WHEREAS, on July 28, 2026 the City Council of the City of Lincoln did hold a duly noticed public hearing and, following discussion and public testimony, voted to approve the amended Village 7 Specific Plan (provided in Exhibit B).

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

Section 1. This Resolution incorporates, and by this reference makes a part hereof, that the Amendments to the Village 7 Specific Plan, substantially in the form attached here to as Exhibit B and on file with the Community Development Director, relative to the proposed land use and unit count changes.

Section 2. Pursuant to Section 18.92.060 of the Lincoln Municipal Code, the City Council finds and determines as follows:
a. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City’s 2050 General Plan, as amended by Resolution No. 2012-197 and proposed Resolution No. 2013-022 (the “General Plan”) because the Specific Plan implements the General Plan by integrating the General Plan policies related to guidelines for orderly growth and development within the City, to the City’s zoning regulations, subdivision regulation, intensity of development, land use and design of commercial uses, industrial uses and public facilities.
b. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs because it promotes flexibility and innovation in land use design through the use of planned unit development zoning and planning techniques that will provide a balanced community of residential, commercial, public and open space land uses. 1511
Resolution No. 2026-

c. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan’s Land Use Element because the Specific Plan’s land uses, policies and guidelines are consistent with the corresponding land use designations in the General Plan and General Plan Land Use Map and the intensity of development allowed by the General Plan. Specifically, the Amended Specific Plan allows for a range of residential densities, mixed use commercial, public and open space land use designations.
d. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan’s Parks and Recreation Element because it provides additional natural resource, open space and passive recreational designated lands through the establishment of open space land use designations (Open Space - Conservation) in order to provide more open space opportunities for City residents by designating approximately 35 percent of the Amended Specific Plan area as open space and habitat preservation and by providing a 162.0-acre off-site preserve (subject to an existing conservation easement) west of the plan area and north of the City of Lincoln Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility.
e. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan’s Circulation Element because it provides a circulation system for the Plan Area that implements the goals and policies as set forth in the General Plan’s Circulation and Transit Element and Public Facilities Element, ensuring that streets and highways will be available to serve the new development and provides for alternative transportation opportunities in the form of pedestrian way, bikeways and use of neighborhood electric vehicles.
f. The Amended Village 7 Specific Plan is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because it improves the economic conditions within the City by providing four acres of Village Mixed Use providing new neighborhood commercial uses and new employment opportunities and will draw new businesses to the City.

Section 3. Upon adoption of the Amendments to the Village 7 Specific Plan, the City Council directs the Community Development Director to retain said Village 7 Specific Plan on permanent public display in the Community Development Department of the City of Lincoln.

Section 4. Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution, and the evidence in the Staff Report, the City Council approves the Amendments to the Village 7 Specific Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit B and substantially in the form on file with the Community Development Department, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.

INTRODUCTION

1-2 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

1.1 OVERVIEW
The Village 7 Specific Plan guides the development of approximately 703 acres in south Placer County, within the southwest portion of the City of Lincoln. The Village 7 boundary was defined by the City’s 2050 General Plan, which was adopted in March 2008 and requires a specific plan to comprehensively plan land uses and associated infrastructure and services for the entirety of Village 7. This Specific Plan identifies four planning areas for future development within Village 7: the Lewis Property, the Aitken Ranch II Property, the Scheiber Property, and the Remainder Area. The boundary of the planning area is further described in Section 2, Context.

The development plan for Village 7 includes the creation of a distinctive community, anchored by a Village Center with neighborhood-serving retail uses, multi-family residential dwelling units, parks, a community center, and an elementary school. The Village Center supports the surrounding residential community that includes a variety of housing types, a community park and extensive park and open space amenities. In addition to presenting these new benefits to the City, Village 7 provides a logical and orderly extension of the city limits for the City of Lincoln and is compatible with surrounding uses.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1523

INTRODUCTION
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 1-3
The land use form for Village 7 is organized into a series of interconnected neighborhoods, which were designed to meet the ‘smart growth’ principles of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ (SACOG) regional Blueprint process that concluded in 2004. Each of the neighborhoods is focused around a central green that provides identity to the neighborhoods and will help foster a sense of community. The neighborhoods are structured to accommodate a mix of new and traditional housing types ranging from single family to multi-family dwellings. This mix of housing types is reflective of the diversity of lifestyle and pricing considerations found in the housing market and addresses significant future growth anticipated in the City of Lincoln and the south Placer region. The incorporation of sustainable design principles, and the protection and enhancement of natural features, are key principles of the development. In accordance with General Plan Policy # LU-15.14, forty percent (40%) of Village 7 is designated for open space, parks, trails, and recreational uses. The intent of this open space policy is to contribute to the community’s quality of life by creating a compact and sustainable urban ecology that respects the existing natural environment and enhances many of the existing ecological functions. The natural and built environments are planned with long-term sustainability in mind.

1.2 EVOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE 7 SPECIFIC PLAN
The Village 7 Specific Plan was designed and written in conjunction with the preparation of the City of Lincoln’s 2050 General Plan and, as a result, is reflective of the evolution of the City’s General Plan.

In 2002, during the initial stages of the City’s General Plan update process, the City Council established a set of processing protocols for individual development projects that desired to proceed concurrentconcurrently with the City’s General Plan update. Lewis Planned Communities, in conjunction with its proposed Lewis Property development, was the first project proponent to submit a development application pursuant to the City’s newly established processing protocols. The first draft Specific Plan for the Lewis Property consisted of a 516-acre land area located to the west of the Lincoln Crossing Specific Plan area, accessed via the extension of Ferrari Ranch Road. At that time, Lewis’ proposed development constituted the entirety of the General Plan’s newly identified “Village 7” geographic area.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1524

INTRODUCTION

1-4 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
In late Summer 2005, the City’s General Plan Steering Committee expanded the geographic size of Village 7. This was coupled with a recommended General Plan policy that a village-wide Specific Plan be completed prior to the approval of any development within a defined village. The result was that additional properties were added to the original Specific Plan boundary, and the owners of these properties had not yet completed the same level of planning as Lewis had for the Lewis Property.

Because the owners of these other properties had differing long-term expectations and desires for their land, it was determined that Village 7 could be divided into separate “planning areas.” This would allow the entire village to be master-planned consistentconsistently with the General Plan’s directives. However, this would also allow individual properties (or planning areas) to complete project-level planning at different times in the future (by incorporation into the Village 7 General Development Plan), within the confines of the overarching Village 7 development framework.

In recognition of the substantial planning efforts completed by Lewis dating back to 2002, and in combination with the City and the other property owners within the newly expanded Village 7, the following approach for the planning of Village 7 was collectively agreed upon to account for the varying levels of property owner participation.

1. Specific Plan
The Village 7 Specific Plan will be prepared for all properties within the Village 7 geographic area. It will have a general level of detail, while still ensuring compliance with the statutory requirements for specific plans under state law. In particular, the specific plan will focus on establishing the plan-wide land uses and mobility systems (automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian) and providing plans to implement the supporting public services, facilities, and major infrastructure systems. Additional information about the function of a Specific Plan is provided in Sections 1.3 and 1.6 later in this chapter.

2. General Development Plan
A General Development Plan (GDP) will be prepared for the entirety of Village 7. Each planning area may be incorporated into the GDP when full development entitlements are sought by an individual planning area. The first planning area to seek full development entitlements will have a lead role in preparing the Village 7 GDP, and as other planning areas seek full development entitlements, the GDP will be amended to incorporate them.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1525

INTRODUCTION
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 1-5
The GDP constitutes the project-level planning of the land use framework established in the Specific Plan, providing a higher level of specificity for development activities. This will include a land use regulatory guide; permitted uses and development standards; design guidelines for building architecture and landscape architecture; and detailed implementation mechanisms that outline public services, circulation, infrastructure, and resource management plans.

Additional information about the function of the GDP relative to this Specific Plan is further outlined in Section 1.4 later in this chapter. A detailed list of the required contents for the GDP is provided in Section 9.4, in Chapter 9, Implementation.

By emphasizing an additional level of detail within the GDP and allowing the GDP to be amended as individual planning areas seek full development entitlements, each planning area can proceed on its own timeline, buttimeline but remain consistent with the overarching Specific Plan.

The GDP and associated entitlements for the initial participating party (Lewis Property) were approved with adoption of the Village 7 Specific Plan and certification of the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report.

Future development entitlements for Village 7’s other planning areas will require future City approval of a General Development Plan amendment that reflects project-level planning, as well as related entitlements and subsequent review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

No development may proceed in a planning area prior to adoption of an amended GDP, a Development Agreement, and associated entitlements for that area.

1.3 THE SPECIFIC PLAN TOOL
A specific plan is a planning and regulatory tool intended to implement a city or county general plan through the development of policies, programs, and regulations that provide an intermediate level of detail between the general plan and individual development projects.

The Village 7 Specific Plan is the primary land use, policy, and regulatory document used to guide the overall development of the project area. It establishes a development framework for land use, mobility, utilities and services, resource protection, and implementation. The intent is to promote the systematic and orderly development of Village 7. All subsequent development projects and related activities are required to be consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan. Refer to Specific Plan Section 9.8.4 for information on Substantial Conformity.

INTRODUCTION

1-6 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
The authority to prepare and adopt specific plans and the requirements for content are set forth in Sections 65450 through 65457 of the California Government Code (Planning and Zoning Law). As a mechanism for the implementation of the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan, State law stipulates that specific plans can only be adopted or amended if they are consistent with the jurisdiction’s adopted General Plan. This Specific Plan has been developed consistentconsistently with the policies of the City of Lincoln 2050 General Plan as well as other applicable State and local regulations.

1.4 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REQUIREMENT
A General Development Plan (GDP) is a tool used by the City to implement master-planned developments such as the Village 7 Specific Plan. A GDP functions as the zoning code for a Specific Plan, providing the regulatory guide, development standards, and other criteria needed to administer review of individual projects within the planned development. All subsequent development projects and related activities are required to be consistent with the intent of the General Development Plan. Refer to General Development Plan Section 8.5.4 for information on Substantial Conformity.

A GDP must be approved by the City prior to the commencement of any development activity within the respective planning area. Upon initial adoption of the GDP, full land use and zoning entitlements were only granted to the participating planning areas within Village 7, which included the 516-a Acre Lewis Property planning area only. As each of the remaining, non-participating planning areas seek full development entitlements, the GDP must be amended to include them. In 20265, an amendment to the GDP to include the Scheiber Property (28 acres) and the Aitkein Ranch II property (121 acres) was sought and approved.

Amendments to the GDP may be used to identify additional standards for a specific planning area within Village 7.

An adopted GDP establishes a Planned Development zoning designation on a participating planning area(s) and provides the specific uses, standards, guidelines, and other regulations to ensure projects are built out in accordance with the Village 7 Specific Plan.

The General Development Plan prepared to implement the Village 7 Specific Plan must include certain elements related to land use, circulation, and services, which are supported by development standards and design guidelines. The required contents and associated level of Attachment 8 Exhibit B

1.6 SPECIFIC PLAN RELATED DOCUMENTS
Several documents work in tandem with this Specific Plan to provide policy guidance for implementationthe implementation of the project.

Existing documents including the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, and various City master plans (i.e., parks, utilities, bikeways, etc.), have been previously adopted by the City and are actively used to plan for, and implement, development projects.

In addition, the following documents are applicable to, and should be referenced in, the review and implementation of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

1. General Development Plan
A companion document to the Specific Plan, and includes a land use regulatory guide, permitted uses, development standards, and design guidelines to direct the buildout of Village 7.

2. Development Agreements
Contracts between the City and Village 7’s various property owners that vest development rights, outline infrastructure improvement obligations, and specify infrastructure timing and financing mechanisms related to development of Village 7. (Note:

Development agreements may not be required for smaller remainder areas.)

3. Environmental Impact Report
An assessment of the potential direct and indirect environmental effects associated with the development of Village 7 and includes a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan.

The relationship of these documents and their application for implementing the Specific Plan are further discussed in Chapter 9, Implementation.

CONTEXT

2-2 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
The Village 7 Specific Plan is located southwest of the City of Lincoln in south Placer County. Lincoln is located on State Route 65 (SR 65), north of the Interstate 80 (I-80) urban corridor and the cities of Roseville and Rocklin (see Figure 2-
1, Regional Context).

Figure 2-1: Regional
Context
The City of Lincoln,
and the
Sacramento/Placer
region in general,
have and are
anticipated to
continue to
experience
significant growth.

This growth can be
attributed to the
region’s overall
quality of life,
relatively affordable
housing, positive
business climate with
a strong job base,
availability of land zoned for future business development, seismic stability, extensive transportation systems, nearby recreational opportunities, and an abundant, well-trained, and educated labor force.

There is a strong demand for residential development in the Lincoln area as employment centers within south Placer County move east along I-80 and north along the SR 65 corridor. SACOG projects that the City of Lincoln population will more than double in size by the year 2025. These projections are a result of an extensive regional planning effort, the Sacramento Region Blueprint, which SACOG completed in 2004. As a result, additional residential development in Lincoln is expected to be in high demand as population and employment in the greater Sacramento region continues to grow. This growth will be a contributing factor in achieving the City’s General Plan goal of creating an economically sustainable community.

2.2 VILLAGE 7’s LOCAL CONTEXT
Village 7 is generally bounded by Auburn Ravine to the north, the City’s Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRF) and other nondeveloped lands to the west; the approved Aitken Ranch (Sorrento), 3D South, and Lincoln Crossing residential developments to the east; and the Orchard Creek Wetlands Preserve area to the south (see Figure 2-2, Local Context). In addition, the new alignment of State Route 65 is located to the east, adjacent to the northeast corner of Village 7 and was under construction at the time of Specific Plan approval. The Specific Plan’s edges are consistent with the boundary identified in the City’s General Plan for Village 7. Most of the lands surrounding Village 7 are developed, designated for development, or established as preserves.

2.3 VILLAGE 7’s PLANNING AREAS
The City of Lincoln’s General Plan identifies future
growth areas through a series of “Villages,”
geographic areas in the City’s Sphere of Influence
that will be individually planned to foster orderly
buildout of the City. Related policies require that
each village be comprehensively planned with
respect to land use, circulation, public facilities,
and infrastructure.

Consistent with the General Plan’s requirements,
the Village 7 Specific Plan is a comprehensive
planning tool for the entire Village 7 geographic
area. However, recognizing that the Specific Plan
area has multiple land ownerships that may cause
portions of the village to develop separately and
under different timelines, the Specific Plan divides
Village 7 into several planning areas. By structuring
Village 7 with multiple planning areas under a
single, comprehensive plan, a framework is
established that affords each planning area to
develop on its own accord, while maintaining
consistency with the overarching Specific Plan. This
framework also allows each planning area to
secure future development entitlements (via a
General Development Plan and Development
Agreement) on timelines specific to each planning
area.

The Village 7 Specific Plan is divided into four distinct planning areas:
 the Lewis Property (516 acres),
 the Aitken Ranch II Property (121 acres), and
 the Scheiber Property (26 acres), and
 the Remainder Area (40 acres).

These planning areas, as they relate to Village 7’s boundary, are conceptually illustrated on Figure 2-3.

Where appropriate to provide specific details regarding characteristics of the project, this Specific Plan will refer to a planning area by name (for instance, the Lewis Property). References to individual planning areas will be used when information applies to only one planning area, rather than the entirety of Village 7.

CONTEXT
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 2-5

2.4 SITE CONTEXT
Village 7 consists primarily of undeveloped grasslands, the majority of which have been extensively farmed. The northern and southern branches of Ingram Slough border the Lewis Property planning area to the east, merging to form a small man-made lake adjacent to the site. From there, Ingram Slough enters the Lewis
Property along its eastern boundary, bisecting the site east to west and eventually feeding into Orchard Creek. In
addition, Auburn Ravine borders Village 7’s northern
boundary.

Village 7’s terrain is generally level, consisting of natural drainages, wetlands, vernal pools, riparian habitat, some oak trees, and vegetation consistent with what is typically found in native and non-native grassland. The area has
been historically used for agricultural and ranching
operations. Given the relatively level topography and
lack of woodlands, outward views from the site are readily available, including the Sierra Nevada to the east, Auburn Ravine to the north, and the natural preserve areas to the south.

Small portions of Village 7’s north and northwestern edges are within two over-flight zones for the Lincoln Regional Airport (see Figure 2-4). The portions of Village 7 within the C1 over-flight zone have restrictions that limit densities. In addition, portions of Village 7 located to the east and south of the C1 zone boundary are within the D over-flight zone, which does not limit residential densities.

The one-mile residential buffer associated with the
Western Regional Sanitary Landfill extends to a small
portion of the southwest corner of Village 7,
within the Lewis Property planning area.

The natural and man-made elements help
define the limits of the Village 7’s developable
area and give shape to its resulting urban
form. While they are constraints, they are also
opportunities. Wherever possible, sensitive
environmental areas are preserved and
enhanced, and buffer areas are respected.

3.1 VISION FOR A NEW COMMUNITY

3.1.1 Overview
In its undeveloped state, the 703-acre Village 7 Specific Plan is comprised of rural agricultural land, mostly open, punctuated by areas of wetlands and sloughs that create a pattern of natural open space.

The development plan proposes the creation of a distinctive community organized around these open space elements and anchored by a Village Center that serves as a focal point of activity for the community.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1539

COMMUNITY DESIGN FRAMEWORK
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 3-3
Supported by the Village Center, the key elements of Village 7 seek to create a community based on distinct residential neighborhoods and generous open space, landscaping and public amenities, which are connected through a comprehensive pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle circulation network. The planning goals and principles outlined in this Specific Plan are intended to set a standard for healthy community building, provide for mixed incomes and age groups, encourage diversity in housing types, incorporate sustainable design principles, and protect and enhance the sensitive natural features of the site.

The vision for Village 7 starts with respect for the natural and cultural setting of the site. This includes wetlands and sloughs, views of the Sierra Nevada, wind and sun, and proximity to downtown historic Lincoln.

The proposed uses are carefully fitted into this setting through a merging of the environmental, recreational, and residential environments. In short, the vision for Village 7 is to work with the land to build on the natural quality of the site and incorporate and thread it throughout the community.

The Village 7 land plan calls for a variety of housing, ranging from single family to multi-family dwellings, organized within a series of distinct residential neighborhoods. Each of the neighborhoods is focused around a park space that provides identity to the neighborhoods and an opportunity for residents to meet and interact. Similarly, the community is anchored by a Village Center incorporating recreation, school, commercial, and high-density residential uses that provide a central activity point and identity for Village 7. Expansive areas within Village 7 will be devoted to an open space system and planned recreational amenities designed to encourage residents to get out of their cars, play, exercise, walk, ride bikes, and generally enjoy their community. In addition, a network of linear parkways and paseos connect all of Village 7’s neighborhoods.

3.1.2 Organizing Principles
Village 7’s planning and design principles are based on an integrative planning approach utilizing current progressive thinking from resources such as The Congress for New Urbanism, Ahwahnee Principles, Principles of Smart Growth, Urban Land Institute, SACOG, and the Local Government Commission. The principles promoted by these organizations are integral to the planning process on many levels and are the fundamental organizing principles that structure the form of the development.

These principles are incorporated throughout this Specific Plan and are summarized below.

1. The plan must have a well-defined public realm, supported by built and unbuilt environments, reflecting the region’s natural ecology and culture.

2. These natural and built environments must be planned and integrated as a sustainable place for communities of people, plants, and wildlife.

3. A vibrant and sustainable built environment must be diverse in use and population, provide significant public benefits, be scaled for the pedestrian, and capable of providing alternatives to the automobile.

The approach of “working with the land” and “creating community” contributes to a genuine quality of life that is a mixture of the environment one lives in, and the unique built community created around that environment. Figure 3-1, Illustrative Land Use Plan, reflects this approach.

3.2 WORKING WITH THE LAND
A goal for the planning of Village 7 is to create a compact and sustainable urban ecology that respects the existing natural environment and enhances many of the existing ecological functions. At the broadest level, the project land planning incorporates natural functions that define limits of developable areas and give shape to the urban form. This includes such elements as the wetlands and sloughs. These environmentally sensitive areas are to remain in their natural condition, wherever possible, and will
be further enhanced under
the provisions of the
applicable Open Space
Operations and
Management Plan(s), to
promote wildlife habitat and
provide corridors for
pedestrian circulation.

At the finest level of detail,
the General Development
Plan includes project-level
strategies for future
development within each
planning area. This includes
approaches such as green
building design that
encourages energy efficient
homes, and the use of
recycled and renewable
products. At the landscape
level, recycled water will be
utilized from the City’s wastewater treatment and reclamation facility as it becomes available, and plants will be selected that are water conserving, can mitigate wind, and provide for sun/shade control.

The key natural land elements and corresponding principles that have influenced the form of the development are highlighted in this section.

3.2.1 Hydrology and Wetlands
An important environmental component that shapes the character and function of Village 7 is hydrology. This includes everything from flood control and storm water management, the use of recycled water in the landscape, and the preservation of wetlands.

Hydrological principles related to the planning of the VillageVillage 7 include the following.

1. Respect existing surface drainage patterns, including Ingram Slough and Auburn Ravine, and incorporate them into the plan.

2. Combine flood protection and open space recreation in a multifunctional approach, such as the use of the 100-year flood plains, sloughs, and storm water detention/retention basins, as visual and recreational amenities.

3. Integrate storm water management practices to capture and infiltrate the majority of storm water runoff on site. Protect ground water quality by providing bio-filtration of surface runoff.

4. Minimize use of underground storm drainage pipes and maximize surface drainage, where feasible.

5. Conserve water and provide watershed stewardship. Encourage the use of recycled water and water conserving plants, where appropriate.

6. Preserve and enhance the biological value of wetland resources. 

3.2.2 Views
Village 7 contains significant views that are framed by the Sierra Nevada in the distance. The proposed land uses are carefully set into the site to protect and utilize the significant natural visual amenities. Numerous view corridors are incorporated throughout the development so that whether walking, bicycling, or driving visual “openings” are retained.

Principles related to the preservation of views include the following.

1. Provide view corridors to frame significant visual resources including distant views to the mountains, and local views into the open space wetlands and sloughs.

2. Ensure that views from Ferrari Ranch and Moore Roads are attractively treated by setting homes back from the road and incorporating a wide band of planting and low berms to create a rural image and a reminder of Lincoln’s agrarian not-to-distant past.

3.2.3 Setbacks and Buffers
Just west of Village 7 is the City’s Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRF). In April 2006, the City completed an Odor Emissions Evaluation to determine the potential effects associated with the WWTRF.

The report concluded that no odor contours, which could impact residential development, would extend into Village 7. A portion of Village 7 is encumbered by an over-flight zone for the Lincoln Regional Airport, and a small portion of the southwest corner of the Lewis Property planning area is included in the one-mile residential buffer associated with the Western Regional Sanitary Landfill. The development is designed to respect these setbacks and buffers.

Principles related to the setbacks and buffers include the following.

1. Provide a community park in the western portion of the Lewis Property planning area, which would create a recreational amenity and provide a buffer between homes and the WWTRF.

2. Tailor the land uses within that portion of the site where the type and amount of uses are limited by the C1 airport over-flight zone.

Pursuant to the regulations for development within the over-flight zone, uses could include a combination of very low-density singlefamily homes on large lots, public facilities such as a fire station, library, or neighborhood park, and open space areas such as nature preserves and drainage corridors.

3. Maintain open space use on the far southwest corner of the site influenced by the one-mile Western Regional Sanitary Landfill buffer.

3.3. CREATING COMMUNITY
The physical form of Village 7 responds to several Specific Plan objectives that seek to “create community” – a place with a clear and distinct identity through its traditional neighborhood design elements. The intent is to create a community that has a central gathering place, where homes are engaged with the public realm, streets are comfortable for walking and biking, recreational facilities are sited frequently, and paseos and linear parkways are used to create strong physical and visual linkages throughout the Plan Area.

Village 7’s development framework is guided by several key elements that achieve the community’s desired physical form. First and foremost, the Village Center is envisioned as the community’s signature element. Sited in the heart of the new community, it functions as the central gathering space and provides a combination of higher-intensity civic, public, commercial, and/or residential uses.

From the Village Center, a series of residential neighborhoods extend outward through the Plan Area. Residential neighborhoods are anchored by a small park space and will be linked to the community via an extensive system of paseos, linear parkways, and open space corridors.

As reflected on the Illustrative Land Use Plan (Figure 3-1), these elements provide the ingredients for a community where people can meet and feel a sense of civic involvement and pride in their community.

At a project-specific level, the General Development Plan incorporates provisions that promote a pedestrian friendly scale, active tree lined streets, homes with living spaces oriented to the street, and publicly engaging common areas.

The principles that guided the design of Village 7’s land use framework to “create community,” noted below, are described in this section.

3.3.1 Village Center
A defining element of the Village 7 Specific Plan is its Village Center, a district with a mix of uses that provide public gathering spaces, an elementary school, active recreation amenities, retail opportunities, and/or housing. Sited at the crossroads of Ferrari Ranch Road and Liberty Parkway (formerly the Central Boulevard), the Village
Center is centrally located within the Specific Plan area, creating a visually defining element for the community.

The Village Center fronts a major roadway and the
extensive open space system. This configuration gives the Village Center significant accessibility for all forms of mobility, both internally between each site, and externally via roadways, linear parkways, bike paths, and pedestrian paths. Ultimately, this core strengthens Village 7’s sense of place.

The Village Center provides a mixture of land uses
intended to support Village 7’s residents. A Village Mixed Use site is included in the Center’s core, providing
opportunities for neighborhood retail uses and recreation.

Adjacent public uses provide opportunities for construction of parks and an elementary school. Finally, several
medium-and-high-density residential parcels are sited
adjacent to the Village Center, placing goods and
services in proximity to the Plan Area’s higher-density residential neighborhoods.

Principles related to the Village Center’s form and function include the following.

1. Create a sense of place by having a distinct Village Center, with definable edges and internal/external
connections.

2. Provide a mixture of land uses that support Village 7’s residents, that may include parks, civic uses, retail sites, a school, and housing.

3. Establish strong physical and visual connections
between the Village Center’s land uses, Village 7’s
neighborhoods, and adjacent roadway and open
space systems.

4. Provide sites to accommodate community defining
elements, such as active use parks, a school, and/or
other public facilities.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1549

COMMUNITY DESIGN FRAMEWORK
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 3-13

5. Create high density housing opportunities in proximity to the Village Center’s
core to promote activity
and facilitate walking
and biking, rather than
driving.

3.3.2 Residential Neighborhoods
The residentialResidential neighborhoods are the base
element of the community, the place where people will
live and spend a good portion of their time (see Figure 3- 2). Each residential neighborhood is anchored by a park space, sited at each neighborhood’s entrance to create
a sense of arrival. In some cases, higher-density
residential blocks are located along the edges of mini
parks, helping frame the public space, create a sense of enclosure, and place the park space in proximity to each neighborhood’s highest residential concentration.

The neighborhoods are intended to offer a mix of housing types, ranging from single-family detached to higher
density attached dwellings. This will provide diversity to each residential neighborhood and will also allow a
range of lifestyle and pricing options. This mix will provide a high degree of choice, and will help foster a stronger sense of place, and highlight the social fabric for the community and City of Lincoln.

Principles related to the residential neighborhoods include the following.

1. Define neighborhood edges by the existing sloughs and wetland areas to the extent practicable.

2. Facilitate development patterns that incorporate smaller residential blocks, where breaks are provided at regular intervals, either via streets or paseos, which enhance cross-connectivity between neighborhoods.

3. Site higher-density residential uses near parks to frame the public spaces and to enhance pedestrian access to these recreational amenities.

4. Give priority to the design of the public realm by encouraging home orientation toward streets, paseos, and public spaces, creating streetscapes with landscaped parkways and large tree canopies, and providing adequate flexibility to accommodate a variety of housing types.

5. Establish a centrally located park in residential neighborhoods to function as the focal and gathering point for each neighborhood.

3.3.3 Neighborhood Connectivity
One of the most significant elements that reinforces Village 7’s sense of place is its high level of connectivity. All the Village 7’s planning areas, and the residential neighborhoods within each, are
interconnected through a combination of roadways,
paseos, linear parkways, and open space areas. The
intent is to provide convenient access village-wide for pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles. In addition,
the neighborhoods have strong visual linkages with
one otheranother. The intent is to create a
community where the residential neighborhoods are
highly integrated with one another, blurring the lines
between conventional subdivisions, so all residents
can live and recreate in an extremely walkable
environment.

The community design principles that foster Village 7’s neighborhood connectivity include the following.

1. Provide a system of parks, open space, linear parkways, and paseos that can be linked together to enhance pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.

2. Utilize street design standards and traffic calming features (such as roundabouts) to moderate automobile speeds and flows in a manner that enhances pedestrian walkability and that creates a comfortable environment for bicycling.

3. Establish street networks that will provide a high degree of multidirectional connectivity within and between neighborhoods, which limit long, circuitous roads or cul-de-sacs, and provide drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians with multiple choices for transportation routes.

4. Establish a healthy community by creating open, comfortable, and walkable streets that minimize barriers and emphasize the pedestrian over the automobile.

5. Establish pedestrian, bike, and trail loop systems with off-road and onroad routes that link each of the residential neighborhoods with Village 7’s recreation areas, open space areas, the elementary school, and Village Center.

6. Connect to the City-wide trail system with links to downtown Lincoln providing an option for people to walk or bike instead of drive.

7. Provide electric car circulation and consider options for potential future connection to downtown Lincoln.

7. 3.3.4 Open Space, Landscape,
and Recreation
The development provides a wide
range of recreation opportunities from
intimate small tot lots to facilities for
large groups. Most of the
neighborhoods have a “green” at the
heart of the neighborhood. These mini
parks function as neighborhood parks
and are approximately one to over
three acres in size.

Principles related to open space,
landscape and recreation include the
following.

1. Set aside open space, recreation,
and landscape areas.

2. Establish a network of open space
and recreation amenities
including a community park,
neighborhood parks, mini parks, linear parkways, paseos, and pedestrian and bike connections throughout the site, with connections to the planned regional bikeway system along Auburn Ravine.

3. Site parks within residential neighborhoods providing , which provides both active and passive recreation opportunities and functions as the neighborhood’s central gathering node.

