Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT FOR BANK OF AMERICA
MERCHANT PROCESSING SERVICE FEES
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022
PREPARED BY: Celeste Reid, Finance Director and Treasurer RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the modification of agreement for Bank of America Merchant Processing Service Fees, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement, and take all actions necessary to implement the agreement.
DISCUSSION: The City of Calimesa entered into an agreement for merchant processing service fees with Bank of America in June 2004. City staff and Bank of America representatives met for review of banking and processing fees which resulted in the proposed modification of agreement for merchant processing service fees. Bank of America has proposed to reduce the fee structure assessed to the City of Calimesa with an approximate annual savings to City of $3,700. With the existing agreement, merchant processing service fees for credit card transactions are approximately $17,500. A convenience fee of 2.5% is paid by the public for credit card transactions to offset merchant credit card processing service fees resulting in approximately $7,500 of annual revenue.
The modification of agreement will result in a reduction of the balance City of Calimesa pays for the processing of credit card transactions. The term of the agreement is for three years and will expire in September 2025.
City staff respectfully recommends that in lieu of issuing a request for proposal for services, the merchant processing fee agreement continue with Bank of America for efficiency of reporting and transactions given the City currently manages operational transactions with a Bank of America business checking account.
FISCAL IMPACT: Annual estimated merchant processing fees will be reduced by approximately $3,700. Annual bank fees, currently budgeted at $20,000, are expected to be reduced by the above amount. Budget adjustments are not recommended at this time as the savings are approximate.

GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A
GRANT NUMBER
EM23001
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Calimesa Fire Department (CFD) is in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains in the north-west region of Riverside County. The city of Calimesa serves a population of roughly 10,000 people across approximately 15 square miles. The Calimesa Fire Department is a newly formed combination fire department. In 2017, the City could no longer bear the increasing financial cost to contract fire protection services with CAL Fire and formed its own department. Calimesa is a small semi-rural community. In all, CFD protects 15 square miles of wildland urban interface (72% open space, 5% commercial, 23% residential). Within proximity to the San Bernardino National Forest, Calimesa is classified by the State as a High Wildfire Severity Zone. We have an established automatic and mutual-aid system and respond first alarm to the incorporated cities of Calimesa, Yucaipa, Beaumont, Banning and unincorporated communities of Riverside County, to include Cherry Valley, San Timoteo Canyon, and initial attack request within the operational area.
CFD is made up of 14 volunteers and 16 career firefighters that respond out of one staffed station with an average dialing staffing of four career and one volunteer. Our apparatus fleet includes: 2x type 1 engines, 2x brush trucks, 1x rescue and 4x misc. vehicles (24 seated position). CFD provides fire protection (structure and WL), EMS (BLS, soon to be ALS in 2023), hazmat operational, rescue services and year-around fire prevention. In 2020, CFD responded to 1,900 calls for service to include 206 motor vehicle accidents during the last 3 years.
Separating from its contract services with CAL Fire in 2017, the city and CFD are challenged with the upfront costs to obtain basic firefighter traffic equipment in addition to modern fire apparatus/tools. Our limited resources and our jurisdiction’s unique layout make it difficult for us to meet the “Golden Hour”. The golden hour is the term often used in trauma or emergency care to suggest that an injured or sick person must receive definitive treatment within the first 60 minutes from the time of injury or appearance of symptoms. It is believed that once this time has lapsed, the risk of death or long-term complications will significantly increase. During road traffic accidents, intervention done in the first few minutes might determine if the person will live or die. The main principle in managing the victim here is stabilizing their airway, breathing, and circulation and take them to the nearest hospital (ours is San Gorgonio Hospital, 15 minutes away). This means that wasting time during our extrication is crucial to the stabilization of our patients. For this reason, we are requesting assistance from the OTS Grant to replace our current AMKUS tools.
Interstate 10 provides access through the San Gorgonio Pass and stretches through the center of the city, serving as a key transportation corridor the desert communities and Arizona to the east and the Los Angeles Metropolitan area to the west. Holiday weekends, major events during the year at Glamis (Fourth of July, Christmas, President’s Day, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc.), and events at Empire Polo Club (Coachella and Stagecoach), are times where we have most of our extrications. We have many people using the 10 freeway and traffic gets chaotic. This is a major concern that we have due to our limited resources and our wildland urban interface. Sometimes during our traffic collisions, we have to hike down in order to get to our patient. Two issues are present during these calls; one being the time it takes us to get patient contact due to the hike and two being that we have to bring our extrication equipment down steep terrain. With us only having three personnel on our engine company, it’s very difficult to bring the cutters, spreader, ram, Honda engine, and hose lines in order for us to do our jobs. Battery operated extrication tools would help us get to our patient a lot quicker and would be more efficient during our hike.
In order for the Calimesa Fire Department to provide our citizens the best care, it is vital that we are equipped with the best extrication tools. Our limited resources and our jurisdiction’s unique layout gives us a challenge that we face in order for us to meet the “Golden Hour”. With assistance of funding from this grant our first out engine will be equipped with a full set of extrication equipment, ensuring that when firefighters arrive at the scene of an entrapped victim they will have the necessary tools to safely, effectively, and efficiently free the entrapped victim resulting increased survivability. Regardless of being limited on our resources from other agencies and regardless of our jurisdiction’s unique layout the tools from this grant will
help reduce extrication time and positively affect our efficiency when it comes to reaching our patients. Most importantly these tools guarantee a significant increase in our service level.

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year) Determine specific equipment requirements.
Request equipment vendor price quotation for the required equipment per host agency requirement.
