File #: 24-0198
located on the west side of Interstate 15 and Eagle Glen Parkway. The community is being completed in phases per the zoning and development standards established by the Arantine Hills Specific Plan. The phasing of the community, to date, has included the approval of 951 residential units, two on-site multi-purpose recreational centers, a bridge over the Bedford Channel near Interstate 15 that provides vehicular and pedestrian access from Bedford Canyon Road to a portion of the community on the south side of the channel, and a 21.7-acre commercial retail center.
The applicant, Arantine Hills Holdings, is the “master” developer of the community and is responsible for constructing the backbone infrastructure within the community, as well as obtaining the land use entitlements for each phase of residential development. The homes within the community are being constructed by guest builders.
The applicant is now seeking to develop the final two phases of Arantine Hills which are Phases 3 and 4. These two phases consist of a total 546 residential units on 85.51 acres located within the southwestern portion of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan area, west of Clementine Way. The project site borders the Eagle Glen Golf Course to the west and the Bedford Channel to the south. Bordering to the north is a large 2:1 slope with existing residential properties located on the other side of the slope. The project site (Phases 3 and 4) is situated lower than the existing homes by approximately 90 feet or more in elevation.
The applications associated with the proposal are Tentative Tract Map 38572 (TTM 38572) and Precise Plan 2023-0004 (PP2023-0004). This report is for PP2023-0004, which focuses on the site plan, architecture, landscaping and perimeter fencing for the project. TTM 38572 focuses on the creation of the lots associated with the project, which are provided in detail in a separate staff report for consideration.
The project was initially reviewed by the Development Plan Review Committee on March 9, 2023.
The applicant formally submitted the tentative tract map and precise plan applications to the city on May 22, 2023, which were reviewed by the Project and Environmental Review Committee on June 15, 2023. At the meeting, the Committee requested additional information from the applicant. The applicant submitted the missing and revised items and the applications were deemed complete, and subsequently scheduled for the Planning and Housing Commission meeting of March 25, 2024.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PP2023-0004 is for the development of Phases 3 and 4 of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan. The precise plan accompanies TTM 38572 which will create residential lots for condominium purposes for these two phases. The project features a mix of dwelling unit types very similar to the residential units that were constructed in Phase 1 and currently under construction in Phases 2 and 2B (south side of the channel). The project will accommodate 546 units, two neighborhood private parks, private streets, open space, trails, and the extension of the Bedford Channel on a total of 85.51 acres. The phasing, planning areas, zoning, acreage, land use and density of the project are summarized in the table below.

Table 1: Project Summary
All of the residential units are proposed as either detached or attached condominium homes. There are six different product types which are permitted in their respective zoning. As shown in Table 1, the density proposed for each residential planning area falls within their respective allowable density range that has been established by the specific plan. The project has been evaluated for compliance with the development standards imposed for each planning area with respect to minimum building setbacks, distance between buildings, living area, maximum lot coverage, open space requirements and parking. Every unit is provided with a washer and dryer closet and private open space in the form of a porch, patio and/or yard. The following sections provide additional information on the different residential product types.
Single Family Detached Units
Planning Areas 1 and 17 will be developed with 127 “single family detached” units. Both planning areas are zoned Low Density Residential (LDR). Because these are condominiums, each unit will be constructed on an exclusive use area (EUA) that will allow the residents of each unit to have exclusive use of their own front, side and rear yards. The EUA’s will be separated by fencing. Two different EUA sizes are proposed:
· 55 SFD units have a minimum EUA of 50 feet in width by 80 feet in depth. · 72 SFD units have a minimum EUA of 47 feet in width by 80 feet in depth.
The EUA sizes meet the specific plan’s minimum EUA requirement of 2,700 square feet per condominium unit.
Six different floor plans are proposed for the SFD product. Five of the floor plans are two-story units, and one is a one-story unit. The living areas range in size from 1,527 to 2,892 square feet.
Each unit has its own attached two-car garage with direct access from a private street. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms ranges from 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. Some of the floor plans include a bonus room that can be converted into an extra bedroom. A concrete trash pad for City of Corona Page 3 of 10 Printed on 3/21/2024

File #: 24-0198
plans include a bonus room that can be converted into an extra bedroom. A concrete trash pad for receptable waste bins is provided in the side yard of each unit.
The minimum parking requirement for the SFD product is a two-car garage for every unit. As each unit is provided with its own garage, the project meets the parking requirement.
Alley Loaded Units
A total of 56 “alley loaded” detached units are proposed within Planning Areas 2 and 2A, which are zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) and High Density Residential (HDR), respectively. Each unit is two stories and has an attached two-car garage that is accessible from a common 24-footwide alley.
