7.1. Parks & Recreation Master Plan Presentation (Gates & Associates):
Ex-Officio Andrade introduced the item, which is a presenration is regarding the Parks & Recreation Master Plan that has been under development since 2012. This overall plan has taken several years since there were other master plans that have also been under development for the past decade Dana and Linda from Gates and Associates presented the item to the Commission.
Linda Gates from Gates & Associates led the presentation and provided a thorough background and overview ofthe Parks & Recreation Master plan project which dates back to the adoption ofthe City's General Plan that looked into projected growth for the next 30 years. The update ofthe City's General Plan would take the ciry from a 20,000 population to 60,000 population (tripled in size). This would require the city to look into forward planning. looking into various comprehensive studies including transportation, stormwater, parks and recreation. and other areas needed to address needs for the community as it grows.
Commissioners and staff thanked Gates and Associates for their presentation. Ex-Officio Andrade recommended to the Commission to review and provide comments on this document as well as show support fbr the approval. The plan would be going to City Council for formal adoption as this document would serve as a guide lor future groMh. Also encouraged them to participate and attend the Council meeting during the adoption of this important document.
Commissioner Cooper asked regarding the acreage shown in the master plan. She was asking if the storm basins were included as part ofthe acreage. Linda Gates explained that the storm basins are given a ratio as these have multiple uses and can't be used 100% as part facility. They are designed as dual use facilities.
Commissioner Cooper also questioned if development pay their fair share for the costs ofthese new facilities or if they only donate the land or pay fbr any playground equipment. etc. Linda Gates explained that development is required to do two things I ) donate the land and 2) pay fees to develop the park facilities. Ifthey don't have land to donate, they are required to pay higher fees. The fees are established and adjusted to ensure that they are updated reflect current costs although this sometimes does take time and can lag at times.
Chair Fernandez did ask when it would be a good time for the Commission to reach out to the Council. Presentation only covered an overview of what is included in the Master Plan document and identified whar the needs and visions are for the future facilities. A copy ofthe Parks & Recreation

Planning Commission Meetings
On April 14, 2022, the Planning Commission met to consider the following items:
1. Southern Tire Mart, Architectural & Site Plan Review #21-09, Conditional Use Permit #21-10, 2275 Sperry Avenue
A public hearing to consider an Architectural and Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for the construction of an 8,500 sf light, truck maintenance facility with three bays, a waiting area, a shop warehouse, two restrooms, an office and a breakroom. The proposed facility will be developed on the existing Pilot Flying J parking lot located at 2275 Sperry Avenue. The facility will service existing tractor trailer customers already utilizing the existing Pilot Flying J. The services offered will be minor repairs which include tire change, oil and lube service, brakes and drums, starter replacement and various other preventative maintenance. Proposed hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. with 3-5 employees onsite during business hours.
The project also includes parking for employees. The project site is located within the West Patterson Projects area, for which the West Patterson Projects EIR was certified in October of 2002. The amount of commercial development proposed by this project was included and analyzed in the certified West Patterson Projects EIR. The city has evaluated the project against the environmental checklist, as recommended in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, to compare the environmental impacts of the “proposed project” with those of the “approved project” (i.e., development approved in the West Patterson Projects EIR) and to identify whether the proposed project would likely result in new significant environmental impacts.
Based on this analysis, Staff is recommending that no additional environmental review is necessary. The Planning Commission approved this item with a 4-1 vote.
2. Sperry Commercial Park, Phase 2 - Planned Development #21-01, Tentative Parcel Map #22-01
A Planned Development Overlay on APN 021-093-008, a 20.25 acre lot located approximately 1,500 feet south of Sperry Avenue, between the California Aqueduct and the Delta Mendota Canal. The site is currently zoned for General Commercial land uses. The overlay would also allow West Patterson Light Industrial Zoning land uses. A parcel map is also proposed that would divide the property into four parcels or 10.05, 6.9, 2.1, and 0.63 acres in size, with the remainder proposed for street circulation. The 2.1 acre parcel would be provided for a storm drain basin. The project is exempt from review under CEQA. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this item to the City Council with a 5-0 vote.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
The City is currently partnering with 23 other Phase II agencies to address the State orders received to comply with the CV Pyrethroid TMDL and Baseline stormwater quality monitoring requriements. This new requirement is looking at the affects of pyrethroid pesticides that enter the waterways through the storm drainage systems/stormwater runoff. This requirement can have a significant financial impact to Phase I and II Cities and would require that they perform toxicity/pyrethroid testing/monitoring and water/sediments four times per year. The Phase II Cities are already participating and paying their fair share of the Delta Regional Monitoring Program tha is managed by the State. The City has partnered with several Cities/Agencies to hire a consultant to help develop a monitoring plan that would be submitted to the State by 2020/21. The partners have joined efforts to contract out with a consultant to assist with the implementation of the Pyrethroids Management Program. A total of 20 agencies have agreed to participate in this effort. The first kickoff meeting is scheduled for 11/4/21. The City of Patterson is taking the lead on this effort and will be a key player on managing this project.

Attachment: Monthly Department Reports (Monthly Department Reports) 4 On April 7, 2015, the State Water Board adopted an Amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (Ocean Plan) to Control Trash and Part 1 Trash Provision of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries (ISWEBE Plan). Together, they are collectively referred to as 'the Trash Amendments'. The project objective for the Trash Amendments is to provide statewide consistency for the Water Boards' regulatory approach to protect aquatic life and public health beneficial uses, and reduce environmental issues associated with trash in state waters, while focusing limited resources on high trash generating areas. The State has adopted Trash Policy Amendments which will require all Stormwater Phase II MS4 Cities must comply with. Staff will be working closely with Engineering and storm drainage consultant firm to begin working on table top exercises and Cost estimates so that the City is prepared for implementation of the most cost-efficient option. The City received a letter requesting selection of our preferred option as well as submit a jurisdictional map showing the land use priority areas:
1. Track 1: Install, operate and maintain full capture systems in storm drains that capture runoff from the priority land uses;
2. Track 2: Implement a plan with any combination of treatment controls, institutional controls, and/or multi-benefit projects within the jurisdiction of the MS4 permitted.
Demonstrate full capture system equivalency. Expectation is to install capture systems to the extent not cost-prohibitive.
Staff has submitted their Track (Track 1) option and Preliminary Jurisdictional Map to the State via the SMARTS electronic system and has up to 10 years to implement their trash devices in the areas identified in their plan/map.
An RFP was put out to request proposals for consulting services to assist the City with implementation and design of the City’s trash capturing unit. Two prposals were obtained and are currently under review. A contract will be awarded to Stantec Consultanting during April to begin the first phase of this project. The City has hired Stantec (Storm Drainage Consultant) to assist with the implementation plan, design, and to consult with the State regarding this item. A Technical Memo has been submitted to the State during the month of November 2020 and the City is working with the hired consultant to finalize the options. This is a phased project, but the goal is to get this project designed and ready to go out for construction. The City will be seeking a Prop 1 grant once the project is shovel ready. A new Phase II Stormwater Permit is in progress at the State level. Once it is adopted, it will be implemented. Currently the permit is being held up due to the COVID-19 emergency.In the meantime, the City must comply with everything that is in the current permit. It is anticipated that the new permit will be implemented in 2022. Under this new permit, the school districts will be brought in and will be required to have their own stormwater programs.
The new Construction General permit for construction activities disturbing one or more acres of dirt during construction will be released during this year. Once the permit is released, staff will attend trainings to obtain information on all the changes. The release of the permit is taking longer due to the COVID-19 situation. It is anticipated that the permit will be released in 2022.
The City is completing the Pyrethroids Management Plan. On June 8, 2017, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) adopted Resolution R5-2017-

Attachment: Monthly Department Reports (Monthly Department Reports) 5 0057, the Basin Plan Amendment (BPA) for the Control of Pyrethroid Pesticide Discharges.1 The BPA was subsequently approved by the State Water Resources Control Board on July 10, 2018 and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on February 19, 2019. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved the Pyrethroid Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the nine urban creeks in Sacramento and Roseville on April 22, 2019. With these approvals, the TMDLs and BPA became fully approved and effective.
The BPA established a Pyrethroids Control Program that includes a variety of actions including, but not limited to:
• Monitoring requirements to assess baseline conditions, as well as continued trend monitoring.
• A conditional prohibition for pyrethroid discharges in exceedance of numeric triggers for Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basin water bodies with the aquatic life beneficial uses.
o If the numeric triggers are exceeded, the conditional prohibition requires the development and submittal of a Pyrethroid Management Plan (Management Plan) to reduce pyrethroid levels in discharges to the maximum extent practicable.
All Phase II Cities are subject to the conditional prohibition, and are not subject to the TMDL required to provide baseline monitoring to the Regional Water Board. However, municipalities regulated pursuant to the Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit Phase II Permit may, as an alternative, acknowledge that the existing data are representative of their discharge and forego baseline monitoring and develop a Management Plan. As such, a Management Plan is being finalized on behalf of the City of Patterson, as required for all Phase II permittees. The plan along with a Pyrethroids Management Policy was submitted to the State on August 19, 2021. The City is working with other agencies to implement this program and comply with this requriement. Ongoing meetings are being held on a regular basis. A total of 20 cities are partnering to comply with Pyrethroids management requirements. These are the main projects which Public Works and Engineering are focusing on. These projects include:
o Staff continues to work with Engineering to develop the City’s Track 1 Trash Implementation Plan to comply with the State’s Trash Policy requirements. The plan was submitted to the State on December 2018 and the City has 10 years from this date to complete the implementation of their full trash capture plan. Design funds were approved in the FY 19/20 budget. Proposals for design were received and a consultant agreement is currently in progress.

MONTHLY STAFF REPORT
July 2022
Administration & Environmental Compliance Division
The formal SRF loan agreement was approved and has been fully executed for the WQCF LEED Administration Building Project. The bids were opened and the contract has been awarded to BOBO Construction. The project is currently under construction soon. The city completed the required first site inspection with the State Water Resources Control Board on July 27, 2022. This site inspection was held virtually. The City has applied for SRF Loan funding for a City water meter system replacement project.
The project would replace older water meters in the City to help with water system revenue losses and improve overall utility system management. The bid package has been finalized and the project has gone out to bid. Engineering will be awarding a contract soon. Staff has been working with Willdan Consulting on updating several City facility, Parks and Recreation impact fees. Staff has met with the consultant and the Parks & Recreation Master Plan consultant during October to go over the costs associated with parks/recreational facilities. The impact fee study is very close to complete and staff will be presenting the item to Council for approval of new proposed fees in July/August 2022. This process will involve stakeholders meetings.
Staff has been working closely with Planning, Recreation/Community Services, and Engineering on the new Parks Master Plan update. Community Outreach has been in progress for over two months through attendance at community events, surveys have been collected via the City’s social media, website, and other avenues. Once the plan is complete, staff will present this item to Council for approval soon. The master plan was presented to the Parks, Recreation and Beutification Commission on July 27, 2022. Staff is working along other departments and City Attorney’s office to update the City’s municipal code. This will provide more updated codes to help the City comply with many state/federal regulations and provide more enforceable code of law that would allow everyone in the community to live and work safely, productively and in compliance with all environmental laws.
Staff is working on Public Outreach & Education programs that addresses Water Conservation, Recycling, Stormwater Pollution Prevention, and FOG. Currently the City has a Water Conservation Booth at the end of every month to help promote Cash for Grass, Toilet Retrofit, and plumbing retrofits to help the community conserve water.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
The City is currently partnering with 23 other Phase II agencies to address the State orders received to comply with the CV Pyrethroid TMDL and Baseline stormwater quality monitoring requriements. This new requirement is looking at the affects of pyrethroid pesticides that enter the waterways through the storm drainage systems/stormwater runoff. This requirement can have a significant financial impact to Phase I and II Cities and would require that they perform toxicity/pyrethroid testing/monitoring and water/sediments four times per year. The Phase II Cities are already participating and paying their fair share of the Delta Regional Monitoring Program tha is managed by the State. The City has partnered with several Cities/Agencies to hire a consultant to help develop a monitoring plan that would be submitted to the State by 2020/21. The partners have joined efforts to contract out with a consultant to assist with the implementation of the Pyrethroids Management Program. A total of 20 agencies have agreed to participate in this effort. The first kickoff meeting is scheduled for 11/4/21. The City of Patterson is taking the lead on this effort and will be a key player on managing this project.
On April 7, 2015, the State Water Board adopted an Amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (Ocean Plan) to Control Trash and Part 1 Trash Provision of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries (ISWEBE Plan). Together, they are collectively referred to as 'the Trash Amendments'. The project objective for the Trash Amendments is to provide statewide consistency for the Water Boards' regulatory approach to protect aquatic life and public health beneficial uses, and reduce environmental issues associated with trash in state waters, while focusing limited resources on high trash generating areas. The State has adopted Trash Policy Amendments which will require all Stormwater Phase II MS4 Cities must comply with. Staff will be working closely with Engineering and storm drainage consultant firm to begin working on table top exercises and Cost estimates so that the City is prepared for implementation of the most cost-efficient option. The City received a letter requesting selection of our preferred option as well as submit a jurisdictional map showing the land use priority areas:
1. Track 1: Install, operate and maintain full capture systems in storm drains that capture runoff from the priority land uses;
5.6.a
Packet Pg. 57
Attachment: Monthly Department Reports (Monthly Department Reports) 4 2. Track 2: Implement a plan with any combination of treatment controls, institutional controls, and/or multi-benefit projects within the jurisdiction of the MS4 permitted.
Demonstrate full capture system equivalency. Expectation is to install capture systems to the extent not cost-prohibitive.
Staff has submitted their Track (Track 1) option and Preliminary Jurisdictional Map to the State via the SMARTS electronic system and has up to 10 years to implement their trash devices in the areas identified in their plan/map.
An RFP was put out to request proposals for consulting services to assist the City with implementation and design of the City’s trash capturing unit. Two prposals were obtained and are currently under review. A contract will be awarded to Stantec Consultanting during April to begin the first phase of this project. The City has hired Stantec (Storm Drainage Consultant) to assist with the implementation plan, design, and to consult with the State regarding this item. A Technical Memo has been submitted to the State during the month of November 2020 and the City is working with the hired consultant to finalize the options. This is a phased project, but the goal is to get this project designed and ready to go out for construction. The City will be seeking a Prop 1 grant once the project is shovel ready. A new Phase II Stormwater Permit is in progress at the State level. Once it is adopted, it will be implemented. Currently the permit is being held up due to the COVID-19 emergency.In the meantime, the City must comply with everything that is in the current permit. It is anticipated that the new permit will be implemented in 2022. Under this new permit, the school districts will be brought in and will be required to have their own stormwater programs.
The new Construction General permit for construction activities disturbing one or more acres of dirt during construction will be released during this year. Once the permit is released, staff will attend trainings to obtain information on all the changes. The release of the permit is taking longer due to the COVID-19 situation. It is anticipated that the permit will be released in 2022.
The City is completing the Pyrethroids Management Plan. On June 8, 2017, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) adopted Resolution R5-2017- 0057, the Basin Plan Amendment (BPA) for the Control of Pyrethroid Pesticide Discharges.1 The BPA was subsequently approved by the State Water Resources Control Board on July 10, 2018 and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on February 19, 2019. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved the Pyrethroid Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the nine urban creeks in Sacramento and Roseville on April 22, 2019. With these approvals, the TMDLs and BPA became fully approved and effective.
The BPA established a Pyrethroids Control Program that includes a variety of actions including, but not limited to:
• Monitoring requirements to assess baseline conditions, as well as continued trend monitoring.
• A conditional prohibition for pyrethroid discharges in exceedance of numeric triggers for Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basin water bodies with the aquatic life beneficial uses.
5.6.a
Packet Pg. 58
Attachment: Monthly Department Reports (Monthly Department Reports) 5 o If the numeric triggers are exceeded, the conditional prohibition requires the development and submittal of a Pyrethroid Management Plan (Management Plan) to reduce pyrethroid levels in discharges to the maximum extent practicable.
All Phase II Cities are subject to the conditional prohibition, and are not subject to the TMDL required to provide baseline monitoring to the Regional Water Board. However, municipalities regulated pursuant to the Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit Phase II Permit may, as an alternative, acknowledge that the existing data are representative of their discharge and forego baseline monitoring and develop a Management Plan. As such, a Management Plan is being finalized on behalf of the City of Patterson, as required for all Phase II permittees. The plan along with a Pyrethroids Management Policy was submitted to the State on August 19, 2021. The City is working with other agencies to implement this program and comply with this requriement. Ongoing meetings are being held on a regular basis. A total of 20 cities are partnering to comply with Pyrethroids management requirements. These are the main projects which Public Works and Engineering are focusing on. These projects include:
o Staff continues to work with Engineering to develop the City’s Track 1 Trash Implementation Plan to comply with the State’s Trash Policy requirements. The plan was submitted to the State on December 2018 and the City has 10 years from this date to complete the implementation of their full trash capture plan. Design funds were approved in the FY 19/20 budget. Proposals for design were received and a consultant agreement is currently in progress. The kickoff meeting was held and the project is currently in progress. The City will be submitting their implementation plan and full trash capture device option(s) to the State. Once approved, staff will work on the next phases of this project which includes preliminary projects design/bid plans.
The City will be exploring Prop 1 grant opportunities for this project. o WQCF Administration LEED Building. This project has been awarded for construction. o WM-1B (Kinshire) Waterline Replacement Project. Project was awarded and is currently unde construction.
o Ward Avenue Sewer Lift Station Rehabilitation Project. This project is currently in design.

