The development of Stanford Plaza Chipotle is conditioned on, among other things, annexation into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1. CFD No. 1 finances the operation and maintenance of fire protection and suppression services and ambulance and paramedic services.
The landowner has submitted a petition and waiver letter for CFD No. 1, which requests the annexation to occur and waives some of the procedural requirements for processing the annexation. With the petitions and waivers, the City Council may adopt the resolution of intention (Attachment 1) at this meeting, and proceed with the public hearing and election, and order the annexation at its regular meeting on March 26, 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation.
Annexation into CFD No. 1 would allow special taxes to be levied and collected to pay for services provided to the annexation territory.

Background:
NCCSIF Board Position
The City of Rocklin (City) is a member of the Northern California Cities Self Insured Fund (NCCSIF). NCCSIF is an association of cities and towns joined to protect member assets by stabilizing risk costs and providing members with broad coverage and quality services in risk management and claims management. On October 10, 2023, the City Council designated the Management Analyst of the Administrative Services Department as the City’s representative to the NCCSIF Board of Directors and the Senior Management Analyst from the Administrative Services Department as the alternate representative. Given recent assignment changes, staff recommends that the Director of Administrative Services be designated as the City’s NCCSIF Board of Directors representative and the Management Analyst from the Administrative Services Department be designated as the alternate representative.
Police Salary Schedule
The Police Department has two regular part-time positions, one Police Clerk (position number 947) and one Evidence and Property Technician (position number 547). Currently, both positions are vacant. After a review of the department's operational needs, staff recommends reclassifying and reallocating both regular part-time positions to the Assistant Evidence and Property Technician classification.
Item Number 2E.
25 Staff recommends that the classification of the Assistant Evidence and Property Technician classification be placed at salary range NSP7 ($57,732-$78,683) on the Police Salary Schedule and the salary be set consistent with the hourly equivalent salary.
Staff has satisfied the meet and confer obligation with the RPOA regarding the proposed changes in accordance with the City of Rocklin Employee-Employer Resolution.
Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, section 570.5 requires the City's salary schedules to be adopted at a public meeting.
RPOA Side Letter
Given a request by the Rocklin Police Officers’ Association (RPOA), staff recommends two articles be amended to the RPOA Memorandum of Understanding. Staff recommends the following amendments:
Amend Section IV, Article 33, 33.3.1 Sign-up Limitations and 33.3.6 Maximum Sign-up.
The current wording includes a limitation of one employee per week. The amended side letter will ensure that all dispatch staff have the opportunity to sign-up for extended Paid Time Off (PTO).
Amend Section V Article 41, 41.5.3, Work Hours and Schedules. Staff is recommending deleting Sections 41.5.3 and 41.5.4. The Police Department would like to eliminate the rotation of shifts after a two-year period; after contacting surrounding law enforcement agencies, it was found the industry standard has shifted to open bidding with no mandatory rotations.
Management Salary Schedule
On January 9, 2024, the City Council approved a City Attorney employment agreement (via Resolution No. 2024-014), which included an annual salary of $225,000. Therefore, staff recommends adopting the revised Management Salary Schedule to reflect the City Attorney salary of $225,000.
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 recommended change on the Police Salary Schedule has a fiscal impact to the General Fund of approximately $13,000 per year. In the current fiscal year, this will be offset with projected operational savings. There are no direct fiscal impacts anticipated from the other three staff recommendations.

The subject site is located on the southerly 10-acre portion of a 30-acre site at the northwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and University Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 017- 276-007 (portion) (Figures 2 and 3).
The 30-acre site is characterized by rocky and uneven terrain gently sloping to the northwest.
There is an approximately ten (10) foot wide sewer access road along the south and western boundaries of the parcel along the Sunset Boulevard and State Route 65 (SR-65) frontages.
Culverts were installed along the utility road to ensure appropriate drainage, and a rock lined storm drainage feature is located along the southeast portion of this road, to direct storm water runoff in to the City’s storm drain system. A soils stockpile exists in the southeast corner of the property.
The property is comprised primarily of annual grassland dominated by non-native annual grasses and forbs and much of it has been previously disturbed. Annual grasslands are interspersed with a number of vernal pools (0.456 acre) as well as two seasonal wetland swales (0.129 acre) that flow north towards an unnamed off-site tributary to Pleasant Grove Creek. There are no trees located on the project site.

38 Project Applicant and Ownership:
The applicant is Jeffrey Thompson with Morton and Pitalo, Inc. The property owner is TI Investors of Rocklin Holding Company LLC.
Summary of Planning Commission Hearing and Action:
On December 12, 2023, the Planning Commission (Commission) considered the proposed project. Following a presentation from staff and a statement from the applicant, the Commission had some questions about phasing of the project and when the different project components would be required to be constructed. Staff referenced the project phasing plan, which states that the first phase would include construction of the full common drive aisle and the gas station/carwash component of the project. As proposed, the project phasing plan is consistent with the requirements of the Estia at Rocklin project to the northwest, which is tied to the development of the University Square project (see additional details below).
Following this discussion, the Commission opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The Commission then closed the public hearing and began deliberations. The Commission stated that the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) had done a good job in helping the project to achieve architectural compatibility with the University Architectural District. The Commission said they were in support of the project and that the interface between University Square and Estia at Rocklin had been well designed. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 (one member absent) to recommend the project to the City Council for approval.
Site Background:
The 30-acre project property was annexed into the City of Rocklin as part of the Northwest Rocklin Annexation Area in 2004. Originally part of the William Jessup University (now Jessup University) property, the site was created as a separate lot through a 2004 parcel map that also established the right-of-way for University Avenue.
In 2005-2006, a paved utility road with associated drainage improvements was installed along the south and western boundaries of the parcel as part of a sewer project by the South Placer Municipal Utility District (SPMUD), and excess soils from that project were stockpiled in the southeast corner of the property.