Submit purchase orders to equipment vendors for purchase of the equipment. Prepare and execute Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with recipient agencies.
Media Requirements
Issue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year) Inventory the new equipment following delivery.
Disperse equipment to identified recipient agencies.
Plan a media event announcing the grant funded equipment. Recipient agencies will identify training needs and objectives and coordinate instructional staff to conduct a high quality training program for their respective agency. Recipient agencies will develop a preventive maintenance schedule for the new equipment following manufacturers’ recommendations.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts, storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your OTS coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with “INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email. Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics, format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. Email the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grantrelated event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs. Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the above requirements might be warranted.

Such activities include both direct and indirect (e.g., "grassroots") lobbying activities, with one exception. This does not preclude a State official whose salary is supported with NHTSA funds from engaging in direct communications with State or local legislative officials, in accordance with customary State practice, even if such communications urge legislative officials to favor or oppose the adoption of a specific pending legislative proposal.

Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal funds only steel, iron and manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation.
PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE (applies to all subrecipients as well as States)

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8
SUBJECT: APPROVE JOB DESCRIPTION AND SALARY RANGE FOR
PLANNING DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022
PRESENTED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-41, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California Amending the City’s Position Classification Plan for City Personnel for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to add the Classification of Planning Director.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Calimesa recognizes the value in recruiting and retaining a well-qualified workforce. In addition, the City of Calimesa understands the need for succession planning in key City positions. Both goals are essential to the long-term stability of the City. In order to facilitate meeting these goals, the City, from time to time, may deem it appropriate to amend jobs descriptions, reclassify certain position(s) and/or adjust related compensation ranges.
As you may recall in January 2022, the City Council approved an increase in salary for the position of Fire Chief, as well as the creation of both an Accounting Technician classification series and an Administrative Assistant classification series. In addition, recently the City Council approved a reorganization in the Fire Department necessary to add an Advanced Life Support response model and also allocate more resources toward fire prevention. All of the actions support the goals referred to earlier in this report.
With the same goals in mind, the City Manager is now recommending the approval of a job description and salary range for the position of Planning Director.
By way of background, since 2018, the City’s development related activity greatly increased and has remained constant since that time. As a result, the City, who had historically staffed the Planning Department through a contract, brought the duties in-house by hiring a Planning Manager and continuing to supplement the Department with contract staff. The following year, the City added the position of Associate Planner as well.
With the increase in development activity has come an increase in workload and responsibilities, and at the same time, a flurry of State laws that are impacting local government land use. It is crucial that the City recruit and retain staff with appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience to manage and oversee this activity in accordance with City Council vision and direction.
The City is fortunate to have a current Planning Manager that has been with the City in that capacity for the past 4 years, has completed her master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning during that period, has demonstrated the ability to effectively manage both subordinates and contracts, has been responsive to the development community, and has effectively overseen the City’s Planning Department. As such, if this action is approved, the City Manager intends to reclassify the Planning Manager to the Planning Director position.
In order to implement such a change, certain steps must be undertaken. The proposed Resolution 2022-41 would do the following:
• Set the salary for the classification of Planning Director at range 41 • Adopt a Job Description for the classification of Planning Director • Redirect funding from the classification of Planning Manager to the classification of Planning Director
FINANCIAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is being requested. The annual cost increase for this reclassification is estimated to be $12,480. The total cost for the balance of 2022-23 of $9,264 will be partially offset by charges to development projects with any balance being absorbed into the 2022-23 Planning Department budget.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10
SUBJECT: SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES BETWEEN
THE CITY OF CALIMESA AND ALBERT A WEBB
ASSOCIATES (“CONSULTANTS”)
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022
PREPARED BY: Kelly Lucia, Planning Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services between the City of Calimesa and Albert A Webb Associates (“Consultant”), authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement and approve Resolution 2022-45 amending the 2022-23 Fiscal Year Budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Effective March 1, 2021, the City entered into the Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services with Albert A Webb. The purpose of the contract is to produce the necessary planning and environmental documents required to establish a proposed Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone (“RIPAOZ”). If approved, this overlay zone would increase densities, relax development standards, and amend the allowable product type for various infill properties throughout the City. This project was grant funded by the State in order to facilitate and streamline housing construction in the City. The Planning Department held public workshops with the Planning Commission on May 10, 2021 and with the City Council on June 7, 2021 to discuss the project. Following the workshops and based on discussions with various property owners and stakeholders, the following changes necessitated revisions and updates to the Project Description which are the basis for the out-of-scope work identified below:
• July 6, 2021 – City added two additional properties to project (APN’s 411-150-027 and 409-100-011) and identified two subareas with defined densities resulting in a change of projected dwelling units.
• July 14, 2022 – City added an additional property to project (APN 409-100-009). • August 25, 2021 – City removed property (APN 411-150-027) from project. • October 25, 2021 – City removed (APN 413-290-04) from Project.
The consultant has submitted a request for Change Order 2 (Attachment A) to cover the costs of the additional out-of-scope work and finish the Project. Change Order 2 identifies an additional $44,200.00 in fees. However, due to available grant funds and other anticipated savings in the Planning Department budget, the impact to the General Fund associated with Change Order 2 is $11,895.23.
Should the City Council choose not to approve the $11,895.23 from the General Fund, thus not complete the Overlay Zone project process, the City would likely be required to repay the grant reimbursements received to date as well as forfeit reimbursements not yet received.
The two grants, SB 2 and LEAP, collectively total $225,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by the City Council, the total impact of the change order request of $44,200.00 will be funded partially through the State LEAP grant for $20,494.77.
