4. Construction/demolition activities are subject to District Rule 345, Control of Fugitive Dust from Construction and Demolition Activities. This rule establishes limits on the generation of visible fugitive dust emissions at demolition and construction sites, includes measures for minimizing fugitive dust from on-site activities, and from trucks moving on- and off-site. Please see www.ourair.org/wp-content/uploads/rule345.pdf. Activities subject to Rule 345 are also subject to Rule 302 (Visible Emissions) and Rule 303 (Nuisance).

5. Natural gas-fired fan-type central furnaces with a rated heat input capacity of less than 175,000 British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr) and water heaters rated below 75,000 Btu/hr must comply with the emission limits and certification requirements of District Rule 352. Please see www.ourair.org/wp-content/uploads/rule352.pdf for more information.

In addition, the District recommends that the following best practices be considered for inclusion as conditions of approval, in the interest of reducing emissions of criteria air pollutants, toxic air contaminants, greenhouse gases, dust and odors:

6. To reduce the potential for violations of District Rule 345 (Control of Fugitive Dust from Construction and Demolition Activities), Rule 302 (Visible Emissions), and Rule 303 (Nuisance), standard dust mitigations (Attachment A) are recommended for all construction and/or grading activities. The name and telephone number of an on-site contact person must be provided to the District prior to grading/building permit issuance.

7. The State of California considers particulate matter emitted by diesel engines carcinogenic.

Therefore, during project grading, construction, and hauling, construction contracts must specify that contractors shall adhere to the requirements listed in Attachment B to reduce emissions of particulate matter (as well as of ozone precursors) from diesel equipment. Recommended measures should be implemented to the maximum extent feasible. Prior to grading/building permit issuance and/or map recordation, all requirements shall be shown as conditions of approval on grading/building plans, and/or on a separate sheet to be recorded with the map.

Conditions shall be adhered to throughout all grading and construction periods. The contractor shall retain the Certificate of Compliance for CARB’s In-Use Regulation for Off-Road Diesel Vehicles onsite and have it available for inspection.

8. Advisory: The applicant should determine whether any structure(s) proposed for demolition contains asbestos that is friable or has the potential to become friable during demolition or disposal. If any structure does contain friable asbestos, the asbestos should be removed by a contractor that is state certified for asbestos removal. For more information on asbestos in construction, please see www.ourair.org/asbestos.

9. At a minimum, prior to occupancy, any feasible greenhouse gas reduction measures from the following sector-based list should be applied to the project:
• Energy use (energy efficiency, renewable energy)
• Water conservation (improved practices and equipment, landscaping) • Waste reduction (material re-use/recycling, composting, waste diversion/minimization) • Architectural features (green building practices, cool roofs) • Transportation (reduce vehicle miles traveled, compact and transit-oriented development, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly communities
• Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EV charger installation, installation of pre-wiring for future EV chargers)

ATTACHMENT A

FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL MEASURES

Projects involving earthmoving activities are expected to manage fugitive dust emissions such that emissions do not exceed APCD’s visible emissions limit (APCD Rule 302), create a public nuisance (APCD Rule 303), and are in compliance with the APCD’s requirements and standards for visible dust (APCD Rule 345). The following measures should be implemented to reduce fugitive dust emissions and impacts.

• During construction, use water trucks, sprinkler systems, or dust suppressants in all areas of vehicle movement to prevent dust from leaving the site and from exceeding the APCD’s limit of 20% opacity for greater than 3 minutes in any 60-minute period. When using water, this includes wetting down areas as needed but at least once in the late morning and after work is completed for the day. Increased watering frequency should be required when sustained wind speed exceeds 15 mph. Reclaimed water should be used whenever possible. However, reclaimed water should not be used in or around crops for human consumption. • Onsite vehicle speeds shall be no greater than 15 miles per hour when traveling on unpaved surfaces. • Install and operate a track-out prevention device where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved streets.

The track-out prevention device can include any device or combination of devices that are effective at preventing track out of dirt such as gravel pads, pipe-grid track-out control devices, rumble strips, or wheel-washing systems. • If importation, exportation, and stockpiling of fill material is involved, soil stockpiled for more than one day shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. Trucks transporting fill material to and from the site shall be tarped from the point of origin. The amount of excavated material or waste materials stored at the site should be minimized.
• Minimize the amount of disturbed area. After clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation is completed, or if previously graded areas remain inactive for more than 10 calendar days, treat the disturbed area by watering, OR using roll-compaction, OR revegetating or hydroseeding, OR by applying non-toxic soil binders until the area is paved or otherwise developed so that dust generation will not occur. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks etc. proposed to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. • Schedule clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation activities during periods of low wind speed to the extent feasible. During periods of high winds (>25 mph) clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation operations shall be minimized to prevent fugitive dust created by onsite operations from becoming a nuisance or hazard. • The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor and document the dust control program requirements to ensure any fugitive dust emissions do not result in a nuisance and to enhance the implementation of the mitigation measures as necessary to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods when work may not be in progress.

All measures required by the Lead Agency shall be shown on grading and building plans and/or as a separate information sheet listing the conditions of approval to be recorded with the map prior to grading/building permit issuance
and/or map recordation. Conditions shall be adhered to throughout all grading and construction periods. The name and telephone number of a dust control contact shall be provided to the APCD prior to grading/building permit issuance and/or map clearance. The Lead Agency shall ensure measures are on project plans and/or recorded with maps. The Lead Agency staff shall ensure compliance onsite. APCD inspectors will respond to nuisance complaints. 363

CONSTRUCTION DIESEL PARTICULATE AND NOX EMISSION REDUCTION MEASURES

Particulate emissions from diesel exhaust are classified as carcinogenic by the state of California. The following is a list of regulatory requirements and control strategies that should be implemented to the maximum extent feasible.

The following measures are required by state law:
• Portable Engines: All portable diesel-powered construction equipment greater than 50 brake horsepower (bhp) shall be registered with the state’s portable equipment registration program (PERP)1 OR shall obtain an APCD permit. • Off-Road Equipment: Fleet owners of diesel-fueled mobile construction equipment greater than 25 hp are subject to the California Air Resource Board (CARB) In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation2. All off-road vehicles subject to this regulation must use renewable diesel fuel, with some limited exceptions. • Diesel Trucks: Fleet owners of on-road diesel-fueled heavy-duty trucks and buses are subject to CARB’s Heavy-Duty (Tractor-Trailer) Greenhouse Gas Regulation, Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP), the Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation, and the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation to reduce emissions from trucks and buses.3 • Idling: Drivers of diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles are subject to the Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Limit Diesel-Fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling.4 Idling restrictions for off-road equipment are set forth in CARB’s In- Use Off-road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation.

The following measures are recommended:
• At a minimum, off-road diesel equipment should be equipped with engines compliant with, or certified to meet or exceed, CARB Tier 4 emission standards. Where available, off-road construction equipment should be zero-emission.

Alternative/renewable fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), or propane should be utilized to the maximum extent feasible when zero-emission is not available. Electric auxiliary power units should be used. The Lead Agency should require commitments to Tier 4 and/or zero-emission equipment in applicable bid documents, purchase orders, and contracts; successful contractors should demonstrate the ability to supply the compliant construction equipment for use prior to any ground-disturbing and construction activities. • On-road heavy-duty equipment with model year 2014 or newer engines, or powered by zero- or near zero-emission technology, should be used whenever feasible.
• All portable generators should be powered by a source other than diesel or gasoline (i.e., battery, natural gas, propane, etc.)
• All construction equipment should be maintained in tune per the manufacturer’s specifications. • The number of construction equipment operating simultaneously should be minimized through efficient management practices to ensure that the smallest practical number is operating at any one time. • Proposed truck routes should minimize impacts to residential communities and sensitive receptors. • Construction staging areas should be located away from sensitive receptors such that exhaust and other construction emissions do not enter the fresh air intakes to buildings, air conditioners, and windows. Construction activity schedules and hours should be planned and adjusted as feasible to maximize distance from existing sensitive receptors and minimize exposure to air pollution.

