Wonderful. Public hearing conditional use permit CUP24Dash00013. Commission recognizes Melanie Henry, associate planner. Hi, Melanie.

Good evening commissioners and tonight's attendees. I just realized that I did make a typo, my cover sheet says CUP twenty four zero zero zero twelve. It should say 13 as you did announce. Tonight's item includes a conditional use permit to construct a tow yard with a 1,390 square foot office building to support administrative services. The subject site is approximately 1.84 acres of vacant land located on the North Side Of Lilac, approximately 900 feet West of G Avenue.

Some direct adjacent properties are vacant while others include industrial developments with various uses such as manufacturing, automotive repair, and warehousing. As seen on the general plan land use map, the site and the surrounding sites are located in the general industrial I2 zone. This zoning designation permits for the heaviest types of industrial uses, however, a tow yard does require a conditional permit review and approval by the Planning Commission. This is the site plan that is proposed for the project, which includes screen walls to enclose the rear perimeter of the site, paved vehicle storage behind the screen walls, a basin meeting retention requirements, an office building of thirteen ninety two square feet, public parking at the front, 7,990 square feet of landscaping, and street improvements along Lilac, all of which meet development standards for the proposed tow yard use. Here is a zoomed in portion of the site plan focusing on the front area of the project site.

As shown, the access to the site will be provided through two thirty two foot wide drive approaches from Lilac Street along with installation of all required street improvements. In addition, the project complies with the development code's minimum requirements for pedestrian and vehicular circulation as well as on-site parking and landscaping as previously stated. The proposed office building is consistent with the architectural requirements of the development code. As shown, the design incorporates articulated massing, clean lines, and a balanced facade composition with prominent vertical elements at the primary elevation that frame the entry and reduce the perceived scale of the structure while enhancing visual interest. The exterior features a durable stucco finish with a stone veneer wainscope complemented by metal awnings that provide additional articulation.

And here is a rendering of the proposed development providing a better visual representation of how the project will look once developed. Staff would also like to note that while the project complies with the applicable development standards of a vehicle tow yard facility, several conditions of approval have been included to ensure that the site operates and is maintained in an orderly and compliant manner. These conditions include the paving of the vehicular storage areas, installation of screen walls in accordance with the approved site plan, restricting storage and operation areas located behind the screen wall, limiting the storage of passenger vehicles only for a maximum of thirty days and requiring the site to be properly maintained and kept free of debris, inoperative materials, and excessive outdoor storage. Lastly, the project is CEQA exempt under the section 15,332 infill development lots. The exemption applies to developments on sites less than five acres.

Additionally, the site does not contain any Joshua trees but will be required to provide a burrowing owl survey thirty days prior to ground disturbance. In summary, staff finds that the proposed project is consistent with the policies and goals of the city's general plan and complies with applicable standards of the development code. The project is compatible with the surrounding industrial land uses and is appropriate for the site. As condition, the proposed development is not expected to adversely impact surrounding areas. And that is the end of my presentation and I'm available for any questions.

Commissioners, do we have any questions?

I don't.

That's a nice looking building. Quick question. With the rendering, I saw grass. Is is it that going to be actual turf or is it artificial turf?

No. It would be required to meet our landscape requirements, which does not allow for any grass or turf. It's just to provide a visual.

Yes. Okay. I'm just curious, would it be gravel and like drought tolerant type landscape in the front?

Because I mean,

it actually looked really good if it was turf.

Correct. It would be drought tolerant. So we would have landscaping that is 100% rock coverage with desert like plants.

Okay. Thank you.

I do have a couple of comments. I noticed that the basin was oversized, if I read correctly, the drainage basin.

Is sized to meet the impervious area and there's this is pretty much covered in impervious area. So it's sized to handle that volume.

Is it oversized though? I thought I read somewhere where I saw it was oversized.

There may be a bulking factor built in. I don't recall.

2,201 cubic foot required, 5,420 cubic foot provided.

Yes, so they gave a two times bulking factor on that, which is great.

Is that standard? Or would they have been able to get away with just 2,300 cubic feet?

The requirement is just to do in this instance well, if it's over an acre, it's the difference between pre and post. As long as they meet their required volume

What's the actual what does that turn into as far as the area, perimeter, the

length and width? Of the basin? Yes.

Oh, 171. I see that there. And then probably wow, that just seems so extreme. And then my second question had to do with what is going to be the use for the garage door? I didn't see that in this, but I saw it in your presentation.

I do believe through the plan checks, they had that as storage for the office space. So storage in any type of deliveries.

So does the the tenant if they were to add like repair or something, I mean, are they gonna be doing some work on these vehicles that they're storing or what are what are we?

There is no vehicle repair being proposed. If they were to propose that at that time, it would be a change in the use, different from tonight's approval if approved, and they would have to come back through for approval of that vehicle repair.

And would that require a so my third comment was what is going to be the lot coverage where they're storing the vehicles? Is it going to be asphalt or?

The vehicle storage for the paving?

The towing. They're three inch asphalt. Over compactive Maybe

if the applicant is here they can tell us. I would like to

give a

summary of the operations. Thank you.

Well we could definitely open that up. So we're going go ahead and announce the time. I'm sorry. Oh, you're good.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. Well, we can finish with questions.

Either way.

I apologize.

I'll throw my question out and then maybe we'll get it answered in the presentation. Okay. Just questions regarding any EV receptacles if they're planned or if that's going to be done with like a mobile for any EVs that may be brought into the facility.

Thank you.

The project would be conditioned to meet the minimal EV charging requirements. I don't know exactly what that is, but it is within the conditions for it to meet that code.

Thank you.

Alright, so we're gonna go ahead and open up the public comment period at 06:44. And we're invited by the applicant. So we're a little out of out of whack this evening, but that's okay. And then any representative, if you need one, to comment on this item. So welcome.

To hear us out. I'm so humbled. I wasn't even prepared for this, but I'm gonna do my best. So in regards to your question, yes, we do plan on putting asphalt. That's gonna be pretty much the main thing we're gonna be doing there. The storage part, we're not going be working on any cars, any trucks. There's no repairs being done. The whole reason for this thing was because we have I don't want to call them friends, but we've been requested by, you know, Victorville CHP that for us to maybe start a yard because we have an existing yard in Rialto already. So we're looking at moving a little bit on the north end up here. What was another thing? I'm sorry that maybe wanted to know.

The retention basin.

The retention basin?

Well That's an engineering thing.

Yeah. I'm kinda yeah. We kinda yeah. I was hoping he'd be here today. I'm sorry he's not here.

I know. No worries.

Forgive us. Yeah. But I think he went a little bit above and beyond what was required, but that's just because we didn't wanna miss the minimal requirements. You know? So with the first question that you had asked about the square footage on but our operation hours are are only gonna be from eight to five. That's when we would open our office. At the most, we're probably gonna have maybe three trucks parked there at the yard. They're gonna be out on the field. And then the car stored, they usually don't stay for more than thirty days at a time. I don't know if that helps or makes a difference. It does? Thank you so much. I'll join

us a lot. Appreciate you. Thank you. You. Alright. Thank you very much.

Good luck.

Thank you. Alright. Commission invites those members of the public to comment upon this item to address the commission. Do we have any white cards?

I have no white cards, Chair.

Alright. Alright. So that there's no white cards, we're going to go ahead and close the public comment period at 06:46. Commissioners, do we have any more discussion, questions, concerns? Mark

and I have looked at a lot of drainage around the town and I think that I'm sure that he's, Mark, you've done the due diligence for the impervious and if they're going above and beyond, I would imagine I don't think I mean, if we're doing extra in light of what we just went through this year

Right.

I think that's commendable that he's cutting out

I agree.

Some of his parking area to accommodate more more retention on-site, and we've had a lot of problems. So I think that that's I mean, I would commend them for giving that space up. Yeah. Exactly. And I also think the comment about CHP asking them to think about putting a yard up here that says that they're they must be a reputable company if the CHPs are asking them or requesting them to do that for service.

Yeah. I agree.

I'm good.

I'll make a motion to approve CUP 20 four-thirteen and resolution PC 202,607.

Do we have a second?

I'll second.

Motion passes, five-zero.

Great, that's gonna be a good looking building. Alright, item three conditional use permit CUP 26Dash0006 Commission requests staff report from assistant planner Mary Cruz.

