DATE: May 15, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Dalia Fadl, Principal Engineer
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF THE NORTH

POINT PROJECT TO THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2014-2 (STREET, LIGHTING

AND LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE)

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would approve Annexation Map. No.10 for the North Point project to Community Facilities District No. 2014-2 (Street, Lighting and Landscape Maintenance) and approves the recording of the annexation map and the Notice of Special Tax Lien.

BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2014, the City adopted a resolution of intention to establish a Community Facilities District (CFD) and Future Annexation Area for Citywide street, lighting, and landscape maintenance services. On June 2, 2014, the City adopted the resolution forming CFD No. 2014- 2 pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (State of California Government Code Section 5311 et seq.) (the “Act”). The action defining the Future Annexation Area for the District provided for a more efficient process for the annexation of property when the property owners have provided unanimous consent. Defining the Future Annexation Area provided the resolution of intention, noticing, and public hearing for the entire Future Annexation Area, so these steps do not need to be repeated for each annexation.

The annexation process for projects within the future annexation area is streamlined by receiving a petition and waiver from the property owner(s), the City Council approving the Annexation Boundary Map by resolution, followed by the recording of the Annexation Boundary Map and Notice of Special Tax Lien by the City Clerk.

DISCUSSION
The project included in this action was conditioned to annex to CFD No. 2014-2 to provide funding for maintenance services including the maintenance, repair, replacement and lighting of public streets, roads, landscape, and appurtenant facilities in the public right of way. In April 2023, the property owner signed a unanimous approval of the annexation to CFD No. 2014-2

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

(see Attachment 4). Adoption of the attached Resolution approves Annexation Boundary Map No. 10 for the North Point project and directs the City Clerk to execute and record the Map and Notice of Special Tax Lien for the project.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
This annexation has no impact on the city's general fund. Funds collected will be used for maintenance of streets, lighting, and landscape maintenance services.

(the “Act”); and WHEREAS, the action defining the Future Annexation Area for the District provided for a more efficient process for the annexation of property when the property owners have provided for their unanimous consent such that the annexation process for projects within the Future Annexation Area has been reduced to receiving a petition, consent and waiver from the property owner(s); and

Based on review of building permit records for property within the CFD, the Administrator shall determine which Parcels in the CFD are Developed Property for purposes of levying the Special Tax pursuant to Section D below.

If a Parcel in the CFD is rezoned prior to such Parcel becoming Developed Property, the City may in its sole discretion, move the Parcel to a different Tax Zone based on the rezone.

On April 17, 2023, City Council reconsidered their previous direction for denial of the Logisticenter project. Staff were directed to return with a Resolution with findings of approval for consideration at the May 15, 2023 meeting.

Therefore, staff returns with the recommendation to determine the project Exempt per Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning) per the CEQA Guidelines and adopt the Resolution for a Major Design Review, subject to the Findings in the attached Resolution and the Conditions of Approval.

RESULT OF RECOMMNENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would determine the proejct exempt from further CEQA analysis and approve the Applicant’s reqeust for a Major Design Review for a 155,040 SF shell building as proposed within the project plans.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
On March 6, 2023, the proposed Logisticenter project was taken to City Council for discussion with no formal recommendation but rather a request for direction from the Council on the project. After hearing public comment and deliberation, staff received direction to prepare documents for project denial. The March 6, 2023, staff report can be found as Attachment 4.

City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 3
At the April 3, 2023 Council Meeting, prior to staff ‘s return with documents for denial, City Council made a motion and directed Staff to bring back the Logisticenter project for reconsideration of their March 6, 2023 motion directing staff to prepare denial documents.

With the motion on April 3, 2023, the project returned to City Council for reconsideration on April 17, 2023. City Council listened to staff’s presentation regarding the fiscal impact of potential litigation as well as additional public comment received from the community. After deliberation of the project, staff was directed to return with approval documents for the project at the May 15, 2023 City Council Meeting. The April 17, 2023, staff report can be found as Attachment 5.

In addition, staff did receive an additional legal letter from legal counsel of the Applicant. This letter has been included as Attachment 6.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review is exempt from CEQA review under CEQA State Guidelines Section 15183. This exempts from CEQA projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior EIR, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior EIR.

The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA). An EIR was certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 1998 for the VOZSPA.

Additionally, a Supplemental EIR was prepared and certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 2002 for the plan area.

The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review involves development of a 155,040 square foot industrial shell building with parking and loading docks. The development also includes landscaping, drainage, and required screening/fencing for a loading dock area. The business and professional park (BP) site was identified in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area EIR and uses contemplated within the BP designation include those uses listed in the Sacramento County Zoning Code under the BP and MP (Industrial Office Park) use tables located in Chapter 25 and Chapter 30. Warehousing is a permitted by right use as listed in Table IV I.3.

Additional supplemental technical studies were prepared to further support that no additional project related impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. These technical studies include additional traffic analysis, as well as a noise study. The traffic analysis results found that the existing roadways were planned and built to accommodate traffic based on the projected projects in 2002 and that the actual development being realized for existing, proposed, and planned developments in the SPA is lower than what was identified in those 2002 planning documents. Therefore, with the lower regional, area, and project specific trip generations, it is expected that there will be sufficient roadway capacity within the VOZSPA. In addition, the noise study that was completed concluded that noise levels associated with the project generated onsite operations would satisfy the General Plan noise criteria at the nearest existing residential uses. This is due in part to existing solid noise barriers in the vicinity, as well as overall on-site operational practices.

City Council Staff Report – Page 3 of 3
As this Major Design Review is consistent with the Special Planning Area and the environmental documentation prepared for the Special Planning Area, it is exempt from CEQA review. So long as the project does not have any project-specific significant effects peculiar to the Major Design Review and not identified in the previous environmental documentation, the project is exempt and no additional environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required.

The project applicant is requesting approval of a Major Design Review for the proposed project.

Additionally, under CEQA, the City lacks the discretion under the Major Design Review approval process to consider environmental effects not related to the design of the Project, including, but not limited to human health impacts from toxic air contaminants, greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts of biological resources.

RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Upon conclusion of the presentation and public testimony, City Council could do the following:

1. Determine the project Exempt per Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning) per the CEQA Guidelines and

2. Adopt the Resolution for a Major Design Review, subject to the Findings in the attached Resolution and the Conditions of Approval.

CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA
RESOLUTION NO. XX-2023

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA,

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A MAJOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR THE LOGISTICENTER AT RANCHO CORDOVA PROJECT NO. PLND-1021-0015 WHEREAS, Dermody Properties, (hereinafter referred to as Applicant) filed a separate application for a Major Design Review approval for the Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is the appropriate authority to hear and take action on this project; and
WHEREAS, the project site is located at the northwest intersection of Bear Hollow Drive and N. Mather Boulevard and includes a Major Design Review for a new 155,040 SF shell industrial building and site improvements; and
WHEREAS, the project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA) and includes a previously agreed upon Development Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Development Agreement provides vested rights for the property to apply the 2003 Sacramento County Municipal Code which was applicable at the time and was utilized during the review of this project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cordova has conducted a properly noticed public hearing pursuant to Government Code section 65090 and has duly considered all written and verbal testimony presented during the hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cordova makes the following findings based upon the recitals above and all evidence in the record and carefully considering all public comments heard at City Council and community meetings and written correspondence:

1. The CEQA exemption found in California Code of Regulation Title 14, Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning) is an adequate exemption according to the Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act.

A. Finding: The project has been analyzed and is exempt per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15183 “Projects Consistent with the Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning”.

Evidence: The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review is exempt from CEQA review under CEQA State Guidelines Section 15183. This exempts from CEQA projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are projectPage 746 of 937 ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 2 of 13
specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior EIR, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior EIR. The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA). An EIR was certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 1998 for the VOZSPA. Additionally, a Supplemental EIR was prepared and certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 2002 for the plan area.

The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review involves development of a 155,040 square foot industrial shell building with parking and loading docks. The development also includes landscaping, drainage, and required screening/fencing for a loading dock area. The site was identified in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area EIR and uses contemplated within the BP designation include those uses listed in the Sacramento County Zoning Code under the BP and MP (Industrial Office Park) use tables located in Chapter 25 and Chapter 30. Warehousing is a permitted by right use as listed in Table IV I.3.

Additional supplemental technical studies were prepared to further support that no additional project related impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. These technical studies include additional traffic analysis, as well as a noise study. The traffic analysis results found that the existing roadways were planned and built to accommodate traffic based on the projected projects in 2002 and that the actual development being realized for existing, proposed, and planned developments in the SPA is lower than what was identified in those 2002 planning documents. Therefore, with the lower regional, area, and project specific trip generations, it is expected that there will be sufficient roadway capacity within the VOZSPA. In addition, the noise study that was completed concluded that noise levels associated with the project generated on-site operations would satisfy the General Plan noise criteria at the nearest existing residential uses. This is due in part to existing solid noise barriers in the vicinity, as well as overall on-site operational practices.

As this Major Design Review is consistent with the Special Planning Area and the environmental documentation prepared for the Special Planning Area, it is exempt from CEQA review. So long as the project does not have any project-specific significant effects peculiar to the Major Design Review and not identified in the previous environmental documentation, the project is exempt and no additional environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required.

The project applicant is requesting approval of a Major Design Review for the proposed project. Additionally, under CEQA, the City lacks the discretion under the Major Design Review approval process to consider environmental effects not related to the design of the Project, including, but not limited to human health impacts from toxic air contaminants, greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts of biological resources.

The Project is Exempt from Further CEQA Review
Public Resources Code section 21083.3 established a procedure for streamlined CEQA review for projects that are consistent with development densities established by an existing community plan for which an EIR was previously certified. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.3, subd. (a); see also Guidelines, § 15183) As discussed above, in these instances, CEQA review “shall be limited to effects upon the environment which are

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 3 of 13
peculiar to the parcel or to the project and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior environmental impact report, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior environmental impact report.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.3, subd. (a).)
As noted above, the Project is located in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA). An EIR for this Area was certified by the County in 1998. A Supplemental EIR was certified by the County in 2002.

As explained by Hanson Bridgett and as explained above by the City the Project is consistent with development densities in the VOZSPA. Hanson Bridgett also concluded that no technical studies have identified any project-specific environmental effects not analyzed in the VOZSPA EIR. Neither Hanson Bridgett, the City Attorney, nor City staff, have identified any other project specific factors that would require further environmental review under Section 21083.3 and Guideline Section 15183. Substantial public comment has alleged the impacts from PM 2.5 stemming from the project are significant “new information” under CEQA, thus requiring a new EIR. When an EIR analyzes air quality impacts, as the EIR for the VOZSPA did, and information about a particular type of air quality impact was known or could have been known before the EIR was certified it is not new information under CEQA and does not require a new EIR. (See, e.g., 62 Fed.