Prior to grading/building permit issuance and/or map recordation, all measures required by the Lead Agency shall be shown as conditions of approval on grading/building plans, and/or on a separate sheet to be recorded with the map.

Conditions shall be adhered to throughout grading and construction periods. The contractor shall retain onsite the Certificate of Compliance for CARB’s In-Use Regulation for Off-Road Diesel Vehicles and have it available for inspection.

The Lead Agency shall ensure measures are on project plans and/or recorded with maps and ensure compliance onsite.

APCD inspectors will respond to nuisance complaints.

WHEREAS, in approximately 2016, the Project was put on hold due to the Stage II Water Shortage Emergency and water moratorium imposed by Goleta Water District; and

WHEREAS, in 2023, after the Goleta Water District lifted its water moratorium, the Applicant submitted an SB 330 preliminary application to revise the original project by reducing the number of residential units to 56 and designate 20% of the units as deed - restricted affordable (the revised original project, hereafter, the “Project”). The Applicant submitted the SB 330 preliminary application when the City did not have a certified Housing Element, which the applicant maintained made the Project subject to the Builder’s Remedy and the protections of the Housing Accountability Act (“HAA”); and

WHEREAS the Applicant’s use of an SB 330 preliminary application to amend and/or revise the pending development application from 2011 raised novel legal issues.

The disagreement resulted in a lawsuit by the Applicant against the City (Shelby Family Partnership LP v. City of Goleta , Case No. 24CV00548). On February 26, 2025, after briefing and hearing on most of the Applicant’s claims, the Santa Barbara Superior Court ruled in the Applicant’s favor. Among other things, the Court ordered the City to accept the SB 330 preliminary application and process the Project and found that the Project is subject to the Builder’s Remedy and the protections of the HAA. Following the Court’s decision, the City and the Applicant settled the litigation. Under the settlement agreement, the City agreed to, among other things, review and process a permit application for the Project; and

WHEREAS the Project is for a Vesting Tract Map to create 56 single family residential lots and 3 open space lots (landscaping and stormwater facilities) and a Development Plan to facilitate the construction of the 56 single family homes. Of the 56 single family homes, 11 will be deed -restricted affordable to households at specified income levels for a duration of 55 years. The affordable income-restricted units will be in the following categories: four residences at extremely low-income level, one residence at lower income level, three residences at moderate income level, and three residences at above-moderate income levels; and

WHEREAS, as a Builder’s Remedy Project, the Project has been evaluated for consistency with the regulations of the RS-7 zone district. Components of the proposed project that are inconsistent with the RS -7 zone, w ere evaluated for consistency with California Density Bonus law; and

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

This is a Builder’s Remedy project with one concession (SPA buffer reduction) and four waivers from development regulations (i.e., rear yard setback, second story setback, maximum floor area, and lot widths) . St ate law prohibits the City from requiring the project to apply for, or receive approval of, a general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, rezoning, or other legislative approval. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5 (f)(6)(D)(i). Additionally, as a Builder’s Remedy project, the applicant identif ied a lo cal zoning district that is used as a basis for design consistency. The applicant identified the RS -7 zoning district as the most analogous zone. Per Section 17.070.030, the maximum density in the RS zone districts is 5 dwellings/acre. The project has a d ensity of 3.89 dwellings/acre.

Therefore, the design of the project is consistent with the density allowed with the RS-7 zone district.

As set forth in the General Plan Consistency analysis (Exhibit B) and Zoning Consistency analysis (Exhibit C), incorporated herein by reference, this project, including the proposed subdivision meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the RS -7 district. Finally, as discussed in California Government Code section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii) any qualifying B uilder’s Remedy project “. . . shall be deemed consistent, compliant, and in conformity with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, redevelopment plan and implementing instruments, or other similar provision for all purposes, and shall not be considered or treated as a nonconforming lot, use, or structure for any purpose.”

C. The proposed development is located on a legally created lot.

The proposed development is located on a legally created lot. The June 17, 2025, Fidelity National Title Company’s Preliminary Title Report provides the following legal description:

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

The proposed project is a subdivision and single -family residential neighborhood located on a 14.38-acre site at 7400 Cathedral Oaks Road and will create its own neighborhood given its size, number of homes, and placement north of Cathedral Oaks. In the immediate area there are single family residential units located directly to the south of the site, there are multiple family units located to the west of the site and there are residential uses planned to occur on the Glen Annie Golf Course which is located to the north and east of the site. The development of the property with residential units at the proposed density of 3.89 units per acre is compatible with the neighborhood character directly south of project within the Crown Collection single family resi dential neighborhood. Further the size of the homes ranges from 1,723 square feet to 3,882 square feet and height of the one and two story proposed homes range between 17 feet and 9 inches to 23 feet and 10 inches which is in keeping with the height of the nearby developments, such as the Crown Collection located across the street. Further, the proposed footprints of the proposed homes are also similar to the footprints of the Crown Collection residences south of Cathedral Oaks Drive. (Ex: The Crown Collec tion homes range from 1,500 square feet to 2,300 square feet.) The proposed project is located along a Local Scenic Corridor on Figure 6 -1 of the General Plan and the proposed photo simulations which are on file with the Planning Department and are incorporated by reference demonstrated that the view to the mountains will alter minimally. In summary, the development will be compatible with the neighborhood, and its size, bulk and scale will be appropriate to the site and the neighborhood for the reasons stated above.

B. Site layout, orientation, and location of structures, including any signage and circulation, are in an appropriate and harmonious relationship to one another and the property.

The proposed development will create its own unique neighborhood. Further, the proposed development’s site layout is designed to be consistent with adjacent single-family residential neighborhoods south of Cathedral Oaks Drive with the two access points a ligning with the roads that serve the Crown Collection neighborhood. The proposed interior residential streets serve the residences and utilize pavers and curvilinear streets for traffic calming measures. The design of the homes is harmonious with each o ther based on the design features and the proposed colors and materials. Further, the landscaping and lighting features complement the architectural design and site layout thereby creating a balanced neighborhood design.

No subdivision signage is proposed at this time.

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

C. The development demonstrates a harmonious relationship with existing adjoining development, avoiding both excessive variety as well as monotonous repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted.

The Project has been designed to create a unique neighborhood and each of the floor plans and design elements work well together due to the similarity of the colors and materials of each home type. Further, the proposed development is compatible with the existing developments surroundin g the site because of the choice of colors and materials to be utilized, such as wood panels, smooth stucco finish, metal siding, glass door and window systems, and cantilevered sloped and flat roof systems. Although not identical to the residences to the west and south, the development has harmonious single-family residential characteristics but at the same time avoids monotonous repetition. For this reason, the development demonstrates a harmonious and non -repetitive architectural style with adjacent development.

D. There is harmony of material, color, and composition on all sides of structures.

The materials and earth colors for this project are proposed to match and complement each other within entirety of the development. Materials consist of wood paneling, smooth stucco, metal paneling, cantilevered roof lines, and door and window glass systems. All sides of the structures have been considered and addressed in the design of the proposed development , which complements each residence but also the entirety of the development.

E. Any outdoor mechanical or electrical equipment is well integrated in the total design and is screened from public view to the maximum extent practicable.

