Ordinance Amending Chapter 3.16 of the Rocklin Municipal Code to Enact Article VIII Pertaining to the Reduction of Park Improvement, Trail, Community and Recreation Facilities, and Public Facilities Impact Fees for Certain Affordable Housing Developments and Resolution Adopting the Fee Reduction Rate
Date:

January 10, 2023
Submitted By:

Elizabeth Sorg, Management Analyst
Department:

City Manager's Office
Recommendation:
1 .

Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Amending Chapter 3.16 of the Rocklin Municipal Code to Enact Article VIII Pertaining to the Reduction of Park Improvement, Trail, Community and Recreation Facilities, and Public Facilities Impact Fees for Certain Affordable Housing Developments.
2 .

Background:

On May 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-107, approving and adopting the Development Impact Fee Study prepared by NBS, dated April 18, 2022. Development impact fees are imposed on new development projects in the City in order to mitigate the impacts of new development on the City’s capital facilities. The City of Rocklin charges impact fees for several types of facilities, including such facilities as transportation infrastructure, parks and recreation facilities, police stations and fire stations.

At the June 28, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council adopted the ordinance that established the Park Improvement, Trails, Community and Recreation Facilities, and Public Facilities. These fees are effective January 1, 2023. At the June 28 meeting, staff presented the option to return with a fee waiver program for new affordable housing developments in order to incentivize the creation of more affordable housing in the city, and City Council was receptive to this program.

At the December 13, 2022 meeting, the City Council introduced, waived further reading and read by title only, an ordinance (Attachment 1) that includes a process by which applicants who are constructing affordable housing may receive a reduced rate of Park Improvement, Item Number 2.C

12 Trail, Community and Recreation Facilities and Public Facility impact fees that are charged upon issuance of all building permits for development in the city. The ordinance attached to this staff report has remained unchanged since it was introduced at the December 13, 2022 City Council Meeting.

The attached resolution (Attachment 2) establishes a 40% reduction of Park Improvement, Trail, Community and Recreation Facilities and Public Facility impact fees for qualified affordable housing development. The 40% discount is applied to all four fees and is calculated on an individual basis. The base fees for reduction are based on the original impact fees that were established at the June 28, 2022 City Council meeting.

Because the fee structure changed from a flat fee based on housing type to one based on square footage, the fees cannot be fully reduced to meet the previous amount. The previous fees also did not include the Trails or Community and Recreation Facility fees, which were adopted with the June 28, 2022 ordinance. For ease of administration, staff recommends a flat fee that is applied for all affordable housing developments that qualify for a reduction as defined by the attached ordinance. For comparison purposes, Attachment 3 shows the 2022 impact fee amounts (flat fees for single family or multi family units), the updated impact fees effective January 1, 2023, and the proposed impact fees for affordable housing (a 40% discount from the 2023 fees, by square footage).

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund. However, this action may cause a reduction in the amount of fees collected on future affordable housing developed as defined.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN AMENDING CHAPTER 3.16 OF THE ROCKLIN MUNICIPAL CODE TO ENACT ARTICLE VIII PERTAINING TO THE

REDUCTION OF PARK IMPROVEMENT, TRAIL, COMMUNITY AND RECREATION FACILITIES, AND

PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT FEES FOR CERTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WHEREAS, on June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance number 1149 Amending Chapter 3.16, Articles VI and VII of the Rocklin Municipal Code Regarding Parks and Recreation and Public Facilities Development Impact Fees Applicable to New Development, which established the impact fees for Park Improvement, Trails, Community and Recreation Facilities, and Public Facilities; and
WHEREAS, development impact fees are administered to collect fees at rates established by resolution, to finance the design, construction, installation and acquisition of public infrastructure or to recover the costs of adding capacity in existing infrastructure; and WHEREAS, the payment of development impact fees may constitute a barrier for the construction of affordable housing units; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Ordinance is to enact a process for the reduction of impact fees for Park Improvement, Trails, Community and Recreation Facilities and Public Facilities, for new housing developments in the City of Rocklin that contain affordable dwelling units, with the amount of the reduction in fees established and adjusted from time to time by resolution;
WHEREAS, reducing certain impact fees for housing developments with affordable dwelling units would not significantly alter the City’s ability to finance the design, construction, installation and acquisition of public infrastructure or significantly impact existing finance plans, and any shortfall that may result from the fee reduction shall not be made up from revenue from fees paid by others within any of the relevant fee programs. 14 NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals Incorporated. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein.

Section 4. Enact. The Rocklin Municipal Code, Chapter 3.16, Article VIII is enacted as follows:

Article VIII – Reduction of Park Improvement, Trail, Community and Recreation Facilities, and Public Facilities Impact Fees for Affordable Housing Developments.

The city council desires to encourage the construction of residential projects which will provide units with affordable rents or affordable housing costs for low income no greater than 60% AMI, very low and extremely low income households in the city of Rocklin.

Elise Hardy, Administrative Services - HR
Department:

Administrative Services - Human Resources
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin to Approve an Additional Allocation, Assign a Salary Range for City Engineer, and Approve Updated Management Salary Schedules.

Background:

The City has not employed a full-time City Engineer since 2020 and has been utilizing the services of a contractor to serve as City Engineer for approximately 20 hour per week. The current contract expires in June 2023. To improve operations, create efficiencies, and increase the level of service provide by the City, Human Resources (HR) staff recommends transitioning to an in-house, full-time City Engineer. The position would serve as Deputy Director/City Engineer in the Community Development Department. The City anticipates that by bringing the City Engineer role in-house that the Community Development Department will be able to provide enhanced support for all private and public development review functions, with an emphasis on transportation/traffic review. In addition to overseeing private development project review, the City Engineer will be integral in the execution of the public projects in the City’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan.

Based on these organizational needs, staff recommends that the City Council approve the addition of 1.0 FTE City Engineer allocation to the Community Development Department. Staff further recommends that the salary for the classification be set to salary range 27 of the Management Salary Schedule.

Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, section 570.5 requires the City's salary schedules to be adopted at a public meeting.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost of the recommended change is approximately $209,000 annually. The contract budget for engineering services is $200,000 annually. The contract will be terminated when Item Number 2.E

29 the in-house position is filled, and the remaining budgeted funds will offset the cost the position for the 2022/23 Fiscal Year.

Side Letter Agreement with Rocklin Police Officers' Association Date:

January 10, 2023
Submitted By:

Elise Hardy, Administrative Services, HR
Department:

Administrative Services - Human Resources
Recommendation:

Background:

In November 2022, Police Department staff notified the City that Section V., Article 41.2.2 of the MOU between the City of Rocklin and the Rocklin Police Officers' Association (POA), approved by Resolution No. 2022-129, allows “other non-sworn employees” to work only a 4/10 or 12/8/8/12 shift schedule. These scheduling options are problematic for single incumbent classifications, such as Evidence/Property Technician and Police Technical Assets Coordinator, as they do not allow eight hours per day, Monday through Friday coverage.

Representatives of the City and POA have met and conferred and mutually agree to the new provisions to Section V., Article 41.2.2 as follows:

41.2.2 Other Non-Sworn Employees
Non-sworn employees in the classifications of Community Service Officer, Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor, Senior Public Safety Dispatcher, Public Safety Dispatcher I/II, may work a 4/10 shift schedule, or a 12/8/8/12 shift schedule. Each shift shall include one thirty (30) minute paid meal break, except for twelve (12) hour shifts which shall include one forty (40) minute paid meal period.

Non-sworn employees in the classifications of Evidence/Property Technician and Police Technical Assets Coordinator, may work either a 5/8 shift schedule, a 4/10 shift schedule, or a 12/8/8/12 shift schedule. Each shift shall include one thirty (30) minute paid meal break, except for twelve (12) hour shifts which shall include one forty (40) minute paid meal period.

Classifications covered under this section agree to adhere to the terms and conditions of the alternative work schedule policy adopted by the City.

Item Number 2.F

Upgrade and Maintenance of Audio-Visual Equipment in the City Council Chambers
Date:

January 10, 2023
Submitted By:

Aly Zimmermann, City Manager
Brian Graves, Information Technology Manager
Department:

City Manager's Office
Recommendation:

Background:

A remodel of the City Council Chambers is being planned for July 2023 to optimize the seating area for City Council members and staff and to ensure ADA compliance. The changes to the furniture layout will require audio-visual cabling and equipment changes, making it an optimal time to upgrade aging components of the system and to complete other planned upgrades and improvements for a better overall experience for both in-room and online meeting participants.

