ANALYSIS
Economic Update:
As of December 2022, unemployment was 3.7Yo and 3.5o/o in California and Sacramento County respectively and in Folsom, the unemployment rate was 2.5%. As a comparison, in December 202l,the unemploymentrates were 4.SYoinCalifornia, 4.7o/oin Sacramento County and 4.7Yo in Folsom. A comparison of home sales during the second quarter of FY 2022-23 and FY 2021-22 shows the number of homes sold decreased by 106 or 23.77%. The average median sales price through the second quarter of FY 2022-23 was $741,250 which is an increase of 0.25% over FY 202I-22.
General Fund
Fiscal Year 2022-23 is currently projected to end the year with a General Fund unassigned fund balance of $22.75 million. As a comparison, the unassigned fund balance in FY 2021-22 was$23.26 million. The unassigned fund balance as a percentage of expenditures is projected at2l.04%o for FY 2022-23 and for FY 2021-22, it was 23.69%. The unassigned fund balance as a percentage ofexpenditures is expected to continue to decline as costs continue to increase.
Fiscal Year2022-23 total projected revenues of $107.60 million is an increase of $3.98 million, or 3.84%o over the prior fiscal year, and a projected increase of $2.26 million, or 2.l5Yo over FY 2022-23 budgeted revenues of $105.34 million. The increase is seen mostly in charges for services, intergovernmental revenue, sales tax and property tax.
Property tax received in the first half of the fiscal year was $14.97 million and compared to the prior fiscal year is an increase of $1.57 million. The current projection is for property tax to end the fiscal year with a slight increase of $367,000 over the budgeted amount of $36.05 million, which would be an increase of $3.19 million from FY 202I-22 or 9.6loh.
Sales tax is projected to end the fiscal year at $28.38 million, an increase of $482,000 over the budgeted amount of $27.90 million. When compared to the results for FY 2021-22 sales tax revenues of 527.90 million, total sales tax is projected to increase by only L73% year over year.
Through the second quarter, charges for services were $7.08 million and the current projection for the end of FY 2022-23 is $14.48 million. The projection of $14.48 million is an increase from the $13.11 million budgeted but a decrease from the $15.84 million received in the prior year. The increase over the budgeted amount is mostly related to better than expected Parks and Recreation revenues, up $401,000. Also, development charges are projected to be up $801,000 over the budgeted amount, however, this is passed through for contracted services in the Folsom Plan Area. The decrease in charges for services when compared to the prior fiscal year is in development charges, down approximately $821,000, related to a slowing of fee revenue related to the Plan Area development and a decrease in Parks and Recreation user fees of $468,000.

03/14/2023 Item No.2.
Fiscal Year 2022-23 total projected General Fund expenditures are $108.12 million, 52.78 million (2.64%) more than the appropriated amount of $105.34 million. The projected expenditure total includes salaries and benefits ending the year over budget by $384,000, an increase in contracts of $1.99 million and an increase in capital outlay of $192,000. The projected increase in salaries is primarily in the Fire Department ($1.56 million) and is mostly due to overtime and MOU changes, and this is partially offset by savings due to vacancies in the police department for part of the year ($676k) and other vacancies city-wide.
Utility Enterprise Funds :
All three Utility Operating Funds are projected to end the fiscal year with operating revenues exceeding operating expenses. Working Capital in Water and Wastewater is projected to increase once capital expenses are included. Working Capital in Solid Waste is expected to decrease slightly. In the case of Water and Wastewater, the capital outlay is for capital projects and vehicles and in Solid Waste, it is the purchase of replacement vehicles.
A year over year comparison ofthe fiscal year-end projection ofexpenses and revenues in the combined operating and capital funds shows charges for service revenues in Water are currently projected to increase by $1.36 million (7.61%) and operating expenses are projected to increase by $2.46 million (2450%). The increase in operating expenses is mostly seen in salaries and benefits, maintenance and operations, and contract costs. Wastewater Operating charges for services revenues are projected to increase by $2.53 million (29.57%) and operating expenses are projected to increase by $1.09 million (27.59%). The increase in expense in Wastewater is seen mostly in salaries and benefits, maintenance and operations, and contract costs. Solid Waste Operating charges for services revenues are projected to increase by $ 1 .56 million (7 .94%) and operating expenses are projected to increase by $3.76 million (28.54%). Increases in expenses are mainly due to employee and contract costs. The increase in expenses and revenues in Solid Waste are both directly attributable to the regulations regarding food waste and the change in recyclables.
Expenses for capital improvements are currently projected to increase across all three enterprise funds when compared to the prior year. The increase is due to budgeted project and vehicle replacement costs.

Introduction
This financial report provides an overview ofthe City's unaudited financial position through the second quarter offiscal year (FY) 2022-23 (July l, 2022,t\rolgh December 31,2022) for (l) the General Fund, (2) Housing Special Revenue i'und and L&L Districts, (3) the major enterprise operating funds, and (4) the Risk Management Intemal Service Fund.
Notable cumulative second quarter to second quarter and budget to actual comparisons are included in this report in addition to year-end projections.
Executive Summary
During the first two quarters of FY 2022-23 almost all COVID-l9 related restrictions had been lifted and the economy remained strong. However, additional influences are causing economic challenges. Persistent inflation and ongoing supply chain issues have caused costs to continuously increase. This is impacting almost all City departments as the cost ofpurchasing services and supplies and labor costs continue to grow at a faster rate than the City's revenue sources' This is resulting in current projected year-end General Fund revenues of $107.60 million and projected expenditures of $10S.12 million, a deficit of $515,000 by the end of the fiscal year. It is projected that the General Fund's unassigned fund balance will decrease from $23.26 million to $22.75 million by the fiscal year end. Below is a chart of the unassigned fund balance over the last ten years and displays the projected change from FY 2021-22toFY 2022-23.

General Fund: Operating Revenues
The following table includes cumulative revenue comparisons through the second quarter of FY 2021-22 andFY 2022- 23 and a revenue budget comparison for FY 2023-23 with year-end projections.
General Fund operating revenues through the second quafter areS37.44 million, which is 3.64% less than the same period inFY 2021-22. Revenues are at 3554% of the budget through the second quarter of the current year, primarily due to the timing associated with receiving some of the larger revenue sources. For instance, property tax is the largest General Fund revenue source, but funding is received in two installments, of which one has been received. The second installment will be received during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
The following is an explanation of the notable variances:
. Property tax revenues exceeded last year's cumulative second quarter by 11.73% or $1.57 million. A comparison of home sales during the second quarter of FY 2022-23 andFY 2021-22 shows the number of homes sold decreased by 106 or 23.77o/o. The average median sales price through the second quarter of FY 2022-23 was 5741,250, which is an increase of 0.25Yo over FY 2021-22. The property tax revenue projection for Fiscal Year 2022-23 year-end is $367,000 greater than the budgeted amount of $36.05 million, which would exceed the prior year by $3. l9 million or 9 .6lYo. . Sales tax revenues also exceeded last year's cumulative second quarter by 4.13% or $359,000. The most recent sales tax data shows the categories of general retail, food products, transportation and the countywide pool increasing over the same period last year, all other categories were flat or decreased when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Inflation is the biggest factor in the increased sales tax, most significantly affecting the cost of gasoline and food. The threat of a recession is looming as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates in an effort to get inflation under control.
Based on the latest sales tax forecast, sales tax is trending to end the year slightly above the budget at $28.38 million, an increase from the prior year of $482,000 or 1.73%o. Below is a graph showing sales tax revenue for the current fiscal year and the past five fiscal years. This illustrates the dips and rises shallowing and leveling off.

. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collections are at $636,000 through the second quarter and are projected to end the fiscal year aI $2.20 million, a decrease of $398,000, or l5.32Yo when compared to the FY 2021-22 amount. Hotel stays inFY 2021-22 were impacted favorably due to stays related to the Caldor Fire. The decrease projected for FY 2022-23 puts TOT collections more in line with a normal year. . Charges for services, including building and engineering fees, Parks and Recreation user fees, and ambulance fees are at $7.08 million through the second quarter and are projected to end the fiscal year at $14.48 million.

This is in part due to a high number of vacant positions in both the Police and Fire Departnents for the first half of the fiscal year. The projection for the end of the fiscal year is for expenditures to be at $108.12 million which would be $2.78 million more ihan the budgeted amount or 102.640A of budget. The projected increase in expenditures is primarily due to increases in overtime, services and supplies, and contract costs.
The table below shows a comparison for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 for each General Fund Department.
The following is an explanation of the department specific variances of year-end projections as compared to the budget:
. Police Department is projected to end the year under budget by $671k due to vacant positions for a portion of the year.
. Fire department is projected to end the fiscal year $2.15 million (8.33%) over the budgeted amount, which is mainly seen in overtime costs and vehicle maintenance. Overtime costs have been impacted by many vacant positions and long-term absences. Vehicle maintenance costs are up due to both inflation and the nature of maintaining aging equipment.
. Community Development department is projected to end the fiscal year $1.66 million (26.16%) over the budgeted Ermount, which is mostly due to increases in contract costs that are partially offset by increased revenues.
. Non-Departmental is projected to end the fiscal year $800,000 under budget, which represents the unspent portion of the contingency budget ($900k total). However, it is anticipated that the contingency will be spent on emergency roofrepair projects this fiscal year and the year-end expenditure projection will increase.
Overall General Fund departments' expenditures are trending at budget (in line with the 50Yo expectation) at this point in the fiscal year.

