4. On October 8, 2024, the Highland City Council conducted a Public Hearing on the subject Project and concluded the Hearing on that date.

5. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

B. RESOLUTION
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the Highland City Council as follows:
120
The Highland City Council finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part "A" of this Resolution, are true and correct.

2. Environmental Review - CEQA Compliance
a. An Initial Study was prepared for the Project and potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, tribal/cultural resources, geology and soils, paleontological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and noise were identified. Project specific mitigation measures have been included to reduce said impacts to below a level of significance and the list of measures have been included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP). b. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) was circulated through the California State Clearinghouse and made available for public comment between July 9, 2024 and August 7, 2024. The Notice was mailed to surrounding property owners within 300 feet as well as interested agencies and parties at their request. The Notice was also posted on the City's website, outside City Hall, the Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center, and Fire Station # 1. The Notice was also published in the San Bernardino Sun, a newspaper of general circulation. c. Based upon the Findings of the Initial Study and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Project will not have a significant impact upon the environment.

Concurrently with this Resolution, the City Council is adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this Project.

3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the Highland City Council during the October 8, 2024 Public Hearing, including public testimony and written and oral Staff Reports, the Highland City Council finds as follows:
a. All necessary public meetings and opportunities for public testimony and comment have been conducted in compliance with State Law and the Municipal Code of the City of Highland.

4. Findings of Fact for General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) ( Highland Municipal Code Section 16. 08. 030. G General plan amendments. Findings):

Based on the Findings below, the Highland City Council does herby find:
a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the general plan, or the general plan as revised 121
by the proposed amendment, and will not result in any inconsistencies within the plan:

Response: The General Plan' s vision for Providing New Housing Opportunities includes both Low Density ( LD) Residential and Planned Development ( PD) uses to " Continue the innovative use of land resources and development ofa variety of housing types and sizes within the City by using the Planned Development designation". The proposed General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) to change the land use designations from Low Density (LD) Residential to Planned Development PD) will help satisfy Goal 2. 3 of the General Plan with the construction of this 79- unit single family community as it will achieve superior design and create a more desirable living environment. Under the current Low Density Designation, the site could only permit an estimated 49 units maximum. The Project promotes Project -specific, flexible development standards and the framework of a site specific development plan. The Project complies with the applicable provisions of the Highland General Plan Land Use Element, Housing Element and Community Design Element for low and medium density residential development within a Planned Development ( PD) Zone including design, building material, hardscape, and site amenities are of superior quality. The General Plan Amendment and the zone change is consistent with the property to the east as it is a multi -family apartment in the Planned Development ( PD) zone. Through its increased density, the Project is an opportunity to develop entry level housing which is a goal for the Housing Element. The General Plan goals and policies relevant to the project include its inclusion in the Providing New Housing Opportunities, Ensuring Land Use Compatibility, the Housing Element, and general standards applicable to the Land Use Element, Circulation Element, and Community Design Element. The Project meets all relevant goals and policies.
b. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare.

Response: The proposed General Plan Amendment will continue to permit residential development at this site. The proposed General Plan Amendment will increase the density range from a maximum of 6 to 9. 3 dwelling units per acre. The Project will contain a gated residential community with community open space, infrastructure and modern amenities. It has been reviewed by Planning, Engineering, Building and Safety, the Fire Department and the Police Department and certain conditions of approval that are necessary and proper to safeguard and protect the public health, safety, and welfare have been implemented.

That being the case, the approval of a General Plan Amendment for the 122
proposed Project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare.
c. The proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes and intent of this title, unless such amendment proposes to change, supplement, or alter any part of this title, whereas, said amendment must be consistent with all of the applicable sections including these findings.

Response: The Project includes a change of land use designation from Low Density ( LD) Residential to Planned Development ( PD) designation which allows any density that is compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses as determined through the development review process.

Both the current and proposed land use allows for residential development; however, the proposed land use for Planned Development allows the developer some flexibility in the design of the Project to ensure creation of a cohesive development. The proposed land use designation, as specified within the General Plan, allows for the type of development proposed and changing the land use from Medium Density Residential to Planned Development is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Land Use section of the General Plan.
d. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed amendment are insignificant or there are overriding considerations which outweigh the potential impacts.

Response: An Initial Study was prepared for the Project and potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geological and soils, hazards and hazardous material, noise, transportation and traffic, and tribal cultural resources were identified. The Project design features and Project -specific mitigation measures have been included to reduce said impacts to below a level of significance and the list of measures has been included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP). Based upon the Findings of the Initial Study and adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Project will not have a significant impact upon the environment.

5. Based on the Findings and Conclusions set forth above, the Highland City Council approves General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) as shown on Exhibit 2. The City Clerk is hereby authorized to take any action necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution.

NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the Highland City Council as follows:

Section 1. Findings and Intent.

The Highland City Council finds that all of the facts set forth herein above are true and correct.

Section 2. General Plan Consistency Finding.
128
The proposed Zone Change is being considered concurrently with a General Plan Amendment seeking to change both the General Plan and Zoning designations from Single -Family ( R- 1) Residential/ Low Density ( LD) Residential to Planned Development ( PD). Both Single Family Residential R- 1) and Planned Development ( PD) allow for single-family residential development, however, Planned Development ( PD) promotes project - specific, flexible development standards. Section 16. 12. 010 of the Highland Municipal Code, Planned Development ( PD) allows projects to set standards for density of residential uses and establishes regulations which implement those goals, objectives and policies which provides for superior development by allowing a greater degree of design and land use flexibility within the framework of a site specific development plan. The Project, as proposed, will have a General Plan and Zoning Designation of Planned ( PD) and its design features meet the goal of superior design. The development is a gated small -lot single family development with enhanced landscaping, shared recreation facilities including turf play areas, shaded play structures for various ages, barbeques and passive open space. The community will have a cohesive architecture, private roads and pleasing community design thus achieving consistency with the Planned Development ( PD) designation.