Staff researched the required technology components and determined that it would be most advantageous to the City to upgrade the existing system. Installing a completely new system would be unnecessary, as some existing components can be repurposed or reused, and the cost of a new system would be cost prohibitive.

AVI-SPL, LLC. is the company that designed, programmed, installed and provides ongoing support of the existing audio-visual system in the Council Chambers. AVI-SPL worked with City staff to identify requirements and produced a proposal in the amount of $106,924.81 ($107,000 rounded) to upgrade the system. The scope of work includes:

Install and terminate new audio and data cabling from the AV closet to remodeled dais, staff table locations, and the remodeled lectern. Remove old cabling in cable pathways and associated component
Install 22” displays on tilting desk mount stands for a low-profile appearance at City Council and staff positions. This will enable City Council and staff to more easily view Item Number 2.G

43 presentations without blocking the audience view of their faces. Supporting video scalers and HDMI distribution equipment will be provided and installed to deliver digital content to the displays.

The large display installed at the back of the lectern will be removed as it is no longer needed which will enable the lectern to be remodeled to ensure ADA compliance.

A 22” display will be installed on the remodeled lectern using an articulating desk stand that can swivel 180 degrees. This will enable presenters standing on either side of the lectern to view their presentation slides without having to use paper slides or look up at the overhead displays
New logic-controlled microphones with LED status rings will be installed at City Council and staff locations. The microphones will tie into the AV control system to allow for automatic camera switching based on microphone mute status. The desk mount touch panel will be programmed to control the mute status and volume level of all microphones and the mayor or chairperson will also have the ability to mute microphones when needed.

Install up to four cameras and a new video mixing system that will enable additional camera views which include front facing views of the dais, staff tables and the lectern.

Add a new media player that will enable City staff to display splash screens such as “Meeting about to start” or “Meeting in closed session” and can also be used to play city announcements, digital signage, and other media content to both in-room and online participants while they are waiting for meeting activities to begin\resume.

All new functionality will be controlled by staff using a new Crestron desk-mounted touch panel and an iPad connected to the AV network.

AVI-SPL will provide the engineering, design, programming, and coordination services for the creation of a standard Graphical User Interface for audio visual presentation and conferencing systems and will provide a copy of the documentation for City staff as a reference. Training will also be provided by AVI-SPL.
12 months of elite maintenance services on all audio-visual systems in the room.

This will be a sole source contract as this upgrade will build on the existing system and replace some but not all components. Portions of the system are proprietary to AVI-SPL, LLC and contracting with them will allow the work/maintenance to be completed by one company ensuring consistency and a rapid response time for the entire system if there are problems or system component failures.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of this agreement in the amount of $107,000. A total of $104,000 qualifies for American Rescue Plan Act Funding under the Internal Support category. The necessary budget amendment will be made as part of the quarterly financial report, provided that said recommendations are approved. The remaining $3,000 will come from the Technology Fee Fund (130).

Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any of its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors has any interest, nor shall they acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the subject of the Contract, nor any other interest which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of its services hereunder.

Contractor shall make disclosures in the time, place and manner set forth in the conflict of interest code and as directed by the City.

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination or suspension of this Contract.

EXHIBIT A
Contractor Proposal/Scope of Work
The Scope of Work is a follows:

Staff Location Change
AVI-SPL will retain the OFE displays and audio equipment. The existing microphone cabling for the staff table will be moved to the new location and will allow for the staff microphones to travel over the Dante network to the OFE DSP to retain all audio functions. No new microphones will be provided in this option. All shielded cabling to retain AV functions will be pulled from the rack location to the new location of the staff tables.

OFE Monitor Upgrade
AVI-SPL will install 9 new OFE purchased 1080P 22" displays on to tilting desk mount stands which will provide the lowest profile appearance for the new Dais and staff table monitors. A new Crestron DM RMC 4k Scaler C will be installed and connected to the existing DM unused output on the OFE 8X8 matrix. A new lx8 Crestron HDMI D/A will be installed to distribute identical video to all 8 of the displays. All new cabling will be provided by AVI-SPL.

AVI-SPL will also install! new OFE purchased 1080P 22" display on an articulating desk stand that can swivel up to 180 degrees. The articulating desk stand will be installed on the ADA side of the new OFE lectern. At this location, presenters on either side of the lectern can see the presentation without looking up at the large overhead displays. Additionally, the swivel mount will allow presenters to view the display from the dais side of the lectern, when presenting to the audience in the theater style seating area.

Microphone Upgrade
AVI-SPL will retain the OFE displays and audio equipment. The existing microphones will all be removed and replaced with logic controlled Shure MX4151pdfc mic with LED status rings. 5 microphones will receive a table mounted Shure MXA MUTE POE powered network button and 6 will receive desktop bases with additional LED status and will tie into the OFE control system to allow for camera positioning via mute status and visual real-time indication of microphone status on both the mic and the mute button. To control all of these devices, a new Engenius network switch will be installed under the dais and will connect to the existing rack mounted switch using LACP configured fiber LC-LC interlinks. The control system will have full control of the mic mute status and all mic controls will be available on the new Crestron TS1070 desk mounted touch panel. This touch panel will enable control of AV systems, microphone levels and will enable a chairman mute function to be accessed at any time by the chairperson. 4 Camera System & Media Player
AVI-SPL will install 4 new Newtek HX2 cameras with NOi output to allow for connection to a new Tricaster Mini HD- 4. The Tricaster will act as a video mixer which will combine input from 59 Contract for Services

AVI-SPL, LLC
1733390.1 9959-001 2
all cameras and content into a single device which can then stream combined video via an lnogeni 4K2USB3 encoder to an OFE PC which will be hosting the Zoom call.

The Tricaster is equipped with 2 mix engines, allowing for different views of both content and splash screen views for the in-room participants and the far end participants. The Tricaster will be capable of showing user generated splash screens such as "meeting concluded" or "closed session" to remote participants during calls.

To provide content and digital signage for the Zoom calls and in-room displays, a new Brightsign XT1144 player will be installed and connected to the video mixer to allow for city generated content and digital signage to be shown on desired monitors while allowing for staff to use content PC's for preparation without the public viewing the operation of the PC.

The system will additionally be equipped with the NewTek LivePanel software, which allows for control of the Tricaster via an OFE provided IPAD connected to the OFE network. The Tricaster video mixing and all meeting functions related to video content are to be controlled via city staff and will not be automatic.

Soft codec licenses provided by others
High voltage and cable pathways provided by others
Graphics for City Advertising and City specific content to be provided by others Summary
AVI-SPL will provide engineering, design, programming, and coordination services for the creation of a standard Graphical User Interface for audio visual presentation and conferencing systems and will provide a copy of this GUI to the owner in PDF format. 60 Contract for Services

The project site was first designated as a school site with the pre -zoning adopted for the North West Rocklin Annexation Area in 2002 via City of Rocklin Ordinance 858. In 2004, the large lot map for Whitney Ranch Phase I, processed as Liberty Hill, was approved by Resolution 2004 -68.

Subsequently, revisions were approved as part of Whitney Ranch Phase II that included the current large lot parcels (SD -2006-06) and zoning (P DG-99-02E) approved in September, 2008 by Resolution 2008 -254 and Ordinance 941 , respectively . There have been a number of subsequent amendments to the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan which did not impact this site, the most recent being Ordinance 1151 adopted in October 2022.

Unit 49 has been mostly vacant since the early approvals of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area. A telecommunications tower, approved and built before the area was annexed from Placer County, was formerly located in the southeastern corner of the site until it was replaced by a new facility in Whitney Ranch Community Park a few years ago . The rest of the site has Project Site

been disturbed during the construction of other portions of Whitney Ranch. The project site supports native and non- native grasses on rolling terrain that generally slopes to the west and south into the existing drainage areas that are tributary to Pleasant Grove Creek.

The Unit is immediately adjacent to or across streets from existing Whitney Ranch single-family neighborhoods including Units 42/44A, 44B, 46D, 46E, 50, 52A, and 61C , and to the west, the future site of the PCWA water tank and existing Pernu Park.

