but less than significant. OASP FEIR Mitigation Measures: N-1(a) Compliance with City Noise Ordinance. Construction hours and noise levels shall be compliant with the City Noise Ordinance [Municipal Code Chapter 9.12, Section 9.12.050(6)]. Methods to reduce construction noise can include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Equipment Shielding. Stationary construction equipment that generates noise can be shielded with a barrier. 2. Diesel Equipment. All diesel equipment can be operated with closed engine doors and equipped with factory- recommended mufflers. 3. Electrical Power. Whenever feasible, electrical power can be used to run air compressors and similar power tools. 4. Sound Blankets. The use of sound blankets on noise generating equipment. 1.e Packet Pg. 125 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 21 13. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either direc tly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? 1 --X-- b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? 1 --X-- 1 --X-- Evaluation: a) The added population growth caused by this project is within the General Plan’s projection and will n ot result in population exceeding local and regional growth projections. Therefore, the impact of inducing substantial population growth to the planning area would be less than significant. b) c) The project site currently contains a house Under conditions of approval recommended for VTM#3083, tenants will be provided 90-day notice, in lieu of required 30-day notice, to assist in relocation. City of San Luis Obispo has sufficient rental housing stock available for relocation. Thus, there is no impact. 14. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? 1 --X-- b) Police protection? 1 --X-- c) Schools? 1, 12 --X-- d) Parks? 1 --X-- e) Other public facilities? 1 --X-- Evaluation a), b), d), e) The OASP EIR determined that implementation and build out of the OASP will not result in any significant impacts related to any of the above-listed services due to the ability to offset service needs through the City’s Development Impact Fee program established via the City General Plan and augmented by the Public Facilities Financing development fee program in the OASP; therefore, the EIR conclusion was that no further mitigation was necessary. Since the project has been designed consistent with the OASP, development will not result in any adverse impacts to these services. The project will not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of, or need for, new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which might have the potential to cause significant environmental impacts. In accordance with the OASP, the project is subject to City and OASP established Development Impact Fees that are charged in conjunction with approval of development projects to offset costs associated with increases in demand of public services. Thus, the impact is less than significant. c) The State has the authority to collect fees at the time of building permits to offset the costs to finance scho ol site acquisition and school construction, and said fees, when collected by local school districts, are deemed by State law to provide adequate mitigation for school facility requirements. Section 65955 of the Government Code prohibits the City from den ying a subdivision or collecting any fees beyond those required by the school district to mitigate effects associated with inadequat e school facilities. Any increases in demand on school facilities caused by the project are considered to be mitigated by t he district’s collection of adopted fees at the time of building permit issuance for each residence and commercial building. Note: The OASP provides for the possibility of a school site being located in the Planning Area, but to date San Luis Coasta l USD has not indicated the need for, or a desire to locate, a school in the Orcutt Planning Area . It is incumbent on San Luis Coastal USD to identify the need for a new site, and to initiate discussions with property owners, and failing that avenue, 1.e Packet Pg. 126 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 22 instead opting to collect school impact fees for the District. As noted above, authority to collect fees at the time of building is deemed by State law to provide adequate mitigation for school facility requirements. Thus, there is no impact. 15. RECREATION. a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? 1 --X-- b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? 1 --X-- Evaluation: a) & b) The build-out of the project will add to the demand for parks and other recreational facilities. The OASP has anticipated this demand by designating certain sites within the Plan area for a “Neighborhood Park” for active recreational u se and other areas for “Open Space” for more passive recreation/aesthetic amenities (e.g. walking or b icycling paths and trails) intended more for use by adjacent or nearby residents. Figure 2.4 in the OASP shows the overall Open Space and Parks Plan. This plan designates the option for local parkland dedication on the project site for consideration in meeting the park needs of the project. OASP Policy 2.3.4 states: “Provide property owners within the Orcutt Area that want to provide parkland on their properties an opportunity to do so through the subdivision review process.” Consistent with the aforementioned plan and policy, the applicant is proposing to include 2.20 acres of improved park space and 2.80 acres of community open space (total 5.00 acres). The subdivision additionally proposes internal pedestrian paths and a bicycle care center in the community building of the multi-family development that will support and service bicycles. These features were incorporated to provide subdivision residents pedestrian oriented access to parkland and paths in this area during build-out of the overall specific plan. The OASP EIR determined that while build-out of the OASP will generate increased demand for recreational facilities, the impact is less than significant with the development of additional parks an d open space per the OASP. Thus, the construction of the project will have a less than significant impact on parks or other planned OASP recreational facilities. 16. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? 1 --X-- b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? 13 --X-- c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? 7 --X-- d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? 1,13 --X-- e) Result in inadequate emergency access? 1,13 --X-- 1.e Packet Pg. 127 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 23 f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? 1,13 --X-- Evaluation a), b) The subject project, as well as all other development that occurs in the future pu rsuant to the OASP and the City General Plan, will increase traffic in the area. The Circulation Plan of the OASP (as well as the Circulation Element of the City General Plan) identifies the essential primary road system that will be needed to accommodate development within the plan area and surrounding growth areas of the City. The OASP EIR determined that the roadway plans of these planning documents are for the most part self-mitigating in that 1.) Roadway alignments, road extensions, and new intersections are designed and will be built in response to traffic projected at build -out and, 2.) Development projects in the OASP areas will also contribute their fair share either through adopted Traffic Impact Fees, OASP development impact fees, assessments or dedications to specified roadway improvements, and a combination of one or more of these measures. Based on the traffic study prepared for the Program EIR, development of the Orcutt Area is expected to add 628 Average Daily Trips (ADT) to Orcutt Road between Johnson Avenue and Tank Farm Road at build-out. At the direction of the City, the specific impacts of the project with its proposed internal circulation system were evaluated in a traffic study prepared by Omni Means dated August 2015 (Source Reference 13). The traffic study found that the project is estimated to ultimately generate approximately 1,486 Daily Trips (727 trips – sf homes & 760 trips – condos), 112 AM Peak Trips and 149 PM Trips that will utilize the adjacent (and future) roadways. Depending on when the project is constructed in relationship to those on other properties in the OASP, traffic patterns from the project will be somewhat different initially than long term since the internal street system of collector roads will not be connected until other projects occur. However, the traffic study utilized the trip distribution published in the OASP FEIR to analyze project trip distribution, finding that ultimate distribution changes would not be significant. The four intersection studied in the project traffic study were all found to operate at acceptable LOS for both peak hours under existing plus project and existing plus OASP conditions. Three main facets of the internal circulation network were further evaluated in the traffic study; th ey are: 1) Orcutt Road Entry – location & design; The original location for the entry was shown further to the east. To provide for a more efficient site plan and to plan for better riparian area protection, the roadway was moved further to the west. The new alignment has the previously mentioned benefits, but raised some concerns with visibility and efficiency of turning movements. The traffic study concludes that the proposed location is acceptable with the street intersection at Orcutt Road and A Street be ing an FHWA urban compact roundabout. 2) A Street – the curved alignment and need for traffic calming; and The traffic study concludes that the current alignment of "A" Street is designed with a centerline curvature that corresponds to a design speed of 27 mph or less and that additional traffic calming features within the development are therefore not necessary. 3) Southeastern intersection – location and alignment with property to the south. The proposed intersection of "A-2" Street / "A-3" Street / Monte Azure Road is a closely spaced offset tee intersection configuration which increase the number of conflict points at the intersection. Redesigning the intersection to a “Knuckle” roadway curve with a driveway approach to access to the east is an acceptable design. In summary, the proposed project would add vehicular trips to streets that serve as entry/exit routes to the project site. T hese streets with the given improvements specified in the City’s adopted planning documents and with the addition of new Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements for the project will serve to accommodate the added vehicular traffic. Thus, the impact from this project with incorporation of the recommendations of the traffic study is less than significant. 1.e Packet Pg. 128 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 24 c), d) The Orcutt Area Specific Plan will require that the project provides roadways that are designed and developed in accordance with adopted City standards thereby assuring predetermined standards necessary to limit safety hazards and provide adequate emergency access. Thus, there is no impact as result of the project. e) The project is subject to the City’s parking requirements as it is outlined in the OASP for each land use. The project bu ild- out is required to fulfill all necessary parking requirements. Thus, there is no impact. f) The project provides improvements to implement the City adopted policies to encourage alternative means of transportation. The project includes pedestrian paths, bicycle paths and staging area and a mass transit bus st op with covered seating. These path system, bicycle staging area and bus stop meet or exceed the requirements called for in the OASP. Thus, there is no impact. g) The OASP has already been found to not conflict with the San Luis Obispo County Airport Land U se Plan (ALUP). Therefore, as the subject project complies with the pertinent requirements of the OASP regarding allowed land uses and development densities and standards, the project is not in conflict with the ALUP. Thus, there is no impact from this p roject. Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: T-VTM3083-1 Orcutt Road & Street A: Provide roundabout control. T-VTM3083-2 South Eastern Intersection: Provide “Knuckle” curve with driveway approach for access to the east. 17. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? 1 --X-- b) Require or result in the construction or expansion of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? 1 --X-- c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? 1 --X-- d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new and expanded entitlements needed? 1 --X-- e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? 1 --X-- f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? 1 --X-- g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? 1 --X-- Evaluation a-c, e) The OASP FEIR determined that implementation and build -out of the OASP will not result in any significant impacts related to delivery of domestic water, wastewater collection or treatment, or storm water drainage/retention and concluded that such impacts related to build-out of the OASP were less than significant and no mitigation was d eemed necessary. Build- out under the OASP will be similar to that anticipated and projected in the City General Plan. The project proposes to provid e all water (both potable and recycled), sewer, and storm drain facilities necessary to adequately serve the subject projects, 1.e Packet Pg. 129 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 25 including distribution, collection and other infrastructure capacity as required by the OASP facility master plan and the Cit y’s Storm Drain Master Plan/Waterway Management Plan. There is no new evidence that the subject projects, as del ineated by the OASP, will exceed RWQCB wastewater treatment requirements, with the potential exceptions described below. Related to delivery of domestic water to the project, new information developed after the FEIR was certified and after the Orcutt Area Specific Plan was adopted (in 2010) is now available from the City’s 2015 Water Master Plan and hydraulic model related to the provision of water service to the Orcutt Specific Plan Area. To serve the area with adequate fire flow (1,500 gpm for residential areas), and average daily storage requirements, a 12 -inch water main needs to be extended from the Terrace Hill pressure zone at the intersection of Johnson and Tanglewood Drive in a south/southeast direction to the intersection of Orcutt Road and B Street. A 12-inch water main will also need to be extended west to Orcutt and A Street. Under City fire and safety standards, these improvements will be required prior to occupancy of any new residential uses. Adequate fire flow and storage, based on the extension into the project, is available for the development of the Orcutt Specific Plan area. Mitigation Measure USS-1 is included to address these off-site improvements in conjunction with the project. The project proposes an alternate connection to the wastewater collection system which is allowable within the OASP subject to specific criteria. The Utilities Plan on Sheet C-13 on the VTM shows that the sewer will be extended from the mobile home park to the southwest of the project through an easement and connect to the existing collection system in Willow Lane. Downstream of the proposed tie in location, the existing sewer line crossing the railroad tracks from Bullock Lane to Capitolio is over 45 years old, is not encased, and the cast iron pipe is in poo r condition. Mitigation Measure USS-2 is included to address these off-site improvements in conjunction with the project. The developer will be required to construct all sewer facilities according to City standards. In addition to the on-site utility service infrastructure required with the developments, the project is subject to City and OASP established Development Impact Fees that are charged in conjunction with approval of development projects to offset costs associated with water supply, water treatment, and wastewater treatment. Thus, regarding water and wastewater treatment, there is no impact. To fully resolve fire flow and storage limitations, proposed mitigation measure USS -1 will result in less than significant impacts. To fully resolve condition issues in the collection system, proposed mitigation measure USS-2 will result in less than significant impacts. d) The City has four primary water supply sources including Whale Rock Reservoir, Salinas Reservoir, Nacimiento Reservoir, and recycled water (for irrigation), with groundwater serving as a fifth supplemental source . Buildout population demands (2014; Utilities Department) are estimated at 7,128 afy, or 71% of total available annual supplies. The City’s investment in multi-source water supplies has afforded responsible use options even following some of the driest years on record. Provisions in the City General Plan, specifically the Water and Wastewater Management Element and the OASP, insure that increased water use by new development will not cause inadequate water service to existing and future customers. Service of recycled water to the Orcutt Area will be extended from Tank Farm Road to Orcutt Road along “A” Street. Mitigation Measure USS-3 is included to address these off-site improvements in conjunction with the project. This project is also subject to water impact fees which were adopted to ensure that new development pays its share of constructing additional infrastructure needed to support additional facilities. Thus, compliance with the City and State standards and requirements will assure that impacts related to water supplies are less than significant. f) Solid waste collection within the City will be provided by a private operator under a City franchise and disposal is e xpected to continue at Cold Canyon Landfill until 2018. The project must be consistent with the City’s Source Reduction and Recycling Element which requires that recycling facilities be accommodated on the project site and a solid waste reduction plan for recycling discarded construction materials must be submitted with the building permit application.

EARLIER ANALYSES. Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D). In this case a discussion should identify the following items: a) Earlier analysis used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. In 2010 the City of San Luis Obispo certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP). The subject proposed VTM #3083 property lies within the boundaries of the OASP. Therefore, this prior OASP EIR evaluation considered impacts and mitigation related generally to potential development of the subject site and others pursuant to the OASP. The prior OASP EIR, certified by the City Council along with the adoption of the OASP on March 2, 2010, by Resolution No. 10154 (2010 Series), contained a variety of mitigation measures to be incorporated as discrete components of the OASP or as policies or development standards to be implemented through site-specific development proposals. Appendix C of the OASP lists the required mitigation measures for projects. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) allows Lead Agencies (the City) to use the analysis of general matters contained in a broader EIR, such as for a general or specific plan, with later environmental documents incorporating by reference the general discussions from the broader EIR, and concentrating the initial study discussion solely on the issues specific to the later project. The environmental assessment approach is referred to as “tiering”. The environmental analyses above for VTM #3083 takes into account the environmental conclusions of the prior EIR as they are applicable to the proposed site-specific project. As such, mitigation measures adopted in the prior EIR that are applicable to the subject site-specific project, and therefore must be incorporated into the proposed project to effectively mitigate the prior identified impacts, are listed below. Many of the applicable mitigation measures required by provisions of the OASP have been incorporated by the applicant into the actual project subdivision design, making the project “self -mitigating” in these instances. The Orcutt Area Specific Plan and Final Program EIR is available for review at the City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department, 919 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 and is also on the City’s website. b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific conditions of the project. Project-Specific Mitigation Measures: AES-VTM3083-1 Lighting and Glare.

If any VPFS individuals are located onsite, substantial setbacks from their identified habitat shall be implemented to avoid take of a Federally-listed species. If complete avoidance is not economically or technically feasible, then Section 10 of the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) shall be used to authorize incidental take when no other Federal agency such as the Corps is involved. This process includes development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for protecting and enhancing the Federally-listed species at a specific location in perpetuity. Species take can also be authorized under Section 7 of the FESA if a Federal agency is involved in the project (e.g., Corps Section 404 permitting for impacts to waters of the U.S. and/or Federal funding) and agrees to be the lead agency requesting Section 7 consultation. The compensatory mitigation ratio shall be determined by the appropriate resource agencies. Suitable replacement habitat shall be constructed either within the site boundaries or offsite. B-6(a) Minimized Roadway Widths. Roadway widths adjacent to riparian and wetland habitats shall be reduced to the minimum width possible, while maintaining Fire Department Requirements for emergency access, with slower speed limits introduced. Posted speed limits should be 25 mph. B-6(b) Culvert Design. Although closed culverts are to be the drainage conveyance method of last resort per the City Waterways Management Plan, where they are required, culverts connecting the Plan Area drainage corridors with upstream and downstream drainage corridors shall be evaluated during the suitability analysis pursuant to Mitigation Measure B-5(e) to determine their importance to wildlife who could use them to travel to and from the site. If culverts are found to be of importance to wildlife, the culverts shall be evaluated for their potential for improvement (i.e. retrofitting, maintenance, or specific improvements depending on the types of species using them). The development pursuant to the Specific Plan and the City shall develop a plan for the improvement of the culverts. Preservation of the wildlife corridors that are present on the project site can be achieved with sufficient setbacks from riparian and wetland habitats. Refer to B-4 for mitigation regarding riparian and wetland habitat setbacks. B-6(c) Educational Pet Brochure. Any development pursuant to the Specific Plan shall prepare a brochure that informs prospective homebuyers and Home Owners Association (HOA) members about the impacts associated with non- native animals, especially cats and dogs, to the project site; similarly, the brochure must inform potential homebuyers and all HOA members of the potential for coyotes to prey on domestic animals. 1.e Packet Pg. 139 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Issues, Discussion and Supporting Information Sources ER # 224-14 (VTM 3083; West Creek) Sources Potentially Significant Issues Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO INITIAL STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 2010 35 B-6(d) Landscaping Plan Review.

