Section 1. The City Council finds that the recitals contained in this Resolution and the information contained in the attached exhibits are true and correct, and are incorporated by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
Section 2. Prior to making a decision on this Project, the City Council reviewed and considered Resolution 2022-46, approving Environmental Assessment EA 21-01, finding that all potential environmental impacts of the Project have been fully analyzed in, and are covered by, the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Amendment No. 1 to the Oak Valley Specific Plan Area No. 1 (SCH#2004061035) (“Summerwind Ranch EIR”), and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which were certified and approved by the City Council on April 18, 2005 pursuant to Resolution No. 2005-14, and the second Addendum to the Summerwind Ranch EIR (“QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum”) including MMRP, which concludes based on substantial evidence in the record that the Project will not result in any new or increased significant impacts not already analyzed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR, and was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on August 8, 2022 pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-10.
Section 3. Based on substantial evidence contained in the application, the Staff Report and supporting documents, and the public comments submitted during the public hearing, the City Council hereby makes the following findings in support of approving Development Plan Review 21-03:
(a) The development plan application is consistent with the City's General Plan, applicable specific plans, zoning, and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is classified as SP-Area 1 (Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3). Within the applicable Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, the site is located within the TC-3 planning area, which is planned for Business Park use. TC-3 is subject to the development standards contained within the Office Professional (O-P) Zone in Chapter 18.25.030; Light Industrial (L-I) Zone in Chapter 18.30.030; and Business
Park (B-P) Zone of Chapter 18.30.030 of the City of Calimesa Municipal Code and Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Proposed development of the site is consistent with all applicable development standards such as required setbacks, floor area ratio, building heights, maximum warehouse square footage, and parking requirements. The TC-3 zoning designation is intended to accommodate industrial, business and service offices, light manufacturing, storage, and warehouse/distribution. As an industrial warehouse facility, the proposed development is most consistent with the BP zone, which conditionally allows a wide variety of warehouse uses including storage/wholesale, processing/fabrication, services, and manufacturing. The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified. However, pursuant to the specific plan, the uses anticipated include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs, and similar type uses. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. In addition, the proposal fulfills the following General Plan goals:
• POLICY LU-15: Commercial and industrial developments shall be designed to reflect the small-town atmosphere of Calimesa, using building materials such as exposed heavy timbers, weathered wood, and new and used bricks and stone, while maintaining good planning and design principles.
• POLICY LU-19: Locate commercial and industrial development in areas where street rights of-way and capacity are available, as well as sufficient infrastructure and public services.
• POLICY LU-23: Encourage the development of commercial and industrial centers to expand the employment and fiscal base of Calimesa.
• POLICY LU-24: Encourage existing and new employers in Calimesa to hire local residents when seeking to fill employment positions.
• POLICY LU-33: Provide development of uses west of Interstate 10 that will create job opportunities and compliment the Calimesa Downtown Business Corridor. • POLICY TM-4: Maintain and rehabilitate roadways to preserve and improve the quality of city streets and thoroughfares that promote access and mobility between residential neighborhoods, employment centers, shopping, and health services. • POLICY TM-11: Reduce vehicle trips through design and changes in operations. • POLICY IPS-1: The City will work with water providers and developers to ensure that water supply and delivery systems are capable of meeting normal and emergency needs.
• POLICY AQ-13: Reduce the effects of air pollution and the urban heat island effect with increased tree planting in public and private spaces.
Also, the proposed project implements a key business park planning area within the Town Center of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan. The land use, architecture, roadway improvements, landscaping, and wall plans were all designed in accordance with the specific plan. Therefore, the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan, the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, applicable zoning regulations, and other state and federal regulations. (b) The design of the site plan is safe, functional, and environmentally sensitive to the surrounding properties. Grading, where required, minimizes any potential environmental damage to the greatest extent possible. For purposes of making this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) Orientation and location of buildings and open space.
The orientation and location of the building has been designed to maximize buildable area site has while being sensitive to nearby residential and open space uses.
2) Vehicle access.
The Project site plan is laid out in such a way that there is convenient access provided to anticipated users, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street. There are three entrances to the Project, two along Singleton Road and a shared entrance along Roberts Road, through the Building B property. The easterly entrance on Singleton Road is also a shared entrance with Building B, while the westerly entrance along Singleton Road is a dedicated entrance. Therefore, the Project has and will maintain adequate vehicular access.
3) Circulation, parking, and loading.
The Project has been reviewed by the City Engineer to ensure that the proposed site circulation and parking areas are adequate for the proposed use. There is the ability to circulate completely around the building without needing to exit the property. Additionally, all entrances provide generous onsite queuing, with the ability to queue over 20 trucks in total onsite if ever necessary. Ample parking is laid out such that it is proximate to the main building entrances.
4) Building heights.
The maximum building height for Building A is 60’, which is compliant with the height restrictions of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3 and the City of Calimesa Development Code. 5) Design of walls and fences.
All screen walls surrounding the truck courts on both sides of the building are 12’ tall to property screen the trucks. The balance of the screen walls along the west and south side of the site are 8’ to 14’ tall and architecturally similar to the other screen walls. The screen wall heights were derived via a combination of the visual screening required for the truck courts and the updated Noise Analysis provided as part of the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center Addendum (EA 21-01), with the taller requirement from the two constraints dictating the wall height. The easterly truck yard will be secured by a combination of concrete screen walls and tube steel fences and gates. All screen walls for the Project will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the Specific Plan. 6) Preservation of natural landforms and vegetation.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01. The adopted mitigation measures reduce impacts to natural landforms and vegetation within the Specific Plan area.
7) Protection and enhancement of historic, archeological, and cultural resources.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The adopted mitigation measures reduce impacts to historic, archeological, or cultural resources within the Specific Plan area.
8) Minimization of environmental impacts.
The Project is subject to and incorporates the mitigation measures contained within the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The mitigation measures and project design features minimize the environmental impacts within the Specific Plan area.
9) Fiscal and economic impacts.
The addition of industrial businesses in the City will additional tax revenue for the City and provide ample job opportunities for the local community. 10) Pedestrian amenities.
The Project will be required to provide sidewalks and bike lanes along Roberts Road, sidewalks, bike lanes, and paseos along Singleton Road, and has designed appropriate pedestrian pathways within the project area. (c) The architecture proposed is compatible with community standards and protects the character of adjacent development. For purposes of this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) The scale, character, and quality of the design of the development.
The scale, character, and quality of the proposal is consistent with the industrial site planning architectural guidelines within the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Associated improvements include screen walls, fences, 2 employee parking stalls, 253 trailer parking spaces, vehicle circulation aisles, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting, and a guard house. All screen walls will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the specific plan.
2) The appropriate use of design elements, including line, mass, contour, texture, and colors.
The architectural character of the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan architectural guidelines. The architecture incorporates elements of the American farmhouse aesthetic to foster harmony with the development throughout Summerwind Ranch. To the extent possible, large wall planes are avoided by providing offsets, details, and the use of color and other ornamental architectural features. Specifically
the northwest elevation, prominent along Singleton Road, has both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners. Building entries and office areas create building focal points with the use of varied massing, wall plan offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features. Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation. The project is using appropriate design elements.
3) The appropriate use of design principles, including unity, diversity, repetition, emphasis, symmetry, or asymmetry to achieve a pleasing effect.
The proposed design of the warehouse facility project is aesthetically pleasing in that it includes aspects of unity, diversity, repetition, and symmetry, and therefore is appropriately using design principles. The site plan is laid out such that there is convenient access provided to anticipated uses, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street.
4) Harmony with surrounding structural elements.
The Project has been designed to complement existing and planned development to exhibit harmony with surrounding structural elements. 5) Screening of exterior structural elements.
The Project has been conditioned to screen all exterior mechanical equipment from public view. See finding b5 above for additional detail regarding site screening methods.
6) Lighting design.
The Project is required to comply with Calimesa Municipal Code Section
18.120 Outdoor Lighting in order to reduce and minimize light pollution produced by proposed projects.
7) Energy conservation.
