Resolution No. 8684 Procedures for City Welcome Monument Signs Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker explained the need to establish procedures for the placement of non-profit service club placards on City welcome monument signs. Installed in 2017, as part of an effort to showcase the various non-profit service club organizations that are active in the community, there are four such welcome monuments that display registered 501(c)(3) non-profit service club placards in the City, FCS has received requests to add additional organizations to these welcome monuments, but currently there is no procedure or policy to guide this process. Resolution No. 8684 provides criteria that would be required for a service club to be considered for placement on the monuments: 1) a procedure for submitting the request, 2) an outline of the approval process, and 3) a process for installing and maintaining the placards. As public comment, Andy Hoder pointed out that the welcome sign at Jennie Davis Park is blocked by an overgrown city tree, and he requested it be trimmed, so the sign was visible to all.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 13 of 690
SBCTA Measure I Impacts on Transportation & Planning Improvements Mayor Saucedo introduced Tim Watkins, Chief of Legislative & Public Affairs of the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), who provided a presentation on SBCTA's role in the community and how Measure I impacts transportation planning and improvements within the City. Overwhelmingly approved by the voters in 2004, Measure I is a half-cent general sales tax that supports transportation projects in San Bernardino County.

SBCTA is committed to delivering a better transportation system and continues to offer more choices for how people move to and through the county. He listed various projects that have provided great value to Redlands, including the widening of I-10 and Alabama Street Interchange, I-10 and University Avenue Interchange, Interchange Improvements at University & Colton, Traffic Signal Installation at Dearborn Avenue & Colton, and the Redlands Passenger Rail Project.

He encouraged the public to go to the SBCTA home page (gosbcta.com), take a survey and provide feedback. As public comment, Steve Rogers said that Mr. Watkins outlined the many success stories of SBCTA but did not address the challenges facing Measure I. In particular, he thought that funding sources could be negatively impacted by the increase in electric vehicle sales.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Ordinance No. 2985 & Resolution No. 8700 Housing Element Work Program Mayor Saucedo declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on City Planner/Planning Manager Brian Foote for a report to consider Ordinance No. 2985 and Resolution No. 8700 to update housing definitions, zoning regulations, and related municipal code amendments to implement the 2021-2029 Housing Element work program. The City's certified 2021-2029 Housing Element includes several tasks and programs identifying updates to the Zoning Ordinance (Title 18 of the Redlands Municipal Code) to facilitate the construction of new housing units and make it easier for people to find housing opportunities.

Through the Housing Element, the City is required to plan for the provision of its share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as well as amend or add regulations to facilitate housing affordability and more housing opportunities.

The proposed Ordinance to amend the Zoning Regulations (RMC Title 18) as well as Resolution No. 8700 to amend various Specific Plans will update several regulations and development standards that are applicable to housing developments in the City of Redlands.

These amendments are specifically designed to implement the 6th Cycle Housing Element's work program and must align with State law. He reviewed the Housing Element Policy goals designed to 1) Increase the variety of housing options available, 2) Reduce barriers to the production of new housing, 3) Identify and reduce governmental constraints, 4) Make housing options more accessible, and 5) Make housing options more affordable. He identified the various tasks and programs intended to implement and achieve the stated goals, as well as plan for the construction of 3,516 future housing units (known as RHNA). HCD was involved in guiding the drafting, and ultimately the approval of each goal, task, and program. By adopting the proposed code amendments, the City of Redlands will be in compliance with the State-mandated goals and objectives.

The Planning Commission held public hearings on April 8, 2025, and May 27, 2025, to CC_July 1, 2025

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 14 of 690
review the proposed zoning code amendments, specific plan amendments, and related municipal code amendments. The Commission reviewed the proposal in detail and suggested some minor changes for clarity. On May 27, 2025, the Commission voted 6 to 0 and recommended approval to the City Council.

As public comment, Bruce Laycook was in full support of these revisions, but urged the Council to be serious about addressing the lack of low-income and very low-income housing opportunities. Steve Rogers disapproved of the proposed documents, as he thought the city was favoring developers over residents, and he was critical of the state's preemption of local housing policies. Two letters were received as written comment, from Stephen Rogers and Amanda Frye, who requested this matter be tabled to allow staff to work with Counsel to make comprehensive modifications and updates needed to be in compliance with the law and eliminate any inconsistencies with California Code.

Council Member Davis asked for a sense of how many low-income and very low-income housing units are projected to be built. Development Services Director Desatnik clarified that currently, the City has approved two projects that will each offer 25 units that are considered very-low income units. When asked about the role of the City in regard to housing projects, Director Desatnik stated it was not the City's role to develop housing projects but rather to make sure the land is available and that it is zoned properly and there are no undue constraints which would inhibit development. With no further discussion, Mayor Saucedo closed the public hearing.

On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8700 and determined that the proposal is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(B)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; and introduced Ordinance No. 2985 and determined that the proposal is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, to update housing definitions, zoning regulations, and related municipal code amendments to implement the 2021-2029 Housing Element work program.

Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
Resolution No. 8694 Delinquent Administrative Citation and Fine Report Mayor Sauced declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker for a review of Resolution No. 8694, approving the Delinquent Administration Citation Fine Report and submittal to the Auditor-Controller of San Bernardino County for lien processing. Ms. Crocker described the administrative citation program and explained that staff makes every attempt to work with the property owner to comply with the Municipal Code before issuing citations. She added the program was complaint-driven. The property owners, identified in the reports, have been found in violation of various sections of the Redlands Municipal Code.

Property owners with outstanding violations were mailed a notice of the City Council's consideration of this report and were instructed to remit the past due balance in order to prevent the impending lien action. The current total amount of delinquencies for the citations is $27,985. With no further comments, the public hearing was closed.

On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, the City Council unanimously adopted, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8694 and approved the delinquent fines report and submittal of a Notice of Lien to the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector for recordation as a special assessment on the 2025-2026 tax roll against the properties identified in the report resulting from non-payment of City of Redlands' administrative citation fines.

Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
Ordinance No. 2986 Designate 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zones Mayor Saucedo declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Fire Marshal Vince Anderson to summarize Ordinance No. 2986, to amend Chapter 15.20 of Redlands Municipal Code to designate the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zones as developed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire). This ordinance formalizes the City's recognition of updated wildfire risk areas to support public safety, guide land use planning, and align with state fire prevention standards.

Council Member questions centered on defensible space, infrastructure protection, insurance companies with the authority to cancel homeowner polices, and the requirements for new building project developments within the high fire zones. Mayor Pro Tem Shaw recommended the maps be adjusted and revised more frequently, as necessary. With the recent wildfire that broke out in San Timoteo Canyon over the weekend, Mr. Anderson was pleased to announce the early warning notification system worked well and was a great success story.

As public comment, Bruce Laycook appreciated the work done by Fire Marshal Anderson, but called on the Council to collaborate with the State Insurance Commissioner to address homeowner policy cancellations affecting Redlands residents. With no further comments, Mayor Saucedo closed the public hearing.

On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2986 amending Chapter 15.20 of the Redlands Municipal Code to designate the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps, as developed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) for the City of Redlands.

NEW BUSINESS
Resolution No. 8696 Adopting Climate Action Plan Update Associate Planner Jazmin Serrato provided background on Resolution No. 8696 adopting the Climate Action Plan Update. The two primary objectives of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update include: 1) To monitor progress toward the 2030 and 2035 Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) reduction targets established in the City’s 2017 Climate Action Plan, and 2) To update the 2017 CAP to reflect the latest climate science and State guidance, as well as align with new City and State targets for 2030 and 2050.

The CAP provides goals and recommendations to reduce emissions of GHG into the atmosphere, thus helping to improve air quality as well as slow the progression of warming CC_July 1, 2025

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 16 of 690
temperatures in the climate. The goals and recommendations include actions by the City, developers, residents, and businesses in Redlands that will result in incremental reductions to GHG emissions over the next 20 years or more. The CAP can also help with streamlining environmental review of proposed development projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The updated CAP includes 12 quantifiable measures and 46 supportive measures which would promote collaboration between local organizations, expansion of sustainability programs, and increased environmental education.

Ms. Serrato introduced Clare Kucera, Associate of Dyett & Bhatia, Urban and Regional Planners, who presented a more detailed look at the CAP update, with a review of the timeline, an overview of the CAP requirements and a summary of the Preferred Strategy approach. Through a series of charts and graphs, she illustrated the current amount of total annual emissions and where we need to be to meet the new targets. The two largest contributors to total emissions in Redlands are: the transportation sector, specifically from on-road vehicles, and the built environment sector (emissions associated with electricity generation as well as combustion of natural gas). The proposed GHG reduction strategy framework aligns with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) recommendations for local jurisdictions to focus on actions that most effectively reduce GHGs.