All outdoor mechanical and electrical equipment is screened from public view. The proposed trash areas for each lot are architecturally consistent with the design of the homes and would be screened from the street and other residences. Proposed transformers are integrated into the landscape design to the maximum extent possible.

F. The site grading is minimized, and the finished topography will be appropriate for the site.

Preliminary raw earthwork volumes are estimated at 27,500 cubic yards of cut and 23,500 cubic yards of fill. The 4,000 cubic yards of excess cut would be hauled to the Tajiguas Landfill. Existing project site elevations range from 145 to 252 feet 374

above mean sea level, with an average slope of 7.8 percent. The finished grade would range from approximately 150 to 245 feet, which is appropriate for the site.

G. Adequate landscaping is provided in proportion to the project and the site with due regard to preservation of specimen and protected trees, and existing native vegetation.

There are no native or specimen trees present on the site given the site’s past use for agricultural and wood chipping. The project includes 4 acres of landscaping around the perimeter of the development as well as within each new lot. The proposed landscaping improves the appearance of the community by providing a cohesive plant palette places in a manner to provide screening along Cathedral Oaks and between the lots, which will be permanently maintained for the life of the project by the Homeowners Association.

H. The selection of plant materials is appropriate to the project and its environment, and adequate provisions have been made for long -term maintenance of the plant materials.

The palette comprises plant material and trees known to thrive in the local climate and soil conditions. Twenty percent or less of the plant material will require moderate water, and the remainder will require low to very low water once established. The landscape plant palette includes various 15-gallon screen shrubs adjacent to residential streets such as Bush Andemone, Toyon, Kohuhu, and Lemonade Better. Various proposed Canopy trees include protecting in place the existing live oaks and adding new marina strawberries (24” Box), meyer lemons (24” Box), chinese flames (36” Box), apple (24” Box), avocado (24” Box), red push pistache (36” Box), as well as others. New trees to assist in the restoration with the proposed restoration of areas w ithin the riparian corridor include California sycamore (36” Box). and western cottonwood (24” Box). Further, the landscape plan for the project incorporates various features for management of stormwater and water The plant palette coupled with the irrigation system described has been designed to meet or exceed the state and local standards for water conservation through water efficient landscape irrigation design. Low-water shrubs and ground covers comprise a majority of the total landscaped area. Further , the project has been designed to meet the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO). The irrigation design will comply with local and state requirements. For these reasons, the selection of plant materials is appropriate for the project and its environment.

I. All exterior lighting, including for signage, is well designed, appropriate in size and location, and dark-sky compliant.

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

Exterior lighting has been designed to meet the City’s dark sky lighting standards by all being downward -angled. The lighting proposal includes streetlights at all intersections that are 16 feet tall, bollard lights 2 feet in height on each street, and lights at the front and back entrances/exits at the houses. The lights are LEDs and range in wattage from 7.5W to 120W. The photometric plan provided for the Project indicates that the foot-candle readings on 10-foot intervals do not exceed 0.1 foot- candles adjacent to residences. For these reasons, the project complies with the City’s lighting standards and is well designed and appropriate for the single-family neighborhood development.

J. The project architecture will respect the privacy of neighbors, is considerate of private views, and is protective of solar access off site.

The proposed project would not impact the privacy or solar access of the existing residential uses nearby given the distance between the sites. The closest distance between a home in the Project to the residential uses to the west would be approximately 250 feet and the closest distance between a home in the Project to the residential uses to the south would be 150 feet. Further, internal to the Project, the required setbacks have been observed , except on those lots where concessions/waivers have been requested. Further, care has been tak en regarding the places of windows, balconies, and outdoor living areas facing away from other residences internal to the project. As such, the proposed development is considerate of privacy and private views and protective of solar access off -site, and it will not affect solar access.

K. The proposed development is consistent with any additional design standards as expressly adopted by the City Council. (Ord. 20-03 § 6).

There are no adopted single-family design standards that apply to this project, and the project is consistent with the RS-7 standards, except for the excused deviations pursuant to State Density Bonus Law.

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

This is a Builder’s Remedy project with one concession (SPA buffer reduction) and four waivers from development regulations (i.e., rear yard setback, second story setback, maximum floor area, and lot widths). St ate law prohibits the City from requiring the project to apply for, or receive approval of, a general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, rezoning, or other legislative approval. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5 (f)(6)(D)(i). Additionally, as a Builder’s Remedy project, the applicant identif ied a local zoning district that is used as a basis for design consistency. The applicant identified the RS -7 zoning district as the most analogous zone. Per Sect ion 17.070.030, the maximum density in the RS zone districts is 5 dwellings/acre. The project has a density of 3.89 dwellings/acre.

Therefore, the design of the project is consistent with the density allowed with the RS-7 zone district. Additionally, Exhibit B to this Resolution outlines the project ’s consistency with the General Plan and is incorporated by reference into this finding. Finally, as discussed in California Government Code section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii) any qualifying Builder’s Remedy project “shall be deemed consistent, compliant, and in conformity with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, redevelopment plan and implementing instruments, or other similar provision for all purposes, and shall not be considered or treated as a nonconforming lot, use, or structure for any purpose.”

B. The site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location and physical characteristics to accommodate the intensity, except as it relates to the minimum allowed dwelling unit density for the site, of development proposed.

This site is physically suitable for the type of development given its topography and location adjacent to existing infrastructure located within the Cathedral Oaks Road right of way. The Project site is 14.38 net acres (15.8 gross acre) and can accommodate all development including, without limitation, its density and public infrastructure proposed by the Project. Moreover, the site is located close to existing public infrastructure that is appropriately sized to accommodate the additional homes including, without limitation, existing public streets and freeways, utility lines (e.g. water, sewer, gas electricity and communications), bus service routes and elementary and secondary public education facilities.

C. Any significant environmental impacts are mitigated to the maximum extent feasible.

An Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2012081019) has been prepared for the Shelby residential project. The impacts of the project have been identified and mitigated to maximum extent feasible. Seventeen mitigation measures have been proposed in the topic areas of : Biological Resources, Cultural/Tribal Cultural 377

City Council Resolution No. 26- ____

Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, and Wildfire. Despite the implementation of feasible mitigation measures , the Project will have significant and unavoidable impacts to Transportation. City Council will need to consider adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations . Refer to Sect ion 2 above for more information.

D. Project will not conflict with any easements required for public access through, or public use of a portion of the property.

According to the Fidelity National Title Company Title Report dated June 17, 2025, no public access easements will be affected by this project. Said Title report is on file with the Planning and Environmental Department and is incorporated by reference. Further, if any such easements do exist, they will be relocated or abandoned as part of the Final Map associated with this project.

SECTION 6. Actions. The City Council takes the following action:

Approves the Development Plan and Preliminary Design level elements (provided as Exhibit A) based on the findings contained in Sections 1-5, the General Plan Consistency Analysis (Exhibit B), the Zoning Consistency Analysis (Exhibit C) subject to conditions of approval provided as Exhibit D to this Resolution.

SECTION 7. Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findin gs and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 8. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project, including this Resolution, are based on the entire record, including the best information currently available. This includes competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

1 Shelby Residential Project
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan
Consistency Analysis

The project is consistent with the Goleta General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan (GP/CLUP) described below.

1. Land Use Element: This Project is a Builder’s Remedy project under the Housing Accountability Act (HAA). As explained in additional detail below, the Builder’s Remedy is a state law provision that prohibits a jurisdiction from denying a qualifying affordable housing project due to inconsistencies with the local zoning and/or general plan if an applicant submitted a preliminary application while the jurisdiction’s housing element was out of substantial compliance with state Housing Element Law (i.e. , uncertified).