4. Provide a range of passive and active recreation opportunities, such as ball fields, hard courts, trails, gathering spaces, and picnicking areas.

5. Use open space setbacks along roadways, augmented with earthen berming and vegetation, to provide noise attenuation.

6. Provide recycled water for landscape irrigation in public areas such as landscape corridors, paseos, medians, and parks, thereby allowing the opportunity to create a “greener” landscape.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1554

COMMUNITY DEIGN FRAMEWORK

3-18 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

7. Establish open space recreation areas in landscape setbacks with multi-use functions.

3.3.5 Public and Civic Spaces
Several public and civic spaces are provided within Village 7. In the core of the community, the Village Center includes two park sites and an elementary school, providing recreation and education opportunities.

One of these park sites may provide a location for a fire station. These elements form
centers of activity
for the entire
community.

Principles related to
public and civic
spaces include the
following.

1. Provide civic
spaces and
buildings that are distinct, provide spaces for people to gather, and reinforce community identity.

Locate an elementary school within the Village Center, creating a distinct learning and activity hub for children and adults.

2. Provide spaces for the City’s use
that could accommodate a fire
station.

3.3.6 History and “Cultural Stamp”
Planning and design for the
development use patterns and
elements from the past to help define
the present in ways that contribute to
a sense of tradition and reinforce the
identity of Village 7 as an integral part
of Lincoln and the Sierra Nevada

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1555

COMMUNITY DESIGN FRAMEWORK
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 3-19
Principles related to history and traditions include:

1. Foster a development pattern that follows the older, established residential neighborhoods of Lincoln, thereby reinforcing Village 7’s connection with the city’s historical context.

2. Use a pattern of tree planting throughout common areas and linear parkways to reflect the agricultural heritage of the area.

3. Create a development framework that respects the natural resources and preserves existing drainages.

3.3.7 Services and Implementation
A high level of public services is an important component of quality of life.

Roadways, utilities, fire and police protection, school and park facilities need to be provided as development occurs and appropriate mechanisms need to be in place to secure such services and associated infrastructure.

Principles related to services and implementation include the following.

1. Provide and maintain services and infrastructure that meet or exceed City standards and integrate such items with other existing and planned facilities and connections.

2. Establish financing mechanisms for all public facility improvements as development occurs, in accordance with applicable Phasing Plans and Development Agreements.

3. Develop a phasing plan to facilitate the timely construction of the elementary school, parks and recreational facilities, and retail areas.

4.1 OVERVIEW
Village 7 consists of a mix of complementary land uses designed to achieve the Specific Plan’s vision and principles for a new community, while recognizing the environmental sensitivities of the area. The mix of uses is intended to contribute to the overall residential needs of the City of Lincoln and the region, while providing additional recreation opportunities, all within a sound, sustainable, environmental footprint.

The Village 7 land use plan incorporates the design elements needed to “create community”, consistent with the community design framework described in section 3.3 of this Specific Plan. It includes a blend of residential, recreational, retail, open space, and public uses, which are organized such that traditional neighborhood design concepts guide the physical form of the community as development occurs.

The new community is organized into a series of distinct residential neighborhoods, which are each anchored by a park space and are structured to accommodate a mix of new and traditional housing types ranging from single-family to multi-family dwellings.

The centrally located Village Center is a defining element of Village 7; the site is located along Ferrari Ranch Road adjacent to the Central BoulevardLiberty Parkway. With an interconnected mix of land uses, this district provides sites to accommodate parks, an elementary school, and neighborhood retail uses. The Village Center also includes sites for medium-and-high-density residential.

Forty percent (40%) of the Plan Area is designated tor for open space, trail, and recreational uses. Included isare the protection and enhancement of the existing drainages, wetlands, and other significant natural features on the site. Refer to Section

4.6 in this Chapter for additional detail.

4.2 LAND USE PLAN
Village 7’s land use designations are reflected on Figure 4-1 and are summarized in Table 4-1. A more detailed summary of the land uses and dwelling units located within each of Village 7’s planning areas is provided in Table 4-2.

The planned zoning designation for all areas in the Village 7 Specific Plan is Planned Development (PD), as defined in Section 18.32 of the City of Lincoln Zoning Ordinance. The PD district is intended “to encourage and provide for a creative and more flexible approach to the use of land; to maximize the choices of types of living environments available to people in the city; and to encourage more efficient allocation and maintenance of common open space through the redistribution of overall densities where such a rearrangement is desirable and feasible” (Zoning Ordinance Section 18.32.010).

The PD zoning designation allows the City to adopt a General Development Plan (GDP) for Village 7, which functions as the Specific Plan’s primary zoning implementation tool. Application of the GDP provides flexibility in the establishment of development standards, including required yards (setbacks), lot area and width, lot coverage, and other provisions. Further, as provided in Section 18.32.020 of the Zoning Ordinance, the PD district allows “various uses to be combined…provided that combinations of uses results in a balanced and stable environment.” In accordance with the PD district, the
Village 7 Specific Plan provides
forprovides flexibility in the application
of development standards and
permitted uses. This flexibility is
reflective of the unique attributes of the
site and the dynamic nature of the
evolving housing market. Flexibility is
important to accommodate the mix of
new and traditional housing and other
development types envisioned, and in
achieving the overall principles of
Village 7.

Development in Village 7 is regulated through a General Development Plan and applies only to those planning areas that are incorporated into it. (As subsequent planning areas are granted development entitlements, the GDP will be amended to reflect the project-level planning for that area.) As a zoning tool, the GDP provides the land use regulatory guide, permitted uses, development standards, and design guidelines to regulate development within each planning area.

1565

LAND USE PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 4-9
The GDP also works in conjunction with the City of Lincoln Zoning Ordinance to achieve the vision and principles of the Village 7 Specific Plan. The General Development Plan constitutes the development regulations for the overlying PD zoning districts and identifies considerations unique to the character and development objectives of each planning area in Village 7. Guidelines and standards are included to facilitate the design and review of individual development projects. All development in Village 7 is required to comply with this Specific Plan and the regulations set forth in the General Development Plan.

At the time of Specific Plan approval, the City adopted the Village 7 General Development Plan to provide regulations for the initial participating party (Lewis Property) planning area in Village 7.

Amendments to the GDP will be processed for Village 7’s other planning areas as full development entitlements are sought.

4.4 RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS

4.4.1 Concept
Village 7 is organized into a series of residential neighborhoods (see Figure 3-2). The edges of the neighborhoods are defined by existing sloughs and drainages, wetland areas, other natural features, and planned roadways, which ultimately fit in the boundary established by the General Plan for Village 7. Each neighborhood includes a park space that will serve as a focal and gathering area. Neighborhoods are sized so that residents are typically no farther than an easy one-quarter mile walk from the neighborhood park space. Clear pedestrian interconnections are provided between the neighborhoods, the adjacent open space areas, and the Village Center. The intent is to create a sense of place in the neighborhoods by incorporating
elements into the public realm that
residents can relate to and identify as
home.

The residential neighborhoods will
offer a mix of new and traditional
housing options that will serve a wide
variety of residents. This mix will range
from detached single-family
homes,from detached single-family
homes to innovative attached and
detached mid-range density housing
products, to higher density multifamily homes.

The mix of housing types is reflective of the diversity of lifestyle and pricing considerations found in the evolving and ever-changing housing market, and addresses future growth anticipated in the City of Lincoln and the south Placer region. The residential neighborhoods will provide opportunities for a mix of housing types for all ages, lifestyles, and households.

Select residential areas in the Plan Area are designated VLDR and/or VMDR, with a range in number of possible units. In these areas, VHDR is a permitted use. This flexibility is intentional, to allow for flexibility in market demand for housing. Refer to Figure 4-1, Land Use Plan, and Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for more detail. Refer also to the Lincoln Village 7 GDP for additional information.

Village 7’s neighborhood design emphasizes enhanced streetscapes, variable front yard setbacks, lane-loaded garage options, and an extensive system of multi-use trails and sidewalks designed to provide a walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment. One of the primary goals for Village 7 is to create housing that is both high qualityquality and varied in design. Considerable flexibility in
neighborhood design is provided through
the application of the PD district, which will
be further guided by the General
Development Plan.

The Village 7 Specific Plan includes provisions
that permit the transfer of units within each
planning area in response to market
demand, subdivision, and/or design review
considerations: see Section 9.8 for details.

In 2026, a new
residential land use
category, VMHDR,
was introduced to
the Plan that allows
a density range of
6-18 du/ac. This
wide range is
intentional to allow
for flexibility in
market demand for
housing. Refer to

4.6 OPEN SPACE, PARKS, AND PUBLIC USES

4.6.1 Open Space, Parks, and Public Uses Concept
Multiple areas within Village 7 will be devoted to open space and recreation uses with amenities designed to encourage residents to get out of their cars, play, exercise, walk, ride bikes, and generally enjoy their community. The land use plan includes sites designated for Village Open Space Preserve (VOS), Village Park and Recreation (VPR), Linear Parkways (VOS), and
Major Paseos (VOS). In addition, land for an Elementary School (ES) site has been provided within Village 7. The combination of open space, parks, and a school site is
intended to provide opportunities for extended learning and continuing education for the community, reinforcing the concept of a community gathering place.

Village Open Space (Preserve)
Open space, and its associated natural functions, helps shape the visual character and urban form of Village 7. (Refer to tables 4.1 and 4.2 for specific details on open space preserve areas in Village 7.)
The Specific Plan includes a broad system of public and private open space encompassing significant
environmental resources such as drainages, wetlands,
grasslands, and riparian woodlands. Environmentally
sensitive areas are to remain in their natural condition, wherever possible, and will be enhanced to promote
wildlife habitat. Open space allows for multi-use functions including passive recreation opportunities, corridors for pedestrian and bicycle trails, water quality treatment, and flood water conveyance. In addition, open space is used to help define Village 7’s boundaries and neighborhood
edges, as well as provide setbacks from the City’s WWTRF and residential buffers from the Western Regional Sanitary Landfill.

As a part of the Project's on-going
participation with the Placer County
Conservation Program (PCCP) for
preservation of high-quality open
space lands, and to offset the
reduced acreage of PCCPdeemed lessor quality open space in the Aitken Ranch and Scheiber
portions of the project,
approximately 29.1 acres of
additional open space (including

9.2 acres of parkland dedication)
are provided in the Lincoln Village 5
Specific Plan Area, adjacent to the
Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan Area
boundary. Portions of this area have
been re-designated and re-zoned
via separate and concurrent
Specific Plan and General
Development Plan Amendments.

Additionally, as a component of the
Village 7 Specific Plan, a 162.0-acre
offsite preserve was established
immediately west of the plan area
and north of the City of Lincoln
Wastewater Treatment and
Reclamation Facility. The
establishment of the preserve was
required to mitigate wetland and
species impacts associated with the
development of Village 7. The
preserve area is not a part of an
existing or planned specific plan
area but contributes to the Village 7
total open space allocation of

50.7% which exceeds the required
40% of allocated open space.

Refer to Section 4.6.3 in this Chapter
and Chapter 6 Section 6.2 for
additional detail.

Village Parks and
Recreation
Various park sites are
designated in Village 7,
including a variety of
community and
neighborhood level parks,
classified in three categories
(community park,
neighborhood park, and mini
park). These parks are linked
to the Village 7’s pedestrian/
bicycle trail loop system to
provide high accessibility for
residents. Parks are generally
located within
neighborhoods creating a
local focal point and activity
amenity.

The placement and sizing of
parks will provide a range of
recreation opportunities,
passive and active, that will
serve all age groups from
small children to seniors, and
is reflective of community
need, General Plan policy,
proximity to users, ability to
promote joint use activities,
and existence of natural
resources.

Village Major Paseos
Major paseos are located throughout Village 7, which
striveand help to achieve key objectives for village-wide neighborhood connectivity and the provision of communitywide open space. First, they provide pedestrian and bikeway linkages from the residential neighborhoods to parks, linear parkways, and open space areas. Second, they are part of larger view corridors within residential neighborhoods, providing visual linkages from the neighborhood interiors to open space areas.

Major paseos include trail corridors along open space edges and within residential neighborhoods. The width of these features will vary depending on location and adjacent uses.

Paseos will include landscaping and other features
appropriate to achieve their design intent.

Elementary School
A sense of community is reinforced in Village 7 by the inclusion of an elementary school site in the Village Center of the plan area. The elementary school site is located inis in proximity to parks and open space and connectsed to adjoining areas by linear parkways and sidewalks to maximize synergies between land uses thereby providing an outstanding educational opportunity and activity hub for the community. Together these elements help form one of the community’s focal points.

The elementary school is part of the Western Placer Unified School District and will include school facilities, playgrounds, and parking lots.

While an elementary school site is specifically located on the Village 7 Specific Plan Land Use Plan, public schools are permitted in any residential and park designated parcel (see General Development Plan Tables 4-1 and 4-25.) If the school site is relocated to another parcel (or parcels), the land uses in the affected parcels would essentially ‘swap’ and would be considered a Minor Revision to the Specific Plan, (see Specific Plan Section 9.8.3.) Note that Lincoln General Plan park dedication requirements are still required to be met.

Alternatives to the a land use ‘swap’ may also be considered if appropriate and as determined by the Community Development Director (see also Specific Plan Section 9.8.4.) If the planned elementary school is relocated outside of the Village 7 Plan Area, the school site may be converted to VLDR with a Minor Amendment of the Specific Plan. Residential units allocated to the Plan Area may be transferred between Plan Area parcels in accordance with the Specific Plan such Attachment 8 Exhibit B

4.6.3 City of Lincoln Open Space Compliance
The following information is taken from a memo prepared by ECORP Consulting, Inc. dated October 3, 2025, with slight edits.

As a component of the Village 7 Specific Plan, the Lewis Project established an offsite preserve, providing an additional 162.0-acre offsite preserve (natural open space), immediately to the west of the Lewis Project and the Village 7 Specific Plan considering the Village 7 Specific Plan, and all open space designated as part of the component projects, Village 7 provides 50.7 percent of the land area as open space, which far exceeds the requirement of the City of Lincoln’s General Plan Policy (Refer to the table below.)
In addition, the Scheiber Project will mitigate land conversion and wetland impacts through the Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP). The PCCP mitigates land conversion and wetland impacts through the program by establishing large, interconnected reserve systems with fees collected from development within the Plan area, further adding open space dedication within Placer County. On average, the PCCP preserves 1.5 acres of natural open space for every acre of land conversion within the plan area. For the Scheiber Project (~180 acres), mitigation fees collected would go towards the conservation of approximately 270 acres of natural open space within Placer County.

Furthermore, this approach emphasizes the establishment of large preserve areas and mitigating through the PCCP to facilitate landscape level conservation rather than creating or manufacturing open space areas or corridors. In the conservation world, landscape level conservation supports habitat connectivity, increases in biodiversity, as well as maintenance of ecosystem processes and ecosystem services, which benefit both human and wildland communities (Gonçalves-Souza et al. 2025). In fact, regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, mandate landscape level conservation as part of project mitigation rather than preservation of smaller disconnected pieces of open space. This includes the PCCP, which includes landscape-level biological goals and objectives to protect ecological processes that occur at the county scale (Placer County 2020). A requirement of 40 percent open space on an individual project basis could result in uncoordinated preservation of open space areas, contributing to large scale habitat fragmentation, counter to community accepted best conservation management practices.

5.1 OVERVIEW
The Village 7 Specific Plan circulation system includes a hierarchy of roads, an extensive pedestrian and bikeway network, and public transit options. Emphasis is placed on ensuring connectivity between uses and in creating a safe and efficient circulation system that complies with City policies and allows for new and innovative transportation alternatives.

Walking and bicycling, rather than the automobile, are envisioned as the significant mode by which people will travel within Village 7. The mobility plan incorporates neighborhood-oriented tree-lined streets creating safe and walkable neighborhoods that minimize barriers. Land uses are sited to provide proximity between housing, open space, recreation, and the elementary school site. These community elements are designed as part of an extensive interconnected system of multi-use trails and sidewalks.

The intent is to create a pedestrian-friendly, walkable, and bikeable environment that encourages residents to get out of their cars and enjoy their community.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B

MOBILITY PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 5-3

5.2 ROADWAYS
Primary vehicular access to Village 7 will be from an extension of Ferrari Ranch Road through the center of the Plan area. This roadway will ultimately connect with State Route 65 to the east and Fiddyment Road to the west.

Two collector roadways provide north-south vehicular access through Village 7, each intersecting with Ferrari Ranch Road to link with the local neighborhood roadway system. The vehicular roadway and streetscape network is intended to provide a safe and efficient system for vehicles, as well as a pleasant pedestrian experience.

The local roadways are a critical component in establishing the character of the neighborhoods and help to define the public realm. Village 7’s local street system is intended to promote walkability and pedestrian activity through incorporation of
sidewalks, tree lined streets,
pedestrian scale lighting, pedestrian
crossings, and residential structures
with street-forward building
orientations (entries, porches,
windows, etc.). The local street
pattern strives to maximize
connectivity and, to the extent
feasible, eliminate barriers among
housing, parks, the elementary
school site, open space, and other
uses.

Village 7’s Roadway Plan provides a comprehensive network of collector and local roadways that emphasize multi-directional connectivity. This is illustrated in Figure 5-1 with lane capacity, right-of-way, and other requirements summarized in Table 5-1.

Linear parkways along roadways and major paseos will be incorporated and will vary in width to create a more natural setting. The parkways will be landscape lots that will be dedicated to the City. Landscaping standards, bridge, entry, and other design details are included within the General Development Plan. Phasing and funding obligations are detailed in the Development Agreement for each planning area.

5.2.1 Ferrari Ranch Road
The arterial roadway serving Village 7 and connecting it to Highway 65 is Ferrari Ranch Road. This road extends through the development in an east-west direction, originating from the Sorrento and Lincoln Crossing developments to the east, to Moore Road to the west, which ultimately intersects with Fiddyment Road. Ferrari Ranch Road is planned as a fourlane arterial roadway with a landscape median (see Figure 5-2). No parking is allowed along Ferrari Ranch Road. A traffic signal is planned at the intersection of Ferrari Ranch Road and the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard.

Figure 5-2: Ferrari Ranch Road (Section A)
A wide linear parkway/acoustic setback is planned on each side of Ferrari Ranch Road. The scenic linear parkway and roadway median include formal and linear groupings of large-scale trees to form a continuous canopy over the roadway. Ground plane plantings include shrubs, turf, and other groundcovers.

The landscape treatment along this linear parkway is intended to create an aesthetic arrival to the community, reduce roadway sound levels, and reduce the prominence of soundwalls. This approach will create an open and attractive frontage and grand entry into Village 7.

The linear parkways along Ferrari Ranch Road include multi-use paths, which link to Village 7’s overall pedestrian and bikeway trail network.

Specific landscaping and entry detail is included in the General Development Plan.

Moore Road is planned as a two-lane collector roadway with a landscape median, with no on-street parking permitted (see Figure 5-3).

Figure 5-3: Moore Road (Section B)
The linear parkway treatments along Moore Road will have an informal character and an open appearance. Like the landscape pattern along Ferrari Ranch Road, adequate distance and landscape treatments have been included to reduce the prominence of sound walls. Landscaping will include berms with informal groves of large-scale trees with turf, other groundcovers, and shrubs. Adjacent residential uses will be screened with privacy walls and/or fencing behind generous plantings.

5.2.3 Collector Streets
Connecting to arterial streets are the collector streets in Village 7, including Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard. Collector streets act as secondary circulation routes that distribute trips from Ferrari Ranch Road to the local neighborhood street system. The volume of trips on each collector streets changes as vehicles move into and out of the residential neighborhoods. As a result, the right-of-way for the collectors will range in width. Refer to Table 5-1 Roadway Summary Table for more detail.

Landscape medians will be installed along the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard. Multi-use paths, which will provide for pedestrian and bicycle use, will connect with the Village 7’s overall trail system. On-street parking will be prohibited.

The linear parkway treatments along the collector roadway will have an informal character and an open appearance. Like Ferrari Ranch Road, adequate distance and landscape treatments have been included to minimize the prominence of sound walls. Landscaping will include berms with informal groves of large-scale trees with turf, other groundcovers, and shrubs. Adjacent residential uses will be screened with privacy walls or fencing behind generous plantings.

The Liberty Parkway Central Boulevard will include a series of roundabouts to allow for a steady
flow of vehicular
traffic from side streets
at relatively low
speeds. This will
enhance walkability
and compatibility with
bicyclists. The
roundabouts will also
allow full access to
each of the internal
intersections and
eliminate the need for
turn pockets.

Specific landscaping
and roundabout
detail are included in the General Development Plan.

5.2.4 Local Roadways
Local roadways provide direct access to homes and will connect to the collector roadways. In general, local roadways are designed to incorporate “traffic calming” principles such as narrower street pavement widths, reduced turning radii, and on-street parking. Local roadways may include: (1) residential streets, (2) one-way streets at parks, and (3) garage lanes.

Residential Streets are envisioned to be formal in character and will reinforce the informal grid system of the residential layout. Residential streets include two travel lanes within a typical right-of-way.

Residential streets may incorporate sidewalks separated from the roadway by landscape greenways, however, may also have
attached sidewalks. Street trees will be planted in a regularly spaced pattern to produce a strong street edge and shade for pedestrians and parked cars. In addition, an alternative residential street section is provided for locations where a residential street abuts an open space area.

One-Way Streets at Parks may be used at certain locations to direct traffic around linear park and mini park amenities within Village 7.

These streets will be split by the parks, which will act as enlarged medians. The oneway streets are
narrow in width and
have on-street
parking to provide
traffic calming
around the parks.

The outside edge of
the roadways may
include a sidewalk
separated from the
street by a
landscape
greenway.

Garage Lanes may be utilized to provide rear loading and service areas for residential lots, andlots and thus reduce the presence of garages and driveways along the local streets. Garage lanes will have two travel lanes with landscaped edges and garage aprons.

MOBILITY PLAN

5-18 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
Local streets are designed to be
pedestrian friendly and interconnected,
with the use of cul-de-sacs and dead
ends to be minimized. Where a cul-desac is provided, its design will consider emergency, fire, and residential access
needs, as well as aesthetics. Generally,
cul-de-sacs will be designed to provide
view corridors, as well as access to open
space, recreation facilities, and the trail
system.

The pattern of local streets is intended to provide a high degree of multidirectional connectivity throughout Village 7, providing numerous mobility options between and through neighborhoods. Gated subdivisions may be approved within Village 7, if mechanisms are established to ensure maintenance of private streets, and that gating does not inhibit public access to parks, fire access, the elementary school site, trails, or open space areas.

5.2.5 Vehicular & Pedestrian Bridges
Several bridges are planned throughout Village 7, some serving vehicular traffic and some serving pedestrians and emergency access vehicles.

These bridges are needed to cross Ingram Slough in various locations to provide vehicular and pedestrian access in the southern-most areas of Village 7.

5.2.6 Neighborhood Electric
Vehicles
Village 7’s roadway system has
been designed to allow the safe
and convenient use of
neighborhood electric vehicles
(NEVs). These vehicles are
efficient, particularly for local
trips, and reduce the
consumption of fossil fuels, have
zero emissions at the point of use,
and are less noisy than gas vehicles. Electric vehicles can be used on all roadways with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less.

SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 5-19

NON-MOTORIZED CIRCULATION
A key goal of the Village 7 Specific Plan is to create a pedestrian-friendly, walkable, and bikeable environment. To this end, sidewalk, bike, and trail loop systems with off-road and on-road routes are included throughout Village 7 to link the residential neighborhoods together and connect to common activity nodes. This system takes advantage of the extensive open space and recreational amenities found on the site, which are incorporated into the land use plan, and provides the opportunity to connect to the City-wide trail system that links to downtown Lincoln.

In general, the community has been scaled for the pedestrian and cyclist, thus providing forproviding alternatives to the automobile. Each of the residential neighborhoods are organized so that residents are typically no farther than an easy one-quarter mile walk from the focal gathering point for each neighborhood – the mini park and/or open space element (see Figure 3-2). In addition, the Village Center is strategically located centrally within Village 7 along the open space trail system. These elements support the objective of establishing a healthy, comfortable, and walkable community that minimizes barriers and emphasizes the pedestrian over the automobile.

Village 7 includes approximately eighteen (18) miles of integrated path and trail systems to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle travel as illustrated on Figure 5-15. The network consists of approximately 7.8 miles of Multi-use Paths and Sidewalks, of which 1.2 miles are accessible to NEVs (along Ferrari Ranch Road), nearly 6 miles of Class 1 Off-street Bike Paths, and over 4 miles of Main Pedestrian Routes.

Multi-Use Paths and Sidewalks will be provided along all arterial, collector, and residential roadways. These include the
interconnected and continuous walkable “grid” of typically detached and attached sidewalks with greenways along
neighborhood streets. The local sidewalks are intended to emphasize the pedestrian and encourage a sense of neighborhood. In addition, multi-use paths are included within linear parkways along the collectors and along Ferrari Ranch Road. The multi-use paths provide a comfortable route for pedestrians and bicyclists to access the larger regional path and trail systems.

Open Space Trails (class 1 trails) loop throughout the open space areas, including the north, south, and main branches of Ingram Slough, Auburn Ravine, the North Orchard Creek Tributary, the community park, and along the southern and western open space edges of Village 7. These bike paths enhance park and open space accessibility, provide a continuous system for pedestrians and cyclists with minimal roadway interruptions, and are designed to integrate with the Lincoln 2001 Bikeway Master Plan. Class I trails will typically consist of 10 feet of pavement with a 2-foot-wide decomposed granite/ gravel shoulder on each side and may also accommodate emergency and maintenance vehicles.

Main Pedestrian Routes connect through and provide linkages between residential neighborhoods and their mini parks, as well as to the Class 1 trails and multi-use paths (sidewalks). This hybrid system consists of a combination of sidewalks and multi-use paths within park areas. The main pedestrian routes will be highlighted and differentiated by unique tree and landscaping treatments, and signage. Where incorporated within each planning area, the General Development Plan provides additional detail.

Pedestrian Bridges are planned in the southern portion of Village 7, which will span the wetlands areas of Ingram Slough. These bridges are intended to facilitate pedestrian mobility between residential neighborhoods in Village 7, as well as between existing neighborhoods in the Lincoln Crossing development to the east. In addition, they provide emergency vehicle access connections between these same areas. The neighborhood bridges are intended to create a rural, natural, and informal feeling designed to a comfortable pedestrian scale.

5.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The City of Lincoln provides fixed-route and demand-responsive public transit service to residents. The fixed route service consists of scheduled bus routes that converge in downtown Lincoln. The demand-responsive service consists of a curb-to-curb Dial-A-Ride service which picks up and drops off passengers anywhere within the City limits.

Placer County Transit (PCT) provides weekday AM and PM commuter service along Interstate 80 from Colfax to downtown Sacramento. PCT service also includes a route along State Route 65 from downtown Lincoln to stops where connections to Roseville Transit and Sacramento Regional Transit are available.

At the time of Specific Plan approval, newly developing residential areas generally west of Industrial Boulevard between Moore Road and Athens Avenue in the City, including Village 7, were not served by scheduled fixed-route bus service. Such service will be expanded to the area based upon demand and funding. Bus turnouts and transit shelters on roadways that are to be served by bus transit in the future will be identified and constructed in accordance with City improvement standards and as otherwise required by the City. Such facilities are anticipated along Ferrari Ranch Road and the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard.

Dial-A-Ride transit services will be available to Village 7’s residents as demand for this service occurs.

6.1 OVERVIEW
Schools, parks and recreation, libraries, public safety, and other services are an important component of quality of life. The Village 7 Specific Plan supports the provision and maintenance of the public services necessary to meet the needs of the Village’s
residents as development occurs. These
services are structured to satisfy City
standards and are intended to integrate
with other existing and planned City
services and facilities. Table 6-1
summarizes the public service providers for
Village 7.

Table 6-1: Village 7 Specific Plan Service Providers
Phasing and financing obligations relating to public services are outlined in the Development Agreement for each planning area of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

6.2 PARKS AND RECREATION

6.2.1 Overview
Parks and open space comprise a significant portion of the Village 7 Specific Plan. Forty percent (40%) of Village 7 will be devoted to varied park and open space amenities including a community park, neighborhood parks, mini parks, open space areas (natural open space, linear parkways, and paseos), and other elements. The open space areas and the parks within each neighborhood are interconnected by a network of pedestrian and bicycle routes. Together, the park and open space amenities provide a full range of active and passive recreational opportunities that meet or exceed the City’s General Plan requirements.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1610

PUBLIC SERVICES PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February DECEMBER 2025FEBRUARYAPRIL 202646-3 Parks are generally provided within each neighborhood in a central location, creating a local focal point and activity amenity. The placement and sizing of parks is reflective of community need, General Plan policy, proximity to users, ability to promote joint-use activities, and existence of natural resources such as floodplain, riparian habitat, and wetlands.

The general location of Village
7’s parks and open space is
shown on Figure 6-1. Details
relating to dedication,
operation, funding, phasing, and
construction are included in
each planning area’s
Development Agreement.

Each acre set aside for park use
is credited towards meeting the
General Plan park requirement.

Partial credit is granted to open
space areas and linear
parkways, as these areas provide
pedestrian and bicycle trail
systems, informal recreation
facilities, and open space
amenities. The General Plan
provides for a credit ratio ranging
from 10:1 to 5:1, meaning that 1
acre of park credit may be
granted for every 5 to 10 acres of
open space provided. The
Village 7 Specific Plan’s parks and open space program provides for a range of active and passive recreational opportunities that greatly exceeds the City’s General Plan requirements. Total park and open space acres and associated credits are summarized in Table 6-3.

In addition to these park requirements,
the General Plan also includes a policy
that the City strive to provide one mile
of pedestrian/bicycle trails per 2,500
population. As noted in Section 5.3,
the Village 7 Specific Plan includes
plans for approximately eighteen (18)
miles of pedestrian/bicycle paths and
trails, which far exceeds the General
Plan goal.