The Project is required to comply with all applicable energy regulations, including Title 24 of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
Title 24 requires existing and new buildings to achieve energy efficiency and preserve outdoor and indoor environmental quality. Through the implementation of this Title, the Project will comply with state energy efficiency standards.
(d) The landscaping plan ensures visual relief and provides an attractive environment for the public's enjoyment and conforms to all landscape guidelines and water conservation requirements. For the purposes of this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) Location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of plant material. 2) Provision for irrigation, maintenance, and protection of existing and proposed landscaped areas.
3) Screening of buildings and structures so as to relate them more closely to the natural environment.
4) Minimization and concealment of utility and mechanical features. 5) Preservation of native vegetation, significant ecological areas, and environmental features.
6) Water conservation.
The conceptual landscaping plan has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the City Landscape Architect for compliance with the Calimesa Municipal Code Chapter 18.75 Water Conservation for Landscaping Requirements. Project approvals impose comprehensive conditions of approval which require compliance with the above referenced landscape requirements. In addition, the site is serviced by the Yucaipa Valley Water District and will utilize recycled water to achieve optimal water efficiency. Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from surrounding streets with walls and landscaping providing a significant buffer to residential housing further to the southwest.
Section 4. Based on substantial evidence contained in the application, the Staff Report and supporting documents, and the public comments submitted during the public hearing, the City Council hereby makes the following findings in support of approving Conditional Use Permit 21-01:
1. The proposed use is conditionally permitted within the subject land use district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of this zoning code.

The zoning designation is intended to accommodate industrial, business and service offices, light manufacturing, storage, and warehouse/distribution. As an industrial warehouse facility, the proposed development is consistent with the BP zone, which conditionally allows a wide variety of warehouse uses including storage/wholesale, processing/fabrication, services, and manufacturing. The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified. However, pursuant to the specific plan, the uses anticipated include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs, and similar type uses.
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the land use district in which it is to be located.
The site has been thoughtfully designed to complement the integrity and character of the business park zone as a cohesive logistics center, which is the envisioned land use of the area.
3. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of land use being proposed.
As demonstrated through compliance with all applicable development standards such as floor area ratio, setbacks, parking provided, and building height, the approximately
33.4 acre site accommodates the proposed type and intensity of the land use proposed,
4. The proposed use is compatible with the land uses presently on the subject property.
The subject site is currently undeveloped. However, the proposed use is compatible with the planned logistics center that Building A is a component of.
5. The proposed use would be compatible with existing and future land uses within the general area in which the proposed use is to be located.
The proposed warehouse use is compatible with the planned Business Park and Commercial centers that are anticipated within the immediate vicinity of the Project.
6. The proposed use is compatible in scale, mass, coverage, density, and intensity with all adjacent land uses.
As discussed in Section 3(c) above, the architectural character of the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan architectural guidelines. The architecture incorporates elements of the American farmhouse aesthetic to foster harmony with the development throughout Summerwind Ranch. To the extent possible, large wall planes are avoided by providing offsets, details, and the use of color and other ornamental architectural features. Specifically, the northwest elevation, prominent along Singleton Road, has both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners.
Building entries and office areas create building focal points with the use of varied massing, wall plan offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features. Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation. The project is using appropriate design elements.
7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health and safety.