BY: Nubia Goldstein, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: August 16, 2022
ITEM NO: 5.7
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-55, Authorizing the City to Implement Teleconferenced Public Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2022-55, Authorizing the City to Implement Teleconferenced Public Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment.
BACKGROUND
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361 which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Ralph M. Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the previous Executive Orders temporarily suspending provisions of the Brown Act. On September 20, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-15-21 to suspend AB 361 until October 1, 2021. Over the past year, meetings of the City’s legislative bodies have been held with virtual teleconference components.
AB 361, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when a local legislative body holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency by the governor and when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
5.7 Packet Pg. 68
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which among other things rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.
As the Delta variant has surged in California, the Legislature has taken action to extend the COVID-19 exceptions to the Brown Act’s teleconference requirements, subject to some additional safeguards. AB 361 allows a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the Brown Act provisions in any of the following circumstances:
• The local legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency by the governor, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
• The local legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency by the governor for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
• The local legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency by the governor and has determined, by majority vote that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
A local agency that holds a meeting under these circumstances would be required by AB 361 to do all of the following, in addition to giving notice of the meeting and posting agendas as required under the Brown act. These additional requirements are intended to protect the public’s right to participate in the meetings of local agency legislative bodies.
Pursuant to AB 361 local agencies are required to do all of the following in addition to meeting notice requirements under the Brown Act:
• Allow the public to access the meeting and require that the agenda provide an opportunity for the public to directly address the legislative body pursuant to the Brown Act’s other teleconferencing provisions.
• In each instance when the local agency provides notice of the teleconferenced meeting or posts its agenda, give notice for how the public can access the meeting and provide public comment.
• Identify and include in the agenda an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in or an internet-based service option; the legislative body need not provide a physical location for the public to attend or provide comments.
• Conduct teleconference meetings in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the public.
• Stop the meeting until public access is restored in the event of a service disruption that either prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to the public using the call-in or internet-based service option or is within the local agency’s control and
5.7 Packet Pg. 69
prevents the public from submitting public comments (any actions taken during such a service disruption can be challenged under the Brown Act’s existing challenge provisions).
• Not require comments be submitted in advance (though the legislative body may provide that as an option) and provide the opportunity to comment in real time. • Provide adequate time for public comment, either by establishing a timed public comment period or by allowing a reasonable amount of time to comment. • If the legislative body uses a third-party website or platform to host the teleconference, and the third-party service requires users to register to participate, the legislative body must provide adequate time during the comment period for users to register and may not close the registration comment period until the comment period has elapsed.
AB 361 also provides that if a local agency conducts teleconference meetings in reliance on AB 361, the local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules:
•The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and • Either of the following circumstances exists: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.
The goal of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options” consistent with Executive Order N-29-20. AB 361 contains an urgency clause which became effective upon signing with a sunset of January 1, 2024. However, shortly after signing AB 361, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-15-21 to suspend AB 361 until October 1, 2021.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2022- 56 Approving 5-Year License Agreement between the City of Patterson (City) and Turlock Irrigation District (TID) for the Use and Occupy a Portion of the City Facility Located at 1033 W. Las Palmas Avenue (APN# 021-070-002) for Installation of Electric Vehicle Recharging Stations.
BACKGROUND
Turlock Irrigation District received grant funds to install electric vehicle recharging stations and has been in discussions with the City to identify locations for the installation of these stations in Patterson. Several locations were analyzed and TID has identified that the best location would be at the Community Complex parking lot located at 1033 W. Las Palmas Avenue.
Terms and conditions are described in the agreement. The facilities would be available for public use and TID would be responsible for all ongoing maintenance and repairs. The cost to the public would be similar to what other public EV charging stations charge at other city facilities, but rates ultimately set by TID. Signage and striping would be installed to identify these facilities.
ANALYSIS

ITEM NO: 5.9
SUBJECT: Approve Bid for Corporation Yard Asphalt Improvements and Authorize Staff to Execute Change Order with United Pavement Maintenance.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Approve Bid for Corporation Yard Asphalt Improvements and Authorize Staff to Execute Change Order with United Pavement Maintenance.
BACKGROUND
As a result of the impact of new development on the East side of Patterson there is a present need for additional space which is both closer in proximity to new development and provides a place to station equipment, material, and personnel. With equipment and material available at the city's older corporation yard, located at 420 South 4th street, response times and overall efficiency of Public Works operations will improve. The corporation yard facility is in fair condition but will require some additional improvement to make the yard serviceable for regular use. The pavement parking lot is in poor condition and will require repair. Impact fees have been budgeted to make the necessary repairs. The paving work is part of an overall rehabilitation and upgrade of the old corporation yard. As the city has grown so has the staffing, including a new Electrical and Instrumentation division based at this facility. The rehabilitation project has also included new fencing and security cameras, additional storage with enclosed vehicle bays, as well as upgraded offices and communications.
ANALYSIS
The required improvements include removing the existing asphalt, grading, compacting, installing new asphalt, and four new drains. After meeting with several contractors, issues arose.
With the size of the project being on a small-scale, most of the companies would not provide a
5.9 Packet Pg. 89
quote. The cost for staging material and equipment for these improvements were not economical. United Pavement Maintenance was the only company willing to bid the project, and that was directly related to the fact they have material and equipment currently staged in Patterson, while they are working on the WM-1B water project. Approval of this item would authorize a change order to the WM-1B project. This proximity significantly reduced the proposal cost because the equipment and material are already staged in proximity to the project site. This scenario provides a window of opportunity to complete the improvements at the corporation yard in a timely and cost-effective manner. The proposal provided by United Pavement Maintenance includes removing existing asphalt, grading, compacting, paving, concrete, new drain inlets and the project area will improve approximately 12,000 square feet of usable space.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposal provided by United Pavement Maintenance includes removing existing asphalt, grading, compacting, paving, concrete, new drain inlets. The project will have a $155,073.64 impact and will be funded by General Government Impact Fees, which have already been budgeted and approved in the FY 22/23 budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2022-57, Approving the Formation of Patterson Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Safety Services), Resolution No. 2022-58, Calling the Special Landowner Election, and Resolution No. 2022-59, Declaring the Results of the Special Election.
Motion to Approve First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 861, Reading by Title Only, Waiving Further Reading, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Patterson, Levying Special Tax Within Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Safety Services)
BACKGROUND
The City of Patterson formed Community Facilities District No. 2003-1 (Public Safety/Fire Protection Services) (“CFD 2003-1”) in January 2003. At that time the Heartland Ranch and Miraggio development projects were included in the CFD 2003-1 boundary, and a future annexation area was designated for the area that would become the Patterson Gardens development. In 2017, additional undeveloped land was added to the designated future annexation area. Since its formation, more than 20 development projects have annexed to CFD 2003-1.
7.1 Packet Pg. 108
As the cost of providing service has increased over time, the City contracted with NBS to prepare a Fiscal Impact Analysis to determine of the special taxes within CFD 2003-1 are commensurate with the cost of providing services to new development. That Fiscal Impact analysis estimates the amount of revenue the City receives for ongoing services because of new development and compares that to the cost of providing public safety services. The result, as shown in the attached 2021 Comprehensive Public Safety Feasibility Study and Service Level Analysis (“2021 Analysis”), indicates that the rates established with CFD 2003-1 (as escalated pursuant to the methodology) are not sufficient to offset the negative fiscal impact for specific development types.
To implement the rates calculated by the 2021 Analysis, the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Safety Services) (“CFD 2022-01”) is presented for consideration. CFD 2022-01 designates future annexation area and is contemplated to be used going forward as the funding mechanism for public safety services for new development in the City. CFD 2003-1 would remain in place and those parcels that are within the boundaries of CFD 2003-1 would remain subject to CFD 2003-1 special taxes.
ANALYSIS
The formation of CFD 2022-01 will allow the City the levy special taxes on parcels within or that annex to in the future to fund public safety services. The Resolution Establishing the CFD is to be considered following tonight’s noticed public hearing. The Resolution Calling a Special Election is to be considered next. The ballots are to be tabulated and then the Resolution Declaring Results of a Special Election is to be considered. If the measure passes, the City Council may proceed with the introduction and first reading of the Ordinance Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes. The second reading and adoption of the Ordinance Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes will occur at a succeeding City Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
The developers of the Baldwin Ranch project have been invoiced by the Department of Public Works for the costs to form the proposed CFD 2022-01, including the cost of formation counsel and the special tax consultant. If CFD 2022-01 is formed, the City will annually levy a special tax on the parcels in the CFD to fund the specified public safety services, with initial rates as specified in the Rate and Method off Apportionment of Special Tax for the CFD, increasing by the positive annual change in the April-to-April San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA CPI-U index, with a minimum change of 3 percent and a maximum change of 6 percent. As parcels annex to CFD 2022-01 in the future, their maximum annual special tax rates will be determined at the time they annex to the CFD. Included in the special tax rates are amounts to help offset increased staff time to administer this CFD, along with costs associated with other administration costs anticipated to be incurred by the CFD.

PROJECT SITE
The Master Plan is comprised of two project areas. The Zacharias project area is 1,296 acres located on the north end of the City of Patterson generally bounded by Rogers Road (west), Zacharias Road (north), the California Northern Railroad tracks and Ward Avenue (east), and existing residential and business park uses (south). The project area also includes the 30.1 acre Recharge Basin located on the north side of Zacharias Road to the west of the project area, and the 39.4 acre FEMA flood retention area on the north side of Zacharias Road and west of Baldwin Road.
The Baldwin Ranch project area is 66 acres located at the south end of Baldwin Road and is contiguous to the Delta-Mendota Canal (west), the City of Patterson Corporation Yard (north), and agricultural uses (east and south).
BACKGROUND
Both the Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch areas are included in the 2010 General Plan, adopted on November 20, 2010, as areas for future urban expansion. Planning for these areas began in 2018. The Planning Commission and City Council held workshops in 2018 to review site constraints and opportunities. The Planning Commission endorsed a set of Guiding Principles to set the direction for planning of these areas. These Guiding Principles are summarized below.
In late 2018, the developer stakeholder group submitted development plans for both project areas; thus, initiating the formal process for consideration of the Master Plan. The goal was for the developer-initiated plans to serve as the basis for the comprehensive Master Plan under the oversight and direction of the City. Upon review, the City also included the “Ivy-Rose Ranchette Area” (discussed in further detail below) in the master plan area to prevent the creation of an unincorporated peninsula, which could pose a potential conflict for the annexation process through the Local Agency Formation Commission. The Notice of Preparation for the start of the Environmental Impact Report was issued on December 21, 2018.
The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 12, 2021, and recommended approval of the above entitlements. The Planning Commission also held a Study Session on July 22, 2021. The Planning Commission will consider recommendation of the Development Agreement at a later date prior to action by the City Council. The Planning Commission hearing focused on the following topics:
• Amount of park acreage. The Master Plan was amended to confirm the project meets parkland dedication requirements.
• Bicycle/pedestrian connections west of Baldwin Road. The Master Plan was amended to show links to the north-south collector the north-south collector street to the west, Baldwin Road and Zacharias Road.
• Zacharias Road crossing to the community park and high school. The Master Plan was amended to add a grade separated crossing facility either over or under Zacharias Road.
The crossing will require additional right-of-way to be dedicated by the project
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 151 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 3
proponents for a landing area to meet ADA requirements. The final location of the over/undercrossing will be determined at a later time.
• Ivy-Rose ranchette area: Commissioners and the public commented on phasing, nonconforming uses, fencing, utilities, and street ends in this area. The Master Plan was amended to clarify that the southern portion may not be in Phase I. Staff provided clarifications on non-conforming uses, how fencing will be constructed in a phased manner, and how utility connections will be handled in the future. The Master Plan was amended clarify that cul-de-sacs at the end of Ivy and Rose Avenues would only be required when the properties develop.
Since the Planning Commission Public Hearing, City staff have been involved in discussions on the following topics:
• Refinement of the Infrastructure Plan and Fee Schedule • Discussions with the Patterson Unified School District regarding school fees and school locations.
• Discussions with project proponents on the formation of the Community Facilities District (“CFD”)
• Preparation of a draft Development Agreement
The City Council held a Study Session on August 8, 2022. Below is a list of topics where Councilmembers asked for clarification. Staff will provide an oral update and/or an addendum at the August 16 public hearing.
• Amount of commercial space: Are the proposed commercial areas adequate to meet the needs of future residents? The Master Plan includes a 22.2-acre General Commercial site accommodating 350,000 square feet of commercial space, and a 28.2-acre Mixed Use area accommodating 505,000 square feet of mixed-use development including retail. • School sites: How does the process work for final location of the proposed school site? Please note that the Zacharias Land Use Plan has been updated to show the middle school site west of Baldwin Road next to (not in) the proposed park, and the Baldwin Ranch Land Use Plan has been updated to show an elementary school site. • Parks and open space: Are the small parks next to the lake fragmented and will they provide functional space? How will parks be provided in the Ivy-Rose area? Will there be walking paths and open space next to the lake?
• Streets: Will the proposed major streets accommodate traffic, and how does the South County Corridor fit in? Please note that street widths are shown on Figures 17-23 in the Master Plan.
• Trees: Will there be robust tree plantings as shown in the renderings? Please note that required residential tree plantings is articulated on Page 35 of the Master Plan.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Master Plan results in a significant expansion of City limits. The Master Plan implements the vision, goals, and policies of the Patterson General Plan by creating communities with complete neighborhoods, complete streets, and employment opportunities. The Master Plan provides land use regulations, development standards, and implementation measures to develop a master planned community. The Master Plan also provides guidelines and standards for infrastructure, amenities, and services needed to serve the development. The Master Plan ensures that the area develops in a comprehensive and coordinated manner using “smart growth” principles of mix of land uses, range of housing opportunities and choices, walkable neighborhoods, a sense of place, preservation of open space, and transportation choices.
The overall vision is to a create master-planned community that provides a quality environment for work, play, and living as a harmonious and logical extension of the Patterson community.
The Master Plan provides a place for people that work in Patterson to live near their jobs, with diverse housing types and places to recreate. The Master Plan will have regional benefits to the community by providing flood and stormwater facilities that extend beyond its boundaries.
The project will maintain sustainable groundwater levels.