General Plan Amendment

Whitney Ranch Unit 49 is designated Public Quasi Public (PQP) in the Rocklin General Plan Land Use Map. The PQP designation allows for public facilities of a neighborhood, community o r regional nature and the site was given this designation with the early planning for the Northwest Rocklin/Whitney Ranch area in anticipation of the Rocklin Unified School District building a junior high school. The proposed general plan amendment to Low Density Residential (LDR) would make the land use designation consistent with the proposed density of the project and the proposed zoning of PD-3.3C.

Surrounding single family development is designated Medium Density R esidential (MDR). The proposed LDR designation is compatible with the higher density residential development o f MDR surrounding the project site.

General Development Plan Amendment and Rezone
The Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan was originally approved by Ordinance No. 858 by the City Council in 2002. Since that original approval, the General Development Plan has been updated numerous times, most recently via Ordinance No. 1151 in 2022.

The proposed project would amend the General Development Plan to remove references to the designation of the Junior High School site and change the zoning to Planned Development 3.3 units per acre (PD-3.3C) consistent with the requested General Plan Amendment, and to update the appropriate Figures. Similarly, the Rezone would update the Citywide zoning map to replace reference to the Junior High School and PD-5 with PD-3.3C.

The potential for residential lots on Unit 49 was anticipated and analyzed in the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area original entitlements. The original underlying zoning of PD -5 on Unit 49 would have allowed the creation of as many as ninety -nine (99) lots based on the 19.9 gross acres.

Note, the City has been processing several projects in the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan area, including the Estia and Placer Creek Apartments projects. Each of these projects required updates to the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan. Estia has been approved and Placer Cree k Apartments is on the December 13 meeting agenda for its sec ond reading. The General Development Plan revisions for these projects for Whitney Ranch Unit 49 reflect the changes approved with these other projects.

Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action

On September 20, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project. Staff presented the Project, as well as two Blue Memos that included a request by the applicant to modify two of the tentative subdivision conditions of approval, correspondence from the public, and the addition of a staff- recommended condition of approval regarding widening the sidewalk along the project’s Songbird Way frontage to create a Class 1 bike lane sep arate from the existing Class 2 bike lane on the street. Th e Blue Memos with attachments as well as correspondence included with the Planning Commission staff report are provided as Attachment 1.

Correspondence received prior to the public hearing expressed concerns about traffic in the vicinity of the project si te, the need for stop signs, and questioned the Rocklin Unified School District’s (School District) determination that the Junior High School site was not needed to accommodate future enrollment growth. Staff noted both in a Blue Memo and verbally in response to questions during the public hearing that Public Services staff will be conducting a traffic investigation to determine if warrants, per State regulations, are met to allow the installation of any additional traffic control measures in the area of the project.

Following Staff’s presentation, the Planning Commission asked questions regarding potential access to the subdivision from Whitney Ranch Parkway, Senate Bill 743 ( transportation impacts measurement of Vehicle Miles Traveled for new development), and the School District’s decision to not use the project site for a junior high school.

The School District represent ative, Craig Rouse, addressed the Commission , stating he was available to answer any questions. The Commission had questions for Mr. Rouse regarding the following:

1. District’s decision not to have a third Junior High School

2. Age of current schools

3. How many elementary schools are in Rocklin

4. How often the demographic enrollment study is done

5. Growth in Rocklin

The Commission then opened the hearing for public comment. The following residents addressed the Commission:

1. Jason Clark, Rocklin – had questions regarding the age of the CEQA document, elevation differences, grading completed in 2019, and traffic concerns

2. Gary Stevens, Rocklin – expressed concern about traffic and speeding

3. Dave Williams – traffic concerns
81 City Council Report
Whitney Ranch Unit 49
December 13, 2022

Page 8 ends

Dave Berry, project engineer, addressed questions regarding the project access; previous grading; and noted that traffic issues are an enforcement matter.

There being no further public comment, the hearing was closed.

During deliberations, the Commissioners generally expressed support for the project.

The Commission then voted unanimously 4 to 0 (one Commissioner absent) to recommend approval of the project to the City Council including the revisions noted in the Blue Memo.

The draft minutes of the Planning Commission meeting minutes are provided as Attachment 2.

Project Updates Subsequent to the Planning Commission Hearing

Public correspondence received after the Planning Commission meeting is provided as Attachment 3. This includes several pieces of correspondence from Jason Clark, who spoke at the Planning Commission hearing. Mr. Clark came in to the City Clerk’s office lat e in the day on Friday, September 30, 2022 and requested to file an appeal of the Planning Commission action on the Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project and requested to have the application fees for an appeal waived. Given the proximity to the appeal deadline, c lose of business that day, the City Attorney’s office advised staff to accept the correspondence/appeal request materials to allow staff to determine the correct procedure for processing the appeal request and the fee waiver request, which was made without payment of the required fee, thereby preserv ing Mr. Clark’s right to appeal if it was determined that such a right existed given the circumstances .

Community Development Department Staff informed Mr. Clark that accepting his correspondence/appeal request materials did not guarantee him an appeal as S taff would have to look into whether he was allowed an appeal hearing without timely payment of the appeal fee.

After reviewing the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) staff subsequently determ ined that Mr. Clark would need to pay the applicable application fees to file an appeal and, as a part of the appeal, request the application fees be refunded. Staff spoke with Mr. Clark via telephone and explained the need to pay the appeal fee and provide written justification for the fee waiver request. In follow up, Staff emailed Mr. Clark requesting confirmation of his desire to file the appeal and the submission of the fee. Mr. Clark did not respond to Staff’s follow -up email messages and did not subm it the appeal fee . Given that, staff believes that the opportunity to file a timely appeal has passed. Nonetheless, as noted above, this application must be approved by the City Council and so moves on to the City Council automatically . The correspondence provided by Mr. Clark, noting his concerns , has been included in Attachment 3 to this staff report. The issues Mr. Clark raised are addressed herein for consideration by the City Council. In 82 City Council Report
Whitney Ranch Unit 49
December 13, 2022

Page 9 ends

his correspondence Mr. Clark raised the following concerns:

1. The environmental evaluation of the project impacts is flawed as it relies upon an old EIR document that assumed a Junior High School would be developed on the project site.

Response: The Whitney Ranch Environmental Impact Report (EIR) assumed that the project site could be developed as either a Junior High School or a single -family residential subdivision with a density of 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project has a density of 3.3 dwelling units per acre , less than that assumed in the EIR.

Further, consistent with State requirements, staff prepared a 15162 analysis to review and verify that the existing EIR adequately addresses the impacts of the proposed project and no further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required. That analysis it included as Attachment 4 to this staff report, no new information ha s been received that would potentially alter the conclusions of that analysis.

2. Increased t raffic on surrounding streets, particularly Laredo Drive, from proposed residential development will be worse than that from a school because of the reduced speed limits in school zone and other special controls in place during pick up / drop off times.

Response: Special standards do exist for streets adjacent to school si tes, however the bulk of complaints staff receives with regard to school traffic is typically related to the sheer volume of traffic and the resulting circulation difficulties during pick up / drop off times. Staff would expect the proposed project to gene rate traffic volumes similar to the surrounding single -family residential subdivisions , although potentially at slightly reduced levels on a project area basis as the project is proposed with a density of 3.3 dwelling units per acre and the surrounding developments are at 7.3 dwelling units per acre or greater. Speeding on local streets, typically frequented only by area residents, is largely an enforcement issue h andled by the Police Department; staff has no reason to expect that compliance with traffic speed limits would be a more significant issue in this area than any other part of the City.

3. Project should be redesigned to remove access from Laredo Drive and Songbird Way and instead connect with Grouse Ridge Way, in the adjacent Unit 50 development, and directly with Whitney Ranch Parkway due to unacceptable traffic increases on Laredo Drive and Songbird Way.