Section 3. Based on substantial evidence contained in the application, the Staff Report and supporting documents, and the public comments submitted during the public hearing, the City Council hereby makes the following findings in support of approving Development Plan Review 21-04:
(a) The development plan application is consistent with the City's General Plan, applicable specific plans, zoning, and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is classified as SP-Area 1 (Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3). Within the applicable Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, the site is located within the TC-3 planning area, which is planned for Business Park use. TC-3 is subject to the development standards contained within the Office Professional (O-P) Zone in
Chapter 18.25.030; Light Industrial (L-I) Zone in Chapter 18.30.030; and Business Park (B-P) Zone of Chapter 18.30.030 of the City of Calimesa Municipal Code and Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Proposed development of the site is consistent with all applicable development standards such as required setbacks, floor area ratio, building heights, maximum warehouse square footage, and parking requirements. The TC-3 zoning designation is intended to accommodate industrial, business and service offices, light manufacturing, storage, and warehouse/distribution. As an industrial warehouse facility, the proposed development is most consistent with the BP zone, which conditionally allows a wide variety of warehouse uses including storage/wholesale, processing/fabrication, services, and manufacturing. The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified. However, pursuant to the specific plan, the uses anticipated include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs, and similar type uses. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. In addition, the proposal fulfills the following General Plan goals:
• POLICY LU-15: Commercial and industrial developments shall be designed to reflect the small-town atmosphere of Calimesa, using building materials such as exposed heavy timbers, weathered wood, and new and used bricks and stone, while maintaining good planning and design principles.
• POLICY LU-19: Locate commercial and industrial development in areas where street rights of-way and capacity are available, as well as sufficient infrastructure and public services.
• POLICY LU-23: Encourage the development of commercial and industrial centers to expand the employment and fiscal base of Calimesa.
• POLICY LU-24: Encourage existing and new employers in Calimesa to hire local residents when seeking to fill employment positions.
• POLICY LU-33: Provide development of uses west of Interstate 10 that will create job opportunities and compliment the Calimesa Downtown Business Corridor. • POLICY TM-4: Maintain and rehabilitate roadways to preserve and improve the quality of city streets and thoroughfares that promote access and mobility between residential neighborhoods, employment centers, shopping, and health services. • POLICY TM-11: Reduce vehicle trips through design and changes in operations. • POLICY IPS-1: The City will work with water providers and developers to ensure that water supply and delivery systems are capable of meeting normal and emergency needs.
• POLICY AQ-13: Reduce the effects of air pollution and the urban heat island effect with increased tree planting in public and private spaces.
Also, the proposed project implements a key business park planning area within the Town Center of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan. The land use, architecture, roadway improvements, landscaping, and wall plans were all designed in accordance with the specific plan. Therefore, the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan, the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, applicable zoning regulations, and other state and federal regulations. (b) The design of the site plan is safe, functional, and environmentally sensitive to the surrounding properties. Grading, where required, minimizes any potential environmental damage to the greatest extent possible. For purposes of making this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) Orientation and location of buildings and open space.
The orientation and location of the building has been designed to maximize buildable area site has while being sensitive to nearby residential, open space, and planned commercial uses.
2) Vehicle access.
The Project site plan is laid out in such a way that there is convenient access provided to anticipated users, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street. There are two entrances to the Project, one shared entrance with Building A along Singleton Road and a shared entrance along Roberts Road. Therefore, the Project has and will maintain adequate vehicular access.
3) Circulation, parking, and loading.
The Project has been reviewed by the City Engineer to ensure that the proposed site circulation and parking areas are adequate for the proposed use. There is the ability to circulate completely around the building without needing to exit the property. Additionally, all entrances provide generous onsite queuing, with the ability to queue over 10 trucks in total onsite if ever necessary. Ample parking is laid out such that it is proximate to the main building entrances.
4) Building heights.
The maximum building height for Building B is 60’, which is compliant with the height restrictions of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3 and the City of Calimesa Development Code. 5) Design of walls and fences.
To properly screen the trucks, 12’ tall screen walls are located at both truck court entrances on the north and south side of the building. All screen walls for the Project will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the Specific Plan. The truck yard will be fully secured by a combination of concrete screen walls, tube steel fences, and gates. 6) Preservation of natural landforms and vegetation.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01. The adopted mitigation measures reduce impacts to natural landforms and vegetation within the Specific Plan area.
7) Protection and enhancement of historic, archeological, and cultural resources.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The

The Project is subject to and incorporates the mitigation measures contained within the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The mitigation measures and project design features minimize the environmental impacts within the Specific Plan area.
9) Fiscal and economic impacts.
The addition of industrial businesses in the City will additional tax revenue for the City and provide ample job opportunities for the local community. 10) Pedestrian amenities.
