Residential projects pursuant to a specific plan of the California Environmental Quality Act, sequel guidelines located at the southeast corner of the intersection at White Rock Road and Ranch Cordova Parkway.

Thank you. And with the staff report?

Chair, before we start, I just wanted to Aileen Lee is our newest assistant planner, and we just wanted her to have an opportunity to give a presentation and get some practice in with in front of commission. Normally, you know, design review amendments are on put on consent public hearing, but we wanted to give her an opportunity, and you guys can all meet our newest planner. Great. Welcome.

Thank you. Good evening, chair, vice chair, and members of the planning commission. My name is Aileen Lee, assistant planner in the community development department. And this evening, I will be presenting the Coloma At Rio Del Oro Parcel 66 major design review amendment. So for some background, the project is zoned medium density and is located within the Rio Del Oro specific plan.

Coloma At Rio Del Oro Parcel 66 major design review was originally approved back in November 2024, and currently, production homes are under construction. Highlighted in blue on the screen is the project site at the southeast corner of White Rock Road and Rancho Cordova Parkway. Here is the approved tentative map, which includes a total of 132 single family lots. As part of this evening's request, the applicant is seeking a amendment to the previously approved major design review for the Coloma At Rio Del Oro Parcel 66 Subdivision. This proposed amendment would add two additional single story house plans to the existing four house plans.

These two new floor plans would range from approximately 1,200 square feet to 1,600 square feet. For some context, here are the floor plans of the major design review that was approved back in November 2024. Here are two single story house plans and two two story house plans that have been approved. As part of this evening's request, they are looking to add a plan five and a plan six. Plan five would be approximately 1,600 square feet with three elevation styles, including bungalow, farmhouse, and contemporary.

As for plan six, they are proposing two elevation styles, which are bungalow and farmhouse, and it is approximately 1,200 square feet in size. As proposed, the applicant is not seeking to make any changes to the previously approved landscape plans for Coloma at Rio Del Oro Parcel 66 Subdivision and would comply with all landscape standards as per the city's code. As for the general plan and zoning, the property, as noted previously, is located within the Rio Del Oro specific plan with a medium density general plan and zoning designation, which allows for 6.1 to 18 dwellings per acre. The proposed project is only for a design review amendment, and no other changes to the density or the residential use of the area is proposed. Furthermore, the project is also not requesting any modifications to development standards of the specific plan, and therefore, in staff's evaluation of the project, it has been determined to be consistent with the general plan and zoning.

As for environmental review, in evaluating the project, it is exempt per CEQA, otherwise known as California Environmental Quality Act, as per guideline section fifteen eighteen two, projects pursuant to a specific plan. Furthermore, the project has been analyzed as part of the Rio Del Oro specific plan EIR, and the major design review amendment would not result in any significant impacts and has been found to be in conformity with the environmental documents, and therefore, no further CEQA analysis is required. With this, staff is recommending that the planning commission determines the project to be in compliance with CEQA as per section fifteen eighteen two, projects pursuant to a specific plan, and adopt the resolution approving the major design review amendment for Coloma at Rio Del Oro Parcel Sixty Six subject to the findings, project plans, and conditions of approval. This concludes my presentation. Thank you so much.

I also do wanna note that the applicant here, Tom Gamut, is in the, audience for any further questions as well. Thank you.

Well, this is a this has been a good project already approved as as Aileen mentioned. So it's just, two more plans that we wanna bring. A lot of that's come from, public input. Our buyers have been requesting more single story plans in there, plus it also breaks up the amount of two story plans that are there. Some of the lots are a little narrower, and so this gives us some flexibility for that. It's a medium density project, so the setbacks are already a little bit smaller there. So having this flexibility helps us a lot certainly with driveways and things. I know that's come up in the past. We have some examples there too. Eileen can show that I know what the standards were developed as.

However, out here, we're the goal is always to be bigger than that, and the examples will show that if you wanted to see them. But, again, just trying to bring some more diversity to the community. So thank you.

Just curious. The the 1,200 square foot model Uh-huh. Is is that gonna be the smallest one?

That would be the smallest one.

There's there's a pretty good market for houses of that size.