6.2.2 Parkland Requirements and Credits
The City’s General Plan Public Facilities Element (Policy OSC-7.1) requires six acres of active parkland and three acres of passive open space per 1,000 residents. These requirements are summarized in the table below:

Table 6-2: Parkland Requirements
As a part of the Project's on-going participation with the Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) for preservation of high-quality open space lands, and to offset the reduced acreage of PCCP-deemed lessor quality open space in the Aitken Ranch and Scheiber portions of the project, approximately 29.1 acres of additional open space (including 9.2 acres of parkland dedication) are provided in the Lincoln Village 5 Specific Plan Area, adjacent to the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan Area boundary. Portions of this area have been redesignated and re-zoned via separate and concurrent Specific Plan and General Development Plan Amendments.

Additionally, as a component of the Village 7 Specific Plan, a 162.0-acre offsite preserve was established immediately west of the plan area and north of the City of Lincoln Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility. The establishment of the preserve was required to mitigate wetland and species impacts associated with the development of Village 7. The preserve area is not a part of an existing or planned specific plan area but contributes to the Village 7 total open space allocation of 50.7% which exceeds the required 40% of allocated open space.

Refer to Chapter 4 Section 4.6 of this Specific Plan for additional detail.

6.2.3 Park and Recreation Descriptions
The following provides a brief overview of the various
components that constitute Village 7’s park and
open space program. Village 7 park designs will
incorporate an agrarian zone which includes
undulating berms in heights planted with stands of
flowering ornamental trees planted in rhythmic
patterns reminiscent of the orchards of the region.

This is intended to reflect the rich agricultural heritage of the area. The edges of the agrarian zone will be
planted with pyramidal tree species planted in
irregular patterns, or less formal groupings.

The final design of all park facilities is subject to
approval of the City of Lincoln. Park plans shown on
the following pages are for illustrative purposes only; final designs to be determined at the time of future
park improvement plans. Park programming is
included in the General Development Plan.

Community Park
A community park site has been
designated at the western edge of
the plan area, adjacent to Ingram
Slough.

This community park will be used both
actively and passively. Facilities that may be provided include active playfields for organized sports such as baseball and soccer, sports courts, pedestrian and bicycle trails, informal turf areas, seating and picnic facilities, and other amenities. The community park will be connected to the residential neighborhoods through the pedestrian and bicycle trail system.

Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood parks are provided in Village 7 as shown on Figure 6.1. One of Village 7’s neighborhood parks is in the Village Center south of Ferrari Ranch Road. This
neighborhood park is intended to provide a central open space with a sense of shared identity for the entire
community, which complements the mix of uses in the Village Center. A range of both active and passive recreation will be accommodated, including play areas for small children, areas for organized sports, picnic areas, and flexible opportunities for small to large groups of people to gather and recreate.

A portion of the
school site is a jointuse public park site
and receives Quimby
credit.

Refer to Figure 6-1
and Table 6-3 for
detail.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1619

PUBLIC SERVICES PLAN
6-12 February DECEMBER 2025FEBRUARYAPRIL 20264City of Lincoln Another neighborhood park is located north of Ferrari Ranch Road. This park site is anticipated to contain a variety of active and passive recreation facilities including active playfields for organized sports, sports courts, informal turf areas, picnic grounds, a small parking lot, and other facilities.

Refer also to 6-3 Schools for additional information.

Mini Parks
Several mini park facilities will be located throughout Village 7’s neighborhoods to provide localized recreation, open space, and trail amenities within each residential neighborhood.

These park spaces are in the heart of the residential neighborhoods, typically sited near the entrance of the neighborhood. They serve as one of the major community spaces for each of the neighborhoods, provide visual breaks, and create an identity and sense of place. Mini parks are sized to accommodate a variety of passive and informal active uses and may accommodate seating areas as well as play equipment for small children.

Open Space Preserves
Open space areas have been designated in Village 7. This includes a broad system of public and private open space encompassing significant environmental resources such as drainages, wetlands, grasslands, and riparian woodlands. This open space provides a substantial amenity that will be preserved or enhanced to continue the natural storm water pattern, provide for bio-filtration, improve wildlife movement and habitat, provide passive recreation opportunities, and allow for a visual separation between homes. Pedestrian and bicycle trails have been included throughout the open space areas to provide interconnectivity and to allow residents to walk, jog, or bike through Village 7. Other facilities may be incorporated, including rest stops, benches, overlooks, and habitat interpretation areas. In many cases, the open space adjoins and compliments other more active recreational facilities.

Linear Parkways
Linear parkways are included in Village 7. These features consist of widened open space corridors along Ferrari Ranch Road, Moore Road, and the northsouth collector streeLiberty Parkway, and Shallus Boulevardts. These corridors range in width and contain landscaping and multi-use paths that will link to Village 7’s overall pedestrian and bikeway trail network and provide passive recreation opportunities.

Major Paseos
Major paseos are included throughout Village 7. These paseos provide pedestrian and bikeway linkages from the residential neighborhoods to parks, Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1620

PUBLIC SERVICES PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February DECEMBER 2025FEBRUARYAPRIL 202646-13 linear parkways, and open space areas. Major paseos include trail corridors along open space edges and within residential neighborhoods. The width of these features varies depending on their location and adjacent uses but are a target minimum of 3035’-wide. Paseos may will include landscaping and other natural features.

6.3 SCHOOLS
An elementary school site is provided within Village 7 in the Village Center, north south of Ferrari Ranch Road. The location of the school site provides a central, easily accessible site that may be reached by pedestrian, bicycle, bus, or auto. Extensive off-road trail connections to the school will encourage a convenient, walkable community environment that helps promote a healthy lifestyle. (See also Village 7 Specific Plan Section 4.6 and General Development Plan Sections 4.2 and 4.4 for more detail.) The school site in Village 7 is envisioned to include the appropriate educational facilities, playgrounds, parking lots, and pedestrian loading areas for drop-off by parents and buses.

A portion of the school site is intended to be a joint use park site and, as such, requires Quimby credit
The key goal of the neighborhood school is to help create a socially responsible, active, and involved community. At the heart of this goal, a community school represents an important foundation for realizing the "social capital" desired by families of all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. The elementary school, along with the adjacent park and community center, forms a hub of learning and activity that reinforces community identity.

Village 7 is within the boundaries of the Western Placer Unified School District (grades K-12). Based on the mix of single and multi-family dwelling units, Village 7 will generate an estimated student population, as shown in Table 6-4.

SPECIFIC PLAN February DECEMBER 2025FEBRUARYAPRIL 202646-15 Development within Village 7 will be required to pay school impact fees in accordance with State law. Facility planning and the sequencing of development of the school sites will be determined by the District. Middle school and high school students in Village 7 will be accommodated in existing and/or planned schools outside of the Plan Area within the District.

A middle school will be in the adjacent Lincoln Crossing development, and the District is currently evaluating its future high school needs, which includes students from Village 7.

The City of Lincoln operates a public library system that includes the existing library in downtown Lincoln. A new library, a joint venture between the City of Lincoln, the Western Placer Unified School District, and Sierra Community College, is in the Twelve Bridges development in the southern portion of the City. The City’s downtown library, a Carnegie library that first opened in 1909, is approximately 2,000 square feet and is a historic register-listed building.

At the time of the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan
adoption, the City’s 2006 Public Facilities Fee
Program requires .70 square feet of library building
space per 1,000 residents. To help meet the
increased demands for library services associated
with build-out of the Village 7 Specific Plan, the
City’s Public Facilities Fee will be assessed, a portion of which contributes to the provision of additional
library services.

6.5 POLICE PROTECTION
The Lincoln Police Department will serve Village 7. The Police Department provides all operations and patrols out of its central station located at 7th and H Streets in downtown Lincoln, approximately 2.5 miles from the Specific Plan area. The western extension of Ferrari Ranch Road will provide a direct route to Village 7.

CFD 2018-02 requires 0.85 police officers per 1,000 residents, and 475 square feet of building space per police department staff. The Village 7 Specific Plan will comply with City of Lincoln Police Department recommendations regarding safety and security, and will pay the City’s Public Facilities Fee, a portion of which applies to the development of police facilities.

FIRE PROTECTION
The Lincoln Fire Department will provide fire protection, suppression, emergency medical services and hazardous materials management to Village 7. At the time of specific plan adoption, the City Fire Department operates three stations, with the closest station approximately 3.2 miles from the Specific Plan area. As discussed above, the extension of Ferrari Ranch Road from Lincoln Crossing and into Village 7 will provide a direct route for emergency vehicles. The Lincoln Fire Department relies on the City of Roseville Fire Department to respond to hazardous material calls and maintains mutual aid agreements with the City of Rocklin Fire Department and other Placer County agencies.

The neighborhood park site north of Ferrari Ranch Road in the Lewis Property planning area is located centrally in Village 7, which the City could potentially use to accommodate a new fire station.

CFD 2018-02 requires 0.66 firefighters per 1,000 residents and approximately 917 square feet of fire station building space per firefighter.

Village 7 has also been designed in consultation with the City’s Fire Department to ensure adequate access is provided in the event of a fire or an evacuation.

The Village 7 Specific Plan will comply with City of Lincoln Fire Department recommendations for fire protection,
and will pay the City’s Public Facilities Fee, a portion of which applies to construction of a new fire station. In addition, a Wildfire Management Plan will be prepared for each Planning Area of Village 7, which will be implemented by the Fire Department in accordance with the Plan Area’s Operations and Management Plan for open space areas.

Master Plan for the City of Lincoln approved in 2017, the City has adequate water supply available through PCWA and municipal wells to serve Village 7.

7.2.2 Existing Water Supply and Facilities
The City of Lincoln provides municipal water service to commercial and residential customers within its jurisdiction. The City of Lincoln receives water from three sources: Placer County Water Agency (PCWA), Nevada Irrigation District (NID), and municipal wells.

Village 7 currently has several water infrastructure systems in place (see Figures 7-1 and 7-2) including three City municipal wells located within or near Village 7. An 18-inch transmission line located in Ferrari Ranch Road is available to serve Village 7 as well as deliver water to other parts of the City.

In addition, there is a planned 18-inch transmission line (built by adjoining development) to be located near the southeast corner of Village 7 that will originate from the Lincoln Crossing development. This line will ultimately provide a loop system to better serve Village 7 as well as the southwestern portion of the City.

The City has an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) that was adopted in 2021. The UWMP evaluates the anticipated growth of the City and the associated water demands and future water supplies through 2045. In addition, the Village 7 WSA approved in 2017 identifies a long-term water supply strategy to serve buildout of the Plan Area.

7.2.3 Specific Plan Water Demand and Supply
The City of Lincoln’s Design Criteria and Procedures Manual governs the design of domestic water systems operated by the City. The Manual includes residential demand factors to be used in the design of new systems. Special consideration is to be given to schools and commercial development. Based on the demand factors for the Village 7 Specific Plan (Village 7 EIR, 2009), the total average water demand for Village 7 is projected to be approximately 2,055 acre-feet per year at buildout. Consistent with its current water delivery contracts, the City of Lincoln will have adequate water supply through PCWA and municipal wells to serve Village 7.

7.2.4 Specific Plan Water Improvements
The development will be required to connect to the existing transmission mains and complete a transmission loop through the site. The existing transmission mains through and adjacent to Village 7 have adequate capacity to serve Village 7. Consequently, the water distribution infrastructure Attachment 8 Exhibit B

7.3 A Backbone Water Infrastructure Plan has been prepared for Village 7 to provide information on the infrastructure needed to serve domestic water to the project area. The Plan is based on a City-wide model to ensure that adequate pressures and delivery are provided to Village 7 without adversely impacting the existing system. The backbone water infrastructure plan is illustrated in Figure 7-1. Well locations are illustrated on Figure 7-2, which includes a groundwater well on the neighboring park site (north of Ferrari Ranch Road). A monitoring well located in an open space area at the southern terminus of the Central BoulevardLiberty Parkway will be abandoned.

In addition to the transmission main connection and extension through the site, internally looped domestic water mains are planned to provide water to service connections within the development.

RECLAIMED WATER

7.3.1 Reclaimed Water Overview
The City of Lincoln Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRF)Lincoln-Sewer Maintenance District 1 Wastewater Authority (LiSWA, Regional WWTRF) is located just west of Village 7. The proximity of this facility presents an opportunity to utilize reclaimed water. Consistent with the City’s Integrated Water Management Plan, the City will provide reclaimed water forLiSWA generates reclaimed water which may be available for use in Village 7’s various irrigation needs including, but not limited to, landscape medians, linear parkways, and parks. Reclaimed water would be transported via the City’s transmission lines. This use of reclaimed water is intended to help the City meet its treated effluent discharge requirements and to reduce the development’s potable water demand.

7.3.2 Existing Reclaimed Water Facilities and Supply
Reclaimed water refers to wastewater treatment plant effluent that has received a level of treatment that meets the State requirements for direct nonpotable re-use, such as for irrigation of landscaping. The use of reclaimed water is regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which applies stringent water quality, treatment, and disinfection standards.

The WWTRF will produce recycled water available for use in the City.

Ultimately, up to 25,000 acre-feet of reclaimed water could be made available by the plant annually, a portion of which will be made available to Village 7’s irrigation needs.

7.3.3 Specific Plan Reclaimed Water Demand
At the time of Specific Plan approval, the City of Lincoln’s Design Criteria and Procedures Manual did not have reclaimed water demand use rates for various land use categories. Reclaimed water demands for Village 7 have been estimated using other studies from similar projects in the region as a guide. Based on these demands and the projected supply to be generated by the WWTRF, the City has determined that there is sufficient reclaimed water capacity to serve the irrigation needs throughout Village 7.

Reclaimed water was not used in the water demand/supply calculations conducted for the development, but reclaimed water has the potential of meeting a portion of the Village 7’s irrigation needs. Based on the Water Supply Assessment prepared for the project (Village 7 EIR, Appendix H), Village 7 is projected to use approximately 486 acre-feet per year of recycled water at buildout.

7.3.4 Specific Plan Reclaimed Water Improvements
Village 7’s reclaimed water distribution system is illustrated on Figure 7-3, with areas where reclaimed water may be used noted in color. The development will be required to connect to the existing transmission mains and complete service laterals to parks, open space, landscapes, paseos, etc. A backbone of dedicated reclaimed water lines will be installed within applicable major internal roadways. In addition, as part of the backbone water system, backflow devices and cross-connection controls will be installed and tested by the City annually to prevent crossconnections and/or contamination of the domestic potable supply.

Reclaimed water demands associated with the buildout of Village 7 will not require significant improvements to the existing City system.

7.4 WASTEWATER

7.4.1 Wastewater Overview
The City of Lincoln will provide sanitary sewer service to Village 7. The City’s treatment system will use the Regional Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRFLiSWA facility) to the west of the development. Village 7’s infrastructure system will consist of a series of gravity pipelines connecting to an on-site existing interceptor. The City has adequate wastewater treatment and interceptor capacity to accommodate the development.

7.4.2 Existing Wastewater Facilities
The City of Lincoln WWTRF became operational in July 2004. This state-ofthe-art facility will provide wastewater treatment for Village 7 and can expand for future development. The WWTRF includes planning for up to 12 mgd of wastewater and will ultimately serve as a regional plant with capacity up to 30 mgd. A 66-inch-diameter sewer interceptor line which conveys both regional and local wastewater flows to the plant is located within the future alignment of Ferrari Ranch Road, which bisects Village 7, then turns south to follow the western property boundary to the WWTRF.

7.4.3 Specific Plan Wastewater Collection and Treatment Demand At the time of adoption of the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan, design flows used to size the onsite sewer system were based on the City of Lincoln Amended Public Facilities Element (October 1998). In September 200042, the City approved new design standards for influent gravity sewer design.

These new standards (City of Lincoln WWTRF Influent Sewer Design StandardsDesign Criteria and Procedures Manual) supplement the City’s existing improvement standards. Based on the City’s design standards, the total peak flow generation for Village 7 is estimated to be approximately

2.2 mgd. The City of Lincoln’s master plan for the WWTRF has reserved capacity to serve buildout of Village 7.

7.4.4 Specific Plan Wastewater Improvements
Village 7 will be served by gravity lateral collector facilities connected to the regional interceptor. The planned backbone sewer system has been located within existing and proposed road rights-of-way. There are three primary wastewater shed areas within Village 7. Each shed will utilize backbone infrastructure lines in the residential and collector street systems to collect wastewater and transfer it to the 66-inch interceptor in Ferrari Attachment 8 Exhibit B

7.5 DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL

7.5.1 Drainage Overview
Village 7’s drainage improvements include a combination of conventional subsurface and surface drainage systems including enhancement of existing channels, construction of pipe conveyance systems and outfalls, and inclusion of culverts and bridges over creek and tributary crossings. Retention and detention facilities are included to reduce post-project impacts to the existing downstream drainage system.

In addition, the development incorporates extensive water quality treatment methods for stormwater and other urban n
runoff (see Section 8.4, Water Quality).

7.5.2 Existing Site Hydrology
Village 7 includes approximately six drainage sheds located within the Auburn Ravine, Ingram Slough, and Orchard Creek watersheds. The Ingram Slough and Orchard Creek watersheds are tributaries to the Auburn Ravine watershed. Note that minor changes to the existing drainage sheds occurs due to constructed and/or planned development patterns, for example, at the southwest corner of Moore Road and Shallus Boulevard.

The drainage sheds in Village 7 are illustrated on Figure 7-5. Sheds “A” and “B” drain to the North Orchard Creek Tributary. Shed “C” is bisected by, and drains directly into, Ingram Slough. Shed “D” drains southwest toward Orchard Creek. Shed “E” drains south towards Shed “C”, which discharges into Ingram Slough. Finally, Shed “F” (Scheiber Property) drains to Auburn Ravine.

Portions of Village 7’s open space system are within the 100-year floodplain (see Figure 7-5). The existing 100-year floodplain elevations for the north branch of Ingram Slough vary from 128 feet on the north to 124 feet msl at the confluence. The 100-year water surface elevations for the south branch of Ingram Slough vary from 124 feet on the east to 120 feet msl at the confluence. The 100-year water surface of Ingram Slough at the western boundary of Village 7 is 112 feet msl.

7.5.3 Specific Plan Drainage and Flood Control Improvements Village 7’s drainage improvements are illustrated on Figure 7-6, which are subject to refinement when a project-level Storm Water Master Plan is prepared. Stormwater will be collected and piped from development areas and discharged through outfalls into the open space drainage corridors. The drainage system is a gravity system and will be designed and constructed in accordance with City of Lincoln Improvement Standards. The number and location of outfalls shown on Figure 7-6 are based upon best available information subject to refinement through the subdivision map and improvement plan approval process. Drainage improvements will be coordinated with the preserve area Operations and Management Plans, a requirement of the Clean Water Act 404 permit (see Section 8, Resource Management Plan, for additional discussion on wetland resources and permitting).

The Village 7 Specific Plan incorporates plans for on-site detention basins to reduce pre-project versus post-project peak flows to the existing downstream drainage system. In addition, improvements are proposed to portions of the open space area adjacent to Ingram Slough which will provide stormwater drainage capacity and protect surface water quality.

The Specific Plan incorporates storm water quality treatment through the implementation of grassy swales at pipe outfalls to remove pollutants by filtration. Oil/water grit separators will be provided as required on nonresidential projects and in areas of discharge where other water quality facilities are deemed infeasible (see Section 8, Resource Management Plan, for additional discussion on water quality).

Ingram Slough Enhancements
The channel of Ingram Slough was previously enhanced through deepening and widening performed by the developers of the Lincoln Crossing project. Their work included increasing the capacity of Ingram Slough so it would be able to satisfy the future drainage requirements for the Village 7 Specific Plan area when the Village 7 Specific Plan area was developed. The enhancement work that the Lincoln Crossing developers performed on Ingram Slough consisted of deepening and widening the existing north and south sloughs where they pass through the area. Developers of the Village 7 Specific Plan will only be constructing water quality drainage swales outside of the existing channel of Ingram Slough to treat the project’s stormwater run-off. The Village 7 project will also be constructing two stormwater detention basins in upland areas. The drainage improvements for the Proposed Project are shown in Figure 7-6.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1644

UTILITIES PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 7-21
Retention
The Village 7 Specific Plan’s need for stormwater retention will be accommodated by the City’s stormwater retention system, which is an off-site facility known as Lakeview Farms. Participation in this facility is administered by the City through a fee-based program for new development areas. The City has determined that capacity in the Lakeview Farms retention facility is sufficient to serve the retention needs of Village 7. Onside stormwater retention is an option should the Lakeview Farms facility not be available.

Detention
Based on the South Lincoln Master Drainage Plan (Montgomery Watson and Civil Solutions, August 15, 2000), detention basins for the Ingram Slough and Orchard Creek watersheds located upstream of Village 7 satisfy regional detention requirements to mitigate overall development peak flows. As a result, on-site detention mitigation is not required for Sheds “C”, “D”, or “E.”
For sheds “A”, “B” and “F” (the Scheiber Property), water detention facilities are needed to mitigate peak stormwater flows generated by buildout of the development. Based on Hydrologic (HEC-1) modeling completed for Village 7, detention basins are needed in the open space areas of Auburn Ravine and the North Orchard Creek Tributary to stabilize peak flow drainage to pre-existing conditions and help reduce local impacts to properties immediately downstream.

7.6 DRY UTILITIES

7.6.1 Electricity
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) provides underground electric service within all new subdivisions in the City of Lincoln and will provide service to the development. PG&E’s long-range plans provide for availability of electric service to accommodate increased demand.

Service will be provided to the development from existing infrastructure adjacent to Village 7.

7.6.2 Natural Gas
PG&E will provide natural gas upon request and in accordance with the rules and tariffs of the California Public Utilities Commission. PG&E’s longrange plans provide for availability of gas service to accommodate increased demand. Service will be provided to the development from existing infrastructure adjacent to Village 7.

7.6.3 Communications
The Village 7 Specific Plan is within the service areas of AT&T and Wave Broadband. Together, these providers offer both voice and data communication services to Village 7. Distribution lines to individual parcels will be extended from existing infrastructure adjacent to the project area and will occur as development takes place. The appropriate providers will review delivery of telephone and cable television services to individual projects in Village 7 at the time subdivision improvement plans are prepared.

7.6.4 Telecommunications Facility
A portion of the planned Community Park includes a telecommunications facility, which supports wireless voice and data services in the immediate vicinity. Through the final design plans for the Community Park, the telecommunications facility will be integrated into the park and visually buffered, as appropriate.

7.7 SOLID WASTE
The City of Lincoln Department of Public Works provides solid and green waste collection services within the City. All waste is collected at curbside, typically in 960-gallon toters supplied by the City. Multi-family and commercial collection is typically provided with the use of larger receptacle bins. Waste is transported to the Western Placer Waste Management Authority’s (WPWMA) Western Regional Sanitary Landfill (WRSL) located adjacent to the intersection of Athens and Fiddyment Roads, west of SR 65. A Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the WRSL separates and recovers waste products for recycling, reuse, or conversion to energy resources. Through the years 2001 to 2006, the City reclaimed between 55 and 74% of its waste, which exceeds state-mandated requirements.

In May 2003, the WPWMA approved a Capacity Enhancement Project, which allowed staff to pursue revisions to existing permits to increase the landfill and MRF capacity. The permit revision was approved in August 2003 by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. The current permitted maximum allowable daily tonnage is 1,900 tons/day, and the permitted MRF tonnage is 1,750 tons/day. Projected solid waste generation from Village 7 can be accommodated within the approved and permitted expansion capacity. Fees will be collected from residential, commercial, and industrial accounts to cover collection costs and disposal methods.

8.1 OVERVIEW
The majority of Village 7’s land area is generally flat and has historically been used for agriculture and ranching. The natural undeveloped character of the site consists primarily of non-native annual grasslands.

Interspersed within the grassland areas are various ephemeral and perennial aquatic features including vernal pools, seasonal wetlands, drainage swales, intermittent drainages, freshwater marsh, a stock pond, Ingram Slough, and a branch of Auburn Ravine.

Native trees are somewhat limited and are present
along portions of Ingram Slough and Auburn Ravine.

A goal for the planning of Village 7 is to create a
community that respects the existing natural
environment and enhances many of the existing
ecological functions. Environmentally sensitive areas
will remain in their natural condition, whenever
possible, and enhanced to promote wildlife habitat
and provide corridors for pedestrian circulation. It is a guiding principle of the Village 7 Specific Plan that the natural environment and constructed
environments be planned and integrated as a
sustainable place for communities of people, plants,
and wildlife.

Village 7 promotes an overall ecosystem-level conservation strategy that will be both ecologically viable and compatible with Placer County’s regional conservation goals. These goals will be met through the preservation and enhancement of natural habitat on site, combined with off-site mitigation and compensation. Village 7 establishes interconnected open space areas that are driven by the protection of significant natural resources and allow for potential connectivity with larger-scale, regional conservation efforts. These open space corridors and associated resources serve as a defining element of Village 7.

Figure 8-1 identifies Village 7’s open space and resource areas. The Village 7 land use plan and resource management approach have been appreciably influenced by early consultation with appropriate federal, state, and local resource agencies.

Specific resource conservation strategies for Village 7’s four planning areas are provided in the GDP. Additional resource discussions are included in the Village 7 Specific Plan EIR and supporting documents.

8.2 WETLAND RESOURCES
Wetlands, and their associated hydrology, are an important environmental component that shapes the character and function of Village 7. It is a principle of the Village 7 Specific Plan to preserve and enhance the biological value of wetland resources where feasible.

8.2.1 Wetland Features
Several wetland features have
been identified in Village 7’s
pre-development state. Many
of these occur as isolated basins
within the site, while others are
associated with interconnected
drainages that occur
throughout the site. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that permits be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers for activities associated with the discharge of dredged or fill materials into wetlands.

The primary types of wetlands typical to Village 7 are described below.

Seasonal Wetlands/Drainage Swales
Seasonal wetlands and drainage swales occur within the annual grassland as shallow depressions underlain by slowly permeable soils.

These seasonal wetland depressions/swales are typically saturated only during wet periods.

Drier seasonal wetlands/swales may be
dominated by low-growing grasses and
annual herbs such as ryegrass,
Mediterranean barley, and hyssop
loosestrife. Wet features may be
dominated by Baltic rush, annual rabbitfoot grass, Bermuda grass, and creeping spikerush. When inundated, these seasonal
wetlands and drainage swales provide
habitat for aquatic invertebrates and
amphibians. For most of the remainder of
the year, wildlife use is like that of typical
Central Valley non-native annual grassland
habitat.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1650

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 8-5
Vernal Pools
Vernal pools are poorly drained, isolated depressions that occur within annual grasslands. Water ponds in the depressions for several weeks at a time during the rainy season may dry completely if the duration between storm events is long. Vernal pools are fed by direct rainfall or surface runoff.

Vernal pools in Village 7
range from well-defined
basins with distinct
boundaries to those with
indistinct boundaries that
have been altered over
time through previous
agricultural use.

Auburn Ravine
Auburn Ravine borders the northern portion of Village 7 in an east/west fashion. The ravine’s most significant feature is its perennial stream, which originates approximately 10 miles to the east near the City of Auburn, and ultimately flows through the City of Lincoln to the East Side Canal.

Through Village 7, Auburn Ravine is generally characterized by its riparian habitat that includes several varieties of oak and cottonwood tree species along the stream.

Ingram Slough
Both the north and south branches of Ingram Slough border Village 7, with the confluence occurring along the eastern boundary. From there, Ingram Slough flows east to west through the central portion of Village 7.

This reach is perennially inundated receiving a vast majority of its flow from agricultural water purchased from the Nevada Irrigation District. Surface runoff from surrounding terraces and from upstream land uses also enters Ingram Slough. The slough
contributes to water
quality conditions through
transportation of
sediments and nutrients
associated with adjacent
agricultural land use and
runoff from roadway
crossings.

1651

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN

8-6 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

8.2.2 Wetland Preservation and Compensation Program
An overall goal of the Village 7 Specific Plan is no net loss of wetland functions or values. The plan for Village 7 has been designed to preserve large, contiguous open space areas to allow for the restoration of Ingram Slough and the preservation of Auburn Ravine, wetlands, and other habitat within Village 7. Open space has been sited to protect the areas with the greatest concentration of wetlands and vernal pools. Due to development constraints, not all wetland features can be feasibly avoided. Impacts occur primarily in areas where vernal pools and swales are widely dispersed.

Except for the Lewis Property, other planning areas within Village 7 will be a part of the Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP). In total, the 404 permits will include provisions to mitigate the loss of all wetlands within Village 7. Compensation ratios for the mitigation of impacted wetlands are determined by the Corps pursuant to the terms of each 404 permit.

8.2.3 Resource Preservation Measures for Village 7
The following describes some general preservation measures required throughout Village 7.

Development Adjacent To Open Space Preserves
For each phase of construction in all planning areas, the open space/preserve boundaries and areas that are adjacent to construction will be temporarily fenced. Signs will be placed on fencing denoting the locations as protected wetland and wildlife preserve area.

As Village 7 is developed, permanent
open fencing will be installed along
portions of the perimeter of the open
space/preserve area. Fencing will help
to prevent vehicle access to the open
space/ preserve area, particularly where
the open space/preserve abuts public
areas. Educational signage describing
the sensitivity of the protected habitat will
be installed. A combination of fencing,
setbacks, single-loaded streets, and a
minimum of roadway crossings will greatly
reduce impacts on the open space
preserves.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1652

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 8-7
Operations and Management Plan
Operations and Management (O&M) Plans will be implemented in accordance with the applicable 404 permits to continually monitor and correct disturbance, if any, to the open space/preserve area.

On-going maintenance activities could include trash removal, inspections for erosion and invasion of exotic plant species, repair/replacement of fencing and signage, removal of weeds or thatch, and removal of large woody vegetation from creek corridors.

Standards will be established in the Wildfire and O&M Plans to minimize potential future impacts to vernal pools from sources of pollution including urban runoff and neighboring land uses. (Refer to Village 7 General Development Plan Section 3 for more information.) The developers of Village 7’s planning areas will each be responsible for construction, monitoring, and maintenance costs associated with the constructed wetlands within their associated open space/ preserve areas. Deed restrictions or conservation easements will be recorded which will maintain the on-site open space preserves as wetland and wildlife habitat in perpetuity.