The Project will be required to provide sidewalks and bike lanes along Roberts Road, sidewalks, bike lanes, and paseos along Singleton Road, and has designed appropriate pedestrian pathways within the project area. (c) The architecture proposed is compatible with community standards and protects the character of adjacent development. For purposes of this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) The scale, character, and quality of the design of the development.
The scale, character, and quality of the proposal is consistent with the industrial site planning architectural guidelines within the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Associated improvements include screen walls, fences, 356 employee parking stalls, 81 trailer parking spaces, vehicle circulation aisles, truck courts, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting, and signage. All screen walls will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the specific plan.
2) The appropriate use of design elements, including line, mass, contour, texture, and colors.
The architectural character of the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan architectural guidelines. The architecture incorporates elements of the American farmhouse aesthetic to foster harmony with the development throughout Summerwind Ranch. To the extent possible, large wall planes are avoided by providing offsets, details, and the use of color and other ornamental architectural features. Specifically the northwest elevation, prominent along Singleton Road, and the southeast elevation have both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners. The northeast elevation, prominent along Roberts Road, provides variation in color, clerestory glazing, reveals, parapet height variation, metal tube canopies, accent stone, and form liner to provide visual interest. Building entries and
office areas create building focal points with the use of varied massing, wall plan offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features. Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation. The project is using appropriate design elements.
3) The appropriate use of design principles, including unity, diversity, repetition, emphasis, symmetry, or asymmetry to achieve a pleasing effect.
The proposed design of the warehouse facility project is aesthetically pleasing in that it includes aspects of unity, diversity, repetition, and symmetry, and therefore is appropriately using design principles. The site plan is laid out such that there is convenient access provided to anticipated uses, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street.
4) Harmony with surrounding structural elements.
The Project has been designed to complement existing and planned development to exhibit harmony with surrounding structural elements. 5) Screening of exterior structural elements.
The Project has been conditioned to screen all exterior mechanical equipment from public view. See finding b5 above for additional detail regarding site screening methods.
6) Lighting design.
The Project is required to comply with Calimesa Municipal Code Section
18.120 Outdoor Lighting in order to reduce and minimize light pollution produced by proposed projects.
7) Energy conservation.
The Project is required to comply with all applicable energy regulations, including Title 24 of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
Title 24 requires existing and new buildings to achieve energy efficiency and preserve outdoor and indoor environmental quality. Through the implementation of this Title, the Project will comply with state energy efficiency standards.
(d) The landscaping plan ensures visual relief and provides an attractive environment for the public's enjoyment and conforms to all landscape guidelines and water conservation requirements. For the purposes of this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) Location, type, size, color, texture, and coverage of plant material. 2) Provision for irrigation, maintenance, and protection of existing and proposed landscaped areas.
3) Screening of buildings and structures so as to relate them more closely to the natural environment.
4) Minimization and concealment of utility and mechanical features. 5) Preservation of native vegetation, significant ecological areas, and environmental features.
6) Water conservation.
The conceptual landscaping plan has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the City Landscape Architect for compliance with the Calimesa Municipal Code Chapter 18.75 Water Conservation for Landscaping Requirements. Project approvals impose comprehensive conditions of approval which require compliance with the above referenced landscape requirements. In addition, the site is serviced by the Yucaipa Valley Water District and will utilize recycled water to achieve optimal water efficiency. Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from surrounding streets with walls and landscaping providing a significant buffer to residential housing further to the southwest.