There is, and it it's actually a little bit more affordable because it's a little bit smaller, which is helpful too. We we had hoped, honestly, that that the Rio De La Toro would sell a little bit better out the gate like this, but the Parcel 66 has been one of the better selling products that we've had out there. So this gives even a little more flexibility cost wise for folks.

On cost of ownership, utilities, air conditioning, heating is gonna be a lot less for less for square footage. So For sure. Thank you.

You bet.

Good to see you again, Tom.

Good to see you too, Lee. Alright. Thanks.

I think you have to open it up for public comment.

Thanks, Great job. Thank you. Yes. Alright. Public comment? No public comment. No item. Okay. We'll close the public comment. And do we need to make a motion?

I'll move the staff recommendation and the what do I have to do here? The staff recommendation and the proposed I'm looking right at it, but I can't read it. How about that? Equal exemption. Equal. Yeah. Adoption. Yeah. The determination. Will that suffice our city attorney, what I just said?

Yes. Moving the staff recommendation is sufficient.

Thank you.

That's it. Yep.

Pick one.

Great. For Stephanie, will you call roll?

Commissioner Devereaux Polley?

Yes.

Commissioner Hoon? Aye. Commissioner Raymond? Aye. Commissioner Prashat? Aye. Commissioner Stoss? Aye. Vice chair Stevenson?

Aye.

And chair Molden? Yes.

I did read my agenda packet even though I made it. Okay. Moving on to item 6.2.

Yes. The Steelridge specific plan amendment and tentative subdivision map amendment, project number PLND06250132, exempt pursuant to section one five one eight three, project consistent with the community planner zoning of the California Environmental Quality Act, CEQUA guidelines, Northeast Corner Of Ranch Cordova Parkway and Kiefer Boulevard within the Suns Creek sorry, Sun Creek specific plan area. Okay. And we have a staff report.

Right. Good evening, chair Malden and members of the planning commission and members of the public. I'm Lindsay Morrill, senior environmental planner with our planning division. And tonight, I'm presenting the Steele Ridge specific plan amendment and tentative parcel map amendment project. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Sun Creek specific plan to revise some of the land uses or some of the land use designations from low density residential and compact medium density residential to medium density residential.

The applicant is also requesting a tentative subdivision map amendment. The large lot map would create 26 large lots to facilitate future property transfers, infrastructure phasing, and development of the project. And the amended small lot map would subdivide 240 acres into 853 parcels and zone the lots in the southern portion of the plan area for medium density residential. This project is located in the Sun Creek specific plan area, which is shown here on the left circled in red. It's generally located West of Grant Line Road and East of Sunrise Boulevard.

The Sun Creek specific plan and this and its associated EIR was approved in 2013. The Sun Creek specific plan provides a blueprint for development of the area, including residential, commercial, recreational, and, preserve uses. It is broken up into different ownership groups, which is shown in the image on the right. The the storage property is highlighted in red. It's it is referred to in the Sun Creek specific plan as the Trevor Gilmartin property, and it also used to be known as Yager Ranch.

This table summarizes the changes in the land use designations being proposed. The amendment would change 16 acres of low density residential and 11.8 acres of compact medium density residential to medium density residential. The acreages of all the other land use types would, largely remain unchanged. There's an exception in the major roads category, with a 0.6 change, and that is due, to some slight revisions to the streets and landscape parcels near the, high density residential site. And, there is a 0.4 acre change from the community park site.

It's being moved to the adjacent school property to match the requirements for Quimby and LUFIs that are laid out in the specific plan. This is what the specific plan amendment would look like. The image on the left shows the existing land use designations, which were approved in 2022. The proposed amendment is shown on the right, where some of the residential land use designations in the southern portion of the plan area would be revised from low density residential and compact medium density residential to medium density residential. You can kinda see it highlighted on the left.

The the CMDR is in the corner, and then on the right, just most of that whole bottom area is now, would be MDR. And the specific plan amendment doesn't result in any substantial changes to any of the previously approved roadways, signage concept, trails, or open space areas, and, the total number of dwelling units would remain the same as, previously approved. So that was the specific plan amendment. And then the large lot map, the applicant has proposed a large lot tentative subdivision map that would create 26 lots, and this would facilitate future property transfers, phasing, and development of the project as shown here. The applicant has also proposed an amendment to the small lot tentative subdivision map.