Section 3. Zone Change.

The Applicant is seeking to develop a 79- unit single family community at the proposed site. Its current Single Family Residential ( R- 1) zoning designation does not permit this density. Because the site is located a street with similar use and density, the Applicant is seeking to change the Zoning designation from Single Family ( R- 1) Residential to Planned Development PD), which would allow a 79- unit single family community upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

Section 4. Findings of Fact for Zone Change ( ZC 24-001) ( Highland Municipal Code Section 16. 08. 040 Amendments to zoning districts and other provisions).

Based on the Findings below, the Highland City Council does herby find:
a. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the municipal code, and will not result in any inconsistencies within the municipal code:

Response: The zone change would result in the site being designated Planned Development ( PD). The Project proposes implementation of a planned development. The subdivision of land to create 79 numbered lots, with common areas complies with the development standards specified within the planned development and is compatible with the adjacent single- family and multi -family neighborhoods. This type of development is desirable for the community and consistent with the proposed land use designation of Planned Development ( PD) which 129
allows any density that is compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses as determined through the development review process.

The request for a zone change to Planned Development in conjunction with a planned development for development of a residential community would continue the current zoning pattern along Central Avenue, south of Base Line, which is predominantly residential, and would not result in an illogical land use pattern or inconsistency with the municipal code. b. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare.

Response: The proposed Zone Change will continue to permit residential land development at the site. The current zone, R- 1, would have permitted a single- family residential subdivision at a maximum of 6. 0 dwelling units per acre and the proposed zone change will allow the same use, but at a reduced lot size with an overall density of 9. 3 dwelling units per acre. The increased density will be offset by shared open space, recreation and landscape parkways. The Project will meet all other development standards and public infrastructure as prescribed by the Highland Municipal Code and City Guidelines and Procedures. It will not result in adverse effects to the public health, safety or welfare. c. The proposed zone change is consistent with the purposes and intent of this title, unless such amendment proposes to change, supplement, or alter any part of this title, whereas, said zone change must be consistent with all of the applicable sections including these findings.

Response: As indicated above, the Project includes a change of zone from Single -Family District ( R- 1) to Planned Development. Both the current zoning and proposed zoning allow for residential uses; however, the proposed zoning allows the developer some flexibility in the design of the Project to ensure creation of a cohesive development. The proposed zoning designation, as specified within Section 16. 12. 010 of the Highland Municipal Code, allows for the type of development proposed and changing the zone from Single -Family District ( R- 1) to Planned Development is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Land Use and Development Chapter of the Highland Municipal Code.

There are no inconsistencies with other sections of the Municipal Code. d. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed zone change are insignificant or there are overriding considerations which outweigh the potential impacts.

Response: The Project site is adjacent to existing single-family and multifamily residential development to the east, west, and to the south. The site contains a single-family residence and small accessory structures from past ranching activities. The Initial Study prepared for the project analyzed the potential for environmental impacts and all topics were found to have either no impact or a less than significant impact with 130
mitigation incorporated. The Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporated mitigation measures to reduce any potential impacts to a less than significant level and, therefore; the proposed project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage.

Section 5. Environmental Review - CEQA Compliance
An Initial Study was prepared for the Project and potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, tribal/ cultural resources, geology and soils, paleontological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and noise were identified. Project specific mitigation measures have been included to reduce said impacts to below a level of significance and the list of measures have been included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP).

A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) was circulated through the California State Clearinghouse and made available for public comment between July 9, 2024 and August 7, 2024. The Notice was mailed to surrounding property owners within 300 feet as well as interested agencies and parties at their request. The Notice was also posted on the City's website, outside City Hall, the Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center, and Fire Station # 1. The Notice was also published in the San Bernardino Sun, a newspaper of general circulation.

Based upon the Findings of the Initial Study and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Project will not have a significant impact upon the environment.

Concurrently with this Ordinance, the City Council is adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this Project.

4. Findings of Fact for Conditional Use Permit ( CUP 23- 010) ( Highland Municipal Code Section 16. 08. 050. E. Conditional Use Permits, Findings):

Based on the Findings below, the Highland City Council herby finds:
a. The proposed use is permitted within the subject district pursuant to the provisions of this section and complies with all of the applicable provisions of this title; and is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the Highland General Plan, and the applicable development policies and standards of the city.
137
Response: Approval of the subject Conditional Use Permit is contingent upon the concurrent approval of General Plan Amendment (GPA 24-001) to change the land use designation of the site to Planned Development PD). A 79- unit single family dwelling community, such as the one proposed, is permitted within the General Plan' s Planned Development PD) zone and land use designation. Any proposed development within the Planned Development ( PD) General Plan land use designation is required to be processed through the use of a conditional use permit, planned development, or a development plan approved for the site. The General Plan requires that PD developments be of superior development by allowing a greater degree of design and land use flexibility withing the framework of the site -specific development plan.

The Project complies with the applicable provisions of the Highland General Plan Land Use Element, Housing Element and Community Design Element for medium density residential development within a Planned Development ( PD) Zone including design, building material, hardscape, and site amenities are of superior quality. The General Plan Amendment and the zone change is consistent with the property to the east as it is a multi -family apartment in the Planned Development ( PD) zone. The Project is an opportunity to develop entry level housing which is a goal for the Housing Element. The General Plan goals and policies relevant to the Project include its inclusion in the Providing New Housing Opportunities, Ensuring Land Use Compatibility, the Housing Element, and general standards applicable to the Land Use Element, Circulation Element, and Community Design Element. The Project meets all relevant goals and policies.
b. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be established or located.