SUBJECT Resolution No. 11002 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Olin Corporation, DBA Olin Chlor Alkali Products for the Supply of Sodium
Hypochlorite for the Water Treatment Plant and Appropriation of Funds
F'ROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11002 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Olin Corporation, DBA Olin Chlor Alkali Products for the Supply of Sodium Hypochlorite for the Water Treatment Plant and Appropriation of Funds.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City of Folsom receives 100% of its water supply from Folsom Lake. The City's Water Treatment Plant treats up to 50 million gallons per day of this supply to provide potable water to its customers. To meet the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water standards, the water treatment process uses a combination of flocculation/sedimentation pretreatment, conventional gravity media filters, and disinfection. An essential chemical for the disinfection process is sodium hypochlorite.
In September 2020,through Resolution No. 10518 the City Council approved execution of an agreement with Olin Corporation, DBA Olin Chlor Alkali Products (Olin) to supply sodium hypochlorite for the Water Treatment Plant for a five-year period. In July 2022, Olin requested relief for the remainder of the contract terms, providing documentation detailing the limited supply and rising costs of raw materials, in addition to increases in the costs of both chemical 1
03/14/2023 Item No.10.
manufacturing and fuel. Based on this understanding, Olin has continued to supply sodium hypochlorite to the Water Treatment Plant, but in just the past year, the price of Sodium Hypochlorite, which cost $0.839 per gallon in early 2022has almost tripled to 52.37 per gallon in early 2023. Funding needed for the purchase of necessary chemicals has therefore exceeded the amounts anticipated at the time that the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23 was prepared.
In an effort to reduce overall chemical costs, the City is participating with a cooperative group of public agencies through the Bay Area Chemical Consortium (BACC) which develops regional chemical bid documents each year. The regional bid documents allow these water purveyors to leverage larger chemical volumes under one bid to reduce costs. Through this process, Olin Corporation has provided the lowest responsive and responsible bid for providing sodium hypochlorite for use at the City of Folsom Water Treatment Plant.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Olin Corporation, DBA Olin Chlor Alkali Products for the supply of sodium hypochlorite for the Water Treatment Plant and Appropriation of Funds.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 236 of the Folsom Municipal Code, contracts for supplies costing $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.
ANALYSIS
On January 26,2023, the BACC completed the regional chemical bid documents and publicly advertised for bids. The following bids were received by BACC on February 23,2023,relating to supply of sodium hypochlorite for the City of Folsom:
Contractor Weiehted Averase Bid Price
Olin Corporation $2.89 per gallon
Univar Solutions USA Inc. $3.31 per eallon
Hasa,Inc $2.94 per sallon
As delivery sizes and locations vary by agency, the successful bidders are chosen based on a weighted average bid price for the chemical. The weighted average bid price includes the volume of product purchased and the travel distance for delivery to each agency. Olin Corporation was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the supply of sodium hypochlorite to the City of Folsom.
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Olin Corporation, DBA Olin Chlor Alkali Products for the purchase of sodium hypochlorite for the Water Treatment Plant. 2

The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11003 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (Contract No. 173-21 22-029) with HDR Engineering, Inc. for Engineering Services for the Water Treatment Plant Backwash and Recycled Water Upgrades Project and Appropriation of Funds'
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Environmental and Water Resources (EWR) Department identifies water infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through waster master plans, ongoing water condition assessment programs, and regulatory changes. EWR staff completed an analysis of potential Water Treatment Plant capacity and reliability projects. Through these efforts, EWR staff identified the Water Treatment Plant Backwash and Recycled Water Upgrades Project as a priority project.
There are two Reclaimed Backwash (RBW) ponds (RBW #1 and RBW #2) at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) that store backwash water, which is water used to clean the frlters. This backwash water can be recycled back to the headworks of the WTP. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) allows water agencies to recycle up to 10% of the backwash water based on the water treatment plant capacity.

is 50 million gallons per day (MGD), and |0o/o of the current firm capacity, or 5.0 MGD of backwash water, can be recycled back into the system. This project will increase redundancy and reliability to allow for I\Yo of the firm capacity, or 5.0 MGD of backwash water, to be recycled back into the WTP system. Currently, the infrastructure can only recycle 3.5 MGD.
Additionally, increasing the recycled water capacity greatly reduces the City's risk for the RBW ponds to potentially overflow.
The current piping configuration at the inlet of the RBW ponds only feeds RBW #2. This project will upgrade the piping alrangement to feed either RBW #1 or RBW #2with isolation valves. Having this operational flexibility in feeding either pond will allow for the maintenance and cleaning of one pond at a time, while the other pond is still operating. This project also involves upgrading the submersible pumps in the decant pump station (DPS) at the outlet of the RBW ponds to meet the peak flow of approximately 5.0 MGD. Additionally, the DPS control system will be upgraded to provide improved operational controls and flexibility. The DPS wet well also has aging and leaking slide gates that will be replaced.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. I to the Agreement (Contract No. 173-21 22-029) with HDR Engineering, Inc. for Engineering Services for the Water Treatment Plant Backwash and Recycled Water Upgrades Project for a not-to-exceed amount of $38,681 and appropriation of funds.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11004 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with McGuire and Hester, Inc. for the Folsom Lake Crossing and East Natoma Street Friction Enhancement Proj ect
FROM: Public Works Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. I 1004 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with McGuire and Hester, Inc. for the Folsom Lake Crossing and East Natoma Street Friction Enhancement Project.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Public Works Department is responsible for the operation, safety, and maintenance of roadways throughout Folsom. In June 2021, a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) was developed, which is a data-driven report that systematically identifies and analyzes roadway safety issues and recommends improvements. The LRSP utilized accident data between 2015 and2019 to determine locations and causes of traffic accidents, allowing engineers to implement specific countermeasures to address the causes of accidents, leading to a safer roadway network for vehicles, bicycle, and pedestrians.
The LRSP identified two specific locations, one on Folsom Lake Crossing between Folsom Dam Road and the Johnny Cash Trail entrance, and another on East Natoma Street between Folsom Lake Crossing and Gionata Way, that would benefit from the installation of median barriers and dynamic radar speed feedback signs. Utilizing the data and recommendations from the LRSP, the city was successful in receiving Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds for those improvements. That project is currently in design with an anticipated 1
03/14/2023 Item No.12.
construction date of May 2023.
These two sections of roadway have recently experienced an increase of wet-weather related traffic accidents. After reviewing the collision reports, available traffic camera footage, and consultation with the Folsom Police Department Traffic Division, staff made the determination to install a Rubberized Open-Grade Friction Course (OGFC). OGFC is a type of asphalt that increases the friction of the roadway, reduces the potential for hydroplaning and reduces tire spray allowing for higher visibility during rain events. OGFC is approved for use by Caltrans, and the city has previously installed OGFC on Glenn Drive, successfully reducing the number of wet weather-related traffic accidents.
POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080, Award of Contracts of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by City Council.
ANALYSIS
Public Works staff prepared the bid package and publicly advertised the project on January 13, 2023. Bids were received on February 2,2023.
The six bids received are as follows:
o McGuire and Hester, Inc.
o Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt
o All Phase Construction and Engineering, Inc
o Vintage Paving Company,Inc.
o B&M Builders, Inc.

$456,500
$496,669
$499,150
$515,235
$546,795
s643,975
The Engineer's Estimate for this project was $500,000. The Public Works Department has found the bids to be in order and recommends that the contract be awarded to the low-bidder, McGuire and Hester, Inc. Staff will use the City's standard agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
FINAN IMPACT
The contract with McGuire and Hester, Inc. would be authorized for $456,500 with the total project budget of $502,150, which includes a ten percent contingency amount of $45,650 for potential change orders.
Funds in the amount of $502,150 are budgeted and available in the Street Overlay/Pavement Management Project, Project No. 8017, utilizing Measure A funds (Fund 276) and SBl, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation funds (Fund 235) fot Fiscal Year 2022-23. 2 Page 72

FROM: Environmental and Water Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Environmental and Water Resources Department recommends the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11005 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with West Yost & Associates, Inc. for Construction Management and Inspection Services for the Greenback Sewer and Lift Station No. 3 Project.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Environmental and Water Resources (EUfR) Department identifies sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects through sewer master plans and ongoing sewer condition assessment programs. As a condition of the City's State permit for its wastewater collection system, the EWR Department is required to perform ongoing condition assessments on the wastewater system and correct any defects/deficiencies identified through this process. Through these efforts, City staff identified the Greenback Sewer and Lift Station as needing rehabilitation or replacement.
This project involves the decommissioning of the existing, active Pump Station 3, installing a flow diversion structure, and other miscellaneous sewer system modifications. By modifring the existing sewer infrastructure and installing the flow diversion structure, the small volume of flow that is sent to Pump Station 3 canbe diverted to Pump Station 2 which will allow Pump Station 2 to run more efficiently. For potential emergency and operational pu{poses, the City will purchase and install a new trailer mounted portable bypass pump at the Pump Station 3 facility. The portable bypass pump and existing ancillary equipment associated with Pump Station 3 will serve as a