In 2007, an application for a 287,000 square foot retail project called Rocklin Marketplace was submitted by a previous owner. The project was envisioned as a multiple major tenant- anchored shopping center with at least three casual dining or full-service restaurants and significant pedestrian amenities, including a large central plaza. However, the application never moved beyond the initial submittal as it was determined to be incomplete for processing and the applicant did not respond to requests for additional information. Due to inactivity, the application was eventually deemed to have been withdrawn.
In 2022, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment, General Development Plan, Rezone, and other entitlements to allow for a residential development on the northwestern 20-acre portion of the 30-acre site, while retaining the southeastern 10 acres for commercial development. The approved residential component, called Estia at Rocklin (DR2022-0012), originally provided for the development of a 181 unit, for-rent multi-family development. In 2023, a modification to the project was approved to increase the total number of units to 200 39 (Figure 4). The Estia at Rocklin project was conditioned to require it to be built concurrently with the commercial parcel (the University Square project). As such, the residential project and the commercial project are considered linked and equivalent to a horizontal mixed-use development.
Figure 4. Approved Estia at Rocklin Project (Not A Part) Additionally, on April 18, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a tentative parcel map to subdivide the 10-acre commercial parcel created by the Estia at Rocklin parcel map into seven lots, consistent with the Design Review and Conditional Use Permit applications that are the subject of this staff report. The project applicant had indicated that they needed to move the tentative parcel map forward more quickly to comply with contractual obligation with the seller of the property. The approved Tentative Map is included as Figure 5. 40 Figure 5. Tentative Parcel Map
Surrounding Uses:
The project site is located to the north of Sunset Boulevard, to the west of University Avenue and to the east of SR-65. To the north of the project site is undeveloped property designated as Mixed Use (MU) and farther north is property designated as Recreation/Conservation (R/C) containing a small pond. To the east , across University Avenue, is Jessup University and undeveloped land owned by Jessup University that is designated as Light Industrial. To the south is Sunset Boulevard with the Atherton Tech Center located beyond, and to the west is the northbound Sunset Boulevard on -ramp to SR -65, SR-65 itself, and partly developed land within unincorporated Placer County beyond.

42 General Plan and Zoning Compliance:
The 10 acres that comprise the University Square project site have a Business Professional (BP) land use designation and is zoned Planned Development Commercial (PD-C). Subject to approval of the proposed conditional use permit (CUP) discussed in detail below, the project is consistent with both the BP land use designation and the PD-C zoning.
Design Review and Conditional Use Permit Entitlements Review:
Pursuant to the City of Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC), conditional use permits and design reviews are discretionary entitlements that provide an opportunity for the City and outside agencies to analyze proposed development, and determine if the proposal is consistent with applicable land use designations, zoning and other applicable codes and standards. The proposal is also reviewed for compatibility with nearby existing development and allowed future uses. The Planning Commission, and in some cases City Council, consider that information and act on the proposal. Conditional Use Permits allow review of the operational aspects of a proposed use such as possible noise, odor, traffic or other potentially negative impacts to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Conditional Use Permits are also sometimes required to approve increases in building heights beyond what is allowed by right in the zone district.
With Design Review, staff analyzes the site design; access, circulation and parking; landscaping; walls and fences; architecture; and signage for compliance with the Citywide Design Review Criteria and other City codes and standards such as the provision of adequate on-site parking. Design Review is generally the analysis of the aesthetics of a development and how it fits within the context of the surrounding area.
Historically, staff and the Planning Commission have been charged with reviewing development proposals as noted above, for consistency with land use, zoning, and design review guidelines, and for compatibility with surrounding development. When establishing land use and zoning designations on a broad scale such as during the development or update of a City-wide General Plan, or on a slightly lesser scale during the development or update of a General Development Plan, overall factors such as land use balance, compatibility and fiscal considerations are analyzed and considered. Generally speaking, projects that involve just Conditional Use Permit and Design Review entitlements are analyzed specific to the items discussed in the above paragraphs and do not involve an in-depth review of land use balance or fiscal considerations such as the desirability of a particular use in support of the overall long-term economic goals of the City.
Conditional Use Permit:
As previously discussed, the project requires a CUP for four project components, consistent with the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan. The CUP allows the proposed use to be evaluated and a determination made as to whether it would be an appropriate and compatible use in this location.
43 These four components of the CUP are as follows:
1) Building height exceeding 30 feet within the Planned Development Commercial (PD-C) zoning district (proposed hotel building)
The Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan (GDP) states that the maximum building height within the PD-C zoning district is 30 feet with a maximum of three (3) stories. However, the GDP states that the maximum building height may be increased to 55 feet for developments along SR-65, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Additionally, Rocklin Municipal Code Section 17.08.060, states the following:
17.08.060 - Height regulation applicability—Exceptions.
The height regulations specified for the various zones in this title shall be subject to the height regulations and exceptions in this chapter, except that where chimneys, silos, cubicles, flagpoles, monuments, gas storage holders, radio and other towers, water tanks, church steeples and similar structures and mechanical appurtenances are permitted in the zone, height limits may be exceeded by a use permit.
As stated, this exception allows for towers and other similar structural features to exceed the maximum heights specified in applicable zoning standards, subject to approval of a CUP. The long-standing interpretation is that these types of features can be exempted from height standards for all zoning districts, including planned developments, through this use permit process.
The bulk of the proposed hotel in the western portion of the site would be constructed at approximately four stories and 48 feet in height. The tower elements with angled roofs would be just under 58 feet high at the peak of the roofs. The tower elements were added at the direction of the ARC to give the building more interest and architectural appeal.