The Planning Commission reviewed the progress of the Climate Action Plan at two meetings.

On June 11, 2024, the Commission received a progress report regarding the City’s status on the previously adopted GHG reduction goals, as well as confirming the new GHG reduction target of 1.0 metric tons of CO2  equivalent by 2050 in accordance with new Statewide goals.

On April 22, 2025, the Commission reviewed the proposed strategies and policy objectives for reducing citywide GHG emissions. Commissioners expressed comments supportive of expanding accessibility to public EV charging infrastructure and increasing the number of urban trees.

As public comment, Ron Running and Dick Corneille, representing ANCA, supported the update overall and thought the Plan was a comprehensive document, but voiced concerns that the City needed to take this new CAP much more seriously than the past plan, where the modest goals set in the 2017 CAP were not even met. They recommended the City place their focus on the list of "Supporting Strategies" as identified in CAP Table 4.2, as these strategies are more cost-effective and easier to implement. Bobby Garrity supported the CAP update but urged the Council to continue to push for zoning and policy reforms that allow for higher density and infill projects that encourage residents to utilize available transit options. Michael Paisner thought the CAP update read more like a fairy tale than a realistic plan. Bruce Laycook urged the Council to work with state representatives to modify the current law, Net Energy Metering (NEM 3.0) that pays solar customers a lower rate for exported energy than the previous version.

Council Member Davis supported the CAP, but said we must go further, and she spelled out a four-point action plan setting an ambitious approach to address the effects of climate change.

Council Members had a lengthy discussion and raised issues with the plan's recommendations to increase the number of EV chargers throughout the city, which seemed unrealistic. They questioned the power grid's capacity and reliability and asked about whether funding sources were available for project implementation. Overall, the Council Members agreed the City must take steps to try to meet the new GHG reduction target of 1.0 metric tons of CO 2  equivalent by 2050.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING TITLE 18
(ZONING REGULATIONS) OF THE REDLANDS MUNICIPAL CODE TO
MAKE TEXT AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO: HOUSING DEFINITIONS; LISTS OF PERMITTED AND CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USES; ADOPT

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR LOW BARRIER NAVIGATION
CENTERS; ADOPT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR FARMWORKER
AND AGRICULTURAL WORKER HOUSING; ADOPT DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS FOR SINGLE-ROOM OCCUPANCY FACILITIES; ADD
CHAPTER 17.12 FOR URBAN LOT SPLITS TO TITLE 17 OF THE

AND OTHER VARIOUS TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING
REGULATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT’S WORK PROGRAM.

WHEREAS, the City has initiated Ordinance Text Amendment No. 361 in accordance with Chapter 18.204 of the Redlands Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City of Redlands faces a serious housing problem and the lack of access to affordable housing has a direct impact upon the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City; and
WHEREAS, the California Legislature has consistently recognized the continuing need for affordable housing in California, stating in Government Code Section 65580, that "the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing… is a priority of the highest order" and, further, that, "local… governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community"; and WHEREAS, affordable housing is regulated by a variety of state and local laws, ordinances, and policies, and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requires the City to provide for the development of a specified number of housing units. The City’s Housing Production allocation for the 2021-2029 allocation cycle calls for the development of 2,234 new affordable housing units as follows: 652 units are needed for moderate-income households, 615 units are needed for low-income households and 967 units are needed for very low and extremely low-income households; and
WHEREAS, a lack of new units affordable to very-low, low and moderate-income households within the City will have a substantially negative impact because: (1) housing will have to be built far from employment centers, which will increase commuting and negatively impact traffic, air and noise pollution, and (2) the City and employers within the City will find it difficult to recruit and retain employees; and
Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 37 of 690
2 I:\cmo\Ordinances\2985 Amending Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) - Adoption.docx-ms WHEREAS, the State of California requires each city to develop a general plan establishing policies for future development. As specified in the Government Code, the general plan must: (i) encourage the development of a variety of housing types for all income levels; (ii) assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low and moderate-income households; and (iii) conserve and improve the condition of the existing affordable housing stock, which may include addressing ways to mitigate the loss of dwelling units demolished by public or private action; and
WHEREAS, the City has authority under its police power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, by imposing land use regulations that that will provide additional housing that is affordable to all income levels that is dispersed throughout the City; and WHEREAS, the implementation of this ordinance will aid the City in achieving the goal of making housing availability more diverse, dispersed, and affordable; and WHEREAS, on May 6, 2025, the Secretary to the Planning Commission gave notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation of the holding of a public hearing by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, on April 8, 2025, and May 27, 2025, the Planning Commission held a noticed public hearing and considered the testimony and written evidence submitted by City staff, the public, and other interested persons; and
WHEREAS, on May 27, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that Ordinance Text Amendment No. 361 be approved, in conjunction with Amendment No. 53 to the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Specific Plan 40) and related amendments to other residential Specific Plans in the City; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code sections 65090 and 65854, on or about June 10, 2025, the City Clerk gave notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation of the holding of a public hearing at which Ordinance No. 2985 would be considered by City Council; and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2025, the City Council held a noticed public hearing at which interested persons had an opportunity to testify in support of, or opposition to, Ordinance No. 2985; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; and WHEREAS, after closing the public hearing and deliberating upon the matter, the City Council finds that approval of the proposed text amendments to the Redlands Municipal Code and Specific Plans will be in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. California Environmental Quality Act. The proposed Ordinance Text Amendment does not require environmental review in accordance with Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), this proposal is an organizational or administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore not a project. Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), this proposal is exempt from CEQA review because there is no possibility that the zoning code amendment may have a significant effect on the environment, insofar as it would amend text of the zoning regulations of the City and would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment within the City. Accordingly, no further environmental review is necessary.

SECTION 2. Chapter 18.08 of the Redlands Municipal Code, entitled “Definitions and Construction,” is hereby amended to add Sections 18.08.527, 18.08.528, and 18.08.542, as follows:
“18.08.238: EMPLOYEE HOUSING:

A. “Employee housing” means both of the following:

1. Qualified employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 17021.5(b), shall be deemed a single-family dwelling and is allowed in residential zones. Employee housing is subject to all Municipal Codes, regulations, and other standards generally applicable to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.

2. Qualified employee housing providing accommodations for seven or more employees and consisting of no more than thirty six (36) beds in group quarters or twelve (12) units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17021.6(b), shall be deemed an agricultural land use and is allowed in such zones for agricultural use or an equivalent agricultural district within a City approved Specific Plan. Employee housing is subject to all Municipal Codes, regulations, and other standards generally applicable to other agricultural activity in the same zone.

B. Employee housing is not included within the definition of a boarding house, rooming house, single room occupancy residence, hotel, dormitory, or other similar term that implies that the employee housing is a business run for profit or differs in any other way from a family dwelling.

C. Employee housing does not include housing that is provided by someone other than an agricultural employer or an agent thereof if such housing is offered and rented to nonagricultural employees on the same terms that it is offered to agricultural employees, none of the occupants of the housing are employed by the owner or property manager of the housing, none of the occupants of the housing have rent deducted from their wages, Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 39 of 690
4 I:\cmo\Ordinances\2985 Amending Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) - Adoption.docx-ms negotiation of the terms of occupancy of the housing is conducted between each occupant and the owner or manager of the property, the occupants of the housing are not required to live in the housing as a condition of employment, and the occupants of the housing are not referred to live in the housing by the employer of the occupants or the employer’s agent, or an agricultural employer.