Prior to development, a qualified historian should be retained to conduct a historical evaluation of the 50+ year old structures within the Orcutt Area using the City’s Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. Any structure determined to be an important/ significant historic resource shall be mitigated as appropriate prior to its demolition or relocation.  Monitoring Program: Requirements for cultural resource mitigation shall be clearly noted on all plans for project grading and construction. DRAINAGE AND WATER QUALITY MITIGATION D-2(a) Vegetative and Biotechnical Approaches to Bank Stabilization. Vegetative or biotechnical (also referred to as soil bioengineering) approaches to bank stabilization are preferred over structural approaches. Bank stabilization design must be consistent with the SLO Creek Stream Management and Maintenance Program Section 6. Streambank stabilization usually involves one or a combination of the following activities:  Regrading and revegetating the streambanks to eliminate overhanging banks and create a more stable slope;  Deflecting erosional water flow away from vulnerable sites;  Reducing the steepness of the channel bed through installation of grade stabilization structures;  Altering the geometry of the channel to influence flow velocities and sediment deposition;  Diverting a portion of the higher flow into a secondary or by-pass channel;  Armoring or protecting the bank to control erosion, particularly at the toe of slopes. The bank stabilization design will:  Be stable over the long term;  Be the least environmentally damaging and the “softest” approach possible;  Not create upstream or downstream flooding or induce other local stream instabilities;  Minimize impacts to aquatic and riparian habitat. 1.e Packet Pg. 141 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) 37 D-2(c) Riparian Zone Planting. The OASP proposes riparian enhancement of creek corridors. Section 11 guidelines of the SLO Creek Drainage Design Manual shall be followed for riparian areas that are modified, created and/or managed for flood damage reduction, stream enhancement, and bank repair. Linear park terrace vegetation, streambank repair and channel maintenance projects may require stream channel modifications that include shaping, widening, deepening, straightening, and armoring. Many channel management projects also require building access roads for maintenance vehicles and other equipment. These construction activities can cause a variety of impacts to existing sensitive riparian and aquatic habitat that, depending on the selected design alternative, range from slight disturbances to complete removal of desirable woody vegetation and faunal communities. In urban areas within the SLO creek watershed, riparian vegetation often provides the only remaining natural habitat available for wildlife populations. D-5(a) Biofilters. The applicant shall submit to the Director of Community Development for review and approval a plan that incorporates grassed swales (biofilters) into the project drainage system where feasible for runoff conveyance and filtering of pollutants. D-5(c) Pervious Paving Material. Consistent with Land Use Element Policy 6.4.7, the applicant shall be encouraged to use pervious paving material to facilitate rainwater percolation. Parking lots and paved outdoor storage areas shall, where feasible, use pervious paving to reduce surface water runoff and aid in groundwater recharge. • D-2a, D-2c, D-5a, D-5c Monitoring Program: Monitoring will include Natural Resources Department staff consultation and implementation at time of landscaping construction plan review and Engineering-Public Works staff at the time of tract construction. NOISE MITIGATION N-1(a) Compliance with City Noise Ordinance. Construction hours and noise levels shall be compliant with the City Noise Ordinance [Municipal Code Chapter 9.12, Section 9.12.050(6)]. Methods to reduce construction noise can include, but are not limited to, the following:  Equipment Shielding. Stationary construction equipment that generates noise can be shielded with a barrier.  Diesel Equipment. All diesel equipment can be operated with closed engine doors and equipped with factory-recommended mufflers.  Electrical Power. Whenever feasible, electrical power can be used to run air compressors and similar power tools.  Sound Blankets. The use of sound blankets on noise generating equipment.  Monitoring Program: Requirements for construction noise mitigation shall be clearly noted on all plans for project grading and construction. 1.e Packet Pg. 142 At t a c h m e n t : e - I n i t i a l S t u d y / M i t i g a t e d N e g a t i v e D e c l a r a t i o n ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) 38 20.

SITE DATA Applicant Robbins|Reed Representative Randy Russom, RRM Design Group Zoning R-2-SP (Medium Density Residential, Specific Plan) & R-4-SP (High Density Residential, Specific Plan) General Plan Medium-Density Residential High-Density Residential Site Area 18.3 acres Environmental Status An initial study of environmental impact has been prepared with a recommendation for a Mitigated Negative Declaration. SUMMARY The applicant is proposing to develop an 18.3-acre site in the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP) with a residential development that provides for a variety of housing types and neighborhood amenities. A total of 172 individual residential units are proposed including 67 single-family homes, and 105 condominiums. The submitted Vesting Tentative Map (VTM) #3083 includes a total of 79 lots consisting of: 1) 67 individual lots for all of the single -family product types (Lots 1-67), 2) 1 lot for the 105 multiple family units (Lot 74), 3) 2 lots for the creek corridor (Lots 77 & 78) Meeting Date: April 13, 2016 Item Number: _____ 1.g Packet Pg. 182 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 2 4) 8 lots for parks and open spaces (Lots 68-72, 73, 75 & 76), and 5) 1 lot for the future extension of A Street (Lot 79). This is the 4th development proposal to move forward through the City review process since the Orcutt Area was annexed to the City on November 16, 2011 (Taylor-Wingate 2013; Righetti Ranch 2015, Jones Ranch 2015). Attachment 2 is a Vicinity Map of the OASP neighborhood that highlights the active projects in the area. The applicant’s “Project Description” is included as Attachment 3 for additional reference. The project has gone to the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) for conceptual review at two different meetings: December 1, 2014, and October 19, 2015. The initial ARC discussion focused on grading, pedestrian linkages, parking, and architectural styles. The ARC asked to see the project again before Planning Commission review of the VTM. At the October 19th meeting on the project the ARC reviewed variations in site grading, review of additional re sidential design options, discussed parking reductions and parklands configuration. The follow-up October 19th staff report and minutes from the ARC meeting are attached (Attachment 4 ). After review of the VTM by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council, the project will return to the ARC for final design approval. The project has also been reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Commission (PRC) twice; on March 4, 2015 and November 4, 2015. The first meeting was an introduction to the project and parks plan. The second meeting focused on the changes made to respond to initial meeting comments and to evaluate a request for a partial fee adjustment on the provision of public parklands within the OASP. Copies of these meeting minutes and the November 4th Staff Report are included for reference (Attachment 5). Both ARC and PRC comments and recommendations are included with the staff analysis, below. 1.0 COMMISSION’S PURVIEW The applicant is requesting approval of VTM#3083 to create 79 lots which will enable the individual sale of the single-family detached homes and condominium units. Approval of a vesting tentative map confers a "vested right" to develop in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies and standards in effect when the application was determined complete per Chapter 16.34 (Vesting Tentative Map) of the City’s Municipal Code and Sections 65920, 66474.2 and 66498.1 of the California Government Code. The Commission, with their review of the VTM, will be examining the lot pattern, street-bicycle- pedestrian networks, on- and off-site infrastructure, and density of the proposed project. The Commission will also be reviewing the Initial S tudy of environmental impact , and the corresponding analysis which recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and documents the project’s consistency with the OASP and the 2010 Final OASP EIR prepared to analyze the development under the Specific Plan. The Planning Commission is being asked to provide a recommendation to the City Council, which takes final action on tentative tract maps. 1.g Packet Pg. 183 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 3 2.0 SPECIFIC PLAN BACKGROUND On March 2, 2010 the City Council certified the Final EIR for and approved the O rcutt Area Specific Plan. This action by the City Council included approval of both text and map amendments to the City’s General Plan, and rezoning the subject site to R -2-SP and R-3-SP (Medium-Density & High-Density Residential with the Specific Plan Overlay). On November 16, 2011 the OASP area was annexed into the City of San Luis Obispo. The overall goals of the Specific Plan are to:  Develop a new residential neighborhood to meet the City’s housing needs.  Provide a variety of housing types and costs to meet the needs of renters and buyers with a variety of income-levels, including affordable housing for residents with low and very-low income levels.  Protect and enhance Righetti Hill, creek/wetland habitats, and visua l resources in open space areas.  Provide a variety of park and recreational facilities for residents of the Orcutt Area.  Phase the proposed development so that public facilities are developed concurrently with each new phase in a rational and cost effective fashion.  Encourage the use of bicycles and walking wit hin the Plan Area by incorporating bicycle/pedestrian paths and lanes along the roads and through the parks and open space areas.  