approved: Tivoli Snow, Tivoli Arcadia, Olivewood, Martin and Belconte. Two of those developments, Snow and Arcadia, are currently under construction.
On January 22, 2025, the Planning Division received applications for three new residential developments: Alves, Mable, and Paregian. All three are generally located to the north and south of Mable Avenue, east of Oakdale Road, and south of future Claratina Avenue. All three developments in combination propose a total of 343 single-family residential lots over 71.8 gross acres total. While all three developments are adjacent to each other and interconnected by way of sharing access from future Bridgewood Way (west of Aria Way) and a future connector street to extend south from future Claratina Avenue all east of Oakdale Road, this report and discussion relates to the proposed Mable-Tivoli project as described in the Discussion below.
DISCUSSION:
The Mable-Tivoli development consists of the following proposed entitlements:
• Specific Plan No. 8 to the Tivoli Specific Plan, to amend the Land Use Diagram to change two gross acres from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3) to Low Density Residential (LDR-12) (Project ID: SPA-25-003). • Adoption of Tivoli Area Plan No. 4 (Project ID: AREA-25-002). • Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map “Tivoli Mable Parcel” to divide 22.8 gross acres into 92 residential lots (Project ID: TSM-25-002). • Final Development Plan “Tivoli Mable” for setback and other development standards (Project ID: FDP-25-001).

Area Plan No. 4
The TSP is comprised of nine individual Area Plans, each to ensure that any proposed development provides for circulation, land uses, infrastructure and design standards that implement policies of the Specific Plan. Each Area Plan outlines the placement of utilities and other infrastructure, as well as landscaping/paseos, location of neighborhood entries and lot configurations. To date, Area Plans No. 2, 5, and 6 have been adopted. The applicant proposes the adoption of Area Plan No. 4, within which is the proposed Tivoli Mable tentative subdivision map.
Per the Specific Plan, Area Plan No. 4 extends south to Sylvan Avenue. However, the Mable application proposes an Area Plan only for the northerly half of Area Plan No. 4, since the properties to the south are not part of the Mable application.
Any future development on the south side of Area Plan No. 4 not covered by this document would require the provision of an amended Area Plan that includes details regarding the development of that southerly area.
Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map: “Tivoli Mable Parcel” and Final Development Plan
The proposed tentative map of Tivoli Mable Parcel would divide 22.8 gross acres into 92 single-family residential lots, the majority being small-lot of less than 5,000 square feet. The tentative map also dedicates a portion of the future community park/dual-use basin and right-of-way for future Bridgewood Way including placement of the paseo in accordance with the Specific Plan.

tentative map is a proposed Final Development Plan for the site that provides for development standards specific to the tentative map area, including building setbacks and landscaping. As a majority of lots are to be less than 5,000 square feet in area, the Final Development Plan proposes interior side yard setbacks of three feet in width to the property line, and street-side yard setbacks of 12-feet in width. Rear yard setbacks are proposed to be 15-feet at minimum, and front yards of 12-feet, with 20-feet setback distances for the garages.

Tentative Subdivision Map Findings:
Per Modesto Municipal Code Section 10-4.404(d) Limitations on Approval for (maps other than Parcel Maps), a vesting tentative subdivision map cannot be approved or conditionally approved if any of the following findings are made:
(1) That the proposed tentative map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
Staff Review: All three proposed vesting tentative subdivision maps of Alves, Mable, and Paregian are consistent with the General Plan and the TSP (as amended) as all three are within the Residential (R) land uses of the General Plan and the residential land use areas of the TSP, allowing for development of residential uses as provided by the TSP.
(2) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
Staff review: Conditions of approval for each of the tentative maps are being applied to ensure compliance with the General Plan, development standards and infrastructure requirements of the Specific Plan, and applicable City Codes and Standards.
(3) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
Staff Review: The Tivoli Specific Plan is a long-range vision planning document that was approved in 2008 by the City Council. All three projects are within the Specific Plan’s area and the site is suitable for the type of residential development proposed by the tentative maps. Although Mable (and Alves) depends on an amendment to the Land Use Diagram of the Specific Plan, the overall pattern of development remains in line with the residential type of development envisioned by the Specific Plan document.
(4) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Staff Review: The area of the Specific Plan is flat and formerly utilized as orchard and pastureland. There are no physical impediments to development not previously documented by the Specific Plan and analyzed and mitigated by the TSP Final EIR. The Mitigation measures for the proposed density of development #30..

Mable-Tivoli Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to divide 22.8 acres into 92 single-family residential lots
has been anticipated and discussed in the Tivoli Specific Plan Final EIR SCH # 2005072125.
(5) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Staff Review: The design of the tentative maps is in accordance with the Specific Plan, and all environmental impacts have been analyzed and mitigated by the Tivoli Specific Plan Final EIR. The proposed projects are reviewed in the FEIR Addendum C&EA 2026-003 and attached to the staff report. No significant impact resulted from these project proposals that warrant changes or additions to the previously certified EIR were found.
(6) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
Staff review: The design of the tentative maps is in accordance with the Tivoli Specific Plan, and all environmental impacts have been analyzed and mitigated by the Tivoli Specific Plan Final EIR. The improvements and design of the subdivision is to ensure promoting healthy communities with multi-modal transportation and easy navigation and access to nearby schools and facilities, thereby allowing for better living environments for the future occupants of the homes. (7) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Staff Review: Conditions of approval for the three tentative maps would ensure that public utility and right-of-way easements would be provided. Standard conditions applied to all three tentative maps regarding utility facilities would ensure that such facilities be protected, relocated or removed as required, and easements for facilities to remain are to be reserved as required.
Specific Plan Amendment No. 8
The project proposes to amend the land use diagram of the Specific Plan by changing two gross acres designated as Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1-3 dwelling units per acre) into Low Density Residential (LDR-12, 4-8 dwelling units per acre). See Figure No. 1, below.
Together with the proposed amendment No. 7 to the Specific Plan to change six gross acres from Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18-24 dwelling units per acre) into Low Density Residential (LDR-13, 4-8 dwelling units per acre) associated with the Alves-Tivoli project, and the lot count proposed by the #30..

SB 330 Analysis
Government Code section 66300 (often referred to as SB 330) regulates the City’s ability to “downzone” residential properties. Section 66300(b)(1) states, in part, that a city “shall not enact a development policy, standard, or condition” that has the effect of reducing a site’s “residential development capacity.” Section 66300(h) provides an exception to this rule, allowing a city to change a land use designation or zoning ordinance to a less intensive use if the city “concurrently” changes “the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to other parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity.” When the proposed reduction in residential capacity is proposed by an applicant for a housing project, as it is here, “concurrently” means within 180 days of the decision to downzone.
SB 330 does not define residential “capacity.” As such, this analysis examines the potential for the project to change residential capacity in two ways. First, the analysis examines residential capacity based on the maximum residential density allowed under the various land use designations. Second, the analysis examines residential capacity as a function of the number of units actually built plus the #30..

City Council, April 7, 2026
Mable-Tivoli Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to divide 22.8 acres into 92 single-family residential lots
anticipated units to be built from the proposed changes and compares that number of units to the anticipated number of units under the original approvals. Under both analyses, there is no net loss in residential capacity.
Maximum Density
Specific Plan No. 7 proposes to amend the Land Use Diagram, changing 6 gross acres of MHDR-5 to LDR-13. MHDR has a residential density of 18-24 density units (“du”)/acre, which over 6 acres equates to 144 maximum units. LDR has a residential density of 4-8 du/acre, which over 6 acres equates to 48 maximum units. Therefore, the changes proposed by Specific Plan No. 7 would result in a capacity loss of 96 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
The City’s proposed General Plan Amendment proposes to change 8 acres of Low Density Residential back to Regional Serving Commercial. 8 acres of LDR equates to 64 maximum dwelling units. Regional Serving Commercial does not allow for residential uses, so the General Plan Amendment would result in a capacity loss of 64 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
Combined, Specific Plan No. 7 and the General Plan amendment would result in the capacity loss of 160 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
On November 24, 2025, within 180 days of the Council’s decision on this project, the City completed the annexation and rezoning of the Founders Point East area of the City. (See Stanislaus County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) Resolution 2025-15; LAFCO Certificate of Completion, dated November 24, 2025.) In the Founders Point East project, the City rezoned approximately 70 acres (63.6 net acres) from Business Park to a residential use with an average density of 6.6 du/acre. This results in an upzoning of approximately 420 units.
In addition, the Tivoli Mable project, also under consideration by the Council at the same meeting as this project, proposes to upzone 2 acres of very low density residential, at 1-3 du/acre, to low density residential, at 4-8 du/acre. If approved, the Tivoli Mable project, would result in an increase in residential capacity of 10 units.
Combined, the Founders Point East and Tivoli Mable projects would result in a net increase in residential capacity of 430 units. Thus, under SB 330, this is more than sufficient to accommodate the loss of 160 units of the combined Specific Plan No. 7 and General Plan amendment (net increase of 270 units). #30..

Public Notice and Outreach
The proposed project was noticed in the local Modesto Bee Newspaper with a 20- day notice in addition to a 300 ft radius notice to all properties surrounding the subject parcels under consideration for the project.
Neighborhood Outreach
Mable Avenue is an existing street that extends east of Oakdale Road and currently terminates approximately one-third of a mile east of Oakdale Road. There are eight existing homes on Mable Avenue in addition to an existing veterinary clinic at the southeast corner of Oakdale Road and Mable Avenue with access onto Oakdale Road. The applicant representative, David Romano, has held discussions with the residents on Mable Avenue regarding the proposed developments.
Per the TSP Street Hierarchy Diagram and policies in Chapter 3 of the TSP, Mable Avenue is to connect to a future collector street extending south from future Claratina Avenue and bounding the future neighborhood park to the east. Its existing connection to Oakdale Road is to be closed with only emergency vehicle access allowed, upon commercial development at the northwest corner of Oakdale Road and Mable Avenue. Until commercial development commences, the roadway would remain open to Oakdale Road.
The neighborhood has expressed concerns about construction traffic impacting the existing street. However, if any of the three tentative maps are approved, development of those tentative maps would also involve the extension of future Claratina Avenue and the extension of a future collector street connecting to Bridgewood Way east of Aria Way. Construction traffic currently accesses the area via Aria Way as part of the Snow and Arcadia developments, already underway. The project is conditioned to mitigate the construction traffic impact on the existing streets.
During the February 23, 2026 Planning Commission hearing, residents of Mable Avenue were also in attendance, who reiterated the above concerns.
After the Commission hearing, Planning staff met with the residents to further discuss and address concerns. The residents primarily had three concerns:
timing of the Mable Avenue improvements, single-story homes adjacent to the current homes on Mable Avenue, and a seven (7) foot wooden fence adjacent to the current properties. The project applicant and the neighbors have agreed to the following conditions post discussions:
1. As part of the Paregian Phase 1 improvement plans, the developer shall be responsible for the design of the full roadway improvements consistent with the Tivoli Specific Plan for Mable Avenue from Oakdale Road on the #30..

west to project limits on the east, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
2. As part of the Paregian Phase 1 improvement plans, the developer shall design and construct a one-tenth of a foot (0.1') Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement overlay for length of the Mable Avenue, from Oakdale Road on the west to the project limits on the east, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. The AC pavement for Mable shall be constructed with the Paregian Phase 1 improvements.
3. Future residential development of Lots 31, 41, lot C, lot 3, 29, 9, 8 and 7 will be subject to the City’s second story review process and is required to conform to the City of Modesto’s Neighborhood Compatibility Guidelines
4. Developer is responsible for constructing a 7ft high wooden fence on the entire length of the Mable subdivision adjacent to the existing Mable Avenue rear and side property lines. This includes and is not limited to property lines of proposed subdivision labelled lot 31, 41, lot C, 29, 30, 8 and 9
FISCAL IMPACT:
All application fees and environmental review fees for this item have been paid by the project applicants in accordance with the fee schedule adopted by the City Council. In addition, the projects will be subject to all applicable adopted development fees prior to building permit issuance to offset the City’s fiscal impact of development.
Recommended conditions of approval included with the attached resolutions would require the owners of the properties to annex into the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2024-1 prior to recordation of Final Maps, to facilitate the property owners’ contributions towards the Tivoli Specific Plan area improvements that would serve future development and maintenance of amenities on the development sites.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The item was considered by the Planning Commission at their regularly scheduled February 23, 2026 hearing, who recommended approval of the project on a 6-1 vote.
CEQA/NEPA REQUIREMENTS:
The project was previously analyzed in the TSP Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2005072125), certified by the City Council on February 26, 2008, by Resolution No. 2008-141.

#30..
- 1762 -
04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
64. Air Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure E.1): The construction plans for each group of building permits shall incorporate the following recommendations from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to minimize emissions during construction phases:
a. The project developers shall review Regulation VIII of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District regulations and submit a compliance plan to the City of Modesto prior to commencing any phase of construction. The compliance plan must demonstrate that the current requirements of Regulation VIII will be implemented. Compliance plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Community and Economic Development
Department prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit, whichever occurs first.
b. Prior to the issuance of construction contracts, the project developers shall perform a review of new technology, as it relates to heavy-duty equipment, to determine what, if any, advances in emissions reduction are available for use. It is anticipated that in the near future both NOx and PM10 control equipment will be available. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District should be consulted during this process.

66. Noise (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure F.2a): Design and implement new barriers for noise control at exterior locations of proposed residential development adjacent to major roadways. Prior to building permit issuance of each project, construction plans shall show all noise control features are included. The noise control features shall be installed prior to certificate of occupancy.
67. Hazards (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure G.2): Conduct Phase I Environmental Site Assessments prior to issuance of grading or building permit, whichever occurs first. Remediation shall be implemented prior to issuance of grading or building permit or as determined by the Phase I ESA.
68. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.4): Applicant shall conduct pre-construction surveys to avoid nest disturbance. (See pp. IV.H.15-IV.H.16 for more detail.)
69. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.5):
Compensation for loss of foraging habitat. The entire Tivoli project could result in the loss of up to 297.5 acres of foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks. The Project Biologist will determine the actual acreage of suitable foraging habitat related to the development of the Arcadia property, and that loss shall be mitigated by providing offsite Habitat Management (HM) lands as described in the CDFG’s Staff Report regarding Mitigation for Impacts to Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo Swainson) in the Central Valley of California because the site was confirmed to be foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks through direct observation and is likely within ten miles of an active nest (used during one or more of the last five years).
The acreage of off-site management lands to be provided will depend on the distance between the project site and the nearest active nest site.
The 1994 CDFG staff report states:
a. Projects within one mile of an active nest tree shall provide:
i. One acre of HM land (at least 10% of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement allowing for the active management of the habitat, with the remaining 90% of the HM lands protected by a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] on agricultural lands or #30..
- 1765 -
04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawk) for each acre of development authorized (1:1 ratio); or One-half acre of HM land (all of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] which allows for the active management of the habitat for prey production on the HM lands) for each acre of development authorized (0.5:1 ratio).
ii. Projects within 5 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 1 mile from the nest tree shall provide 0.75 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.75:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iii. Projects within 10 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 5 miles from an active nest tree shall provide 0.5 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.5:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the Department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iv. Management Authorization holders/project sponsors shall provide for the long-term management of the HM lands by funding a management endowment (the interest on which shall be used for managing the HM lands) at the rate of $400 per HM acre. Current records within the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) are more than five years old, so they alone cannot be used to confirm a mitigation ratio for the loss of approximately 38 acres of foraging habitat related to the Arcadia Properties Tivoli project. The CNDDB records do, however, provide guidance.
The mitigation ratio depends on whether the project site is within one of three zones: 1) less than a mile; 2) between one and five miles; or 3) between five and ten miles. Nests have been recorded within the riparian habitats along both the Stanislaus River and Tuolumne River within ten miles of the project site.
Even though the existing records along these rivers are more than five years old, active unpublished nests along these rivers within the last five years are nearly certain to have occurred. Therefore, this analysis assumes that active Swainson’s Hawks nests are present within ten miles of the project site.
v. Nest season surveys for Swainson’s Hawks should be conducted to confirm whether an active nest occurs within one of the closer zones. Assuming that nests are present within ten miles, however, reduces the area requiring nest-season surveys from #30..