8.3 OTHER PLANT and WILDLIFE RESOURCES

8.3.1 Grasslands
Annual grassland is the most common habitat type within Village 7. The grassland vegetation is mainly of a non-native type, with the primary species including wild oats, medusahead grass, ripgut brome, soft chess, Italian rye grass, yellow star thistle, vetch, curly dock, and wild mustard.

Grassland habitat will be preserved
as part of Village 7’s open space
system. Active management of tall
grasses by agricultural mowing,
harvesting, discing, and irrigating
has been shown to provide prey
opportunities. The onsite
preservation of grasslands,
including measures to actively
manage grassland to ensure longterm habitat, will be implemented through the open space/preserve
O&M Plans and Wildfire
Management Plan.

1653

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN

8-8 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

8.3.2 Riparian Woodland
Native trees in Village 7 are found along the Ingram Slough and Auburn Ravine riparian areas. The riparian vegetation consists mainly of small stands of willows and scattered oaks that form sparse coverage at various points along Ingram Slough and Auburn Ravine. Though limited in extent, the riparian vegetation likely provides nesting and cover habitat for a variety of local wildlife species including mourning dove, black phoebe, western wood-pewee, California towhee, song sparrow, opossum, raccoon, deer mouse, broad-footed mole, striped skunk, and gray fox.

Portions of the existing riparian corridors will be preserved, and other areas enhanced, as part of the previously noted Ingram Slough wetlands enhancement effort. The preservation, enhancement, and management of the Ingram Slough riparian corridor will be regulated through the open space/preserve O&M Plans.

8.4 WATER QUALITY
The management of urban runoff for flow control and
water quality improvement is an important component of
the Village 7 Specific Plan. An integrated stormwater
management system has been developed, which is
reflected in the land use plan and specific design
techniques. The preservation of natural open space areas, including sloughs, wetland areas, and principal drainage corridors, in combination with compact neighborhoods,
allows the site hydrology to function as close to its natural (pre-development) condition as possible. Extensive use of Best Management Practices (BMP) and other techniques
will treat and protect surface and groundwater quality.

Bio-filtration of surface runoff may be incorporated within the multi-functional open space system and within
landscaped areas. Water quality treatment will be in
accordance with the State Water Resources Control Board National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II requirements.

Specific design techniques that meet the stormwater
management and water quality goals for Village 7 may
include buffer zones adjacent to wetlands and sloughs that serve as bio-filtration, stormwater retention/detention basins that also provide active and passive recreational activity Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1654

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 8-9
opportunities, paseos, and bio-swales.

These water quality features help control stormwater runoff as close to the source as possible, slow the flow of water, and convey water on the surface by mimicking natural hydrological processes rather than relying on extensive networks of large, underground drainage pipelines.

The use of bio-swales is an effective method to deal with water quality treatment. A typical bio-swale provides for a high level of pollutant removal including decreases in total suspended and floating solids, total phosphorous, total nitrogen, floating trash, heavy metals, bacteria, greases, oils, and turbidity.

The bio-swales convey runoff through shallow vegetated swales removing pollutants through filtration. Pollutants are absorbed by the plant tissues and filtered out of the water. In addition, the bio-swales reduce run-off velocities eliminating scouring and channeling.

Oil/water separators may supplement the
bio-swale system where discharges of
higher-than-normal concentrations of
pollutants may occur, and/or where other
methods of water quality treatment are
deemed infeasible.

Specific details relating to the use of bioswales and other water quality management treatment methods are
provided within the GDP.

8.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
Much of Village 7 has been modified in the past to accommodate agricultural activities, and structures on the parcel are of relatively recent construction. Only one archaeological site has been recorded in the immediate vicinity of the Specific Plan area, however, it was determined that this site does not continue into Village 7.

In addition, Village 7 is subject to the provisions of California State Senate Bill 18, which requires cities consult with California Native American tribes prior to adopting a specific plan. The law is intended to facilitate government-to-government (i.e., city government to tribal government) communication regarding land use planning and its potential effects to tribal cultural places. The City completed the SB 18 process in December 2006.

During future construction activity in Village 7, site preparation activities could unearth an archeological artifact that may qualify as an historical resource. The Village 7 Specific Plan EIR includes mitigation to address the unanticipated discovery of buried resources.

8.6 AIR QUALITY
The greater Sacramento Region, including western Placer County, has been identified as a nonattainment area for both State and Federal ozone standards. The Village 7 Specific Plan incorporates strategies to address projected air emissions associated with construction and occupancy of the development.

Vast areas of Village 7 are devoted to an open space and recreational system planned with amenities designed to encourage residents to walk, run, exercise, ride bikes, and generally enjoy the community outside of the automobile. It is a principle of the Village 7 Specific Plan to establish pedestrian, bike, and trail loop systems throughout the site that link recreation areas, open space areas, and the Village Center to homes.

Village 7 includes miles of multi-use paths, sidewalks, pedestrian routes, and Class 1 bike paths. This integrated system connects to the City-wide trail system that links to downtown Lincoln (see Section 5, Mobility Plan, for additional discussion).

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1657

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN

8-12 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
At a design level, pedestrian bridges and tree-lined separated sidewalks will be incorporated to enhance non-vehicular modes of transportation.

A principle of the Village 7 Specific Plan is to create comfortable and walkable neighborhoods that minimize barriers and emphasize the pedestrian over the automobile.

In addition, Village 7’s roadways are designed
to accommodate Neighborhood Electric
Vehicles (NEVs), with is another strategy to
reduce potential air emissions. These vehicles
are efficient, particularly for local trips, and
reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, have
zero emissions at the point of use, and are less
noisy than gas vehicles.

Building-specific strategies to be considered as
Village 7 develops include, but are not limited
to, low-emitting products for furnaces and air
conditioners, as well as potential photo-voltaic
(solar power) systems. Coordinated tree
plantings and building orientation may also be
used to reduce anticipated heating and
cooling needs. Further strategies may include,
but are not limited to, electric landscaping
equipment, programs encouraging the use of
electric vehicles, or prohibiting use of woodburning fireplaces. Where proposed, details for the implementation of these techniques are
provided in the General Development Plan.

Construction activities will generate dust and
exhaust emissions. Prior to the issuance of
grading permits, a Construction Emission/Dust Control Plan will be submitted to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) for review and approval. All construction activities will be required by contract specification to implement all measures from the approved Construction Emission/Dust Control Plan that are applicable to their activity. Because existing structures could contain asbestos, sampling and abatement performed in accordance with PCAPCD requirements will be required prior to any demolition.

Government Code Section 65451 requires that a Specific Plan includeincludes a program of implementation measures necessary to carry out proposed land uses, infrastructure, development standards, and criteria. Implementation of the Village 7 Specific Plan is to be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of several related planning and program documents, including the development agreements, Environmental Impact Report(s), General Development Plan adopted or approved for Village 7, as well as the City General Plan and the City Zoning Ordinance.

Implementation of the Village 7 Specific Plan is intended to result in the systematic and orderly development of the project. To achieve this intent, the Specific Plan includes a program for the phasing of development, financing and construction of public improvements, review of individual development projects, and Specific Plan amendments/minor modifications. These programs are summarized below, with details and specific requirements included in the above- referenced documents.

9.2 RELATIONSHIP TO CITY PLANS & POLICIES

9.2.1 General Plan
The City of Lincoln 2050 General Plan serves as the long-term policy guide for the physical and economic development of the City. The City’s core values are the foundation of the General Plan and the underlying basis for its vision and direction.

At a policy level, the General Plan provides direction to ensure that future development areas such as Village 7 will employ smart growth principles related to transportation choices, mixed use development, compact development, housing choices, and natural resource conservation. For Village 7, the General Plan facilitates this approach to new development by including policies for the creation of a village center, as well as other elements for the location of roadways, preservation of key natural features, and creation of appropriate transitions along village edges. The Village 7 Specific Plan implements the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan and augments these goals and policies by providing specific direction to reflect conditions unique to the Plan Area.

SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 9-3

9.2.2 Municipal Code
The Lincoln Municipal Code is one of the primary tools for implementing the General Plan. For new development areas, the Municipal Code’s key components are the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, which are used in tandem with this Specific Plan to implement the development program. In some instances, this Specific Plan and/or associated General Development Plan creates specific development regulations for parcels within the Plan Area where unique development patterns are expected. In these cases, the zoning regulations provided in this Specific Plan and associated General Development Plan supersede the City’s Zoning Ordinance. However, where this Specific Plan and associated General Development Plan are silent, the Zoning Ordinance’s regulations prevail.

9.3 SPECIFIC PLAN IMPLEMENTING DOCUMENTS

9.3.1 General Development Plan
The General Development Plan (GDP) is a required companion document that essentially functions as the zoning code for the Village 7 Specific Plan. The use of a GDP in this manner is allowed pursuant to Chapter 18.32 of the Lincoln Zoning
Ordinance, which contemplates
application of the Planned
Development (PD) zoning district to
specific plan areas such as Village 7.

Building upon the underlying PD zoning,
the GDP establishes the regulations,
standards, and guidelines with a much
greater level of detail and specificity
than is provided in this Specific Plan.

Because a GDP contains detailed
performance standards and design
criteria, it can be used as the primary
implementation mechanism to regulate
development activity within each
planning area.

The required contents of a General
Development Plan, including the level of
detail needed for project-specific design
elements, is further described in Section

9.4 later in this chapter.

9.3.2 Development Agreements
The Development agreement is a mechanism that the City uses to help implement construction activity as Village 7 develops. It is a legal and binding contract between the City of Lincoln, the property owner, and any assigned successors-in-interest. Because Village 7 has multiple planning areas, a separate Development Agreement is executed with the property owner and/or entity of each planning area, although it may not be required for some of the smaller planning areas. It vests development rights, delineates obligated infrastructure improvements and dedication requirements, secures the timing and methods for financing improvements, and specifies other performance obligations as related to development of the Specific Plan area.

In September 2013, the Master Developer for the Lewis Property planning area (Lewis Planned Communities) executed a Development Agreement with the City of Lincoln in accordance with applicable state and local codes.

9.3.3 Environmental Impact Report
To meet California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified concurrent with approval of the Village 7 Specific Plan. The EIR assesses the potential direct and indirect environmental effects associated with the development and identifies appropriate mitigation measures. The EIR includes both project and program-level CEQA analysis of the Village 7 Specific Plan area.

At the time of EIR preparation, more detailed information was available about the specific development proposal, and therefore, the resulting impacts of the Lewis Property planning area (the initial participating property in the Village 7 Specific Plan). For this reason, the Lewis Property entitlements were evaluated at a project-level. This allows the City to expedite the processing of future development projects that are consistent with the Village 7 Specific Plan and the General Development Plan, as provided for by CEQA.

For the remaining planning areas within Village 7 (Aitken Ranch II Property, the Scheiber Property, and the Remainder Area), the EIR conducted a program-level CEQA analysis. The program-level analysis assessed impacts and provided mitigation to the extent that they could be determined, but deferred project-level analysis to a future date. This project-level analysis will occur at such a time that applications for General Development Plan amendments, Specific Development Plans, and associated entitlements for Village 7’s three other planning areas are processed by the City.

9.4 SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GENERAL

DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The General Development Plan (GDP) is an important regulatory document that will ensure that development of Village 7 consistently upholds the overarching community design principles established in this Specific Plan. As noted previously, Village 7 is comprised of several planning areas with different ownerships. To accommodate the various levels of property owner participation in the Village 7 planning process, project-specific planning may be conducted separately for each planning area. This allows each property owner to secure development entitlements individually and on separate timelines. The first planning area to seek full development entitlements is to have a lead role in preparing the Village 7 GDP, and as other planning areas seek full development entitlements, the GDP must be amended to incorporate them.

To provide an effective framework for implementation of the Specific Plan, it is critical that the GDP’s contents provide specific details regarding community design. This will ensure that the various planning areas are guided by the same criteria, resulting in a new community that successfully achieves the vision for Village 7. The following list of elements must be included in the Village 7 GDP In some cases, a certain level of specificity is identified, which is intended to provide the City with adequate information to ensure that the resulting development will meet the development principles in this Specific Plan. The level of detail specified below must be provided for each planning area, and as the City reviews the initial GDP (and subsequent amendments), it will determine the adequacy and compliance of the GDP with the submittal requirements below:

Land Use Regulatory Guide
This section is intended to provide specific guidance for the physical form and design of the planning area. It should illustrate the desired development pattern with a greater level of detail than that depicted on the broader Village 7 land use plan. To accomplish this, the regulatory guide shall include individual sections with policy guidance for the Village Center, residential neighborhoods, housing types, mobility systems, parks, and open space. The extensive use of graphics should be incorporated, to visually depict the desired development pattern for the planning area, and conceptually illustrate the location of blocks and lots, connectivity of roads and pathways, and location and design of parks. These should be supported by policies and performance standards that articulate how the conceptual diagrams successfully meet the design intent.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1664

IMPLEMENTATION
9-6 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
Permitted Uses and Development Standards
This section should provide similar information to that of a zoning ordinance. It should specify the permitted uses and development standards for each land use type identified within the planning area.

Residential development standards should be specific to the types of housing products outlined in the land use regulatory guide, addressing such items as lot coverage, setbacks, building separation, heights, etc.

Architectural Design Guidelines
This section should provide site planning and architectural guidance for both residential and commercial parcels within the planning area.

For residential areas, guidelines should be provided to address home siting standards, including appropriate plotting, orientation, and garage/driveway locations, as well as guidelines encouraging neighborhood distinction. In addition, guidelines should be included for the architectural design of homes, addressing such elements as scale and massing, roof and window forms, porches and entries, and exterior finishes. Similar guidelines should be provided for commercial areas, which also address façade design elements, parking lots, service and storage areas, and refuse buffers.

Landscape Design Guidelines
This section is intended to provide specific design criteria and guidelines for landscaping within each planning area. This will establish the visual character of the public realm and will ensure that each planning area is clearly identifiable as part of Village 7. This section should address community theming elements, with specific design criteria for streetscapes, street trees, gateways, and entry features. In addition, this section should provide design criteria for roundabouts, bridges, community signage, walls and fences, and street lighting. The design criteria and guidelines should be supported by the extensive use of graphics and diagrams that conceptually illustrate appropriate design solutions (i.e. gateway or streetscape design) that meet the design intent.

Implementation Plan
This section should build upon the Implementation chapter established in this Specific Plan by providing a greater level of detail for the planning area. It should address the City’s administration of the GDP, its relationship with this Specific Plan and related entitlements for Village 7, and minor or major amendments to the GDP. Most importantly, the GDP’s Implementation Plan should include a more detailed Phasing Plan, including a phasing exhibit, illustrating the development sequencing of parcels within the planning area.

9.5 PHASING
The Village 7 Specific Plan provides for a comprehensively planned infrastructure system, which is outlined in Chapter 7 – Utilities Plan. The coordination and timing for construction of the backbone infrastructure system, its phasing, will be completed such that the extension of utilities occurs in a logical manner and can support the intensity of development in each phase. Because Village 7 is divided into several planning areas, the phasing plan is included in the General Development Plan, which will be amended as each planning area is incorporated. While the infrastructure in each planning area is somewhat reliant on one another, the phasing plan addresses each planning area separately, which allows each to develop on its own accord with respect to timing and pace. For more information on phasing, refer to the General Development Plan.

9.6 FINANCING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
The construction of public improvements to serve Village 7 will be funded by a variety of mechanisms including establishment of one or more Community Facilities Districts, City Impact Fees, School Impact Fees, developer financing, and other methods. The potential financing mechanisms are summarized in Table 9-1.

Community Facilities District
One or more Community Facilities Districts (CFD) will be established to help fund the construction and/or acquisition of backbone infrastructure and facilities within Village 7. The 1982 Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act enables cities and other entities to establish a CFD to fund various facilities and services. The proceeds of the Mello-Roos special tax can be used for direct funding of facilities and/or to pay off bonds. Each planning area will annex into CFD 2018-01 to fund maintenance services.

Such facilities may include landscape corridors and medians, open space areas, bike paths/trails, detention/retention facilities, and City parks.

Additionally, each planning area will annex into CFD 2018-02 to fund governmental services.

City Impact Fees
The City of Lincoln has adopted a set of development impact fees to finance capital improvements. The fee structure requires the payment of fees prior to issuance of a building permit. The City collects park/trail fees, drainage fees, sewer fees, water connection fees, traffic mitigation fees, and public facilities fees.

School Impact Fees
The Western Placer Unified School District has established fees, in accordance with Section 17620 of the California Education Code, to be used to construct school facilities. Pursuant to Section 65995 of the California Government Code, these school impact fees will be collected by the City prior to issuance of a building permit, and are forwarded to the school district, as required by law.

Developer Financing
Direct developer/merchant builder financing may be used to contribute towards backbone improvements and facilities, shortfall financing, and for in-tract subdivision improvements.

As noted, other financing mechanisms may be utilized, including creation of private districts, lighting and landscape assessment districts, or associations to fund maintenance of certain facilities within Village 7.

Specific financing requirements, improvement obligations, fees, reimbursements, land and easement dedications and conveyances, maintenance, and other financing and improvement related obligations are detailed in the Village 7 development agreements.

9.7 SUBSEQUENT ENTITLEMENTS

9.7.1 Processing
For planning areas in Village 7 that have been incorporated into a Cityapproved General Development Plan, individual development projects are subject to review and approval of subsequent permits and entitlements by the City of Lincoln. Application and processing requirements shall be in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance and other regulations, unless otherwise modified by this Specific Plan and applicable General Development Plan(s). All subsequent development projects, public improvements, and other activities shall be consistent with this Specific Plan, the General Development Plan, and applicable Development Agreement(s), and all applicable City of Lincoln policies, requirements, and standards. In acting to approve a subsequent project or permit, the City may impose conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that the project is in compliance with the Village 7 Specific Plan and all applicable plans and regulations.

9.7.2 Environmental Review
Each subsequent development project shall be reviewed to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Environmental Impact Report for the Village 7 Specific Plan (EIR) certified concurrent with the Village 7 Specific Plan, serves as the base environmental document for subsequent entitlements within Village 7.

The EIR includes both project and program-level analysis of the Village 7 Specific Plan area. At the time of EIR preparation, more detailed information was available about the specific development proposal, and therefore the resulting impacts of the Lewis Property planning area (the initial participating property in the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan). For this reason, the Lewis Property was evaluated at a project-level CEQA analysis. However, for the three remaining planning areas within Village 7 (the Aitken Ranch II Property the Scheiber Property, and the Remainder Area), the EIR conducted a program-level CEQA analysis. This assessed impacts and provided mitigation to the extent that they could be determined. Subsequent project-level analysis will occur at such a time that applications for General Development Plan amendments for Village 7’s other planning areas are processed by the City.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1670

IMPLEMENTATION
9-12 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
In accordance with CEQA, subsequent development applications will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis to determine consistency with the applicable EIR(s). If, through the initial CEQA review a development application is determined to be consistent with the Village 7 Specific Plan and within the scope of the EIR, further environmental review may not be necessary. Section 65457(a) of the California Government Code and Section 15182(a) of CEQA provide that no EIR or negative declaration is required for any residential project undertaken in conformity with an adopted Specific Plan for which an EIR has been certified. If it is determined that a development application is inconsistent with the Village 7 Specific Plan and/or substantial evidence exists that supports the occurrence of any of the events set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, a determination will be made as to the appropriate subsequent environmental document.

A mitigation monitoring program has been adopted with the Village 7 Specific Plan EIR in accordance with Public Resources Code 21081.8 to help ensure implementation of EIR mitigation measures.

9.7.3 Subsequent Village Center Planning
Prior to commencing construction within the Village Center portion of the Specific Plan, a Conceptual Development Plan shall be prepared and approved by the City. The Conceptual Development Plan shall identify proposed uses (residential, commercial, park school, etc.), detailed circulation system (public streets, private roadways, bicycle/ pedestrian routes, etc.) and the general orientation of proposed structures. The Conceptual Development Plan will serve as guidance for development, but subsequent project entitlements shall refine details generally consistent with the form and intent of the Conceptual Development Plan.

The developer may process the Village Center Conceptual Development Plan currently with or prior to City consideration of specific development projects within the Village Center.

9.8 SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENTS AND MINOR

MODIFICATIONS
The Development Services Department will administer, implement, and enforce this Specific Plan. The developers, their successors, and the individual parcel owners, will also be able to enforce the provisions of the Specific Plan by way of CC&Rs and Homeowner’s Association.

9.8.1 Adoption
The Specific Plan was adopted by the City of Lincoln City Council and will be used at the basis for adopting a General Development Plan, as provided for under the Planned Unit Development Zoning District.

9.8.2 Specific Plan Amendments
The California Government Code Section 65453 indicates that a Specific Plan “may be amended as often as deemed necessary by the legislative body.” Amendments to this Plan may be initiated by the developer, property owner, or by the City, in accordance with terms and conditions imposed during the original approval or in accordance with any terms and conditions pertaining to planned development ordinances.

Proposed changes to a Specific Plan typically require approval of a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA). Specific Plan Amendments are processed in the same manner as the initial Specific Plan adoption, requiring review by the Planning Commission and action by the City Council. They will be subject to City review for consistency with the scope of the project EIR and may be subject to the provisions of CEQA as outlined in Section 9.5.2, above. An amendment or amendments to this Specific Plan will not require a concurrent General Plan Amendment unless it is determined by the City Manager and/or Community Development Director that the proposed amendment would be inconsistent with the General Plan goals, objectives, policies, and/ or principles applicable to the property.

The City Manager and/or Community Development Director shall within ten (10) working days of any submittal of a request to amend this Plan, determine whether the amendment is significant or insignificant. If the amendment is determined to be significant, the application shall be reviewed and considered in the manner prescribed by City ordinance. If the amendment is determined to be insignificant, the Director may approve or deny the application. Any decision of the Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission and/or the City Council, provided said appeal is initiated within ten (10) working days of receipt by the applicant of written notice of the Director’s decision.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1673

IMPLEMENTATION
SPECIFIC PLAN February APRIL 202620254 9-15
Examples of significant changes include the following.

1. The introduction to the Specific Plan area of a new land use designation not contemplated in this original Specific Plan, or in this Specific Plan as subsequently amended.

2. Changes to the circulation system or community facility design which would materially affect a planning concept detailed in this Specific Plan, or this Specific Plan as subsequently amended.

3. Any change that would result in a significant and adverse environmental impact.

Necessary Findings
The consideration of any proposed amendment to this Plan shall include the determination of the following findings:

1. Changes occurred in the community since the approval of the original Specific Plan, which warrants approving the proposed amendment.

2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan for the City of Lincoln.

3. The proposed amendment will result in a benefit to the area within the Specific Plan.

4. The proposed amendment will not result in any unmitigated impact to adjacent properties.

5. The proposed amendment will enable the delivery of services and public facilities to the population within the area of this Specific Plan.

9.8.3 Minor Revisions
It is anticipated that the Village 7 Specific Plan may need to respond to changing conditions and expectations during its implementation. To address this intent, the Specific Plan provides for Minor Revisions in addition to typical Specific Plan Amendments. The City Manager and/or Community Development Director shall determine whether a proposed revision is minor and may act upon a minor revision to the Specific Plan administratively, without public hearing.

A minor revision to the Village 7 Specific Plan may be processed if determined by the City Manager and/or Community Development Director to be in substantial conformance with the following.

1. The Planning Principles and overall intent of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

2. The Development Agreement(s) for the Specific Plan.

3. The City of Lincoln General Plan goals, objectives, policies, and principles (see 9.8.2).

4. The Village 7 Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report.

Attachment 8 Exhibit B
1674

IMPLEMENTATION
9-16 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
Examples of minor revisions to the Village 7 Specific Plan include but are not limited to the following.

1. The addition of new or updated information which does not substantively change the Specific Plan.

2. Minor adjustments to land use boundaries and street alignments where the general land use pattern is maintained.

3. Changes to the provision of public infrastructure and facilities which do not impact the level of service provided or affect the development capacity in Village 7.

4. Modifications to the phasing of Village 7 which do not change the overall balance of providing adequate infrastructure for the development.

Any proposed minor revision to the Village 7 Specific Plan may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager and/or Community Development Director, be referred to the Planning Commission and City Council for action.

Determinations and actions by the Community Development Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission. If the City Manager and/or Community Development Director determines that a proposed amendment does not meet the above criteria, a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) shall be required.

9.8.4 Substantial Conformity with Conceptual Exhibits
Except for Village 7 Specific Plan Figure 4-1 Land Use Plan and General Development Plan Figure 3-1, the exhibits contained in the Village 7 Specific Plan and General Development Plan are conceptual to convey development/design concepts and are subject to change with design refinement of the Project at time of Tentative Subdivision Map(s). As such, strict adherence to the conceptual exhibits contained therein is not expected and individual design elements are permitted to be relocated, removed and/or added as needed to best suit the planned development pattern. For example, neighborhood boundaries may be adjusted; paseo, park, and school shapes, locations, and access points shifted; street sections refined; utility alignments shifted; etc., to conform to the proposed street and lot layout shown on the Tentative Subdivision Map(s). Note that if park shape, location, etc. are adjusted, Lincoln General Plan park dedication requirements are still required to be met.

Unless the proposed modifications would also trigger a Major Amendment to the Village 7 Specific Plan (as defined in SP Section 9.8.2) and/or General Development Plan (as defined in GDP Section 8.5.2), these minor design refinements should be considered by the City Manager and Community Development Director to be in substantial conformance with the Land Use Plan and, as such, would not warrant of require revisions to the Village 7 Specific Plan and/or General Development Plan to be in compliance with the Land Use Plan and/or Zoning exhibits.

WHEREAS, on July 28, 2026, the City Council did hold a duly noticed public hearing and, following discussion and public testimony, voted to introduce and waive the first reading to adopt the amended Village 7 General Development Plan (provided in Exhibit B).

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LINCOLN does ordain as follows:

Section 1. This Ordinance incorporates, and by this reference makes a part hereof, that the Amendments to the Village 7 General Development Plan, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and on file with the Community Development Director, relative to the Village 7B Amendments Project.

Section 2. General Development Plan Findings. The City Council finds and determines that:
a. The Amendments to the Village 7 General Development Plan are consistent with the March 2008 General Plan, as amended by Resolution No. 2012-197 and proposed Resolution No. 2013-022 (the “General Plan Amendment Resolution”) and is also consistent with the proposed Village 7 Specific Plan (the “Specific Plan”), and proposed amendment thereto, because the General Development Plan with the proposed amendment (“Amended General Development Plan”) establishes zoning districts and development standards for land uses which are allowed by the General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations and the policies for new residential, commercial and open space land uses which apply to the Village 7 property. Specifically, the Amended General Development Plan provides for low density residential, medium density residential and high density residential, mixed-use commercial, schools, parks and recreations and open space land use designations. The Amended General Development Plan provides a master development plan and specific development standards for residential and non-residential land uses within the Specific Plan area. b. The Amended Village 7 General Development Plan is consistent with the General Plan because the zoning districts provide for the following land use districts which are allowed by the General Plan land use designations as Village Country Estates, Village Low Density Residential, Village Medium Density Residential, Village Medium-High Density Residential, Village High Density Residential, and Village Mixed Use commercial. Additionally, the Amended General Development Plan includes open space which is consistent with General Plan open space requirements.
c. The Amended Village 7 General Development Plan is consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance because it has been prepared pursuant to and for implementation of the Village 7 Specific Plan Area to specify the uses, the locations of such uses, and the governing development standards and design guidelines for the development of a master planned community. The General Development Plan is also consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance because it consists of a map and text showing all uses, intensity of land use as measured by units per acre and area coverage; major circulation and development phases. 1686
Ordinance No.

d. The Amended Village 7 General Development Plan is consistent with the requirements of the Planned Development District zone of the City’s Zoning Ordinance which governs the Village 7 Specific Plan Area because it has been designed to provide for a creative, more flexible and orderly approach to the use of land.

Section 3. The proposed Amendment to the Village 7 General Development Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by this reference, is subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.

Section 4. Based on the findings set forth in this Ordinance, and the evidence in the Staff Report, the City Council hereby approves the Amendment to the Village 7 General Development Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit B, substantially in the form on file with the Community Development Director.

Section 5. Severability. If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the Ordinance and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions to be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

1.1 Purpose & Scope
The Village 7 General Development Plan (GDP) is a companion document to the Village 7 Specific Plan, providing the regulatory mechanisms to carry out the Specific Plan vision. The GDP is best characterized as an implementation tool for the Specific Plan, used by the City of Lincoln to process subsequent entitlements such as Subdivision Maps, Specific Development Plans, and Development Permits, (see Village 7 Specific Plan Section 9.8.4 and General Development Plan 8.5.4 Substantial Conformity for details).

The City of Lincoln’s Zoning
Ordinance requires that a General
Development Plan be prepared for
master-planned developments
such as Village 7. Consistent with
the Zoning Ordinance’s
requirements, this GDP contains the
land use regulations, permitted
uses, development standards,
design guidelines, project review provisions, and all related regulations for residential and non-residential development. However, the GDP also works in conjunction with the Lincoln Zoning Ordinance.

Future development projects within Village 7 are required to comply with the applicable standards and guidelines adopted in the Village 7 GDP. However, where the GDP is silent, the City’s adopted zoning regulations take precedence.

1.2 Regional Context
The Village 7 Specific Plan area is
in the southwest area of the City
of Lincoln in south Placer County.

Lincoln is located on State Route
65 (SR 65), north of the Interstate
80 (I-80) urban corridor and the
City of Roseville (see Figure 1-1,
Regional Context).

Figure 1-1: Regional Context
Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1699

INTRODUCTION
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 1-3

1.3 Entitlements Granted to Participating Planning Areas As outlined in the Specific Plan, Village 7 is divided into four planning areas, which allows the various land ownerships to develop separately and under different timelines.

The Village 7 GDP functions
as a template for the types
of regulations and guidelines
that will ultimately apply to
all planning areas in Village

7. Upon initial adoption of this
GDP, full land use and zoning
entitlements were granted to
the initial participating
planning area within Village
7, (the Lewis Property
planning area). As each of
the remaining planning
areas seek full development
entitlements, this GDP will be
updated and amended to
include them. This approach
is further outlined in Section
8, Implementation, and will
ensure that this GDP’s
regulations are applied in a
relatively consistent manner
as Village 7 develops over
time. In 20265, a General
Development Plan
Amendment to include the
SheiberScheiber and Aitken
Rranch II properties was
sought and approved. The
scope of this GDP applies
only to the planning areas
identified on Figure 1-2.