The Project is on a 14.38 -acre lot located on Cathedral Oaks Road adjacent to the Glen Annie Golf Course, within the AG-II-40 zone district. While the property’s current general plan designation is Agricultural and its current zoning distr ict is AG -II-40, because this is a Builder’s Remedy project, state law prohibits the City from requiring the project to apply for, or receive approval of, a general plan amendment, specific plan amendment, rezoning, or other legislative approval. (Gov. Cod e, § 65589.5 (f)(6)(D)(i).) Additionally, as a Builder’s Remedy project, the applicant may identify a local residential land use designation that is used as a basis for design consistency. (Id., at (f)(6)(A).) The applicant identified the Single Family Residential (RS) land use designation as the most analogous zone and basis for the project.

With the Development Plan proposed by the applicant, t he project will be consistent with Land Use Element. The project’s residential and open space uses are consistent with the predominantly residential and open land use pattern in the City in general and with residential and open space uses surrounding the project including single -family residential to the south, multi -family residential to the west, and a golf cou rse to the north, east, and west (LU 1.2).

As noted above, the Project is being evaluated for consistency with the RS -7 zoning district’s standards. Features of the Project that deviate from the RS -7 zone’s requirements are justified pursuant to relief provided under State Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code, § 65915). As a Builder’s Remedy project with least 7 percent of units for extremely low-income households, the Project is entitled to, among other things, four concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions of development standards that physically preclude the Project from being constructed by the applicant. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(f)(6)(B)(i)(II), (C)(i), (iv).) The applicant is requesting one concession and four waivers to deviate from the City standards listed below. State law prohibits the City from finding the Project inconsistent with the City’s standards as a result of Density Bonus Law. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(j)(3).) The one concession and four waivers are as follows:
421
Planning Commission Resolution 26-___, Exhibit B
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Consistency Analysis Shelby Residential Project
P a g e | 2

2 Concession

1. Encroachment into the required 100 -foot streamside protection area (SPA) buffer of approximately 7,786 square feet (0.18 acres) in the rear yards of Lots 1 through 8, portions of the houses on Lots 1 and 2, and for portions of sidewalk in Lot 38. To compen sate for SPA buffer encroachment, the proposed project design includes 0.21 acres of additional open space provided outside of and adjacent to the edge of the 100-foot SPA buffer on proposed Lot 58.

Waivers

Four waivers from the RS-7 zone district standards:

1. Proposed lot widths of 60 feet (which is less than the 65 feet otherwise required in the RS -7 zone district) on 31 of the 56 proposed residential lots.

2. Proposed rear yard setbacks of 15 feet (which is less than the 25 feet otherwise required in the RS-7 zone district) on 51 of the 56 proposed residential lots.

3. Reduced side yard setbacks (of less than the otherwise required 6.5 feet in the RS-7 zone district) on 32 of the 56 proposed residential lots. The reduction allows for a second story to extend closer to the edge of the property line.

4. The allowed maximum floor area of 35 houses would exceed the maximum allowed floor-area. The exceedances range between 208 to 1,539 additional square feet, depending on the lot. These floor -area exceedances would occur on Lots 1 through 14, 20 through 23, 25 through 29, 32, 34, 36, 40, 41, 45, 46, 48, 50, 52, and 55.

The project includes design characteristics, reviewed by the Design Review Board, to ensure development will result in a well -designed community with a sense of place and appropriate scale which are implemented by the Development Plan (LU 1.9). The General Plan establishes the permitted uses, density, and building mass and scale for the project site and is consistent with the standards set forth in Table 2 -1 of the GP/CLUP for residential land uses (LU 2.1, LU 2.2, and LU 2.4). Existing vegetation surrounding the project site on the west, north and portions of the east will screen the project site from adjacent development. Landscaping of open space areas, including a 50-foot wide landscape buffer along Cathedral Oaks Road will provide additional buffer from surrounding residential and recreational uses. The development standards and design requirements of the Development Plan ensure the project is compatible with the character of the immediately surrounding neighborhood (LU 2.3). Additionally, the project will be adequately served by existing public services and infrastructure as is further discussed in the Public Facilities and Transportation Element analyses (LU

1.13 and LU 11.1).

2. Open Space Element: The project is consistent with Open Space Element due to the Builder’s Remedy as pect of the project. Additionally, w hile the project site is 422

3 designated Agriculture in the GP/CLUP, it has not been suitable for agricultural production since 1995 . The project will include approximately 1.4 acres of neighborhood open space including an approximately 0.9 acre open space area at the southwestern corner of the site which will serve as a protective buffer to the creek and riparian habitat along El Encanto Creek, just west of the project site. This open space area will also serve as a stormwate r bioswale and detention/retention basin and provide a passive recreation area for use by project homeowners and their guests.

Sidewalks on both sides of the internal streets within the project site will provide easy and safe access to these neighborhood open spaces. Uses consistent within OS 6.7 within these open space areas ensures that future changes to these areas are limited to appropriate passive recreational and resource protection uses. The project mitigation measures further require that landscap ing within the SPA adjacent to El Encanto Creek be native species from local propagules. A 50-foot-wide greenbelt fronting on Cathedral Oaks Road will enhance the visual appearance of the property from the public roadway and buffer roadway noise from the r esidential uses on the project site (OS 6.5).

A Phase I cultural resources inventory of the project site indicates no significant impacts to cultural resources are likely to occur. Project mitigation measures will ensure appropriate action is taken, consi stent with GP/CLUP policies, should unanticipated cultural resources be discovered (OS 8.1, OS 8.3, OS 8.4, OS 8.5, and OS 8.6). Similarly, project mitigation measures will ensure appropriate action is taken consistent with GP/CLUP policies should any pale ontological resources be encountered during construction (OS 8.7).

3. Conservation Element: The project is consistent with the Conservation Element.

While no special status species are identified and while no portion of the project site is designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) on the Special - Status Species and Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas Map (Figure 4 -1) of the GP/CLUP, a site specific study of the property identified two types of ESHAs on or adjacent to the site. Habitat for the Santa Barbara honeysuckle is located on the project site and riparian habitat associated with El Encanto Creek is located off -site, adjacent to the western border (CE 1.1, CE 1.2, CE 1.3, and CE 2.1). Twenty-four individuals of Santa Barbara honeysuckle were mapped on the project site along the southwestern border (CE 8.1 and CE 8.3). Project mitigation measures will ensure ESHA and special-status species are protected consistent with applicable GP/CLUP policies (CE 1.6, CE 1.7, CE 1.8, CE 1.9, CE 1.10, CE 8.2, and CE 8.4).

Policy CE 2.2 generally establishes a SPA buffer of 100 feet on either side of El Encanto Creek. Although the creek in this location is situated within unincorporated Santa Barbara County , the SPA buffer requirements are applicab le. The habitat stream buffers upstream and downstream of the project site are primarily 25 feet or less. The stream side protection buffer from the edge of the riparian corridor is a 100’ minimum setback. However, as a Builder’s Remedy project with least 7 percent of units deemed for extremely low-income households, the Project is entitled to, among 423

4 other things, four concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions of development standards that physically preclude the Project from being constructed by the applicant. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(f)(6)(B)(i)(II), (C)(i), (iv).) The applicant is requesting one concession to encroach into the required 100 -foot streamside protection area (SPA) buffer of approximately 7,786 square feet (0.18 acres) in the rear yards of Lots 1 through 8, portions of the houses on Lots 1 and 2, and for portions of sidewalk in Lot 38. As required by project mitigation measures and consistent with GP/CLUP policies, uses and activities primarily in this area will be limited to fencing to protect the creek , riparian habitat, drainage improvements , construction and maintenance of foot trails, bicycle paths, and similar low -impact facilities for public access except for the uses/activities allowed by the request concession. Only native, locally propagated plants will be allowed in the area between El Encanto Creek and the internal road and invasive species will be prohibited throughout the development.