ANAI ,YSIS
The City and Landowner's predecessor (Eagle Commercial Partners, LLC) previously entered into the First Amended and Restated Tier I Development Agreement By and Between the City of Folsom and Landowner Relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan on July 15, 2014. Section 1.5 of the Restated Development Agreement allows the Restated Development Agreement to be amended from time to time by mutual written consent of the parties. On November 12,2015, Eagle Commercial Partners, LLC and the City entered into Amendment No. 1 to First Amended and Restated Tier 1 Development Agreement Relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan. The applicant is proposing Amendment No. 2 to the First Amended and Restated Development Agreement by and between the City of Folsom and Eagle Commercial Properties, LLC relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan for the purpose of deed restricting 64 affordable housing units on a portion of the Remainder within Parcel 61 located within in the Folsom Plan Area.
As described above, the Landowner is proposing to deed restrict 64 multi-family housing units on a portion of the Remainder within Parcel 61, located within in the Folsom Plan Area, for the purpose of assisting the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) assigned by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The 64 multi-family housing units, which would be made available to low-, very-low, and/or extremely-low income households, will be deed restricted for a period of 55 years from the date of recording. The deed restriction must be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the Folsom Ranch Apartments Project.
In exchange for perfecting the deed restriction, the landowner will receive credits for a total of 64 deed-restricted multi-family housing units. In the event that Landowner (or a successor in interest) proposes residential development on Parcel 61 in the future, any applicable requirement for inclusionary andlor affordable housing will be offset by 64 units.
Alternatively, the Affordable Housing Credits may be transferred to and used to satisff and/or offset the inclusionary andlor affordable housing obligation for other residential projects owned by Eagle Commercial Properties on Parcels 77,85A-3, or 854-4 in the Folsom Plan Area.
4 Page 84
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
There is no inclusionary or affordable housing requirement applicable to the proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project. In the unlikely event that the City passes an inclusionary housing ordinance applicable to rental units, the proposed project would be subject to it, unless a complete application for a building permit is submitted before the new ordinance takes effect.
Staff recommends that the form of deed restriction be submitted with owner/applicant's application for a building permit and will be subject to the City Afiorney's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Condition No. 7 is included to reflect this requirement.
City staff has conducted a thorough review of the proposed modifications to the Development Agreement and is supportive of the Development Agreement amendment as proposed by the applicant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact is anticipated with approval of the Development Agreement Amendment associated with the Folsom Ranch Apartments Project as the project will not result in any change in the total amount of commercial square footage or residential unit count within the Folsom Plan Area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
A CEQA Exemption and Streamlining Analysis and Checklist was prepared for the Folsom Ranch Apartments Project in October,2022 in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City reviewed the applicant's analysis and concurred that the project is exempt from additional environmental review as provided in CEQA Guidelines 15182(c).
On February 15,2023,the Planning Commission found that the project was exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section65457 and CEQA Guidelines section 151S2(c). The Development Agreement Amendment was considered by staff and the Planning Commission as a part of the determination that the project is exempt. No additional environmental review is required.

ATTACHMENT 1
BACKGROUND AND SETTING
Background:
The proposed project site is part of the approved Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP), a comprehensively planned community that proposes new development based "Smart Growth" and Transit Oriented Development principles. The FPASP, approved in 2011, is a development plan for over 3,500 acres of previously undeveloped land located south of U.S. Highway 50, north of White Rock Road, east of Prairie City Road, and west of the Sacramento County/El Dorado County line in the southeastern portion of the City.
The FPASP includes a mix of residential, commercial, employment and public uses, complemented by recreational amenities including a significant system of parks and open space, all within close proximity to one another and interconnected by a network of "complete streets", trails and bikeways. The Specific Plan is consistent with the SACOG Blueprint Principles and the requirements of SB 375 (Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act). The FPASP includes 11,461 residential units at various densities on approximately 1,630 acres; 310 acres designated for commercial and industrial use; +/-130 acres designated for public/quasi-public uses, elementary/middle school/high schools, and community/neighborhood parks; and +/-1 ,1 10 acres for open-space areas.
Since FPASP adoption in 2O11, the City Council has approved eight amendments to the Specific Plan with land use and density refinements. Overall, the changes to the Specific Plan have reduced the amount of commercial development planned for the area and increased the amount of residential development:
Approved 2011
Gommercial: 5,199,408 SF
Residential Units: 10,210 Units
As Amended to Date
2,788,844 SF (-2,410,564 SF)
11,461 Units (+1,251 Units)
Based on the approved changes, the projected population of the FPASP has increased from24,362 (based on approved development in 2010) to 27,965 (as approved to date). ln addition, a number of Minor Administrative Modifications have been approved. These minor modifications moved allocated residential dwelling units to new locations in the FPASP area, but did not affect the overall number of approved residential units. Because they do not increase or decrease residential units, these minor modifications do not affect the ultimate population of the FPASP area.

On March 17,2O2O, the City approved a Minor Administrative Modification (MAM) to shift commercial and residential square footage among multiple parcels (Parcels 61, 77, 78, and 85A) located within the Folsom Plan Area including the subject parcel in order to meet the maximum development intent of the properties involved. The resulting Transfer of Development Rights resulted in the subject property (Parcel 85A) being allocated G22,OOO gross square feet for a mixture of different commercial land uses (GC-RC, GC- GC, and GC-lND/OP).
On May 19,2021, the Planning Commission approved a Planned Development Permit, and Conditional Use Permit for development of a 530,000-square-foot Dignity Medical Center (Folsom Ranch Medical Center) on a 27 .44-acre site (Parcel 85A-1) located at the northeast corner of the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Alder Creek Parkway within the Folsom Plan Area. The Folsom Ranch Medical Center project is located across future McCarthy Way directly to the west of the proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project site. On June 22, 2021, the City Council approved a Development Agreement Amendment associated with the previously approved Folsom Ranch Medical Center project.
The Folsom Ranch Apartments project site is currently comprised of two separate parcels, FPASP Parcel 85A-3 and FPASP Parcel 85A-4 as shown in the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan. Both project parcels are currently designated as SP-GC (Specific plan-General Commercial within the Specific Plan. The parcels were also allocated a combination of multi-family medium density units (122 MMD units), multi-family high- density units (221 MHD units), and parkland (3.3-acres parkland) in additionalto general commercial square footage. As part of the subject application, the applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for development of townhome-style apartment buildings on the two project parcels.

A. General Plan and Specific Plan Consistency
General Plan and Specific Plan Amendment and Consistencv The 15.8-acre project site has a General Plan land use designation of GC (General Commercial) and a Specific Plan land use designation of SP-GC-PD (Specific Plan- GeneralCommercial-Planned Development Permit). ln addition, the project site has been allocated with multi-family residential units (122 MMD units and 221 MHD units) and parkland (3.3-Acres PARK). The project is consistent with both the General Plan land use designation and the Specific Plan land use designation, as duplexes and similar uses are identified as a permitted land use within the SP-GC land use designation of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan approval of a Conditional Use Permit (FPASP, Table

A.7). ln addition, the proposed project meets the development requirements established by the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Table A.4, MLD Two-Family Dwellings) with respect to lot area, building height, building coverage, and setbacks. A slight modification to the development requirements relative to the number of covered parking spaces is proposed with this application and is discussed within the Planned Development Permit section of this staff report.
B. Conditional Use Permit
Land Use Compatibilitv
The proposed project is located on an undeveloped, 15.8-acre commercially designated property situated at the northwest corner of the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive. As described and shown in the Background section of this staff report, the project site is bounded by Placerville Road to the north with a future single-family residential subdivision beyond, Alder Creek Parkway to the south with a single-family residential subdivision beyond, future McCarthy Way to the west with the future Folsom Ranch MedicalCenter beyond, and future Westwood Drive to the eastwith a future single- family residential subdivision beyond.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to develop and operate a 238-unit market rate "paired" apartment community on the subject 1S.8-acre project site located at the northwest corner of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive. The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed use (paired, townhome-style apartment buildings similar to duplexes) at this location, which has a Specific Plan land use designation of SP-GC-PD. (FPASP, Table A.7.) The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Specific Plan) states that the General Commercial land use designation is intended to provide for a wide range of highway- oriented retail, office, manufacturing, lodging, and service uses. However, the Specific Plan also indicates that office and multi-family residential uses are permitted (conditionally permitted in this specific case) and encouraged for three of the commercial sites located at the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Alder Creek Parkway, including the subject site (Parcel 85A-3 and 85A-4).
ln order to approve this request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Commission must find that the "establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use or building applied for will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and implovements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City.'

As a housing development project, the proposed project is also subject to the State Housing Accountability Act and subsequent State legislation (SB 330) whose intent is to promote housing development in the State by limiting local authority to deny housing development projects, downzone propefi, reduce the density of residential projects, or adopt or apply new subjective design standards. As stated in the Housing Accountability Act, the Legislature's intent with this legislation was to "meaningfully and effectively curb[] the capability of local governments to deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible housing development projects." (Government Code S 65589.5(aX2XK).) Under the Housing Accountability Act, when a proposed market rate housing development project complies with applicable, objective development standards but the local agency proposes to deny the project, the agency must base its decision on written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record that both of the following conditions exist:
1. The project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety. For purposes of this finding, "specific, adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they exited on the date the application was deemed complete.
2. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified above, other than the disapproval of the project.
Government Code S 65589.sCI)(1)
ln the event the Commission were to consider denying the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed project, the Commission would need to make the standard Conditional Use Permit denial finding and also the statutorily required findings mentioned above, to the effect that (1) the proposed project would have a "specific adverse impact" upon the public health or safeg, meaning a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete (August 20, 2021) by the City; and (2) there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact. For reference purposes, listed below are examples of the two statutorily required findings that would need to be made (in addition to the standard CUP denial finding) in order to the deny the Conditional Use Permit:
The housing development project as proposed would have a specific, adversea impact upon the public health or safety, because

o There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact mentioned above, other than disapproval of the project or approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density because ln reviewing the request for a Conditional Use Permit, staff took into consideration the compatibility of the proposed land use in relation to the existing land uses in the immediate project vicinity. Potential noise impacts, traffic impacts, parking impacts, and aesthetic impacts were also analyzed and are addressed within separate sections of this report.
As mentioned earlier within this report, the project site is located in close proximity to a major arterial roadway (Alder Creek Parkway) and within an area that will eventually include a mixture of different types of land uses including single-family residences, multi- family residences, medical and professional offices, two hospitals, a retail shopping center, a park, and an elementary school. ln the immediate project area, the only existing land use is a single-family residential subdivision (KB Homes Soleil at Folsom Ranch) located across Alder Creek Parkway to the south. Future land uses in the immediate prgect vicinity include the Folsom Ranch Medical center across future McCarthy Way to the west and a single-family residential subdivision across Westwood Drive to the east.
The proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project is a market rate rental community that will provide housing opportunities for approximately 595 residents. Given the residential nature of the proposed use, staff has determined that the proposed project will be complimentary to the existing single-family residential land uses located in the immediate project vicinity and the future single-family residential and multi-family residential uses in the project area. ln addition, staff has determined that the proposed project will also be complimentary to future surrounding non-residential uses in the vicinity that will provide a variety of daily and weekly services (medicaloffices, hospital, retail shopping center, park, and school) to the apartment residents.
Staff is generally supportive of the proposed use in the subject location. Some of the potential impacts considered in reaching that conclusion were noise, traffic, parking, and aesthetics. Those issues and the associated conditions of approval on the project are discussed in detail in other sections of the report. For purposes of this section of the report, staff notes that the conditions of approval imposed on the project are intended to address and mitigate any adverse impacts on the surrounding community potentially caused by the proposed project, and also to protect future residents of the proposed project from adverse impacts they could potentially experience due to existing and anticipated surrounding land uses. Staff therefore recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit, with the proposed conditions of approval, to allow development of "paired" townhouse-style apartments in this location.