The remaining cost and recommended FY2022-23 budget adjustment of $23,705.23 will be transferred from the General Fund to the Planning Fund. The General Fund anticipates a savings in the contract for the Housing Element update of $11,810.00 and $11,895.23 will be funded through fund balance reserves.

Re: Contract Amendment No. 2 - Planning Services and Environmental Services for the Rezoning Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone Project (RIPAOZ) in the City of Calimesa, California
Dear Kelly:
Pursuant to your request on June 2, 2022, Albert A. Webb Associates (WEBB) is providing you with this Contract Amendment No. 2 related to our Environmental Services for the Residential Infill Priority Area Zone Overlay project.
The Project has encountered of a number of changes that have necessitated updates to the Project Description which led to revisions in the following scoped items: Initial Study, Draft Programmatic EIR (PEIR), General Plan Amendment, General Plan Land Use/Zoning Map, In addition, WEBB furnished out of scope Project Management services; all of which are identified in detail below. These out of scope items have required WEBB to expend budgets for phases that have not yet commenced: 1) Screencheck 2 – Draft PEIR, 2) Public Review and Noticing of PEIR, and 3) Final EIR (FEIR)/Response to Comments (RTC).
On February 22, 2021, the City provided WEBB with a list of properties to be included in the RIPAOZ. In City email dated July 6, 2021, as a result of public housing workshops conducted with the Planning Commission on May 10, 2021 and City Council on June 7, 20201, the City added two properties to the Project (APN’s 411-150-027 and 409-100-011), prompting the need to update technical studies that had already been conducted and provide updates to both the Project Description and Initial Study that were already underway in order to cover these new properties. These changes were covered by approved Contract Amendment No. 1 dated August 25,2021.
The original scope identified the goal of the RIPAOZ to increase City’s residential density by 400 dwelling units. The email received by the City on July 6, 2021 also defined two subareas for the overlay zone with respective densities of 15 du/ac and 35 du/ac after having received feedback during the public workshops regarding densities and product types. These newly defined densities resulted
2 in a projected increase in residential dwelling units of 2,156; a total of 1,756 more units than originally scoped. The new projection was significantly larger than originally scoped which prompted the need for preparation and approval of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA). Preparation of WSA was covered by Contract dated January 19, 2022 approved and held with J.R. Watson & Associates Development Corp. The WSA was ultimately approved by South Mesa Water Company May 11, 2022.
The increase in projected dwelling units based on the July 6th City email, triggered additional updates to the Project Description, Initial Study, clarifications to Technical Studies already conducted, updates to sections of the Draft PEIR that were already prepared, all figures related to the proposed project, and updates to the calculations and language of the General Plan Amendment; all of which were not covered under the original proposal or subsequent change orders. Subsequently, on July 14, 2022, a third property was added (APN 409-100-009). Ultimately, on August 25, 2021 APN 411-150-027 was removed and during biweekly call on October 25, 2021, APN 413-290-041 was removed. All changes also induced revisions to items that had already been prepared, updated or underway.
Moreover, WEBB expended additional Project Management effort for biweekly meetings, effort to address additional Initial Study rounds of comments (including City attorney comments), and additional coordination effort related to the preparation of the General Plan Land Use/Zoning Map. WEBB has also provided other services not included, including services related to the Scoping Session and preparation of PEIR sections not included within the original scope of work.
To date, WEBB has not only expended the $220,800 but has incurred additional out of scope effort in the amount of $3,000 which exceeds the authorized budget and will require additional budget to complete the remaining project tasks.
If this Contract Amendment No. 2 is acceptable, please indicate such by signing and dating in the space provided below and return a copy to us. We continue to appreciate this opportunity to be of service to the City and look forward to bringing this project to completion.
Sincerely,
ALBERT A. WEBB ASSOCIATES Review and acceptance of CA #2 Stephanie Standerfer ___________________________
Vice President City of Calimesa
3 Out of Scope
As detailed above, the following changes necessitated revisions and updates to the Project Description which are the basis for the out of scope work identified below:
July 6, 2021 – City added two additional properties to project (APN’s 411-150-027 and 409-100-011) and identified two subareas with defined densities resulting in a change of projected dwelling units from 400 to 2,156.
July 14, 2022 – City added an additional property to project (APN 409-100-009). August 25, 2021 – City removed property APN 411-150-027 from project. October 25, 2021 – City removed APN 413-290-041 from Project.
General Plan Amendment Updates
Additional coordination with City’s request to update the General Plan Land Use/Zoning Map. Original scope assumed City would provide comprehensive electronic version of this file to provide to WEBB. City file was not all inclusive and additional effort was necessary to create a comprehensive base file for City in order to reflect the RIPAOZ properties.
Initial Study Updates
As detailed above, each update to the to the Project Description resulted in updates to the Initial Study. Additionally, the original scope allotted for one round of revisions for minor City comments. WEBB provided a total of three rounds of revisions, one of which included addressing comments from City attorney.
Draft PEIR
As detailed above, each update to the to the Project Description resulted in updates to sections of the Draft PEIR already underway. Original scope assumed the following topics would be analyzed out as part of the Initial Study process to limit the number of issue areas to discuss as part of the Draft EIR:
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources
Tribal Cultural Resources
Hydrology and Water Quality – This topic was included to address one threshold related to water supply and to provide the results of the Water Supply Assessment (WSA) that was prepared as part of Contract with J.R. Watson & Associates Development Corp dated January 19, 2022 and approved by South Mesa Water Company on May 11, 2022.