The nearest existing building to the proposed hotel is one of the office buildings in the Atherton Tech Center, located approximately 400 feet to the south across Sunset Boulevard. The nearest approved residential building, would be in the Estia at Rocklin project, and would be located approximately 150 feet west of the hotel. The nearest proposed nonresidential building is the proposed daycare facility, which would be constructed approximately 80 feet north of the hotel. Due to the hotel’s location in relation to other existing, entitled, and proposed structures, it is anticipated that the proposed hotel’s height would have a minimal impact on surrounding uses and buildings. Additionally, the distinctive tower element on the front and rear elevations of the hotel has a significant positive impact on the appearance and aesthetics of the building, consistent with the direction from the ARC. Therefore, the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the conditional use permit to allow the requested deviation of the building height to exceed 30 feet. 44 2) Operation of “Hotel/Lodging” within the PD-C zoning district The proposed hotel would be four stories tall and would include 120 guest rooms. The facility would be located in the southwestern portion of the center adjacent to Sunset Boulevard, an arterial roadway which links Rocklin to nearby SR-65. Because the project is consistent with the site’s General Plan land use and zoning designations, the anticipated circulation and traffic generation impacts related to a hotel are similar to those analyzed as part of the original Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan as well as the Rocklin General Plan, and are consistent with the land use / traffic assumptions for the site used when designing and building the roadway network. The project would not, therefore, result in any significant or unanticipated traffic impacts.
As discussed previously, the property to the east of the project site is approved for development of the Estia at Rocklin project, a 200-unit for-rent residential project which was approved in 2022 and 2023. The nearest of these residential units would be located approximately 150 feet west of the hotel, on the opposite side of a 6-foot- tall CMU block wall to be constructed with the Estia at Rocklin project. Generally, hotels are considered to be relatively quiet uses unless they contain significant ballroom or large meeting facilities. The proposed hotel would include two small meeting / function rooms and a common area space open to all guests. There would also be two exterior patio areas, but no swimming pool is proposed. The meeting room and common areas and patio areas of the hotel would all be located on the opposite side of the structure from the Estia at Rocklin project, reducing the potential for negative noise or activity impacts on the residents of the Estia at Rocklin project. To further buffer the two projects, the hotel has been conditioned to plant relatively fast growing, evergreen deodar cedar trees instead of the standard parking lot shade trees shown on the plans along the western property line in the vicinity of the hotel, in order to provide additional screening along its shared boundary with the Estia at Rocklin project. In addition, the project has been conditioned to prohibit amplified outdoor audio equipment throughout the hotel site which would be audible beyond the shared property line.
Given the above, the operation of a hotel in this location is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the adjacent uses and is considered to be a compatible use with surrounding development, therefore the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a hotel at this location. 3) Operation of “Car Wash” (Stand alone or with a Gas Station) within the PD-C zoning district
The proposed car wash facility would be constructed as part of the associated Circle K gas station, in the central portion of the site directly adjacent to Sunset Boulevard.
Staff analyzed the proposed location and found that, based on the fact that there are no direct nearby residential uses or other sensitive receptors, operation of a car wash at this location will be compatible with the existing and proposed adjacent nonresidential uses. The closest residential uses are the approved Estia at Rocklin project. However, noise from the carwash operations is not anticipated to be an issue, as the nearest of these units is located more than 700 feet to the west. 45 The closest nonresidential building is the proposed “Shops 2” building, which is a multi-tenant pad with a drive-thru restaurant proposed approximately 40 feet to the east. This building does not include any proposed outdoor patio or seating areas.
Further, the carwash has been designed to be perpendicular to Sunset Boulevard, with entry located on the south and the exit located on the north side of the building.
The eastern portion, adjacent to Shops 2, would be a solid wall. Due to its location within the center and its proximity to other existing and proposed uses, it is anticipated that the proposed carwash would have a minimal impact to noise within the area.
Therefore, the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the conditional use permit to allow the requested car wash.
4) Operation of “Day Care Facilities” within the PD-C zoning district The project proposes operation of an approximately 10,000 square foot preschool/daycare with an approximately 13,700 square foot playground area in the northern portion of the center. According to the Project Description submitted as part of the application, the facility would be open to approximately 165 children ages six weeks to six years, and would operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, and would be closed on weekends. The facility is intended to care for children and help them develop physically, socially, and academically.
The nearest of the approved Estia at Rocklin residential units would be approximately 40 feet to the northwest of the daycare building, on the opposite side of a 6-foot-tall CMU block wall. The majority of the Estia at Rocklin project is single-story, although there are five (5) two-story buildings located along the shared property line with the University Square project. Only one of these two-story units, labeled with a “2” on Figure 7 , is adjacent to the proposed Daycare play area. All of the other homes adjacent to this site are single-story.
In order to reduce impacts from the daycare to the residential homes, the project has been conditioned to prohibit the source of any outdoor lighting within the day care site from being visible from any of the adjacent residential units, and to prohibit outdoor play until after 8:00 a.m. Based on these conditions, the daycare facility’s hours of operation (which have been included in the conditions of approval), and the 6-foot-tall CMU block wall that will separate the day care facility from the Estia at Rocklin project, it is anticipated that the proposed daycare would have minimal impacts to the surrounding area. Therefore, subject to the draft conditions of approval, the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the conditional use permit to allow the proposed day care facility at this location.
46 Figure 7. Proposed Daycare Site
Design Review:
General Design and Site Layout
The proposed commercial center is comprised of eight (8) total buildings (including the carwash) and a gas station canopy on seven (7) parcels. With the exception of Parcel 2, which would contain a convenience store, carwash building, and canopy, each of the proposed parcels would contain one building. In total, the project proposes 108,500 square feet of total floor area. See Figure 8.
The project has been designed to be pedestrian-friendly, and provides users the opportunity to access the site from the surrounding developments, and the project also provides outdoor seating and gathering spaces outside several of the various buildings throughout the site. 47 Figure 8. Project Site Plan
Access and Circulation
The site would be accessed by a right-in/right-out driveway on Sunset Boulevard and two driveway connections on to University Avenue. The main driveway access is proposed to be from a roundabout on University Avenue that would align with the existing entry to Jessup University. Site circulation would include a connection to the previously-approved Estia at Rocklin project. This connection serves as a second point of access for the Estia at Rocklin project and must be constructed prior to or concurrently with that project. Estia at Rocklin is approved as a gated community, so this connection would include an operable gate for resident use.