1.4 Document Organization
The Village 7 General Development Plan is organized into eight sections as follows.

Section 1 – Introduction: Provides an overview and purpose of the General Development Plan, including its relationship with the Village 7 Specific Plan and its function as an
implementation tool.

Section 2 – Sustainable Development Practices: Outlines the various design elements intended to foster development of a sustainable community with ‘green’ building practices.

Section 3 – Land Use Regulatory Guide: Addresses the physical form of the built environment by providing principles,
guidelines, and standards for the design of neighborhoods and mobility systems. This section also includes concept plans for park facilities and preservation guidelines for the open space network.

Section 4 – Permitted Uses and Development Standards:

Outlines the permitted uses and development standards for all land use designations.

Section 5 – Residential Design Guidelines: Provides guidelines that will help direct home siting and orientation, residential design elements, and architectural style characteristics for the design of homes on all residential parcels.

Section 6 – Commercial Design Guidelines: Outlines the site and architectural design guidelines for the development of commercial buildings on non-residential parcels.

Section 7 – Landscape Design Guidelines: Addresses the
physical design of the public realm, with design guidelines for community theming elements, signage, walls and fences,
street lighting, landscaping, and plant materials.

Section 8 – Implementation: Describes the entitlement process for future development projects, including a Phasing Plan for backbone infrastructure systems.

1.5 Relation to Specific
Plan
The Village 7 General
Development Plan (GDP) is an
implementation tool for the
Village 7 Specific Plan. The
contents of this document are
aligned with the requirements set
forth in Section 9.4 of the Village 7
Specific Plan, as previously
described in Section 1.3 of this
GDP (above).

As an extension of the Specific
Plan, both documents are
intended to work in tandem with
one another. Where the Specific
Plan provides the fundamental
vision and development
framework for the entire Village 7
Plan Area, the GDP takes this framework “to the next level.” It provides specific regulations, standards, and guidelines appropriate to ensure that all development within Village 7 is consistent with the Specific Plan’s vision, design principles, and development framework.

1.6 Zoning Standards Applied
Ultimately, all property within the Village 7 Specific Plan area will have a Planned Development (PD) zoning designation, as defined by Section 18.32 of the Lincoln Zoning Ordinance. The intent of the City’s PD District is “to encourage and provide for a creative and more flexible approach to the use of land; to maximize the choices of types of living environments available to people in the city; and to encourage more efficient allocation and maintenance of privately controlled common open space through the redistribution of overall densities where such a rearrangement is desirable and feasible” (Zoning Ordinance Section 18.32.010).

As outlined in Section 7, Implementation, the PD zoning designation is applied to each planning area individually, upon City approval of full development entitlements. The PD zoning designation anticipates that the typical zoning regulations will be established in the GDP and it allows flexibility in creating standards for setbacks, lot area and width, lot coverage, and other provisions. Further, as provided in Section Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1703

INTRODUCTION
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 1-7

18.32.020, the PD district allows “various uses to be
combined…provided that combinations of uses results in a balanced and stable environment.” To that end, this GDP builds upon the City’s Zoning Ordinance and provides a comprehensive set of development regulations.

While the various sections of this GDP should be implemented in a coordinated manner, Section 3 (Permitted Uses and Development Standards) outlines Village 7’s essential zoning regulations.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES
2-2 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

2.1 Introduction
Village 7 employs several design elements intended to foster development of a sustainable community with green building practices. Key sustainability components are noted below.

2.1.1 Community Design
As a master-planned community, Village 7’s initial design concepts emphasized sustainability by using land in an efficient manner, preserving open space, and conserving natural resources. As described in the Specific Plan, an underlying premise that heavily influenced Village 7’s community form was “working with the land to create community.” This approach resulted in organizing land uses, locating roadways, designing utility systems, and preserving open space in a sustainable manner that respects the land’s assets and long-term, natural functions. In addition, the community’s design establishes a framework for creating livable neighborhoods, with a mixture of housing types, recreational amenities, and gathering places that will enhance the community’s long-term value.

2.1.2 Plan Implementation
To build upon the sustainable community design framework, Village 7 incorporates ‘green’ building elements that are to be implemented through the construction stages of development.

These practices include requirements for buildings to be energy efficient, to utilize less resources during construction, and to have a durable, high-quality design.

The intent is to implement a whole-systems approach, from community design to building construction, that will result in a sustainable community with long-term benefits for the environment.

Several elements are addressed in the whole-systems approach, which are heavily reliant on one another, as follows.

1. Land Use and Community Design

2. Mobility

3. Air Quality

4. Energy Efficiency

5. Indoor Air Quality

6. Resource Conservation through Construction

7. Water Conservation

8. Stormwater Treatment
This section outlines how each of the elements above are incorporated as part of Village 7’s community design and/or plan implementation to create a sustainable community.

the Land to Create Community
The pattern of land uses, location of roadways, and preservation of open space resulted in a community design that emphasized sustainability and integrated the built environment with the natural landscape. For Village 7’s development areas, the intent is to create complete neighborhoods that are livable and safe for residents of all demographics. In this context, sustainable development means utilizing compact, mixed, and higher-development intensities that use land more efficiently, making forms of mobility such as walking and bicycling more convenient. This in turn, reduces pollution, automobile dependence, and the expenditure of energy and other resources.

Sustainable design is a common theme that is reflected throughout the Village 7 Specific Plan and General Development Plan. The various components of this approach are summarized below.

1. Creating neighborhoods with a mix of housing types and affordability.

2. Including a node or central gathering spot that gives each neighborhood identity.

3. Providing services such as schools, parks, and retail that serve residents throughout Village 7.

4. Creating a system of “green infrastructure” consisting of parks, open space preserves, and other park-like linkages.

5. Protect environmental resources by preserving wetlands such as creeks, ponds, vernal pools, and other seasonal wetlands, and by preserving annual grasslands, oak woodlands, wildlife corridors that provide habitat for rare and endangered
species.

6. Incorporating design elements that respond to climatic demands and conserves natural resources. (See Resource
Conservation and Water Conservation sections.)

7. Planting streetscapes with trees that will mature to have an extensive tree canopy to provide shade, which is augmented by attractive landscaping.

8. Planning for an interconnected street network within and between neighborhoods. (See Mobility section.)

9. Utilizing LED technology for street lighting and traffic signalization.

10. Creating a network of pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway facilities that are connected to adjacent neighborhoods and commercial centers. (See Mobility section.)

2.3 Mobility
The mobility system is heavily linked to the community design component described above, as Village 7’s land use and roadway systems were designed in tandem with one another. Village 7’s mobility elements address significantly more than roadways however, as the intent is to facilitate other forms of travel through the community. It focuses on creating a comprehensive and multi-modal transportation system that offers multiple choices with multi-use paths, class 1 trails, roadways, and NEV routes. By reducing and/or eliminating barriers that might otherwise “force” automobile usage, walking and bicycling become more viable forms of mobility, which reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The approach for Village 7’s mobility system is to create “complete” streets that include facilities and designs for all users. The elements of this approach are highlighted below:

1. Providing an integrated network of streets within and between neighborhoods.

2. Creating a balanced mobility system that accommodates all forms of mobility, including walking, cycling, transit, and driving.

3. Designing streets that appropriately relate to their corresponding land uses.

4. Incorporating roundabouts or similar features as a means to control automobile traffic, thereby enhancing walkability along streets and reducing air pollution/greenhouse gas emissions by reducing automobile idling at intersections.

5. Supporting the use of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs).

6. Providing continuous pedestrian and bicycling facilities that are safe to use and accessible throughout Village 7, which allow for travel free of major impediments or obstacles.

7. Including street trees with tall and wide canopies that shade sidewalks and street surfaces.

8. Incorporating measures into street design that minimizes stormwater runoff. (See Stormwater Treatment section.)

2.4 Air Quality
A sustainable design approach to community design also has improved effects on air quality. This is reflected in Village 7 through the following measures:

1. Creating mobility systems that facilitate walking and bicycling in lieu of driving and designing streets that control traffic in a manner that shortens automobile idle time at intersections, which reduces automobile emissions.

2. Providing routes for zero emission and low-emission vehicles (such as NEVs).

3. Requiring that homes use non-wood-burning stoves and fireplaces.

2.5 Energy Efficiency
Building construction in Village 7 will promote the latest technologies in energy efficiency, which will reduce reliance on non-renewable natural resources, such as electricity and natural gas. The most significant component of reducing plan-wide energy usage can be realized through measures incorporated in home design. A menu of these items is outlined below and will be implemented in whole or in part, to enhance energy efficiency throughout Village 7.

1. Designing buildings to maximize seasonal solar access for heating and cooling, by orienting buildings and windows for proper exposure to the sun, creating overhangs on southfacing windows, and including deciduous trees on the southern and western building edges.

2. Using construction materials, such has insulation and doublepaned windows, that require buildings to use less energy for heating and cooling.

3. Incorporating elements of a building’s internal “infrastructure” that reduce energy usage, such as zoned and/or highefficiency HVAC systems, programmable thermostats, tankless water heaters, or solar power.

4. Requiring installed appliances and lighting to be energy efficient by utilizing high efficiency home appliances (such as those that are Energy Star rated) and compact fluorescent lighting.

2.6 Indoor Air Quality
Proper indoor air quality is a component of environmental sustainability that can be accomplished through “green” building practices. The measures outlined below are intended to improve indoor air quality to create safe and healthy homes, which increase their long-term livability.

1. Using paints, wood finishes, and adhesives that emit no or a low amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing the amount and type of chemicals that affect indoor air quality.

2. Including measures that keep a home well-ventilated and prevent occurrence of biological contaminants (such as mold) that can deteriorate indoor air quality, such as mechanical ventilation systems, bath fans, and range hoods that vent to the outside.

3. Requiring use of sealed-combustion furnaces/water heaters.

4. Requiring that homes use non-wood-burning stoves/fireplaces.

2.7 Resource Conservation through Construction
Conservation of building construction materials is another “green” building practice included in Village 7’s whole-systems approach to environmental sustainability. Several measures are outlined below that address construction techniques and use of building materials, which will be implemented in whole or in part to conserve resources used for production of building materials.

1. Applying advanced framing techniques that reduce lumber requirements for a home or building.

2. Using engineered lumber and wood products that help
protect old growth forests.

3. Utilizing durable products that require less frequent replacement, such as roofing materials with a 40 or 50-year warranty.

4. Using building products that are comprised of recycled materials, such as decking, tiles, or carpet, or renewable products, such as cork, bamboo, or natural fiber carpet.

5. Reducing the amount of solid waste generated during building construction by recycling, composting, and separating waste, thereby reducing construction waste disposed of at landfills Attachment 10 Exhibit B

2.8 Water Conservation
Village 7 provides for the efficient and smart use of water resources, which is a significant component of plan-wide environmental sustainability. For Village 7, water conservation is realized through both community and building design. Offsets for potable water usage can be achieved by utilizing recycled water for irrigation and by incorporating “green” building practices. The following menu of items are intended to be implemented to maximize water conservation to the extent feasible and practicable.

1. Irrigating landscape parkways, medians, linear parkways, and parks with recycled water, thereby reducing the reliance on potable water and decreasing release of treated wastewater into drainage corridors.

2. Using landscape materials that are drought-tolerant and/or require less water when established.

3. Reducing the amount of turf used in residential yard areas, thereby decreasing the reliance on potable water sources for irrigation.

4. Using “smart” irrigation controllers throughout the community, which restrict irrigation to only the times and water application rates that are necessary to maintain landscaping.

5. Incorporating re-circulating hot water systems or similar technologies in the design of homes, which will provide nearly instantaneous hot water at any hot water faucet and reduce water waste.

6. Requiring use of low-flush toilets and water fixtures that have lower flow rates in buildings.

2.9 Stormwater Treatment
Village 7’s community design establishes a strong framework for stormwater management, providing for both storage and treatment of stormwater within the community. As outlined in the Specific Plan and General Development Plan, several measures are incorporated that will reduce stormwater runoff, as well as remove contaminants from stormwater before it enters creeks or natural drainage ways. This type of stormwater treatment is best described in two categories: Low Impact Development standards (LIDs) and End of Pipe Treatment Control. These stormwater treatment measures are outlined below, which are intended to work in tandem with one another to treat stormwater runoff generated by development before entering adjacent receiving waters.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1711

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES
2-8 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

2.9.1 Low Impact Development Standards
A variety of Low Impact Development elements (LIDs) may be implemented in Village 7 to achieve a reduction in stormwater runoff.

The selection and use of these elements may vary by development project, depending on the runoff reduction sought. The various LID options may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Using disconnected roof drains that allow stormwater to filter through landscaping before entering the stormwater system.

2. Creating landscaped areas that separate pavement from stormwater collection systems.

3. Incorporating bio-filtration facilities such as grassy swales.

4. Providing stormwater detention basins.

5. Using pervious surfaces that allows stormwater to infiltrate the ground versus run off.

6. Incorporating buffers from streams, which provide
opportunities for stormwater filtration prior to entering the receiving waters.

Village 7 LID standards will be in compliance with local and statewide Phase 2 MS4 storm water general permit requirements.

2.9.2 End of Pipe Treatment
In addition to the implementation of the above referenced LID measures, Village 7’s storm drainage system is designed to provide additional protection of the natural environment and receiving waters by providing end of pipe treatment techniques. These measures provide a final stormwater filtering prior to runoff being sent to the receiving waters in the adjacent drainages. End of pipe treatment controls can include the following:

1. Installing “fossil filter” (oil/water separators) or equivalent petroleum absorbing insert assemblies.

2. Using trash screen vaults.

The final selection of stormwater treatment controls may vary depending on site-specific factors associated with the development projects in each neighborhood, addressing factors necessary to provide appropriate treatment prior to release into adjacent drainages.

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
3-2 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 Purpose of Regulatory Guide
The primary function of the Land Use Regulatory Guide is to direct the physical form of development in Village 7. An important distinction of this section is that it focuses on the built environment, not uses and standards. It contains guiding principles to direct the community’s design in a three-dimensional manner, addressing development patterns, street networks, pedestrian/bicycle linkages, block and lot design, and home orientation. The framework established in the section is further guided by the development standards in Section 4 and the residential, commercial, and landscape design guidelines in Sections 5, 6, and 7. The intent is that the overarching vision for Village 7 can be achieved through the proper application of this Regulatory Guide and associated standards and guidelines.

Because the GDP’s various sections are so
closely integrated, it is critical that they be
applied in close coordination with one
another.

3.1.2 Zoning for Regulatory Guide
As noted in Section 1.2, full land use and
zoning entitlements for this GDP are granted
to participating properties in Village 7 (see
figure 1-2). While the Specific Plan provides
a vision for all of Village 7’s ultimate land
uses, the regulatory guide in this section
focuses on the
geographic area of
Village 7 that is subject
to this GDP.

Figure 3-1 illustrates the
zoning established for
the participating
properties (consistent
with Section 4, Land
Use, of the Specific
Plan), which is
summarized in Table 3-

1. It is from this land
use plan that the
regulatory guide
In 2026, a new residential
land use category, VMHDR,
was introduced to Plan
that allows a density range
of 6-18 du/ac. This wide
range is intentional to allow
for flexibility in market
demand for housing. Refer
to Table 3-1 Zoning

3.1.3. Building on the Specific Plan Vision
The Specific Plan establishes an overarching vision for all development within Village 7, outlining the physical and visual elements that will characterize the new community. The basic premise of this vision is ”Working with the Land and Creating Community.”
The General Development Plan builds on this vision, taking the Specific Plan’s high-level goals and principles to the next level by providing specific design guidance that will direct the physical form of the built environment.

The GDP illustrates the various residential neighborhoods that are to be created (see Figure 3-2) and provides design criteria to be followed in each neighborhood.

3.1.4. Organization of Regulatory Guide
This section is organized into two key components.

Community Design Elements
This includes high-level plans and guiding principles for the Village 7 community as a whole. This sub-section describes what design elements are important to ensure that the
development pattern, mobility systems, and parks and open space areas are integrated within and between Village 7’s various planning areas, consistent with the Specific Plan vision.

Neighborhood Design Principles
This includes design guidance for each neighborhood,
including the Village Center. Each neighborhood is
geographically defined and connected to a set of design criteria that outline its desired physical form, addressing elements such as development patterns, building placement and orientation, automobile access, pedestrian/ bicycle connections, and public spaces.

3.2 Community Design Elements
The Village 7 Specific Plan outlines several overarching principles intended to guide development to create community (per Section 3.3 of the specific plan document). This sub-section builds upon those principles, outlining what physical design elements in the public realm are important to carry out this vision. The elements described below for development patterns, mobility systems, and parks and open space areas should be used to guide the overall community form.

While the community design elements outlined in this sub-section apply to all of Village 7, the diagrams focus only on the participating planning areas. As future amendments to this GDP are processed for additional planning areas, each new planning area must demonstrate compliance with these design elements.

3.2.1. Development Pattern
The pattern of development – how land uses are organized and relate to streets – is a critical element in creating community consistent with the Specific Plan vision. To facilitate the desired outcome, the development pattern for Village 7 is to be guided by principles for traditional neighborhood design. This pattern of development is intended to create residential neighborhoods where homes are organized along a network of a modified grid of internal streets, characterized by front yards with large tree canopies, homes that are oriented to the public realm, and parks that create community gathering places. These principles should be applied in close coordination with the design principles for mobility, outlined in the following sub-section.

The design principles for the community’s development pattern are outlined as follows and supported by Figure 3-3.

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 3-13

Design Principles for Development Pattern

1. Create a series of distinct residential neighborhoods, which together, have strong visual and physical linkages to the Village Center.

2. Define each neighborhood by natural features such as wetlands and drainages.

3. Ensure that residential neighborhoods are anchored by a park space and can support a variety of housing types and
densities.

4. A variety of residential uses and/or lot types and sizes within residential neighborhoods should be located around a park space, placing residents in proximity to the amenity.

5. Ensure that each neighborhood’s framework of streets and blocks forms a basic modified grid, but is flexible with respect to such framework so that each neighborhood can respond to site topography and natural features such as wetlands, open space areas, etc.

6. Seamlessly integrate neighborhoods with one another by creating street patterns with multiple connection points between adjacent neighborhoods.

7. Create a permeable edge between developed
neighborhoods and natural open space areas by
incorporating elements such as single-loaded streets, loop roads, live end cul-de-sacs, paseos, back yards with view permeable fencing, or other types of linkages.

8. Ensure that the development pattern of streets and blocks creates linear view corridors, which provide linkages between neighborhoods and enhances access to park and open
space areas, and the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard.

9. On residential blocks, incorporate breaks at regular intervals, either via streets, paseos, or multi-use paths, to avoid creating long undivided blocks that limit access within and through neighborhoods.

10. Where neighborhoods adjoin one another, design residential blocks such that either the centerline of the block, or the centerline of the adjacent street, is aligned along the neighborhood edge, thereby ensuring cross-connectivity
between neighborhoods.

11. Utilize green features such as paseos as a means of integrating the residential neighborhoods with parks, open space areas, and other neighborhoods.

3.2.2. Mobility Systems
Connectivity is a key element for Village 7. The Village 7 GDP places priority on creating a highly connected mobility system for pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles ensuring that numerous choices are available for such transportation modes. The design emphasizes interconnectivity between neighborhoods to integrate all of the residential areas. The following principles describe how the mobility system should be designed and are illustrated in Figure 3-3, which illustrates how these principles can be achieved .

Design Principles for Mobility Systems

1. Create a cCentral bBoulevard through the community that supports pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles, and provides access to all neighborhoods.

2. Incorporate traffic circles (or other traffic measures) along the cCentral bBoulevard, which calm traffic, provide natural transitions into neighborhood entrances, function as
community identifying features, and create visual waypoints along the roadway.

3. Design street networks to have a high degree of multidirectional connectivity within neighborhoods. Limit long circuitous roads and provide multiple choices for movement through the community.

4. To enhance connectivity through the community and to facilitate walking and bicycling, street patterns within individual neighborhoods should be designed to provide both on and off-street connections to adjacent neighborhoods, as well as non-residential areas including parks, open space areas, the school, and Village Center.

5. Where residential neighborhood edges adjoin arterial roadways, collector streets, or open space areas, paseos may be used to create a permeable neighborhood interface.

6. Strengthen the mobility system by incorporating a
comprehensive on- and off-street network of multi-use paths and sidewalks, which connect neighborhoods and provide
direct linkages to park and open space areas.

7. Designate pedestrian routes through neighborhoods that provide physical and visual linkages to parks and open space.

8. Provide connections from neighborhood interiors to adjacent roadways or open space areas at the terminus of streets, where they can be easily found and where they provide direct visual connections.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1726

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 3-15

3.2.3. Parks and Open Space Areas
The parks and open space system is another key defining element of Village 7. These features help shape the visual character of the neighborhoods, providing places for residents to gather, recreate, and take ownership of the community in which they live. For these spaces to effectively define the public realm, their placement and access within the neighborhoods is critical.

The design principles below describe how these features should be incorporated into the community. The principles are shown in Figure 3- 3, which conceptually illustrates how these principles can be implemented.

Design Principles for Parks and Open Space

1. Establish a backbone of green infrastructure consisting of linear parkways and paseos that provide linkages between parks and open space areas.

2. Provide centralized park spaces within residential
neighborhoods that will function as a gathering space for active and passive recreation.

3. Site park spaces in proximity to the entrance of residential neighborhoods where appropriate, which may be framed by the neighborhood’s building forms and housing types.

4. Ensure that most parks have street frontage on at least two sides and are visually exposed to the surrounding
neighborhood.

5. Integrate the open space system and the residential
neighborhoods by siting single-loaded roads, live-end cul-desacs, open view fencing, and/or paseos between each use.

6. Site parks and access points to the open space system along the multi-use paths, pedestrian routes, and other view
corridors, such that these features have strong physical and visual linkages throughout the community.

3.3 Neighborhood Design Elements
This sub-section provides specific criteria for the design of each neighborhood identified in Figure 3-2. There are different objectives, design elements, and natural features that will influence each neighborhood’s physical form. These are reflected in the design principles and address elements such as development patterns, building placement and orientation, automobile access, pedestrian/ bicycle connections, and public spaces.

1728

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 3-17

traditional town center. The design, scale, and orientation of buildings should create an urban edge along the street frontages, with architectural features, entries, and fenestration that engage the public realm. The organization of buildings should promote connectivity, with a development pattern that facilitates walking between uses. This will ensure that the Village Center areas have permeable edges and are integrated with the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

The physical design of the Village Center should be guided by the following principles.

1. VMU buildings should be organized along Ferrari Ranch Road and the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard, framing the
streetscape and visually establishing their importance as anchors of the Village Center.

2. The primary building should be situated at the southwest corner of Ferrari Ranch Road and Liberty Parkway Central Boulevard and have a significant scale and architectural presence that will visually distinguish it as a landmark in the community.

3. VMU buildings should be sited to create strong visual and physical linkages with the adjacent land uses, helping
integrate land uses. In addition, to the extent it fits with the adjacent uses, buildings should also take advantage of views and/or access to parks and open space.

4. Attached homes/apartments on HDR parcels should be
aligned along the edge of the linear parkways on Ferrari Ranch Road and theLiberty Parkway Central Boulevard, with fenestration and other architectural elements oriented to the street to activate the streetscape.

5. Where HDR buildings are sited adjacent to, or across the street from, single-family detached homes, the size, scale, and massing of the HDR buildings should be compatible with the single-family housing.

6. Where HDR parcels are located adjacent to open space, the open space should be treated as an amenity, with units
fronting and/or windows facing onto this feature and with clearly defined access points to the multi-use trail system. In addition, paseos should be sited within the HDR parcel to create linear view corridors and pedestrian linkages where appropriate to adjacent residential neighborhoods, to the Liberty ParkwayCentral Boulevard, and to open space areas.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1729

7. In the development plans for the VMU site, clearly defined and visually accessible connections to the multi-use path network from adjacent open space areas, linear parkways, and/or paseos should be provided.

8. On the VMU site, outdoor spaces, such as plazas, seating areas, etc., should be integrated with site and building design to create places for people to gather. These spaces should also take advantage of adjacent park and/or open space
areas, helping integrate the uses and unifying the Village Center.

While an elementary school site is specifically located on the Village 7 Specific Plan Land Use Plan in the Village Center, public schools are permitted in any residential and park designated parcel (see General Development Plan Tables 4-1 and 4-25.)

neighborhood’s southern boundary allowing homes to face the open space preserve areas.

5. To create a permeable interface along the neighborhood’s outer boundaries, paseos may be used to extend view
corridors from the interior street network to edges along Moore Road, the Liberty Parkway Central Boulevard, and the open space system.

6. Where residential parcels are directly adjacent to park sites, homes should be oriented to the park, both through lotting patterns and building placement, such that front doors, porches, and fenestration frame the space and activate the edge.

7. Multiple different single-family detached housing types should be provided throughout the neighborhood, as provided for in Section 4.2 of this GDP. This could include a mixture of large lot homes, conventional front-loaded homes, cottage homes,
and lane loaded cluster homes.

3.3.3. Neighborhood 2
The physical design of this residential neighborhood should be guided by the following principles.

1. The development pattern of streets and
blocks should consist of a modified grid with
the roadway network responding to the
location of Moore Road and the Liberty
Parkway Central Boulevard.

2. The primary entrance into the
neighborhood from Liberty Parkwaythe
Central Boulevard should open onto, or
provide access to, a park.

3. Automobile access points should be
provided from Liberty Parkwaythe Central

corridor from the
Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1734

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 3-23

neighborhood’s edge to its interior, the paseo should be aligned with a street to create a linear, unobstructed
passageway.

5. To enhance permeability in and out of the neighborhood, lotting patterns, and corresponding home siting may utilize minor paseos to create additional view corridors and
passageways from the neighborhood’s interior to edge
roadways and open space areas.

6. The residential lotting pattern surrounding the park should be designed to facilitate homes that are oriented to the park, where entries, porches, and fenestration can create the streetscape edge that frames the park.

7. To integrate the Village Center’s HDR units with the neighborhood’s single-family detached units, both unit types should address the street, with front doors,
porches, stoops, and other elements used to
activate the edge and define the streetscape.

The interface of these residential parcels should
be along a common street that is part of the
neighborhood’s gridded street network. For
additional design principles regarding the
interface between the Village Center’s HDR units
and this neighborhood, refer to Section

3.3.A.

8. In addition to the attached residential units
that are considered part of the Village
Center, the neighborhood should
incorporate multiple different single-family
detached housing types/lot sizes, as
provided for in Section 4.2 of this GDP. This
could include a mixture of detached frontloaded homes, cluster homes, or other housing types that fit within the context of
the neighborhood’s development pattern.

9. Where HDR buildings are sited adjacent to,
or across the street from, single-family
detached homes, the size, scale, and
massing of the HDR buildings should be
compatible with the single-family housing.

9. 3.4 Mobility Plan
Consistent with the framework established in the Village 7 Specific Plan, the mobility system supports several modes of transportation choices for residents. In addition to the conventional arterial, collector, and local roadways that serve automobile travel, an extensive system of multi-use paths and open space trails are planned to create a network for pedestrian and bikeway travel.

3.4.1. Roadways
Planned roadways build upon the community design elements for mobility systems, previously outlined in Section 3.2. This includes development of arterial, collector, and local roadways, as illustrated on Figure 5.1 Roadway Plan, in the Village 7 Specific Plan.

Street Standards
The design standards for each roadway/street type identified on the Roadway Plan below are provided in Section 5.2 of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

Landscape Requirements
The street landscaping requirements for each roadway/street type are provided in Section 7.1 of the Village 7 GDP.

Bus Stops
Provisions for fixed-route and demand-responsive public transit service, including roadways to include future bus stops, are provided in Section 5.4 of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

3.4.2. Pedestrian & Bikeway Network
Consistent with the design principles for mobility systems previously outlined in Section 3.2, the pedestrian and bikeway network includes a system of multi-use paths, open space trails, and pedestrian routes.

Building upon the framework of roadways, the multi-use paths and open space trails create a comprehensive system for pedestrians and bicyclists. This pedestrian and bikeway network works to link all residential neighborhoods with one another, as well as to parks, open space areas, and the Village Center.

Pedestrian and bikeway mobility are illustrated in Figure 3-3; refer to Figure 5.16 Pedestrian Bike System in the Village 7 Specific Plan for more detail. Additional details are provided in the street design Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1747

LAND USE REGULATORY GUIDE
3-36 February APRIL 202620254 City of Lincoln
standards for each street type in Section 5 of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

Multi-Use Paths and Sidewalks
Multi-use paths are 10 feet in width and are included within linear parkways along collector streets and along Ferrari Ranch Road. Sidewalks are provided along arterial, collector, and residential roadways, these include the interconnected and continuous walkable network of sidewalks along all
neighborhood streets.

Open Space Trails
These features loop throughout the open space areas,
including the north, south, and main branches of Ingram Slough, Auburn Ravine, the North Orchard Creek Tributary, the community park, and along the southern and western open space edges of Village 7. Class I bike paths typically consist of 10 feet of pavement with a 2-foot-wide decomposed granite/ gravel shoulder on each side.

Main Pedestrian Route Design Standards
The design standards for sidewalks are provided in Section 5.2 of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

Landscape Requirements
The landscaping requirements for the linear parkways and paseos, where multi-use paths are located, is provided in Section 7.1.A of the Village 7 GDP.

3.4.3. Paseos
Paseos are enhanced landscaped areas within residential neighborhoods, which create linkages and view corridors to parks and open space areas. Paseos are to be sited strategically in residential neighborhoods to build upon the development pattern in a manner that helps create linear linkages through neighborhoods and to their edges.

As previously described in the Community Design Elements in Section

3.2, paseos are one of several green elements that can create a permeable edge to the residential neighborhoods, which enhance the pedestrian and bikeway mobility system by providing additional choices for transportation routes. Two types of paseos are provided for in the Village 7 GDP.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B

Major Paseos
Major paseos include trail corridors along open
space edges and within residential
neighborhoods. The width of these features will
vary depending on location and adjacent uses
These features vary in size with ahowever are
typically 30’ minimum in width and are
significant enough in scale to create a clearly
identifiable view corridor within a residential
neighborhood. Major paseos are typicallmay
also bey locatedsited at the terminus of streets
or at significant bends in a local roadway, to
create a linear view corridor and pedestrian/
bikeway linkage from a neighborhood’s interior
to an edge linear parkway or open space
preserve.