C. Planned DeveloPment Permit
The purpose of the Planned Development Permit process is to allow greater flexibility in the design of integrated developments than otherwise possible through strict application of land use regulitions. The Planned Development Permit process is also designed to encourage creative and efficient uses of land. The following are proposed as part of the applicant's Planned Development Permit:
o State Housing Accountability Act
. DevelopmentStandards
. Building Architecture and Design
. Signage
State Housinq Accountability Act
Se@rauthoredSenateBill330(.SB330"),the..HouSingCrisisActof 2019," to "suspend certain restrictions on the development of new housing during the period of the statewide emergency" through January 1, 2025 stemming from the lack of housing supply throughout the state. On October 9,2019, Governor Newsom signed SB 330 into law'eifective as of January 1,2020. Subsequently, the Legislature enacted and the Governor signed Senate Bill 8, which extends SB 330 through January 1, 2030.
Although SB 330 enacted numerous changes to the procedures for processing, reviewi-ng, and approving housing development projects, one of its changes is of particulai relevance to the Planning Commission with respect to the proposed prolect. bg ggO added provisions to the Housing Accountability Act (Government Code section 65589.5, or the 'HAA") to ensure only objective standards are used to deny or reduce the density of a housing development project.
At the highest level, the HAA limits the City's discretion with respect to housing development projects to the evaluation of that project's consistency with objective development standards. As amended by SB 330, "objective" mgan: "involving no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and being uniformly verifiable by ieference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official".
As noted above, the HAA's key function is to limit the City's discretion with respect to housing development projects. Specifically, when a housing development project compli-s with applicable, objective development standards, the City may not deny the project or impose a condition that it be developed at a lower density without making bpecific findings that the project would otherwise have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety that cannot be mitigated. Despite this limitation, the HAA provides that, "nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a local agency from requiring the housing development project to comply with objective, quantifiable, written
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
development standards, conditions, and policies appropriate to, and consistent with, meeting the jurisdiction's share of the regional housing need.
For a standard to be objective, it must be "ttniformly verifiable," which means that "there is little to no room for reasonable persons to differ on whether a project complies with [an external and uniforml benchmark." Examples of objective standards can include building setbacks, building height requirements, and building lot coverage when they are suitably specific. For example, requirements that building height not exceed 45 feet, that buildings shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet to a maximum of 20 feet from the property line, and that a building or buildings cover no more than 50% of lot, are all objective, because it is possible for an applicant, the public, City staff, or City officials to know whether an application complies by reference to measurable benchmarks. Likewise, design review criteria can be objective by making reference to specific features, such as a roof pitch with a slope of 1:5. References to design styles may be objective so long as the elements are clearly defined and include illustrations.
By contrast, standards that are "so malleable that reasonable minds could differ on whether they are met" are not objective, and may not be a basis to deny, or reduce the density of housing development projects pursuant to the HAA. lf a standard requires any level of "after-the-fact interpretive gloss," it is not sufficiently objective. For example, the City of San Mateo established guidelines that advised an applicant to avoid changes in OuitOing height greater than one story from adjacent structures. The guidelines further provided that if height varied by more than one story between buildings, a transition or step in height would be necessary. Such standards are not objective, because it is not knowable in advance when changes greater than one story in height would be allowable or how much "transition or step in height" would be sufficient to bring a project into conformity with the guideline. With that said, the HAA does not barthe City from imposing conditions of approval based on adopted standards that are not objective (like the Multifamily Design Guidelines, for example), as long as those conditions do not have the effect of reducing the project density.
Standards that require a project to obtain entitlements that involve subjective decision- making (like a Conditional Use Permit) are likewise not objective, and therefore they cannol be used to deny a housing development project, given the requirements of the HAA. For example, the State Department of Housing and Community Development advises that, "a standard that requires a general plan amendment, the adoption of a specific plan, planned development permit, conditional use permit or another discretionary permit or approval does not constitute an objective standard." Under HCD's guidance, the City "shall not require a development proponent to meet any standard for wnicn the locality typically exercises subjective discretion, on a case-by-case basis," because such a requirement would expose housing development projects to non- objective standards, upending the HAA's protections.
As it relates to the State Housing Accountability Act, the proposed project includes a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development. As

discussed previously within the Conditional Use Permit section of this staff report, if the Commission were to consider denying the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed project, the Commission would need to make findings to the effect that the proposed project would have a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete by the City. ln addition, the Commission would need to find that any such impacts could not be mitigated without denying the project. ln this particular case, the City in its review of the Conditional Use permit, did not identify any specific adverse impact associated with development of the apartment community.
With respect to requested Planned Development Permit, the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan includes objective standards (FPASP Table A 4) that regulate residential development with respect to minimum lot area, minimum lot width, building setbacks, building height, and parking. As stated previously within this report, the proposed pro.lect meets Ltt of these objective standards with the exception of the parking requirement where the-applicant is requesting approval to deviate from the parking standard for the required covered parking spaces in order to increase the number of trees planted within the project site.
A review of the architecture and design of the proposed apartment building is included as part of the Planned Development Permit. As discussed within the Planned Development section of this staff report, the proposed prolect is subject to the Multi-Family Design Guidelines established within the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan and the Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Development. While City staff has determined that the architecture and design of the proposed project meets the intent of these two sets of design guidelines, these guidelines do not provide specific objective standards for the purpose! of complying with the Housing Accountability Act. As a result, the Commission would not be able to deny the Planned Development Permit on the basis on the project's architecture and design. However, the Planning Commission is able to recommend modifications to the design, color, and materials of the apartment buildings and include the same as conditions of approvalon the project, so long as these changes do not reduce the overall density of the proposed prolect.
Development Standards
fne appticant's intent with the subject application is to create a set of development standards that will comply with the development standards established within the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan for multi-family designated residential (SP-MMD-PD) properties with the exception of creating a new standard for the required number of covered parking spaces. The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan indicates that multi-family duplex units developed within GC designated properties such as the subject site shall be subject to the MMD development standards (FPASP Table A.4). The Specific Plan requires that two covered parking spaces be provided for each apartment unit. The applicant is proposing this standard be modified for the proposed project with one covered and one uncovered parking space being required forthe two-bedroom units (104 units), with the
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
three-bedroom units still being required to include two covered parking spaces. The deviation in the covered parking requirement is being requested to allow for the planting of additional trees throughout the project site. The table on the following page outlines the existing and proposed development standards for the Folsom Ranch Apartments project:
TABLE 1: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TABLE
As shown on the development standards table, the proposed project meets or exceeds all development standards established for the SP-MMD-PD (Multi-Family Medium Density) zoning district within the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, with the exception of |1n" nunin.r of-required covered parking spaces as previously discussedlsD2]. Parking is addressed separately within the Parking Section of this staff report. ln addition, the proposed project is requesting approval to deviate from the signage requirements established within the Folsom Municipal Code. by having four project identification signs (the FPASP does not have specific standards with regard to signage).
A detailed discussion of the project identification request is contained within the Signage section of this report.
Buildinq Architecture and Desion
ns OetaiteO in ne Project Description section of this report, the proposed project includes development of 119 two-story townhome-style apartment buildings and a one-story clubhouse building. ln terms of architectural style, the proposed project features a contemporary Spanish Colonial design theme featuring stucco exteriors, tile roofs, wood trim, decorative iron detailing, and an earthtone color scheme. Proposed elevations, renderings, and street scenes of the apartment buildings and clubhouse are shown on the following pages.