04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
314.2 square miles to 78.5 square miles; the area within 5 miles of the project site.
70. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6a):
Implementation of formal CDFW guidelines (Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation) to avoid and minimize impacts to Burrowing Owls. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a habitat assessment in accordance with CDFW guidelines for Burrowing Owls should be completed prior to the start of construction. Burrowing Owl habitat on the project site and within a 500-foot (150 m) buffer zone should be assessed. If the habitat assessment concludes that the site and immediate vicinity lack suitable Burrowing Owl habitat, no additional action would be warranted. However, if suitable habitat is located on, or immediately adjacent to, the site, all Burrowing Owl habitat should be mapped at an appropriate scale, and the following mitigation measures should be implemented:
a. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a pre-construction survey for Burrowing Owls, in conformance with CDFW guidelines, should be
completed no more than 30 days prior to the start of construction within suitable habitat. Three additional surveys should also be completed per CDFW guidelines prior to construction.
b. No Burrowing Owls will be evicted from burrows during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31). Eviction outside the nesting season may be permitted pending evaluation of eviction plans and receipt of formal written approval from the CDFW authorizing the eviction.
c. A 250-foot (76 m) buffer, within which no new activity will be permissible, will be maintained between project activities and nesting Burrowing Owls during the nesting season. This
protected area will remain in effect until August 31, or at the CDFW’s discretion and based upon monitoring evidence, until the young owls are foraging independently.
d. If accidental take (disturbance, injury, or death of owls) occurs, the CDFW will be notified immediately.
71. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6b):
Compensation for loss of Burrowing Owl habitat. If pre-construction surveys determine that Burrowing Owls occupy the site and avoiding development of occupied areas is not feasible, then habitat compensation on off-site mitigation lands should be implemented.
Habitat Management (HM) lands comprising existing Burrowing Owl foraging and breeding habitat should be acquired and preserved. An area of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) (the amount of land found to be necessary to sustain a pair or individual owl) should be secured for each pair of #30..
- 1767 -
04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
owls, or individual in the case of an odd number of birds. As part of an agreement with the CDFW, the project applicant should secure the performance of its mitigation duties by providing the CDFW with security in the form of funds that would:
a. Allow for the acquisition and/or preservation of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) of HM lands;
b. Provide initial protection and enhancement activities on the HM lands, potentially including, but not limited to, such measures as fencing, trash clean-up, artificial burrow creation, grazing or mowing, and any habitat restoration deemed necessary by CDFW;
c. Establish an endowment for the long-term management of the HM lands; and
d. Reimburse the CDFW for reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the approval and implementation of this agreement.
72. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.1):
The project proponent shall prepare a SWPPP for each development project under the Specific Plan (or one master SWPPP for all development) designed to reduce potential impacts to surface water quality through the construction period of all of the project components (whether or not the particular portion of the project disturbs more than one acre). The SWPPP shall emphasize measures designed to minimize erosion and off-site sedimentation. It is not required that the SWPPP be submitted to the RWQCB, but must be maintained on-site and made available to RWQCB staff upon request. The SWPPP shall include:
a. Specific and detailed BMPs designed to mitigate constructionrelated pollutants. At minimum, BMPs shall include practices to minimize the contact of construction materials, equipment, and maintenance supplies (e.g., fuels, lubricants, paints, solvents, adhesives) with storm water. The SWPPP shall specify properly designed, centralized storage areas that keep these materials out of the rain.
b. An important component of the storm water quality protection effort is knowledge of the site supervisors and workers. To educate on-site personnel and maintain awareness of the importance of storm water quality protection, site supervisors shall conduct regular tailgate meetings to discuss pollution prevention.
The frequency of the meetings and required personnel
attendance list shall be specified in the SWPPP.
c. The City staff shall review and approve project SWPPP prior to developer obtaining a Grading and Building Permit. Project SWPPP shall include and adequately address all elements in the #30..

04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
State General Construction Permit (Waste Discharge
Requirements for Discharges of Stormwater Runoff Associated with Construction Activity, State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 99-08-DWQ).
d. BMPs designed to reduce erosion of exposed soil may include, but are not limited to, soil stabilization controls, watering for dust control, perimeter silt fences, placement of hay bales, and sediment basins. The potential for erosion is generally increased if grading is performed during the rainy season as disturbed soil can be exposed to rainfall and storm runoff. If grading must be conducted during the rainy season, the primary BMPs selected shall focus on erosion control; that is, keeping sediment on the site. End-of-pipe sediment control measures (e.g., basins and traps) shall be used only as secondary measures. Entry and egress from the excavation area shall be carefully controlled to minimize off-site tracking of sediment. Vehicle and equipment wash-down facilities shall be designed to be accessible and functional during both dry and wet conditions.
73. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.2):
The City shall ensure that development under the proposed project meets all the requirements of the current Municipal NPDES Permit (NPDES Permit No. R5-2002-0132 as amended by Order No. R5- 2003-0182) for operation-phase water quality treatment. The drainage plan for each proposed development under the Specific Plan shall include features and operational BMPs to reduce potential impacts to surface water quality associated with operation of the project. The final design shall include measures designed to mitigate potential water quality degradation of runoff from all portions of the completed development. In general, “passive,” low-maintenance BMPs (e.g., grassy swales, porous pavements) are preferred over active filtering or treatment systems. An operations and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented to inspect and maintain BMPs in perpetuity.
The final design team for the development project shall review and incorporate as many concepts as practicable from the City’s Guidance Manual for New Development Stormwater Quality Control Measures, Start at the Source, Design Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Protection and the California Stormwater Quality Association’s Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook, Development and Redevelopment. BMPs to be implemented by the developers within the plan area may include, but are not limited to, the BMPs described below for the construction and operation phases of the projects:
During the Construction Phase:

04/07/2026/CED/Jhill/Item x 2026-xx
a. Erosion control BMPs may include preservation of existing vegetation, use of hydraulic mulch, hydroseeding, soil binders, earth dikes and drainage swales, velocity dissipation devices and implementation of channel bank stabilization techniques; b. Temporary sediment control BMPs may include use of silt fences, sediment traps, sediment basins, check dams, fiber rolls, and drainage inlet protection;
During the Operation Phase:
c. Permanent operation-phase BMPs may include: minimization of directly connected impervious surfaces, use of permeable pavements or unit pavers, grassy bioswales, stormwater planters, covering of refuse handling areas, stenciling drainage inlets, wet ponds, and detention basins.
At a minimum, runoff from all components of the project shall receive some level of treatment prior to discharging to the detention basins.
Runoff would then be detained in the basins prior to being pumped into the Modesto Irrigation District’s canal.
74. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.3b):
As a condition of approval of the final grading and drainage plans for all projects proposed within the plan area it must be demonstrated through detailed hydraulic analysis that implementation of the proposed drainage plans will:
a. Include adequately sized detention facilities to accommodate anticipated runoff associated with the 100-year storm event. A licensed professional engineer shall prepare the final drainage plan for the project and plans must be submitted to the City of Modesto Public Works for review and approval.
b. Include drainage components that are designed in compliance with City of Modesto standards. The grading and drainage plans shall be reviewed for compliance with these requirements by the Department of Public Works; and
c. Establish a funding mechanism for maintenance and annual inspections of the detention basin, drainage ditches, and drainage inlets. Any accumulation of sediment or other debris shall be promptly removed. An annual report documenting the inspection and any remedial action conducted shall be submitted to the City of Modesto Public Works Department for review.
75. Developer shall comply with Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.4, Hydrology and Water Quality, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or designee.
76. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.8):

EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project 1 1 INTRODUCTION
This Addendum was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. This document has been prepared to serve as an Addendum to the previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse [SCH] # 2005072125) for the Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) Project (Original Project), certified on February 26, 2008. The City of Modesto is the lead agency for the proposed amendments/modifications to the Original Project.
The proposed Project includes modifications to the Original Project within six “Development SubAreas” of the TSP Area, with each being owned/controlled by three different Project Applicants (Alves, Mable, and Paregian). The six Development Sub-Areas are adjacent to one another and closely intertwined with circulation and utility plans for the TSP. As such, the three applications are being reviewed collectively as one proposed Project under this EIR Addendum. The six Development Sub-Areas include: VLDR-1, VLDR 3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5. In addition, the City is processing a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP. The proposed modifications are described in more detail below.
For the City to consider an amendment to the Original Project, the City must ensure that, if needed, environmental review consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines has been completed. Because the City has previously complied with CEQA for the Original Project and the new discretionary action before the City would be a change in an already-approved project, the City can rely on information in the certified EIR previously prepared for the Original Project, to the extent they remain adequate. Consistent with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City must, therefore, determine whether any changed circumstances or “new information of substantial importance” will trigger the need for a subsequent EIR.
As described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously adopted EIR if some changes or additions to an EIR certified for a project are necessary, but none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred. No subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, based on substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following conditions to be applicable:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or #30..

EIR ADDENDUM
2 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
If any of the triggers set forth above occurs, the City would be required to prepare a subsequent EIR, unless “only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation,” in which case a “supplement to an EIR” would suffice (see CEQA Guidelines, Section 15163). If there are no grounds for either a subsequent EIR or a supplement to an EIR, then the City must prepare an addendum pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, explaining why “some changes or additions” to the EIR “are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.”
As demonstrated in the environmental analysis provided in Section 4 (Environmental Analysis), the proposed changes do not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent EIR or negative declaration.
An addendum is appropriate here because, as explained in Section 4, none of the conditions calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred.
Information and technical analyses from the EIR are utilized throughout this Addendum. Relevant passages from this document (consisting of the EIR) are cited and available for review at:

2 PROJECT BACKGROUND/PURPOSE OF THE EIR ADDENDUM
The TSP was approved by the City Council in 2008. Since certification of the EIR, much of the 454- acre area has developed with a mix of uses. The following describes the original project.
ORIGINAL PROJECT
The Original Project consisted of adoption and implementation of the TSP which included the development of 454 acres. The Original Project consists of approximately 286 acres of residential land use, totaling 3,241 residential dwelling units, 14 acres of neighborhood-serving commercial, 6 acres of general commercial, 67 acres of regional-serving commercial, 2 acres of professional office space, a 14-acre elementary school site, about 30 acres of parks and open space, 4 acres of public infrastructure, and about 31 acres of interior collector roadways within the Specific Plan area. The Original Project also includes provisions to improve existing traffic and circulation conditions, with construction of new arterial and collector streets for vehicular circulation and linkages to the existing circulation system and transit services.
LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES
The TSP area is located on the northeastern edge of the City of Modesto. Modesto is located approximately 30 miles southeast of Stockton, 70 miles south of Sacramento, and 80 miles east of Oakland. Nearby Central Valley communities include Salida, Ripon, and Manteca to the northwest, Riverbank to the north, and Ceres, Turlock, and Merced to the south.
The TSP is located about four miles northeast of Modesto’s downtown core. State Route 99 is located six miles to the west. Kiernan Avenue (State Route 219) is one mile to the north. The site is bounded by the planned Claratina Avenue extension on the north, Oakdale Road on the west, Sylvan Avenue on the south, and Roselle Avenue on the east.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The TSP was intended to achieve comprehensive master planning and orderly development of the TSP project site, consistent with the policies of the City of Modesto. The following specific objectives have been identified for the TSP:
1. To foster distinctive, attractive developments with a strong sense of place.
2. To provide development consistent with the Neotraditional Planning Principles provided in Section III-C (3) of the Modesto Urban Area General Plan. The primary concept is to provide a complete and integrated community with housing, work places, commercial and retail services, schools, parks, and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the residents.
3. To create a range of housing opportunities and choices with multi-family and/or affordable housing in compliance with the regional housing needs consistent with the Housing Element.

4. To enhance the City’s economic base through increased sales tax revenue.
5. To provide a regional commercial development to serve the east side of the City in a timely manner. To locate regional commercial development along or near regional transportation corridors.
6. To provide commercial and institutional services and employment on the east side of the City to reduce travel time
7. To provide acceptable levels of traffic service on roadways consistent with the General Plan policies and Level of Service standards.
8. To create neighborhoods that encourage pedestrian and bicycle use and link to the commercial, school, and park sites.
9. To ensure public facilities and services are adequately planned and provided with development.
10. To ensure that a financing plan is provided with funding mechanisms for the provision of adequate public facilities and services.
TSP CHARACTERISTICS
Consideration and adoption of the TSP also included consideration of the following actions:
1. Adoption of a General Plan Amendment that includes the following:
o To reclassify a portion of the project site from Village Residential (VR) to Regional Commercial (RC).
o To allow commercial development for the Village Residential designation in the TSP to exceed the recommended 4 percent.
o To allow for the TSP neighborhood center focus that combines a neighborhood park and elementary school.
o To reclassify Claratina Avenue from a four-lane Class B Expressway to a six-lane Principal Arterial with a Class I bike path from Oakdale Road to Roselle Avenue. o To change Sylvan Avenue from a six-lane Principal Arterial to a four-lane Minor Arterial with bike lanes from Oakdale Road to Roselle Avenue. o To include Class II bike lanes along Oakdale Road from Sylvan Avenue to Claribel Avenue.
o To amend the Roselle/Claribel Comprehensive Planning District to allow the TSP to exceed the minimum recommended density of 5.1 units per gross acre.
2. Prezoning of the project site to a Specific Plan Overlay. #30..