Protect the new residents from railroad noise by including a buffer between the railroad and the new residential areas. The buffer area will include a regional detention system consisting of floodable terraces and will provide recreational opportunities with a landscaped bicycle/pedestrian path system; and to i dentify a visual and noise setback for new residents on Orcutt Road and Tank Farm Road by incorporating a landscape buffer with a pedestrian path along these road frontages.  Provide goals and identify mitigation and related Environmental Impact Studies. Some of the tenets of the OASP are to: integrate with existing surround ing development in terms of use and scale, provide open space and parklands, protect sensitive natural resources, create a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environment, and provide a new source of diversified housing within the City of San Luis Obispo. The OASP sets the land use and development parameters for future development and the tract maps set the infrastructure, circulation and lot patterns. 3.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 3.1 Site Information/Setting The project site consists of about 18.3 acres, spanning two OASP designated parcels, the Mid-State and Maddalena parcels. The combination of the two parcels into a single project allows for a more complete design solution and efficient development pattern. There are several unique constraints that must be addressed with development of the site, including 52 feet in grade change, two forks of Orcutt Creek which pass through the site, a PG&E easement along the entire southern property line, and OASP requirements to provide vehicle access to future neighboring developments to both the east and south. 1.g Packet Pg. 184 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 4 Immediately to the east of the site are two R -2-SP zoned sites within the OASP that are currently used for suburban residential and intermittent grazing purposes. To the southeast of the site is the Taylor-Wingate development, which is also within the OASP and zoned R -2-SP and R-3-SP. Properties to the north are zoned R-3 and R-1 and are developed with an assisted living facility and single family homes. Properties immediately to the west are zoned R -2 and are developed with mobile homes. 3.2 Project Description The West Creek site will serve as the northern gateway to the rest of the OASP to the south, and has been designed to incorporate attractive open spaces while accommodating the density antici pated by the OASP. These open spaces will connect the OASP neighborhoods to the existing communities and provide both passive and active recreational opportunities for those in the area through planned enhancements and appropriate setbacks. Trails meanderi ng through these open spaces provide for non-motorized, inter-neighborhood circulation, while promoting the active, outdoor recreational opportunities encouraged by the OASP. (Reference Attachment 3 for applicant’s Project Description). The project proposes a total of 172 residential units (152.12 density units) on about 11 of the 18.29 acres. The units include a range of multi -generational housing sizes and styles within three general housing product types, including: 1) Traditional detached single-family homes (23 - R-2); 2) Small-lot, single-family parkway homes (44 - R-2): and 3) Condominiums mix of studios & one-bedroom and two-bedroom units (total of 105 – R-4). Figure 1 – Overall Project Site Plan Condominium Units (105) Traditional SFRs (23) Parkway Homes (44) 1.g Packet Pg. 185 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 5 The OASP anticipated a density of between 143-157 units on these sites, and when increased for affordable housing units, is in substantial conformance to the anticipated density range at 172 proposed units. Also consistent with the OASP land use designations, areas generally north of the East Fork of Orcutt Creek are developed with multi -family units at densities anticipated in the R -4 zone. Areas south of the creek are developed with small -lot single-family homes, appropriate for their R-2 designation and with a variety of home options and styles provided for first -time homebuyers and move-down buyers. Within the single-family traditional product, the lot sizes range from 4,500 square feet to 7,239 square feet. The single-family traditional lots would serve multi-generational living through flexible floor plan layouts, including optional attached secondary dwelling units. With the parkway homes, the lot sizes range from 3,150 square feet to 4,736 square feet. To facilitate neighborhood interaction and provide for communal play areas for children, grand parkways have been incorporated in between portions of the single -family parkway lots with front porches fronting onto and engaging with these spaces. In addition to outdoor amenities within the single family portion of the site, a number of amenities are associated directly with the multi -family condominiums, providing these occupants the opportunity to engage with neighbors and enjoy the indoo r/outdoor lifestyle encouraged under the OASP. A 1,950 square-foot clubhouse is proposed between Buildings C & F on the north side of the riparian corridor for the condominiums. The clubhouse will provide usable indoor space for different activities and events, as well as a bike service facility. Other amenities include tables and BBQ facilities with views of the creek corridor. In addition to the residential units, the project includes significant park and open space areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and traffic calming features to promote the pedestrian friendly environment envisioned by the OASP. Park and open spaces areas include the western extent of the site and Orcutt Creek as it crosses the site from east to west which achieves multi -purpose/multi use functions. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, and opportunities for a community garden, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision a nd the overall community as a whole. These areas would also be directly accessible to the existing mobile home park residents to the west and homes to the north, which are currently considered underserved by parks. In addition to the community park and ope n space areas, ample parkways are provided in the southern portion of the project as neighborhood commons among the units. 4.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS (Environmental & Land Use) 4.1 Environmental Review The OASP Final EIR contained numerous mitigation measures which are required to be brought forward and incorporated into the tiered environmental assessment prepared f or site-specific projects. An Initial Study of environmental impact was prepared for the proposed project to document its consistency with the OASP and to identify the require d mitigation measures from the EIR that applied to this development site , as well as any new site specific mitigation measures deemed appropriate. 1.g Packet Pg. 186 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 6 On March 29, 2016, the Community Development Director reviewed the IS and determined that with proposed mitigation measures that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) be prepared (Attachment 6). The MND was sent to the State Clearinghouse; the required public review period began on April 1, 2016 and extends through May 1, 2016. At the time of distribution of this Report, the City has not received any comments from other agencies or interested individuals during the public review period thus far. Any comments received will be summarized for upcoming hearings. Recommended Mitigation Measures include several that were/continue to be applicable from the OASP EIR, as well as several project-specific MMs as suggested in Attachment 6. In brief, added project-specific MMs include two additional mitigation measures recommended in the 2015 West Creek Biological Resources Assessment related to the potential need for nesting bird surveys if construction commences between February 15 to September 15 and roosting bat surveys with the demolition of existing buildings. Other project-specific MMs included in Attachment 6, and highlighted here, include:  lighting and glare mitigation,  construction of solar conduits in all residential units (in order to afford future owners the option of installing improvements),  photo documentation of the residence on site to be demolished as part of the project,  roundabout control at the Orcutt Road and “A” Street intersectio n with “Knuckle” curve driveway for the south eastern intersection approach, and  off-site water, wastewater and recycled water infrastructure necessary to serve the proposed project. 4.2 Density Figure 13 of the OASP shows that most of the western part of the site has been designated as R -4, High-Density Residential, and that the eastern portion of the site is designated as R -2, Medium - Density Residential. OASP Section 9.3 notes that the boundaries between designated land uses may need to be adjusted through the subdivision map review to reflect the lot pattern in the development. In the case of the subject project, the boundary between R-2 and R-4 housing products is shown on the VTM and has been adjusted to use the creek corridor with its Open Space zoning as the border between the two land uses. This resulted when combining the two properties into a single project, allowing for the adjustment to contain the sa me proportional amounts of each land use category. OASP Policy 3.2.7 states that “Medium-density residential should provide a similar sense of neighborhood cohesion as the low-density, but in a more compact arrangement.” Consistent with this guidance, the proposed parkway and traditional single -family homes create a cohesive neighborhood with pedestrian linkages, shared open spaces, and smaller lot sizes. The 11-acre residential project sites include about 7.87 gross acres of R-2 and 3.07 gross acres of R- 3 zoning. Deducting for streets, and in the case of the R -3 parcel, the park, the net acreage of R -2 is 5.4 and R-3 is 2.05. While the gross acreage of R-3 is larger than that depicted in Figure 13 of the OASP, the net acreage is consistent with the land uses allocation shown in the OASP taking into consideration the area dedicated to the park. The resultant allowable density numbers for the R-2 1.g Packet Pg. 187 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 7 zoning is 65 for the R-2 and 37 for the R-3 for a total allowable density of 102.