A concept plan for a major paseo is provided in
Figure 3-8; here; alternative designs are possible
and may be considered at time of tentative map.

Figure 3-4: Major Paseo Concept Plan
Minor Paseos
Although these features are smaller in scale than the major paseos and do not count towards the City of Lincoln General Plan open space requirement, they function in a similar manner. Typically, minor paseos are created in more compact neighborhoods, where the siting of individual homes results in linear passageways that are used to access front doors and/or garage doors. These passageways create both view corridors
and pedestrian linkages along
neighborhood edges, enhancing a
neighborhood’s overall physical and
visual linkage to adjacent roadways and
open space areas.

For housing types that include paseos,

3.5 Parks and Recreation Plan
As outlined in the Village 7 Specific Plan, parks and open space facilities provide a full range of active and passive recreational opportunities for residents. Parks are sited strategically throughout the community, with typically at least one park space provided within each neighborhood, placing these amenities in walkable distance from most homes. Several types of park and recreation facilities are planned, which include a community park, neighborhood parks, mini parks, linear parkways, and paseos. The location of these facilities is illustrated in Figure 6-1 of the Village 7 Specific Plan. Preliminary programming for each category of facility is outlined ion Table 3-2, below, which is illustrative and is not
intended to be the final program for
each park.

3.5.1. Community Park
Village 7 includes a 20.5-acre Community Park site along the western edge of the Plan Area, adjacent to Ingram Slough. The preliminary programming for this park includes facilities for both active and passive recreation. This could include active playfields for organized sports such as baseball and soccer, sports courts, pedestrian and bicycle trails, informal turf areas, seating and picnic facilities, and other amenities. The community park will be connected to the residential neighborhoods through the pedestrian and bicycle trail system.

3.5.2. Neighborhood Park
Village 7 provides several neighborhood parks throughout the community, including a park at the school site. . A range of both active and passive recreation is planned, including play areas for children, areas for organized sports, picnic areas, and flexible opportunities for small to large groups of people to gather and recreate. In addition, a portion of the site north of Ferrari Ranch Road could be used to accommodate a fire station or other public building type use for the City of Lincoln.

A portion of the school site is intended to be a joint use park and as such, receives Quimby credit. Refer to the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan, Chapter 6 Public Services Plan for more detail.

3.5.3. Mini Parks
As identified on Figure 3-18, several smaller mini parks are planned throughout the community, andcommunity and build upon the Parks and Recreation Plan provided in the Village 7 Specific Plan. These facilities are sited within residential neighborhoods to create a central public space for residents to gather, socialize, and recreate. While the individual design and programming of each park may differ, they are all intended to provide both active and passive recreation facilities, including elements such as tot lots, active ball fields, turf areas for informal play, picnicking facilities, and similar elements. In addition, each park provides connections to the pedestrian/bicycle mobility system via linear parkways and paseos.

Park locations and sizes are conceptual and subject to change; final park location, size, design, and programming will be determined by the City. For conceptual park designs, see the Village 7 Specific Plan Section 6.2.3.

3.5.4. Linear Parkways
The landscaped corridors along Ferrari Ranch Road, Liberty Parkway (formerly the Central Boulevard), Shallus Boulevard, and Moore Road will be developed as linear parkways. The Village 7 Specific Plan designates these elements as Open
Space. Linear parkways will have both
active and passive recreational value.

Depending on the location, linear
parkways vary in width and provide an
acoustical separation for residential areas,
in addition to creating a scenic edge that
reinforces Village 7’s community identity.

These corridors include multi-use paths
that provide pedestrian and bikeway
linkages to each of the residential
neighborhoods.

Conceptual plans for linear parkways are
illustrated in Section 5 of the Village 7
Specific Plan; alternative designs are also
possible and may be considered at time
of Tentative Map. Final design, planting
plans, and recreational amenities will be
determined by the City during review of
improvement plans for roadway
construction.

3.6 Natural Resources
Preservation Plan
Wetlands, and their associated hydrology,
are an important environmental
component that shapes the character
and function of Village 7. A fundamental
principle of the Village 7 Specific Plan is to
preserve and enhance the biological
value of wetland resources where
feasible.

This GDP focuses on wetland resources in
the participating planning area (see
Figure 1-2). As other planning areas are
incorporated into this GDP, the
appropriate technical studies and plans
specific to that planning area’s natural
As a part of the Project's on-going
participation with the Placer
County Conservation Plan (PCCP)
for preservation of high-quality
open space lands, and to offset
the reduced acreage of PCCPdeemed lessor quality open
space in the Aitken Ranch and
Scheiber portions of the project,
approximately 29.1 acres of
additional open space (including

9.2 acres of parkland dedication)
are provided in the Lincoln Village
5 Specific Plan Area, adjacent to
the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan
Area boundary. Portions of this
area have been re-designated
and re-zoned via separate and
concurrent Specific Plan and
General Development Plan
Amendments.

Additionally, as a component of
the Village 7 Specific Plan, a
162.0-acre offsite preserve was
established immediately west of
the plan area and north of the
City of Lincoln Wastewater
Treatment and Reclamation
Facility. The establishment of the
preserve was required to mitigate
wetland and species impacts
associated with the development
of Village 7. The preserve area is
not a part of an existing or
planned specific plan area but
contributes to the Village 7 total
open space allocation of 50.7%
which exceeds the required 40%
of allocated open space.

Refer to Lincoln Village 7 Specific
Plan Section 4.6.3 for additional
detail.

resources will be prepared and addressed.

3.6.1. Open Space Preserves
Portions of the plan area are set aside for the preservation of open space resources, including wetlands, drainages, grasslands, and riparian woodlands. To the extent permitted by the regulatory agencies, public access to the preserves may be permitted so residents may enjoy the natural environment.

Use of the open space preserves will be subject to the conditions outlined in the Operations and Management Plan (O&M Plan) prepared for the planning areas and approved by the regulatory resource agencies. (For additional information see “Preservation Guidelines” in this Section, and Section 8 of the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan.)

Wetland Features
A wetlands delineation for the planning areas will be required and will also need to be verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).

Many of the wetlands occur as isolated basins, others are associated with interconnected drainages that occur throughout the site.

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
requires that permits be obtained
from the Army Corps of Engineers for
activities associated with the
discharge of dredged or fill materials
into wetlands.

Wetland Preservation and
Compensation Program
A Village 7 goal is no net loss of
wetland functions or values, and as
such, the plan preserves large,
contiguous open space areas to
allow for the restoration of Ingram
Slough and preservation of wetlands
and other habitat within the Lewis
Property. Due to development
constraints, not all wetland features
can be feasibly avoided.

Jurisdictional wetlands will be
preserved within permanent open space. Wetland features will be unavoidably affected by the
development. The proposed
mitigation for these impacted
wetlands will be through a
combination of the following.

1. On-site wetland creation/
restoration along Ingram
Slough

2. Off-site mitigation through
purchase of habitat
credits.

Lewis Property: A USFWS Biological Opinion was issued on 11/30/17.

A wetlands delineation was verified by the Corps; the wetland delineation identified a total of 30.63 acres of waters of the United States as regulated under the Clean Water Act.

A 404 Permit issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) was issued on 11/27/18 to fill wetland features that are not avoided in Village 7’s development.

Mitigation of impacted wetlands on the property is achieved through the following.

1. Preservation of 38.6 acres of wetlands within the on-site open space preserves.

2. Purchase of 9.72 acres of wetland mitigation credits from Antonio Mountain Ranch wetland mitigation bank directly south of Lincoln Village 7.

3. Preservation of 24.2 acres of wetlands and species habitat by recording a conservation easement over 162 acres of
property to the west of Lincoln Village 7.

Lewis Property: An O&M Plan
has been prepared and
approved by the regulatory
agencies.

Principles for On-Site Preservation and Restoration
The Ingram Slough corridor encompasses a contiguous open space preserve that will protect the most significant habitats on the site.

Ingram Slough has been significantly modified over the years to convey irrigation water for agricultural purposes but has high restoration potential.

The preservation of Ingram Slough establishes a contiguous multifunctional open space corridor linking the planning area to existing open space areas along the western edge of the City of Lincoln that will achieve the following.

1. Provide improved habitat

2. Preserve watershed integrity

3. Facilitate the movement of wildlife between preserve areas

4. Provide flood control protection

5. Present opportunities for trail connections and passive recreation

6. Accommodate water quality treatment
Preservation Guidelines
The following guidelines shall be implemented to ensure that the Open Space Preserves are maintained consistentconsistently with the vision of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

1. An Operations and Management Plan (O&M Plan) for the nonparticipating planning areas will need to be adopted and approved by the regulatory agencies, which shall specify the permitted activities and features within the open space preserves, addressing at a minimum, fire/fuel modification zones, mowing activities, grading/ construction activities, pedestrian/bikeway paths, storm drainage systems (including outfall locations and the transfer of storm water to receiving waters), and other permitted and prohibited activities.

2. All wetland compensation measures approved by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers in the appropriate Section 404 Permit for each planning area shall be implemented.

3. One or more Community Facilities Districts (CFD) will be established to help fund the construction and/or acquisition of backbone infrastructure and facilities within Village 7. (See Village 7 Specific Plan Section 9.6 for details.)

maintenance, management, and policing of the open space preserves. The design and location of the pathway system shall be consistent with any approved O&M Plan.

5. Irrigation systems in developed areas adjacent to the open space preserves shall be designed so that no direct untreated irrigation water reaches any portion of the Preserve. As permitted by State and Federal regulatory agencies and as outlined in an applicable O&M Plan, non-point source sheet flow from adjacent land uses will be allowed to pass through designated areas as a means of water quality treatment prior to discharge in the drainage channels.

6. Areas within the open space preserves that were disturbed through permitted construction activities shall be re-planted with native vegetation.

7. Development adjacent to the open space preserves, or any activity within them, shall comply with the mitigation measures outlined in the Village 7 Specific Plan Project EIR.

3.7 Public Services Development
Development within Village 7 is subject to policies set forth in the Public Services and Facilities Element of the General Plan, as well as Section 6, Public Services, of the Village 7 Specific Plan. At full buildout, Village 7 provides 100% of all park facilities needed to serve its residents, as well as an elementary school site for new students generated through the development of the community. Public services with respect to Police, Fire, and Library facilities, will be provided by the City of Lincoln.

3.8 Utilities Development
Development within Village 7 is subject to policies set forth in the Public Services and Facilities Element of the General Plan, as well as Section 7, Utilities, of the Village 7 Specific Plan. The Specific Plan provides a comprehensive utilities plan for the services needed to support the buildout of the project’s envisioned land uses. For water, reclaimed water, wastewater, drainage, dry utilities, and solid waste, the Village 7 Specific Plan describes all existing facilities, anticipated demand for new or expanded facilities, and the nature and location of all proposed facilities.

In addition, the Village 7 GDP includes a Phasing Plan (in Section 8) that illustrates the sequencing for the construction of utilities.

4.1 Overview
This section provides Village 7’s essential zoning regulations, outlining the permitted uses and development standards for residential, commercial, park, and open space parcels. These regulations provide specific standards for future development projects and are crafted in a manner that responds to the design principles in the Land Use Regulatory Guide (Section 3). The intent is to provide a clear and concise set of regulations that builders, property owners, and City staff can use to implement the Village 7 GDP.

4.1.1 Relationship to Zoning Ordinance
A Planned Development (PD) zoning designation is applied to parcels that have City-approved entitlements for development. Pursuant to the City’s Zoning Ordinance, this allows the uses and standards to be defined by this General Development Plan. To that
end, this section builds upon the City’s Zoning
Ordinance and provides a comprehensive set of
development regulations for the planning areas
subject to this GDP.

The development regulations herein have a greater
level of detail, and provide for a higher degree of
implementation flexibility, than the City’s Zoning
Ordinance. Therefore, as specified in this section for
each use type, the GDP’s standards are intended
to replace the City’s Zoning Ordinance and serve
as the zoning regulations for Village 7. Recognizing
that the GDP’s standards are not all-inclusive, where this document is silent, the City’s Zoning Ordinance shall prevail. Where appropriate for the various use types outlined in this section, references are provided for applicable sections of the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

4.1.2 Implementation Philosophy
A certain level of flexibility and creativity is envisioned for the implementation of the development standards provided in this section. Given the dynamic nature of potential uses and the continually evolving types of housing products and buildings, a “one size fits all” design approach is not desirable or practical for the development. Such an approach would curtail the creativity needed to meet the community design principles outlined in the Land Use Regulatory Guide.

To this end, the development standards outlined in this section are to be applied in close coordination with the community design elements in Section 3 and the design guidelines in Sections 5 and 6. Where the development standards provide minimum criteria for each development (setbacks, building height, lot coverage, etc.), these other sections provide a specific design guidance to ensure that a high-quality community, consistent with the overarching Specific Plan vision, will be developed through implementation of this GDP.

4.2 Residential Development
Several residential village neighborhoods are geographically defined within Village 7, with each anchored by a village green that provides a central park space for residents. Four residential land use designations are specified in the Village 7 GDP:

1. Village Country Estates (VCE)

1.0 to 2.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac)

2. Village Low Density Residential (VLDR)

3.0 to 5.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac)
(Except as noted herein and in the Lincoln Village 7
Specific Plan for Flex Designated Parcels)

3. Village Medium Density Residential (VMDR)

6.0 to 12.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac)

4. Village Medium High Density Residential (VMHDR)

6.0 to 18.0 dwelling units per acre (du/ac)
(Except as noted herein and in the Lincoln Village 7
Specific Plan for Flex Designated Parcels)

4.5. Village High Density Residential (VHDR)

Attachment 10 Exhibit B

PERMITTED USES & DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
City of Lincoln February APRIL 202620254 4-5
Consistent with the Land Use Regulatory Guide, the residential development standards are structured to create neighborhoods that emphasize enhanced streetscapes, variable front yard setbacks, and alternative garage orientation options, including the use of rearaccess garage lanes. This will provide for a mix of new and traditional housing types including small-lot single family homes, innovative attached and detached medium-density housing products, and higher density multi-family homes.

The development standards are modeled after a form-based zoning code and are closely integrated with the Land Use Regulatory Guide in Section 3. Together, these standards direct the physical form of the residential neighborhoods by guiding both neighborhood design and home design, and how the edge between the public and private realms is defined. The standards and guidelines include provisions that direct living spaces to the street, garages to the rear, and encourage porches and other architectural elements that will activate the relationship between the public and private spaces.

4.2 1 Permitted Uses for Residential Parcels
As noted in the table below, the following uses shall be permitted or conditionally permitted on residential parcels subject to this GDP. Uses not specifically permitted but allowed in equivalent residential districts elsewhere in the City of Lincoln, may be allowed at the discretion of the Community Development Director, provided the use is consistent with the intent and purpose of this GDP and is compatible with adjacent land uses

4.2.2 Residential Development Standards
The following development standards provide for the development of singlefamily homes. They can be applied to Village Country Estate, Village LowDensity, Village Medium-Density, Village Medium High-Density, and Village High-Density Residential areas, provided that the resulting gross density of each large lot parcel is consistent with its applied land use designation.

Housing prototypes are also provided to support these standards to illustrate the types of housing products that should be permitted through the flexible application of these standards.

Where VHDR is developed in VLDR and/or VMDR designations, applicable VHDR Development Standards and permitted uses shall apply relative to the desired development/product type.

4.5 Agricultural Overlay Zone
On September 28, 221, the Lincoln City Council passed and adopted Ordinance 1041B allowing for the continuation of
agricultural uses and support agricultural uses
within the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan Area. The
language from that Ordinance is provided below.

4.5.1 Agricultural Overlay (AO)
The Agricultural Overlay Zone allows for the continuation of agricultural uses and agricultural support uses as defined herein. The AO Zone is superimposed over the urban zoning assigned by the Village 7 Specific Plan Land Use Diagram, shown on Figure 1.2. The AO Zone is applied to the entirety of the Village 7 Plan Area. Any use not listed as allowed in the AO Zone pursuant to

4.5.3 but that is existing and allowed at the time of annexation of the property, may continue as a-conforming use pursuant to Section

4.5.3(H) Conforming Uses.

It is the intent of the Village 7 General Development Plan to allow agricultural uses existing at the time of annexation to continue, on an interim basis or in perpetuity, concurrent with development of the Specific Plan land uses by requiring buffers on the adjacent developing Zoned Parcels. Buffer requirements for properties which pursue development in accordance with the Specific Plan and which abut agricultural activity, operation or facility are addressed in the Development Standards of each applicable zone. The buffers apply to all property boundaries of the Zoned Parcel where the parcel abuts an existing agricultural activity, operation or facility within the Plan Area. In addition, all Zoned Parcels abutting an existing agricultural activity, operation or facility shall provide notice, disclosure and acknowledgement to all non-agricultural uses of the subject land that they may be subject to inconveniences or discomforts from the pursuit of those adjacent agricultural operations.

The AO Zone establishes land development requirements for any "new" agricultural and rural residential uses within the AO Zone after annexation by the City. The permitted uses for "new" uses in the AO Zone are listed in Section 4.5.3 Section 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 establish separation standards for animal keeping and crops associated with new uses which are located adjacent to Zoned Parcels, however these standards shall not apply to new uses being located adjacent to an existing agricultural use. Table 4.23 provides the development standards for new uses in the AO Zone. Where a use is not specifically contemplated by these AO Zone standards, the underlying urban zoning regulations as defined by the Specific Plan shall apply. No development can occur on lands subject to the Williamson Act, except to the extent allowed by the applicable Williamson Act Attachment 10 Exhibit B

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
February APRIL
202620254

5.1 Overview
This section contains the design guidelines for the residential neighborhoods and builds upon the Land Use Regulatory Guide in Section 3. Where Section 3 of this General Development Plan focuses on the physical design of neighborhoods, these guidelines focus on the design of homes within them. It provides guidance for home siting and orientation, design quality, and architectural style characteristics.

These guidelines are organized into the following sub-sections. 1 Home Siting, Orientation, and Design Variation
2 Residential Design Elements
3 Architectural Style Characteristics
The Residential Design Guidelines are to be applied in conjunction with the residential development standards in Section 4. Together, these sections provide the regulatory framework and design guidance necessary to create residential neighborhoods that are consistent with the design principles outlined in the Regulatory Guide.

The guidelines are not to be applied as strict standards. Instead, they should be interpreted with flexibility, recognizing that a modern implementation of the traditional design elements outlined in this section is anticipated. This will allow home designs to respond to market conditions, development patterns, and/or new information that was not available when this GDP was approved by the City. While flexibility is needed, proper implementation of these guidelines, in tandem with the Regulatory Guide and Development Standards in Sections 3 and 4, is important to create neighborhoods that achieve the vision for the community.

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES

5.2 Siting, Orientation & Design Variation Guidelines
Porches and other visual cues
instinctively separate the public
and private realm.

Lane loaded homes “front” on to
residential streets to engage the
public realm and include rear
lanes with through-access for
automobiles.

Garage lanes open on to
adjacent residential streets
providing view corridors through
neighborhoods.

5.2 Siting, Orientation & Design Variation Guidelines
Where the Land Use Regulatory Guide provides design principles for each neighborhood’s development pattern, including the creation of lots and blocks, this sub-section provides the guidelines for the siting and orientation of homes on each lot, as well as the variety of architectural expressions expected of each neighborhood. This is important to ensure that homes will appropriately address the street and define the edge of the public realm and will have sufficient variety in design and character to create a traditional, “built over time” appearance.

The following guidelines should be used to direct the plotting, layout, orientation, and dispersion of home designs within each village residential neighborhood:

5.2.1 Site Planning & Home Orientation
1 Residential lots should be designed to allow for home designs with indoor and outdoor living spaces oriented to the street, which de- emphasize the appearance of garages, such that the active spaces of a home are engaged with the streetscape. 2 Porches, low fences or walls, landscaping, or other features should be incorporated into home design in order to create a visual distinction between the public and private realm. 3 As provided for in the Regulatory Guide, where homes are located along a neighborhood edge street, where privacy, security and/or noise attenuation are not concerns, homes should “front” on to these streets rather than back up to them.

These homes should have architectural elements such as doors, windows, and porches that are visually engaged with the public realm.
4 Homes should include design features, such as front doors, fenestration, and porches that are oriented to the front/street side of the home, to promote “eyes on the street”
neighborhood watch.
5 As provided for in Section 5.3, homes located on corner lots or along neighborhood edge streets (such as the cCentral
bBoulevard) should have enhanced architectural treatments on elevations facing a public street.
6 Where live-end cul-de-sacs or garage lanes terminate adjacent to a neighborhood edge street (such as the cCentral
bBoulevard), homes should be plotted such that the cul-desac/garage lane creates a view corridor from the edge street into the neighborhood. In these instances, the homes located at the end of a cul-de-sac or garage lane should incorporate design elements (front doors, porches, fenestration) that front on to the collector street and engage the public realm.

5.2.2 Design Variation
1 The collection of homes in each village residential
neighborhood should incorporate several architectural
expressions, using a variety of floor plans, building forms, roof designs, materials, colors, garage orientations, outdoor living spaces, and architectural detailing.
2 Homes should be plotted in a manner that disperses a variety of home designs on each block, which collectively,collectively create variety in scale and massing along the streetscape. 3 Each neighborhood shall have a minimum of three floor plans for each single-family housing type and include a minimum of three exterior elevations for each floor plan.
4 No more than two dwelling units with the same floor plan shall be plotted adjacent to one another along a street frontage.

Where this plotting condition occurs, the floor plans should be reversed and each home should have a different exterior design, unique with respect to its elevation, roof forms, detailing, and color scheme.

A variety of home designs and
architectural expressions create
an interesting streetscape and

5.3 Residential Design Elements
The design guidelines in this sub-section articulate the architectural quality expected of homes constructed in the community. Regardless of each home’s architectural stye, there are several important elements that should be considered in home design, which include building massing, roof forms, entries, windows, and exterior finishes.

The intent of this guidance is to ensure that home design helps build the community’s sense of identity, provides visually interesting streetscapes, and prevents the resulting neighborhood from appearing monotonous and sterile. By engaging living spaces with the public street, carefully siting and orienting garages, and encouraging a variety of architectural details and exterior finishes, the backdrop of homes that visually define the public realm of each neighborhood will create a sense of permanence and establish a strong community identity.

The design elements addressed in this section should be used to guide the design of single and multi-family homes. The guidelines should be interpreted with flexibility, allowing home design to respond to the context of the surrounding neighborhood, lot sizes, and applicable development standards. Also, the guidelines should be used in a manner that allows individual home design to adapt to the style characteristics provided in Section 5.4. A variety of home designs and architectural expressions create an interesting streetscape and edge to the public realm.

5.3.1 Scale, Massing, and Façade Articulation
Encouraged The proper design of a home’s physical form, its massing and scale, is essential in creating neighborhoods that have a high-quality appearance. To ensure that homes possess a strong foundation for good design, several basic elements should be employed to ensure that the overall form, scale, and appearance of homes in each neighborhood create an environment that is comfortable for residents to walk, bike, and recreate. To achieve this intent, the following guidelines should be employed.

Breaking up the form and massing of
homes with variations in building height,
bulk, shape, and footprint, with offset wall
planes on each façade. Two-story homes
should incorporate one- story elements
along the front street-side and rear
facades to break up massing and provide
visual relief. Also, see Corner Lot
Guidelines on pg. 5-6.

Articulating building mass with a variety of building
orientations, roof forms, and one-story elements.

Providing stylistic diversity using a mix of plan forms and elevations, and a variety of exterior finish materials. See Section 5.2 for additional guidelines regarding creating architectural variety through each residential
neighborhood.

Integrating a combination of single and
multiple-story elements into each
neighborhood to create a varied
streetscape skyline.

Using massing techniques that create a
series of “building blocks” such that each
home’s outer form has a complex and
interesting shape.

5.3.2 Corner Lots and Neighborhood Perimeter Edges
Encouraged The architectural treatment of homes located on corner lots and neighborhood edges requires special consideration to ensure that the visual character of the neighborhood is upheld. Wherever the facade of a home fronts along a street, its appearance influences the visual character of the streetscape. Therefore, any street-facing facade of a home located on a corner lot or neighborhood perimeter street should be treated as a primary facade that incorporates enhanced architectural treatments. For these conditions, the following guidelines should be used to direct home design.

Adding enhanced architectural elements to any
home elevation that faces the street including the
following.

A variety of window treatments including, but not
limited to, window surrounds, trim, and multi-paned
glass.

A variety of hipped and gabled roof forms.

Exterior façade details such as accent materials,
color juxtaposition, and other architectural
elements appropriate to a home’s individual
style; and
Changes in wall planes between first and second
floors (as appropriate).

Enhancing corner lot units so that the elevations
facing the street are treated as primary elevations.

This includes articulated building mass, wrap around
porches, single story elements, and detail elements
specific to the architectural style of the home.

Making home plans easily
adaptable to include
elements such as wraparound
porches, bay windows, or popoutside gables.

5.3.3 Roof Forms
Encouraged
Roof forms are important elements of both home and neighborhood design and should have a high-quality appearance and provide variety along neighborhood streetscapes.

Careful consideration must be given to roof lines, ridge heights, roof forms, materials, and colors. To accomplish this intent, the following guidelines should be employed.

Varying roof forms within each neighborhood, specific to each home’s architectural style, with changes in massing, pitch, and direction.

Using distinctive roof materials and colors on each home, that collectively create enough variety and avoids creating
monotone-colored appearance along the street’s skyline.

Ensuring that all elements of roof design are appropriate to a home’s architectural style, with several different roof forms, planes, ridge heights, design features (gables, hips, dormers, etc.) that break up the mass of the roof and add to the home’s architectural quality
Varying the height of ridgelines and facias.

Using roof materials with substantial, three- dimensional definition and create deep shadow lines along the roof plane.

Specifying roof colors that are harmonious with the
color palette of each house.

5.3.4 Entries
Encouraged A home’s primary entrance is an important element that influences the character of a neighborhood streetscape. It visually activates a home and engages it with the public realm. As such, a home’s primary entrance, its “front door,” should be articulated as the main focal element of its street-facing elevation. This is achieved through the appropriate use of several design elements, which are outlined below and should be used to guide the design and orientation of each home’s entry.

Using roof elements, columns, porticos,
recesses or projections, windows or
other architectural features that
“announce” a home’s primary
entrance.

Articulating entryways with porches or
courtyards, where design is
appropriate.

Orienting entryways to the
front/street side
of the house, and side street on
corner units.

5.3.5 Porches and Balconies
Encouraged Porches and balconies add a visually-pleasing, pedestrian-scaled element to a streetscape edge, which brings outdoor living spaces to the front yard and promotes social interaction among neighborhood residents. These features also provide visual relief to the building mass.

As such, porches and balconies are encouraged to promote social activity within the neighborhoods. When porches are incorporated into home design, these guidelines should be followed.

Covering porches with distinct roof forms that
articulate the massing of the house, and
utilizing wrap-around porches on corner lots, or
lots adjacent to open areas.

Raising porches a minimum of 2-feet from the
adjacent sidewalk elevation to create a visual
separation between the public and private
realm, and to provide a sense of security for
homeowners.

Designing porches as an integral element of
the building, with details, eaves, supports, and
railings that are harmonious with the
architecture of the home.

Designing porches to be at least 6’-deep and
10’-wide so there is sufficient area for outdoor
furniture.

5.3.6 Window Treatments
Encouraged Window location is determined both by the practical considerations of interior views and privacy, as well as exterior home design. To ensure that windows have a high-quality architectural appearance, the following guidelines should be implemented.

Including decorative trim elements on windows
located on the sides and rear of homes,
especially on elevations that face neighborhood
edge streets and open space areas.

Adding trim elements that are appropriate to the
architecture of the home and that enhance its
appearance and provide shadow relief along each
building elevation, including the following.

Decorative or bracketed window heads.

Full trim surrounds.

Fabric awnings or awning shutters;
Decorative shutters.

Detailed sill plates; or
Window boxes and flowerpot shelves.

Utilizing glass with no glazing (clear), or with lightly tinted, non-reflective glazing.

5.3.7 Materials, Colors, and Exterior Finishes
Encouraged The composition of a home’s colors and materials heavily influences its architectural quality and character. At a neighborhood level, a collection of homes that each possess a well-composed palette of materials and colors, helps generate a timeless appearance, adds diversity to the streetscape and establishes its character and identity. To help direct proper color and material composition, the following guidelines should be employed.

Adding accent materials such as brick, wood siding, or stone to punctuate important architectural forms, such as
entryways, balconies, support columns, or porches.

Utilizing material changes in a logical and aestheticallypleasing manner and that occur at reverse corners or return on a sidewall towards the privacy fence. Unless a material is being used to create a column effect, the side-wall return shall be no less than 4-feet.

Creating color schemes that visually articulate a home’s exterior form and that highlight architectural features such as porches, support posts, fascia,
trim, and other detail elements.

5.3.8 Garage Design and Orientation
Encouraged The prominence of garages along residential streets are a component that can affect the overall scale, appearance, and walkability of a neighborhood. To ensure that garages are incorporated into the design of each home and do not dominate the streetscape, the following guidelines should be implemented.

Varying garage placement in a neighborhood to reduce the visual prominence of garage doors along the streetscape.

Reducing the visual impact of a doublewide garage by using two single doors, in lieu of one single door.

Using garage doors that have a unique window design
and/or color scheme that is appropriate to a home’s
architectural style.

Reducing the prominence of three-car garage configurations by utilizing off-set and/or separated bays, or tandem garage configurations.

Prevent side-entry/swing-in garages from becoming a focal point along the streetscape by using architectural elements such as windows or flower boxes, on the side wall facing the street.

Creating shadow lines and dimensional relief by using garage doors that incorporate raised panels with a wood-like exterior finish and appearance.

Articulating the garage door plane with treatments
such as trellises, Porte cochere, brackets, or

Recessed Garage
Located at least 5 ft. behind the front elevation/living space or porch projection, with setback variations ranging from 5 ft. to 10 ft.