I. Infrastructure. Integrate cost-efficient infrastructure systems.
J. Maintenance. Establish long-term maintenance requirements, in particular for the design of open spaces.
Chapter 2: Community Character and Design
Chapter 2 provides the overall Land Use Plan for each project area and then provides a complete set of development standards and design guidelines for all aspects of the Master Plan.
Land Use
A. Zacharias Project Area (See Figure 5 in the Master Plan)
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 154 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 6
The Zacharias project area proposes a 1,296.4-acre master-planned community with the following main components:
▪ Residential neighborhoods with a mix of densities ranging from 3 to 25 dwelling units per acre
▪ A mixed-use town center with a lake feature as a focal point ▪ A commercial center for local and community retail needs ▪ A business park area to provide for employment opportunities ▪ The Ivy/Rose “ranchette” area with potential for future residential development ▪ A “complete streets” network with bicycle and pedestrian trails connecting the community
▪ Public schools
▪ An interconnected network of parks and open space for both passive and active recreation
▪ A recharge basin and flood retention area
A total of up to 5,086 residential units, 855,000 square feet of retail uses, and 6,910,000 square feet of business park uses are proposed. See Figure 6 in the Master Plan for a detailed breakdown).
The eastern portion of the Zacharias Project Area includes the “ranchette” area known as the Ivy/Rose Avenue area. This 149-acre area consisted of parcels ranging in size from 2-20 acres with agricultural uses and small farms. The Land Use Plan projects this area will eventually be converted to Low Density residential.
B. Baldwin Ranch Project Area (See Figure 7 in the Master Plan) The Baldwin Ranch project area proposes a 66-acre residential community in the southern part of Patterson with 305 single family dwelling units and five acres of park. Lowmedium density residential uses are planned at densities averaging five dwelling units per acre. The Land Use Plan shows the area with a Medium Density Residential category in order to allow smaller lot sizes or alternative housing types (alley-loaded, cluster) than what typically occurs in low-density residential areas. The total unit count would not exceed 305 dwelling units.
Development Standards and Design Guidelines: Chapter 2 provides robust standards and guidelines addressing the following topics:
• Neighborhood housing diversity
• Variety of number of housing plans and styles
• Design of neighborhoods facing open space and adjacent to collector and arterial streets
• Permitted uses for low, medium, and high density residential areas • Development guidelines for specific housing types, such as alley-loaded, cluster, and townhomes
• Mixed use district permitted uses and development standards, including renderings of mixed-use areas
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 155 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 7
• Workforce, Affordable and Inclusionary Housing strategies • Permitted uses and development standards for commercial and business park districts • Specific guidelines for the Ivy and Rose Avenues ranchette area • Major and minor gateways/entryways including renderings of major and mixed-use gateways
• Other community elements including sustainability, walls and fences, lighting, and signage
More details on key aspects of these design guidelines are provided under Key Discussion Topics below.
Chapter 3: Circulation
The purpose of the Circulation Plan of the Master Plan is to establish the general layout and design standards for road, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities in the Plan Area and to implement a “Complete Streets” network with an integrated roadway and trail system including walking and bicycling pathways, which extend the City’s existing circulation routes throughout the Plan Area (See Figures 16 and 25). The concept of a Complete Street is about developing routes for all transportation modes.
Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive set of standards for development of the mobility system.
The Circulation Plan provides direct and convenient access to all residential, commercial/office area, and recreational land uses through a safe and efficient network that includes arterial, major and minor collectors, local streets, and bicycle and pedestrian routes. The Master Plan includes a Bicycle and Pedestrian Network, as well as addressing traffic calming measures, transit facilities, and transportation demand management.
Chapter 4: Community Facilities and Services
Chapter 4 addresses parks and open space, schools, and police and fire services.
Parks and Open Space. The Master Plan includes a comprehensive network of parks and open space to meet the recreational needs of the community and to connect the Master Plan to the remainder of the community (See Figure 27). The Zacharias Project Area provides a total of
59.7 acres of neighborhood parks ranging in size from 3.0 – 10 acres. The Plan provides a series of small parks and linear parkway to create an interesting focal point adjacent to the lake feature.
The Plan meets the required 5.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The neighborhood parks will be centrally located throughout the Plan area with a goal of locating them within ¼ mile of every resident.
The Baldwin Ranch Project Area provides a two-acre neighborhood park central to the neighborhood. In addition, a two-acre detention basin that may also be available for park purposes is provided at the southwest corner of Tank Road and Baldwin Road. The requirement for 5 acres per 1,000 population amounts to 4.7 acres. The remainder of the required acreage to meet 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents will be met by in lieu fees to be used toward community park facilities.
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 156 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 8
Schools. Two schools are planned for the Zacharias project area. First, a 14-acre Elementary School will be constructed east of Baldwin Road adjacent to a planned neighborhood park.
Second, a 14-16 acre middle school is planned west of Baldwin Road. The final location of both schools will be determined based on a set of school siting guidelines and based on feedback and requirements of the school district
A new 40-acre High School is planned for the northwest corner of Zacharias Road and Baldwin Road. Construction of the high school is likely 20 years in the future depending on buildout of the Zacharias Master Plan and the Villages of Patterson.
Based on further discussions with the Patterson School District, a new elementary school site is included in the Baldwin Ranch area. The Apricot Valley Elementary School is located approximately one mile to the north.
Police Services. Buildout of the Master Plan will generate the need for approximately 29 additional police personnel and may create a citywide need for an additional police station or expansion of the existing police station. The Master Plan will be required to annex to the Police and Fire Community Services District (CFD) in order to fund the appropriate share of future public safety personnel and facilities.
Fire Services. Buildout of the Master Plan will generate the need for approximately 21 additional firefighters and may create a citywide need for an additional fire station or expansion of one of the existing stations. The Master Plan will be required to annex to the Police and Fire Community Services District (CFD) in order to fund the appropriate share of future public safety personnel and facilities.
Chapter 5: Infrastructure and Public Facilities
Chapter 5 describes how necessary infrastructure improvements will be provided to comply with the Infrastructure Master Plans adopted by the City to ensure improvements meet future demand.
Transportation. Buildout of the Master Plans would contribute new trips to intersections, roadways, and freeways forecast to operate at unacceptable levels. The project is required to participate in fair share funding programs to address off-site traffic impacts. The Master Plan will contribute to off-site transportation improvements for a host of intersections throughout the City and in the unincorporated County as found in Table 6. In addition, the project will contribute toward the construction of the new I-5 interchange. (See more detailed discussion under Key Discussion Topics below).
Water. The City of Patterson derives all of its water supply from groundwater pumping of the Delta-Mendota Groundwater Subbasin. To meet anticipated water needs, at least two (2) new additional wells will need to be completed as part of the water system which will serve the Project Area. For non-potable supply, the Zacharias Project Area will connect to the existing non-potable mains on Rogers Road and Baldwin Road.
Implementation of the Master Plan would significantly increase the City’s demands and would contribute a substantial portion of the City’s anticipated deficiency at buildout. Consequently,
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 157 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 9
the project is contributing to long-term water supply needs by installing facilities to recharge both groundwater basins. The project will dedicate land and construct facilities (e.g. collection ponds, pumping stations, and transmission facilities) to allow for surface waters to be captured and routed to a basin that will allow for recharge of the lower aquifer. (See discussion on groundwater under Key Discussion Topics).
Stormwater. The storm drainage control facilities will be implemented within the Zacharias Project Area to address two goals: storm drain recharge, and flood control. The system is comprised of three main elements:
• Recharge Basin. A storm drain recharge basin facility will be built west of the annexation area on the north side of Zacharias Road, as shown in Figure 35. • 100-year FEMA Flood Protection. For flood mitigation, the proposed Regional Park to the West of the future High School site on the north side of Zacharias Road, as shown in Figure 36, will be designed to store the anticipated 183 acres of flood water runoff for a 100-year, 24-hour storm event.
• Detention and Retention Basins, and Lakes. The storm drainage system will run with multiple stages of storage and retention within the project site. This system is described in detail in Chapter 5.4.
The Baldwin Ranch project area will connect to the City’s storm drain detention system and will include a detention basin at the northeast corner.
Sewer. The Zacharias project area will be phased to coincide with planned expansions of the City’s Wastewater Quality Control Facility, and with the construction of the North Patterson Trunk Sewer. The Baldwin Ranch project area will be served by a sewer main in Baldwin Road connecting to the South Sperry Trunk Line.
Solid Waste. Solid waste will be hauled to Fink Road Landfill which has ample capacity. The project will implement a construction and demolition recycling program.
Chapter 6: Implementation
Chapter 6 provides a roadmap for funding and administration of the Master Plan as the area develops over a period of 20+ years. The Plan allows for minor adjustments at the staff level, and major adjustments to be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council.
Infrastructure will be funded by a variety of funding sources as outlined in the PFFP. The majority of the backbone infrastructure will be funded by a new infrastructure CFD. Funding will also be provided by impact fees, the Maintenance CFD, the Police and Fire CFD, and private investment.
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 158 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 10
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project’s consistency with the General Plan can be summarized by major themes.
Compliance with specific General Plan policies is summarized in Exhibit B to the Resolution approving the Master Plan and General Plan Amendment.
Complete Neighborhoods. The Master Plan will provide a mix of housing products and densities. In the Zacharias area, densities range from low to high densities. This Master Plan provides design guidelines that call for a diversity of housing types. The Zacharias area will have a mixed-use neighborhood center with a focus on the lake frontage. This center is central to the project and will serve as an active community gathering place within walking or biking distance to most of the community.
Baldwin Ranch provides for medium density housing at the southern edge of the City. Because of its smaller size, a range of densities is not feasible. Similar to Zacharias, the area will have a mix and variety of housing types and lot sizes.
Comprehensive Mobility Network and Complete Streets. The Master Plan will have a complete and interconnected mobility system with a hierarchy of arterial, major and minor collector, and local streets that provide for ease of travel by auto, bicycles, and pedestrians. The arterial and collector street sections will include Class I or Class II bicycle paths and sidewalks separated from the roadway to encourage alternative modes of travel. A system of Class I “paseos” will transverse the project, enhancing bicycle and pedestrian activity. The Circulation Plan includes traffic calming measures, including roundabouts, to enhance safety.
Connected Community Facilities. Parks and schools will be within a short walk or bicycle ride from every home. The Class I “paseos” connect to the parks and schools. \ Connectivity to the Community. The project area will connect to the surrounding neighborhoods, regional retail centers, and employment. The Zacharias area will include a community shopping center to provide a wide range of grocery, general merchandise, and apparel services to the community. The project area also includes +317.5 acres of business park uses which were previously designated for residential and are being changed to business park to enhance the City’s job-housing balance. It is connected to the existing community via Ward Avenue, Baldwin Road, Rogers Road, and a new north-south collector. The Patterson Irrigation District (“PID”) canal paseo will provide for bicycle and pedestrian access to the neighborhood to the south and the high school and will ultimately link to a regional trail system.
Baldwin Ranch is connected to the south end of the community via Baldwin Road. It is located in close proximity to commercial areas and employment.
Issues Specific to the Northern Expansion Area. Issues specific to the Northern Expansion Area are discussed throughout the Master Plan.
• High School Site.
• South County Corridor.
• Land Use Compatibility with Existing Industrial Businesses.
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 159 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 11
• Timing of I-5 Interchange.
• Flooding Impacts.
Implementation: Infrastructure, Financing and Phasing. Chapters 5 and 6 outline a comprehensive infrastructure, phasing and financing plan. Infrastructure will comply with the Infrastructure Master Plans developed by the City.
KEY DISCUSSION TOPICS
In addition to the Planning Commission items and City Council Study Session items discussed under the Background section, staff has summarized past discussion topics for further background for the Council’s deliberation. Staff is of the opinion that these topics have been resolved throughout the process.
Land Use and Design
Ivy and Rose Avenues Ranchette Area. The 144-acre Ivy-Rose ranchette Area is a unique area in the Zacharias Master Plan as it is comprised of small-scale farms and agricultural pursuits. The Master Plan (Chapter 2.7) addresses these unique elements by outlining the treatment of nonconforming uses and the maintenance of existing water wells and septic systems. Existing water wells may remain and connection to public water is not required until the property develops.
Septic systems may remain until five years after public sewer is provided within 200 feet of a property. Landowners may maintain access to the PID irrigation water until the property develops.
The planned infrastructure for the Master Plan will have sufficient capacity to serve the Ivy-Rose areas once the area develops. The Master Plan includes principles to apply to infrastructure timing and financing.
City staff and the stakeholder group have met with the Ivy–Rose landowners on several occasions to hear comments and answer questions.
The Planning Commission discussed this area and recommended changes to the Master Plan as outlined above under Planning Commission actions.
Housing Diversity and Range of Housing Types. A central theme of the Master Plan is to ensure a wide range of housing types for households of all income levels and needs. Figure 8 of the Master Plan identifies a “core” area where a greater mix of housing types is most desired. At least 30 percent of the medium density residential uses must be “non-standard” housing types, including small lots, alley-loaded, cluster, townhomes, and duplexes on corners. In non-core portions of the Plan, at 10 percent of the medium density uses must be non-standard. The Plan provides “prototypes” for these housing types with examples.
Neighborhood Design. The Master Plan places an emphasis on neighborhood design adjacent to open spaces and adjacent to collector streets (See Chapter 2.2 A. 4.). For open spaces, the goal is to enhance safety by providing “eyes on the space” and avoiding homes backing onto the open space. In most cases, a local street would parallel paseos with homes facing toward the paseo.
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 160 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 12
Open cul-de-sacs are also an option to provide design diversity. When homes do back on to the open space, such as the lake, open fencing is required.
For neighborhoods facing arterial and collector streets, the goal is to avoid a “canyon” effect while ensuring noise attenuation standards are met. Solutions include:
• Side-on homes with short block lengths.
• Parks and Open Space abutting the streets.
• Multi-family and mixed use abutting the streets.
• Open Cul-de-sacs
• Robust landscaping and soundwall design
• Enlarged setbacks
• Frontage street
PID Canal/Parkway. An open PID canal currently runs north- south through the Zacharias project area. The Plan calls for the canal to be undergrounded and become a significant 40-foot Class I paseo for recreational use connecting to community facilities to the south. The paseo would include open fencing with either wrought iron or open wood fencing on the east side adjacent to the Ivy-Rose area. The landscaped paseo would include bike and walking trails along with benches, trash receptacles, and lighting. The Planning Commission recommended further amendments to clarify items in this area.
Mixed Use Center. The Mixed Use District provides an exciting focal point for the community.
The “town center” design facing the lake creates opportunities for vibrant gathering places and a distinct sense of place with public plazas and open spaces, including walking paths along the waterfront. The mixed-use center contributes to the need for housing diversity, with upper floor dwellings and ground floor retail and the opportunity for live-work units. (See page 46 for renderings of the Mixed Use Plaza).
Gateways. Entryway features ensure the community has a clear identity and help accentuate key views into the community. Major gateways in the Master Plan include the Major Gateway at Baldwin Road and the east-west connector, the Mixed Use Gateway at Baldwin, and the entrance to the mixed use area. Zacharias project area. Major Gateways are characterized by iconic monuments, landscaping, pavement treatments, and signage. (See pages 55-57 for renderings of the major gateways).
Affordable and Inclusionary Housing. The Master Plan addresses affordability in several different ways.
First, the Master Plan provides for a diverse spectrum of housing opportunities in terms of product type and lifestyle choices. This spectrum addresses the concept of “affordable by design” where smaller homes on smaller lots, townhomes, and apartments provide choices that are typically less expensive to own or rent than standard-sized homes on larger lots.
7.2.a
Packet Pg. 161 Attachment: Staff Report Body (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Project) {CW115338.1} 13
Second, the Master Plan will be subject to the City’s Inclusionary Ordinance where developers must provide at least 15% of their proposed units at affordable housing cost. The Inclusionary Ordinance seeks to integrate deed-restricted affordable housing units into all new housing developments. Alternatives to on-site affordable housing include off-site affordable housing, land dedication to the City, or payment of in-lieu fees to the City.
Inclusionary and affordable housing needs are ever evolving, and the Project would be subject to the Inclusionary Ordinance in effect at the time of individual development application submittal.
Infrastructure
Groundwater. Several concerns have been raised about the continued reliance on groundwater for the water supply with an overall declining trend in groundwater storage in the upper and lower aquifer. The proposed project would (1) reduce pumping from the aquifer; (2) reduce recharge to the upper aquifer but at a rate lower than the reduction in pumping; (3) increase usage of potable water but in a sustainable manner; and (4) increase recharge to the lower aquifer in a manner that would help offset the increase in pumping. In sum, the proposed project would be expected to have a positive impact on groundwater recharge because of the net reduction of groundwater withdrawal and net increase in direct recharge to the lower aquifer.
Transportation. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was conducted for the project and is fully explained in the EIR. Project traffic impacts were analyzed based on the General Plan policy to maintain at least a Level of Service “D” on all streets and intersections in the City. The TIS also analyzed streets and intersections outside of the City that would be impacted by the project.
Buildout of the Master Plans would contribute new trips to intersections, roadways, and freeways forecast to operate at unacceptable levels. Twenty-one feasible mitigation measures are proposed to reduce project impacts, either as a fair share contribution or a project responsibility. For certain facilities such as portions of Sperry Avenue, the improvements required by the mitigation measures would not restore operations to acceptable levels based on projected 2040 traffic. In addition, mitigation measures are proposed for facilities that are outside the jurisdiction of the City of Patterson and, therefore, uncertainty exists regarding their implementation. The EIR concluded this impact is significant and unavoidable. The proposed mitigation measures are robust and provide significant improvements to the transportation system that address traffic impacts to the extent feasible.
The Stanislaus Council of Governments is studying the development of a South County Corridor between Interstate 5 near Patterson and SR-99 in Turlock. A Feasibility Study was released in 2016 that considered alignment options and recommended that three of the alternatives be carried forward for further review, including alignment along Zacharias Road. The Master Plan’s circulation plan accommodates two alignments of the future South County Corridor and limits the number of connections along Zacharias Road. If the South County Corridor is not developed along Zacharias Road, this roadway would still be improved to arterial standards.
As part of the overall South County Corridor, a new I-5 interchange is being planned at I5/Zacharias Road. When built, it will provide much relief from traffic congestion along Sperry

Avenue and other major roadways in the City and will lessen this project’s impact on City Streets. This project will provide a fair share contribution to the interchange.
State Law was modified in 2017 to require traffic evaluations based on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), instead of traditional LOS evaluations. Because no thresholds have been adopted by a State or regional agency at the time of Draft EIR release, the City of has elected to conduct a qualitative analysis. Both Master Plans contemplate residential communities within proximity to employment, retail, services, schools, and parks. In addition, the Master Plans contemplate a multi-modal transportation network consisting of roadways, on-street and off-street bicycle facilities, and pedestrian facilities. Collectively, these attributes create opportunities for shorter vehicle trips and non-motorized trips. Buildout of the Master Plans would also promote improving jobs-housing balance in Patterson. New employment opportunities would be located within 2 miles of most of the proposed Master Plan residential uses, close enough to enable workers who live in Patterson to consider alternate modes of transportation, especially bicycling.
The Master Plan also requires Transportation Demand Management measures, in particular for the business park portion of the project.
Stanislaus LAFCO Annexation Policies
Both project areas involve the annexation of new territory to the City of Patterson. Per State Law, Stanislaus LAFCO must approve the annexation after the City Council takes action.
Stanislaus LAFCO policies for annexation focus on agricultural land mitigation, and assurances that the Project is viable and demonstrates orderly growth. • Ag Mitigation. The Zacharias project area converts 1,184.9 acres of Important Farmland to urban development, and the Baldwin Ranch project area converts 61.48 acres. Consistent with LAFCO policy, Mitigation Measure AG-1 provides two options for mitigating the loss of farmland: (1) the direct preservation through an irrevocable instrument at no less than a 1:1 ratio or (2) payment of fees into an adopted fee program that would preserve farmland at no less than a 1:1 ratio. Under either approach, farmland would be preserved at no less than a 1:1 ratio. The City is of the opinion that this approach establishes a clear performance standard but also allows flexibility for implementation. • Orderly Growth. LAFCO questioned why the entire area needs to be added to the SOI and city limits if development is not imminent. The City maintains that the entire Baldwin and Zacharias Master Plan areas are needed to be annexed in order to ensure that urban services and infrastructure can be provided. The Master Plans propose roadways, water, sewer, storm drainage, schools, parks, and an off-site flood control basin. Phase 1 would consist of the areas immediately adjacent to the Patterson city limits and Phase 2 would consist of the outlying areas. However, as a practical matter, infrastructure needed to serve both phases would be located throughout the Master Plan boundaries. Thus, annexing the entire area would be consistent with sound planning principles because it would allow for the timely and efficient development of infrastructure improvements.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
A Draft Environmental Impact Report (“Draft EIR”) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Baldwin Master Plan / Zacharias Master Plan Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2018122052). The Draft EIR was released for public review on December 3, 2020 with a 45-day review period, which was extended to February 4, 2021. A total of nine comments were received. The Final EIR responds to the comments and modifies language in the Draft EIR to respond to the comments. The Final EIR was released on July 27, 2021. The City Council must certify the Final EIR after a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
The purpose of the EIR is to inform decision makers, representatives of affected and responsible agencies, the public, and other interested parties of the potential environmental effects that may result from implementation of the proposed project. The EIR describes potential impacts relating to a wide variety of environmental issues and methods to mitigate or avoid such impacts.
The EIR concludes that several significant project impacts are “Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts” meaning the impact cannot be reduced to less than significant with mitigation. These significant unavoidable impacts are outlined on page ES-2 of the Draft EIR and include Important Farmland, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Traffic. The Draft EIR explains the reasons these impacts cannot be fully mitigated with proposed mitigation.
In order for a project to be approved with unavoidable impacts, the City must make findings and statements that there are overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits that outweigh the unavoidable adverse impacts. The Statement of Overriding Considerations is provided in Exhibit C to the CEQA Resolution, and contains the following considerations which outweigh the remaining significant environmental impacts: (i) Attract new businesses and capital investment, (ii) create new employment and housing opportunities, (iii) develop new residential uses in proximity to regional job centers, (iv) facilitate buildout of the City’s General Plan, (v) produce new housing consistent with the City’s Housing Element and its Regional Housing Needs Allocation, (vi) maintain and enhance quality of life with new schools, parks, open spaces, and pedestrian and bike trails; and (vii) provide groundwater recharge facilities to protect groundwater resources consistent with state and local groundwater recharge policies.
The EIR also outlines potentially significant impacts that can be reduced to less than significant with mitigation. Impacts in this category include:
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
• Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Noise
• Public Services and Recreation

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan (hereinafter the Master Plan) is to establish a policy and regulatory document to guide development of the project area. The Master Plan implements the vision, goals, and policies of the Patterson General Plan by creating communities with complete neighborhoods, complete streets, and employment opportunities. The Master Plan provides land use regulations, development standards and implementation measures to develop a master planned community. The Master Plan also provides guidelines and standards for infrastructure, amenities and services needed to serve the development. The Master Plan ensures that the area develops in a comprehensive and coordinated manner using “smart growth” principles of mix of land uses, range of housing opportunities and choices, walkable neighborhoods, a sense of place, preservation of open space, and transportation choices.
The project objectives are to:
1. Promote positive contribution to the local and regional economy through new capital investment, creation of new employment and housing opportunities, and expansion of the tax base.
2. Develop a mix of new residential uses in proximity to a regional job center.
3. Continue to attract new businesses to the City of Patterson by providing adequate, available land and infrastructure.
4. Facilitate buildout of the City of Patterson General Plan.
5. Maintain a high quality of life in the City of Patterson through the provision of schools, parks, open spaces, and trails in residential areas.
6. Facilitate the development of the South County Corridor by reserving land for the future alignment of this transportation corridor and limiting new connections from the Master Plan area.
7. Promote land use compatibility with the Ranchette area by appropriately siting roadway connections and affording property owners the option of maintaining their existing land use activities or developing low density residential uses.
8. Ensure that the Patterson city limits are expanded in an orderly and logical manner.
9. Avoid the premature conversion of viable agricultural land by affording property owners the ability to continue to farm their land until conditions are right for development.
10. Provide groundwater recharge facilities to protect groundwater resources consistent with City and State groundwater recharge policies.
The entitlements necessary to approva and implement the Master Plan are:
• Certification of the EIR
• Annexation
• Master Services Review
• General Plan Amendments
• Pre-Zone Master Plan Area
• Master Plan
• Public Facilities Financing Plan
• Development Agreement

1.2 Overall Vision and Guiding Principles
The vision for the Master Plan is to create master-planned communities that provide a quality environment for work, play, and living as a harmonious and logical extension of the Patterson community. The Master Plan provides a place for people that work in Patterson to live near their jobs, with diverse housing types and places to recreate. By minimizing commute times, the Master Plan will free up residents to spend more time relaxing, shopping, and spending time with their families and friends. The Master Plan will have regional benefits to the community by providing flood and stormwater facilities that extend beyond its boundaries. The project will maintain sustainable groundwater levels. To further this vision, the follow Guiding Principles will apply:
A. Complete Streets. Create a well-connected network that supports multimodal transportation within and outside of the Plan Area. Provide a system of bicycle/pedestrian only pathways largely separated from streets to enhance walkability and reduce vehicle miles traveled. Create human-scaled, experiential streets and paths that meet multiple needs and serve multiple modes.
B. Open space. Provide an accessible, high-quality network of multipurpose open spaces that are connected with a system of bicycle/pedestrian pathways with a goal of every house be located within 0.25 mile of open space.
C. Land use. Promote land uses that support economic development and City growth. Help facilitate new business park development and expand on the City’s existing supply of business park uses. In addition, help facilitate new residential development that allows the City to continue to grow and house employees working in Patterson and surrounding areas, as well as families wishing to live in Patterson.
D. Flexibility. Provide flexibility in land uses and housing densities when suitable. The Preliminary Land Plan shows only primary roads. This provides landowners in the residential portion of the project flexibility in designing streets, blocks, and parcels so long as consistency with the intent of the Preliminary Land Plan remains. Additionally, the land plan provides flexibility in the following areas:
1. Residential. For the portion of residential designated as Medium Density, there is flexibility to provide different densities and housing types throughout the project, site, as long as housing unit numbers do not exceed the amount shown in Table 1 for Medium Density Residential.
2. Mixed use. For the Mixed-Use designation, there is flexibility to provide commercial and/or high-density residential uses, as long as active ground-floor uses are provided in key mixed use core areas.
E. Housing types. Provide a diversity of housing types for different lifestyles, household sizes, ages, and income levels. The diversity of housing types include, but are not limited to, single family residences, townhomes, alley-loaded products, green court and motor court development, and apartments.
F. Neighborhood hub. Establish a neighborhood hub with a mix of active uses including commercial, high density residential, schools, parks, and trails.
G. Place. Create a distinct sense of place that builds on Patterson’s built and natural heritage. This includes selection of tree species, iconic roundabouts at key intersections, and use of agricultural irrigation canals as community assets.

7.2.b
Packet Pg. 174 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan H. Transition area. Create context-sensitive transition areas that preserve existing and proposed uses. This includes the following transition areas:
1. Proposed residential to proposed and existing industrial areas.
Methods for providing appropriate transitions include the use of drainage basins, trails, berms, and/or fencing.
2. Proposed residential to existing single-family residences to the south. The proposed land use east of Baldwin Road, on the southern edge of the project is proposed to accommodate single-family residences similar to the existing single-family residences south of the project site.
3. Proposed residential to existing ranchettes to the east. The existing 40-foot-wide canal easement with the proposed parkway, along with open land uses adjacent to the parkway, provides an appropriate interface to the ranchette area as the area transitions to residential uses.
4. Proposed development to existing agricultural uses to the north.
5. Proposed residential and commercial development to the potential future South County Corridor to the north
6. Options for transition areas include:
• Buffer. Examples of buffers include open space (e.g. drainage areas, trails, parks)
• Land use
• Major streets
I. Infrastructure. Integrate cost-efficient infrastructure systems. Design open space, trails, and buffers consistent with natural drainage areas to capture and direct drainage in a more cost-efficient and sustainable manner. Infrastructure will comply with the Infrastructure Master Plans developed by the City.
J. Maintenance. Establish long-term maintenance requirements, in particular for the design of open spaces.
1.3 Project Setting
The Master Plan project areas are comprised of two areas. The Zacharias project area is 1,296.4 acres located on the north end of the City of Patterson bounded by Rogers Road (west), Zacharias Road (north), the California Northern Railroad tracks and Ward Avenue (east), and existing residential and business park uses (south) and including the recharge basin and flood retention area to the north of Zacharias Road. The Baldwin Ranch project area is 66 acres located at the south end of Baldwin Road and is contiguous to the Delta-Mendota Canal (west), the City of Patterson Corporation Yard (north), and agricultural uses (east and south).

1.4 Natural Environment
Both the Zacharias and Baldwin Master Plan areas are characterized by existing agricultural land including orchards and row crops. West Stanislaus Irrigation District irrigation canal Lateral Six South, meanders from southto-north through the western portion of the Zacharias area. A Patterson Irrigation District (PID) canal runs north-south through the eastern portion.
The eastern portion of the Zacharias area is known as the “Ivy-Rose Area ranchette triangle.” Located east of the PID canal, this 143.7-acre area consists of 31 parcels ranging in size from 1 acre – 19 acres. Many of the parcels are residential only and some support agricultural uses.
1.5 Relationship to Patterson General Plan
The Patterson General Plan Land Use Element designates areas surrounding the City for additional urban development, as shown on General Plan Figure LU-1. The General Plan designations for the Plan Area implement General Plan Policy LU-1.2 which describes the Low Density Residential Designation as a “holding” category.
The General Plan provides two sets of overarching policies to guide the development of the Master Plan, using smart growth principles. First, the General Plan provides a list of issues to be addressed in the development of the Northern and Southern Expansion Areas. Second, Land Use Element Policies LU-1.1 and 1.3 outline qualities desired in residential expansion areas.
Throughout this Master Plan, details of how the project complies with the General Plan will be shown. Following is a brief summary:
Complete Neighborhoods. The Master Plan will provide a mix of housing products and densities. In the Zacharias area, densities range from low to high densities. This Master Plan provides design guidelines that call for a diversity of housing types. The Zacharias area will have a mixed-use neighborhood center with a focus on the lake frontage. This center is central to the project and will serve as an active community gathering place within walking or biking distance to most of the community.
Baldwin Ranch provides for medium density housing at the southern edge of the City. Because of its smaller size, a range of densities is not feasible.
Similar to Zacharias, the area will have a mix and variety of housing types and lot sizes.
Comprehensive Mobility Network and Complete Streets. The Master Plan will have a complete and interconnected mobility system with a hierarchy of arterial, major and minor collector, and local streets that provide for ease of travel by auto, bicycles and pedestrians. The arterial and collector street sections will include Class I or Class II bicycle paths and sidewalks separated from the roadway to encourage alternative modes of travel. A system of Class I “paseos” will transverse the project, enhancing bicycle and pedestrian activity.
The Circulation Plan includes traffic calming measures, including roundabouts, to enhance safety.
Connected Community Facilities. Parks and schools will be within a short walk or bicycle ride from every home. The Class I “paseos” connect to the parks and schools.
Connectivity to the Community. The project area will connect to the surrounding neighborhoods, regional retail centers and employment. The Zacharias area will include a community shopping center to provide a wide range of grocery, general merchandise and apparel services to the community.
The project area also includes +317.5 acres of business park uses which were previously designated for residential and are being changed to business park to enhance the City’s job-housing balance. It is connected to the existing community via Ward Avenue, Baldwin Road, Rogers Road and a new north-south collector. The PID canal paseo will provide for bicycle and pedestrian access to the neighborhood to the south and the high school and will ultimately link to a regional trail system.
Baldwin Ranch is connected to the south end of the community via Baldwin Road. It is located in close proximity to commercial area and employment.
Issues Specific to the Northern Expansion Area. Issues specific to the Northern Expansion Area will be discussed throughout this Master Plan. • High School Site.
• South County Corridor.
• Land Use Compatibility with Existing Industrial Businesses. • Timing of I-5 Interchange.
• Flooding Impacts.
Implementation: Infrastructure, Financing and Phasing. Chapters 5 and 6 outline a comprehensive infrastructure, phasing and financing plan.
Infrastructure will comply with the Infrastructure Master Plans developed by the City.

The Baldwin Ranch project area proposes a 66-acre residential community in the southern part of Patterson with 305 single family dwelling units and five acres of park. Low-medium density residential uses are planned at densities averaging five dwelling units per acre. The Land Use Plan shows the area with a Medium Density Residential category in order to allow smaller lot sizes or alternative housing types (alley-loaded, cluster) than what typically occurs in low-density residential areas. The total unit count would not exceed 305 dwelling units.

7.2.b
Packet Pg. 184 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan C. Relationship to Zoning Ordinance and Community Design Guidelines The Master Plan will partially rely on the basic standards contained within the Patterson Zoning Code and Community Design Guidelines. These standards are supplemented by development standards and design guidelines contained within this document. If there is a conflict, the standards and guidelines in this document prevail. Specific development projects will require design review pursuant to City established procedures.
2.2 Residential Land Uses
A. Overall Design Objectives
1. Neighborhood Diversity: The Master Plan provides diverse housing types to accommodate different lifestyles, household sizes, ages, and income levels, particularly in the Medium Density areas. This diversity is most important in the Core Area where there is closer proximity to retail, services, and recreation activity. In the Core Area, at least 30 percent of the housing units shall be comprised of housing types that are different than standard single family detached, such as alleyloaded, green court or auto cluster, or planned duplex or accessory dwelling units, as described in Section 2.2.B.2. In the non-Core Medium Density areas, at least 10 percent of the housing units shall be non-standard. This objective should be monitored over the life of the project.

7.2.b
Packet Pg. 186 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Overall Design Objective for Residential Land Uses Cont.
2. Plans and Styles: In order to achieve a varied and interesting streetscape, each low-density and medium density subdivision should include a minimum of three (3) housing plans and three (3) architectural styles. As part of design review of individual subdivisions, greater diversity of architectural styles is encouraged in larger subdivisions (over 50 homes).
3. Overall Design Guidelines for Residential Neighborhoods:
a. Pedestrian scale. Create a sense of community with
residential building designs oriented to the pedestrian by incorporating porches, entries, stoops, and windows
that face the street and sidewalk. Outdoor seating areas oriented toward the street are encouraged.
b. Garages. Discourage garages as a primary feature.
Generally, garages should not protrude beyond the
leading edge of the home. Alternative garage loading
configurations are encouraged (i.e., rear lot garages,
side loading garages, detached garages, alley loaded
garages).
c. Streetscape. Separate sidewalks from curb with planting strips on designated streets. Where there is a separated sidewalk, street trees shall be planted between streets and sidewalks at 30 feet on center. When there is not a separated sidewalk, each lot shall include a minimum
of one street trees. Corner lots that are 70 feet or less in depth shall have one tree and lots greater than 70 feet in depth shall have two trees. Tree plantings shall consider joint trench placement requirements.
d. Landscaping and fencing. Create attractive front yards with landscaping and plants. Fencing should be in the
same style, color palette, and materials as the primary structure where possible.
e. Four-sided articulation. Articulation of end unit
elevations is encouraged to achieve four-sided
articulation. Exterior wall materials, trim and architectural details are to be applied equally to all sides of the home visible to public view.
f. Architectural variation and massing. The size, scale, proportion, color, placement and detailing of architectural features such as porches, balconies, chimneys, doors/
windows, dormers, and fencing should be carefully
considered to compliment the overall massing and scale
of the home. Building heights and setbacks should be
varied to break visual monotony.
g. Utilities. Utility and mechanical equipment should be screened from view. Roof mounted air conditioners,
coolers, or antennas are prohibited.
4. Residential Neighborhoods:
a. Residential Neighborhoods Facing Open Space.
Neighborhoods facing open spaces, including parks and
greenways, shall orient structures towards common open
spaces in order to provide “eyes on the space”. Homes
backing on to open spaces should be avoided wherever
possible. In some cases, a street may separate the
structures from the open space, in which case the streetfacing structures are encouraged to be an alley-loaded or green court cluster in order to avoid having garages front the street. In some cases, homes may back onto an open
space if the overall result is achieved. Homes backing
onto open space shall have open wrought iron fencing or other attractive open fencing.

Residential Neighborhoods Facing the Lake: Residential neighborhoods around the lake feature shall have a variety of treatments. In the central part of the lake feature, a park/ greenway feature will border the lake providing public access.
At the east end of the lake, a bike/ped trail system will border the lake as shown on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. In other locations, homes may back onto the lake. Where homes back onto the lake, open views shall be maintained by the use of wrought iron or other attractive open fencing.

Packet Pg. 189 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan Other design options may be considered to allow for flexibility and variety.
While the parallel street is the preferred design, such options may be considered if the parallel street is not practical. Situations where a parallel street is not practical include limited frontage on the paseo and constrained property configurations, and when it’s necessary to break up a “racetrack” effect.
Following is an example with cul-de-sacs abutting the paseo. When cul-desacs are used, maximize the amount of cul-de-sac frontage on the paseo and side-on lots shall have an abutting masonry wall.

To avoid a “canyon” effect, neighborhoods adjacent to arterial and collector streets shall comply with the following design solutions while ensuring noise attenuation standards are met. These solutions apply primarily to the Residential Collector street classification but may also apply to Arterials and Major Collector such as Zacharias Road and Baldwin Road.
As part of the subdivision review process, the Planning Commission may approve other design solutions.

effect can be mitigated by robust landscaping and attractive soundwalls. See Section 2.7.D for wall and landscaping
design. All soundwalls shall be of masonry construction. vi. Enlarged Setbacks. Enlarged setbacks for homes
facing a collector can provide an open feel while still maintaining safety and noise protection for the homes. For this option, there would be no driveways directly on to the collector. This option could include courtyards or open fencing in the front yards. Homes shall have a minimum of a 30-foot setback if this option is selected.