Three floor plans ranging from 2,473 to 2,818 square feet are proposed. The floor plans offer 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Each unit is provided with a private yard along the side of the unit which can accommodate the storage of receptable waste bins.
The minimum parking requirement for the alley loaded units is a two-car garage per unit. As each unit is provided with its own garage, the project meets the parking requirement.
Tri-Plex Units
A total of 84 “tri-plex” units are proposed within Planning Areas 2 and 17A which are both zoned MDR. The units are clustered into groups of three units that are detached. Two of the units are two stories and the third unit is comprised of a single floor located above the garages. The units are separated by a courtyard that is partitioned into private yards to serve the three units.
Three floor plans ranging from 1,536 to 1,818 square feet are proposed. The floor plans have 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 bathrooms. Each unit has a detached two-car garage which has been sized to accommodate the storage of receptable waste bins without obstructing the code’s minimum two-car parking space requirement of 18 feet wide by 20 feet deep.
The minimum parking requirement for the tri-plex units is a two-car garage per unit. As each unit is provided with its own garage, the project meets the parking requirement.
Townhome Units
A total of 113 “townhome” units are proposed in Planning Areas 2 and 2A, which are zoned MDR and HDR, respectively. The townhome units are attached as six- and seven-plex buildings. Each unit is two stories and has an attached two-car garage that is accessible from a common 24-foot-wide alley.
There are also uncovered parking spaces located throughout the townhomes site in order to meet the specific plan’s parking requirement established for attached residential units. This is discussed further below.
Three floor plans ranging from 1,415 to 1,640 square feet are proposed. Each floor plan includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The garages are designed to accommodate the storage of receptable waste bins without impacting the code’s minimum two-car parking space requirement of 18 feet wide by 20 feet deep.
City of Corona Page 4 of 10 Printed on 3/21/2024

File #: 24-0198
The minimum parking requirements for the townhome units are the following:
· Studio or Single Bedroom Units - 1 covered space plus 0.5 uncovered space · 2 Bedroom Units - 2 covered spaces
· 3 or More Bedroom Units - 2 covered spaces plus 0.5 uncovered spaces · Guest Parking - 1 uncovered guest space per 5 units
All of the townhome units have 3 bedrooms per unit; therefore, this site requires 226 covered parking spaces, 57 uncovered parking spaces, and 23 uncovered guest parking spaces, for a total of 306 parking spaces which must all be located on-site.
The project is providing 226 garage spaces to meet the covered parking requirement, 57 uncovered parking spaces on-site to meet the uncovered parking requirement, and 23 uncovered guest parking spaces on-site to meet the guest parking requirement. Therefore, the project meets the parking requirements for the townhome units.
Duplex Units
The project proposes 102 “duplex” units within Planning 2A, which is zoned HDR. The duplex units consist of two units attached by a shared wall. Each unit is three stories and has an attached two-car garage that is accessible from a common 24-foot-wide alley. Additional uncovered parking spaces are located throughout the duplex site for residents and guests.
Three floor plans ranging from 1,398 to 1,572 square feet are proposed. The floor plans offer 3 bedrooms and 2 to 3.5 bathrooms. Similar to the townhome and tri-plex units, the garages for the duplex units have been designed to accommodate the storage of receptable waste bins without impacting the code’s minimum two-car parking space requirement of 18 feet wide by 20 feet deep.
The minimum parking requirements for the duplex units are the following:
· Studio or Single Bedroom Units - 1 covered space plus 0.5 uncovered space · 2 Bedroom Units - 2 covered spaces
· 3 or More Bedroom Units - 2 covered spaces plus 0.5 uncovered spaces · Guest Parking - 1 uncovered guest space per 5 units
All of the duplex units have 3 bedrooms per unit; therefore, this site requires 204 covered parking spaces, 51 uncovered parking spaces, and 20 uncovered guest parking spaces, for a total of 275 parking spaces which must all be located on-site.
The project is providing 204 garage spaces to meet the covered parking requirement, 51 uncovered parking spaces on-site to meet the uncovered parking requirement, and 20 uncovered guest parking spaces on-site to meet the guest parking requirement. Therefore, the project meets the parking requirements for the duplex units.
Six-Pack Units
The project proposes 64 “six-pack” units within Planning Area 17A which is zoned MDR. The units are clustered into groups of six detached units that take access from a common alley. Each unit is two stories and has its own attached two-car garage. Three floor plans ranging from 1,826 to 2,175 City of Corona Page 5 of 10 Printed on 3/21/2024

two stories and has its own attached two-car garage. Three floor plans ranging from 1,826 to 2,175 square feet are proposed. The floor plans offer 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2.5 to 3 bathrooms. The largest plan offers a bonus room that can be converted to a fifth bedroom. All units have their own private side and rear yards that can accommodate the storage of waste receptable bins.