Response: The existing stub of Grouse Ridge Way was designed with a slightly less than standard width than the adjacent streets to provide access to the two lots that face that 83 City Council Report

Page 10 ends

roadway section and not to serve as a through street. Thi s is because , at the time the Unit 50 subdivision was developed, it was still probable that the adjacent property, Unit 49, would be developed as a school. S ubsequent to construction plans for the Unit 50 subdivision being approved , the School District ’s p lans for the site changed. Access to the project site from Whitney Ranch Parkway is possible , but not desirable, as Whitney Ranch Parkway is designed as an arterial street intended to carry a larger volume of vehicles at higher speeds than the collector st reets and local streets that feed onto it. In peak hours , traffic going through the roundabout at Songbird Way / West Oaks Boulevard and Whitney Ranch Parkway may back up making exiting from a street in the project site difficult at those times if the street is too close to the roundabout. Shifting a potential connector street further east to line up with Jamboree Drive is not possible as that street is centered on the project site ’s easterly property line so additional right -of- way would be required from the Unit 50 subdivision (effective ly losing a lot), or the new street would need to shift westerly creating an off- set intersection, which is not desirable and not consistent with City standards. Specifically, due to safety concerns , the adopted Cit y standards require street intersections to line up or be offset by a minimum of 150 feet which would move the intersection closer to the roundabout than would be preferred. Songbird Way is designed to serve as a local collector street feeding traffic from local streets to Whitney Ranch Parkway. Laredo Drive is a local street designed to carry traffic generated in the immediate area and accommodate traffic from a larger area that would have been attracted to the area due to the formerly anticipated Junior High School on the site. As such, this street has more than adequate capacity to safely accommodate traffic from the proposed development . Additionally, based upon experience, staff would expect the bulk of traffic to and from this development to use Songbird Way to more quickly get to Whitney Ranch Parkway or West Oaks Boulevard as that is the shortest distance to / from Highway 65, shopping, schools, offices, and other generators of traffic.

4. The site should be preserved as open space.

Response: The Whitney Ranch development has already met its obligations for provision / construction of parks consistent with the standards set forth in the Rocklin General Plan and also for provides significant passive open space areas. In fact, Pernu Park is located directly across Old Ranch House Road from the project site and links to the trail system in the Whitney Oaks area. The proceeding notwithstanding, the City has no t programmed funds to purchase, develop, or maintain this site as a park or open space area.

In response to concerns raised about giving up the project site as a potential future school site the Rocklin Unified School District provided additional information, Attachment 5, about the School Board’s determination to declare the project site, Unit 49, as surplus and allow it to be 84 City Council Report
Whitney Ranch Unit 49
December 13, 2022

Page 11 ends

sold for development as a residential subdivision. In addition, Ubora Engineering and Planning, Inc., the project engineers, provided additional information responding to Mr. Clark’s concerns, Attachment 6.

Since the Planning Commission hearing, the Engineering Division has more thoroughly reviewed the proposed addition of a Class 1 Bike lane along Song Bird Way , which was noted in one of the Blue Memos and memorialized as a condition of approval (4.f.ii. A), to add a Class 1 bike lane on Songbird Way. Unfortunately, they concluded that neither a Class I bike lane nor an expanded sidewalk c ould be installed along the Songbird Way frontage. Some of the factors leading to that conclusion include: the requirements of a Class 1 bike lane to be separated from the roadway; the presence of the existing sidewalk and existing five ( 5) foot wide bike lane along the frontage; as well as grading and retaining wall implications.

The review also considered pedestrian access to Pernu Park and the hiking / bike trail terminus in the park, across Old Ranch House Road from the project site . It was determined the project could be required to install a 3 -way stop sign with a crosswalk at the intersection of Creek Hollow R oad/Old Ranch Hous e Road and to install a crosswalk only (no stop signs) at the intersection of Songbird Way/Old Ranch House Road. As noted in the staff report, the City is currently evaluating the intersection of Baronial Lane /Old Ranch House Road for the potential application of future stop signs and crosswalks. The applicant has agreed to the proposed pedestrian improvements and accordingly, the previous Planning Commission B lue Memo recommendation to modify condition of approval ( 4.f.ii.A), to require a Class 1 bike lane along Songbird Way has been eliminated , and the original unedited condition, without reference to Class 1 bike lane was restored. Additionally, a new condition has been added to the draft resolution for approval of the subdivision as indicated below to address pedestrian crossings on Old Ranch House Road and a “Park Connections sheet” has been added to Exhibit A of the draft resolution to approve the subdivision to clarify the intended improvements.

Proposed Condition of Approval for City Council

Section 3 .B.4.f.ii.D) “ Intersection improvements along Old Ranch House Road including the installation of a 3 -way stop and a crosswalk at the Creek Hollow Road/Old Ranch House Road intersection and installation of a crosswalk at the Songbird Way/Old Ranch House Road intersection, and any advanced warning signs for the crosswalks, if required per the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices based on the sight distance and geometry of the roadway, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and Director of Public Services.”

Tentative Subdivision Map

Subdivision Design - General
The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map will subdivide approximately 19.9 gross acres into sixty (60) single-family residential lots and three lettered landscape lots to be dedicated to the City. Lot sizes range from 7,593 square feet to 18,471 square feet.

The streets within this subdivision are proposed to be public and are designed to the City’s 46 - foot and 42 -foot standard residential stree t sections. The 46- foot street section provides for parking, rolled curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on both sides of the street. Cul -de-sacs and some short street segments that terminate, meet the City’s 42 -foot standard residential street section with rolle d curb, gutter, and sidewalk on one side and vertical curb on the other; parking would only be allowed on one side of these streets.

The project is obligated to construct all on -site streets and improvements and to install sewer, water, and other infrastructure as required by the City and the applicable utilities to provide service to the project.

The subdivision is designed with two points of entry. The entries are flanked by landscape lots to be dedicated to the City. Construction of this subdivision includes installation of landscaping in the existing median in Songbird Way.

Grading and Drainage / Stormwater Quality
The project’s grading is designed to balance the amount of cut and fill. Internal retaining walls are used throughout the project site to retain slopes where needed.

The project site is within the Pleasant Grove Creek watershed. Drainage and detention for Whitney Ranch was master planned and has been implemented with earlier phases of development. The proposed storm drainage system has been designed and/or conditioned to meet the City of Rocklin Storm Water Quality standards and the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) Phase II State Water Resources Control Board General permit. Effective water quality and sediment and erosion control measures are required to be implemented and maintained during construction.

Masonry Walls and Fencing
The following wall and fence types, consistent with the earlier phases of Whitney Ranch, are proposed and/or conditioned to be used at various locations throughout the project:
• Six-foot tall “Proto II” masonry wall with decorative cap and stone veneer pilasters to be spaced no greater than 80 feet on center (at project entries) 86 City Council Report
Whitney Ranch Unit 49
December 13, 2022

Page 13 ends

• Six-foot tall “Proto II” masonry wall with decorative cap and pilasters to be spaced no greater than 80 feet on center (along the major arterial roads) • Future privacy fence along the eastern boundary with Unit 50 (single family development under construction)

The wall and fence designs and their locations within the project area are provided on the Preliminary Fencing Plan in Exhibit A.

Landscaping
The project frontages and entry landscape lots will consist of a combination of decorative masonry walls and landscaping including street shade trees, accent trees, shrubs, and groundcover consistent with the Whitney Ranch streetscape design standards. The median in Songbird Way will be landscaped to match that in the similar medians also flanking the roundabout at Whitney Ranch Parkway and West Oaks Boulevard.

Street Lights, Site Lighting, Street Sign Poles, Bollards The project has been conditioned to include decorative street lights, street sign poles and brackets, and bollards that are consistent with those used in Whitney Ranch Phases I and II , as well as ensure that adequate pedestrian lighting is provided at the paseo.

Environmental Determination

When the Northwest Rocklin Annexation (Sunset Ranchos) project was approved in 2002, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was also approved per City Council Resolut ion 2002 -230.

