(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. 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.
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 21-03:
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.
As discussed in Section 3(a) above, planning area TC-3 is subject to the allowable uses and 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 Section V Zoning Ordinance of the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan – Amendment 3. 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
28.70-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 C 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, 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.
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.
The Yucaipa Valley Water District issued an updated Preliminary Service Evaluation Letter to the Project on November 16, 2021 for potable/non-potable water and sewer service. Other public utilities such as power, internet, and phone services are available
to the site. The City will provide public safety services to the Project through the City Fire Department and contract services through the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subject proposal.
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.
9. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan.
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.
10. There will not be significant adverse effects upon environmental quality and natural resources.
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 reduce the adverse effects upon environmental quality and natural resources to the extent feasible.
Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from surrounding streets with walls and landscaping. 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.

Prior to making a decision on this Project, the City Council reviewed and considered 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 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 21-05:
(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 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 D 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. At this northern property line a screen wall of up to 8’ tall will be installed at the top of the slope which, in combination with the landscaping provides a significant buffer to Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan planning area E-1, further to the north. Reference the updated Noise Analysis provided as part of the EIR Addendum for specific analysis relative to this wall. Additionally, to properly screen the truck court on the north side of the building there is a 12’ tall screen wall running perpendicular to Roberts Rd. with an 8’ tall gate with 80% opacity at the entrance to the truck court visible from the public right-of-way. The southerly truck court has a similar 12’ screen wall and gate running perpendicular to Roberts Rd. up to Singleton. Singleton Rd. is elevated above the building and the southerly truck court by 5-35’; therefore, we have placed an 8’ screen wall along Singleton at this location. This wall adequately screens the truck court from the public right-of-way as indicated in the section indicated on the architectural plans. These walls along Singleton Rd. and Roberts Rd. are compatible with the design intent indicated in the Summerwind Specific Plan, including stone pilasters. At the easterly Project frontage, along the I10 freeway, the truck court will be secured via an 8’ tall tube steel fence. The truck yard will be fully secured by a combination of concrete screen walls, tube steel fences and gates. All screen walls for this Project, with the exception of the sound wall adjacent to the residential property, 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. Further, tiered vegetive landscaping, including a combination of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be planted along the entire length of the norther Project boundary. This vegetation would be planted as soon as possible following finish grading, with plant spacing such that the vegetation would form a vegetative barrier at least 33 feet thick and at least 16 feet in height. At the north property line, a screen wall up to 8’ will be installed at the top of the slope which, in combination with the landscaping, provides a significant buffer to Summerwind Specific Plan planning area E-1, further to the north.
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, 283 employee parking stalls, 176 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 10,000 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 west elevation, prominent along Roberts Road has both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners. The east elevation, which is prominent along the I10 freeway, provides variation in color, clerestory glazing, reveals, horizontal and vertical articulation, metal tube canopies, accent stone, protruding metal trellises, and form liner and entry canopy features. 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. Further, tiered vegetive landscaping, including a combination of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be planted along the entire length of the northern Project boundary. This vegetation would form a vegetative barrier at least 33 feet thick and at least 16 feet in height.
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 21-04:
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.
As discussed in Section 3(a) above, planning area TC-3 is subject to the allowable uses and 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 Section V Zoning Ordinance of the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan – Amendment 3. 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
32.84-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 D 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. pecifically the west elevation, prominent along Roberts Road has both horizontal and vertical articulation and enhanced glazing, cornices, and entry canopy features at the corners. The east elevation, which is prominent along the I-10 freeway, provides variation in color, clerestory glazing, reveals, horizontal and vertical articulation, metal tube canopies, accent stone, protruding metal trellises, and form liner and entry canopy features. The project is using appropriate design elements. The project is compatible in mass and scale with adjacent land uses.
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.
The Yucaipa Valley Water District issued an updated Preliminary Service Evaluation Letter to the Project on November 16, 2021 for potable/non-potable water and sewer service. Other public utilities such as power, internet, and phone services are available
to the site. The City will provide public safety services to the Project through the City Fire Department and contract services through the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve the subject proposal.
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.
9. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan.
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.
10. There will not be significant adverse effects upon environmental quality and natural resources.
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 reduce the adverse effects upon environmental quality and natural resources to the extent feasible.
Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from surrounding streets with walls and landscaping. Further, tiered vegetive landscaping, including a combination of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be planted along the entire length of the northern Project boundary. This vegetation would form a vegetative barrier at least 33 feet thick and at least 16 feet in height. At this northern property line a screen wall of up to 8’ tall will be installed at the top of the slope which, in combination with the landscaping provides a significant buffer to Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan planning area E-1 further to the north. Reference the updated Noise Analysis provided as part of the EIR Addendum for specific analysis relative to this wall.