Response: Approval of Zone Change ( ZC 24- 001) is required concurrent with approval of the subject Conditional Use Permit and will change the zoning designation from Single -Family Residential ( R- 1) to Planned Development ( PD). The PD zoning designation would allow for the development of a small -lot single family housing community with a density of 9. 3 dwelling units per acre, as proposed. The surrounding neighborhood includes single-family neighborhoods to the west and south and multi -family community to the east on the opposite side of Central Avenue. The development density of the Project is consistent with its surroundings. This Project is comprised of detached single-family dwellings, making it most similar to the properties that are contiguous to its boundaries.

The proposed housing community would be overseen by a Homeowners Association ( HOA) which would govern the maintenance of the area that includes a street tree program. All would provide a uniformed and manicure look to the neighborhood. If the General Plan Amendment is approved, the Project will be located within the Planned Development 138
PD) General Plan land use designation, allowing the applicant to propose project -specific land use and development standards. The Project' s site plan, overall landscape plan, building elevations and conceptual grading plan meets the District' s requirements for residential uses mandated by Highland Municipal Code Chapter 16. 16 Residential Districts, 16. 52 Parking regulations, and other relevant sections with some flexibility given to lot size and building setbacks. On -site and off - site improvements proposed as part of the Project will meet all applicable standards and provide a safe and efficient environment for the residents and surrounding residential neighborhood, with the imposition of the conditions of approval, the site is physical suitable for the type of developments proposed. Therefore, the proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in which it is to be established or located.
c. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use or development which is proposed.

Response: This site is in suburban area with a low -density single-family residential to the south, and to the west, General Commercial ( CG) to the north, and multi -family Planned Development (PD) residential to the east. The site itself is 8. 31 acres and is improved with one single- family home. The proposed use as a 79- unit single-family residential development that yields a density of approximately 9. 3 units to the acre which is compliant with the Project plans and associated Planned Development standards, once approved. The site is designed to include sidewalks, common areas, gathering space, two -car garages for each unit as well as guest parking, there is adequate circulation and infrastructure to serve the residents. There are no issues related to geotechnical, hydrology, flooding, fire protection, storm water, soils and hazards that would prohibit medium density residential development at the site.
d. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure public health and safety.

Response: The existing water, public utilities and services for the Project are available to serve the proposed use and ensure public health and safety. Additionally, staff sent out project notices to the different public utility companies and they did not have any comments regarding not being able to provide adequate services for the Project site. e. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvements in the vicinity.

Response: The proposed residential development use will be compliant with Highland Municipal Code, Uniform Fire and Building Codes. Each public safety and utility provider has been given an opportunity to 139
comment and condition the project. The necessary permits will be required prior to and during construction. Therefore, the Project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties and improvement in the vicinity. f. The proposed use would not result in a significant effect on the environment.

Response: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State and Local CEQA Guidelines, the City of Highland is the Lead Agency. As such, the City oversaw preparation of an Initial Study, which was made available for public review from July 9, 2024 to August 9. 2024.

The Initial Study finds that either no impact or less than significant impacts would be associated with the issues of Aesthetics, Agricultural and Forestry Resources, Energy,
Hydrology and Water Quality,
Population/ Housing, Public Services,
Utilities and Services Systems.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
Land Use and Planning,
and Recreation, Wildfire, and
The Initial Study also finds that potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural/ tribal resources, geological and soils, hazards and hazardous material, noise, transportation and traffic were identified and require the implementation of mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate document for this project and will be adopted concurrently with the Conditional Use Permit.

6. Based on the Findings and Conclusions set forth above, the Highland City Council approves Conditional Use Permit ( CUP 23- 010) for a development consisting of a 79 single-family lots and common areas on a 8. 3 acre site.

All improvements will be completed subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto and the development plans incorporated by reference.

APPLICANT: DSMG Investments, LLC, Anacapa DG
A. RECITALS
On March 18, 2024, the Applicant submitted an application for Design Review Application ( DRA 24- 003) for the Site Plan, Building Elevations, Grading Plan and Conceptual Landscape Plan pertaining to the development of 79 singlefamily lots and common areas located on the west side of Central Avenue, approximately 400 feet south of Base Line. Related entitlements include General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) and Zone Change ( ZC 24- 001) to change the land use and zoning designation from Low Density ( LD) Residential/ Single- Family ( R- 1) Residential to Planned Development ( PD), Conditional Use Permit ( CUP 23- 010), and Tentative Tract Map No. 20693 TTM 24- 001) to subdivide three ( 3) parcels into seventy-nine ( 79) plus common areas. The aforementioned entitlements will be referred to collectively as "the Project."

2. The site is located on approximately 8. 31 acres located on the west side of Central Avenue between Base Line and 9th Street. Assessor Parcel Numbers 1192- 341- 11, 1192- 361- 45 and 1192- 361- 47, are within the City's Single - Family ( R- 1) Residential Zoning and Low Density ( LD) Residential General Plan Land Use Designations.

3. Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) and State and Local CEQA Guidelines, the City of Highland is the Lead Agency, and is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether to approve the Project. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared and circulated in accordance with state and local law to be considered by the City Council at the October 8, 2024 public hearing.

4. On August 20, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Highland, conducted a Public Hearing on the subject Project, concluded the Hearing on that date, and adopted Resolution No. 24-021, recommending the City Council approve Design Review Application ( DRA 24- 003).

5. On October 8, 2024, the Highland City Council conducted a Public Hearing on the subject Project and concluded the Hearing on that date. 168

6. All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

B. RESOLUTION
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the Highland City Council as follows:

The Highland City Council finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part " A" of this Resolution, are true and correct.

2. Environmental Review - CEQA Compliance
a. An Initial Study was prepared for the Project and potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, tribal/ cultural resources, geology and soils, paleontological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, transportation, tribal cultural resources, and noise were identified. Project specific mitigation measures have been included to reduce said impacts to below a level of significance and the list of measures have been included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP). b. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( MND) was circulated through the California State Clearinghouse and made available for public comment between July 9, 2024 and August 7, 2024. The Notice was mailed to surrounding property owners within 300 feet as well as interested agencies and parties at their request. The Notice was also posted on the City' s website, outside City Hall, the Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center, and Fire Station # 1. The Notice was also published in the San Bernardino Sun, a newspaper of general circulation.

C. Based upon the Findings of the Initial Study and adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the Project will not have a significant impact upon the environment. Concurrently with this Resolution, the City Council is adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this Project.

4. Findings of Fact for Design Review Application ( DRA 24-003) ( Highland Municipal Code Section 16. 08. 090. E Design review, Findings):
169
Based on the Findings below, the Highland City Council hereby finds:
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan or Specific Plan.

Response: Approval of General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) is required concurrent with the subject Design Review Application. This action will change the land use designation to Planned Development PD). Within the PD District, all residential uses are considered appropriate. The General Plan requires the Project be processed with a Conditional Use Permit or similar entitlement, which is being accomplished through the concurrent application of Conditional Use Permit ( CUP 23- 010). The Project must achieve a superior design which it has done through its inclusion of a gated entrance, embellished landscaping, uniform architecture and street lined right-of-way, and passive and active recreational amenities. The overall intensity of the Project has been analyzed and found consistent with the surrounding community and forecasted future development to the east where there is potential development of multi -family housing within the PD Zone. b. That the proposed use is in accordance with the objectives of Title 16, Land Use and Development of the City of Highland Municipal Code, and the purposes of the land use district in which the site is located.

Response: Concurrent approval of Zone Change ( ZC 24- 001) is required for approval of the subject Design Review Application. The Planned Development ( PD) Zone District designation allows for residential developments per Section 16. 12. 010 of the Highland Municipal Code.

Uses within a Planned Development (PD) District shall be established by a conditional use permit, planned development, or a development plan approved for the site. A Conditional Use Permit is utilized for this project.

Through CUP 24- 010, the project establishes customized development standards in keeping with the overarching policies of the General Plan, Municipal Code and surrounding neighborhood. The proposed seventynine ( 79) unit single-family community falls within that allowed land use as enumerated in the Project' s Plot Plan. The Building Elevations and Conceptual Landscape Plan meet the City' s standards for quality architectural treatments, varied and multi -tier landscaping, and harmonious and attractive development through varied setbacks, twostory embellishments, decorative block walls and community recreation facilities.
c. That the proposed use is in compliance with city design and landscape standards and criteria.
170
Response: The proposed use is in compliance with city design and landscape standards and criteria because the development will be required to initiate the process to establish a funding mechanism acceptable to the City prior to occupancy for maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping in the common areas and right- of-way and frontage along Central Avenue, and the water quality basin. The Project' s residential developments shall be required to provide the costs for maintenance. The homeowners will be responsible for maintaining the landscaping on the interior sides and the rear of their own individual property. The Project will meet the design guidelines/ criteria of the Conditional Use Permit by providing three architectural styles, Spanish, Craftsman, and Prairie architectural styles for the residential development. The Project is within the Planned Development District and is thus expected to have a superior design. In addition to Municipal Code development standards, the Project' s site plan, and building elevations were scrutinized to ensure that the building heights, massing, pedestrian travel, open space are of high quality.
d. That the proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or will not be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity of the site.

Response: This Project was subject to an Initial Study as part of the CEQA review process. As such, the City oversaw preparation of an Initial Study, which was made available for public review from July 9, 2024 to August 7, 2024. The Initial Study found that potential impacts to air quality, biological resources, tribal/ cultural resources, geological and soils, hazards and hazardous material, noise, transportation and traffic require the implementation of mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was prepared for this Project and will be adopted concurrently with the Conditional Use Permit, Design Review Application, General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Tentative Tract Map.

The project is of similar residential use as neighboring properties and is consistent with the surrounding uses. The Project will result in new construction and infrastructure improvements in the vicinity of the site including new curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm drain connections, water and sanitary sewer connections, water quality features, the undergrounding of electrical lines, landscape parkways within the public right- of-way an aesthetically pleasing residential development compliant with the General Plan and the project's adopted Specific Plan. The project will be an asset to the surrounding community.
171
The 79 single- family lots will be in compliance with Municipal, Fire & Building codes. Each public safety division of the City has reviewed the Project and provided relevant Conditions of Approval that will be adopted by resolution.

5. Based on the Findings and Conclusions set forth above, the Highland City Council approves Design Review Application ( DRA 24- 003). All improvements will be completed subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

8. Findings of Fact for Tentative Tract Map No. 20693 ( TTM 24- 001):

Based on the Findings below, the Highland City Council does hereby find:
a. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans as specified in Section 65451.

Response: The Tentative Tract Map 20693 as designed and conditioned is consistent with the Highland General Plan. The Project will ensure that the new development will be " designed in a manner that preserves the quality of life in existing neighborhoods" as described in General Plan Goal 2. 2, Policy 3. The development will be complimentary in density to the adjacent single family and multifamily uses. It will have aesthetically pleasing landscape buffers along its frontage, decorative block walls and wrought iron gate, limiting the development' s entry to and from Central Avenue and not disrupting existing traffic patterns. The Project meets the policies established for Goal 2. 3, to " Provide a variety of urban, suburban and rural housing opportunities that are adequate to meet the City' s share of regional housing needs." Specifically, the Project meets Policies 3- 7, by maintaining residential areas that provide for suburban lifestyles including ownership of single- family housing. It has appropriate amenities including shared active and passive open space encouraging community cohesiveness. It utilizes the Planned Development ( PD) designation through the Conditional Use Permit process, allowing innovative design and land use. The Project exemplifies Goal 2. 6 to, " Maintain an organized pattern of land use that minimizes conflicts between adjacent land uses." The site is a good balance between the existing low density single- family developments to the west and south and the multi -family developments and zoned vacant parcels to the east.
b. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans.
226
Response: The proposed design and improvements shown are consistent with the General Plan and the Specific Plan. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element in that it furthers the City' s efforts to plan for the future growth, helps to maintain a mix of urban and suburban character, creates places for people to live and recreate, enhances the existing neighborhoods while providing ne housing opportunities and ensures land use compatibility. The project is consistent with General Plan Goal 2. 3 Providing New Housing Opportunities Policy No. 1 to " provide a broad range of, and encourage innovation in, housing types that incorporate high quality design and construction", Policy No. 4 " ensure that new residential developments provide appropriate community amenities, including common open space and recreation areas", and Policy No. 7 " require that Planned Development project provide a greater level of community amenities and cohesiveness, achieved superior design and create a more desirable living environment than could be achieved through conventional subdivision design and requirements." The project is consistent with the Housing element in that it increases the number of units permitted at this site and there is no " Net Loss", consistent with program 24 and while it will result in the loss on one unit, it will result in 79 new units, compliant with the Circulation Element as it will fully improve Central Avenue along its frontage and add a decorative landscape parkway and will also underground existing electrical lines.

The Planned Development ( PD) is residential in nature, in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and through the Conditional Use Permit process has adopted appropriate development standards and site amenities. Lawful Conditions of Approval have been applied to the map to ensure compliance with General Plan, Specific Plan and Development Code provisions. The development is a gated small -lot single family development with enhanced landscaping, shared recreation facilities including turf play areas, shaded play structures for various ages, barbeques and passive open space. The community will have a cohesive architecture, private roads and pleasing community design thus achieving consistency with the Planned Development ( PD) designation.
c. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.

Response: The Project site is an urbanized area. The northern parcel currently has a single-family dwelling and the two parcels to the south are vacant surrounded on three side by residential developments and has minimal slopes. It has been subject to numerous studies that address relevant issues including geotechnical, hydrology, potential flooding, fire protection, storm water, soils and hazards. These reports address the suitability of the Project site for the type of development contemplated by Tentative Tract Map No. 20693. Based on the location 227
of the Project, the site is physically suitable for the development of this Project.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

Response: This Project site will be of a suitable size to accommodate the respective residential development. The Planning Development authorizes a maximum of 79 dwelling units and supports the necessary right-of-way, water quality and recreation features. The Planned Development and the City' s Zoning Ordinance established design requirements, developmental standards, and other regulations that will accommodate development at a density that is physically suitable for the Project site, most clearly aligned with R- 2 multi -family zoning standards. e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Response: The Site lies in an urbanized area and has been vacant for many years. The Project is residential in nature and its impacts with respect to all CEQA categories have been considered. The potential environmental impacts were analyzed in the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration and circulated for public review as required by state and local law. Mitigation measures have been established and the project will be built and operated in compliance with environmental findings and compliance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ( MMRP).
f. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.

Planning Commission Regular Meeting
August 20, 2024
Agenda Item No. 4
Conditional Use Permit ( CUP 23-010) for the development of a 79- unit small lot single family community: Design Review Application ( DRA 24- 003) for the related Site Plan, Building Elevations Landscaping and Grading Plan: General Plan Amendment ( GPA 24- 001) and Zone Change ( ZC 24- 001) from Low Density/ Single- Family Residential ( LD/ R7 1) to Planned Development ( PD) and Tentative Tract Map No. 20693 ( TTM 24- 001) to subdivide of 3 parcels into 79 single family lots and common areas. ( Location: 7394 Central Avenue) ( Owner: Coffee Family Trust)
Assistant Planner Martinez presented the staff report,
Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated I have three additional clarifying items for you based on what you have seen in front of you. Design Review Application DRA 24- 003) is a single page during duplication of the agenda. We omitted one of the pages of engineering conditions, so it is between page 181 and 182, engineering conditions 25- 30. There is a discussion about how there is not a lot of detailing on the park amenities, staff had recommended that come back to you at a future date, however the Applicant would prefer to have a concept approved at this level. In front of you is an 11x17 color plan.

Commissioner Miller stated there is a looks like an existing storm drain system that runs along the boundary of the project. The existing site looks to discharge to some combination alleyway road and drains west. Do we do we know if that existing string drain system is capable of handling the additional flows being introduced at this location? Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated that storm drain that goes westerly on Crest Street does pick up Central Avenue and the east side of Central Avenue from housing development Jeffrey Court. There is a catch basin on both sides, but it was anticipated designed storm drain system for the drainage easterly to west, and south at Central Avenue.

Commissioner Miller stated it looks like we will probably be introducing flow a little bit earlier to that storm drain. As a part of the process of the drainage report, would the city be requesting analysis of that existing line to verify capacity? Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated we have had the study completed.

Chair Hamerly stated in the staff report condition No. 14 addressed the recreational facility and it has to do with California Public Resources Code. Is there another condition that addressed that facility? It was on page 176.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated it is on page 175, staff removed some conditions that messed up the numbering.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated I am representing the applicant team, DMSG. I am happy to be here and present this project to you. We put together slides just 231
to show you this park area that we had worked on and thought that might be helpful for you in your consideration of the project. We been working with staff on the design of the park and staff had had requested an amenity package and we had talked about whether that was a half -court basketball or a tot lot. We drew this concept plan with a combination of open turf as well as tot lot for two different age groups. There is still a shade structure for seating and barbecue and the tot lot would have shade over them. There is a gazebo kind of a shade structure over the play equipment allowing for greater use of the play equipment especially when it gets hot and during the summer months. There are a couple conditions that I think we have resolved completely. One of them was the was coming back to the Planning Commission on the on the park area. The other conditions had to do with some engineering issues. That referenced ten additional feet along Central Avenue and I think we had talked about that being actually part of the right of way. Our plans show a curb adjacent sidewalk as opposed to a meandering sidewalk. There is a condition that talks about a meandering sidewalk along Central Avenue and our recommendation would be a curb adjacent sidewalk with about four and -a half feet of landscaping within the right of way. Otherwise, we accept all of the conditions and look forward bringing this project to City of Highland. There are two conditions, one is No. 33 on page 182 and condition No. 14 which is on page 180. Condition No. 14 references a 6 foot meandering sidewalk and condition No. 33 stated a 10 foot wide- minimum landscape easement across Central Avenue frontage in addition to the required street right of way. We are dedicating additional right of way and improving the half section of Central Avenue which is currently not improved. I think what the concept is that we have we have 11 feet between face of curb and the edge right of way, and that area that would include the sidewalk as well as landscaping.

Chair Hamerly stated condition No. 33 is 10. 5 half feet from back of curb to the face of the development wall, which is also the rear yard wall.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated correct.

Chair Hamerly stated maybe you can answer item 34 references the required off site property interests.. Are you aware of what those are?
Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated there are no offsite acquisitions, which is necessary.

Chair Hamerly stated I did not see any, that is why I am asking you.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated I was not too worried about that condition where we are all self- contained. We do have the secondary access that is off of Central Avenue, however there is no off site acquisition that is required. Regarding the drainage question with the basin, basically the way the system' s been designed is that drain that goes into Crest Street is part of the master plan of drainage through San Bernardino County. We looked at the planned queues going into that drainage system, our detention basin detains run off from the developed condition to match the design cues going into that system that was in the master plan. We had very good infiltration rates in the basin, and we are satisfying our water quality requirements through infiltration.

Public Speaker Karen Harnick stated I am speaking for the Harnick Family Trust. We wonder what direction the City of Highland is taking, and it is high density, so I have that one right. It looks like 2/ 3 of the plans are to be 4 bedroom houses and if 2/ 3 of the houses 232
are 4 bedrooms, which is 52 houses with two people in each bedroom that is possibility of nine people in each house. So, 9 x 52 is 468 people, plus the other third of the plans being 3 bedroom, would be 27 houses with the possibility of seven people in each house. 7 x 27 is 189 people, plus the 468 means possibility of 657 people living there. Possibly. How many of these people will be drivers and needing to go to work, school or somewhere at the same time every morning and all returning home at the same time about every evening. Even if you cut that in half, the rest of your children are not of driving age yet.

That is possibly over 300 cars trying to get in and out twice a day at about the same time.

All this traffic will pour out through one entrance and exit onto Central Avenue creating everyday congestion like we have never known. It looks like there might be a possibility of another entry and exit on the west side of the Coffee Trust Property, which is Bruce Street, and it does dead end to the back of the Coffee Trust Property. There is a possibility of losing two of the proposed houses to open up Bruce Street to a second entrance and exit.

This could help relieve the congestion and Bruce Street leads over to the Cunningham Park. The proposed emergency exit also enters onto Central Avenue, the same street that is already overcrowded. There are other possible emergency exits, but they exit onto private property. You can' t have an emergency exit there, although the road does end there of the newly the proposed properties. There is no emergency exit off Crest Street. I am looking at the legend on the first diagram in the staff report, not the new diagram that was provided for tonight, 3/4 of an inch and is 60 feet. I guessed that the proposed park in this proposal will be something like 60 x 60 feet. Is that a big enough area to entertain all the kids or adults? What does the proposed development add to this community other than money, high density housing, high density population, and congestion. I think that this proposal will overburden our community, and I think too value our property. We as a family do not want any part of high density housing, this is where our families have grown up. From six houses to 9. 5 houses per acre is a huge increase and it is just too big of a stretch. Also, there are nine extra parking places for the Junior Accessory Dwelling Units JADUs) and that is not a lot. I think that what it is going to cause is a lot of visitors and family members who are visiting the new homes are going to be parking out on Central Avenue and when you pull out, you will not be able to see because all the cars will be parking out there. So, I it is going to cause a lot of street parking. I hope I am wrong, but you for listening to me tonight.

Public Speaker stated I am Mark, and this is my dad, Ron. We live on Central Avenue, right next door to the property that they want to build the houses on. My dad' s concern is safeness. He has equipment and backyard. We were all kids at one time. You see equipment you are going to climb the fence; you are going to go back there. Also, privacy.

He has been there for 51_ years; he has had that empty field next to him. Now they are going to put two- story houses, right? We are concerned the wall not being high enough for privacy. there. He has been there for 51 years and have had no problems. There' s cars constantly in the street parking there, we get 50 cars and where my dad' s property is, the sidewalk ends right at his property. The fence next door comes out about 8 feet. There is going to be more cars, more traffic, so if they can do something where you cannot park on Central Avenue. People are driving 70 miles an hour down Central Avenue, they need to put some speed bumps or something. I know they cannot for like the fire trucks, but it is crazy on that street. I moved in there when I was 13 years old. I have seen a lot of changes because of the traffic. There is a fence that sticks out by my dad' s property, and you cannot see cars coming. When we pull out of my dad' s driveway, we creep out looking north because the you can' t see. They need to do something about the traffic on that street and like she said there is going to be more traffic. There are going to be two- story houses right here and they are going to look right into his living room window. He sits in his chair 233
because he has had a stroke, and he will not be able to see the mountains through his window. This is going to block his view. If we can get higher walls or trees and make it nice. It would help if there is another entrance or exit somewhere else, maybe on the backside that would help. He can see the casino from his backyard, all of that is going to be taken away from him. Thank you for listening.

Chair Hamerly asked the commissioners if they were in favor to continue the public hearing to another date or continue the meeting tonight.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson Mr. Chair, members of the Commission, we have all been here since 6: 00 p. m. this evening. We have been very patient and with all due respect, the prior applicant was not as prepared as they should have been. It became more of a workshop than actually a public hearing. l do not think it is fair for us to receive the burden and the punishment of the prior applicant' s inability to have architecture prepared for you and to change plans right at the last minute. We have worked very diligently to be prepared. We would like to continue through this public hearing so that we can move on to the City Council
Planning Commissioners voted to continue the meeting.

Commissioner Miller asked if there was a traffic study on those developed to support the change?
Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated yes, there was a traffic analysis that was conducted. The traffic study is done based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers, which they conducted a trip generation rate per dwelling unit. This was done based off the latest 11 th edition. It is 9: 73 average daily trips per dwelling unit and multiply that by the 79 dwelling units, and that is the number of trips that are being generated by the proposed project.

The traffic study looked at both the AM and PM peak hours. There are 55 trips in the morning, and 74 trips in the evening. Central Avenue and Base Line it is currently B in the morning and B in the PM. It stays as B in the morning, and it goes to C in the PM.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated this is on page 151.

Commissioner Miller asked was there any consideration given to adding an access point on Bruce Street?
Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated we looked at that initially and we had conversations ` with staff. ;This is a gated community and having a second entry gate is problematic from operation of the gates as well as turn around. We saw Bruce Street as being an exit only gate. The concern is that at the end of Bruce Street often times cars parked there and can block the gate. Staff really encouraged us to keep access off of Central Avenue and not create a condition where that gate could be blocked by somebody parking.

Chair Hamerly stated regarding the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, on page

20. This stated proposed use would not impair the integrity or character of the district in which is to be established or located. In the response it assumed the fact that we are changing to Planned Development ( PD), which does not address the established 234
character of the neighborhood. What is the justification for the increased density? The Planned Development is the issue. We are changing from a Residential 1 ( R1) to a PD.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater asked are you referring to B in the General Plan or B in the Conditional Use Permit ( CUP)? What page? Chair Hamerly stated page 20 item B.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated page 20 B are the findings for the CUP. The resolution will be broken down into a number of resolutions that the City Council will consider as well as the ordinance for the Zone Change. It has to go in order and the environmental has to go first.

Chair Hamerly stated I did not see real rationale, if we are asking for a 55% increase, which is achievable solely because of the PD, what are we getting? It references some vague standards like superior design and amenities. Amenities could be anything but what are we getting for that sense of community that allows for increased density? These are all two- story residences within the neighborhood that is predominantly a single story neighborhood and that is when we start talking about context and neighborhood character.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated we can build on these findings and improve those before they go to City Council
Chair Hamerly stated the Homeowner Association ( HOA) does a lot towards improving the overall character and quality of the community. This project is a lot of density with minimal benefit. The park is 60 x 60 and for 79 homes, which is pushing maximum density.

Chair Hamerly'' stated I know we have different floor plans, and we have mirror image orientations, but along each respective segment of the street, all the driveways and plans are repetitive. The interval of the Lot width, there is a driveway, a tree, and a pop out. Since the lots are so tight, if some were reversed or flipped it allows the driveways to be separated and it gives the apparent distance between front doors.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated we have talked about doing is taking some of those and reversing them, so the driveways are next to each other and there is a larger opening between the next set of driveways.

Chair Hamerly stated the elevation details are expended on the front facade and very little wraps around the side., ' n those instances, such as the two parcels that flank the main entry gate and the four parcels that are adjacent to the community park, if we could consider two or three sided architecture and have the front facade elements wrap around the side.

Chair Hamerly asked do they have fences here? ( Pointing to the PowerPoint) Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson asked do you have the fence plan that has the color pallet? it is hard to read without the color, but there are fences along here. ( Pointing to the PowerPoint)
235
Chair Hamerly stated I completely missed that, I was reading it as side yard, community landscaping that was parkway for the street. Where is the fence? Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson pointed to the PowerPoint.

Chair Hamerly stated I was reading that the yard was separated, and the fence spanned between all those houses.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated there is no fence, you are right.

Chair Hamerly stated the feature trees (Holly Oak) at the most prominent areas in the site, I have nothing against it, they are beautiful trees. The only concern is, it has 24 inch box and those are pretty slow growing trees. I recommend particularly at the main entry if we increase the size of that.

Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated yes. The irony is the smaller container size will make the plant grow faster.

Chair Hamerly stated I have a comment on the elevation, the Prairie style house, the eaves, and roof slopes are very consistent and one of the defining features of prairie style is broad eaves and very shallow hips. Would you consider flattening that roof out, and extending the eaves so it reads more as Prairie?
Representative' s Architect Jeff Addison stated one of the challenges that we have the narrower homes like this is the forced air unit that is up in the attic. We have that challenge when you start shallowing up the roof pitch a little bit more, we can certainly look at it.

Vice Chair Thomas stated regarding the color palettes on page 247, 1 did not care for the colors on the Prairie style homes.

Chair Hamerly stated the brickand roof look similar toeach other. Representative' sArchitect Jeff Addison stated we could look at those materials and make sure the brick and roof colors are different. Chair
Hamerly asked what types of equipment areyou thinking forthe tot lots? Applicant' sRepresentative Peter Carlson stated there are different play equipment for different age groups. We are going to go through with those additional designs, work with staff, and make sure itis age appropriate. There are a combinationf climbing equipment, slides, and swings that helps differentiate someofthe older kids from some ofthe younger kids.

Vice
Chair Thomas stated I am finishing aproject right now at my job and itis a playground that is for all abilities children, so including some accessible features for those that have disabilities as well. Maybe itis something that you could consider. Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson stated absolutely. Vice
Chair Thomas asked were you planning to use rubberized surface on the playground? 236
Applicant' s Representative Peter Carlson yes, the rubberized surface does get integrated and other surfaces surrounding that.

Chair Hamerly stated regarding the Conditions of Approval, we are reviewing the community amenity, and we are striking condition No. 12, is that correct? Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated yes.

Chair Hamerly stated on Engineering Condition of Approval No. 14, we had a discussion on the previous application, however this mentions the six foot wide, meandering sidewalk.

The applicant stated they proposed a 4. 5 foot wide sidewalk within the right of way. What is the standard for the sidewalk that is presently on Central Avenue? Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated the curb adjacent sidewalk would be six foot wide and a meandering would be a 5-foot wide.

Chair Hamerly asked does the Engineering department concur with the 4. 5 foot recommendation that the applicant had suggested?
Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated 6 foot curb adjacent sidewalk, 4. 5 foot for landscaping.

Chair Hamerly stated if it is six foot curb adjacent then it would no longer be meandering, is that correct?
Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated that is correct.

Chair Hamerly stated ok we will strike meandering in condition No. 14.

Chair Hamerly stated Condition of Approval No. 33 would be modified.

Assistant Public Works Director Bennett stated yes, this would be modified and as approved by City Engineers, so we are probably going to see that planning looks at it and does not need the 10`foot landscape easement back of right of way.

Chair Hamerly asked any additional comments on this item? Conditions of Approval No. 4 and 5 as modified.

Assistant Community Development Director Stater stated just for clarification, it is best to drop that into the beginning of the recommendation because the Planning Commission only has one resolution. Staff is recommending the Planning Commission adopt the resolution recommending the City Council take the actions one through six and at the end you would state conditions as modified. I will note that on page 16 it is before General Plan Amendment, and it needs to strike City Council and change that to Planning Commission. On page 18 No. 5 zone change, change from City Council to Planning Commission. On page 22 1 am going to strike LIVID and replace that with funding mechanism acceptable to the city.

Community Development Director Mainez stated rule of order, generally the Chair does not make the motion.
237
Chair Hamerly closed the public hearing.

A MOTION was made by Chair Hamerly and seconded by Vice Chair Thomas to adopt Resolution No. 2024 - 021, recommending the City Council items one through six as modified.

9 Understanding and Approach
ERSC understands that the Project includes trailhead improvements, accessible parking and path of travel to the trailhead on Base Line Avenue, restoration of existing trails, drainage culvert improvements, and educational area improvements. The work also includes the construction of stabilized earthen walkway trails, trail grading, excavation, removal of PCC and AC, construction of ADA parking improvements, vehicular maintenance access driveway and turnaround improvements, curb and gutter, sidewalk, retaining walls, drainage culvert improvements, education side furnishings, signing/ striping, and trail guide ropes and signs. Project funding will be sourced from local and federal sources. ERSC is well versed with prevailing wage, certified payroll, department of industrial relations, and labor compliance regulations.

Funding sources
ERSC understands that a number of different funding sources will be utilized to complete the Project. OGALS funding administered through the CA Dept of Parks and Recreation has been secured to complete this work. ERSC' s team has worked to comply with the funding source requirements, including proposing the use of Aragon Geotechnical, Inc. ( AGI) to satisfy DBE requirements and preparing our fee according to Caltrans' Exhibit 10- H Fee Structure.

Project Location
The trails to be rehabilitated are located on steep slopes in the East Highlands Ranch area of the City. Access challenges for inspection staff and construction crews/ equipment will be encountered during the Project. These conditions fit well with ERSC' s inspection philosophy, as our inspectors understand that work is best observed and inspected in the field with a hands- on approach rather than in the field office or truck.

SWPPP
ERSC is planning to prepare the SWPPP for this Project, as noted in the RFR The 2022 CGP has stringent requirements that projects are subject to comply with for the construction and post -construction phases. ERSC has determined that the post -construction BMPs are not applicable and will work this into our scope of work, price, and coordination during the Project. ERSC' s offices are 8 miles from the project site. Our NPDES Inspection can be efficiently conducted in a timely fashion with little drive time.

Scope of Work
Construction Management Services
General Construction Management Services duties shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

1. Provide technical and administrative management services for the Project, coordinate and oversee all construction -related activities, maintain close liaison with the City Project Manager, and copy the City Project Manager on all correspondence.

2. Monitor the City' s NPDES Manager' s activities, including but not limited to preparing a SWPPP in accordance with the 2022 Construction General Permit, uploading the SWPPP, NO1 and other required information to the Water Board' s SMARTS website, and obtaining a WDID Number prior to starting construction. In order to adequately document that the Project does not require post -construction BMPs, ERSC will work with the City' s NPDES Manager to upload the correct documentation to SMARTS to meet the 2022 CGP requirements without implementing post -construction BMPs. It is assumed that the City will pay fees related to the required permits.

3. Conduct bi- weekly construction progress meetings, review and monitor the Contractor' s schedule, prepare weekly status reports, review and approve submittals, prepare and approve progress payments, and negotiate and prepare contract change orders.

4. Review and approve progress pay estimates. ERSC will identify variances between actual and budgeted or estimated costs and inform the City Project Manager whenever Project costs exceed the budget.