The minimum parking requirement for the six-pack units is a two-car garage per unit. As each unit is provided with its own garage, the project meets the parking requirement.
Architecture
Chapter 7 of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan establishes design guidelines intended to ensure high quality cohesive design for the community. The primary architectural themes established by the specific plan include Mediterranean and California Heritage. The Mediterranean them has three substyles that include Spanish Colonial, Spanish Monterey and Italian/Tuscany. The California Heritage theme has two substyles that include California Bungalow and American Farmhouse.
The project proposes a variety of architectural styles that are variations of the specific plan’s approved architectural themes. The styles include Spanish Colonial, Transitional Farmhouse, American Farmhouse, Contemporary Ranch, California Bungalow, Spanish Monterey, Transitional Spanish, and Tuscany. All of the styles have concrete tiles for the roof and stucco walls combined with accent materials including stone veneer, board and batten, or horizontal siding. The fronts of the units have varying designs and architectural embellishments such as decorative lighting, iron details, window trims, awnings or pot shelves depending on the architectural style. Overall, the project’s architectural styles, materials and color schemes are consistent with the specific plan. The architectural plans are attached as Exhibits 5-11.
Access and Circulation
The project is being developed as part of a private residential community with gated entrances located on Clementine Way and on the southern end of Bedford Canyon Road. Clementine Way will provide access to proposed “A” Street within the project. Hudson House Drive will be extended from the existing roundabout at the intersection of Hudson House Drive and Clementine Way to the project. Hudson House Drive will provide access to several interior streets that will provide direct access to the units within the project.
Hudson House Drive has an overall right-of-way width of 73 feet which includes 40 feet of roadway pavement from curb to curb. The north side of Hudson House Drive will have 8 feet of landscaped parkway with a 5-foot-wide sidewalk. The south side of Hudson House Drive which abuts the proposed Bedford Channel extension will have 8 feet of landscaped parkway with a 12-foot-wide multi-purpose trail which will be paved for pedestrian and bike use to match the trail that was constructed along the segment of Hudson House Drive, east of Clementine Way. The applicant is required to dedicate an easement over the multi-purpose trail to the City for public use. The multipurpose trail terminates at the westerly boundary of the project site and transitions to a private trail as it turns northward. The applicant has agreed to provide trailhead amenities near the westerly end of the multi-purpose trail for the public’s use. The amenities include a bench, signage, trash can, water fountain and bike repair station.
The interior streets within the project are designed per the private street standards established by City of Corona Page 6 of 10 Printed on 3/21/2024
powered by Legistar™
File #: 24-0198
The interior streets within the project are designed per the private street standards established by the Arantine Hills Specific Plan. The streets within the project have an overall right-of-way width of 56 feet, which includes roadway pavement, sidewalks and landscape parkways. The Arantine Hills Specific Plan allows streets with a right-of-way width of 56 feet to have on-street parking on both sides of the street.
Bedford Channel Improvements
The applicant will be extending the Bedford Channel to the southwestern boundary of the project.
The applicant will construct the channel and the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC & WCD) will maintain the channel. The improvements within the channel will include riprap on both sides and a 15-foot-wide maintenance road for RCFC & WCD personnel that wraps around the westerly end of the channel.
Staff has been in discussions with the RCFC & WCD to allow the maintenance road within the western portion of the channel to be used for public trail purposes. The RCFC & WCD supports the City’s request and requires the City to enter into a license agreement with the RCFC & WCD and obtain an encroachment permit from them for the public trail. The trail would allow the public to cross the channel from the proposed trailhead located on the north side of the channel to the south side of the channel. The Conditions of Approval require the applicant to construct or guarantee the construction of the trailhead and trail improvements within the channel. In addition, the applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation of the license agreement between the City and RCFC & WCD. A copy of the letter from the RCFC & WCD with an exhibit depicting the alignment of the trail within the channel is attached as Exhibit 16.
The applicant’s site plan conceptually depicts the location of a future bridge over the Bedford Channel for informational purposes. The applicant has indicated to staff that the applicant has an agreement with the McMillian family who owns the property on the south side of the channel to allow access through the Bedford development to the McMillan property. The bridge will be designed and constructed by the developer of the McMillian property which is unknown at this time. The actual location and design of the bridge will be reviewed by city staff when the McMillian property is developed in the future.