Drive aisles (25 ‐foot width minimum) will provide internal access throughout the site. The project has been reviewed by Fire and Engineering and it has been determined that the design complies with all drive aisle and turn radius requirements. 48 Frontage Improvements
The Estia at Rocklin and the University Square projects are both required to construct street widening and frontage improvements on both University Avenue and Sunset Boulevard to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. In order to ensure that these improvements are completed regardless of which of these projects is developed first, the University Square project has been conditioned, the same as the Estia at Rocklin project, to construct all of these same improvements, if they have not already been constructed as part of the Estia at Rocklin development. These improvements must be completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and Community Development Director prior to either project’s construction of buildings. These improvements, identified in the April 13, 2022 Fehr & Peers “Final Transportation Impact Study for Estia at Rocklin” and the August 26, 2022 Addendum to the Estia at Rocklin Transportation Impact Study, include the following:
1) Widen and install full frontage and roadway improvements along University Avenue from Sunset Boulevard to the northerly project boundary including:
a. Two southbound travel lanes and two northbound travel lanes. b. Southbound University Avenue at Sunset Boulevard intersection: two left turn lanes, one through lane (future combination left turn and through lane), and one free right turn lane.
2) Construct a roundabout at University Avenue and the first (southern) Jessup University driveway. The center treatment shall be landscaping, if sight distance would not be impaired, or decorative, stamped concrete to match Sunset Boulevard medians, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, Public Services Director, and City Engineer.
3) Construct a new signalized intersection at University Avenue and the second (central) Jessup University driveway.
4) Construct a dedicated right turn lane into the main project entrance and a dedicated right turn lane into the shared residential / commercial driveway at the signal. 5) Construct raised center medians with turn pockets within University Avenue. In areas of medians where landscape and irrigation are not feasible, decorative, stamped concrete to match that in the Sunset Boulevard medians shall be installed. 6) Construct frontage modifications / improvements along the easterly side of University Avenue as needed to accommodate the signal and roundabout. 7) Construct a Class II bike lane within the western side of University Avenue improvements. The new bike lanes shall be properly aligned and provide adequate transition to existing bike lanes.
8) Install tubular metal fencing or other similarly effective pedestrian barricades at the back of curb on east and west sides of University Avenue to prevent uncontrolled 49 pedestrian crossings of that street at approaches to and within the roundabout at the entry to Jessup University, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. 9) At the roundabout and at the signalized intersection, the driveway entries to Jessup University shall include the enhanced pavement treatment consistent with that provided for the project.
10)Construct modifications to lane configurations and signal operations at the Sunset Boulevard/University Avenue/Atherton Road intersection, including conversion of the planned southbound through lane to a shared left/through lane; modifying the southbound right-turn to provide a channelized free right-turn movement; and adding a right-turn overlap phase for westbound right-turns.
11)Widen and install frontage improvements along Sunset Boulevard, including:
a. East of University Avenue, widen and construct frontage improvements to provide three westbound through lanes and a right turn lane onto University Avenue, including curb, gutter, curb cut to retain utility access driveway with removable bollards or another acceptable barrier, and detached sidewalk.
Applicant to work with SPMUD to explore multi-use of City sidewalk with existing paved sewer access road. Existing landscaping and irrigation that is not removed to accommodate the frontage improvements shall be protected and retained; landscaping and irrigation that is damaged by construction, if any, shall be restored as accommodated by the roadway improvements. b. East of University Avenue, install a Class II bike lane. The new bike lane shall be properly aligned and provide adequate transition to existing bike lanes. c. Prior to the submission of improvement plans, the fourth through lane improvements west of University Avenue on Sunset Boulevard shall be removed from the project.
d. Install University Avenue and Sunset Boulevard signalization improvements, including a marked crosswalk and corresponding pedestrian equipment (pedestrian head, push buttons, etc.) for pedestrian travel across the north leg of Sunset Boulevard/Atherton Road/University Avenue intersection.
Parking
The University Square project has been designed to comply with RMC Chapter 17.66 with regard to parking requirements. Pursuant to the proposed design, the project requires 304 total parking spaces (Table 2). The project has been designed to construct 311 total parking spaces, which exceeds the City’s parking requirements by 7 spaces. The project will be conditioned to provide for reciprocal access and parking throughout the commercial center. 50 Table 2. Parking Requirements
Use Requirement Parking Spaces Required
Hotel (120 rooms) 1 space per sleeping room 120
Gas Station (3,700 s.f.) 1 space per 200 s.f. 19

Project Phasing
As referenced above, the development of the previously-approved Estia at Rocklin project is tied to the development of the University Square project. The Design Review approval for the Estia at Rocklin project (Resolution No. 2023-24) includes the following conditions of approval:
22. Phasing
a. The project shall not be issued approved and signed improvement plans until the adjacent commercial project (proposed commercially zoned approximately ten (10) acre parcel bordering the proposed residentially zoned approximately twenty (20) acre parcel subject to this Design Review entitlement) has been issued its approved and signed improvement plans. (PLANNING,
ENGINEERING)
b. Construction improvements, defined as rough grading of both sites, shall commence at the same time for the project and the adjacent commercial project. (PLANNING, ENGINEERING)
c. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the project, the commercial project developer shall obtain the first license for a hotel user on the adjacent commercial project or the first building permit for one of the other commercial buildings in the adjacent commercial project. Verification of the hotel license on the adjacent commercial project shall be provided to and subject to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. (PLANNING, BUILDING) The University Square project is proposing to phase development consistent with Figure 9 below. Pursuant to the project phasing plan, the first phase would include construction of the full common drive aisle and the gas station/carwash component of the project, as shown in yellow, and all street frontage improvements. Subsequent phases would follow, consistent with the demand of the market and pursuant to the developer’s timeline. This project timeline complies with the previously discussed conditions of approval. 51 Figure 9. Project Phasing Plan
Building Architecture
According to the project architects, the architectural style of the buildings was developed to complement the adjacent Estia at Rocklin project and maintain the modern architectural style described in the University District Guidelines. As shown in Figures 10 through 20, the building Architecture includes several of the design elements found in the guidelines, including the following:
1) Deep contrasting color and material palette.
2) Enhanced articulation of building corners/entrances with recessed storefronts and projecting exposed structural elements, low sloping cantilevered roof structures/awnings.
3) Building facades developed with a strong use of linear lines. 4) Use of metallic surfaces for mechanical screens and awnings. 52 Figure 10. University Avenue Roundabout (Facing West) Figure 11.

57 Figure 20. Project Elevations – Gas Station & Carwash Gathering Area
In the central portion of the site in front of Shops 1, an approximately 6,500 square foot gathering space will be constructed. This gathering space, which will be the main focal point of the center, will be two to three feet higher in elevation and will provide for space for residents and travelers to sit down for lunch or to just enjoy the center in a public setting. See Figures 21 and 22.
58 Figure 21. Shops 1 Gathering Area (Facing Northeast) Figure 22. Gathering Area
59 Landscaping
The Project’s landscaping will consist of a variety trees, shrubs, and groundcover to provide seasonal interest and scale to the site. These plant selections will follow the Northwest Rocklin General Development requirements, as well as the design and palette from the adjacent Estia at Rocklin residential property to ensure continuity of design. Boulders will be integrated into the planting areas to provide added interest and follow the theme of the surrounding development. Large canopy parking lot shade trees, vertical shrubs, and low groundcover plants will soften the transition as the user moves through the site. Columnar and small accent trees within the site will provide form and context to the buildings. Vegetated swales with grasses will provide on-site storm water management along with areas of permeable pavers. See Figure 23.
Figure 23. Landscaping Plan
60 Signs
The applicant has proposed a uniform sign program, which is included as part of the project Design Review. The intent of the uniform sign program is to provide the guidelines necessary to achieve a visually coordinated, balanced and appealing sign environment which is consistent with the architecture of the project.
In addition to standard tenant wall signage throughout the center, the project proposes five (5) freestanding monument signs. The design and location of these signs is shown on Figure
24. Consistent with the requirements of the Rocklin Sign Ordinance (RMC 17.75), the project will allow for one (1) 15-foot-tall entry sign on Sunset Boulevard, and a series of smaller 6- foot-tall signs spaced along both project frontages, including one electronic gas station pricing sign on Sunset Boulevard. The project also proposes one (1) 8-foot-tall corner element sign stating “University Square” at the Sunset Boulevard and University Avenue intersection. This sign would not include any commercial tenant information.
The Planning Commission and staff find that the proposed uniform sign program is generally consistent with the Rocklin Sign Ordinance and recommends it for approval as part of the proposed Design Review.
61 Figure 24. Monument Signage
62 Architectural Review Committee
On August 17, 2023, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) considered the architecture for the University Square project. The ARC was generally supportive of the Project’s architecture and determined that it generally complied with the University Architectural District requirements, as well as with the previously approved Estia at Rocklin project.
However, the ARC did provide some direction with regard to modifications to the project, including enhancement to the side elevations of the hotel (especially on the south elevation facing Sunset Boulevard), modifying the hotel colors to increase contrast and to improve consistency with the other shops within the center, and incorporate angled/pitched roofs where possible, particularly on the hotel and gas station buildings, which had been proposed with flat roof lines and limited horizontal articulation.
Ultimately, the ARC recommended approval of the Project architecture 5-0 with direction that the applicant work with staff to make the requested modifications prior to the project moving forward to the Planning Commission. Figure 25 shows the original designs of the hotel and gas station buildings which were presented to ARC and Figure 26 shows the proposed elevations as modified in consultation with staff to meet the direction of the ARC. 63 Figure 25. Original Architecture
64 Figure 26. Modified Architecture
Environmental Determination:
On September 27, 2022, the Rocklin City Council approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) of environmental impacts and a mitigation monitoring program for both the Estia at Rocklin and University Commercial project (now known as University Square) via Resolution No. 2022-192. For the University Square site, the mitigated negative declaration (MND) analyzed development of a 4-story, 78,416 +/- square foot (sf) hotel, a 3,700 +/- sf convenience store/gas station with 6 fueling stations, a 2,500 sf +/- quick serve restaurant with drive-through, a 2,200 sf +/- quick serve restaurant with drive-through, a 7,700 sf +/- in- line retail shop, a 7,800 sf +/- in-line retail shop, a 9,900 sf +/- daycare facility, and an outdoor gathering space with enhanced paving, seating and enhanced landscaping. The total square 65 footage of the analyzed development was 112,216 square feet, approximately 3,700 square feet larger than the project as now proposed.
Due to the modification described above, a Trip Generation and Circulation Assessment for University Square Development (Assessment), dated May 4, 2023, prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants, was submitted. The Assessment analyzed the modifications to the University Square project since preparation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration to determine if there were any additional impacts or mitigation measures that would be needed as a result of the changes to the project. The Assessment stated that the development is substantially similar in composition and size of each use. The originally-analyzed commercial development was expected to generate 5,843 daily net external trips, including 432 a.m. peak hour trips and 443 p.m. peak hour trips; whereas the currently proposed project is expected to generate approximately 5,607 daily trips, including 462 a.m. peak hour trips and 415 p.m. peak hour trips. The Assessment concluded that the revised project would generate fewer daily trips and fewer peak hour trips, and that the slight modification of the site would not result in any impacts beyond what was identified in the previous MND. The Assessment concluded that the proposed site plan would have adequate circulation to serve all proposed uses.
Given the above, the proposed project may rely on the previously approved MND, and no additional environmental analysis is required.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the University Square project as proposed and conditioned.

Depending on the distance from an active Swainson’s hawk nest to the project area, the applicant shall mitigate for the loss of suitable Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat by implementing one of the below measures:
• Active nest identified within 1 mile of the project area: One acre of suitable foraging habitat shall be protected for each acre of suitable foraging habitat developed.
