Established by Ordinance No. 1436 in 1971, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City operated as a separate legal entity from the City under the Community Redevelopment Law with the intent of revitalizing the City's downtown core and surrounding residential and industrial neighborhoods by eliminating conditions of blight and their influences, encouraging reinvestment by property owners, and inviting new investment from outside sources.
CC_RFA_September 17, 2024
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

In June 2011, amid significant state budget woes, the Governor signed new legislation, which amended the Community Redevelopment Law to immediately suspend most redevelopment agency activities and provided for the transfer the assets to successor agencies whose role was to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies. On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled that AB 1X26 was enforceable, effectively eliminating redevelopment statewide as of February 1, 2012.
Acting as the Successor Agency, the City took on the responsibility of winding down its affairs and undertaking the administrative tasks required for the dissolution process. On June 10, 2024, the Countywide Oversight Board approved a resolution to formally dissolve the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands, and on July 2, 2024, the state Department of Finance acknowledged the end of the Agency's existence.
As public comment, Steve Rogers raised questions about one of the original RDA properties located near the rail line and the University of Redlands (U of R). This property was granted to the U of R in 2020 in connection to the SBCTA's train project. He added this property was an eyesore, filled with weeds and debris. Council Member Saucedo pointed to several positive outcomes of the RDA, as well as the efforts of the Northside Visioning Committee, to provide property owners with home improvement funds.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Barich, seconded by Mayor Eddie Tejeda, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, to receive and file the Final Dissolution of the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands.

City Branding Concept and Design
Economic Development Coordinator Ross Wittman offered details of the City's desire to create a new branding concept and design and explained that in November 2023, the Council approved a contract with Pastilla, Inc. to develop a new brand identity for the city. The goal was to create an effective and professional brand, giving Redlands a strong and easily identifiable presence in media, marketing, and economic development endeavors. He introduced Rudy Manning and Tyron Akal, of Pastilla, who presented an extensive report of their efforts, intended to embody Redlands' unique characteristics, strengths, and identity and to clearly identify and differentiate Redlands and its assets, culture, environment, and location within Southern California and California as a whole.
The project began by conducting an in-depth discovery process, utilizing multiple research methods to gain perspective from key audiences in the community. The methods included discovery workshops, 1-on-1 interviews, focus groups, internal and external digital surveys.
Key Findings were identified as 1) Redlands is a well-established community; 2) Visitors are unaware of the city and are pleasantly surprised by their Redlands experience; 3) There is a huge presence of non-profit organizations, indicating Redlands' altruistic nature; 4) There is a lively arts scene that is free and open to the public; 5) The perception of the current brand is largely neutral to negative. And the perception of the current slogan, "City That Works" is extremely negative.
The branding strategy phase allowed for the development of a positioning statement, represented by, "Redlands is a city inspired by its history, passionately forging a tomorrow through service to the community and creativity for all". This statement promoted brand values of "embracing, serving and proactive", and led to the proposed new tagline: Redlands. Futures Flourish Here. The Brand's Visual Tone and Visual Identity were presented with an unveiling with the proposed color palette and logos.
Council Members offered their initial perspectives, agreeing they liked the color palette selection.
Mayor Pro Tem Barich recommended a different tagline as represented by, "City Like No Other".
Council Member Guzman-Lowery said there appeared to be potential to add to the design and this was an important aspect, so that each department could develop their own unique style, but also include a level of cohesion.
As public comment, Dennis Bell said the number of survey respondents (458) was simply not representative of the City's roughly 73,000 residents. Dan Jimenez struggled to see the "4 Rs" in the logo and encouraged the Council to take their time before making a decision. Michael Paisner also did not see the "4 Rs", adding the tagline did not resonate with him. Andy Hoder thought the branding was pretentious and should be denied approval, and he stated that most people don't care about branding.
Council Members agreed they would like more time to consider the proposed design and directed Pastilla to continue refining and improving the current concepts.

SBC Cooperative Agreement Paving Rehabilitation
Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris summarized a Cooperative Agreement with San Bernardino County delineating responsibilities for paving rehabilitation. The PARIS Program will rehabilitate approximately twenty-eight lane miles of public streets, which includes a portion of Lugonia Avenue (north half) and California Street (east half) within the San Bernardino County (County) jurisdiction. MUED staff collaborated with County staff to develop a Cooperative Agreement to ensure the full width of each street segment is rehabilitated, in lieu of only rehabilitating the portions of each street within the City's jurisdiction. Approximately 1.5 lane miles of the County's streets will be resurfaced with the City's project.
As public comment, Steve Rogers was pleased to see the cooperative efforts between the City and County, yet he voiced concerns about seeing social media posts claiming young people were accosting shoppers at the County shopping centers of Citrus Grove and Mountain View. He wondered if a curfew could be established. City Manager Duggan responded by explaining that curfews had been discussed in the past, but because the properties do not fall within city boundaries, the County would be the appropriate agency to enact such an ordinance.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Barich, seconded by Council Member Mario Saucedo, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the Cooperative Agreement with San Bernardino County delineating responsibilities for pavement rehabilitation is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the Cooperative Agreement with San Bernardino County delineating responsibilities for pavement rehabilitation.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Victorville for the loan of a Fire Tiller Truck to Victorville Fire Department (Fire Chief Sessler)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for the loan of a Fire Tiller Truck.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Redlands and the City of Victorville for the loan of a Fire Tiller Truck for Victorville Fire Department.
DISCUSSION:
On March 5, 2024, the Redlands City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Victorville Fire Department to loan a Fire Tiller Truck for personnel training. The Redlands Fire Department had agreed to lend their available tiller truck to Victorville for this training. Since then, the Victorville Fire Department has also asked to use the Tiller Truck for emergency responses, in addition to its original training purpose.
Effective communication and collaboration are crucial for a successful and mutually beneficial arrangement. The First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding aims to facilitate the sharing of equipment for both training and emergency response by defining clear terms and conditions. This includes outlining responsibilities for usage, maintenance, insurance, and liability throughout the loan period.

1. Authorize an additional appropriation for the payment amounts from each Settling Defendant.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the acceptance of National Opioid Settlement Funds from the five Settling Defendants including Allergan, CVS, Teva, Walgreens, and Walmart in the aggregate amount of $192,720.22, for a Substance Use Navigator position in the Fire Department to help improve treatment and access to medication for Opioid Use Disorder in the community, and authorize an additional appropriation for the same.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
39 of 932
DISCUSSION:
The opioid crisis has prompted extensive litigation across the U.S., including significant cases in California. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed by various states, counties, cities, and tribes seeking compensation for the damages caused by the opioid epidemic. Almost 80 California counties and cities, including San Bernardino County, have been involved in these legal actions. The lawsuits primarily target opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies, alleging that their actions contributed to the crisis.
In 2021, major settlements were reached with the three largest pharmaceutical distributors—McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen—and the manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals and its parent company, Johnson & Johnson. The City Council of Redlands approved its participation in these settlements and agreed to reallocate its share of the proceeds to San Bernardino County for county-wide opioid remediation programs.
Later, in 2022, additional settlements were reached with other responsible entities contributing to the opoid crisis, including Allergan, CVS, Teva, Walgreens, and Walmart. The total maximum payout agreed upon by all the Settling Defendants exceeds $20 billion, with the payments distributed over a period ranging from 3 to 15 years, depending on the specific terms negotiated with each defendant. Similar to the settlements reached in 2021, these settlements offered local subdivisions, such as cities, an opportunity to participate and receive funds by agreeing to release the defendants from further claims. In April 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 8460 to authorize the City of Redlands to participate in the national settlements with the Settling Defendants.
Funds from the California Opioid Settlements are intended to support opioid remediation activities. As defined in the National Opioid Settlement Agreements, opioid remediation is the “care, treatment, and other programs and expenditures designed to (1) address the misuse and abuse of opioid products, (2) treat or mitigate opioid use or related disorders, or (3) mitigate other alleged effects of, including on those injured as a result of, the opioid crisis.” In line with these guidelines, the settlement funds allocated to the City will be used to hire a Substance Use Navigator within the Fire Department to tackle the opioid crisis in our community.
The first round of payments from the settlement agreements were received as of August 2024 as listed below:
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
40 of 932
Pharmaceutical Company Amount
Allergan $23,030.50
CVS $23,905.03
TEVA $20,973.58
Walgreens $26,098.59
Walmart $98,682.52
TOTAL $192,720.22
The City anticipates receiving additional rounds of payment over the next 3 to 15 years (for a total of $718,305). As mentioned, the settlement funding will be allocated to hire a Substance Use Navigator (SUN) for the Fire Department. A SUN is a specialized care coordinator who enhances access to medication for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Typically found in emergency departments or inpatient settings, a SUN helps individuals who have started buprenorphine treatment to continue their addiction recovery through motivation, resources, and support. Their role includes conducting initial assessments, introducing patients to OUD treatment programs and services, acting as a primary coach, and maintaining regular contact with their clients. Additionally, SUNs facilitate access to other essential services, including financial counseling, primary care, mental health support, social services, and residential treatment options. The SUN position is estimated to cost the City roughly $87,000 annually, inclusive of salaries and benefits. The Redlands Fire Department will be the pioneering fire department to implement this role.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose not to approve the acceptance of National Opioid Settlement funds from the five settling defendants.