With these mitigations, the buffer along El Encanto Creek on the project site would be expanded and enhanced and its ongoing protection. Further this area will be protected over the long term through either the recordation of an easement or deed restriction which outlines the limitation of uses allowed in the SPA buffer area (CE 2.1, CE 2.2, CE 2.3, and CE 2.4).

The project, as designed and in compliance with protective development requirements, will protect El Encanto Creek and its associated riparian area (CE 2.5 and CE 2.6). In particular, the development must utilize best management practices for stormwater management including, without limitation, stormwater curb extensions and permeable paving to capture stormwater runoff for biofiltration treatment and sediment collection, will ensure impacts on water quality are minimized (CE 10.1, CE

10.2, CE 10.3, CE 10.4, CE 10.6, CE 10.7). The homeowner’s association for the project must maintain all stormwater management facilities serving the project in compliance with GP/CLUP policy (CE 10.8). Further, any landscaping required for erosion control must use native, noninvasive plants to minimize the need for fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, and excessive irrigation (CE 10.9).

The project site has been unsuitable for agricultural production since 1995 (CE 11.1, CE 11.8, and CE 11.10). The project site is located more than 0.5 mile from U.S.

Highway 101 and there are no identified stationary toxic sources near the property (CE 12.1). As mitigated, the project would be consistent with all GP/CLUP policies related to emissions (CE 12.2 and CE 12.3). The project will comply with applicable sustainable green building standards as required by the State building code which facilitation consistency with General Plan Policies . CE 13.1, CE 13.3, CE 15.3, and CE 15.5. In addition, adequate, screen ed trash and recycling storage areas will be provided at each home and the plant palette for the project will favor low-green waste producing plants (CE 15.4).

A few small trees currently exist along Cathedral Oaks Road frontage adjacent to the project site. The project will include landscape improvements within the public road easement and a 50-foot wide greenbelt along Cathedral Oaks Road. This landscaping 424
Planning Commission Resolution 26-___, Exhibit B
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Consistency Analysis Shelby Residential Project
P a g e | 5

5 will include a large number of trees. Landscaping in the other open space areas within the project s ite and in the front yards of residential lots will also include trees. The Development Plan requires all trees planted to be at least 15 gallons in size. The City will ensure the tree selection and placement is appropriate to the site and surrounding area and enhances the City’s urban forest (CE 14.1, CE 14.2, CE 14.3, and CE 14.4).

4. Safety Element: The project is consistent with the Safety Element. The project site has an average slope of approximately 7.8 percent and is not located in a fault zone or a 100-year flood zone. Recommended design features are incorporated into the project to counter potential slope instability, erosion and landslides. Moreover, the project must comply with all applicable Building Code requirements (CBC and GMC) (SE 1.3, SE 1.6, SE 1.9, SE 5.2 and SE 5.4). Residential development will exceed the minimum 50-foot setback from El Encanto Creek as generally required in SE 6.6 with the observation of the 100’ SPA buffer with the concession.

All new residences will comply with current California Building Code requirements for fire protection, including the installation of fire sprinklers (SE 7.1, SE 7.2, and SE 7.5).

The project will be adequately served by fire protection services and the Fire Department approved a Fire Protection Plan for the project.

5. Visual and Historic Resources Element: The project is consistent with the Visual and Historic Resources Element. Views from Cathedral Oaks Road, and private views from adjacent developments located to the west and south of the site will be minimally impacted as demonstrated by the photo simulations provided in the aesthetic section of the associated Final EIR found on pages 4.1-18- through 4.1-21, which demonstrate that the views to the mountains are minimally impacted. Looking east and north toward and through the project site, existing landscaping and overgrown vegetation are present that create very limited view of the foothills and mountains beyond. Private viewpoints from multifamily residences west of the site, beyond El Encanto Creek and Northgate Drive, are screened by the existing trees and vegetation along El Encanto Creek and the site is not visible. Additionally, viewpoints from the golf course on the west, north, and east side of the project site are mostly screened by landscaping and topography, but not fully blocked. Most private views of the site are obstructed by existing vegetation. Views from the single-family residential neighborhood to the south will be changed as a result of the project but mitigation restricting the maximum height of structures will minimize this impact (VH 1.8).

While the proposed project would result in some changes to existing views, the design of the project would not result in substantial, adverse changes to identified scenic corridors or resources from public viewpoints in the project vicinity. Mitigation measures have been incorporated to reduce the impact on scenic views to the maximum extent practicable. (VH 1.1, VH 1.2, VH 1.4, VH 2.1, VH 2.2, and VH 2.3).

The project site is adjacent to El Encanto Creek and its riparian corridor. The current extent of th e riparian corridor is limited due to existing development upstream and 425
Planning Commission Resolution 26-___, Exhibit B

6 downstream and on the project site. However, the project includes an open space area adjacent to the creek which will expand and enhance the buffer adjacent to the creek which will be visible from public viewing areas on Cathedral Oaks Road (VH

1.1).

Development of the site will be an extension of the existing urban neighborhoods to the south and west (VH 1.5). The project will include a 50 -wide greenbelt along Cathedral Oaks Road to so ften the appearance of the new development from the scenic corridor. All lighting will be conditioned to comply with City regulations for lighting in residential developments and all utilities will be placed underground (VH

4.12 and VH 4.14). Public improvements along Cathedral Oaks will include connection of the Class I trail existing on either side of the property which will enhance the visual character and functionality of the corridor (VH 2.2, VH 2.3, VH 2.4, VH 2.5, and VH

4.10).

There is minimal vege tation and no significant natural landforms on the project site ; the site has an average slope of 7.8 percent. Minimal grading is proposed to prepare the site for infrastructure and structural development. Project development will include the installation of landscaping which will aid in blending the development with the surrounding environment. The circulation and lot configuration along with the development standards, and landscape standards promote high quality design and a sense of place which is implemented by the Development Plan (VH 3.1 and VH 3.2).

The homes will be constructed of high quality, durable materials; scaled appropriately to the lot sizes and overall site; oriented to take advantage of the natural environment, encourage indoor/outdoor liv ing, and maintain solar access; and will comply with CalGreen+ standards of the City’s Green Building regulations (VH 3.4 and VH 4.16).

Landscaping is an integral part of the project design. Native, drought -tolerant vegetation is strongly encouraged, turf areas are limited, and invasive plants are prohibited (VH 4.9). The project will include adequate parking and amenities for residents, provide for safe pedestrian and bicycle circulation within and between neighborhoods, respect existing natural features o n and surrounding the site, and provide well-defined community open space areas (VH 3.3, VH 3.5, and VH 3.6).

Signage must comply with existing City zoning regulations for signage in residential areas (VH 3.7 and VH 4.13). Design review is required before project construction to ensure appropriate plant selections that minimize view blockage and ensure the design of structures is of high quality, compatible with surrounding development, and enhances the visual character of the City overall (VH 1.6, VH 2.2, VH 2.3, VH 2.4, VH

3.1, VH 3.2, VH 4.1, VH 4.3, VH 4.9, VH 4.10, and VH 4.15).