The map on the left is the previously approved map from 2022. The map on the right is the proposed amendment. The amendment will include the same number of dwelling units previously approved in 2022, so there would still be a total of 950 dwelling units, 810 of which are single family lots. The applicant is proposing to reorient the alley loaded lots along Keefer Boulevard and Americanos Parkway. So on the left, the dark orange color in the bottom right corner, those are the alley loaded lots that were compact medium density residential.

Those are being replaced with a traditional single family lot layout to better reflect the needs of the current market and homebuyers. Modifications to the zoning designations would coordinate with the special plan the specific plan amendment and changing those LDR and CMDR to MDR, medium density residential. The small lap map also reflects the other changes previously mentioned, which is the transferring that 0.4 acre from the community park to the adjacent school site. And there are no other changes to the other land uses. So there's still 6.2 acres for the future village center, neighborhood green, a total of about 39 acres of wetland preserve, the high density residential sites remaining the same, etcetera.

This slide illustrates phasing plan, which has been slightly revised from, what was previously approved in 2022. And the phasing plan shows the logical and timely completion of the infrastructure and and roadway facilities required for build out of the storage property. For environmental, as I mentioned, the Sun Creek specific plan environmental impact report was approved in 2023. A mitigation monitoring and reporting program or MMRP was adopted as part of the EIR. The Steelridge project was analyzed in the EIR as part of the overall Sun Creek specific plan.

CEQA guidelines section one five one six two explains that a previously certified EIR only needs to be revisited if there are substantial changes or new information that would create new impacts or more severe impacts than what was previously disclosed. In this case, the project area is the same and the proposed specific plan amendment and tentative subdivision map amendment is consistent with the land uses in the EIR, which were residential. So impacts related to the project footprint and the development intensity would be the same. All future development in the project area and the rest of the Sun Creek specific plan are also subject to all applicable mitigation measures in that MMRP. And there's no other changes to the project that would require major revisions to the previous EIR.

The specific plan and map amendments are for land use designations that are being changed, from residential to residential, and the total number of dwelling units is not changing. So for these reasons, no further environmental analysis is required. I also wanted to highlight that there are additional permits, processes, and agency coordination that occurred beyond approval of the CEQA document. The Sun Creek specific plan area has a biological opinion from the US Fish and Wildlife Service that was issued in 2019 as well as a army corps section four zero four permit, section four zero one water quality certification from the state water board. And all of these permits are still active, and they're updated as or extended as needed with agency oversight.

And the applicant is also, completing their permit for the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan, which requires, a whole lot of studies. So they they are required to do updated biological surveys. And that entire permit undergoes agency review and approval. And the HCP permit also includes a land dedication agreement for the wetland preserve in the central portion of the Steel Ridge area, which would, sorry, which would protect approximately 39, acres of wetland habitat in perpetuity as envisioned in the, habitat conservation plan and the Sun Creek specific plan. So with that, staff recommends that the planning commission determine the project exempt from further seek review, waive the first reading, and introduce an ordinance for the specific plan amendment to the Sun Creek specific plan, and adopt the resolution approving the Steel Ridge large lot and small lot tentative parcel map amendment subject to the findings contained in the resolution, conditions of approval, and phasing plan.

So I just wanna clarify, chair, if I could get caught. But the way that it's listed in the, slide, it's a recommendation to city council since the specific plan amendment has to be approved by city council. So that's the motion that's being made here is for you to recommend approval. That's the recommended motion.

Thanks, Arlene. Yep. So I'm available for questions if you have any. And the applicant team or the Taylor Morrison team is here, if you have questions for the applicant as well.

Great. Thank you, Lindsey, and thank you for clarifying, Arlene. We'll go ahead and, open it up for public comment.

I do have a public comment from Helen Land.

The it it's a public hearing item. So if you can open the public hearing.

Apologies. Thank you, Palmer. We'll open the public hearing.