FUNDING AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
CALIMESA AND BIRTCHER DEVELOPMENT
THIS FUNDING AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated this ____ day of _________________, 2022 by and between QR Birtcher Oak Valley Owner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”), and the City of Calimesa, a California municipal corporation (“City”). The Developer and the City are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as “party” and collectively as the “parties”.
RECITALS
Whereas, Developer is the owner of certain real property in the City of Calimesa (“City”), as more specifically described in Exhibit “A” (“Developer Property”);
Whereas, the Developer desires to construct approximately 2,250,000 square feet of industrial buildings (warehouses) on the Developer Property (the “Project”);
Whereas, in order to provide appropriate fire protection services for this type of development, the City must have specialized fire apparatus, specifically as described in more detail in Exhibit “B” (“Fire Apparatus”) prior to occupancy of buildings on the Developer Property;
Whereas, in addition to receipt of the Fire Apparatus, the parties acknowledge that a number of different factors, some of which are not within the City’s control, will influence the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project;
Whereas, although this is the first development of its kind in Calimesa, the City anticipates that the City will approve subsequent development projects which will likewise need the specialized Fire Apparatus (including future industrial projects, and other types of uses that require the Fire Apparatus for fire protection), and therefore be required to make “fair share” payments based on each project’s proportionate share of its impacts. In addition, the City anticipates that it will be annexing unincorporated property that have, or will have other developments in need of the Fire Apparatus, and intends to require “fair share” payments from such development in connection with the annexations. Hereinafter, projects needing the Fire Apparatus will be collectively referred to as (“Benefitting Developments”).
The City will require that each Benefitting Development will contribute its “fair share” of the cost of the Fire Apparatus in proportion to the benefit it receives.
Attachment 13R
Whereas, at the time of execution of this Agreement, the City anticipates that up to three additional developments may occur that would also be required to contribute their fair share of the cost of the Fire Apparatus. However, the timeline of those other projects is uncertain;
Whereas, the City and Developer agree that Developer will fund the purchase of required fire apparatus described in Exhibit B; Whereas, as described in more detail in Section 4.0 herein, the City intends to require “Fair Share” contributions from Benefitting Developments. Such fair share contribution towards the Fire Apparatus in compliance with applicable law, will reduce Developer’s contribution towards the Fire Apparatus, and the City will reimburse the Developer accordingly, pursuant to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for the purposes set forth herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
TERMS
1.0 Incorporation of Recitals. The parties hereby affirm the facts set forth in the Recitals above and agree to the incorporation of the Recitals as though fully set forth herein.
2.0 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall not have any force and effect unless and until Conditional Use Permit 21-01, General Plan Amendment 21-01, Specific Plan Amendment 21-01, Environmental Assessment 21-01, Development Plan Review (“DPR”) 21-02, 21-03, 21-04 and 21-05 have been approved by the City Council (collectively “Project”), and either (i) no challenge has been filed within all applicable statute of limitations periods, or (ii) any challenge to the City’s approval thereof has been finally resolved (the “Effective Date”). relate
3.0 Funding.
3.1 Timing of Funding and Purchase. The Developer shall pay the City 100% of the final purchase price, including any applicable taxes (collectively “Purchase Price”), for the Fire Apparatus as specified by Calimesa’s Fire Chief within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. The City anticipates the Purchase Price will not exceed $2.2 million for the Fire Apparatus described in Exhibit B. Accordingly, in no circumstances shall Developer’s maximum payment exceed $2.2 million. The Parties may extend the deadline for paying the Purchase Price by mutual written agreement, The maximum payment of $2.2 million does not include the offset described in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, meaning that the maximum amount Developer shall be obligated to pay under this agreement is $2.2 million less the offsets set forth in Section 3.2. Developer acknowledges that the City will not issue a Certificate of Occupancy for any portion of its proposed
development until such time as the City has received the Fire Apparatus. City and Developer will cooperate in expediting the timing of the purchase and delivery of the Fire Apparatus, including but not limited to taking actions prior to the Effective Date, such as City initiating the purchase steps required by law, Developer paying a portion of the Purchase Price as a deposit on the Fire Apparatus, and other available actions. In addition, the City will explore mutual aid agreements with other fire agencies. In no event shall the City enter into a purchase agreement for the Fire Apparatus more than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, provided the City has received the Purchase Price from the Developer pursuant to this Agreement. If the City has not taken delivery of the Fire Apparatus within one (1) year of the Effective Date, the parties agree to meet in good faith to determine if the Certificate of Occupancy can be issued prior to the delivery of the Fire Apparatus.