DATE: 10/01/2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for the Tate Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Pipeline Replacement Project extending the completion time by twelve (12) months to October 18, 2025 (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris) MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for the Tate Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Pipeline Replacement Project extending the completion time by twelve (12) months to October 18, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The City extracts groundwater and receives raw water from two (2) surface water sources for treatment and disinfection to meet drinking water standards prior to distribution through the potable water system. Santa Ana River surface water is received and treated at the Hinckley Water Treatment Plant, and Mill Creek surface water is received and treated at the Tate Water Treatment Plant (Tate). Tate has a potable water treatment capacity of twenty million gallons per day (20 MGD), with average daily production of seven (7) MGD and peak day production of eleven (11) MGD during the peak water use season (July-September). Tate operates in the 2,340' pressure zone and is able to supply approximately eighty-seven percent (87%) of the City's water service Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
47 of 932
supply approximately eighty-seven percent (87%) of the City's water service area customers. The Tate facility has been upgraded, and its processes enhanced to improve water supply reliability by allowing State Water Project to be mixed with Mill Creek water for treatment. Brady & Associates, Inc. recently completed a Condition, Structural, and Seismic Assessment of the Tate raw water transmission line and recommended replacement.
The goal of this phase of the Tate Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Influent Pipeline Replacement Project (Project) is to engineer a new raw water influent pipeline from the box structure near the Southern California Edison Power House #1, across Mill Creek, and join existing pipeline valving at the Tate connection point. The Project also serves as a distribution pipeline for Crafton Water Company and the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District, and includes valves and flow meters to separately control and measure flows. The Project will likely be constructed in two (2) separate phases in the future and construction documents will be provided for each phase.
On April 19, 2022, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) for this phase of the Project and determined the Project to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act. On October 3, 2023, City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement, extending the completion term by twelve (12) months to October 18, 2024. Continued delays coordinating engineering reviews and permitting with outside agencies necessitate an additional twelve (12) month extension to the contract term. If this Second Amendment is approved, the amended completion date will be October 18, 2025. No additional Agreement revisions are proposed.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Community Services Department manages the administration and issuance of permits for special events held in public areas of the city. Upon the issuance of a special event permit, the event permit, the event may take place contingent on the event organizer paying the required fees. The City recognizes the value of partnering with non-profit agencies and organizations to provide services beneficial to the community. In an effort to support programs that provide a community benefit, the City Council will, from time to time, consider the authorization of in-kind support including the use of city equipment, staff, and facilities for special events.
The Brooksee Foundation, in partnership with Revel Races, will be hosting the Big Bear Marathon/Half-Marathon on November 16, 2024. The marathon and half-marathon begins in Angelus Oaks and ends in Redlands along San Bernardino Avenue adjacent to the Redlands Sports Park. The Brooksee Foundation is requesting to temporarily close San Bernardino Avenue from Wabash Avenue to Dearborn Street for the event and permission to sell and consume alcoholic beverages at the event. The Brooksee Foundation serves one beer to each race participant as a courtesy, and gives the option to purchase additional beer for the participants only. The serving and selling of alcohol at the event is scheduled on November 16, 2024, and will end no later than 1:00 p.m. In order to accommodate the set-up for the event, Brooksee Foundation is requesting the closure of San Bernardino Avenue between Dearborn Street and Wabash Street on November 15, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. The closure will remain in place throughout the duration of the event. The event road closure will be removed by 5:00 p.m. on November 16, 2024.
City council approved the same request on October 17, 2023, for the event taking place on November 18, 2023. According to the application submitted, in addition to providing unforgettable experiences for their runners, REVEL races also deliver value to the communities who graciously host their events.

Participant Medical Plan
Aid stations will be established approximately every two miles along the entire race route, beginning near mile 3 of the full marathon. See Exhibit E for a sample aid station layout. Aid stations will be located on large shoulders and/or turnoff points adj acent to the runner lane to not obstruct the highway.
The locations of the 13 aid stations will be as follows:'
• Aid Station A: (34.1666449329, - 116.90499592700002)
• Aid Station B: (34.1592566256, - 116.92999679799999)
• Aid Station C: (34.1571858305, -116.95978004699998)
• Aid Station D: (34.1486246735, -116.98101777800002)
• Aid Station E: (34.1230714425, -116.98259759899997)
• Aid Station F: (34.1019214686, -116.9664507)
• Aid Station G: (34.0985233003, -116.97731364700002)
• Aid Station H: (34.1036529021, -117.009672954)

Volunteers manning each aid station will be carpooling to the area in 2-3 vehicles, and we have selected locations that allow for adequate room for them to park on the shoulders and/or pull outs next to the aid stations.
Each aid station, consisting of multiple portable tables and chairs, will be manned by several event staff. Staff members, who will be identified by matching event shirts, will ensure that runners are able to get proper nutrition and hydration when needed. All aid stations will be supplied with adequate water and electrolytes. These fluids will be delivered the day before the race in 5-gallon jugs. The morning of the race, volunteers will pour the water and electrolytes into 5-gallon plastic coolers. The fluids will then be dispensed into waxed paper cups to be distributed to runners as they pass the aid stations.
Select aid stations will be supplied with other amenities such as energy bars and gels. In planning supplies for nutrition and hydration, we will plan our quantities based on the maximum possible intake per runner, and then add a contingency surplus to ens ure that the risk of dehydration and exhaustion is minimized. In addition to aid stations along the route, water tables will also be set up at each starting line.
Each aid station along the route will be equipped with first aid kits. Event staff will be instructed concerning the use of these first aid kits. In addition, select aid stations (Aid Stations D, G, & K) Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
93 of 932
will be accompanied by medical aid stations. Medical aid stations will be staffed by trained medical personnel (EMT’s) from Prevent Medical Solutions who will be capable of assisting participants with serious issues and/or emergencies. Medical cots and extensive supplies will be on hand.
In case of extreme cold weather, participants will be supplied with gloves and heating blankets to be used at the starting venues and during the race if desired. If at any point a participant is incapable of continuing down the canyon, they may elect to be picked up by the rear sag wagon and escorted down the route.
See Exhibit A for aid station layout.
A large medical area will be established at the finish venue, adjacent to the finish line. This medical area , provided by Prevent Medical Solutions, will be set up the morning of th e race approximately 2hrs before the race starts and have the following staff: 1 Emergency Medicine Physician, 2 Emergency Nurses, 1 EMT Supervisor, and 3 Wellness Assistants (These staff do not have any medical licenses and are there to help runners walk to and from the medical area, hand out ice, etc. ) They will be equipped with all necessary medical supplies including emergency supplies. In addition, an ALS ambulance will be on hand at the finish venue and will have unrestricted access to outside roads if it becomes necessary to transport any participants.
Along the race course there will be 2 UTV’s staffed with medical personnel and EMT’s that will roam and be able to respond quickly to any potential issues. One will start at the Oak’s Restaurant in Angelous Oaks and watch the upper section of the course and the other will be at the intersection of Hwy 38 and Forest Falls Rd. taking care of anything further down. These UTV’s will be in communication with law enforcement through radio so that they can have better oversight over the course and be able to better respond to potential incidents that may occur. Once the last runners pass each of their locations they will fall in line and follow the runners down towards the finish line.

Communications Plan
A command post will be established at the finish venue to ensure that pertinent race information can be shared at all times with race staff and local authorities. Brooksee invites any and all law enforcement and government agencies related to the event to station a staff member at the command post.
Race staff will be using cell phones for communication during the event. Every aid station along the course will be equipped with a communication device so that pertinent information may be relayed to command. A communications list will be printed and distributed to each staff member; this list will identify the communication person that will be stationed at each aid station as well as at those fulfilling other roles during the event.
All event-related EMS and law enforcement vehicles stationed along the route will be equipped with communication devices (radios or cell phones depending on their location).

Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
108 of 932
DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Community Services Department manages the administration and issuance of permits for special events held in public areas of the city. Upon the issuance of a special event permit, the event may take place contingent on the event organizer paying the required fees. The City recognizes the value of partnering with non-profit agencies and organizations to provide services beneficial to the community. In an effort to support programs that provide a community benefit, the City Council will, from time to time, consider the authorization of in-kind support including the use of city equipment, staff, and facilities for special events.
The Chamber of Commerce is requesting in-kind support including Police Personnel, Facilities and Community Services Personnel and equipment, and the waiving of fees associated with reservations for Ed Hales and Smiley Parks.
The estimated total of this support is $11,948 . The Redlands Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization operating out of the City of Redlands.
According to the submitted application, the event registration and sponsorships will generate revenue for the Redlands Chamber of Commerce and grant the Chamber more opportunities to offer services to businesses and the local community, and raise funds for the NYE Orange Drop.
In addition, part of the proceeds will be donated to the Redlands Animal Shelter to continue and enhance operations. This event shows off the community by taking the attendees through historic Downtown and neighborhoods in the area.
It brings people in from all over the Inland Empire and ends at a time and location that encourages people to shop, eat, and relax at local shops. The proposed event is expected to draw 600 attendees to the downtown area where attendees will patronize local businesses and restaurants.
The Dog Jog commences on E. State Street at Ed Hales Park and continues along the route to the finish line and event destination at Eureka Street, on the east side of the Redlands Bowl. The Chamber of Commerce is requesting the temporary closure of E. State Street from Orange Street to 7th Street; 5th Street from the Ed Hales Park parking lot driveway to the Orange Street Alley; Eureka Street from the Joslyn Senior Center Parking Lot to the Contemporary Club Parking Lot. All parking lot driveways will remain accessible throughout the event. Redlands Police Department will have officers along the route to hold vehicular traffic, as needed, as part of the rolling closure. The closure on E.
State Street and 5th Street will only remain in place until 11:00 a.m. on the day of the event.
The event is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act's guidelines pursuant to Section 15311(c). Section 15311(c), accessory structures Class 11 facilities, consists of construction, or replacement of minor structure accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

of minor structure accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including placement of seasonal or temporary use items such as mobile food units, portable restrooms or similar items in generally the same locations from time to time in publicly owned parks or other facilities designed for public use.
ALTERNATIVES:

MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the purchase of five (5) Blue Series Cabinets Part CAB18036 and three (3) Blue Series Cabinets Part STCAB3575-77 from Econolite for an amount not to exceed $124,966.96.
RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands is proactively addressing the aging components of its traffic signal infrastructure, which includes maintaining 74 traffic signals and numerous illuminated crosswalks. Many of the City's video detection systems have surpassed their expected lifespans, making replacement parts difficult to source. To ensure continued reliability, the Facilities and Community Services Department (FCS) and the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department (MUED) have collaborated to standardize signal specifications. Iteris, Inc. was identified as the industry leader in video detection systems, due to the specialized nature of this equipment and lack of alternatives. Thus, staff Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

specialized nature of this equipment and lack of alternatives. Thus, staff recommends a Sole Source procurement for these critical upgrades.
Additionally, approximately 50% of the city’s traffic signal cabinets that house essential control equipment are beyond their recommended 20-year lifespan, with some over 30 years old. In response, the City Council allocated $125,000 of the FY 24-25 budget to replace these cabinets. These cabinets will be installed in partnership with Yunex, the City’s maintenance company, with a target completion date by the end of the fiscal year. These upgrades are crucial investments in maintaining the safety and efficiency of the city’s traffic management systems.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve the sole source purchase order and direct staff accordingly.

City Council Meeting I. 11.
DATE: 10/01/2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a license agreement with Dawg Social LLC to operate a hot dog cart located at City Hall, 35 Cajon Street, and determine that approval of the agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendations are appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move to determine that approval of a License Agreement with Dawg Social LLC is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; and
1. I move to approve a License Agreement with Dawg Social LLC to operate a hot dog cart at City Hall, 35 Cajon Street.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the License Agreement with Dawg Social LLC to operate a hot dog cart for an outdoor dining area located at City Hall, 35 Cajon Street, and determine that approval of the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands City Hall complex located at 35 Cajon Street includes the administrative offices of the City. It provides residents with a place to pay city utility bills as well as procure permits from Engineering, Planning, and Building & Safety. It is also the site of City Council meetings and a public parking lot, Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
158 of 932
providing free parking when visiting the downtown area.
Dawg Social, LLC (Dawg Social) proposes operating a food cart serving hot dogs at the City Hall complex. The cart will provide a traditional hot dog cart experience by serving locally sourced hot dogs. The business also donates a percentage of sales from the cart to local dog shelters. Last year, Dawg Social donated approximately $4,400 to the Redlands Animal Services during the first 9 months of the City's previous license agreement. The proposal is to enter into a new License Agreement for a two (2) year term to permit the use of City Hall grounds to operate a hot dog cart. Per the License Agreement, Dawg Social will maintain this area and ensure compliance with the License Agreement and all applicable laws, including all County Health requirements. The License Agreement requires a monthly rent of $250.00.
Staff recommends that the License Agreement is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines pursuant to Section 15301. This section pertains to existing facilities and applies when there is no resulting expansion of use. The approval of the agreement is consistent with this exemption as it is within a developed portion of South 5th Street and will primarily service existing customers coming to Downtown Redlands.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may decline the approval of the License Agreement or provide alternative direction to staff.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
171 of 932
RECOMMENDATION:
PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 5-1-1 (Commissioner Smith opposed and Commissioner Marc Shaw absent) to adopt Resolution No. 1681 recommending approval of the project entitlements and the Density Bonus Agreement to the City Council.
During the meeting, the Commission discussed site design, the density bonus and the requested financial assistance for the project. The Commission was supportive of the project and its design, and recommended replacement of some of the surface parking within the project with additional landscaping (although no condition of approval was added). Some discussion was focused on building orientation and alignment in relation to providing open spaces. As proposed, the project includes a number of waivers of development standards that will reduce setbacks and building separation distances pursuant to Density Bonus Law (see discussion of Density Bonus Law in Background section below).
The Commission added Condition of Approval No. 8 that requires the applicant to submit a management plan for the affordable units. This management plan is detailed in the Density Bonus agreement and will be provided to the Planning Commission for review prior to approval by the City Manager. The review and approval of the management plan by the City is required prior to the issuance of any Certificate of Occupancy for the density bonus units.
Since the proposed loan agreement is not within the Planning Commission's purview, the Financial Gap Analysis that is attached to this agenda report was not provided to the Commission for review. However, the Commission expressed concern regarding the loan and whether it is truly necessary to secure the affordable units. However, the gap analysis validates the need for funding represented by the developer and confirms that the proposed loan amount is appropriate.
BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 2019, the City Council approved entitlements for a 328-unit market-rate multifamily apartment project located between Iowa Street and Tennessee Street on the north and south sides of Orange Avenue. The project has been constructed and is now occupied. During the construction of the project, the applicant submitted the proposed revision to the initial project approvals, with a request for a density bonus. The proposed Density Bonus Units would be developed on the southernmost portion of the site, which is currently vacant.
State Density Bonus Law: Provisions for any requested density bonus are detailed in State law. A developer who meets the requirements of State Density Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
172 of 932
Bonus Law is entitled to a density bonus as a matter of right. In addition to the density bonus, the City is also required to provide incentives or concessions.
The City is required to grant concessions which reduce development standards, or remove regulatory constraints which result in increased costs to the developer. These concessions must be granted unless the City finds that the proposed concessions do not result in identifiable cost reductions, would cause a public health or safety problem, cause an environmental problem, harm a historical property or would be contrary to law. The City has the burden of proof in the event it declines to grant any requested concession. However, the State Density Bonus Law does not require that the City grant an incentive that is a request for direct financial assistance or a waiver of fees.
In addition to incentives or concessions, density bonus projects are also entitled to waivers of development standards. The City may not apply development standards which would physically preclude the construction of the project at its permitted density. Waiving development standards necessary for the construction of compliant density bonus projects is mandatory. Generally, because granting of incentives/concessions and waivers to density bonus projects is mandatory, the City does not have discretion over their approval, except to the extent specific findings are authorized.
PROPOSAL:
Pursuant to a Density Bonus application received on December 16, 2022, the applicant requested a density bonus for the Venue at Orange development. This proposal would revise the previously-approved Commission Review & Approval No. 914 (CRA 914) to allow construction of 164 additional apartment units pursuant to the request for a density bonus and related incentives/concessions and waivers. The site for the Density Bonus Units is located between Iowa Street and Alabama Street on the north and south sides of Orange Avenue (see Attachment A – Location Map and Aerial Photograph). The original entitlement for CRA 914 approved a total of 328 market-rate apartments. The proposed density bonus units will be located on the south side of Orange Street and within the boundaries of the CRA 914 project site. The density bonus units are proposed to be constructed within three (3) four-story buildings on the vacant
3.2-acre portion of the site.
The proposed project would restrict a total of 50 units, which is 15% of the unit count of CRA 914 (328 DU x 0.15 = 49.2 or 50 units), for affordable housing in exchange for approval of a density bonus. By providing 50 affordable housing units, the allowable density bonus is equivalent to 50% of the CRA 914 total unit count (328 DU x 0.5 = 164 units). Approval of this proposed Revision to CRA 914 plus the related Density Bonus Agreement would allow a total of 492 units (328 + 164 = 492). The 50 affordable housing units would be distributed throughout the entire project site, both Phase I and II, on both the north and south sides of Orange Avenue.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
173 of 932
The applicant is also proposing to subdivide one existing parcel within CRA 914 (south side of Orange Street) into two parcels. Parcel 1 will be 5.9 gross acres and contain 105 existing residential units. Parcel 2 will be 3.2 gross acres, is currently vacant, and is the proposed location for the Density Bonus Units. The new portion and buildings to be constructed are designed to be a logical extension of the existing development and site improvements. Upon completion of the project, the existing portions of the project and the new density bonus portion will be developed in a seamless and cohesive manner.
The proposed project provides well in excess of the number of affordable units required by the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, even though it is technically exempt because the application was deemed Complete prior to the ordinance becoming effective.
ANALYSIS:
The proposal and project plans were fully evaluated in the staff report prepared for the June 25, 2024, Planning Commission meeting (see Attachment B).
Analysis from the previous report is summarized below.
A) General Plan
The General Plan designation of the property is 'Medium Density Residential' (See Attachment C). Medium-Density Residential designates area intended to be developed at a density up to 15 units/acre. The intent of this land use category is to provide areas for the development of attached, detached, and/or mixed residential uses with a range of densities and housing types. In addition, there are several General Plan policies and actions that are relevant to this proposal, as follows:
Action 4-A.7: Promote a range of residential densities to encourage a mix of housing types in varying price ranges and rental rates.
Policy 4-P.16: Promote a variety of housing types to serve the diverse needs of the community.
Policy 4-P.6: Provide for a balance among a variety of different land uses and their distribution among the city’s neighborhoods.
Action 4-A.8: Promote the development of a greater variety of housing types, including single-family homes on small lots, accessory dwelling units, townhomes, lofts, live-work spaces, and senior and student housing to meet the needs of future demographics and changing family sizes.
B) Specific Plan
The project is located in the Multiple-Family Residential 2500 (EV/2500) District Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
174 of 932
of the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (See Attachment D). This district is intended to provide for the development of high-quality apartments on large lots with densities of up to 15 dwelling units per acre.
C) Density Bonus and Loan Agreements
The applicant will be required to enter into a Density Bonus Agreement (Attachment E) with the City, which requires that 50 units within the project only be rented to very low-income households for a minimum period of 55 years. The agreement also includes verification and reporting requirements.
Pursuant to State law, and based on the percentage of affordability included in this project, the applicant is entitled to three or more incentives or concessions.
An incentive or concession is defined as:
A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code or architectural design requirements, such as a reduction in setback or minimum square footage requirements; or
Approval of mixed use zoning; or
Other regulatory incentives or concessions which result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.
The applicant has requested three incentives/concessions. These are:
An increase in the number of stories permitted under local standards for the Density Bonus Units from three to four stories;
1. An increase in the perimeter fence height permitted under local standards from six feet to eight feet; and
2. Financial assistance that will make the provision of affordable units for Very Low Income Households financially feasible and offset the cost of impact fees in the amount of $1,500,000. The financial assistance incentive requires approval from the City Council of a separate Loan Agreement.
3. With respect to the third request above, the City has contracted with Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) to prepare a Financial Gap Analysis for the project (see Attachment F). KMA is a full-service real estate advisory firm with offices in Berkeley, Los Angeles and San Diego that specializes in real estate advisory services with a focus on affordable housing policy, land use economics, and fiscal and economic impact analysis.
The KMA analysis showed that the project, with 50 residential units restricted for rent to Very Low Income households for a period of 55 years, exhibits a $1.59 million financial gap; that is, in order for the project to be financially feasible, up to $1.59 million in financial assistance can be justified. As such, the Developer's request for a $1.5 million forgivable loan is supported by the KMA analysis.
The proposed financial assistance will take the form of a forgivable loan with a term of 55 years, matching the covenant period for the affordable housing units.
At the end of each year, as long as the project remains in compliance with the Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
175 of 932
affordability covenants, the outstanding balance of the loan will be reduced by 1/55 of the loan principal ($27,272.72) plus any accrued interest. The Loan Agreement is Attachment G to this report.
Staff is recommending that the Inclusionary Housing Fund be the source of funds for the $1,500,000 loan. At present, this fund has a zero balance.
However, in the past year, the City has approved two single-family development projects that will be paying a total of just over $3.3 million. Based on the timing of these projects, the earliest that these funds will start being paid into the Inclusionary Fund will be the end of 2025. However, the applicant needs the $1.5 million in order to move forward with the project. Therefore, staff proposes an Interfund Loan from the City's General Fund to the Inclusionary Housing Fund of $1.5 million for a term not to exceed five (5) years. This is a separate agenda item on tonight's agenda (Resolution No. 8636).
D) Commission Review and Approval
Site Design: The project site is a 3.2-acre portion of the Venue at Orange apartments. The site is approximately 326’ wide (east to west) and 436’ long (north to south), approximately rectangular in shape, and located abutting the south side of the existing Venue at Orange apartments. Primary vehicular access to the site will be from Alabama Street and Orange Avenue, and have access via the existing drive aisles within the Venue at Orange project.
Currently, there are two existing buildings (Building S1 and S2) on the site, and three new buildings are proposed (S3, S4, and S5).
Table B: Units per Building (Phase 2)
Bldg. S3 Bldg S4 Building S5 Total

Amenities proposed include a pool, putting green area, outdoor play area and outdoor open space areas.
Development Standards: The project meets the development standards of the EV/2500 district (see Attachment H-1, Site Plan; and Attachment H-2, Floor Plans). The table below summarizes the proposed development’s consistency with the development standards. A complete list of applicable development standards is included in Attachment I.

Setbacks: The habitable structures within the project are proposed with a maximum height of four stories (approximately 54’ high), except for the accessory structures (such as the pool cabana) which are one-story. The table below illustrates how the project has been designed to comply with the setback requirements of the EV/2500 District. The applicant is requesting a waiver for setbacks as they relate to Building S3 adjacent to the northern property line of Parcel 2, and for Building S5 adjacent to the southern property line of Parcel 2, as indicated in the table below.