5. Edge Conditions Adjacent to Business Park Land Uses
.
Zacharias Project Area. Homes in the vicinity of the business park uses on the west side of the Zacharias Master Plan will be buffered on the west by a drainage open space area. This drainage open space area is part of the business park properties to the west with the purpose of providing sufficient area to meet the stormwater runoff needs of the business park area. It will be private property and is not intended to be part of the public open space system. The width of this area will be determined by stormwater detention requirements and the green designation on the Master Plan is shown for illustrative purposes. The stormwater detention area will be maintained by the business park, with attractive landscaping and open fencing along the street frontage. The street frontage will consist of a seven-foot landscaped area separating a five-foot sidewalk from the street, and a five-foot landscaped area behind the sidewalk. The open fencing shall consist of either wood rails or wrought-iron fencing.
Final details of the landscaping and fencing will be determined when development plans are submitted for the business park.
A 68-foot-wide north-south Residential Collector will also serve as a buffer to the homes on the east side. Homes will back on to the north-south Residential Collector with a soundwall providing further sound attenuation. Homes on the south adjacent to existing business park uses will be buffered by a masonry wall. Alternative options may be considered if they provide adequate sound attenuation.
Baldwin Ranch Project Area. • To the north across Tank Road, the Baldwin North project may be developed with residential or business park uses. If business park land uses are planned on the north side of Tank Road, provide a buffer from the business park uses by backing homes onto Tank Road with a soundwall and a minimum 15-foot landscaped planter.
• The City Corporation Yard is located on the south side of Tank Road and is surrounded on two sides by residential uses. A robust buffer is needed to protect residential uses from any nuisances resulting from corporation yard operations, and to preserve the long-term viability of the corporation yard as a significant public investment. This buffer shall consist of the following elements: » Construction of a masonry wall around the west and south sides of the corporation yard. » A 10-15-foot landscaped buffer area adjacent to the wall, with a berm of sufficient height to provide screening, and heavy landscaping consisting of a double row of evergreen trees. This landscaped area would be maintained by the City and the project would need to join the established Landscape CFD.
» A street paralleling the landscaped buffer on the south and west sides. » A park/detention basin on the east side of the corporation yard. 26 • ZACHARIAS & BALDWIN RANCH MASTER PLAN • City of Patterson

The Low Density Residential (LDR) districts comprise 216 acres and up to 809 dwelling units, or 16 percent of the total dwelling units. The LDR area includes the Ivy/Rose “ranchette” which is 143.7 acres and may potentially include +431 homes.
The LDR areas will be comprised of “traditional” single-family homes and will accommodate both production and custom housing. Densities will range from 3-5 dwelling units per acre. LDR densities in the southwest portion of the Master Plan will typically be around five dwelling units per acre with typical lot sizes of 50 x 100. LDR densities in the Ivy/Rose area are assumed at three dwelling units per acre with larger lot sizes.
1. Permitted Uses and Development Standards. The permitted uses and development standards of Low Density Residential (LR) Zoning District of the Patterson Zoning Ordinance will apply to this area.
C. Medium Density Residential
The Medium Density Residential (MDR) districts comprise 536.9 acres and +3,454 dwelling units, or 68 percent of the total dwelling units. The MDR area will have a variety of housing types, ranging in density from 5-12 dwelling units per acre. Development in the MDR area will primarily be production housing. Housing types include attached and detached housing, and mayinclude traditional subdivisions as well as alternative layouts such as green court, auto courts, townhomes, alley-loaded, and planned duplexes and accessory dwelling units.

2.3 Inclusionary and Affordable Housing
A. Introduction
The City of Patterson seeks to keep pace with new development to meet local housing needs. The City desires to attract new development that provides housing solutions for residents across the entire income spectrum. The Master Plan addresses affordability in several different ways. The City’s Housing Element is the driving force for addressing housing affordability. The current Housing Element was adopted in 2015.
B. Affordable by Design
The Plan provides for a diverse spectrum of housing
opportunities in terms of product type and lifestyle choices.
This spectrum addresses the concept of “affordable by
design” where smaller homes on smaller lots, townhomes, and apartments provide choices that are typically less expensive to own or rent than standard-sized homes on larger lots.
Section 2.2.C.2 of this Master Plan provides descriptions of the spectrum of housing types, and Section 2.2A.1. requires that certain percentages of alternative housing types be constructed depending on the location within the Master Plan. These housing types provide choices in particular for persons and households within the moderate-income range, which is 80 – 120 percent of AMI (Area Median Income) and is often considered workforce housing. The 2121 AMI in Patterson is $70,700. Work force housing addresses households in the moderate-income range are often employed as schoolteachers, police officers, retail clerks, manufacturing and warehouse workers, office workers and similar occupations, and may not qualify for housing subsidies.
C. Tax Credit Financed Affordable Housing
Financing affordable units come is many forms and is very complex. Tax credit financing is a common source of funding for affordable apartment communities built by affordable housing developers. Such apartment communities are highly encouraged as a part of the mix in the Master Plan in addition to affordable units provided as an implementation of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Tax credit financing is very competitive, and it is not known whether this funding mechanism will be available within the Zacharias Master Plan, but nothing in the Plan precludes the use of tax credit financing. Such units must be built in a highquality manner with amenities and services at least equivalent to market-rate housing. Financing mechanisms account for longterm maintenance to ensure the units remain an asset to the community.
State Housing Bonds and Federal Grants are also available to fill financing gaps
D. Affordable Housing Through Inclusionary Housing
To address the needs of Extremely Low, Very Low-, Low-, and Moderate-Income households, the Housing Element and
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance provide a menu of strategies and requirements to assist in ensuring deserving households have opportunities for housing they can afford. The overall goal is to ensure households are not paying more that 30 percent of their income on housing. The categories for affordability include. • Extremely Low: Less than 30 percent of AMI
• Very Low: 30-50 percent of AMI
• Low: 50-80 percent of AMI
• Moderate: 80-120 percent of AMI
The concept of Inclusionary Housing seeks to integrate
deed-restricted affordable housing units into all new housing developments including the Zacharias Master Plan. Inclusionary housing requirements focus on on-site affordable including:
• Construction of for-sale homes that are available to and deed-restricted for low- and moderate-income households. • Construction of market-rate apartment complexes with a percentage of units available to and deed-restricted for low and very low-income households.
40 • ZACHARIAS & BALDWIN RANCH MASTER PLAN • City of Patterson
7.2.b
Packet Pg. 212 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan All inclusionary units shall be comparable with the market-rate units in terms of the size, base design, appearance, materials, and finished quality, and shall be proportional in number, size, and location. Affordable units shall be comparable in number of bedrooms, exterior appearance, and overall quality of construction to first-class quality affordable housing found elsewhere in the city.
The integration of affordable units into the community as part of the implementation of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance can be accomplished in a variety of other ways, including but not limited to:
• Dedication of land by the housing developer equivalent to the inclusionary housing obligation. Land dedications would then be used by an affordable housing developer
under the direction of the City.
• Subsidies toward construction of apartment communities within a new neighborhood that are 100 percent available to and deed-restricted for low and very low-income households. • Payment of in lieu fees to provide funds for construction of affordable deed-restricted units elsewhere in the
community.
Another mechanism to help achieve affordability is use of the density bonus and incentives/concessions provisions of State Law and City Ordinance. Developers are entitled to a density bonus and concessions to development standards for provision of deed-restricted affordable housing. The developer may request that the city provide incentives such as fee waivers or deferrals, modification of development standards, and streamlining and priority processing.
The Zacharias Master Plan is subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance adopted in 2006 and found in Chapter 18.86 of the Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance requires development to provide housing for persons of moderate, low, and very low income to implement the Housing Element of the General Plan.
At least fifteen percent of all dwelling units in the Master Plan Area shall be developed, offered to, and sold or rented to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, at an affordable housing cost.
Of the affordable for-sale units, 60 percent shall be affordable to moderate-income households. These moderate-income units help address workforce housing where households qualify for the deed-restricted units. The remaining forty percent of the required affordable units shall be available at affordable sales prices to low-income households.
Of the affordable rental units, 40 percent shall be affordable rents to very low-income households. The remaining sixty percent of the required affordable units shall be available at affordable rents to low-income households.
In lieu of including the affordable housing units on-site, a developer may request alternative equivalent action (e.g. construction of affordable units on another site, dedication of land, the acquisition or rehabilitation of existing substandard dwelling units and the enforcement of required rental/sales price restrictions, and/or an in-lieu fee). The developer may request that the city provide inclusionary incentives such as fee waivers or deferrals, modification of development standards, and streamlining and priority processing. Each developer is required to submit a strategy to demonstrate compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
The project will be subject to the Inclusionary Ordinance in effect at the time of individual subdivision map approval. If the requirements contained within this Master Plan are modified based on an update to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the new requirements shall apply.
Tables 3 and 4 provide the required number of deed-restricted affordable units for the Master Plan.

2.4 Mixed Use
The Mixed Use (MU) Districts comprise 27.5 acres with 285 dwelling units and 505,000 square feet of retail and services. The dwelling units in the mixed-use area represent 5.6 percent of the total dwelling units in the Zacharias Master Plan.
The MU districts provide an exciting focal point for the community.
Businesses with upper floor dwellings would line a neighborhood street and create a “town center”. The lake would also be a focal point of the MU districts and creates opportunities for vibrant gathering places and a distinct sense of place. The MU district is intended to serve daily needs of residents living in surrounding neighborhoods.
The Mixed Use (MU) districts also provide an opportunity for live/ work options. A dedicated workspace would be included on the ground floor of multi-family units. Work activities would include “low impact” employment such as professional offices and studios for architects, photographers, and real estate agents.
A. Design Objectives
• Public plazas and open spaces. The lake shall be a focal area with public plazas and private open spaces to create a distinctive gathering place for the community. Outdoor seating and places to recreate shall be provided along the lake frontage.
• Architectural massing. Use of massing, fenestration,
articulation, materials, and landscape buffers can provide a human scale environment in a walkable corridor. Recessed facades can be used to break up large masses. Creative
use of form, height and massing, supportive by distinctive windows, entryways and facade treatments shall be used to create a symbolic landmark of the community character.
• Streetscape and pedestrian amenities. The design
of commercial buildings shall promote and enhance a
pedestrian-oriented atmosphere and should be adaptable
to accommodate a variety of changing uses. Outdoor

Standards for such use should take into account pedestrian traffic. Street trees can be used as point of visual interest in addition to providing shade and cover. Awnings and overhang can provide shade and cover for patrons during changes in weather.
• Ground Floor Retail. To activate the street, ground floor of mixed-use building should focus on shops and restaurants in the core portion of the mixed-use area facing the lake feature. In mixed use areas outside of the core area, standalone residential uses may occur as long as the design includes an attractive streetscape and pedestrian amenities. As a whole, a minimum of 25 percent of the ground floor should be shops and restaurants.
• Residential and commercial interface. Residential entries should be separated from commercial space entries. Clearly defined pedestrian walkways shall be provided leading from adjacent highdensity land use areas and open space corridor, and shall be an integral component of the overall site design.
• Parking. Off-street parking shall be internalized (behind buildings) to the extent practical, compartmentalized, and be shielded from residential and open space corridors. If parking behind the building is not practical, parking on the side of the building may be considered. • Utilities. To minimize their visual impact but are necessary for daily operations of commercial or retail space, group and screen mechanical equipment using architecturally compatible elements.

B. Design Guidelines. All new construction in this zoning district shall conform to Chapter 3 of the Patterson Community Design Guidelines.
C. Solar. All business park buildings shall provide green energy features consistent with the California Green Code (Title 24). Use of solar panels is highly encouraged.
2.7 Ivy and Rose Avenues Ranchette Area
A. Overview
The 144-acre Ivy-Rose ranchette Area is a unique area in the Zacharias Master Plan. It is comprised on 31 properties ranging in size from .2 to 19 acres, with most parcels in the 2 – 10-acre range. Existing land uses consist primarily of ranchettes with small scale hobby farm or agricultural pursuits. This area is bounded on the west by the PID canal, on the north by Highway 33, on the east by Ward Avenue, and on the south by existing City limits.
The area is designated Low Density Residential in the Master Plan, although it is anticipated that development of residential uses may occur at later stages of the Zacharias Master Plan. LDR densities in this area will typically be three dwelling units per acre.
B. Non-Conforming Uses
Upon annexation, agricultural uses will become non-conforming.
The following principles will apply:
1. Crop production and horticulture is considered a permitted use and can continue indefinitely until the property is developed.
2. Keeping of horses, cattle, and other livestock may continue unless the use ceases for a six (6) month period, per Zoning Code Chapter 18.94.
3. Up to six (6) chickens are a permitted use in the LDR designation.
Existing Williamson Act contracts would terminate upon annexation.
C. Circulation
The existing Ivy Avenue and Rose Avenue will remain local streets and will terminate at the west end with a dead-end street adjacent to the PID Canal. When this area develops, appropriate connections to the PID Canal Paseo will be determined. A new arterial street will extend through this area from Highway 33 westerly as part of the Master Plan east-west connector. The terminus of this arterial at Highway 33 will replace the intersection of Ward Avenue and Highway 33, which will have a cul-de-sac terminus.
D. Utilities
This area has existing wells and septic system and many landowners in the ranchette area may want to maintain their rural lifestyle for some time. The following policies apply to maintenance of existing facilities and requirements for connections:
1. Water: Existing private wells may remain but may not be expanded, per City Code Section 13.20.020, or as amended.
Connection to new public water mains is not mandatory until the property is developed, or unless existing wells fail. Upon annexation, a landowner may connect to City water at any time.
Property owners will be responsible for connection and impact fees in effect at the time of connection.
2. Sewer and septic systems: Five (5) years after public sewer is provided to within 200 feet of a property, connection to the 50 • ZACHARIAS & BALDWIN RANCH MASTER PLAN • City of Patterson
7.2.b
Packet Pg. 222 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan public sewer may be required within 90 days of the receipt of an official notice to connect from by the City. A public sewer line will be constructed in Rose Avenue in the early stages of the Zacharias Master Plan. Construction of this sewer line will include sewer stub-outs to adjacent properties just outside the right-of-way, at a location identified by the property owner and at the expense of the master developer. Property owners will be responsible for connection and impact fees in effect at the time of connection.
3. PID Irrigation Water: Per PID policy, landowners may maintain access to PID irrigation water until the property developers if PID procedures for opposing detachment are followed.
E. PID Canal and Parkway
Per Chapter 3 of this Master Plan, the PID Canal will be undergrounded with a paseo constructed over the 40-
foot easement. A rural type fence (see Chapter 3) will be constructed on the east side of the paseo in conjunction with the undergrounding of the canal and construction of the paseo, at the expense of the Master Plan developers. This fence is intended to provide open views and avoid access to agricultural lands in the Ivy-Rose area. It is recognized the existing fencing provides access protection to the ranchette properties. The Master Plan does not require the removal of existing fencing and the new fencing may ultimately parallel existing fencing.
Exceptions to open fencing may be approved by the City in locations where existing homes abut the paseo.
Whether the undergrounded canal and construction of the paseo is built all at once or phased has not been determined. If the undergrounding and paseo is phased, there may be periods of time when the new fencing is not constructed along the full length of the paseo. In the interim, protection of agricultural properties will rely on existing fencing and the City will work with property owners to ensure their needs are met.
On the west side of the parkway, a parallel street to the parkway or other acceptable configuration will provide an open feel land use interface.
As the paseo is constructed, the City will coordinate with property owners on access to the parkway if desired. The Zacharias Master Plan developers will be responsible for relocating existing PID connections.
F. Infrastructure Timing and Financing.
The planned infrastructure for the Master Plan will have sufficient capacity to serve the Ivy-Rose areas should the area develop.
The following principles will apply to infrastructure timing and financing:
1. The financial obligations of the Community Facilities District (CFD) will not be imposed on undeveloped property or on existing developed properties.
2. Sale of properties do not trigger CFD fees.
3. Development of properties will require landowners to pay CFD fees, triggered by issuance of a building permit.
4. Connection to public water or sewer would not automatically trigger payment of CFD fees.
5. Gas and telephone lines will be installed with development occurs with the location of lines determined when joint trench designs are approved.
6. Since a new public sewer line in Rose Avenue will be constructed in the early stages of the Master Plan, Rose Avenue will not be widened with installation but will be repaved and then maintained by the City. The sewer line will go under the canal. The sewer line will have capacity for future development south of Ivy Avenue.

2.8 Other Community Elements
A. Community Landscaping Concept
The overall community landscaping concept will help to create a welcoming and comfortable outdoor space for residents and visitors. Common landscape elements throughout the project establish continuity between the varying land uses and help establish a sense of place. They also enhance the pedestrian experience and create an environment that is conducive to outdoor activity. The landscaping concept provides an overall theme to the community and is comprised of the following landscaped areas:
• Entryways to the community along Baldwin Road.
• Landscaping and tree planting along collector streets to form robust tree canopy.
• Landscaping in roundabouts.
• Landscaping along the lakefront in public areas.
• Parks.
The components of the community landscaping concept shall be developed in more detail prior to the submittal of development plans. The landscaping concept shall follow these design objectives:
Design Objectives:
• Theme: Use a consistent set of landscaped materials to help portray an overall cohesive look and theme for the Plan Area • Tree canopy: Use large canopy trees to maximize coverage of hard surfaces. Themed areas shall be developed to
include two – three tree species. Use of canary palms in gateways and roundabouts is highly encouraged. Street
trees in neighborhood units shall be uniform to provide identity.
• Use of drought-tolerant landscaping. The landscaping
concept shall maximize the use of drought tolerant
landscaping to meet or exceed the requirements of Section
18.78 of the Zoning Code.
• Accent shrubs and groundcover.
• Use of decorative hardscape and pathways.
B. Entryways
Entryway monuments ensure the community has a clear
identity and help emphasize and accentuate key views into the community. The Entryway Plan establishes community identity through the use of distinct entry signage, attractive landscaping, enhanced paving and vertical iconic elements. These entryway features help establish a connection to the rest of the Patterson community. Entryways will consist of Major Entryways and Minor Entryways.
One of the major features of both entryways will be the continued use of the Canary Island Date Palm or similar species, such as the California Fan Palm, as the primary theme tree species linking existing and proposed Patterson together. Use of architectural features reminiscent of Patterson history is highly encouraged.