First speaker will be Ellen Land. Ellen, you will have up to three minutes to speak.

Good evening.

My name is Ellen Land. I live at Cavallo Ranch at the almost at the intersection of Kiefer And Rancho Cordova Parkway. So we're kinda ground zero for this project. And I think my concern is the EIR was done in 2013, and we're not opposed to the plan, to the project. I just wanna make sure all the environmental laws are being followed strictly. And it the, 2013 EIR seems sort of old to us. A lot of things may have changed. The plume may have changed. The water sourcing may have changed. The air quality may have changed.

And, we do we just wanna make sure the letter of the law is followed. And it's from your presentation, maybe it is, but we weren't so sure. So, that's what I wrote quite a lengthy letter about it. Also, from a point of view of ourselves and our neighborhood, there's going to be traffic, dust, noise, and I wanna make sure that our quality of life and our environment isn't harmed by this. It's gonna be a very long ongoing project.

I believe we're near phase one of the project. So it's going to impact everybody in my immediate neighborhood quite a bit. So, again, I just wanna give thought and consideration to how that our our rights are being protected with this. And what, you know, what I asked some questions in my letter. You know, how will noise be controlled?

What hours will construction be happening? How will dust and air quality be be monitored and told us? And, also, the we have a beautiful view of this green space. The the wetlands that are going to be preserved, which I applaud that that they're gonna be preserved, but they're also bisected by roads. So you are actually going to be harming the habitat for many of the creatures that we look at every day.

So my request was also that sort of ways could be put for this for the animals and birds and everything to kind of traffic that most of animals, I guess, to traffic these bisected greenways and and not be harmed any more than it has to be. And that's about all I have to say. We're just we're just worried that, that the environment is taken very, very seriously with this project for all all concerned. And I thank you all very much.

Anything else? That

was the only speaker card. I do wanna mention that, the planning commission did receive a public comment via email, and that was forwarded to the commissioners and also in a binder on the back of the room for

the public. Oh, and that

was from l, William and Ellen Land.

Thank you. Okay. The public hearing is now closed, and we'll move to planning commission comments and questions.

I don't have any.

I'm just curious. You're the expert on CEQUA. How much has it changed since 2013?

I guess for that, I would say so

As it pertains to this project.

Yeah. I think as it pertains to this project but any, too. Regulations are changing. The environment changes. So for CEQA, you have to establish a baseline, because at some point, you know, you kinda have to start and do the EIR, and, you know, we have to move on with with all the processes.

And so, under CEQA, typically, at the time, you release the notice of preparation to the public, that's the considered the environmental baseline. And so that's when they would look at conditions on the ground and assess impacts from that date. And then I guess in terms of air quality and things like that, I think conditions on the site on the ground are pretty similar. You know, air quality and things like that kind of fluctuate on a regional level. But in terms of looking at things further, I would say that so this is a a map amendment, but as future development does come in for entitlements, we look take another look then, you know, at the time of things are being built, and see if CEQUA needs to be addressed at those times, and then we bring those back for our, you know, for recommendation to you.

And I think also just to address our public comments a little bit, when these come back for grading plans and infrastructure plans, that's another time when we look at the mitigation requirements for these projects and make sure that they're implemented. So, even though the EIR was done in 2013 with the conditions at that time, you know, we still move you know, we still address things as they move forward and are being built. And similar with the habitat conservation plan permits, you know, new studies were done, last year. So, you know, we don't just look at what was happened in 2013, and that's it. Kind of is a ongoing process, if that answers your question.

If I if I if I hear you correctly, the the rules haven't really changed that much, but conditions on the ground may have changed slightly.

Yes. I would say that's possible, but, yeah, and then but to do a new EIR, that that would require substantial changes to the project or, you know, unusual or substantial change to the project site.

Understood. Thank you.

Very good presentation. I don't have any questions at this time, though. Thank you.

I don't have any questions. I just wanna thank Ellen. I I also live in Kavala, but I'm on the side closer to Sunrise. So when I first read the project that some of the things that you addressed were things that I thought about as well. But I was after reading through the staff recommendation, I was I felt satisfied with what I saw, and I I feel like our staff does a really good job in terms of research, so I feel confident. But I I just wanna say I really do appreciate the time you took to write us a very lengthy comment and just even to come up here. I know it's not easy to come up and speak, and so I just I just wanna show some appreciation. Thank you.