83
Reso. No.
• Active nest identified within 5 miles (but greater than 1 mile) of the project area: 0.75-acre suitable foraging habitat shall be protected for each acre of suitable foraging habitat developed.
• Active nest identified within 10 miles (but greater than 5 miles) of the project area: 0.5-acre suitable foraging habitat shall be protected for each acre of suitable foraging habitat developed.
• If there are no active nests within 10 miles of the project, no foraging habitat mitigation is required.
ii. Consistent with the Northwest Rocklin General Development Plan Conditions of Approval, the mitigation may be in the form of mitigation bank credits, conservation easements, fee title to an appropriate entity, or other land protection mechanism acceptable to the City. The replacement rate is a minimum of 0.50 acre for each 1.0 acre of disturbed habitat. The location of the habitat area is encouraged, but not required to be within Placer County. Habitats located within the north half of the Central Valley, from the Stanislaus River to Redding shall be deemed acceptable. iii. If an active Swainson’s hawk nest tree is located in proximity to the project site, prior to the start of grading or construction activities, the applicant shall submit documentation of providing mitigation for Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat as detailed above, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.

Department: Community Development
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a Two-Year Time Extension of a Tentative Subdivision Map, an Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit, and a Design Review (Quarry Row Time Extension / SD2016-0003, TRE2016-0002 and DR2016-0003).
Proposal/Application Request:
This application is a request for approval of a two-year extension of time for the following previously-approved entitlements to allow the development of the Quarry Row project:
A Tentative Subdivision Map (SD2016-0003) to subdivide approximately 7.4 gross acres into 74 single-family residential building lots.
o 7 of these lots require affordable housing (80% Area Median Income) A Design Review (DR2016-0003) to approve the architectural designs, colors, materials, layout, and landscaping of the 74 single-family homes. An Oak Tree Preservation Permit (TRE2016-0002) to allow the removal and mitigation of five (5) oak trees.
Location:
The subject site consists of six (6) parcels located on the southeasterly corner of Pacific Street and Grove Street, at 4545 Pacific Street. The Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) are 045-031-001, 045-031-002, 045-031-003, 045-031-004, 045-031-005-510 and 045- 031-047. See Figures 1 & 2.

Owner/Applicant:
The property owner/applicant is Pacific Grove Rocklin, LLC; contact Todd Lowell.
Previous Approval:
The City Council originally approved the Quarry Row project on January 26, 2021. The project included a General Plan Amendment (GPA2016-0001), General Development Plan (PDG2016-0001), Rezone (Z2016-0001), Tentative Subdivision Map (SD2016- 0003), Design Review (DR2016-0003), and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2016-0002), see Attachments 2 & 3. Consistent with the requirements of the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) at that time, the project approval was valid for three years (through January 26, 2024). It should be noted that the General Plan Amendment, General Development Plan Amendment, and Rezone have all gone into effect and do not require entitlement extensions.
Proposed Time Extension:
On January 2, 2024, the applicant submitted a request for an extension for the Quarry Row project (Attachment 1). According to Section 16.24.040 of the RMC, this application automatically extended the project for 60 days, or until the application for extension is acted upon by the City Council, whichever occurs first. RMC Section 16.24.040 provides the City Council the authority to approve one or more extensions of time, not exceeding an additional six years beyond the initial thirty-six months allotted for filing a final map (a total of nine years). The application must incorporate a justification for the extension approval, an explanation outlining the reasons for not finalizing the map within the initial timeframe, and a projected timeline for anticipated project activities.
In the extension request, the owner/applicant submitted a justification statement outlining the grounds for seeking additional time to advance the project. The rationale cited was that that applicant has not yet been able to locate a builder willing to construct the project, due to the requirement to include seven (7) affordable units (approximately 10 percent of the project), which was a condition of approval for the original project. In addition, the request states that permits and fees, land development, and construction costs have increased significantly in the past three years, which has further delayed the project.
The justification states that the improvement plans have been reviewed by the City and other relevant agencies and are nearly ready for approval. In addition, the final map has been prepared and processed through the City and is also close to being ready for recordation. The owner/applicant intends to market the project to qualified builders in the spring of this year, and, if successful, hopes to target construction beginning in the summer.
Staff reviewed the justification statement and has determined that the applicant has been diligent in pursuing the development of the project. If approved, the requested time extension would extend the Tentative Subdivision Map, Design Review, and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit entitlements through January 26, 2026. 192
Staff Findings:
Staff finds this request to be consistent with the existing General Plan designation and zoning, and with the requirements of the Government Code; and further finds the proposed project to be compatible with existing and anticipated development of surrounding residentially and commercially designated properties.
Environmental
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously approved by the Rocklin City Council via Resolution No. 2021-18. Project specific analysis was conducted and potential impacts of the Quarry Row project were identified in the EIR document. Because no changes are proposed as part of this request for extension to the previously approved project, pursuant to Section 15162 of California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), no additional environmental review is required.

RESOLUTION NO 2021-20
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN APPROVING A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP TO DIVIDE A 7.4-ACRE SITE INTO 74 SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND AN
OAK TREE PRESERVATION PERMIT
(Quarry Row Subdivision / SD2016-0003; TRE2016-0002)
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:
A. The Tentative Subdivision Map and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (SD2016-0003 and TRE2016-0002) allows the subdivision of an approximately 7.4-acre site into 74 medium high density single-family residential lots, with associated streets and related improvements, and the removal of five oak trees.
B. The street identified as “Quarry Row” on the Tentative Subdivision Map, as depicted in Exhibit A, shall be a public street; all other project improvements including but not limited to alleys and landscaped areas are to be owned and maintained by the project Home Owners Association.
C. An Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project has been certified via City Council Resolution No. 2021-18.
D. The Planning Commission recommended the tentative subdivision map and oak tree preservation permit for approval at its regular meeting of December 15, 2020 with a vote of 5-0.