As a result of the density increase, lending to preparation of a WSA, one additional threshold was required to be addressed under the topic of Utilities and Service Systems. Additionally, original scope of work included analysis of only two Alternatives. After comments were received during scoping session on April 7, 2022, City determined the best course of action would be to include one additional Alternative discussion to address public concerns.
4 Project Management
Attendance and preparation of public hearings, workshops, and scoping were excluded from the original contract and also identified that WEBB would provide limited coordination with City in order to keep budget low. However, WEBB was requested to prepare a Scoping Session Presentation and attend/participate in Scoping Session held via Zoom on April 7, 2022. WEBB has participated in biweekly meetings with the City since July 22, 2021 in order to help move the project forward.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council open the public hearing and continue it to the City Council Meeting of September 19, 2022 to allow staff time to finalize the proposed ordinance.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Calimesa Planning Division is proposing an update to Title 18 (Zoning, Land Use and Development Regulations) (“Zoning Code”) of the Calimesa Municipal Code.

DPR 21-02 for the “Wedge” truck and trailer facility (Attachment H and Attachment I):
Design review for proposed industrial development consisting of approximately 9.2 acres to be developed as a truck and trailer storage lot with 253 trailer parking spaces and a guard house for one of the adjacent building occupants or as a stand-alone facility (APNS 413-290-082 and 413-290-083).
Associated improvements to the Project site would include, but not be limited to, 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 for this Project will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the Specific Plan.
The 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 directly from Roberts Road and another more westerly entrance via an internal circulation drive on Lot 3 that also connects to Roberts Rd. However, only the westerly entrance is intended as the primary entrance for day-to-day use. The other entrance directly from Roberts Rd. is for emergency
ingress and egress. Should this facility be leased by a tenant that also occupies either building A or B, the access via the internal circulation drive also provides for direct internal access from those facilities without the need to utilize public streets. Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from the surrounding streets. The primary entrance will have an approx. 8’ x 15’ guard house with a restroom and the two automobile parking stalls are immediately adjacent to it. This allows prospective tenants to have 1-2 employees at the facility if desired. This guard house will not have sleeping quarters. Alternatively, the tenant may elect to utilize an automated gate operation system without occupying the guard house.
It is not anticipated that the tenant will use a yard goat/ hostler at the facility.
Per the Specific Plan Amendment, the uses allowed for this type of facility include facilities for the storage of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time, including, but is not limited to, parking towaway, impound yards, fleet yards, and storage lots for automobiles (excluding recreational vehicles), trucks, vans, trailers, and buses. It does not include or allow for retail sales. These facilities shall not be dependent upon any of the other uses within the Specific Plan. No tenants are yet identified, however typical occupants are anticipated to use the facility to drop off loaded trailers being exchanged from one tractor to another. The drop lot can also be used to park empty trailers that are not currently in use and are either not currently needed for deliveries or waiting to be taken to other facilities. The tenant could be a user of one of the adjacent buildings A-D, using this facility as a support facility, or a stand-alone tenant, all of which are allowable within the Business Park specific plan land use zoning designation. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. Retail sales are not anticipated or requested as part of the project approvals. If the facility is used by a stand-along tenant, it is not subject to a conditional use permit (CUP).
To properly screen the facility there is a combination of 8’ and 12’ tall screen walls to fully secure the facility. Along the northern property boundary, adjacent to Roberts Rd., where the elevation of the facility and the street diverge, the screen wall is placed close to the right-of-way to maximize the screening utilizing the lowest possible wall. Here an 8’ wall is utilized along the westerly portion of the facility and a 12’ tall wall is utilized on the eastern portion, where the grade of the facility is comparable to the street and a taller wall is required. The gates at both entries are 8’ tall tube steel with 80% opacity. The southerly wall, adjacent to the open space is an 8’ wall. The walls around the entire perimeter are compatible with the design intent indicated in the Summerwind Specific Plan, including stone pilasters. The facility will also be properly lit via light poles. Landscaping is provided in conjunction with the screen walls including fast-growing, tightly spaced trees along the southern property line to enhance the screening.
FIGURE 4: THE “WEDGE” RENDERING
DPR 21-03 and CUP 21-01 for Building A (Attachment J and Attachment K):
Design review and conditional use permit for proposed industrial development consisting of an approximate 705,783 square foot warehouse building together with up to 118 dock doors, related site work, tenant improvements, and facility parking (APN 413-290-081).
Associated improvements to the Project site would include, but not be limited to, screen walls, fences, 322 employee parking stalls, 142 trailer parking spaces, vehicle circulation aisles, truck courts, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting and signage.
The automobile parking provided allows for the construction of approx. 15,000 SF of office space within the building. The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified, however typical occupants are anticipated to include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs and similar type uses, all of which are allowable within the Business Park specific plan land use zoning designation. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. Retail sales or outdoor fueling facilities are not anticipated or requested as part of the project approvals.
The 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 Rd. is also a shared entrance with Building B, while the westerly entrance along Singleton Rd. is a dedicated entrance. 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. Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from the surrounding streets with walls and landscaping providing a significant buffer to residential housing to further to the southwest. The screen walls are adjacent to the open space adjacent to the west and south property lines and at both truck court entrances on the east side of the building. All screen walls surrounding the truck courts on both sides of the building are 12’ tall, to properly 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 EIR Addendum, 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 this Project will include battered stone pilasters every 125’ in accordance with the Specific Plan.
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 the 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 plane offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features. Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation.