The Housing Accountability Act effectively prevents the City from denying a housing development project for failing to comply with subjective design standards. (Government Code S 65589.50X1); Government Code S 65589.5(f)(1); Government Code S 65589.5(i); see also Government Code S 65589.5(hXB) ) However, subjective design standards or criteria can support conditions of approval on a market rate residential project, as long as they do not result in a reduced density or a reduction of the percentage of a lot that may be occupied by a building.
The proposed prolect is subject to the City's De6ign Guidelines for Multi-Family Development. The Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Development recommend that multi-family projects be designed in a manner that compliments the surrounding communi$. The following are some of the specific design recommendations suggested by the Design Guidelines:
o Variety and distinctness in design are desirable
. Expanses of uninterrupted wall area, unbroken roof forms, and box-like structures shall be prohibited. Balconies, porches, bay windows, chimneys, and other design elements with projections and varied setbacks shall be used to break up.the physical characteristics of structu res.
. Separations and changes in the height of roof planes shall be used to visually separate the units. Articulation such as roof dormers, hips, gables, balconies, wall projections, and porches shall be used to break up the visual massing of building facades.
o The use of a variety and combination of building materials is encouraged. Building materials selected for multi-family projects shall be very durable and require low maintenance including, but not limited to, stucco, stone, and brick. Building materials shall integrate quality design elements consistent with the design of the development and the surrounding neighborhood.
. Predominant roof materials shall be of high quality, durable material such as, but not limited to, clay or concrete roof tiles and asphalt shingles. o Exterior building colors shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood setting and shall not be out of character or in visual competition with the existing surrounding design elements.
. All accessory structures, including carports, garages, and solid waste enclosures, shall be designed with materials and in a manner consistent with the architectural design characteristics of the development.
As illustrated on the building elevations, color renderings, and street scenes (Attachments 13-15), the proposed apartment buildings and clubhouse incorporate many of the key design features recommended by the Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Development including use of varied building forms to create visual relief, use of building projections
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
to break the massing of the building, and the inclusion of unique design details to reinforce the Spanish Colonial design theme.
As shown on the color and materials board (Attachment 15), the proposed project utilizes a variety of natural building materials to enhance the appearance of the apartment buildingi and clubhouse. ln terms of building materials, traditional stucco is juxtaposed with wood trim elements, metaldesign details, and concrete roof tiles. Cladding, signage, fencing, and other building materials have been incorporated to emulate the local context of the surrounding residential neighborhoods, but with a focus on the contemporary Spanish Colonial design theme. With respect to building colors, the proposed project utilizes a series of light earthy gray and tan colors which are supplemented by a series of darker and lighter accent colors.
Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff has determined that the proposed project features a high-quality design that is consistent with the design recommendations of the Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Development. As a result, staff recommends approval of the applicant's design with the following conditions, to which the applicant does not object:
1. This approval is for 119 two-story townhome-style apartment buildings and a one- story clubhouse building associated with the Folsom Ranch Apartments project.
The applicant shall submit building plans that comply with this approval and the attached building elevations and color renderings dated October 14,2022.
2. The design, materials, and colors of the proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments apartment buildings and clubhouse shall be consistent with the submitted building elevations, color renderings, materials samples, and color scheme to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department.
3. Brick pavers or another type of colored masonry material (ADA compliant) shall be used to designate pedestrian crosswalks on the project site, in addition to where pedestrian paths cross drive aisles, and shall be incorporated as a design feature at the driveway entrances at Westwood Drive to the satisfaction of the Commun ity Development Department.
4. Roof-mounted mechanical equipment, including satellite dish antennas, shall not extend above the height of the parapet walls. Ground-mounted mechanical equipment shall be shielded by landscaping or trellis type features.
5. Utility equipment such as transformers, electric and gas meters, electrical panels, and junction boxes shall be screened by walls and or landscaping.
These recommendations are included in the conditions of approval (Condition No. 41) presented for consideration by the Planning Commission.

Sionaqe
The proposed project includes two freestanding monument signs and two decorative wall signs inlaid in the perimeter sound wall. The two monument signs are located within a landscaped area at the two project entrances on Westwood Drive. The two decorative wall signs are located on the perimeter wall at the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and McCarthy Way and the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive respectively. The two proposed monument signs, which are approximately 32 square feet in size, are designed to complement the design of the apartment buildings and feature the use of stucco, brick, and tube steel. The two monument signs, which are double sided, will feature copy that reads "Folsom Ranch Apartments" as well as the project address. The two monument signs will be indirectly illuminated by two inset-up spotlights.
The two decorative walls signs, which are 20 square feet in size and will be indirectly illuminated by two inset-up spotlights, feature copy that reads "Folsom Ranch Apartments". Staff has determined that the design of the proposed monument and wall signs are complementary to the design of the proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments.
The Folsom Municipal Code (FMC, Section. 17.50.040 D) states that monument identiflcation signs are an acceptable form of identification for multi-family residential projects. The Folsom Municipal Code states that multi-family residential projects are permitted one freestanding sign that is a maximum of six-feet-tall with a maximum sign area of 32 square feet. The Folsom Municipal Code also states that multi-family residential projects are permitted one wall-mounted sign with a maximum sign area of 40 square feet.
Through the Planned Development Permit process, the applicant is seeking approval for two monument signs and two walls signs to provide identification forthe proposed project.
Staff has determined that two monument signs and two wall signs are appropriate given that the project has two unique driveway entrances with a significant degree of physical separation, and also based on the large physical scale of the apartment community. Staff recommends that the owner/applicant obtain a sign permit prior to installation of the two monument signs and two wall signs. Condition No. 43 is included to reflect this requirement.
D. DevelopmentAgreement Amendment
The City and Landowner's predecessor (Eagle Commercial Partners, LLC) previously entered into the First Amended and Restated Tier 1 Development Agreement By and Between the City of Folsom and Landowner Relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan on July 15, 2014. Section 1.5 of the Restated Development Agreement allows the Restated Development Agreement to be amended from time to time by mutual written consent of the parties. On lf.lovember 12,2015[SD3], Eagle Commercial Partners, LLC, and the City entered into Amendment No. 1 to First Amended and Restated Tier 1
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
Development Agreement Relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan. The Landowner is proposing Amendment No. 2 to the First Amended and Restated Development Agreement by and between the City of Folsom and Eagle Commercial Partners, LLC relative to the Folsom South Specific Plan forthe purpose of deed restricting 64 affordable housing units on a portion of the Remainder within Parcel 61 located within in the Folsom Plan Area. This property is also owned by Eagle Office Properties.
As described above, the Landowner is proposing to deed restrict 64 multi-family housing units on a portion of the Remainder wiihin Parcel 61, located within in lhe Folsom Plan Area, for the purpose of assisting the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) assigned by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The 64 multi-family housing units, which would be made available to low- , very-low, and/or extremely-low income households, will be deed restricted for a period of 55 years from the date of recording. The deed restriction must be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the Folsom Ranch Apartments Project. ln the event that Landowner (or a successor in interest) proposes residential development on Parcel 61 in the future, any applicable requirement for inclusionary and/or affordable housing will be offset by 64 units.
There is no inclusionary or affordable housing requirement applicable to the proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project. ln the unlikely event that the City passes an inclusionary housing ordinance applicable to rental units, the proposed project would be subject to it, unless a complete application for a building permit is submitted before the new ordinance takes effect.
Staff recommends that the form of deed restriction be submitted with owner/applicant's application for a building permit and will be subject to the City Attorney's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Condition No. 7 is included to reflect this requirement.
City staff is supportive of the Development Agreement Amendment as described above.
The Planning Commission will be making a recommendation regarding the Development Agreement Amendment to the City Council as Development Agreements require City Council review and approval.
E. Traffic/Access/Girculation
The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan established a series of plans and policies for the circulation system within the entire Plan Area. The FPASP circulation system was designed with a sustainable community focus on the movement of people and provides a number of mobility alternatives such as walking, cycling, carpooling, and viable forms of public transportation in addition to vehicular circulation. The circulation plan evaluated regional travel, both in terms of connectivity and capacity as well as local internal connections and access. The circulation plan also addressed the concerns of regional traffic, including parallel capacity to U.S. Highway 50, and connectivity with surrounding

jurisdictions while considering community-wide connectivity, alternative modes of travel, and the provision of complete streets.
The 2011 Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Environmental lmpact ReporUEnvironmental lmpact Statement included not only a detailed analysis of traffic-related impacts within the Plan Area, but also an evaluation of traffic-related impacts on the surrounding communities. ln total, there are fifty-five (55) traffic-related mitigation measures associated with development of the FPASP which are included as conditions of approval for the Folsom Ranch Apartments project. Many of these mitigation measures are expected to reduce traffic impacts to East Bidwell Street. lncluded among the mitigation measures are requirements to; fund and construct roadway improvements within the Plan Area, pay a fair-share contribution for construction of improvements north of U.S.

The Folsom Ranch Apartments project is subject to all traffic-related mitigation measures required by the 2011 FPASP EIR/EIS (Condition No. 46).
On May 5,2015, Fehr & Peers completed a Traffic lmpact Analysis for the Westland- Eagle Specific Plan Amendment project (an Addendum to the FPASP EIR/EIS was certified in association with the Westland-Eagle Specific Plan Amendment) and determined that the traffic impacts associated with that project had been adequately addressed in the 2011 Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan EIR/EIS with inclusion of some minor adjustments.
On December 1, 2017, T.KEAR Transportation Planning & Management completed a Transportation lmpact Study (Study) for the Mangini Ranch Phase 2 Subdivision project to ensure that no additional impacts would occur that were not previously identified and addressed by the 2011 FPASP ElRyElS and the 2015 Westland-Eagle Specific Plan Addendum to the FPASP EIR/EIS. The Study determined that, with planned street and intersection improvements, the Mangini Ranch Phase 2 Subdivision project would not create any new significant impacts when compared to the FPASP EIR/EIS and the Westland-Eagle Specific Plan Amendment Addendum.
On April 23,2021, DKS Associates completed a Transportation Analysis (Analysis) and CEQA lmpact Study to evaluate traffic, access, and circulation impacts associated with the 530,000-square-foot Folsom Ranch Medical Center p@ect. Six different scenarios were evaluated in reviewing traffic operations at the 19 study intersections including Existing Conditions (2021) and the five different development phases of the proposed project. To ensure safe and efficient traffic operations, the Analysis required certain roadway improvements be constructed with each phase of the project including but not limited to construction of McCarthy Way between Alder Creek Parkway and Placerville Road, construction of an additional 250-foot right-turn lane for southbound McCarthy Way approaching Alder Creek Parkway, construction of a full extension of the right-turn pocket on westbound Alder Creek Parkway from McCarthy Way to East Bidwell Street, and construction of a southbound emergency vehicle-only left-turn movement into the East