Reg. 38652 et seq. (July 18, 1997) (U.S. EPA adding two new PM 2.5 standards to 40 CFR Part 50, National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter).) Given the federal regulation for PM 2.5 cited above predates the certification of the EIR, it is clear that PM 2.5 was a known air quality impact at the time of certification. It is well established that environmental issues known or knowable at the time the EIR was certified cannot constitute “significant new information” or “changed circumstances” justifying subsequent CEQA review. (See, e.g., Citizens Against Airport Pollution v. City of San Jose (2014) 227 Cal.App.4th 788, 806-808). No evidence shows that the impacts of PM 2.5 are project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or the project site, or that similar impacts would not occur on all similarly zoned properties used for the permitted uses of the zoning code and VOZSPA.

Further, consistent with the City’s above analysis, Hanson Bridgett noted that the project design is not anticipated to implicate any new environmental effects, and the scope of any CEQA review and analysis is limited to environmental effects within the scope of the City’s design review authority.

The City Attorney’s firm agrees with Hanson Bridgett that the Project is accordingly exempt from further CEQA review. While the City has heard and thoughtfully considered resident comments and concerns about air quality, noise and other environmental issues, the City cannot require additional CEQA review.

2. The Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement is valid and in full force and effect.

Finding: The Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement is valid until June 22, 2023.

Evidence: Nothing in Government Code section 65865.3 invalidates the Development Agreement or says that the Development Agreement became void when the City incorporated. The residents of Rancho Cordova began their efforts to circulate a petition to incorporate the City in April 1997. The Petition to Incorporate was certified as a Sufficient Petition on October 27, 1999. The Incorporation Election occurred on

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 4 of 13
November 5, 2002. On May 22, 2002, and prior to City incorporation, Sacramento County LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 1243, which stated “[a]ny and all development agreements entered into between the County of Sacramento and any development project applicant, and any conditions of approval (including mitigation measures adopted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act) imposed by the County Board of Supervisors on any and all discretionary projects adopted and approved prior to the effective date of incorporation shall remain valid and enforceable between the applicant and the new City of Rancho Cordova, subject to Government Code Section 65865.3, subdivision (a) and (b). This established a condition for City incorporation to affirm all existing development agreements. On May 21, 2003, the County of Sacramento and Elliott Homes, Inc., an Arizona Corporation, entered into the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement (“Development Agreement”), which was adopted on May 28, 2003. Shortly after incorporation and following all procedures required to adopt a development agreement, the City of Rancho Cordova adopted all ordinances of the County of Sacramento through Ordinance No. 1-2003 which adopted the text of seven development agreements including the Development Agreement with clear reference to the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement as approved by the County.

Numerous actions taken by the City, the County, and other public agencies with jurisdiction over the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area confirm and demonstrate a clear recognition that the Development Agreement remained fully in effect and legally binding on the City following the City’s incorporation. On December 15, 2003, the City approved a General Plan Amendment reflecting a change in the land use designation of the Alexander Collection Subdivision within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area and subject to the Development Agreement rights and obligations, from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential, by adopting Resolution No. 82-2003. On December 15, 2003 the City of Rancho Cordova amended the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area document to rezone certain parcels from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential, by adopting Ordinance 29- 2003. The City of Rancho Cordova first amended the Development Agreement on August 2, 2004 to reflect the rezoning affected by the adoption of Resolution No. 82- 2003 and Ordinance 29-2003 as well as to revise the term of the Development Agreement from 20 years to 15 years from the effective date of the Development Agreement. This First Amendment stated that “[e]xcept as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect”, thereby ratifying and reaffirming the Development Agreement. The City of Rancho Cordova amended the Development Agreement a second time on January 19, 2010 through Ordinance 25-2009, to remove approximately 30 acres of land from the Development Agreement due to a purchase and sale between the State of California and Elliott Homes, Inc. The Second Amendment stated that “[e]xcept as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect” thereby ratifying and reaffirming the Development Agreement. The City of Rancho Cordova amended the Development Agreement a third time on August 1, 2016 to replace a land use exhibit to the Development Agreement and to extend the term of the Development Agreement by five years, to expire twenty (20) years from the effective date of the Development Agreement. The Third Amendment stated that “[e]xcept as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect” thereby ratifying and reaffirming the Development Agreement. The City, as a result of its incorporation, succeeded to the County of Sacramento’s interests in the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement.

Regarding whether Government Code section 65865.3 imposes durational limitations on

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 5 of 13
the Development Agreement, the City finds, based upon the statute and legislative history, that the durational limitations are not applicable to the Development Agreement because the development agreement approval process was initiated after the incorporation process was started. The development agreement long postdated the “date that the first signature was affixed to the petition for incorporation”, thereby not meeting the requirement set forth in Government Code section 65865.3(c)(1). Because subsection (c)(1) cannot be met, the durational limits set forth in Government Code section 65865.3 do not apply. Further, Government Code section 65865.3 does not provide the exclusive basis by which a development agreement between a developer and county binds a successor city. The effective date of the Development Agreement is June 22, 2003. The Development Agreement is effective for twenty years after the effective date, or until June 22, 2023, therefore the Development Agreement is still valid and in full force and effect. None of the above actions were ever challenged within the applicable statute of limitations for each action, even actions after the development of much of the residential portions of the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area Developers and property owners of both non-residential and residential properties have relied on and benefited from the validity of the Development Agreement and the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area.

Finding: The City is bound by the development standards vested by the Development Agreement and may not impose any conditions or restrictions on the Project contrary to the established: (1) density and intensity of use; (2) maximum height and size of proposed buildings; (3) timing or phasing of development; (4) zoning; or (5) provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, provided for under the 2003 Sacramento County Zoning Code and Zinfandel Special Planning Area at the time that the parties entered the Development Agreement.

Evidence: Pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2, and 4.1 of the Development Agreement, the permitted uses of the property, the density and intensity of use, maximum height and size of proposed buildings, timing or phasing of development, zoning, provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes, are vested at the time of the effective date of the Development (“Vested Rights”). The City is prohibited from altering the Vested Rights for the duration of the Development Agreement, unless such subsequently enacted rules, regulations, ordinances, laws, and official policies, adopted or modified after the effective date of the Development Agreement are applied uniformly to all similar properties or developments in the City, do not prevent the development of the property subject to the Development Agreement for the uses and to the density, or intensity of development provided for under the Vested Rights, do not negatively impact the timing or rate of development of the property subject to the Development Agreement, and are not in conflict with matters which are specifically addressed in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area, and are consistent with the goals and policies of the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area.

3. The project is consistent with the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area development standards vested by the Development Agreement.

Finding: The project is consistent with the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA) and applicable zoning designated for the project site.

Evidence: The proposed project is consistent with the Intent of the VOZSPA and the applicable objectives provided in Section 512-200 of the VOZSPA. The project provides

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 6 of 13
infill development that promotes the phasing out of the original mining operations by adding a use that occupies vacant land in the area. The project incorporates light industrial uses that reuses existing vacant land and promotes the intent of the VOZSPA as a mixed-use plan. The project will also utilize existing right of way connections, specifically along Bear Hollow Drive south of the property boundary and N. Mather Blvd to Zinfandel Drive and will be adding a sidewalk along Bear Hollow Drive to the benefit of the overall pedestrian connectivity of the VOZSPA.

The proposed LogistiCenter project site is zoned Business and Professional Office (BP) as listed within the VOZSPA. Permitted uses within the BP areas are those permitted in both the BP table (Section 225 of the 2003 Sacramento County Code) and the Industrial – Office Park (MP) Zone (Section 230 of the 2003 Sacramento County Code). The proposed project has been submitted as a shell industrial building and therefore is “wholesaling and warehousing” at this time which is allowed by right at this location.

Future tenants that do not use the building as a warehouse will require an additional review to determine if additional City approvals are required. One zoning standard that has been discussed at length during the hearings, is height. In the BP area, Development Standards shall be those that apply to BP zoning within the Sacramento County zoning code, one of which is a 40-foot height maximum. Forty-foot (40’) height is permitted by the zoning and all areas of the building are within this maximum, including even the tallest architectural elements and roof portions of the project

4. The project is consistent with the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area Design Guidelines.

The proposed project shall not be approved unless the project conforms with the following project goals and guidelines for the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area. The project has been reviewed against the design guidelines that are applicable to non-residential uses and has not been reviewed against sections that are solely applicable to residential uses.

The project design has been discussed by the developer with City Council and been the source of public comment for nearly a year at numerous public hearings. The project was initially submitted on October 25, 2021 and received a completeness determination on January 12, 2022. Community meetings to discuss the project design were held on November 16, 2021, June 27, 2022 and September 7, 2022. The Project has been presented before the City Council at its April 18, 2022, July 18, 2022, December 5, 2022, January 17, 2023, and March 6, 2023 meetings. Through this process, the project design has changed significantly based on the design guidelines and desires of the community. For instance, the current project differs from the original proposal by incorporating additional landscaping for screening purposes, a more articulated roofline on all four sides, and various conditions on truck traffic patterns in order to minimize impacts to the community. These design changes have evolved over the course of a year with input from the community and the City Council and analysis from staff. Between the April 18, 2022 meeting and the July 18, 2022 presentation, the applicant included additional large stature trees for landscape screening for the loading dock area along Bear Hollow and the elevated bike trail. The project also included additional conditions of approval for restrictions on truck routes and signage directing trucks to use N. Mather exclusively. Design elements incorporated into the project include an angled driveway that directs trucks south on Bear Hollow directly to North Mather, and the project is conditioned to construct bulbouts at the intersection of Bear Hollow with Air Park, Robola and Auvernat. The proposed bulbouts will narrow the road resulting in further deterrent to trucks driving this corridor, reduced speeds for all vehicles, and greater protection for pedestrians. At the January 17, 2023 City Council meeting, staff presented a

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 7 of 13
list of community requests, in response to which the applicant has modified the project to accommodate such requests by limiting hours of operations, requiring a screening wall at the end of Debina Court, requiring no truck parking on N. Mather, and various environmental modifications such as installation of electrical outlets at truck loading docks to reduce idling for refrigerated trucks and the construction of Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure.

A. Finding: Section 1: Introduction and Purpose
a. Sub-finding: The proposed project adheres to applicable portions of Section (A)(1): Project Goals for the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area.

Evidence: The project adheres to the goals of the Design Guidelines which are applicable to commercial/industrial uses within the VOZSPA. The project is located adjacent to the Mather Air Force Base within the Business Professional zoning designation. The proposed warehouse use is consistent with light industrial use and the design of the building incorporates aspects of business professional buildings such as second story windows, highlighted main entrances and upgraded landscaping, creating a land use transition element between Mather Air Force Base and the residential area. The project will construct additional sidewalks along Bear Hollow Drive, providing a continuous connection to N. Mather Blvd, and promoting interaction and pedestrian circulation between the residential areas and employment areas, as well as the existing bike trail along the project’s southwest property line.

B. Finding: Section 2: Project Design Theme
a. Sub-Finding: The proposed project adheres to Section 2(1): Village Concept Evidence: The VOZSPA promotes a village concept throughout the Villages of Zinfandel. The concept promotes a diversity of architectural styles, landscapes, amenities, and employment. The village concept allows for a mix of land uses and densities as well as internal circulation that encourages the idea of creating a community in and of itself. The project location is outside of the Village Core of the VOZSPA. The proposed project would also be adding a use that would provide an employment opportunity to the area with on-site improvements including landscaping and public sidewalks, that would develop and enhance the existing vacant property.

C. Finding: Section 3: Circulation and Access
a. Sub-Finding: The overall plan circulation has already been established and the section does not apply to this specific project.

Evidence: Section 3 of the Design Guidelines highlights the overall design and construction of the circulation system of the VOZSPA including street patterns, major streets, “Main Street”, residential streets, and the off-site trail system. This circulation system has already been established and built throughout the Special Planning Area. This project does not include any changes or modifications to existing roads other than the installation of a sidewalk and off-site pedestrian crossing areas along Bear Hollow Drive that will improve walkability and pedestrian safety in the area. The project is also

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 8 of 13
designed and conditioned with elements and traffic controls that will direct its vehicles to routes which will further mitigate its impact on residential areas and the school. There is extensive evidence in the staff reports and extensive oral testimony from the City’s Public Works Director that, the existing roads and circulation design is adequate to accommodate the anticipated truck traffic from the project.

D. Finding: Section 4: Site Planning and Design
a. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (A)(3) Building Orientation design guidelines for Non-Residential Uses – All Types.

Evidence: The proposed building has been oriented to incorporate as much frontage along public right of ways as possible. The building provides an entrance along both N. Mather Blvd and Bear Hollow to allow for convenient access to the site. The customer/employee parking area will be along N.

Mather Blvd, however significant landscaping has been proposed to screen the parking area and the building. Commercial vehicle parking is located in the rear of the site to minimize visibility from the public right of way and significant landscaping has been added to the west side of the property to screen from the elevated trailway adjacent to the site. The project will not provide a direct connection to the adjacent commercial site as it is a restricted access property, however, the project will add additional sidewalk along Bear Hollow to continue the existing pedestrian connectivity to N. Mather and to the existing bike trail. The construction of this project and its landscaping will provide screening for the existing parking lot and the solar carports of the adjacent California Military property, from N. Mather consistent with Section (3)(f). The project is not sited in close proximity to residential areas as the closest parcel to the project is the California Military property and across Bear Hollow a parcel zoned Business Professional (BP). There is no residential neighborhood adjacent to, or in the City’s interpretation in close proximity to, the project therefore section (3)(f) does not apply and the scale and character of the project does not need to scale to the residential neighborhood. Even if the project was in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, the project does scale to them because of the distance from the nearest neighborhood and the similarity to the adjacent parcels’ buildings or zoning. When built, the project will maintain the same character as the closest buildings which are the California Military property and a parcel zoned for light industrial. The closest residential neighborhood includes houses that are a variation of one- and twostory properties, therefore the 40’ height of the project does not significantly exceed the scale of the residential neighborhood. As viewed from the residential neighborhood, the impact of the building’s scale is significantly reduced due to the distance from the project site, therefore the project complies with section (3)(f).

The project complements the nearby California Military property as it is a similar scale, it therefore complements adjacent buildings and landscape consistent with Section (3)(e).
b. Sub-Finding: The project exceeds the Section (B) (1) Walls and Fencing design guidelines for All Use Types.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 9 of 13
Evidence: The project does not provide any soundwalls on-site as none were required by the completed sound study, however the project is providing a 12- foot screen wall along the North portion of the property along Bear Hollow constructed of durable, high quality material. The intent of the wall is to fully screen the commercial truck parking in the rear of the building from the public right of way. The proposed wall will be constructed with colors and materials consistent with the construction of the building. In addition, the landscaped area between the wall and Bear Hollow Drive, will consist of dense evergreen landscaping to soften the appearance of the wall and provide additional screening of the site.
c. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (C) Loading, Service/Storage Areas, and Ground-Mounted Mechanical/Utility Equipment design guidelines.

Evidence: The loading areas of the proposed project have been located in the side or rear of the building to minimize visibility from the public right of way. A pop out wall has been on the building near and parallel to Bear Hollow in order to further screen the truck bays from view. Upgraded landscaping has been included along Bear Hollow Drive as well as along the bike trail adjacent to the west property line to further screen the project. Trash Enclosures have also been located in loading areas, away from public rights of way to reduce visibility and to allow convenience access to both the users on-site and disposal services.
d. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section 4(D) Lighting design guidelines.

Evidence: The project includes lighting throughout the property including free standing lights and building attached lights. All lighting will be focused on-site and screened to avoid light trespass to adjacent properties. Freestanding and building attached fixtures will be consistent in design with the proposed building and compatible with building facades.

Consistent with Section 4(D)(3), there are no exposed lamps or tubes that will be visible from any public right-of-way, and lighting has been designed to screen light from view from off-site.
e. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section 4(E): Signage of the design guidelines.

Evidence: The project does not include signage as part of this Development Plan Review. Signage will be a separate submittal to the building and safety department and will be reviewed at that time for consistency with the Design Guidelines, including Section (4)(E).

E. Finding: Section 5: Architecture
a. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (5)(D)(1)(a) Building Form and Detailing design guidelines for Non-Residential Uses.

Evidence: The City’s reads Section (5)(D)(1)(a) maintaining a scale compatible to residential neighborhoods to only apply when residential character predominates. The City finds that residential character does not predominate because the project is located directly adjacent to the California Military Headquarters with additional Business Professional (BP) Zoning across Bear Hollow Drive. The nearest residential neighborhood to the project site is approximately 930 feet to the east and 790 feet to the north of the Veranda subdivision. Since residential character does not predominate, the guideline does not advise that the building maintain a scale compatible to residential neighborhoods. The building has been designed to be consistent with the mass of the adjacent building and anticipated structures within the BP zoning designation.

Even though not required by Section (5)(D)(1)(a), the building does maintain a scale compatible with residential neighborhoods given the location of the project in relation to the nearest residential neighborhoods. The closest residential neighborhood includes houses that are a variation of one- and twostory properties, therefore the 40’ height of the project does not significantly exceed the scale of the residential neighborhood. The project is not directly adjacent to any existing residential neighborhoods but is surrounded by other commercial buildings. The proposed project is for a single building that is approximately 155,040 square feet in size. Other recently constructed buildings in the area include the Bold and Beauty building located at the intersection of Zinfandel Drive and N. Mather Boulevard which is approximately 164,000 square feet with parapets ranging from 37’ (for a majority of the building) with a max height of 46’-4” (at three architectural tower features) and the CA National Guard Headquarters adjacent to this property which is approximately 238,000 square feet for its main building at a height of approximately 39-feet tall on a pad at a higher elevation and closer to the residential neighborhood than the proposed project. The project is consistent with the maximum height listed in Section 325-04 of the 2003 Sacramento County Zoning Code is 40-feet. Consistent with the ways to mitigate building mass listed in the third and fourth sentences of Section (5)(D)(1)(a), the building mass is mitigated by design elements such as: (1) an articulated roof with multiple parapets; (2) variety of surface textures and indentations; and (3) variation in window styles and height, all to provide visual relief from long, flat surfaces, avoiding the appearance of large blank walls and reducing the monolithic effect of the project.
b. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (5)(D)(1)(b) Building Form and Detailing design guidelines for Non-Residential Uses.

Evidence: This sub-section states that “[b]uilding form should avoid proportionally long, flat surfaces” and “[l]arge areas of blank walls with few openings or details should be avoided on facades facing streets or public spaces.” While this provides direction to the City to endeavor to achieve these design goals, the use of the word “should” does not provide a mandatory obligation for the City to avoid these design elements.

Even though, not required, the design of the project includes many of the elements listed in Section (D)(1)(b) suggested to mitigate long, flat surfaces

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 1
Resolution No. XX-2023 Page 11 of 13
and large areas of blank walls, including: (1) roof articulation on all four sides, creating numerous parapets; (2) a variety of surface textures and colors along with indentations and trellises to achieve visual relief; and (3) variation of window heights and sizes.
c. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (5)(D)(2) Materials and Finishes design guidelines for Non-Residential Uses
Evidence: The project has incorporated a variety of contrasting material and finishes to help break up large blank walls and to create a more office building appearance that is harmonious and in conformance with Section (5)(D)(2)(b).

The project includes 2nd story windows along the façade, accent color on all elevations, canopies at storefront main entrances and accent metal siding.

The variety of materials and finishes is proposed on all four elevations and creates a cohesive design throughout the building.
d. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (D)(3) Color-Selection design guidelines for non-residential uses.

Evidence: The project is a singular building that proposes a variety of gray tones on each façade and the roof with an accent blue color to break up large blank walls. The colors are consistent with other light industrial buildings already constructed in the area such as the Bureau of Automotive Repair and the existing Bold & Beauty building. The adjacent California Military Building is a State constructed building and was not required to obtain permits through the City of Rancho Cordova. The variety of tones combined with various architectural materials and features, including those discussed in the evidence for the sub-finding on Section (5)(D)(1) above, help to reduce the feeling of massiveness for the project. Colors have been updated and refined to be compatible with the neighboring area.
e. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (5)(D)(4) Detailing design guidelines for non-residential uses.

Evidence: The project has been designed on all four sides with consistent finishes, accent colors, and architectural details consistent with Section (5)(D)(4)(a). Changes were made during project hearings that improved the design of all four sides of the project, including landscaping, articulations and material variations and textures. The east and north elevations facing N.

Mather Blvd and Bear Hollow Drive provide roof variation between 1.5 feet and 3 feet throughout the façade while also incorporating 2nd story windows and storefront entrances with vertical second story windows throughout both frontages to create a more Business Professional appearance and maximizes the possibility of occupant surveillance of entryways, pathways, parking lots and bike paths. The south elevation also incorporates the variated roof line with 2nd story windows along with significant landscaping to minimize the appearance of the building from the adjacent bike trail. The west elevation, which consists of 29 loading dock doors, has included roof variation as well along with accent blue and charcoal colors and metal siding that are consistent with other facades of the building and creates and consistent design them throughout the project. The project does not provide walls at interior property lines or project phase lines as there is an existing wrought

iron fence between the project site and the California Military Headquarters.

The proposed wall along Bear Hollow utilized for screening does however provide a dark gray accent color as well as relief points at the top of the wall to create visual interest. In addition, the wall is setback significantly from the Bear Hollow which allowed for upgraded landscaping along the street front to minimize the visibility of the wall once landscaping is mature. These architectural elements help break up large blank facades and compliment other buildings in the area. The building has also been conditioned to include energy conservation features such as skylights, roofing capable of solar, and EV plug ins for employees as well as for trucks that may utilize refrigeration when loading and unloading.
f. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (D)(5) Roofs and Mechanical Equipment design guidelines for non-residential uses.