Corner Lot with Side-Street Entry Garage
Garage entry occurs from a side street, thereby eliminating the garage and driveway from the front face of the house.

Forward Swing-In Garage or Split Garages
Located at the front, side, or rear of a plan to reduce garage door’s prominence on the streetscape. A minimum of 25 ft. between the garage door and the side property line is needed to accommodate back-up space.

Alley-Loaded Garage
Accessed from a rear or side alley to eliminate driveway cuts along the front street.

Detached Garage
Located toward the rear of the lot behind the primary structure.

Not Permitted

5.3.9 Utilities and Storage Areas
The design of each neighborhood should give careful consideration for the placement of utilities, equipment boxes, solid waste receptacles, and other infrastructure-related facilities. This is particularly important in neighborhoods with mcompact development forms, such as small-lot single-family homes or attached townhomes and apartments. The overall intent of these guidelines is to provide design direction for the placement, orientation, and screening of utilities and related facilities to ensure that they are screened from public view and integrated into the design of a residential neighborhood to the best extent possible. With proper attention, these facilities can be unnoticeable elements of a neighborhood versus visually prominent fixtures of the public realm. The following guidelines should be used for air conditioning units, solid waste receptacles, and utility boxes and equipment.

Air Conditioning Condenser Units
1 Air conditioning condenser units (AC units) should be screened from view with a combination of fencing, walls, and/or
landscaping. For single-family detached homes, AC units should be in fenced, side or rear yard areas that screen them from off-site view. For compact and/or attached housing types, where limited or no private yard space is provided, AC units should be located adjacent to buildings and banked where possible within single enclosures.
2 Screening of AC units should not interfere with the air circulation requirements of the units and should not inhibit access for unit maintenance.
3 AC units should be located away from building entrances or private outdoor spaces, such as porches and patios.
4 Where feasible for the housing type, AC units should be located on roof tops within equipment wells, or behind parapets or roof ridges, where the equipment can be fully screened from
ground-level view.

Solid Waste Receptacles
1 For neighborhoods where individual toters will be used for solid waste, recycling, and/or green waste, toters shall be located within a fenced yard or an enclosure that screens them from view along a public street or garage lane. Acceptable
locations include the interior of a garage (provided it does not conflict with the required clear space for parking), within a fenced rear/side yard, or within a separate enclosure that screens them from off-site view.
2 For neighborhoods or multi-family developments where
common- use solid waste receptacles are used, each
receptacle (or grouping of) shall be located within a trash enclosure that fully screens it from view.

3 The design of trash enclosures should consist of a solid fence or wall, with gate, that matches the style, color, and material of the adjacent building and incorporates landscape
screening and plantings such as shrubs and vines.
4 Trash enclosures should be easily accessible for service trucks, with access provided from secondary streets or
garage lanes.
5 Trash enclosures should not be located near pedestrian traffic and gathering areas within a neighborhood or multifamily development, such as entries and plazas.

Utility Boxes and Equipment
1 In neighborhoods with compact housing types, including attached homes and apartments, utility boxes (gas meters, water meters, electric meters, etc.) should be banked or clustered together.
2 Utility meters and other equipment should be screened from view with landscaping or screen walls, or should be located within an enclosure or equipment room that screens them from view.
3 Where utilities cannot be fully screened from view, they should be located in landscape planters (not flat turf/groundcover areas) and painted to blend in with adjacent surfaces. For instance, wall-mounted equipment such as electric and gas meters should be painted to match the adjacent building color, and surface-mounted equipment such as transformers and backflow prevention valves should be painted dark green or black to blend in with the landscaping.
4 Components of the neighborhood’s infrastructure and utilities, such as electrical transformers, cable/telephone utility boxes, backflow preventers, etc., should be oriented away from public view and should be sited next to buildings or in landscaped areas behind the back of sidewalks, where they can be screened. In addition, these facilities should not be placed in prominent view corridors, such as at street corners or paseos, where they are prominent in the public view or create visual blockages to key pedestrian linkages within a
neighborhood.
5 To the extent possible and allowable by utility companies, electrical transformers, cable/telephone utility boxes, backflow preventers, and other infrastructure-related components should be screened with evergreen landscaping or placed in an enclosure.
6 Where utilities are located on the roof of a building, they should be located within roof wells or screened from groundlevel view by screen walls that are integrated into the building and roof design. In these instances, equipment screening should not appear to be added or “tacked on” to the roof or building and should utilize materials, colors, and exterior finishes that are integral to the architectural design of the building.

ENCOURAGED: Gas meters
banked and located within an
enclosure.

ENCOURAGED: Utility meters
painted to match building color.

NOT PERMITTED: Gas meters not

shall clearly define entrance points to the site.

4. Buildings should be sited to provide functional
outdoor spaces that enhance opportunities with
adjacent open space and park areas.

6.21.2 Scale, Massing, and Façade Articulation
Encouraged: To ensure that buildings have an interesting form that will facilitate the creation of a pedestrian- scaled, walkable environment, the following guidelines should be employed.

1. Building frontages and sides of buildings oriented to the street or other public areas should incorporate a
combination of roof lines, building projections and
recesses, arcades, a variety of pedestrian level display windows, and trim or belt courses.

2. The wall height, cornice, or parapet line between buildings should be coordinated.

3. Buildings with walls over 50 feet in length shall be visually divided into smaller parts to reduce overall bulk. The apparent mass of a building may be reduced by variations in roof form and
parapet heights, changes in wall planes, ground level arcades, recessed entries, vertical accents, pronounced
projections, changes in texture and color of wall
surfaces, landscape planter areas, and recessed
windows with multi-panel treatments.

4. Buildings should incorporate design techniques that
reduce their perceived height by dividing the building
mass into smaller scale components. One way to
achieve this breakdown is to provide a well-defined
base, middle and top to the building:

5. A solid building base may be achieved by
elements such as low planters and walls, base
planting, a base architectural veneer banding and
treatments defined by a different material, texture,
or color.

6. A well-defined building top may be achieved by using features such as distinct and multiple architectural roof forms, clearly pronounced eaves, and distinct parapet
designs and cornice treatments.

7. Other approaches and methods of establishing
building definition exist and will be considered if the resulting design achieves a sense scale and character
consistent with the surrounding context.

6-6 FebruaryAPRIL 2026 2025August 2023 City of Lincoln

8. Towers and taller building heights,
rounded or cut corners, special window
display areas, plazas and other elements
are strongly encouraged at corner
locations to define the space as an
important location.

9. Buildings with flat roofs should have
pitched roof elements or other
integrated architectural features,
extended parapets, or projecting
cornices in order to create a prominent
edge when viewed.

10. Courtyards, patios, covered
walkways, trellises, and enclosed gardens
are encouraged to facilitate pedestrian use and create
opportunities for conjunctive uses with adjacent park and open space areas.

11. Architectural projections such as overhangs, detail elements, columns, awnings, or other architectural
features that create a change in wall plane, should be
provided along large wall expanses, especially along
public streets.

12. Rear and side facades that are visible from public
streets or neighboring properties shall be carefully
designed with detailing like the front façade. Although the architectural treatment may be simplified and vary
according to function, all elevations should remain
consistent through style, use of materials, colors, and details.

13. Site walls and screen
walls shall be architecturally
integrated with the building.

6.21.3 Colors and Materials
Encouraged The exterior finish of all non-residential buildings should complement the overall character of the community by utilizing the following techniques.

1. A diverse palette of materials and
colors on the wall planes, roofs, and
ground plane is required to visually
articulate the bulk and mass of a
building.

2. Building colors should be mainly
subtle, neutral, or muted earth tones.

3. Material or color changes should
occur at a change of plan, and
specifically at “inside” corners.

Piecemeal embellishments and
frequent changes in materials and/or
colors should be avoided.

4. Color variation using compatible hues
should be used to reduce the apparent
scale and building mass of large
buildings.

5. Stains and flat paints are
encouraged. High gloss paints and
other materials that are highly reflective
are discouraged.

6. Stripes or bands of highly contrasting or
vibrant colors that are not compatible
with the style of architecture should not
be used.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1866
6-8 FebruaryAPRIL 2026 2025August 2023 City of Lincoln

7. Details and ornamentation may be of precast stone, concrete or synthetic materials, metal, wood, masonry, tile, and glass. The
choice of materials should be governed by
the style as well as its location and proximity
to the pedestrian corridors.

8. Finish materials shall be appropriate in their
use and application and be durable and of
high quality. Basic wall materials include
stucco, masonry (brick and stone), siding
(wood, synthetic wood composites), metal
and cast concrete or synthetic-concrete
composites.

9. Roof materials may be of a built- up or
membrane type at parapet conditions,
and concrete tile or metal roof (flat,
standing seam, or corrugated) at roof
pitches 3:12 or greater.

10. All vents, gutters, downspouts, flashing, and similar shall be painted to match the color of the adjacent
surface.

11. Reflective, colored, and tinted glass should be
avoided, and only clear, transparent windows shall be
used on ground floor elevations.

6.21.4 Parking, Service, Storage, and Refuse Buffers
Encouraged The following techniques shall be utilized to screen visual impacts of parking, service, storage, loading, and refuse areas from public view.

1. Service and maintenance areas, storage, loading docks, mechanical equipment, trash facilities, and refuse bins shall be located away and/or screened from public view,
including streets, major pedestrian areas, open space areas, parks and school uses. Such areas and facilities should be in low visibility areas that are accessible to service collectors and shall be screened from the view with walls and
landscaping. Trash collection, service and loading areas should be separated from main circulation and parking
areas.

2. Service and refuse areas of nearby buildings should be clustered together when possible.

3. If applicable, shopping carts should be stored within the building or in a screened enclosure with a wall that is integral to the architectural design of the adjoining building.

4. Trash enclosures should be
located away from pedestrian
traffic and gathering areas such
as project entries and plazas.

Common use refuse and recycling
containers shall be fully enclosed
by a solid fence or wall and
gate that match the style, color,
and materials of the adjacent
building. These elements should
incorporate landscape screening
planting such as shrubs and
vines.

7.1 Community Theming

7.1.1 Streetscape Plan
The Landscape Design Guidelines are assembled for the purpose of intelligently and cooperatively guiding the physical implementation of the Specific Plan, as well as to create a distinctive character and quality image for Village 7. Furthermore, these guidelines are provided to serve as an outline for the community’s overall theme and character, and to provide uniform standards for development in compliance with General Plan policies OSC 3-2, 3-9, and 3-10.

The guidelines are intended to encourage creativity in solutions to specific design opportunities. However, to meet the overall objectives of the Specific Plan, certain standards must be met in the General Development Plan. The guidelines provide detailed performance criteria and standards to be considered by City Staff, Design Review Committees, Planning Commission, and/or City Council in the review of the individual developments within the community. Where the provisions of the design guidelines are more restrictive than the zoning ordinance, the General Development Plan shall govern development.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1870

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
City of Lincoln 7-3 February APRIL 202620254
The levels of development, which together provide for the total community experience, include the following.

Private development parcels, including acreage established for single-family and multi-family residential housing and commercial use areas.

Public and Quasi-public development parcels including acreage established for open space, landscape corridors, and public parks.

Specialty components include street tree selection, lighting, decorative paving, decorative walls, fencing, street intersection treatments, vehicular and pedestrian entries, monuments and iconographic signage. These specialty features are the most important elements in establishing a community ‘signature’, and as such will be dispersed throughout Village 7 as illustrated in this section.

The design theme for the Village 7 community is focused on the rural and agrarian heritage of the area, but with a strong emphasis on Contemporary Californian architectural elements that are common to the cultural legacy of Lincoln.

As a design style, “Contemporary Rustic Californian” employs a mix of historical architectural influences, which defines it as a uniquely Californian design style. This is achieved using natural materials such as stone and wood, manmade materials such as brick, architectural elements in earthen tones and detailing that includes metal work for lighting and community furnishings.

With great emphasis on the importance of open space as an integral theme of the Village 7 community, a plant palette and a design scheme has been developed that celebrates both the natural environment and the farming heritage of Lincoln and the surrounding area.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1871

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
February APRIL 202620254
Distinctive community design elements and required components are as follows.

Clay oriented products are responsible for providing some of the most enduring architectural decorative elements in California, and as such, the built elements of Village 7 including pilasters, monuments, and sign walls, will reflect this heritage. Brick colors will be Spanish Moss with dark accents. A hierarchy of signs, monuments and iconographic design elements follows in the proceeding section.
1 Elements traditionally constructed of wood such as arbors and lattice screens should be constructed out of wood-textured metal for durability and ease of maintenance. Finish colors shall be earthen tones of dark brown and ochre with lighter accent colors for emphasis and contrast.
2 Stucco finishes may be incorporated as an accent material in colors illustrated in the preceding section.
3 A palette of plants with an emphasis on color, texture, and layered forms to add a distinctive richness to the landscape has been selected. Any landscape design for parcels, street sections or parks and open space areas should be appropriate for the local climate and soil conditions, harmonize with the native vegetation, and provide an appropriate transition between the formal landscaping in developed areas and the natural character of the open space areas.
4 Plant materials should consist of an appropriate mixture of deciduous and evergreen species, where visual screening is specifically intended.

Parking lots subject to shade requirements should be planted with deciduous trees only. Where year-round screening is required, a limited number of deciduous species shall be used.
5 The rate and growth and the ultimate size of all plant materials should be considered in all landscape designs. Plant materials should be selected and positioned to minimize interference with pedestrian and vehicle movement. Also, plant materials should avoid blockage of signs, buildings, and street lighting.
6 In all planting areas a mixture of shrubs, groundcover and/ or mulch should be installed to provide full coverage of soil areas. A variety of complimentary plant materials are encouraged to achieve a richness of texture, shape, and color to reinforce the landscape concept for the community.
7 Planting areas, except for groundcover planting and turf areas should receive a minimum of three (3) inches of walk-on shredded bark mulch.

Fibrous (gorilla hair) mulch, crushed colored marble or other aggregates, other than decomposed granite, are prohibited.
8 While drought tolerant species are encouraged all planted areas shall be irrigated with an automatic sprinkler system or drip system. Open space areas that are restored or replanted may receive irrigation that is temporary in nature and to be removed at plant establishment. Sprinkler heads shall be selected and placed to minimize damage from pedestrian and vehicle movement. Head-to-head coverage shall be achieved in all applications
9 All irrigation and landscaping shall conform to City of Lincoln’s Water Conservation Ordinance contained in Chapter 15.28 of the Municipal Code, as well as California Assembly Bill 1881 and AB 1420 which promotes and enforces water use and conservation practices.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
City of Lincoln 7-5 February APRIL 202620254
Master Street Tree Plan
The planting approach for the community incorporates a hierarchy of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that are intended to evoke a rural landscape setting. Along street edges, the landscape architecture creates a formal setting, with linear rows of street trees and groundcovers. Beyond the street edges, in the linear parkways that separate the major roadways from the developed areas, the landscape architecture creates a less formal, rural setting with trees planted in clusters or small groves, and groundcover and shrub treatments that create a casual backdrop to the urban street edge.

Along the site’s edges, and along Open Space preserve interfaces, the landscape design approach mimics the site’s existing setting, with natural plant species that create a visual transition from the formally developed environment.

The master plant palette specifies several plant materials that vary in species, height, color, and density. Fire-resistant plant species should be used sparingly adjacent to open space areas and roadways. Low growing shrub vegetation and fire-resistant broadleaf deciduous trees should be utilized instead. Consistent utilization of the palette will create a strong, unified landscape framework that helps define the community’s sense of place.

To create the desired unified landscape theme throughout Village 7, this section contains plant palettes for trees, shrubs/vines, and groundcovers that should be used for landscape plans for any public spaces, including street edges, linear parkways, and parks/mini parks.

7.1.2 Gateways and Entry Features
Gateways and entrance features are to be visually prominent elements of the public realm that, through thematically consistent design elements, define the character of Village 7. Sited at key locations throughout the community, these features will utilize a common palette of plant materials, hardscape elements, project icons, and accent materials that reinforce Village 7’s character and sense of place. A hierarchy has been developed for primary and secondary/ neighborhood entry features, each of which is designed to have a different level of visual emphasis, depending on each feature’s purpose and location.

The different types of gateway/entry features, including siting and application within Village 7, are outlined as follows.

Figure 7-2: Entry Monument Elevation

7.1.3 Primary Community Entry
Ferrari Ranch Road / Liberty Parkway Central Boulevard
The most significant gateways in the community are located along the Liberty Parkway Central Boulevard, at the southern and northern sides of its intersection with Ferrari Ranch Road. As the primary entrances into the community, these gateways have an enhanced design that creates a significant sense of entry. As a major points of arrival, these gateways visually establish the hardscape and landscape theme for the entire community. These entry features are intended to align with the Type 1 Major Project Identification Signage outlined in Section 7.2.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B

Primary Community Entry Key Characteristics
1 Larger-scale monuments framing the intersection of the roadway forming a large plaza entry to the community. These primary monuments are relatively grand in scale and are meant to reinforce the sense of arrival while providing a great pedestrian experience. Bench seating and pedestrian scale lighting shall be installed to provide an intimate pedestrian experience.
2 Low walls will be used to define the plaza environment and shall integrate with thematic walls, pilasters, and the street edges of Ferrari Ranch Road and Liberty Parkwaythe Central Boulevard.
3 Entry plaza elements including the pergola and
monumentation will reflect the rural character and establish a grand presence at the intersection. The rural character of the community will be reinforced with significant stands of evergreen and deciduous accent trees, planted formally to complement the grand scale of the entrance monument, but transitioning to an informal naturalized pattern as it envelopes the water feature.

Figure 7-3: Primary Community Entry Plan
4 Lighting and signage may be incorporated into the monument design in a subtle manner that is secondary to the overall form. 5 Accent plants and formal groupings of shrubs and
groundcovers planted at the base of the pilasters to add color and variety to the gateway.

Secondary Community and Neighborhood Entry Features
Secondary Community Entry features and Neighborhood Entry features within the community are distinguished with monuments and pilasters that thematically match the Primary Community Entry feature but are scaled down in size and proportion. The intent is to create landmark waypoints along community roadways and provide a visual transition into each neighborhood. These entry features will be designed in conjunction with Type 3 – Neighborhood Entry Signage (Section 7.2) where appropriate.

Key Characteristics
1 Secondary Community Entry - Smaller-scale monuments
flanking each side of the roadway, located at
neighborhood entries along Ferrari Ranch Road and
Moore Road. Monuments shall be integrated into any
adjacent community wall and may be combined with
smaller stand-alone pilasters and sign walls.
2 Neighborhood Entry - Small-scale monuments located on street corners at neighborhood entrances along Liberty
Parkwaythe Central Boulevard.
3 May be combined with Type 3 – Neighborhood Entry
Signage.
4 Residential Neighborhood identification signage or
thematic logos/ emblems incorporated into pilaster/wall elements in the form of an iconographic logo imprinted
in a metal plaque.
5 Lighting and signage shall be incorporated into the
monument design in a subtle manner that is secondary
to the overall form of the monument.
6 Pilasters flanked by formal plantings of accent trees that reinforce the visual monumentation.
7 Formal groupings of shrubs and groundcovers to add color and variety to the foreground of the hardscape
elements.

Roundabouts
Several roundabouts may be located along Liberty Parkway the Central Boulevard at key entrances to the residential neighborhoods.

While these features are intended to slow traffic, they also provide visual relief and variety to the streetscape. As such, roundabouts will be treated as focal elements providing visual way points for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It is important that internal elements of the roundabouts are constructed so as to not impede the view of drivers and pedestrians to avoid potential conflict.

Key Characteristics
1 Roundabouts (width as determined by the City’s traffic engineer), should have rolled curbs and be located in the center of the right-of-way.
2 Mounds of shrubs or tall groundcovers layered or stepped within low walls or raised planters to provide visual interest. 3 Enhanced pedestrian crosswalks at intersection surrounding roundabout, defined with stamped concrete, pavers, or other accent material.
4 All roundabouts will conform to the City’s design criteria with respect to turning radius.

Bridge Features
There are two roadway bridges as well as two pedestrian bridge crossings located within the community. Bridge features should have a thematic architectural design and be clad with brick that matches the hardscape materials used in the entrance features. Wing walls, abutments and any accompanying columns shall also be clad to match.

Key Characteristics
1 Decorative railing and rail caps that provide a threedimensional, architectural appearance along the streetscape.
2 Stone pilasters with decorative caps, used along the street edge to provide rhythmic breaks in the spans of railing. 3 Decorative light standards that are unique to the bridge but are part of the same design “family” of light standards used on all streets.
4 Brick cladding that matches the other hardscape materials used in entrance feature.

7.2 Community Signage
Signage and landmarks are important elements of the overall character and streetscape theme in the community. The proper location and design of signage features help orient residents and visitors to the community, while reinforcing its sense of place.

The signage philosophy is to establish the project’s identity through a combination of thematic entrance features, hardscape elements, and related signage and landmarks. Guidelines for entry features are provided in Section 7.1. The community signage and landmark features described in this section are intended to create a cohesive system of icons for project identity and way finding and thus should be read in conjunction with Section 7.1 for proper application of monuments and signage.

Sign elements referred to in this section are intended to globally address the community’s identity, rather than specific project or tenant identification. Specific sign requirements for commercial businesses are subject to review per a sign program approved as part of the future sitefocused Specific Development Plan for that site.

Several sign types are envisioned to enhance the community character of Village 7. Figures 7-6 and 7-9 show the location of these various sign types throughout the Village 7 community.

Type 1 – Primary Identification Signage: Located at Village 7’s primary entrance gateway at the gateway at the entry bridge on Ferrari Ranch Road. It identifies the Village 7 community and announces entrance into the residential neighborhoods beyond.

Type 2 – Secondary Community Entry Signage: Located at the secondary community entry at the intersections of Ferrari Ranch Road and Moore Road, and Moore Road and Liberty Parkwaythe Central Boulevard, these signs function much like the Type 1 signage, but have a smaller scale.

Type 3 – Neighborhood Entry Signage: Residential entrance identification signage, distinguishing each of the residential neighborhoods.

Type 4 – Community Feature Signage: Identification signage located at public parks, schools, or other civic facilities; also, interpretive signage located along multi-use trails within the Open Space preserves.

Type 5 – Marketing Signage: Temporary signage used to orient visitors to model homes and other community features when the project is under construction. (Locations not shown; to be determined at time of development.)
Type 6 – Open Space Signage: Type 6 signage interpretively identifies the surrounding open space areas and destination points along the Attachment 10 Exhibit B

7.3 Walls and Fences
Walls and fences throughout Village 7 are intended to provide screening between properties and uses, help define the edges of linear parkways, andparkways and provide privacy and security for private property. It is anticipated that there will be limited use of walls, except along the north and western edges of the community where required for sound attenuation, orattenuation or where incorporated as part of entry features. The design and material for walls and fences varies depending on the specific purpose but will be united through a common thematic color/ material application. Several wall and fence types are provided forprovided, as summarized below, and illustrated as follows.

Type 1 – Perimeter Walls and Fencing: Masonry soundwalls and/ or open view fencing (or combination thereof as
appropriate to the particular setting) to visually distinguish between the public and private realm.

Type 2 – Tubular Steel View Fence: Semi-transparent barriers typically located between private yards and open space preserves.

Type 3 – Post and Cable Fence: Low-scale fencing along open space edges that visually define preserve areas.

Type 4 – Standard Mesh Fence: Semi-transparent barriers for use at the school site.

Type 5 – Wood Fence: Property line fencing in residential areas to define side and rear yard spaces and provide privacy and security.

The typical location for each fence type is illustrated in Figure 7-103. In addition, guidelines for the siting of residential yard fencing are provided later in this sub-section.

7.3.1 Type 1 – Accent Fencing and Low Decorative Walls
Perimeter walls and fencing are used throughout the community, accomplishing several objectives. In entrance features, perimeter walls are used as decorative features to enhance the streetscape and reinforce the landscape theme and will be combined with minor entry monuments for signage purposes. These elements are also used to define the edge between linear parkways and adjacent land uses at the back of major roadway corridors and can also be used to screen utility boxes within the landscape corridors.

Guidelines are as follows:
1 Perimeter walls and fencing should be 6’ minimum in height and constructed of durable high-quality materials.
2 Perimeter walls shall be constructed of CMU and should include a decorative wall cap.
3 Utilize thematic pilasters at regular intervals as determined by topography and/ or product types, and at changes of
direction for both the accent fencing and low decorative wall. 4 At key points, such as corners, pilaster may be larger in size for decorative accent.
5 Where provided, caps on pilasters and fences should be simple in character and may extend above the fence height limit.

7.3.6 Siting Guidelines for Residential Yard Fencing
The siting and placement of residential yard fencing is an important element that helps shape the visual character of Village 7’s public realm. Several different fence types are allowed, as previously outlined in this sub-section. For residential properties, careful attention must be given to the placement and siting of fences to ensure that homes are engaged with the street. The goal of these guidelines is to ensure that:
1 Fencing defines, and helps create a visual transition between, the public realm and each home’s private yard space.
2 An appropriate level of screening and privacy is provided for each home.
3 Homes remain engaged with the public realm, such that fencing does not create a hard edge or barrier that physically blocks a home’s interface with the streetscape.

To this end, several diagrams are provided to illustrate the appropriate placement of fencing on residential lots, each of which is tailored to address the different circumstances of Village 7’s various housing types.

7.4 Parking Lot Landscaping and Shading

7.4.1 Landscape Guidelines
The primary goal for design of parking areas is to reduce and soften the visual impact of large asphalt areas and views of cars and to provide shade for parked cars. The following goals and guidelines apply primarily to the Town Center and Community Park but shall be applied to any public parking environment except on-street parking.

Guidelines are as follows:
1 To provide shade, trees in parking areas should be planted in an “orchard style” grid pattern. This approach will provide shade, reflect the agrarian heritage of the region, and create a visually pleasing environment. See shading Requirements on the following pages for details.
2 Provide convenient and safe pathways to minimize pedestrian conflicts with vehicular traffic.
3 Shrub/hedge screen planting should be provided where
parking lots face streets, plazas, property edges and between parcels. All hedges used for parking lot screening should be a minimum of 30 inches tall or be used in combination with earthen berms or low walls that provide an appropriate screen. 4 Encourage the use of bio-swales in parking lots where feasible. 5 Sight lines should be maintained for vehicle safety at entry points and to each parking aisle within parking lots.
6 A minimum standard of a 15 ft. wide landscape buffer shall be maintained between all parking lots and buildings and parking lots and property edge. This may include walks.
7 A minimum standard of a 15 ft. wide landscape buffer shall be maintained between all parking lots and streets.
8 A minimum standard of a 10 ft. wide landscape buffer shall be maintained at all side and rear property lines adjacent to parking lots.
9 Vehicle overhang allowance at parking lot edge into
landscaping or over sidewalk shall be a 2 ft. maximum.

7.4.2 Shading Requirements
Shading Design Intent
Trees shall be planted and maintained throughout the surface parking lots to ensure that within fifteen years after planting of trees, at least 50% of the parking lot will be shaded. This should be calculated by using the estimated crown for mature trees, assumed to be at fifteen years of age. Each planting area shall be of adequate size for the landscaping approved and shall have adequate irrigation for the landscaping.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1898

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
City of Lincoln 7-31 February APRIL 202620254
The shade requirement is for all parking stalls and the maneuvering space directly behind the parking stall. If a site has two or more unconnected parking areas, shade is calculated separately for each area. If they are connected by a joining drive, they are calculated as one lot. The following paved areas are not required to comply with the shade requirements.
1 Driveways and drive aisles not used for parking maneuvering. 2 Truck loading, parking, and maneuvering unconnected to and exclusive of any vehicle parking.
3 Surfaced areas not to be used for vehicle parking, driving, or maneuvering, provided they are made inaccessible to
vehicles by a barrier such as bollards or fencing.

Shading Calculations
1 Shade is determined by using the appropriate percentage of the crown as indicated on the Shade Credit Calculations.
2 Trees selected for shade shall be deciduous.
3 In meeting the shade requirements, parking lot landscaping shall include not less than a minimum of 1 tree per 5 end-toend parking spaces. End aisles should have 2 trees minimum where feasible.
4 Shade credit calculation shall be based on the estimated tree canopy at 15 years when trees are expected to mature.
5 Planters shall contain earth and living ground cover with adequate and approved irrigation.
6 Existing tree species on site may be identified for consideration in shade credit calculation. In these cases, the actual canopy area that shades paved area shall be measured and applied to the shade credit calculation.
7 Overlapping shade does not count twice when crowns overlap more than 25%.
8 Parking lot lighting shall be located to avoid conflict with the required trees.

Shade Credit Calculations
The following list outlines the shade credits in square footage for trees with various crown diameters and should be used for shade calculations. Shorter trees with a smaller crown diameter may be used.

All diameters listed assume mature trees at 15 years of age.

New 35 ft. diameter parking lot trees: 100% Value = 962 SF New 30 ft. diameter parking lot trees: 100% Value = 706 SF New 25 ft. diameter parking lot trees: 100% Value = 491 SF New 20 ft. diameter parking lot trees: 100% Value = 314 SF Existing Trees: Area of tree canopy that actually shades parking lot.

7.5 Street Lighting
Lighting is an important element in the landscape and should be used to contribute to a safe and attractive environment. Natural areas may require minimal light levels while street intersections will require illumination levels for safe pedestrian crossings. Lighting also reinforces the community’s overall design theme and sense of place by adding a common, thematic element that is repeated along all major roadways.

Lighting Guidelines:
1 The project’s street lighting should have a thematic nature, evoking the rural character of the plan area, and working in conjunction with the hardscape and landscape materials to define the community’s sense of place.
2 Lighting fixtures have a hierarchical form along the various street frontages, with larger-scale fixtures used along Ferrari Ranch Road and Liberty Parkway the Central Boulevard,
Moore Road and smaller, pedestrian- scaled fixtures used along residential streets, as defined in the lighting prototypes. 3 A distinguished lighting fixture design should be used on all bridges, which are clearly part of the same design “family” as the primary light fixtures, but that define each bridge as signature element along the streetscape.
4 Illumination levels on roadways should allow drivers to clearly see all road alignments, potential obstacles, and traffic control signage. Intersections or unique conditions should receive more light.
5 Street lighting shall conform to the City of Lincoln’s minimum illumination level standards for public streets.
6 Light fixtures shall be adequately spaced to provide consistent safe levels of illumination and to minimize shadow interference from trees.
7 Walkways, entry areas, courtyards, paseos, and plazas should be lit to provide a sense of personal safety for pedestrians and to minimize shadows, with extra lighting provided at intersections, steps, ramps, and other obstacles.
8 Parking and vehicular circulation areas should complement the streetscape fixtures and meet City illumination level standards for parking areas.