CHAPTER THREE
CIRCULATION
3.1 Regional Circulation
The purpose of the Circulation Plan for the Master Plan is to establish the general layout and design standards for road, bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the Plan Area and to implement the City of “Complete Streets” network with an integrated roadway and trail system including walking and bicycling pathways, which extend the City’s existing circulation routes throughout the Plan Area.
The concept of a Complete Street is about developing a route for all transportation modes. Complete Streets are streets for everyone.
They are designed for access, mobility, and safety for all users, regardless of travel mode. Complete Streets are not about hindering the automobile, but enabling transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists to travel with automobiles. Complete streets vary widely in design and appearance. However, all complete streets are comfortable and safe for any user that travels along one.
3.2 Relationship to the General Plan and Master
Transportation Plan
Circulation Element. The Circulation Element of the Patterson General Plan provide policy guidance to create and maintain a roadway network that will ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the city, and to promote pedestrian, bicycle and rail travel as alternatives to automobile use. The Circulation Element provides a hierarchy of Arterial, Collector and Local Streets, and provides policies relating to Levels of Service, funding of transportation improvements, and safe pedestrian and bike pathways. The Master Plan conforms to the Patterson General Plan Circulation element due to the fact that the Plan will:
• Provide for “Complete Streets” that integrate the public and private realms and accommodates all transportation modes. • Provide for a hierarchy of arterial, collector and local streets. • Provide right-of-way for the South County Corridor.
• Maintain a minimum Level of Service “D” based on the Traffic Impact Study.
• Ensure adequate funding of transportation improvements through implementation of a Community Facilities District and other financing mechanisms.
• Provides traffic calming techniques.
• Creates a safe and robust pedestrian and bike pathways throughout the entire Master Plan area.
• Approval of the Zacharias Master Plan will include an amendment to the Circulation Element to add the additional network of streets.
Master Transportation Plan. To comply with the Master
Transportation Plan (MTP), the Master Plan will install regional, local, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation improvements. The Implementation Chapter of the Master Plan clarifies the timing and funding of the necessary transportation improvements. The MTP also provides a bicycle master plan, with recommendations on funding. The bicycle plan for Zacharias is consistent with that plan and in fact provides for a more robust network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

The Circulation Plan provides direct and convenient access to all residential, commercial/office area, and recreational land uses throuCircugh a safe and efficient network that includes arterial, major and minor collectors, local streets and bicycle and pedestrian routes (refer to Figure 28).
A. Zacharias Project Area. The primary regional roadways that serve the Master Plan Area include Zacharias Road to the north and west, Highway 33 to the east, and Baldwin Road, Rogers Road, and Ward Avenue to the south. Zacharias Road will eventually connect to Interstate 5 where a new interchange targeted is planned. Zacharias Road is also being considered to function as the South County Corridor. Right-of-way for the South County bypass will be dedicated as part of this project.
B. Baldwin Ranch Project Area. Baldwin Road, an existing Major Collector provides the primary access to Baldwin Ranch. The project will have a series of local streets and Tank Road, an existing local street, also provides access.

3.4 Major Arterials
Major arterials provide the backbone street network to get vehicles in and out of the community. Arterials are four-lane roadways accommodating over 18,000 average daily trips. Arterials have a landscaped median and either Class I or II bike paths. In the Zacharias area, Zacharias Road and Highway 33 are the main arterials serving the project. Baldwin Road north of the east-west connector and the eastern section of the east-west connector will also serve as arterials because of projected traffic volumes. The portion of the east-west connector between Highway 33 and Ward Avenue would not have a landscaped median due to constrained right-of-way. In addition, Baldwin Road will have a separate Class III paseo in the West Stanislaus Irrigation District (WSID) easement.

3.6 Minor Residential Collectors
Residential Collectors form the “spine” for the Zacharias project area and are characterized by two travel lanes, Class II bike paths and a separated sidewalk. They would accommodate 2,500 – 9,000 average trips per day. Homes would back onto the Residential Collectors, or parks, multi-family or mixed use may abut the street. See Section
2.2.A.4.d for design guidelines for development fronting Residential Collectors. The east-west connector is the primary Residential Collectors and provides a continuous roadway transversing the project area.
Two options for the residential collectors are provided. Option A has a Class II bike lane and no parking. Option B includes room for a parking lane, to be used where the Residential Collector abuts multifamily or mixed-use developments. The use of soundwalls is highly discouraged wherever possible although there may be locations along the Residential Collectors where single family homes backing onto the street with a soundwall is the only feasible alternative.
Multi-family residential, parks, schools, frontage streets, side-on lots shall be used to create an open feel to the streets, as outlined in Section 2.2.A.4.d.

Interior collectors provide connections to the Residential Collector and are characterized by two travel lanes, a Class II bike lane, and separated sidewalks. They would accommodate 1,000- 2,500 average trips per day. Homes would largely front on to the Interior Collector and a sound wall is not needed. Depending on traffic volumes, driveways directly onto the street would be avoided. See Section 2.2.A.4.e for design guidelines for residential development adjacent to Interior Collectors.
3.8 Local Streets
Local streets provide primary access to homes and would typically accommodate less than 1,000 average trips per day. Local streets will be determined at the time of subdivision submittal. Some local streets will include a Class III “Share the Road” designation to increase safety for cyclists to access the Class I and Class II bicycle network. Class III designations would be determined at the time of subdivision submittals.

Industrial streets private access to industrial uses in the western portion of the Zacharias Master Plan. The primary purpose of the industrial streets is to accommodate heavy truck traffic and employee trips.
3.10 Bicycle and Pedestrian Network
To implement the concept of complete streets, the bicycle and pedestrian network provides an alternative mode of transportation, links all components of the project area, and provides recreational opportunities to residents and visitors alike. The network especially connects schools, parks, the mixed-use core area, and the community shopping center. The interconnected trail system supports the vision of Zacharias Master Plan as a sustainable community The proposed network in the Zacharias Master Plan area will provide increased opportunities for pedestrian activity and ultimately reduce the dependence on the automobile.
The network is part of a regional network of bicycle facilities and will be consistent with and implement the Transportation Master Plan.

Class I Pathways are the most safe and convenient way for pedestrians and bicyclists to get around the Plan Area. Class I Pathways are separated from roadways and provide a strong recreational element as well as routes to schools and parks. A 30-foot wide Class I pathway encircles the core portion of the community, extending north-south along Baldwin Road and connecting to the elementary school and neighborhood parks. The 30-foot pathway would include a bicycle path, jogging trail, landscaping and a tree canopy. In particular, the PID Canal Paseo (40 feet) and the WSID Canal Paseo adjacent to Baldwin Road provide major recreational amenities to the community at large and would connect to community facilities to the south.
Design considerations. The following considerations should be given to the design of these paseos:
• Open fencing such as wrought iron. The PID Canal Paseo should consider a rural feel open wood fence that also prevents access to agricultural properties to the east while those properties remain in agricultural uses. Exception to the open fencing may be approved by the City in locations where existing homes about the paseo. • Homes facing paseo. See design guidelines in Section 2.2.A.4.c. for new subdivisions.
• Maintenance access. For the PID and WSID paseos, a gravel accessway should be provided.
• Landscaping. Abundant trees and plantings to provide an enjoyable experience. Where there is pipe underneath, tree planting should be non-invasive according to Irrigation District guidelines.

• Detention facilities. Consider combining stormwater detention facilities with paseos.
• Gates. In particular for the PID Canal Paseo, gates may be needed for access to ranchettes since several ranchette properties use irrigation water.
A. Class II Bicycle Lanes and Separated Sidewalks
Class II Bicycle Lanes are lanes that are part of the roadway, but separate bicyclists from the travel lane with striping. They can be painted green with special markings, and a painted two-foot striped buffer can separate them from vehicle travel. The Class II lanes coincide with certain minor collector streets and provide connection in between the Class I pathways to complete the network. Separated sidewalks with a landscaped planter are provided on the same streets designated for Class II bike lanes to ensure pedestrian safety and a pleasurable walking environment.
B. Class III Bicycle Designation
Class III bike lanes are shared with vehicles and are most often marked with signage. They can also be “sharrows” (share the road) with bicycle stencil pavement markings. The signage or markings alert drivers that the street is designated for bicycles. These designations will be on local streets and will be determined at the time of subdivision review.
C. Class IV Bicycle Lanes
Class IV bike lanes are physically separated from the vehicle lane by a curb or bollards. While not specifically designated on the Bicycle Plan, they offer a safer alternative to Class II bike lanes. Class IV bike lanes can be considered for the EastWest Connector.
D. Grade Separated Bicycle and Pedestrian Crossing Over Zacharias Road To provide for bicycle and pedestrian access to the high school and potential community park on the north side of Zacharias Road, a grade separated crossing will be provided over or under Zacharias Road in proximity to these facilities.
Sufficient right-of-way shall be provided in the Zacharias Land Use Plan to accommodate this crossing.

3.11 Traffic calming measures
The Circulation Plan strives to create safe, convenient, and attractive choices of mobility – for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles, both within the project and beyond. Reducing vehicle speed is the single biggest factor in designing safe streets. Slowing drivers increases visibility to pedestrians and bicyclists and reduces injuries from collisions.
A. Roundabouts
A series of roundabouts will be located at key intersections throughout the Plan area. Roundabouts include design features that promote safe and efficient traffic, pedestrian and bicycle flow by directing traffic in one direction around a central island.
B. Bulb-outs and curb extensions
To further slow traffic, bulb-outs and curb extensions are recommended for key locations where there is higher pedestrian activity. Bulb-outs and curb extensions are required around schools and are recommended around the mixed-use area parks. Final location of bulb-outs and curb extensions will be determined at the time of subdivision review.
C. Crosswalks and School Zones
A series of mid-block crosswalks, particularly near schools and parks, is recommended. Near schools, such crosswalks should have pedestrian stop lights to stop traffic to allow pedestrians to cross safely. Final locations of cross walks will be determined at the time of subdivision review.

3.12 Transit Facilities
The opportunity for future public transit will help achieve the vision of the Master Plan as a sustainable community and will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and vehicle miles traveled. As of 2020, Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT) provides fixed route bus service linking Patterson to Modesto, Turlock, and Crow’s Landing/Newman/Gustine. The Patterson Transit Center is located at the Veteran’s Memorial Park. StaRT also offers a commuter bus to the Dublin BART station. A Dial-A-Ride service provides curb-to-curb service within Patterson with advance reservations.
Although none of the current fixed routes directly serve the Master Plan area, opportunities exist to plan for future transit routes that would serve both the Zacharias and Baldwin Park project areas.
Current Route 45W serves a portion of Baldwin Road, Sperry Avenue, and Keystone Parkway, and expansion of that route may be possible once buildout of the Plan area occurs. Planning for future transit routes involves two elements:
A. Bus Stops
Designating potential bus stops at key locations can set the stage for future transit service. Bus stops should generally be located in high activity areas with commercial, employment and higher density residential. The following exhibit provides potential locations in the Zacharias project area.
The goal is to have a bus stop within ¼ mile of each home. Final locations shall be determined in consultation with the Stanislaus Regional Transit Agency.

3.13 Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies encourage future property owners, developers, and employers to use creative and effective ways to reduce motor vehicle trips and their associated impacts. TDM strategies should ensure that new developments are designed to make non-single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel easier for new residents, tenants, employees, and visitors by using sustainable travel modes such as carpooling, vanpooling, carsharing, transit, walking, biking, and teleworking. TDM encourages developers, businesses, property owners, homeowners’ associations, public agencies and institutions to provide information, incentives, advocacy, and specific services for enhanced transportation options.
TDM for the proposed project has the following goals:
• Reduce the frequency and distance of auto trips
• Shift trips towards the use of environmentally friendly and nonmotorized modes of transportation • Partner with project developers and communities to reduce SOV trips
• Increase the accessibility and convenience of alternatives to driving-alone
• Increase awareness of all transportation choices and costs • Encourage use of innovative programs and new technologies to reduce driving alone
TDM strategies for the Master Plan include strategies for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
A. Residential. TDM strategies for residential properties focus on reducing demand through location of land uses, and through a robust bicycle and pedestrian network. Reductions in travel demand in the Zacharias project area is achieved by the following land use elements:
1. Location of new residential in close proximity to
employment centers. Residents will be able to cycle or walk to jobs or have a short drive.
2. Mixed Use Center. The Mixed-Use area provides an
opportunity for residents to live and shop in close proximity.
3. Diversity of housing types. With an emphasis on a diversity of housing types, homes will be available to employees at most income levels, allowing them to live close to work.
4. Robust bicycle and pedestrian network. The project area has a robust network of bicycle and pedestrian paths that will enable residents to easily walk or bike to stores, services and employment centers.
B. Employment Centers. Development projects that employ more than 50 people will prepare a project-specific Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan that includes measures from the following menu applicable to each project:
1. Transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities
2. Alternative work schedules
3. Guaranteed ride home
4. Carpool or vanpool program
5. Commute assistance and ride-matching
6. Shuttle program / shuttle consortium / fund transit service
7. Transit passes or subsidies
8. Car share on-site

COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
4.1 Parks and Open Space
The Master Plan includes a comprehensive network of parks and open space to meet the recreational needs of the community and to connect the Master Plan to the remainder of the community.
A. Relationship to the General Plan and Parks Master Plan.
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Element of the General Plan provides guidance to the Master Plan on the amount and type of parks and open space. Specifically:
• Parks standard. The City shall establish a minimum standard of five acres of developed parkland (combined pocket,
neighborhood, and community) per 1,000 residents. (PR-1.2) • Requirements for development. New development shall be required to assist in meeting the City’s standard of five acres per 1,000 residents. To this end, the City shall require all new development to dedicate land, dedicate improvements,
pay in-lieu fees, or a combination of these determined
acceptable by the City, to the maximum extent authorized by law. (PR-1.3)
• Joint-use. The City shall pursue and maintain agreements for joint-use of school facilities as a high priority for the development of new park and recreational facilities,
especially for after-school activities. (PR-1.7)
• Neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks shall be
integrated into, and become focal points of, new residential neighborhoods. Pedestrian accessibility to these parks shall be emphasized. (PR-1.7)
The Parks Master Plan also provides guidance to this Master Plan. The Parks Master Plan recommends:
• Of the 5 acres per 1,000 residents, 2.5 acres should
be designated for community parks and 2.5 acres for
neighborhood parks.
• Every Patterson resident should be within a ¼ to ½-mile barrier-free walk of a neighborhood park.
• A community park should be located within 1 to 2 miles of every resident.
The Parks Master Plan also provides guidelines for design of individual parks. These guidelines will support the development of parks that draw users from a range of age groups and interests together in spaces that provide an array of possible experiences and that express the “place” in unique and interesting ways. Each park should be context-specific, taking into consideration the site’s natural, cultural and demographic conditions, in addition to program priorities.
B. Neighborhood Parks.
Neighborhood parks provide easily accessible open space for local residents. Neighborhood parks typically offer a range of active and passive activities and are reachable by walking or biking without crossing major streets.
The Zacharias Project Area provides a total of 59.7 acres of neighborhood parks west of the PID Canal ranging in size from 3.0 – 10 acres. The smaller “pocket” parks will focus on playgrounds, picnic areas, and sports fields. The larger parks will be able to accommodate multiple sports fields as well as walking paths and larger group picnic areas. The Plan provides a series of small parks and linear parkway to create an interesting focal point adjacent to the lake feature.

7.2.b
Packet Pg. 251 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan When the Ivy-Rose ranchette area develops, 6.5 acres of neighborhood parks will be included in this area. These parks are not currently shown in the Master Plan and may consist of one or two parks depending on the timing and location of development.
The total neighborhood park acreage for the Zacharias Project Area will be 66.2 acres, slightly above the required 65.6 acres. Thus, the project meets the required 5 acres of park land per 1,000 population. In addition, the project will contribute towards community parks in the City as determined by the Development Agreement.
The neighborhood parks will be centrally located throughout the Plan area with a goal of locating them within ¼ mile of every resident. The ¼ mile radius includes distance from the PID Canal Parkway, as shown in Figure 27.
The Baldwin Ranch Project Area provides a two-acre neighborhood park central to the neighborhood. In addition, a two-acre detention basin that may also be available for park purposes is provided at the southwest corner of Tank Road and Baldwin Road. The requirement for 5 acres per 1,000 population amounts to 4.7 acres. The remainder of the required acreage to meet 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents will be met by in lieu fees to be used toward the Community Park.
Final siting of neighborhood parks shall conform to the following guidelines:
1. Design and configure parks to provide active and passive elements for a range of users, including a combination of active sports, passive recreation, play areas, picnic areas, and gathering spots.
2. Locate parks so that at least three sides are bounded by a street, lake, or other open space.
3. Locate parks to enhance community livability and quality of life and should not be isolated remnant pieces of land.
4. Locate and configure parks to have clear entries and edges to create a sense of arrival, welcoming and orienting users.
5. Strengthen connections between the park and other public spaces, paseos, and community destinations.

The central mixed-use area will have open space, plazas, and public gathering areas that will serve as a focal point for the neighborhood. The configuration and size of this area will be determined when development plans are submitted. Design guidelines for this area are found in Section 2.4.C. While this gathering area doesn’t count for the park acreage requirement, it will provide an important and exciting amenity for the community.
D. Relationship to Community / Regional Parks
A Community or Regional Park serves a broader segment of the community and is more of a “destination,” and should be located within 1 – 2 miles of every resident. A North Community Park is tentatively planned on 20 acres in the vicinity of the high school site at the northwest corner of Zacharias Road and Baldwin Road, in close proximity to the Zacharias Master Plan, to be determined based on the update to the Parks Master Plan and on the feasibility of joint use of flood control and recreation facilities. This park may take advantage of opportunities for joint use of facilities such as an aquatics facility, indoor gym, or a lighted tennis court complex.
To provide for bicycle and pedestrian access to the high school and potential community park on the north side of Zacharias Road, a grade separated crossing will be provided over or under Zacharias Road in proximity to these facilities.
The financing plan for the Zacharias Master Plan will provide a funding contribution for community or regional park facilities, as determined by the Development Agreement.

4.2 Schools
Two schools are planned for the Zacharias Master Plan. First, a 14-acre Elementary School will be constructed east of Baldwin Road adjacent to a planned neighborhood park. Second, a 14-16 acre middle school is planned west of Baldwin Road. The final location of both schools will be determined based on the below guidelines.
A new 40-acre High School is planned for the northwest corner of Zacharias Road and Baldwin Road. Construction of the high school is likely 20 years in the future depending on buildout of the Zacharias Master Plan and the Villages of Patterson.
A new elementary school site is planned for the Baldwin Ranch area. The Apricot Valley Elementary School is located approximately one mile to the north.
A. Elementary School (east of Baldwin):
• Minimum acreage of 14 acres.
• Must be rectangular in shape.
• Located adjacent to a park. Joint use of facilities is preferred. Any joint use requires park fencing to ensure security during school hours.
• Streets should abut at least three sides of the school. • Provide durable fencing adjacent to any residential uses. • Located over ¼ mile of agricultural uses.
• Bike path must go around the school, not through it.
B. Middle School (west of Baldwin):
• 14-16 acres in size.
• Must be rectangular in shape.
• Streets should abut at least three sides of the school. • Provide durable fencing adjacent to any residential uses. • Preferred location is in the south portion of the TPF portion of the plan area. Alternative locations may be considered by the Patterson School District if acceptable access is provided and the location is central to the community.

4.3 Police Services
Police services in Patterson are provided on a contractual basis by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s.
Department. Police Services is headquartered at 33 South Del Puerto Avenue in downtown Patterson. In 2020, Police Services employed 21 sworn staff and four non-sworn staff. The General Plan aims to ensure an adequate level of police service is maintained as new development occurs, with a goal of a three-minute Priority 1 (emergency) response time of three minutes and a staffing level of 1.5 police officers per 1,000 population.
Police headquarters are located 3.7 miles from the furthest portion of the Zacharias area, and 2.5 miles from the Baldwin Ranch area. The Patterson Police regularly patrol all parts of the city limits and police units would be expected to respond to calls within both areas within acceptable response times. The Master Plan would not require the construction of new police facilities to achieve and maintain adequate response times. in 2013, the City adopted a Public Safety Master Plan (PSMP) to establish a vision of the future public safety needs and services as the City grows toward build-out in accordance with the General Plan. The PSMP seeks to ultimately build a public safety facility that houses police, fire, and EOC functions.
Buildout of the Master Plan will generate the need for approximately 29 additional police personnel and may create a citywide need for an additional police station or expansion of the existing police station. The Master Plan will be required to annex to the Police and Fire Community Services District (CFD) in order to fund the appropriate share of future public safety personnel and facilities.
4.4 Fire Services
Fire protection and emergency medical services in Patterson is provided by the Patterson Fire Department. The Fire Department operates two stations located at 344 West Las Palmas Avenue (No. 1) and 1950 Keystone Pacific Parkway (No. 2). In 2020, the Fire Department employed 18 sworn personnel to staff the two stations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The General Plan aims to ensure an adequate level of fire and emergency medical services is maintained as new development occurs, with a goal to achieve and maintain an overall fire insurance (ISO) rating of five or better, an average response time for Priority 1 (emergency) calls of five minutes for 95 percent of the calls, and a staffing level of 1.0 fire fighters per 1,000 population.
Fire Station No. 2 is located 2.5 miles from the furthest portion of the Zacharias area, and 1.7 miles from the Baldwin Ranch area, resulting in a 4 minute 17 second response time for the Zacharias area and a 2 minute 55 respond time for the Baldwin Ranch area. These are considered acceptable response times and the Master Plan would not require the construction of a new fire station to achieve and maintain adequate response times.
In 2013, the City adopted a Public Safety Master Plan (PSMP) to establish a vision of the future public safety needs and services as the City grows toward build-out in accordance with the General Plan. The PSMP seeks to ultimately build a public safety facility that houses police, fire, and EOC functions, and four new fire stations built incrementally as development occurs.
Buildout of the Master Plan will generate the need for approximately 21 additional firefighters and may create a citywide need for an additional fire station or expansion of one of the existing stations. The Master Plan will be required to annex to the Police and Fire Community Services District (CFD) in order to fund the appropriate share of future public safety personnel and facilities.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
5.1 Overview and Infrastructure Components
A. Overview
This chapter describes how necessary infrastructure improvements will be undertaken to:
• Support development contemplated by the Master Plan;
• In a way that can respond to market conditions; and
• While being equitable for future residents and businesses.
Infrastructure and public facilities will comply with the Infrastructure Master Plans adopted by the Patterson City Council for the purpose of ensuring that infrastructure improvements meet future demand based on buildout of the Patterson General Plan (2010). • Transportation Master Plan (2020)
• Water Master Plan (2018)
• Sewer Master Plan (2016)
• Parks and Recreation Master Plan
• Storm Drainage Master Plan (2018)
• Urban Forestry Master Plan (2019)
Capacity for infrastructure systems is determined by the type and density of development within the Plan Area. Anticipated infrastructure improvements are graphically depicted in this Chapter of the Master Plan. These conceptual plans will be refined through the tentative map and improvement plan process to reflect City design criteria and establish the exact size and location of facilities.
B. Infrastructure Components
The infrastructure improvements will be made in three primary methods: 1) developer-built and dedicated to the City (or other public agency); 2) City-built capital improvements; or 3) developerbuilt and maintained improvements. Funding for infrastructure improvements varies depending on the status of City Fee programs.
The City of Patterson will provide funding for wastewater and stormwater facilities necessary to serve the Plan Area as part of an adopted fee program. In the early stages of development within the Master Plan Area, Transportation, emergency services, and park infrastructure will be funded and constructed through multiple sources including “fair share” fees, municipal bonds, and private investment. When the City adopts fee programs for transportation, parks and/or emergency services, funding from those programs will be available to defray improvement costs. Funding from fee programs may be used to pay for infrastructure improvements or to reimburse developers for the cost of infrastructure improvements depending on the availability of funds.
Maintenance of all infrastructure will be provided by the City of Patterson through a combination of taxes, user fees, existing community facilities districts, or new community facilities districts.

5.2 Transportation
The City of Patterson will ensure that adequate transportation improvements are available to support project needs and City requirements. Transportation improvements consist of regional, local, and project related improvements.
Project transportation improvements are also discussed in Chapter 3 – Circulation. All transportation improvements shall comply with the Transportation Master Plan (2020) and the transportation system depicted in Figure 29 (Circulation Plan).
Buildout of the Master Plans would contribute new trips to intersections, roadways, and freeways forecast to operate at unacceptable levels. The project is required to participate in funding programs to address off-site traffic impacts.
In most cases, the Master Plan will contribute to these off-site improvements on a fair share basis. Some of the improvements will be the project’s responsibility as outlined in the Public Facility Financing Program (PFFP). Some of the facilities are outside the jurisdiction of the City and the City will need to coordinate with regional agencies (Caltrans and Stanislaus County) to implement such improvements.
The following major off-site and on-site transportation components are included, as depicted on Table 6. These major improvements may be modified through the adoption of the Public Facilities and Financing Plan.

Both the Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Project Areas will require onsite transportation improvements as outlined in Chapter 3. Larger transportation improvements may be funded by the Community Facilities District (CFD) established for the projects. Those not specifically funded by the CFD will be funded by other fee programs or will be the responsibility of individual developers.
5.3 Water
The City of Patterson derives all of its water supply from groundwater pumping of the Delta-Mendota Groundwater Subbasin. The Subbasin is split into two aquifers: an upper (non-potable) and a lower (potable). The two aquifers are separated by the thick, semi-impermeable Corcoran Clay layer.
The City operates 10 wells, 8 potable and 2 non-potable, that pump from both aquifers.
The City of Patterson will provide potable and non-potable water supply services for the Plan Area. The water supply distribution piping network will be connected to the City water system in accordance with the Water Master Plan (2020) and the water facilities and distribution system depicted in Figure 45 (Potable Water Master Plan) and Figure 47 (Non- Potable Water Master Plan.
Water for the Plan Area is currently provided by the West Stanislaus Irrigation District and the Patterson Irrigation District (PID), both providing non-potable water for agricultural uses. In time, water supplied by these irrigation districts will be replaced by domestic services provided by the city for both potable and non-potable water.
A. Potable Water Supply
1. Zacharias Project Area
To meet anticipated water needs, two (2) new additional wells will need to be completed as part of the water system which will serve the Project Area. The development will also need to provide related infrastructure (e.g. storage tank(s) and pumps) as needed to support future development. The Project Area will be served by a looped water system consisting of 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch potable water lines within the boundaries of Rogers Road, Zacharias Road, and Ward Avenue, and State Route 33. The looped system will connect to existing utility lines on Rogers Road, Baldwin Road, and Ward Avenue / State Route 33 (3 connections), to tie into the existing potable system. A new 12-inch water line will be installed on Ward Avenue parallel to existing water lines and connected to the existing lines.
Individual development projects are responsible for installing all water lines necessary to serve the development, but the City may reimburse the development for larger facilities (e.g. water lines, 10 inches or greater, wells, and recharge facilities).

The Woodard & Curran Water Supply Assessment concluded
that the City of Patterson has adequate supply to serve the Zacharias and Baldwin Master Plan areas. While the City has sufficient existing supplies to serve the Master Plan, implementation of the Master Plan would significantly increase the City’s demands and would contribute a substantial portion of the City’s anticipated deficiency at buildout. Consequently, the project is contributing to long-term water supply needs by installing facilities to recharge both groundwater basins.
The Master Plan would promote upper aquifer recharge
throughout the development area by incorporating pervious surfaces. The estimated yield of the on-site capture and recharge to the upper aquifer provided by the Master Plan is approximately 1,185 AFY, which should more than offset the increase in non-potable demand of 140 AFY. The non-potable demand could be reduced or mitigated through drought
tolerant landscaping or by requiring more specific landscaping efficiencies.
The Master Plan will contribute to lower aquifer recharge by constructing recharge facilities, Specifically, the project will dedicate land and construct facilities (e.g. collection ponds, pumping stations, and transmission facilities) to allow for surface waters to be captured and routed to a basin that will allow for recharge of the lower aquifer. These facilities are depicted in Figure 49 and the described in greater detail under the stormwater discussion of recharge facilities.

5.4 Stormwater
A. Zacharias Project Area
The storm drainage control facilities will be implemented within the Zacharias Project Area with the intention of providing for two goals:
storm drain recharge, and flood control. The storm drainage system will utilize multiple stages of storage involving both detention and retention purposes for the project site.
1. Recharge Basin. A storm drain recharge basin facility will be built west of the annexation area on the north side of Zacharias Road at or near the area shown on Figure 49. The intent is to recharge the water through retention to the lower aquifer where potable water is drawn by city wells, with the ground filtering the water prior to reaching the water table. Recharge facilities will include dedication of land and the installation of pump stations and a pressure main to convey surface water collected in stormwater facilities to the recharge area where it will recharge the lower aquifer.
2. 100-year FEMA Flood Protection. For flood mitigation, the proposed Regional Park to the West of the future High School site on the north side of Zacharias Road, as shown on Figure 50, will be designed to store the anticipated 183 acres of flood water runoff for a 100-year, 24-hour storm event (calculated by Balance Hydrologies, Inc.), mitigating the effects of floodwaters shown in the 100-Year Flood Depths for Del Puerto Creek Hydraulic Model provided by Balance Hydrologics, Inc. This will serve as the FEMA solution for flood protection for a 100-year storm.
3. Detention and Retention Basins, and Lakes. The storm drainage system will run with multiple stages of storage and retention within the project site. For areas developed prior to the installation of the major storm drain facilities (lakes, FEMA basin, and recharge basin), the basins will be designed for retention purposes (100-yr, 24-hr storm event). These basins include the Keystone Ranch Planning Area, TPF Development Planning
Area, and a portion of the Zacharias Ranch Planning Area. For areas developed after the installation of the major storm drain facilities, the basins will be designed for detention purposes (10- yr, 24-hr storm event). These basins include the Ivy Rose Gardens Planning Area and a portion of the Zacharias Ranch Planning Area. The detention basins in the Zacharias Ranch Planning area will have gravity-flow outlets, while the basin in the Ivy Rose Gardens Planning Area will have a pump station and force main to pump the stormwater.
The detention facilities will flow to the lakes within the Lakeside Hills Planning Area, which will serve as a wet pond for storage purposes.
The storm drain detention system (excludes the retention basins) will need to hold a 100-yr, 24-hr storm per Stanislaus County and City of Patterson Standards. The lakes will be designed to hold the 100-yr, 24-hr storm for the Lakeside Hills Planning Area, and the remainder of the 100-yr, 24-hr storm for the basins served by the detention basins (10-yr, 24-hr storm volume is held in the detention basins).
The water will be pumped into a force main outflowing into the FEMA basin, to be temporarily stored. Another pump station and force main will be at the FEMA basin to pump the water west to the proposed recharge basin, where the ultimate percolation will occur.
The pumps will have a maximum flow-rate of 3000 gallons per minute (gpm). With this, the storm drain system will be designed to drain the water from the detention basins in 72 hours (24-hr storm time plus the 48-hr drawdown time after the storm), where the water is held in the lakes, FEMA basin, and recharge basin until it is percolated.
SCADA flood control systems will be installed at each detention basin outflow, lake outflow, and the FEMA basin outflow per the City of Patterson Standards. The Storm Drain, Stormwater Recharge & FEMA Solution Master Plan on Figure 48 shows the storm drainpipe, basin, and pump station facilities within the planning areas. 98 • ZACHARIAS & BALDWIN RANCH MASTER PLAN • City of Patterson

The Baldwin Ranch Project Area will utilize the City’s storm drain detention system, with an extended detention basin in the northeast corner of the development area. The basin will need to meet City of Patterson Standards for a 10-year gravity detention system, as well as the Phase II Permit Post Construction Requirements for the State of California; specifically, the Multi-Agency Post-Construction Standards adopted by the City of Patterson. The Storm drain system will consist of a number of storm drain laterals draining to storm drain main ranging from sizes of 18” to 36”, that feed into the proposed extended detention system. The runoff will be drained from the basin through a SCADA-controlled outlet to the existing storm drain / irrigation lateral on Baldwin Avenue heading north to Sperry Avenue. Alternatively, the project may connect it’s basing to the Baldwin Ranch North project basin, subject to it being built.

5.5 Sewer
The City of Patterson Public Works Department Wastewater Division provides wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal for both the City of Patterson and Diablo Grande, a small community located 6 miles to the west.
A network of sanitary sewer collection pipelines, approximately 63.4 miles in length and ranging in diameter from 6 to 33 inches, collects wastewater throughout the City. The main trunk pipeline is located beneath Walnut Avenue. Two lift stations assist in the conveyance of wastewater to the Water Quality Control Facility. The Water Quality Control Facility, which occupies approximately 240 acres, is located at 14901 Poplar Avenue and is permitted to treat 2.25 million gallons per day. The facility treats an average of 1.65 million gallons on a daily basis. Treated effluent is disposed of via percolation and evaporation ponds.
The City of Patterson has prepared improvement plans and acquired land for the expansion of the facility (often referred to as Phase 3 expansion).
The plans call for expanding the facility’s treatment capacity to 3.50 million gallons per day (mgd). The City also has plans for subsequent treatment plant expansion (Phases 4 and 5) that will result in an ultimate capacity of 6.0 MGD.
A. Zacharias Project Area
The sewer main for the two southwestern warehouses in the Zacharias Project Area is leading south to the existing sewer main in Keystone Pacific Parkway. This will eventually tie into the existing trunk sewer system running through Sperry and Ward Avenues.
For the TPF Development, Keystone Ranch, and the southern parcels of the Ivy Rose Gardens Planning Areas, a new sewer main will be constructed in Rose Avenue and Ward Avenue to the existing sewer main on Vicki Lynn Lane. The existing 10” sewer line on Vicki Lynn Lane will be upgraded to a larger 12” line heading southeast towards Salado Creek up to the existing 8” line running parallel to N. 4th Street that currently connects to the M Street Trunk Line. A new line on 4th Street will be constructed to help re-route the sewer past the existing blockage in the sewer system on M Street, with the existing 8” line being rebuilt /refurbished as necessary. The connection on Ward Avenue and Vicki Lynn Lane will be a temporary connection until the North Patterson Trunk Sewer (NPTS) Line is constructed and operational to the Zacharias Project Area. Upon the operation of the NPTS Line, a sewer line will be constructed to connect north to the NPTS Line, and the connection to Vicki Lynn Lane will be disconnected.
The Lakeside Hills Planning Area and remainder of the Ivy Rose and Zacharias Project Area will connect to the NPTS Line where appropriate.
Construction will be triggered after construction of the NPTS Line up to their property limits, or whenever appropriate afterwards. The NPTS Line will be sized and constructed based on the proposed buildout within the City of Patterson Sewer Master Plan.
The project area sanitary sewer facilities are as shown on Figures 38, 39, and 40 on Page 18. The actual alignments may be modified to be consistent with future tentative map proposals and designs.
Project implementation can only occur in stages that follow expansion of treatment plant capacity. An infrastructure monitoring and reporting program will be required (See Chapter 6) to ensure that development phasing is adequately served by necessary infrastructure improvements.

Table 9 summarizes the combined wastewater generation of the Master Plans at buildout. As shown, the Master Plans would generate an estimate 1.006 MGD at buildout.
The City of Patterson’s Water Quality Control Facility has a reliable capacity of 2.25 mgd and receives an average of 1.65 mgd during dry weather conditions The City approved a 1.25- mgd expansion of the Water Quality Control Facility in 2010, which would increase capacity of 3.50 mgd.
Furthermore, the City has approximately 1.332 mgd of capacity committed to other approved projects. When the existing dry weather flows of 1.65 mgd are accounted for, there is a projected future demand of 2.982 mgd without buildout of the Master Plans.
As previously noted, the proposed Master Plans would generate
1.013 mgd at buildout. The applicants would be assessed sewer connection fees to fund capital improvements to the municipal wastewater collection and treatment system. This would include capacity upgrades at the Water Quality Control Facility.
5.6 Solid Waste
Construction waste generation is summarized in Table 10. Buildout of the Master plans would generate 24,612 cubic yards of solid waste over a period of at least two decades. These values are conservative and do not account for any construction demolition debris recycling practices that would reduce the solid waste stream volume.
The Fink Road Landfill has 7.1 million cubic yards of remaining capacity. Thus, proposed Master Plan’s construction solid generation value would represent less than 0.01 percent of remaining capacity.
Patterson Municipal Code Chapter 6.14 requires all construction and renovation to implement construction and demolition debris recycling.
Applicants are required to submit a waste management plan as part of the building permit application describing how construction and demolition debris recycling would be carried out.

IMPLEMENTATION
Funding for, and administration of the Master Plan must remain flexible over time to respond to market conditions in a way that best serves the needs of property owners and the City. This chapter describes how the City of Patterson will implement the Master Plan.
6.1 Master Plan Administration
A. Applicability
The development and design standards contained in the Master Plan provide specific standards for land use development within the Master Plan area. The Master Plan supersedes the otherwise applicable City of Patterson Zoning Ordinance regulations.
Whenever the provisions and development standards contained in the Master Plan conflict with those contained in the Zoning Code, the provisions of the Master Plan shall take precedence. Where the Master Plan is silent, the City of Patterson Zoning Ordinance shall apply.
B. Interpretation
If any provision or portions of any provisions of this Master Plan or its application to any person or circumstance are held to be invalid, the remainder of the Master Plan and the application of those provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. If an issue, condition, or situation arises or occurs that is not sufficiently covered or provided for in this Master Plan, those provisions applicable to the most similar issue, condition, or situation shall be used. The Planning Director shall resolve the issues, conditions, or situations in a manner that is consistent with the Master Plan. If the Planning Director determines that a conflict exists between the Master Plan and the City of Patterson Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the Master Plan shall take precedence. This provision shall not be used to permit uses not specifically authorized by this Master Plan or the Zoning Ordinance. The intent is to resolve ambiguity in the regulations and ensure consistent application. The words “shall”, “is”, “will”, “must,” and “are,” denote that provisions or criteria are mandatory and must be included in subsequent subdivision and site development plans.
Mandatory provisions may also be termed “requirements” in the Plan. The word “should” indicates that elements of the plan are not mandatory but strongly recommended. Recommended elements may also be termed “recommendations” in the Plan. The word “may” denotes that the criteria is permissive.
C. Zoning Map and Subdivision Review Process
Upon adoption of the Master Plan, the City of Patterson General Plan map and Zoning map will be amended to show the land use designations of this Master Plan. The Zoning map will show the Master Plan area as a “Major Development Project” overlay. The provisions of Section 18.42.050 will apply:
18.42.050 Major development projects.
For major development projects as defined in Chapter
18.98, application shall be made for planned development approval. Project review shall include, but shall not be limited to, architecture, site plan, consistency with goals and objectives of the general plan and environmental and economic impacts on the community. In addition, such
large-scale development shall be fully consistent with the community design guidelines and downtown physical design plan, adopted October 2002, as may be amended from
time to time. Exception: Projects within the West Patterson business park master plan area shall not be subject to this requirement.
Major development projects as defined at Chapter
18.98, once constructed, shall be maintained and kept in appearance as if in full operation, notwithstanding any cessation of business, abandonment or change in operation or ownership. This shall include but shall not be limited to August 2022 • 111

At the time of subdivision map submittal, each applicant shall submit a Master Plan and Zoning Conformity Matrix that summarizes the project’s compatibility with provisions of the Master Plan and applicable zoning ordinance regulations. This submittal shall articulate any minor amendments or transfers requested.
D. Amendments to the Master Plan
As more detailed plans are prepared to implement the Master Plan, minor amendments may be required be required to the provisions of the Master Plan. This section sets forth the regulations governing Planning Area boundary and acreage adjustments, and transfers of dwelling units and nonresidential building square footage which are permitted by the Master Plan.
1. Adjustment/Transfer Administration
The adjustment and transfer regulations are intended to provide flexibility in the implementation of the Master Plan.
Flexibility is needed for several reasons. First, because of the size of the Master Plan Area, land use designation boundaries and acreages are necessarily generalized. Refinements to the land use designation boundaries and acreages will occur with future specific project design and more detailed subdivision mapping and engineering. Precise land use boundaries will be established by the recordation of final subdivision maps.
Over the anticipated buildout of the Master Plan there will be many economic, market, and social changes to which the Master Plan should properly respond. This could result in the need for somewhat larger or smaller commercial or mixed-use sites, and changes in the amount and/or types of residential units within specific land use designations.
To facilitate the ongoing documentation of boundary and acreage adjustments and dwelling unit and nonresidential building square footage transfers, the Zacharias Land Use Plan (Figure 5), the Zacharias Land Use Breakdown (Figure 6), and the Baldwin Ranch Land Use Plan (Figure 7) will serve as the record-keeping devices for the Master Plan Monitoring Program.
The Monitoring Program will ensure that the adjustments and transfers made in the Plan Area do not exceed either the maximum number of units (Zacharias 5,086; Baldwin Ranch 306) or the maximum nonresidential building square footage (Zacharias 7,765,000 square feet) without amendment of the Master Plan.
2. Minor Adjustments
Minor adjustments to the proposed zoning boundaries may be made concurrent with subdivision approvals to ensure that final zoning districts precisely coincide with future street, alley, utility facilities, or recreation facility lot lines. Any combination of the adjustments or transfers may be implemented with respect to a given planning area; however, an updated, revised Land Use Map and Land Use Summary Table must be submitted to the City of Patterson with each subdivision map to be processed, and are required at such time as any of the adjustment or transfer provisions set forth in this section are implemented.
The Planning Director may approve administratively these minor adjustments/transfers if all the following are true:
The minor adjustment:
• is in substantial conformance with the Master Plan;
• does not increase the maximum number of dwelling units that can be constructed or maximum square footage of
nonresidential development; and
• complies with all applicable provisions of State Law.
3. Major Adjustments
Major adjustments or zone changes shall be considered
amendments to the Master Plan and shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of the City of Patterson Codes, Ordinances, and California State Law.
E. Design Review
Design review of site and architectural elements shall occur concurrently with submittal of each subdivision. The Planning Commission may defer review of architectural elements of proposed homes to a later stage of the process, in accordance with established design review procedures.

6.2 Project Financing
Implementation of the Master Plan will stimulate new residential, industrial, and commercial development resulting in an increase in the number of residents and employees in the City of Patterson. This increased Plan Area population will generate an increase in the demand for City services and will create the need for additional investment in capital facilities. Simultaneously, new development will expand the City’s revenue base (taxes and fees) and provide additional bonding capacity the City may use to defray infrastructure costs.
The Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) provides a comprehensive financing strategy to fund backbone public facilities, including transportation, water, wastewater, storm drainage facilities, and parks. The PFFP will focus on the viability and bonding capacity of the new Community Facility District expected to fund the majority of the backbone infrastructure. The PFFP will also examine how any bonding program will work in concert with development impact fee program.
Following is a summary of various funding sources for the Master Plan.
A. Private Investment
In addition to financing the residential, industrial, and commercial improvements associated with this project, development in the plan area is primarily responsible for public improvements as part of the project costs except as otherwise funded by the City or through a Community Facilities District.
B. Existing City Funding Programs
City funds are from multiple sources, general fund revenue (enterprise fees and property taxes), bonds (long-term debt), impact fees, and community facility district revenue for maintenance.
1. General Fund
The City has both general fund services and enterprise fund services. Enterprise funds are water, sewer, and solid waste fees for services averaging 22% of annual revenue while property and sales taxes average 16% of general fund revenue. The primary general fund expenses are law enforcement (19%), public works (16%), and fire (13%).
2. Bonds
The city maintains long term debt that has been accumulated primarily in revenue bonds. Bond funds are used to pay for capital improvements and general government.
3. Impact fees
The city has established a suite of impact fees which collect funds from developers to help fund the infrastructure needed to serve new growth. The city will periodically update the fee program to reflect infrastructure needs, as new development occurs, within the project area or elsewhere in the city, the impact fees paid can help to fund necessary infrastructure.
4. Maintenance Community Facilities District
Beginning in 2013 the City of Patterson has begun requiring new development to fund on-going maintenance of capital facilities by collecting special assessments through community facilities districts. The project will be required to annex to the following community facility districts, or a new CFD maintenance district, to fund public improvements accepted by the City as part of the project including, storm drain inlets and lines; streets including signs, lights, and traffic signals; and parks, landscaping and street trees.
• CFD 2013-01 – non-residential maintenance services; and • CFD 2018-02 – residential maintenance services.
5. Regional Fees and Grants
A portion of capital costs may be defrayed by the application of fees collected by regional or County agencies and state and federal grants, particularly related to regional capital improvement needs.

Packet Pg. 285 Attachment: Patterson Zacharias Master PLan_080922 (Zacharias and Baldwin Ranch Master Plan
6.3 Phasing
The actual pace and sequence of development will be driven by several factors, including:
• Market Demand
• The availability of infrastructure funding
• Availability of private investment
In turn, these factors will dictate the pace of infrastructure improvements not just to serve the Plan Area, but also to serve existing infill development opportunities in the City of Patterson as well as the approved development, including Keystone Pacific, Villages of Patterson, and West Patterson Business Park Expansion (Arambel).
The phasing of the infrastructure will be planned so that initial project construction will not be burdened with construction of improvements not needed until later in the project build-out.
The scope, timing and location of each phase shall be determined by the developer and may change at the discretion of the developer, provided all infrastructure improvements necessary to serve that portion or phase of the project are in place prior to occupancy of that portion or phase of the project. Proposed infrastructure plans will be reviewed and approved by the City to ensure that sizing of the infrastructure for each portion or phase of development is appropriate.
Development of the Zacharias Project Area is expected to occur over the course of approximately 20 years. The various areas of the Master Plan are anticipated to be developed in two major phases. Development is anticipated to generally start in the southeast area of the project (Keystone Ranch) and move west and then north. Although the southern portion of the Ivy/Rose ranchette area is shown in Phase I due to the availability of sewer, this area will not necessarily be included in the initial phases of development and, at this time, it is not anticipated that this area will be developed at the initial stages of the overall project.
The Baldwin Ranch Project Area is expected to develop in a single phase.
Table 11: Special Tax Rates
A. Community Facilities District for Capital Improvements in the Zacharias Project Area
The City of Patterson established Community Facilities District (CFD) No. ### in ##### 2021 to augment General Fund revenues available to pay for transportation, water, sewer, storm drain, and parks and open space. Owners of newly developed property within the Project Area will be subject to annual special tax based on the increased development placed on their properties. The initial special tax rates are as follows, and are indexed annually to increase with the Consumer Price Index:
The City plans to periodically issue bonds based on this revenue stream to partially fund needed infrastructure improvements.
D. Project-Specific Impact Fees
The City of Patterson established project-specific Impact Fees to augment other funds to finance public improvements. This fee is paid at the time of building permit issuance.
E. Development Agreement
A development agreement is a contract between a local government and a developer. It specifies in detail the responsibilities of each party, and typically includes a commitment by the local government to vest rights to develop the project in accordance with the existing policies, rules and regulations, and a commitment by the developer to install or develop certain improvements, or to make certain payments. As stated in Government Code Section 65864:
“The agreement may also include terms and conditions relating to applicant financing of necessary public facilities and subsequent reimbursement over time.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) is prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Baldwin Master Plan / Zacharias Master Plan Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2018122052). This document is prepared in conformance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code, Section 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000, et seq.).
The purpose of this Draft EIR is to inform decision makers, representatives of affected and responsible agencies, the public, and other interested parties of the potential environmental effects that may result from implementation of the proposed project. This Draft EIR describes potential impacts relating to a wide variety of environmental issues and methods by which these impacts can be mitigated or avoided.
Project Summary
Project Location
The Zacharias and Baldwin Master Plans encompass 1,227.1 acres outside the Patterson city limits in unincorporated Stanislaus County, California.
The 1,158.4-acre Zacharias Master Plan is bounded by Rogers Road (west), Zacharias Road (north), the California Northern Railroad tracks and Ward Avenue (east), and existing residential and business park uses (south).
The 68.7-acre Baldwin Master is located at the southern terminus of Baldwin Road and is bounded by the Delta-Mendota Canal (west), the City of Patterson Corporation Yard (north), and agricultural uses (east and south).
Project Description
The proposed project consists of two separate Master Plans (Baldwin and Zacharias), that together involve the annexation of 1,297 acres into the City of Patterson and contemplate the development of residential, mixed use, commercial, industrial, school, parks, and open space uses. The combined buildout potential of the Master Plans is 5,086 dwelling units, 7,765,000 square feet of nonresidential uses, two schools, a dual use stormwater basin / recreational facility, and 76 acres of parks / open space.
Section 2, Project Description provides a complete description of the project.
Project Objectives
The objectives of the proposed project are to:

1. Promote positive contribution to the local and regional economy through new capital investment, creation of new employment and housing opportunities, and expansion of the tax base.
2. Develop a mix of new residential uses in proximity to a regional job center.
3. Continue to attract new businesses to the City of Patterson by providing adequate, available land and infrastructure.
4. Facilitate buildout of the City of Patterson General Plan.
5. Maintain a high quality of life in the City of Patterson through the provision of schools, parks, open spaces, and trails in residential areas.
6. Facilitate the development of the South County Corridor by reserving land for the future alignment of this transportation corridor and limiting new connections from the Master Plan area.
7. Promote land use compatibility with the Ranchette area by appropriately citing roadway connections and affording property owners the option of maintaining their existing land use activities or developing low density residential uses.
8. Ensure that the Patterson city limits are expanded in an orderly and logical manner.
9. Avoid the premature conversion of viable agricultural land through the use of buffers and by affording property owners the ability to continue to farm their land until the time is right for development.
10. Work with PID and WSID to protect groundwater resources and their irrigation canals as the Master Plan area transitions from agricultural/rural residential to urban use.
Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
The proposed project would result in the following significant unavoidable impacts:
Important Farmland: Buildout of the proposed Master Plans would convert 1,246 acres of Important Farmland to non-agricultural use. Mitigation is proposed consisting of farmland preservation elsewhere in Stanislaus County; however, preservation would still result in the net loss of farmland. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Consistency With Air Quality Plan: Buildout of the proposed Master Plans would result in ozone precursor and particulate matter emissions that would exceed adopted thresholds and, therefore, would be inconsistent with San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s air quality plan. Mitigation is proposed requiring air emissions reduction measures; it would not reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Cumulative Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts: Buildout of the proposed Master Plans would result in ozone precursor and particulate matter emissions that would exceed adopted thresholds and, therefore, have a cumulatively considerable contribution to regional air

Mitigation is proposed requiring air emissions reduction measures; it would not reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Generation: Buildout of the proposed Master Plans would result in greenhouse gas emissions that would exceed adopted thresholds. Mitigation is proposed requiring air emissions reduction measures; it would not reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Consistency With Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan: Buildout of the proposed Master Plans would result in greenhouse gas emissions that would exceed adopted thresholds and, therefore, would be inconsistent with State greenhouse gas reduction strategies.
Mitigation is proposed requiring air emissions reduction measures; it would not reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Existing Plus Approved Plus Project Traffic Conditions: The proposed Master Plans would contribute new vehicle trips to intersections, roadway segments, and freeway segments that would operate at unacceptable levels under Existing Plus Approved Plus Project Traffic Conditions. Mitigation is proposed consisting of improvements to affected facilities; however, in certain cases, it would not restore operations to acceptable levels or is considered uncertain because the facilities are outside the jurisdictional control or the City of Patterson. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
2040 Cumulative Plus Project Traffic Conditions: The proposed Master Plans would contribute new vehicle trips to intersections, roadway segments, and freeway segments that would operate at unacceptable levels under 2040 Cumulative Plus Project Traffic Conditions.
Mitigation is proposed consisting of improvements to affected facilities; however, in certain cases, it would not restore operations to acceptable levels or is considered uncertain because the facilities are outside the jurisdictional control or the City of Patterson. Therefore, the impact is significant and unavoidable.
Summary of Project Alternatives
Below is a summary of the alternatives to the proposed project considered in Section 5, Alternatives to the proposed project.
No Project Alternative
Neither the Baldwin Master Plan nor the Zacharias Master Plan would be implemented and the planning areas would continue their existing agricultural land use activities within unincorporated Stanislaus County.
Zacharias Master Plan Only Alternative
The Zacharias Master Plan would be implemented as contemplated and the Baldwin Master Plan would not be pursued. The buildout potential of this alternative is 4,781 dwelling units, 7,765,000 square feet of nonresidential uses, and two schools. The Zacharias Master Plan Only Alternative is the Environmentally Superior Alternative.

A 25 percent reduction would be applied to the buildout potential of both the Baldwin Master Plan and the Zacharias Master Plan; however, the boundaries of the plans would remain the same. The buildout potential of this alternative is 3,815 dwelling units, 5,823,000 square feet of non-residential uses., and two school sites.
Ivy Avenue Connection Alternative
Both the Baldwin Master Plan and the Zacharias Master Plan would be pursued as contemplated, but Ivy Avenue would provide a through connection between Ward Avenue and the Patterson Irrigation District (PID) Lateral M Canal.