Evidence: The roofing materials provided for the project is a 45 MIL TPO vinyl flat roofing with parapet variation creating articulation to vary the shape of the roofline and avoid a flat, monotonous surface. A variety of colors and textures are provided throughout the building design. Pitched roofs were not considered because the project is not adjacent to residential uses.

F. Finding: Section 6: Site Conditions and Landscape Design a. Sub-Finding: The project adheres to Section (6)(B) Landscape Concept and Hierarchy of landscape scales guidelines.

Evidence: The landscaping of the project is comprised of a variety of tree, shrubs, and groundcover that will enhance the aesthetics of the site will also providing functional screening to the building and overall property. The site will have over 200 trees on-site. The trees provided are evergreen to provide greenery and screening year around. There is a total of thirty-six, 48-inch box trees placed strategically in areas that would require the most screening such as along public rights of way and the existing bike trail to the southwest of the site. Other proposed trees include twenty-eight, 36-inch box trees and onehundred forty-one, 24-inch box trees. These trees have been added in areas that are unable to accommodate a 48-inch box tree and areas that would increase the overall density of the landscaping to provide a thorough screening. The Applicant has worked with the City’s Arborist to determine the best species of trees as well as the most appropriate number of trees throughout the site that would result with the desired outcome while still maintaining the necessary growth spacing and separation. The proposed density of trees would be the maximum that the site would be able to accommodate with minimal overcrowding of canopies.

Approval of Major Design Review
The City Council, based upon the findings herein, hereby approves the Major Design Review for the Logisticenter of Rancho Cordova Project NO. PLND-1021-0015.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cordova on the 15th day of May 2023 by the following vote:

Environmental Noise Assessment
Logistic Center – Rancho Cordova, California

Introduction
The Logistic Center is located north of Mather Boulevard and west of Bear Hollow Drive in the City of Rancho Cordova, California. The project consists of the development of an industrial building (approximately 155,000 ft2) containing warehouse and office uses, and associated parking. The location of the project site with aerial imagery is shown in Figure 1. The project conceptual site plan is presented as Figure 2.

Due to the potential for elevated project-generated on-site operations noise levels at nearby residential uses, Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc. (BAC) was retained to prepare this noise assessment. Specifically, the purposes of this assessment are to quantify noise levels associated with project on-site industrial operations, to assess the state of compliance of those noise levels with applicable City of Rancho Cordova noise standards, and if necessary, to recommend measures to reduce those noise levels to acceptable limits.

Noise Fundamentals and Terminology
Noise is often described as unwanted sound. Sound is defined as any pressure variation in air that the human ear can detect. If the pressure variations occur frequently enough (at least 20 times per second), they can be heard, and thus are called sound. Measuring sound directly in terms of pressure would require a very large and awkward range of numbers. To avoid this, the decibel scale was devised. The decibel scale allows a million-fold increase in pressure to be expressed as 120 dB. Another useful aspect of the decibel scale is that changes in levels (dB) correspond closely to human perception of relative loudness. Appendix A contains definitions of Acoustical Terminology. Figure 3 shows common noise levels associated with various sources.

The perceived loudness of sounds is dependent upon many factors, including sound pressure level and frequency content. However, within the usual range of environmental noise levels, perception of loudness is relatively predictable, and can be approximated by weighing the frequency response of a sound level meter by means of the standardized A-weighing network.

There is a strong correlation between A-weighted sound levels (expressed as dBA) and community response to noise. For this reason, the A-weighted sound level has become the standard tool of environmental noise assessment. All noise levels reported in this section are in terms of A-weighted levels in decibels.

Community noise is commonly described in terms of the “ambient” noise level, which is defined as the all-encompassing noise level associated with a given noise environment. A common statistical tool to measure the ambient noise level is the average, or equivalent, sound level (Leq) over a given time period (usually one hour). The Leq is the foundation of the Day-Night Average Level noise descriptor, Ldn or DNL, and shows very good correlation with community response to noise.

Noise Levels Associated with Common Noise Sources
DNL is based upon the average noise level over a 24-hour day, with a +10-decibel weighting applied to noise occurring during nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) hours. The nighttime penalty is based upon the assumption that people react to nighttime noise exposures as though they were twice as loud as daytime exposures. Because DNL represents a 24-hour average, it tends to disguise short-term variations in the noise environment. DNL-based noise standards are commonly used to assess noise impacts associated with traffic, railroad, and aircraft noise sources.

Criteria for Acceptable Noise Exposure
Rancho Cordova General Plan
Policies N.1.1 through N.1.4 of the Rancho Cordova Noise Element specifically pertain to noise generated by non-transportation noise sources, such as those associated with project on-site operations. Those policies, and the corresponding actions which are applied to those policies, are provided below:

Policy N.1.1 Establish standards and policies consistent with those in Tables N-1 and N-2 to govern maximum sound levels in new development.

Action N.1.2.1 – Adopt a Noise Ordinance with noise level performance standards, including maximum allowable noise exposure, ambient versus nuisance noise, method of measuring noise, and enforcement procedures.

Policy N.1.2 Ensure that the indoor and outdoor areas of new projects will be located, constructed, and shielded from noise sources in compliance with the City’s noise standards to the maximum extent feasible.

Action N.1.2.1 – Require new development of noise-creating uses to conform with the City’s maximum noise levels.

Action N.1.2.2 – Require an acoustical analysis as part of the environmental review process when noise-sensitive land uses are proposed in areas where current or projected exterior noise levels exceed the City’s standards.

Action N.1.2.3 – Require any potential noise impacts identified during the acoustical analysis to be mitigated in the project design to the maximum extent feasible.

Policy N.1.3 Ensure that proposed non-residential land uses likely to exceed the City’s standards do not create noise disturbances in existing noise-sensitive areas.

Action N.1.3.1 - Require an acoustical analysis as part of the environmental review process when proposed non-residential land uses are likely to produce noise levels that exceed the City’s noise standards. The acoustical analysis must be prepared by a qualified person experienced in environmental noise assessment and architectural acoustics and must estimate existing and projected cumulative noise levels and compare those levels to the policies within this Element.

Action N.1.3.2 - Require any noise impacts identified in the acoustical analysis to be mitigated in conjunction with the project design.

Policy N.1.4 Mitigate noise created by proposed non-transportation noise sources to comply with the City’s noise standards to the maximum extent feasible.

Existing Ambient Noise Environment within the Project Vicinity The existing ambient noise environment within the project vicinity is defined primarily by traffic on N. Mather Boulevard, Bear Hollow Drive and Airpark Drive, and by aircraft operations associated with Mather Airport to the south. To generally quantify the existing ambient noise environment within the project vicinity, BAC conducted a long-term (48-hour) noise level survey from December 8-9, 2021. Photographs of the noise survey location are provided as Appendix B.

A Larson-Davis Laboratories (LDL) Model 820 precision integrating sound level meter was used to complete the noise level measurement survey. The meter was calibrated immediately before use with an LDL Model CAL200 acoustical calibrator to ensure the accuracy off the measurements. The equipment used meets all pertinent specifications of the American National Standards Institute for Type 1 sound level meters (ANSI S1.4).

The long-term ambient noise level survey results are summarized in Table 2. The detailed results of the ambient noise survey are contained in Appendix C in tabular format and graphically in Appendix D.

The BAC noise measurement site was selected to be representative of the ambient noise level environment at the nearest residential uses to the project area, located to the north along Airpark Drive. As indicated in Table 2, average measured noise levels (Leq) at the survey location exceeded Rancho Cordova General Plan daytime and nighttime noise level standards applicable to noise-sensitive uses.

Noise Impacts from Project-Generated On-Site Operations According to the provided site drawings (dated October 1, 2021), the project proposes the construction of an industrial building (approximately 155,000 ft2) containing warehouse and office uses with associated parking. The location of the proposed industrial building is shown in Figure

2. Noise generated by heavy trucks arriving and departing the site, backing into the loading docks, and coupling/decoupling, will be one of the primary noise sources associated with this project.

Once the heavy trucks are docked at the loading bays, they will be loaded and unloaded from within the building, so no outside loading/unloading activities would occur, and noise generated by such activities would be contained within the building. Another primary noise source associated with the project has been identified as mechanical equipment (HVAC). However, it is the experience of BAC in similar industrial projects that mechanical equipment would either be housed in an equipment room or located on the roof of the buildings and shielded by screen walls (parapets).

Noise generated by project-related activities were quantified through a combination of reference noise level measurements and application of accepted noise modeling techniques. Separate discussions of noise generated by on-site heavy truck circulation and trailer coupling/decoupling are provided in the following sections.

The Rancho Cordova General Plan daytime and nighttime performance standards of 55 and 45 dB Leq (respectively) were applied to project on-site operations noise generation and assessed at ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Resolution

the nearest existing residential uses. The nearest existing residential uses are represented by numeric values on Figure 1 – identified as Residential 1-3. For the purposes of this assessment, it was assumed that on-site operations would occur during both daytime and nighttime hours.

However, satisfaction of the General Plan’s nighttime noise level standard would ensure for compliance with the General Plan’s less restrictive daytime noise level limit. As a result, the following analyses focus on compliance with the General Plan’s nighttime noise level standard of 45 dB Leq at the nearest residential uses.

On-Site Heavy Truck Circulation
Based on a review of the site drawings, the heavy truck access point will be on the north end of the development off Bear Hollow Drive. The truck access point and on-site truck circulation route and are shown on Figure 2.

The project site plan indicates that the industrial building will have 27 truck loading docks. To assess project on-site truck circulation noise exposure relative to the General Plan’s hourly average (Leq) noise level descriptor, it is necessary to identify the number of truck movements occurring during a typical busy hour of operations. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that the project could have up to 50 on-site heavy truck trips during a worst-case busy hour (believed to be conservative).

Heavy truck arrivals and departures, and on-site truck circulation, will occur at low speeds. To quantify the noise generation of slow moving trucks, BAC utilized single-event passby noise test results for slow-moving heavy trucks conducted at the West El Camino truck stop in Sacramento, California. The passby measurements were conducted at a reference distance of 50 feet at a location suitable for isolation of individual passby events. During the truck passbys, Larson-Davis Laboratories Model 820 and 2900 sound level meters and frequency analyzers were used to quantify noise levels and event frequency content for each event. The results of the heavy truck measurements indicated that maximum noise levels ranged from 69 to 77 dB Lmax, with a mean of 74 dB Lmax. Truck passby levels measured in terms of Sound Exposure Levels (SEL) ranged from 77 to 85 dB, with a mean 83 dB. Based on the conservative estimate of 50 trips per hour, and an SEL of 83 dB per passby, the hourly average noise level generated by on-site heavy truck circulation computes to 64 dB Leq at a reference distance of 50 feet from the passby route.

Assuming standard sound wave spreading loss (-4.5 dB per doubling of distance from a moving point source), and a calculated reference noise level of 64 dB Leq at a distance of 50 feet, worstcase on-site heavy truck circulation noise exposure was predicted at the nearest existing residential uses. The results of those predictions relative to the City’s nighttime noise level standard are provided in Table 3.

It should be noted that existing solid noise barriers ranging from 6 to 7 feet-in-height are constructed along the property boundaries of the nearest existing residential uses. The locations of the existing noise barriers are illustrated on Figure 1. To account for the attenuation that would be provided by the existing noise barriers, the predicted noise levels in Table 3 have been conservatively reduced by 5 dB.

As indicated in Table 3, worst-case on-site truck circulation noise levels are predicted to satisfy the Rancho Cordova General Plan nighttime noise level standard of 45 dB Leq at the nearest residential uses. The predicted compliance includes consideration of shielding that would be provided by existing solid noise barriers at the locations illustrated on Figure 1. In addition, the predicted noise levels in Table 3 are below or within the range of measured ambient daytime and nighttime noise levels at the nearest residential uses to the project area (near Residential 1).

Based on the analysis and results provided above, no further consideration of noise mitigation measures would be warranted for this aspect of the project.

It should be noted that screening provided by existing and future intervening structures constructed on adjacent parcels to the north and east of the project would likely reduce projectgenerated on-site operations noise levels at the nearest existing residential uses (Residential 1- 3). However, without having finalized site plans indicating building location and orientation on those properties, the degree in which project operations noise levels would be attenuated is difficult to determine with a high level of accuracy. Nonetheless, excluding any consideration of shielding that may be provided existing or future structures on adjacent properties, the predicted noise levels in Table 3 would satisfy the applicable General Plan noise level criteria at the closest residential uses.

On-Site Heavy Truck Backing and Trailering Activities
Noise would be generated during brief periods by trucks backing into warehouse building loading docks and trailer parking areas during trailer coupling/decoupling activities (including backup beepers). It was assumed that heavy trucks would not be permitted to idle while on-site, and that refrigerator trucks (if applicable), would be plugged into loading bay power. The locations of the truck loading docks and trailer parking areas are shown on Figure 2.

To quantify the noise generated by truck backup warning devices and trailer coupling/decoupling activities, BAC conducted noise level measurements of a similar sized warehouse distribution facility in Patterson, California over a 48-hour period in August of 2015. The noise level results from the Patterson facility indicate that the measured average noise levels for the entire monitoring period were 54 dB Leq and 71 dB Lmax at a distance of 100 feet from the effective noise ITEM 11.1.

center of the truck backing, coupling and decoupling area. Based on the reference noise level data provided above, and assuming standard sound wave spreading loss (-4.5 dB per doubling of distance from a moving point source), truck backing and trailering noise associated with the loading docks and trailer parking areas was predicted at the nearest existing residential uses.

The results of those predictions relative to the City’s nighttime noise level standard are provided below in Table 4.

As mentioned previously, existing solid noise barriers ranging from 6 to 7-feet-in-height are constructed along the property boundaries of the nearest existing residential uses (illustrated on Figure 1). To account for the attenuation that would be provided by the existing noise barriers, the predicted noise levels in Table 4 have been conservatively reduced by 5 dB.

Further, the predicted noise levels in Table 4 are below the range of measured ambient daytime and nighttime noise levels at the nearest residential uses to the project area (near Residential 1). Based on the analysis and results provided above, no further consideration of noise mitigation measures would be warranted for this aspect of the project.

As discussed previously, the screening provided by existing and future intervening structures constructed on adjacent parcels to the north and east of the project would likely reduce projectgenerated on-site operations noise levels at the nearest existing residential uses (Residential 1- 3). Nonetheless, excluding any consideration of shielding that may be provided by those structures, the predicted noise levels in Table 4 would satisfy the applicable General Plan noise level criteria at the closest residential uses.

Conclusions
Based on the analysis and results presented in this report, noise levels associated with projectgenerated on-site operations at the proposed Logistic Center are predicted to satisfy the applicable Rancho Cordova General Plan noise criteria at the nearest existing residential uses.

The predicted compliance includes consideration of shielding that would be provided by existing solid noise barriers at the locations illustrated on Figure 1. In addition, predicted on-site operations noise levels are expected to be below or within the range of measured ambient daytime and nighttime noise levels at the nearest residential uses to the project area. As a result, no further consideration of noise mitigation measures would be warranted for the project.

It should be noted that screening provided by existing and future intervening structures constructed on adjacent parcels to the north and east of the project would likely reduce projectgenerated on-site operations noise levels at the nearest existing residential uses. However, without having finalized site plans indicating building location and orientation on those properties, the degree in which project operations noise levels would be attenuated is difficult to determine with a high level of accuracy. Nonetheless, excluding any consideration of shielding that may be provided existing or future structures on adjacent properties, the predicted on-site operations noise levels presented in this report would satisfy the applicable Rancho Cordova General Plan noise level criteria at the closest residential uses.

These conclusions are based on the operations assumptions cited herein, BAC file data, and the studied site design presented in Figure 2 (dated October 1, 2021). Deviations from the resources cited herein could cause noise levels to differ from those predicted in this assessment. It should be noted that, although noise levels associated with operations at the proposed industrial center are predicted to comply with applicable Rancho Cordova General Plan noise level limits at the nearest residential uses, it is ultimately up to the future individual businesses/tenants of the development to comply with said noise standards.

This concludes our environmental noise assessment for the Logistic Center in Rancho Cordova, California. Please contact BAC at (530) 537-2328 or [email protected] with comments or questions regarding this assessment.

Appendix A
Acoustical Terminology
Acoustics The science of sound.

Ambient Noise The distinctive acoustical characteristics of a given space consisting of all noise sources audible at that location. In many cases, the term ambient is used to describe an existing or pre-project condition such as the setting in an environmental noise study.

Attenuation The reduction of an acoustic signal.

A-Weighting A frequency-response adjustment of a sound level meter that conditions the output signal to approximate human response.

Decibel or dB Fundamental unit of sound. A Bell is defined as the logarithm of the ratio of the sound pressure squared over the reference pressure squared. A Decibel is one-tenth of a Bell.

CNEL Community Noise Equivalent Level. Defined as the 24-hour average noise level with noise occurring during evening hours (7 - 10 p.m.) weighted by a factor of three and nighttime hours weighted by a factor of 10 prior to averaging.

Frequency The measure of the rapidity of alterations of a periodic signal, expressed in cycles per second or hertz.

IIC Impact Insulation Class (IIC): A single-number representation of a floor/ceiling partition’s impact generated noise insulation performance. The field-measured version of this number is the FIIC.

Ldn Day/Night Average Sound Level. Similar to CNEL but with no evening weighting.

Leq Equivalent or energy-averaged sound level.

Lmax The highest root-mean-square (RMS) sound level measured over a given period of time.

Loudness A subjective term for the sensation of the magnitude of sound.

Masking The amount (or the process) by which the threshold of audibility is for one sound is raised by the presence of another (masking) sound.

Noise Unwanted sound.

Peak Noise The level corresponding to the highest (not RMS) sound pressure measured over a given period of time. This term is often confused with the “Maximum” level, which is the highest RMS level.

RT60 The time it takes reverberant sound to decay by 60 dB once the source has been removed.

STC Sound Transmission Class (STC): A single-number representation of a partition’s noise insulation performance. This number is based on laboratory-measured, 16-band (1/3- octave) transmission loss (TL) data of the subject partition. The field-measured version of this number is the FSTC.

RE: TRIP GENERATION ESTIMATE AND TRUCK / AUTOMOBILE CIRCULATION

ASSESSMENT FOR BEAR HOLLOW DRIVE BUSINESS/ PROFESSIONAL SITE,

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA
Dear Mr. Condon:

As requested, KD Anderson & Associates has completed this assessment of the probable trip generation associated with the uses on the Bear Hollow Drive Business/Professional (BP) site proposed in Rancho Cordova. The project involves construction of a 155,040 sf building in the BP (Business Park) zone at the intersection of Mather Blvd & Bear Hollow Drive. The building would be configured with 147,290 sf of warehouse space and 7,750 sf of supporting office space. The building would be accompanied by 27 truck loading docks, 32 trailer stalls and 98 automobile parking stalls.

Our work has involved review of the characteristics of the proposed project, consideration of potential trip generation rates presented in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11 th Edition, selection of applicable trip
generation rates and calculation of the project’s overall and truck trip generation forecasts. In turn, that information will be used by the City of Rancho Cordova to determine whether the potential traffic impacts associated with the project are inherently less than significant based on the number of trips generated or if subsequent analysis is needed to confirm a finding of no significant impact.

Our work also included identification of the most likely truck route to the site and quantification of the automobile trip distribution on the streets leading to the site.

Trip Generation Rates. The ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11 th Edition offers trip generation rates that
are appropriate for most land uses, and we reviewed this reference as well as other available published materials. As noted in Table 1, trip generation rates are available for a variety of uses that might occupy a BP site. In general, the rates are dependent on employee density and the extent of travel to and from the site throughout the day. The buildings used for industrial / warehouse uses typically contain a small area of office space used to support the business operation, and that activity is included in the overall trip generation rates. Each land use category was also supported by truck trip generation rates.

The nature of the occupants of the buildings is unknown. Trip generation rates are available for General Light Industrial Uses (Code 110), and these rates are presented in Table 1 below. Based on the project description, the site could also be developed with Warehouse uses, and the ITE rate for Warehousing (Code 150) has been identified. Finally, specialized warehousing has been a common type of development in the Rancho Cordova area, and ITE identifies High Cube Warehousing (Code 154) as follows:

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 2 Exhibit A to the Resolution

Mr. George Condon, Partner, West Region

A high-cube warehouse (HCW) is a building that typically has at least 200,000 gross square feet of floor area, has a ceiling height of 24 feet or more, and is used primarily for the storage and/or consolidation of manufactured goods (and to a lesser extent, raw materials) prior to their distribution to retail locations or other warehouses. A typical HCW has a high level of on-site automation and logistics management. The automation and logistics enable highlyefficient processing of goods through the HCW. The HCWs included in this land use include transload and short-term facilities. Transload facilities have a primary function of consolidation and distribution of pallet loads (or larger) for manufacturers, wholesalers, or retailers. They typically have little storage duration, high throughput, and are high-efficiency facilities. Short-term HCWs are high-efficiency distribution facilities often with custom/special features built into structure for movement of large volumes of freight with only short-term storage of products.

Trip Generation Forecast. The number of peak hour trips associated with the project has been estimated for each land use category, and the results are also presented in Table 1. As shown, as a “worst case”, applying the Light Industrial rate could generate 755 trips over the course of the day (i.e., ½ inbound and ½ outbound) and would suggest 115 trips in the weekday a.m. peak hour and 101 trips in the p.m. peak hour. Alternatively, warehouse space as envisioned in the site plan, would generate 265 daily trips and 26 trips in the a.m. peak hour and 28 p.m. peak hour trips. The forecast associated with High Cube warehousing is even lower (i.e., 217 daily trips with 12 a.m. peak hour and 16 p.m. peak hour trips).

Trip Generation Conclusions. The City of Rancho Cordova’s traffic study guidelines typically determine the need for additional traffic impact analysis based on consideration of a project’s overall trip generation estimate. Those projects generating fewer than 1,000 daily or 100 peak hour trips do not typically require traffic impact analysis. If the Bear Hollow Drive BP site is developed with “General Light Industrial” uses (i.e., “worst case”) then the project’s trip generation estimates fall above those thresholds in the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

Truck Traffic. Because the overall volume of traffic created by the project is low, a key issue may be the amount of truck traffic caused by the project and the routes followed by trucks traveling to and from the site. Table 2 presents estimates for the truck trips accompanying site development under the three alternative ITE land use trip generation categories. As indicated total daily truck trip generation (i.e., inbound and outbound total) ranges from 34 to 91 daily trips. The land use category generating the most total vehicle trips (i.e., warehouse) generates fewer truck trips..

Truck Routes. Most truck traffic to and from uses along the Zinfandel Drive corridor is oriented to and from US 50. While routes selected by automobile drives often reflect the shortest or most direct routes, truck drivers focus on routes that feature few stops that can most easily accommodate the turning requirements of large trucks. Those routes may not necessarily represent the shortest straight-line distance.

In this case, five possible routes have been identified in Table 3. Most truck traffic is expected to be oriented to the west on US 50, and in that direction routes using the Mather Field Road interchange, rather than the Zinfandel Drive interchange, are shorter, avoid most residential areas and have fewer stops. Based on this information, it is likely that truckers would choose Route 2, which avoids all residential areas for travel to the west.

Automobile Trip Distribution. The proposed project would add automobile trips to streets surrounding the project, primarily as a result of travel by commuting employees. The distribution of those trips would primarily reflect the location of residences within the greater Rancho Cordova – Sacramento County / Folsom area, as well as the travel time along alternative local routes that connect the site with the regional circulation network.

Table 4 presents preliminary assumptions relating to trip distribution as well as a tabulation of daily and peak hour trips on each facility.

RECOMMENDATION
There is no staff recommendation at this time.

Staff will be seeking additional direction from Council for this project. Staff requests that the Council receive additional testimony, potentially close the public hearing, ask any questions, deliberate, and provide staff sufficiently detailed direction to prepare documents for final action at the March 20, 2023, Council Meeting based upon Council direction.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The project was most recently presented on January 17, 2023, at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting. At the meeting, the applicant presented modifications to the landscape plan and elevations since the December 5, 2022, meeting, as well as provided updated visual renderings. Staff presented a list of additional requests made by the community that the applicant was agreeable to that could become conditions of approval for the project. Council requested the project be continued to the February 6, 2023, Council meeting. However, staff needed additional time to respond to legal letters and resident comments and continued the item until the March 6, 2023, meeting.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 8
As part of this package, staff will be providing a response to legal letters received by attorneys from both the Stone Creek residents and the applicant as well as updated responses to the previously created Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet for Logisticenter.

There have been no additional modifications to the project site plan, conditions of approval, or building design since the project’s most recent presentation on January 17, 2023.

Resident Frequently Asked Questions Updates
The application was originally submitted in October of 2021. Over the course of the Council deliberations on the project, both staff and City Council have received voluminous correspondence from the community with inquiries on the details of the project, the status of review, and the standards and regulations applicable, as well as correspondence voicing direct opposition to the project. Many of the questions presented by the community were similar or overlapped other questions that City staff have received from other community members.

Therefore, in an effort to provide a response to all community members that is consistent and available to everyone, staff created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet that addresses a majority of the common questions received. A similar FAQ sheet was included in the Council package when the item was taken to City Council on December 5, 2022.

Since the December 5, 2022, Council meeting, staff has updated the FAQ sheet to address new issues raised in correspondence from community members by direct email, through public comment at Council meetings, and through emails to Council Members forwarded to staff.

The FAQ sheet does not answer certain questions that require a final discretionary determination by the Council.

The topics that have been addressed within the revised FAQ sheet include:
• Particulate Matter Analysis
• Truck Parking on Public Rights-of-Way
• Environmental Questionnaire Requirements
• The Annual Review of the Development Agreement
The revised FAQ sheet is Attachment 3 to this staff report.

Additional Conditions of Approval
At the January 17, 2023, City Council meeting, staff presented a list of community requests and the Developer’s response to those requests, including:
• Limiting hours of operation
• Requiring a sound wall at the end of Debina Court
• No parking on N. Mather
• Additional clean energy building details and infrastructure on-site (e.g. skylights, EV charging, bike lockers, solar panels, LEED certification, etc.) The Applicant has reviewed these community requests and has agreed to a majority of them with the exception of obtaining LEED certification and truck parking on N. Mather, which has already received added signage by city staff to state “No Truck Parking.” As part of this project,

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 3 of 8
staff has generated draft conditions of approval to address these topics that would be added to the project’s final set of conditions if the project would be approved. These conditions have been drafted as shown below.

1. ONGOING – Truck movements into, out of, and around the truck court of the project site, shall be prohibited between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

2. PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENT PLANS – The project shall be required to pay its fair share of a new sound/screen wall at the end of Debina Court near the intersection of Zinfandel Drive and Baroque Drive, as well as any additional traffic calming measures required along Bear Hollow Drive.

3. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT – The project shall include skylights and a roof that is designed to carry solar panels. This information shall be shown on the submitted building permits.

4. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT – The project shall provide bicycle parking spaces on-site, in a combination of both short-term and long-term spaces.

5. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT – The project shall include EV charging infrastructure upon construction, and be EV ready as required by the California Building Code.

6. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUSINESS LICENSE – Should the building, or a portion of the building, be leased to a use that requires refrigerated trucks, electrical outlets shall be installed at each loading dock to minimize truck idling.

Again, these conditions would be included as part of the final conditions of approval, if the Council provides direction to prepare documents for approval.

Additional Conditions Requested by the Community
In addition to the community requests listed above that have been agreed to by the Applicant, the community has requested additional conditions of approval that were received on January 17, 2023, listed below. Staff’s initial feedback on these specific requests is also provided below.

1. No construction traffic on Bear Hollow north of entrance.

2. Limited construction traffic (construction phase) and truck traffic (operational stage) during Navigator school drop off and pick up times as well as peak traffic hours on Zinfandel to the Hwy 50 overpass (7:45 a.m.- 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.)

3. All light fixtures, both pole and building mounted have motion sensors installed.

4. The wall pack units that are to be installed on the east side of the building facing Bear Hollow Drive be replaced with pole lights to minimize glare into the Veranda neighborhood.

5. Establish a $200,000 fund to provide the highest quality air filters for neighbors in the Villages of Stone Creek.

6. As an alternative to active enforcement, put up cameras at key locations to catch truck route and parking violators paid by Developer(s) and fund for operations, maintenance.

Suggested camera locations would be N. Mather and Bear Hollow by school.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 4 of 8

7. Increase the height of sound walls all along Zinfandel for the residents whose homes back up to Zinfandel and will be impacted by the increase in truck noise. VOZSPA stated 6-8 feet walls, 6' were built. Increase to 8'.

In regards to the construction traffic items in 1 and 2 listed above, those could be addressed in a construction traffic management plan and could be a condition of approval if agreed to by the Applicant. However, regarding the request for a permanent hours limitation on truck operations during peak school traffic hours requested in items 1 and 2, the Applicant is unlikely to agree and the City could not presently require such a restriction without their agreement.

Staff would not support the additional lighting requests outlined in 3 and 4. The current lighting standards in the code require lighting to be shielded downward so that it does not create an offsite impact. Additionally, increasing the amount of light poles could create additional unwanted glare and brightness when the site is viewed from a distance. Requiring motion sensors on the lights could lead to constant flickering on and off when any motion is detected and would not adequately provide safe nighttime lighting on the site.

Items requested in 5 and 6 would be above and beyond what the City is permitted to impose as a condition on a design review. However, in the future the City Council could direct staff to look into methods to fund these additional requests through other means.

Lastly, staff would not be in support of raising the existing wall along Zinfandel to 8 feet. There is not a nexus to require the Applicant to increase the wall height by two feet. Further, this effort would require the removal of the existing wall, as it likely is not currently constructed to handle the additional weight load of two more feet of masonry material. Removal of this wall would also result in the removal of existing improvements along Zinfandel, including mature landscaping and on adjacent private property which could also include landscaping, accessory structures and/or pools.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review is exempt from CEQA review under CEQA State Guidelines section 15183. Projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior EIR, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior EIR are exempt from CEQA. The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA).

An EIR was certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 1998 for the VOZSPA.

Additionally, a Supplemental EIR was prepared and certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 2002 for the plan area.

The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review involves development of a 155,040 square foot industrial shell building with parking and loading docks. The development also includes landscaping, drainage, and required screening/fencing for a loading dock area. The business and professional park (BP) site was identified in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area EIR and uses contemplated within the BP designation include those uses listed in the Sacramento County Zoning Code under the BP and MP (Industrial Office Park) use tables located in Chapter 25 and Chapter 30. Warehousing is a permitted by right uses as listed in Table IV I.3.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 5 of 8
Additional supplemental technical studies were prepared to further support that no additional project related impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. These technical studies include additional traffic analysis, as well as a noise study. The traffic analysis results were summarized under the Traffic Improvements section of the December 5, 2022, staff report. The noise study that was completed concluded that noise levels associated with the project generated on-site operations would satisfy the General Plan noise criteria at the nearest existing residential uses. This is due in part to existing solid noise barriers in the vicinity, as well as overall on-site operational practices.

As this Major Design Review is consistent with the Special Planning Area and the environmental documentation prepared for the Special Planning Area, it is exempt from CEQA review. So long as the project does not have any project-specific significant effects peculiar to the Major Design Review and not identified in the previous environmental documentation, the project is exempt and no additional environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required.

The project applicant is requesting approval of a Major Design Review for the proposed project.

Additionally, under CEQA, the City lacks the discretion under the Major Design Review approval process to consider environmental effects not related to the design of the project, including, but not limited to human health impacts from toxic air contaminants, greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts of biological resources.

Analysis of Major Legal Issues
Members of the Stone Creek community and the Applicant have retained legal counsel that are actively engaged in letter writing and advocacy regarding the project. The major legal questions raised by the legal counsel are:

Is the 2003 Development Agreement valid and enforceable? Is the project exempt from further project-specific legal review? On behalf of members of the Stone Creek Community, Counsel Gloria Smith argues that the answers to these two questions are “no” (Attachments 4, 5, and 6) and urges the City Council not to approve the project as proposed. On behalf of Dermody, Arthur Coon responds that the answers to these questions are “yes” and asserts that the City must approve the project, substantially in its current form, or be in default of the Development Agreement (Attachments 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13).

While there are various other legal issues that have been raised by the attorneys and members of the public, these are the central legal and procedural questions.

Given the unusual level of public controversy and the high stakes on both sides of the project, the City has taken the additional step of supplementing the considerable land use and CEQA experience of the City Attorney’s law firm, with an independent legal assessment of these issues by another respected law firm, Hanson Bridgett (Attachment 14).

As summarized in their letter, Hanson Bridgett has a mix of public agency and private entity experience. They are well-versed in land use transactional work, CEQA, and warehouse development, and have assembled a highly-qualified group of attorneys to consider these issues. Hanson Bridgett has never represented the Developer, and has not previously worked

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 6 of 8
with the City, the City Attorney, or the City Manager. Hanson Bridgett’s conclusions are in Attachment 14.

Having carefully evaluated and weighed the arguments and analysis on these two issues by the legal counsel for members of the Stone Creek community and the Applicant, and performed additional analysis, Hanson Bridgett and the City Attorney’s firm have reached the same legal answers to these two critical issues. The City’s law firms are of the opinion that the answer to both questions is yes.

The Development Agreement is Valid and Enforceable
The County and Dermody Properties’ predecessor in interest entered into the Development Agreement on May 28, 2003. The City’s incorporation had been approved shortly before, in the November 2002 election. As Hanson Bridgett explains, the LAFCO resolution approving the incorporation stated in part that “[a]ny and all development agreements entered into between the County of Sacramento and any development project applicant . . . shall remain valid and enforceable between the applicant and the new City of Rancho Cordova, subject to Government Code Section 65865.3, subdivisions (a) and (b).”1
Hanson Bridgett and the City Attorney’s firm interpret this provision of the LAFCO resolution as having the effect of making all prior development agreements entered into by the County initially binding on Rancho Cordova, including the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement. After incorporation the City took multiple actions on the Development Agreement, which were valid actions, amending an existing and enforceable development agreement (see Attachment 14 page 3). If the City did not want to accept and be bound by the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement, it could have taken action to object to or sue on the terms of the LAFCO resolution. It did not.

Instead, the City has had a twenty-year history of actions in furtherance of the Villages of Zinfandel Development Agreement. These actions2 show that the City believed that the Development Agreement was valid and binding.3 These actions were not challenged within the statutes of limitations that apply to development agreement amendments. 1 Government Code section 65865.3 provides, in part, that a city will be bound by a development agreement after its incorporation if: (1) the application for the agreement was submitted to the county prior to the date that the first signature was affixed to a petition for incorporation or annexation, or the adoption of a resolution; (2) the county entered into the agreement prior to the date of the election for incorporation or annexation, or if there was an annexation without an election, prior to the date the applicable authority ordered the annexation; and (3) the annexation proposal was initiated by the city. (Gov. Code, § 65865.3, subd. (c)(1)-(3).) 2 Including significantly Ordinance No. 38-2004 amending the Development Agreement, and including the following language in Section G. “Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect.”, Ordinance No. 25-2009, amending the Development Agreement and including the following language in Section D. “Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect.” and Ordinance No. 6-2016, amending the Development Agreement a third time, including the following language in Section E. “Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Development Agreement remain in full force and effect.”
3 As Hanson Bridgett notes, the most recent amendment extended the term of the Development Agreement to June 2023.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 4
City Council Staff Report – Page 7 of 8
Hanson Bridgett and the City Attorney’s firm agree that the durational limitations in Government Code section 65865.3 are not applicable because the Development Agreement was approved after the incorporation election.

In short, Hanson Bridgett and the City Attorney’s firm are both of the opinion that the Development Agreement is valid and enforceable.

The Project is Exempt from Further CEQA Review
Public Resources Code section 21083.3 established a procedure for streamlined CEQA review for projects that are consistent with development densities established by an existing community plan for which an EIR was previously certified (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.3, subd. (a); see also Guidelines, § 15183). As discussed above, in these instances, CEQA review “shall be limited to effects upon the environment which are peculiar to the parcel or to the project and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior environmental impact report, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior environmental impact report” (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.3, subd. (a).).

As noted above, the project is located in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA). An EIR for this area was certified by the County in 1998. A Supplemental EIR was certified by the County in 2002.

As explained by Hanson Bridgett (Attachment 14) and as explained above by the City (see also, Attachment 1 December 5, 2022, and Attachment 2 January 17, 2023, staff reports), the project is consistent with development densities in the VOZSPA. Hanson Bridgett also concluded that no technical studies have identified any project-specific environmental effects not analyzed in the VOZSPA EIR. Neither Hanson Bridgett, the City Attorney, nor City staff have identified any other project-specific factors that would require further environmental review under Section 21083.3 and Guideline Section 15183.

Further, consistent with the City’s above analysis, Hanson Bridgett noted that the project design is not anticipated to implicate any new environmental effects, and the scope of any CEQA review and analysis is limited to environmental effects within the scope of the City’s design review authority.

The City Attorney’s firm agrees with Hanson Bridgett that the project is accordingly exempt from further CEQA review. The City cannot require additional CEQA review.

NEXT STEPS
Upon conclusion of the presentation and public testimony, City Council could do one of the following:

1. Direct staff to return at a later City Council meeting with final action documents.

2. Direct the Applicant to make additional modifications to the proposed project.

RECOMMENDATION
There is no Staff recommendation at this time.

On April 3, 2023 City Council made a motion and directed Staff to bring back the Logisticenter project for reconsideration of their March 6, 2023 motion directing staff to prepare a Resolution with findings for denial. Staff will be seeking additional direction from Council regarding the reconsideration, including a decision on the requested motion to reconsider. If the motion to reconsider is approved by the City Council, additional direction on the Project could be made, including possible direction to Staff prepare a Resolution with findings of approval for consideration at the May 15, 2023 Council meeting. Staff also requests direction on a March 20, 2023 demand to cure or correct under government Code 54960.1.

Staff requests that the Council receive additional testimony, potentially close the public hearing, ask any questions, deliberate, and provide staff sufficiently detailed direction to prepare documents for final action at the May 15, 2023 Council Meeting based upon Council’s direction.

FISCAL IMPACT OF POTENTIAL LITIGATION
The impact of potential litigation and an adverse judgement against the City in the magnitude of $100 million from threatened Stone Creek warehouse litigation would significantly alter the City’s financial position and future opportunities for the next 10-20 years. In the near term, the cost of litigation is estimated to be up to $2 million annually. Funding litigation costs of this

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 5
City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 14
magnitude will hinder the City’s ability to grow and expand services to the community in next two-year budget, currently under development.

In order for the City to be able to pay judgements in the range of $100 million, a significant portion of the City’s General Fund budget would have to be redirected to the payment of this obligation over a ten to twenty year period. The magnitude of such payments could exceed $10 million annually depending on payment duration and potential interest costs. This level of General Fund commitment would significantly impact the City’s ability to not only expand, but maintain basic services including:

• Police services, including increasing patrol to meet community growth needs or maintaining the status quo with cost increases
• Technology enhancements for virtual city services resulting in better access and transparency
• Sustaining current levels of service that ensure health and life safety in the community including building services, code enforcement, and animal services • Public Works maintenance efforts, such as street, sidewalk and pothole repair, resulting in potential failing infrastructure
• Maintaining overall staffing levels to meet current service level needs, resulting in reduced service levels
Further, the City’s ability to deliver projects approved or envisioned by the City Council would be severly impacted by the potential cost of litigation and adverse judgement. Specifically, the city would need to prioritize available resources to active projects such as the Mills Crossing Civic Center, which could be delayed by this fiscal impact, slowing revitalization of Folsom Blvd. The city would also be immediately be unable to fund current, historically high priority, projects and requests:
• Rancho Cordova Parkway Interchange and Infrastructure, which will construct a new interchange at U.S. Highway 50 and a connection to White Rock Road to provide access to Anatolia, Rio Del Oro, Westborough, and provide traffic relief to Sunrise Blvd. No flexibility or bonding capacity (including rating impacts) available to expedite the new interchange or other major street projects, creating increasingly worse traffic on Sunrise Boulevard and other main artierial roads.
• Rancho Cordova Little League, the proposed project would overhaul and expand the City’s existing little league complex at Ahlstrom Park with the ability to include a Junior Field co-located at Ahlstrom Park. The potential fiscal impact will limit the amount of funding available and timing of delivery of this $18+ million project. • Mine Shaft Proposal, which is the proposed expansion of this community-focused facility, losing a new community amenity that could provide event and performance space that is not currently available in Rancho Cordova. • Rise Up Theater Company, a proposed capital and operating investment to construct a 99 seat live theatre by a grassroots theatre company in Rancho Cordova that would provide the community access to ongoing live theatre.
• Jobs & Talent Program (CHIPs Act), funding that would attract new corporate investment and take advantage of Solidigm and other companies using CHIPs Act funding resulting in less high wage jobs in Rancho Cordova.

The city would also be unable to move forward with potential short-term community investment projects (3-5 Years), including:

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 5
City Council Staff Report – Page 3 of 14
• The MACC, Phase II, which would include facility improvements to expand the art/culture opportunities in Rancho Cordova.
• Youth Center, Phase II, would build capacity on property adjacent to current Youth Center to provide additional activities and serve more youth in the community. • Food Locker project, which would assist in the relocation and expansion of the Food Locker, limiting the number of residents that can be served who need food. • Sacramento Children’s Museum Improvements which include facility modifications to enhance the existing facility and expand programming.
• Veterans’ Hall/Museum/Resource Center at the former Mather Air Force base, which would build a new facility to serve the Veteran community. • New City Library, which would not have any local funding available to expedite the construction of a new library in Rancho Cordova.

The city would not have the financial capacity to pursue or support opportunity projects, such as:
• Hospital
• Entertainment Center/District
• Indoor Track Facility
• Professional Sports Team
• Data Center Acquisition
• New Children’s Museum

BROWN ACT CURE
During the direction on the Project on March 6, 2023 the Mayor clarified that the effect was to provide Staff direction to prepare findings of denial for consideration at a future City Council meeting, not to take any final action on the Project. The City received an email on March 20, 2023 claiming that this violated the Brown Act. The City believes that there was no Brown Act violation. Without any admission, this agenda item, including the scheduled motion to reconsider would correct and cure the alleged violation consistent with the Brown Act and the email of March 20, 2023. The City Attorney will provide additional assistance on this matter immediately following the reconsideration.

MAJOR DESIGN REVIEW
Project Description
The Applicant submitted an application on October 25, 2021, for a 155,040 square foot shell building called Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova which includes a loading dock area, commercial parking, and additional site improvements located at the intersection of Bear Hollow Drive and N. Mather Boulevard. The project site is zoned Business and Professional Office (BP) within the Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA) and is surrounded by other office and industrial zones as shown in Figure 1 and listed in Table 1 below.