The project signage includes internally illuminated business entry monumentation and wayfinding signage at the entrances along Singleton Rd. This signage is compatible with the signage detailed in the Specific Plan Amendment, including the use of the same stone accents as on the screen walls.
Additionally, there is internally illuminated building tenant signage and branding locations at three of the four building corners, the exception being the southwest corner.

Associated improvements to the Project site would include, but not be limited to, screen walls, fences, 356 employee parking stalls, 81 trailer parking spaces, vehicle circulation aisles, truck courts, utility infrastructure, landscaping, exterior lighting and signage. The automobile parking provided allows for the construction of approx. 24,000 SF of office space within the building.
The Project is a speculative facility, meaning no tenants are yet identified, however typical occupants are anticipated to include high cube warehousing, general warehousing, industrial, manufacturing, minor assembly, e-commerce, parcel hubs and similar type uses, all of which are allowable within the Business Park specific plan land use zoning designation. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. Retail sales or outdoor fueling facilities are not anticipated or requested as part of the project approvals. The 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.
Additionally, both entrances provide generous onsite queuing, with the ability to queue over 10 trucks in totality onsite if ever necessary. Ample parking is laid out such that it is proximate to the main building entrances on the north and south side of the facility. Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from the surrounding streets with walls and landscaping providing a significant buffer to residential housing to further to the southwest. 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 this 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. 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 the 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 plane offsets, windows, colors, and other architectural features. Similar design features are included along the southeast elevation.
The project signage includes internally illuminated business entry monumentation and wayfinding signage at the entrance along Singleton Rd. and Roberts Rd. It also includes an Oak Valley Town Center monument sign at the intersection of Roberts Rd. and Singleton Rd. The monument sign is part of the master developer’s overall signage and parkway installation. All this signage is compatible with the signage detailed in the Specific Plan Amendment, including the use of the same stone accents as on the screen walls. Additionally, there is internally illuminated building tenant signage and branding locations at the four building corners, the exception being the southwest corner.

Additionally, both entrances provide generous onsite queuing, with the ability to queue over (15) trucks in totality onsite if ever necessary. Ample parking is laid out such that it is proximate to the main building entrances on the northwest and southeast side of the facility.
Landscaping is used to lessen the visual impacts from the surrounding streets. Further, tiered vegetative landscaping, including a combination of evergreen trees and shrubs shall be planted along the entire length of the northern Project boundary and the northernmost 1,000 linear feet of the western 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 least 16 feet in height. At the north and western property line, a screen wall of up to 9’ 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 areas B-2, B-3, and E-2, further to the north and west. Reference the updated Noise Analysis provided as part of the EIR Addendum for specific analysis relative to this wall.
Additionally, 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’ tall 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 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.

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-ofway. 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, they 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 I-10 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. The architectural character of the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan architectural guidelines.

Funding and Reimbursement Agreement (Attachment R):
The Funding and Reimbursement Agreement Between the City of Calimesa and Birtcher Development sets forth funding and fair share reimbursement terms related to procurement of fire apparatus to service the Project. Specifically, the Agreement would facilitate the procurement of a ladder truck to accommodate the commercial/industrial development which exceed a roof height of 32’ (ground ladder working height) or exceeds the required Needed Fire Flow (NFF) requirement of 3,500 Gallons Per minute (GPM) or present other life safety considerations, which, if proposed, would be considered for reimbursement to Birtcher Development.
Second Revision to adopted conditions of approval for TPM 37862 (Attachment S):
Tentative Parcel Map (“TPM 37862”) was previously approved by City Council Resolution No. 2020-44 to subdivide 219.2 acres into fifteen buildable lots; including 3 lettered lots for public streets, and 7 open space lots within the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan, and an additional 17.8-acres of off-site grading to transition to existing adjacent grades. The adopted conditions of approval 11.1 and 11.4 were previously modified by City Council Resolution No. 2021-01. The current request is to modify conditions of approval 3.1 and 3.3 to allow for the recordation of separate instruments and other approved method, such as private easements, for access and the perpetual maintenance of certain facilities, rather than the currently required establishment of Business Park Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”).
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (EA-21-01) (Attachment E):
GPA 21-01, SPA 21-01, DPRs 21-02 through 21-06, CUPs 21-01 through 21-04, the Funding and Reimbursement Agreement, and revisions to TPM 37862 conditions of approval are collectively considered a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (collectively “CEQA”) and shall be collectively referred to as the “Project.” On April 18, 2005, pursuant to Resolution 2005-14, the City Council of the City of Calimesa certified a program Environmental Impact Report for the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Amendment No. 1 to the Oak Valley Specific Plan Area No. 1 (SCH#2004061035) (herein referred to as the “Summerwind Ranch EIR”) and approved a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and statement of overriding considerations as part thereof, for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan, in accordance with CEQA. The Summerwind Ranch EIR evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments and zoning code amendments and determined that the Summerwind Ranch project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts in the category of air quality (mobile source, vehicle emissions during the operation of the project, and construction emissions.