Bidwell Street access point. All of the roadway improvements referenced above are currently under construction.
The Analysis prepared for the Folsom Ranch Medical Center project also considered three different access scenarios. The first access scenario, which is the access alternative suggested by Dignity Health, was to signalize the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and McCarthy Way at some point in the future. The second access scenario considered was to install a round-a-bout at the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and McCarthy Way at some point in the future. The third scenario, which is the City's preferred alternative, is to eliminate the existing eastbound left-turn pocket on Alder Creek Parkway at McCarthy Way at some point in the future when traffic conditions become unsafe or excessive delays occur, thereby directing vehicles headed to the Folsom Ranch Medical Center to use the future signalized intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive.
Existinq Roadway Network
The project site is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive. Significant roadways in the project vicinity include U.S.
Highway 50, East Bidwell Street, Alder Creek Parkway, and Westwood Drive. U.S.
Highway 50 is a six-lane east-west highway with a 65-mph posted speed limit that passes through Folsom and connects the Sacramento region to Lake Tahoe and points beyond.
East Bidwell Street is a north-south roadway that runs from Riley street southward to White Rock Road. Alder Creek Parkway currently exists from East Bidwell Street to Placerville Road and beyond into the Russell Ranch Subdivision to the east. Westwood Drive runs from Mangini Parkway northward to Alder Creek Parkway, with an extension further north to Placerville currently under construction.
On December 13, 2022, Kimley Horn & Associates completed a Transportation lmpact Study (included as Attachment 19 to this staff report) that evaluated traffic, access, and circulation impacts associated with the proposed project. The Study relies, in part, on data and analysis contained in the transportation impact studies prepared for the Mangini Ranch Phase 2 Subdivision project and the Folsom Ranch Medical Center project. As directed by City staff, the Study prepared for the proposed project reflects the City's preferred alternative scenario taken from the Folsom Ranch Medical Center Transportation lmpact Study. As mentioned previously, the City's preferred scenario includes the closure of the existing eastbound left turn lane on Alder Creek Parkway and McCarthy in the future and rerouting vehicles going to the Medical Center east to the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive, where dual left turn lanes will take vehicles north to Mercy Drive which connects direct to McCarthy Way to the west where the Medical Center will be located. The Study analyzed traffic operations at the following 7 study intersections in the vicinity of the project site:
r Alder Creek Parkway/McCarthy Way
o Alder Creek ParkwayA/Uestwood Drive
o Westwood Drive/Prolect Site Access Driveway (South)

o Westwood Drive/Mercy Drive
. Westwood Drive/Project Site Access Driveway (North)
. Westwood Drive/Placerville Road
. McCarthy Way/Mercy Drive
Two different scenarios were evaluated in reviewing traffic operations at the 7 aforementioned study intersections including Near Term (2023) Plus Project and Build- Out (20a0) Plus Project. The proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project is expected to generate a total of 1 13 vehicletrips during the weekday AM peak hour (35 inbound and 78 outbound) and 133 during the weekday PM peak hour trips (76 inbound and 57 outbound). Overall, the proposed project is projected to generate approximately 1,686 daily vehicle trips. Based on the expected number of project-related vehicle trips, the Study concluded that the proposed project would not have a significant impact on vehicle level of service (LOS) at any of the study intersections under Near Term (2023) Plus Project and Build-Out (2040) Plus Project conditions. ln addition, the Study determined that the proposed project would not result in any new traffic-related impacts that were not previously identified and addressed by traffic studies and environmental documents associated with the 2011 Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, the 2015 Westland/Eagle Specific Plan Amendment, the 2017 Mangini Ranch Phase 2 Subdivision, and the2021 Folsom Ranch Medical Center project.
The Transportation lmpact Study evaluated the need for traffic signalization of the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive based on peak-hour warrant methodologies noted in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The Study determined that the addition of the project-related vehicle trips does not trigger the needforthe signalization of the intersection of AlderCreek Parkway and Westwood Drive.
It is important to note that this particular intersection is anticipated to be signalized in the future under Building-Out (2040) conditions.
The Transportation lmpact Study evaluated the existing left turn movement on eastbound Alder Creek Parkway at Westwood Drive. The Study determined that the existing eastbound left-turn lane has sufficient vehicle storage capacity to accommodate the proposed project-related vehicle trips under Near-Term (2023) conditions. However, the Study noted that there will be the need for dual left-turns lanes on eastbound Alder Creek Parkway at Westwood Drive under Build-Out (2040) conditions when vehicle trips are rerouted from the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and McCarthy Way eastward to the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive. While the proposed project does not trigger any modifications to this intersection, the applicant has agreed to proactively construct specific improvements in anticipation of ultimate build-out conditions (2040) including relocating and restriping the existing left-turn lane, creating a future BRT lane, and modifying the existing median. Figure 10 on the following page shows the proposed design and configuration for the eastbound left-turn movement at the intersection of Alder Creek Parkway and Westwood Drive.

84 The Transportation lmpact Study evaluated the need for a right-turn deceleration lane on westbound Alder Creek Parkway at McCarthy Way. The Study determined that under Build-Out (2040) conditions, approximately 1,100 vehicles would be traveling westbound on Alder Creek Parkway at McCarthy Way during the AM Peak Hour, with 22O of those vehicles making a right-turn movement from Alder Creek Parkway to McCarthy Way.
Based on the volume split of these vehicle trips, and the fact that the overall volume of vehicle trips is well below the industry-accepted saturation flowrate, the Study determined that the No. 3 westbound through-lane on Alder Creek Parkway would act as a de facto right-turn lane and would not result in a delay causing the need for construction of dedicated right-turn lane at McCarthy Way. While the proposed project does not trigger the need for tne No. 3 westbound lane on Alder Creek Parkway between Westwood Drive and McCarthy Way or the installation of a right-turn deceleration lane on westbound Alder Creek Parkway at McCarthy Way (ultimate build-out volumes and conditions require this roadway improvement to be constructed), the applicant has agreed to proactively construtt these improvements so that this section of roadway is built to its ultimate configuration.

F. Parking
As noted in the Prolect Description, the proposed project includes a total of 238 apartment units including 104 two-bedroom units and 134 three-bedroom units. The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Table A.14) requires that apartment developments located within a Multi-Family Medium Density (MMD) designated area, which is the standard utilized for the project even though it is situated in General Commercial designated area, provide two parking spaces for each two or three-bedroom unit, and
0.5 guest parking spaces for each apartment unit. As shown and described on the submitted site plan, the proposed project includes a total of 595 parking spaces including 476 covered garage parking spaces and 121 uncovered parking spaces.
As described previously within the Planned Development Permit portion of this staff report, the applicant is proposing that the standard for covered parking (two covered parking spaces required for each unit) be modified with one covered and one uncovered parking space being required for the two-bedroom units (104 units), and two covered parking spaces being required for the three-bedroom units. Staff supports the change to
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
the covered parking requirement as it will allow additional tree plantings on the project site. Staff has determined that the proposed project meets the parking requirements prescribed by the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan by providing 595 parking spaces whereas a minimum of 595 parking spaces are required.
The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Table A.14) requires that apartment developments located within a Multi-Family Medium Density (MMD) designated area provide one bicycle parking space for each apartment unit that does not have a garage. ln this case, each of ine apirtments has one or two covered garage parking spaces in which to store bicycles.
Staff has determined that the proposed project meets the bicycle parking requirements dictated by the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan by providing opportunities for bicycle parking wiinin the garage spaces for each unit. However, staff does recommend that 20 bicycte parking spaces be provided at the communi$ clubhouse building (inside or ouiside) to serve residents of the community. Condition No. 38 is included to reflect this requirement.
G. Noise lmpacts
Based on the proximity of the prolect site to U.S. Highway 50, Alder Creek Parkway, Westwood Drive, and Placerville Road, acoustical measurements and modeling were prepared by Veneklasen Associates on August 16, 2022 to analyze potential noise impacts atthe proposed Folsom Ranch Apartments project site. The purpose of the Noise Analysis was to quantiff existing noise levels associated with traffic on the aforementioned roadways and to compare those noise levels against the applicable City of FolSom noise standards for acceptable noise exposure at the project site. ln addition, noise generated by the proposed pQect including construction activities, on-site parkingTcirculation, and mechanical equipment noise, was also evaluated in the Noise Analysis.
Two aspects of noise impacts were evaluated relative to the proposed apartment community, noise directed at the proposed project, and noise caused by the proposed project. As noted previously, the predominant existing noise sources in the project vicinity thai cause an impact to the project site are from vehicles traveling on U.S. Highway 50, Alder Creek Parkway, Westwood Drive, and Placerville Road, as well as background noises from adjacent nearby residential land uses. Potential noise impacts that might result from development of the Folsom Ranch Apartments project are construction- related activities and operationalactivities. Construction-related noise would have a short- term effect, while operational noise would continue throughout the lifetime of the project.
The Noise Element of the City of Folsom General Plan regulates noise emissions from public roadway traffic on new development of residential or other noise sensitive land uses. The Noise Element states that noise from traffic on public roadways shall not exceed 65 CNEL for outdoor use areas and 45 CNEL for interior use areas. The Noise Analysis determined that exterior noise levels at the outdoor use areas on the project site were less than 65 CNEL, which complies with the City's 65 CNEL outdoor use area noise
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
standard. The Noise Analysis also determined that the interior noise levels on the project site would be less than 45 CNEL, which complies with the City's 45 CNEL interior noise level standard. However, to further ensure the interior noise level standard would be satisfied, the Noise Analysis recommended that air conditioning be provided to allow residents to close windows and doors for appropriate acoustical isolation. ln addition, the Noise Analysis recommended that windows and glass doors within specific apartment buildings along Alder Creek Parkway, McCarthy Way, and Placerville Road (Figure 2 of Noise Analysis) have a minimum rating of STC 28 to maintain a consistent level of acoustical quality. Condition No. 40 is included to reflect these requirements.
Construction of the Folsom Ranch Apartments project would temporarily increase noise levels in the project vicinity during the construction period, which would take approximately 16 to 23 months. Construction activities, including site clearing, excavation, grading, building construction, and paving, would be considered an intermittent noise impact throughout the construction period of the project. The City's Noise Ordinance excludes construction activities from meeting the General Plan Noise Element standards, provided that all phases of construction are limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. To ensure compliance with the City's Noise Control Ordinance and General Plan Noise Element, staff recommends that hours of construction operation be limited from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays with no construction permitted on Sundays or holidays. ln addition, staff recommends that construction equipment be muffled and shrouded to minimize noise levels. Condition No. 39 is included to reflect these requirements.
Operational noises generated by the proposed project include sounds associated with new vehicle trips, vehicle parking, and mechanical equipment associated with the apartment community. Persons and activities potentially sensitive to noise in the prolect vicinity include residents in the Enclave Subdivision (approximately 100 feet) across Alder Creek Parkway to the south and future residents within the Mangini Ranch Phase 2 Subdivision (approximately 100 feet) across Westwood Drive to the east. Based on residential nature of the proposed project and the fact that the project site will be surrounded by residential and medical office development in the future, staff has determined that potential noise impacts relative to these operational noise sources will not be significant.
H. Walls/Fencing
As shown on the preliminary walland fence exhibit (Attachment 11), the proposed project includes a combination of retaining walls, perimeter walls, stucco walls, open-view steel fencing, and privacy vinylfencing. Split-face CMU retaining walls that range from 1-3 feet in height are proposed at various interior locations throughout the project site and also around portions of the perimeter. A six-foot-tall decorative split-face wall with pilasters is proposed around the entire perimeter of the project site. 'Six-foot-tall decorate stucco walls are proposed in specific areas around the clubhouse building. Open-view steel

Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
fencing is proposed around portion of the clubhouse building and also to secure the dog parf and an outdoor amenity area. Lastly, six-foot-tall vinyl fencing is proposed as privacy iencing to separate the individual backyard areas. Staff recommends that the final locatio-n, design, height, materials, and colors of the retaining walls, perimeter walls, stucco walls, bpen-view fencing, and privacy fencing be subject to review and approval by the Community Development Department. Condition No. 16 is included to reflect this requirement.
l. Site Lighting
As shown on the preliminary lighting plan (Attachment 11), the applicant is proposing to use a combination of pole-mounted parking lot lighting, building-attached lighting, and bollard lights along the walkways on the project site. All lighting would be designed to minimize-lighUglare impacts to the adjacent properties by ensuring that allexterior lighting is shieldedlnd Oirected downward. Staff recommends that the final exterior building and site lighting plans be submitted for review and approval by Community Development Oepailmenl ior location, height, aesthetics, level of illumination, glare, and trespass prior to the issuance of any building permits. ln addition, staff recommends all lighting is designed to be shielded and directed downward onto the project site and away from adjaient properties and public rights-of-way. Condition No. 20 is included to reflect these requirements.
J. TrashlRecycling
The proposed project includes two trash/recycling enclosures that are centrally located on the project si[e. As part of their valet service, the Folsom Ranch Apartments maintenanie staff will be responsible for collecting trash and recycling from outside the door of each individual apartment unit on a nightly basis and transporting it to the designated trash/recycling enclosures. Staff recommends that the final location, design, rat&ials, and colors of the trash/recycling enclosures be subject to review and approval by the Community Development Department. Condition No. 42 is included to reflectthese requirements.
K. Existing and Proposed Landscaping
The rectangular shaped 15.8-acre project site, which has previously been mass graded, contains non-native grasses. There are no trees or other significant vegetation are present on the project site. The proposed project will include landscaping along the project's four street frontages and also landscaping interior to the project site. A landscape buffer (includes sidewalk) is proposed along each street frontage including an 18-foot-wide buffer along Alder Creek Parkway, Westwood Drive, Placerville Road, and McCarthy Way.
03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
As shown on the landscape plans (Attachment 9), the applicant is proposing to install landscaping that features California-native and low water-use trees, shrubs, and groundcover selections intended to comply with the requirements of the Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). Proposed landscape improvements include a variety of drought-tolerant trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Among the proposed trees are; Bird of Paradise, Black Oak, California Bay, California Sycamore, Chinese Fringe, Coast Live Oak, Crape Myrtle, Cypress, Desert Willow, Evergreen Elm, and Glory Maple.
Proposed shrubs and groundcover include; Berkeley Sedge, Cape Rush, Caroline Cherry, Deer Grass, Dwarf Bottlebrush, Fortnight Lily, Japanese Barberry,Japanese Boxwood, Purple Delight, Silver Streak Flax Lily, Stoke Holly, and White Shrub Rose.
The preliminary landscape plan meets the City shade requirement (4Oo/o) by providing 55% shade in the parking lot area within fifteen (15) years. lt should be noted that the project fails to comply with city standards for minimum planter width requirements for several of the trees proposed within the interior site design, resulting in dubious long-term success of the trees proposed therein. ln order to balance space constraints with the realistic needs of trees to reasonably be expected to grow successfully to maturity, staff recommends the applicant retain a project arborist versed in urban land development through the duration of the project and that the final landscape plans be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department. Condition Nos. 32-34 are included to reflect these requirements.
L. Frontage lmprovements
Existing improvements to Alder Creek Parkway (adjacent to project site) include undergnound utilities, three travel lanes, bicycle lanes, and a raised median for landscaping. lmprovements to Westwood Drive, McCarthy Way, and Mercy Drive are currently under construction as part of the Folsom Ranch Medical Center project. lmprovements to Westwood Drive include underground utilities, four travel lanes, bicycle lanes, streetlights, curbs, and gutters. lmprovements to Mercy Drive include underground utilities, three travel lanes, a landscape median, streetlights bicycle lanes, curbs, and gutters. lmprovements to McCarthy Way include underground utilities, two travel lanes, i landscape median, streetlights, bicycle lanes, curbs, and gutters. The owner/applicant will be required to install sidewalks, landscaping, retaining walls, and site fencing along the street frontages of Alder Creek Parkway, Westwood Drive, McCarthy Way, Mercy Drive, and Placerville Road. With respect to Placerville Road, the owner/applicant will also be required to construct the entire intersection of Placerville Road and McCarthy Way and the western half of the roadway between McCarthy Way and Westwood Drive.
The recommended conditions of approval require the applicant to submit detailed plans for all sidewalks, landscaping, streetlights, retaining walls, and site fencing prior to construction to ensure compliance with City standards (Condition No. 18).

As mentioned previously, the proposed project includes a request for approval of a Minor Administrative Modificaiion to transfer development rights among one of the subject parcels and other multi-use parcels located in the Folsom Plan Area. The FPASP permits ilexibility in transferring residential unit allocations to reflect changing market demand.
The FpASP states that-"the City shallapprove residentialdwelling unit allocation transfers or density adjustments between any Plan Area resident land parcel or parcels, provided the following conditions are met":
o The transferor and transferee parcel or parcels are located in the Plan Area and are designated for residential use.
o The transferor and transferee parcel or parcels conform to all applicable development standards contained in Appendix A - Development Standards. . The transfer of units does not result in increased impacts beyond those identified iN thc FPASP EIR/EIS
o The transfer of units does not adversely impact planned infrastructure, roadways, schools, or other public facilities; affordable housing agreements; or fee programs and assessment districts; unless such impacts are reduced to an acceptable level through project-specific mitigation measures.

Based on staffs review, the proposed reallocation of 221 MHD residential units from the project site to another parcel within the Folsom Plan Area and the reallocation of 116 MMD residential units from Parcel6l within the Folsom Plan Area to the project site, meet all of the required criteria mentioned above.
The project site was included in the Housing Element's Residential Sites lnventory as a vacant Lower lncome Site and was assigned an allocation of 221 lower income units (MHD). This MAM will not change that, except to move the designated units from the subject property to Parcel 61. To help ensure that construction of lower income units is realized, the development agreement amendment discussed above documents Landowner's commitment to provide 64 deed restricted lower income units within Parcel
61. The City has no explicit authority to require the applicant, or any developer, to construct affordable housing, so Landowner's agreement to voluntarily deed restrict 64 units is an important component of this project and supports the City's recommendation for approval. Accordingly, the City does not object to transferring the 221 MHD units from the subject property to Parcel 61 via the requested MAM, or transferring 166 MMD units from Parcel 61 to this site.
The Minor Administrative Modification also includes a proposal to move 3.3-acres of parkland (PARK) from the project site to Parcel 61 within the Folsom Plan Area. The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan created a placeholder for the development of a 3.3-acre local park (LP-3) near the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Alder Creek Parkway.
The Specific Plan also created a placeholder for the development of a 5.6-acre neighborhood park (NP-6) on Parcel 61 near the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Alder Creek Parkway. The Minor Administrative Modification would result in the 3.3-acres of local park area being combined with the 5.6-acres of neighborhood park area to create a larger 8.9-acre neighborhood park (NP-6) within Parcel 61 (See FPASP Section 4 Land Use for more detail regarding park allocation to Parcels 85A, 61 ,77, and 78.). Per the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, the final size of this neighborhood park will be determined by the total number of residential units in Parcel 61 & Parcel 85A. The Parks and Recreation Department reviewed the proposed modification to the park site and determined that a larger neighborhood park within Parcel 61 would be more beneficial to the City and its residents than two smaller parks from a planning, programming, and mai nte nance perspective.
As a result, staff is able to approve the proposed Minor Administrative Modifications for the transfer of development rights and the transfer of parkland as proposed by the applicant.