Good evening commissioners and attendees. Tonight, I will be presenting conditional use permit CUP26Dash0006, a request to allow for the relocation of an existing Dollar Tree store. The site is within the neighborhood commercial zone of the Main Street and Freeway Corridor specific plan. Intended uses, to name a few, are retail sales, grocery stores, banks and financial institutions. The aerial shows the site is completely developed with on and off-site improvements.

The site to the north is vacant zoned neighborhood commercial. Properties to the east and south are also within the neighborhood commercial zone and are developed with a multi tenant commercial center. The site to the west across 11th Avenue is zoned office commercial and includes a Walgreens pharmacy. The applicant is requesting approval to relocate an existing Dollar Tree store into the vacant commercial building located at 15510 Main Street. The project site is located at the North East Corner Of Main Street and 11th Avenue on approximately 1.96 acres sorry.

It's developed commercial site with a vacant 16,921 square feet commercial building formerly occupied by the Rite Aid. The existing vacant commercial building with associated parking, landscaping, and on-site improvement is consistent with the city's development code. The building has remained vacant for approximately eight months following the closure of Rite Aid in August 2025. The property also contains an existing drive through facility and former garden center area both of which are proposed to be removed as part of the project improvement. Building colors will remain the same with future possibility of architectural change.

As previously mentioned, project includes site improvements consisting of removal of the existing drive thru facility and upgrades to the landscape. Additionally, restriping of the parking lot. Removal of the garden center will enhance the diamond feature on the west side of the building. The improvements will enhance site functionality and eliminate obsolete features and improve overall site conditions. These improvements are intended to modernize the property and support reinvestment along the Main Street corridor.

As you recall on 05/19/2026, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing permanent regulations on single price overstock discount stores also known as SPODS requiring approval of a conditional use permit. The map shows the existing SPODS within a two mile radius along Main Street. The proposed tenant exceeds exceeds this proposed tenant space exceeds the 15,000 square foot threshold identified within the ordinance. Staff has determined that the Planning Commission review is appropriate due to the project's operational characteristics and due to the minor difference in square footage. It is important to note the request includes a relocation of an existing Dollar Tree.

Location currently open operating at 15759 Main Street within the shopping center at Main Street and 9th Avenue. The relocation will not increase the total number of spots uses citywide. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC-twenty 20 six-eight approving CUP26-six. And that concludes my presentation. I am available for any questions you may have.

Thank you, Mary Cruz. Commissioners?

How does it feel to be in the hot seat?

Proud, though.

No, I think there's a good move to get some businesses into vacancies to minimize blight in the community. We have enough of that already. So hopefully, this will help the community a little bit there. So thank you.

Thank you.

So I guess for me, I'd like to fill the Rite Aid's too, but at the same time, we're creating another vacancy. And I myself have sat in front of that that Dollar Tree and a couple others. And, I mean, I've personally witnessed more transactions outside The store provides. In that the store provides. Yeah.

And I we're moving we're move I feel like we'd be moving a problem to a new location, And I'm not I'm just not sure about that. Why are we why are we moving across the street? I guess would be my question. Is is it just a relocation for better Main Street frontage? Or is that have they

So they will be adding additional landscape to that. Any empty areas, they're gonna be filling that with our desert landscape. They're also gonna be, like I said, removing the garden area, just cleaning up the site. I have received a call from the general manager, I believe he is, and he's already told us, hey, you guys have anybody out there, you know, let us know. We would be happy to come out and, you know, continue to clean up the site. We wanna make sure that the site looks very well

At the

presentable at the corridor.

At the old location.

At the new location. Location. The old location, it is part of the condition that they will be they will not have two business license. They will close out one and completely remove the signage and any equipment and then open the other one.

And that's next to the stators that shut down?

Correct.

So that whole that entire almost entire shopping center would be vacant. That

said the they're not the property owners of that facility. They're leasing there, right?

Correct.

So there's other property owners that are responsible for the issues.

Yes.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Anybody know if does anyone know if Dollar Tree Inc. Bought the site, the new site? Did they buy the building or are they going to lease that too?

So the applicant is here tonight and I think they could address your earlier question about why are they relocating and then also whether they're purchasing or not the applicant is here tonight.

Well, mean, I would think that'd be the only plausible solution. I mean, I wouldn't want be in a shopping center where the majority of the stores are not. I mean, well, I shouldn't say that. The big boxes are are gonna be empty now, which, you know, Boston said years before, you know, big boxes are not always as popular as they used to be with Amazon. I think it's a shame that that Stater Brothers shopping center, I hope there's some interest soon for that.

Very interesting situation, but I think it's great. Yeah. People shop at Dollar Tree. If they're making money in this town, then I guess they serve a need, but I'm not quite sure about the transactions you're referring to. I used to live right down the street. I used to live, know, many years right down the street on 8th. So I know the, transient populations, they they come in spurs. You know? It it's like this. It's like this over the years.

So I'm hoping that at the new location, it'd be less because it's it's it's more in the bird's eye view. A lot of lot of traffic, the police stations right down the street. So it's a good looking building, a lot newer than the one they're coming out of. And if they had a vested interest like a ownership of that corner, then I think that would even give them more incentive to be good citizens. I mean, The businessmen in the city.

The police stations are right across the street from the one that they're in now. And I mean, if they are leasing

No.

No. The right

They're right. Well, right. Okay. They're leasing now. Alright. Okay.

Yeah. I'm just saying. Well,

it's not on a main it's set back from and I consider 11th And Main Intersection.

If I could just add a little bit to the transactions and everything that happened outside. If the project were to be approved tonight, there would be new conditions that aren't currently in place for the existing Dollar Tree store at its current location. So some of the conditions that were added were one of them was if there's continued calls for code enforcement, it is a cause for potential revocation of the conditional use permit and it could come back before the Planning Commission for reconsideration.

Well, that's why we made sure they came back as a CUP because you didn't have that on this administration. Right.

That was not a that's not currently a condition and it was not previously a CUP before. Right. And then there's also added conditions about site upkeep and maintenance as Mario Cruz mentioned. So the continued maintenance of the site and the removal of any litter or debris or anything that's in the parking lot. Once again, those are subject to continued compliance and could potential it could potentially result in having to come back to the Planning Commission.

Well, know, I just came back from a lovely vacation overseas and in the country of Germany, people are fined and heavily I'm not so sure about the commercial side, but for residential sites. And if their property isn't in ship shop shape, it's a bad penalty from the German government. Found that interesting.

No. I know it's not a new permit, but we've we've spots have moved around as we as we know already along Main Street. They've moved buildings, they've closed, they've reopened. And there's I would imagine, especially with removing the garden, there's going to be a lot of costs involved with opening a new location. They're already in a location now.

I mean, I'm all for business. We have the business in a position where they're at now. I'm just not so sure about moving to a different location.

Right. But I think to what Ryan was saying though, the advantage for the city is that it's under the new regulations. So Right. So that is a win. Understood.

Sam, the quiet one over here.

One thing to consider. I I I'm looking at the removal of the garden area and when that's being removed, a good utilization of that area and that remodel may be I know with the one near where I live, there's a lot of display and smaller items that are kept outside at the front of the store, and it clutters the walkway where carts and walkway can kind of be cluttered there. So kind of thinking about the concept of when that's being removed, if they're going to have outdoor display product utilization, finding a way to put it there where that sidewalk in front of those parking stalls can still be free and clear when they remove that.

Yeah. From my knowledge, they won't they won't have any outside outside storage or displays.

Okay. I don't believe that's currently a condition, but it can also be added as a condition if you wanted to do so.

Could you elaborate on what you're talking about?

Did you want to?

Yeah. The dollar

When they remove the outdoor gardening area?

Yeah. When the removal of the outdoor garden area could be conditioned to retain a setback of stored outside product from parking stalls. I don't know what a development code distance is from sidewalk, but that would probably

need For to free and clear for passage for Yeah. So people are

not tripping over. Progress, walkway.

You're talking about the one on Eye. Eye. Yeah. I don't think it was it just wasn't designed, I don't think, to have all that stuff out in the front. Yeah.

Oh, like Home Depot displays out front and Yes. Oh, that kind of stuff. I've never seen a Dollar Tree do that.

On I Avenue, that one, they put quite a bit of product out in the front and it gets cluttered. You got to kind of walk around and you

can't Through the parking space.

The parking lot, yes.

Is that Dollar General you're talking about?

Yeah.

Oh,

really? On I Avenue, they put stuff out there? I'll have to pay attention. It's a different store.

Yeah. Alright. So, I'm going to go ahead and open it up the public or the the hearing part. So, so we open up the time to invite the applicant and the representative to comment on this item. So, is the applicant here?

Yes, we do have representatives today.

Welcome.

Good evening all. Ricardo Hurtado. I'm the real estate manager for Dollar Tree. Thank you for having us tonight.

I'm Laurie Guzman, the regional director for Dollar Tree.

Lab operations.

So do you guys want to ask him your questions?

Did you guys buy the building?

Yes. We're under contract to buy the building. Yes.

Oh, you are?

We are under contract. Yes. And we wouldn't do it for relocation for a lease. I mean, with ownership, we can control our destiny as opposed to being with the lease. It's kinda hard to push a ladder or do us a maintenance to upkeep any have a vacancy. It's a little challenging, but we're gonna be on hard corner. It's gonna be beautified, and we take pride in operating our 9,000 stores.

So is this store gonna be bigger than the last than the one on Main? The one you have now?

It is.

By

by about 3,000 square feet. It's just we're gonna operate in the exact same size. Yeah. So it'd be about 17,000 square feet. We currently operate in thirteen five. Yeah.

And how long were you there in Main Street? What year did you open there on 8th And Main or 9th And Main?

We opened that store back in

have my notes here.

Maybe 2000?

2004.

Oh, yes. There you go.

Twenty years.

Yes. It's a long time.

It's a

long time.

That's great. Thank you Typically, for investing we in our stay open.

We try not to close stores. That's not the business we're in.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you for bringing your products. With the way prices are going, I would say a lot of people are buying at the more affordable places to shop. I know I did many a times living down the street from you guys. Thank you.

Thank you for having yourselves.

If you could just elaborate on the intention usage area of the garden area with that remodel.

I don't think we do that.

No, we don't do that. We don't we wouldn't put anything outside.

Okay. It's just something area we just don't use and we don't want it for vacancies or anything. We just remove it out of it. It's an extra expense, but we'd rather do that to have that exposure to other things.

Are you going to remove the block area and the overhang and all that as well as the drive thru.

The drive thru.

That's the

drive thru as well.

It's a little more expensive on our project, but I think it's in the long run, it's better, building look better and it just avoids on how Reduce

possible issues.

That's correct.

Yes. Headaches, removal of headache or reduction of headaches.

That's right. Exactly.

Is there have you guys had any consideration moving over there to to for security to ramp up security or more security? I mean, I think the idea of moving over there, you because it is on a high traffic corner and you're not set back kinda like out of sight, out of mind, you know, from the from the America's Tire, you you can barely see

Yeah.

Your your sign. Right? So you are kinda tough back there, and that's probably why you get more transactions of the unwanted. And I'm sure you're aware of it, but I'm just wondering, you know, once that location's vacant, we're those transactions probably won't end, but are they gonna come over there? I don't know.

I'm just they seem to be they seem to be a norm with the Spod stores. I don't know why, but it just happens from my personal experience, from my personal witness. So I'm just wondering since you know how it is over there, is there going to be maybe a process or an idea of trying to mitigate that?

I think, personally, I can give you my opinion. Give be on a hard corner, being with so much exposure just by default it's going to be less.

That should help. Yeah. I would think so.

Right.

Yeah. And I know you see the outside bedrooms are hanging out. But company wide, we have a shrink number, meaning theft, etcetera. And this store is actually pretty low compared to nationwide. And every retailer, as you know, unfortunately is having the same problem. We try to deal with it in different ways and forms, but we've fortunately been doing a good job. You would think dollar store, they don't steal, but they do. Thanks to Lori and her team.

Yeah. That's Yeah.

They do. It doesn't matter if it says Dollar Tree outside or Macy's.

Yeah. Are you planning to keep the thrifty ice cream?

No. But if I can get the thrifty scoop, I'll be very happy.

All right. Well, any other questions? Don't have any.

I guess that is a good question. Do you guys don't sell refrigerated items now? Do you? Yeah.

We do.

You do? Yeah. Was there refrigeration

Yeah.

In the old store? Yeah. It wasn't always. Yes. Yeah. We have freezer and refrigerated. And that Dollar Tree right next to the old Stater Brothers on me? Mhmm. Well, it's been I've been out of that neighborhood for over ten years. Yeah. Most of our stores have that now. You're going to add more or keep it about at the the new location? Meaning more Freezers and I

haven't seen the design, I would assume yes. Of the Fridays that were taken across the country because they're larger sizes, so it's just a sales floor square footage and percentage. Just a little larger, more doors.

Yeah. Because they had refrigerators in there too. Rite Aid. Yeah. Quite a lot. That's interesting.

And the ice cream area.

Yeah. A lot of people are upset that Stater Brothers shut down right here because, you know, now you either gotta go to Maine or over the bridge. So everyone is kind of complaining a little bit. We've gotten some complaints about that. Yeah.

Well, good luck. Thank you.

Thank you. I

think it's a good move.

Thank you.

Appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah. Further questions.

Okay.

Alright. Thank you guys so Appreciate your time. Alright. So, we invite the members of the public to comment on this item to address the commission. Do we have any white cards?

I have no white cards here.

Alright. Closing public comment period. 07:09. Is there no further white cards? Commission discussion. Do we have any other discussion before we want to make a motion? Or do we want to make a motion?

I'll move to adopt resolution number PCDash2026Dash08 approving conditional use permits CUP26Dash00006.

I'll

make the second.

Motion passes for one. Apologies for zero, one abstain. Alright.

Item number four, tenant track map number 20637TT23-four. Commission recognizes Edgar Gonzalez for Stafford.

Hi, Edgar. Hey. How you doing? Welcome. Hi.

There you go. There we go. Hi, HR. I'm members of the Planning Commission. Today's item is going to be tenant track map number 206372223Dash4 which will subdivide two existing parcels of 4.1 gross acres into 22 single family residential lots and two common later lots.

The subject property as well as all surrounding properties are within the R 14500, which is a single family residential zone. This zone allows for small lots of divisions and minimum lot size of 4,500. The site is proposed or it's located at the Southwest corner of Oak Valley Street and Fuente Avenue. There you can see on the north side and on the east side, it's surrounded by single family residential tracks. To the west side is the Bacon Lot which is was subdivided as a track but not yet constructed and to the south side is just the Bacon Lot.

The current site has two parcels. There is a small people think it's a parcel there on the center but it's not a parcel that was eventually right away that was that was included as part of a turnaround for a a previously approved project that included this kind of the same similar scenario of a track but in two different phases. So as part of phase one, they included that right of way for a turnaround. But it's not again, it's not part of a parcel, it's just a right of way. As part of this project, eventually it will be vacated and will be kind of similar to subdivision that you see on the West Side.

The R 14500 allows the density of eight dwelling units per acre. The tenant parcel will create 22 new single family residential lots on four point gross acre, resulting in density of five point dwelling units per acre, which is far below the maximum density of eight units per acre. If you can see on the slide here, this is a tentative track map that includes the 22 single family lots with a cul de sac. The letter it's gonna include two letter lots. Letter a, it's it's gonna be for the retention basin, which is gonna be about 4,100 square feet.

The other letter lot is gonna be along Fuente Avenue and eventually will wrap around Hollister. That'll be behind the the back of the lots. So that will be retained for landscape easement only and it'll be about six six thousand seven hundred and thirty eight square feet. The smallest lot single family lot for this subdivision is going be about 5,391 square feet. The average lot for the subdivision is about 5,880 square feet and the larger lot it's about 7,691 square feet.

The proposed lots comply with a single family residential r one forty five hundred zone which again allows a minimum of 4,500 square feet. It also requires 50 foot interior lots, 60 foot corner lots, a minimum lot width of 75 foot, which all the lots comply with. The proposed lot sizes are also aligned with existing track single family lots to the north. So to the north, again, range between five thousand three hundred and seven and nine thousand hundred and thirty eight, which is kinda consistent with this proposed track. Access to the lots will be provided by Canyon View Avenue, which is a brand new street with a cul de sac.

The cul de sac will be terminating or reconnecting to the Oak Valley Street as well. The development will require a single family lots to construct six foot high split fence 10 block walls along all sides visible from the right of way and as well as interior sides not visible from the right of way will be required to construct a six foot high precision block wall. Additional walls will be provided as a combination wall, which will be around the retention basin shown on Lot A. This will be a two foot high split phase block wall along with a four foot wire fence on the top. The proposed project will connect to an or will connect and extend the existing eight inch waterline and a 10 inch sewer line along Oak Hill or Oak Valley Avenue through the new street along Cannon Butte Avenue as well.

The project will also establish a 15 foot wide water easement along the eastern portion of Lot 11 there on the south side. And, we'll also connect to an existing eight inch water line along Hollister Street, therefore, connecting a loose water loop system. The required project will also construct full stream improvements along the size of Cannon Butte Avenue, designated as a 60 foot local street, halfway street improvements along Oak Valley Street and Hollister, also designated as a 60 foot wide local street, and halfway street improvements along Fuente Avenue designated as a eight foot wide secondary arterial. The street improvements would include sidewalk, curb, and gutter and and street lights. Approval of development also required adoption of initial study mitigating negative declaration pursuant to the California Quality Act, CEQUA.

A and then ISMND was prepared for the project and concluded that the project will not have any significant impacts on their environment upon implementation of recommended mitigation measures. The initial study was circulated for public review from 02/11/2026 through March 2026. So this was sent to public agencies as well as neighboring properties within 300 foot radius. There was four common letters received. Some of the four four common letters I received are shown below.

It was on Mojave air quality management district, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California Department of Water Resources, and we also received a public comment. The consultant prepared response letter that were sent to the commoners, which addressed the concerns raised and conclude that the project will not have any significant impacts on implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. The initial study was also updated to incorporate revisions to certain biomegation measures. The document, some of the or some of the comments that were included in here as well included a DMT screen analysis, best management practices. There was drainage concerns and sensitive species again that were responded by the consultant in the response letter and were included to the staff report while also updated to the city's website.

So with that, in summary, the project conforms with the policies of the city's general plan. It meets the standards of development code. So staff recommends adoption of resolution p c twenty twenty six dash o nine that will approve tenant parcel map number 206372223Dash0004 and adoption of mitigating a declaration and a mitigation monitor and reporting program. So with that, that concludes my presentation. I'm available for any questions.

Thank you, Edgar. Commissioners, do you have any questions? Staff?

I don't.

Did did we approve the map to just to the west of that?

Yes. Yes.

We did, didn't we?

Yes. The map just to the west with that, it's already recorded. Yeah. It hasn't been developed yet, but it's it's recorded as shown on your screen.

Is it the same developer?

Do you know if it's

I don't believe it's the same developer. The map to the west was recorded many years ago, like over ten years ago, I believe.

I thought we looked at one off of Hollister just last year.

The one that you're talking about North Of Hollister there on the opposite side of that recorded map. So that kind of box was barely approved, I think, last year or so.

Okay. Okay. I was looking at it.

Yes. That created a connection basically through the street to loop around all the way up.

Okay. Yes, that makes sense. Yes, I remember seeing this and

But yes, was a different developer Okay. That did

Thank you.

Anyone else before we open it up for public comment?

Yes, just a question. I see the detail here on Fuente, the proposed curb and gutter. I can't really see elevation there. But is this going to be storm drain collection, or is it just curb gutter to capture the flows that are going along Fuente there? I can't see the curb height. Is there storm drain collection in there along Fuente?

No. Fuente would just be surface flow conveyed around the track.

Okay. And the elevations on that curbing is suitable for the flows that go down Fuente?

Yes. The perimeter streets are eight inches curb and interior are typically six inches curb, unless they need to be taller for hydraulic purposes.

Okay. I just know it can capture and flow a lot down Fuente there. So just to make sure it doesn't erode and come back into the footings or the retaining wall that they have there. Thank you.

All right.

So we open the public comment period at 07:21 and invites the applicant, which I don't see the applicant here.

He's not here tonight.

Okay. So moving on to, we invite members of the public comment on this item. Do we have any white cards?

I have no white cards chair.

Alright. With having no white cards, we close public comment period at 07:21 for this item. Commissioners, discussion or do we have a motion? I'm just excited people are still developing land and trying to provide homes at the cost of everything. So this is encouraging.

Hopefully, somebody will pick up the map next to it because they match nice that's going to be a good fit.

Agreed. Agreed.

All right. I'll move then to adopt Resolution Number PC-twenty20, approving tentative track map TT23-four and adopting the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

Do we have a second?

I'll second. Perfect. I'll second. Motion passes, five-zero.

Wonderful. All right, moving to planning division reports. Ryan Leonard.