As the lead agency for the Project under CEQA, and prior to taking action on the Project, the City is required to determine whether the environmental effects of the Project are within the scope of the prior environmental analysis or whether additional environmental analysis is required. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, when an environmental impact report has been prepared for a project, no subsequent environmental impact report shall be required by the lead agency or by any responsible agency, unless one or more of the following events occurs: (1) substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the environmental impact report due to a new or increased significant impact on the environment; (2) substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in the environmental impact report due to a new or increased significant impact on the environment; and/or (3) new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the environmental impact report was certified as complete, becomes available. Following the applicant’s submittal of the Project applications, the City’s CEQA consultants prepared a second Addendum to the previously certified Summerwind Ranch EIR (EA 21-01), herein referred to as the “QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum” (Exhibit A hereto). The QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum evaluated proposed GPA 21-01, SPA 21- 01, DPRs 21-02 through 21-06, and CUPs 21-01 through 21-04, under the Summerwind Ranch EIR including the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program incorporated therein (Exhibit B to this Resolution). The purpose of the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum was to determine whether the Project would present any substantial changes or new information of substantial importance, result in any potential new significant impacts or increase the severity of any significant impacts previously identified in the Summerwind Ranch EIR; whether the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch EIR; and whether any further environmental review is required. The Planning Commission recommended approval of EA 21-01 by Planning Commission Resolution 2022-10.

The adopted conditions of approval 11.1 and 11.4 were previously modified by City Council Resolution No. 2021-01. The current request is to modify conditions of approval 3.1 and 3.3; and WHEREAS, GPA 21-01, SPA 21-01, DPRs 21-02 through 21-06, CUPs 21-01 through 21-04, the Funding and Reimbursement Agreement, and revisions to TPM 37862 conditions of approval are collectively considered a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (collectively “CEQA”), and shall be collectively referred to as the “Project”; and, WHEREAS, on April 18, 2005, pursuant to Resolution 2005-14, the City Council of the City of Calimesa certified a program Environmental Impact Report for the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Amendment No. 1 to the Oak Valley Specific Plan Area No. 1 (SCH#2004061035) (herein referred to as the “Summerwind Ranch EIR”), and approved a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and statement of overriding considerations as part thereof, for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan, in accordance with CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Summerwind Ranch EIR evaluated the environmental impacts associated with the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments and zoning code amendments, and determined that the Summerwind Ranch project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts in the category of air quality (mobile source, vehicle emissions during the operation of the project, and construction emissions); and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency for the Project under CEQA, and prior to taking action on the Project, the City is required to determine whether the environmental effects of the Project are within the scope of the prior environmental analysis or whether additional environmental analysis is required; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, when an environmental impact report has been prepared for a project, no subsequent environmental impact report shall be required by the lead agency or by any responsible agency, unless one or more of the following events occurs: (1) substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the environmental impact report due to a new or increased significant impact on the environment; (2) substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in the environmental impact report due to a new or increased significant impact on the environment; and/or (3) new information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the environmental impact report was certified as complete, becomes available; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15163, the lead agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if (1) any of the conditions described in Guidelines Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and (2) only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred; and
WHEREAS, an addendum to an EIR need not be circulated for public review but is attached to a final EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164; and WHEREAS, following the applicant’s submittal of the Project applications, the City’s CEQA consultants prepared a second Addendum to the previously certified Summerwind Ranch EIR (EA 21- 01), herein referred to as the “QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum” (Exhibit A hereto). The QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum evaluated proposed GPA 21-01, SPA 21-01, DPRs 21-02 through 21-06, and CUPs 21-01 through 21- 04, under the Summerwind Ranch EIR including the approved Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program incorporated therein (Exhibit B to this Resolution). The purpose of the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum was to determine whether the Project would present any substantial changes or new information of substantial importance, result in any potential new significant impacts or increase the severity of any significant impacts previously identified in the Summerwind Ranch EIR; whether the Project is consistent with the Summerwind Ranch EIR; and whether any further environmental review is required; and WHEREAS, based on staff’s review and analysis of the Project, the Summerwind Ranch EIR and the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum incorporated below, staff determined pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, 15163 and 15164 that the Summerwind Ranch EIR was certified as a program EIR for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and that the Project is consistent with the impacts analyzed for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and Summerwind Ranch EIR; and
WHEREAS, based on staff’s review and analysis of the Project, and pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, staff determined that the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum was appropriate for the Project under CEQA because the proposed Project changes associated with the Summerwind Ranch EIR analysis involve minor technical changes, and none of the events identified within Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 were triggered by the Project, and therefore no special circumstances exist that would create a reasonable possibility that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment beyond what was previously analyzed as part of the Summerwind Ranch EIR because the Project would not result in any significant impacts that (1) are peculiar to the Project or Project site on which the Project would be located; (2) were
not previously analyzed as significant effects in the Summerwind Ranch EIR for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments and other zoning actions concurrently approved with the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan; (3) are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the program EIR certified for the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments and other zoning actions concurrently approved with the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan; or (4) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the Summerwind Ranch EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, if an agency finds that pursuant to Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity through the adoption of an addendum to the certified EIR, and the agency’s determination may be based on factors that include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the program EIR; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on August 8, 2022, on the proposed second Addendum to the EIR and the Project, at which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and to present evidence, and after closing the public hearing the Planning Commission approved PC Resolution 2022-10, recommending that the City Council approve EA 21-01; and
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa Planning Department on August 26, 2022 caused to be published a legal notice in the Yucaipa News Mirror, a local paper of general circulation, indicating the date, time and location of the City Council public hearing on proposed Environmental Assessment (EA 21-01), for the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum, and the Project entitlements in compliance with state law, and
WHEREAS, not less than ten days prior to the public hearing, the City also distributed copies of the Public Hearing Notice to servicing utilities, adjacent public agencies, Native American Tribes; and in addition, copies of the Notice were distributed via United States Postal Service (USPS) to local agencies, property owners within a 300-foot radius of the Project site in accordance with state law, and other interested parties; and the Public Hearing Notice was also posted on the City’s website, at City Hall, and at the Calimesa library; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Calimesa does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct, and incorporated by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
Section 2. In accordance with CEQA, the City Council of the City of Calimesa has reviewed and considered the oral and written record before the City Council, including the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (EA 21-01) (Exhibit A), the Summerwind Ranch EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted as part thereof (Exhibit B), City Council Resolution 2005-14 including the statement of overriding considerations (Exhibit C), together with the Staff Report and all oral and written testimony submitted by City staff and other interested parties during the public hearing on the Addendum, General Plan Amendment GPA 21-01, Specific Plan Amendment SPA 21-01, DPRs 21-02 through 21-06, Conditional Use Permits 21-01 through 21-04, the Funding and Reimbursement Agreement, and second revision to Tentative Parcel Map 37862 conditions of approval, and Planning Commission recommendations.
Section 3. Based on the City Council’s independent judgment and substantial evidence in the whole of the record, as described in Section 2, above, the City Council finds that the Project complies with CEQA based on each of the provisions set forth in Sections 4 and 5, below, each of which, separately and independently, provides a basis for CEQA compliance.
Section 4. Based on the City Council’s independent judgment and substantial evidence in the whole of the record, as described in Section 2, above, the City Council finds that pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 (Lead agency prohibition to require subsequent reports for a certified project unless specific events) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration), preparation of an Addendum to the certified EIR is appropriate as only minor technical changes would result from development of the QR Birtcher Logistics Center Oak Valley Town Center Project, and none of the following conditions described in Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred:
A. Substantial changes are not proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effect or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; B. Substantial changes will not occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effect or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
C. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete does not show any of the following:
(1) The project will have one or more significant effects not disclosed in the previous EIR;
(2) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(3) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (4) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the precious EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Section 5. Alternatively, based on the City Council’s independent judgment and substantial evidence in the whole of the record, as described in Section 2, above, the City Council finds that the Project does not require the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report, and that an addendum to the certified EIR is appropriate, consistent with Section 15164 (Addendum to EIRs or Negative Declarations) of the CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds as follows:
A. Major EIR revisions are not required: There is no evidence in the record that major changes to the certified Summerwind Ranch EIR are required. No information has been presented to the City to demonstrate that any substantial changes have occurred with respect to the Project involving new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects discussed in the EIR. Minor changes to the land use designations of three noncontiguous portions of the site to business park as follows: 1) modify the land use designation of 2.0 acre planning area TC-1A from Commercial to 1.9 acres of Business Park and 0.2 acres of right-of way, 2)
modify the land use designation for 3.1 acre planning area TC-5 from Commercial to Business Park, 3) modify the land use designation of a 0.6 acre area within planning area TC-10 from open space to business park. The GPA would also modify General Plan Figure OSPR-2: Trails Master Plan to 1) realign the residential phase 1 paseo from meandering into RLC-1 to remaining within planning area A-9 and 2) modify the asphalt paseo located within planning areas TC-10 and A-9 to a compacted soil or decomposed granite hiking trail. The allowed building size for warehouse related uses are consistent with building sizes allowed at the time of EIR certification. The supporting technical analyses conclude that the impacts are the same as or reduced from the buildout of the same area of the Specific Plan analyzed under the Summerwind Ranch EIR. The facts demonstrate that there are no new significant or more severe environmental impacts that would result from the Project, and that the approval of the Project would have the same or reduced impacts as those described in and already addressed in the previously certified Summerwind Ranch EIR.
B. No substantial change in circumstances requiring major EIR revisions: There is no information in the record, or otherwise available, that indicates that there are substantial changes in circumstances that would require major changes to certified Summerwind Ranch EIR. The Project remains consistent with the project objectives in the EIR and serves to implement the vision for the area described in the General Plan and Specific Plan. Other development in the nearby area has occurred consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan, there have been no significant changes in the scope of the proposed development that would alter the ability of the Project to remain consistent with the environmental impacts analyzed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR.
C. No new information showing greater significant effects than identified in the EIR:
There is no substantial new information, that was not available at the time the Summerwind Ranch EIR was certified, indicating there will be a new or increased significant impact requiring major revisions of the EIR. The air quality and traffic technical reports indicate the impacts are similar to and less than impacts analyzed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR, and the City Council finds that the Project would not cause an increase in the severity of any environmental impact, and that the impacts of the Project are either similar or reduced than the original Specific Plan project analyzed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR.
D. No new information showing ability to reduce significant effects identified in the EIR: There are no significant impacts requiring identification of new or additional alternatives to the Project, or consideration of new or additional, more significant effects identified in the Summerwind Ranch EIR. The EIR included mitigation measures for development of the Specific Plan site to reduce impacts to a level of less than significant, and the same mitigation measures apply to the Project. No information, let alone substantial evidence, has been presented to suggest that the current Project has environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated to the extent feasible as set forth in the Summerwind Ranch EIR. No information regarding any purported greater environmental impacts, or the need for additional mitigation or alternatives, has been presented.
E. The City Council finds that the Project does not involve significant new effects on the environment, does not change the baseline environmental conditions, and does not represent new information of substantial importance which shows that the Project will have one or more significant effects not previously discussed in the Summerwind Ranch EIR. The EIR Addendum adequately addresses all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project, and the mitigation measures contained in the certified EIR and the approved Mitigation and Monitoring Program will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant, or otherwise mitigated to at least the same level of severity as the development permitted by the originally approved Specific Plan analyzed in the certified Summerwind Ranch EIR. Therefore, the City Council finds that the EIR Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21166 and 21062, and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163, 15164 and 15168.