6. Transportation Element: The project is consistent with the Transportation Element. The project will include a looped road which intersects with Cathedral Oaks Road. Driveways are not allowed onto Cathedral Oaks Road (TE 3.3). Internal streets will include two 12-foot travel lanes with eight-foot parking/landscape curb extensions 426
Planning Commission Resolution 26-___, Exhibit B
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Consistency Analysis Shelby Residential Project
P a g e | 7

7 on either side. Lane widths appropriate to the residential neighborhood and adequate for emergency access with parking and curb extensions along the travel lanes will encourage appropriate speeds within the neighborhood (TE 1.2, TE 1.4, TE 3.6, TE

3.7, and TE 6.7). Sidewalks on both sides of the internal streets will accommodate safe pedestrian movement throughout the project site. The internal sidewalks will also connect to improvements along Cathedral Oaks Road, which include the provision of sidewalk and 10-foot wide Class I riding and pedestrian path on either side of the property to comple te the missing linkage (TE 3.9, TE 10.4, and TE 13.5). Street lighting is required to comply with the neighborhood character and be consistent with the policies of the Conservation Element (TE 6.8). As discussed in the Conservation Element analysis, development features ensure appropriate drainage and protection of water quality (TE 6.3).

Two off-street parking spaces located in a garage will be required for each residential unit. Additional driveway space on each lot will also be available for off-street parking of at least two vehicles. This will ensure there is adequate parking to serve the project (TE 9.1, TE 9.2, and TE 9.3).

The traffic study prepared for the project estimated that the project generated 15.9 VMT per resident, which exceeds the County t hreshold of 14.9 VMT per resident.

Therefore, the proposed project would potentially be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b). This impact would be potentially significant, however with implementation of the assumed VMT reductions stated in the traffic study could potentially be reduced to 12.75 VMT per resident, which would be below the City thresholds.

The July 30, 2025 , Traffic and VMT Assessment prepared by Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE) is provided as Appendix J to the Shelby Final EIR SCH #2012081019, is on file with the City and is incorporated by reference. Table 4 of the July 30, 2025, ATE report indicates that the project is anticipated to generate a total of 477 average daily trips (ADT) with 37 AM peak hour trips and 47 PM peak hour trips. Further the ATE report indicates that the project will not affect the nearby intersections to reduce level of service (LOS) to below LOS C in keeping with General Plan Policy TE 4.1.

The developer must also pay traffic impact fees to fund transportation improvements to ensure adequate levels of service system wide (TE 14.1).

6. Public Facilities Element: The project is consistent with the Public Facilities Element.

The permittee must pay developm ent impact fees as required by GMC Title 1 7. The project is designed to comply with fire safety design standards identified in the California Fire Code, as adopted by the GMC, and the Santa Barbara County Fire Protection District’s development standards (PF 3.4). The project would not result in any significant new demands on the sheriffs or fire protection services but would contribute impact fees to assist with administrative facilities and fire facilities which will improve emergency response times to the project area (PF 3.2, PF 3.3, and PF 3.8). 427

8 The project is designed to encourage a secure, safe, and crime-free environment with adequate lighting and homes with front doors facing the street (PF 3.9).

The project will not adversely affect the water supply. The Goleta Water District (GWD) confirmed the property has received a Preliminary Water Determination Letter and a Preliminary Condition Letter..

The Goleta West Sanitary District confirmed that sanitation services are available to serve the project (PF 4.2). Environmental analysis confirmed the project would add a less than significant number of students to existing public schools (PF 5.2).

Additionally, the developer is required to pay school impact fee s as required by the Goleta Union School District and Santa Barbara Unified School District (PF 5.7). All utility providers confirmed that they can serve the project and all utilities will be placed underground (PF 6.1 and PF 6.2). The permittee will fund the cost to construct new utility infrastructure for the project and connect to existing utility facilities (PF 9.2, PF

9.3, and PF 9.7)

7. Noise Element: The project is consistent with the Noise Element. The project’s single- family residential use is compatible with the surrounding single-family and multi-family residential and golf course uses (NE 1.1). Neighborhood noise sources are generally intermittent and while they could generate noise in excess of 65 dBA CNEL at times, basic construction techniques re quired by the California Residential Code (CRC) would reduce interior noise levels to 45 dBA (NE 1.2 and NE 1.5). Further, there is over 250 feet between the project site and the multi-family residential development to the west and the 20-foot-wide landscaped open space area along Cathedral Oaks Road will buffer traffic noise from the residential uses on the project site. Vegetation on the perimeter of the adjacent golf course will also buffer noise between the two properties (NE 1.3, NE 2.1, NE 7.1 and NE 7.2). The street design, and landscaped curb extensions , will help to ensure reasonable vehicle speeds within the project, thereby reducing traffic noise impacts (NE 2.7). The homeowner’s association must maintain streets within the project site which will ensure traffic-generated noise within the project site from potholes, bumps, and other roadway damage will be minimized (NE 2.8).

Short-term construction noise during project construction will be mitigated with the implementation of standard conditions su ch as limiting construction hours, requiring properly maintained equipment, restricting idling equipment, and routing construction traffic to avoid neighborhood streets, as well as implementation of Mitigation Measure NOI-1 from the EIR (NE 6.4 and 6.5).

8. Housing Element: The project includes a Vesting Tentative Map and Development Plan for the 56 new single-family residences. The project is consistent with the 2023- 2031 Housing Element. The project will provide 56 family homes of which 11 units will be income deed restricted for a duration of 55 years. The income restricted units will be in the following categories four residences at extremely low -income level, one 428
Planning Commission Resolution 26-___, Exhibit B
General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Consistency Analysis Shelby Residential Project
P a g e | 9

9 residence at lower income level, three residences at moderate income level, and three residences at above -moderate income levels. Based on the nature of the units, the project will contribute to the mix of housing choices within the City and be available to the local workforce (HE 3.1, HE 4.2). Project open space improvements including walking trails; sidewalks; and private outdoor areas on residential lots will make the development desirable for families and children (HE 5.5). Initial development and future renovations, additions, and other improvements require City approval to ensure the site and building design is consistent with the design principles articulated in the City’s design review requirements and that the project will create and maintain a sense of place compatible with surrounding uses (HE 9.1 and HE 9.2). As discussed in the Conservation Element analysis, the project complies with the City’s Green Building regulations (HE 9.4 and HE 9.5). Pursuant to project description with the inclusion of the income restricted un its, the permittee will provide different affordability types consistent with the need for affordable housing in the City (HE 11.1, HE 11.2, HE 11.3, HE 11.4, and HE 11.5)

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

SHELBY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

DEVELOPMENT PLAN
CASE NO. 05-154-DP

In addition to all applicable provisions of the Goleta Municipal Code (“GMC”), Springville 3 LP (formerly Shelby Family Partnership, LP and hereinafter referred to as “Shelby” or “Permittees”) owner of the parcel with APN 077-530-019, commonly known as 7400 Cathedral Oaks Road , agrees to the following conditions for the City’s approv al of Case No.05-154-DP (“Project Conditions”). The Development Plan and all the post-discretionary entitlements constitute the “Permit.”
Unless the contrary is stated or clearly appears from the context, the construction of words and phrases used in these Project Conditions use the definitions set forth in the GMC. For purposes of these Project Conditions, the term “Director” refers to the Planning and Environmental Review Director, or designee.

AUTHORIZATION

1. The Development Plan authorizes Permittees to construct the following primary components as follows:
 Demolition of the existing on-site residence, garage, and barn.  Subdivision of the existing 14.38 -net acre parcel into 59 separate lots (via a Vesting Tentative Map).
 Construction and occupancy of 56 single-family dwellings on Lots 1 through Lot 56 inclusive of landscaping and lighting. Eleven (11) units will be deed - restricted as affordable units for at least 55 years. Of the 11 units, four residences would be designated for extremely low -income house holds, one residence would be designated for lower income households, three residences would be designated for moderate income households, and three residences would be designated for above-moderate income households.  Use of Lots 57 through Lot 59 would be for open space containing landscape and stormwater facilities.
 Construction of private streets to serve the development. The streets, the lighting, landscaping, and the common area improvements will be the responsibility of the future homeowner’s association (HOA).