Building Separation and Interior Yards: In addition to the setbacks above, the EV/2500 District includes provisions for internal yards and building separation standards for multi-family buildings. These yards act as guidelines for separation of structures and provide spacing between groups of main buildings and building wings. The Specific Plan states that the front of the building is the side Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
177 of 932
containing the main entryway (because of this, buildings may have more than one front). In addition to this, building separations are to be increased by the dimension of any drive aisle that passes between buildings.
Table E: Required Building Separation
Front Side Rear
30 Front 15 Feet 20 Feet
There are two locations where the project does not meet the minimum building separation requirements: 1) between buildings S3 and S4; and between buildings S3 and S5. The first is the required separation between the S3 and S4 buildings (East to West) where the separation is 30’11” as shown on the project plans. This is a front-to-rear separation between the buildings and a 50’ separation is required (30’ for the front and 20’ for the rear). The second location is between the S3 and S5 buildings where the separation is 77’ 7” as shown on the project plans. This is a front-to-front separation requiring 86’ of building separation (30’ for each front yard and 26’ for the drive aisle between them).
The Specific Plan gives the decision-making body the ability to approve a lesser separation based upon the design of the project. Yard standards may be modified where the modifications will improve the project in terms of more usable open space, aesthetic appearance, and living environment, provided that no buildings are closer than 20’ apart. Staff believes that the reduction in the building separation is justified and within the separation requirements allowed to be approved by the City Council, as the project design allows full fire and vehicular access to the southernmost residential units while still incorporating open recreational areas for a pool, tot lot, putting green and seating area.
Open Space: The EV/2500 District requires one square foot of outdoor living area for every three square feet of gross floor area of living space. This can be provided in the form of common open space areas, private open space, or a combination thereof. There shall be at least 200 square-feet of common open space for each dwelling unit. The project is required to provide a minimum of 150,560 square-feet of open space (in either common open space, private open space, or a combination of both), and the proposed design falls short of the required open space requirement with 55,873 square-feet of open space for outdoor living area. A minimum of 30% of the common open space area must be landscaped, and the project provides 29.5% of the common open space as landscaping. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard and is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
Site Landscaping: The Landscape Plan (Attachment J) includes a variety of hardscape elements and plant materials which includes trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcover. The project will incorporate nine tree species, primarily including Lemon Scented Gum, Crape Myrtle, and Brisbane Box. The East Valley Corridor Specific Plan Section EV4.260(a), "Other Site Landscaping Provisions," requires Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
178 of 932
a minimum of 35% of the total site area (or 290,602 square-feet) to be landscaped. As proposed, the project provide 27.4% (or 227,551 square-feet) and therefore does not meet this requirement. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard, which is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
A minimum of 7% of the parking lot areas are required to be landscaped (or a minimum of 20,673 square-feet). The entire project will provide 13.5% (or 40,083 square-feet) of the parking area as landscaped area upon completion, and will exceed the minimum requirement. Where parking areas abut a side or rear property line, perimeter landscaped planters are required. Between buildings S4 and S5, this perimeter landscaping is reduced in width, and does not meet the 5' requirement. This reduction is necessary to accommodate fire access and a turnaround location for fire apparatus. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard, and it is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
Walls and Fences: Except for an existing CMU block wall along the western side of the project, the project proposes to fence the entire property with tubular steel fencing to secure the parking area and provide security. All entry points to the project currently have controlled access for security. The proposed project will be located south of the existing access-control gates and enclosed by 8’ high tubular steel fencing.
Parking: The applicant is providing parking consistent with State Density Bonus Law contained in California Government Code 65915(p)(1), which states that upon the request of the developer, a city, county, or city and county shall not require a vehicular parking ratio, inclusive of handicapped and guest parking, that exceeds the following ratios:
Table F: Density Bonus Parking Ratios
Unit Type Spaces Required
Studio 1 Space
1 Bedroom 1 Space
2 Bedroom 1.5 Spaces
3 Bedroom 1.5 Spaces
According to the above ratios, the project would be required to provide 620 total parking spaces, and 765 parking spaces will be provided upon project completion. Parking spaces are distributed throughout the project as shown in the table below.

Architecture: The proposed building design is inspired by the Spanish/Mission architectural theme that matches that of the existing buildings within the Venue at Orange. Towers and varied rooflines, exposed rafters, and arches provide significant visual interest on all sides of the buildings. Proposed architectural elevations are provided as Attachment K (Project Elevations). Analysis of the project’s consistency with the City’s Architectural Guidelines and the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan’s Design Guidelines is included as Attachment L. Staff finds the project to be consistent with the architectural guidelines.
E) Architectural Review Criteria
The approving body reviews the project to determine whether the proposed development is in conformity with RMC Section 18.12.170, Architectural Review Criteria, and if approval of the site plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. It is intended that design submittals be compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and that they be of comparable composition, materials, textures and colors. Conformance is evaluated based on seven criteria. The project is consistent with the architectural design criteria. A complete discussion and analysis of the project in relation to the design criteria is included in the June 25, 2024, Planning Commission staff report included as Attachment B.
F) Parcel Map
The Venue at Orange project is constructed on two legal parcels with three Assessor Parcel Numbers (two north of Orange Avenue and one south). The portion south of Orange Avenue (APN: 0292-482-01-0000) is a 9.2-acre partially developed parcel, and the applicant is proposing to subdivide this partially developed parcel into two parcels. As proposed, Parcel 1 will be 5.9 gross acres and is developed with 105 residential units. Parcel 2 will be 3.2 gross acres, is currently vacant, and is the proposed location for the 164 Density Bonus Units.
Both resulting lots will be consistent with the RMC and the new lot will meet the minimum width, depth, and lot area requirements for the EV/2500 District.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
180 of 932
RMC Chapter 17.11.080 allows the approving body at its discretion to waive all or part of the requirements for a tentative map for any division of real property which would require a parcel map. The applicant is requesting to waive the preparation and approval of a tentative map for the proposed project (which will assist in streamlining the development of the proposed project). To waive the tentative map, the approving body must make a finding that the proposed division of land complies with requirements listed in the Municipal Code, the General Plan, the Subdivision Map Act, and related to overall improvement and design.
G) Socio-Economic Cost / Benefit Study
In accordance with the Principals of Managed Development Element of the General Plan, a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study (Attachment M) has been completed for the project. Based on the cost/benefit model utilized by the City, the project provides a positive cost/benefit ratio of 1.28 over the period of 2025-2034 (and results in positive net revenue to the City after development).
This project will provide the City approximately $141,542 in new revenue, will incur costs to the City of $107,219 to provide public services and facilities, and will result in net revenue of $34,321 annually. The project will not result in any physical blight or overburden public services in the community, and all necessary findings can be made.
H) Findings
Staff believed that the required findings for approval of the Parcel Map and the Commission Review and Approval can be made. The written findings are contained in the draft Resolution for approval (Attachment O-1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project qualifies for exemption from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15332 (Class 32) pertains to infill development sites and the proposal meets all criteria for this exemption as listed below.
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations;
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species;
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

PROPOSAL
Pursuant to a density bonus application received on December 16, 2022, the applicant proposed a density bonus for the Venue at Orange development. This proposal to revise previously approved Commission Review & Approval No. 914 (CRA 914) to allow construction of 164 additional apartment units pursuant to the request for a density bonus and related concessions, incentives, and waivers. The site for the Density Bonus Units is located between Iowa Street and Alabama Street on the north and south sides of Orange Avenue (Attachment A – Location Map and Aerial Photograph). The original entitlement for CRA 914 approved a total of 328 market-rate apartments. The proposed density bonus units will be located on the south side of Orange Street within the boundaries of the CRA 914 project site.
The density bonus units are proposed to be constructed within three four-story buildings on a vacant
3.2-acre portion of the site.
The proposed project would restrict a total of 50 units, which is 15% of the unit count of CRA 914 (328 DU x 0.15 = 49.2 or 50 units), for affordable housing in exchange for approval of a density bonus. By providing 50 affordable housing units, the allowable density bonus is equivalent to 50% of the CRA 914 total unit count (328 DU x 0.5 = 164 units). Approval of the proposed Revision to CRA 914 and the related density bonus agreement would allow a total of 492 units (328 + 164 = 492). The 50 affordable housing units would be distributed throughout the entire project site on both the north and south sides of Orange Avenue.
The applicant is also proposing to subdivide one existing parcel within CRA 914 (south side of Orange Street) into two parcels. Parcel 1 is 5.9 gross acres and contains 105 existing residential units. Parcel 2 Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

Street) into two parcels. Parcel 1 is 5.9 gross acres and contains 105 existing residential units. Parcel 2 is 3.2 gross acres, is currently vacant, and is the proposed location for the Density Bonus Units.
The new portion to be developed are designed to be a logical extension of the existing development and site improvements. Upon completion of the project, the existing portions of the project and the new density bonus portion will be developed in a seamless and cohesive manner.
The proposed project provides well in excess of the number of affordable units required by the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, even though it is technically exempt because the application was deemed complete prior to the ordinance going into effect.
BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2019, the City Council approved entitlements for a 328-unit market-rate multifamily apartment project located between Iowa Street and Tennessee Street on the north and south sides of Orange Avenue. Approvals for the project included:
1. Adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
2. A Socio-Economic Cost Benefit Study
3. An Amendment to the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan
4. A Tentative Tract Map to merge ten parcels into two
5. A Commission Review and Approval for the project’s site plan and design
The project has been constructed and is now occupied. During the construction of the project, the applicant submitted the proposed revision to the initial project approvals, with a request for a density bonus. The proposed Density Bonus Units would be developed on the southernmost portion of the site, which is currently vacant.
Housing Crisis Act of 2019: The Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also referred to as Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), became effective on January 1, 2020, and will be in effect through January 1, 2025. SB 330 imposed several limitations on cities and counties with regard to proposed housing development projects, as defined, including the provisions listed below.
The City may conduct no more than five (5) hearings on the project (including any Commission or Board meetings, workshops, subcommittee meetings, etc.).
The City may still use its Architectural Design Guidelines that were previously adopted in 2009, provided the City does not: a) deny the project, or b) reduce the number of dwelling units based on nonconformance with subjective design criteria.
Requires any potential disapproval of a project that complies with objective General Plan and zoning standards (or approve it on the condition that it be developed at a lower density) to base its decision upon written findings supported by substantial evidence in the record and places the burden of proof on the local agency.
Prohibits the City from changing the zoning or development standards that would: change the allowable land use to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of use below that which was in effect on January 1, 2018; impose or enforce a moratorium on housing development within all or a portion of the jurisdiction of the city; and, impose or enforce new design standards established on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective design standards, as defined.
State Density Bonus Law: Provisions for any requested density bonus are detailed in State law. A developer who meets the requirement of State Density Bonus Law is entitled to a density bonus as a matter of right. In addition to the density bonus, the City is also required to provide incentives/concessions. The City is required to grant concessions which reduce development standards, or remove other regulatory constraints which result in increased costs to the developer. These concessions must be granted unless the City finds that the proposed concessions do not result in identifiable cost reductions, would cause a public health or safety problem, cause an environmental problem, harm a historical property or would be contrary to law. The City has the burden of proof in the Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