Alright. Well, I wanna echo, the comments to, Helen. We all appreciate getting the public comment. And I know especially for somebody, it's their first time. It can be a little unnerving. And, Lindsey, thank you for, an excellent report. I actually after I did read all the way through it, and I don't think I have any questions at this time.

Kind of echoing the same, but I did wanna say that as far as air quality goes, when they go to get a construction permit, they will have to get an air quality so you will see the dust, but the air quality is monitored. So just so you'll have some comfortability in that, that comes with the construction permit. So, and we all read it, and we all appreciated the time you took. And I appreciated the staff report. It was lengthy. So, thank you. Those were and no other questions.

Great. No questions or comments here. So I will go ahead and

Chair, could I just just a just a quick comment for the resident who sent in their, comment letter. City staff will review your letter, and I know that you request some responses, so we're going to try to work on that and get you some responses that we can provide to you. We didn't have a lot of time to have it prepared for you today, but you took the time to provide us with a very lengthy letter that was very thoughtful. So we'll we'll try and get you some responses in the next couple of weeks. So we'll add you to our our general plan list and also a list to alert you on any of the the future development. So thank you.

Thanks, Arlene. Okay. Well, I'll make a motion to adopt the resolution to recommend city council determine the project exempt from CEQA, waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance for specific plan amendment, and adopt the resolution to approving the Stillridge Large Lot And Small Lot tentative subdivision map.

Second.

Commissioner Deborah Polly?

Yes.

Commissioner Hoon?

Aye.

Commissioner Raymond? Aye. Commissioner Burchett? Aye. Commissioner Stoss? Aye. Vice chair Stevenson?

Aye.

And chair Malden? Yes.

You. And then before we move forward, I think we've got a change to the agenda.

Good evening, chair members of the commission. Darcy Gillart with Community Development. We do have a requested agenda change for this evening. The owner and the applicant have requested that the item not be heard tonight and be continued to a date certain of the next meeting of April 8, in order for them to address some technical issues. So we're requesting that if the commission so desires, if they could make a motion to continue the item to a date certain.

I'll make a motion to continue the item to a date certain.

I'll second. April 8.

Was that second from Hune? Stevenson?

Can you remake the motion to continue to April 8?

Yeah. I'll make a motion to continue the item to April 8.

Commissioner Deborah Polly?

Yes.

Commissioner Healan?

Aye.

Commissioner Raymond? Yeah. Aye. Commissioner Frischette? Aye. Commissioner Stoss? Yes. Vice chair Stevenson?

Aye.

And chair Malden? Yes.

Okay. That brings us to item seven, planning commission comments, ideas, questions. Start on that end. Me? Well, I didn't

go to the academy. I was waiting for all this great insight you guys all gained from the academy. So I don't have anything. I'm waiting to hear how it went.

Well, we had a it was a very interesting three days. Learned a lot for sure. Mhmm. It was great spending time with my fellow commissioners, getting to know each other a little bit better. It it was definitely interesting. There's a lot a lot to absorb there, and I'm still continuing to follow-up on all the new laws and rules and learn more about them. But it's it's good to be informed. It makes us better at what we do. And and thank you, Lee, for chaperoning us, giving us being a tour guide, all the other great things you do.

I'm up. Oh, shocks.

It

was we had a really good time. I felt that, you know, this has become kind of an annual retreat that we engage in every year. And while there's always good information, I felt that this year was particularly beneficial in terms of the information shared and the understanding gained, at least for me anyway. So I'm really happy that we were able to do that, and I'm sorry that you weren't able to join us. But

Still doing the people's work.

And, again, had some great time with the spend with fellow commissioners and kinda help, gel as a a team and everything. I tried to get on that earlier flight back home so that I could make it in time for the community awards. Missed it by a minute.

Oh.

Oh, well and, Rohanah, I did not ever go to the telescope store. I was a good boy, and I didn't buy any toys.

You bought it.