3.2 Offset of Purchase Price . The Purchase Price paid by the Developer shall be offset by the total sum of (i) the $450,000 payment being made under Section 5(C) of the February 16, 2021 Development Agreement (Ordinance No. 375) (“Development Agreement”) toward the funding of a fire apparatus (see also, Ordinance No. 37, Section 4(C)), and (ii) the total Fire Protection Facilities Fee ($0.038 per square foot) Developer is required to pay for the Project, which is approximately $85,500.
4.0 Reimbursement. Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that Developer will be reimbursed an amount equal to the “fair share” amounts the City receives from other Benefitting Developments, in the amount and manner set forth in detail in Section
5.0 of this Agreement. In no event, shall Developer’s fair share contribution be less than four hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) (“Minimum Contribution”).
5.0 Payment of Reimbursement. Any reimbursement of a portion of the Purchase Price paid by the Developer is governed by the provisions of this Section
5.0 as follows:
a. The City has no obligation to reimburse Developer unless and until (i) Developer has made the Purchase Price payment to the City; and (ii) the City has received “fair share” payment(s) from subsequent developers with Benefitting Developments approved or annexed into in the City. By way of example, based on the assumption that there are only two projects sharing the cost of the Fire Apparatus and a condition was imposed to require the second project to contribute its fair share of the Fire Apparatus as required by this Agreement, Developer would receive a reimbursement equal to the amount determined by the City to be the second project’s “fair share.” b. If additional Benefitting Developments are approved, both Developer and developer of the second project as illustrated in the example above,
shall be reimbursed accordingly. This same process will continue as new Benefitting Developments are approved in the City, subject to Developer’s Minimum Contribution. If reimbursements made to Developer result in Developer receiving the Purchase Price minus Developer’s Minimum Contribution, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
c. The City shall have no obligation to reimburse Developer nor shall City reimburse Developer from any source of funds, other than funds the City has received from other Benefitting Developers as their fair share payments for the Fire Apparatus.
d. If a reimbursement is warranted, the City shall reimburse Developer within 30 business days of receipt of payment by the subsequent developer(s).
e. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this Agreement shall be 20 years from the Effective Date (“Term”), at which time the Agreement shall expire and the City will no longer have any reimbursement obligations to the Developer. f. The Developer shall not be entitled to any interest or other cost adjustments for any delay between the times when payment of the Reimbursement is made to the Developer by the City.
6.0. Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated by either party for breach hereof, provided that the party electing to terminate this Agreement gives written notice of such breach and termination to the other party and a reasonable opportunity to cure such breach consistent with Section 12.0 below.
7.0 Indemnification. Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from and against any and all claims, actions and/or suits for injuries (including death) and/or damages of any kind arising or resulting from, or caused by, the Developer or its directors, officers, employees, agents, assignees, successors, consultants or contractors in connection with the approval of this Agreement, except arising from the City’s sole negligence.
8.0. Notices. All notices required for under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person and deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the recitals set forth above in this Resolution and the information contained in Exhibit A (Revised Conditions of Approval) and Exhibit B (Tentative Parcel Map 37862) are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination.
A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines, the City Council considered the scope of the Project, the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and the previously certified Summerwind Ranch EIR, including the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and statement of overriding considerations, prior to making its decision on the Project. In accordance with the Environmental Assessment EA 21- 01, which analyzed recent technical changes to the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan from General Plan Amendment (GPA) 21-01, Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan SP 1, Amendment #3 (SPA 21-01), Development Plan Reviews 21-02 through 21-06, Conditional Use Permits 21-01 through 21-04, and revisions to the previously adopted conditions of approval for Tentative Parcel Map 37862 for the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center, the City
Council, in its independent judgment, finds that pursuant to CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, all of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed modifications to Conditions of Approval 3.1 and 3.3 of TPM 37862 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 (“EIR Addendum”) including MMRP, which was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on August 8, 2022 pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-10 and approved by the City Council on September 6, 2022 by City Council Resolution 2022-46. The City Council further finds that the proposed modifications to Conditions of Approval 3.1 and 3.3 do not modify the land use plan, allowed uses, and development provisions, and have no effect on any environmental resources, including air quality, traffic generation, biology, cultural resources and noise or vibration, and therefore results in no additional environmental impacts for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan as amended by Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan SP 1, Amendment #3 (SPA 21-01), and are therefore within the scope of and consistent with the previously certified Summerwind Ranch Final EIR and first EIR Addendum, and previously adopted MMRPs. Accordingly, the City Council finds that no further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15162, 15163, 15164, and 15183 and Public Resources Code sections 21083.3 and 21166.
B. The City Council further finds that all actions taken by the City have been duly taken in accordance with all applicable legal requirements, including CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines, and all other requirements for notice, public hearings, findings, votes, and other procedural matters.
C. The custodian of records for the EIR Addendum including Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Certified EIR and all appendices, attached to the EIR Addendum and to the Certified EIR, and all other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s determination was based, is the City Clerk of the City of Calimesa.