problem, harm a historical property or would be contrary to law. The City has the burden of proof in the event it declines to grant any requested concession. In addition to concessions, density bonus projects are also entitled to unlimited waivers of development standards. The City may not apply development standards which would physically preclude the construction of the project at its permitted density. Waiving development standards necessary for the construction of compliant density bonus projects is mandatory.
Generally, because granting of concessions, incentives and waivers to density bonus projects is mandatory, the City does not have discretion over their approval, except to the extent specific findings are authorized. However, the State Density Bonus Law does not require that the City grant a concession or incentive that is a request for direct financial assistance or a waiver of fees.
ANALYSIS
A) General Plan
The General Plan designation of the property is 'Medium Density Residential' (See Attachment B).
Medium-Density Residential designates area intended to be developed at a density up to 15 units/acre.
The intent of this land use category is to provide areas for the development of attached, detached, and/or mixed residential uses with a range of densities and housing types. In addition, there are several General Plan policies and actions that are relevant to this proposal, as follows:
Action 4-A.7: Promote a range of residential densities to encourage a mix of housing types in varying price ranges and rental rates.
Policy 4-P.16: Promote a variety of housing types to serve the diverse needs of the community.
Policy 4-P.6: Provide for a balance among a variety of different land uses and their distribution among the city’s neighborhoods.
Action 4-A.8: Promote the development of a greater variety of housing types, including single-family homes on small lots, accessory dwelling units, townhomes, lofts, live-work spaces, and senior and student housing to meet the needs of future demographics and changing family sizes.
B) Specific Plan
The project is located in the Multiple-Family Residential 2500 (EV/2500) District of the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan. This district is intended to provide for the development of high-quality apartments on large lots with densities of up to 15 dwelling units per acre.
Density Bonus: A total of 50 residences within the project would be restricted for rental only to Very Low-income households and would be distributed throughout the project site. Therefore, the project is eligible for a Density Bonus Agreement pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (Gov. Code Section 65915 et seq.). Through this agreement, as specified by State law, the applicant may request and be entitled to reductions to on-site parking requirements, incentives and/or concessions, and unlimited waivers or reductions to any development standards that would physically preclude the development of a project at the allowable density.
Pursuant to State law, as well as Section 18.228.030(A) of the Redlands Municipal Code, a density bonus granted to a residential development project shall consist of an increase over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and of the City's General Plan as of the date of application. Projects that deed restrict 15% of the project’s base units for rent to very low-income residents are eligible for a density bonus. The allowable density bonus by State law is up to a 50% increase above the base unit count. The applicant is requesting a density bonus that equates to an additional 7.5 units per gross acre (22.5 DU/acre). As such, the density bonus would be Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

equates to an additional 7.5 units per gross acre (22.5 DU/acre). As such, the density bonus would be consistent with the provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code and State law. As shown in Table A, the applicant is requesting a density bonus that may be approved based on the General Plan density and the allowable density bonus.

C) Density Bonus and Loan Agreements
The applicant will be required to enter into a Density Bonus Agreement with the City, which requires that 50 units within the project only be rented to very low-income residents for a minimum period of 55 years.
The agreement also includes verification and reporting requirements. The Density Bonus Agreement will need to be approved by the City Council for the approval of the Density Bonus Units (see Attachment C for draft Agreement).
Pursuant to State law, and based on the percentage of affordability included in this project, the applicant is entitled to three or more "incentives" or “concessions.” A concession or incentive is defined as:
A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code or architectural design requirements, such as a reduction in setback or minimum square footage requirements; or Approval of mixed use zoning; or
Other regulatory incentives or concessions which actually result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.
The applicant has requested three incentives/concessions. These are:
An increase in the number of stories permitted under local standards for the Density Bonus Units from three to four stories;
1. An increase in the perimeter fence height permitted under local standards from six feet; and2.
Financial assistance that will make the provision of affordable units for Very Low Income Households financially feasible and offset the cost of impact fees in the amount of $1,500,000.00.
The financial assistance incentive requires approval from the City Council as a separate Loan Agreement and Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement.
3. With respect to the third request above, the developer has submitted a development pro forma to the City demonstrating the need for $1,500,000 in financial assistance to make the project financially feasible.
Staff has had the City's financial consultant and affordable housing expert, Keyser Marsten Associates, review the pro forma to verify the need for the requested assistance. Keyser Marsten concluded that the developer's request is reasonable and warranted.
The financial assistance will take the form of a forgivable loan with a term of 55 years, matching the covenant period for the affordable housing units. At the end of each year, as long as the project remains in compliance with the affordability covenants, the outstanding balance of the loan will be reduced by 1/55 of the loan principal ($27,272.72) plus any accrued interest.
Staff is recommending that the Inclusionary Housing Fund be the source of funds for the $1,500,000 loan. At present this fund has a zero balance. However, in the past year, the City has approved two single-family development projects that will be paying a total of just over $3.3 million. Based on the timing of these projects, the earliest that these funds will start being paid into the Inclusionary Fund will be the end of 2025. However, the applicant needs these funds in order to move forward with the project.
Therefore, staff has prepared an agreement that provides for a deferral of the payment of $1.5 million of development impact fees until such time as the City is able to dispurse the loan funds. The loan Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
190 of 932
development impact fees until such time as the City is able to dispurse the loan funds. The loan proceeds will be dispursed to escrow for payment of the development impact fees that were deferred.
D) Commission Review and Approval
Site Design: The project site is a 3.2-acre portion of the Venue at Orange apartments. The site is approximately 326’ wide (east to west) and 436’ long (north to south), approximately rectangular in shape, and located abutting the south side of the existing Venue at Orange apartments. Primary vehicular access to the site will be from Alabama Street and Orange Avenue, and have access via the existing drive aisles within the Venue at Orange project. Currently, there are two existing buildings (Building S1 and S2) on the site, and three new buildings are proposed (S3, S4, and S5).
Table B: Units per Building (Phase 2)
Bldg. S3 Bldg S4 Building S5 Total

Amenities proposed include a pool, putting green area, outdoor play area and outdoor open space areas.
Development Standards: The project meets the development standards of the EV/2500 district (see Attachment D-1, Site Plan; and Attachment D-2, Floor Plans). The table below summarizes the proposed development’s consistency with the development standards. A complete list of applicable development standards is included in Attachment E.

Setbacks: The habitable structures within the project are proposed at a height of four stories (approximately 54’ high), except for the accessory structures (such as the pool cabana) which are one-story. The table below illustrates how the project has been designed to comply with the setback requirements of the EV/2500 District. The applicant is requesting a waiver for setbacks as they relate to Building S3 adjacent to the northern property line of Parcel 2, and for Building S5 adjacent to the southern property line of Parcel 2, as indicated in the table below.

Building Separation and Interior Yards: In addition to the setbacks above, the EV/2500 District includes provisions for internal yards and building separation standards for multi-family buildings. These yards act as guidelines for separation of structures and provide spacing between groups of main buildings and building wings. The Specific Plan states that the front of the building is the side containing the main entryway (because of this, buildings may have more than one front). In addition to this, building separations are to be increased by the dimension of any drive aisle that passes between buildings.
Table E: Required Building Separation
Front Side Rear
30 Front 15 Feet 20 Feet
There are two locations where the project does not meet the minimum building separation requirements:
1) between buildings S3 and S4; and between buildings S3 and S5. The first is the required separation between the S3 and S4 buildings (East to West) where the separation is 30’11” as shown on the project plans. This is a front-to-rear separation between the buildings and 50’ of separation is required (30’ for the front and 20’ for the rear). The second location is between the S3 and S5 buildings where the separation is 77’7” as shown on the project plans. This is a front-to-front separation requiring 86’ of building separation (30’ for each front yard and 26’ for the drive aisle between them).
The Specific Plan gives the decision-making body the ability to approve a lesser separation based upon the design of the project. Yard standards may be modified where the modifications will improve the project in terms of more usable open space, aesthetic appearance, and living environment, provided that no buildings are closer than 20’ apart. Staff believes that the reduction in the building separation is justified and within the separation requirements allowed to be approved by the City Council, as the project design allows full fire and vehicular access to the southernmost residential units while still incorporating open recreational areas for a pool, tot lot, putting green and seating area.
Open Space: The EV/2500 District requires one square foot of outdoor living area for every three square feet of gross floor area of living space. This can be provided in the form of common open space areas, private open space, or a combination thereof. There shall be at least 200 square-feet of common open space for each dwelling unit. The project is required to provide a minimum of 150,560 square-feet of open space (in either common open space, private open space, or a combination of both), and the proposed design falls short of the required open space requirement with 55,873 square-feet of open space for outdoor living area. A minimum of 30% of the common open space area must be landscaped, and the project provides 29.5% of the common open space as landscaping. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard and is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
Site Landscaping: The Landscape Plan (Attachment F) includes a variety of hardscape elements and plant materials which includes trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcover. The project will incorporate nine tree species, primarily including Lemon Scented Gum, Crape Myrtle, and Brisbane Box. The East Valley Corridor Specific Plan Section EV4.260(a), "Other Site Landscaping Provisions," requires a minimum of 35% of the total site area (or 290,602 square-feet) to be landscaped. As proposed, the project provide
27.4% (or 227,551 square-feet) and therefore does not meet this requirement. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard, and it is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
A minimum of 7% of the parking lot areas are required to be landscaped (or a minimum of 20,673 Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
192 of 932
square-feet). The entire project will provide 13.5% (or 40,083 square-feet) of the parking area as landscaped area upon completion, and will exceed the minimum requirement. Where parking areas abut a side or rear property line, perimeter landscaped planters are required. Between buildings S4 and S5, this perimeter landscaping is reduced in width, and does not meet the 5' requirement. This reduction is necessary to accommodate fire access and a turnaround location for fire apparatus. The applicant has requested a waiver for this development standard, and it is included in the Density Bonus Agreement.
Walls and Fences: Except for an existing CMU block wall along the western side of the project, the project proposes to fence the entire property with tubular steel fencing to secure the parking area and provide security. All entry points to the project currently have controlled access for security. The proposed project will be located south of the existing access-control gates and enclosed by 8’ high tubular steel fencing.
Lighting: The proposed apartment complex will require lighting to illuminate the parking lot and walkway areas for safety and security. Several standard conditions of approval have been applied to the project to ensure that lighting will not have a negative effect on neighboring properties. These include requirements for the approval of a lighting plan prior to building permit issuance, indicating design details of all light fixtures, and a photometric plan designed by an electrical engineer demonstrating the adequate lighting ranges will be provided throughout the development without creating light spillover. The illumination within the parking lot shall be a minimum of 0.5 foot-candle and illumination along all property lines of the project site shall not exceed 0.5 foot-candle. Additionally, the conditions of approval require that all exterior lighting be approved by the Development Services Director or designee, and that all lighting be shielded and pointed downward so that light and glare do not impact surrounding properties.
Parking: The applicant is providing parking consistent with State Density Bonus Law contained in California Government Code 65915(p)(1), which states that upon the request of the developer, a city, county, or city and county shall not require a vehicular parking ratio, inclusive of handicapped and guest parking, that exceeds the following ratios:
Table F: Density Bonus Parking Ratios
Unit Type Spaces Required
Studio 1 Space
1 Bedroom 1 Space
2 Bedroom 1.5 Spaces
3 Bedroom 1.5 Spaces
According to the above ratios, the project would be required to provide 620 total parking spaces, and 765 parking spaces will be provided upon project completion. Parking spaces are distributed throughout the project as shown in the table below.

Architecture: The proposed building design is inspired by the Spanish/Mission architectural theme that matches that of the existing buildings within the Venue at Orange. Towers and varied rooflines, exposed rafters, and arches provide significant visual interest on all sides of the buildings. Proposed architectural elevations are provided as Attachment G (Project Elevations). Analysis of the project’s consistency with the City’s Architectural Guidelines and the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan’s Design Guidelines is included as Attachment H. Staff finds the project to be consistent with the architectural guidelines.
E) Architectural Review Criteria
Although the proposed building and use is permitted within the zone, new construction over 500 square-feet is subject to review by the Planning Commission per Redlands Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 18.12 and requires Commission Review and Approval. The Planning Commission reviews the project to determine whether the proposed development is in conformity with RMC Section 18.12.170, Architectural Review Criteria, and if approval of the site plan is in the best interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare. It is intended that design submittals be compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and that they be of comparable composition, materials, textures and colors. Conformance is evaluated based on the following seven criteria.
1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another, as well as open spaces and topography.
The proposed site layout, building orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another are physically suitable in size and shape to support the development. The site will be accessed via a drive aisle with access to Alabama Street and Orange Avenue. drive aisle with access through the existing portion of the project site to Orange and meets all applicable development standards of the EVCSP.
2. Harmonious relationship of building with existing and proposed adjoining developments.
The project site is surrounded by residential development on three sides and a church to the south. The proposed buildings and use are compatible with the context of the area which is primarily composed of residential uses.
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass of building, as well as other structures such as walls, screens, towers or signs, and effective concealment of all mechanical equipment.
The proposed project will meet all applicable development standards of the Multiple Family (EV/2500) District of the EVCSP including floor-area ratio, setbacks, building height, and lot coverage upon approval of the Density Bonus Agreement with Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants and Restrictions. The proposed buildings will have a maximum height of approximately 54 feet and any proposed roof-mounted mechanical equipment will be screened from the public right-of-way through the incorporation of parapet walls and pitched roof elements.
4. Harmony of construction materials and colors in relation to all exterior elevations.
The proposed architectural design of the building is consistent with the surrounding development including the existing portions of the Venus at Orange in terms of material, color, and scale. The design of the building provides variation in parapet height, popouts, detailed elements and pitched tile roofs.
5. Location and type of planting, with due regard for the preservation of specimen trees upon a site.
The proposal meets the landscaping requirements of the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan in terms of the landscaping requirement within parking areas. Residential uses that are located within the EVCSP are required to provide a minimum of 35% of landscaping (or 290,602 square-feet of landscaping across the total project site). The project proposes 227,551 square-feet of landscaping (or 27.4%) of the total Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24
194 of 932
project area. With the approval of a Density Bonus Agreement with Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants and Restrictions and waivers related to landscaping, the project will be considered to have met this requirement. There are no specimen trees located within the development area of the site.
6. Design and appropriateness of signs in relation to the architectural style of the building.
No signs are proposed as part of this application.
7. Glazing or image reflective surfaces (specular reflectance) shall be limited to a maximum reflectance value of twenty-five percent (25%). "Specular reflectance" means any mirror like reflection, as contrasted to diffused reflection from such surfaces as concrete or vegetation.
A condition of approval has been added to the project that glazing or image reflective surfaces (specular reflectance) shall be limited to a maximum reflectance of 25%.
F) Parcel Map
The Venue at Orange project is constructed on two legal parcels with three Assessor Parcel Numbers (two north of Orange Avenue and one south). The portion south of Orange Avenue (APN:
0292-482-01-0000) is a 9.2-acre partially developed parcel, and the applicant is proposing to subdivide this partially developed parcel into two parcels. As proposed, Parcel 1 will be 5.9 gross acres and is developed with 105 residential units. Parcel 2 will be 3.2 gross acres, is currently vacant, and is the proposed location for the 164 Density Bonus Units. Both resulting lots will be consistent with the RMC and the new lot will meet the minimum width, depth, and lot area requirements for the EV/2500 District.
RMC Chapter 17.11.080 allows the approving body at its discretion to waive all or part of the requirements for a tentative map for any division of real property which would require a parcel map. The applicant is requesting to waive the preparation and approval of a tentative map for the proposed project (which will assist in streamlining the development of the proposed project). To waive the tentative map, the approving body must make a finding that the proposed division of land complies with requirements listed in the Municipal Code, the General Plan, the Subdivision Map Act, and related to overall improvement and design.
G) Socio-Economic Cost / Benefit Study
In accordance with the Principals of Managed Development Element of the General Plan, a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study (Attachment J) has been completed for the project. Based on the cost/benefit model utilized by the City, the project provides a positive cost/benefit ratio of 1.28 over the period of 2025-2034 (and results in positive net revenue to the City after development). This project will provide the City approximately $141,542 in new revenue, will incur costs to the City of $107,219 to provide public services and facilities, and result in net revenue of $34,321 annually. The project will not create an unmitigable physical blight or overburden public services in the community.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project qualifies for exemption from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15332 (Class 32) pertains to infill development sites and the proposal meets all criteria for this exemption as listed below.
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses;
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

In the event the tenant experiences a change of income from the time a notice of termination is served and the tenant vacates, and the change of income would qualify the tenant for the Affordable Unit, the tenant shall have the right to remain in the Affordable Unit on the same terms and conditions as the terminated lease, except for any changes permitted by the lease, this Agreement, or applicable law.
(j) Prohibition Against Discrimination. Developer shall not discriminate against any tenant or potential tenant on the basis of sex, color, race, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, pregnancy, marital status, familial status, family composition, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, source of income, disability, veteran or military status, genetic information, or the potential or actual occupancy of minor children. Developer further agrees to take affirmative action to ensure that no such person is discriminated against for any of the above mentioned reasons by its agents or employees. (k) Management Plan. Developer shall prepare a management plan for the Affordable Units that provides for the implementation of the requirements in this Agreement, including but not limited to the marketing of the Affordable Units, tenant selection criteria and process, waiting list management, verification of income, setting utility allowances for Affordable Rent, and any other matter related to management of the Affordable Units (“Management Plan”).
The Management Plan shall include specific affirmative marketing plans that are intended to make the Affordable Units available for occupancy to Qualifying Households as soon as practical after issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Density Bonus Units. The Management Plan shall be submitted to the City Manager, or its designee, for approval, which the City shall make a good faith effort to approve within a reasonable period of time, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and attached as Exhibit (C) to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference.
The City's Planning Commission shall have the right to review the Management Plan prior to City approval.
(l) Annual Report. On or before the annual anniversary of the recording of this Agreement, and the same date each year thereafter, Developer shall provide the City with an annual report that sets forth the number of Affordable Units that are rented or vacant, the dates of any vacancies and new leases by each Affordable Unit, certification of compliance with all requirements to verify income for Qualifying Households, the cost of utilities for the Affordable Units and any charges to tenants of the Affordable Units for the utilities, and any other information reasonably required by the City to ensure compliance with this Agreement.

AGENDA VERSION
12 8. Term. The Term of this Agreement shall begin upon execution of this Agreement by both Parties and shall end fifty-five (55) years from the date the fiftieth (50th) Affordable Unit is rented to an Affordable Household. Pursuant to Paragraph 3(b)(iv) of this Agreement, each individual Affordable Unit approved by the City shall be rented to Very Low Income Households for a period of fifty-five (55) years, which period shall commence on the date the individual Affordable Unit is rented to a Very Low Income Household. After the fifty-five (55) year period lapses for an individual Affordable Unit, it shall no longer be required to be leased to a Very Low Income Household.
9. Agreement to be Recorded; Priority. Within sixty (60) days of execution of this Agreement, it shall be recorded in the Official Records of San Bernardino County, California as senior, non-subordinate covenants and as an encumbrance running with the land for the full Term of this Agreement. In no event shall this Agreement be made junior or subordinate to any deed of trust or other document providing financing for the construction or operation of the Project or any other lien or encumbrance whatsoever for the entire fifty-five (55) year Term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the City shall have the discretion to subordinate this Agreement to regulatory restrictions of public lender(s) restricting occupancy of units in the Project to Affordable Housing. Upon a determination by the City Manager that the conditions in this Paragraph have been satisfied, the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee will be authorized to execute the approved subordination agreement without the necessity of any further action or approval by the City Council. The terms of this Paragraph 9 are not applicable to the Financial Assistance Concession.
10. Liquidated Damages. Developer acknowledges that the City is implementing the goals, objectives and policies of the City’s General Plan Housing Element, and that City has granted incentives and/or concessions to Developer in recognition of Developer’s designation of fifty (50) Affordable Units. However, it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of the damages to City, therefore, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, City may have, Developer and City agree that if the Affordable Units in the Project are not rented with Affordable Rents in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as liquidated damages, City shall be entitled to recover from Developer the amount of any rents received by Developer from any units in excess of the limits of Affordable Rent. This liquidated damages provision relates solely and exclusively to a breach of this Agreement arising from renting the Affordable Units on terms that exceed the limits of Affordable Rent. Nothing in this Liquidated Damages clause shall limit or be construed to limit City’s right to recover the City Loan for a breach of the Loan Agreement or enforce the City’s rights under the Loan Agreement or the Deed of Trust securing the City Loan.
11. Indemnification. Developer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City and its officers, agents, employees, representatives, and volunteers (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, liability, claim or judgment relating in any manner to this Density Bonus Agreement. Developer shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees for liability attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees, provided such Redlands Regular Meeting of 10/01/24

AGENDA VERSION
13 negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where an Indemnitee is shown to have been negligent and where Indemnitees’ negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Developer will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the negligence of Indemnitees.
12. City’s Right to Inspect Affordable Units. City may inspect the Affordable Units and any Candidate Units at any reasonable time for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, subject to reasonable notice to the tenant of an Affordable Unit(s) or Candidate Unit, to determine Developer’s compliance with this Agreement. Subject to any requirements of federal or state law, upon request by City, Developer (or its agent or successors or assigns responsible for management of the Project) shall provide notice to a tenant of any inspection pursuant to this Paragraph 12.
13. Defaults and Remedies. City shall have the right to specifically enforce each and every covenant, condition, restriction, and provision in this Agreement and Developer hereby agrees and acknowledges that money damages are an inadequate remedy for any default under this Agreement.
(a) Default. A party shall be in default of this Agreement if it breaches any term or provision of this Agreement, and fails to correct the violation within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party; provided, however, if a longer period to cure the violation is reasonably necessary, and the party in breach of the Agreement is diligently pursuing a cure, then it shall have a reasonable time necessary to cure the breach, but not to exceed ninety (90) days.
(b) Remedies. Upon a default of this Agreement, City may institute any appropriate legal actions or proceedings necessary to enforce this Agreement, including but not limited to actions for injunctive relief or damages. The remedies allowed under this Agreement include enforcement of all requirements of Developer to comply with the Redlands Municipal Code, the Entitlements, and any and all remedies allowed under the Redlands Municipal Code for violations of its provisions. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not limit any remedies available under the Loan Agreement.
14. Waiver. Failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, or the failure by a Party to exercise its rights upon the default of the other Party, shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to insist and demand strict compliance by the other Party with the terms of this Agreement thereafter.
15. Attorney’s Fees. In the event any action is commenced to enforce or interpret the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall, in addition to any costs and other relief, be entitled to the recovery of its reasonable attorney’s fees, including fees for use of in-house counsel by a Party.

MEMORANDUM
At your request, Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) prepared a financial analysis of the proposed development on a 3.2 acre portion of the property located at 1600 Orange Avenue (Site). Luxview Properties (Developer) submitted an application to the City of Redlands (City) to use the California Government Code Section 65915 et seq. (Section 65915) density bonus to allow 164 units to be developed on the Site.
Section 65915 (d)(2) allows the Developer to request concessions or incentives that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.
1 One of the concessions being
requested by the Developer is a $1.5 million loan from the City that will be forgiven over a 55-year period.
The purpose of the following KMA analysis is to determine whether the assistance being requested is required to make the “Proposed Project” financially feasible.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The results of the following KMA analysis can be summarized as follows:
1 Section 65915 does not identify any differences between what constitutes a concession versus an incentive. The term concession is used from this point forward in this analysis.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The City previously approved the 328 unit Venue at Orange for development on the Site. In December 2022, the Developer submitted a Section 65915 density bonus application to the City. The fundamental terms are:
1. The Section 65915 density bonus requirements are calculated using the base density allowed under the Site’s zoning standards. The Site’s base zoning allows for the development of 328 units.
2. The Developer is proposing to provide 50 very low income units in the Proposed Project. This represents 15% of the units allowed by the Site’s base zoning.
3. Under Section 65915 (f)(2) the Developer is entitled to a 50% density bonus.
4. A 50% density bonus applied to 328 base zoning units allows for an additional 164 units to be developed:
a. 114 additional market rate units; and
b. 50 very low income units.
5. Section 65915 (d)(2)(C) allows the Developer to request three concessions. The Developer requested the following concessions:
a. An increase in building height from three to four stories; b. An increase in a perimeter wall fence height requirement from six to eight feet; and

c. A $1.5 million loan from the City that would be forgiven over a 55-year term.
6. Section 65915 (e)(1) prohibits a jurisdiction from applying any development standard that will have the effect of precluding the construction of a project at the density allowed by Section 65915 (b). The Developer is requesting six development standards waivers under the auspices of this provision.