The Project was evaluated for consistency with the RS -7 zoning district’s standards.

Features of the Project that deviate from the RS-7 zone’s requirements were permitted pursuant to relief provided under State Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code, § 65915). As a Builder’s Remedy project with at least 7 percent of units for extremely low -income households, the Project is entitled to, among other things, four concessions and an unlimited number of waivers or reductions of development standards that phy sically 442
Exhibit D, Attachment 3
Development Plan Conditions of Approval
Shelby Residential Project

2 City Council Resolution No. 26-____
preclude the Project from being constructed by the applicant. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(f)(6)(B)(i)(II), (C)(i), (iv).)

The applicant was granted one concession and four waivers to deviate from the City standards listed below. State law prohibited the City from finding the Project inconsistent with the City’s standards as a result of the Density Bonus Law concession and waivers. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5(j)(3).)

The one concession and four waivers are as follows:

a. Concession

Encroachment into the required 100-foot streamside protection area (SPA) buffer of approximately 7,786 square feet (0.18 acres) in the rear yards of Lots 1 through 8, portions of the houses on Lots 1 and 2, and for portions of sidewalk in Lot 38.

To compensate for SPA buffer en croachment, the proposed project design includes 0.21 acres of additional open space provided outside of and adjacent to the edge of the 100-foot SPA buffer on proposed Lot 58.

b. Waivers

Four waivers from the RS-7 zone district standards:

1. Lot widths of 60 feet (which is less than the 65 feet otherwise required in the RS -7 zone district) on 31 of the 56 proposed residential lots.

2. Rear yard setbacks of 15 feet (which is less than the 25 feet otherwise required in the RS-7 zone district) on 51 of the 56 proposed residential lots.

3. Reduced side yard setbacks (of less than the otherwise required 6.5 feet in the RS-7 zone district) on 32 of the 56 proposed residential lots. The reduction allows for a second story to extend closer to the edge of the property line.

4. The allowed maximum floor area of 35 houses would exceed the maximum allowed floor area. The exceedances range between 208 to 1,539 additional square feet, depending on the lot. These floor-area exceedances would occur on Lots 1 through 14, 20 through 23, 25 through 29, 32, 34, 36, 40, 41, 45, 46, 48, 50, 52, and 55.

2. Affordable Housing Units:
a. Eleven units of the fifty -six (56) units shall be deed-restricted as affordable units for at least 55 years. Of the 11 affordable units, four units must be designated for extremely low -income households, one unit must be designated for low -income households, three units must be designated for moderate income households, and three units must be designated for above- moderate income households . The affordable units shall be located and disbursed throughout the Project in accordance with Exhibits 1 and 2 of that 443

b. Prior to Final Map Recordation (in accordance with the Conditions of Approval for the Vesting Tentative Map ), Shelby shall execute and record an Agreement to Provide Affordable Housing (“Agreement”) for the provision of affordable units. The Agreement at a minimum must:
i) Specify that the 11 affordable rate units shall remain affordable for at least 55 years. As an ownership project, each purchaser of an affordable unit will be required to execute and record on title a Resale Restrictive Covenant. Upon each subsequent sale of a below -market rate unit, a new Resale Restrictive Covenant will be required, with a new 55-year term, unless preempted by state or federal programs.

ii) In accordance with the City’s Affordable Housing Policies and Procedure Manual include a marketing plan with provisions for a public lottery for the initial sale of affordable units. Eligibility for prospective purchasers of the affordable units shall be determined by the City of Goleta or its designee at Applicant/Permittee's expense.

iii) Specify that all purchasers of the affordable units will be required to sign a Primary Residence Statement, agreeing to reside in the unit at least 10 months of each calendar year.

iv) Specify that the maximum sales price for the initial sale of the 11 affordable units shall comply with the following: (1) for the four extremely low income units, the maximum sales price shall not exceed an “affordable housing cost” for extremely low income households as determined by the Cit y in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 50052.5(b)(1); and (2) for the remaining seven affordable units, the maximum sales price shall not exceed the maximum levels for low, moderate and above -moderate income households (as applicable) for inclusionary units established by the City Council, consistent with the provisions of the City’s Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures Manual.

c. Construction of the affordable units must be concurrent with the construction of the market rate units, and the affordable units must be located through the project site in accordance with Condition 2(a) above . Issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the affordable units must be in proportion with the issuance of the Certificates of Occupancy of the ma rket rate units at a 20% affordable to 80% market unit ratio. The availability of the affordable units must occur as follows.

f. Post-Entitlement Phase Permits. After the entitlement process has been completed, all post-entitlement phase permit applications will be reviewed and processed in accordance with Government Code section 65913.3. “Post - entitlement phase permits” shall have the same meaning as provided in Government Code section 65913.3(k)(3)(A) and includes, among other things, building permits, permits for minor or standard offsite improvements, demolition permits, and permits for minor or standard excavation and grading.

For purposes of the Project and these conditions of approval, the entitlement process will be considered complete only after all of the following have occurred:

i) Map Clearance Issuance including all require d agreements to be fully executed in the Vesting Tentative Map Conditions of Approval. ii) Encroachment Permit Issuance
iii) Zoning Clearance Issuance for Grading
vi) Zoning Clearance Issuance for Building Permits , including all required agreements to be fully executed in these Conditions of Approval v) Final Design Review by the Design Review Board (DRB) review

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

3. Approval of the Development Plan for Lots 1 through 59 will expire five (5) years after approval, unless before the expiration, substantial physical construction has been completed on the Development Plan, or a time extension has been applied for by the Permittees. The decision-maker with jurisdiction over the project may, upon good cause shown, grant a time extension as specified by City regulations. If the Permittees request a time extension, the project may be revised to include updated language to standard conditions and/or may include revised/additional conditions, which reflect changed circumstances or additional identified project impacts. Any new fees imposed, and existing fees will be those in effect at the time of the extension request.

4. This Permit runs with the land and the rights and obligations thereof, including the responsibility to comply with Development Plan, which are binding upon successors in interest. The Development Plan may be modified, terminated, or abandoned in accordance with applicable law including, without limitation, the GMC.

5. The City will only issue permits for development, excluding rough grading, when the requested construction documents (e.g., grading plans or building plans, etc.) are in substantial compliance with the approved Development Plan, applicable zoning clearance, and the associated Final Map has been recorded.

Consistent with District Code Section 5.16.040, the District has reviewed the Annual Water Demand Report for the Shelby Family Housing Development Project prepared by the Applicant’s Enginee r, Mohammad M. Quayum , dated February 9, 2026 (Report) and has determined that new potable water service demand for the Proposed Project is estimated to be

39.81 AFY.

Total Residential Water Demand: 24.64 AFY Total Landscape Irrigation Water Demand: 15.17 AFY Total Water Demand: 39.81 AFY

Following receipt of a copy of the City of Goleta Building Permit, the District will review the estimated allocations and may revise the water demand estimate if there are any changes to the Proposed Project description. Any additional development or changes of use which result in the existing water allocation on the Property being exceeded will be subject to the current prohibition on approval of new water service applications.

Credit for Existing Potable Water Use

The existing property has no e xisting non-agriculture potable water credit consistent with District Code Section

5.16.041.