3. Annexation of the project site into the City of Modesto including approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission.
4. Adoption of a Facilities Master Plan and an Infrastructure Finance Plan for the TSP area.
5. Formation of a Community Facilities District to fund the construction of “backbone” public infrastructure, maintenance of applicable public facilities, and applicable public services.
6. Approval of a Development Agreement to guide development within the TSP area.
7. Subsequent entitlements, including abandonment of a portion of Mable Avenue, approval of Area Plans, Final Development Plans, tentative maps, Conditional Use Permits, and other City entitlement approvals.
PREVIOUS TSP APPROVALS
As part of the Original Project, the City undertook the following actions:
• Certified the TSP EIR;
• Adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project; and • Approved the TSP.
It is noted that since the TSP was approved, the City has approved several modifications. This includes modifications to Oakdale Road and Claratina Avenue design, which has modifications to the intersections (i.e. roundabouts in lieu of signals), as well as the road section changes that better accommodate the roundabouts and traffic volumes. Additionally, the City has approved various modifications to land uses in several “Development Sub-Areas” within the TSP area. One such modification occurred in 2022 associated with a portion of the Project site as described below:
2022 TSP Arcadia Project (Downzone of MDR-2 and MDR-3)
On April 5, 2022, the Arcadia Development Company submitted a multi-part application to implement the development of Tivoli Area Plan No. 7, generally located north of the existing City of Modesto water well and storage site and southeast of the future Aria Way. The application included a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Final Development Plan to develop the northerly 29.3 gross acres of the Area Plan into 141 single-family residential lots, of which 68 lots are small-lot residential lots. The overall density of the tentative subdivision map was 5.85 units per acre. The area was defined as MDR-2 and MDR-3 in the TSP, but the proposed density of the Arcadia project warranted a downzoning from MDR to LDR.
Pursuant to SB 330, the proposal required the City to provide a concurrent replacement of housing capacity elsewhere in the jurisdiction to make up for the change in capacity associated with the downzoning. The City replaced the MDR use by amending the 29-acre site to LDR, and amending a 25-acre site located in the northwestern part of the TSP from Regional Commercial (RC) to Residential (R) under a GPA. These 25 acres were also designated as Regional Serving Commercial (RSC-1) in the TSP, however, the TSP amendment only changed 17 acres to Low Density Residential #30..

EIR ADDENDUM
6 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project (LDR-13), and the balance (8 acres) remained RSC-1. The GPA and TSP amendment resulted in an inconsistency between the General Plan and Tivoli Specific Plan and the City intends to reconcile the inconsistency in this EIR Addendum.
To reconcile the 8-acre mapping inconsistency between the GP and TSP, the City has performed an analysis of the capacity needed from the original Arcadia downzoning relative to the actual capacity provided in the two areas that replaced the original MDR from the Arcadia site. The following Table shows three scenarios analyzed: 1) Original Arcadia Site; 2) Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity; and 3) Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity.

Replacement Capacity Discussion:
Original Arcadia Site: The original Arcadia site had a density range of 8-18 for the original MDR-2 and -3 sites. This allowed for a housing capacity of between 234-527 dwelling units as defined by the TSP.
Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity: The replacement of MDR-2, and -3 resulted in the creation of LDR-15 and -13 in the TSP. The Arcadia project constructed an "Actual" dwelling units count of #30..
- 1800 -
EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project EA C&ED No. 2026-03 7
141 units within LDR-15. This left a balance needed of between 93 and 386 dwelling units to maintain the original capacity of the Arcadia site. It is noted that the replacement created a mapping inconsistency between the General Plan and TSP, wherein 25 acres of RC was changed to R in the General Plan and only 17.4 acres of RSC-1 was changed to LDR. This left a discrepancy of approximately 8 acres that remained RSC-1 in the TSP but was changed to R in the GP.
Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity: The 17.4 acres redesignated as LDR-13 in the TSP is proposed to be subdivided in 99 units. Combing 141 units built in LDR-15 and the proposed 99 units in LDR-13, the combined "actual" units would be 240 units which is collectively intended to replace the capacity lost from the original Arcadia downzoning. Compared to the original capacity of MDR2 and -3 (234 to 527 units), and the combined capacity of LDR-13 and LDR-15 meet the replacement need within the 8-acre discrepancy that is in question.
Conclusion: The analysis of the three scenarios above (1) Original Arcadia Site; 2) Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity; and 3) Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity) shows that the original capacity of the Arcadia site has been met/replaced through the actual units constructed in LDR-15 (141 units), in addition to the proposed subdivision of 17.4 acres into 99 units in LDR-13. This resulted in 240 units, which is within the capacity originally anticipated for the MDR-2 and MDR-3 Arcadia site. The analysis shows that the 8-acre discrepancy that was GP designated as R, even though it remained designated as RSC-1 in the TSP, is not warranted to meet the original replacement capacity needs of the Arcadia project. Given that the residual 8 acres in question is not needed for replacement capacity, and the City intends to reconcile the GP/TSP inconsistency through a GPA that would change the GP land use back to RC. The TSP land use would remain RSC1.
3. PROPOSED PROJECT
Proposed Modifications
The proposed Project includes modifications to the Original Project within six “Development SubAreas” of the TSP Area, with each being owned/controlled by three different Project Applicants (Alves, Mable, and Paregian). The six Development Sub-Areas are adjacent to one another and closely intertwined with circulation and utility plans for the TSP. As such, the three applications are being reviewed collectively as one proposed Project under this EIR Addendum. The six Development Sub-Areas include: VLDR-1, VLDR 3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5. The gross acreage of these Sub-Areas is 65.4 acres, and the blended density ranges from 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre. The blended density would result in between 330 and 583 units within the six Sub-Areas.
In addition, the proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site. The GPA would change the land use from Residential (R) to Regional Commercial (RC), which was the original land use prior to 2022. The modification does not warrant a change to the TSP given that the current TSP land use is Regional Service Commercial (RSC-1). The GPA is intended to ensure that the GP and TSP are internally consistent. Any development of the 8 acres is subject to site plan review and individual environmental clearance/review. The land use change is a City administrative #30..

8 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project reconciliation action, and is not an entitlement action for construction brought by a developer/applicant.
The proposed Project has 55.5 net developable acres after accounting for ROW/land dedication for Clarantina Avenue, K Street, Mable Avenue, Bridgeway, and a Park/Basin. The proposed Project includes land use modifications to Development Sub-Areas VLDR-3 and MHDR-5. This includes changing the Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1–3 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR12, 4–8 du/acre), and the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18–24 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-13, 4–8 du/acre). The total units proposed to be developed over all Development Sub-Areas after the land use change is 343 residential units, consisting of low-density residential and very low-density residential units. The blended density of the combined proposed Project is 6.2 units per acre, which is within the blended density for the six Development Sub-Areas combined. The table below presents the existing development potential compared to the proposed development.

Figures 2, 3, and 4 provide the proposed site plans for each of the three applications which are described below as follows:
Alves
The proposed Project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to the TSP land use diagram to redesignate approximately six acres within the Alves area from Medium High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18–24 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-13, 4–8 du/acre). This amendment is intended to reflect the development pattern envisioned for the area and maintain consistency with surrounding low-density residential neighborhoods. In accordance with Section 9.4 of the Specific Plan, the Project includes preparation of Area Plan No. 1, establishing detailed development parameters, circulation layouts, block structure, and utility infrastructure requirements for the Alves planning area. The project proposes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 26.3 acres into 141 single-family residential lots, along with offsite improvements along Clarantina Avenue, Mable Avenue, K Street, and internal streets, and public utility easements as shown in the subdivision map. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of #30..
- 1802 -
EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project EA C&ED No. 2026-03 9
the Specific Plan, is included to ensure that site design, access, lot configuration, pedestrian connectivity, and neighborhood circulation comply with applicable Specific Plan standards and City development regulations. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Alves project site is shown in Figure 2. The proposed amendment is shown in Figure 7.
Mable
The proposed Project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to modify the TSP land use diagram by redesignating approximately two acres within the Mable area from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1–3 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-12, 4–8 du/acre) to better align with planned development patterns and facilitate an efficient subdivision layout. Consistent with Section 9.4 of the Specific Plan, the Project also includes preparation of the Area Plan No. 4 document to establish development standards, circulation, and infrastructure parameters for the Mable planning area. The project proposes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 22.8 acres into 92 single-family residential lots, along with offsite improvements along Bridgewood Way and Mable Avenue, and internal streets, and public utility easements as shown in the subdivision map. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of the Specific Plan, is included as part of the Project to ensure site design, access, and improvements are consistent with Specific Plan requirements and City development standards. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Mable project site is shown in Figure 3. The proposed amendment is shown in Figure 7.
Paregian
The proposed Project includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 17.4 acres designated for Low Density Residential (LDR) development into 99 singlefamily residential lots. In addition, the Project would subdivide approximately 5.4 acres designated for Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) development into 11 single-family residential lots, resulting in a total of 110 lots within the Peregian planning area. The subdivision design includes offsite improvements along Claratina Avenue and Mable Avenue, and internal streets, and utility and infrastructure improvements needed to support the proposed residential development. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of the TSP, is included to ensure that neighborhood layout, circulation, and development standards are consistent with the Specific Plan and City of Modesto regulations. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Peregian project site is shown in Figure 4.
GP/TSP Reconciliation (8 acres)
The proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site. The area in question is illustrated on Figure 6. The GPA would change the land use from Residential (R) to Regional Commercial (RC). The modification does not warrant a change to the TSP given that the current TSP land use is Regional Service Commercial (RSC-1). The GPA is intended to ensure that the GP and TSP are internally consistent.
An evaluation of the 8-acre site shows that the discrepancy was created in 2022 in association with an SB 330 action to replace capacity lost from a downzoning action within the TSP (Arcadia project).
The action resulted in 17.4 acres in the TSP being changed from RSC-1 to LDR-13, in addition to the development site being changed from MDR-2, and -3 to LDR-15. However, an extra 8 acres #30..
- 1803 -
EIR ADDENDUM
10 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project immediately adjacent to the LDR-13 site was the subject of the GPA that changed the land use from RC to R. An evaluation of the actual capacity provided from development in the replacement areas (LDR-13, and -15) shows that adequate capacity was provided (240 units built) and that the 8 acres in question is not needed as replacement capacity for the original project. Given that the residual 8 acres in question is not needed for replacement capacity, the City intends to reconcile the GP/TSP inconsistency through a GPA that would change the GP land use back to the original designation of RC, which is consistent with the TSP land use would remain RSC-1.
Surrounding Uses
Urban development associated with the City of Modesto is located to the south and west of the project sites, including established residential neighborhoods, local roadways, and communityserving commercial uses. To the east, land uses consist of low-intensity rural residential parcels and small commercial operations, such as the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer along Roselle Avenue. To the north and northwest, surrounding uses remain predominantly agricultural, including open fields, orchards, and limited rural service uses such as the Village Oak Veterinary Hospital. Overall, the project area is situated at the interface between Modesto’s urban edge and the surrounding agricultural lands, with land use intensity increasing toward Sylvan Avenue and the western boundary.
Existing Uses
The project area consists primarily of undeveloped or cultivated agricultural land, characterized by large open fields with minimal built structures. Existing on-site uses are limited and generally rural in nature, with scattered agricultural operations and a small number of rural residential or ancillary structures. The landscape is largely open, with visibly defined field boundaries and limited roadway infrastructure within the interior of the site. No substantial urban development, commercial activity, or public facilities are present within the project footprint.
Characteristics of the Modified Project
The Modified Project consists of a blending of six Development Sub-Areas into a single cohesive project. This blending of the areas includes a reduction in density for the Alves SPA, and an increase in density on the Mable SPA. The total blended density is within the expected density range for the six Development Sub-Areas as defined in the TSP.

Analysis of Impacts Found to be Less Than Significant
Specific impacts within the following categories of environmental effects were found to be less than significant as set forth in more detail in the certified EIR. Following each bullet is a conclusion on whether the proposed revision changes the impact conclusion found in the original EIR.
Section A: Land Use & Planning
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). Like the original project, it has the potential to affect land use as analyzed in Section A of the certified Draft EIR. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. There are several relevant General Plan goals and policies that will remain applicable to the modified project. The project is consistent with those goals and policies. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section B: Agricultural Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas but does not expand the overall development footprint or introduce new areas of disturbance beyond those evaluated in the certified Draft EIR. As analyzed in Section B, Agricultural Resources, of the certified EIR, the original project anticipated the conversion of agricultural land within the TSP area to urban residential uses, consistent with the City’s long-range planning framework. The proposed Project does not increase the total acreage of agricultural land conversion, alter the extent of farmland designation impacts, or affect additional agricultural operations beyond those previously disclosed. No new Williamson Act contract lands are affected, and the #30..

modifications do not change the relationship between the project area and adjacent agricultural uses. Accordingly, the proposed Project does not result in new or more severe impacts to agricultural resources compared to the original project, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section C: Visual Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5), but does not substantially change the visual character evaluated in the certified EIR. As with the original project, development would consist of residential neighborhoods with similar building heights, massing, setbacks, and architectural character envisioned under the TSP.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar building heights, massing, setbacks, and architectural character envisioned under the TSP.
While minor changes may incrementally alter localized views within the project area, these changes would not introduce new sources of visual contrast or modify the overall visual framework of the TSP. The proposed Project would continue to transition from existing and planned residential uses and open space in a manner consistent with the approved urban design and landscaping standards, and no new visually sensitive receptors or scenic vistas would be affected beyond those previously analyzed. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section D: Transportation and Circulation
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
Transportation and circulation impacts are affected by changes to land use densities and types. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.

This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar trip generation and VMT as envisioned under the TSP.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. There are several relevant General Plan goals and policies that will remain applicable to the modified project. The project is consistent with those goals and policies. Additionally, Mitigation Measure D.2, D.4, D.6, were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project.
These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not create significant changes to the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant with mitigation that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section E: Air Quality
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). As with the original project, emissions during project operation would primarily be associated with vehicular traffic and minor stationary sources, which could expose sensitive receptors to criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants (TACs), locally elevate carbon monoxide concentrations, and result in occasional emissions of objectionable odors. As discussed above under Section D: Transportation and Circulation, changes to land use densities and types can affect traffic impacts. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar trip generation and VMT as envisioned under the TSP. This will translate into similar emissions as originally anticipated, although improvements in vehicle fleet and other emission sources have improved significantly since the original EIR and are expected to be much lower.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, #30..

circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposed modifications would remain within the thresholds assessed in the certified EIR and would not introduce new sources of emissions or increase concentrations beyond previously analyzed levels. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in a new or more severe impact related to operational air quality. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section F: Noise
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). Like the original project, the modified project has the same potential to generate short-term construction noise and long-term operational noise. Construction noise sources, durations, and proximity to existing sensitive receptors would be substantially similar to those previously analyzed in Section F Noise, of the certified EIR. Operational noise associated with vehicular traffic would not significantly increase beyond levels contemplated under the original project assumptions because, as discussed above under Section D: Transportation and Circulation, the modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposed Project would continue to rely on the same regulatory framework, including compliance with City noise standards and construction hour limitations, which were determined to be effective in reducing noise impacts to less than significant levels. Additionally, Mitigation Measure F.2b, F.3, and F.4, were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not create significant changes to the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant with mitigation that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section G: Hazards
The proposed Project would modify the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR5); however, similar to the original Project, it would not introduce land uses or activities that would increase the potential for hazards or hazardous materials impacts. The modified Project would continue to consist of residential development consistent with the TSP, and there is no change that would alter emergency access, evacuation routes, or exposure to off-site hazards. Development would remain subject to the same regulatory requirements, including compliance with applicable fire codes, hazardous materials handling regulations, and emergency response standards evaluated in the certified EIR. The Project would not result in the routine use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials beyond what was contemplated for residential development under #30..