Landscaping, Parks and Amenities
The streets, parks, and open space areas will be landscaped per the applicant’s conceptual landscape plan attached as Exhibit 12. The plan consists of climate adaptive and drought tolerant plant materials that comply with the specific plan’s landscape requirements. Trees are proposed throughout the development to enhance the streetscapes, soften the slopes and residential buildings, provide shade for recreational areas, and beautify the overall development. The project includes a linear park with a meandering walkway and trees located along the north side of “A” Street and a 1.7 -acre park that includes a large open turf field, pool, picnic area, and multi-purpose recreation building. Both parks are private. A conceptual park plan is attached as Exhibit 13.
The southern portion of the project site is located in a high fire severity zone. To reduce the threat of wildland fires, the Conditions of Approval require the applicant to submit a final fuel modification plan to the Fire Department for review and approval. The fuel modification plan will impose certain landscaping requirements and prohibit the use of certain plant species in the designated fuel City of Corona Page 7 of 10 Printed on 3/21/2024

landscaping requirements and prohibit the use of certain plant species in the designated fuel modification zones.
The applicant’s trail plan, Exhibit 14, provides an overview of the trail, sidewalk, and bicycle lane connectivity between the project site and the prior approved phases within the Bedford Community.
The plan also includes a conceptual layout of the trailhead amenities between Hudson House Drive and the channel. Although the residential community is gated, the community includes public trails that are accessible to the general public. The public trails are located along the west side of Clementine Way, east side of Bedford Canyon Road and south side of Hudson House Drive. All other trails and sidewalks that are located within the project are private and are intended for use by the residents living within the community.
Fences and Walls
A six-foot high decorative block wall will be installed along all street facing side and rear yards of the single family, six-pack and alley loaded units and in between the alley loaded units and park sites.
For the units that have private yards, the interior fencing for the private yards will be constructed of six-foot high vinyl fencing. A six-foot high block wall is required as a heat radiation barrier between the slopes and units that are located along the western and northern edges of the project. The applicant’s fence and wall plan is attached as Exhibit 15.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The Arantine Hills Specific Plan is a master plan that was comprehensively evaluated in the Arantine Hills Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified by the City of Corona on August 15, 2012 (SCH No. 2006091093), Supplemental EIR certified on May 19, 2016, Addendum to the Arantine Hills EIR adopted on December 19, 2018, and a Supplemental EIR certified on May 20, 2020. The City has determined that no additional environmental review is necessary in connection with its consideration of TTM 38572 and PP2023-0004, as the applications propose no changes to the project analyzed under the certified EIR, Supplemental EIRs and Addendum, and all of the criteria and circumstances that would require further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15162(a) do not exist.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Dear Mr. Khamphou: Re: MS 208, TTM 38572
Bedford Canyon Wash, Stage 2
Trail Improvements
Project Nos. 2-0-00380 and 2-0-00381
The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) received an email from a developer, Pacific Ventures Management, LLC, on December 15, 2023, stating the City of Corona requested a letter of support for the proposed trail system alongside the Bedford Canyon Wash, Stage 2 and as part of the development currently under entitlement review at the City of Corona (City), Tentative Tract Map No. 38572.
It is the District's understanding the trail is proposed on the west side of Bedford Canyon Wash within public right of way, which begins on the south corner of Bedford Canyon Road and Hudson House Drive and continues south along the east side of Hudson House Drive until it enters proposed District right of way within the Bedford Canyon Wash, Stage 2 debris basin's staging area. The future trail limits within District right of way are hatched in blue in the attached exhibit.
The District is pleased to support this initiative, recognizing its potential to enhance community access and enjoyment subject to the following:
1. Operations and Maintenance: The trail system shall not interfere with the District's operations or our ability to maintain the channel and debris basin effectively.
2. License Agreement: We require a formal license agreement with the City of Corona. In this agreement, the City would undertake the operational and maintenance responsibilities for the new trail improvements. Furthermore, the City shall agree to indemnify the District against all liabilities arising from the public use of the proposed trail system within our right of way.
3. Regulatory Compliance: The design and implementation of the trail system must not conflict with any restrictions imposed by environmental regulatory permits or conservation easements.
4. Encroachment Permit Review and Documentation: We expect all comments and feedback from the encroachment permit review, particularly those relating to trail improvement and landscape plans, to be adequately addressed. Additionally, all requested documentation should be submitted for review.

We believe these conditions will ensure that the trail system not only serves the community but also aligns with the operational and environmental requirements of District facilities.
Please let us know if you have questions on the process or require further clarification. We look forward to collaborating closely with the City of Corona and the developer on this project.
Very truly yours,