Thank you. What

do got, sir?

So between our last planning commission meeting and tonight's meeting, we held two DRC meetings. At those DRC meetings, we approved a roughly handful of items, but all of the projects were pretty minor. We approved a couple of minor exceptions to reduce the side yard setback from, in most cases, it's five feet to four feet. We also approved a new pocket park within the Silverwood community for one of the tracks that's currently being built out there. But what I'm excited to report is at next week's DRC meeting, we have four items on the agenda.

Two of the items are pretty exciting, one of which will be a new Olive Garden that will be located South Of Main Street near the Target Center. That will be located at Main And Catawba, just south of the newer development that has occurred over across the street from the Target Center. And then the next item that will be approved at next week's DRC meeting will be a new McDonald's and Starbucks at Main And 7th. That would include the demolition of the existing, what used to be a gas station that is now a car dealership. And then it would be redeveloped with a Starbucks and a McDonald's drive thru restaurant.

That project was just recently approved about six or eight months ago. They're modifying their site plan slightly to include revisions to the drive through layout, and then they're adding some outdoor seating or indoor seating to the Starbucks. So they're increasing the footprint in the Starbucks. But both of those projects, I think, are pretty exciting projects that will be approved next week. And then other than that, our capital improvement program that we were planning to present tonight, as I mentioned, or as Leovy mentioned, that will be presented at next week's or next month's Planning Commission meeting.

Okay. And moving on to attorney report, we actually have the city attorney here. Welcome.

Thank you. Thanks for having me. I have no reports, but I'm glad to be here. And it went very smoothly today, so

thank you.

All right. No director report. All right, so we're going to go ahead and move to Planning Commission comments. I actually want to start off real short and then I'll hand it off to my commissioners. I love these things so much. You guys are rock stars. That's all

I wanted to say.

How come you got those? The I saw it on the thing there. All right, never mind. Thank you.

You want to start over?

No, no, it's already done. I'm good. I think everything so far, I see they're working on 7th and doing the construction. I saw the sign up for Jackaranda. So that's going to move forward, I see. So things are moving along, which that's a good thing.

I have nothing. I think I mean, I appreciate you guys. Again, I mean, all the reports that you guys put together, know it's I couldn't even imagine. It's a lot. So I think it's great that you guys do that. Thank you. And, yes, thank you for the for the bigger maps.

Yeah. Yeah.

They used to be this size because we used to fold them up. So you actually but we're not there yet. But we're still a paper, run permit system, one of the few cities left like that. I was hoping when we go oh, someone talked to me about that. I thought I'd see something being tested by now, but Come on. It's good to be back. I'm sorry I missed last month's meeting. I had a great time. It's so nice to get away, but it was also that much more pleasurable to come home. So I like like the street improvements that were made down 7th.

They're fantastic. I went and looked at the aqueduct, and that's exciting crossing at Ranchero. They've actually demolished everything in our building, the new walls for the bridge, I guess. And so what is progressing? There seem to be a lot more people living there, and it's nice to see that development going. School's gonna be out, so that'll be an interesting time of the year. And I thank staff. Congratulations to the junior planner. Great job tonight. And have a good evening.

Thank you for the work you put in to get this all prepared for us. I don't think we had any anything that was different than it was supposed to be. I did look forward to the capital improvements report. So next month, hopefully, we can see what you got coming down the line on that. Agree. The paving on 7th came out nice. Some of the recap and paving patch that was on Maple, though, almost tossed me out the window. But luckily, I had my seat belt on. So I don't know if they're different companies, but whoever did the work on 7th Street, let's keep them going. That's nice.

Yeah. Nice job.

Yeah. Really smooth. Did get to attend the Sizzling Summer Nights meet over at Sizzler. It's nice that we've got the skillet and the skillet sponsoring and Sizzler, and we had another group over there, another business that sponsored, put the event together. I know there's some competition with the gym right now and parking spaces over there, but we'll let the powers to be figure that out. I found a parking spot over there just fine. So, again, thank you for all your hard work.

Yeah. I agree. So moving on with that, I don't have much to say other than thank you for all your guys' hard work. Gonna go ahead and move to adjournment. Meeting is adjourned to the next regular meeting for 06/11/2026 at 630 East Chambers. Good night, everyone.

Good night. Alright. You would have loved the architectural.