Section 4. Based on substantial evidence contained in the application, the Staff Report and supporting documents, and the public comments submitted during the public hearing, the City Council hereby makes the following findings in support of approving Conditional Use Permit 21-02:

Section 3. Based on substantial evidence contained in the application, the Staff Report and supporting documents, and the public comments submitted during the public hearing, the City Council hereby makes the following findings in support of approving Development Plan Review 21-05:
(a) The development plan application is consistent with the City's General Plan, applicable specific plans, zoning, and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The General Plan land use designation for the site is classified as SP-Area 1 (Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3). Within the applicable Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, the site is located within the TC-3 planning area, which is planned for Business Park use. TC-3 is subject to the development standards contained within the Office Professional (O-P) Zone in
Chapter 18.25.030; Light Industrial (L-I) Zone in Chapter 18.30.030; and Business Park (B-P) Zone of Chapter 18.30.030 of the City of Calimesa Municipal Code and Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Proposed development of the site is consistent with all applicable development standards such as required setbacks, floor area ratio, building heights, maximum warehouse square footage, and parking requirements. The TC-3 zoning designation is intended to accommodate industrial, business and service offices, light manufacturing, storage, and warehouse/distribution. As an industrial warehouse facility, the proposed development is most consistent with the BP zone, which conditionally allows a wide variety of warehouse uses including storage/wholesale, processing/fabrication, services, and manufacturing. The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified. However, pursuant to the specific plan, the uses anticipated include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs, and similar type uses. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. In addition, the proposal fulfills the following General Plan goals:
• POLICY LU-15: Commercial and industrial developments shall be designed to reflect the small-town atmosphere of Calimesa, using building materials such as exposed heavy timbers, weathered wood, and new and used bricks and stone, while maintaining good planning and design principles.
• POLICY LU-19: Locate commercial and industrial development in areas where street rights of-way and capacity are available, as well as sufficient infrastructure and public services.
• POLICY LU-23: Encourage the development of commercial and industrial centers to expand the employment and fiscal base of Calimesa.
• POLICY LU-24: Encourage existing and new employers in Calimesa to hire local residents when seeking to fill employment positions.
• POLICY LU-33: Provide development of uses west of Interstate 10 that will create job opportunities and compliment the Calimesa Downtown Business Corridor. • POLICY TM-4: Maintain and rehabilitate roadways to preserve and improve the quality of city streets and thoroughfares that promote access and mobility between residential neighborhoods, employment centers, shopping, and health services. • POLICY TM-11: Reduce vehicle trips through design and changes in operations. • POLICY IPS-1: The City will work with water providers and developers to ensure that water supply and delivery systems are capable of meeting normal and emergency needs.
• POLICY AQ-13: Reduce the effects of air pollution and the urban heat island effect with increased tree planting in public and private spaces.
Also, the proposed project implements a key business park planning area within the Town Center of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan. The land use, architecture, roadway improvements, landscaping, and wall plans were all designed in accordance with the specific plan. Therefore, the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan, the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan, applicable zoning regulations, and other state and federal regulations. (b) The design of the site plan is safe, functional, and environmentally sensitive to the surrounding properties. Grading, where required, minimizes any potential environmental damage to the greatest extent possible. For purposes of making this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) Orientation and location of buildings and open space.
The orientation and location of the building has been designed to maximize buildable area site has while being sensitive to nearby residential, open space, and planned commercial uses.
2) Vehicle access.
The Project site plan is laid out in such a way that there is convenient access provided to anticipated users, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street. There are two entrances to the Project, one along Singleton Road and another entrance along Roberts Road. As such, the Project has and will maintain adequate vehicular access. 3) Circulation, parking, and loading.
The Project has been reviewed by the City Engineer to ensure that the proposed site circulation and parking areas are adequate for the proposed use. There is the ability to circulate completely around the building without needing to exit the property. Additionally, all entrances provide generous onsite queuing, with the ability to queue over 15 trucks in total onsite if ever necessary. Ample parking is laid out such that it is proximate to the main building entrances.
4) Building heights.
The maximum building height for Building B is 60’, which is compliant with the height restrictions of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3 and the City of Calimesa Development Code. 5) Design of walls and fences.
To properly screen the trucks, screen walls are located where the truck court would be visible from the public right-of-way or the adjacent residentially zoned property. The truck court screen wall is 12’ at all locations visible from the public right-of-way, including the southerly entrance to the western truck court, and the entire perimeter of the eastern truck court. All screen walls for the Project, will the exception of the sound wall adjacent to the residential property, will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the Specific Plan. At the north and western property line, a screen wall up to 9’ will be installed at the top of the slope which, in combination with the landscaping, provides a significant buffer to Summerwind Specific Plan planning areas B-2, B-3, and E-2, further to the north and west. 6) Preservation of natural landforms and vegetation.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01. The adopted mitigation measures reduce impacts to natural landforms and vegetation within the Specific Plan area.