N. Conformance with Relevant General Plan and Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Goals and Policies
The recently approved City of Folsom 2035 General Plan outlines a number of goals, policies, and implementation programs designed to guide the physical, economic, and environmentalgrowth of the City. ln addition, the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan includes goals and policies intended to ensure successful development within the Folsom Plan Area. Staff has determined that the proposed project is consistent with both the General plan and Specific Plan goals and policies. The following is a summary analysis of the project's consistency with the Folsom General Plan and with key policies of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan.
Retain and enhance Folsom's quality of life, unique identity, and sense of communitY while continuing to grow and change.

connectivity of the neighborhood in which it occurs. Physical design should respond to the scale and features of the surrounding community, while improving critical elements such as transparency and permeability.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project teatrres significant site and design improvements which will enhance the overall character of the area including introducing new upscale apartment units with a contemporary Spanish Colonial residential design intended to compliment the design of approved residential and commercial developments in the vicinity.
GP POL cY LU 1.1.15 ( Blueorint P )
Strive to adhere to the Sacramento Reg ional Blueprint Growth Principles.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project has Oeen Oesigned to adhere to the primary SACOG Blueprint Principles including Compact Development, Housing Choice and Diversity, Use of Existing Assets, and euatity Design. Compact Development involves creating environments that are more iompa-tly Ouitt and use space in an efficient but attractive manner and helps to encourage more walking, biking, and transit use and shorter auto trips. Housing Choice and Diversity includes providing a variety of places where people can live (apartments, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes) and also creating opportunities for the variety of people who need them such as families, singles, seniors, and people with special needs. Use of Existing Assets entails inteniification of the existing use or redevelopment in order to make better use of existing public infrastructure, including roads. Quality Design focuses on the design details of any land development (such as relationship to the street,

GP POLI cY H 2.7
The City shall educate the community on the needs, the realities, and the benefits of affordable and higher-density housing.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project will resgtt in development of a 238-unit multi-family medium density apartment community with a residential densi$ of 15 units per acre.
GP GOAL M 4.1 (Vehicle Traffic and Parkinq)
ffiicientnetworkofstreetsforcarandtrucks,aswellasprovidean adequate supply of vehicle parking.
GP POLICY M 4.1.3 (Level of Service)
Stlr/e to acftieve a least traffic Level of Service "D" (or better) for local streets and roadways throughout the City. ln designing transportation improvements, the City will prioritize use of smart technologies and innovative solutions that maximize efficiencies and safety while minimizing the physical footprint. During the course of Plan buildout, it may occur that temporarily higher Levels of Service result where roadway improvements have not been adequately phased as development proceeds. However, this situation will be minimized based on annual traffic studies and monitoring programs. Staff will report to the City Council at regular intervals via the Capital improvement Program process for the Council to prioritize project integralto achieving Level of Service D or better.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project will not result in a change in the level of service (LOS) at any of the seven study intersections. ln addition, the proposed project, while not technically subject to the VMT req u irement as d iscussed earlier with in the Traffic/Access/Circu lation Section of this staff report, will result in a negligible change in VMT when compared to the existing FPASP.
GP GOAL 4.2 (Vehicle Traffic a d Parkino)
Provide and manage a balanced approach to parking that meets economic development and sustainability goals.
GP POLICY M 4.2.4 (Electric Vehicle Charqinq Stations)
Encourage the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in parking spaces throughout the city, prioritizing installations at multi-family residential units.

Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project inCtuOes electric vehicle charging infrastructure in each of the 476 covered garage parking spaces and 36 open parking spaces with be wired to be electric vehicle capable for future charging stations. The number of proposed electric vehicle charging station is consistent with the California Green Buildings Standards Code's provisions for multi-family residential development.
GP GOAL LU 6.1 (Residential Neiqhborhoods)
nttow for a varienr of housing types and mix of uses that provide choices for Folsom residents, create complete and livable neighborhoods, and encourage walking and biking.
GP POLICY LU 6.1.3 (Efficiency through Density)
Support an overall increase in average residential densities in identified urban centers and mixed-use districts. Encourage new housing types to shift from lower-density, large- lot developments to higher-density, small-lot, and multifamily developments, as a means to increase energy efficiency, conserve water, reduce waste, as well as increase access to services and amenities (e.g., open space) through an emphasis of mixed uses in these h ig her-density developments.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project is prcvtdng an upscale multi-family residential project developed at a residential density of 15 units per acre. According to the applicant, upscale apartments are considered an underserved segment of the rental housing market in Folsom today based on their market research. The proposed prolect design also incorporates sustainable features (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and rooftop solar panel systems) that are consistent with California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). The applicant is also proposing to use cool pavement features at the vehicle entrances on the project site. ln addition, the applicant is also considering participating in the SMUD Neighborhood Solar Shares program.
Conformance with Relevant Specific Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan identifies a number of goals, objectives, and policies designed to guide the physical, economic, and environmental growth of the Specific Plan Area. Staff has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the Specific Plan goals, objectives, and policies as outlined and discussed below:

03/14/2023 Item No.14.
Planning Commission
Folsom Ranch Apartments (MSTR 22-00218)
February 15,2023
GP SP POLICY H-'l 1
The City shall ensure that sufficient land is designated and zoned in a range of residential densities to accommodate the city's regional share of housing.
Analysis: The City provides residential lands at a variety of residential densities as specitied in thedeneral Plan and in the Folsom Municipal Code. The Folsom plan Area Specific Plan includes specialized zoning (Specific Plan Designations) that are cusiomized to the Plan Area as adopted in 2011 and as Amended over time. The FPASP provides residential lands at densities ranging from 1-4 dwelling unit per acre (SF), 4-7 dwelling units per acre (SFHD), 7-12 dwelling units per acre (MLb), 12-20 dwelling units per acre (MMD), 20-30 dwelling units per acre (MHD), and 9-30 dwelling units per acre (MU). As stated previously, the Folsom Ranch Apartments project will be developed at 15-units per acre, which is within the allowed density range for the MMD designation.
SP POLICY 4.1
Create peOestrian-oriented neighborhoods through the use of a grid system of streets where feasible, sidewalks, bike paths and trails. Residential neighborhoods shall be linked, where appropriate, to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel.
Analvsis: The Folsom Ranch Apartments project proposes a multi-family apartrnent community with an interconnected system of local streets provided with pedestrian walkways and sidewalks. Sidewalks will be provided along all street irontages with muliiple pedestrian connections provided between the project site and the adjacent sidewalks. Bicycle circulation is provided by Class ll bicycle lanes with connectivi$ to nearby neighborhoods, parks, schools, and open space trails that have Class I bicYcle trails.
SP POLICY 4.6
As established by the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, the total number of dwelling units for the Plan Areashall not exceed 11,461. The number of units within individual land use parcels may vary, so long as the number of units falls within the allowable densi$ range for a particular land use designation.
Analvsis: There have been a number of Specific Plan Amendments approved by tne CitV Council within the Folsom Plan Area, which has generally led to an increase in residentially zoned land and a decrease in commercially zoned land.
As a result, the number of residential units within the Plan Area increased from 10,210 to 11,461. The various Specific Plan Amendment ElRs and Addendums analyzed impacts from the conversion of the commercial lands to residential lands; impacts and associated mitigations measures can be found in the individual project-specific environmental documents. While the proposed project will result in a decrease in the number of dwelling units that were anticipated to be constructed on the project site (decrease from 343 to 238 dwelling units), this is offset by the reallocation of dwelling units with Parcel 61 within the Folsom Plan

Area as described in the Minor Administrative Modification section of this staff report. The reallocation of units among these parcels will not exceed the allowable density for the parcels. ln addition, the proposed project does not result in any change in total dwelling units (1 1,461 dwelling units) in the FPASP.
SP OBJECTIVE 7.1 (Circulation)
ffirniaCompleteStreetsActof2008andtheSustainable
Communities and Climate Protection Act (SB 375), create a safe and efficient circulation system for all modes of travel.
SP POLICY 7.1
The roadway network in the Plan Area shall be organized in a grid-like pattern of streets and blocks, except where topography and natural features make it infeasible, for the majorig of the Plan Area in order to create neighborhoods that encourage walking, biking, public transit, and other alternative modes of transportation' Analvsis: Consistent with the requirements of the California Complete Streets Act, *" pp45e identifled and planned for hierarchy of connect "complete streets" to ensure that pedestrian, bike, bus, and automobile modes are travel are designed to have direct and continuous connections throughout the Plan Area. Every option, from regional connector roadways to arterial and local streets, has been carefully planned and designed. Recent California legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (AB 32 and SB 375) has resulted in an increased market demand for public transit and housing located closer to service needs and employment centers. ln response to these changes, the FPASP includes a regional transit corridor that will provide public transportation links between the major commercial, public, and multi-family residential land uses in the Plan Area.
The Folsom Ranch Apartments project has been designed with multiple modes of transportation options (vehicles, bicycle, walking, access to transit) and internal drive aisles organized in a pattern consistentwith the approved FPASP circulation Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that residential projects which are consistent with an approved Specific Plan for which an EIR was prepared are exempt from a requirement to prepare additional environmental analysis. CEQA Guidelines section 15182(c) provides specific criteria to determine whether this exemption applies:
