West Lincoln Square Commercial Project (Thomas

SUBMITTED BY:
Tom Cruickshank
DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
DATE:
April 28, 2026
Item Number 14.B
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, consider the information contained in the staff report, testimony of the public, recommendations by the Planning Commission on specific components of the project, and take the following actions:
1 .
Determine the Addendum to the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for (State Clearinghouse No 2015032102) the Special Use District B Northeast Quadrant (SUD B NEQ) Specific Plan as the appropriate level of documentation to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on a determination that no new or substantially more severe impacts would result from the project, and the prior analysis contained in the original certified SUD-B NEQ EIR adequately addresses environmental impacts and subject to the applicable mitigation measures of the adopted SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (Attachment 1 and Exhibits).
2 .
Waive first reading and introduce by title only an Ordinance to approve a Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B NEQ General Development Plan (City Council Resolution No. 2019-099) amending the zoning category for “Automobile service stations, Smog Centers, not including major repair or overhaul” from Prohibited Use to Allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Attachment 2 and Exhibits). 3 .
Adopt a Resolution accepting the recommendation from the Planning Commission to approve the amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map (City Council Resolution No. 2019-104) in connection with the proposed West Lincoln Square Commercial Tentative Parcel Map. The tentative (commercial) parcel map would subdivide the 40- acre parcel into a total of 22 commercial and ancillary parcels (Attachment 3 and Exhibits).
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The 40-acre project site (Assessor’s Parcel Number 021-262-044) is zoned Commercial and designated as Community Commercial and identified as Parcel 2 in the SUD B NEQ Specific Plan area, which was approved by the City Council on May 14, 2019. The adoption of the
STAFF REPORT
315
specific plan included a certification of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse #2015032102) certifying the environmental analysis and conclusion of the specific plan’s conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approval of the General Development Plan (GDP) as the “zoning regulation” for the specific plan. The specific plan contains a mix of uses including residential, commercial, and park/open space. Since its conception and approval, development has occurred as prescribed in the specific plan, and under the zoning regulations of the SUD-B NEQ General Development Plan.
The project site is situated at the northeast corner of State Route (SR) 65 and Nelson Lane. It is bordered by both vacant and developing commercial and residential lands to the northwest, northeast and east; and vacant parcels to the south that are currently within the City border (Attachment 4). The project site has a relatively gentle slope topography with ruderal vegetation and is bordered by existing public roads, including Nelson Lane to the west and SR 65 to the south. Oakbrook Drive, located north of the site, would serve as a future collector and provide access to the project site. The project site is disturbed and routinely disked (i.e., disturbed) for vegetation management and production of hay. Currently, the project site is subject to the existing approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map that divides the site into seven commercial parcels, two landscape parcels, and one open space parcel (Attachment 3 and Exhibits). The SUD B NEQ Specific Plan currently entitles the project site for approximately 475,500 square feet of commercial development.
The project proposes a new commercial center, West Lincoln Square, with a development potential of approximately up to 245,632 square feet. The project would be anchored by an approximate 181,300 square foot major retailer and would include a mix of commercial uses with building sizes ranging from 1,600 to 10,000 square feet and a total lot coverage of 15 percent. Project features would include a major retail store and on-site fuel station, a bank with drive-thru, an oil-change center, a tire center, a second fuel station, six quick-serve restaurants (i.e., drive-thru), multi-tenant shops, a stand-alone restaurant, a carwash, and an electric vehicle charging area. The major retailer would be positioned in the southeastern portion of the site (north of SR 65), with bank, automotive, retail, and dining uses located along Nelson Lane and Oakbrook Drive (Attachment 5).
The required project entitlements include a Zone Text Amendment to the SUD B NEQ General Development Plan, an amendment to the commercial portion of an approved Tentative Parcel Map, Specific Development Plan/Development Permit, and Conditional Use Permits.
Specifically, the Zone Text Amendment proposes to amend the SUD B General Development Plan to allow Automotive Service Stations with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The amended West Lincoln Square Commercial Tentative Parcel Map proposes to divide the property into fifteen commercial parcels, seven landscape, infrastructure and drainage parcels (Attachment 3 and Exhibits).
Planning Commission Action
The City of Lincoln Planning Commission (PC) conducted a public hearing on the proposed project on Wednesday March 18, 2026
[1]
. No public comments were received on the project
during the hearing. Two written comments were received in advance of the PC hearing. The resident that provided the two written comments noted concerns related to noise, traffic, odor, light pollution, and crime; size of the commercial site and types of proposed uses; the future roundabout planned for Oakbrook Drive. Responses to the resident’s comments were provided as an attachment to the PC Staff Report and summarized within the staff report [2]
.
316
The PC expressed support of the project acknowledging the city’s need for commercial centers in the proposed project area.
The PC recommended approval of the overall project by a 7-0 vote. However, only the General Development Plan Amendment and the Tentative Parcel Map are under the authority of the City Council. The PC recommended approval of the amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map as well as the Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B NEQ General Development Plan.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As outlined, only the GDP amendment and commercial Tentative Parcel Map portions of the West Lincoln Square Commercial Development falls within the authority of the City Council.
The Zone Text Amendment to the SUD B General Development Plan involves amending the zoning category for "Automobile service stations, Smog centers, not including major repair or overhaul" from Prohibited Use to Allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project includes an oil change facility on Pad 4, located at the northeast corner of the West Lincoln Square site. Under the SUD B General Development Plan, this type of facility is categorized as an Automobile Service Station. With approval of the recommended Zone Text Amendment, the proposed use would be permitted, contingent upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed oil change facility is comparable to similar automotive service uses permitted as conditional uses under municipal code Section 18.22.030 (Conditional Uses) for commercial zoning districts, including the Firestone Autocare at the Sterling Pointe Shopping Center, as well as George's Friendly Auto Services and Lincoln Automotive located in Downtown Lincoln.
The amendment to the commercial portion of the approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map would amend the original commercial subdivision consisting of seven commercial parcels, two landscape parcels, and one open space parcel to 15 commercial parcels, seven landscape, infrastructure and drainage parcels (Attachment 3 and Exhibits). The right-of-way dedication for Oakbrook Drive, select conditions of approval, and other features of the approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map would remain in effect. As further described below, the project proposes to include reciprocal ingress, egress, parking and public utility easements across the various parcels.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
As integral components of the West Lincoln Square Commercial Development, the GDP Amendment and Commercial Tentative Parcel Map have been reviewed and verified for consistency with the applicable policies and standards of the City of Lincoln General Plan, SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and General Development Plan, and LMC Title 17 (Subdivisions).
Justification for consistency with the findings are provided below.
General Plan
The West Lincoln Square Commercial Center implements and is consistent with numerous policies of the City of Lincoln General Plan
[1]
. This is primarily achieved through project
compliance with the adopted SUD B NEQ Specific Plan and General Development Plan.
Below are the applicable policies with supporting rationale for consistency.
Economic Development Element Policy ED-2.1 – Utilize Specific Plans 317
The City shall utilize the specific planning process for future growth areas, which will allow the City to plan for long-term infrastructure needs and create large tracts of land that are attractive to developers.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project is within a commercial designated area of the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and conforms with the standards of the General Development Plan, implementing the economic policies of the specific plan.
Economic Development Element Policy ED-2.3 – Business Expansion and Attraction The City shall facilitate zoning and permit activities related to the expansion of existing businesses and the location of new businesses.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project is consistent with the zoning for the site and would obtain the appropriate permits required for development of the site as a new commercial center and businesses.
Economic Development Element Policy ED-4.3 – Attract New Businesses The City shall encourage new businesses to locate in the following areas: downtown Lincoln; along the future Highway 65 Bypass; at the Lincoln Regional Airport; and in the business park surrounding the airport.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project would introduce new commercial businesses located directly north of the SR 65 and south of the Lincoln Regional Airport.
Economic Development Element Policy ED-4.5 – Retail Market The City shall identify a range of retail development sites and opportunities in order to promote a stronger local and regional retail market which meets the needs of the growing Lincoln population and complements the Lincoln downtown.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project is retail in nature and provide a regional shopping center for local residents and visiting patrons as it will provide easy access off of SR 65.
Economic Development Element Policy ED-4.6 – Regional Commercial The City will reserve appropriately zoned property along the State Highway 65 Bypass for future regional commercial land uses such as a regional shopping center, auto mall, or other vehicle sales and services.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project site is zoned for commercial uses and would introduce a new commercial shopping center north of SR 65.
Land Use Element Policy LU-1.12 – Quality Design
Through the design review process, apply design standards that promote the use of high quality building materials, architectural and site designs, landscaping signage and amenities.
The City will continue to develop and apply design standards that result in efficient site and building designs, pedestrian friendly projects that stimulate the use of alternative modes of transportation, and a functional relationship between adjacent developments.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project has been appropriately designed consistent with the commercial architectural design theme guidelines and standards of the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and General Development Plan. The proposed designs will incorporate a variety of 318
modern decorative elements, accent colors, and architectural features to establish a cohesive and marketable thematic identity for the retail center.
Land Use Element Policy LU-3.3 - Parking & Transportation and Circulation Element Policy T-3.2 - Adequate Off-Street Parking
LU-3.3: The City shall ensure that adequate parking and access are included in approved commercial development plans. T-3.2: The City shall require the provision of adequate off- street parking in conjunction with new development. Parking shall be located convenient to new development and shall be easily accessible from the street system.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project has been designed with the appropriate amount and type of parking stalls consistent with the standards of the General Development Plan and LMC Title 18 Section 18.44.090 - Shopping Centers. As discussed above, the project would be consistent with the number of required parking stalls.
Transportation and Circulation Element Policy T-2.2 – New Development and Policy T-
2.3 – Level of Service for Local Streets and Intersections and Policy T-2.4 – Level of Service for State Highways
T-2.2: The City shall ensure that streets and highways will be available to serve new development by requiring detailed traffic studies and necessary improvements as a part of all major development proposals.
T-2.3: Strive to maintain a LOS C at all signalized intersections in the City during the p.m. peak hours. Exceptions to this standard may be considered for intersections where the city determines that the required road improvements are not acceptable (i.e., due to factors such as the cost of improvements exceeding benefits achieved, results are contrary to achieving a pedestrian design, or other factors) or that based upon overriding considerations regarding project benefits, an alternative LOS may be accepted. For purposes of this policy, City intersections along McBean Park Drive between East Avenue and G Street, and G Street between First Street and Seventh Street, are excluded from the LOS C standard, and will operate at a lower LOS.
T-2.4: The City shall coordinate with Caltrans in order to strive to maintain a minimum LOS “D” for SR 65 and SR 193.
Rationale:
Consistent. The applicant retained the professional transportation planning services of DKS Associates that identified design options for project access points and lighted intersection access to Oakbrook Drive that would meet the LOS standard in this policy.
Transportation and Circulation Element Policy T-5.9 – Pedestrian Access The City shall encourage specific plans and development plans to include design of pedestrian access that enables residents to walk from their homes to places of work, recreation and shopping.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project would incorporate pathways and internal walkways to enable nearby residential and internal pedestrian access at the site.
Public Facilities & Services Element PFS-1.3 – Conditions of Approval During the development review process, the City shall not approve new development unless the following conditions are met:
The applicant can demonstrate that all necessary infrastructure will be installed or adequately financed;
319
Infrastructure improvements are consistent with City infrastructure plans; and Infrastructure improvements incorporate a range of feasible measures that can be implemented to reduce public safety and/or environmental impacts associated with the construction, operation, or maintenance of any required improvement.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project would include installation of new required infrastructure and interconnect with existing infrastructure in the project area consistent with City regulations.
Public Facilities & Services Element PFS-2.3 – Adequate Water Supply for New Development
The City shall require the availability of an adequate water supply to be demonstrated before approving new development.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project is designed and conditioned to connect to existing water facility connections adjacent to the site.
Public Facilities & Services Element Policy PFS-3.10 – Sewer Lines for New Development
The City shall require new development to be responsible for construction of all sanitary sewer lines serving such development. Provision will be made allowing reimbursement from Third Parties, or credits against City wastewater fees (as approved by the Director of Public Works) should such lines result in an "over-sizing" for a particular development.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project is designed and conditioned to connect to existing sewer facility connections adjacent to the site.
Public Facilities & Services Element Policy PFS-4.1 – Adequate Storm Drainage Facilities, Policy PFS-4.2 – Development Requirements, and Policy PFS-4.7 – Stormwater Runoff
PFS-4.1: The City shall provide storm drainage facilities with sufficient capacity to protect the public and private property from storm water damage. The facilities will also be implemented in a manner that reduces all public safety and/or environmental impacts associated with the construction, operation, or maintenance of any required drainage improvements (i.e., drainage basins, etc.).
PFS-4.2: The City shall encourage project designs that minimize drainage concentrations and impervious coverage and avoid floodplain areas and, where feasible, be designed to provide a natural water course appearance.
Policy-4.7: The City shall require new development to provide stormwater-retention sufficient for the incremental runoff from an eight-day 100 year storm.
Rationale:
Consistent. The project would be designed to connect to existing storm water infrastructure and would include on-site drainage basins for stormwater flows.
Public Facilities & Services Element Policy PFS-5.1 – Solid Waste Collection and Policy PSF-5.2 – Waste Reduction
PSF 5.1: The City shall require solid waste collection services for existing and new developments to ensure the maintenance of health standards.
PSF 5.2: The City shall promote maximum use of solid waste reduction, recycling, and composting of wastes for a reduction in residential, commercial, and industrial waste disposal.
320
Rationale:
Consistent. The project would include onsite solid waste and recycling disposal and collection.
Lincoln Municipal Code Title 17 (Subdivision)
This application is being heard pursuant to Title 17 (Subdivisions) of the LMC regulating Subdivisions and the SUD B NEQ General Development Plan (GDP). The tentative parcel map will subdivide the project site parcel of approximately 40 acres into 22 commercial and ancillary parcels of various sizes ranging from approximately 0.24-acre to 16.33-acres. As proposed, the tentative parcel map complies with LMC Section 17.20 – Parcel Maps and the SUD B NEQ GDP. The proposed parcels anticipate inclusion of existing improvements with access off of Nelson Lane and the future Oakbrook Drive. Connection to existing public utilities (e.g., water, sewer, etc.) would occur off of Nelson Lane, west of the project.
Conditions of approval will include provisions for the property owner to provide necessary access, parking, and maintenance agreements in addition to design details of project loading docks, plazas, screenings, and basin appearances to the satisfaction of the City. The Planning Commission recommends City Council take action to adopt a resolution approving the West Lincoln Square Commercial Center Tentative Parcel Map. Standard and project-specific map conditions have been recommended for the project requiring the above-mentioned agreements to the satisfaction of the City Attorney, City Engineer, and the Community Development Director, via the Final Map. Standard and project-specific map conditions have been recommended for the project (Attachment 3 and Exhibits).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report Addendum was prepared to address the project’s proposed changes to the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and the associated approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery-Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map that was evaluated in the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan Final EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2015032102).
The Addendum concluded that the West Lincoln Square Commercial Center Project would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts than those analyzed in the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan Final EIR. The preparation of a subsequent EIR to the SUD-B NEQ Final EIR is not required pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declaration). No further environmental review is necessary.
LEVINE ACT COMPLIANCE:
The Levine Act requires a party (or the party’s agent(s)) to a proceeding before the City of Lincoln that involves any action or consideration to their contract, license, permit, or other entitlement for use, to disclose any campaign contribution made to City elected or appointed officer totaling more than $500 within the 12 months before the City decision. The applicant submitted a Levine Act Statement to the City and cited no contributions to a City elected or appointed officer totaling more than $500 within the reporting period.
CONCLUSION:
Supported by the analysis provided above, the West Lincoln Square Commercial Tentative Parcel Map has been found to be consistent with applicable General Plan, SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and GDP, and LMC standards. Staff has determined that the proposed request is appropriate for the project site and surrounding area, based upon these findings, thus recommending approval of the proposed project subject to the Conditions of Approval. The West Lincoln Square Commercial Center Project was entitled by the Planning Commission 321
during the March 18, 2026 Public Hearing; however, the outstanding entitlements include the amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved A&P Lincoln, LLC (Peery- Arrillaga) Property Large Lot Tentative Parcel Map and an ordinance to approve a Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B NEQ General Development Plan. The City Council has review authority for all Tentative Parcel Map applications.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council, upon deliberation and testimony from the public, can approve the project as presented, or deny the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no anticipated fiscal impact. All costs associated with the application are assumed by the project applicant and recovered by the City.
REPORT ACCOUNTABILITY:
This Staff Report has been reviewed by the City Attorney for legal sufficiency and by the City Manager for content.
The Finance Department has reviewed this staff report and certifies budgeted funds are available, unless a budget amendment is being requested as part of this action item.

SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 1-1 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND AND ACTION TRIGGERING THE ADDENDUM
The City of Lincoln previously prepared the Special Use District B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (SUD-B NEQ) (EIR) (Specific Plan EIR), which programmatically evaluated the environmental impacts of implementing SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan. The SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan was approved by the City on May 14, 2019; the programmatic environmental impacts of the Specific Plan were evaluated in the SUD-B NEQ EIR, which was also certified on May 14, 2019.
In September 2025, the project applicant filed a development application for a Commercial Design Review, a Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Parcel Map, a Zone Text Amendment, and a Specific Development Plan/Development Permit (Design Review) for the proposed West Lincoln Square Project (proposed project). The proposed project is located within the southwest portion of the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and was considered as part of implementation of the plan in the Specific Plan EIR. Based on review of those deta ils and in accordance with Section 15164 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City has prepared this Addendum that documents how the project as currently proposed would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts compared to those evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR.
1.2 CEQA GUIDELINES REGARDING THE ADDENDUM TO THE EIR
If, after certification of an EIR, altered conditions, changes, or additions to a project occur, CEQA requires no additional actions unless additional discretionary approval is required. If additional discretionary approval is required, CEQA provides three mechanisms to address these changes: a subsequent EIR (SEIR), a supplement to an EIR, and an addendum to an EIR.
Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21166 and sections 15162-15163 of the State CEQA Guidelines describe the conditions under which an SEIR would be prepared. In summary, when an EIR has been certified for a project, no SEIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
substantial changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete was adopted, shows any of the following:
the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. 332
Introduction Addendum Ascent
City of Lincoln
1-2 SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 provides that a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described above for Section 15162 calling for preparation of an SEIR have occurred. In evaluating whether a SEIR is needed under 21166 and 15162, the agency considers only the incremental difference between the original project and the project as modified (See Benton v.
Board of Supervisors (1991) 226 Cal. App. 3d 1467; Temecula Band of Luiseño Mission Indians v. Rancho California Water Dist. (1996) 43 Cal. App. 4th 425.)

SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 2-1 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This document serves as an addendum to the EIR for the SUD B NEQ Specific Plan (Specific Plan EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2015032102). The Specific Plan and EIR contemplated 69.8 acres of commercial, 84.3 acres of low density residential (429 units), 4.6 acres of park, 22.8 acres of open space, 4.6 acres of new roadways/right -of-way land uses. Figure 2-1 provides an overview of the entire Specific Plan planning area, with the proposed project site outlined.
Since the time that the Specific Plan EIR was adopted, the City and the project applicant have engaged in the design of the approximate 40-acre, multi-use commercial shopping center and have determined the final details of the project and associated amendments to SUD B NEQ Specific Plan approvals involving this site. This includes a Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B General Development Plan (City Council Resolution No. 2019-099) and an amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved Peery/Arrillaga Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map Large Lot (City Council Resolution No. 2019-104) and Small-Lot Subdivision (City Council Resolution No. 2019-105).
This addendum describes the project-specific details of the proposed multi-use commercial shopping center, referred to as West Lincoln Square, and compares the environmental impacts that would occur under the current proposal to those that were previously identified in the Specific Plan EIR.
2.1.1 Project Location and Surrounding Land Uses
The project site consists of an approximately 40-acre vacant lot at the southwest corner of Highway 65 and Nelson Lane (Assessor’s Parcel Number 021-262-044), located within the City of Lincoln, in Placer County (see Figure 2-2 and 2-3). The site is characterized as an undeveloped, flat parcel, that is regularly disked for vegetation treatment and used for the annual production of hay. The proposed project is identified as Parcel 2 in the SUD B NEQ Specific Plan EIR. Surrounding land uses include commercial development to the northwest; residential development to the northeast and east (residential development to the east was contemplated as part of the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan); and a few vacant parcels directly north, west, and south of the project site. The Lincoln Regional Airport is located approximately one mile northwest of the project site.
The project site is zoned Commercial and designated as Community Commercial by the City of Lincoln (City of Lincoln 2025). The site is designated as commercial in the SUD B NEQ Specific Plan and is subject to the commercial development standards of the SUD-B General Development Plan (Frayji Design Group 2019). Currently, the project site has an approved Large and Small Lot Tentative Subdivision Map that divides the site into seven commercial parcels, two landscape parcels, and one open space parcel. The SUD B NEQ Specific Plan currently entitles the project site with approximately 475,500 square feet of commercial development.
2.2 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed project would include development of a new commercial center on 40 acres of land with a total commercial development potential of approximately 245,632 square feet. The site would be anchored by an approximate 181,300 square foot (sf) major retailer, and would include a mix of commercial, automotive, and restaurant uses. Project features would include a major retail store and on-site fuel station, a bank, an oil-change center, a tire center, a second fuel station, six quick-serve restaurants (i.e., drive-thru), multi-tenant shops, a stand- alone restaurant, a carwash, and an electric vehicle (EV) charging area (see Figure 2-4). As shown in Figure 2-4, the major retailer would be positioned in the southwestern portion of the site (north of Highway 65), with a bank, automotive, retail, and dining uses located along Nelson Lane and Oakbrook Drive. 334

MODIFICATIONS TO PREVIOUS APPROVALS
In order to allow for the development of the proposed oil change use, the project proposes a Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B General Development Plan (Table 2.1 Permitted Uses) amending the zoning category for “Automobile service stations, Smog Centers, not including major repair or overhaul” from Prohibited use to Conditional Use. The project would also amend a portion of the original approved Peery/Arrillaga Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map Large Lot (City Council Resolution No. 2019-104) and Small-Lot Subdivision (City Council Resolution No. 2019-105). The amended commercial tentative parcel map would subdivide the site into a total of 2 2 commercial and ancillary parcels (Figure 2-5).

PROJECT DESIGN, UTILITIES, AND LANDSCAPING
Proposed onsite buildings would be designed consistent with the adopted SUD-B General Development Plan and would include single-story structures with design features such as parapets and towers. Buildings would incorporate neutral colors and natural elements (e.g. stone) (Figures 2-6 through 2-12).
Landscaping would be incorporated throughout the project site and would include tree plantings, shrubs, and groundcover. Drainage basins would be constructed along Oakbrook Drive, Nelson Lane, and along the southern border of the site, north of Highway 65. Public gathering and seating areas would also be constructed within the site for retail users. As described above, pedestrian pathways would be constructed to connect commercial uses within the site as well as neighboring residential uses to the east.
The project would connect to and be served by existing utility infrastructure (e.g., sewer, gas, water, electricity) within Nelson Lane. Internal utility infrastructure extending existing pipelines for proposed site uses would be constructed within the site.
2.2.1 Access and Circulation
The project site is currently accessible from Highway 65 and Nelson Lane. The project would include one entrance along Nelson Lane to the west and three entrances along a newly constructed roadway, Oakbrook Drive, to the north. A new roundabout is planned for construction along Oakbrook Drive (that is not part of the proposed project), northeast of the site, and would include future access to the project site. Internal roadways, sidewalks, and pedestrian pathways would be incorporated within the site; pedestrian pathways would connect to neighboring residential uses.
The project would include approximately 1,200 parking spaces, consisting of 46 ADA accessible spaces, 215 EV capable spaces, and 47 EV charging stations spaces. Consistent with the Specific Plan and City standards, bicycle parking would be provided and would include 35 bicycle parking spaces for employees and retail visitors.
2.2.2 Construction Activities
Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in Summer 2026. Construction staging would occur onsite and access for emergency response would be maintained at all times. Consistent with the Specific Plan EIR Mitigation Measure NOI-4, construction activities would occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. The proposed project would be designed in a manner consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines with respect to architectural design/features, building form, and colors in order to main tain a consistent aesthetic along the City’s western boundary.
2.2.3 Project Approvals
The proposed project consists of the following entitlement requests:
A Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B General Development Plan (City Council Resolution No. 2019- 099) amending the zoning category for “Automobile service stations, Smog Centers, not including major repair or overhaul” from Prohibited use to Conditional Use;

SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 3-1 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
As described above, the project applicant filed an application associated with development of a proposed commercial center within the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan area. As referenced above, the Specific Plan EIR contemplated development of 69.8 acres of commercial uses, 84.3 acres of low density residential, 4.6 acres of parks/recreation uses, 22.8 acres of open space, and 4.6 acres of right of way. Commercial uses were considered at the corner of Highway 65 and Nelson Lane (i.e., the location of the proposed project), and along Nelson Lane towards Nicolaus Road.
As described in Section 2.2, “Project Characteristics,” the proposed project would result in construction and operation of approximately 40 acres of commercial uses at the southwest corner of Highway 65 and Nelson Lane within the Specific Plan area. Of the 69.7 acres of commercial development approved with the Specific Plan EIR, approximately 475,500 square feet of commercial development is currently allowed on the project site. The project, as currently proposed, includes approximately 245,632 square feet of commercial development, including various types of commercial uses. The project would result in a 229,868 square feet reduction in commercial development potential than was allowed under the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan. This project also includes amendments to SUD B NEQ Specific Plan approvals involving a Zone Text Amendment to the adopted SUD-B General Development Plan and an amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved Peery/Arrillaga Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map Large Lot and Small-Lot Subdivision.
This addendum evaluates the potential effects for the project to result in new of substantially more severe environmental impacts compared to those disclosed in the certified Specific Plan EIR. The project would implement all applicable adopted mitigation measures identified in the Specific Plan EIR. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the project and attached to this addendum ( Exhibit B).
3.1 AESTHETICS
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential aesthetic, light, and glare impacts in Section 4.1, “Aesthetics.” The EIR concluded that no impacts related to scenic vistas or scenic resources within a state scenic highway would occur.
Impacts related to visual character and quality were determined to be less than significant. Impacts related to light and glare were determined to be potentially significant because buildout of the Specific Plan could result in new reflective features and/or light sources that may be incompatible with the Placer County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-AES-1 was determined to reduce potentially significant light and glare impacts to a less-than-significant level by requiring avoidance of mirrored or highly reflective building materials, excessive upward lighting, laser lighting, and distracting lighting.
No aesthetic resource conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project consists of the same extent of commercial development evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, nor change the intensity of construction activities or development contemplated for the project site. Lighting plans identified for the project indicate that light illumination would be limited within the project site (i.e., would not extend towards sensitive users, such as nearby residents). Further, construction and operation of the project would comply with design standards provided in the SUD-B General Development Plan, which incorporates requirements of adopted Mitigation Measure MM-AES-1 to ensure no adverse impacts related to light and glare occur.
Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to aesthetics than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new aesthetics mitigation would be required.
3.2 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to agriculture and forestry resources in Section 4.2, “Agriculture and Forestry Resources.” Impacts related to Williamson act contracted lands and effects to Farmland outside of the 360
Environmental Analysis Addendum Ascent
City of Lincoln
3-2 SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum Specific Plan area were determined to be less than significant The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts to Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Statewide Importance would be significant and unavoidable since the project would result in conversion of designated Farmland to urban uses. Implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-AG-1 was included to require the applicant to obtain and conserve Farmland at a 1:1 ratio for any lost Farmland resulting from the project. However, because Farmland would still be lost within the region as a result of project buildout, this impact was determined to be significant and unavoidable.
No agricultural or forestry resource conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. According to the California Department of Conservation (DOC), the project is designated as Farmland of Local Importance (DOC 2025). As stated above, the project site is zoned as Commercial and designated as Community Commercial by the City of Lincoln. Therefore, the project would not result in any impacts to Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Statewide Importance. No areas within the Specific Plan, including the project site, are designated under a Williamson Act contract. Additionally, the proposed project is not located on land zoned for forest land or timberland production and no forest land is present on site. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to agriculture and forestry resources than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no mitigation would be required.
3.3 AIR QUALITY
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential air quality impacts in Section 4.3, “Air Quality.” The EIR concluded that impacts relating to the Specific Plan’s potential to conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality management plan, expose sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants, and create or expose a substantial number of people to objectionable odors were determined to be less than significant. The EIR determined that full buildout of the Specific Plan would create operational emissions that would exceed the Placer County Air Pollution Control District’s (PCAPCD) air quality standards. Specifically, construction of the Specific Plan would generate construction-related air pollutant emissions from entrained dust, equipment and vehicle exhaust emissions, asphalt pavement, and architectural coatings. Exhaust from internal combustion engin es used by construction equipment and vendor trucks (delivery trucks) and worker vehicles would result in emissions of ROG, NO x, and PM10. It was determined that daily unmitigated construction and operation emissions would exceed the PCAPCD thresholds for ROG, NOx, and PM10 at full buildout. Implementation of Specific Plan EIR Mitigation Measures MM -AQ-1 through MM-AQ-4 would reduce ROG, NOx, and PM10 emissions to the extent feasible, which would further reduce construction emissions on a daily basis to a level below the PCAPCD significance thresholds. However, mitigated maximum daily operational emissions of ROG, NO
x, and PM10 at full buildout of the Specific Plan would still exceed the PCPAPCD significance thresholds. This impact was determined to be significant and unavoidable.
No conditions related to air quality have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project was contemplated as part of the buildout of the Specific Plan and would include development consistent with the proposed uses and level of construction and equipment that was evaluated in the Specific Plan. As previously described, the proposed project would result in a 229,868 square feet reduction in commercial development potential than was allowed under the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan for the site that would likely reduce operational air pollutant emissions. In addition, delivery trucks on the project site would be subject to the California Air Resources Board’s Airborne Toxic Control Measure that limits idling of trucks to a maximum of 5 minutes in order to reduce diesel particulate emissions (this requirement is also included in adopted Mitigation Measure MM-AQ-3).
Thus, air quality impacts associated with construction and operation of commercial uses would be less than what was considered in the EIR. The proposed project would be required to implement Mitigation Measures MM-AQ-1 through MM-AQ-4 as well as comply with local, State, and federal air quality regulations. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with the evaluation presented in the EIR, and would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to air quality than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR, and no new mitigation would be required.

3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to biological resources in Section 4.4, “Biological Resources.” The EIR concluded that impacts to biological resources, including special-status species and sensitive biological communities, would be potentially significant because buildout of the Specific Plan could result in overall loss of habitat from the conversion of suitable habitat to developed uses, the removal of wetland features and native oak trees, and from the direct disturbance of individual animals within the Specific Plan area during construction activities.
Implementation of adopted Mitigation Measures MM-BIO-1 through MM-BIO-13 were determined to reduce potentially significant impacts to a less-than-significant level by requiring worker awareness training, biological monitoring, protection of wetlands and waters of the US, trees, siting of construction activities, pre-construction surveys, resource avoidance, and design considerations.
Since adoption and certification of the Specific Plan and Specific Plan EIR, two changes have occurred in the regulatory setting for biological resources identified below:
The Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP), which includes a habitat conservation plan (HCP) was adopted and approved by state and federal permitting agencies. Implementation of adopted Mitigation Measures MM - BIO-3 (Wetlands and Waters of the U.S.), MM-BIO-7 (Vernal Pool Crustacean Avoidance and Mitigation), and MM-BIO-11 (Swainson’s Hawk Foraging Habitat Mitigation) are implemented through payment of PCCP Mitigation Fees.
Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii) is now a candidate for listing under the California Endangered Species Act [CESA]). Crotch’s bumble bee was designated as a candidate for listing as endangered under CESA by the California Fish and Game Commission on May 31, 2022. In June of 2023, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) released Survey Considerations for CESA Candidate Bumble Bee Species, which included survey and mitigation guidance for the species, as well as an updated current range map for the species. Bumble bees have three basic habitat requirements: suitable nesting sites for colonies, availability of nectar and pollen from floral resources throughout the colony period (spring, summer, and fall), and overwintering sites for the queens.
Crotch’s bumble bees nest underground and likely use, at least in part, old rodent burrows (Williams et al. 2014; Xerces Society 2018). Overwintering likely occurs primarily in woodlands (USFWS 2021). The Specific Plan area, including the project site, contains habitat potentially suitable for Crotch’s bumble bee nesting and foraging. Any ground-disturbing project activities could result in mortality, injury, or disturbance to Crotch’s bumble bees. As described above, the project site is regularly disked (i.e., disturbed) for vegetation management and production of hay annually, which precludes the likelihood of Crotch’s bumble bee to establish habitat within the site.
Therefore, no impacts related to Crotch’s bumble bees would occur through project implementation.
No other biological resource conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The project site is vacant and is not located within the immediate vicinity of the Markham Ravine, Auburn Ravine, or any ephemeral streams, and is also outside of the 100-year floodplain and is not subject to adopted Mitigation Measures MM-BIO-2, MM-BIO-5, MM-BIO-12, and MM-BIO-13. The proposed project would not impact any trees and is not subject to adopted Mitigation Measures MM-BIO-4, MM-BIO-9, and MM-BIO-10. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint identified for the site, nor change the construction intensity of development contemplated for the project site.
Further, the project would result in less development than what was contemplated in the Specific Plan EIR through buildout of only a portion of the total considered commercial uses. The proposed project would continue to require implementation of applicable adopted mitigation measures to reduce potential biological resource impacts to a less- than-significant level. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to biological resources than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.

3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to cultural resources and paleontology in Section 4.5, “Cultural Resources.” Surveys conducted as part of the cultural resources inventory for the Specific Plan EIR did not identify any potentially historic resources on the project site. While no evidence suggests indication of archaeological and paleontological resources or prehistoric- or historic-era marked or unmarked human interments present within the immediate vicinity of the Specific Plan area, the Specific Plan EIR determined that ground-disturbing construction activities could accidentally uncover previously unknown resources and human remains. The Specific Plan EIR concluded that implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-CUL-1 and MM-CUL-2 would preserve inadvertent archaeological and paleontological resources discoveries, as well as human remains, during ground disturbing activities and would reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level.
No cultural resource conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint identified for the site, nor change the intensity of development contemplated for the site. Since the proposed project would involve ground disturbance activities during construction, implementation of adopted Mitigation Measures MM- CUL-1 and MM-CUL-2 would continue to be applicable to the proposed project and would reduce the project’s potential cultural resources impacts to a less-than-significant level. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to cultural resources than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no cultural resources mitigation would be required.
3.6 ENERGY
Impacts related to energy were evaluated in in Section 5.5 of Chapter 5, “CEQA Considerations,” of the Specific Plan EIR. The Specific Plan EIR concluded that construction and long-term operation of the project would not result in wasteful or inefficient use of nonrenewable resources (e.g., electricity, natural gas, and petroleum), and the impact was determined to be less than significant. Furthermore, the Specific Plan EIR determined that no unusual, proposed project characteristics or construction processes requiring the use of equipment that would be more energy intensive than those used for comparable project activities, nor use of equipment that would not conform to current emissions standards, would occur. Additionally, the project would implement design features to minimize its demand for electricity through the use of enhanced building energy efficiency standards, and therefore, would not result in an increase in energy demand that would exceed the available capacity of local and regional energy supplies.
Additionally, policies are in place at the state and federal level to increase fuel efficiency over time. The i ncreasing efficiency of vehicles over the lifetime of the project is also anticipated to result in incremental reductions in the project’s operational fuel use.
No conditions related to energy have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project would include commercial development of the approximate 40-acre site, consistent with the proposed uses and level of construction and equipment that was evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. Hence, construction and operation activities associated with implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the analysis evaluated in the EIR.
As previously described, the proposed project would result in a 229,868 square feet reduction in commercial development potential than was allowed under the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan for the site that would likely reduce energy use. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to energy consumption than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no energy mitigation would be required.
3.7 GEOLOGY AND SOILS
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to geology and soils in Section 4.6, “Geology and Soils.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to rupture of a known fault, seismic ground shaking, seismic- related ground failure and liquefaction, landslides, soil erosion or loss of topsoil, and unstable geologic units/soils would be less than significant. Additionally, mitigated impacts resulting from expansive soils were determined to be less than significant 363

City of Lincoln
SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 3-5 through implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-GEO-1, which would require preparation of a project design- level geotechnical report prior to construction.
No geological or soil conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, and would involve less commercial development than was originally contemplated for the site . Construction activities would be consistent with those considered in the Specific Plan EIR. The project would include implementation of adopted Mitigation Measure MM-GEO-1. The proposed project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to geology and soils than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no mitigation would be required.
3.8 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Section 4.7, “Greenhouse Gas Emissions.” The EIR concluded that GHG impacts would be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure MM-GHG-1 was included to require implementation of GHG reduction measures, however, buildout of the Specific Plan would result in emissions of 8.9 MT CO2E/SP/year which is more than the efficiency threshold of 4.9 MT CO2E, even after implementation of MM-GHG-1. As a result, the Specific Plan was determined to conflict with Placer County Air Pollution Control District thresholds that are designed to identify projects that may not be consistent with the State’s GHG reduction goals in 2030 and 2050. Therefore, GHG impacts were determined to be significant and unavoidable.
No GHG-related conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project was contemplated as part of the buildout of the Specific Plan and would include development consistent with the proposed uses and level of construction and equipment that was evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. Therefore, construction and operation activities associated with implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the analysis evaluated in the EIR. As previously described, the proposed project would result in a 229,868 square feet reduction in commercial development potential than was allowed under the SUD -B NEQ Specific Plan for the site that would likely reduce operational GHG emissions. The proposed project would implement the non-residential building requirements of adopted Mitigation Measure MM-GHG-1 as well as comply with local and State GHG regulations. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to GHG emissions than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.
3.9 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials in Section 4.8, “Hazards and Hazardous Materials.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to the use, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials, creation of hazards through upset or accident conditions, location on hazardous materials sites, impairment of emergency response or evacuation plans, and wildfire risks would be less than significant. Due to the proximity of the Specific Plan area to the Lincoln Regional Airport, the Specific Plan EIR determined that highly reflective building materials or bright lights and bird strikes resulting from buildout of the plan area could represent a hazard to air traffic.
Implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-AES-1 was included to reduce potentially significant light and glare impacts to a less-than-significant level by requiring avoidance of mirrored or highly reflective building materials, excessive upward lighting, laser lighting, and distracting lighting. Additionally, implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-LU-1 was included to reduce the potential for bird strikes through proper design of detention basins in compliance with FAA guidance. Impacts were determined to be less than significant with incorporation of mitigation measures.
No conditions related to hazards or hazardous materials have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint and would involve less commercial development than was originally contemplated for the site. Construction activities would be consistent with those considered in the Specific Plan EIR. Therefore, the same hazards would be present, including the types of hazardous materials that would be used, handled, or transported to the site. No new airports have been developed near the project site, and implementation of the 364

City of Lincoln
3-6 SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum proposed project would not conflict with any adopted emergency response or evacuation plans. Further, no changes to wildfire risks have occurred since approval of the Specific Plan EIR. Implementation of adopted Mitigation Measures MM-AES-1 and MM-LU-1 would ensure that safety hazards related to light and glare and impacts to aircraft safety are reduced to a less-than-significant level. The project’s proposed bioretention/detention basins are designed to accommodate 2-, 10-, and 100-year, 24-hour peak storm conditions, but not to retain stormwater that could create a bird attraction based on the West Lincoln Square Preliminary Drainage Report (December 12, 2025). The reader is referred to Section 3.1, “Aesthetics,” for a discussion of project compliance with adopted Mitigation Measure MM- AES-1. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.
3.10 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to hydrology and water quality in Section 4. 9, “Hydrology and Water Quality.” The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts to water quality, groundwater supplies, runoff and stormwater drainage systems, and flood risk would be less than significant. The Specific Plan EIR, determined that development in the Specific Plan area could result in the alteration of existing drainage which could result in substantial erosion, siltation, or increases in the volume and velocity of stormwater runoff. Mitigation Measure MM- HYD-1 was included to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level by requiring implementation of low-impact development (LID) designs, and ensuring that water quality and drainage standards (includ ing hydromodification) are met. The Specific Plan EIR also determined that areas within the plan boundaries could constrict areas in which flood flows may pass, resulting in an increase in base flood elevations. This impact related to impedance of flood flows was determined to be potentially significant, however would be reduced to a less- than-significant level through implementation of Mitigation Measure MM-HYD-1 that requires the implementation of drainage and water quality controls.
No conditions related to hydrology or water quality have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, nor change the type of development contemplated for the project site. The project site is not located within a Special Flood Hazard Area or a 100-year flood zone (FEMA 2025). Upon buildout of the proposed project, adequate surface drainage control would be designed by the project civil engineer in accordance with the latest applicable edition of the California Building Code. Project implementation would also be required to comply with the City of Lincoln’s Storm Water Management Plan and Placer County’s Stormwater Management Manual (including implementation of BMPs). Implementation of adopted Mitigation Measure MM-HYD-1 would reduce potential hydrology and water quality impacts to a less-than-significant level. The project’s proposed bioretention/detention basins are designed to accommodate 2-, 10-, and 100-year, 24-hour peak storm conditions as well as provide water quality to project drainage based on the West Lincoln Square Preliminary Drainage Report (December 12, 2025). Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to hydrology and water quality than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.
3.11 LAND USE AND PLANNING
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to land use and planning in Section 4.10, “Land Use and Planning.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to division of an established community would be less than significant; no impacts to conflicts with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community plan would occur. Impacts related to conflicts with applicable land use plans, policies, or regulations were determined to be potentially significant due to potential impacts related to highly reflective building materials or bright lights that could represent a hazard to air traffic, and improperly designed detention ponds. The Specific Plan EIR included Mitigation Measure MM-AES-1 which would require commercial development to avoid mirrored or highly reflective building finish materials and excessively bright upward lighting. Mitigation Measure MM-LU-1, was also included and would require all water quality 365

City of Lincoln
SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 3-7 detention basins be designed to avoid creating an increased attraction to wildlife and be consistent with FAA rules and regulations. With implementation of mitigation measures, impacts were determined to be less than significant.
Since adoption of the Specific Plan EIR, the Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) has been approved, which provides programmatic Incidental Take Permits and wetlands permits for certain activities under the FESA and CESA, covering approximately 201,000 acres of Western Placer County, including the City of Lincoln. The project site is within Plan Area A1, Valley Potential Future Growth (PFG) of the PCCP (Placer County 2020, Figure 2-4). The Valley PFG activities are based on designations in the general plans of the County and City of Lincoln (Place r County 2020).
Development of the project would be consistent with the Plan Area designations under the PCCP and would not conflict with PCCP policies. Therefore, the project would not result in conflicts with an HCP or NCCP.
No other conditions related to land use and planning have occurred since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, nor increase the intensity of development contemplated for the project site. Continued implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-LU-1 and MM-AES-1 would reduce impacts to less-than-significant. The project’s proposed bioretention/detention basins are designed to accommodate 2 -, 10-, and 100-year, 24-hour peak storm conditions, but not to retain stormwater that could create a bird attraction based on the West Lincoln Square Preliminary Drainage Report (December 12, 2025). The reader is referred to Section 3.1, “Aesthetics,” for a discussion of project compliance with adopted Mitigation Measure MM-AES-1. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to land use and planning than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.
3.12 MINERAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR did not address impacts related to mineral resources as no mineral resources are present within the project area. No conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR, and no mineral resources are located within the project site. Therefore, the project would not result in any impacts to mineral resources.
3.13 NOISE
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential noise impacts in Section 4.11, “Noise.” The EIR concluded that impact s related to the exposure of excessive noise levels within an airport land use plan as well as excessive groundborne vibration and noise would be less be significant. Impacts related to exposure and generation of noise levels were determined to be potentially significant because buildout of the Specific Plan may exceed applicable standards for sensitive receptors (i.e., residential and recreational uses) due to mobile noise sources from SR -65 and proposed adjacent commercial uses. The Specific Plan EIR included implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-NOI-1, MM- NOI-2, MM-NOI-3, and MM-NOI-4. These mitigation measures require the installation of noise barriers, measures to protect nearby residences from commercial-associated noise, siting requirements for noise-generating uses, and limitations on construction activities near sensitive users (i.e., residences). Implementation of these mitigation measures were determined to reduce potentially significant noise impacts to a less-than-significant level.
No conditions related to noise have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint. Adopted Mitigation Measures MM-NOI-1, MM-NOI-2, and MM-NOI-4 would be applicable to the project and would reduce potential noise impacts. Consistent with these adopted mitigation measures, the project includes an 6-foot to 8-foot noise barrier along the eastern boundary of the site where the proposed commercial project abuts the future SUD B residential neighborhood. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to noise than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required. 366

3.14 POPULATION AND HOUSING
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential population and housing impacts in Section 4.12, “Population and Housing.” The EIR concluded that no impacts related to displacement of housing or people would occur . Impacts related to substantial population growth were determined to be less than significant.
No conditions related to population and housing have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any new housing on the project site, nor remove existing housing. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to population and housing than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no mitigation would be required.
3.15 PUBLIC SERVICES
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential public service impacts in Section 4.13, “Public Services.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to the provision or need of new or physical altered facilities in order to maintain acceptable service levels including fire, police, schools, and parks, would be less than significant.
No public service conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project would be similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR. The project would result in less commercial development than was contemplated for the site in the Specific Plan EIR. Further, the project would not result in any changes to the type of development contemplated for the project site, such that additional public service needs (i.e., police and fire protection) would be required. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to public services than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR; no public services mitigation would be required.
3.16 RECREATION
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential recreation impacts in Section 4.14, “Recreation.” The Specific Plan EIR concluded that impacts related to increase in the use of existing parks or recreational facilities as well as the expansion of existing recreational facilities, would be less than significant. Though recreational impacts were determined to be less than significant, Mitigation Measure MM-REC-1 was included and requires the project applicant to pay in-lieu fees for the construction of parks and recreational facilities in the project area, consistent with City of Lincon Municipal Code policies, to ensure that the adequate recreational facilities for future residents are available.
The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, nor increase the intensity of construction or operation contemplated for the project site, such that increased or additional recreational users would be introduced to the project area. Mitigation Measure MM-REC-1 would apply to residential uses implemented under the Specific Plan and therefore does not apply to the proposed project. The project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts to recreation than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR; no mitigation would be required.
3.17 TRANSPORTATION
The Specific Plan EIR used automobile delay or level of service (LOS) as the primary metric to evaluate the Specific Plan’s CEQA transportation impacts, consistent with industry standards and the City General Plan goals and policies at the time. The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential traffic and circulation impacts in Section 4.15, “Traffic and Circulation.”
On September 27, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 743 (Steinberg) into law and started a process to change transportation impact analysis as part of CEQA compliance. SB 743 directed the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to revise the CEQA Guidelines to modify the criteria for determining the significance of transportation impacts to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses. Section 15064.3 of the CEQA Guidelines, adopted in December 367
Ascent Addendum Environmental Analysis
City of Lincoln
SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 3-9 2018, provides that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is the “most appropriate measure of transportation impacts” and mandates analysis of VMT impacts effective July 1, 2020. LOS, or other measures of automobile delay, are no longer considered significant environmental impacts under CEQA. (Pub. Res. Code, Section 21009(b)(2).) As provided in CEQA Guidelines Section 15007, “amendments to the guidelines apply prospectively only,” and CEQA documents must meet the “content requirements in effect when the document was set out for public review,” and “shall not need to be revised to conform to any new content requirements in guideline amendments taking effect before the document is finally approved.” (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15007(c)).
The Specific Plan EIR circulated for public review before the amendment to the CEQA Guidelines adding VMT as the primary measure of transportation impacts, and used the LOS threshold of significance for traffic impacts. As directed by Section 15007, the Specific Plan EIR does not need to be revised to conform to the new VMT requirements. In addition, the change in law (replacement of the LOS standard with VMT) does not constitute new significant information under CEQA (Public Resources Code [PRC] 21166 or CEQA Guidelines 15162) as it does not constitute a new impact caused by the changes proposed in the project.
The Specific Plan EIR determined that impacts related to transportation hazards, emergency access, air traffic patterns and safety risks, as well as conflicts with public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian -related policies or plans would be less than significant. Impacts related to traffic were determined to be potentially significant. Mitigation Measures MM - TRA-1 through MM-TRA-6 were provided to require the applicant to contribute to traffic signal installation, intersection updates, and roadway/off-ramp updates. With implementation of these measures, direct project impacts were reduced to a less-than-significant level while cumulative impacts remained significant and unavoidable.
A project-specific VMT analysis was prepared for the proposed project, comparing VMT from approved commercial land use conditions under the Specific Plan (475,000 square feet of commercial development) with the proposed project (approximately 245,632 square feet of commercial development) for base year and future year conditions.
Results of the VMT analysis indicated that total regional VMT under base year conditions would not result in increases, which would equate to no CEQA VMT impact. Regional VMT would decrease by less than one tenth of one percent under both baseline and future cases (DKS 2025). The project would include implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-TRA-1 through MM-TRA-6 to ensure potential traffic impacts remain less than significant. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe transportation impacts than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR; no new mitigation would be required.
3.18 TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts to tribal cultural resources and paleontology in Section 4.5, “Cultural Resources.” A sacred lands search request was sent to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in December 2014, and did not result in the identification of any tribal cultural resources in the plan area. Furthermore, surveys conducted as part of the cultural resources inventory did not identify any potentially historic resources in the Specific Plan area. In January 2015, tribal contact letters were drafted and mailed to individuals identified on the contact list provided by the NAHC; follow-up phone calls were made to those who received letters. Shingle Springs Rancheria responded that they had no project information regarding cultural resources in the plan area and requested that they be notified if human remains are encountered during project implementation or if any new project information became available. As described in Section 3.5, “Cultural Resources,” above, impacts related to cultural resources were determined to be less than significant through implementation of Mitigation Measures MM - CUL-1 and MM-CUL-2 which would preserve inadvertent archaeological and paleontological resources discoveries, as well as human remains, during ground disturbing activities.
No cultural resource conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint, nor increase the intensity of construction or operation contemplated for the project site. Because the project would involve ground disturbance activities during construction, continued implementation of Mitigation Measures MM-CUL-1 and MM-CUL-2 would ensure that the project’s impact to tribal cultural resources remain less than significant. Therefore, 368

City of Lincoln
3-10 SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to tribal cultural resources than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no new mitigation would be required.
3.19 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential utility and service system impacts in Section 4.17, “Utilities.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to exceedance of wastewater treatment requirements, construction or expansion of water or wastewater treatment facilities, construction or expansion of storm water drainage facilities, sufficient water supply, adequate wastewater treatment capacity, landfill capacity, and compliance with solid waste statutes and regulations would be less than significant.
No conditions related to utilities and service systems have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The proposed project is similar to the components evaluated in the Specific Plan EIR; the project would not result in any changes in uses or footprint. As previously described, the proposed project would result in a 229,868 square feet reduction in commercial development potential than was allowed under the SUD -B NEQ Specific Plan for the site that would likely reduce utility service demands. As described above, the project would include connections to existing utility infrastructure to serve buildout of the project site; the project is consistent with utility impacts contemplated in the Specific Plan EIR and would not result in increases in utility services demand. Therefore, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to utilities and service systems than those analyzed in the Specific Plan EIR and no mitigation would be required.
3.20 WILDFIRE
Wildfire was not individually addressed in the Specific Plan EIR. The topic was included in the updated Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, which became effective on December 28, 2018. The Specific Plan EIR evaluated potential wildfire impacts in Section 4.8, “Hazards and Hazardous Materials.” The EIR concluded that impacts related to impairment of emergency response or evacuation plans, and wildfire risks would be less than significant because the proposed project would maintain emergency access during construction and the project would be adequately served by CAL FIRE and Lincoln Fire Department.
No wildfire conditions have changed since certification of the Specific Plan EIR. The project site is located within the Local Responsibility Area; the north and west portions of the site are designated for moderate fire hazard severity risk (CAL FIRE 2025). The project site is bounded by undeveloped, agricultural and residential uses. Implementation of the project would include new commercial uses and would not increase or exacerbate wildfire risks in the project area.
Emergency access to and from the site would be maintained during construction activities. Though the project would include installation of utility infrastructure (e.g., utility connections), the project would not require the installation of infrastructure beyond what was anticipated under the Specific Plan EIR (as evaluated in Section 4.17, “Utilities and Service Systems,” of the Specific Plan EIR). As a result, no new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts than those contemplated in the Specific Plan EIR would occur; no mitigation is required.
3.21 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The proposed project would result in construction and operation of commercial uses contemplated as part of buildout of the Specific Plan EIR. The project would not result in a change in the level of development proposed or a change in project footprint/location. Adopted Mitigation Measures identified in the Specific Plan EIR would remain applicable to the proposed project. Thus, the project would not result in any new significant cumulative impacts or a substantial increase in severity of cumulative impacts than were addressed in the Specific Plan EIR. 369

City of Lincoln
SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum 4-1 4 CONCLUSION
As demonstrated above, implementation of the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than those identified in the Specific Plan EIR. The final design of the project does not require revisions to the analysis previously of the certified Specific Plan EIR, nor are there substantial changes that would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project would be undertaken. As a result, no new environmental document is required, consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. 370

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
1 INTRODUCTION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15097 requires that whenever a public agency approves a project based on a Mitigated Negative Declaration or an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the public agency shall establish a mitigation monitoring and reporting program to ensure that all adopted mitigation measures are implemented.
This mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) is intended to satisfy this requirement of the CEQA Guidelines as it relates to the Special Use District B (SUD -B) Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan (proposed project) . This MMRP will be u sed by City of Lincoln staff to ensure compliance with all mitigation measures identified in the SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR is achieved during project implementation and operation. The MMRP provides for monitoring of construction activities, as necessary, and in the field identification and resolution of environmental concerns.

2 STANDARD MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
City of Lincoln has adopted a standard mitigation monitoring program. This program requires that mitigation measures adopted for projects requiring discretionary City approvals, such as the SUD- B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan project, be included in the conditions of approval for those projects and that issuance of any of the permits or city actions listed below must be preceded by a verification by city staff that certain conditions of approval/mit igation measures have been met.
Compliance with conditions of approval is monitored by the City through a variety of permit and review processes, including:
• Improvement Plans approval (this approval must be obtained prior to issuance of grading or building permits)
• Grading Permit issuance
• Improvements construction inspection
• Final map recordation
• Acceptance of subdivision improvements as complete
• Building permit issuance
• Certificates of Occupancy
The mitigation measures for the SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan project included in the EIR would be monitored through the City’s Standard Mitigation Monitoring Program, as indicated in the text of each mitigation measure. The following table provides the full text of each mitigation measure and identifies the specific permit(s) or approval(s) from the Standard Mitigation Monitoring Program that the City would use to verify compliance with each, or another monitoring mechanism that would be used if t he mitigation measure cannot be verified through the C ity’s Standard Mitigation Monitoring Program.
Mitigation Monitoring Program Description
City of Lincoln will coordinate monitoring activities and document the implementation of mitigation measures for each project phase. Table 1 lists each mitigation measure as identified in the Final EIR and the associated implementation, monitoring /reporting, timing and performance requirements. The table includes:
1. the full text of each applicable mitigation measure;
2. the party or parties responsible for implementation and monitoring of each measure and any reporting requirements;

WHEREAS, the City of Lincoln received an application for the West Lincoln Square Commercial Center project, which includes: (1) an amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved Peery/Arrillaga Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map Large Lot (City Council Resolution No. 2019 -104) for the subdivision (West Lincoln Square Com mercial Tentative Parcel Map) of the 40-acre parcel into a total of 22 commercial and ancillary parcels; and WHEREAS, Tittle 17, Chapter 17.04 et seq. of the Lincoln Municipal Code provides for the review and recommendations of the City’s Planning Commission on all Tentative Maps; and WHEREAS, notices describing the proposed Tentative Parcel Map for the West Lincoln Square Commercial Project were sent to neighboring property owners pursuant to the Lincoln Municipal Code Section 17.16.150 and notice of the hearing was published in accordance with Section 6061 of the Government Code in at least one newspaper of general circulation within the City of Lincoln at least twenty calendar days before the Planning Commission’s public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lincoln duly noticed and held a public hearing for the Planning Commission to consider the proposed West Lincoln Square Commercial Project requests and consider the Special Use District B Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report Addendum on March 18, 2026.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1.
This Resolution incorporates, and by this reference makes a part hereof, that the amendment to the commercial portion of the original approved Peery/Arrillaga Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map Large Lot (City Council Resolution No. 2019 -104) is being heard pursuant to Title 17 (Subdivisions) of the Lincoln Municipal Code regulating Subdivisions and the Special Use District-B Northeast Quadrant (SUD -B NEQ) General Development Plan (GDP).

Section 2. Tentative Parcel Map Findings
419
Resolution No. 2026-XXX
Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows:
a. The Commercial Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan because the map provides for the subdivision of the property to allow for development in accordance with the General Plan Land Use designations and the policies of the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan and SUD-B NEQ GDP.
b. The design or improvement of the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan because adequate infrastructure and services are currently in the direct frontage of the property and will be available to serve the demand for services generated by the par cel map, including water, sanitary sewer, storm drain facilities and roadways. c. The site is physically suitable for the proposed Commercial Tentative Parcel Map because the Project is planned to respect and enhance the site’s natural form and environmental attributes and the proposed Project is designed to avoid areas of potential geologic instability, sensitive vegetation and wildlife resources, and significant cultural resources. The Project does not include plans to construct any buildings on or adjacent to unstable slopes.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed commercial development. e. The design of the Commercial Tentative Parcel Map will not cause any environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat b ecause all potential impacts related to the environment have been mitigated as set forth in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan, processed under SCH No. 2015032102 as documented in the SUD-B Northeast Quadrant Specific Pla n Environmental Impact Report Addendum consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 5164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration).
f. The design of the Project or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems since water, sew er, police, fire and solid waste services will be adequately provided to the Project.
g. The design of the Project or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, or access through or use of, property within the proposed project.
Section 3.
The Tentative Parcel Map for the West Lincoln Square Commercial Project (Exhibit C) is subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.
These conditions support the findings made by the Planning Commission set forth herein.
Section 4.
Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the Staff Report, the Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council that the Tentative Parcel Map for the West Lincoln Square Commercial Project be approved, substantially in the form on file with the Community Development Director, subject to the attached exhibits 420

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Pre-Annexation proceedings authorizing formal filing of an application for annexation with Placer County LAFCo of a 115-acre property within the unincorporated portion of the Village 5 Specific Plan area (PLN25-00031; Applicant/Owner: Brar Ventures Inc./SSB Holding, LLC; Assessor’s Parcel Number 021-263-016-000)
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing, consider the information contained in the staff report, recommendation by the Planning Commission, testimony of the public, and take the following actions:
1 .
Determine that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Section 15183, whereby projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified will not result in any new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the certified Final EIR for the Village 5 Specific Plan (SCH No. 2014-052071). Therefore, no further analysis is required under CEQA.
2 .
Adopt a Resolution approving the Pre-Annexation proceedings for the Brar Property and authorizing the City Manager to formally file an application for the annexation of Assessor’s Parcel Number 021-263-016-000 with Placer County LAFCo.
STRATEGIC
RELEVANCE:
Economic Development/Housing Supply
Annexation of the 115-acre property would result in the reduction of the unincorporated “Island B” areas within Village 5 Specific Plan area and opportunity for development in support of the goals, objectives and policies of the specific plan and City of Lincoln General Plan 2050.
STAFF REPORT
436
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
Planning Commission Action
On March 18, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a hearing in consideration of the proposed Brar Property Pre-Annexation proceedings
[1]
. As further detailed in the Planning
Commission agenda packet, the Brar Property encompass approximately 115-acre in size within the unincorporated “Island B” area of Village 5 Specific Plan (Attachment 1). No development is proposed with this application; however, if formally approved for annexation into the city, development of the site would occur in conformance with the applicable requirements of the Village 5 Specific Plan and General Development Plan Following staff presentation of the project, written and verbal public comments were received and considered by the Planning Commission
[2]
[3]
. Staff responded to these comments,
which include concerns about potential development impacts to existing agricultural uses, development traffic impacts to County roads, and public hearing notification requirements.
Following deliberation, the Planning Commission considered staff recommendations, voting in support of the project and forwarding to City Council for final actions. [1]

FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
Consideration of the pre-annexation of the Brar property provides an opportunity to implement various development and economic goals and objectives of the Village 5 Specific Plan. Firstly, annexation of the 115-acre property would promptly fill in approximately 15% of the unincorporated area of Island B. Coupled with other unincorporated properties within the Village 7 Specific Plan area currently contemplating development and annexation, annexation of the Brar property may spur additional interest from other Island B properties to annex and/or develop, further filling-in the unincorporated island. This potential interest may be more relevant as on-going development in Liberty at Lincoln and pre-development planning of Village 5A by Richland Communities continues further expanding and extending public infrastructures and services.
Secondly, as development of the site is regulated by the Village 5 GDP and restricted by Airport Compatibility Zones (City of Lincoln Airport), other potential uses alternative to residential development are available. Under the categories of Agritourism, Commercial and Recreational, uses such as tasting rooms, micro-brewery/distillery facilities, bed and breakfast inns, and parks may provide unique and flexible choices that also support, promote and further the objectives of the Village 5 Specific Plan.
Thirdly, following the successful annexations of SUD-B NEQ Specific Plan area in 2023 and Village 5A in 2025, documents necessary for the annexation application, including the adopted 437
Municipal Services Review (MSR) and respective Tax Share Agreements, are currently in effect and can be used for the efficient and streamlined processing of annexation of the Brar property. Preparation of these documents can be costly and involves abundant of staff time to process.
While the decision to consider annexation ultimately lies with the individual or group of property owners, the larger the area of Island B is successfully annexed, the more effective the City can coordinate and implement orderly growth and development within this portion of Village 5 Specific Plan area and the surrounding area through application of specific plan policy requirements and achieve the goals and objectives of the City of Lincoln General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Approval and authorization of the Brar property for annexation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15183, whereby projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified will not result in any new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of significant effects previously identified in the certified Final EIR for the Village 5 Specific Plan (SCH No. 2014-052071).
Therefore, no further analysis is required under CEQA.
CONCLUSION
As supported in the analysis above and detailed in the Resolution, staff recommends the City Council consider the Planning Commission approval recommendation of the Brar Property Pre-Annexation proceedings and authorize the City Manager to formally file an application with Placer County LAFCo for the annexation of the 115-acre property the within adopted Village 5 Specific Plan into the City of Lincoln.
LEVINE ACT COMPLIANCE:
The Levine Act requires a party (or the party’s agent(s)) to a proceeding before the City of Lincoln that involves any action or consideration to their contract, license, permit, or other entitlement for use, to disclose any campaign contribution made to City elected or appointed officer totaling more than $500 within the 12 months before the City decision. The applicant submitted a Levine Act Statement to the City and cited no contributions to a City elected or appointed officer totaling more than $500 within the reporting period.

Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to
unencumber funds from CIPV2512 Autocar EV garbage
collection vehicle and reallocate for Procurement of Tymco 500X Street Sweeper and Chevrolet Silverado EV. (Aaron
Hookins)
SUBMITTED BY:
Mike Osborne
DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
DATE:
April 28, 2026
Item Number 15.A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to:
1 .
Unencumber $900,000 from CIPV2512;
2 .
Augment the Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget by $540,000 creating two new CIPs; and 3 .
Execute purchase orders in the amounts of $450,000 for the procurement of one Tymco 500X street sweeper (CIPV2534) and $70,000 for the procurement of one Chevrolet EV pickup (CIPV2535).
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The Public Works budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27 includes an allocation of $900,000 for the purchase of an electric refuse collection vehicle. After careful evaluation, staff recommends deferring this purchase based on several considerations.
Available user feedback regarding the McNeilus Volterra indicates that the technology remains in a relatively early stage of development, with reported maintenance and reliability concerns exceeding those associated with conventional diesel-powered vehicles. In addition, staff has not identified any municipalities that have procured this specific model, limiting the availability of peer agency data and operational benchmarks.
Most significantly, California’s mandate requiring the city to increase from 50 percent to 100 percent zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) procurement has been postponed to start in 2030. This extension provides additional time for the technology to mature and for the market to stabilize, reducing the urgency of immediate adoption.
Street sweeping serves a critical role in municipal operations, providing both visible community benefits and essential environmental protection. In addition to improving neighborhood aesthetics and supporting public health, street sweeping is a key best management practice

(BMP) for stormwater management and water quality protection. It is also a required component of several municipal programs, including Solid Waste, Stormwater, Water Quality, and Economic Development.
In the interim, the City faces an urgent operational need for a second Tymco 500X street sweeper. Increased sweeping demands have exceeded current capacity, and the absence of an additional high-dump unit is constraining operational efficiency.
The existing Tymco 500X significantly enhances operations by eliminating the need for repeated trips to disposal sites, as it can discharge debris directly into a roll-off container. By comparison, the City’s older sweepers are less efficient and have become increasingly impractical, requiring substantially more time to complete the same workload. The Tymco 500X is capable of completing equivalent work in less than half the time. Staff have evaluated alternative sweepers; however, none have demonstrated comparable performance or operational features.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
In addition to lacking high-dump capability, the City’s existing sweepers are experiencing increasing reliability issues due to age and wear. Frequent mechanical failures—including hydraulic leaks and electrical malfunctions—have resulted in higher maintenance costs and operational disruptions. From a lifecycle perspective, these units are comparable to refuse collection vehicles, which typically become unreliable after seven to ten years of heavy use.
Similar to refuse trucks, street sweepers are complex, computer-controlled vehicles that operate in harsh, debris-laden environments, accelerating wear and contributing to declining reliability over time.
Given the operational advantages of the Tymco 500X street sweeper and the City’s increasing street sweeping demands, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to (1) amend the Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget by $540,000 and (2) execute purchase orders in the amounts of $450,000 for the procurement of one Tymco 500X street sweeper and $70,000 for the procurement of one Chevrolet Silverado EV.
Pursuant to California’s Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) purchase requirements under the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation, the City must offset the acquisition of the proposed diesel-powered street sweeper with the purchase of a zero-emission vehicle. To satisfy this requirement, staff recommends the purchase of a Chevrolet Silverado EV for use by the Solid Waste Division. This recommendation reflects current market availability, as the Ford F-150 Lightning EV is no longer in production.
Consequently, this action would replace the previously proposed purchase of a McNeilus Volterra electric residential refuse collection vehicle. The recommended approach represents a strategic reallocation of resources to address an immediate and high-impact operational need while maintaining compliance with California’s Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this equipment is included in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget under Fund 7310 (Solid Waste Capital), originally allocated for the purchase of an electric residential refuse collection vehicle (CIP V2512).
446
Budgeted (FY 2026/27):
CIP V2512 – EV Residential Garbage Truck
Fund 7310 – Solid Waste Capital: $900,000
Total:
$900,000
Staff recommends reprogramming a portion of these funds as follows:
Amount to be unencumbered from FY 2026/27: $900,000
Amount to be encumbered in FY 2025/26: $540,000
This reallocation results in a reduction of $360,000 to the adopted two-year FY 2025–27 budget in Fund 7310 Solid Waste Capital.
Estimated Project Costs (Fund 7310):
Tymco 500X Street Sweeper: $450,000
Chevrolet Silverado EV: $70,000
Contingency: $20,000
Total:
$540,000

WHEREAS, the Public Works budget for 26/27 includes $900,000 that was proposed for the purchase of an electric garbage truck; and
WHEREAS, the date for the 100 percent zero emission vehicle requirement has been delayed to January 1, 2030 and this concession allows more flexibility in vehicle purchases; and
WHEREAS, Staff has decided against the EV garbage truck proposal in light of a number of factors; and
WHEREAS, it has become clear that there is an immediate need to purchase a second Tymco 500x sweeper because of both the increased sweeping needs of the city and the lack of a second sweeper with high-dump capability; and
WHEREAS, the time-consuming challenge of frequent trips to the dump for emptying is avoided by the currently owned Tymco 500x, which streamlines the process by dumping into a conveniently located trash bin; and
WHEREAS, in comparison with the Tymco 500x, the city’s older technology sweepers, in addition to their unreliability because of wear and tear, have been rendered impractical in light of the greatly increased efficiency of the new sweeper which requires less than half the time to do the same amount of work; and
WHEREAS, for purposes of comparison, Staff has test driven other sweepers, none of which match the features and performance of the Tymco 500x; and
WHEREAS, California’s ZEV Purchase Schedule requires the city to buy a zero-emission vehicle to balance out the purchase of the diesel-powered sweeper proposed here, staff recommends a Chevrolet Silverado EV for use by the Solid Waste Division to satisfy this requirement.

Item Number 15.B
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute an agreement with MUN CPAs, LLP for financial auditing services for a five-year term for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026 through June 30, 2030, with the City retaining the option to renew the agreement for up to three additional one-year terms.
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION:
The City issued a Request for Proposals for Financial Auditing Services to obtain qualified certified public accountant firms to audit the City’s financial statements for five fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and to perform related audit and reporting services.
Proposals were due through PlanetBids on March 4, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The City received proposals from seven firms: MUN CPAs, LLP; Badawi & Associates; The Pun Group, LLP; Vasquez & Company, LLP; LSL, LLP; CliftonLarsonAllen LLP; and Harshwal & Company LLP. The proposals were evaluated by City finance professionals and the elected City Treasurer using the criteria identified in the Request for Proposals, including proposal completeness, comprehensiveness of services, public sector experience and references, strength and stability of the consultant, assigned relationship management team, and charges for services. The Request for Proposals also stated that the City’s final selection would not be dictated by any single factor, including price.
The Request for Proposals provided for a five-year contract term, with annual renewal options at the City’s discretion for up to three additional one-year terms.
FINDINGS/ANALYSIS:
Following review of the submitted proposals, MUN CPAs, LLP received the highest overall score with 280 points out of a possible 300. The other firms scored as follows: Badawi &

Associates, 274; The Pun Group, LLP, 269; Vasquez & Company, LLP, 268; LSL, LLP, 264; CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, 255; and Harshwal & Company LLP, 239.
Staff recommends award to MUN CPAs, LLP based on its top-ranked proposal, extensive governmental auditing experience, and demonstrated ability to provide the full range of services requested by the City. In its proposal, MUN confirmed its understanding of the required scope, including the audit of the City, the Lincoln Public Financing Authority, and the Successor Agency; preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report; performance of Single Audit services when required; preparation of State Controller reports; and annual agreed-upon procedures related to the City’s Gann Appropriations Limit.
MUN CPAs has served as the City’s auditor since 2017, providing continuity and institutional knowledge that supports an efficient audit process and minimizes disruption to City operations.
MUN’s proposal also states that the firm has the depth and flexibility to rotate engagement partners and key personnel as needed, which allows the City to maintain continuity with the same audit firm while also ensuring periodic partner rotation and a fresh professional perspective.
MUN’s proposed engagement team includes Erica Pastor, CPA, as Engagement Partner; Justin Williams, CPA, as Concurring Partner; and Susan Beeter, CPA, as Senior Manager.
MUN also emphasized extensive partner involvement, consistent and experienced staff, proactive communication, and availability to provide technical guidance on applicable GASB implementation issues at no additional charge for routine consultations.
Based on the evaluation results and the firm’s qualifications, staff has determined that MUN CPAs, LLP is best qualified to continue providing financial auditing services in a manner that serves the City’s best interests.
FISCAL IMPACT:
MUN CPAs, LLP proposed the following all-inclusive maximum fees for the base five-year term:
Fiscal Year 2025/26: $79,300
Fiscal Year 2026/27: $81,300
Fiscal Year 2027/28: $83,300
Fiscal Year 2028/29: $85,400
Fiscal Year 2029/30: $87,500
These fees include the City audit and related reports, Gann Limit procedures and report, Single Audit and related reports, and State Controller reports. MUN’s fee schedule includes one major program under the Single Audit, with each additional major program priced at $2,500.
The first-year contract amount of $79,300 will be funded through the Finance Department’s professional services budget, or the appropriate budgeted account for audit services.
