BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Parcel Map 37747 is the subdivision of 4.49 acres into four parcels for the development of a commercial center featuring restaurants and a car wash, approved by the City Council on August 5, 2020. The project is zoned Commercial Retail (CR) in the North Main Street Specific Plan (SP99-01) and is located west of Main Street, on the north side of Parkridge Avenue, as shown on Exhibit 1.
On December 16, 2020, the owner, CI Rancho II, LLC entered into Rough and Precise Grading Agreements and posted securities to commence construction of the commercial center. On January 20, 2021, CI Rancho II, LLC entered into Public Improvement and Survey Monumentation Agreements and posted securities to guarantee the construction of the improvements required to record the Parcel Map and complete the project.
ANALYSIS:
The improvements secured by these agreements have been completed and inspected to ensure conformity with City specifications.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Faithful Performance Security for the public improvements will be retained for a period of one year to guarantee repair or replacement of any improvements that fail prior to the end of the one-year period. Any written claims against the performance security must be made prior to the one-year guarantee period, which is set to expire on June 1, 2023. City Staff will release the Faithful Performance Security one year after acceptance of the improvements by the City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 66499.9 (c).
It is necessary to retain the Labor and Material Security for a period of six months, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
The site was rough and precise graded in accordance with all City Standards and the approved Grading Plans. Therefore, it is appropriate to release the Grading and Erosion Control Securities associated with these agreements at this time.
The survey monuments have been set in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and all City Standards, and the City has been provided with evidence that the surveyor has been paid. Therefore, it is appropriate to release the Survey Monumentation Security at this time.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer. It is the City’s responsibility to begin the maintenance of the public improvements one (1) year after the date of acceptance.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to release public improvement, survey monumentation, and grading securities posted for a previously approved project. There is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