7) Protection and enhancement of historic, archeological, and cultural resources.
The Project is subject to the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The adopted mitigation measures reduce impacts to historic, archeological, or cultural resources within the Specific Plan area.
8) Minimization of environmental impacts.
The Project is subject to and incorporates the mitigation measures contained within the certified Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and second EIR addendum (QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center) approved as a part of EA 21-01 thereof. The mitigation measures and project design features minimize the environmental impacts within the Specific Plan area. Further, tiered vegetive landscaping, including a combination of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be planted along the entire length of the norther Project boundary and the northernmost 1,000 linear feet of the western Project boundary. This vegetation would form a vegetative barrier at least 33 feet thick and at least 16 feet in height. At the north and western property line, a screen wall up to 9’ will be installed at the top of the slope which, in combination with the landscaping, provides a significant buffer to Summerwind Specific Plan planning areas B-2, B-3, and E-2, further to the north and west.
9) Fiscal and economic impacts.
The addition of industrial businesses in the City will additional tax revenue for the City and provide ample job opportunities for the local community. 10) Pedestrian amenities.
The Project will be required to provide sidewalks and bike lanes along Roberts Road and Singleton Road and has designed appropriate pedestrian pathways within the project area.
(c) The architecture proposed is compatible with community standards and protects the character of adjacent development. For purposes of this finding, consideration shall be given, but not limited, to the following:
1) The scale, character, and quality of the design of the development.
The scale, character, and quality of the proposal is consistent with the industrial site planning architectural guidelines within the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3. Associated improvements include screen walls, fences, 323 employee parking stalls, 83 trailer parking spaces, vehicle circulation aisles, truck courts, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting, and signage. All screen walls will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the specific plan. The automobile parking provided allows for up to 23,000 square feet of office space within the building.
2) The appropriate use of design elements, including line, mass, contour, texture, and colors.
The architectural character of the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan architectural guidelines. The architecture incorporates elements of the American farmhouse aesthetic to foster harmony with the development throughout Summerwind Ranch. To the extent possible, large wall planes are avoided by providing offsets, details, and the use of color and other ornamental architectural features.
Specifically, the northwest elevation, prominent along Singleton Road, and the southeast elevation have both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners. The northeast elevation, prominent along Roberts Road, provides variation in color, clerestory glazing, reveals, parapet height variation, metal tube canopies, accent stone, and form liner to provide visual interest. Building entries and office areas create building focal points with the use of varied massing, wall plan offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features.
Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation. The project is using appropriate design elements.
3) The appropriate use of design principles, including unity, diversity, repetition, emphasis, symmetry, or asymmetry to achieve a pleasing effect.
The proposed design of the warehouse facility project is aesthetically pleasing in that it includes aspects of unity, diversity, repetition, and symmetry, and therefore is appropriately using design principles. The site plan is laid out such that there is convenient access provided to anticipated uses, while avoiding an overbearing presence when the area is viewed from the street.
4) Harmony with surrounding structural elements.
The Project has been designed to complement existing and planned development to exhibit harmony with surrounding structural elements. 5) Screening of exterior structural elements.
The Project has been conditioned to screen all exterior mechanical equipment from public view. See finding b5 above for additional detail regarding site screening methods.
6) Lighting design.
The Project is required to comply with Calimesa Municipal Code Section
18.120 Outdoor Lighting in order to reduce and minimize light pollution produced by proposed projects.
7) Energy conservation.
The Project is required to comply with all applicable energy regulations, including Title 24 of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
Title 24 requires existing and new buildings to achieve energy efficiency and preserve outdoor and indoor environmental quality. Through the implementation of this Title, the Project will comply with state energy efficiency standards.