New Water Supply Charge (NWSC) Calculations

The forecasted total annual potable water demand outlined above, is used to calculate the new water demand and NWSC. Pursuant to District Code Appendix A, Section 12, the NWSC for the Proposed Project is determined using the following rates:

NWSC = [Forecasted New Potable Water Demand x Unit Rate ($66,134 per AFY)] NWSC = 39.81 AFY x $66,134 per AFY = $2,632,794.54

The new water demand and associated New Water Supply Charge for the Proposed Project is $2,632,794.54.

SAFE Water Supplies Ordinance

The SAFE Water Supplies Ordinance prohibits the District from releasing over 1% of available potable water supplies annually to new or additional service connections, unless specific conditions are met. Although the District is currently authorized under SAFE to issue new allocations, the District cannot guarantee this will be the case at any given point in the future. In addition, new water connections could be limited in the future by Water Shortage Emergencies and related Agency actions under Water Code Sections 350 et seq.

ATTACHMENT A

FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL MEASURES

Projects involving earthmoving activities are expected to manage fugitive dust emissions such that emissions do not exceed APCD’s visible emissions limit (APCD Rule 302), create a public nuisance (APCD Rule 303), and are in compliance with the APCD’s requirements and standards for visible dust (APCD Rule 345). The following measures should be implemented to reduce fugitive dust emissions and impacts.

• During construction, use water trucks, sprinkler systems, or dust suppressants in all areas of vehicle movement to prevent dust from leaving the site and from exceeding the APCD’s limit of 20% opacity for greater than 3 minutes in any 60-minute period. When using water, this includes wetting down areas as needed but at least once in the late morning and after work is completed for the day. Increased watering frequency should be required when sustained wind speed exceeds 15 mph. Reclaimed water should be used whenever possible. However, reclaimed water should not be used in or around crops for human consumption. • Onsite vehicle speeds shall be no greater than 15 miles per hour when traveling on unpaved surfaces. • Install and operate a track-out prevention device where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved streets.

The track-out prevention device can include any device or combination of devices that are effective at preventing track out of dirt such as gravel pads, pipe-grid track-out control devices, rumble strips, or wheel-washing systems. • If importation, exportation, and stockpiling of fill material is involved, soil stockpiled for more than one day shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil binders to prevent dust generation. Trucks transporting fill material to and from the site shall be tarped from the point of origin. The amount of excavated material or waste materials stored at the site should be minimized.
• Minimize the amount of disturbed area. After clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation is completed, or if previously graded areas remain inactive for more than 10 calendar days, treat the disturbed area by watering, OR using roll-compaction, OR revegetating or hydroseeding, OR by applying non-toxic soil binders until the area is paved or otherwise developed so that dust generation will not occur. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks etc. proposed to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. • Schedule clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation activities during periods of low wind speed to the extent feasible. During periods of high winds (>25 mph) clearing, grading, earthmoving, and excavation operations shall be minimized to prevent fugitive dust created by onsite operations from becoming a nuisance or hazard. • The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor and document the dust control program requirements to ensure any fugitive dust emissions do not result in a nuisance and to enhance the implementation of the mitigation measures as necessary to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holiday and weekend periods when work may not be in progress.

All measures required by the Lead Agency shall be shown on grading and building plans and/or as a separate information sheet listing the conditions of approval to be recorded with the map prior to grading/building permit issuance
and/or map recordation. Conditions shall be adhered to throughout all grading and construction periods. The name and telephone number of a dust control contact shall be provided to the APCD prior to grading/building permit issuance and/or map clearance. The Lead Agency shall ensure measures are on project plans and/or recorded with maps. The Lead Agency staff shall ensure compliance onsite. APCD inspectors will respond to nuisance complaints. 490

ATTACHMENT B

CONSTRUCTION DIESEL PARTICULATE AND NOX EMISSION REDUCTION MEASURES

Particulate emissions from diesel exhaust are classified as carcinogenic by the state of California. The following is a list of regulatory requirements and control strategies that should be implemented to the maximum extent feasible.

The following measures are required by state law:
• Portable Engines: All portable diesel-powered construction equipment greater than 50 brake horsepower (bhp) shall be registered with the state’s portable equipment registration program (PERP)1 OR shall obtain an APCD permit. • Off-Road Equipment: Fleet owners of diesel-fueled mobile construction equipment greater than 25 hp are subject to the California Air Resource Board (CARB) In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation2. All off-road vehicles subject to this regulation must use renewable diesel fuel, with some limited exceptions. • Diesel Trucks: Fleet owners of on-road diesel-fueled heavy-duty trucks and buses are subject to CARB’s Heavy-Duty (Tractor-Trailer) Greenhouse Gas Regulation, Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP), the Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation, and the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation to reduce emissions from trucks and buses.3 • Idling: Drivers of diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles are subject to the Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Limit Diesel-Fueled Commercial Motor Vehicle Idling.4 Idling restrictions for off-road equipment are set forth in CARB’s In- Use Off-road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation.

The following measures are recommended:
• At a minimum, off-road diesel equipment should be equipped with engines compliant with, or certified to meet or exceed, CARB Tier 4 emission standards. Where available, off-road construction equipment should be zero-emission.

Alternative/renewable fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), or propane should be utilized to the maximum extent feasible when zero-emission is not available. Electric auxiliary power units should be used. The Lead Agency should require commitments to Tier 4 and/or zero-emission equipment in applicable bid documents, purchase orders, and contracts; successful contractors should demonstrate the ability to supply the compliant construction equipment for use prior to any ground-disturbing and construction activities. • On-road heavy-duty equipment with model year 2014 or newer engines, or powered by zero- or near zero-emission technology, should be used whenever feasible.
• All portable generators should be powered by a source other than diesel or gasoline (i.e., battery, natural gas, propane, etc.)
• All construction equipment should be maintained in tune per the manufacturer’s specifications. • The number of construction equipment operating simultaneously should be minimized through efficient management practices to ensure that the smallest practical number is operating at any one time. • Proposed truck routes should minimize impacts to residential communities and sensitive receptors. • Construction staging areas should be located away from sensitive receptors such that exhaust and other construction emissions do not enter the fresh air intakes to buildings, air conditioners, and windows. Construction activity schedules and hours should be planned and adjusted as feasible to maximize distance from existing sensitive receptors and minimize exposure to air pollution.

Prior to grading/building permit issuance and/or map recordation, all measures required by the Lead Agency shall be shown as conditions of approval on grading/building plans, and/or on a separate sheet to be recorded with the map.

Conditions shall be adhered to throughout grading and construction periods. The contractor shall retain onsite the Certificate of Compliance for CARB’s In-Use Regulation for Off-Road Diesel Vehicles and have it available for inspection.

The Lead Agency shall ensure measures are on project plans and/or recorded with maps and ensure compliance onsite.

APCD inspectors will respond to nuisance complaints.

SPA Buffer Reduction
• Proposed encroachment of residential structures and grading into the 100-foot SP
A upland buffer is allowed pursuant to State Density Bonus Law • Meets the criteria for buffer reduction under General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan Policy
CE 2.2 and Goleta Municipal Code Section 17.30.070.
• While inconsistent with Policy CE 2.3, such conflict does not inherently result in a significan
t environmental impact under CEQA.
• CEQA significance is determined by whether a conflict with a plan would lead to a subs
tantial adverse physical change in the environment. In this case, the inconsistency is limited to the type of development (i.e., residential use) rather than the extent or severity of physical impacts.
• Development within the SPA buffer has been sited and designed to minimize impacts to rip
arian vegetation, would not involve protected tree removal, and would not result in significant degradation of streamside habitat or hydrology.