E. The City Council has considered the effect of the approval of this subdivision on the housing needs of the City and the region, and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. The subdivision would facilitate construction of 74 single- family residential units on an approximately 7.4 acre site, which has remained primarily vacant and underutilized for decades. The construction of these residential units would increase housing availability. Approximately 10 percent of the units would be set aside for low income buyers, thereby assisting to meet additional needs of the region.
F. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA2016- 0001), General Development Plan Amendment (PDG2016-0001) and Rezone (Z2016- 0001) for the property being processed concurrently. As part of the project, the site has been redesignated to Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) in the General Plan land use map and rezoned to Planned Development Residential 10.5 dwelling units per acre (PD-10.5) as part of the Quarry Row General Development Plan. The proposed 74-unit 195
Reso. No. 2021-20
subdivision on an approximately 7.4 acre site is consistent with the MHDR designation and the PD-10.5 zoning district.
G. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the objectives, policies and programs in the City of Rocklin's General Plan. General Plan Housing Element Policy 3.4 states that the City should work with developers requesting General Plan Amendments converting a higher density residential category to a lower density residential category to incorporate affordable housing as a component of the overall development. The project proposes to initially sell approximately 10 percent of the units to a person or family earning 80 percent or less Area Median Income (AMI). The project will therefore benefit the City by helping it to meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) obligations.
H. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development. The project site is largely flat and is devoid of any wetlands or other environmental constraints. All utilities and other services are available and located within close proximity to the site.
I. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, nor will they substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. There are no sensitive environmental features on the site. The site does not contain any known habitat or wetland areas. Prior to construction, the project will implement mitigation measures included in the project’s Environmental Impact Report to reduce any potential impacts to the environment to a less than significant level.
J. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems. The project would facilitate construction of 74 single- family residential units on an approximately 7.4 acre site, which has remained primarily vacant and underutilized for decades. The site is bordered on the east and south by single-family residential neighborhoods, on the west by an existing mobile home park, and on the north by various nonresidential uses. The proposed subdivision is consistent with surrounding uses.
K. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, because none exist on this project site.
L. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities by laying out lot on a north/ south or east/ west orientation to better allow future homes to take advantage of solar exposure for heating and the westerly delta breeze that typically blows in from the coast on summer evenings for cooling.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-21
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN APPROVING A DESIGN REVIEW
(Quarry Row Subdivision / DR2016-0003)
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:
A. Design Review (DR2016-0003) approves the landscaping and architectural designs, colors and materials of medium high density single family residences within the Quarry Row subdivision located on the southeast corner of Pacific Street and Grove Street.
B. An Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project has been certified via City Council Resolution No. 2021-18.
C. The Planning Commission recommended the design review for approval at its regular meeting of December 15, 2020 with a vote of 5-0.
D. The design of the site is compatible with surrounding development, natural features, constraints, and traffic flow. The architectural design, colors and materials, and landscaping of the proposed single-family homes are consistent with those of surrounding single-family homes and with the Citywide Design Guidelines. The architectural design of the homes will have no impact on traffic flow.
E. The height, bulk, area, color scheme and materials of the buildings and structures are compatible with surrounding development. The proposed single-family homes are two stories in height (approximately 25 feet tall). Single-family residential neighborhoods located to the east and south are zoned R1-6, which has a maximum height of 30 feet. Home sizes range from approximately 1,200 s.f. to approximately 1,500 s.f. While this size is somewhat smaller than other homes in the neighborhood, it is not inconsistent with home sizes allowed within the R1-6 zoning district. The color schemes are fairly typical for single-family homes and are consistent with surrounding development.
F. The buildings and structures have been oriented with consideration given to minimizing energy consumption and maximizing use of natural lighting. The proposed homes have large windows to maximize natural lighting and utilize a minimum of two street trees on every lot to provide shading and to help minimize energy consumption.
The project shall be consistent with all California Building Code requirements. 233
Reso. No. 2021-21
G. Parking is consistent with the requirements of the Rocklin Municipal Code. The project provides two parking spaces within a garage, which are conditioned to be utilized for parking only, to be enforced by the project’s Home Owner’s Association. Visitor parking would be accommodated by 46 on-site, off-street parking spaces located on Alley B and Parcel N. An additional 59 on-street parking spaces would be available on Grove Street and along both sides of the proposed “Quarry Row”.
H. The landscaping design is compatible with surrounding development and has been designed with provisions for minimizing water usage and maintenance needs.
The landscaping is consistent with the requirements of the Citywide Design Guidelines and is consistent with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The project requires installation of an automatic irrigation system and certification by a landscape architect that the landscape plans meet the requirements of the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act.
I. The design of the site and buildings or structures is consistent with the goal and policies of the General Plan, as well as the land use designation proposed in the General Plan Amendment being processed concurrently (GPA2016-0001) and with the zoning, regulations, standards, and restrictions proposed in the General Development Plan Amendment and Rezone (PDG2016-0001 and Z2016-0001) being processed concurrently. The homes are consistent with the Citywide Design Guidelines and have been designed to be consistent with all development standards of the Quarry Row General Development Plan.
Section 2. The Design Review for the Quarry Row (DR2016-0003) as depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, is hereby approved subject to the conditions listed below. The approved Exhibit A shall govern the design and construction of the project. Any condition directly addressing an element incorporated into Exhibit A shall be controlling and shall modify Exhibit A. All other plans, specifications, details, and information contained within Exhibit A shall be specifically applicable to the project and shall be construed as if directly stated within the conditions for approval. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the applicant / developer shall be solely responsible for satisfying each condition prior a final Building Permit Inspection or Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy as applicable. The agency and / or City department(s) responsible for ensuring implementation of each condition is indicated in parenthesis with each condition.