Subsequently, an Addendum to the Northwest Rocklin Annexation EIR was approved in 2008 per City Council Resolution 2008 -252. Project specific analysis was conducted and potential impacts of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation project were identi fied in the EIR and Addendum documents. Section 15162 of California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ) contains the provisions for relying on previously adopted environmental impact report s. Pursuant to Section 15162, it has been determined that the EIR and Addendum that were adopted for the Northwest Rocklin Annexation project took into consideration the anticipated potential environmental impacts associated with the development of Whitney Ranch Unit 49 as both a Junior High School or a single-family residential subdivision therefore no additional environmental documentation is necessary. This determination has been made because according to Section 15162, when an environmental impact repor t has been adopted for a project, no subsequent environmental document shall be prepared unless there are substantial changes to the project or to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, or new information of substantial importance results in the identification of a new impact or an increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact, or n ew information of substantial importance which was not known or could not have been known show s any of the results further described in 87 City Council Report
Whitney Ranch Unit 49
December 13, 2022

Page 14 ends

Section 15612. The proposed Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project proposes 60 dwelling units while the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area EIR anticipated and analyzed up to a maximum of ninety-nine (99) dwelling units for the project area, consistent with the underlying zoning. Thus, the Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project is within the scope of the previously approved Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area EIR and does not result in any new significant impacts nor does it result in an increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact. The Section 15162 analysis is provided as Attachment 4.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN AMENDING THE NORTHWEST ROCKLIN GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND REZONING AN APPROXIMATELY 19.9-ACRE SITE FROM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL (SCHOOL)/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 5 UNITS TO THE ACRE (PD-5) TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 3.3 UNITS TO THE ACRE (PD-3.3C)
(Whitney Ranch Unit 49 / PDG2021-0003 and Z2022-0002)
The City Council of the City of Rocklin does ordain as follows:

Section 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:

A. The proposed general development plan amendment would amend the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan to provide clarity with respect to the removal of the Junior High School designation from this site and would amend the City-wide Zoning Map to rezone an approximately 19.9-acre site within the Whitney Ranch Planning Area (Unit 49) from Junior High School (School)/PD-5 to PD-3.3C, as indicated in Exhibits 1A and 1B to this ordinance, which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

B. The proposed general development plan amendment is compatible with the concurrently proposed Rocklin General Plan Amendment and the land uses existing and permitted on the properties in the vicinity. The general development plan amendment removes references to School use of this site in the document and changes the residential designation to PD-3.3C.

C. The general development plan amendment does not propose any modification to allowed land uses, and would not create serious health problems or create nuisances on properties in the vicinity.

D. The City Council has considered the effect of the proposed general development plan amendment on the housing needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.

E. The proposed amendments to the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan only affect Exhibit C of that document, with Exhibit B, Conditions of Approval for the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan, and the North West Rocklin Financing Plan remaining in effect and unchanged by this amendment.

Ord. No.

Section 2. Authority. The City Council enacts this Ordinance under the authority granted to cities by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution.

Section 3. Amendment to Code. The Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan is hereby amended to rezone a 19.9-acre portion of the Whitney Ranch/Sunset Ranchos Planning Area (Unit 49) from Junior High School (School)/PD-5 to PD-3.3C, as indicated in Exhibits “1A” and “1B” of this Ordinance, which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and to make other project-related conforming changes to various charts, tables, figures, and text in Exhibit C of the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan as set forth in Exhibit “1A.” Unless expressly amended by this Ordinance, all other sections of the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan shall remain unchanged and in effect.

Section 4. Amendment to Zoning Map. The Citywide Zoning Map is hereby amended to modify the zoning designation for the 19.9-acre portion of Whitney Ranch Unit 49, as set forth in Exhibit “1B.” Unless expressly amended by this Ordinance, all other sections of the Citywide Zoning Map shall remain unchanged and in effect.

Section 5. Severability. If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the Ordinance and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 6. Environmental. The proposed Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project, including its related land use entitlements, was analyzed as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a part of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area EIR and associated Addendum, approved and certified by City Council Resolutions No. 2002-230 and 2008-252, respectively. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, no further environmental review of the Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project is required, nor should be conducted, since the project is within the scope of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area EIR and associated Addendum which adequately describes these activities for purposes of CEQA for the following reasons:

A. No new significant environmental effects nor any substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects will occur from the Whitney Ranch Unit 49 project;
B. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Addendum due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and 91

Ord. No.

C. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR or Addendum were certified as complete, shows any of the following:
i) That the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR;
ii) That significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
iii) That mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
iv) That mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the environment, but the project proponents declined to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

Section 7. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the day of its adoption.

Section 8. Publication . Within 15 days of passage of this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause the full text of the ordinance, a summary of the Ordinance, or an advertisement of the Ordinance to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, with the names of those City Councilmembers voting for and against the Ordinance, in accordance with Government Code section 36933.

CHAPTER ONE - INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of General Development Plan

A General Development Plan (GDP) is a planning document that defines, in detail, the development criteria for a project area. Chapter 17.60 of the Rocklin Municipal Code establishes the Planned Development process as a “means to provide for greater flexibility in environmental design than is provided under the strict application of the zoning and subdivision ordinances.” With that intent, the North West Rocklin Area General Development Plan (“NWRA GDP”) has been crafted to allow the integrated development of the 1,871 -acre project in a manner that will a) promote the development of developable areas and avoid sensitive environmental areas, b) encourage creative and innovative design by allowing flexibili ty in property development standards, c) encourage the preservation of open space, and d) accommodate various types of large scale, complex and phased development in the planning area. More specifically, the NWRA GDP:

1. Establishes the interrelationship among land uses in the plan area.

2. Specifies permitted and conditionally permitted uses for all parcels and the intensity of the uses.

3. Establishes development standards such as the lot sizes, building setbacks, and height limits.

4. Identifies the width a nd general location of roadways necessary to serve the development

5. Identifies the needs and supply sources of water, sewer, drainage, and other public service needs of the project.

6. Provides guidance for the preparation of tentative maps, with regards to design features such as street alignments and cross-sections, lot size and lot orientation

The GDP will serve as the regulatory land use document for the North West Rocklin area. All provisions of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of the Rocklin Municipal Code) shall apply to this project unless otherwise specified in this GDP.

1.2 Plan Area Location and Description

The North West Rocklin Plan Area is approximately 1,871 acres located in the northwest corner of the City of Rocklin. Rocklin is located in the County of Placer, about 20 miles northeast of the City of Sacramento.

The North West Rocklin Plan Area is contiguous to SR 65 on the west and the Twelve Bridges Specific Plan area in the City of Lincoln on the north. Within the City of Rocklin, the Whitney Oaks project is to the east with Sunset West and Stanford Ranch on the south. West of the plan area is the Sunset Industrial Area in the County of Placer.

The North West Rocklin Plan Area’s location within the regional setting is presented in Figure 1 and a vicinity map is presented in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the existing site conditions at the time of the annexation, which influenced future land uses for the plan area.

CHAPTER TWO – ZONING DISTRICTS AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE ROCKLIN MUNICIPAL CODE

2.1 Relationship to the Rocklin Municipal Code

All provisions of the Rocklin Municipal Code (R.M.C.) shall apply to this project unless otherwise specified in this General Development Plan. Whenever there is a conflict between Title 16 and Title 17 of the R.M.C. and this General Development Plan, the provisions of the General Development Plan shall prevail.

{General Note: ‘Table 2 –Parcel Ownership by Planning Area’ was deemed unnecessary and was deleted from the amendment of the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan approved via Ordinance 941 – Whitney Ranch Phase II in 2018.}

2.2 Zoning Districts

To encourage a more creative and flexible approach to the use of land in this planning area, the General Development Plan identifies the zoning for Northwest Rocklin as a Planned Development (PD).

The Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan will utilize the following zoning categories.

PD-1.6 Residential – One-and-six tenths (1.6) dwelling units to the gross acre.

Purpose: To provide for low density, single family-detached residential units, with minimum lot size of 11,000square feet.

No project will be approved if the density is below 22 dwelling units per gross acre.

PD-BP Business Professional
Purpose: To provide opportunities for developing and operating professional and administrative offices.

PD-COMM Commercial
Purpose: To provide a large concentration and mix of retail and services to meet the needs of local residents and employees of the plan area.

Office uses will be limited to no more than 30% of t he total building square footage.

PD-NC Neighborhood Commercial
To provide a mix of retail and services to meet the needs of local residents. Due to limited parcel size and proximity to single-family residential uses, uses in this district will be limit ed in types, intensity, and design compared to the community commercial district.

PD-BP/COMM Business Professional/Commercial
Purpose: To provide opportunities for developing and operating professional and administrative offices while allowing limited amount (maximum of 30% of site) retail commercial uses that are compatible with office uses.

107
Northwest Rocklin GDP

to Ord No. XXXX
PD-LI Light Industrial
Purpose: This district is intended primarily for light industrial uses such as manufacturing, assembly, research and development as well as limited office uses that are compatible with industrial uses and light Industrial land uses in a campus-like setting.

SCHOOL School Facilities
Purpose: To reserve land for the construction of future school facilities.

These parcels will be reserved for purchase by the Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD). (1)

Recreation Facility Private Recreation Facilities
Purpose: To provide areas for private recreational facilities typically owned and operated by a community association or Home Owners’ Association for exclusive use by property owners, tenants, and their guests.

Park Park Facilities
Purpose: To provide areas for passive and active recreational opportunities.

These parcels will be dedicated to the City for park improvements and annexed into the Ci ty of Rocklin Parks CFD. The Community park site will provide for more intense active recreation such as athletic complexes, swimming pools and lighted ball fields. The park will attract users from throughout the City. Neighborhood parks will serve the immediate neighborhood and will have less intensive recreation uses like play equipment and turf area.

OS Open Space
Purpose: To preserve hillsides, streams, and other natural resources and buffer them from adjacent land uses. Storm water conveyance and detention will also utilize open space area. The open space corridors will preserve natural drainage ways, link public facilities via adjacent pedestrian trail, and create a unifying element to the plan.

Note (1): All proposed elementary school parcels have been designated with an underlying designation of PD-5. This would give notice that residential development could occur in the event the Rocklin Unified School District chooses not to use any of the sites for future school facilities.

The land use types, acreage and dwelling units for each project area are presented in Table 1. Figure 5 identifies the
Development Areas referred to in this General Development Plan.

Subsequent amendments to zoning in the North West Rocklin Area are reflected on the City’s Official Zoning Map. That document shall be referred to in all instances as the official zoning exhibit for this General Development Plan.

The number of dwelling units and/or square footage reflected above is the maximum allowed based on zoning and for which infrastructure is designed or planned for. Actual development yield may be less. The only exception is for those zones where the number of dwelling units is followed by a “+” notation. In those instances, the number of dwelling units allowed per acre is a minimum.

Square footage for the Highway 65 Corridor is tied to number of trips and will depend on mix of uses. See Chapter 3.

2.3 Zoning Boundaries

The boundaries of the zones described in this plan shall be as shown on the Citywide Zoning Map.

CHAPTER THREE – PERMITTED LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

3.1 Introduction

This chapter presents information regarding permitted uses and development standards associated with the zoning districts in the Northwest Rocklin Plan Area. The requirements presented in this chapter are prescriptive, which means all projects must comply with them without any discretion. In addition to these requirements, a set of Design Guidelines have been prepared which would provide guidance to property owners, architects, and developers in designing projects that are harmonious with the existing fabric of the project area and the City of Rocklin in general.

3.2 Overview of Project Area

The Sunset Ranchos planning area consists of predominantly residential development with associated parks and school sites, open space, and commercial areas to support the community’s population. The site encompasses ap proximately 1,296.3 +/- vacant acres and is proposed for 3,452 single-family lots, 895 multi-family units, one 50-acre high school site, and two elementary school sites totaling 22.4 acres, 62.5 acres of park/recreational sites, 199.8 acres of open space, and 23.3 acres of commercial sites.

Parcel K planning area consists of 44.1 acres of residential development up to a maximum of 109 units and approximately 2.9 acres of open space.

The Highway 65 Corridor planning area includes the Atherton Tech Center, which consists of existing office, business professional and industrial uses, the William Jessup University facility, existing single family residential, and vacant undeveloped land z oned for similar land uses.

Approximately 57 acres of the Highway 65 Corridor area is zoned for 370 small-lot single-family residential units. Additional acreage within the Highway 65 Corridor has been zoned to accommodate approximately 435 multi- family residential units. A 226 unit senior congregate care/residential project was also approved with a use permit. The Atherton Tech Center was approved for the construction of Light Industrial buildings and is almost built out.

3.3 Land Use Summaries

3.3.1 Sunset Ranchos

The Sunset Ranchos planning area is conceptually divided into 84 development areas for land use planning. Each development area is identified on Figure 5 in Chapter 2. Table 3 lists the development areas within Sunset Ranchos with the corre sponding proposed land use, zoning category, estimated acreage, maximum allowable number of dwelling units (# of DUs) and potential square footage.

3.4.3 Special Use Regulations for Non Residential Zones

Permitted and conditionally permitted uses are subject to the following conditions and criteria:

1. SIMILAR USE DETERMINATIONS

The Community Development Director may determine certain uses or activities that are not explicitly stated above to be permitted or conditionally permitted uses provided the use or activity has characteristics that are similar to those of the uses listed above.

2. MODIFICATIONS TO TRAFFIC CAPACITIES (TABLE 8)

Maximum square footage for each development area shall be limited by the traffic capacity shown in Table 8 . Additional square footage may be allowed if it can be demonstrated through a traffic analysis that intersections and roadway segments would operate acceptably.

3. POTENTIAL NUISANCE FACTORS/USE PERMIT

Uses which in the opinion of the Community Development Director, involve the potential to create odor, dust, noise, light, vibration or other nuisance factors, will be considered with a conditional use permit.

4. OFFICE USES/PD-COMM

Office uses in the PD-Comm. district shall be limited to no more than 30% of total building square footage.

5. COMMERCIAL USES/PD-BP/COMM

Commercial uses in the PD -BP/COMM. district shall be limited to no more than 30% of the land area within each applicable Development Area identified on the General Development Plan Zoning Map. This condition specifically applies to Development Area 104, and 108A.

6. RESTAURANTS & DRIVE-THRUS/PD-BP

Restaurant buildings or drive-through speaker boxes in the PD-BP district shall be located no closer than 300 feet to a residential property line.

7. MINISTORAGES / DEVELOPMENT AREA 113

Conditional use permit applications for mini -storage facilities will only be considered within Development Area number 113.

3.4.4 Traffic Capacity

The traffic impact study for the NWRA project as updated by the Final Transportation Impact Analysis for the Northwest Rocklin Area General Development Plan (May 5, 2016 – Fehr & Peers) and updated through a project related Traffic Impact Study and Addendum (Estia at Rocklin) in August 2022, assume s total average daily trips of 98,010 trips for the Highway 65 c orridor planning area - consisting of development areas 104 through 116, including the undeveloped parcels in Atherton Tech. (See Highway 65 Corridor Development Areas Map at the end of this Section). If all traffic and road improvements that are outlined the General Development Plan are constructed and modifications to specific intersections identified in the 2016 study are incorporated into and implemented through the City’s Capital Improvement Program and development intensity stays within levels assumed by the traffic study, roadway intersections and segments within the project area will operate within acceptable levels of service established by the General Plan. To ensure that development intensity stays within levels assumed by the traffic study, future uses shall be required to demonstrate that the volume of traffic generated by each development does not exceed the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) shown for each development area in Table 8.

Volumes s hown in Table 8 may be exceeded only if a traffic study demonstrates that all intersections and roadway segments would operate acceptably with the increase. This may occur when other areas within the annexation area develop at intensities lesser than presumed in the GDP and traffic study.

Traffic volumes for the 34.0 acres of commercial and 9.2 acres of business professional in the Sunset Ranchos planning area are included in the traffic counts for the Sunset Ranchos planning area. As long as the proposed building square footage is consistent with or below levels identified in Table 3, no additional traffic analysis would be required.

Consistent with the Traffic Impact Study, the following trip generation rates will be used for the purpose of establishing the base ADT limitation for a project within the Highway 65 Corridor Planning Area:

Business Professional (Office) 17.7 daily trips per 1,000 square feet Commercial (Retail, Highway etc.) 35 daily trips per 1,000 square feet Light Industrial 7.6 daily trips per 1,000 square feet Single Family Residential 9.0 daily trips per dwelling unit Multi-Family Residential 6.5 daily trips per dwelling unit

All uses will be subject to applicable use limitations of this GDP as well as the traffic limitations herein. For example, in the PD-BP/COMM zone district, commercial uses cannot exceed 30% of the site.

SAMPLE CALCULATION OF ALLOWED SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR A PARCEL USING TRAFFIC CAPACITY AND ZONING RESTRICTIONS.

Development Area No. 104
Zoning Designation: PD-BP/Comm.

Acreage: 66.3 acres

Step 1:

Total Site acreage: 66.3 acres or 2,888,028 square feet Total Trips allocated 20,127

Step 2
Maximum allowed commercial
(30% of site assumed at 25% FAR): 216,602 square feet

Step 3
Trip generation for maximum allowed commercial (@ 35 trips per 1,000 sq., ft.): 7,581 trips

Step 4
Remainder of trips for parcel: 20,127 minus 7,581 = 12,546 trips

Step 5
Allowable square footage for Business Professional uses:
12,546 trips divided by 17.7 (trip rate for BP uses) x 1,000 = 708,000 square feet

In the above example:

1. The use regulation (chapter 3.4.3) limits commercial uses in the BP/Comm Zone to 30% of the site. A 25% FAR is assumed for commercial development and 30% FAR assumed for office and light industrial. This limitation translates into a maximum of 216,602 square feet for commercial uses.

2. At 35 trips per 1,000 square feet, the maximum number of trips allocated for commercial uses is 7,581 trips.

3. That leaves a remainder of 12,546 trips for the parcel. That translates into 708,000 square feet of development.

4. Because there is no use limitation on other uses, the developer could elect to develop the entire 66.3 acres for office or other allowed use.

The “Potential Building Square Footage” shown in Table 8 has been computed using the zoning limitations of chapter 3.4.3 and the traffic capacity of chapter 3.4.4. The computation does not assume the maximum allowed commercial intensity in the PD- BP/Comm Zone or the maximum allowed business -professional office in the PD- 122
Northwest Rocklin GDP

Page 28 ends

to Ord No. XXXX
Comm. Zone. Instead, the potential maximum development intensity is calculated for both commercial and office uses to fit under the traffic capacity caps. It must be emphasized that this calculation is one of several possibilities for each parcel. In the PD-Comm. zone for example, it is possible for the entire site to be developed as commercial. In that case, the total building square footage would be smaller than what is shown in Table 8.

At least 20 percent of the Parcel K planning area shall be retained in open space.

9. PARCEL K ROCK FORMATIONS

The existing large rock formations located within the Parcel K planning area northwest of Kali Place shall be retained and preserved in open space. The open space designated to preserve these features shall be considered part of the total percentage of open space required for the planning area. (The open space and rock formations shall be placed within an HOA parcel or parcel dedicated to the City of Rocklin with appropriate funding mechanisms for maintenance).

10. PARCEL K VEHICULAR ACCESS

Primary vehicular access to future development within the Parcel K planning area shall be provided by at least two points of access. The access points shall consist of one street that intersects with Wyckford Boulevard and the extension of Kali Place. These facilities shall be open non-gated public streets.

11. SETBACK MODIFICATION

The Planning Commission an d/or City Council may modify the development standards for nontraditional single -family housing, such as zero lot lines and cluster housing, provided the overall density is not increased.

12. GATES

Gates that restrict access to neighborhood park sites shall be prohibited or must remain open between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

13. SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

Development standards for age -restricted senior housing (as defined by Civil Code Section 51.3 and the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1988) may be modified by up to 20%, including density increases. This modification is based on a) typical household size for this type of housing is less than 2 and b) trip generation for this type of housing is 4.6 trips per day compared to 9 trips per day for conventional single family. This density increase may not be combined with State density bonus pursuant to section 65915 of the Government Code for the provision of affordable housing.

14. AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

Development standards for affordable housing units pursuant to State law and/or the City of Rocklin Housing Element may be modified by up to 20%. Density increases shall be granted only in accordance with section 65915 of the Government Code.

15. TRIANGULAR VISIBLITY AREA

The “triangular visibility area” means the area at any corner formed by the intersection of two or more public streets. At the intersection of two residential streets, no accessory structure or fence is permitted within a triangle dimensioned twenty feet (20’) by twenty feet (20’), measured from the back of sidewalk. In the case of separated sidewalks, the triangle shall be measured from front of sidewalk. Landscaping and fences within the clear vision tria ngle shall be limited in a manner such that it does not hinder sight distance for vehicular or pedestrian traffic as determined by the Director of Public Works.

16. SALES OFFICE

a) The Community Development Director may approve the use of a temporary sales trailer, for a limited period of time, within the project area, subject to such standards and conditions as deemed necessary to ensure aesthetic qualities, public health, and safety.

b) The Community Development Director may approve the use of one o r more residences as model homes and the use of the garage of one model home as a sales office subject to such standards and conditions as deemed necessary to ensure aesthetic qualities, public health, and safety. Prior to approval of a final inspection for a model home the developer shall reconvert any garage used for sales office to a garage use to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.

3.5.3 Special Regulations for Multi-Family Residential Zones

1. BUILDING HEIGHT INCREASES

The maximum height for principal buildings in the PD -18, PD-20 and PD-22+ zones shall be as listed in Table 9. However, the maximum allowable height may be increased beyond the limits identified in Table 9 subject to justification provided and accepted as part of a Design Review approval.

2. PRIMARY ACCESS DESIGN

Private access drives shall be of circular design where possible and provide vehicular access at two or more points. Access drives which have but one point of access shall not exceed one hundred fifty feet (150’) in length; however, such drives may exceed 150 feet in length if the design includes turnaround arrangements or “emergency only” access arrangements to the satisfaction of City of Rocklin.

3. SECONDARY ACCESS DESIGN

Secondary access drives for private driveways may be installed with a minimum full travel pavement of 20 feet, within which parking shall be prohibited by layout and design features which reasonably assure that no part of the access will potentially be used for on or off-street parking by normally conscientious drivers.

4. FENCING ALONG STREETS

Open type fencing, a minimum of 4 feet in height, shall be incorporated into the project when multi -family units front along a public ro ad. The purpose of the fencing is to discourage residents from using the public road for on-street parking. The fence shall be sited parallel to the public roadway, with a minimum 5 feet setback.

5. SECURITY

Project design must incorporate security and saf ety considerations for occupants, including: fencing, gates, adequate lighting within public areas such as walkways, parking and play areas, location of children’s play areas and parking areas visible from dwelling units.

4. OUTSIDE STORAGE

All outside storage areas shall be screened by a combination of fencing, masonry walls, and grade separation. Outside storage without adequate screening is not permitted.

3.5.6 Off Street Parking

The off street parking shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.66 of the Rocklin Municipal Code.

3.6 Parks and Open Space – Sunset Ranchos / Whitney Ranch & Highway 65 Corridor

The plan designates 57.3 acres of public park, 5.2 acres of private recreation sites within the Sunset Ranchos / Whitney Ranch development area ; no public or private recreational facilities were anticipated in the Highway 65 Corridor as it was designated for commercial and office development. The Northwest Rocklin Annexation area as a whole provides for 199.8 acres of open space areas.

3.6.1 Parks

The City of Rocklin General Plan and Subdivision Ordinance require dedication of park acreage in the amount of five (5) acres of parkland per thousand (1,000) population of residents of any new development. Subdivisions of 50 parcels or more are required either to dedicate land for park purposes, to pay a dedication fee in lieu of land, or a combination of both to satisfy the development’s proportion of the adopted park acreage. The Sunset Ranchos /Whitney Ranch planning area of the General Development Plan is zoned to accommodate up to 4,347 dwelling units. At 2.6 persons per dwelling unit, the area is projected to generate up to 11,302 persons since the General Development Plan was adopted and with subsequent updates over the years.

Approximately 56.51 acres of parkland will be required to serve residents. The plan designates

57.3 acres of public park for a total of 62.5 acres . The public parkland includes one community park site of 40.3 acres and four neighborhood park sites totaling 17.0 acres. If areas of the Sunset Ranchos/Whitney Ranch planning area develop with higher residential densities than allowed currently and if portions of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation area outside of the Sunset Ranchos/Whitney Ranch planning area are converted to residential land uses , additional park lands may be necessary. The Sunset Ranchos/Whitney Ranch planning area also includes a 5.2 acre private recreation facility, which is not included in required public park acreage.

The community park location provides a large contiguous site with relatively flat terrain suitable for intense recreational activity such as softball, soccer, and the construction of swimming pools and recreational buildings. Other recreational activities and facilities may include walking, viewing, outdoor theatres, tot lots/playground, picnic areas and hard courts for basketball and tennis. Restrooms and off- street parking will be provided. Lighting for security and night activities on the recreational fields will be installed at the discretion of the City. It is anticipated that competitive level lighting will be installed in the ball field areas.

Neighborhood parks are intended to be the focal points of neighborhoods, sometimes in combination with elementary schools. Two of the five neighborhood parks are adjacent to elementary school sites. The other three are “free -standing.” The neighborhood parks are planned to serve population within ¼ to ½ mile radius, and generally will not provide for off - street parking. Recreational activities at these public parks may include the following: passive and active recreational interests, turf area for multi -use recreational activities, pre -school and school-aged/playgrounds, picnic areas, hard courts for basketball, and restrooms.