The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section H: Biological Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). As evaluated in Section B, Biological Resources, of the certified EIR, the original Project anticipated development of previously disturbed and planned urbanizing lands consistent with the TSP, with impacts to biological resources reduced to less than significant through compliance with applicable regulations and mitigation measures. The proposed Project does not expand the project footprint, increase disturbance into undeveloped habitat areas, or introduce new land uses that would increase impacts to special-status species, sensitive habitats, or jurisdictional waters beyond what was previously analyzed. Because development remains within the same planning areas, retains the same infrastructure framework, and does not alter open space, park/basin, or roadway configurations, the type, extent, and intensity of biological resource impacts would remain comparable to those evaluated in the certified EIR. Additionally, Mitigation Measures H.4, H.4, H.5, H.6a, H.6b, H.7 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section I: Hydrology and Water Quality
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas but does not alter impervious surface coverage in a manner that would affect stormwater management. Like the original project, the proposed Project has the potential to affect hydrology and water quality as analyzed in Section B of the certified Draft EIR. The development would continue to implement stormwater controls, drainage systems, and other Best Management Practices consistent with the TSP and applicable NPDES requirements. Additionally, Mitigation Measures I.1, I.2, I.3a, I.3b, I.4, I.8 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project.

Section J: Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
As with the original project, the potential for impacts related to geology, soils, and seismicity—including soil stability, erosion, expansive soils, liquefaction, and seismic ground shaking—remains consistent with the conditions analyzed in Section J of the certified Draft EIR. The modifications do not increase development intensity beyond what was previously contemplated, nor do they introduce new structures or alter the types of construction anticipated. Applicable building codes, engineering standards, and mitigation measures established in the certified EIR would continue to address potential geologic and seismic hazards. Additionally, Mitigation Measures J.1, and J.2 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section K: Community Services
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
As such, the demand for community services, including police, fire protection, and emergency medical services, would remain consistent with the assumptions and analysis presented in the certified Draft EIR. While the precise distribution of units among the sub-areas has been adjusted, the total residential population and associated service needs are within the range previously analyzed. The modifications do not introduce new land uses or substantially increase service demand beyond what was anticipated in the original EIR. Additionally, Mitigation Measure K.3 was adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. This mitigation measure will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section L: Utilities and Services Systems
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).

These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section M: Water Supply
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
Water supply for the proposed Project would continue to be provided by the same public water system identified in the certified EIR, with demand proportional to the 343 residential units, which is within the range of units analyzed in the original TSP EIR. The modifications do not increase development intensity beyond what was previously evaluated, nor do they introduce new water uses or change the project’s water infrastructure. Additionally, Mitigation Measure M.2 was adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. This mitigation measure will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section N: Population and Housing
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting the distribution of residential units within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5) while maintaining the overall unit total of 343 and a blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the original TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre. Like the original project, the proposed Project would continue to provide housing consistent with the General Plan’s land use designations and support the projected population growth anticipated in the certified EIR. Because there is no increase in total units, no new residential types are introduced, and no changes to site layout, roadways, or unit mix occur that would substantially affect population distribution, the modifications would not result in additional population growth or housing demand beyond what was analyzed in the original EIR. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.

Analysis of Impacts Found to be Significant and Unavoidable The DEIR indicates that implementation of the original project would create several adverse environmental impacts, which are documented in Chapter IV. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation of the DEIR. The DEIR recommends mitigation measures for most of these impacts which, if implemented, would reduce these impacts to a level of insignificance. However, several impacts were determined to be unavoidable, even within the implementation of mitigation measures described in the DEIR. This section briefly addresses these unavoidable adverse impacts.
Agricultural Resources
The original project implementation projected a loss of productive agricultural land within the project site, and that loss would contribute to the cumulative loss of farmland in the Modesto area as the city grows. The modified project remains consistent with the planned land uses and densities of the TSP and does not introduce new types of development or substantially expand the project footprint beyond what was already anticipated; meaning there will be no new loss of productive agricultural land. The proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Air Quality
The original project implementation projected increased activities that generate air pollutant emissions within the project site. Construction-related emissions would occur but are anticipated to be less then previously anticipated given modern construction equipment, practices, and dust control measures. Operational emissions associated with vehicle trips, energy use, and other activities are comparable to or lower than those analyzed in the original TSP, particularly given current vehicle emission standards and lower per-capita emissions compared to vehicle fleet standards at the time of the original analysis. Overall, with compliance with applicable San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District rules and regulations, the proposed Project would not result in a new or substantially more severe air quality impact than was previously identified.
The proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Traffic
The original project projected increased traffic volumes as the TSP was implemented.
There were various improvements proposed to mitigate the impacts associated with traffic volumes that were anticipated. Additionally, the City has continued to analyze the circulation system over the last two decades, and has developed alternative improvements (i.e. roundabouts) at key intersections to improve traffic conditions. The proposed modifications do not increase the severity of any impact that was anticipated.
The existing development potential within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5) is between 2,813 and 5,101 average daily #30..

26 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project trips (9.44 ADT- LDR and VLDR, and 6.65 ADT for MHDR (ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition) when considering the maximum and minimum density allowed.
Development with the proposed modifications and site plans would result in the six Development Sub-Areas generating approximately 3,237 average daily trips (ADT) (343 units × 9.44 trips/unit/day = 3,237 ADT), which is below the maximum, and within the expected range. Comparatively, this is 1,864 ADT below the expected ADT under the maximum development potential for the six Development Sub-Areas.
The proposed modifications do not significantly affect traffic volumes, operations, or circulation patterns from what was evaluated in the certified EIR, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Noise
The original project implementation projected increased activities that generate noise.
Construction noise would occur in comparable phases and magnitudes as originally planned, with no new or unusual noise-generating operations introduced. Operational noise from residential use, including vehicle trips on local streets and typical outdoor activities, would be consistent with what was anticipated under the original TSP. Overall, the proposed Project would comply with the City of Modesto Noise Ordinance, and any minor changes in site layout or unit distribution would not result in substantially higher noise levels than those evaluated in the certified EIR. However, the proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Analysis of Growth Inducement
The EIR found that growth inducing impacts associated with the Original Project were primarily related to the economic aspects of the direct increases in population and employment and result in the demand for a range of goods and services to meet the production and consumption needs of additional economic and residential activity. The modified project may generate minor changes in population and employment compared to the Original Project; however, these differences are within the range of growth previously analyzed. The Modified Project is expected to provide a similar population growth on the site relative what was anticipated under the Original Project.
Analysis of Impacts Found to be Irreversible Changes
The EIR found that the original project would entail the commitment of natural resources, energy resources, and human resources, and that the ongoing maintenance of the project site by the occupants will entail further commitment of energy resources in the form of natural gas and electricity generated by coal, hydro-electric power, or nuclear energy. The EIR found that the original project would irreversibly alter vacant land and convert agricultural uses, and would preclude the use of the site from other uses or open space. The EIR found that these commitments constitute long-term #30..

obligations since it is generally impossible to return the land to its original condition once it has been developed. This irreversible change is not applicable to the modified project, as the site has already been converted and it was recognized that there would be a commitment of natural resources, energy resources, and human resources to the project and on-going maintenance.

City Council, April 7, 2026
Amendment of Tivoli Specific Plan, Tivoli Area Plan No. 1, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps and Final Development Plans Tivoli Alves and Paregian and General Plan Amendment
The Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) was adopted by the City Council on February 26, 2008, by Ordinance No. 3479-C.S. The Specific Plan encompasses approximately 454 acres bounded by the future Claratina Avenue to the north, Sylvan Avenue to the south, Oakdale Road to the west and Roselle Avenue to the east. The TSP provides for uses including commercial, school, parks, and residential development of a variety of densities as outlined by the Land Use Diagram and development standards. Since adoption, five (5) residential developments have been approved: Tivoli Snow, Tivoli Arcadia, Olivewood, Martin and Belconte. Two of those developments, Snow and Arcadia, are currently under construction.
On January 22, 2025, the Planning Division received applications for three (3) new residential developments: Alves, Mable, and Paregian. All three (3) are generally located to the north and south of Mable Avenue, east of Oakdale Road, and south of future Claratina Avenue. All three (3) developments in combination propose a total of 343 single-family residential lots over 71.8 gross acres total. While all three (3) developments are adjacent to each other and interconnected by way of sharing access from future Bridgewood Way (west of Aria Way) and a future connector street to extend south from future Claratina Avenue all east of Oakdale Road.
DISCUSSION:
The Alves-Tivoli development consists of the following proposed entitlements • Specific Plan No. 7 to amend the Land Use Diagram, 6 gross acres of MHDR-5 to LDR-13 (Project ID: SPA-25-002).
• Tivoli Area Plan No. 1 (Project ID: AREA-25-003).
• Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map “Tivoli Alves” to divide 26.3 gross acres into 141 residential lots (Project ID: TSM-25-003).
• Final Development Plan “Tivoli-Alves” for setback and other development standards (Project ID: FDP-25-002).
The Paregian-Tivoli development consists of the following proposed entitlements:
• Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map “Tivoli Paregian” to divide 17.4 gross acres into 99 residential lots and 5.4 gross acres into 11 very low density residential lots (22.8 gross acres total and 110 total lots) (Project ID: TSM25-004) • Final Development Plan “Tivoli Paregian” for setback and other development standards (Project ID: FDP-25-003)
Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps: “Tivoli Alves” and “Tivoli Paregian”, and associated Final Development Plans
The proposed tentative map of Tivoli Alves would divide 26.3 gross acres into 141 single-family residential lots, the majority being small lot of less than 5,000 square feet. The Alves tentative map also dedicates a portion of the future community #31..

park/dual-use basin and right-of-way for a future collector street that would connect future Bridgewood Way to future Claratina Avenue.
The proposed Paregian tentative map would divide 17.4 gross acres into 99 residential lots and 5.4 gross acres into very low density residential lots, a total of 110 lots over 22.8 acres.
Associated with the tentative maps are proposed Final Development Plans for both sites that provides for development standards specific to the tentative map area, including building setbacks and landscaping. As a majority of lots within the Alves tentative map are to be less than 5,000 square feet in area, the Final Development Plan for that site proposes interior side yard setbacks of three (3) feet in width to the property line, and street-side yard setbacks of 12-feet in width for those lots.
Larger lots would have wider interior side setbacks of five (5) feet. Rear yard setbacks are proposed to be 15-feet at minimum, and front yards of 12-feet, with 20-feet setback distances for the garages.
The Final Development Plan for Paregian provides for similar setbacks, five (5) feet minimum interior side yard setbacks and 12-foot street side yard setbacks, and fifteen-foot rear yards. For the very low density residential lots, wider setbacks are proposed: fifteen feet front yard, 20-foot garage setbacks and rear yard setbacks, and a minimum side yard setback of ten feet in width. The intention of the very low density residential lots is to accommodate design of homes on the north side of Mable Avenue that would complement the existing residences on the south side of the street.

Specific Plan Amendment No. 7
The project proposes to amend the land use diagram of the Specific Plan by changing six (6) gross acres designated as Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18-24 dwelling units per acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-12, 4-8 dwelling units per acre). See Figure No. 1, below.
Together with the proposed amendment No. 8 to the Specific Plan to change two (2) gross acres from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1-3 dwelling units per acre) into Low Density Residential (LDR-12, 4-8 dwelling units per acre) associated with the Tivoli Mable Parcel project, and the lot count proposed by the Paregian-Tivoli project, the resulting density overall would be 6.2 units per acre, a total of 343 units, 13 more than the minimum number of units allowed under the current land use designations.

Area Plan No. 1
The TSP is comprised of nine (9) individual Area Plans, each to ensure that any proposed development provides for circulation, land uses, infrastructure and design standards that implement policies of the Specific Plan. Each Area Plan outlines the placement of utilities and other infrastructure, as well as landscaping/paseos, location of neighborhood entries and lot configurations. To date, Area Plans No. 2, 5, and 6 have been adopted. The applicant proposes the adoption of Area Plan No. 1, within which are the proposed Tivoli Alves and Paregian tentative subdivision maps.
General Plan Amendment
Separately, the City proposes a General Plan Land Use Element Amendment to be consistent with the TSP. City Council Resolution No. 2022-449, which was adopted for an earlier project, Tivoli Arcadia, created inconsistencies with an amendment of Regional-Serving Commercial (RSC) uses to Low Density Residential (LDR) uses adjacent to the Tivoli Paregian map that resulted in an excess of eight (8) acres in the Land Use Element of the General Plan to change from Regional Commercial (RC) uses to Residential (R) uses. The City seeks to reconcile the inconsistency in the current EIR addendum EA/C&EA 2026-03. #31..

SB 330 Analysis
Government Code section 66300 (often referred to as SB 330) regulates the City’s ability to “downzone” residential properties. Section 66300(b)(1) states, in part, that a city “shall not enact a development policy, standard, or condition” that has the effect of reducing a site’s “residential development capacity.” Section 66300(h) provides an exception to this rule, allowing a city to change a land use designation or zoning ordinance to a less intensive use if the city “concurrently” changes “the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to other parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity.” When the proposed reduction in residential capacity is proposed by an applicant for a housing project, as it is here, “concurrently” means within 180 days of the decision to downzone.
SB 330 does not define residential “capacity.” As such, this analysis examines the potential for the project to change residential capacity in two ways. First, the analysis examines residential capacity based on the maximum residential density allowed under the various land use designations. Second, the analysis examines residential capacity as a function of the number of units actually built plus the #31..

anticipated units to be built from the proposed changes and compares that number of units to the anticipated number of units under the original approvals. Under both analyses, there is no net loss in residential capacity.
Maximum Density
Specific Plan No. 7 proposes to amend the Land Use Diagram, changing 6 gross acres of MHDR-5 to LDR-13. MHDR has a residential density of 18-24 density units (“du”)/acre, which over 6 acres equates to 144 maximum units. LDR has a residential density of 4-8 du/acre, which over 6 acres equates to 48 maximum units. Therefore, the changes proposed by Specific Plan No. 7 would result in a capacity loss of 96 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
The City’s proposed General Plan Amendment proposes to change 8 acres of Low Density Residential back to Regional Serving Commercial. 8 acres of LDR equates to 64 maximum dwelling units. Regional Serving Commercial does not allow for residential uses, so the General Plan Amendment would result in a capacity loss of 64 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
Combined, Specific Plan No. 7 and the General Plan amendment would result in the capacity loss of 160 units that the City would need to compensate for by upzoning other properties.
On November 24, 2025, within 180 days of the Council’s decision on this project, the City completed the annexation and rezoning of the Founders Point East area of the City. (See Stanislaus County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) Resolution 2025-15; LAFCO Certificate of Completion, dated November 24, 2025.) In the Founders Point East project, the City rezoned approximately 70 acres (63.6 net acres) from Business Park to a residential use with an average density of 6.6 du/acre. This results in an upzoning of approximately 420 units.
In addition, the Tivoli Mable project, also under consideration by the Council at the same meeting as this project, proposes to upzone 2 acres of very low density residential, at 1-3 du/acre, to low density residential, at 4-8 du/acre. If approved, the Tivoli Mable project, would result in an increase in residential capacity of 10 units.
Combined, the Founders Point East and Tivoli Mable projects would result in a net increase in residential capacity of 430 units. Thus, under SB 330, this is more than sufficient to accommodate the loss of 160 units of the combined Specific Plan No. 7 and General Plan amendment (net increase of 270 units). #31..

Original Arcadia Site: The original Arcadia site had a density range of 8-18 du/acre for the original MDR-2 and MDR-3 sites. This allowed for a housing capacity of between 234-527 dwelling units as defined by the TSP.
Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity: The replacement of MDR-2, and MDR-3 resulted in the creation of LDR-15 and LDR-13 in the TSP. The Arcadia project constructed an "Actual" dwelling units count of 141 units within LDR-15. This left a balance needed of between 93 and 386 dwelling units to maintain the original capacity of the Arcadia site. It is noted that the replacement created a mapping inconsistency between the General Plan and TSP, wherein 25 acres of Regional Commercial (RC) was changed to Residential (R) in the General Plan and only
17.4 acres of RSC-1 was changed to LDR. This left a discrepancy of approximately 8 acres that remained RSC-1 in the TSP but was changed to R in the General Plan.

Amendment of Tivoli Specific Plan, Tivoli Area Plan No. 1, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps and Final Development Plans Tivoli Alves and Paregian and General Plan Amendment
Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity: The 17.4 acres in Paregian redesignated as LDR-13 in the TSP is proposed to be subdivided in 99 units.
Combining 141 units built in LDR-15 and the proposed 99 units in LDR-13, the combined "actual" units would be 240 units which is collectively intended to replace the capacity lost from the original Arcadia downzoning. Compared to the original capacity of MDR-2 and MDR-3 (234 to 527 units), the combined capacity of LDR-13 and LDR-15 meet the replacement need for the 8-acre discrepancy.
Conclusion: The analysis of the three (3) scenarios above (1) Original Arcadia Site; 2) Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity; and 3) Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity) shows that the original capacity of the Arcadia site has been met/replaced through the actual units constructed in LDR-15 (141 units), in addition to the proposed subdivision of 17.4 acres in the Paregian application into 99 units in LDR-13. This results in 240 units, which is within the capacity originally anticipated for the MDR-2 and MDR-3 Arcadia site. The analysis shows that the 8 acres designated as R in the General Plan is unnecessary to meet the original replacement capacity needs of the Arcadia project. Therefore, the City intends to reconcile the General Plan/TSP inconsistency through a General Plan Amendment that would change the R land use in the General Plan back to RC use. The TSP land use would remain RSC-1.

Amendment of Tivoli Specific Plan, Tivoli Area Plan No. 1, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps and Final Development Plans Tivoli Alves and Paregian and General Plan Amendment
Tentative Subdivision Map Findings:
Per Modesto Municipal Code Section 10-4.404(d) Limitations on Approval for (maps other than Parcel Maps), a vesting tentative subdivision map cannot be approved or conditionally approved if any of the following findings are made:
(1) That the proposed tentative map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
Staff Review: The proposed vesting tentative subdivision maps of Alves and Paregian are consistent with the General Plan and the TSP (as amended) as they are within the Residential (R) land uses of the General Plan and the residential land use areas of the TSP, allowing for development of residential uses as provided by the TSP.
(2) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
Staff review: Conditions of approval for each of the tentative maps are being applied to ensure compliance with the General Plan, development standards and infrastructure requirements of the Specific Plan, and applicable City Codes and Standards.
(3) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
Staff Review: The TSP is a long-range vision planning document that was approved in 2008 by the City Council. All three (3) projects are within the TSP’s area and the site is suitable for the type of residential development proposed by the tentative maps. Although Alves and Mable depend on amendments to the Land Use Diagram of the Specific Plan, the overall pattern of development remains in line with the residential type of development envisioned by the TSP document. (4) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
Staff Review: The area of the TSP is flat and formerly utilized as orchard and pastureland. There are no physical impediments to development not previously documented by the TSP and analyzed and mitigated by the TSP Final EIR. The Mitigation measures for the proposed density of development has been anticipated and discussed in the TSP Final EIR SCH # 2005072125 and included in the Conditions of Approval of the resolution.

(5) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Staff Review: The design of the tentative maps is in accordance to the TSP, and all environmental impacts have been analyzed and mitigated by the TSP Final EIR.
The proposed projects are reviewed in the EIR Addendum C&EA 2026-003 and attached to the staff report. No significant impact resulted from these project proposals that warrant changes or additions to the previously certified EIR were found.
(6) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
Staff review: The design of the tentative maps is in accordance to the TSP, and all environmental impacts have been analyzed and mitigated by the TSP Final EIR.
The improvements and design of the subdivision is to ensure promoting healthy communities with multi-modal transportation and easy navigation and access to nearby schools and facilities thereby allowing for better living environments for the future occupants of the homes.
(7) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Staff Review: Conditions of approval for the three (3) tentative maps would ensure that public utility and right-of-way easements would be provided. Standard conditions applied to all three (3) tentative maps regarding utility facilities would ensure that such facilities be protected, relocated or removed as required, and easements for facilities to remain are to be reserved as required.
Public Notice and Outreach
The proposed project was noticed in the local Modesto Bee Newspaper with a 20- day notice in addition to a 300 ft radius notice to all properties surrounding the subject parcels under consideration for the project.
Neighborhood Outreach
Mable Avenue is an existing street that extends east of Oakdale Road and currently terminates approximately one-third of a mile east of Oakdale Road. There are eight (8) existing homes on Mable Avenue in addition to an existing veterinary clinic at the southeast corner of Oakdale Road and Mable Avenue with access onto Oakdale Road. The applicant representative, David Romano, has held #31..

discussions with the residents on Mable Avenue regarding the proposed developments.
Per the TSP Street Hierarchy Diagram and policies in Chapter 3 of the TSP, Mable Avenue is to connect to a future collector street extending south from future Claratina Avenue and bounding the future neighborhood park to the east. Its existing connection to Oakdale Road is to be closed with only emergency vehicle access allowed, upon commercial development at the northwest corner of Oakdale Road and Mable Avenue. Until commercial development commences, the roadway would remain open to Oakdale Road.
The neighborhood has expressed concerns about construction traffic impacting the existing street. However, if any of the three (3) tentative maps are approved, development of those tentative maps would also involve the extension of future Claratina Avenue and the extension of a future collector street connecting to Bridgewood Way east of Aria Way. Construction traffic currently accesses the area via Aria Way as part of the Snow and Arcadia developments, already underway. The project is conditioned to mitigate the construction of traffic impact on the existing streets. Refer to Attachments 3 and 4 for Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map conditions.
During February 23, 2026, Planning Commission hearing, residents of Mable Avenue were in attendance, and had three concerns- timing of the improvements on Mable Avenue, single story homes adjacent to the current homes, and a seven (7) foot fence. In order to mitigate these concerns, staff added the following conditions:
1. Mable Improvements
Current Condition:
With the development of the Phase 2 large lots along Mable Avenue, the developer shall reconstruct Mable Avenue to include curb and gutter and drive approaches along the south side to facilitate stormwater capture, as approved by the City Engineer. The project applicant shall also provide water and sewer lateral stubs for the existing ranchette properties located on the southerly side of Mable Avenue to accommodate future service connections.
Added Conditions:
1. As part of the Paregian Phase 1 improvement plans, the developer shall be responsible for the design of the full roadway improvements consistent with the Tivoli Specific Plan for Mable Avenue from Oakdale Road on the west to project limits on the east, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.

2. As part of the Paregian Phase 1 improvement plans, the developer shall design and construct a one-tenth of a foot (0.1') Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement overlay for length of the Mable Avenue, from Oakdale Road on the west to the project limits on the east, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. The AC pavement for Mable shall be constructed with the Paragian Phase 1 improvements.
2. Single Story Homes
Added Condition:
Future residential development of Lots 31, 41, lot C, lot 3, 29, 9, 8 and 7 will be subject to the City’s second story review process and is required to conform to the City of Modesto’s Neighborhood Compatibility Guidelines
3. Fencing
Added Condition:
Developer is responsible for constructing a 7ft high wooden fence on the entire length of the Mable subdivision adjacent to the existing Mable Avenue rear and side property lines. This includes and is not limited to property lines of proposed subdivision labelled lot 31, 41, lot C, 29, 30, 8 and 9 FISCAL IMPACT:
All application fees and environmental review fees for this item have been paid by the project applicants in accordance to the fee schedule adopted by the City Council. In addition, the projects will be subject to all applicable adopted development fees prior to building permit issuance to offset the City’s fiscal impact of development.1
Recommended conditions of approval included with the attached resolutions would require the owners of the properties to annex into the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2024-1 prior to recordation of Final Maps, to facilitate the property owners’ contributions towards the Tivoli Specific Plan area improvements that would serve future development and maintenance of amenities on the development sites.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The item was considered by the Planning Commission at their regularly scheduled February 23, 2026, hearing, and the Commission recommended approval of the project on a 6-1 vote.

62.Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.4): Applicant shall conduct pre-construction surveys to avoid nest disturbance. (See pp. IV.H.15-IV.H.16 for more detail.)
63.Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.5):
Compensation for loss of foraging habitat. The entire Tivoli project could result in the loss of up to 297.5 acres of foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks. The Project Biologist will determine the actual acreage of suitable foraging habitat related to the development of the Arcadia property, and that loss shall be mitigated by providing offsite Habitat Management (HM) lands as described in the CDFG’s Staff Report regarding Mitigation for Impacts to Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo Swainson) in the Central Valley of California because the site was confirmed to be foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks through direct observation and is likely within ten miles of an active nest (used during one or more of the last five years).
The acreage of off-site management lands to be provided will depend on the distance between the project site and the nearest active nest site.
The 1994 CDFG staff report states:
a. Projects within one mile of an active nest tree shall provide:
i. One acre of HM land (at least 10% of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement allowing for the active management of the habitat, with the remaining 90% of the HM lands protected by a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawk) for each acre of development authorized (1:1 ratio); or
#31..
- 1884 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
One-half acre of HM land (all of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] which allows for the active management of the habitat for prey production on the HM lands) for each acre of development authorized (0.5:1 ratio).
ii. Projects within 5 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 1 mile from the nest tree shall provide 0.75 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.75:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iii. Projects within 10 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 5 miles from an active nest tree shall provide 0.5 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.5:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the Department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iv. Management Authorization holders/project sponsors shall provide for the long-term management of the HM lands by funding a management endowment (the interest on which shall be used for managing the HM lands) at the rate of $400 per HM acre. Current records within the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) are more than five years old, so they alone cannot be used to confirm a mitigation ratio for the loss of approximately 38 acres of foraging habitat related to the Arcadia Properties Tivoli project. The CNDDB records do, however, provide guidance. The mitigation ratio depends on whether the project site is within one of three zones: 1) less than a mile; 2) between one and five miles; or 3) between five and ten miles. Nests have been recorded within the riparian habitats along both the Stanislaus River and Tuolumne River within ten miles of the project site. Even though the existing records along these rivers are more than five years old, active unpublished nests along these rivers within the last five years are nearly certain to have occurred. Therefore, this analysis assumes that active Swainson’s Hawks nests are present within ten miles of the project site.
v. Nest season surveys for Swainson’s Hawks should be conducted to confirm whether an active nest occurs within one of the closer zones.
Assuming that nests are present within ten miles, however, reduces the area requiring nest-season surveys from 314.2 square miles to
78.5 square miles; the area within 5 miles of the project site.
64.Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6a):
Implementation of formal CDFW guidelines (Staff Report on Burrowing #31..
- 1885 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
Owl Mitigation) to avoid and minimize impacts to Burrowing Owls. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a habitat assessment in accordance with CDFW guidelines for Burrowing Owls should be completed prior to the start of construction. Burrowing Owl habitat on the project site and within a 500-foot (150 m) buffer zone should be assessed. If the habitat assessment concludes that the site and immediate vicinity lack suitable Burrowing Owl habitat, no additional action would be warranted.
However, if suitable habitat is located on, or immediately adjacent to, the site, all Burrowing Owl habitat should be mapped at an appropriate scale, and the following mitigation measures should be implemented:
a. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a pre-construction survey for Burrowing Owls, in conformance with CDFW guidelines, should be completed no more than 30 days prior to the start of construction within suitable habitat.
Three additional surveys should also be completed per CDFW guidelines prior to construction.
b. No Burrowing Owls will be evicted from burrows during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31). Eviction outside the nesting season may be permitted pending evaluation of eviction plans and receipt of formal written approval from the CDFW authorizing the eviction.
c. A 250-foot (76 m) buffer, within which no new activity will be permissible, will be maintained between project activities and nesting Burrowing Owls during the nesting season. This protected area will remain in effect until August 31, or at the CDFW’s discretion and based upon monitoring evidence, until the young owls are foraging independently.
d. If accidental take (disturbance, injury, or death of owls) occurs, the CDFW will be notified immediately.
65.Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6b):
Compensation for loss of Burrowing Owl habitat. If pre-construction surveys determine that Burrowing Owls occupy the site and avoiding development of occupied areas is not feasible, then habitat compensation on off-site mitigation lands should be implemented.
Habitat Management (HM) lands comprising existing Burrowing Owl foraging and breeding habitat should be acquired and preserved. An area of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) (the amount of land found to be necessary to sustain a pair or individual owl) should be secured for each pair of owls, or individual in the case of an odd number of birds. As part of an agreement with the CDFW, the project applicant should secure the performance of its mitigation duties by providing the CDFW with security in the form of funds that would:
#31..
- 1886 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
a. Allow for the acquisition and/or preservation of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) of HM lands;
b. Provide initial protection and enhancement activities on the HM lands, potentially including, but not limited to, such measures as fencing, trash clean-up, artificial burrow creation, grazing or mowing, and any habitat restoration deemed necessary by CDFW;
c. Establish an endowment for the long-term management of the HM lands; and
d. Reimburse the CDFW for reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the approval and implementation of this agreement.
66.Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.1): The project proponent shall prepare a SWPPP for each development project under the Specific Plan (or one master SWPPP for all development) designed to reduce potential impacts to surface water quality through the construction period of all of the project components (whether or not the particular portion of the project disturbs more than one acre). The SWPPP shall emphasize measures designed to minimize erosion and off-site sedimentation. It is not required that the SWPPP be submitted to the RWQCB, but must be maintained on-site and made available to RWQCB staff upon request. The SWPPP shall include:
a. Specific and detailed BMPs designed to mitigate construction-related pollutants. At minimum, BMPs shall include practices to minimize the contact of construction materials, equipment, and maintenance supplies (e.g., fuels, lubricants, paints, solvents, adhesives) with storm water. The SWPPP shall specify properly designed, centralized storage areas that keep these materials out of the rain. b. An important component of the storm water quality protection effort is knowledge of the site supervisors and workers. To educate on-site personnel and maintain awareness of the importance of storm water quality protection, site supervisors shall conduct regular tailgate meetings to discuss pollution prevention. The frequency of the meetings and required personnel attendance list shall be specified in the SWPPP.
c. The City staff shall review and approve project SWPPP prior to developer obtaining a Grading and Building Permit. Project SWPPP shall include and adequately address all elements in the State General Construction Permit (Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Stormwater Runoff Associated with Construction Activity, State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 99-08-DWQ).
d. BMPs designed to reduce erosion of exposed soil may include, but are not limited to, soil stabilization controls, watering for dust control, perimeter silt fences, placement of hay bales, and sediment basins. #31..
- 1887 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
The potential for erosion is generally increased if grading is performed during the rainy season as disturbed soil can be exposed to rainfall and storm runoff. If grading must be conducted during the rainy season, the primary BMPs selected shall focus on erosion control; that is, keeping sediment on the site. End-of-pipe sediment control measures (e.g., basins and traps) shall be used only as secondary measures. Entry and egress from the excavation area shall be carefully controlled to minimize off-site tracking of sediment. Vehicle and equipment wash-down facilities shall be designed to be accessible and functional during both dry and wet conditions.
67.Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.2): The City shall ensure that development under the proposed project meets all the requirements of the current Municipal NPDES Permit (NPDES Permit No. R5-2002-0132 as amended by Order No. R5-2003-0182) for operation-phase water quality treatment. The drainage plan for each proposed development under the Specific Plan shall include features and operational BMPs to reduce potential impacts to surface water quality associated with operation of the project. The final design shall include measures designed to mitigate potential water quality degradation of runoff from all portions of the completed development.
In general, “passive,” low-maintenance BMPs (e.g., grassy swales, porous pavements) are preferred over active filtering or treatment systems. An operations and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented to inspect and maintain BMPs in perpetuity.
The final design team for the development project shall review and incorporate as many concepts as practicable from the City’s Guidance Manual for New Development Stormwater Quality Control Measures, Start at the Source, Design Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Protection and the California Stormwater Quality Association’s Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook, Development and Redevelopment. BMPs to be implemented by the developers within the plan area may include, but are not limited to, the BMPs described below for the construction and operation phases of the projects:
During the Construction Phase:
a. Erosion control BMPs may include preservation of existing vegetation, use of hydraulic mulch, hydroseeding, soil binders, earth dikes and drainage swales, velocity dissipation devices and implementation of channel bank stabilization techniques;
b. Temporary sediment control BMPs may include use of silt fences, sediment traps, sediment basins, check dams, fiber rolls, and drainage inlet protection;
During the Operation Phase:
#31..
- 1888 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
c. Permanent operation-phase BMPs may include: minimization of directly connected impervious surfaces, use of permeable pavements or unit pavers, grassy bioswales, stormwater planters, covering of refuse handling areas, stenciling drainage inlets, wet ponds, and detention basins.
At a minimum, runoff from all components of the project shall receive some level of treatment prior to discharging to the detention basins.
Runoff would then be detained in the basins prior to being pumped into the Modesto Irrigation District’s canal.
68.Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.3b): As a condition of approval of the final grading and drainage plans for all projects proposed within the plan area it must be demonstrated through detailed hydraulic analysis that implementation of the proposed drainage plans will:
a. Include adequately sized detention facilities to accommodate anticipated runoff associated with the 100-year storm event. A licensed professional engineer shall prepare the final drainage plan for the project and plans must be submitted to the City of Modesto Public Works for review and approval.
b. Include drainage components that are designed in compliance with City of Modesto standards. The grading and drainage plans shall be reviewed for compliance with these requirements by the Department of Public Works; and
c. Establish a funding mechanism for maintenance and annual inspections of the detention basin, drainage ditches, and drainage inlets. Any accumulation of sediment or other debris shall be promptly removed. An annual report documenting the inspection and any remedial action conducted shall be submitted to the City of Modesto Public Works Department for review.
69.Developer shall comply with Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.4, Hydrology and Water Quality, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or designee.
70.Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.8):
Prior to approval of a grading plan for development of a particular parcel of the Specific Plan area, a well survey shall be conducted to determine the location and characteristics of each well for that particular parcel. (See pp. IV. I.18-IV.I.19 for more detail.)
71.Geology, Soils and Seismicity (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure J.1): In locations underlain by expansive soils and/or non-engineered fill, the designers of foundations and improvements (including sidewalks, roads, and utilities) shall consider these conditions. (See p. IV.J.7 for more detail.)

Compensation for loss of foraging habitat. The entire Tivoli project #31..
- 1911 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
could result in the loss of up to 297.5 acres of foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks. The Project Biologist will determine the actual acreage of suitable foraging habitat related to the development of the Arcadia property, and that loss shall be mitigated by providing offsite Habitat Management (HM) lands as described in the CDFG’s Staff Report regarding Mitigation for Impacts to Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo Swainson) in the Central Valley of California because the site was confirmed to be foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks through direct observation and is likely within ten miles of an active nest (used during one or more of the last five years).
The acreage of off-site management lands to be provided will depend on the distance between the project site and the nearest active nest site. The 1994 CDFG staff report states:
a. Projects within one mile of an active nest tree shall provide:
i. One acre of HM land (at least 10% of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement allowing for the active management of the habitat, with the remaining 90% of the HM lands protected by a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawk) for each acre of development authorized (1:1 ratio); or One-half acre of HM land (all of the HM land requirements shall be met by fee title acquisition or a conservation easement [acceptable to the Department] which allows for the active management of the habitat for prey production on the HM lands) for each acre of development authorized (0.5:1 ratio).
ii. Projects within 5 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 1 mile from the nest tree shall provide 0.75 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.75:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iii. Projects within 10 miles of an active nest tree but greater than 5 miles from an active nest tree shall provide 0.5 acres of HM land for each acre of urban development authorized (0.5:1 ratio). All HM lands protected under this requirement may be protected through fee title acquisition or conservation easement (acceptable to the Department) on agricultural lands or other suitable habitats that provide foraging habitat for Swainson’s Hawks.
iv. Management Authorization holders/project sponsors shall provide for the long-term management of the HM lands by funding a management endowment (the interest on which shall be used for #31..
- 1912 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
managing the HM lands) at the rate of $400 per HM acre. Current records within the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) are more than five years old, so they alone cannot be used to confirm a mitigation ratio for the loss of approximately 38 acres of foraging habitat related to the Arcadia Properties Tivoli project. The CNDDB records do, however, provide guidance.
The mitigation ratio depends on whether the project site is within one of three zones: 1) less than a mile; 2) between one and five miles; or 3) between five and ten miles. Nests have been recorded within the riparian habitats along both the Stanislaus River and Tuolumne River within ten miles of the project site.
Even though the existing records along these rivers are more than five years old, active unpublished nests along these rivers within the last five years are nearly certain to have occurred. Therefore, this analysis assumes that active Swainson’s Hawks nests are present within ten miles of the project site.
v. Nest season surveys for Swainson’s Hawks should be conducted to confirm whether an active nest occurs within one of the closer zones. Assuming that nests are present within ten miles, however, reduces the area requiring nest-season surveys from 314.2 square miles to 78.5 square miles; the area within 5 miles of the project site.
64. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6a):
Implementation of formal CDFW guidelines (Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation) to avoid and minimize impacts to Burrowing Owls. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a habitat assessment in accordance with CDFW guidelines for Burrowing Owls should be completed prior to the start of construction. Burrowing Owl habitat on the project site and within a 500-foot (150 m) buffer zone should be assessed. If the habitat assessment concludes that the site and immediate vicinity lack suitable Burrowing Owl habitat, no additional action would be warranted. However, if suitable habitat is located on, or immediately adjacent to, the site, all Burrowing Owl habitat should be mapped at an appropriate scale, and the following mitigation measures should be implemented:
a. In conformance with federal and state regulations regarding the protection of raptors, a pre-construction survey for Burrowing Owls, in conformance with CDFW guidelines, should be
completed no more than 30 days prior to the start of construction within suitable habitat. Three additional surveys should also be completed per CDFW guidelines prior to construction.
b. No Burrowing Owls will be evicted from burrows during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31). Eviction outside the nesting season may be permitted pending evaluation of #31..
- 1913 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
eviction plans and receipt of formal written approval from the CDFW authorizing the eviction.
c. A 250-foot (76 m) buffer, within which no new activity will be permissible, will be maintained between project activities and nesting Burrowing Owls during the nesting season. This
protected area will remain in effect until August 31, or at the CDFW’s discretion and based upon monitoring evidence, until the young owls are foraging independently.
d. If accidental take (disturbance, injury, or death of owls) occurs, the CDFW will be notified immediately.
65. Biological Resources (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure H.6b):
Compensation for loss of Burrowing Owl habitat. If pre-construction surveys determine that Burrowing Owls occupy the site and avoiding development of occupied areas is not feasible, then habitat compensation on off-site mitigation lands should be implemented.
Habitat Management (HM) lands comprising existing Burrowing Owl foraging and breeding habitat should be acquired and preserved. An area of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) (the amount of land found to be necessary to sustain a pair or individual owl) should be secured for each pair of owls, or individual in the case of an odd number of birds. As part of an agreement with the CDFW, the project applicant should secure the performance of its mitigation duties by providing the CDFW with security in the form of funds that would:
a. Allow for the acquisition and/or preservation of 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) of HM lands;
b. Provide initial protection and enhancement activities on the HM lands, potentially including, but not limited to, such measures as fencing, trash clean-up, artificial burrow creation, grazing or mowing, and any habitat restoration deemed necessary by CDFW;
c. Establish an endowment for the long-term management of the HM lands; and
d. Reimburse the CDFW for reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the approval and implementation of this agreement.
66. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.1):
The project proponent shall prepare a SWPPP for each development project under the Specific Plan (or one master SWPPP for all development) designed to reduce potential impacts to surface water quality through the construction period of all of the project components (whether or not the particular portion of the project disturbs more than one acre). The SWPPP shall emphasize measures designed to minimize erosion and off-site sedimentation. It is not required that the SWPPP be submitted to the RWQCB, but #31..
- 1914 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
must be maintained on-site and made available to RWQCB staff upon request. The SWPPP shall include:
a. Specific and detailed BMPs designed to mitigate constructionrelated pollutants. At minimum, BMPs shall include practices to minimize the contact of construction materials, equipment, and maintenance supplies (e.g., fuels, lubricants, paints, solvents, adhesives) with storm water. The SWPPP shall specify properly designed, centralized storage areas that keep these materials out of the rain.
b. An important component of the storm water quality protection effort is knowledge of the site supervisors and workers. To educate on-site personnel and maintain awareness of the importance of storm water quality protection, site supervisors shall conduct regular tailgate meetings to discuss pollution prevention.
The frequency of the meetings and required personnel
attendance list shall be specified in the SWPPP.
c. The City staff shall review and approve project SWPPP prior to developer obtaining a Grading and Building Permit. Project SWPPP shall include and adequately address all elements in the State General Construction Permit (Waste Discharge
Requirements for Discharges of Stormwater Runoff Associated with Construction Activity, State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 99-08-DWQ).
d. BMPs designed to reduce erosion of exposed soil may include, but are not limited to, soil stabilization controls, watering for dust control, perimeter silt fences, placement of hay bales, and sediment basins. The potential for erosion is generally increased if grading is performed during the rainy season as disturbed soil can be exposed to rainfall and storm runoff. If grading must be conducted during the rainy season, the primary BMPs selected shall focus on erosion control; that is, keeping sediment on the site. End-of-pipe sediment control measures (e.g., basins and traps) shall be used only as secondary measures. Entry and egress from the excavation area shall be carefully controlled to minimize off-site tracking of sediment. Vehicle and equipment wash-down facilities shall be designed to be accessible and functional during both dry and wet conditions.
67. Hydrology and Water Quality (Tivoli FEIR Mitigation Measure I.2):
The City shall ensure that development under the proposed project meets all the requirements of the current Municipal NPDES Permit (NPDES Permit No. R5-2002-0132 as amended by Order No. R5- 2003-0182) for operation-phase water quality treatment. The drainage plan for each proposed development under the Specific Plan shall include features and operational BMPs to reduce potential #31..
- 1915 -
04/07/2026/CED/JHill/Item X 2026-xx
impacts to surface water quality associated with operation of the project. The final design shall include measures designed to mitigate potential water quality degradation of runoff from all portions of the completed development. In general, “passive,” low-maintenance BMPs (e.g., grassy swales, porous pavements) are preferred over active filtering or treatment systems. An operations and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented to inspect and maintain BMPs in perpetuity.
The final design team for the development project shall review and incorporate as many concepts as practicable from the City’s Guidance Manual for New Development Stormwater Quality Control Measures, Start at the Source, Design Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Protection and the California Stormwater Quality Association’s Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook, Development and Redevelopment. BMPs to be implemented by the developers within the plan area may include, but are not limited to, the BMPs described below for the construction and operation phases of the projects:
During the Construction Phase:
a.

EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project 1 1 INTRODUCTION
This Addendum was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. This document has been prepared to serve as an Addendum to the previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse [SCH] # 2005072125) for the Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) Project (Original Project), certified on February 26, 2008. The City of Modesto is the lead agency for the proposed amendments/modifications to the Original Project.
The proposed Project includes modifications to the Original Project within six “Development SubAreas” of the TSP Area, with each being owned/controlled by three different Project Applicants (Alves, Mable, and Paregian). The six Development Sub-Areas are adjacent to one another and closely intertwined with circulation and utility plans for the TSP. As such, the three applications are being reviewed collectively as one proposed Project under this EIR Addendum. The six Development Sub-Areas include: VLDR-1, VLDR 3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5. In addition, the City is processing a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP. The proposed modifications are described in more detail below.
For the City to consider an amendment to the Original Project, the City must ensure that, if needed, environmental review consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines has been completed. Because the City has previously complied with CEQA for the Original Project and the new discretionary action before the City would be a change in an already-approved project, the City can rely on information in the certified EIR previously prepared for the Original Project, to the extent they remain adequate. Consistent with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the City must, therefore, determine whether any changed circumstances or “new information of substantial importance” will trigger the need for a subsequent EIR.
As described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously adopted EIR if some changes or additions to an EIR certified for a project are necessary, but none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have occurred. No subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, based on substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following conditions to be applicable:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or #31..
- 1964 -
EIR ADDENDUM
2 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
If any of the triggers set forth above occurs, the City would be required to prepare a subsequent EIR, unless “only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation,” in which case a “supplement to an EIR” would suffice (see CEQA Guidelines, Section 15163). If there are no grounds for either a subsequent EIR or a supplement to an EIR, then the City must prepare an addendum pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, explaining why “some changes or additions” to the EIR “are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.”
As demonstrated in the environmental analysis provided in Section 4 (Environmental Analysis), the proposed changes do not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent EIR or negative declaration.
An addendum is appropriate here because, as explained in Section 4, none of the conditions calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred.
Information and technical analyses from the EIR are utilized throughout this Addendum. Relevant passages from this document (consisting of the EIR) are cited and available for review at:

EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project EA C&ED No. 2026-03 3
2 PROJECT BACKGROUND/PURPOSE OF THE EIR ADDENDUM
The TSP was approved by the City Council in 2008. Since certification of the EIR, much of the 454- acre area has developed with a mix of uses. The following describes the original project.
ORIGINAL PROJECT
The Original Project consisted of adoption and implementation of the TSP which included the development of 454 acres. The Original Project consists of approximately 286 acres of residential land use, totaling 3,241 residential dwelling units, 14 acres of neighborhood-serving commercial, 6 acres of general commercial, 67 acres of regional-serving commercial, 2 acres of professional office space, a 14-acre elementary school site, about 30 acres of parks and open space, 4 acres of public infrastructure, and about 31 acres of interior collector roadways within the Specific Plan area. The Original Project also includes provisions to improve existing traffic and circulation conditions, with construction of new arterial and collector streets for vehicular circulation and linkages to the existing circulation system and transit services.
LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES
The TSP area is located on the northeastern edge of the City of Modesto. Modesto is located approximately 30 miles southeast of Stockton, 70 miles south of Sacramento, and 80 miles east of Oakland. Nearby Central Valley communities include Salida, Ripon, and Manteca to the northwest, Riverbank to the north, and Ceres, Turlock, and Merced to the south.
The TSP is located about four miles northeast of Modesto’s downtown core. State Route 99 is located six miles to the west. Kiernan Avenue (State Route 219) is one mile to the north. The site is bounded by the planned Claratina Avenue extension on the north, Oakdale Road on the west, Sylvan Avenue on the south, and Roselle Avenue on the east.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The TSP was intended to achieve comprehensive master planning and orderly development of the TSP project site, consistent with the policies of the City of Modesto. The following specific objectives have been identified for the TSP:
1. To foster distinctive, attractive developments with a strong sense of place.
2. To provide development consistent with the Neotraditional Planning Principles provided in Section III-C (3) of the Modesto Urban Area General Plan. The primary concept is to provide a complete and integrated community with housing, work places, commercial and retail services, schools, parks, and civic facilities essential to the daily life of the residents.
3. To create a range of housing opportunities and choices with multi-family and/or affordable housing in compliance with the regional housing needs consistent with the Housing Element.

4. To enhance the City’s economic base through increased sales tax revenue.
5. To provide a regional commercial development to serve the east side of the City in a timely manner. To locate regional commercial development along or near regional transportation corridors.
6. To provide commercial and institutional services and employment on the east side of the City to reduce travel time
7. To provide acceptable levels of traffic service on roadways consistent with the General Plan policies and Level of Service standards.
8. To create neighborhoods that encourage pedestrian and bicycle use and link to the commercial, school, and park sites.
9. To ensure public facilities and services are adequately planned and provided with development.
10. To ensure that a financing plan is provided with funding mechanisms for the provision of adequate public facilities and services.
TSP CHARACTERISTICS
Consideration and adoption of the TSP also included consideration of the following actions:
1. Adoption of a General Plan Amendment that includes the following:
o To reclassify a portion of the project site from Village Residential (VR) to Regional Commercial (RC).
o To allow commercial development for the Village Residential designation in the TSP to exceed the recommended 4 percent.
o To allow for the TSP neighborhood center focus that combines a neighborhood park and elementary school.
o To reclassify Claratina Avenue from a four-lane Class B Expressway to a six-lane Principal Arterial with a Class I bike path from Oakdale Road to Roselle Avenue. o To change Sylvan Avenue from a six-lane Principal Arterial to a four-lane Minor Arterial with bike lanes from Oakdale Road to Roselle Avenue. o To include Class II bike lanes along Oakdale Road from Sylvan Avenue to Claribel Avenue.
o To amend the Roselle/Claribel Comprehensive Planning District to allow the TSP to exceed the minimum recommended density of 5.1 units per gross acre.
2. Prezoning of the project site to a Specific Plan Overlay. #31..

3. Annexation of the project site into the City of Modesto including approval by the Local Agency Formation Commission.
4. Adoption of a Facilities Master Plan and an Infrastructure Finance Plan for the TSP area.
5. Formation of a Community Facilities District to fund the construction of “backbone” public infrastructure, maintenance of applicable public facilities, and applicable public services.
6. Approval of a Development Agreement to guide development within the TSP area.
7. Subsequent entitlements, including abandonment of a portion of Mable Avenue, approval of Area Plans, Final Development Plans, tentative maps, Conditional Use Permits, and other City entitlement approvals.
PREVIOUS TSP APPROVALS
As part of the Original Project, the City undertook the following actions:
• Certified the TSP EIR;
• Adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project; and • Approved the TSP.
It is noted that since the TSP was approved, the City has approved several modifications. This includes modifications to Oakdale Road and Claratina Avenue design, which has modifications to the intersections (i.e. roundabouts in lieu of signals), as well as the road section changes that better accommodate the roundabouts and traffic volumes. Additionally, the City has approved various modifications to land uses in several “Development Sub-Areas” within the TSP area. One such modification occurred in 2022 associated with a portion of the Project site as described below:
2022 TSP Arcadia Project (Downzone of MDR-2 and MDR-3)
On April 5, 2022, the Arcadia Development Company submitted a multi-part application to implement the development of Tivoli Area Plan No. 7, generally located north of the existing City of Modesto water well and storage site and southeast of the future Aria Way. The application included a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Final Development Plan to develop the northerly 29.3 gross acres of the Area Plan into 141 single-family residential lots, of which 68 lots are small-lot residential lots. The overall density of the tentative subdivision map was 5.85 units per acre. The area was defined as MDR-2 and MDR-3 in the TSP, but the proposed density of the Arcadia project warranted a downzoning from MDR to LDR.
Pursuant to SB 330, the proposal required the City to provide a concurrent replacement of housing capacity elsewhere in the jurisdiction to make up for the change in capacity associated with the downzoning. The City replaced the MDR use by amending the 29-acre site to LDR, and amending a 25-acre site located in the northwestern part of the TSP from Regional Commercial (RC) to Residential (R) under a GPA. These 25 acres were also designated as Regional Serving Commercial (RSC-1) in the TSP, however, the TSP amendment only changed 17 acres to Low Density Residential #31..
- 1968 -
EIR ADDENDUM
6 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project (LDR-13), and the balance (8 acres) remained RSC-1. The GPA and TSP amendment resulted in an inconsistency between the General Plan and Tivoli Specific Plan and the City intends to reconcile the inconsistency in this EIR Addendum.
To reconcile the 8-acre mapping inconsistency between the GP and TSP, the City has performed an analysis of the capacity needed from the original Arcadia downzoning relative to the actual capacity provided in the two areas that replaced the original MDR from the Arcadia site. The following Table shows three scenarios analyzed: 1) Original Arcadia Site; 2) Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity; and 3) Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity.

Replacement Capacity Discussion:
Original Arcadia Site: The original Arcadia site had a density range of 8-18 for the original MDR-2 and -3 sites. This allowed for a housing capacity of between 234-527 dwelling units as defined by the TSP.
Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity: The replacement of MDR-2, and -3 resulted in the creation of LDR-15 and -13 in the TSP. The Arcadia project constructed an "Actual" dwelling units count of #31..
- 1969 -
EIR ADDENDUM
EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project EA C&ED No. 2026-03 7
141 units within LDR-15. This left a balance needed of between 93 and 386 dwelling units to maintain the original capacity of the Arcadia site. It is noted that the replacement created a mapping inconsistency between the General Plan and TSP, wherein 25 acres of RC was changed to R in the General Plan and only 17.4 acres of RSC-1 was changed to LDR. This left a discrepancy of approximately 8 acres that remained RSC-1 in the TSP but was changed to R in the GP.
Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity: The 17.4 acres redesignated as LDR-13 in the TSP is proposed to be subdivided in 99 units. Combing 141 units built in LDR-15 and the proposed 99 units in LDR-13, the combined "actual" units would be 240 units which is collectively intended to replace the capacity lost from the original Arcadia downzoning. Compared to the original capacity of MDR2 and -3 (234 to 527 units), and the combined capacity of LDR-13 and LDR-15 meet the replacement need within the 8-acre discrepancy that is in question.
Conclusion: The analysis of the three scenarios above (1) Original Arcadia Site; 2) Original Arcadia Replacement Capacity; and 3) Combined Actual Built/Proposed Capacity) shows that the original capacity of the Arcadia site has been met/replaced through the actual units constructed in LDR-15 (141 units), in addition to the proposed subdivision of 17.4 acres into 99 units in LDR-13. This resulted in 240 units, which is within the capacity originally anticipated for the MDR-2 and MDR-3 Arcadia site. The analysis shows that the 8-acre discrepancy that was GP designated as R, even though it remained designated as RSC-1 in the TSP, is not warranted to meet the original replacement capacity needs of the Arcadia project. Given that the residual 8 acres in question is not needed for replacement capacity, and the City intends to reconcile the GP/TSP inconsistency through a GPA that would change the GP land use back to RC. The TSP land use would remain RSC1.
3. PROPOSED PROJECT
Proposed Modifications
The proposed Project includes modifications to the Original Project within six “Development SubAreas” of the TSP Area, with each being owned/controlled by three different Project Applicants (Alves, Mable, and Paregian). The six Development Sub-Areas are adjacent to one another and closely intertwined with circulation and utility plans for the TSP. As such, the three applications are being reviewed collectively as one proposed Project under this EIR Addendum. The six Development Sub-Areas include: VLDR-1, VLDR 3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5. The gross acreage of these Sub-Areas is 65.4 acres, and the blended density ranges from 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre. The blended density would result in between 330 and 583 units within the six Sub-Areas.
In addition, the proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site. The GPA would change the land use from Residential (R) to Regional Commercial (RC), which was the original land use prior to 2022. The modification does not warrant a change to the TSP given that the current TSP land use is Regional Service Commercial (RSC-1). The GPA is intended to ensure that the GP and TSP are internally consistent. Any development of the 8 acres is subject to site plan review and individual environmental clearance/review. The land use change is a City administrative #31..

The proposed Project has 55.5 net developable acres after accounting for ROW/land dedication for Clarantina Avenue, K Street, Mable Avenue, Bridgeway, and a Park/Basin. The proposed Project includes land use modifications to Development Sub-Areas VLDR-3 and MHDR-5. This includes changing the Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1–3 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR12, 4–8 du/acre), and the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18–24 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-13, 4–8 du/acre). The total units proposed to be developed over all Development Sub-Areas after the land use change is 343 residential units, consisting of low-density residential and very low-density residential units. The blended density of the combined proposed Project is 6.2 units per acre, which is within the blended density for the six Development Sub-Areas combined. The table below presents the existing development potential compared to the proposed development.

Figures 2, 3, and 4 provide the proposed site plans for each of the three applications which are described below as follows:
Alves
The proposed Project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to the TSP land use diagram to redesignate approximately six acres within the Alves area from Medium High Density Residential (MHDR-5, 18–24 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-13, 4–8 du/acre). This amendment is intended to reflect the development pattern envisioned for the area and maintain consistency with surrounding low-density residential neighborhoods. In accordance with Section 9.4 of the Specific Plan, the Project includes preparation of Area Plan No. 1, establishing detailed development parameters, circulation layouts, block structure, and utility infrastructure requirements for the Alves planning area. The project proposes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 26.3 acres into 141 single-family residential lots, along with offsite improvements along Clarantina Avenue, Mable Avenue, K Street, and internal streets, and public utility easements as shown in the subdivision map. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of #31..

the Specific Plan, is included to ensure that site design, access, lot configuration, pedestrian connectivity, and neighborhood circulation comply with applicable Specific Plan standards and City development regulations. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Alves project site is shown in Figure 2. The proposed amendment is shown in Figure 7.
Mable
The proposed Project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to modify the TSP land use diagram by redesignating approximately two acres within the Mable area from Very Low Density Residential (VLDR-3, 1–3 du/acre) to Low Density Residential (LDR-12, 4–8 du/acre) to better align with planned development patterns and facilitate an efficient subdivision layout. Consistent with Section 9.4 of the Specific Plan, the Project also includes preparation of the Area Plan No. 4 document to establish development standards, circulation, and infrastructure parameters for the Mable planning area. The project proposes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 22.8 acres into 92 single-family residential lots, along with offsite improvements along Bridgewood Way and Mable Avenue, and internal streets, and public utility easements as shown in the subdivision map. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of the Specific Plan, is included as part of the Project to ensure site design, access, and improvements are consistent with Specific Plan requirements and City development standards. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Mable project site is shown in Figure 3. The proposed amendment is shown in Figure 7.
Paregian
The proposed Project includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map which would subdivide approximately 17.4 acres designated for Low Density Residential (LDR) development into 99 singlefamily residential lots. In addition, the Project would subdivide approximately 5.4 acres designated for Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) development into 11 single-family residential lots, resulting in a total of 110 lots within the Peregian planning area. The subdivision design includes offsite improvements along Claratina Avenue and Mable Avenue, and internal streets, and utility and infrastructure improvements needed to support the proposed residential development. A Final Development Plan, prepared pursuant to Section 9.4.1.2 of the TSP, is included to ensure that neighborhood layout, circulation, and development standards are consistent with the Specific Plan and City of Modesto regulations. The proposed subdivision configuration for the Peregian project site is shown in Figure 4.
GP/TSP Reconciliation (8 acres)
The proposed Project includes a General Plan Amendment to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site. The area in question is illustrated on Figure 6. The GPA would change the land use from Residential (R) to Regional Commercial (RC). The modification does not warrant a change to the TSP given that the current TSP land use is Regional Service Commercial (RSC-1). The GPA is intended to ensure that the GP and TSP are internally consistent.
An evaluation of the 8-acre site shows that the discrepancy was created in 2022 in association with an SB 330 action to replace capacity lost from a downzoning action within the TSP (Arcadia project).
The action resulted in 17.4 acres in the TSP being changed from RSC-1 to LDR-13, in addition to the development site being changed from MDR-2, and -3 to LDR-15. However, an extra 8 acres #31..

EIR ADDENDUM
10 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project immediately adjacent to the LDR-13 site was the subject of the GPA that changed the land use from RC to R. An evaluation of the actual capacity provided from development in the replacement areas (LDR-13, and -15) shows that adequate capacity was provided (240 units built) and that the 8 acres in question is not needed as replacement capacity for the original project. Given that the residual 8 acres in question is not needed for replacement capacity, the City intends to reconcile the GP/TSP inconsistency through a GPA that would change the GP land use back to the original designation of RC, which is consistent with the TSP land use would remain RSC-1.
Surrounding Uses
Urban development associated with the City of Modesto is located to the south and west of the project sites, including established residential neighborhoods, local roadways, and communityserving commercial uses. To the east, land uses consist of low-intensity rural residential parcels and small commercial operations, such as the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer along Roselle Avenue. To the north and northwest, surrounding uses remain predominantly agricultural, including open fields, orchards, and limited rural service uses such as the Village Oak Veterinary Hospital. Overall, the project area is situated at the interface between Modesto’s urban edge and the surrounding agricultural lands, with land use intensity increasing toward Sylvan Avenue and the western boundary.
Existing Uses
The project area consists primarily of undeveloped or cultivated agricultural land, characterized by large open fields with minimal built structures. Existing on-site uses are limited and generally rural in nature, with scattered agricultural operations and a small number of rural residential or ancillary structures. The landscape is largely open, with visibly defined field boundaries and limited roadway infrastructure within the interior of the site. No substantial urban development, commercial activity, or public facilities are present within the project footprint.
Characteristics of the Modified Project
The Modified Project consists of a blending of six Development Sub-Areas into a single cohesive project. This blending of the areas includes a reduction in density for the Alves SPA, and an increase in density on the Mable SPA. The total blended density is within the expected density range for the six Development Sub-Areas as defined in the TSP.

18 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project 4 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Analysis of Impacts Found to be Less Than Significant
Specific impacts within the following categories of environmental effects were found to be less than significant as set forth in more detail in the certified EIR. Following each bullet is a conclusion on whether the proposed revision changes the impact conclusion found in the original EIR.
Section A: Land Use & Planning
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). Like the original project, it has the potential to affect land use as analyzed in Section A of the certified Draft EIR. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. There are several relevant General Plan goals and policies that will remain applicable to the modified project. The project is consistent with those goals and policies. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section B: Agricultural Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas but does not expand the overall development footprint or introduce new areas of disturbance beyond those evaluated in the certified Draft EIR. As analyzed in Section B, Agricultural Resources, of the certified EIR, the original project anticipated the conversion of agricultural land within the TSP area to urban residential uses, consistent with the City’s long-range planning framework. The proposed Project does not increase the total acreage of agricultural land conversion, alter the extent of farmland designation impacts, or affect additional agricultural operations beyond those previously disclosed. No new Williamson Act contract lands are affected, and the #31..

EIR ADDENDUM

modifications do not change the relationship between the project area and adjacent agricultural uses. Accordingly, the proposed Project does not result in new or more severe impacts to agricultural resources compared to the original project, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section C: Visual Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5), but does not substantially change the visual character evaluated in the certified EIR. As with the original project, development would consist of residential neighborhoods with similar building heights, massing, setbacks, and architectural character envisioned under the TSP.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar building heights, massing, setbacks, and architectural character envisioned under the TSP.
While minor changes may incrementally alter localized views within the project area, these changes would not introduce new sources of visual contrast or modify the overall visual framework of the TSP. The proposed Project would continue to transition from existing and planned residential uses and open space in a manner consistent with the approved urban design and landscaping standards, and no new visually sensitive receptors or scenic vistas would be affected beyond those previously analyzed. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section D: Transportation and Circulation
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
Transportation and circulation impacts are affected by changes to land use densities and types. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP #31..

20 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar trip generation and VMT as envisioned under the TSP.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. There are several relevant General Plan goals and policies that will remain applicable to the modified project. The project is consistent with those goals and policies. Additionally, Mitigation Measure D.2, D.4, D.6, were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project.
These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not create significant changes to the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant with mitigation that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section E: Air Quality
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). As with the original project, emissions during project operation would primarily be associated with vehicular traffic and minor stationary sources, which could expose sensitive receptors to criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants (TACs), locally elevate carbon monoxide concentrations, and result in occasional emissions of objectionable odors. As discussed above under Section D: Transportation and Circulation, changes to land use densities and types can affect traffic impacts. The proposed Project would continue to develop residential land uses consistent with the TSP and applicable General Plan designations, and the proposed blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre remains within the allowable TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre.
The GPA to reconcile an inconsistency between the General Plan and the TSP on eight acres immediately adjacent to the Paregian site would bring the General Plan and TSP into consistency with one another. This eight-acre site was originally designated RC and will return to the same land use designation that was originally established for the site in the GP. The site is currently designated RSC-1, which is what was analyzed under the TSP EIR. As with the original project, development in the RC would consist of commercial development with similar trip generation and VMT as envisioned under the TSP. This will translate into similar emissions as originally anticipated, although improvements in vehicle fleet and other emission sources have improved significantly since the original EIR and are expected to be much lower.
The modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, #31..

circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposed modifications would remain within the thresholds assessed in the certified EIR and would not introduce new sources of emissions or increase concentrations beyond previously analyzed levels. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in a new or more severe impact related to operational air quality. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section F: Noise
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). Like the original project, the modified project has the same potential to generate short-term construction noise and long-term operational noise. Construction noise sources, durations, and proximity to existing sensitive receptors would be substantially similar to those previously analyzed in Section F Noise, of the certified EIR. Operational noise associated with vehicular traffic would not significantly increase beyond levels contemplated under the original project assumptions because, as discussed above under Section D: Transportation and Circulation, the modifications do not introduce new land use types, increase development intensity beyond what was contemplated in the original EIR, or alter the overall land use pattern, circulation framework, or compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposed Project would continue to rely on the same regulatory framework, including compliance with City noise standards and construction hour limitations, which were determined to be effective in reducing noise impacts to less than significant levels. Additionally, Mitigation Measure F.2b, F.3, and F.4, were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not create significant changes to the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant with mitigation that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section G: Hazards
The proposed Project would modify the original project by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR5); however, similar to the original Project, it would not introduce land uses or activities that would increase the potential for hazards or hazardous materials impacts. The modified Project would continue to consist of residential development consistent with the TSP, and there is no change that would alter emergency access, evacuation routes, or exposure to off-site hazards. Development would remain subject to the same regulatory requirements, including compliance with applicable fire codes, hazardous materials handling regulations, and emergency response standards evaluated in the certified EIR. The Project would not result in the routine use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials beyond what was contemplated for residential development under #31..

Additionally, Mitigation Measure G.2, was adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section H: Biological Resources
The proposed Project modifies the original Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) by adjusting unit distribution within six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5). As evaluated in Section B, Biological Resources, of the certified EIR, the original Project anticipated development of previously disturbed and planned urbanizing lands consistent with the TSP, with impacts to biological resources reduced to less than significant through compliance with applicable regulations and mitigation measures. The proposed Project does not expand the project footprint, increase disturbance into undeveloped habitat areas, or introduce new land uses that would increase impacts to special-status species, sensitive habitats, or jurisdictional waters beyond what was previously analyzed. Because development remains within the same planning areas, retains the same infrastructure framework, and does not alter open space, park/basin, or roadway configurations, the type, extent, and intensity of biological resource impacts would remain comparable to those evaluated in the certified EIR. Additionally, Mitigation Measures H.4, H.4, H.5, H.6a, H.6b, H.7 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section I: Hydrology and Water Quality
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas but does not alter impervious surface coverage in a manner that would affect stormwater management. Like the original project, the proposed Project has the potential to affect hydrology and water quality as analyzed in Section B of the certified Draft EIR. The development would continue to implement stormwater controls, drainage systems, and other Best Management Practices consistent with the TSP and applicable NPDES requirements. Additionally, Mitigation Measures I.1, I.2, I.3a, I.3b, I.4, I.8 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, #31..

The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
As with the original project, the potential for impacts related to geology, soils, and seismicity—including soil stability, erosion, expansive soils, liquefaction, and seismic ground shaking—remains consistent with the conditions analyzed in Section J of the certified Draft EIR. The modifications do not increase development intensity beyond what was previously contemplated, nor do they introduce new structures or alter the types of construction anticipated. Applicable building codes, engineering standards, and mitigation measures established in the certified EIR would continue to address potential geologic and seismic hazards. Additionally, Mitigation Measures J.1, and J.2 were adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section K: Community Services
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
As such, the demand for community services, including police, fire protection, and emergency medical services, would remain consistent with the assumptions and analysis presented in the certified Draft EIR. While the precise distribution of units among the sub-areas has been adjusted, the total residential population and associated service needs are within the range previously analyzed. The modifications do not introduce new land uses or substantially increase service demand beyond what was anticipated in the original EIR. Additionally, Mitigation Measure K.3 was adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. This mitigation measure will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section L: Utilities and Services Systems
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).

These mitigation measures will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section M: Water Supply
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting unit distribution within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5).
Water supply for the proposed Project would continue to be provided by the same public water system identified in the certified EIR, with demand proportional to the 343 residential units, which is within the range of units analyzed in the original TSP EIR. The modifications do not increase development intensity beyond what was previously evaluated, nor do they introduce new water uses or change the project’s water infrastructure. Additionally, Mitigation Measure M.2 was adopted and will remain applicable to the modified project. This mitigation measure will remain unchanged and will be implemented as provided by the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.
Section N: Population and Housing
The proposed Project modifies the original project by adjusting the distribution of residential units within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5) while maintaining the overall unit total of 343 and a blended density of approximately 6.2 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the original TSP range of 5 to 8.9 dwelling units per acre. Like the original project, the proposed Project would continue to provide housing consistent with the General Plan’s land use designations and support the projected population growth anticipated in the certified EIR. Because there is no increase in total units, no new residential types are introduced, and no changes to site layout, roadways, or unit mix occur that would substantially affect population distribution, the modifications would not result in additional population growth or housing demand beyond what was analyzed in the original EIR. The project modifications do not cause significant changes to the land uses on the developed site, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of less than significant that was provided in the certified EIR.

Analysis of Impacts Found to be Significant and Unavoidable The DEIR indicates that implementation of the original project would create several adverse environmental impacts, which are documented in Chapter IV. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation of the DEIR. The DEIR recommends mitigation measures for most of these impacts which, if implemented, would reduce these impacts to a level of insignificance. However, several impacts were determined to be unavoidable, even within the implementation of mitigation measures described in the DEIR. This section briefly addresses these unavoidable adverse impacts.
Agricultural Resources
The original project implementation projected a loss of productive agricultural land within the project site, and that loss would contribute to the cumulative loss of farmland in the Modesto area as the city grows. The modified project remains consistent with the planned land uses and densities of the TSP and does not introduce new types of development or substantially expand the project footprint beyond what was already anticipated; meaning there will be no new loss of productive agricultural land. The proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Air Quality
The original project implementation projected increased activities that generate air pollutant emissions within the project site. Construction-related emissions would occur but are anticipated to be less then previously anticipated given modern construction equipment, practices, and dust control measures. Operational emissions associated with vehicle trips, energy use, and other activities are comparable to or lower than those analyzed in the original TSP, particularly given current vehicle emission standards and lower per-capita emissions compared to vehicle fleet standards at the time of the original analysis. Overall, with compliance with applicable San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District rules and regulations, the proposed Project would not result in a new or substantially more severe air quality impact than was previously identified.
The proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Traffic
The original project projected increased traffic volumes as the TSP was implemented.
There were various improvements proposed to mitigate the impacts associated with traffic volumes that were anticipated. Additionally, the City has continued to analyze the circulation system over the last two decades, and has developed alternative improvements (i.e. roundabouts) at key intersections to improve traffic conditions. The proposed modifications do not increase the severity of any impact that was anticipated.
The existing development potential within the six Development Sub-Areas (VLDR-1, VLDR-3, LDR-9, LDR-12, LDR-13, and MHDR-5) is between 2,813 and 5,101 average daily #31..

26 EIR Addendum – Modesto GPA/Tivoli Specific Plan Project trips (9.44 ADT- LDR and VLDR, and 6.65 ADT for MHDR (ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition) when considering the maximum and minimum density allowed.
Development with the proposed modifications and site plans would result in the six Development Sub-Areas generating approximately 3,237 average daily trips (ADT) (343 units × 9.44 trips/unit/day = 3,237 ADT), which is below the maximum, and within the expected range. Comparatively, this is 1,864 ADT below the expected ADT under the maximum development potential for the six Development Sub-Areas.
The proposed modifications do not significantly affect traffic volumes, operations, or circulation patterns from what was evaluated in the certified EIR, and they do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.
Noise
The original project implementation projected increased activities that generate noise.
Construction noise would occur in comparable phases and magnitudes as originally planned, with no new or unusual noise-generating operations introduced. Operational noise from residential use, including vehicle trips on local streets and typical outdoor activities, would be consistent with what was anticipated under the original TSP. Overall, the proposed Project would comply with the City of Modesto Noise Ordinance, and any minor changes in site layout or unit distribution would not result in substantially higher noise levels than those evaluated in the certified EIR. However, the proposed modifications do not change the environmental conclusion of significant and unavoidable that was provided in the certified EIR.

The EIR found that growth inducing impacts associated with the Original Project were primarily related to the economic aspects of the direct increases in population and employment and result in the demand for a range of goods and services to meet the production and consumption needs of additional economic and residential activity. The modified project may generate minor changes in population and employment compared to the Original Project; however, these differences are within the range of growth previously analyzed. The Modified Project is expected to provide a similar population growth on the site relative what was anticipated under the Original Project.
Analysis of Impacts Found to be Irreversible Changes
The EIR found that the original project would entail the commitment of natural resources, energy resources, and human resources, and that the ongoing maintenance of the project site by the occupants will entail further commitment of energy resources in the form of natural gas and electricity generated by coal, hydro-electric power, or nuclear energy. The EIR found that the original project would irreversibly alter vacant land and convert agricultural uses, and would preclude the use of the site from other uses or open space. The EIR found that these commitments constitute long-term #31..

obligations since it is generally impossible to return the land to its original condition once it has been developed. This irreversible change is not applicable to the modified project, as the site has already been converted and it was recognized that there would be a commitment of natural resources, energy resources, and human resources to the project and on-going maintenance.