Section 6. For the foregoing reasons, the City Council approves EA 21-01, the QR Birtcher Logistics Center at Oak Valley Town Center EIR Addendum (Exhibit A hereto) and re-adopt the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program previously included in and approved as part of the certified Summerwind Ranch EIR, as modified to include the mitigation measures applicable to the Project.
Section 7. The documents, staff report, technical studies, appendices, plans, specifications, and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which this resolution is based are on file for public examination during normal business hours at the City of Calimesa City Hall, Community Development Department, 908 Park Avenue, Calimesa, California, 92320.

Attachment 13I
WHEREAS, the Project complies with the requirements of the Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan, the Calimesa Municipal Code, the Summerwind Ranch EIR and EIR Addendum, and the Project is allowed with the issuance of a Development Plan Review in the TC-3 and TC-5 planning areas; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on August 8, 2022, on the proposed second Addendum to the EIR and the Project, at which time all interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and to present evidence, and after closing the public hearing the Planning Commission approved PC Resolution 2022-13, recommending that the City Council approve DPR 21-02; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Calimesa Planning Department on August 26, 2022, caused to be published a legal notice in the Yucaipa News Mirror, a local paper of general circulation, indicating the date and time of the public hearing in compliance with state law concerning the Project, including Development Plan Review DPR 21-02, and mailed said public hearing notice to each property owner within a 300-foot radius of the project site in accordance with state law; and, WHEREAS, on September 6, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the application for the Project and following the receipt of all testimony, closed the public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Calimesa does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows:
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 21-02:
(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 portions of TC-3 and TC-5, which, concurrent with approval of GPA 21-01 and SPA 21-01, are planned for industrial use. In addition, TC-3 and TC-5 are 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. The proposed development of the site is consistent with the zoning designations which are intended to accommodate industrial, business and service offices, light manufacturing, storage, and warehouse/distribution. As an industrial truck/trailer storage facility, the proposed development is most consistent with the BP zone, which explicitly identifies storage as an intended use. Pursuant to the specific plan, the uses allowed for this type of facility include the storage of operative and inoperative vehicles for periods of time including parking tow-away, impound yards, fleet yards, and storage lots for automobiles (excluding recreational vehicles), trucks, vans, trailers, and buses. It does not include or allow for retail sales. No tenants are yet identified; however, typical occupants are anticipated to use the facility to drop off loaded trailers being exchanged from one tractor to another. The drop lot can also be used to park empty trailers that are not currently in use. The tenant could be a use of one of the adjacent buildings A-D, using this site as a support facility, or a stand-alone tenant, all of which are allowable within the Business Park specific plan land use designation. The tenants may operate 24/7/365. If the facility is used by a stand-alone tenant, it is not subject to a conditional use permit. The approximately 9.2-acre site is located along the major arterial of Roberts Road. 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.
Given the irregular size and shape of the subject property and proposed use of the minor guard structure, site has been designed as safe, functional, and environmentally sensitive as possible.
2) Vehicle access.
The Project site plan is laid out in such a way that there is convenient access provided by two entrances. One is directly from Roberts Road and another more westerly entrance via an internal circulation drive on Lot 3 that also connects to Roberts Road. However, only the more westerly entrance is intended as the primary entrance for day-to-day use. The eastern driveway is for emergency ingress and egress. 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. Should the facility be leased by a tenant that also occupies either Building A or B, the access via the internal circulation drive also provides for direct access from those facilities without the need to utilize public streets.
4) Building heights.
The primary land use for the site is as truck and trailer storage/parking. As such, the site contains only a single story, approximately 8’x15’ guard house with a restroom. This building height of this small structure will be within the height restrictions of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan and the City of Calimesa Development Code.
5) Design of walls and fences.
To properly screen and secure the facility, there is a combination of 8’ and 12’ screen walls. Along the northern property boundary, adjacent to Roberts Road, where the elevation of the facility and the street diverge, the screen wall is placed close to the right-of-way to maximize the screening utilizing the lowest possible wall. Here an 8’ wall is utilized along the westerly portion of the facility and a 12’ tall wall is utilized on the eastern portion, where the grade of the facility is comparable to the street. The gates at both entries are 8’ tall tube steel with 80% opacity. The southerly wall, adjacent to the TC-10 open space planning area, is an 8’ wall. The walls around the entire perimeter are compatible with the design intent of the specific plan, including stone pilasters.
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 generate property tax and provide additional access to parking/trailer storage within the community, therefore reducing the amount of unpermitted truck/trailer parking to occur on public streets.
10) Pedestrian amenities.
The Project will be required to provide sidewalks along Roberts 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 style within the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan – Amendment 3 reflets a variety of themes and styles, each of which is somewhat rustic and rural in nature. While this site does not include a substantial building structure, the architecture of the guard shack and decorative walls reflect rustic and rural themes, and therefore 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 truck and trailer parking 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 match the adjacent major entryway monumentation materials 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.
Section 4. Based on the findings contained in Sections 1 through 3 of this Resolution, the City Council hereby approves Development Plan Review 21-02, for the site layout, architectural design, landscaping, wall plan, and master signage program for an approximately 9.2-acre industrial site to be developed as a truck and trailer storage lot with 253 trailer parking spaces and a guard house for one of the adjacent building occupants or as a standalone facility, to be located within portions of the TC-3 and TC-5 planning areas of the Summerwind Ranch at Oak Valley Specific Plan (SP Area 1 – Amendment 3) subject to the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit A to this resolution.