Policy 3.1.c states that density is calculated based on the net site area prior to subdivision rather than a lot -by-lot basis to accommodate the smaller lots allowed within the Orcutt Area. The applicant is proposing a total of 152 density units and an effective 172 separate units with the variety of housing types included in the project. This number of units is in substantial conformance to the range of the unit allocation for the comb ined lots included in the OASP. 4.3 Affordable Housing The applicants have prepared an “Inclusionary Housing Proposal for West Creek Project (updated 11-18-15)” that outlines in detail the proposed program for providing housing on the site. This “Proposal” is included as Attachment 7. Policy 3.3.2 requires that: “Each development within the Orcutt Area shall construct a minimum 10 percent of moderate income affordable dwelling units (ADU) and 5% low income ADUs at the time of development, or dedicate land for affordable housing.” The applicant has committed to including ADUs within the project and the proposal exceeds these minimum requirements. Per Appendix N of City Housing Element, Table 2, t he applicant’s Inclusionary Housing requirement based on 172 units is 25.8. Based on the average unit size of 1,256 squa re feet, that requirement is adjusted by 25% per Appendix N of City Housing Element, Table 2A (25.8 units x .25 + 6.45 = 6). The specific unit types and income levels is included in the Table 2 below.

Figure 2 – West Creek Affordable Housing Unit Locations 4.4 Parking Parking for the single-family neighborhoods for the project are included as part of the residence garages, on one side of Streets A-3 and A-4, and in a parking area located adjoining Street A-2. The SFR neighborhoods are believed to have adequate site and on -street guest parking as proposed. Parking for the MFR-condominium neighborhood is proposed to be met under a “Transpo rtation Demand Management Program (TDMP)” included as Attachment 8. Required vehicle parking for the 105 MFR units is 192 spaces, allocated to the various unit bedroom counts based on zoning standards. The TDMP outlines the applicant’s proposal to provide 172 spaces (or a 10.4% reduction) through a combination of (1) adding 60 additional bicycle parking spaces to permit a 12 vehicle space reduction, and (2) implementation of the TDMP to allow an 8 vehicle space reduction. This issue was reviewed by the ARC and it was their recommendation that a program be implemented that provides for management of available parking by the HOA or other management entity, and allowing for future flexibility in parking as the project builds out and a more hands -on experience with parking results. Staff concurs with these suggestions, and believes the TDMP provides the management and oversight that will combine for a successful parking solution at West Creek. 1.g Packet Pg. 189 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 9 4.5 Open Space/Recreation Overall OASP public parklands are largely concentrated in the center of the planning area on the Righetti Ranch park site. Recent approvals for that project (VTM#3063) established the improvement and dedication of four (4) public parks totaling over 14 ac res in area. While the OASP established these specific public park improvements, the Specific Plan also allows individual development proposals to include public -city parklands as considered appropriate during processing of an application. Figure 2.4 in the OASP, the Open Space and Parks Plan, identifies the subject property as one suitable for a local parkland dedication. Consistent with OASP Policy 2.3.4, property owners may propose parkland dedications through the subdivision review process. Several lots (as depicted in Figure 3, below) are proposed to be improved/set aside as open space by the developer and either dedicated to the City of San Luis Obispo, or retained by the private Homeowners Association, totaling about 5 acres as described below. Figure 3 - Proposed VTM#3083 Illustrative Site Plan Applicant’s Proposed City Parks The central ~1 acre Basin (Lot 71) and Creek Parks (Portion Lot 72) on either side of “A” Street would include a naturalized detention/retention area, large publ ic plaza, walking paths, bicycle path trail head and covered staging area, restrooms, turf area, central fountain and covered seating area. Public Restrooms would be provided internal to the Mixed Use building (Lot 73) with direct access 1.g Packet Pg. 190 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 10 to the park plaza. The applicant is also proposing Linear Parks (Lots 68, 69) as public. Park and open spaces areas occur for the most part along the creek channels along the western extent of the site. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage m itigation, play/turf area, open space, and seating areas, providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. These areas would also be directly accessible to the existing mobile home park residents to the west and homes to the north, which are currently considered underserved by parks. In addition to the West Creek neighborhood park and open space areas along these creek channels, am ple parkways are provided in the southern portion of the project as neighborhood commons among the units. 4.5.1 Project Parkland Requirement To ensure that there is adequate parkland to support the population of the neighborhood, the OASP applies the City’s Parks and Recreation Element standards of parklan d provision for persons per acre. Under the OASP the West Creek development would be responsible for parkland as follows:  10 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents (OASP 2.3.1)  2.58 residents per R-2 unit = 2.58 x 67 units = 172.8 residents (OASP 2.3.2)  1.92 residents per R-4 unit = 1.92 x 105 units = 201.6 residents (OASP 2.3.2)  374 residents = 3.74 acres of parkland for the West Creek site 4.5.2 Applicant’s Project Parks Proposal The project has been designed to include 2.35 acres of improved park space and 2.80 acres of open space. This information is graphically represented in Figure 3. Together, these park and open space areas achieve multi-purpose/multi use functions. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, a tot -lot, fitness stations, and opportunities for a community garden, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. The applicant’s detailed proposal is Attachment 9.

The “details” of a final improvement plan and parkland development fee credits are matters to be addressed in the future by the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council. For the purposes of considering the VTM, it is appropriate to establish a condition that addresses this future consideration before the filing of the initial tract map . In general, staff supports a park development fee credit for those improvements associated with the parklands offered for public use by the applicants, providing maintenance of these a reas is managed by the project HOA and not city staff. Suggested private maintenance can be more carefully evaluated as final presentations and specifics are considered in the future by Parks Commission and City Council, but at this point the full development and maintenance of already contemplated and approved public parks in the OASP represent a reasonable allocation of limited staff resources, and to extend additional city maintenance to these small enclaves should be discouraged at this time , and was not a part of the PRC’s recommendation at this time. Condition #112 has been included to address this PRC recommendation. 5.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS (Subdivision Design) 5.1 VTM Design Lots 1-26 are more traditional lots ranging in size from 3,915 to 7,223 square feet and are proposed to accommodate detached single -family homes. Lots 27-45 include mostly detached single-family homes, but there are also two duplexes. These lots range in size from 3,280 to 4,970 square feet. Lots 1-45 are included in the R-2 zoning category. Table 3.1 of the OASP provides unique residential lot standards for the R-1 & R-2 zones and indicates that the R-3 & R-4 zones would follow typical City standards. The lot area standards for R-2 lots are 3,000 square feet, 5,000 square feet maximum, and 4,500 square feet average. As designed the detached residential lots provide a variet y of lot sizes and flexibility in unit designs to create a range of housing options consistent with the OASP and Housing Element. This approach advances the city’s “affordable by design” policies and programs. 5.2 Grading The subject site has an overall average cross slope of less than 10% (~7% in an east-to-west direction; ~4% north-to-south). The site has two major “constraints” that dictate the grading solutions offered in the tract design by the applicants. These constraints are the natural alignment of East Orcutt Creek, and the future alignment of “A” street, which connects southerly into the adjoining Wingate project at a predetermined grade. In the case of East Orcutt Creek, the grading from Orcutt Road southerly to the existing edge of the creek corridor to accommodate the R-4 multi-family component of the project is the more significant, with a series of retaining walls used to create the finished grades of this part of the project. South of East Orcutt Creek, the predominantly Single-Family neighborhood slopes more gently to match the approved road grades of the Wingate tract, with fewer and shorter retaining wall needs. 1.g Packet Pg. 192 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 12 The preliminary grading plan attempts to balance the need for significant “flatter” areas between Orcutt Road and East Orcutt Creek and the natural slope of the creek by limiting proposed cuts or fills to eight feet. In some cases, these cuts and fills are slope banks that undulate at varied grades based on input from Natural Resources and Engineering staff along the creek corridors, and in other instances 3’-6’ retaining walls below the R-4 buildings are used to more abruptly transition the building envelope edge with the creek corridor. Total grading, proposed to be balanced on site, is estimated to be approximately 25,000 cubic yards. The grading concept has been designed to follow the natural southwestern descending contours of the land and achieve maximum solar and view access for individual lots. At grade access is provided to adjoining properties. Maximum retaining wall heights are estimated to be six feet in limited locations. To minimize the amount of grading and need for retaining walls, portions of the row house units and single-family homes have been designed with a split pad design ; this provides garages under living spaces, but creates the convenience of an at grade, level rear yard immediately accessed from the living area. The site grading plan (VTM Sheets C-8 and C-9) reflects an effort to design a large development project with significant elevation changes downward from Orcutt Road to the west and south edges of the site. Staff believes the grading design meets the intent of minimizing grading balanced with the objectives of natural resources protection, adequate area -wide circulation connections and extensions, and achieving the desired residential densities for these OASP properties. 5.3 Site Circulation The project site currently has access to Orcutt Road. Future connection of inner-tract roadways and connection points to adjacent properties have been considered and are supported by the proposed VTM. Primary access will be provided by “A” Street, the North/South residential collector along the Western perimeter of the project. Second access to the project will ultimate be provided vi a A-2 street which connect to the Taylor Wingate property to the south once developed. In the interim a temporary access point will be provided to Orcutt Rd. along the eastern perimeter of the project to satisfy emergency access requirement, this access po int will be abandoned once development to the south occurs and secondary access is satisfied. 1.g Packet Pg. 193 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 13 Figure 4 – Project Illustrative Site Plan Inner-tract roadways are designed to provide efficient access within the subdivision while considering the natural contours of the land, solar access, safety, speed reduction, maximization of views within the subdivision as well as future inner -tract connections to the adjoining fut ure development parcels. Inner-tract circulation is provided through both public and pr ivate streets. The developer is responsible for all improvements and costs for its inner -tract roadways and private streets located on their property. OASP Policy 5.1.a states that “Existing arterial roadways should be improved where necessary in order to provide safe, adequate circulation.” In the case of the project, OASP Program 5.1.1 notes that Orcutt Road shall be improved to include a continuous two -way left-turn lane, Class II bicycle lane, and curb and gutter between Johnson Avenue and Tank Farm Road. Condition No. 4 indicates that the improvements to Orcutt Road per the OASP requirements need to be completed in the project’s first phase. 5.4 Pedestrian and Bike Paths The OASP delineates an on-site Class 1 bicycle path trailhead terminating on the subject site. The project design incorporates this requirement through inclusion of a covered bicycle staging area located adjacent to the public park “hub” of the site. 1.g Packet Pg. 194 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 14 Enhanced parkways with pedestrian paths, off road inner-tract pedestrian paths, inner tract path connections to adjacent parcels and internal park paths and seating are provided to encourage a “non-car-centric” lifestyle. The maximum distance any resident of the community will hav e to travel to gain access to a bicycle path is approximately 500 feet with a majority of the homes within 200 feet of a bicycle path. 5.5 Project Phasing The final map is intended to be recorded in a single phase. For the purposes of the VTM, the applicants have identified a 3-phased approach to buildings construction as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 – Overall Project Construction Phasing The construction of the tract grading-infrastructure, residential and parks improvements could be developed in multiple phases, depending on detailed engineering design. Each phase is designed as a complete block, able to function independently with required access, utilities landscaping and improvements. The phasing plan implementation is designed to ensure a minimum of construction traffic and activity impacts to completed phases of the project. Construction planning and coordination between phases management will be addressed through Condition 111, requiring a Construction Management Plan to be implemented with all phases of the project. The project will include a Master Homeowner’s Association (HOA) that will be responsible for maintenance of all common area landscaping, all private roadways and applicable infrastructure improvements, all fences and walls, all private drainage infrastructure on individual lots and within 1.g Packet Pg. 195 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 15 the park and all private stre et lighting (see Condition 103). Additionally, the homeowners association will be responsible for enforcement of the Rul es and Regulations. Rules and Regulations will be designed to protect the long-term integrity of the community as well as provide necessary protections for rights to quiet enjoyment for all residents and protect residents from visual nuisances. 5.6 Drainage The project proposes a comprehensive drainage system. The primary requirement is to achieve the net effect of no increased runoff from the site after build out. The drainage system includes the following key features:  All single-family units will be equipped with rain barrels to retain and reuse gutter runoff .  All single-family lots will be provided subterranean retention connected to the gutter system and on lot drains which connect to the master storm -water system.  The Public Park will be equipped with both subterranean and above grade retention/detention connected to the master storm -water system. The above grade retention/detention will be improved as a dry creek complete with compatible landscaping, grading and rock outcropping features to provide a visual and functional feature to the development.  Naturalized bio swales will be incorporated into the landscape and gr ading plan to provide both naturalized drainage and landscape enhancement including a cross lot naturalized bio swale behind lots 44 thru 57. The HOA will be responsible for maintenance of all on lot drainage systems as well as the retention/detention systems developed in the park. Condition 89 outlines drainage requirements and Condition 103 reiterates the maintenance and management responsibilities of the HOA. 5.7 Utilities Utility and Service System concerns have been raised based on the City’s newly updated 2015 Potable Water Distribution System Operations Master Plan (2015 Water Master Plan). Regarding delivery of domestic water to the project, new information developed a fter the FEIR was certified and after the 2010 Orcutt Area Specific Plan is now available from the City’s 2015 Water Master Plan and hydraulic model related to the provision of water service to the Orcutt Specific Plan Area. To serve the area with adequate fire flow (1,500 gpm for residential areas), and average daily storage requirements, a 12-inch water main needs to be extended from the Terrace Hill pressure zone at the intersection of Johnson and Tanglewood Drive in a south/southeast direction to the intersection of Orcutt Road and B Street. A 12 -inch water main will also need to be extended west to Orcutt and A Street. Under City fire and safety standards, these improvements will be required prior to occupancy of any new residential uses. Adequate fi re flow and storage, based on the extension into the project, is available for the development of the Orcutt Specific Plan area. Mitigation measures and project conditions are included to address these off -site improvements in conjunction with the project. The project proposes an alternate connection to the wastewater collection system which is allowable within the OASP, subject to specific criteria. The Utilities Plan on Sheet C -13 on the VTM shows 1.g Packet Pg. 196 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 16 that the sewer will be extended from the mobile home par k to the southwest of the project through an easement and connect to the existing collection system in Willow Lane. Downstream of the proposed tie in location, the existing sewer line crossing the railroad tracks from Bullock Lane to Capitolio is over 45 years old, is not encased, and the cast iron pipe is in poor condition. Should this option be pursued, the developer will be required to construct all sewer facilities according to City standards. According to the capacity assurance modelling conducted with the City’s 2015 Wastewater Collection System Infrastructure Renewal Strategy , the collection system downstream of the railroad crossing has adequate capacity to serve the proposed West Creek project. In addition to the on-site utility service infrastru cture required with the developments, the proj ect is subject to City established Development Impact Fees and Add-On Fees that are charged in conjunction with approval of development projects to offset costs associated with water supply, water treatment, wastewater collection and wastewater treatment. To the extent that VTM#3083 participates in off-site improvements with other development projects, or fronts the shared costs of other projects, conditions have been included that permit the subdivider the opti on of pursuing fair share financing and reimbursement programs submitted with any final map for the project. 5.8 Water Supplies The City has four primary water supply sources including Whale Rock Reservoir, Salinas Reservoir, Nacimiento Reservoir, and recycled water (for irrigation), with groundwater serving as a fifth supplemental source. Buildout population demands (2014; Utilities Department) are estimated at 7,128 afy, or 71% of total available annual supplies. The City’s investment in multi -source water supplies has afforded responsible use options even following some of the driest years on record. Provisions in the City General Plan, specifically the Water and Wastewater Management Element and the OASP, insure that increased water use by new development will not cause inadequate water service to existing and future customers. Consistent with the 2004 Water Reuse Master Plan, service of recycled water to the Orcutt Area will be extended from Tank Farm Road to Orcutt Road along “A” Street. This project is also subject to water impact fees which were adopted to ensure that new development pays its share of constructing additional infrastructure needed to support additional facilities. 5.9 Residential Products Proposed VTM#3083 includes a mix of single -family and attached multi-family residential units. The applicant’s “Project Description” (Attachment 3) indicates that all residential construction will comply with the OASP Design Guidelines at the time of future construction . Concept floor and site plans have been presented for the residential units (RRM plan set Sheets A-9 thru A-21. The multi-family units are proposed as “condominiums”, designed to include air space ownership, while permitting attached buildings in a series of attached or clustered configurations. A total of seven (7) separate building clusters are proposed. These units vary between studio (max. 450 sf), 1- bedroom (703 sf) and 2-bedrooms (ranging between 951 – 1,215 sf). Garages on the ground floor of the buildings are included. These concepts allow some variation to the height and scale of the buildings, and will be a more moderate-cost and affordable housing product. These plans are 1.g Packet Pg. 197 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 17 general, and serve to confirm that the housing types described by the applicants do in fact work on the proposed higher-density lots of the tract. Architectural plans for the single-family housing products vary between what the applicant refers to as “traditional homes” and “parkway home”. For the most part, these SFRs would be 3 bedroom units, varying in size from 1,830 sf to 2,063 sf, with an option for a 450 sf “efficiency unit as a multi-generational family member”. These units would also vary between single-story and two - story configurations. The ARC was supportive of the preliminary design concepts during their review. Similar to recent processing of the Righetti subdivision, staff is recommendin g a process under Condition -- that would allow ARC review/comment on a series of “model unit” buildings and landscaping designs, and to provide for public comment and input to the Community Development Director, who would be responsible to make final determinations on building design. Director’s decisions in this manner would be appealable under established city policies. 5.10 Uniform CC&R’s Pursuant to the OASP, a homeowners association (HOA) is to be created to address ownership, maintenance, repair and replacement of common areas and private streets not otherwise incorporated into public ownership. West Creek includes private areas that would be subject to an HOA within the boundaries of VTM#3083. The OASP permits either a “master association (MHOA)” which could encompass the entire site, or multiple associations to address smaller sub-units of a given project. This can be done by creating a MHOA with the initial final map, with the future option of additional smaller areas being automatically “annexed” or incorporated within the Master HOA, or retained as a sub-association within the Master HOA. In the case of West Creek, this decision will be for the subdivider to make at the time of final map application, and therefore Condition 103 is presented to permit any of these options to be proposed, consistent with the OASP. 6.0 CONCLUSION The project application is consistent with the stated goals in the OASP and provides a new neighborhood with many admirable components and features, including, but not limited to: 1. A range of different housing types to appeal to households of varied income levels and needs. 2. It provides a sizable affordable component that is distributed throughout the site. 3. A commitment to quality and energy efficient construction. 4. A new sustainable neighborhood with internal pedestrian connections and provision for future linkages to adjoining sites. 5. Community amenities including a park, public art, day care center, bicycle staging area, trail connections, convenience store, and bus turnout. 1.g Packet Pg. 198 At t a c h m e n t : g - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n S t a f f R e p o r t ( a n d E r r a t a ) f r o m 4 - 1 3 - 2 0 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) ER/TR 224-14 (1299 Orcutt Road) – Planning Commission 4-13-2016 Page 18 6.

Deputy Director Davidson introduced Dave Watson, Consulting Planner managing the project, who provided the Staff Report. In response to Commission questions, he stated that the proposal had been presented to Parks & Recreation Commission (PRC). The PRC supports the concept subject to review of the final design and with a recommendation that a partial credit of improvement fees be addressed by the City Council at some future date. Aaryn Abbott, representing the Applicant, indicated that the Applicant is willing to continue to hold properties’ titles and maintain them through the Homeowners’ Association and open them through easements for public access, as recommended by the PRC. He provided an overview of the history of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP) and concluded that the West Creek is a highly constrained site having undergone multiple design iterations and additional traffic, soils, and hydrology studies. Randy Russom and Pam Ricci, RRM Design Group, presented the project details and and responded to Commission questions regarding residential parking. Transportation Operations Supervisor Jake Hudson responded to Commission questions regarding the circulation analysis of the OASP, including plans for both interim and ultimate secondary access routes and how the Plan envisions a restriction for emergency vehicles only. Pam Ricci, RRM Design Group requested that the Commission consider alterations to Condition #112 to provide additional flexibility. Applicant Representative Abbott indicated Applicant’s comfort with removing mention of $250,000 specifically from Condition #112, noting that the figure arose initially with Parks & Recreation’s mention of a credit being available. Assistant City Attorney Ansolabehere reminded the Commission to take Public Comment before deliberating.

Planner Watson stated that part of the approved plan for the Righetti Subdivision was to extend reclaimed water from the Tank Farm Road Area north. He added that each project will install their share of a total system and, as they ultimately connect, recycled water would be available for appropriate uses, i.e. parks. Commissioner Larson indicated that he was not comfortable with changing language in Condition #112, as requested by the Applicant. Commissioner Malak questioned the wisdom of constructing a pool on-site given the current water situation. Deputy Director Davidson stated that the affordable-by-design concept is a major premise of the Housing Element before providing a fundamental background explanation of the calculation which showed that the Applicant, following it to the letter, provided more affordable units than required. Chair Stevenson added that the project mix of housing covers a wide income strata, that studio housing itself is affordable-by- design, and is achieving Housing Element and OASP goals. Commissioner Malak discussed conservation policy guideline consistency as it pertains to the provision of solar power in a development and whether the integration of it in the Avila Ranch Project was a precedent or an anomaly. DR A F T 1.h Packet Pg. 201 At t a c h m e n t : h - P l a n n i n g C o m m i s s i o n M i n u t e s 4 - 1 3 - 1 6 ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) Excerpt of the Draft Planning Commission Minutes of April 13, 2016 Page 3 Assistant City Attorney Ansolabehere shared that, at a policy level, legislation had not been implemented yet to insert solar panel policy into specific program and City’s environmental document does not yet identify it as a mitigation measure, so the program is peripheral on General Plan level and pointing out inconsistencies regarding mandatory integration within it could be problematic. Commissioner Larson commented that there are a variety of options for additional energy conservation procedures in order for West Creek to meet, or even exceed, a particular performance standard identified in the more generic energy efficiency mitigation measure, but stated that the project, in his estimation, is consistent with policies in the given code. Chair Stevenson added that the energy efficiency requirement is 10% above Title 24 analysis. Commissioner Draze proposed approving the project per Staff recommendation, which includes a number of minor changes in the revised Resolution, with the addition of a requirement to Condition 10 that secondary access points be open full-time. Commissioner Malak voiced disappointment with the number of affordable housing units and his desire for a solar panel policy being made available for project integration. For these reasons he cannot support approval. Commissioner Draze requested that the project engineers consider reducing the heights of some of the retaining walls. Chair Stevenson suggested this request could be placed under a second motion as a recommendation to the ARC. Chair Stevenson shared empathy with Public concerns for traffic impacts and potential water but also indicated satisfaction with project’s evaluation of water usage through EIR and OASP. He stressed that this project is the type the City needs to provide for more affordable housing stock for younger demographic looking for starter homes and viable employment simultaneously; and commended the Applicant for implementing all the sustainable features it was able to include. ACTION: UPON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DRAZE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LARSON, the Commission adopted a Resolution recommending the City Council approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 3083 creating 77 lots for property located at 1299 Orcutt Road (“West Creek”), with an amended condition of approval (Condition 10 – Transportation and Subdivision Improvements. Include a requirement that secondary access be open to through traffic in a design approved by the City Engineer and Director of Public Works).