I I did too. I did too.

So and other than that, just I do wanna mention that we have the, annual community volunteer awards, last week and want to congratulate all the recipients there. And I would encourage people. I was working this week with staff on a a couple of the day of volunteering projects coming up, and I would encourage people. I know we're still looking for more volunteers to sign up for that. So I would encourage people if you're thinking thinking about that or looking for a way to get involved in your community, excellent way to engage in the community. Thank you.

I just also want to echo the same thing. The Academy was great as someone who this was my second time attending. I think within a year of being on the commission and then going the second time, I felt a lot a lot more comfortable with the language and the the information that was given. I felt, would say, probably not as much of a newbie as I did last year. And also, I thought that not only the presentations, but some of the topics like the AI session and the one on electric vehicles and Waymo was pretty interesting.

So it was kind of great to get different point of view this time around. And, yeah, I thought the other last piece, just being able to bond outside of just meeting here with meeting for meetings, being able to kind of hang out with other commissioners was great. So overall, yeah, 10 out of 10 experience and looking forward to next year. And, yeah, and I wanted to piggyback on what Lee just said, but I think there's so many coming up. I think in this next, you know, couple months, we have a lot of events happening with the city.

And so, for the people in the audience, you know, if you don't know, we have kids day. We have the iFest. We have quite a few events coming up. So, you know, if you haven't been to any of those, I would highly suggest that to get involved or just check it out.

Okay. My turn. So, yeah, I enjoyed the academy this year more than the previous conferences because now I am able to understand what they say, and also grasp the things a little bit comfortably. I mean, earlier, I used it's overwhelming to know all the things throwing at us in the initial conferences. I felt like, oh, what are they saying?

I shut it down and whatever they said, done. But this year, it's more comfortable. I mean, I'm able to grasp what they're they're trying to tell us and learn a lot of things. And, also, I spent time with you guys, and I know more ever done now than earlier last one year. So good to good to have time, with you guys. It's it's good.

Alright. Yeah. The academy, that was great. I had a great time. I told my kids I was going to Anaheim. They just automatically thought I was going to Disneyland, so I had to explain that to them. But, yeah, it was a good time. Special shout out to David Quang as well for the nice ambiance and dinners, and it was nice getting to know everybody just a little bit more. So I really appreciated that. Upcoming tomorrow, Mitchell Middle School, track meet at Cordova High School. So if anybody's free, would like to see some young track athletes. I think they started 04:45 04:15. So, that's all for me.

Well, Arlene, can I interrupt before you go? One last thing I just wanted to add. The one thing I realized coming out of the academy was I was not leveraging I was not leveraging staff the way I should have been. And Arlene always sends really great messages or reminders like, hey, if you have questions on the agenda or anything, you know, lean on me. And I will say, I have done it a couple times, but not enough.

And I just wanna show appreciation to the time that you guys spend to put not only put stuff together, but to help us really understand and get and grasp. You know, some of it's really technical and being able to understand it in layman terms even though I find my own ways to do that. It's it's really appreciated that you guys take the extra step to help guide us or just at least get a better understanding. So my appreciation to staff and to the whole planning department for all that you do.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Well, Lee, I was gonna bring up spring service day, so you beat me to it this time.

Yeah, and I'll see you at Mitchell's track meet tomorrow too. I echo all the same thing, so nothing to add. Onto you, Arlene.

Great. Only thing I wanna remind everyone, if you know folks who still need to provide some input on the general plan land use alternatives, there is an online survey till, I believe, April 1. It's the same kind of setup as the workshop. If the ones the commissioners who attended that workshop, it's similar to that, where they can provide input on future land use changes that they'd like to see in the city by themes that were presented at the workshop. So that's available till April 1 to anyone who'd like to provide input.

And just a quick update on that, you know, we're doing some targeted, outreach for the next few months, and we'll be coming to commission with recommended land use, alternative, preferred alternative that you'll be able to review and also provide comment on before it goes to city council. So that's kinda the sequence that's going on in the next few months for the general plan. So

Great. Thank you.

Well, with that, we'll adjourn tonight's meeting at 06:12.

Thank you all.

And then it works.