7.6 Landscape Edges & Buffers for Sensitive Area
Several site-specific conditions exist throughout the community that warrant special landscape design and treatment. The City’s Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility (WWTRF) is located along the western edge of the site and a landscape edge should be designed accordingly and create an appropriate separation between the community and this facility. Additionally, a system of open space preserves is located throughout the residential neighborhoods, and the landscaping along these interfaces should provide an appropriate landscape transition between the developed and natural environment areas

7.6.1 Open Space Preserves
Landscaping is an important component that can enhance the natural setting and existing resources. Soils, climate, prevailing wind, proposed pedestrian circulation, riparian edges, views, wildlife habitat, and other natural qualities should be carefully considered in the landscape design adjacent to open space preserves. Additional information may be found in the Specific Plan, section 8, Resource Management Plan. Any landscape improvements proposed in open space areas, edge, and buffer environments, or near sensitive areas shall be reconciled with the resource management plans prepared by others.

Guidelines are as follows:
1 Natural-appearing landscaping should be planted where residential units adjoin open space areas to create a landscape transition between these two uses. Landscaping should be ample enough to provide a sense of privacy for the residents living adjacent to the open space areas but be visually compatible with the natural setting of the open space.
2 All plant materials used in the natural open space areas should be appropriate to the existing riparian and creek zones in the Lincoln area, as specified in the master plant palette. The landscape design should reinforce the existing aesthetic, cultural and historical character of the region.
3 Where appropriate and feasible, existing vegetation and trees should be preserved as a resource in the landscape.
4 Where existing vegetation is to be preserved, a preservation plan shall be incorporated into the overall proposed landscape plan.

Lot grading, utility trenching, and building construction shall stay clear of such vegetation. Landscape and irrigation improvements shall be designed to maintain the health of these existing landscape resources.

7.6.2 Perimeter Edges
Site perimeters will be landscaped to provide a visual separation and to define the edge of the community.

Guidelines are as follows:
1 Provide continuous hedgerow of tall trees along the western perimeter of Neighborhood 3.
2 Provide a continuous row of tall trees along the northern and western edges of Neighborhood 1 to provide a visual separation from Moore Road and to define the edge of the community. 3 Provide a continuous row of tall trees along the northern edge of the Community Park and the western edge of Neighborhood 2, to define the western limits of the community.
4 Appropriate tree species may include the following: Deodar Cedar, Redwood Trees, or Pine Trees. Pyrophytes will be used minimally adjacent to open space areas. and the edge of the property.

7.7 Commercial Site Landscaping
Large expanses of hardscape intended for heavy pedestrian use, such as in commercial and retail environments, shall be integrated with appropriate softscape plantings either in raised planters, planter pots, or other landscape elements that reinforce the architectural façade and pattern or pedestrian circulation. Consideration should also be given to the use of a mixture of pavement surface textures, colors, and materials as a means of adding visual ties back to the architecture and the overall design theme of the project sites.

Guidelines are as follows:
1 All prominent blank building wall surfaces shall include landscaping to soften the visual characteristics of the building façade.

Acceptable forms of landscaping include low-level planters, raised planters containing shrubs, groundcovers and trees, trees in planting wells, vines, and espalier.
2 Driveways at project entry points shall be accented in an appropriate manner with shrubs, groundcovers, and tree plantings. 3 All stores that provide shopping carts shall include designated cart storage areas near the building entrance that is screened with landscape planting.

7.8 Front Yard Residential Landscaping
The design goal for the initial installation of the front yard landscape concept is to integrate the village environment into the overall community landscape. Informality, except for street tree plantings, and simplicity of design is encouraged to reflect the traditional landscapes of established neighborhoods that have enduring value. Coordinated front yard landscaping will serve to unify the various architectural styles of housing units as well as provide the opportunity to highlight architectural feature(s) of individual homes.

The design and layout of lawn, shrub and groundcover areas should “flow” from one house to another, creating a natural, continuous, and fluid landscape experience irrespective of property lines. Plant material shall be arranged in a tiered fashion to create depth, with layers of overhead tree canopies, shrub plantings at building walls, property lines and fences and low shrubs and groundcovers in foregrounds.

At corner lots, special care shall be taken to create interesting and varied elevations to house models that are particularly suited to corner applications. Window and trim use consistent with front elevations shall be employed and will be reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC). For additional information on the role and purpose of the DRC, refer to section 8.6 of the GDP. Additionally, plant compositions at building foundations and in front of side yard fences shall be in tiered planting arrangements in simple, single species drifts of large and small shrubs, combined with designated street trees will create significant green spaces within the community as well soften the side elevations of homes.

The primary strategy for the landscape is to create a neighborhood that stands out among others in the region as one of the finest, with enduring value that will benefit homebuilders and homeowners as well as the Lincoln community at large. This will be done, while accommodating a variety of housing types and styles, through homebuilder installed landscapes that exceed normal standards. The design strategies and standards for “production front yard” landscapes rely heavily on accent and canopy trees for shade and visual interest.

The use of more, and, when mature, larger shrubs, along with evergreen trees is intended to provide greater botanical interest, screening, and a sense of maturity, as compared to landscaping displayed in typical new communities.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1908

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
City of Lincoln 7-41 February APRIL 202620254
Guidelines: Residential Street Trees
1 In keeping with the goals of the street tree master plan concept, the dominant tree for each individual Neighborhood will be designated and taken from a limited variety of canopy street trees. The use of large, canopy trees will ensure shaded, walkable streets, mitigating the heat of summer while enhancing neighborhoods with a strong overstory. 2 A secondary and tertiary layer of subordinate tree species will be introduced in front yards to provide additional structural and spatial form as well as variety and seasonal interest for homeowners. These trees will be called out on production front yard landscape plans and submitted to the DRC.
3 Street tree species shall be adopted by the DRC from the street tree palette provided herein for each residential Neighborhood. 4 All street trees shall be a minimum of 15-gallon size. 5 All street trees shall be planted a minimum of four feet (4’) from the back of walk but no greater than eight feet (8’) from back of walk. Root control barriers shall be installed.
6 There shall be a minimum of one street tree for every 50’ of street frontage, or one per lot, whichever is more. For corner lots, one side yard tree is required per every 50’ of street frontage (3 trees per corner lot). 7 Create diversity in the streetscape design using deciduous and evergreen plant material in a balanced, layered, and clustered combination.
8 Special attention is required in the design of the planting plan to:
a. Preserve or frame desirable vistas or views of the existing landscape or natural site features, i.e., to parks, open spaces and the multipurpose drainage channel and linear park. b. Screen or soften undesirable views of exposed residential backyards, retaining walls, cut / fill slopes and/or utility equipment.

Evergreen trees are required in these locations.
c. Screening for privacy. Evergreen trees or shrubs are required for these locations, particularly side yards between homes and at corner lots.
9 No small accent trees shall be planted along street frontage within an area of eight (8) feet from the back of curb or sidewalk. 10 To achieve a natural front yard look, the secondary and accent trees may be placed in informal massing or clusters to the rear of the front yard, particularly near front doors.
11 Street trees in a straight line along street frontages. 12 Continuity of design using repetition of similar trees and consistent planting arrangements (i.e., massing and/or clustering) is preferred, i.e., the same accent tree at front doors, or the same species and planting arrangements of trees in side yards.
13 Street and secondary accent trees are encouraged to be located to create cooling summertime shading for adjacent homes and to maximize warming wintertime solar exposure.
14 The selection and use of additional front yard trees for shade, accent and streetscape interest will further add to the strength and enduring value of the community. Flowering trees, evergreens, and trees of botanical interest and value have been included in the following plant lists and will be required in all front and side yards. Secondary and tertiary front yard trees shall be a minimum 15-gallon size.

Guidelines: Accent Tree, Shrub and Groundcover Plant Material 1 Plant material species shall be selected from the plant material palette provided in this section.
2 No more than 25% of any one front yard landscape shall be composed of deciduous shrubs.
3 Shrub plant material shall be placed in informal masses and/or clustered arrangements. Groups of three to five shrubs of the same type shall be placed adjacent to each other.
4 Groundcovers shall be from either one (1) gallon, liners or flats installed in a triangular pattern with appropriate on-center spacing as detailed in the plant list contained herein. 5 When developing a shrub and groundcover planting design, a layered, tiered arrangement is required: foreground groundcover (6”-12” high), in front of a small shrub (1’-3’ high), followed by a medium shrub (3’-4’ high), or backed by a tall shrub (5’-6’ high). 6 Provide a harmonious variety of deciduous and evergreen shrubs. Shrubs with showy flowering habits and/or interesting colored or shaped leaves should be placed adjacent to the home’s front entry area.
7 Place one (1) specimen or small accent tree adjacent to each home’s front entry area. Accent trees shall be selected from the list provided herein.
8 Design and coordinate the front yard landscaping between adjacent homes to blend and relate to each other. Planting beds and lawn areas shall not be defined by property lines, but rather flow from front yard to front yard creating an uninterrupted visual experience.
9 Use the landscape to help bridge the void between the architectural masses of adjacent homes. Take into consideration the spatial and landscape design needs for conditions created by topographic elevation changes between the home lots. Use evergreen plant material to the maximum extent possible in these situations.
10 Strategically place landscaping between the homes to screen and soften exposed interior side yard and rear yard fencing. Use evergreen plant material to the maximum extent possible in these situations.
11 Within shrub/groundcover planting areas shrubs shall be planted at a ratio of one (1) shrub per six (6) square feet of the total square footage of shrub/groundcover area.
12 The proper spacing of trees, shrubs, and groundcover to allow adequate room for the plant mate-rial to grow into its natural form and ultimate size at maturity is exceedingly important but should not be used as a basis for decreasing shrub quantities.

Consult the Sunset Western Garden Book for Guidelines regarding the growth characteristics of plant material to be used. 13 The careful selection and use of plant materials that have lowwater consumption characteristics is desirable. Plant material that can tolerate occasional periods of reduced irrigation cycles will allow the landscaped environment the ability to withstand short-term drought conditions with the least amount of damage.

14 Water Conserving Landscape
a. Group plant material with similar water needs so they can be irrigated together (hydrozoning) and/or placing “thirsty” plant material in protected microclimates shielded from drying summer winds and direct sun.
b. Evaluate the need for high water use lawn areas. Groundcovers with turf-like appearance may be satisfactory for landscaped areas while reducing water needs.
c. Select the correct plant material for the right planting situation. d. Utilize a layer of mulch in shrub planter areas to reduce water evaporation and weed growth. A 2” mulch layer is required in all planting beds. Shredded or recycled bark meeting the specifications cited herein will be considered upon submittal of a sample from the contractor to the DRC.
15 Lawn Areas
a. Lawn areas shall be a maximum of 25% of the total square footage of the area to be landscaped.
b. All lawn areas shall be sodded. Sod shall be drought tolerant as specified in the plant list provided herein.
c. The lawn area shall be properly soil amended, compacted, finish graded and rolled prior to the laying of the sod.
d. Slopes within lawn areas shall not exceed a slope of 25% (4:1) and shall have a minimum slope of 2% (50:1).
e. Where trees are planted in lawn areas, remove lawn from around trunk to create a 2’-0” diameter basin.
f. Redwood headers (or other types) shall be installed to separate lawn areas from shrub planting areas. Install headers to form an even continuous curve. Angles or sharp changes in curves are not acceptable.
g. All lawn areas shall conform to City of Lincoln’s Water Conservation Ordinance as well as California Assembly Bill 1881 and AB 1420.
16 Erosion Control
a. Planting areas with slope gradients of 33% (3:1) or steeper shall be stabilized to prevent soil erosion.
b. Soil stabilization methods shall be accomplished using groundcover plant material and artificial (jute mesh, terracing, etc.) means. Jute mesh shall be installed on slopes 3:1 or steeper.
c. Regrade landscape areas to eliminate angular, engineered slope cuts into rounded, rolling and naturally contoured slopes that smoothly transition from a higher to lower elevation.

17 Soil Preparation & Soil Amending
a. All turf areas shall be properly prepared and amended in conformance with the recommendations of a professional
soil fertility analysis as to the condition of the soil. The homebuilder shall obtain five random soil samples for fertility analysis testing from each residential Neighborhood. Soil amending shall be as per those recommendations.
b. Planting backfill mix for trees and shrubs and groundcovers shall be six (6) parts rock free native soil and four (4) parts nitrogen stabilized wood shavings.
c. Provide each tree or shrub planting with Agriform 20-10-5, or equivalent, planting tablets. For a 15-gallon tree or shrub provide three (3) tablets. For a 5-gallon shrub provide two (2) tablets. For a one-gallon shrub or groundcover provide one (1) tablet.
d. Pre-emergent herbicides shall be applied to shrub and groundcover planting areas to control weeds.
e. All shrub beds shall receive a 3” thick layer of landscape grade shredded cedar bark mulch as manufactured by RediGro Corporation, (916) 381-6063; or other manufacturer approved by the DRC and City. The use of wood chips for mulch is not allowed.
f. The use of crushed rock, gravel, lava rocks or other decorative “landscaping” rock for mulch is not allowed. g. The use of impermeable plastic weed barriers is not allowed.

Guidelines: Landscape Irrigation
1 The irrigation system shall be designed for water efficiency and water conservation in accordance with all applicable state, City of Lincoln, agency, and local codes.
2 The use of overhead sprinkler and/or rotor irrigation systems is recommended for lawn areas and some groundcovers
3 Drip irrigation systems are required for shrub plantings and some groundcover plantings. This type of irrigation system tends to be more water efficient and water conserving than other systems due to the slow delivery rate of water (low volume) via plastic tubing directly to the root ball of the plant material. Environmental factors such as evaporation and wind tend to have the least effect on this type of irrigation system. Drip irrigation systems contribute minimally to soil erosion problems on sloped planting areas.
4 When using any type of irrigation system, care will be exercised by controlling the delivery rate of water so as not to overwhelm the soil’s water absorption rate. Overwhelming the soil’s water absorption rate will likely cause water run-off and soil erosion. Proper programming of the automatic irrigation controller, knowing the plant materials’ water needs, familiarity with the soil’s water absorption characteristics and slope aspects are necessary for responsible water resource management and good irrigation practice.
5 The irrigation controller will be located on a convenient wall of the garage (detached units only).

6 67 The homebuilder will provide the required electrical power for the automatic irrigation controller as part of the home’s electrical system and will conform to all building, electrical and local codes (detached units only).
78 The homebuilder and/or landscape contractor will coordinate to provide the irrigation system water point of connection, provide an irrigation water stub for the front yard at the home’s main supply valve, and extend a pressure main line around the front of the home, as an extension of the remote-control valve manifold to a point 4’ beyond the side yard fence into the rear yard of the property (detached units only).
89 The irrigation system valve manifold will be located on the side of the house and not adjacent to the front door entry walk area.

Valves shall be installed in shrub beds, not in lawn areas, within 12” of the home’s foundation or building slab (detached units only). 910 Anti-siphon valves will be installed per manufacturer’s instructions and will be located a minimum of 12” above the elevation of the highest sprinkler head. At residential lots where the highest sprinkler head exceeds this height, a double check valve backflow device will be installed per local codes. Install anti-siphon valves in shrub beds and not in lawn areas.
1011Where double check valve backflow prevention is required, buried electric control valves will be installed.
1112Install an irrigation system shut-off gate above grade adjacent to the main supply valve for the house. The shut-off valve shall be a gate valve installed upstream of the irrigation system valve manifold and shall be the same size as the irrigation system’s constant pressure mainline diameter size.
1213It is recommended to install irrigation PVC sleeves beneath driveways, walkways, or other paved areas prior to concrete installation. Install the necessary number of sleeves, properly sized, to accommodate the front and rear yard irrigation system mainline, lateral lines and controller wiring.
1314The automatic irrigation controller station and common wire shall be no less than 14-gauge wire specifically manufactured for irrigation systems. The station control wire shall be red, and the common wire shall be white in color.
1415The landscape contractor shall install two extra station control wires and one extra common wire in each irrigation system.
1516Controller wire connectors shall be waterproof, direct bury single units such as the King Bros. 30 V connectors.
1617Only NSF approved PVC irrigation pipe shall be used in the irrigation system. Use only a NSF approved and compatible solvent weld product and primer to join PVC pipes and fittings.

8.1 Administration
The regulations and design guidelines identified in the Village 7 General Development Plan (GDP) are intended to implement the goals, objectives, policies, and principles outlined in the City of Lincoln General Plan and the Village 7 Specific Plan. Development within the Village 7 Plan Area shall be consistent with the regulations and guidelines contained herein, and all subsequent entitlements including, but not limited to, specific development plans, tentative maps, use permits, or other discretionary permits shall be required to conform to the provisions of this GDP.

Pursuant to Section 18.32.010 of the Lincoln Municipal Code, the Planned Development (“PD”) zone is intended to provide for a “creative and more flexible approach to the use of land.” Consistent with this intent, the regulations and guidelines identified in the Village 7 GDP should be interpreted broadly to ensure the maximum amount of flexibility in individual project design.

In some circumstances, specific improvement standards have been identified for development in Village 7 and are intended to further facilitate the creative and flexible uses of land within the Plan Area.

Where the provisions of the City’s Municipal Code (including, but not limited to, the Subdivision Ordinance or Zoning Ordinance) conflict with the provisions of this GDP, the provisions of this GDP shall prevail.

8.2 Participation in GDP by Separate Planning Areas

8.2.1 Background
Through a comprehensive planning effort that commenced in 2003, the Village 7 Specific Plan ultimately evolved to include approximately 703 acres. The Village 7 Specific Plan is divided into four separate planning areas, the geographic boundaries of which are outlined in Section 2 of the Specific Plan document. These planning areas are generally defined by property ownership to allow each area to participate in the planning process on an individual basis.

IMPLEMENTATION
City of Lincoln 8-3
February APRIL 202620254

8.2.2 Entitlements Granted
While this GDP is intended to ultimately regulate all land in Village 7, it applies only to those planning areas that have been incorporated into it. The City grants development entitlements to participating planning areas after a higher level of planning and technical work has been completed. As each planning area conducts comprehensive land planning and neighborhood design, it is to be reflected as an amendment to this GDP accordingly and granted development entitlements. Table 8-1 summarizes what level of entitlements are granted to participating and non-participating planning areas.

The City will determine the appropriate level of CEQA analysis required for subsequent entitlements, as outlined in Section 8.4.6 of this GDP.

8.2.3 Requirements to Participate in GDP
This GDP is structured to allow non-participating planning areas to join the GDP individually or collectively, and along separate timelines. To receive full development entitlements and proceed with the development of individual projects, any non-participating planning area must conduct comprehensive planning and be incorporated into this GDP. To do this, the following actions and City approvals are required.

Attachment 10 Exhibit B
1920

IMPLEMENTATION
8-4 City of Lincoln
February APRIL 202620254

1. GDP Amendment – Amend GDP to reflect a comprehensive level of planning for any added planning area, including a similar level of detail with diagrams, text, and design principles embodied in this document. A PD zoning designation is to be applied to the planning area, making it subject to the regulations contained herein. In addition:
a. The submittal requirements for the GDP amendment are provided in Section 9.4 of the Village 7 Specific Plan. b. The GDP Amendment shall be considered a “Major
Amendment” per Section 8.5 of this GDP.

2. Development Agreement – Enter into a Development Agreement with the City to ensure participation in public improvements, financing programs, and reimbursement agreements.

3. CEQA Analysis – Conduct a project level environmental analysis in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, which to the extent allowed, is tiered from the Village 7 Specific Plan Project EIR.

8.3 Phasing Plan
The Village 7 GDP provides for a comprehensively planned infrastructure system with coordinated timing and sequencing for the construction of facilities. A series of development phases are generally anticipated as shown on Figure 8-1. The opportunity exists for a parcel/phase to move forward provided that the infrastructure needed to serve it is constructed to the satisfaction of the City (i.e. development of a parcel in Phase 2 or 3 is initiated prior to development of all Phase 1 parcels). Once initiated, some phases may have reduced infrastructure requirements if improvements are provided in an earlier phase.

The phasing plan is structured to ensure that the improvements in each phase can support associated development, and that the development in each phase can support the associated costs.

Infrastructure requirements for each phase include all on-site backbone infrastructure and off-site facilities necessary for each phase to proceed. These include roadways, sewer, water, storm drainage, and dry utilities (gas, cable, electric, phone).

The phasing plan is limited to only those planning areas that are participating in the GDP. (See Section 1.2 of the GDP and Figure 1-2).

As this GDP is amended in the future to include additional planning areas, the phasing plan will be modified accordingly.

Buildout of the community is anticipated to occur in phases, allowing construction to progress in tandem with market demand. The infrastructure requirements for each phase of development include all on-site backbone infrastructure and off-site facilities necessary for each phase to proceed. Development will generally occur by phase in sequential order. The opportunity exists for a parcel to move forward provided that the infrastructure needed to serve it is constructed to the satisfaction of the City. Once development is initiated, some phases may have reduced infrastructure requirements if improvements are provided in an earlier developed phase.

Figure 8-1 indicates the anticipated general order of development, however deviations from this order may occur and are permitted without modification to the Lincoln Village 7 Specific Plan and/or General Development Plan. A full listing of improvements, and specific details relating to those improvements, are included in the appropriate Development Agreement for each planning area. All intract sewer, storm drain, water and dry utilities will be installed as part of individual project improvements.

8.4 PD Zoning & Relation to Other Entitlements
Individual development projects within Village 7 are subject to review and approval of subsequent permits and entitlements by the City of Lincoln. Application and processing requirements shall be in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance and other regulations, unless otherwise modified by the Village 7 Specific Plan or this GDP. All subsequent development projects, public improvements and other activities shall be consistent with this GDP and accompanying Village 7 Specific Plan, approved development agreements, and all applicable City of Lincoln policies, requirements, and standards.

8.4.1 Specific Development Plan / Development Plan
Except as provided below, development projects shall require the processing and approval of a Specific Development Plan and Development Permit consistent with the requirements of Chapter 18.32 of the Lincoln Municipal Code.

It is anticipated that the size and scope of development within Village 7 will proceed over many years based on market demand.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18.32.170 of the Lincoln Municipal Code, in the event a Specific Development Plan application is filed more than one year after the approval of this GDP, the Planning Commission may consider and approve the Specific Development Plan without the requirement that it first reconsider this General Development Plan for re-adoption or modification.

8.4.2 Subdivision Maps (Large/Small Lot)
Development of Village 7 will require the processing of subdivision maps pursuant to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. It is anticipated that both large lot and small lot subdivision map applications will be filed with the City to permit the logical development of the Plan Area.

This GDP includes improvement standards that are unique to Village 7 and are intended to promote a high degree of creativity and flexibility. To the extent application of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance to a proposed subdivision map conflicts with the provisions of this GDP, the improvement standards identified in this GDP shall prevail.

8.4.3 Conditional Use Permits
Conditional use permits shall be required for any conditionally permitted use identified within this General Development Plan. The Development Standards and Guidelines contained in this GDP shall serve as the basis for the issuance of conditional use permits, as provided in Chapter 18.56 of the Lincoln Municipal Code.

8.4.4 Variances
It is the intent of this GDP to provide a comprehensive set of standards for the development of Village 7. The GDP has been designed to permit a high level of flexibility in the implementation of these standards to promote creative project design.

Notwithstanding this high degree of flexibility, it is anticipated that variances from the specific regulations and guidelines embodied in this GDP may be necessary to address the merits of individual development projects.

Variances may be requested for individual development proposals subject to the Village 7 GDP pursuant to the provisions of Chapter

18.58 of the Lincoln Municipal Code.

8.4.5 Design Review
Development within Village 7 shall be required to comply with the Design Review requirements of the City’s Municipal Code (Chapters

18.64 through 18.69).

The regulations and guidelines identified in the Village 7 GDP are intended to provide the objective criteria for the review of individual projects to ensure that a high quality of development is maintained throughout the Plan Area. To the extent the regulations and guidelines conflict with the City’s Municipal Code, the provisions of this GDP shall prevail.

8.4.6 Environmental Review
Each subsequent development project shall be reviewed to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The Environmental Impact Report for the Village 7 Specific Plan Project (EIR) certified concurrent with the Village 7 Specific Plan, serves as the base environmental document for subsequent entitlements within Village 7. Development applications will be reviewed on a project-byproject basis to determine consistency with the EIR.

In general, if subsequent development is determined to be within the scope of the EIR, no further environmental review may be necessary.

Section 65457(a) of the California Government Code and Section 15182(a) of CEQA provide that no EIR or negative declaration is required for any residential project undertaken in conformity with an adopted Specific Plan for which an EIR has been certified. If it is determined that a development application is inconsistent with the Village 7 Specific Plan or GDP, and/or substantial evidence exists that supports the occurrence of any of the events set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, a determination will be made as to the appropriate subsequent environmental document.

A mitigation monitoring program has been adopted with the EIR in accordance with Public Resources Code 21081.8 to help ensure implementation of EIR mitigation measures.

8.5 Amendments & Minor Modifications
The City of Lincoln Development Services Department is responsible for the administration of this GDP. Development is anticipated to occur in multiple phases and over time it may be necessary to amend the Village 7 GDP to address changed circumstances and/or conditions related to the entire Plan Area or individual development projects. In addition, because this GDP applies only to participating planning areas within Village 7, it is anticipated that the GDP will be amended as remaining non-participating planning areas seek City approvals for full development entitlements.

8.5.1 Adoption
The Village 7 GDP was adopted by the City of Lincoln consistent with the provisions of the Planned Unit Development Zoning District. It will be used as the basis for reviewing and evaluating individual development projects within participating planning areas of Village 7.

circumstances or conditions may result in the need for minor revisions to the Plan to ensure creative and flexible development.

The City Manager and/or Community Development Director shall have the authority to approve minor revisions to the Village 7 GDP, without a public hearing or notice, provided that the proposed revision(s) is in substantial conformance with City of Lincoln General Plan, Village 7 Specific Plan, and is otherwise consistent with or superior to the original purpose and intent of the Village 7 GDP.

A minor revision to the Village 7 GDP may be processed if determined by the City Manager and/or Community Development Director to be in substantial conformance with the following.

1. The planning principles and overall intent of the Village 7 Specific Plan.

2. Applicable Development Agreement(s) for the Specific Plan and/or Village 7 GDP.

3. The City of Lincoln General Plan goals, objectives, policies, and principles; and

4. The Village 7 Specific Plan Project Environmental Impact Report.

Examples of minor revisions:

1. The addition of new or updated information that does not substantively change the Village 7 GDP.

2. Minor adjustments to the land use boundaries and street alignments where the general land use pattern is maintained.

3. Minor modifications to, and interpretations of, the permitted uses and development standards for residential, commercial, open space, and recreation elements of this GDP, if it is determined that such changes are equal to or better than the original intent of the GDP.

4. Minor changes to the Mobility Plan design standards, including the width of linear parkways, acoustic setbacks, and sidewalks, that are consistent with the intent of the Village 7 Specific Plan and Village 7 GDP, and do not impact the City’s ability to meet their level of service policy.

5. Minor adjustments to, and interpretations of, the residential and commercial design guidelines.

6. Minor adjustments to, and interpretations of, the design guidelines for streetscape landscaping (including plant material selection), fencing and walls, community entry features and signage, street lighting, and other landscape corridor elements.

7. Modifications to the phasing plan that do not change the overall balance of providing adequate infrastructure for the
development.

Any proposed minor revision to the Village 7 GDP may, at the discretion of the City Manager and/or Community Development Director, be referred to the Planning Commission and City Council for action. Any decision by the City Manager and/or Community Development Director with respect to a minor amendment to the General Development Plan may be appealed to the Planning Commission and the City Council, provided said appeal is initiated within ten (10) working days after the day on which the act or determination appealed from was made. The ten-day period for filing the notice of appeal is jurisdictional and shall not be waived.

If the City Manager and/or Community Development Director determines that a proposed revision does not meet the above criteria, a General Development Amendment shall be required, as outlined above for Major Amendments.

8.5.4 Substantial Conformity with Conceptual Exhibits
Except for Village 7 Specific Plan Figure 4-1 Land Use Plan and General Development Plan Figure 3-1, the exhibits contained in the Village 7 Specific Plan and General Development Plan are conceptual to convey development/design concepts and are subject to change with design refinement of the Project at time of Tentative Subdivision Map(s). As such, strict adherence to the conceptual exhibits contained therein is not expected and individual design elements are permitted to be relocated, removed and/or added as needed to best suit the planned development pattern. For example, neighborhood boundaries may be adjusted; paseo, park, and school shapes, locations, and access points shifted; street sections refined; utility alignments shifted; etc., to conform to the proposed street and lot layout shown on the Tentative Subdivision Map(s). Note that if park shape, location, etc. are adjusted, Lincoln General Plan park dedication requirements are still required to be met.

Unless the proposed modifications would also trigger a Major Amendment to the Village 7 Specific Plan (as defined in SP Section

9.8.2) and/or General Development Plan (as defined in GDP Section

8.5.2), these minor design refinements should be considered by the City Manager and/or Community Development Director to be in substantial conformance with the Land Use Plan and, as such, would not warrant of require revisions to the Village 7 Specific Plan and/or General Development Plan to be in compliance with the Land Use Plan and/or Zoning exhibits.

8.6 Design Review Committee
A Design Review Committee (DRC) is required, per the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, and is a regulatory body that will review all residential and commercial projects within each planning area.

The purpose of the DRC is to ensure that development projects are consistent with the Village 7 Specific Plan and GDP prior to submittal of development applications to the City of Lincoln. Additionally, the DRC will also review projects for consistency with the GDP Architectural Guidelines contained in the private Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Under no circumstances will plans be submitted to the City of Lincoln for preliminary or final review and approval without the prior approval of the DRC.