D. "Employee" as used in this section does not include a person engaged in household domestic service or a person employed under circumstances in which his or her wages are incidental to professional training or training for a religious vocation and where the employer is exempt from taxation under the California Constitution. In addition to the requirements of this section, employee housing shall comply with the requirements of the Employee Housing Act (Calif. Health & Safety Code, section 17000 et seq.).” “18.08.240: FAMILY:
"Family" means an individual or group of two or more persons living together in a dwelling unit, with common access to, and common use of all living, kitchen, and eating areas within the dwelling unit on a continuous non-transient basis. Each member of the family has access to all parts of the dwelling; interact with each other; share meals; and/or share household activities. If the dwelling unit is rented, all adult residents have chosen to jointly occupy the entire premises of the dwelling unit, under a single written lease with joint use and responsibility for the premises. Further, the makeup of the household occupying the rental is determined by the residents of the dwelling unit rather than the landlord, property manager, or agency. The term “family” shall not include institutional group living situations such as dormitories, fraternities, sororities, monasteries, convents, or similar group living arrangements whose association is temporary or of limited duration (i.e., school term, completion of a program, rehabilitation, etc.); nor does it include group living arrangements such as boarding houses, single-room occupancy residences, hotels, or motels. Indications that a household may not be operating as a “family” may include but are not limited to: members of the household have separate, private entrances; each member of the household has locks or deadbolts on their bedroom door; members of the household have separate food storage facilities; members have restricted access to certain portions of the dwelling; and/or lease a specific room or portion of the dwelling.”
“18.08.168: COMMUNITY CARE FACILITY:
"Community care facility" has the same meaning as in California Health & Safety Code section 1502. A community care facility for not more than six persons (excluding members of the resident family or persons employed as facility staff) which may operate on a 24-hour-a-day basis within the meaning of the Community Care Facilities Act is a "dwelling" in the individual zone chapters. Whether or not unrelated persons are living together, a residential care facility that serves six or fewer persons (excluding members of the resident family or persons employed as facility staff) shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of these zoning regulations (Calif. Health & Safety Code, section 1568.0831). A community care facility is subject only to those restrictions that Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 40 of 690
5 I:\cmo\Ordinances\2985 Amending Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) - Adoption.docx-ms apply to other dwellings of the same type within the same zone in the individual zone chapters.”
“18.08.320: HOSPITAL:
"Hospital" means any building or portion thereof used for the in-patient accommodation and licensed medical care of sick, injured, or infirm persons, and includes sanitariums, alcoholic sanitariums, and commercial institutions for the cure of chronic drug addicts and mental patients.”
“18.08.527: SUPPORTIVE HOUSING:
"Supportive housing" means either:

1. Supportive housing occupied by the target population, as those terms are defined in California Government Code section 65582; or

2. Supportive housing occupied by the target population, as those terms are defined in California Government Code section 65650.

Supportive housing is a "dwelling" in the individual zone chapters. Supportive housing occupied by the target population (as defined in Calif. Gov. Code section 65582) is subject only to those restrictions that apply to other dwellings of the same type within the same zone in the individual zone chapters. Supportive housing occupied by the target population (as defined in Calif. Gov. Code section 65650) is eligible for streamlined ministerial approval under Chapter 18.12, section 18.12.190 of this title, in zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted if the proposed housing development satisfies the requirements of California Government Code section 65651, subdivision (a).” “18.08.542: TRANSITIONAL HOUSING:
"Transitional housing" has the same meaning as in California Government Code section 65582. Transitional housing is a "dwelling" in the individual zone chapters. Transitional housing is subject only to those restrictions that apply to other dwellings of the same type within the same zone in the individual zone chapters.” SECTION 3. Redlands Municipal Code Section 18.20.030 for the Agricultural (A-1) District, entitled “Permitted Uses,” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Principal permitted uses in the A-1 district include:

Accessory public parking areas which serve existing public facilities such as parks, trails or linear parks, or similar public uses, pursuant to the review procedures set forth in section 18.12.190 of this title for lots containing ten thousand (10,000) square feet or less or twenty (20) spaces or fewer. In this instance, "accessory" shall mean that the parking area is accessory to the existing land use of either park, trail or linear park, or similar public use.

ii) Eight hundred (800) square-feet; four-foot side and rear setbacks.

Exceptions to the setbacks imposed by the underlying zone may be applied to the degree necessary to avoid physically precluding up to two units on the lot or either of the two units from being of at least eight hundred (800) square feet in floor area on the subject property; but in no event may any structure be less than four feet (4’) from a side or rear property line.

Setback requirements for an interior side lot line, where the interior lot line is shared between the two new parcels (and the lot line is perpendicular to the primary street frontage of both lots), may be modified to permit a zero foot (0’) side setback. The intent of this provision is to permit a shared wall between two new dwelling units on separate lots, so that the combined structure has the appearance from the street as one single-family residence. Designs with a shared common wall shall comply with all applicable California Building Code regulations, and the Director may require a Homeowners’ Association as well as CC&Rs for the subject properties. If this provision for a zero foot (0’) interior side setback is not utilized, then the standard setback requirement shall apply, and in no case shall be less than four feet (4’).

7. Utilities. Each primary dwelling unit on the lot that is or that is proposed shall comply with the development regulations applicable to the underlying zone.

8. Building & Safety. All structures built on the lot shall comply with all building code regulations applicable to the underlying zone.

City Council Meeting H. 5.

DATE: 07/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8706 pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 declaring that certain real property (located on the North side of Mentone Ave., South of Mill Creek Rd., East of Amethyst St., and West of Garnet St.; APN: 0168-343-01-0000) is surplus land, authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to send notices of availability as to the surplus lands, and determining that approval of the resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Assistant City Manager Boatman)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that the City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8706 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and

1. 2. I move to adopt Resolution No. 8706.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8706, pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 declaring that certain real property (located on the North side of Mentone Ave., South of Mill Creek Rd., East of Amethyst St., and West of Garnet St.; APN: 0168-343-01-0000) is surplus land, and finding that such declaration is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 111 of 690
DISCUSSION:

The City owns property in fee located on the North side of Mentone Ave., south of Mill Creek Rd., East of Amethyst St., and West of Garnet St. (APN:
0168-343-01-0000) and as more particularly described in Exhibit A of the attached resolution (the "Property").

In an effort to address the housing crisis throughout the state, the State Legislature revamped the Surplus Land Act (SLA) in 2019 to strengthen the right of first refusal for affordable housing developers to bid on local agency-owned surplus land. The SLA requires public agencies to comply with certain procedures when disposing of real property. The HCD has adopted guidelines to interpret the SLA. The SLA was recently amended by Assembly Bill 480 (Ting) Senate Bill 229 (Umbert). These changes took effect January 1, 2024.

The SLA requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of surplus land. Before a local agency may dispose of land subject to the SLA, the land must be declared either surplus land or exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings. For surplus land, the City must go through a formal process to offer the land to qualifying entities and negotiate with responsive parties.

Adoption of Resolution No. 8706 would declare the Property as surplus according to the findings supporting this determination. The Resolution also includes authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to send written notices of availability to appropriate public agencies as designated by the SLA.

Recipients of the notice would then have 60 days to indicate their interest in the purchase of the surplus land. If a recipient expresses interest in purchasing the property, the City must enter into good-faith negotiations for a period of not less than 90 days. The City is not, however, required to sell the land to the interested party. If terms of sale are not agreed upon following good-faith negotiation, the land may otherwise be disposed of or sold by the City.

Approval of Resolution No. 8706 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This section states that a project is exempt from CEQA if it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The recommended action is consistent with this Section as it only identifies certain property as surplus and will not have a physical effect on the environment. Any future project located on the properties will be subject to the appropriate environmental review.

Discussion:

There are minimal costs relative to the recommended action. Some direct costs will be incurred due to notices that must be mailed to the State, other agencies, and registered developers notifying them of the City’s surplus property list.

Sufficient funding for these costs are included in the Facilities and Community Services budget (101300) for Fiscal Year 2026-27 as adopted by City Council.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221 DECLARING

THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY (LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF MENTONE AVE., SOUTH OF MILL CREEK RD., EAST OF
AMETHYST ST., AND WEST OF GARNET ST.; APN: 0168-343-01-0000) IS

SURPLUS LAND, AND FINDING THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS

EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Redlands (the "City") acquired property located on the North side of Mentone Ave., South of Mill Creek Rd., East of Amethyst St., and West of Garnet St. in Mentone,CA; APN 0168-343-01-0000, as more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Property").

WHEREAS, the City is the fee simple owner of that Property.

WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (the “Act”) applies when a local agency disposes of “surplus land,” which is defined in the Act as “land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use.” (Government Code section 54221(b)(1).)
WHEREAS, under the Act, “local agency” means “every city, whether organized under general law or by charter, county, city and county, district, including school, sewer, water, utility, and local and regional park districts of any kind or class, joint powers authority, successor agency to a former redevelopment agency, housing authority, or other political subdivision of this state and any instrumentality thereof that is empowered to acquire and hold real property.” (Government Code section 54221(a)(1).)
WHEREAS, the Act requires local agencies such as the City to declare certain real property they own as either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land,” as supported by written findings, prior to any disposition of the real property.

WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed this Resolution and now desires to declare the Property as surplus land under the Act, based on the findings and justifications contained in this Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution and findings of the City Council.

SECTION 2: The City Council hereby declares that the Property is no longer necessary for the City’s use, and is therefore declared surplus pursuant to Government Code Section 54220 et. Seq. and based upon the following findings:

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 114 of 690
2 \\files\dept\CMO\cmo\Resolutions\8706 Surplus Land 0168-343-01-0000 (Mentone).docx-ms Finding: The land is surplus and is not necessary for the City’s use.

Evidence: The property was purchased for potential expansion of water facilities. The property is no longer required for future expansion.

SECTION 3: This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”).

City staff has determined that the mere designation of the Property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. Adoption of Resolution, in and of itself, does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Nothing in this Resolution commits the City to a particular course of action with respect to the proposed transfer of exempt surplus property.

SECTION 4: The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized and directed to send a copy of this Resolution to the California Department of Housing and Community Development in accordance with the requirements of Section 400(e) of the SLA Guidelines.

SECTION 5: If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.

SECTION 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 15th day of July, 2025.

City Council Meeting H. 6.

DATE: 07/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8709 for Street Vacation No. 198 - A request to vacate excess public right-of-way totaling approximately 6,850 square-feet in area, unimproved, and not in use for any public or roadway purposes. The subject portion of right-of-way is located on the west side of Wabash Avenue, approximately 110 feet northerly of East Sunset Drive North, and abutting Assessor's Parcel Numbers 0300-012-09-0100, 0300-012-10-0000, and
0176-481-08-0000. This proposal is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff's recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that the City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8709 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and

1. 2. I move to adopt Resolution No. 8709 and approve Street Vacation No. 198.

RECOMMENDATION:

On June 24, 2025, the Planning Commission determined the proposed Street Vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan, and recommended that the City Council approve Street Vacation No. 198.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 119 of 690
DISCUSSION:

The applicant is requesting to vacate an excess portion of public right-of-way consisting of approximately 6,850 square feet of unimproved land, which is considered right-of-way for a future planned public roadway, but has never been previously improved or used for any public roadway purposes. The subject portion of right-of-way is located on the west side of Wabash Avenue, approximately 110 feet north of East Sunset Drive North, and adjacent to three parcels located at the northwest corner of Wabash Avenue and E. Sunset Drive North (APNs: 0300-012-09-0100, 0300-012-10-0000, and 0176-481-08-0000).

See Attachment A for a Location Map and Aerial Photo.

The applicant requests to vacate the site to allow for future development of the adjacent properties. The subject site is located westerly of Wabash Ave, approximately 110 feet north of East Sunset Drive North (formerly known as Edgemont Drive), in an area known as “Sunset Heights.” When Sunset Heights was originally surveyed in the early 1900’s, a circuitous road alignment was planned for Edgemont Drive that was common for the era. The subject site was a part of the original alignment of that planned roadway, but was never improved or used for roadway purposes. In 1978, a subdivision map was approved over portions of the old road alignment to allow for development of the area.

Concurrently, a new roadway alignment was established for Sunset Avenue and constructed. With the establishment of the new Sunset Avenue alignment, the original right-of-way dedication became unnecessary, and is therefore now excess right-of-way (see Attachment B – Site Photo).

The subject portion of right-of-way varies in width between 50.5 feet (on the westerly edge) to 52.0 feet (on the easterly edge at Wabash Ave.), and varies in length between 130 feet (on the south edge) to 143 feet (on the north edge). The total land area is approximately 6,850 square feet (see Attachment C - Legal Description and Exhibit). If approved, the vacated land would return to the abutting two vacant properties (APNs 0300-012-09 and 0300-012-10) to enable possible future development. Due to the topography and hilly characteristics of the area (including these two parcels), the old right-of-way dedication inhibits realistic development potential on at least one of these parcels (APN 0300-012-10).

On June 24, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and adopted Resolution No. 1709, determining the street vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan (see Attachment D - Planning Commission Staff Report).

Pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code (which defines the general procedures for public street and easement vacations), the City Council may adopt a resolution summarily vacating a public street that has been Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 120 of 690
impassable for vehicular travel for a period of five consecutive years preceding vacation, and no public money was expended for maintenance on the street during such period. These findings can be made for the subject segment of the public road (which has not been developed or improved) and is identifiable as public right-of-way only on maps. Therefore, the summary vacation meets the criteria and may be approved.

Based on the conditions on the ground and the adjoining land uses, the subject right-of-way is not necessary for public access. Adjacent property owners do not need this right-of-way for access to their properties, as they obtain access from existing roadways (i.e., from their frontages on East Sunset Drive North). The proposed Street Vacation would not result in any negative impacts to the traffic-carrying capacity of the adjacent streets, since the area proposed to be vacated has been determined to be excess right-of-way by the City Engineer and is not currently in public use. The area to be vacated would be returned to the abutting property owner(s).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Street Vacation No. 198 will have no potentially significant effects on the environment and qualifies for exemption from environmental review in accordance with Section 15061 (b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(3) is the "general rule" exemption for projects where it can be seen with certainty that there will be no environmental effects as a result of the activity.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may:

1. Continue the matter to allow for additional information; or,

2. Not adopt the Resolution.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND
The applicant requests to vacate the site to allow for future development of the adjacent properties. The subject site is located westerly of Wabash Ave, approximately 110 feet north of East Sunset Drive (formerly known as Edgemont Drive), in an area known as “Sunset Heights”. When Sunset Heights was originally surveyed in the early 1900’s, a circuitous road alignment was planned for Edgemont Drive that was common for the time. The subject site was a part of the original alignment of the road. In 1978, a subdivision map was approved over portions of the old road alignment to allow for development of the area, and a new roadway alignment was established for Sunset Avenue and improved. With the establishment of the new Sunset Avenue alignment, the original right-of-way dedication became excess and unnecessary (see Attachment B – Site Photos)
The subject portion of right of way is approximately 51 feet wide with a total area of approximately 6,850 square feet (see Attachment C - Legal Description and Exhibit).

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to State law, the City may regulate traffic on its public streets, alleys, and walkways only to the extent expressly authorized. The law permits the City to vacate a street, alley, or walkway upon a finding supported by substantial evidence that the right of way is no longer needed for vehicular or pedestrian traffic and is unnecessary for present or prospective use.

California Government Code Section 65402(a) requires that prior to considering a vacation or abandonment of any public right-of-way, the planning agency (i.e., Planning Commission) shall review the matter and render a determination as to the proposal’s conformity with the City’s General Plan.

The 2035 General Plan’s “Connected City” chapter, “Figure 5-4: Proposed Roadway Improvements” does not show the subject portion of unimproved roadway. Similarly, “Figure 5-5 Roadway Classification” shows the existing alignment of Sunset Drive that was previously approved and developed by the underlying residential subdivision. In addition, the proposal will be consistent with General Plan Action 5-A.39, "Allow the City Engineer to adjust road standards where needed, based on actual conditions on the ground such as right-of-way availability, traffic volumes, and adjoining land uses”.

Therefore, if approved, Street Vacation No. 198 will not conflict with any General Plan map or designation.

Based on the conditions on the ground and the adjoining land uses, the subject right-ofway is not necessary for public access. Adjacent owners do not need this right-of-way for access to their properties, as they obtain access from existing roadways (i.e., from their Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 126 of 690
frontages on East Sunset Drive North). The proposed Street Vacation would not result in any negative impacts to the traffic-carrying capacity of the adjacent streets since the area proposed to be vacated has been determined to be excess right-of-way by the City Engineer and is not currently in public use.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Street Vacation No. 198 will have no significant effects or potentially significant effects on the environment as a result of this proposal, and qualifies for exemption from environmental review in accordance with Section 158061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

FINDINGS
The Planning Commission may find and determine that the requested street vacation is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that Street Vacation No. 198 is in conformity with the City’s General Plan.

MOTIONS
“I move that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1709 and determine that Street Vacation No. 198 for a portion of unused roadway adjacent to Wabash Avenue is in conformity with the City’s General Plan.”

DATE: 07/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8708 for Street Vacation No. 199 - A request to vacate portions of excess right-of-way on Domestic Avenue totaling 8,149 square feet in area, located on the east side of Interstate 210 and approximately 2,400 feet west of Texas Street, adjacent to Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0167-932-55-0000 and 0167-06-101-0000. This proposal is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that the recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that the City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8708 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and

1. 2. I move to adopt Resolution No. 8603 and approve Street Vacation No. 199.

RECOMMENDATION:

On June 24, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and adopted Resolution No. 1708 determining the requested Street Vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan, and recommended approval (see Attachment B - Planning Commission Staff Report).

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 136 of 690
DISCUSSION:

Project Description: The applicant is requesting to vacate portions of excess right-of-way on Domestic Avenue totaling 8,149 square feet in unimproved land, and which have never been previously improved or used for public roadway purposes. The subject portion is located east of Interstate 210 and approximately 2,400 feet west of Texas Street, adjacent to Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0167-932-55-0000 and 0167-06-101-0000 (see Attachment A, Location Map and Aerial Photo).

Background: The applicant requests to vacate small portions of the Domestic Avenue right-of-way to accommodate a re-design of the street terminus for a knuckle design (rather than a cul-de-sac) at the end of Domestic Avenue, which will allow for coordinated development of the adjacent properties. The proposed vacation is between Tract No. 20336 (Specific Plan No. 64) and Tract No. 20528 (Specific Plan 64, Amendment 1). Tract No. 20336 is located on the north side of Domestic Avenue (the original Bergamot Specific Plan) and includes 317 residential lots and a new 12-acre public park, and is currently under construction. The Street Vacation must also be approved before the Final Map may be recorded for Tract No. 20336.

Following the approval of Tract No. 20336 and Specific Plan No. 64, a revision to the Specific Plan was submitted, which expanded the Specific Plan boundaries to include 15 acres on the south side of Domestic Avenue. Tentative Tract Map 20528 subdivided two vacant parcels into 117 residential lots as well as a new parking lot area for the new park to the north plus an extension of the Santa Ana River Trail.

Analysis: There are two portions of Domestic Avenue included in the request for vacation (see Attachment B, exhibit showing Street Vacation areas). The first portion is 124 feet long and 40 feet wide (total of 5,060 square feet) located at the western terminus of Domestic Avenue. The second portion is a remnant area of a cul-de-sac design from the subdivision to the north (Tract No. 20336) and totals 3,087 square feet. The requested vacations will accommodate a re-design for a knuckle at the westerly terminus of Domestic Avenue. Domestic Avenue does not provide any access to the 210 Freeway. Therefore, there is no potential access (vehicular or pedestrian) or uses that would be detrimentally affected by the vacated right-of-way. Domestic Avenue will then be constructed to its full width and improvements (including curbs, gutters, and sidewalks) between Tracts Nos. 20336 and 20528. The area to be vacated would be returned to the developer of the Bergamot Specific Plan (ultimately to be included in the area dedicated within the new public park, which the developer will subsequently dedicate to the City).

On June 24, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and adopted Resolution No. 1708, determining the street vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan (see Attachment B - Planning Commission Staff Report).

Pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code (which defines the general procedures for public street and easement vacations), the City Council may adopt a resolution summarily vacating a public street that has been impassable for vehicular travel for a period of five consecutive years preceding vacation, and no public money was expended for maintenance on the street during such period. These findings can be made for the subject portions along Domestic Avenue (which has not been developed or improved) and is identifiable as public right-of-way only on maps. Therefore, the summary vacation meets the criteria and may be approved.

Based on the conditions on the ground and the adjoining land uses, the subject right-of-way is not necessary for public access. Adjacent property owners (i.e., the developer of Specific Plan 64) nor the City need these small portions of right-of-way. Domestic Avenue will ultimately be constructed to its full width and improvements for future use by the public. The proposed vacation would not result in any negative impacts to the traffic-carrying capacity of the adjacent streets, since the area proposed to be vacated has been determined to be excess right-of-way by the City Engineer and is not currently in public use.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may:

1. Continue the matter to allow for additional information; or, Not adopt the Resolution (which would delay recording the Final Map for Tract No. 20336).

2. STRATEGIC PLAN:

Not applicable.

DATE: 07/15/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8705 to authorize a one-year time extension to the expiration date of Commission Review and Approval No. 918 for the construction of a 12,585 square-foot supportive housing facility (assisted living for seniors) with 28 beds, and related on-site improvements including driveways, parking lot, landscaping, and lighting on a one-acre property. The project site is a vacant lot located on the north side of North Place (APN: 0173-011-39-0000), approximately 400 feet east of S. Center Street, in the Residential Suburban (R-S) District (Development Services Director Desatnik) MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
"I move to adopt Resolution No. 8705 to approve a one-year extension of time for Commission Review and Approval No. 918."
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8705 to approve a one-year extension of time for Commission Review and Approval No. 918 for the construction of a 12,585 square-foot supportive housing facility (assisted living for seniors) with 28 beds, and related on-site improvements located on the north side of North Place (APN: 0173-011-39-0000), approximately 400 feet east of S.

Center Street, in the Residential Suburban (R-S) District.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 154 of 690

DISCUSSION:

The approved project includes the construction of a 12,585 square-foot supportive housing facility (assisted living for seniors) with 28 beds and related site improvements, including driveways, parking lot, landscaping, and lighting on a one-acre property. The project is located on the north side of North Place (APN: 0173-011-39-0000) within the Residential Suburban (R-S) District. See Attachment A (Location Map), Attachment B (Project Plans), and Attachment C (Planning Commission Staff Report).

The Redlands Planning Commission approved Commission Review and Approval No. 918 on September 13, 2022, and the Conditions of Approval were included in Resolution No. 1588 (Attachment D). On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved the first Extension of Time extending the entitlement for one year. The approval of the subject entitlement will expire on September 13, 2025, unless a grading or building permit has been issued to commence construction of the project, or an extension of time is granted. The applicant is currently completing construction plans to submit for building permits and engineering permits.

Approval of the time extension will make the new expiration date for this project September 13, 2026. No changes to the project are proposed, and the original Conditions of Approval remain applicable for the project. The applicant has indicated the approval of a one-year time extension will provide additional time to complete their building plans and submit them into Plan Check in July (although permits may not be issued prior to the current expiration date of September 13, 2025).

In accordance with RMC Section 18.12.130, a Commission Review & Approval permit shall expire two (2) years from the date of approval unless the holder of the permit obtains a permit and begins construction or obtains an extension of time. The City Council may grant a one-year extension of time, not to exceed a total number of three (3) extensions. This is the applicant’s second request for a time extension.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may deny the request, which would result in the expiration of Commission Review and Approval No. 918. This would require the applicant to resubmit an entirely new development application.

PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to construct a 12,585 square foot assisted living senior care facility for residents age 60 and older with associated on-site improvements including driveways, parking lot, landscaping, and lighting on a one acre site. The project site is located on the north side of North Place and approximately 400 feet east of Center Street in the R-S, Residential Suburban District (see Attachment A – Location Map). The proposed facility will contain 28 beds and will provide assistance and level of care as needed to residents including assistance with bathing, meal preparation, arrangements with transportation, and assistance with daily life activities (see Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 167 of 690
Attachment B – Project Plans). The facility will provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision to its residents, and any medical care will be arranged through licensed agencies and professionals. The facility will have staff present 24 hours daily, seven days per week to provide personal and supportive services to its residents.

BACKGROUND
Property History: There is no entitlement history related to the subject property. The project site is currently vacant and unimproved. The historic aerial photographs from 1938 showed the project site with orchards, which were removed sometime before 1959. The historic aerial photograph from 1959 shows the project site vacant and unimproved.

Housing Crisis Act of 2019: The "Housing Crisis Act of 2019" (SB 330 and SB 8) is applicable to the proposed project. The proposal for an assisted living facility for seniors is defined as "Supportive Housing" according to the Housing Crisis Act of 2019. State law was amended so that Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing facilities, as defined, could be built and operated in various residential land use districts, but with fewer zoning restrictions imposed by local agencies that had historically discouraged such facilities in residential areas (including single-family neighborhoods).

Government Code section 65589.5(h) defines a "housing development project" to include "transitional housing or supportive housing." The term supportive housing means housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population, and that is linked to an onsite or offsite service that assists the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community. The term target population means persons with low incomes who have one or more disabilities, and includes adults, elderly persons, emancipated minors, families with children, young adults aging out of the foster care system, veterans, and homeless people (among other populations).

Current State law also now imposes a higher standard upon a local agency if a qualified housing project is being considered for denial by the decision-making body. Government Code section 65589.5(j) states:
"When a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the application was deemed complete, but the local agency proposes to disapprove the project or to impose a condition that the project be developed at a lower density, the local agency shall base its decision regarding the proposed housing development project upon written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence on the record that both of the following conditions exist:

(A) The housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density. As used in this paragraph, a “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
(B) There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified pursuant to paragraph (1), other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density." Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 168 of 690
It should be noted that the required findings needed for approval of a Commission Review & Approval permit pertain to the site plan and proposed improvements needed for site development (and do not consider the proposed land use itself). In this case, the proposed residential care facility for seniors qualifies as a Supportive Housing project and is considered a permitted use in a residential zone, according to current State law.

A) General Plan Consistency
The project site is located within the ‘Low Density Residential’ land use designation of the General Plan, which allows for up to 6.0 dwelling units per acre (see Attachment C – General Plan Land Use Map). The intent of this land use category is to provide for areas of single-family residential development. The proposed facility will be developed as a one-story structure and is designed to blend with the surrounding neighborhood characteristics. The proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan policies (Chapter 4: Livable Community). 4-P.16: Promote a variety of housing types to serve the diverse needs of the community. 4-A.10: Promote availability of senior and independent assisted living facilities to meet the needs of the community’s aging population, distributed equitably throughout the community. 2021-2029 Housing Element: The city's updated Housing Element was recently adopted by the City Council in February 2022 (although the document is not yet certified and is still undergoing review by the California Department of Housing & Community Development for certification). The new Housing Element encourages new construction and the provision of supportive housing for target populations, as defined. Supportive and transitional housing is to be treated similarly to other types of residential uses.

B) Zoning
The project site is located within the R-S, Residential Suburban District (see Attachment D), which is intended to provide an environment conductive to the development of low density single-family homes. The proposed facility will meet all applicable development standards of the R-S district as summarized in Table 1 (next page). A detailed list of R-S development standards is provided in Attachment E, Table of R-S Development Standards.

Table 1. Summary of Development Standards for the R-S District C) Commission Review & Approval
Proposed Land Use: The proposed land use as a residential care facility with 28 beds for clients (e.g., seniors) qualifies as a Supportive Housing project under current State law, and therefore is considered a permitted use in the existing Residential Suburban (R-S) zone. Characteristics of the proposed use are primarily residential (i.e., a long-term assisted living facility). While there are some employees that will work in shifts at the proposed facility, the clients will be seniors that reside there permanently on a long-term basis yet need various levels of assistance to perform their activities of daily living.

Operational Characteristics: The facility will contain 28 beds and have eight employees present on the largest shift. Staff will be available on-site every day, 24 hours daily, to provide assistance with daily living activities and care activities. The facility will not provide any medical care; any medical care or treatment will be coordinated through licensed agencies and professionals.

Staff will arrange daily activities for residents and will have a published monthly calendar for families to join. Any planned activities for the residents will take place during daytime hours. The proposed visiting hours are encouraged from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. However, residents may receive visits at any time. The applicant has stated that they expect two visitors per day on average.

Parking: The proposed use is similar to a convalescent hospital/nursing home which requires one (1) space per three (3) beds and one (1) space per each employee on the largest shift. The applicant has indicated that during the largest shift there will be eight (8) employees present at the facility. The proposed project meets the minimum parking requirements as shown on the table below.

Proposed Use Parking Ratio Requirement Provided
Convalescent hospital/nursing home 1 space per 3 beds 10 spaces 10 Facility employees 8 employees 8 spaces 8
TOTAL: 18 spaces 18
Table 2. Parking Summary
Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 170 of 690
Vehicle Access & Circulation: The subject property and the neighboring property located on APN:
0173-011-40-0000 are both located on a flagged shaped lot. Access to the project site will be provided via a shared access driveway with the adjacent neighboring property (APN:
0173-011-40-0000). The property owner for the adjacent property (located on APN:
0173-011-40-0000) has reviewed the project plans and is okay with improvements that are shown on their property including the shared access driveway, the curb and gutter, and the landscaping planters. The proposed access easement will provide a combined 26-foot driveway for both properties for ingress and egress. Vehicles that enter the driveway on North Place will have access to the project site via the two-way driveway that merges into the project site.

At the front entrance of the facility there is a six (6’) foot tall security gate proposed to secure the property and monitor the individuals who enter the facility. A six (6’) foot CMU block wall in the style Santa Barbara and the color Swiss coffee white is proposed throughout the property to screen the proposed use and the parking lot from the adjacent neighboring properties.

Landscaping: Perimeter landscaping is proposed throughout the project site (see Attachment F – Landscaping Plans). As shown on the landscaping plans, the project site will be providing landscaping improvements on the adjacent flagged shaped property that is located on APN:
0173-011-40-0000. The landscaping improvements that are located along the shared access driveway will provide a cohesive entrance to the proposed assisted care facility.

The proposed plant palette will consist of a combination of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The landscaped plan includes a total of 58 trees consisting of Dwarf Naval Orange (24” box), Australian Willow (15 gallon and 24” box), Maidenhair tree (24” box and 36” box), Muskogee Crape Myrtle (24” box), Samuel Somer Magnolia (36” box), Saucer Magnolia (24” box), and Japanese Black Pine (24” box) trees. The landscaping plans provides approximately 5,163 square feet of landscaping within the parking lot area (or approximately 28%) of landscaping within the parking lot area, which exceed the minimum 7% parking lot area landscaping requirement. Overall the site provides 9,771 square feet of landscaping (or 22.4%) utilizing a combination of trees, shrubs, perennials, accept plans, and ground cover.

Elevation and Design: The proposed assisted care facility will be a one-story facility that is designed to resemble a residential structure. The property is located on a flagged shape lot and will be screened from view. The proposed building will have a synthetic smooth stucco finish in the color dove gray with aluminum clad windows (in the color charcoal gray) and a standing seam metal roof (in the color charcoal gray). Throughout the building, a wide variety of windows are proposed to provide natural lighting for each room within the facility. In addition, each room has an exterior door for ingress and egress purposes. Below the roof pitch, the building will have horizontal metal louvers (in the color black) to add texture and character to the overall design of the building. Along the front entrance of the building, a courtyard area and a pondless water feature is proposed to create a welcoming environment for the residents or visitors. At the rear of the property (east side of the building), an attached covered patio cover is proposed, a garden space, and a lattice gazebo to provide a tranquil outdoor recreation area.

D) Architectural Review Criteria
RMC Section 18.12.170 provides that the Planning Commission shall review the aspects of the design based on the criteria listed below. In addition, the city has adopted Architectural Design Guidelines (see Attachment G - Table of Architectural Design Guidelines) to provide additional guidance to developers. It is intended that design submittals be compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and that they be of comparable composition, materials, Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 171 of 690
adjacent and surrounding developments, and that they be of comparable composition, materials, textures, and colors. The proposal will be consistent with the code requirements as well as the applicable Architectural Design Guidelines.

1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another, as well as open spaces and topography.

The proposed development consists of the construction of a 12,585 square foot assisted care facility on a 1-acre parcel. Access to the project site will be provided via a shared access driveway on North Place Drive that will be shared with the adjacent property located on APN:
0173-011-40-0000. The proposed assisted care facility will be screened from view as the project site is located on a flagged shaped lot. The project is consistent with the development standards for the R-S (Residential Suburban) zoning district in terms of lot coverage, setbacks, building height, etc. The proposed assisted care facility has been designed to resemble a single-family residential structure to be compatible with the residential structures that are located within the vicinity of the project site.

2. Harmonious relationship of building with existing and proposed adjoining developments.

The project site is located within the R-S (Residential Suburban) zoning district which is primarily intended for the construction of single-family residential uses. The properties to the north, east, south, and west are also located within the R-S zoning district and are developed as single-family residential structures. The proposed assisted care facility will be a one-story building that will utilize exterior materials and finishes that are compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed building will be screened from the public right-of-way as the subject property is located on a flag-shaped lot.

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 development meets the development standards for the R-S (Residential Suburban) zoning district and is consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The height of the proposed assisted care facility is approximately 24 feet to the pitch of the roof. The maximum height within the R-S District is two and one-half (2 ½) stories or thirty-five feet (35’), and the proposed facility is consistent with the building height of the adjacent residential homes.

The proposed project complies with the setback requirements and the lot coverage requirements for the R-S District. The project site will be secured through a six (6’) foot CMU Santa Barbara style block wall in the color Swiss coffee white to screen the parking lot and project site from the surrounding uses.

4. Harmony of construction materials and colors in relation to all exterior elevations.

The proposed assisted care facility has been designed as a rustic modern house will have a synthetic smooth stucco finish in the color dove gray with aluminum clad windows in the color charcoal gray. The building will have a standing seam metal roof in the color charcoal gray and underneath the pitch of the roof the building incorporates black metal louvers. The building provides a variety of windows and doors that provide internal and external access to the bedrooms. Overall, the building has a simple design with a hipped roof, varying roof lines, and double hung windows.

5. Location and type of planting, with due regard for the preservation of specimen trees upon a site.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 172 of 690
The proposed development provides perimeter landscaping throughout the project site, including along the shared access driveway. The project will include a combination of trees, shrubs, groundcover, and accent plants. The site is required to provide at least 7% of landscaping within the parking area and the site provides 5,163 square feet of landscaping (or 28% of parking lot landscaping). Overall, the site provides 9,771 square feet of landscaping, which is approximately 22.4% of landscaping throughout the project site. The landscape plan consists of a combination of 15-gallon, 24” box, and 36” box trees, 5-gallon size shrubs, and a combination of perennials and ground cover. A total of 58 trees are proposed throughout the site and approximately 19 trees are located within the parking lot consisting of Dwarf Navel Orange, Australian Willow, Maidenhair tree, Muskogee Crape Myrtle, Samuel Sommer Magnolia, Saucer Magnolia, and Japanese Black Pine. An underground retention basin is located along the northwest corner of the project site which will be filled with gravel and will have a combination of trees, shrubs, and groundcover surrounding the underground retention basin. Overall, the landscaping plan shows a wide range of plant materials such as trees, shrubs, perennials, and ground cover to provide a variety of accent plants.

6. Design and appropriateness of signs in relation to the architectural style of the building.

The proposed assisted care facility is located within the R-S (Residential Suburban) zoning district and any proposed signage will utilize the sign code criteria for the A-P (Administrative and Professional Office) District which applies to nonresidential uses within any residential district where permitted by a conditional use permit. Any future signage will be reviewed administratively and would require a sign permit application. A Commission Sign Review application would be required for any future monument signs and would require separate Planning Commission approval.

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.

The proposed project includes a variety of windows to provide natural lighting to the building.

However, the specifications on the specular reflectance is not provided. A condition of approval requiring that the image reflective surface to be limited to a maximum reflectance value of 25% has been incorporated.

E) Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study
Measure U requires a socioeconomic cost/benefit study for projects involving structures larger than 5,000 square-feet, and a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study (see Attachment H) has been prepared for this project. According to the cost/benefit model used by the City, the proposed project will result in annual revenue totaling $8,208.50 and annual costs totaling $7,944.30; therefore, annual revenue generated by the project is anticipated to be approximately $264.20 and results in a positive cost/benefit ratio of +1.03. The proposed project will not create any physical blight or overburden public services in the community, and no additional information or evaluation is needed.

F) Public Comments
The project had been contemplated to go to the Planning Commission for a public hearing in summer 2021, but was not reviewed due to pending site access and design issues at that time (all of which have been satisfactorily resolved with City departments that reviewed the project plans). The mailed public notice generated numerous public comments from neighbors and Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 173 of 690
residents living near the project site, most of which were opposed (see Attachment I for the written public comments). A total of 28 emails are included, and one petition with nine names.

Many of the comments identify concerns about on-site parking, street parking (off-site), traffic and trip generation, vehicular access along a narrow street (North Place), increase in noise, decrease in property values, neighborhood quality, and neighborhood character.

As previously explained in the Background section above, current State law (the Housing Crisis Act of 2019) allows "supportive housing" as a permitted use in residential zoning districts by right, and is designed to lower barriers to building new housing projects (particularly supportive housing, transitional housing, affordable housing, etc., for "target populations" as defined). State law imposes the burden of proof on the City's decision-making body to make specific findings before any qualifying housing project can be denied. To consider a potential denial, a project must have a "a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety" that is articulated, and "there is no feasible method to mitigate or avoid the adverse impact" upon public health or safety. In this case, there are no known or identified specific adverse effects in terms of public health or safety. The design problem identified last year during development review (prior to the public hearing) has been resolved. In addition, Conditions of Approval are attached to the Resolution that will ensure the project is constructed and operated in compliance with applicable local zoning regulations, California Building Code, California Fire Code, State regulations pertaining to healthcare facilities, etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project qualifies for exemption from environmental review pursuant to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15332 pertains to infill development sites and the proposal meets all five criteria for this exemption (listed below). The proposed project will not have any potentially significant effects on the environment, and qualifies for exemption from further environmental review.
(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.

Several of the written public comments (Attachment I) stated concerns about utilizing an exemption as provided in CEQA for infill development projects. There is no evidence known at this time indicating the possibility or likelihood of any potentially significant environmental effects as a result of the project (either directly or indirectly), and the Section 15332 exemption is the appropriate determination.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 174 of 690

FINDINGS
As explained in the Background section previously, current State law imposes a higher standard upon a local agency if a qualified housing project is being considered for denial by the decision-making body. To consider potential denial, a project must have a "a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety" that is articulated, and "there is no feasible method to mitigate or avoid the adverse impact" upon public health or safety. In this case, there are no known or identified specific adverse effects in terms of public health or safety.

Findings for Commission Review & Approval:

1. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and all of the required yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features will adjust the use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.

The proposed project includes the construction of a one-story 12,585 square-foot assisted living senior care facility and related site improvements on approximately one acre . The subject property is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use, including setbacks, walls, driveways, landscaping, lighting, utilities, and other required improvements necessary to serve the proposed use and structure. A six-foot high perimeter block wall will be constructed around the subject property to buffer the proposed use from surrounding residences (visually and acoustically) and many surrounding properties have large rear yards to provide further separation from the proposed use. The proposed project complies with the development standards for the Residential Suburban (R-S) zone and will be compatible with the surrounding residential uses that surround the project site.

2. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways which are properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated or to be generated by the proposed use.

The subject property will take access from an improved City street, and a new driveway will be constructed to serve the proposed use and accommodate the expected type and quantity of motor vehicle traffic to and from the proposed project. The existing roadway is designed to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the proposed use (a residential care facility) including the existing single-family residences along North Place. The site for the proposed use relates to streets that are properly designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic that will be generated by the proposed residential facility.

3. The conditions set forth in the approval and those shown on the approved site plan are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.

The conditions of approval for the project will protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Conditions are provided from the Planning Division, Building & Safety Division, and the Land Use Engineering Division, as well as from the Facilities & Community Services Department. The project has been conditioned to comply with the applicable provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code as well as the applicable California Building Code, California Fire Code, and any other applicable regulations.

1. The proposed map is consistent with the City' s General Plan and Municipal Code.

The proposed map will be consistent with the Redlands General Plan and the Redlands Municipal Code. The proposed subdivision is designated in the General Plan land use map as Very Low Density Residential which permits up to 2.7 dwelling units per gross acre. The applicable zoning designation is Residential Estate (R-E) District, and the proposed density of2. 3 units per gross acre would be consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The application is consistent with the General Plan' s policies 4-P. 17 and 4-A.8 of the Livable Community chapter. In addition, RMC Chapter 18. 144 for Planned Residential Developments allows a maximum density for property in the R-E, Residential Estate District up to 3 dwelling units per net acre.

The Open Space provided, to be owned and maintained by the Homeowner' s Association, complies with the open space requirements of RMC Chapter

18. 144.200(A) by providing 20% of the total acreage of the PRD as recreational open space that can be easily accessed and enjoyed by residents of the PRD.

2. The site is physically suitablefor the type ofdevelopment.

The project site is physically suitable for the type of development. The existing site has a relatively flat topography within the development area and is large enough to subdivide the site into 35 lots with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet in accordance with the density and design requirements of the Redlands General Plan and the Redlands Municipal Code. All on -site and off -site improvements proposed as part of the project' s design will meet all City standards and provide a safe and efficient environment for the residents.

3. The site is physically suitable for the density ofthe development.

The site is physically suitable for the density of the development. The proposed subdivision is designated in the General Plan land use map as Very Low Density Residential, which allows a maximum density ofup to 2. 7 dwelling units per gross acre. The project site' s topography within the developable portion is not significantly sloped, the design of the subdivision will generally follow the grade of the site and will not require excessive grading to yield the number of lots proposed. Both the General Plan and the applicable zoning of the property allow development with this density. In addition, the Planned Residential Development Ordinance allows a maximum density for property in the R-E, Estate Residential district to not exceed 3 dwelling units per net acre. As indicated in the analysis in this staffreport, the project proposes a density of 3 dwelling units per net acre, and the project site is physically suitable for the density of development.

4. The design ofthe subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife.

The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

31. Mitigation Measure BIO- 1:

To ensure no impacts to San Bernardino kangaroo rat ( SBKR) occur from Project implementation, the following measures shall be implemented prior to ground -disturbing activities:

1. A protocol focused trapping study for SBKR shall be conducted prior to ground - disturbing activities to determine the presence/ absence of SBKR within the Project area and adjacent slope, consistent with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service' s ( USFWS) approved Survey Protocol for Determining Presence of San Bernardino Kangaroo Rats and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife' s CDFW) Memorandum ofUnderstanding.
a. If no SBKRs are trapped on -site during the trapping study, the following avoidance and minimization measures shall be conducted prior to ground - disturbing activities.
i. The limits ofthe Project disturbance shall be clearly marked with flagging or similar means. All mechanized equipment shall remain within the designated limits of disturbance. Construction personnel shall strictly limit their activities, vehicles, equipment, and construction materials to the designated work area.
ii. All contractors and personnel involved in the construction shall receive environmental awareness training. The training shall be developed in consultation with a biological monitor and consist of an on -site or training center presentation with supporting materials (i.e., photographs, pamphlets, slides). The training shall provide information about federally/State-listed species, special -status species, and sensitive habitats occurring within the vicinity of the proposed limits of disturbance ( i.e., SBKR, and Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub [ RAFSS]).
iii. Immediately following the negative trapping results, a SBKR exclusion fence shall be installed around the proposed limits of disturbance. The exclusion fence shall be constructed to the following specification. iv. An approximately 4- foot-tall fence with 2 feet above ground and 2 feet below ground shall be installed around the entire disturbance area. The erect portion ofthe fencing shall be covered in a material that cannot be climbed or chewed through by SBKR.
v. A qualified biological monitor, with SBKR experience, shall be present during initial clearing and grubbing activities and on a regular basis to ensure the exclusion fence is effective. The biological monitor shall have the authority to halt any and all construction activities. 12 I:\Resolutions\ Res 8500- 8599\ 8516 TTLC Redland Texas St LLC . docx- nas Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 256 of 690
vi. The biological monitor shall supervise the installation of the SBKR exclusion fence around the proposed limits of disturbance. The biological monitor shall ensure that no burrows are impacted by fence installation, by avoiding burrows within 5 meters, if any. The wildlife agencies will be consulted ifthere are burrows within 5 meters of the fence to avoid take. vii. The biological monitor shall inspect the exclusion fence before leaving the job site in the evening and repair any opening in the fencing as necessary to exclude SBKR.
viii. The biological monitor shall supervise the removal of the SBKR exclusion fence to ensure no SBKR burrows, if any, are impacted by fence removal. ix. Construction activities shall be limited to daylight hours to the extent feasible. If nighttime work is necessary, lighting shall be shielded away from the Santa Ana River floodplain north of the proposed limits of disturbance. Fixtures shall be shielded to downcast below the horizontal plane ofthe fixture height and mounted as low as possible. x. All permanent lighting fixtures within the completed development shall be shielded and directed away from the RAFSS habitat on the Santa Ana River floodplain north of the proposed limits of disturbance. b. If SBKR are trapped within the proposed limits of disturbance, Incidental Take Permits ( ITPs) with the USFWS ( Section 10 or Habitat Conservation Plan) and CDFW ( Section 2081) shall be prepared and processed to allow for " take" authorization for SBKR and to mitigate for impacts to the species and loss of habitat. If SBKR are determined to be present, project construction shall not occur until " take" authorization and mitigation approval is received from the wildlife agencies.

32. Mitigation Measure BIO- 2:

Pre -construction surveys for burrowing owls on the Project site and in the surrounding area shall be conducted by a qualified biologist no more than 14 days prior to initiation of Project activities in accordance with guidelines identified by the CDFW 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (State of California Natural Resources Agency, Department of Fish and Game, March 2012). IfProject activities are delayed for more than 30 days ( including the restarting of activities after Project/ground disturbing delays of 30 days or more), additional surveys shall be completed, including but not limited to a take avoidance survey within 24 hours of ground disturbance.

Ifburrowing owl(s) are not observed on site during any pre -construction surveys, a letter shall be prepared by the qualified biologist documenting the results ofthe survey. 13 I:\Resolutions\ Res 8500- 8599\ 8516 TTLC Redland Texas St LLC . docx- ms Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 257 of 690
Ifburrowing owls are observed on the Project site during the preconstruction survey, a burrowing owl relocation plan shall be prepared by the Applicant and approved by the CDFW.

33. Mitigation Measure BIO-3:

Nesting birds are protected pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act ( MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code ( Sections 3503, 3503. 3, 3511, and 3513 of the California Fish and Game Code prohibit the take, possession, or destruction of birds, their nests or eggs). In order to protect migratory bird species, a nesting bird clearance survey shall be conducted prior to any ground disturbance or vegetation removal activities that may disrupt the birds during the nesting season. Consequently, if avian nesting behaviors are disrupted, such as nest abandonment and/ or loss ofreproductive effort, it is considered " take" and is potentially punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.

If construction occurs between February 1 and August 31, a preconstruction clearance survey for nesting birds shall be conducted within three ( 3) days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground -disturbing activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during construction. The biologist conducting the clearance survey shall document a negative survey with a brief letter report indicating that no impacts to active avian nests would occur. If an active avian nest is discovered during the pre -construction clearance survey, the biologist shall establish protective buffers surrounding the nest site in which no disturbance activities shall occur until the nesting activity is completed and the nesting has either failed or the young have fledged. The size of the no -disturbance buffer shall be determined by the wildlife biologist and shall depend on the level of noise and/ or surrounding anthropogenic disturbances, line of sight between the nest and the construction activity, type and duration of construction activity, ambient noise, species habituation, and topographical barriers. These factors shall be evaluated on a case -by -case basis when developing buffer distances. Limits of construction to avoid an active nest shall be established in the field with flagging, fencing, or other appropriate barriers; and construction personnel shall be instructed on the sensitivity of nest areas. A biological monitor shall be present to delineate the boundaries of the buffer area and to monitor the active nest to ensure that nesting behavior is not adversely affected by the construction activity. As noted above, once the young have fledged and left the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, construction activities within the buffer area can occur.

34. Mitigation Measure CUL- 1:

Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the Applicant shall provide the Director of the City of Redlands Department of Development Services, or designee, with evidence that it has retained the services ofa qualified archaeologist that meets the Secretary ofthe Interior standards on an on call basis. In the event that cultural resources are discovered during Project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 100-foot buffer) shall cease and the Project archaeologist shall assess the find and determine appropriate 14 I:\Resolutions\ Res 8500- 8599\ 8516 TTLC Redland Texas St LLC . docx-ms Redlands Regular Meeting of 07-15-25 258 of 690
treatment. Work on the other portions of the Project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period.

35. Mitigation Measure CUL-2:

If significant pre -contact and/or historic -era cultural resources, as defined by CEQA ( as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the qualified archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan for the remainder of the Project site. The Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be developed in coordination with the Applicant and the City. The Applicant shall secure a monitoring agreement with the archaeologist prior to the recommencement of work, and the archaeologist shall monitor during the remainder ofthe ground disturbance activities on the Project site and implement the Plan accordingly.

36. Mitigation Measure TCR- 1:

The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN) Cultural Resources Department shall be contacted regarding any pre -contact cultural resources discovered during Project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. YSMN shall have the option of placing a tribal monitor on -site during ground -disturbing activities within previously undisturbed soil for the remainder of the Project.

37. Mitigation Measure TCR-2:

Any and all archaeological documents created as a part of the Project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the Applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to YSMN. The Lead Agency and/or Applicant shall, in good faith, consult with YSMN throughout the life ofthe Project.

38. Mitigation Measure GEO- 1:

Prior to commencement of any grading activity on the Project site, the Applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist, subject to the review and approval of the Director of the City of Redlands Department of Development Services, Planning Division, or designee.

The qualified paleontologist shall attend the pre -construction meeting and be on site during all rough grading and other significant ground -disturbing activities. In the event that paleontological resources ( e.g., fossils) are unearthed during grading, the paleontology monitor shall temporarily halt and/or divert grading activity to allow recovery of paleontological resources. The area of discovery shall be roped off with a 50-foot radius buffer. Once documentation and collection of the find is completed, the monitor shall remove the rope and allow grading to recommence in the area of the find. The paleontologist shall prepare a Paleontological Resources Impact Mitigation Program PRIMP) for the proposed Project. The PRIMP shall be consistent with the guidelines of the Society ofVertebrate Paleontology (SVP).