Park design will be at the discretio n of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council. The park sites have General Plan designations of PQP and are zoned as Planned Development - Parks. See Figure 6 for locations of parks.

3.6.2 Open Space

The plan preserves open space areas, which provide numerous passive and active recreational opportunities for future residents. The following areas have been identified for preservation and designated as open space:

♦ Areas with steep slopes in excess of 25%.
♦ All lands within the post development 100-year floodplain. ♦ Lands within 50 feet from the edge of the bank of all perennial and intermittent streams and creeks providing natural drainage, and to areas consisting of riparian habitat.
♦ Wetland resources associated with the area’s natural drainage ways.

Open space corridors are designed to:

a) Provide a buffer between land uses.
b) Preserve special areas of riparian or other botanical habitat including those subject to the conditions of any Federal or State wetland preservation permit requirements. c) Provide a corridor for off-street pedestrian and bikeway circulation. d) Provide a visually unifying natural element.
e) Encourage view corridors to points of orientation throughout the plan area; both for local, short range views to landmarks in the area, and long range views to the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range foothills.
f) Provide land for on-site management of stormwater drainage.

Development will be restricted in open space areas. Open space areas may be configured as common-interest parcels under control of individual or master Homeowners Association(s) (HOAs) or dedicated to the City of Rocklin with some other mechanism for fina ncing improvements and maintenance. Unless otherwise noted for improvements such as road crossings, utilities and pedestrian and bike trail, these areas will remain undeveloped. Open space areas are shown on Figure 6 - parks, open space and trail system map.

A Fuel Modification Plan (FMP) will be prepared concurrently with any subsequent entitlement for development of land which includes or is adjacent to an open space area to address the interface between open space areas and urban uses. The goal o f the FMP is to reduce the potential for fire and contain the spread of fire. It shall include, but not be limited to:

a) Access points as necessary into open space areas.
b) Appropriate clearances around homes.
c) Disposal of removed brush and trees within any firebreak area. 134

3.7 Schools

The plan provides a 50-acre high school site and two elementary school sites totaling 22.4 acres.

The two elementary school sites are located next to neighborhood park sites to provide joint - use opportunities. Consistent with City policy, public schools are allowed in all zoning designations in the City.

3.8 Circulation

The vehicular circulation system is designed to provide continuous access throughout the plan area, as well as connections to the existing community. The plan area’s roadway system also provides important regional roadway connections to SR 65, the City of Lincoln to the north, and through adjacent projects to Sierra College Boulevard.

Non-vehicular circulation within the plan area consists of a system of sidewalks, bike lanes and pedestrian trails. These sidewalks, bike lanes and trails provide non -vehicular access between neighborhoods, to schools/parks and open space, to neighborhood commercial facilities as well as to employment centers.

3.8.1 Interchanges

Interchanges are planned at Sunset Boulevard/SR 65 and Whitney Ranch Parkway /SR 65 intersections along the western boundary of the plan area. Funding for the future interchanges has been addressed in the financing plan for the GDP.

3.8.2 Vehicular Circulation System

The street system is organized in a hierarchy with three arterial streets carrying traffic to and throughout the plan area. Whitney Ranch Parkway is an east-west connection between Highway 65 and the Whitney Oaks development. Wildcat Boulevard will connect the existing community with Twelve Bridges in Lincoln. West Oak Boulevard will be extended through the plan area to connect to Whitney Ranch Parkway. University Avenue, is a 4-lane north-south, divided arterial parallel to Highway 65 that will provide access to the Highway 65 Corridor properties. The location of University Avenue from Whitney Ranch Parkway to Sunset Boulevard through the William J essup University site is conceptual. Ultimate alignment will be determined at subsequent project approvals and will be based on criteria such as acceptable street radius, connectivity to established signalized intersections and other environmental constra ints.

Collector streets will provide access into individual neighborhoods. Conceptual locations of collector streets along the arterial roads are shown on the Figure 7. Final alignments will be shown on subsequent Tentative Maps.

Wyckford Boulevard and Kali Place will provide access to Parcel K. These streets are currently stubbed to the Parcel K boundary. Under limitations defined in the North Rocklin Circulation Element, no more than 200 additional residential dwelling units shall be allowed to access 136
Northwest Rocklin GDP

Page 42 ends

to Ord No. XXXX
Wyckford Boulevard. Parcel K proposes development of up to 109 dwelling units consistent with the threshold established for Wyckford Boulevard.

Each elementary school site will be provided with a minimum of two street frontages to facilitate traffic circulation. A road may also be established on the east side of the high school to also facilitate circulation. Location and alignment of local streets will be shown on subsequent Tentative Maps.

A summary of major road improvements is provided in Table 11. Figure 7 shows the plan area’s arterial roadways, number of lanes and location of traffic signals. Right -of-way improvements for the roadways are shown in road cross-section on Figure 8.

3.8.3 Bikeway and Pedestrian Trail System

The City’s General Plan includes an on -street and off-street bicycle plan that interconnects the entire community on a bikeway trail system. Most of the major streets within the City have on- street bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.

The GDP bike and pedestrian trail system expands the city’s bike/pedestrian access concept beyond the public stre et rights -of-way and into planned open space corridors connecting neighborhoods, schools, parks, open space, commercial, and recreational (passive and active) uses.

This comprehensive community bike and pedestrian trail system is incorporated into the project design. The trail system will enhance the neighborhood village design with an extensive network of interconnected pedestrian and bikeway trails on- street and off- street within the planned open space corridors. These amenities are designed to encour age human activities and interactions within the pedestrian/bikeway and open space corridors, resulting in a greater sense of community. The network of trails and bike lanes will be fully accessible to the general public.

The trail system design includes a transitional component and two internal components. The transitional component links the City of Rocklin standard from existing major arterial streets into the project site. These segments will extend the Wildcat Boulevard, West Oaks Boulevard, and Park Drive standard on -street bike lanes and sidewalk improvements to points of transition in the North West Rocklin area where the internal trail system begins. Street landscaping for the transitional component has been increased from the standard 15 feet from arterial roads to a total of 27 feet (including a 6’ -wide sidewalk). The landscaping will be designed to provide a 6’ wide landscape buffer from the roadway, a 6’ wide sidewalk, and a 15’ landscape strip between the sidewalk and private property.

The two internal components include the community corridor and open space corridor trails.

The community corridor will be the centerpiece of the trail system. The community corridor places both the sidewalk and the bike paths within a 35 -38 foot landscape corridor located on one side and a single sidewalk within a 19-27 foot landscape corridor on the opposite side of the street. The 35 -38 foot wide corridor consists of a 10’ -wide paved bicycle and pedestrian trail, and 25-28 foot of landscaping. These corridors provide connections between the GDP village core and the multi -family residential and commercial land use areas. In addition, the trail will connect to the Whitney Oaks trail starting at the intersection of Park Drive and Whitney Oaks Drive. To facilitate the transition between the on-street bike lanes and the community corridor, the corridor begins at signalized intersections. The community corridor trail system is approximately four (4) miles long.

The open space trail cross -section is a 10’wide combined bike and pedestrian trail with 2 -foot shoulders on each side of the trail. Open space trails will be off-street facilities located generally, within or along open space corridors. The open space trails will connect the 40-acre community park and neighborhood parks with residential areas, forming an off -street trail network. This 140
Northwest Rocklin GDP

Page 46 ends

to Ord No. XXXX
will provide for the easy movement of pedestrians between neighborhoods and encourage the use of this non-vehicular form of travel. Open space drainage crossings will also be provided as shown to facilitate access and connections to residential neighborhoods. Approximately 3 miles of trails are provided within or along the open space corridors.

Cross sections of the community corridor and open space trail designs are depicted in Figure 8.

3.8.4 Open Space Crossings

Non-vehicular and emergency vehicle access crossings of open space within the project area are shown in Figure 6. These crossings have been located to provide critical transportation linkage to development areas and access to public facilities such as schools, parks and detention basins.

The approved Army Corps of Engineers’ (ACOE) Nationwide permit allows open space crossings.

Each crossing will be designed with minimal effects on wetland resources within the open space area and in accordance with conditions of the ACOE permit, as well as Streambed Alteration Agreements for each crossing.

3.9 Public Facilities and Services

The North West Rocklin Area General Development Plan will provide the entire infrastructure necessary to serve the needs of residents and users within the plan area. Services will be provided as follows:
