I apologize for getting these to you so late in the day, that said, attached are questions/comments for tonight PC meeting. I'm
still not sure if these questions are appropriate for tonight's agenda item, but I'm sure you will offer me guidance on this.
I am registered for the PC Academy.
Thanks for your time and help.

San Luis Ranch Questions.
1. ES.53 Cumulative Water Resources Impacts — Please explain how water
demand would exceed water supply?
2. 2.10 All affordable units are deed restricted. Will there be affordable rental
units in this project?
3. 2.14 and 4.2.114.6. Please explain again all options on a minimum of 50
acres to be reserved for farming for this project? Or should this be done at
the FEIR or the VTM..
4. 4.12-35 Please verify that at a minimum, an overpass on Prado rd. will be
completed by the end of phase 2.
5. 4.6.10 and 4.6.18 SB 2X requires 33% of electricity from renewable energy
by 2020. Avila Ranch conforms to this, 50% of units will have solar on roofs,
but San Luis Ranch does not have solar panels or solar canopies. Does staff
have any strategies to require SLR meets the same standards as AR?
6. 4.8.29 Is flood insurance required for this development?
7. 4.2.23 Approximately 2.5 ft of topsoil to be removed as fill. How will it
affect the continuing farm operations? The documentation provided by the
public is very compelling regarding the negative effects of this process.
Please provide alternative to securing fill dirt to raise the height in order to
build the project above the flood zone.
8. 4-3-21 The following items are inconsistent, 20,26,27,33,34,35,37. 1 am
concerned with the items that do not prepare these units for passive solar,
however, the remainder of items are still important. These are addressed
on the next page with mitigation measures. The doc states that the
mitigation measures MAY include but are not limited to ...... how is MAY
interpreted in this instance?
9. 4.11-8-9 Parkland is insufficient for this project. Request alternative with
full 5.8 acres.
10. 5-1. 546 units with 34 affordable. This is 6% of the project. Is there a way
to increase the percentage of affordable housing?
11. 5-2 Air quality, traffic and land use/policy is impact 1. Request an
alternative 5 using the minimum requirements of project as parameters.
12. Would the number of affordable units be reduced in alternative 4.
13. Increase the number and locations of electric vehicle charging stations, eg:
condo's and apartments.