B. Conditions
1. Screening of Mechanical Equipment
a. The appearance of large utility features such as double detector check valves shall be minimized through the use of utility blankets or other 234
Reso. No. 2021-21
acceptable screening methods. The developer shall also demonstrate that these facilities have been moved as far as possible from the public right-of-way. (PLANNING)
b. Fire risers shall be located either within a garage or in a wall cavity with an access panel. (PLANNING)
2. House Design
a. House architecture, colors, materials, and lighting shall be as shown in Exhibit A, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. (PLANNING, BUIDLING)
b. All side and rear elevations fronting or visible from a public street (Grove Street, Pacific Street, Quarry Row) shall utilize enhanced side and / or rear elevations as applicable, as shown in Exhibit A, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. (PLANNING, BUIDLING)
c. All side and rear elevations adjacent to existing residential homes to the east and south (Lots 1, 4, 5, 10, 11, 16, 20, 21, 26, and 27) shall utilize enhanced side and / or rear elevations for the second story as applicable, as shown in Exhibit A, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, (PLANNING, BUILDING)
d. All windows or glass doors with a view of Pacific Street shall be fitted with Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating 35 minimum rated assemblies. This would apply specifically to the first row of units closest to Pacific Street, including facades with a perpendicular view of Pacific Street. This conclusion assumes the use of a 3-coat stucco building construction and carpeted room. As an alternative to this blanket requirement, a detailed analysis of interior noise control measures may be conducted when project building plans and flooring types are available. The detailed analysis shall outline specific window, door, and building façade noise control measures utilized to achieve compliance with the 45 dB Ldn interior noise level standard.
{MM XII.-1} (PLANNING, BUILDING)
e. Air conditioning or mechanical ventilation shall be provided for all residences constructed within this development to allow occupants to keep doors and windows close for acoustical isolation.
{MM XII.-2} (PLANNING, BUILDING)
235
Reso. No. 2021-21
f. Mechanical ventilation penetrations for bath fans shall not face towards Pacific Street. Where feasible these vents shall be routed towards the opposite side of the building (away from Pacific Street) to minimize sound intrusion to sensitive areas of the building.
Where vents must face towards Pacific Street, the duct work shall be increased in length and make as many “S” turns as feasible prior to exiting the dwelling. Flexible duct work is the preferred ducting for this noise mitigation. Where the vents exit the building, a spring loaded flap with a gasket shall be installed to reduce sound entering the duct work when the vent is not in use.
{MM XII.-3} (PLANNING, BUILDING)
g. Prior to approval of construction documents, the project shall shorten the length of driveways/paseos to provide as much distance between these features and the existing residential neighborhoods while still maintaining the minimum length for safety/circulation to allow for enhanced landscaping, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. (PLANNING, ENGINEERING)
3. Landscaping and Fencing
a. Landscape plans shall demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the State Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance. (PLANNING,
BUILDING)
b. Front yard landscaping as applicable to each lot shall be installed, including shrubs and turf, as shown in the Typical Front Yard and Typical Front Yard Corner Lot Condition landscape details, Exhibit A of the concurrent tentative subdivision map (SD2016-0003). A minimum of one shade tree shall be planted in the front yard of interior lots and a minimum of two shade trees shall be planted in the front yard of corner lots, with consideration given to appropriate placement within the reduced PUEs, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, prior to the final inspection for each home. (PLANNING,
BUILDING)
c. Fencing shall be modified to block lighting from vehicle headlights. At the terminus of each alley/parking lot drive aisle adjacent to existing single family residences to the east and south of the project site, a six-foot tall masonry wall (or similar feature) shall be installed the width of the alley 236
Reso. No. 2021-21
or drive aisle to block headlights from shining into existing residential neighborhoods, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. (PLANNING, BUILDING)
4. Air Quality
a. Electrical receptacles shall be installed in the front and rear/patio side exterior walls of the units to promote the use of electrical landscaping equipment.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN
APPROVING A TWO-YEAR TIME EXTENSION OF A TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP,
AN OAK TREE PRESERVATION PLAN PERMIT, AND A DESIGN REVIEW (QUARRY ROW TIME EXTENSION /
SD2016-0003, TRE2016-0002 and DR2016-0003)
The City Council of the City of Rocklin does resolve as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Rocklin finds and determines that:
A. On January 26, 2021, the City Council of the City of Rocklin approved a Tentative Subdivision Map (SD2016-0003) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2016-0002) via City Council Resolution No. 2021-20 and a Design Review (DR2016-0003) via City Council Resolution No. 2021-21 to allow for the architectural design and development of 74 single-family residential lots and the removal of five (5) oak trees.
B. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously approved by the Rocklin City Council via Resolution No. 2021-18. Project specific analysis was conducted and potential impacts of the Quarry Row project were identified in the EIR document. Because no changes are proposed as part of this request for extension to the previously approved project, pursuant to Section 15162 of California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), no additional environmental review is required.
C. The project applicant has applied to extend the three project entitlements (SD2016-0003, TRE2016-0002, and DRE2016-0003) for two additional years through January 26, 2026, consistent with the provisions of the Rocklin Municipal Code.
D. The approved project, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the zoning classification on the property.
E. The approved project, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs in the City of Rocklin's General Plan.
F. The site is physically suitable for the approved type and density of development.
G. The approved design of this project is compatible with surrounding development, natural features and constraints.
273
of Reso. No. 2024-
H. The height, bulk, area, color scheme and materials of the approved buildings and structures are compatible with surrounding development.
I. The design of the approved project and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, nor will they substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
J. The design of the approved project and type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems.
K. The design of the approved project and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision.
L. The design of the approved project provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
Section 2. The extensions of time for the Quarry Row Tentative Subdivision Map (SD2016-0003) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2016-0002), originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 2021-20, and the Design Review (DR2016-0003), originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 2021- 21, are hereby approved, subject to the original terms and conditions of those approvals, any subsequent amendments thereto, and the conditions described below.
A. Conditions
1. This entitlement shall extend the expiration date of City Council Resolutions No. 2021-20 and No. 2021-21 for two years, to January 26, 2026.
2. The originally-approved resolutions and associated exhibits shall govern the design and construction of the project.