General Plan Consistency
The project site is located within the Office Mixed Use (OMU) designation of the City’s General Plan. The General Plan compares the OMU designation to zoning designations such as Office Professional Mixed Use (OPMU) and Office Industrial Mixed Use (OIMU) within the City’s Municipal Code. The proposed shell industrial building would be consistent with structures and uses allowed within the OIMU and compatible with future buildings within the same General Plan designation.

Zoning Consistency
The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA) and is zoned Business and Professional Office (BP) which is consistent with the above OMU General

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 5
City Council Staff Report – Page 5 of 14
Plan designation. The BP zone refers to the allowable uses and standards provided within the commercial land use table within the Sacramento County Zoning Code and includes uses allowed within the BP designation as well as the MP land use designation. The proposed project has been submitted as a shell industrial building and therefore has been considered to be “wholesaling and warehousing” at this time which is allowed by right at this location. Future tenants outside of wholesaling and warehousing will require additional review to determine if the use is allowable by right or if an additional use permit is required.

Site Design
The proposed project includes a 155,040 square foot building oriented with frontage along N.

Mather Boulevard and side frontage along Bear Hollow Drive. This orientation allows for a significant landscape buffer along N. Mather and at the intersection of the two public right of ways. This orientation also minimizes the visibility of the loading dock area for vehicles traveling on N. Mather Boulevard, which is an elevated path of travel, as it places the dock area and commercial vehicle parking behind the building out of the public right of ways line of site (See Figure 2).

Figure 2: Proposed Site Plan
The site provides a total of 3 access points to the property, one along N. Mather and two along Bear Hollow, and provides a total of 98 standard parking spaces along the front entrance which is adequate for 155,040 square feet of warehouse use within this zoning designation (0.5 spaces / 1,000 SF). The site also provides 32 commercial vehicle spaces in the rear of the building within the loading dock area. The main truck route will be through the Bear Hollow

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 5
City Council Staff Report – Page 6 of 14
entrance to the north which also includes a 12-foot screening wall and gate that will be closed outside of business hours.

Building Design
The project proposes a flat roof concrete building built at a 40-foot maximum height. The design includes two main entrances with tower features and storefront facades, highlighted by additional second story glass windows, canopies and variation in color and materials. The front and side elevations also provide an accent gray color with highlights of blue and windows to help create visual interest along such a large expansive façade. The rear elevation is less visible from the public right of way as it includes the loading dock area complete with 29 roll up doors, however this façade continues to provide an accent gray color as well as additional highlights of blue (See Figure 3 to Figure 6 for building elevations). All elevations provide parapet variations ranging from 40 feet to 37 feet through the façade to relieve the façade of long linear rooflines and the help break up large blank walls.

Figure 3: Propose Building Elevations
The applicant has provided elevations and renderings that portray the design elevations that are detailed in the above section as well as a detailed image of the proposed landscaping at time of installation and 6-10 years from now. These renderings can be seen in Figures 4-6 below.

Site Landscaping
The project already includes a 12-foot screen wall at this location, however, rather than increase the height of the wall even higher and creating additional massing, the project proposed a more natural landscape screening of trees and shrubs that would minimize visibility of the truck area in the rear at approximately 10 years in the future. Concerns were raised in regard to the size of the landscaping and the time that would be required for the landscaping to complete its intended purpose of screening the loading dock area and commercial truck parking area at the north end of the property. To prioritize the screening effect of the landscaping and ensure the screening takes place as soon as possible, the Applicant has modified the proposed species of the trees and has also increased the initial proposed sizes of the trees and density of the plantings to speed up the screening ability of the landscaping. See Figure 7 for tree sizing and location and Figure 8 for colored landscape plan.

The Applicant has worked with the City’s Arborist to determine the best species of trees as well as the most appropriate number of trees throughout the site that would result with the desired outcome while still maintaining the necessary growth spacing and separation.

There is a total of thirty-six, 48-inch box trees placed strategically in areas that would require the most screening such as along public rights of way and the existing bike trail to the southwest of the site. Other proposed trees include twenty-eight, 36-inch box trees and one-hundred fortyone, 24-inch box trees. These trees have been added in areas that are unable to accommodate a 48-inch box tree and areas that would increase the overall density of the landscaping to provide a thorough screening. In speaking with the City Arborist, the proposed density of trees shown in Figure 7 would be the maximum that the site would be able to accommodate with minimal overcrowding of canopies. Overcrowding can lead to several future concerns that could hinder the performance of the tree. The City’s Arborist has listed a few of those potential issues below.
• Trees planted too close together can result in narrow misshapen canopies with weak branching and poorly tapered trunks as the trees are not receiving enough sunlight.

Long-term survival is much less likely for weakened trees • There is more competition for available water and nutrients and many of the trees are likely to grow slower and possibly fail to thrive.
• Overcrowded trees are more prone to pests and diseases. Poor air circulation from crowded canopies favors fungal diseases such as powdery mildew. Aphid and mite infestations are also common in crowded conditions. The 23 proposed London Plane trees are very susceptible to all of these pests and diseases. During the building permit process, staff will work with the landscape architect to replace London Plane tree with a comparable tree less susceptible to pests and disease.

The diagram shown in Figure 7 portrays the largest possible trees on-site as well as the largest number of trees possible (a total of 205, most of which are evergreen) without overcrowding the site. The Applicant has also provided updated renderings showing what the proposed landscaping would look like at installation as well as 10 years into the future (See Figures 4 through 6)
Traffic Improvements
Trip generation for this site is estimated by KD Anderson & Associates to be 217 to 755 trips per day depending on the ultimate use of the site. Peak hours are estimated to be up to 115 trips in the morning hour and 101 trips in the afternoon hour. Of the daily trips, it is estimated that 34 to 93 will be trucks.

The site is conditioned and designed to direct truck trips to US-50 via two routes:
• North Mather to Zinfandel Drive then US-50.
• North Mather to Mather, Femoyer, International, Mather Field Road then US-50.

In their existing state, traffic on these routes is generally free flowing except during peak hours in the vicinity of interchanges (approaching freeway 50 north of White Rock on Zinfandel, and north of Rockingham on Mather Field). Congestion in the vicinity of urban interchanges is common in the region and state.

ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 5
City Council Staff Report – Page 12 of 14
Light industrial uses generate less trips than office/residential/retail use and their trips are spread throughout the day (trip generation from light industrial is about 50% of that generated by office). Therefore, warehouse/light industrial uses contribute less to congestion than other uses. Additional traffic from the proposed project is not projected to significantly change the level of service on these roads in the short or long term. And the estimated trip generations are consistent with assumptions of the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area.

Truck traffic results in greater wear on roads compared to passenger vehicle traffic. The project is conditioned to annex into the City’s community facilities district for street and lighting maintenance, including a load factor to account for truck trips. The estimated tax for fair-share street and lighting maintenance at this site is approximately $10,500 per year.

Design elements incorporated into the project include an angled driveway that directs trucks south on Bear Hollow directly to North Mather. And the project is conditioned to construct bulbouts at the intersection of Bear Hollow with Air Park, Robola and Auvernat. The proposed bulbouts will narrow the road resulting in further deterrent to trucks driving this corridor, reduced speeds for all vehicles, and greater protection for pedestrians.

In addition to the site-specific analysis, staff analyzed the assumptions of the 2002 environmental impact report relative to current traffic models and development that has occurred through 2022. Staff findings are that the actual development being realized for existing, proposed, and planned developments in the SPA is lower than what was identified in 2002 planning documents. Roadways were planned and built to accommodate traffic based on the projections in 2002. With the lower regional, area, and project specific trip generations, it is expected that there will be sufficient roadway capacity. The interchanges with US 50 have existing peak hour congestion which is expected to continue into the future. These changes in realized development are lessening the expected future deficiencies at interchanges relative to projections in the 2002 environmental impact report.

General Plan Consistency
The project site is located within the Office Mixed Use (OMU) designation of the City’s General Plan. The General Plan compares the OMU designation to zoning designations such as Office Professional Mixed Use (OPMU) and Office Industrial Mixed Use (OIMU) within the City’s Municipal Code. The proposed shell industrial building would be consistent with structures and uses allowed within the OIMU and compatible with future buildings within the same General Plan designation.

Zoning Consistency
The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA) and is zoned Business and Professional Office (BP) which is consistent with the above OMU General Plan designation. The BP zone refers to the allowable uses and standards provided within the commercial land use table within the Sacramento County Zoning Code and includes uses allowed within the BP designation as well as the MP land use designation. The proposed project has been submitted as a shell industrial building and therefore has been considered to be “wholesaling and warehousing” at this time which is allowed by right at this location. Future tenants outside of wholesaling and warehousing will require additional review to determine if the use is allowable by right or if an additional use permit is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review is exempt from CEQA review under CEQA State Guidelines Section 15183. This exempts from CEQA projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior EIR, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior EIR.

The project is located within the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area (VOZSPA). An EIR was certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 1998 for the VOZSPA.

Additionally, a Supplemental EIR was prepared and certified by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 2002 for the plan area.

The Logisticenter at Rancho Cordova Major Design Review involves development of a 155,040 square foot industrial shell building with parking and loading docks. The development also includes landscaping, drainage, and required screening/fencing for a loading dock area. The business and professional park (BP) site was identified in the Villages of Zinfandel Special Planning Area EIR and uses contemplated within the BP designation include those uses listed in the Sacramento County Zoning Code under the BP and MP (Industrial Office Park) use tables located in Chapter 25 and Chapter 30. Warehousing is a permitted by right use as listed in Table IV I.3.

Additional supplemental technical studies were prepared to further support that no additional project related impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. These technical studies include additional traffic analysis, as well as a noise study. The traffic analysis results were summarized under the Traffic Improvements section of the December 5, 2022 staff report. The noise study that was completed concluded that noise levels associated with the project generated on-site operations would satisfy the General Plan noise criteria at the nearest existing residential uses. This is due in part to existing solid noise barriers in the vicinity, as well as overall on-site operational practices.

As this Major Design Review is consistent with the Special Planning Area and the environmental documentation prepared for the Special Planning Area, it is exempt from CEQA review. So long as the project does not have any project-specific significant effects peculiar to the Major Design Review and not identified in the previous environmental documentation, the project is exempt and no additional environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required.

The project applicant is requesting approval of a Major Design Review for the proposed project.

Additionally, under CEQA, the City lacks the discretion under the Major Design Review approval process to consider environmental effects not related to the design of the Project, including, but not limited to human health impacts from toxic air contaminants, greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts of biological resources.

RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Upon conclusion of the presentation and public testimony, City Council could do one of the following:

1. Motion to reconsider March 6, 2023 direction and alleged action.

2. Direct staff to return at a later City Council meeting with final action documents.