Together, these park and open space areas achieve multi- purpose/multi use functions. These areas will provide for biological enhancement and drainage mitigation, play/turf area, open space, seating areas, a tot -lot, and opportunities for a community garden, thereby providing both active and passive recreation amenities for the future residents of the subdivision and the overall community as a whole. The park and open space areas that the West Creek project anticipates include the following: City Parks Community Basin Park: 0.65 Ac Community Creek Park: 0.46 Ac Community Linear Park: 0.54 Ac TOTAL: 1.65 Ac Community Open Space Community Garden: 0.15 Ac Multi-Family Common Areas: 0.55 Ac Riparian Open Space: 1.53 Ac City Trails: 0.63 Ac Basin & Bio-filtration Areas: 0.64 Ac TOTAL: 3.50 Ac It should be noted that final park acreages and improvements included in them will change somewhat based on the VTM approval, related improvement plans, and the final parks design review and approval by the Parks & Recreation Commission at a later date. Parkland Fee Reduction OASP Policy 2.3.4 provides that property owners that would like to provide improved parkland on their property may do so through the subdivision review process. OASP Program 2.3.4a outlines the circumstances in which property owners may provide improved parkland on their property and request relief from parkland fees. The following discussion outlines these circumstances, followed by a summary of how the project meets the criterion.  OASP 2.3.4a.i: The Parks and Recreation Commission determine that the additional parkland serves a community-wide need that is not met through the provision of other parkland in the Orcutt Area. Summary: West Creek parks provide parkland that serves the community in ways not met through other proposed areas. The proposed park areas serve not only the OASP properties, but the adjacent underserved neighborhoods that no other location in the OASP does or will. The proposed West Creek park areas will be the only park within a ¼ mile/5-minute walking radius for the surrounding neighborhoods as indicated on the attached Parks Context Map. 1.i Packet Pg. 204 At t a c h m e n t : i - A p p l i c a n t P a r k s C r e d i t P r o p o s a l ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n )  OASP 2.3.4a.ii: The proposed parkland can be provided without reducing the number of residential units anticipated for the property, as illustrated by the range of Total Estimated Units shown on [OASP] Table A-2 (Appendix A). Summary: As proposed, the West Creek project includes a total of 172 units, which exceeds the number of units anticipated for the two sites by the OASP, which identifies a combined range of 143-157 units. This has been accomplished by designing space-efficient small units, and siting the parkway homes with front doors along a pedestrian parkway.  OASP 2.3.4a.iii: The provision of additional parkland will not impact the ability of Orcutt Area development to finance parkland acquisition costs identified in Chapter 8, Public Facilities Financing, because other funding sources insure the feasibility of financing this parkland acquisition. Other sources can include the following: 1. Grant funding for parkland acquisition; 2. Development in the Orcutt Area in excess of the 937 units used to estimate available fees for parkland acquisition in Chapter 8, making more money available for parkland acquisition than previously anticipated; 3. City funding of parkland acquisition to meet regional parkland needs, if approved by the City Council. Summary: The West Creek project is proposing 15-29 units beyond that anticipated by the OASP, which would lead to an excess in available fees from these sites beyond those anticipated. This would at least partially off-set some of the requested reduction in park fees. The proposed development even with the inclusion of the park area exceeds originally anticipated density, which is encouraged by the OASP. Fee Summary  The OASP fee calcs assumed 937 total units, this is the average of their projected units (Table A-2, 892-979 units) o 523 SFR (pg 8-8) o 414 MFR (pg 8-8)  The OASP (page 8-2) assumes a total cost of 8,126,000 o Parks & Rec = 4,448,000 o Parkland = 3,678,000  Fees are allocated on OASP page 8-5 o Parks & Rec SFR = 5,352 * 523 = 2,799,096 o Parks & Rec MFR = 3,983 * 414 = 1,648,962 o Parkland SFR = 4,425 * 523 = 2,314,275 o Parkland MFR = 3,293 * 414 = 1,363,302 o Total = 8,125,635  West Creek fees as originally projected in OASP o 97 MFR (avg of projected range, 91-103) * 7,276 = 705,772 o 54 SFR (avg of projected range, 52-56) * 9,777 = 527,958 o total Maddalena / Mid-State fees anticipated per OASP = 1,233,730 1.i Packet Pg. 205 At t a c h m e n t : i - A p p l i c a n t P a r k s C r e d i t P r o p o s a l ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n )  Updated fees for current fiscal year per unit count in OASP (combo of both properties), specific to West Creek: o 97 MFR (avg of projected range, 91-103) * 9,575 = 928,775 o 54 SFR (avg of projected range, 52-56) * 13,012 = 702,648 o total fees anticipated per OASP after fee increases = 1,631,423 (397,693 increase)  Actual fees as projected with smaller average unit size, but within anticipated density- unit range: o 105 * 9,575 = 1,005,375 o 67 * 13,012 = 871,804 o total = 1,877,179 o difference = 245,756 (available for credit with NO reduction to OASP assumptions at current increased rates) Parks & Recreation Commission Action (11-4-15) At their second meeting reviewing the project, the Parks & Recreation Commission took two separate actions regarding the parks proposal. Motion: (Baker /Regier) Recommend City Council's acceptance of the West Creek project as proposed design is consistent with the OASP and General Plan criteria and policy guidance for the design of parks and open space. Approved: 5 yes: 2 no: 0 absent Motion: (Regier/Baker) Support partial project "credit" relief of Parkland Development fees in return for assurance that the park features are developed and continue discussions with the applicant to explore creative solutions concerning ongoing park and proposed park amenity maintenance. Approved: 7 yes: 0 no: 0 absent Conclusion: Given the greater number of units than anticipated in the OASP for the site and current parkland fees that have increased over time, the project will generate fees in excess of about $250,000 from what was originally projected. Given this situation as well as the substantial benefits to the community of the park spaces to be provided, the applicant requests a reduction in parkland fees in the range of $250,000 to up to 50% of the total fee amount, consistent with the OASP program guidance. 1.i Packet Pg. 206 At t a c h m e n t : i - A p p l i c a n t P a r k s C r e d i t P r o p o s a l ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) WEST CREEK PARK CONTEXT MAP B R O A D S T R A I L R O A D O R C U T T R D ORCUTT RD West Creek 1/4 Mile Radius Equals 5 Minute Walk Sinsheimer Park Daman-Garcia Sports Fields Neighborhood Park French Park Date: 12-18-14 1.i Packet Pg. 207 At t a c h m e n t : i - A p p l i c a n t P a r k s C r e d i t P r o p o s a l ( 1 3 2 7 : W e s t C r e e k S u b d i v i s i o n ) WEST CREEK VTM#3083 Orcutt Area Specific Plan City Council Hearing May 17, 2016 Slide 1 Staff Recommendations – West Creek VTM3083 •Conduct public hearing •Adopt a Resolution approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (Attachment A) •Adopt a Resolution approving a Vesting Tentative Tract Map #3083 for the project (Attachment B) •Consider Planning Commission recommendations for directional items including: •consider prohibiting a project swimming pool •provide special attention to reducing retaining wall heights as part of the final engineering design Slide 2 Advisory Body Background – West Creek VTM3083 12-01-2014: ARC Conceptual Review – project continued with direction 03-04-2015: PRC Conceptual Review – project introduction - discussion of proposed parks 10-18-2015: ARC Conceptual Review – review new residential designs and grading – direction to applicants – recommendations to PC & CC 11 -04-2015: PRC Review – continued project discussion of proposed public and private parks – recommendations to PC & CC 04-13-2016: PC Public Hearing Review – conducted public hearing and developed recommendations for CC 05-17-2016: Council Public Hearing Review – hearing tonight Future: ARC and PRC Final Reviews – TBD Future: CC Review of Final Map and Improvement Plans - TBD Slide 3 City Council Public Hearing May 17, 2016 •Applicant Request for Vesting Tentative Tract Map #3083 •2010 Final EIR for the Orcutt Area Specific Plan and a 2016 Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration addressing site-specific issues •Proposed Findings, Mitigation Measures and Conditions of Approval presented for CC consideration and action West Creek Site Slide 4 West Creek VTM#3083 Project Proposal Overview •18.3 acre Site Area •Two (2) parcels combining the Maddalena and Mid-State OASP properties •105 Multi-Fam du’s •67 Single-Fam du’s •2.20 acres parks •2.80 acres OS Slide 5 West Creek VTM#3083 Project Construction Phasing •Final Map recorded in a single phase •Construction would occur in three (3) overall phases •Condos Phase 1 – then SFR follows Slide 6 West Creek VTM#3083 Architectural Character - SFR Slide 7 West Creek VTM#3083 Architectural Character - MFR Slide 8 Key Planning Commission Public Hearing Discussion Items - April 13, 2016 •Parking space reductions in MFR area due to Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDMP) •Imposition of energy saving measures •Require any secondary access needed for the project be open to public use and similar in design •Receive presentation by applicant and discuss parklands fee credits Slide 9 West Creek VTM#3083 •Applicant’s Proposal for Public Parklands Dedication and Improvements in-lieu of Park Fees •Applicant’s Proposal credits = ~2.35 acres parks and open space Slide 10 Key Staff Analysis Issues – West Creek VTM3083 •Environmental Review - 2010 OASP FEIR and 2016 IS-MND •Public Parks and Parklands Fee Credits •Affordable Housing Program •Site Grading •On- and Off-site Circulation •Project Phasing – Final Mapping and Construction •City Infrastructure to Support West Creek Development •Architectural Design Program Slide 11 Staff Recommendations – West Creek VTM3083 •Conduct public hearing •Adopt a Resolution approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (Attachment A) •Adopt a Resolution approving a Vesting Tentative Tract Map #3083 for the project (Attachment B) •Consider Planning Commission recommendations for directional items including: •consider prohibiting a project swimming pool •provide special attention to reducing retaining wall heights as part of the final engineering design Slide 12 Staff Recommendations – West Creek VTM3083 •Planning Commission directional items: •consider prohibiting a project swimming pool The City does not have regulations limiting swimming pools, and the Utilities Department is not concerned with water use for a pool.
