INTRODUCTION
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) Area Water Conservation Plan (Plan) has been prepared at the request of Brookfield Residential Properties, Inc. (Brookfield) to meet the ARSP process.
WATER CONSERVATION PLAN PURPOSE
In February 2008, then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced a seven-part comprehensive plan for improving the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. As part of this effort, the Governor directed state agencies to develop a plan to reduce statewide per capita urban water use by 20 percent by the year 2020. In February 2010, the State Water Resources Control Board issued the 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan.
As part of the response to the 20x2020 Plan, the City has a requirement that all new specific plan projects incorporate water conservation measures into the overall project design such that the overall water demands (both potable and recycled) are reduced. The City has an overall conservation goal of 20% for potable and irrigation water usage throughout the City.
This Plan presents potentially feasible measures and guidance that can result in a reduction of the projected overall water usage within the ARSP Area, which will contribute towards the City-wide conservation goal. The projected reduction in water use will be established as part of this Plan through a process of: estimating the baseline water demands without conservation measures; identification of potentially feasible conservation measures; and estimation of the resultant water demands with application of the identified conservation measures. This Plan has been developed in conformance with the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) as a minimum.
ARSP AREA LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
Project Vicinity
The ARSP Area consists of approximately 694.4 acres located in the northwest edge for the the plan area was recognized as a
logical growth extension for the City. The Specific Plan Area is bounded on the southwest by the Al Johnson Wildlife Area, to the west by the Gleason property, to the south by the Creekview Specific Plan Area, to the east by the future proposed Placer Ranch Specific Plan Area and to the north by the existing Toad Hills Ranches #1 area and unincorporated Placer County. The project vicinity is shown on Figure 1.
Figure 1 – ARSP Area Project Vicinity
Pre-Development Conditions
The pre-development conditions of the ARSP Area were as a cattle ranch and for irrigated crops. The primary use was open grazing land, but included a small ranch house and out buildings. The land is gently rolling terrain generally trending to the west and south. Minor drainages flow in a radial pattern from a slight rise in the northeast quadrant of the property.
The elevation changes from approximately 115 feet to 71 feet gently from the northeast down to the southwest.
The site vegetation is generally limited to short, seasonal grasses. There are several oak trees located along University Creek and a number of non-native trees located around the former ranch house. Wetland conditions and their associated flora and fauna are located in small areas typically along the drainage corridors and in flats along the southern boundary.
Figure 2 highlights the ARSP Area pre-development conditions.
Figure 2 – ARSP Area Pre-Development Conditions
ARSP Area Development Opportunities and Constraints
The proposed ARSP Area land use plan is influenced by several factors, including the physical setting, land use and circulation conditions, and public policies. Two significant aspects that influence the development of the land plan are described below and depicted on Figure 3.
Placer Parkway
The proposed Placer Parkway will be a dominant feature that sweeps through the ARSP Area. Interchanges at Fiddyment Road and Santucci Boulevard will provide access to the ARSP Area.
Open Space and Resources Preservation
The ARSP Area will support open space and resource preservation by providing permanent open space. In combination with the 1,700-acre open space afforded by the City of Roseville Al Johnson Wildlife Area, this open space provides connectivity with open space within the Creekview Specific Plan Area, and lands to the east of the ARSP Area.
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan will provide an open space corridor that includes a regional trail system. In addition, the corridor will provide a permanent preservation area for wetland resources.
Figure 3 – ARSP Area Opportunities and Constraints
ARSP Area Land Use Plan
The ARSP Area provides for a mix of land uses to achieve the desired community form and objectives. These land use designations include low-, medium- and high density residential uses; commercial and office uses; which in some cases are sited with one another and/or with residential uses, public and quasi-public uses for the schools and civic activities such as a fire station, parks and open space uses, and an urban reserve.
At buildout, the ARSP Area will provide for 2,827 dwelling units, it adds approximately 51 acres of commercial retail and office land uses, and provides approximately 22-acres of parks and 146-acres of open space. The ARSP Area Land Use Plan is shown in Figure 4.
BASELINE WATER USE ESTIMATION
The calculation of the baseline water use estimation was established based on the land use designations developed as part of the ARSP Area Land Use Plan shown on Figure 4.
The baseline wa
factors, as developed for the City by MWH in 2006. The City of Roseville employs standard demand factors for residential land uses of varying densities, as well as standard demand factors for commercial/other land uses. The residential demands are presented as gallons per day (GPD) per dwelling unit (DU), and the commercial/other demands are presented as factors are listed in Table 1.

The water use estimation, as established by the City for purposes of water conservation does not distinguish between potable water and recycled water. Table 3 includes a summary of the estimated baseline water demands. Consistent with previous similar analyses completed by the City, a factor for water system losses has not been included in the water conservation calculations. It has, however, been included for informational purposes in both Tables 2 and 3.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WATER USE DISTRIBUTION
Single family residential water use for land use designations for Low-, Medium- and HighDensity (LDR, MDR and HDR) parcels can be further divided by the use within the home and the landscape irrigation demands outside of the home.
Table 4 represents the typical single family residential water usage that would be attributable to residential units within the land use designation of LDR and MDR. The percentage of total use will have a different distribution for HDR primarily attributable to the reduction in irrigated landscaped area.

Based on historic data the typical split between backyard and front yard irrigation of typical LDR and MDR parcels is approximately sixty-forty, with 60% of the landscape irrigation demand attributable to the backyard and 40% of the landscape irrigation attributable to the front yard. This is the result of typically smaller front yards than backyards along with less 1 Percentage of total water use was derived from information obtained from the City of Roseville Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the subject of water conservation.
landscape area in the front yard due to driveways and walks. Utilizing this ratio of front yard to backyard irrigation use, results in a further breakdown of the 51% total water use to
20.4% for the front yards and 30.6% for the backyards. The separation of front yard and backyard irrigation demands for LDR and MDR parcels allows analysis and application of different conservation measures between the two distinct areas.
The HDR units typically do not have front yard and backyard irrigation demand; however, there are common area irrigation demands that are attributable to HDR units. Average planning numbers for irrigation demands for HDR units is 20% of the estimated overall water usage. This value is expressed as 20% of the annual irrigation demand and not based on designation of demands split between front and back yard area designations. Table 5 presents a summary of demands based on the assumptions listed above.

1 Demand for HDR parcels was calculated differently from LDR and MDR parcels, as described above. Demand for HDR parcels was not separated into front yard and backyard demand since traditional front and back yards are not present on HDR parcels.
WATER USE REDUCTION STRATEGIES
A series of implementable water use reduction strategies have been identified for the ARSP Area. These strategies are discussed in more detail in the following subsections of this document, including the estimated percentage of water use reduction.
The water use reduction strategies identified for the ARSP Area include:
Reduction of Residential Turf Areas
Reduction of Park and Recreation and Common Area Turf (Non-Residential) Irrigation Management
Water Conservation Methods
REDUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL TURF AREAS
As represented in the previous sections and tables, turf areas account for a significant portion of the water demand of the residential development. In turn, this correlates to one of the greatest opportunities to reduce the projected water demands. The ARSP project will adopt a strategy to encourage the new residential developments to reduce the magnitude of front yard turf areas and plant these areas with vegetation that uses far less water.
The City of Roseville estimates that for a same sized area of turf, in comparison to utilization of low-water consumption vegetation, could result in a savings of up to 70% in the amount of water required. Therefore, 30% of the amount of water would be required for the low Low water consumption vegetation, benefits not only from the reduced requirement for uptake by the plants, it also benefits from more efficient landscape irrigation systems. Low water consumption vegetation is typically irrigated by drip systems, as opposed to overhead spray systems for lawn and turf areas.
Typical front yard landscaping generally ranges between 75% and 85% irrigated area. For purposes of this analysis, the low-point of 75% irrigated area has been selected with 70% being lawn area and the remaining irrigated area being lower water using plants and planters.
It is reasonable to reduce irrigated lawn areas from 70% of the typical front yard for LDR and MDR, as well as reduce the common area lawns on HDR, to 42%. This results in an increase of low water consumption vegetation from 5% to 33%. An example of the potential reductions in turf area is shown in Figure 5. The comparisons of water demands for irrigation are shown in Table 6.

Table 7 is a comparison of the water use efficiencies that result from reduction in front yard turf areas. Since assumptions are based on similar reductions in turf areas for LDR, MDR and HDR product types, the water demands have been combined for presentation.

Total 229.24 166.40 62.84 27.4%
As an example of how these values were calculated, the calculation for the annual front yard turf demand and the reduced annual front yard demand is presented below.
For the annual front yard turf demand, as calculated for low and medium density residential land uses, 75% of the front yard is landscaped with 70% turf and 5% low water use plantings. Since low water use plantings use 30% of the water required for turf, this 5% 1 As a percentage of the front yard.

area is equal to 1.5% turf area water demand. This results in the following annual front yard demands:
Turf (LDR & MDR):
Low Water Use (LDR & MDR):
For the reduced annual front yard demand, as calculated for low and medium density residential uses, reducing the base turf area in the front yards from 70% to 42% and replacing that (equivalent to 28%) with low water use plantings resulted in the following annual demands:
Reduced Demand Equation (LDR & MDR):
The same equations were generated for the HDR parcels as follows:

TURF (NON-RESIDENTIAL)
In addition to the turf areas for residential properties there are additional and significant turf areas throughout a typical development. These areas include the parks, irrigated paseos, commercial centers and school play fields. The estimated turf irrigation demand at each of these uses is as follows:
It is estimated that parks utilize approximately 98% of their water demand for irrigation and 80% of their irrigated area for turf. This area is assumed to be reduced to 60% with the conversion of turf area (20%) to low water consumption vegetation or other uses.
For the Roseville area, low water plantings were assumed to use 30% of the water used on turf (a 70% water savings).
Low water use areas will utilize low volume irrigation systems like a drip or spray system (such as Netafim) designed to achieve a uniformity of 90% rather than an overhead spray irrigation system.
Paseos are estimated to utilize 100% of their water demand for landscape irrigation. 80% of the paseo area is irrigated turf area. This area is assumed to be reduced to 60% with the conversion of turf area (20%) to low water consumption vegetation or other uses.
Based on these assumptions the water use efficiencies for the parks and paseos have been calculated and are presented in Table 8.

IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT
Smart and centrally located irrigation controllers restrict irrigation to times and rates necessary to maintain landscaping. They account for changes in the demand for water, which varies with weather patterns, seasonal influences and soil moisture content. In the ARSP, smart irrigation controllers, as defined in WELO, will be required for residential, commercial, and quasi-public parcels subject to turf reduction measures, and centrally controlled irrigation controllers for larger commercial and publicly maintained parcels.
As referenced in previous studies for the City of Roseville, a number of studies have been completed specifically on the conversion to smart irrigation controllers and the resultant water savings. Those studies suggest that water use reductions can be expected between 7% and 41%. This is a wide range of variability. Since ARSP is an entirely new development all significant irrigation applications will employ the use of smart irrigation controllers (per WELO). Therefore, a water use reduction value of 20% has been estimated for purposes of this analysis, consistent with previous analyses completed for similar developments within the City of Roseville. The sample calculation is presented below and the values are summarized in Table 9.

WATER CONSERVATION METHODS
There are many water conservation measures that can be implemented throughout the ARSP project. The reality is that a majority of the typical water conservation measures are already required or anticipated to be included in any new projects. These include low flow toilets, low flow shower heads, faucet aerators, etc.
One additional water conservation measure that will be considered for the ARSP project is the inclusion of recirculating hot water systems. Recirculating hot water systems feature a pump on a residential hot water line system which reduces the time necessary to receive hot water at any hot water faucet throughout the home. They provide hot water at the tap 1 Annual irrigation demand derived from Table 7.

immediately upon engaging the hot water faucet, eliminating the waste of water as you wait for the water to transition from the cold water in the pipes to hot water. This type of system can be included on all residential units to generate additional water conservation. The amount of water savings with these systems varies based on the number of times hot water is utilized throughout the day. A typical conservative estimate indicates a water savings of approximately 1.25 gallons per
recirculation system. We have estimated that on average this would occur six times per day per residential unit, consistent with previous studies for the City of Roseville.

The estimated savings based on the installation of recirculating hot water systems is shown in Table 10.

SUMMARY
A series of water conservation methods have been proposed for implementation as part of the ARSP project. These methods are readily implemented and are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan and the City of Roseville.
Table 11 provides a summary of the water conservation measures and their estimated savings in water use. As shown on Table 11, with implementation of all of the measures an estimated conservation of 14.5% of the projected water use would be realized within the ARSP Area.

The actual water conservation savings will be dependent on a number of factors including the participation and adherence by the actual homeowners. Constructing the residential units with a number of these measures already integrated (such as the hot water recirculation systems) will be beneficial to achieving the objective.
For the single family residential land uses there is anticipated to be ongoing outreach by the City to remind and reinforce the need for water conservation. This can include attachments to the water bill, water audits that can be made available to homeowners, the promotion of conservation website, and the availability of City water conservation staff to respond to specific questions. In addition, outreach can include educating homeowners on how to use and set up smart irrigation controllers along with including the installation and integration into their backyard irrigation system.
Guidance and education for the homeowners with regards to the landscaping of front and backyards will also be part of the overall plan including education in conformance with WELO.

Date: January 27, 2020
Subject: Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan Amendment
Amendment to Water Conservation Plan to Accommodate Revised Land Use Plan
INTRODUCTION
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) Amendment has been prepared at the direction of Brookfield Residential Properties, Inc. (Brookfield) to meet the City of Roseville’s (City) planning requirements to address proposed land use changes resulting from the State and Federal Environmental Permitting Processes. The ARSP Amendment modifies the original approved plan dated June 2016.
The ARSP Area consists of approximately 694.4-acres located in the northwest edge of the City of Roseville. The Specific Plan Area is bounded on the west by the Al Johnson Wildlife Area, to the south by the Creekview Specific Plan Area, to the east by the future proposed Placer Ranch Specific Plan Area and to the north by the existing Toad Hill Ranches #1 area/Sunset Boulevard West.
The ARSP Area provides for a mix of land uses to achieve the desired community form and objectives.
These land use designations include low-, medium- and high-density residential uses; commercial and office uses; which in some cases are sited with one another and/or with residential uses; public and quasipublic uses for the schools and civic activities such as a fire station; parks and open space uses; and an urban reserve.
At buildout, as originally proposed, the ARSP Area will provide for 2,827 dwelling units, adds approximately 51 acres of commercial retail and office land uses, and provide approximately 22-acres of parks and 146-acres of open space.
With the changes in the land use plan, resulting from the environmental permitting processes, the project parameters are identical in terms of the number of units, acres of commercial, and acres of parks.
However, the acres of open space have increased from approximately 146-acres to approximately 155- acres with a corresponding reduction in residential land use acreage.
As part of the original Specific Plan, the “Brookfield Residential, Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan Area, Water Conservation Plan”, dated April 2016, was prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates. While the number of units proposed for the Specific Plan Area has not changed, the density of some of the units has been modified, which affects the calculations presented in the referenced Water Conservation Plan. This Technical Memorandum amends the referenced Water Conservation Plan to accommodate the changes in the land use plan.

LAND USE PLAN UPDATE
As noted in the Introduction, the major change in the Land Use Plan occurs with the expansion of the open space and the coinciding reduction in the developable acres. The change represents approximately 9- acres that will be added to the open space, transitioning from developable land use. Figure TM-1 depicts the existing approved Land Use Plan that was adopted as part of the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan in June 2016 by the City of Roseville. It depicts the area that was modified through the environmental permitting processes. The proposed and modified Land Use Plan is shown on Figure TM-2.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan Amendment – Amendment to the Water Conservation Plan January 27, 2020 - Page 3 of 14
The required modifications in the Land Use Plan occur along the southern edge of development, both to the east and west of Westbrook Boulevard, in locations where the development abuts the open space.
The changes are depicted on Figure TM-2.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan Amendment – Amendment to the Water Conservation Plan January 27, 2020 - Page 4 of 14
While the land plan has a reduced number of developable acres, the total unit count has remained the same, with the displaced units reallocated to an existing developable parcel that can support the units, while conforming to the density ranges for the given product types.
Table TM-1 is a comparison of the unit allocation changes throughout the plan area.

AR-52 CC-VC 13.06 13.06 0 18 68 50
TOTAL <9.03> 0
As noted in Table TM-1, the reallocated units are all located in the Community Commercial/Village Center (AR-52). This places the units very close to their original location. This also modifies the units from LDR to be CC/VC where the use factors for these units are consistent with HDR. This is important as it results in lower water use factors and lower wastewater generation rates.
The location of the affected land use parcels is shown on Figure TM-3 and indicated with a “blue circle”.

April, 2016 Amoruso Ranch Parks Financing Plan
I. Introduction
Purpose of Report
This Parks Financing Plan was prepared for the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (“Project”) by Development Planning and Financing Group, Inc. (“DPFG”) as a strategy to fund and maintain the parks, bike trails, and paseos that are proposed in the Project. This document is an expansion of the Amoruso Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan, and provides additional details regarding the costs and funding of neighborhood parks, citywide parks, bike trails, and paseos. The findings will provide a clear understanding of how the parks plan is feasible, the funding structure, and overall costs associated with the Project.
II. Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan
Parks and Open Space
The City of Roseville’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan requires a ratio of 9 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The 9 acres of parkland includes; 3 acres/1,000 residents for neighborhood parks, 3 acres/1,000 residents for citywide parks, and 3 acres/1,000 residents for open space.
The parks program developed for Amoruso Ranch includes 157 acres of parkland on-site, including open space. The Project meets the neighborhood park and open space dedication requirement with at least 22.14 acres of each, but does not provide a citywide park. The project will pay a Citywide Park Fee which includes funding for park improvements and land (through an in-lieu calculation). Through the Citywide Park Fee, Amoruso Ranch will contribute its fair share to the creation of other planned facilities in the City. Table 1 shows the required park acreage under the City’s current Master Plan and project population assumptions. The developer is responsible for the budgeted park costs and the developer or City will be responsible for the construction of all the parks.
Seven neighborhood parks have been distributed throughout the Project. Map 1 shows the location of all the neighborhood parks in the Amoruso Ranch project.
Bike Trails and Paseos
The bike trails and paseos planned within the Project are mainly located along roadways. Bike trails take the form of Class 1, Class 1A, Class 2, and Class 3. Only the Class 1 bike trails are located away from a roadway, and this bike trail class occurs on the south western portion of the Project and along Westbrook Boulevard through the southern open space. The paseos are expanded areas in addition to the normal landscaping along roadways. Map 1 illustrates the paseos, while Map 2 shows the bike trails.

III. Neighborhood Park Improvements
Facility Costs
Table 2 shows the total estimated neighborhood park facility costs. The parks program costs are estimated at roughly $7.1 million. The cost of the parks and recreation facilities include, but are not limited to, the following types of facilities:
Landscaping
Restrooms
Parking
Detailed park improvements and costs are provided by The Collaborative West, and are attached as Appendix A.
Phasing
The development of Phase 1 would have park improvements that correspond to the amount of initial residential development. These improvements include five neighborhood parks at a size of 1.72 acres, 1.87 acres, 2.12 acres, 2.0 acres, and 3.04 acres, for a total of 10.75 acres. The estimated facilities cost for the park improvements for Phase 1 is approximately $3.9 million.
Funding Strategy – Existing Fee Programs
The neighborhood park impact fee funds the neighborhood park improvements in Amoruso Ranch. Table 3 creates an updated fee for the Project by allocating the total neighborhood park improvement costs on a per residential unit basis. The costs were spread to the different residential land uses based on the persons per household that vary by unit size, using the same methodology as previous specific plans. This was done to create a tiered rate so that an HDR unit is not paying the same amount as an LDR unit.
Table 4 shows the neighborhood park impact fee revenues for Phase 1 and Build out.
IV. Citywide Park Improvements
The Citywide Park Improvement Fee funds the Project’s fair share of the construction costs of a citywide park and the Citywide Park Land In-Lieu Fee will provide funding for the purchase of land that was not provided on site for a citywide park.
Facility Costs
Table 5 shows the total facility improvement costs and estimated in-lieu land costs. The Project’s share of the citywide facilities costs are calculated by using the current Citywide Park Fee. The base fee for citywide park development is $2,111. A credit of $657 has been applied making the citywide park fee for ARSP $1,454 per unit.
May, 2016 Amoruso Ranch Parks Financing Plan
Land Component
The Citywide Park land in-lieu was calculated using the acreage requirement determined in Table 1, multiplied by the land appraisal value of $135,000 per acre. This is the same value used in previous specific plans. A total in-lieu estimate of $2,988,900 was calculated for the ARSP. The land in-lieu fee per unit for citywide is $1,058 per unit.
Summary
The total citywide park improvement fee for facility costs and land in-lieu is $2,512 per unit.
The Citywide Park funds will be used to purchase land and/or build citywide park facilities in other locations throughout the City. Amoruso Ranch is currently not planned for citywide facilities to be built within the plan area.
Funding Strategy - Existing Fee Programs
The Citywide Park fee will fund the citywide park facilities throughout the City, and the in-lieu component will fund future land acquisitions or additional construction. Table 6 creates the Citywide Park fee for the Amoruso Ranch project by allocating the total costs (construction and in-lieu) on a per residential unit. The costs were spread to the different residential land uses based on the persons per household that vary by unit size, using the same methodology as previous specific plans. This was done to create a tiered rate so that an HDR unit is not paying the same amount as an LDR unit.
Table 7 shows the citywide park fee revenues for Phase 1 and Build out.
V. Bike Trail Improvements
In the Amoruso Ranch project the Class 1 bike trail system is integrated with open space along the south west corner of the development and along Westbrook Boulevard in the open space on the south end of the development. Map 2 illustrates the proposed bike trails in the project. The Class 1 bike trail system along with the other bike trails incorporated with the roadways (Class 1A, 2, and 3) are all included in the roadway backbone infrastructure costs outlined in the Amoruso Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan. The developer will build these improvements as required, and as development progresses.
Phasing
The development of the Class 1 bike trail will occur entirely with the Phase 1 development.
Funding Strategy – Developer Built
The bike trail facilities will be built by the developer, without the formation of a fee program.
These improvements will be an eligible facility to be funded and/or reimbursed by the project CFD when formed.
May, 2016 Amoruso Ranch Parks Financing Plan
VI. Paseo Improvements
The paseos in Amoruso Ranch run along some segments of collector roadways. Paseos are expanded areas, in addition to landscape corridors with grass, trees, landscaping, and contain no facilities. Map 1 illustrates the proposed layout of the paseos in the project. All of the paseo costs are included in the roadway backbone infrastructure costs outlined in the Amoruso Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan. The developer will build these improvements as required, and as development progresses.
Phasing
The development of Phase 1 includes paseo improvements within the residential area on Road “E”, “F”, and Road “A”, while the remaining improvements will be built in Phase 2 and 3 along Roads “F”, “G”, “E”, and “D”.
Funding Strategy – Developer Built
The paseo facilities will be built by the developer, without the formation of a fee program.
These improvements will be an eligible facility to be funded and/or reimbursed by the project CFD when formed.
VII. Community Facilities District for Maintenance
The Developer will form a CFD for maintenance to finance the cost of operating and maintaining streets, landscaping, open space, parks, trails, paseos and storm water in the Project. A Rate and Method of Apportionment will be required in establishing a method of tax, a maximum special tax amount, and any escalation factors that will be implemented to allow the annual special tax to keep pace with inflation. Table 8 details the quantities and cost assumptions to be used in the formation of the CFD with the exception of open space related items, while Table 9 allocates the costs across the various product types to estimate the special tax amount. An updated Property Analysis Record (“PAR”) will be required prior to CFD formation and based on 404 permit conditions, an inventory of all environmentally sensitive/protected areas within the open space, approved improvements, any mitigation requirements, final drainage channel design, vehicular access for maintenance, ultimate width of transition area, all ARSP specific permits, and other requirements/improvements outlined in the Overarching Open Space Management Plan and consistent with state/federal permits.
The maintenance CFD does not include the 645.5 acres of off-site open space. These parcels will be either conveyed to the City, pending agreed upon parameters for acceptance or deeded to a third party entity. If the City accepts these parcels, landowner shall annex these sites into the CFD for maintenance prior to formation. A PAR analysis for the cost of service shall be prepared prior to annexation.

Footnotes:
1 Cost estimates derived from indepth analysis of City costs done for SVSP. Those costs have then been applied to all specific plans since. 2 1/3 of streetsweeping miles.
4 Includes developed and undeveloped.
3 The Cost per Unit for Open Space placeholder of $575 per year was derived by simply averaging the Citys proposed annual open space cost per acre of $1,000 and the Developer proposed annual open space cost per acre of $150. The actual annual open space cost per acre will be determined at the time of the formation of the maintenance CFD for this project as outlined in the Development Agreement. The ultimate cost per acre could be above or below the aforementioned range, depending upon the 404 permit conditions, an inventory of all environmentally sensitive/protected areas within the open space, approved improvements, any mitigation requirements, vehicular access for maintenance, final drainage channel design, ultimate width of transition area, all ARSP specific permits, other improvements outlined in the Overarching Open Space Management Plan, state and federal permits, and established city maintenance standards.

The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) establishes a comprehensive land use and regulatory framework to guide the development of approximately 694.4-acres located in the northwest edge of the City of Roseville. Prior to the Specific Plan’s adoption, the Plan Area was recognized as a logical growth extension for the City. The Specific Plan Area is bounded on the southwest by the Al Johnson Wildlife Area (also known as Reason Farms), to the south by the Creekview Specific Plan Area, to the north, northwest and east by unincorporated Placer County including the existing Toad Hill Ranches #1 rural residential area and the future Placer Ranch area.
1.2 Specific Plan Objectives
This Specific Plan provides land use standards, development regulations, design guidelines, infrastructure improvements and an implementation plan for the ARSP community.
Complete Comprehensive Planning for the ARSP Area
The ARSP has been designed to respond to the City of Roseville’s need to provide housing and services in an orderly growth pattern, that accommodates the City’s regional share of population growth, that positively responds to adjacent land uses in a compatible manner, and that provides a benefit to the City.
Mix of Land Uses
ARSP will create a balanced community with 2,827 residential units, commercial and office uses, parks and open space, an elementary school and supporting public and quasi-public uses.
Existing Policies
The ARSP will satisfy all City policies, regulations and expectations as defined in the City of Roseville General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Community Design Guidelines, Sign Ordinance and any other applicable City plans, documents and programs adopted by the City.

Blueprint Consistency
The ARSP provides for development that meets the City’s nine identified Blueprint Implementation Strategies adopted by the Council in June of 2005. The ARSP achieves the design characteristics that are discussed within the City’s General Plan by incorporating elements such as extensive park connections, a mix of land uses, preservation of open space, and connectivity between neighborhoods, commercial uses, the school, recreational uses, and parks.
Commercial/Employment Center
The ARSP provides for retail and office opportunities in multiple locations in the Plan Area. There are ample opportunities within the Village District located near the center of the Plan Area adjacent to Westbrook Boulevard as well as the Commercial area located in the northeast portion that would have visibility from Placer Parkway.
Housing Opportunities
The ARSP provides for 2,827 units in a variety of residential housing types in a range of densities that will attract a variety of buyers and market segments. Residential choices include a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-family homes. Affordable housing opportunities will be provided and will be consistent with the City’s General Plan requirements.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The ARSP aids the City in fulfilling its recognized obligation to accommodate a percentage of future population growth in the region (as embodied in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation {RHNA} identified by the Sacramento Council of Governments {SACOG} and the California Department of Housing and Community Development {HCD}). By providing for a variety of residential units, the ARSP helps to satisfy a portion of the City’s regional housing needs allocation.
Community Form
The shape and physical form of the ARSP creates a sense of community that will clearly define the northwestern edge of the City of Roseville. The ARSP provides walkable, appropriately sized and placed neighborhoods, a network of trails and parks that link together, an elementary school, and a Village District in the heart of the community. The plan seeks to establish a community form that will:
Create a land use transition and connection from existing City of Roseville northerly, and westerly to the Al Johnson Wildlife Area and unincorporated Placer County; Organize neighborhoods to be identifiable and walkable, and to incorporate gathering places such as commercial areas, parks and schools.
Mixed-Use Nodes
Provide neighborhoods that are within a short walking distance to the Village District, which is planned as a vibrant, mixed-use area. The Village District will provide for a variety of services such as restaurants, shops, neighborhood serving uses, and offices.
Regional and Area Roadways
Provide a safe and efficient circulation system that interconnects uses and promotes pedestrian circulation and alternate transportation options. The ARSP will facilitate the expansion of Westbrook Boulevard to the northern edge of the Plan Area, provide for connections to future development to the east, and provide right-of-way dedications for the future Placer Parkway. Within the Specific Plan, neighborhood streets are provided in a safe, efficient and orderly manner. The Village District, higherdensity housing, and the commercial area are all located adjacent to Westbrook Boulevard to take advantage of the frontage this roadway will provide for future transit opportunities.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Connections
An extensive network of trails and Class I and II bikeway facilities will provide connections throughout the Plan Area. Not only does this network connect the residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, but it also links to parks, paseos, and a large open space area that connects to regional open space located in both the Creekview and West Roseville Specific Plan Areas.
INTRODUCTION

March 2020 January 2022
Public Transportation Options
Through implementation of City arterial and collector street improvement standards, provide the opportunity to install fixed-route bus stops and transit facilities in support of the City’s overall transit planning efforts.
Park Facilities
The ARSP provides for a network of sidewalks, paseos and trails that link together all aspects of the community including a large neighborhood park close to Westbrook Boulevard, as well as other smaller neighborhood parks, an elementary school, and the Village District.
Habitat Conservation & Creation
The plan seeks to balance development with resource protection, including preservation of the creek corridors, sensitive habitat and wetland resources in an inter-connected, permanent open space. As part of the Army Corps Section 404 permit process, this will include development of an on- and off-site mitigation plan to preserve and create multi-functional habitat with water quality benefits within the open space areas.
Resource Management
Append the ARSP to the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan (OSPOMP) to ensure open space preserve areas are managed consistent with the City’s strategy.
Contribute to Regional Preserve Planning
Create open space preserves that provide regional benefit for habitat, resources, and open space amenities and complements the proposed Placer County Conservation Plan.
Fiscal Contribution
Include a mix of land uses and facilities which are fiscally feasible and implement funding mechanisms to maintain a neutral / positive fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.
Program-Level Parcel Objectives
The Wagner Parcel is designated as Urban Reserve and has one residential unit allocated to it. No additional or specific project objectives for this parcel have been identified as there are no specific development plans for this parcel at this time.
Long Term Growth
Plan for long term growth in order to be positioned to react to market demand. The ARSP is intended to guide development over a 20-year to 30-year horizon.
1.3 The Specific Plan Tool
A specific plan is a planning and regulatory tool intended to implement a city or county General Plan through the development of policies, programs and regulations used to guide the overall development of a site. The ARSP is the primary land use, policy and regulatory document used to guide the overall development of the site. The ARSP establishes a development framework for land use, circulation, utilities and services, resource protection and implementation. The intent is to promote the systematic and orderly development of the site, consistent with the overarching vision for the community. All subsequent development projects and related activities are required to be consistent with the ARSP.
The authority to prepare and adopt specific plans and the requirements for content are set forth in Sections 65450 through 65457 of the California Government Code (Planning and Zoning Law). As a mechanism for the implementation of the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan, State law stipulates specific plans can only be adopted or amended if they are consistent with the jurisdiction’s adopted General Plan. This specific plan is consistent with the policies of the City of Roseville 2035 General Plan, as well as other applicable State and local regulations.
INTRODUCTION

The Specific Plan contains text and diagrams that call out the following in detail:
1. The distribution, location and extent of land uses within the area are covered by the plan.
2. The proposed distribution, location, extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sanitary sewer, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, dry utilities, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
3. Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, including development standards, design guidelines, a phasing program, and standards for the conservation and utilization of open space, where applicable.
4. A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out items 1, 2, and 3.
The purpose of the ARSP is to provide a unique and appealing community that integrates with the existing City and provides a variety of amenities, through the implementation of a guiding plan and construction of infrastructure improvements necessary for the development.
1.4 Related Documents
Several documents work in tandem with this Specific Plan to provide policy guidance for implementation of the project. Existing documents including the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, Community Design Guidelines, Sign Ordinance, Design and Construction Standards, Storm Water Design Manual, and various City master plans (i.e., parks, utilities, bikeways, open space preserve overarching management plan, etc.), have been previously adopted by the City and are actively used to plan for, and implement, development projects. In addition, concurrent with the adoption of the ARSP; General Plan amendments, development agreements, and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), including a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP), were approved, each providing guidance for the ultimate buildout of the Plan Area.
The application of these standards and requirements and the execution of the specific plan are further discussed in Chapter 10, Implementation.

To the southwest is the Al Johnson Wildlife Area project owned and planned by the City of Roseville. The City will develop the Al Johnson Wildlife Area as a major stormwater retention facility and future open space recreation facility.
Figure 2.2 shows the location of several other master-planned development projects in proximity to the ARSP. Each development proposal incorporates a mix of land uses, which is primarily residential, but also has non-residential components that include commercial, office, park, school, open space, university, and public/quasi-public uses. These include:
Creekview Specific Plan (CSP), a 500-acre project located south of the ARSP, north of Blue Oaks Boulevard. The project includes 2,011 residential units. Major access to ARSP is provided through this plan via connections from Blue Oaks Boulevard and the extension of Westbrook Boulevard to the Plan Area. The CSP was approved by the City of Roseville in 2012. West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP), a 3,162-acre project directly to the southeast of ARSP, approved by the City on February 4, 2004. This Plan Area is approved for 10,478 residential units. Sierra Vista Specific Plan (SVSP), a 2,064-acre project located south of the ARSP, west of Fiddyment Road and north of Baseline. The project includes 8,679 residential units and over 230 acres of commercial and office uses. This plan was approved by the City of Roseville in May 2010 and amended in June 2012 to include the Westbrook property.
Placer Ranch, a 2,213 acre area to the east of the ARSP area. While no specific plan is pending at this time, given its location adjacent to local services and the County’s Sunset Industrial Area, it is likely that development could occur in the future. It could include a new California State University campus that would accommodate up to 30,000 students and a mix of 6,000 residential units and commercial uses.
Sunset Industrial Area Plan (SIA) is located east of Fiddyment Road and encompasses a portion of the Placer Ranch area. It is an 8,900-acre industrial, office park and commercial development area adopted by Placer County Board of Supervisors in June 1997, and currently undergoing a major master plan update.
Placer Vineyards Specific Plan (PVSP), a 5,230-acre project located immediately south of the SVSP and Baseline Road. This project was approved by the Placer County Board of Supervisors in July 2007 and includes over 14,000 residential units and a mix of commercial uses. Regional University Specific Plan (RUSP), a 1,157-acre project located west of the West Roseville Specific Plan along the planned extension of Pleasant Grove Boulevard. This project was approved by the Placer County Board of Supervisors in December 2008.
B. Adjacent Uses
To the north is agricultural land and the existing Toad Hill Ranches #1, a rural subdivision of two to five acre parcels. To the northeast, approximately one mile away is the Western Regional Sanitary Landfill operation. The City of Lincoln Sphere of Influence extends south to approximately one mile north of the Plan Area.
To the west is the Al Johnson Wildlife Area owned and planned by the City of Roseville.

C. Site Conditions
In its pre-development condition, the Plan Area was used as a cattle ranch as well as rice farming. The primary use was open grazing land, but included a small ranch house and out buildings. Agricultural wells and a septic system served the site.
The land has gently rolling terrain that generally slopes to the west and south. Minor drainages flow in a radial pattern from a slight rise in the northeast quadrant of the property. The elevation slopes gently from the northeast to the southwest.
The site vegetation is primarily annual grasslands. There are several oak trees located along University Creek and a number of non-native trees located around the former ranch house. Wetland features and their associated flora and fauna are located in small areas typically along the drainage corridors and in flats along the southern boundary. Figure 2.3 highlights the Amoruso Ranch project site conditions.

2.3 Factors that Influence the Specific Plan
The proposed land use and circulation pattern in the ARSP is influenced by several factors, including the physical setting, conditions around the Plan Area, and public policies. This section identified the most important conditions and issues that influence the form of the proposed plan.
A. Placer Parkway
The proposed Placer Parkway will be a prominent road feature that sweeps through the Plan Area.
Interchanges at Fiddyment Road to the east and Santucci Boulevard to the southwest would provide access to the ARSP Area. The partially revised Placer Parkway Tier 1 EIS/EIR analyzed an additional interchange within the northeast area of Amoruso Ranch, based on a potential future extension of Dowd Road southerly from the City of Lincoln. At the time of specific plan approval, this interchange was not proposed as part of the project; however, it is not precluded by the project. A grade separated intersection at Westbrook Boulevard may elevate Placer Parkway through portions of the site. The intersection of Road “G”, a residential road within the Plan Area, will also be grade separated with Road “G” being depressed under Figure 2.3: Site Conditions Map

the future Placer Parkway. A potential extension of Dowd Road could connect to the Westbrook Boulevard alignment within Amoruso Ranch project in the future.
B. Blue Oaks Boulevard and Westbrook Boulevard Corridors In planning for anticipated growth in western Placer County through the year 2035, Blue Oaks Boulevard and Westbrook Boulevard are components of the area circulation network. Blue Oaks Boulevard is an east/west travel corridor extending from Highway 65, west through Roseville, and will ultimately link to the future Placer Parkway southwest of the ARSP and the CSP areas. Blue Oaks Boulevard will provide access to the Plan Area via a connection to Westbrook Boulevard. Westbrook Boulevard is a north/south travel corridor extending from Baseline Road north through the Sierra Vista, West Roseville, Creekview and Amoruso Ranch Specific Plans. The ARSP provides a segment of Westbrook and provides land uses and densities compatible with a roadway of this scale. The ARSP orients higher density and nonresidential uses along the roadway, with an emphasis on creating an interface with the proposed Village District.
C. Public Transportation Opportunities
The Plan Area’s land use is influenced by the potential for public transportation routes including Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along the major arterial streets. Design standards in the Plan would ensure that future transit stops could be accommodated in these areas.
D. Open Space and Resources Preservation
The Amoruso Ranch project would support open space and resource preservation by preserving approximately 144 acres of permanent open space within the ARSP Area. ARSP wetland preserve open space areas would append to the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan to ensure these future Preserve areas are managed consistent with the City’s strategy. The open space on the southern end of the Plan Area is adjacent to other regionally significant open space amenities. The ARSP Area provides open space linkages between the WRSP to the southeast, CSP to the south, and the Al Johnson Wildlife Area to the southwest. Together with the ARSP, the interconnected open space would total approximately 2,159 acres.
The Al Johnson Wildlife Area is an approximately 1,700 acre property. It is currently undeveloped and planned for a regional flood control project, as well as compatible recreation and environmental restoration features.
The ARSP will provide an open space corridor that includes a pedestrian and bike path linkage between major open space areas and the City’s regional trail system. These linkages are illustrated in Chapter 7, Circulation. The corridor could provide stormwater detention in the natural drainage corridor as well as a permanent wetland resources preservation area.
E. City/County Memorandum of Understanding
In 1997, the County of Placer and City of Roseville entered into an agreement regarding the future development of a 5,540-acre ‘transition area’ west of Fiddyment Road and north of Baseline Road, adjacent to Roseville’s western city limits in Placer County. Forty acres of the ARSP is located within the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Transition Area. This MOU is intended to promote interagency communication and to foster cooperative land use planning within the transition area. The MOU specifies the mutually-agreed upon requirements for processing development applications within the transition area, and allows development applications to be processed either by the County or the City. Its terms include provisions for City/County consultation and review, application submittal, mitigation of project impacts, and minimum development standards. The ARSP was not anticipated as part of the MOU, except for the southerly 40 acre portion of the site. However, the City recognizing the benefit of the MOU, has coordinated this project with Placer County consistent with MOU provisions.

PLAN SETTING & INFLUENCES
2 - 9 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
F. General Plan Growth Management Policies Guiding Principles The City’s General Plan Growth Management Element includes several “Guiding Principles” to direct the City’s review of new development proposals located outside the City’s corporate boundaries. The intent of these principles is to ensure new development meets or exceeds the City’s existing policies, standards, and expectations, and does not unduly impact services to existing City residents. While some of the Guiding Principles address the City’s governmental services and long-term fiscal sustainability, other principles address matters that guide the physical form of the land use plan. These include provisions to:
Maintain the integrity of existing neighborhoods and create a sense of place in new neighborhoods. Aid in regional traffic solutions and in right of way preservation. Incorporate mechanisms to ensure new schools are available to serve the residents and shall not impact existing schools.
Include a significant interconnected public open space component/conservation plan in coordination with the City of Roseville/ U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Memorandum of Understanding.
G. Western Edge
The City’s General Plan Growth Management Section of the Land Use Element includes several policies that are intended to provide for a “distinctive edge” and “physical and visual buffer between the City and County to assure that the identity and uniqueness of the City and County will be maintained.” Proponents shall provide a transitional area between City and County lands through a system of interconnecting Open Space land areas.
The ARSP supports the City’s polices related to the Guiding principles for new development and the creation of a distinctive western edge, which are represented in the final design and form of the new community. The ARSP is bounded on the west by a portion of the Al Johnson Wildlife Area property where the City has approved a planned regional storm water retention project. On the northwest edge of the Plan Area adjacent to the Gleason Property, low density residential homes will be setback a minimum of 100- feet from the ARSP property line, separated by the proposed drainage channel, a maintenance path, and landscape setback or a single loaded street. This separation will provide both a physical and aesthetic separation from ongoing agricultural activities such as cattle raising etc.
H. Growth Management Visioning Committee
The Growth Management Visioning Committee (GMVC) was created in August 2004 to develop a vision to guide the City’s growth through the year 2025. Through extensive public involvement and facilitated meetings, the GMVC developed recommendations to the City Council. A key recommendation was acknowledgement of the Plan Area as the next logical area for growth in the City of Roseville.
I. Resource Agency Early Consultation
In August 2000, the City and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) entered into a MOU to prepare a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) or equivalent to minimize incidental take of vernal pool species from future City growth. Consistent with this agreement, the City of Roseville, the ARSP landowner, the USFWS, US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board conducted an extensive early consultation process for this project starting in 2010 when the development application was submitted to the City. The group met and conducted field visits to review onsite resources and offsite mitigation properties with the following objective: to reach basic agreement on a land use plan and mitigation strategy which could be permitted under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act utilizing a Section 7 Consultation process for Endangered Species Act compliance. Key feedback received through this process influenced the land use plan and resulted in additional avoidance area. Also key, was determining the corridor for Placer Parkway that appears to have the least impacts to wetlands.
COMMUNITY FORM & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3 - 1 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
CHAPTER 3 –
COMMUNITY FORM &
PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3.1 Community Vision
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) will guide the development of the Plan Area towards a livable community where housing, recreation, education, retail and employment opportunities are integrated into an urban village. This village is envisioned as a contemporary version of a small walkable town, where the automobile can be replaced by walking and biking to recreation opportunities and to accomplish everyday errands.
Key components of this urban vision include pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets, open space connections and vistas to important community focal points, and an integration of land uses that give the feeling of “development over time.” These visual qualities create a community that has rich variety in the architectural character in both the non-residential and residential architecture. Public spaces such as plazas, urban parks, linear parks and pedestrian linkages are the primary form building features of the ARSP. With the plan as a backdrop, distinctive architecture and landscape elements establish a unique identity.
The ARSP guides the development of a livable community that integrates housing, education, recreation, open space, retail and employment uses and civic facilities into a unique and memorable community. The site forms the “confluence” in the regional road system and forms the northwest edge of the City making it a key parcel in the strategic planning of this part of the City.
COMMUNITY FORM & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3 - 2 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
3.2 Community Design Principles
The design vision for the ARSP Area has its foundation in the following Community Design Principles:
A. Community Designed Around Connectivity and Walking Paths:
The development areas within the Land Use Plan are linked together by a network of parks, paseos, sidewalks, and block level paseos.
B. Visually Open:
The use of walls is minimized to the extent feasible.
C. Parks Integrated Into the Neighborhood Fabric:
All neighborhoods are linked to a variety of neighborhood parks connected by a network of paseos or other connections.
D. Range of Housing Opportunities:
Building upon Roseville’s established growth patterns, the ARSP supports the City’s implementation of smart growth principles rooted in SACOG’s regional Blueprint. In addition to advancing the City’s efforts to meet its fair share obligation of the region’s housing needs (RHNA), the ARSP demonstrates an emerging approach to development which results in a more efficient use of land, which will provide a range of housing types.
E. Sustainability:
The ARSP includes elements that embrace sustainable techniques such as narrow, tree-lined streets to reduce heat island effect. The land use plan includes a diversity of housing types, compact design, a local serving community commercial Village District, vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, resource preservation and proximate access to parks and open space.
F. Vibrant Village District:
The ARSP Area includes a walkable Village District that serves as a major focal point of the Plan Area with a wide range of neighborhood serving uses and recreational opportunities.
3.3 Community Form
The physical form and development pattern of the ARSP is shaped by site opportunities and constraints and policy factors described in Chapter 2, Plan Setting & Influences. Factors influencing the community’s form include existing site features and natural resources, adjacent development patterns and roadways, the future Placer Parkway alignment, the extension of Westbrook Boulevard, the City’s Guiding Principles for new development, Blueprint principles and the Growth Management Visioning Committee’s vision.
3.4 Community Form Elements
The overall ARSP land use plan is shaped by three overarching form elements. The elements influencing the community form in each area of the plan are described below. Interconnected yet distinct districts
o Village District
o Northeast District
o Central District
o Northwest District
o Southeast District
Parks and Open Space
Circulation System
COMMUNITY FORM & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3 - 3 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
A wide variety of residential opportunities will be provided within the various districts. This variety may include single family attached and detached homes, live/work row town homes, town homes, condominiums and apartments. Design of residential neighborhoods emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle connectivity while facilitating dispersed automobile traffic. The modified grid street network creates shorter, more traditional feeling block lengths. The result of this block scaling is that the various home types are woven together within the neighborhood fabric, rather than separated housing tracts of the same lot configuration. This was the traditional pattern of growth for neighborhoods prior to large scale tract housing development.
The following figures graphically illustrate those principles. Figure 3.1 is the Overall Districts diagram that highlights the major planning ideas and areas while the diagrams following those highlight individual districts in detail. Figure 3.2 illustrates a potential build out scenario.

A. Village District
The Village District is an important component of the Plan Area and provides a dynamic center for the community. The intersection of Westbrook Boulevard and Main Street creates a high level of activity that establishes the core of the District. The Village District development pattern is not just a linear main street surrounded by parking lots. The plan creates a subtle block grid that forms more connection with the surrounding residential neighborhoods and better hides the parking from view. The Village District will provide retail and office space, with buildings organized along a Main Street, creating a classic small town main street character. Buildings with storefronts and tall floor plates, that may include office or residential units above, provide a sense of enclosure to the street.
The Main Street continues and “T’s” at an Urban Park. Storefronts line the street in buildings that are broken into sections that establish a walkable rhythm, rather than block long single structures with consistent storefronts and setbacks. This rhythm is crucial to establish the pedestrian scale inherent to a classic main street. The variety in building character and setbacks makes the Village District visually interesting and creates an environment focused on the pedestrian.
Figure 3.3: Conceptual Plan Detail – Village District
COMMUNITY FORM & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3 - 6 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
The variety of building heights and facades of the buildings framing the Main Street adds to the character and architectural interest of the place, and lends an appearance of development over time. While there will be a consistent level of quality and some signature detailing, it is important that the buildings do not look too themed. They should have variety in their design to reinforce the downtown character. Their design is guided by the architectural guidelines in Section B.6 of Appendix B.
Sign guidelines, included in the ARSP in Appendix B are intended to guide merchants towards providing unique and individual signage that is critical in establishing the desired downtown character.
Buildings fronting on the Main Street may have residential or office uses above ground floor retail to energize the area. It is important to bring residential opportunities into this area to create a vibrant district, and to support the merchants. Decks and balconies are encouraged as they engage residents with the outdoor activities along the street and plaza.
Forming a transition from the Main Street retail and mixed-use to the surrounding neighborhoods, the edges of the Village District are anticipated to include medium or high density residential. This residential may be high density single family dwellings (SFD), row townhomes, or a mix of townhomes and flats.
Vehicular access and guest parking for these homes provide a buffer to the residential parking areas.

Main Street Promenade
At the block where Main Street meets the Urban Park, a wide median splits the street, creating the Main Street Promenade. Here auto traffic is subordinate to the pedestrian experience. This is a private street and this block may be closed to vehicular traffic for community events such as street fairs. There is no raised curb along the median to allow the spaces to flow together with special paving that links both sides of the street.
The buildings facing the Main Street Promenade should have taller first floor plates (10’-14’) than standard residential heights, with residential units above, or may be row town homes with raised stoop or entries, such as a classic “brownstone”. It is important that the homes have balconies large enough to be furnished and usable (minimum depth of 4 feet). Resident activity will add to the character of the street scene.
At the end of the median is a plaza. While privately owned and maintained, the space serves as an extension of the park and is designed more like a plaza than a median. It functions as an outdoor living room, with seating and other amenities such as a fire pit and it may contain a small specialty building that houses a coffee house, wine bar, flower shop or similar type use. This building is envisioned to be of a unique design and an urban jewel for the community.
The plaza is intended to create an intimate setting for uses such as street performers, or simply a wonderful place to “hang out” and people watch with a great cup of coffee. Buildings on either side may include restaurants that would provide outdoor dining creating a lively atmosphere.

An urban park
Historically, many towns include a park near their downtowns. In the Amoruso Ranch community, an urban park forms a strong focal point at the termination of Main Street. At approximately 3 acres, the park is intended to be used for community wide gatherings and events. Parking for the park is provided onstreet and it also shares the ample Village District off-street parking. The park is intentionally not over programmed. Homes front directly on this park allowing the residents to engage with the park events. To enhance the pedestrian experience, no residential driveways are accessed from the roads surrounding the park. Their design is guided by the standards in Section A.2 in Appendix A and guidelines in Section B.12 in Appendix B.

Along its southeast side, the park may be fronted by live/work or row town homes, creating a transition to the commercial uses in the Village District. Street trees are within tree grates and the paving pattern is more indicative of a linear plaza than of standard sidewalk. The architecture has an urban flair with ground floor windows that are indicative of commercial storefronts that allow the Main Street character to expand. This strong urban streetscape may be further re-enforced by the inclusion of artwork that creates additional interest along the walk.
The Village District also includes a site appropriate for a market or grocer. This location allows for an appropriately scaled and visible parking area as well as several small pads for stand-alone buildings.
These buildings are appropriate for larger chain restaurants or banks that are not well suited to a main street. The combination of a “Main Street” retail and traditional options provides for opportunities for a wide variety of retail and commercial options. In-line service-oriented shops link the market back to the Main Street completing the pedestrian grid.

B. Northeast District- Retail and Business Park
A 23-acre parcel in the northeast quadrant of the site, bounded by Placer Parkway, Westbrook Boulevard and Road “D”, is designated for retail and business park uses, as well as high density housing. This will be an ideal location for large format retail that will serve a wider area than Amoruso Ranch and the neighboring communities. Depending upon market demand, this site may include retail/office commercial or business park uses. Buildings should frame the road into the District, with large parking fields behind. A prominent building should be located at the intersection of Road D and Westbrook.
The 15-acre high density residential site provides residents the opportunity to walk to work and to retail services. Twenty-five spaces within the commercial parking lot will be provided for a park and ride lot. A small private park with amenities such as a play area, pool, or community building for use by the residents should be included. Parking should be broken into several lots and conveniently located for residents.
C. Central District

The Central District forms the heart of the Plan Area. It includes an elementary school, residential neighborhoods, and a variety of parks, including the crossing park that will provide pedestrian access throughout the area. A looped roadway with paseos around the District provides connectivity between the neighborhoods, parks, school, and the Village District for pedestrians and bicycles.
This District provides the broadest range of housing types and choices. Residents will be able to choose from homes as dense as apartments and townhomes, or single-family detached homes. This mixing of densities and lifestyle choices create a more fully integrated community.
A variety of parks serves the residents and creates options for recreation. A ten-acre park (AR-62) is located on the north end of the quadrant, adjacent to Westbrook Boulevard, south of Placer Parkway.
Two smaller neighborhood parks are also proposed within the Central District. The linear east west park (AR-64), links the elementary school, parks, and Urban Park together.
The southern edge of the District has frontage along open space. Homes could front on, side on, or back on the open space creating a sequence of different experiences and edge conditions. A one-acre park (AR-63) and a pedestrian and bicycle path along the northern edge will provide visual and physical connections to the open space.

The Southeast District of the ARSP contains a mix of residential neighborhoods including high density apartments, townhomes, and single family detached, ranging from small to standard lot, as well as a oneacre park, and a fire station site.
This District is located between Westbrook Boulevard and the future Placer Ranch Plan Area. Two arterials connect Westbrook to the Placer Ranch Plan Area. The District also takes direct access from Westbrook Boulevard where a neighborhood street provides a direct focal point at the neighborhood park.

Over twenty-three percent (23%) of the Plan Area is planned for park and open space uses, which is equivalent to 22 acres of park, 11 acres of open space paseo, and 155 acres of open space. The open space and park network provides a key element of the ARSP. In general, environmentally sensitive or significant land due to the presence of habitat, resources, natural features, or man-made features is designated as open space. Open space areas provide opportunities for scenic vistas, water conveyance and retention, stormwater quality/treatment, pedestrian/bike trails and resource avoidance and preservation.
The vision for the neighborhood parks is to create a variety of parks, both in size and activity, which are linked together via a paseo system. To create a “string of pearls,” the parks range in size from one-acre to ten-acres. Design of each park is intended to be unique to create memory points or landmarks within the community. They are dispersed throughout the Plan Area so that almost all residents are within a quarter mile of a park, and have a pleasant route to walk or bike to that park. See Figure 8.2 Park Distribution and Figure 8.3 Walking Distances to Parks in Chapter 8.
To create a unique identity for each park, each conceptual layout draws from a wide variety of amenities at a minimum; parks will provide turf areas for informal activities, benches or tables for picnicking and shaded seating for larger group events as well as active, formal areas for organized play. See Chapter 8 for more information.

The ARSP includes many of the City’s Blueprint Implementation Strategies for multi-modal circulation, providing multiple transportation choices to address vehicles, public transit, bicyclists and pedestrians.
The pedestrian and bicycle network forms the backbone of the Plan Area. It includes on-street bike lanes, pedestrian paths or paseos along specific streets, a network of sidewalks separated from driving or parking areas by landscaped parkways, and small, individual block serving paseos that link directly to homes. Where important pedestrian links occur, such as the street-side paseos, driveway access for individual homes are not allowed in order to reduce pedestrian/auto conflicts and reinforce the pedestrian friendly street experience.
This network links all land uses together within the ARSP and allows for connections to the regional system as well as off-site amenities such as the Al Johnson Wildlife Area. The pedestrian network is further defined in Chapter 7.
For vehicles, the backbone roadway system includes a combination of regional arterial and collector streets to provide connections from existing and planned roadways adjacent to the Plan Area. These roadways are designed to accommodate future anticipated local and area traffic demands, with opportunities for connections to future planned Placer Parkway and to roadways leading to the City of Lincoln. The design of the backbone roadway system supports the creation of a smaller “neighborhood” network of local roadways. This network forms a modified grid where high connectivity eliminates the need for collector streets within the community.
Many homes face onto pedestrian oriented streets, neighborhood serving parks, garden courts, small pocket parks and block level paseo connections. Curbcuts and driveway cuts are minimized along the streetside paseos creating a continuous and a safe path for walkers utilizing the pedestrian network.
These homes may side on to the paseos, or have garages served by carriageways or alleys behind the unit. Mixed with traditional street loaded homes, this expands the housing choices for future residents within the Plan Area.
In keeping with the design philosophy of an integrated community, sound and privacy walls are eliminated wherever feasible by the creation of a street network that results in low Average Daily Trip (ADT) counts.
Additionally, the Development Standards of the ARSP (Appendix A) places certain requirements on parcels adjacent to arterial roads to minimize walls. Appropriate land uses, orientation of structures and appropriate landscaped setbacks are some of the methods the Amoruso Ranch plan utilizes to mitigate noise while minimizing walls.
While no fixed guideway transit is currently planned for the area, the City of Roseville may, as funding allows, provide commuter, dial-a-ride, and local transit services to the Plan Area. This may include some form of bus service that would link the Amoruso Ranch community to the region. Locations for future convenient transit stops may be provided on both sides of Westbrook Boulevard and will provide amenities to support a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route through the Plan Area. Any transit shelter should be complementary to and reinforce the character of the Village District architecture. Potential transit facilities are further discussed in Circulation Plan Chapter 7.
3.5 Landscape Concept
The landscape design at Amoruso Ranch plays an important role in meeting the overall vision set forth by this document to create a truly memorable community. The vision behind the landscape concept at Amoruso Ranch is to design a community that achieves the following goals:
Reinforce a strong identity and “sense of place” through landscape design. Create an interconnected pedestrian network supported by landscape character. Maintain a visually open character of the site.
COMMUNITY FORM & PLANNING PRINCIPLES
3 - 16 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
Landscape character and design responds to each land use and becomes one of the main unifying elements for Amoruso Ranch. Continuity and consistency is key to achieving this goal. The “big idea” for the landscape at Amoruso Ranch is to create a landscape character with texture, variety and botanical diversity and interest in the planted forms.
Great streetscapes create initial impressions of a community. The Amoruso Ranch Plan strives to enhance the pedestrian experience. The street hierarchy and their corresponding street tree program help establish a sense of place and a certain visual continuity throughout the community. Detailed design guidelines for streetscape and landscape that include adherence to the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance are included in Section B.13 in Appendix B of this document.

CHAPTER 4 –
LAND USE PLAN
4.1 Overview
The Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) provides for a mix of land uses including low, medium and high density residential uses; commercial and office uses (which in some cases are sited with one another, and/or with residential uses); public and quasi-public uses for the school and civic uses such as a fire station, parks and open space uses; and an urban reserve parcel.
At build out, the Plan Area will provide for approximately 2,827 dwelling units which would accommodate roughly 7,379 residents, add approximately 476,000 square feet of commercial retail and office uses with the potential to expand to a maximum of 766,000 square feet, and provide approximately 22-acres of parks and 155 acres of open space.

4.3 Land Use Designations
Land uses within the ARSP are implemented through the zoning designation assigned to each parcel.
This includes the application of the Development Standards (DS) and Special Area (SA) overlay zones to provide customized Development Standards and permitted uses as allowed by the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Development Standards and Permitted Uses applicable to the Plan Area are provided in Appendix A. Where Appendix A is silent, the permitted uses and development standards established by the City of Roseville’s Zoning Ordinance and Community Design Guidelines shall apply.
The following summarizes the ARSP Land Use designations with descriptions for each Land Use related density and applied zoning districts:
A. Residential Land Uses
The ARSP utilizes three residential land use designations: Low Density Residential (LDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), and High Density Residential (HDR). This mix of residential land uses and their corresponding range of density support the vision of a community that includes a wide variety of housing types and options. Home types and lot sizes are intended to mix seamlessly together on almost a block by block development pattern.
The mix of housing types addresses future growth anticipated in the City of Roseville and neighboring regions. Approximately 70 percent of ARSP units are designated for low and medium densities and the remaining units, approximately 30 percent are planned as high density units.
The densities and supporting development standards as detailed in Appendix A, provide for the various housing options including conventional detached single family homes on large and small lots, alley loaded homes facing streets, parks or paseos, clusters, duets, townhomes, and apartments. This Specific Plan encourages innovative and unique lot configurations and home types that support the overall vision of the community as an urban village.
Custom Homes
Custom homes may be designated for construction in the northwest area of the ARSP located between Placer Parkway and West Sunset Boulevard. Custom homes are single-family residential units with unique exterior styling and individualized interior floor plans, and each home’s architectural design is distinct from others in the subdivision. Typically, custom homes have detailed architectural features and upscale amenities which give them an appearance and character similar to, or qualitatively exceeding individually designed homes found in the City’s other custom and/or executive housing neighborhoods. If proposed, custom home subdivisions maybe approved through the City’s tentative subdivision map process.

B. Commercial Land Uses
The Commercial Land Uses in the ARSP consist of two areas. The first is a Village District, intended to create a true mixed-use urban village atmosphere. The second is a more traditional retail area located adjacent to a possible future interchange along Placer Parkway that would support regional commercial and business park uses.
Therefore there are two distinctly different commercial land uses, including Community Commercial - Village District and Community Commercial to allow their development standards to respond to the difference in uses and character. Tables 4.6 and 4.7 provide further detail into the Commercial Land Use category.
Table 4.6

CMU-SA/DS-AR
Commercial Mixed-Use (Special Area Overlay): Village District Description The Community Commercial - Village District land use allows for a mix and density of land uses common to an urban setting or traditional downtown.
Sites with a Community Commercial - Village District (CC-VC) designation are intended to be developed as mixed-use centers that allow for a combination of commercial, office, and residential uses. To foster this type of development pattern, these sites have a Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zoning district, which is combined with a Special Area (SA) overlay and Development Standard Overlay. These sites are intended to promote a variety of commercial use types and the flexible siting of other uses that are typically considered to be compatible with commercial development.
The permitted uses on these parcels could be mixed in either a horizontal or vertical manner. This means that a commercial/office component could be colocated on the same site with a residential component, or that a commercial/office component could be located on the ground floor of a multistory residential component. This allows flexibility for future market conditions and encourages an active urban setting.

CHAPTER 5 –
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PLAN
5.1 Overview
State law (California Government Code Section 655584) requires each city and county plan to accommodate a fair share of the region’s housing needs through zoning and land use. In urban areas, state law provides for councils of governments to prepare regional housing need allocation plans that assign a share of the region’s housing need to each city and county. In the six-county greater Sacramento region, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is the entity authorized to determine the future housing needs for the region. SACOG adopted the most recent Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) Plan in 2012, for the planning period 2013 through the year 2021. Each city receives a total number of housing units it must plan for within this time frame. Each allocation includes a distribution for housing affordable to very low, low and moderate income households. The City of Roseville’s General Plan Housing Element, which is consistent with state law, establishes a citywide goal to provide decent, safe, adequate and affordable housing in sufficient quantities for all economic segments of the community.
The City’s Housing Element currently specifies an affordable housing goal of ten percent of all new housing units in the City be affordable to middle-, low- and very-low income households. The ARSP proposes a mix of housing types to provide the greatest opportunity to create affordable housing. The ARSP affordable housing program has been structured to be consistent with and implement the General Plan affordable housing goal.
Housing in the ARSP is planned to have a mix of housing types in low, medium and high density residential neighborhoods. Similar to existing low-density residential (LDR) areas of Roseville, it is anticipated that the LDR units provided in the ARSP area will provide market-rate housing affordable to moderate and above-moderate income households. The medium-density (MDR) and high-density (HDR) residential areas will provide greater opportunities for creating affordable housing for all income ranges.
As outlined later in this chapter, the ARSP affordable housing plan focuses on HDR parcels and is structured to be consistent with the City’s General Plan affordable housing goals.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
5 - 2 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
5.2 Definition of Housing Affordability
Housing affordability is based on household income categories as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The standard measure of affordability is the median household income calculated for the Sacramento – Arden-Arcade – Roseville, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area. All jurisdictions within this Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Placer County, utilize the same basic income calculations irrespective of actual income level distribution in the community. Income categories are summarized in Table 5.1.
Table 5.1
Definition of Household Income Categories
Income Category Percent of Median Income
Very-Low Income Less than 50% of Median
Low-Income 51% to 80% of Median
Middle-Income 81% to 100% of Median
Moderate Income 101% to 120% of Median
Above Moderate Income 121% and Above of Median
Based on sales and rental qualifications and the definition of affordability, the City’s Housing Element includes the following housing assistance needs identified for each income group:
Very Low Income Households not currently owning their own home will not be able to qualify for home ownership without substantial subsidies, unless their incomes rise significantly. Rental subsidies for very-low income households are needed to maintain affordability. Low-Income Households not currently owning their own home will require loan subsidies to afford and qualify for homeownership. Rental subsidies for low-income households are needed to maintain affordability.
Middle- and Moderate-Income Households may require some assistance in purchasing a home since the price range of new homes in Roseville may exceed their ability to pay. This group is likely to afford rental units without financial assistance.
Above Moderate Income Households are considered financially able to find affordable units, both for purchase and rent, within Roseville’s housing market.
Numerous assumptions are required to translate household income to affordable rental rates and purchase prices. Lenders ultimately determine the actual purchasing power of household income at a given point in time. A household can qualify to purchase a home based on annual income, down payment, level of other long-term financial obligation and interest rates.
For planning purposes, the City of Roseville assumes for rental units, low- and very-low income households should not spend more than thirty percent (30%) of their monthly gross income on housing costs, including utilities. For middle-income households, thirty-five (35%) of monthly gross income is used to determine housing affordability. Purchase housing costs include payment of principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any homeowner’s association dues.
It is recognized that various factors which determine affordability continually change, and project specific affordability standards need to be established and adjusted as development occurs. To that end, the 10 percent affordable housing goal is calculated for each Specific Plan Area based on the total residential units mapped.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN
5 - 3 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
5.3 Affordable Housing Program
Consistent with the City of Roseville’s General Plan Housing Element, at least ten percent of the units in the ARSP have been designated for lower income households, specifically low- and very-low income households. This includes rental housing affordable to low- and very-low income households. To provide housing affordable to the income level households with the greatest needs, the ARSP provides a total of 283 rental units affordable to the low- and very-low income households, consistent with the City’s ten percent affordable housing goal in the City’s General Plan Housing Element. Sixty percent of affordable units in the ARSP will be affordable to low-income residents and forty percent to very-low income residents. The ARSP affordable housing goal is summarized below in Table 5.2.
Table 5.2
ARSP Affordable Housing Program
Dwelling Type Number of Units Percentage
Low-Income (Rental) 170 Units 60%
Very Low-Income (Rental) 113 Units 40%
Total Affordable Units 283 Units 100%
GP Affordable Housing Requirement 283 Units
Table 5.3 lists the parcels in the Plan Area that have been identified for low and very low income units.
Certain funding sources available for low and very low units are awarded based upon location and adjacency to services, and require the units to be located on one piece of property. This greatly affects non-profit developers in their ability to successfully bring these units to the market. The locations of the parcels for low and very low rental units are identified in Figure 5.1 below.

AR-44 HDR 150 113 45 68
Total 283 Units 113 170
5.4 Administration and Implementation
Residential builders are encouraged to explore creative approaches in providing a range of housing opportunities to meet the needs of low- and very-low-income households. Over time, housing markets, income categories, funding programs, and other factors change, and it is important to retain some level of flexibility to ensure that affordable housing goals are achieved.
The options outlined below may be considered to assist in achieving the ARSP affordable housing goal. It should be noted that the City reserves the right to consider alternatives to achieving affordable housing within the ARSP (such as allowing carriage units or granny flats in LDR or MDR areas), should the cost of producing the affordable housing preclude the City from accessing federal and state financing programs, or if legislation mandates the City to alter its approach to affordable housing.
Transfers/Credits
Subject to administrative approval by the Director of the City’s Housing Division or designee, the affordable housing allocations of 283 affordable rental units identified on Table 5.3 may be transferred among parcels within the ARSP. In addition, to the extent that the number of affordable units produced on a parcel exceeds the number of affordable units allocated to that parcel, the excess units may be credited

towards meeting the ARSP affordable housing goal assigned to the other parcel. Transfer and/or credits may be approved by the Director of the City’s Housing Division or designee, without the need for amendments to the ARSP or to the ARSP Development Agreements, if it is determined that the transfers/credits maintain the ability to produce affordable units and achieve the ARSP affordable housing goal and:
The transfers/credits are applied to parcels within the ARSP and are covered by the same Development Agreement;
The transfers/credits improve the ability to produce affordable units and achieve the affordable housing goal of the ARSP.
Requests for transfers and/or credits shall include information as deemed necessary by the City to ensure consistency with the ARSP’s affordable housing program. In addition, a revised affordable housing allocation (Table 5.3) shall be provided reflecting adjusted affordable unit allocations. The City’s housing division shall maintain all revisions to Table 5.3 as the official ARSP affordable housing allocation record.
The affordable housing unit transfer shall be memorialized by way of a recorded Memorandum of Understanding (or substitute form as specified by the City).
Density Bonus
The City may, in accordance with its Density Bonus Ordinance (Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 19.28) and the General Plan Housing Element, assign additional residential units to projects for the purpose of achieving the affordable housing goal. The increase in units provided by the density bonus is intended to reduce average per unit development costs. In the ARSP, a density bonus is assigned by City approval of an Affordable Housing Agreement to individual projects on a case-by-case basis, and may constitute a portion of the subsidy (if required) for the provision of affordable units.
In-Lieu Fee
To the extent an in-lieu affordable housing fee is adopted on a citywide basis, a portion of the affordable very low housing allocation identified in Table 5.2 may be satisfied by paying an in-lieu fee, subject to approval by the Director of the City’s Housing Division.
5.5 Affordable Rental Housing Agreement
An Affordable Rental Housing Agreement (or substitute form as specified by the City) is required to detail and secure the specific requirements and obligations. Among other provisions, the Affordable Rental Housing Agreement will:
ï Specify the number of affordable units to be reserved at each income level; ï Specify the term of the affordability obligation;
ï Set initial rent for the designated affordable units; ï Establish criteria and a basis for annual rent increases; ï Provide the City with a mechanism to monitor actual rents; and, ï Identify any City or other subsidies required to assist in meeting the affordability requirement and, if applicable, the basis and terms for refunding such subsidies.
Affordable Rental Housing Agreements require City approval prior to the issuance of building permits, or recordation of a final small lot map where a subdivision map is required, for any large-lot parcel with an affordable housing allocation. The total number of affordable units required is to be calculated based on the number of final units mapped.

CHAPTER 6 –
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
6.1 Overview
The ARSP consists of relatively flat to gently rolling terrain situated at an elevation of approximately 70 to 100 feet above mean sea level. Historic uses of the site included planting of winter wheat and oats, as well as cattle ranching.
As shown in the site photos below, annual grassland is the dominant vegetation community on the site and is comprised primarily of non-native, naturalized Mediterranean grasses. Aquatic features are interspersed within the annual grassland community and include two marshes, an intermittent drainage/University Creek, an ephemeral drainage, seasonal wetland swales, and scattered vernal pools and seasonal wetlands.
University Creek flows from east to west. It enters the site from the southeast, leaves the site along the southern boundary, then re-enters the Plan Area in the southwest corner.

The Plan Area has several project components as illustrated in Figure 6.1. These include the Amoruso Ranch Project with approximately 480 acres of development areas, an open space preserve, general open space – avoided area, and the approximately 18-acre Westbrook Boulevard that serves the Plan Area. Also occurring within the Plan Area is the approximately 49-acre future Placer Parkway Regional Transportation Improvement project (see Figure 6.1). This project, although within the overall Amoruso Ranch property, is a separate project and will be reviewed and processed by the City and County. An additional parcel of land, the approximately 20-acre Wagner parcel, lies to the south of the Amoruso Ranch property and is designated an Urban Reserve.

The ARSP contains four types of open space totaling approximately 155 1546 156 acres. These types include open space preserve (109 acres), general open space – avoided area (10 acres), transition zone open space (25 26 acres), and paseos (11 acres).
Each type of open space has been designed to accommodate specific functions and activities, from very limited use to active recreation and infrastructure. The on-site open space Preserve will be permanently preserved to protect Waters of the U.S. and habitat for federally listed species. This protection will be provided by either a declaration of covenants and restrictions and/or a conservation easement to restrict access and activities within the preserve. The area would be managed in accordance with the City’s OSPOMP. General open space – avoided area also contains Waters of the U.S. and species habitat.
While these areas will be avoided by the Project development, they may be impacted by the future Placer Parkway and therefore are not currently proposed for protection by a deed restriction and/or conservation easement. The ultimate management strategy for the General Open Space – avoided areas will be determined during future Placer Parkway project federal permitting process. During the interim period the avoided area would be managed as General Open Space in accordance with the City’s OSPOMP.
Transition Zone open space consists of the parcels that boarder the open space Preserve and General open space – avoided areas. These parcels provide a buffer to the Preserve open space and will be utilized for activities such as slope grading, outfall/stormwater structures, bike trails, weed abatement activities, open space maintenance, and health and safety vehicle access. The Transition zone open space area will not be protected by conservation easement and all wetlands within this area will be permitted for fill.
Examples of typical infrastructure elements within Transition Zone open space areas can be found in Figure
6.3 to 6.11. Paseos are linear parcels of open space that provide pedestrian trails and green space within development areas. Paseos will not be protected by conservation easement and all wetlands within this area will be permitted for direct fill. A list of the parcels in each open space type is shown in Table 6.1 below. Paseos are not addressed further in this Resource Management Chapter because they are developed/landscaped areas that do not contain natural resources and would not be subject to special resource management actions outlined in the City’s OSPOMP.

The ARSP is consistent with the goals of the City of Roseville’s General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element. It establishes approximately 16 percent of the project as permanent open space preserve, designed to protect some of the most prominent natural resource areas within the Plan Area. The ARSP open space preserve is contiguous with other open space preserves and abuts portions of the Creekview Specific Plan’s open space preserve to the south, portions of West Roseville Specific Plan’s open space preserve to the southeast, and the City of Roseville’s Al Johnson Wildlife Area to the southwest (Figure
6.2). The resource management approach is designed to be consistent with resource agency input received during an early consultation process completed for the project as an outgrowth of the May 2000
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
6 - 5 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
The City conducts early consultation with the resource agencies for annexation projects proposed on the City of Roseville’s western boundary, such as the ARSP.
The ARSP open space preserve is intended to complement larger-scale regional conservation strategies, such as the proposed Placer County Conservation Plan (PCCP), Placer County’s proposed habitat conservation plan. Coordination with the conservation efforts of other agencies/projects is a fundamental principle and key objective of the Amoruso Ranch resource management approach. In addition to resource protection, the on-site open space preserve helps define the visual character of the site, provides for passive recreation opportunities, provides stormwater drainage and treatment, includes storm water conveyance, and provides land use buffering.
Based on the characteristics of the Amoruso Ranch property, the resources management approach in the Specific Plan focuses on wetlands, annual grassland habitat, wildlife, and providing connecting open space corridors. Additional resources are further addressed in the ARSP Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The ARSP proposes to append to the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan for purposes of monitoring, reporting, and management of on-site open space areas.
6.2 Wetland Resources
A. Pre-Development Conditions
In its pre-development condition, several types of wetland features exist within the Plan Area (see site photos below). The most prominent of these are wetland swales, which are found throughout the site and carry water briefly during winter rainfall. As mentioned previously, University Creek is present within the southern portion of the site. University Creek currently flows with winter rainfall and runs dry (or below the surface) during the summer months. It receives some irrigation run-off from an irrigated pasture located in the northeast portion of the Amoruso Ranch site.
Outside of the swales and University Creek, vernal pools, seasonal wetlands, marshes, a stock pond, and an ephemeral drainage are scattered throughout the annual grassland community. The vernal pools and seasonal wetlands fill with rainwater during the winter months and can remain inundated until spring or early summer. These wetland areas include habitat potentially suitable for certain federal and/or state special-status plant and wildlife species. A total of 38.577 acres of wetlands and other Waters of the U.S. occur within the Amoruso Ranch property, Al Johnson Wildlife Area Improvements Area, and the Sunset Boulevard West right-of-way in its pre-development condition, as listed in Table 6.2.

B. Avoidance & Mitigation Strategies
B.1 Avoidance
The ARSP is the result of comprehensive planning and is influenced by the desire to minimize impacts on wetlands and habitat for endangered species to the fullest extent feasible. The proposed open space preserve is shown on Figure 6-1. It has been designed to avoid impacts to University Creek, preserve the highest quality vernal pools and seasonal wetlands at the site, create an open space preserve that is contiguous with other open space preserves, and to provide buffers for habitat protection. Additional information regarding impacted and avoided wetlands, including mitigation strategies, is provided in the EIR.
Development of the Amoruso Ranch Plan Area will beis subject to approvals from state and federal resources agencies including the USFWS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The City of Roseville and the project proponent worked extensively with representatives of various federal and state agencies during an early consultation process to refine the plan to minimize impacts to resources, create open space preserves of regional benefit, and to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act and the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA).
B.2 On-Site Resource Preservation
Wetland features and habitat within the ARSP open space preserve will be protected in perpetuity. The ARSP open space preserve will total approximately 109 acres and will be established within the overall Plan Area (see Figure 6-1). To ensure the open space preserve and its habitats are maintained, grading and drainage plans for the ARSP are designed to minimize impacts on the open space preserve’s existing hydrology. It is anticipated thatThe maintenance and management of the open space preserve will be conducted in perpetuity in accordance with the City of Roseville’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan, discussed further in Section 6.3 below. It is further anticipated that the resource agencies may require an endowment and conservation easement recorded in favor of a third party land trust to monitor in perpetuity any on-site endangered species habitat credited to the project through the Clean Water Act Section 404 and ESA Section 7 permit process.The onsite preserve will be protected in perpetuity with a conservation easement that will be held by the Placer County Authority (PCA) as a

condition of the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit and Endanger Species Act Section 7 incidental take authorization.
B.3 Off-Site Resource Mitigation
Where biological resources cannot be avoided or preserved within the Amoruso Ranch Plan Area, off-site mitigation may beis required to off-set impacts to biological resources and endangered species habitat, including wetlands that fall within the USFWS Vernal Pool Recovery Plan designated Core Area within Western Placer County. Per the permit approved by USACE, USFWS, CVRWQCB and CDFW, off-site mitigation will occur via a payment of fees to the PCA. The PCA is responsible for utilizing collected funds to acquire lands within Placer County for the purpose of open space protection and management, and for the creation of wetland habitat for the purpose of mitigating impacts to wetlands and waters within the County. Land controlled by the PCA will be managed in accordiance with an Operations and Management Plan developed by the Placer County Conservation Program. Off-site land will be managed in a manner to ensure that land will be strategically and effectively managed to support the survival and well-being of covered species, as well as hundreds of other species that are dependent on the same habitat. Mitigation may be achieved by the purchase of habitat credits from established agency-approved mitigation banks or through agency-approved off-site wetland preservation, restoration, and/or creation. Offsite mitigation areas controlled by the specific plan proponent would be privately managed according to an individual Operations & Management (O&M) Plan approved by the agencies as part of the permit process. Alternatively, the offsite preserve properties may be dedicated to the City by the landowner, subject to approval by the City.
The offsite preservation properties shall be consistent with the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan or other management plan approved by the resource agencies. Where mitigation bank “credits” are purchased, preserve management would be in accordance with pre-approved mitigation bank O&M Plans.
C. Vegetation and Wildlife
Annual grassland is the dominant vegetation community present within the Amoruso Ranch Plan Area and is comprised primarily of non-native, naturalized Mediterranean grasses. The most common grassland plant species found within the site include soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), ryegrass (Festuca perennis), wild oat (Avena fatua), barbed goatgrass (Aegilops triuncialis), little quaking grass (Briza minor), and medusahead grass (Elymus caput-medusae). Wetland features such as marshes, seasonal wetland swales, vernal pools, and seasonal wetlands and streams are embedded in the annual grassland habitat.
Valley oak (Quercus lobata) trees are scattered along the intermittent drainage that runs through the southern portions of the site. The northeastern portion of the site consists of irrigated pasture and is dominated by the plant species Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), tall flatsedge (Cyperus eragrostis), and Kentucky fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Surveys have shown that one blue elderberry (Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea) shrub occurs among old farming equipment within the rural residence located in the northeast corner of the Amoruso Property.
The Amoruso Ranch property’s various wetland habitats support a variety of wildlife species. These include waterfowl, wading birds, and several amphibian species which use the wetland areas in the winter and spring. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), a federally listed threatened species, has been documented within several on-site vernal pools and is protected pursuant to the Federal ESA. In addition, the annual grassland habitat provides forging habitat for several raptor species, including Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) and burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia). Swainson’s hawk is a state-listed threatened species and is protected pursuant to the California ESA. Although Swainson’s hawks have not been located at the site, two Swainson’s hawk nests have been previously documented within the 501-acre Creekview Specific Plan directly south of the Amoruso Ranch Plan Area. Several prey species are expected to occur within the annual grassland habitat on the site, including California vole (Microtus californicus), black-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus californicus), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and pocket gopher (Thomomys spp.). Burrowing owl is a state species of concern and has been documented in the Amoruso Ranch Plan Area. The blue elderberry shrub is the exclusive host plant of the Valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus), or VELB, a federally listed threatened species that is protected

pursuant to the federal ESA. The one blue elderberry shrub located on the Amoruso Ranch site is highly unlikely to provide habitat for VELB because it is located amongst old farming equipment and debris and is more than nine miles from the closest documented occurrence of VELB.
Trees
A total of 28 Valley oak trees occur along the intermittent drainage located in the southern portion of the Amoruso Ranch property and would be subject to regulation under the City of Roseville Native Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance. Oaks are important to a variety of wildlife species because they produce acorns, an extremely important food source for insects and wildlife. All oak trees present on the site will be preserved as part of the Amoruso Ranch project’s open space preserve.
6.3 Operations & Management Plan
The ARSP’s on-site open space preserve is expected to append to and be managed in accordance to the City of Roseville’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan (OSPOMP). The OSPOMP guides the management of other open space areas owned by the City of Roseville and provides mechanisms for consistent application of preserve management strategies across the City. The OSPOMP outlines preserve management responsibilities and strategies as well as allowed and prohibited activities.
A. Preserve Transition Zone
OSPOMP includes a requirement to establish a 50-foot “transition zone” to serve as a buffer for preserve resources where the preserve abuts development property. According to the OSPOMP, indirect impacts to habitat adjacent to the 50-foot transition zone assessed by the agencies must be mitigated by the project proponent along with all direct impacts to habitat within the 50-foot transition zone. The transition zone may contain (but is not limited to) such improvements as public utility easements, storm water outfalls, constructed swales and ditches, bike trails, water quality BMPs, maintenance access ramps, slopes, and fencing. The ARSP open space preserve has been designed to be consistent with the intent of OSPOMP transition zone requirements. In fact, in many locations the proposed transition zone far exceeds the OSPOMP recommended 50-foot width. For example, the transition zone proposed adjacent to the southwest preserve is over 80 feet wide, accommodating a drainage channel with water quality features, outfalls, a Class I bike trail, and maintenance access ramps. In other locations, where specific plan infrastructure needs are less, the proposed transition zone is reduced to 30 feet, but in no location is it less than 30 feet (the minimum width determined necessary to provide protection to preserve resources).
Additionally, there is a minimum 50 foot buffer extending further into the open space that provides protection to resources, essentially providing a cumulative minimum 80 foot transition zone from the edge of preserved wetlands to edge of urban development. The project’s 404 permit allows for thisapplication includes a request for an exception to the City’s OSPOMP minimum transition zone width requirement, allowing for a minimum transition zone of 30 feet, as shown in Figure 6.3. The exception request will be addressed by the USACE and USFWS in the Section 404 Permit and Biological Opinion issued to the project.
In the unlikely event that the exception is denied, additional transition zone buffer width could be incorporated from the adjacent development parcel.
B. Dedication Timing and Management Responsibilities
The OSPOMP also outlines preserve maintenance, management, and reporting responsibilities that apply during the preserve establishment phase and in perpetuity. As outlined in the OSPOMP, during the preserve establishment phase, open space preserve parcels remain privately owned and managed while adjacent development is completed and all open space improvements are installed by the landowner/developer. This includes amenities located within the transition area like drainage channels, outfalls, water quality swales, maintenance access ramps, and post and cable fencing. Following buildout of adjacent areas and completion of transition area improvements, the on-site open space preserve is
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
6 - 19 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
expected to be dedicated to and managed by the City of Roseville following the process outlined in the OSPOMP Chapter 5.
In the unlikely event that the Amoruso Ranch on-site open space preserve is not appended to the OSPOMP, a separate O&M Plan will be developed and implemented in accordance with the applicable 404 permits to continually manage, monitor, maintain, report, and correct disturbance, if any, to the open space preserve. This document will ultimately be approved by the regulatory agencies and will specify the permitted activities and features within the Amoruso Ranch project’s open space preserves.
C. Preserve Funding
Funding for the management of the on-site open space preserve will be provided by an annual tax levy via creation of a Communities Facilities District (or other funding mechanism) as further discussed in Chapter
10. Should the project receive credit for on-site endangered species habitat preservation, a third party easement and monitoring by a qualified non-profit land trust may be required by the federal permitting agencies. Any required third party easement monitoring would be funded by a separate endowment established by the land owner/developer.
6.4 Cultural & Historic Resources
Historic use of the land includes agricultural use to plant and harvest winter wheat and oats and cattle ranching. Surrounding land uses include rural residences, cattle grazing, and agricultural fields.
Prehistorically, the property was likely used for resource procurement and subsistence activities. Based on the results of the pre-field archival research, and literature review, field studies and in consideration of the depositional environment of the Project Area, the area was is identified as being moderately sensitive for prehistoric and historic cultural resources. One historic-era residence with associated outbuildings was documented within the northeastern corner of the Amoruso Ranch project area. This complex was evaluated for significance by a qualified architectural historian and found to be not eligible for inclusion in the Natural Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources. Therefore, no known historic properties will be affected by the proposed project. The ARSP EIR will provides more detailed information and will provide the measures for the appropriate management of unanticipated discoveries.

CHAPTER 7 –
CIRCULATION PLAN
7.1 Overview
The circulation system for the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) provides a hierarchy of streets, bikeways, walkways and multi-use trails throughout the development area that provide both connectivity to and the expansion of existing and planned future City and regional facilities, and public transit options that will serve the community. The placement of parks, landscape corridors and the alignment of the streets organize the community and promote traffic calming and pedestrian use. A modified grid pattern provides multiple ingress and egress points into and out of the Plan Area which helps to disperse traffic resulting in local streets that are pleasant to live on and walk or bike along. This street pattern, in conjunction with the pedestrian connections, provides a seamless network of connectivity throughout the Plan Area. By providing street trees and landscaping within the adjacent parkways, removing many of the driveway curb cuts and street-facing garages, and incorporating traffic calming measures such as bulbed intersections and roundabouts, the street design encourages alternate transportation modes including walking and biking throughout the community and to the outlying region.
In order to meet the City’s roadway Level of Service (LOS) standards while at the same time creating a network of pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets, the ARSP establishes the following street design standards that are to be utilized for the design and construction of the streets within the ARSP.

7.2 Roadways
Existing and Proposed Regional System and Connections
The development of Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan is influenced by several existing and planned roadways that provide access to the Plan Area. These roads have been planned to accommodate the future growth of regional development and are the backbone of the circulation plan. Westbrook Boulevard – Westbrook Boulevard is a planned north/south six-lane arterial roadway and designated truck route that will begin at Baseline Road and extend north of Blue Oaks Boulevard, through the Creekview Specific Plan (CSP) area entering the southern portion of the ARSP, and extending north through the ARSP. Westbrook Boulevard will terminate at the intersection of West Sunset Boulevard with a signalized connection. The future planned extension of Westbrook Boulevard may continue north to the City of Lincoln, and the plan does not preclude a future connection to the future Placer Parkway.
Placer Parkway – Placer Parkway is a planned 15-mile long, high-speed limited access transportation facility, which will connect State Route 65 in western Placer County to State Route 99 in south Sutter County and bisects the northwest area of the Plan Area. As currently planned, Placer Parkway will have 4-lanes from Hwy 65 west to the future extension of Santucci Boulevard (Watt Ave) and 6-lanes from Santucci Boulevard west to Hwy 99. The right-of-way for this planned facility, as it traverses through the ARSP will be dedicated to the Public as part of the planned development. While a connection to Westbrook Boulevard has not been precluded by the development of the ARSP, no connection to Westbrook Boulevard is planned at this time, and depending on the final design and traffic needs the connection could be on-grade or grade separated. West Sunset Boulevard – West Sunset Boulevard is an existing east/west two-lane rural roadway that is located along the northern boundary of the ARSP. The roadway is within unincorporated Placer County and will provide additional access points to the ARSP at the intersection to Road G and Westbrook Boulevard. With the development of the ARSP the adjacent portions of West Sunset Boulevard will be improved to meet the current County of Placer road standards for a rural road and landscape setbacks with improved sidewalk, landscaping and walls per City standards. Blue Oaks Boulevard - Blue Oaks Boulevard, a six-lane arterial which provides east/west circulation through the City, lies along the southern boundary of the CSP. Existing Blue Oaks Boulevard extends from Highway 65 west to approximately Hayden Parkway and will be extended to Westbrook Boulevard to provide access into the ARSP.
Planned ARSP System and Improvements
The ARSP roadway system is illustrated on Figure 7.1 Street Hierarchy Plan, with lane capacity, right-ofway, and landscape requirements summarized in Table 7-1. Typical roadway design sections are illustrated in this chapter, with corresponding landscaping standards and related design details included in the ARSP Design Guidelines (Appendix B). Additional streets sections than those defined in this chapter or different than the City of Roseville’s street sections may be reviewed and approved with individual development applications.

Arterial Roadways
Arterial roadways are primary circulation routes which provide connections between sections of the City and the regional circulation system. Arterial roadways carry relatively high traffic volumes and do not permit on-street parking. In the ARSP, arterials are either four or six lanes and include landscape medians, on-street bike lanes and adjacent landscape corridors with detached eight-foot sidewalks. The eight-foot sidewalk along the arterial streets also function as Class IA sidewalks, which provide an option for bicyclists to ride on a street separated path versus riding in the street. The ROW of the arterials will be adjusted as required to accommodate turn lanes as per the traffic report.
Westbrook Boulevard
Westbrook Boulevard provides the main access into the ARSP and upon completion will be the major north/south arterial roadway that provides connection to other major roadways in the northwestern parts of the City. Planned sections of Westbrook Boulevard currently exist in the CSP, West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP), and the Sierra Vista Specific Plan (SVSP). When completed, Westbrook Boulevard will provide both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to the ARSP area and will provide considerations for future connectivity north to Dowd Road.
Westbrook Boulevard is planned as a 6-lane arterial roadway consistent with City Standards that consists of multiple lanes in the north and south directions, a landscaped median that also provides for left turn pockets, on-street striped bike lanes within the right-of-way, and landscaped corridors on either side.
Within the landscaped corridors, public utilities easements and a Class I/IA sidewalk, which will provide pedestrian connectivity at a regional level, will be constructed. Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) features will occur between the curb and pedestrian path in the landscaped parkway.
Westbrook Boulevard is shown in two figures to depict the roadway through the ARSP, north of Road A and south of Road A through the open space. The portion of Westbrook Boulevard south of Road A is a continuation of Westbrook as it comes north from the CSP area. This portion of Westbrook Boulevard provides a slightly reduced roadway section through the southern ARSP open space with a culvert crossing over University Creek that will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the project’s 404 permit, the City of Roseville and other jurisdictional agencies.

Minor Arterial “B”
The roadways designated as Minor Arterial “B” are planned as 4-lane minor arterial roadways consistent with City Standards and will provide local and regional east/west access to future developed properties to the east. These roadways will consist of two travel lanes with on-street striped bike lanes in each direction, separated by a landscaped median that allows for left turn pockets, within a 76-foot right-ofway. Public utilities easements occur along both sides as well as a Class IA sidewalk within a landscape corridor. Stormwater LID facilities may be located within the landscaped parkway between the curb and the pedestrian path.

Collector Roadways
Collector roadways are secondary routes which generally distribute trips from the arterial street system to the local street system. Consistent with City Standards, the collector roadways within the ARSP, will provide two travel lanes and on-street Class II bike lanes. Where collector roadways intersect with arterial roads at signalized intersections, dedicated turn lanes will be constructed to accommodate vehicular movements. Within ARSP, travel lanes for collector roadways have been reduced and landscape corridors have been provided in order to promote traffic calming, reduce travel speed, and to create a more pedestrian friendly community. The ROW of collector roadways will be adjusted as required to accommodate turn lanes as per the traffic report.
Modified Collector
The Modified Collector provides for one travel lane and on-street striped bike lanes in each direction, separated by a striped center turn lane along with a landscaped parkway and sidewalk or pedestrian path on each side, within a 48-foot right-of-way. On the north side, a public utilities easement includes a sidewalk and landscaped parkway. On the south side, a public utilities easement/ landscape easement, and a Class IA sidewalk all parallel the street.

Local Roadways and Alleys
Local roadways provide direct access from the collector and arterial streets through neighborhoods to residential units. The typical standard for a local street, within the ARSP, includes two travel lanes with space for on-street parallel parking and a detached sidewalk. The ARSP provides several types of local roadway, depending on the location and the desired interface between land uses and the roadway system.
Main Street
The Main Street is a private street, which creates the organizational element for the Village District. It is a low speed urban street that includes landscaping and hardscape appropriate to an urban setting.
The Main Street consists of one travel way in each direction. Where parking is provided, it may be on either or both sides of the street. Parking may be provided in parallel parking bays, or as angled parking.
Additional sections are discussed in Appendix A. The flexibility in this section is intended to allow for a variety of solutions that will lead to the most successful Village District. Street widths at intersections are reduced as a traffic calming measure and to shorten the walking distance for pedestrians. Street trees are located in tree wells with grates. In order to preserve the pedestrian experience, utilities are anticipated to be located behind the buildings, and not along the Main Street.
Buildings are setback from the right-of-way as described in Appendix A, Development Standards.

Main Street Promenade
The Main Street Promenade is a private street - an extension of the Main Street. It is intended to be lined with retail, mixed-use, live-work, or row townhomes and function similar to a plaza where pedestrians share the roadway space for special events. It may be closed off to automobile traffic for special events such as a farmers market, art walk or street fair with an approved traffic control plan and encroachment permit issued by the City.
The Main Street Promenade consists of two vehicular travel ways separated by a wide median. The section includes parallel parking bays on both sides. While each travel way is 20-feet wide, the portion adjacent to the median is constructed with special paving such as pavers or stamped concrete. This mountable portion is designed for the heavy loads of emergency response vehicles and provides for a drivable surface if needed, but visually narrows the road area and reinforces the pedestrian focus of the street. The median and the roadway can function as a plaza, with hard-surface seating and landscaped areas. This median may contain kiosks and small retail establishments. Street widths at intersections are reduced, eliminating the parking bay, to shorten the crossing for pedestrians.
Sidewalks adjacent to the street are expected to fill the setback from the face of the building to the rightof-way, with the exception of special landscaped areas. Street trees are placed in tree grates.
Buildings are set back as described in Appendix A, Development Standards.

Where neighborhood streets cross the Crossing Park or Paseos, the on-street parking is eliminated so that the street is narrowed with wider landscaped parkways and easier pedestrian crossing.
Within 250-feet of where these streets intersect with arterial roadways, additional dedicated turn lanes will be constructed, and parking restrictions will limit parking.

Roundabouts
Roundabouts are a type of circular intersection in which the traffic moves in a counterclockwise direction around a circular island. Roundabouts are defined by specific design and traffic control principles which include yield control of all entering traffic, channelized approaches and geometric curvature and features to induce desirable vehicular speeds. Roundabouts are designed to make intersections safer and more efficient for both drivers and pedestrians. Speeds within roundabouts are usually significantly slower than typical intersections yet allow a more efficient flow of traffic. They also increase driver safety and reduce injury accidents as they only create angled movements where the possibility of high speed head on or broad-side collisions are eliminated.
Within the ARSP, roundabouts with 110-foot diameters will be constructed at certain intersections on the modified primary residential streets with paseos. These designated intersections are where Roads D and E intersect with Road F as shown on the circulation plan exhibit In these locations, parking will be restricted on each side of the approaching roadway legs for a distance of 200-feet. Proper signage and standard design shall meet the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672 Figure 7.2l: Roundabout 1

(or latest Federal standards) and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) guidelines.
Traffic Circles
Traffic Circles are small roundabouts that are most commonly used in urban environments with a low operating speed and occur in the same amount of area as a standard intersection. Many times they are used to resolve street intersections where the angle of intersection is significantly deviated from a standard 90 degree intersection, or an odd number of streets come together. The size of the Traffic Circle is very conducive to a pedestrian friendly environment because of the reduced pedestrian crossing widths and low speeds. Traffic Circles also feature a fully mountable central island to accommodate larger vehicles, while being designed to provide for enough space for passenger cars to negotiate the roundabout without the use of that mountable island. Proper signage and standard design shall meet the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672 (or latest Federal standards) and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) guidelines.

Offsite Roadway
West Sunset Boulevard
West Sunset Boulevard is an existing two-lane rural roadway, within unincorporated Placer County, that is located along the northern boundary of the ARSP. The existing roadway will be improved to a Rural Secondary Roadway per Placer County Standards, as dictated by the phased development of the ARSP and County requirements. The proposed West Sunset Boulevard reduces the existing ROW while providing the County with two 12-foot travel lanes, two 4-foot shoulders, a new drainage ditch and the necessary turn lanes for access into the ARSP development. The roadway will also incorporate a 5-foot sidewalk within a 25 foot, City of Roseville owned, landscape corridor along the southern edge of the roadway.

A. Traffic Signals and Median Breaks along Westbrook Boulevard Westbrook Boulevard is designed to maximize efficiency for automobiles and enable safe movement for bicyclists and pedestrians. Locations of traffic signals and median breaks are identified to plan for left turn movements along arterial roadways, thereby enhancing the efficiency of traffic flow and minimizing interruptions to landscaped medians. The left turn movements at the median breaks are only permitted for the traffic turning left from the arterial. Left turn movements out from the streets to the arterial at these median break locations are prohibited. Additional median breaks may be allowed without amending the ARSP subject to approval by the City of Roseville Engineering Division and Planning Division per the Design Guidelines.

7.6 Pedestrian Pathways, Bikeways, & Trails
The pedestrian and bikeway network is an important component in ensuring connectivity and promoting non-vehicular travel to and within the ARSP area. The network has been designed as an integral part of the community, providing easy and efficient access to the Village District, the elementary school, and parks.
This network of bicycle, multi-purpose trail, sidewalk and paseo connections within the community link the neighborhoods together, provides connections to the surrounding areas, and provides local and regional connections to the existing City of Roseville.
Pedestrian connection opportunities are provided to adjacent uses and allow for easy access to the regional trail and bicycle network that is currently present or planned in the City. Planned connections to adjacent land uses include: A Class I trail connection along Westbrook Boulevard south to the Creekview Specific Plan area; a Class IA trail connection along Road A and Road B to the east property boundary; and opportunities at the west end of the site for a connection(s). The streetside paseo system, which contains a Class IA sidewalk, connects to the Class I trail along the open space which will allow the City to connect to the future trail system within the Al Johnson Wildlife Area to the Amoruso Ranch trail network. For these trail and bicycle path locations, please see Figure 7.6 in this Chapter.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks form the day to day linkages throughout the community for the majority of pedestrians. All streets within Amoruso Ranch will have sidewalks on both sides, or a sidewalk on one side and a multipurpose trail on the other. The character of the sidewalks should reflect their adjacent land uses. For example, sidewalks within residential neighborhoods will be predominantly five feet wide and separated from the street by a landscaped parkway strip. In locations where a more urban character is desired such as in front of brownstone style row town homes, or adjacent to retail or commercial uses, the sidewalks may widen and become curb adjacent with street trees located in tree grates. This flexibility will create a community where the pedestrian experience responds to its context. Bicycle riding is allowed on all public sidewalks. Sidewalk bicycling on the privately owned Main Street, the Main Street Promenade and the Modified Primary Residential Street-Village Street may be prohibited if desired by the private property owner.
Pedestrian Paths and Bikeways
Pedestrian and bicycle circulation forms the backbone of the Amoruso Ranch community plan. This network creates linkages to all portions of the community as well as connection opportunities to the regional system. This network contains the following components:
Class I Bike Trails: A Class I Bike Trail is provided within open space as illustrated in Figure 7.6 and provides a link to the City owned Al Johnson Wildlife Area from ARSP. Additional trail connection opportunities may be available if maintenance roads adjacent to drainage channels are used as bike trails.
Class IA Sidewalks: These sidewalks are located within a landscaped paseo or adjacent to modified primary residential road along key roads and link together the parks within the ARSP area. Here, casual cyclists and pedestrians share the path. Individual residential driveways are not allowed on the paseo side of the street to reduce conflict with vehicles. Class II Bike Lanes: Class II Bike Lanes are on-street striped lanes that enhance the community connectivity for more avid cyclists. They also occur on the regionally serving arterial streets thus connecting to the greater City of Roseville bike lane network. Class III Bike Routes: Class III bike routes are designated on roads that provide key connections between destinations, but do not include on-street bike lanes. Class III bike routes may be enhanced with “Share the Road/ Bicycles May Use Full Lane” signs, Shared Use Markings (arrows), directional signs or other features to inform the motoring public that bicycles are to be expected.

7.7 Traffic Calming
As a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community, traffic calming at intersections and key pedestrian crossings is an important element of street design.
Traffic calming is intended to occur at all internal
neighborhood street intersections to slow traffic and is achieved by eliminating the on-street parking lane, allowing the curbs to “bulb-out” at intersections and therefore
shortening the crossing distance for pedestrians. These bulb-outs also provide clearly identified parking locations which keep parked cars from encroaching into pedestrian crossings at intersections.
Figure 7.7a: Conceptual Bulb-Out Intersection
This condition occurs where key pedestrian routes cross streets. Here, the parking lane is dropped from both sides of the street, narrowing the pedestrian crossing distance and slowing traffic. The pathway material and surface treatment is carried across the street to reinforce the pedestrian route and as an additional alert to drivers to watch for
pedestrians. This allows pedestrian connectivity to flow throughout the community as uninterrupted as possible.
“Table Topping” or raising the crosswalk area may also
occur at key pedestrian route locations.
Figure 7.7b: Conceptual Midblock Crossing
At important “T” intersections, dropping the parking where one road “T’s” into another creates enhanced landscaped areas and focal points within the community, and slows
vehicular traffic. Where these occur along a streetside paseo, they become ideal locations for artwork or
monumentation that becomes part of the way-finding for the community. These bulb-outs may be a combination of
concrete, enhanced paving such as pavers and landscape.
Landscaping at intersections must meet sight distance
requirements.

7.8 Public Transit
Roseville Transit provides local fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride services within the City, as well as a fixedroute commuter service between Roseville and downtown Sacramento. The fixed-route local and commuter systems operate on regularly scheduled routes. The Dial-A-Ride system provides on-demand transit services to ADA paratransit customers and the general public. Roseville Transit users can connect to both Placer County Transit (PCT) and Sacramento Regional Transit (RT) at designated transfer points.
A proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route may extend from Sacramento Regional Transit’s Light Rail Station at Watt Avenue/I80 north along Watt Avenue. North of Baseline Road, Watt Avenue has been renamed to Santucci Boulevard as it extends through the Sierra Vista Specific Plan (SVSP). Santucci Boulevard is planned to continue north to an intersection with Blue Oaks Boulevard. The proposed BRT route would extend along Blue Oaks and then north within Westbrook Boulevard through the CSP into the ARSP. BRT service is anticipated along Westbrook Boulevard to Future Placer Parkway. Alternatively, BRT may use Roads B and D.
Bus turnouts and shelters shall be located as shown on Figure 7.8 and constructed in accordance with City Improvement Standards. The BRT stops will include bus shelters and other appurtenances such as ticket vending machines, bike parking and other amenities. Easements for BRT stops shall be provided to facilitate future construction and operations in accordance with standards established by the City of Roseville and/or regional operators of the BRT service. BRT stops may also be utilized as local fixedroute transit stops. Twenty five parking spaces within the commercial uses of Parcel AR-53 will be designated for park and ride users as shown on Figure 7.8.

7.9 Transportation System Management
Transportation System Management (TSM) measures are designed to reduce the number and length of home-to-work commute trips through actions such as ride-sharing, flexible work hours and support of public transportation. Any project site, common work location or employer with 10 or more employees is required to comply with the City of Roseville TSM ordinance and shall incorporate TSM measures to the degree required by the ordinance. Additionally, Major Common Work Locations (those with 50 or more employees) will be required to prepare a TSM Plan and Agreement to document their trip reduction efforts.
7.10 Vehicle Trip Reduction
The ARSP strives to create a truly walkable community. Walkable communities not only promote healthier lifestyles, but encourage residents to leave their vehicles at home and enjoy the environment they chose to live in. Elements within the ARSP that support a walkable bicycle friendly community include:
The streetside paseos that link most of the neighborhoods to the parks, school, and Village District.
Here, individual residential driveways are prohibited to minimize interruptions. The Crossing Park that fully extends the direct access to the activities at the Urban Park and Village District into the neighborhoods.
By centrally locating the elementary school, most homes are within a 10 minute walk via the streetside paseo or Crossing Park.
Most homes are within a five minute walk to a neighborhood park. The Village District, which is linked to the neighborhoods via the streetside paseo and Crossing Park, provides local services, entertainment, and employment opportunities.

The number of elementary school students generates the need for one elementary school in the ARSP area. One 9-acre elementary school (parcel AR-50) is planned in the Central District of the ARSP. The school is located south of Road D. It is anticipated the school will be a two-story urban school that supports the community character of an urban village. The location of the elementary school is central to most neighborhoods and thus a focal point for the community. Middle school and high school students will attend schools outside of the ARSP area, such as Cooley Middle School or Chilton Middle School. High School students will attend the Roseville Joint Union High School District (RJUHSD) high school planned in the West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP) area, on Hayden Parkway.
The elementary school site within the ARSP is reserved for the Roseville City School District. Facility planning and the sequencing of development of this site is to be determined by the District. The ARSP is required to enter into mutual benefit impact fee agreements and to fully mitigate school impacts in accordance with the ARSP Development Agreement and funding agreements with the applicable school districts.
8.4 Library
The City of Roseville operates a public library system that consists of three individual facilities. The City’s original main library is located in the downtown Roseville area, a branch library facility is located in Maidu Regional Park and the Martha Riley Community Library is located at Mahany Park which provides services to the western portion of the City. Public Facilities Fees will be required to ensure the increase in population created by the ARSP meets the one library per 40,000 service population standard.

As shown on Table 8.4, the ARSP satisfies the City’s open space and neighborhood parkland dedication requirements. The Citywide parkland dedication requirement will be satisfied using the City’s park in-lieu fee, pursuant to General Plan policy and the In-Lieu Park Fee Ordinance.
In addition to park and open space areas, the ARSP includes a comprehensive system of paseos.
Paseos are landscaped features with walkways and bike paths in an enhanced pedestrian environment.
The ARSP includes adequate open space to meet the General Plan open space parkland requirement.
Paseos are described in Chapter 7, Circulation and in the ARSP Design Guidelines (Appendix B).
C. Open Space
The ARSP contains four types of open space totaling approximately 155 156 acres. These types include open space preserve (109 acres), general open space – avoided area (10 acres), transition zone open space (25 26 acres), and paseos (11 acres).
Each type of open space has been designed to accommodate specific functions and activities, from very limited use to active recreation and infrastructure. The on-site open space Preserve will be permanently preserved to protect Waters of the U.S. and habitat for federally listed species. This protection will be provided by either a declaration of covenants and restrictions and/or a conservation easement to restrict access and activities within the preserve. The area would be managed in accordance with the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan (OSPOMP). General open space – avoided area also contains Waters of the U.S. and species habitat. While these areas will be avoided by the Project development, they may be impacted by the future Placer Parkway and therefore are not currently proposed for protection by a deed restriction and/or conservation easement. The ultimate management strategy for the General open space – avoided areas will be determined during future Placer Parkway project federal permitting process. During the interim period the avoided area would be managed as General Open Space in accordance with the City’s OSPOMP. Transition Zone open space consists of the parcels that boarder the open space Preserve and General open space – avoided areas. These parcels provide a buffer to the Preserve open space and will be utilized for activities such as slope grading, outfall/stormwater structures, bike trails, weed abatement activities, open space maintenance, and health and safety vehicle access. The Transition zone open space area will not be protected by conservation easement and all wetlands within this area will be permitted for fill. Examples of typical infrastructure elements within Transition Zone open space areas can be found in Figure 6.3 and 6.4 with additional details contained Appendix A, Development Standards. Paseos are linear parcels of open space that provide pedestrian trails and green space within development areas. Paseos will not be protected by conservation easement and all wetlands within this area will be permitted for direct fill (note:
a list of the parcels in each open space type is provided in Table 6.1).
The southern open space is planned for permanent preservation as open space Preserve. This includes open space Preserve parcels 92, AR-97 and AR-105 which are separated by the Westbrook Boulevard corridor, including the roadway and landscape corridor (which include AR-95 and 96). The southern open space Preserve will contribute to a much larger regional open space area when combined with open space at the Al Johnson Wildlife Area, open space parcels preserved within the Creekview Specific Plan (CSP) and West Roseville Specific Plan (WRSP). Management of open space preserve areas is discussed in Chapter 6, Resource Management.
D. Park and Open Space Concept Plans
The ARSP park and open space system is designed to provide linkages and recreational opportunities within proximity to all residents and employees. Park designs include reduced turf areas as water conservation considerations focus on active recreational uses. Park designs will increase the use of water conserving landscapes, utilize recycled water for irrigation and include water efficient irrigation systems and controls.

The primary focus of a neighborhood park is to provide recreational space within immediate walking distance to the neighborhood it serves for, shaded seating areas, play areas, picnic areas and other passive and active recreation. Neighborhood parks are central to the area intended to serve and link together by the paseo network.
The ARSP includes seven neighborhood park sites distributed throughout the Plan Area. These sites range in size from one acre to ten acres and include a variety of facilities to accommodate the local recreation needs of the community. Each neighborhood park is intended to create unique experiences and have individual character. Below is a figure that illustrates the park distribution within the ARSP (Figure 8.2; Park and Open Space Distribution) and walking distances from residences to each park in quarter-mile radii (Figure 8.3; Walking Distances to Parks).

The primary use at the park will be field sports which may include soccer, baseball and/or softball. Sports Fields may be lit. The park can accommodate various sized fields as well as a central concession and restroom building. As illustrated, promenades provide ample room for informal game viewing, formal bleacher set-up, and team staging areas.
Other amenities in the park could include a tot lot, half-court basketball courts, and multiple shade and picnic areas throughout the park. The park also includes on and off-street parking, to serve the intended uses and similar to parking provided at other active parks throughout Roseville.

UTILITIES PLAN
9 - 2 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022May 2021
9.1 Potable Water
The City of Roseville will provide potable water service (supply through wholesale water from the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA), and treatment, and conveyance to the ARSP. Water will be delivered to the site via the City’s existing backbone system through the Creekview Specific Plan (CSP) along Westbrook Boulevard.
A. Water Supply and Demand
The water demand for the ARSP is approximately 1,503 acre-feet per year (AFY). With full implementation of water conservation measures described in Section B, below, the ARSP’s overall water demand will be reduced by approximately 165 AFY. Water demand, after conservation measures, will be satisfied with a combination of potable and non-potable (recycled) water sources. Non-potable (recycled) water will be utilized for irrigation purposes with a semi-aggressive approach in both wet and dry years.
Section 9.2 of this document discusses the proposed recycled water system and recycled water use plans in more detail. To supplement water supply the ARSP includes provisions for one onsite aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) groundwater well on Parcel AR-58. The well will be capable of providing a minimum total supply capacity of 1,800 gallons per minute (gpm).
B. Water Conservation Measures
The ARSP includes significant water-saving measures aimed at reducing overall water demands for potable and recycled water to the extent feasible. The following water conservation measures will be implemented in the ARSP in an effort to meet the City’s water conservation goal:
Turf Reductions in Residential Areas
This measure involves limiting the amount of turf in the front yards of residential properties and using a higher percentage of low water use plant species in lieu of turf. Typically, about 75% of a total residential front yard is assumed to consist of landscaping, with the balance consisting of driveways, planters, or walkways. For the ARSP, limitations will be placed on the landscaped portion of each front yard, allowing up to 42% of the total landscaped area to be turf (instead of the typical 75%), with the remaining landscaped area comprised of low water use plant species. For the Roseville area, low water use plantings on average use approximately 65-75% less water than used on a typical turf lawn.
Turf Reductions in Non-Residential Areas (Parks, Paseos, and Landscape Corridors) This measure involves limiting the use of turf on non-residential parcels, with a focus on water efficiencies at parks, paseos, and landscape corridors. For these areas, landscape design will reduce the area of turf and increase the area of low water use plant species. To achieve the desired water conservation, the following criteria will be implemented:
ï Parks. It is assumed approximately 80% of a typical park’s square footage consists of turf. The ARSP parks will have a maximum aggregate turf area of 60%, with the remaining 20% area comprised of low water use plant species. Less than 60% turf is acceptable provided it is compatible with the amenities planned for the park.
ï Paseos and Landscape Corridors. It is assumed paseos and landscape corridors are typically comprised of 80% turf area. The ARSP paseos and landscape corridors will have a maximum of 60% turf area, with the remaining 20% of the area comprised of low water use plant species.
Smart Irrigation Controllers
Smart and centrally located irrigation controllers restrict irrigation to times and rates necessary to maintain landscaping. They account for changes in the demand for water, which varies with weather patterns and seasonal influences. In the ARSP, smart irrigation controllers will be required for residential, commercial, and quasi-public parcels subject to turf reduction measures, and centrally controlled irrigation controllers for larger commercial and publicly maintained parcels. It is anticipated that these controllers could result in approximately 20% total irrigation water demand reduction.
UTILITIES PLAN
9 - 3 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
Re-circulating Hot Water Systems
Re-circulating hot water systems feature a pump on a residential hot water line system which reduces time necessary to receive hot water at any hot water faucet. This type of system will be included on all residential units to generate additional water conservation. It is anticipated that these systems could result in approximately 1.5% total potable water demand reduction.
With full implementation of the water conservation measures outlined above and the recycled water system, as described in Section 9.2, the ARSP will reduce the potable water demand by approximately 437 AFY, resulting in a total potable water demand of approximately 1066 AFY.
C. Water Transmission System
Water will be supplied to the ARSP area via a 24-inch main line extended from the south property line from the proposed CSP area. Within the ARSP, water will be distributed through an infrastructure system that parallels the collector and arterial roadway systems. The transmission and distribution system will consist of 6-inch to 24-inch diameter mains. Connections with neighboring proposed and existing neighborhoods and specific plans will be provided at the south terminations of Westbrook Boulevard, and the eastern terminations of Road “B” and Road “D”. All water improvements will be constructed to the City’s standards using a phased approach.
Figure 9.1 also depicts the overall backbone water distribution system and points of connection.
Additionally, the ARSP includes provision for a groundwater well. The water distribution infrastructure will be designed to the City’s standards and constructed and installed over time to coincide with development entitlements, and would be designed to accommodate buildout of the ARSP.
Details regarding the water facilities are contained in the ARSP Water Master Plan and the ARSP Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on file with the City.

9.2 Recycled Water
The City’s recycled water system currently delivers approximately 3,000 AFY of recycled water to parks, street landscaping areas and golf courses within the City limits. The City has evaluated the ARSP as one of several Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) that will require additional recycled water.
The City will ultimately provide the ARSP with recycled water from the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGWWTP). The ARSP will use recycled water to irrigate landscaping at the proposed community pocket parks, sports fields, the proposed school parks/sports fields, the commercial and village center areas, as well as publicly landscaped areas such as the organic and traditional paseos and other landscaped medians. Recycled water will also be used to irrigate landscaping within multi-family residential parcels. The estimated annual recycled water demand in the ARSP is approximately 272 AFY.
Through implementation of water conservation measures described in Section 9.1B, above, this demand is reduced by approximately 50 AFY. The use of recycled water for irrigation purposes offsets potable water demand typically needed for irrigation.
Recycled water will be supplied to the ARSP via infrastructure within the West Roseville Specific Plan and the Creekview Specific Plan. In order to provide capacity to serve the ARSP’s demand that may exceed the City’s available committed supply, the ARSP will be required to provide storage facilities capable of storing recycled water demand during one peak day, which has been determined to be a 24-hour period in July. . The storage of recycled water for ARSP is planned to be located within an Infill Area adjacent to the City’s existing Roseville Energy Park just north of Phillip Road at the intersection with West Park Drive. This proposed facility would also serve the storage needs of the Creekview Specific Plan. The ARSP onsite backbone system of dedicated non-potable water lines ranging in size from 6 inches to 12 inches will be constructed running parallel to the collector and arterial roadway system, and is depicted in Figure 9.2.
The recycled water distribution infrastructure will be constructed and installed over time to coincide with development entitlements, and would be designed to accommodate buildout of the ARSP. All recycled water improvements will be constructed to the City’s standards using a phased approach. Specific details regarding the recycled water facilities and supplies, including technical analysis, are contained in the ARSP Recycled Water Study and the ARSP EIR on file with the City.
9.3 Wastewater / Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the City of Roseville. Wastewater generated within the ARSP will be treated at the City’s Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGWWTP) The PGWWTP is located west of Phillip Road and south of Blue Oaks Boulevard, within the WRSP. The ARSP is estimated to generate approximately 0.61 million gallons per day (mgd) average daily wastewater flow.
The backbone wastewater collection system is illustrated on Figure 9.3. Wastewater flows from the ARSP will be directed to the PGWWTP through the southern portion of the site, where it will connect with an existing transmission line to be provided by the proposed CSP. Infrastructure within the CSP area was planned and sized to accommodate flow from the ARSP. On-site sewer collection pipes will range in size from 6 inches to 24 inches. Two lift station facilities will also be required. One small lift station (located on Parcel AR-56) will be needed to pump wastewater under the proposed Placer Parkway alignment from the northwest property corner. The second, and larger, lift station (located on Parcel AR-57) will be needed in order to pump the wastewater from the ARSP to a connection point within the CSP. The wastewater collection infrastructure will be constructed and installed over time to coincide with development entitlements, and would be designed to accommodate buildout of the ARSP.
All sewer improvements will be consistent with the South Placer Regional Wastewater and Recycled Water Systems Evaluation and will be constructed to the City’s standards using a phased approach.
Details regarding the sanitary sewer system are contained in the ARSP Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and the ARSP EIR on file with the City.

9.4 Drainage & Flood Control
A. Existing Conditions
The ARSP is entirely contained within the Pleasant Grove Creek watershed, which is located within the larger Natomas Cross Canal watershed of northwestern Placer County and southeastern Sutter County.
The Pleasant Grove Creek watershed drains to the Pleasant Grove Canal, to the Natomas Cross Canal, and then to the Sacramento River.
Most of the ARSP drains to Pleasant Grove Creek by overland flow or through a few man-made agricultural channels.
University Creek, a tributary to the Pleasant Grove Creek, meanders westerly near the southern boundary of the ARSP, crossing both the southeast and southwest corners of the ARSP before and after passing through the Creekview Specific Plan (CSP) area (immediately south of the ARSP). An area around and including this tributary is covered by Zone A on the currently effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 06061C0400F dated June 8, 1998. The approximately four square mile University Creek drainage shed is relatively undeveloped. Rainfall within this drainage shed influences the peak flows of University Creek as it traverses through the Plan Area. The ARSP area is comprised of multiple drainage sheds that drain from the site in several directions, with the southern portion of the Plan Area draining directly into University Creek.
As a result of past farming practices, immediately downstream and to the west of the Plan Area, University Creek has been channelized and redirected to the south around agricultural (rice) fields before turning due west to its confluence with Pleasant Grove Creek. The property to the southwest of the project site is part of the City of Roseville’s flood control Retention Basin Project designed to mitigate downstream volumetric impacts resulting from development within the City as described in the City of Roseville Retention Basin Project final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) dated January 10, 2003. The Final EIR refers to University Creek near the southern boundary of the project site as “Northern Tributary Two.” The channeling of the natural creek system west of the Plan Area creates a bottleneck which restricts downstream conveyance of floodwaters resulting in an unnatural and expanded 100-year floodplain which results in raising water surface elevations higher than the historic floodplain conditions.
Further, existing County residents to the northwest and north have experienced flooding due to manmade alterations. The ARSP proposes to alleviate a portion of the existing off-site flooding by redirecting flows from the northern portion of the Plan Area that in the pre-project condition drain off the site to the north, to the south, and through the drainage system (Figure 9.4) with ultimate discharge into University Creek.
B. Proposed Site Grading
The project site will be graded such that the base building pad elevation will exceed the regulatory flood elevation by a minimum of two feet.
The project site will be generally graded from a high point in the northeast property corner to a low point in the southwest property corner, which generally follows the existing site topography. The major roadways will generally follow existing grades and connect with existing edge conditions at the south (Creekview Specific Plan), and at the north (Placer Parkway and West Sunset Boulevard.) C. Drainage System
The Drainage Master Plan (DMP) for the project describes and evaluates a drainage system that collects on-site storm water and conveys it to two discharge points. Storm water generated from the northerly 300 acres of the site is redirected southward within open channels and combined with stormwater generated from portions of the southern area of the site to discharge into University Creek at the southwest corner of the site. The remaining storm water generated from the eastern portion of the site will be directed to the second discharge location and into University Creek.
UTILITIES PLAN
9 - 9 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
The open channels within the plan are will be designed to convey 100-year flows with a minimum of 1- foot of free-board. A utility maintenance road will be constructed adjacent to the channels to provide future maintenance vehicle access and inspection. Ramps from the adjacent utility maintenance roads and into the bottom of the channels will be constructed to facilitate easy access into the channels. The bottom of the channels will be designed and constructed in a manner that will provide channel stability, maintenance vehicle stability, opportunity for infiltration, and vegetative growth that can be credited towards the overall water quality objectives. Maintenance costs for the channels will be assessed through the Community Facilities District for maintenance.
Peak flow rate increases resulting from the proposed development will be mitigated through such features that include vegetated treatment swales, and creation of additional conveyance with a created channel system located on the western boundary, and along the southern open space. Traditional permanent detention basins for peak stormwater flow-attenuation are not planned.
Onsite drainage improvements consist of a combination of conventional subsurface and surface drainage systems, construction of pipe conveyance systems and construction of culverts and bridges at roadway and trail crossings of creeks and tributaries. Where applicable, outfall structures will be extended past any planned bikeway alignments in the open space areas.
Prior to the collection and conveyance of the storm water into the drainage system, all storm water flows will be directed into Iow-impact-development (LID) and other storm water Best Management Practice (BMP) features throughout the site. The use of storm water LID’s and BMP’s is a requirement of the State Issued MS4 permit, further discussed below, which establishes the criteria that promotes improving the water quality discharges before entering the traditional underground storm drain network. The storm drain system will have a network of underground storm drainage pipes ranging in size from eight inches to 72 inches in diameter, as illustrated in Figure 9.4. The stormwater will then outfall either to a conventional outfall within open space parcel AR-96 (with a constructed swale to direct outfall flows to University Creek, or to one of the three open channels that converge into one discharge point that will ultimately discharge directly into University Creek near the southwestern corner of the ARSP. If detention basins are located on site they would be sized for hydromodification management of the development.
The City of Roseville Retention Basin project mitigates downstream volumetric impacts resulting from development projects constructed within the City. A drainage impact fee is assessed to all new development at the time of building permit issuance for the construction cost of the future facility. The retention facility is located on the City of Roseville’s Al Johnson Wildlife Area site, immediately southwest of the ARSP. Per the Retention Basin Final Environmental Impact Report dated January 10, 2003 the retention facility will mitigate for the hypothetical 8-day, 100-year flood event. Although the ARSP was not contemplated as a contributing land mass as part of the MOU area subject to the drainage impact fee and the mitigations provided by the retention facility at the time it was established, the City will annex the ARSP into the MOU and assess a drainage mitigation fee to the ARSP for its contribution towards the construction of the retention basin. Therefore, the facility will be used to mitigate the ARSP volumetric increase.
The location and sizes of the drainage facilities are based on the best available information and is subject to refinement during the subdivision map and improvement plan approvals. Drainage facilities will be designed and constructed in conformance with the City of Roseville Improvement Standards and other permit criteria applicable at the time of development.
Specific detail regarding the drainage system is contained in the ARSP Drainage Master Plan and ARSP EIR on file with the City.

9.5 Stormwater Quality
The ARSP provides a comprehensive plan for the management of urban runoff for flow control and water quality improvement. The integrated stormwater management system plan is reflected, in part, in specific design criteria contained in this section. The objectives of the stormwater management plan are intended to fulfill the requirements of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit, as issued by the State Water Resources Control Board, and to minimize the negative effects of urban stormwater runoff on the natural open space areas, including wetland areas and principal drainage corridors.
The ARSP design will be in accordance with permit criteria applicable at the time of development. The stormwater management plan provides the framework for stormwater treatment during two components of the development process. First, during the construction phase while infrastructure is being built to support the community, and, then during the post-construction phase which will be part of the improvements that make up the community and continue to protect the natural resources in perpetuity. Each phase of the development will have specific stormwater quality features integrated for the construction and postconstruction states, ensuring that water quality is maintained to agency standards even when the full development has not been built out.
A. Stormwater Management During Construction Activities The release of on-site stormwater runoff during construction activities is regulated by the State General Construction Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for all construction sites. The General Construction permit requires a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) address how stormwater from the construction site will be maintained and treated prior to being discharged from the site. The SWPPP is an evolving document which changes with the dynamics of the site development.
The use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) during the construction process will generally incorporate erosion controls and sediment controls. Erosion and sediment control BMPs include such things as applying straw mulch to disturbed areas, the use of fiber rolls and silt fences, sedimentation basins, drain inlet protection, stabilized construction accesses, and material management. The final sizing and selection of nonmechanical BMPs will consider requirements specific to the Pleasant Grove watershed and proposed development activities.
B. Post Construction Stormwater Management
Post construction stormwater management is intended to treat the urban runoff generated on-site in perpetuity. The BMP techniques within the site will reduce and/or eliminate the pollutants from the urban stormwater runoff and prevent the contamination of receiving waters. The ARSP will work with the permit criteria applicable at the time of development and in conformance with the City of Roseville Improvement Standards, the City’s Stormwater Quality Design Manual, the Placer County Flood Control Agency’s Stormwater Management Manual, and the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan, to design and address post construction stormwater treatment.
Post construction stormwater treatment is composed of three general elements: source control, runoff reduction (hydromodification) and treatment of runoff. All three elements will be used in the ARSP. The basic practice of source control is to minimize the potential for constituents to enter runoff at the source with the general premise of keeping clean water clean. LID and bio-retention measures are the main tool the ARSP will employ for runoff reduction and hydromodification attainment. Implementation of LID and bio-retention facilities includes construction of decentralized small-scale improvements designed to provide local infiltration and treatment opportunities that reduce the quantity of runoff entering the storm drain systems during the design rainfall events specified in the State Permit. LID and bio-retention will be implemented to offset runoff increases which occur with the development as a matter of the conversion of native ground surfaces to impervious cover. Additional treatment control BMPs may be located as end of the pipe treatment to provide further treatment of the stormwater before it enters into the natural creek system. The open channels will be designed to provide a certain level of treatment. Depending on the effectiveness of the above referenced strategies to reduce runoff of the design storm events, retention facilities will be incorporated to ensure that hydromodification objectives have been met.
UTILITIES PLAN
9 - 12 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022May 2021
C. Low Impact Development (LID) and Bio-retention
Low impact development (LID) and bio-retention is an approach to stormwater management emphasizing the use of small scale, natural, constructed and proprietary drainage features integrated throughout a project site to capture urban runoff and precipitation of the design storms. LID measures can slow, clean, infiltrate, and evaportranspire runoff, improving the quality and reducing the quantity of urban runoff entering the city storm drain systems. This is an integral runoff reduction strategy to achieve the hydromodification objectives of the permit. The added opportunities for infiltration offered by the use of LID can add water to local aquifers, increasing water reuse. It is a sustainable practice which benefits water quality protection, stream stability and can contribute to water supply.
The intent is to incorporate the systems of natural processes into a built environment and to mimic the natural environment in its capacity to absorb the storm water generated from the design storm events. In addition to traditional stormwater management, which collects and conveys stormwater runoff through storm drains, pipes, or other conveyances to a centralized stormwater facility, LID and bio-retention within the ARSP will take a different approach by using site design elements and stormwater management to minimize changes to the site’s predevelopment runoff rates and volumes.
Key principles of low impact development include:
ï Decentralize and manage urban runoff to integrate stormwater management throughout the watershed;
ï Preserve the ecosystem’s natural hydrological functions and cycles; ï Account for a site’s topographic features in its design; ï Reduce directly connected impervious surfaces to slow runoff and provide additional infiltration opportunities; and
ï Reduce impervious ground cover and maximize infiltration on-site.
As the ARSP develops, specific LID techniques, tools, and material, specified in construction documents, will control the amount of impervious surface, increase infiltration, and improve water quality by reducing runoff from the developed sites.
A number of LID elements may be implemented into development plans with ARSP to achieve an overall reduction in stormwater runoff. The selection and use of these elements may vary by development project, depending on the runoff reduction needed. The various LID options may include, but are not limited to, the following:
ï Disconnected roof drains;
ï Disconnected and separated pavement;
ï Bio-retention facilities, rain gardens, and bioswales; ï Tree Planting;
ï Grass swales and channels;
ï Curb cuts and vegetated filter strips;
ï Impervious surface reduction – permeable pavements and porous pavements; ï Stream Buffers;
ï Soil Amendments; or
ï Pollution prevention and good housekeeping practices.
An additional project design element within the open space areas will also provide benefits. The onsite open channel will provide additional floodplain storage capacity which will be factored into the project hydrology analysis. The channel will also provide LID and treatment potential including: added infiltration opportunities, evapo-transpiration opportunities, nutrient uptake, biological filtering, and stream buffers.
D. End of Pipe Stormwater Treatment Control
In addition to the implementation of the above-referenced LID and bio-retention measures, the storm drain system will be designed to provide additional protection of the natural environment and receiving water of Pleasant Grove Creek by providing nonmechanical end of pipe treatment techniques. This element adds to the treatment train and consists of final treatment elements such as grass treatment swales.
UTILITIES PLAN
9 - 13 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
January 2022 March 2020
Special consideration will be taken to capture, convey and release the urban stormwater to the creek system. The treatment and conveyance of storm runoff in and through the open spaces will be made part of the Corp of Engineers 404 permitting process. Standard practices include the use of headwall structures, directly at the outfall location, to stabilize and protect the outlet pipe, surrounding topography and aid in velocity attenuation while minimizing future maintenance costs.
A conveyance “grassy swale” consistent with the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan (OSPOMP) which directs stormwater from the pipe outlets to receiving waters while avoiding sensitive habitat will be used at each outfall. Depending on the size of and frequency of particular storm events, and the actual drainage area being conveyed, the conveyance swales will be armored with geosynthetics to minimize the potential for future erosion and rilling of the open space. Soft-armoring will provide opportunities to create grassy swales and additional wetland habitat to aide in stormwater filtration and infiltration. Based on the LIDs planned, the need for additional filtration units is not anticipated. However, additional structural BMPs can be added to the treatment train and end of pipe treatment if needed. These may include such devices as:
ï Installation of “fossil filter” or equivalent petroleum absorbing insert assemblies in the project drop inlets;
ï Trash screen vaults; or
ï Other structural BMPs as approved by the City.
The final selection of BMPs will consider requirements specific to the Pleasant Grove Creek watershed and proposed development flows. Other BMPs will involve prompt re-vegetation of disturbed areas and proper erosion protection per the NPDES permit during construction.
9.6 Dry Utilities
Electric, natural gas and telecommunications facilities will be extended in joint trenches and made available to all parcels in the ARSP. This will be accomplished by placing the joint trenches in public utility easements (PUEs) or road rights-of-way when appropriate as depicted in the Circulation Plan – Chapter 7. Reduced PUE’s may go through the Design Review for Residential Subdivision (DRRS) during small lot tentative map process and be approved by the City so that homes with front porches close to the sidewalk are encouraged in a Plan Area.
A. Electric Service
Roseville Electric, the City’s electric utility, will provide electric service to the ARSP. Roseville Electric operates the Roseville Energy Park (REP), a 160-megawatt natural gas-fired, electric power plant, which uses state-of-the-art equipment to locally generate approximately half of the City’s electricity needs. The Roseville Energy Park is located south of the ARSP. Additional electricity resources needed to serve the ARSP, including state and federal mandated renewable electricity resources, will be purchased from outside sources or generated by new Roseville-owned generating facilities. As required by state regulations, Roseville will use energy efficiency programs and initiatives to meet electricity demand, before acquiring new electricity sources.
Electric Energy Efficiency and Conservation
The ARSP includes implementation of cost-effective energy efficiency, load management, and renewable energy programs to meet electricity demand, before new electricity sources are acquired.
Peak Electric Demand and Distribution
Peak electric demand for electrical service is estimated to be 21 mW per year at full build out. Currently, an electric substation is planned to be constructed within the Creekview Specific Plan Area. This substation is expected to be approximately 0.9 to 1.0 acres.
Underground electrical distribution will be extended to the ARSP area through a 12 kV system to individual parcels in conjunction with roadway improvements or as phasing requirements dictate. Street lighting, signal power and other ancillary power facilities will be provided along all public street frontages
UTILITIES PLAN

as part of the overall roadway frontage improvements. All electric and street light facilities will be constructed to the City’s standards at the time of construction.
B. Natural Gas
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) will provide natural gas upon request and in accordance with the rules and tariffs of the California Public Utilities Commission. PG&E’s long-range plans provide for availability of gas service to accommodate increased demand. Service will be provided to the ARSP through extensions planned by the CSP. Delivery of gas service to individual projects in the ARSP will be reviewed by PG&E at the time of proposal.
C. Communication
The ARSP is within the service areas of AT&T, Comcast, and Wave Broadband. Together, these providers offer both voice and data communication services. Distribution lines to individual parcels will be extended from existing infrastructure adjacent to the ARSP in accordance with the infrastructure Phasing Plan for dry utilities. The providers will review delivery of telephone, cable television, and high-speed data line services to individual projects in the ARSP at the time of proposal.
D. Locations of Above Ground Utility Structures
As an Urban Village, development within the Plan Area will be more integrated without the separations created by subdivision walls. This makes coordination between buildings, landscaping, and the necessary infrastructure components even more critical. As the design framework and guidelines are established by this Specific Plan, guidelines for locations of above ground utility structures are also established. Refer to Section 11.17 for guidelines related to siting and screening of above grade structures.

9.7 Solid Waste
The City of Roseville will provide solid waste services to the ARSP. Solid waste will be collected and delivered to the Western Placer Waste Management Authority facility located north of the City at Athens Avenue and Fiddyment Road. The Authority owns a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) which receives, separates, processes, and markets recyclable materials removed from the waste stream. Residual waste is transferred to the Authority’s Western Regional Sanitary Landfill located on the same site.
At full buildout, the ARSP is anticipated to generate approximately 8,660 tons of solid waste annually. A solid waste recycling area is planned within the ARSP on AR-55. This site will provide residents with a location to off-load recyclable materials.

CHAPTER 10 –
IMPLEMENTATION &
ADMINISTRATION
10.1 Overview
Government Code Section 65451 requires that a Specific Plan include a program of implementation measures necessary to carry out its proposed land uses, infrastructure, development standards, and criteria. Implementation of the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) is to be administered by the City of Roseville and carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of several related planning and program documents. These include project-related and approved development agreements, phasing plans, management plans, a financing plan, and an environmental impact report, which augment the policies and regulations set forth in the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code. Additionally, implementation of the ARSP would be consistent with State and Federal permit conditions and the federal environmental review document. It is intended to result in the systematic and orderly development of the Plan Area. To achieve this intent, the Specific Plan includes a conceptual program for the phasing of infrastructure to support development, financing and construction of public improvements, review of individual development projects, transfer of residential units, and a process for Specific Plan amendments/minor modifications. These programs are summarized in this chapter, with details and specific requirements included in the above referenced documents.
Relationship to City Plans and Policies
A. General Plan
The City of Roseville General Plan serves as the long-term policy guide for the physical and economic development of the City. The City’s core values are the foundation of the General Plan and the underlying basis for its vision and direction. The ARSP implements the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan and augments these goals and policies by providing specific direction to reflect conditions unique to the Plan Area. At the time of Specific Plan approval, the City’s General Plan and incorporated documents were amended to reflect Amoruso Ranch’s land uses and development program. The ARSP is consistent with the City’s General Plan and incorporated documents as amended.
IMPLEMENTATION & ADMINISTRATION
10 - 2 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020January 2022
B. Municipal Code
The Roseville Municipal Code is one of the primary tools for implementing the General Plan. For new development areas, the Municipal Code’s key components are the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, and Tree Ordinance, which are used in tandem with this Specific Plan to implement the development program. In some instances, this Specific Plan modifies the permitted uses, development standards, or other regulations for some zoning districts within the Plan Area where unique development patterns are expected. In these cases, the zoning regulations provided in this Specific Plan (and attached Development Standards and Design Guidelines) supersede the City’s Zoning Ordinance. However, where the ARSP is silent, the Zoning Ordinance’s regulations will prevail.
10.2 Specific Plan Related Documents
A. Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified concurrent with the approval of the ARSP. The EIR, prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), examined the potential direct and indirect environmental effects associated with development of the ARSP and identified appropriate mitigation measures to reduce impacts determined to be significant. The EIR analyzed the ARSP at a project level, and serves as the base environmental document for purposes of evaluating subsequent Plan Area-related entitlements.
B. Development Agreement
The property owners of the ARSP have executed development agreements with the City of Roseville to vest the development rights of their property. The development agreements were approved by the City in accordance with applicable State and local codes, and as such, function as legal and binding contracts between the City of Roseville, the property owner, and their successors-in-interest. The development agreements outline the specific development rights, establish obligations for infrastructure improvements and land dedications, secure the timing and methods for financing improvements, and specifies other performance obligations for development of the Plan Area.
C. Development Standards & Design Guidelines
Concurrent with the approval of the ARSP, the Amoruso Ranch Development Standards and Design Guidelines (appendices to the Specific Plan) were approved by the City of Roseville. The Development Standards constitute the zoning regulations for the Plan Area, establishing its permitted uses and development regulations. In many cases the Amoruso Ranch Development Standards modify the City’s typical regulations in a manner to achieve a development pattern that would not be otherwise permitted by standard application of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, these standards are intended to be used in conjunction with the City’s Zoning Ordinance. For matters where the Development Standards are silent, the City’s Zoning Ordinance prevails.
Amoruso Ranch’s Design Guidelines work in tandem with the Specific Plan and Development Standards documents, and provide additional detail in the design, review, and approval of individual projects within the Plan Area. Elements addressed include site design, architecture, landscaping, streetscapes, entries, lighting, signage, and low impact development concepts. All development within the Plan Area is required to comply with the ARSP Development Standards and Design Guidelines.

March 2020January 2022
10.3 Phasing Plan for Public Facilities
The ARSP provides for a comprehensively planned infrastructure system with coordinated phasing and construction of facilities. Three infrastructure construction phases (Phases 1, 2, and 3) are anticipated as the ARSP builds out. The conceptual geographic boundaries of each phase are reflected on Figure 10.1, with anticipated residential unit and land use allocations by phase summarized in Table 10.1.
In general, the phasing plan has been structured to ensure that the improvements in each phase can support its respective development in compliance with City policies and standards, and that the development in each phase can support the costs of the required improvements.
Infrastructure phases identified in the phasing plan may be modified at the discretion of the Developer, in consultation with all affected City departments, subject to their approval and to criteria established in the Development Agreements for the project.
The infrastructure requirements for each phase of development include all on-site backbone infrastructure and off-site facilities necessary for the build out of each phase. These include roadways, sewer, water, recycled water, storm drainage, dry utility, paseos, schools, parks, and other facilities and improvements.
All in-tract sewer, storm drain, water, dry utilities, and recycled water (if applicable) will be installed as part of local project improvements. Furthermore the Development Agreements will have further limits that trigger infrastructure phasing requirements, both on-site and offsite.

10.4 Financing of Public Improvements
Construction of public improvements to serve Amoruso Ranch will be funded by a variety of mechanisms including establishment of one or more Community Facilities Districts (CFD’s), City Impact Fees, School Impact fees, developer financing, and other methods. A Financing Plan has been prepared for the project, and hereby incorporated by reference, which identifies the funding mechanisms that can be used to construct the Plan Area’s public facilities. These various financing mechanisms are summarized on Table
10.2 and are described in general terms below. For specific details on the funding strategy, please refer to the Amoruso Ranch Financing Plan, available at the City of Roseville Finance Department.

1 Landscape corridors and medians on roadways, neighborhood parks and related facilities, paseos, open space areas, bike and pedestrian paths and/or trails, detention facilities. 2 Police, Fire, Library, or general governmental services. Developer Financing – Direct developer/merchant builder financing may be used to contribute towards backbone improvements and facilities, shortfall financing, and for in-tract subdivision improvements. Community Facilities District – One or more Community Facilities Districts (CFD’s) may be established to help fund the construction and/or acquisition of backbone infrastructure and facilities that serve Amoruso Ranch. The 1982 Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act enables cities and other entities to establish a CFD to fund various facilities and services. The proceeds of the Mello-Roos special tax can be used for direct funding of facilities and/or to service debt. A separate CFD for Public Services will be established for maintenance of a variety of public facilities that provide special benefit to the ARSP. Such facilities may include landscape corridors and medians, open space preserves, paseos, bike paths, storm water treatment and detention facilities, and neighborhood parks. In addition, the ARSP shall either establish a separate Municipal Services CFD or annex into
IMPLEMENTATION & ADMINISTRATION
10 - 6 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020January 2022
the City’s existing CFD #3 to fund general fund services as provided in the ARSP Development Agreements.
City Impact Fees – The City of Roseville has adopted a set of development impact fees to finance capital improvements. The fee structure requires the payment of fees prior to issuance of a building permit. The City collects park fees, drainage fees, sewer fees, solid waste fees, water connection fees, traffic mitigation fees, public facilities fees, and the fire service construction tax. School Impact Fees – The school district for the Plan Area has established fees, in accordance with Section 17620 of the California Education Code, to be used to construct school facilities. Pursuant to Section 65995 of the California Government Code, these school impact fees will be collected by the school district prior to issuance of a building permit.
As noted, other financing mechanisms may be utilized, including creation of private districts or associations to fund maintenance of certain facilities within the ARSP. Specific financing requirements, improvement obligations, fees, reimbursements, land and easement dedications and conveyances, maintenance, and other financing and improvement related obligations are detailed in the development agreements for the Plan Area.
Turn-Key Parks
The neighborhood park system within the ARSP is intended to create a series of unique experiences across the community. The neighborhoods adjacent to these parks focus on each park as a memory point and way-finding within the neighborhood. Because they are such strong design elements within the neighborhoods, the timing of their construction is critical to the community’s success. Therefore, the Developer may elect to construct certain parks and turn them over to the City.
10.5 Subsequent Entitlements and Approvals
A. City Processing
Individual development projects within the ARSP are subject to review and approval of subsequent permits and entitlements by the City of Roseville (e.g., tentative subdivision maps, design review, conditional use permits, variances, and/or other permits). Application and processing requirements shall be in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance and other regulations, unless otherwise modified by this Specific Plan.
All subsequent development projects, public improvements, and other activities shall be consistent with this Specific Plan and accompanying Development Standards and Design Guidelines, the Specific Plan development agreements, all applicable City of Roseville policies, requirements, and standards and all State and Federal permit conditions, management plans and environmental review documents (CEQA and NEPA). In acting to approve a subsequent project or permit, the City may impose conditions that are reasonably necessary to ensure that the project is in compliance with the Specific Plan and all then applicable plans and regulations.
B. Environmental Review
Each subsequent development project shall be reviewed to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The ARSP project EIR, which was certified concurrent with the specific plan, serves as the base environmental document for subsequent entitlements within the Plan Area. Development applications will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis to determine consistency with the EIR.
In general, if it is determined that a subsequent project is consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the EIR, further environmental review may not be necessary. Section 65457(a) of the California Government Code and Section 15182(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines provide that no EIR or negative
IMPLEMENTATION & ADMINISTRATION
10 - 7 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020January 2022
declaration is required for any residential project undertaken in conformity with an adopted Specific Plan for which an EIR has been certified. If it is determined that a development application or City infrastructure, utility and/or facility improvement is inconsistent with the Specific Plan and/ or substantial evidence exists that supports the occurrence of any of the events set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, a determination will be made as to the appropriate subsequent environmental document. A mitigation monitoring program has been adopted with the EIR in accordance with Public Resources Code 21081.6 to ensure implementation of EIR mitigation measures.
C. Approvals from Other Agencies
Appropriate Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), state, and federal approvals and permits are required prior to any development activity within the Plan Area. Plan implementation will be carried out consistent with all applicable permit conditions and federal environmental review documents.
10.6 Amendments & Minor Modifications
Proposed changes to a specific plan may require approval of a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA). SPAs are processed in the same manner as the initial Specific Plan adoption, requiring review by the Planning Commission and action by the City Council.
It is understood that the Plan Area will build out over many years. However, it is anticipated that in some instances the ARSP may need to be amended. To provide a degree of flexibility in SPAs, the ARSP allows for administrative approval of minor revisions to the Specific Plan, including the development standards and design guidelines in Appendices A and B. The Development Services Director or designee, shall determine whether a proposed revision is minor and maintains the intent and design character of the specific plan, and may act upon a minor revision to the Specific Plan and appendices administratively, as specified below.
A minor revision may be processed and acted on administratively if determined by the Development Services Director or designee to be in substantial conformance with:
1. The overarching vision and community design principles intended for the ARSP, including applicable development standards and design guidelines;
2. The applicable Specific Plan development agreement(s);
3. Applicable state and federal permits and the City’s Open Space Preserve Overarching Management Plan (OSPOMP);
4. The City of Roseville General Plan; and,
5. The Specific Plan EIR.
Examples of minor revisions include, but are not limited to:
The addition of new or updated information that does not substantively change the Specific Plan. Minor adjustments to land use boundaries of residential, commercial, or park parcels, or to open space edges between developed and non-developed land, or to street alignments, where the general land use pattern is maintained.
Minor modifications to, and interpretations of, the development standards, as permitted by Section
19.74.020 of the Roseville Municipal Code for Administrative Variances, if it is determined that such changes are equal to or better than the original intent of the ARSP. Changes to the provision of public infrastructure and facilities that do not impact the level of service provided or affect the development capacity in the Plan Area. Modifications to the Design Guidelines, (such as revisions to design treatments, changes in specified plant materials, alterations of site concept plans, etc.), if it is determined that the design intent is maintained.
Modifications to the provisions for infrastructure and construction timing that do not change the ability to provide adequate infrastructure for the development.
IMPLEMENTATION & ADMINISTRATION
10 - 8 | AMORUSO SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020January 2022
Any proposed minor revision to the Specific Plan may, at the sole discretion of the Development Services Director or designee, be referred to the Planning Commission and City Council for action. Determinations and actions by the Development Services Director or designee may be appealed to the Planning Commission.
If the Development Services Director or designee determines that a proposed amendment does not meet the above criteria, a SPA shall be required.
10.7 Minor Residential Unit Transfers
The large lot parcels on the ARSP land use plan are assigned a residential dwelling unit allocation, with associated gross land use density. These assignments were made at the time of Specific Plan approval based on an assessment of the constraints and opportunities of each large-lot parcel and anticipated long-term demand for various housing types. As individual residential small-lot parcel maps are processed over time, a more detailed assessment of site, market, and other conditions will occur. It is anticipated that this process may result in the need to adjust (reduce or increase) the number of units assigned to some large-lot residential parcels.
This Specific Plan includes a provision that allows the City to approve minor residential density adjustments and permit the transfer of residential units between large lot parcels. The Development Services Director or designee may administratively approve a residential unit transfer/density adjustment between any Specific Plan large lot parcels provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
1. The transfer and receiving parcels are located within the ARSP and are subject to a development agreement;
2. The transfer of units does not result in a change to the land use designation, specifically, the transfer does not: (a) reduce the number of units from the transfer parcel below the minimum number of units allowed by the applicable land use designation; or (b) increase the number of units to the receiving parcel above the maximum number of units allowed by the applicable land use designation;
3. The transfer of units does not result in increased impacts beyond those identified in the Specific Plan EIR and does not preclude the ability of the parcels to conform to the applicable standards or regulations contained in this Specific Plan and related Development Standards and Design Guidelines;
4. The transfer of units does not adversely impact planned infrastructure, roadways, schools, or other public facilities, or fee programs and assessment districts;
5. The cumulative increase or decrease in units resulting from the adjustment does not change the unit allocation by more than 20 percent of the units to either the transfer or receiving parcel, as established at the time of the original approval of the Specific Plan;
6. HDR units designated as affordable units may be transferred administratively until such time that they are encumbered by an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement (or other form as approved by the City); and
7. For HDR parcels, unit transfers may be approved between HDR parcels administratively, provided the resulting density of either parcel does not fall below 25 units per acre.
Minor density adjustments, if consistent with the above criteria, are contemplated by and consistent with the intent of this Specific Plan and the ARSP EIR and will not require an amendment to the Specific Plan, Development Agreements, or the City’s General Plan.
To request a residential unit transfer, the owner or owners of both the transfer and receiving parcels shall submit a complete Administrative Permit application to the Development Services Director or designee that (a) identifies the affected parcels; (b) designates the number of units being transferred; (c) provides other documentation as required by Development Services Director or designee to determine compliance with the above unit transfer criteria; and (d) includes a revised Specific Plan Table 4.1, Plan Area Land Use Summary and Table 4.2, Land Use, Zoning, and Acreage by Parcel, reflecting the adjusted unit counts and densities. The revised table will be the official record tracking unit allocations to each large lot

residential parcel (this information shall be submitted per the City’s Electronic Digital Submittal requirements).
If the Development Services Director or designee determines that the residential unit transfer is not consistent with the above criteria, the residential unit transfer may be denied or may be referred or appealed to the Planning Commission for action. Any determination of consistency may, at the discretion of the Development Services Director or designee, be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review.
The applicant may request density adjustments that do not comply with the above criteria. Such requests shall require an amendment to the ARSP through a SPA entitlement.
All unused units must be transferred prior to the City’s approval of the last small lot final map or Design Review for Residential Subdivision Permit for any residential large lot parcel within the Plan Area. Any units assigned to a large lot parcel that are not used by a tentative map/Design Review for Residential Subdivision Permit or are not approved for transfer, shall revert to the City unit pool and landowners shall have no subsequent claim to such units.

Fencing Restrictions
Open fences are intended to provide a visually transparent barrier at developed edges adjacent to open space parcel and include materials such as wrought iron and tubular steel. Depending on interface, open fencing may be used between open space areas and the rear and side property line of residential parcels along a street adjacent to open space, or along pedestrian pathways at the edges of open space parcels.
Open fences may also be used to separate different functions within landscape corridors (for example, to restrict access of dirt bikes and motorized vehicles) and at other miscellaneous locations within the Plan Area. Open fencing is the preferred fencing type adjacent to open space where a single-loaded street is not located adjacent to open space. Within residential subdivisions abutting open space fencing shall visually open, even if backing onto open space to maintain views.

A.3 Village District Special Area
A. Introduction
As described in Chapter 3, the Village District is the heart and primary focal point of the ARSP. Made up of parcels AR-51 and AR-52, the Village District is envisioned to be anchored by retail oriented to a Main Street. Higher density row townhomes and mixed-use residential is also anticipated within the Village District.
B. Urban Form
The Village District is organized by a Main Street. It is anticipated that two “cross streets” will cross the Main Street, allowing for access to the parking areas behind the buildings. Off-street parking areas are not permitted directly fronting on the Main Street. These cross streets begin to establish pedestrian scaled blocks. It is intended for one of the cross streets to occur where the Main Street transitions to the Main Street Promenade. Street sections are provided in Chapter 7 Circulation. In addition to the angled parking shown for the Main Street, parallel or a combination of parallel and angled are acceptable parking configurations.
A goal of the ARSP is to create a focal point visible from Westbrook Boulevard, to draw passersby into the Main Street. This may be accomplished by creating a small plaza for social gatherings/events. As a focal point, some sort of vertical element is required. This requirement may be fulfilled by a sculpture, fountain, specimen tree, architectural tower, or any number of other vertical elements. Shared parking areas occur behind the Main Street buildings and do not front directly on the Main Street.

January 2022March 2020
C. Permitted Uses
As the focus of the community, the Village District is intended to create a very active environment. To that end, this Specific Plan modifies the City of Roseville Zoning Code by the following:
Live/Work Residential Units:
Live/Work Residential Units are permitted within the Village District. While not required, they should have ground floor space with larger windows such as storefront to express their use. Signage for commercial use is permitted and must meet the General and Commercial Mixed-Use Guidelines in Appendix B. Businesses within Live/Work units are allowed direct client contact and on premise sales. Businesses requiring commercial exhaust equipment or grease interceptors are prohibited. Open Air Vending and Food Trucks:
The ARSP promotes Open Air Vending and Food Trucks in the Village District. Open Air Vending may occur along the Main Street, the Main Street Promenade, or within the parking areas behind the Main Street buildings. They may occur individually or in groupings, consistent with the City of Roseville’s Zoning Ordinance Section 19.50 (excluding Item B of Section 19.50.030). Food trucks are not regulated by the City of Roseville.
In an effort to promote food trucks and open air vending, they may be allowed on a temporary basis in the parking lot areas behind the Main Street buildings or in events when the Main Street is closed to thru-traffic.
Outdoor Restaurant Seating:
Outdoor restaurant seating is permitted within the Village District. Outdoor restaurant seating is permitted within the sidewalk area as long as a 6-8 foot wide clear pedestrian zone is maintained or on private streets.
Live Music:
Live music that is non-amplified (acoustic) and singing is permitted in restaurants, cafes, retail shops, and outdoor plaza areas within the Village District during all hours of operation, consistent with the Roseville Noise Ordinance. This excludes “Nightclubs” as defined by Zoning Ordinance Section19.08.090(T) which would require compliance with Zoning Code requirements. Nightclubs:
Nightclub establishments located within the Village District are permitted to operate by obtaining the appropriate permits from the Planning Division and Police Department.
D. Community Commercial - Village District (CC-VC) Development Standards The City of Roseville Zoning Ordinance and the Community Design Guidelines in conjunction with the appropriate Building Codes shall apply. The following Development Standards shall supersede conflicting City Standards:
In order to create an urban character, buildings facing the Main Street and Main Street Promenade are not required to increase setbacks for levels above the ground floor. As an integrated urban village, masonry walls are not required between the commercial/retail uses within the Village District or adjacent to it. Masonry walls between the Main Street and Main Street Promenade uses and the surrounding residential uses are prohibited. No landscaped setback is required along the Main Street or Main Street Promenade. A wide variety of sign type and character is encouraged. Sidewalk areas will contain trees in grates and other landscape planter areas as well as street furnishings that may include items such as trash receptacles, benches, planters, bike racks, seating,

newsstands and community art and monumentation. A 6-8 foot wide pedestrian zone will be maintained at all sidewalks. The final layout of landscaping and street furniture will be part of a development proposal.
Parapets shall screen rooftop mechanical or solar energy equipment from ground level view (any public right of way).
E. Shared Parking
As an urban environment, the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan has been designed to encourage residents to utilize the extensive pedestrian and bicycle network to access the amenities and services, provided in the Village District. This can create a decrease in the automobile traffic in the Village District that would be generated by the residents. This Specific Plan anticipates a reduction in the need for overall parking required for the non-residential uses within the Village District. Parking within the Village District shall be shared by all of the commercial/retail uses, as well as the required residential guest parking. A shared parking plan will be reviewed as part of the project level approval process to ensure adequate parking is available and that parking will not overflow into the adjacent residential areas. The shared parking plan for the Village District shall follow the Downtown Code requirements.
F. Residential Development Standards
Residential units and live/work units will conform to the City of Roseville’s Residential Zone General Development Standards for RS Zoning. Where mixed-use residential units occur above commercial/retail uses, building setbacks shall be governed by the ground floor commercial uses.

APPENDIX B –
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B.1 Purpose and Intent
These Design Guidelines are an appendix to the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) and supplement the City of Roseville Community Design Guidelines. They are intended to describe the unique visual character of the Amoruso Ranch community.
The Guidelines in this Chapter should be used in conjunction with applicable development standards established in Appendix A. Any proposed deviations from the standards outlined in Appendices A and B would be processed through the City’s Design Review processes (DRRS Design Review for Residential Subdivision for residential projects or Design Review Permit for commercial and multi-family applications), as well as the various regulations and policy guidance provided throughout the Specific Plan. These elements are to be considered by City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council in their review of individual development projects.
The Guidelines are intended to encourage quality and creativity for individual development projects in ARSP. They are not to be applied as strict standards recognizing there are several design options which can achieve the desired intent. In addition, graphics, photos, and other imagery are used to help illustrate the successful application of guidelines and do not dictate specific styles or architectural character.
Through these guidelines, the intent is to allow the community, commercial, neighborhood design elements that respond to market conditions, site constraints and opportunities, and other factors.
B.2 Relationship to Other City Documents
Development within the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan area will comply with the City of Roseville’s Community Design Guidelines. The guidelines in this Appendix are specific to the ARSP and seek to augment the City’s Design Guidelines and Sign Ordinance. In instances where the Specific Plan is silent, the Zoning Ordinance, Sign Ordinance, and Community Design Guidelines will prevail. The standards and guidelines applicable to the ARSP, unless expressly called out in the ARSP Design Guidelines, are
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 2 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN

set forth in the following documents, which should be referenced in the design of all uses in the Plan Area:
Roseville Municipal Code- Title 19 Zoning Ordinance
City of Roseville Community Design Guidelines
Roseville Sign Ordinance
Roseville Municipal Code – Title 24 Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance Roseville Design and Construction Standards
Roseville Subdivision Ordinance
Stormwater Quality Design Manual
Modification to ARSP Guidelines
These Design Guidelines are intended to help direct the design of ARSP’s community design elements.
It is expected the Plan Area will build out over several years, and conditions may change. The City recognizes the need for flexibility in the implementation of these Guidelines and new conditions affecting the appropriateness of some of the Guidelines may arise. The Specific Plan provides for the administrative approval of minor modifications to these Design Guidelines in Section 10.6. For administrative approval of minor modifications, requested deviations must be determined to be consistent with the spirit and intent of the design guidelines as well as the City of Roseville Zoning Ordinance and Community Design Guidelines.
B.3 Community Form
While the ARSP allows for flexibility in the physical development of the community over time, there are two key elements that form the framework of the plan; Paseos and the park system they connect to. The streetside paseo loop links the central neighborhoods together and to various amenities in the Plan Area.
Its intent is to provide a pedestrian/bicycle loop for easy off-street access between neighborhoods, the school and the Village District.
Figure B.1: Streetside Paseo Loop

The second important feature is the alignment of AR-64, an east west linear park. The park provides a strong visual and physical connection between the park of the western edge of the Property AR-61 to the urban core of the project at AR-66, AR-51 and AR-52.
The western edge of the park is bordered by pedestrian oriented streets that extend the pedestrian network into the community. Streets with 10 foot sidewalks connect the western edge of the park to the parks (AR-61, AR-63) along the western and the southern boundary of ARSP. These same enhanced landscape corridors and wider sidewalks provided a strong north, south pedestrian connection between the school site, east west linear park and, and neighborhood park (Parcel AR-63). This strong axial geometry creates identifiable focal points and organizing elements within the Plan Area.

B.4 Architectural Character
The Design Guidelines illustrate the desired character of the built environment by addressing site, building, and landscape design elements for both residential and non-residential projects. They are intended to guide development towards a mixed-use community with a distinctive sense of place and a consistent quality, yet allow for diversity and individual neighborhood character.
The Design Guidelines are provided as a way to achieve a compatible blend of architectural styles in combination with thoughtfully designed public spaces that will distinguish Amoruso Ranch from other areas within the City. The Guidelines are intended to be applied to all aspects of the community, based on the applicable land use, location, and site conditions.
The intended architectural character for the ARSP area draws from the region’s agrarian roots. Buildings should draw upon simple form-based architecture without heavy orientation. A number of architectural images are included for reference. This is not to narrowly focus architectural character to one style or a limited number of styles, but to establish an overall character to the community. It is intended that variation will occur, particularly over time as the community is developed, yet a general character is maintained. The imagery included in the ARSP are not exclusive of other architecture styles but are included here to provide a design philosophy that will evolve over time.
B.5 Residential Design Guidelines
Residential Architectural Character
Architectural styles that inform the general residential character throughout Amoruso Ranch include:
Agrarian Modern
Influenced strongly by the homes of pre-railroad America, the Agrarian Modern style should rely on simple form based architecture with strong gable roof lines and inviting and useable front porches.
These homes should not be overly adorned with decoration and attention should be paid to appropriately proportioned fenestration patterns that provide a specific rhythm to the façade of the building. Agrarian Modern style homes should be clean, crisp, more contemporary interpretations of the traditional style.
Typical architectural elements include:
Simple plans;
Simple gable roofs with roof pitches of 6:12 or greater and with minimal gable end overhang; Siding materials including lap, board and batten, corrugated metal, and light dash or smooth finish stucco or a combination;
Usable porches with simple door and window detailing; and Rich color scheme.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 6 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Agrarian Traditional
Drawing from the Queen Anne and Folk Victorian homes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Agrarian Traditional style homes should also be simple in massing form, typically with a predominant gable roof form to the front and a partial or full-width front porch. These homes will have appropriate decorative detailing that adds to the overall refinement of the architecture without detracting from it. Agrarian Traditional style homes should be familiar, welcoming residences.
Typical Architectural elements include:
Gable roof forms with pitch breaks at porches;
Lap and board and batten siding, and may be combined with light dash stucco; Useable porches with simple yet decorative columns and railings; and White or light paint colors or rich earth tones accented with white or a contrasting accent color. Craftsman
The Craftsman style was inspired by the English Arts & Crafts movement of the late 1800s. It became the dominant style for smaller houses built throughout the country during the period from about 1905 until the early 1920’s. The Craftsman style originated in California, though it was quickly spread throughout the country by pattern books and popular magazines.
Typical architectural elements include:
Deep front porches with heavy square or tapered columns; Broad overhangs with exposed and shaped rafter tails; Multi-pane windows; layered wood trim at windows and doors; Stone or brick accents, particularly at porches and columns;
Mix of siding materials such as lap side, board and batten, and light dash stucco; and Mix of accent materials.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 7 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Monterey
The Monterey style is a combination of the original Spanish Colonial adobe construction methods with the basic two-story New England colonial building. Prior to this innovation in Monterey, all Spanish Colonial buildings were of single-story construction. First built by Thomas Larkin in 1835, this style introduced two-story construction and shingle roofs to California. This Monterey style and its singlestory counterpart eventually had a major influence of the development of modern architecture in the 1930’s.
Typical architectural elements include:
Asymmetrical one and two-story massing;
Covered balconies at the second level with dark colored wood detailing; Stucco exterior;
Shutters; and
Whites and light colors with rich contrasting accents.
In addition to the architectural styles and design standards noted above, all residential subdivisions in the ARSP are subject to the standards contained in the City’s Subdivision Ordinance and for compact residential subdivisions, the City’s Community Design Guidelines. Furthermore, given the extensive residential interface between projects, several additional architectural design considerations must be employed. To this end, the following criteria shall be employed when reviewing the home designs and street presentation of each residential subdivision.
Massing and Articulation
The collective streetscape is important, as it effectively becomes a shared amenity for all residents and visitors. To avoid bland homogenous neighborhoods and to ensure that the streetscape maintains a level of interest and variety, the following guidelines shall be applied:
Incorporate a variety of compatible architectural styles within a neighborhood. Smaller enclaves of homes may utilize a single architectural style to create a distinct neighborhood statement.
Unvarying repetitive facades that present a monolithic development should be avoided. Building forms should be appropriate to their style.
Enhanced articulation and/or added architectural features shall be reflected in the building elevations facing streets, parks or other greenways in order to maximize visual impact to the user and minimize boxy structures.
Provide a variety of both single and multi-story elements within multi-story home designs. Porches, entries, balconies or outdoor rooms are encouraged for homes that face public streets. As appropriate to the architectural style, add visual interest to wall planes by incorporating an array of architectural elements such as bay windows, dormers, balconies, window canopies, window awnings, etc.
Provide additional articulation and variety to elements by changing materials, details, and/or color.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 8 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
To meet the design standard for enhanced elevations (front, sides and rear) where they are visible from the street, pathways or public and/or private open space, consider utilizing elements such as changes in building massing, roofline variation and window treatments. Porch and entry features should primarily be one-story elements. However, porches may also be incorporated into two-story vertical elements to break up the building mass facing the street or to provide visual interest to the streetscape consistent with the architectural style of the residence. Multi-unit buildings should incorporate smaller-scale architectural forms that are associated with its architectural style to visually reduce the height and scale of the building and emphasize the definition of individual units.
Incorporate relief, texture and color in façades that enhance the pedestrian experience on the street that is consistent with the chosen architectural style for the unit. Varied building heights for multi-unit buildings are encouraged, both to provide visual interest and give the appearance of a collection of smaller structures. Larger multi-unit buildings should respond to adjacent lower density residential development with sensitive transitions in scale and massing.
Expression of individual units within row town homes is encouraged. Functional and usable outdoor porches, patios, balconies, courtyards, or other areas for the use of building residents are encouraged for multi-unit buildings.
Simple massing with exposed structural
detailing is encouraged.
Front porches break up elevation mass
and provide outdoor rooms.
Gables and bays articulate building
mass.
Porches and detailing wrap corners. Porches create outdoor rooms. Homes raised above sidewalk level are encouraged.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 9 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Windows and Doors
Windows and doors will naturally vary with the incorporation of a variety of architectural elevation styles. Entries should be given special attention as a whole system including door, side windows and porches.
Entries should be inviting from the street with adequate weather protection. Windows should be appropriate to the building’s architectural style and combined and arranged to establish clear and rhythmic patterns as appropriate for both the building’s architectural style and scale.
On all elevations, openings should be trimmed and articulated with an appropriate head, sill and jamb detail.
If used, shutters should be appropriate to the architectural style, sized to match their window and at a minimum, lend the appearance of functionality.
Window grids, if appropriate to the architectural style and used on the front elevation, should be used on all elevations that are visible from streets, open space, or other common areas. Though consistency of window use is generally desirable, windows may be provided in various shapes and sizes provided they are appropriate to the building’s architectural style or as accents. Window placement should minimize the violation of a neighbor’s indoor privacy. To provide visual interest and avoid an identical appearance, garage doors should incorporate some architectural detailing, such as patterned garage doors with window panels and painted trim, that is consistent with the overall architectural design.
Garage doors should not be flush with the front wall plane.
Entries including door, windows and
porch, should be given special
attention.
Expression of individual units within row
town homes is encouraged.
Detailing is appropriate to style of
architecture.
Variety in windows can provide interest. Brightly painted trim can add a playful element to the elevation.
Variety of detailing at roofline adds
interest.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 10 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Entries to Multi-Unit Buildings
All entries for main buildings and for individual units should be pedestrian-scaled. Courtyard doors, gates, or other portals used at building entries such as for stacked flats or garden apartment buildings should be attractively designed as an important architectural feature of the building or development.
Main building entries (i.e. those serving multiple units) should be differentiated from individual streetlevel unit entries with special detailing, awnings, canopies, or multi-story forms. Individual ground level unit entries should have a strong relationship to a fronting street, internal walkway, or courtyard as appropriate to the overall siting concept and housing type. To the extent appropriate to the architectural style, all ground level private dwelling unit entries particularly those fronting a public street should incorporate a porch element or recessed entryway. Each dwelling unit’s entry should be emphasized and may be differentiated through architectural detailing and elements such as porches, stoops, or roof canopies. Where topography allows, street entries to row town homes should be elevated with raised porches or stoops to a height of at least three steps above the public sidewalk. Porches or stoops may be paired and share a single set of stairs.
Detailing, Materials and Colors
A complimentary variety of materials used on façades from home to home and within a single home creates a more diverse and interesting neighborhood. Creative and thoughtful use of color can be a very simple yet effective tool for creating visual diversity. Together, variety in color and materials can have a significant and positive impact on the overall appearance of a neighborhood. Signature or custom detailing should re-enforce and support the neighborhood character. Details and materials should be appropriate to the style the building is expressing. “Appliqué” of details or materials on inappropriate building forms should be avoided (i.e. English half-timbering on a ranch style home with a 4:12 roof pitch).
Gutters, downspouts and rainwater leader heads should be integrated into the roof/wall detailing and designed as part of the trim. Chain drains are acceptable. Materials should be incorporated such that they do not appear to be merely surface applications but as an integral component of the architectural style.
Natural and natural appearing materials should be used as details to complement the selected architectural style such as wood, stone, brick, iron and copper. Materials should be attractive, durable, sustainable, low maintenance, and appropriate to the character of the neighborhood. To the extent possible, materials should also be of local origin. When not used uniformly about a house, accent materials such as brick and stone used on street facing elevations should be returned to a logical point of termination such as an inside corner, on the adjacent side elevation.
Color should be used as an important design element in a building’s appearance. Garish and incompatible colors should be avoided. Appropriate use of more than one predominant paint color is encouraged. Compatible accent colors are encouraged to enhance important building elements.
Enhanced main entry Individual unit entries have strong relationship to the street

DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 11 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
On an individual building, color variety should relate to changes of building forms and materials, such as body, accent and trim.
Use of accent colors to emphasize the building’s details such as window sash, mullions, and trims is strongly encouraged when appropriate to an architectural style.
Roofs
A variety of roof plans and pitches is desired, as roof forms and their materials have a significant impact on the impression of variety within a neighborhood.
Roofing materials should be appropriate to their related style and pitch. Roofs over one-story elements, such as those over porches or bays, provide additional articulation of the massing of larger two-story residences and are strongly encouraged. Variation in ridgeline heights and alignments should be incorporated in order to create visual interest. Flat or very shallow sloped roofs should be appropriate to their architectural style. Built-up or roll roofing and similar appearing materials that are predominantly used on flat roofs are only permitted if they are not visible from the street or other public area. Roof penetrations for vents should be consolidated and located on the rear side of roof ridges or a portion of the roof not visible from a public street, park or common green, whenever possible.
Masonry termination. Chain drain.
Color is an important design element. A variety of roof forms adds interest to a neighborhood.
Adding a variety of material creates a
diverse neighborhood.

B.6 Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) District - Village District The Village District is an area allowing for the uses, including but not limited to, retail, office, visitor service, recreation, and some residential. It is anticipated that the Village District may contain a small grocer, neighborhood serving retail uses such as a dry cleaner, hair salon, specialty retail and restaurant uses. This blending of uses creates energy and reinforces the urban character of the community.
As the “heart” of this community, the Main Street creates the hub of activity and focus for the overall project area. It presents the public face to the community at large, and the quality of design is important to the perception of the community. Site design, architecture and landscaping should create a village atmosphere where people are comfortable to mix, mingle and spend time. The following site design and architectural design guidelines shall apply.
Site Design
The goal of the Village District is to create an intimate shopping experience for residents within the Plan Area as well as the greater Roseville community. The Main Street creates a true urban gathering place where retail shops and restaurants can open their doors to the sidewalks and invite people inside. The Main Street connects Westbrook Boulevard through the retail area and is intended to intrigue and invite a passerby along Westbrook Boulevard to turn in and spend some time within the Village District.
Edges between adjacent land uses should appear seamless. As an urban village, there should be no walls between the commercial uses in the Village District and adjacent residential neighborhoods with the exception of those required for screening of mechanical trash or loading facilities.
Create strong pedestrian links to the other land use areas.
The Main Street forms the backbone and focal point of the Village District. The Main Street should evoke a low speed urban character where cars and bicycles share the road. The Main Street cross section should be flexible enough to allow for diagonal or parallel parking, or a combination of both, with neck-downs at pedestrian crossing points. Parking lots may be accessible from, but should not front onto Main Street. Drive-through facilities should not be visible or accessed from the Main Street. Significant intersections should be highlighted with bollards, special paving, accent trees and opportunities for other monumentation such as art pieces or way-finding elements.
Strong, simple forms. Architectural Character.

Parking areas should create an environment where pedestrians feel comfortable. Pedestrian routes across parking areas should be highlighted by special paving, accent landscaping, bollards, or other measures as appropriate to the overall urban character. Pedestrian scaled lighting fixtures should be provided. Trellis, awnings, and other sun protection devices are encouraged. Loading and services areas should be screened and not visible from public streets or adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Buildings, parking, and service areas should be oriented to minimize impacts to residential uses without the use of walls.
Create a village environment framed by storefronts, awnings, and landscaping with an atmosphere where people are comfortable walking and spending time.
Provide for a mix of sizes of businesses that creates a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Outdoor dining is encouraged. Sidewalks should be scaled to accommodate seating while still leaving a minimum path of travel required by the building code.
To enhance the pedestrian experience, no private driveways are accessed from roads surrounding the Urban Park.

Plazas and other outdoor seating areas should be provided to create gathering places for residents and visitors in order to enhance a village atmosphere.
Focal points should be created with features such as fountains, outdoor performance areas, or opportunities for art pieces.
A generous amount of outdoor seating should be provided and should include both sunny and sheltered areas.
Both hard surface and planted areas should be incorporated into the design. Colored, decorative paving patterns should be used at special focal points.
Street Furnishings
The sidewalks and pedestrian promenades are an important feature of the Village District environment.
These areas should be furnished with enriched materials and furnishings that create a comfortable, convenient, and entertaining experience. With the exception of features created as art pieces, the furnishings should be selected from a similar family of style, color, and finish to create a refined and uncluttered appearance.
Create sidewalks that are scaled to accommodate cafe style seating and adequate landscaped areas. Seating areas should be created using benches, tables and chairs, seat walls, and raised planters. Newspaper racks should be of one cohesive design and integrated into the landscape design. Bicycle parking should be integrated into the landscape design and located to provide convenience in a safe, secure manner.
Bollards may be placed to provide separation between auto and pedestrian crossings. Trash and ash receptacles should be placed at convenient locations to help keep those areas clean. Privately owned and maintained light standards should accept flower baskets or banners.
Art pieces as focal points. Ample sidewalks for café seating.
Outdoor dining at plaza. Decorative elements such as flower baskets are encouraged.

Architecture
The goal of the Village District architecture is to create a character that is distinctive and memorable. The architecture should have a strong character, yet allow for variation and diversity in how that character is expressed.
Building upon the architectural character established by the residential styles, the commercial buildings within Amoruso Ranch Village District should reflect Agrarian roots, but with a contemporary interpretation. This aesthetic is expressed by strong, simple forms and detailing that is more industrial than formal.
Appropriate building materials include smooth or hard-troweled stucco, brick, pre-cast cementitious panels or stone and accented by steel, tile, heavy timber or other appropriate detailing. Buildings along the Main Street should have ground floors that are predominantly storefront glazing. However, the ground floor character should support upper level architecture. Heavy stucco textures are discouraged.
Public street facing facades of all buildings should have the same level of articulation and quality of details and materials as the front of the building.
Long expanses of blank walls are discouraged, where they are unavoidable they should be articulated and softened with three-dimensional details, planters, vines, and other landscaping. A composition of distinct but related forms should be used. Loading and service areas should be integrated into the overall building composition. Architectural enclosures should be designed as integral elements of the building architecture. Long unbroken forms and flat planes are discouraged.
Public street facing building facades should incorporate three-dimensional facade elements that lend a pedestrian scale to the street level.
Arcades, wide overhangs, deep reveals, permanent awnings, etc. are encouraged. Building and individual tenant entries should be easily identifiable. Flat unarticulated wall planes should not be used.

Buildings facing Main Street and the Main Street Promenade should have tall first floor plates. Retail ground floors should be a minimum 14 foot floor to floor. Residential units should have a minimum 10 foot first floor.
Roof design should be integral to the overall building design. Parapets shall screen rooftop mechanical or solar energy equipment from ground level view (any public right of way.
Tower elements should be included at key locations to provide points of interest along the streetscape.
Roofline variation along each block should be created by differing parapet heights. Materials should be appropriate to the building’s style and character and suited to commercial construction.
Materials such as stucco, masonry, storefront glazing and well-detailed precast concrete are encouraged.
Accent materials such as brick, stone, tile, and anodized or powder-coated high quality metal finishes are encouraged.
Any changes in materials should occur at inside corners where the building plane changes direction. Due to glare issues and aesthetic concerns mirror glazing should not be used.
Landscaping
The general landscape concept is to provide basic planting direction along streets and other public spaces, while allowing business owners and tenants to individualize their landscaping. The following information describes suggested landscaping:
All plantings must comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Select appropriate plant species based on architectural style and size of planters. For each parcel use a mix of shrubs, ground cover and turf, as appropriate. Plant shrubs at the base of the building and walls, vines on trellis structures, enclosures or garden walls.
Use larger shrubs adjacent to fences, walls and facades. Plant vines on walls, fences, trellis/arbor and structures. Provide access walkways to entries.
Plant accent shrubs to highlight entries.
Install an automatic water-efficient irrigation system. Plant shrubs and/or ground cover from back of walkways to face of wall or fence.

The commercial center in the northeastern portion of the ARSP area allows for uses, including but not limited to, large and small format retail, entertainment, office and other uses as approved by the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The following design guidelines supplement the City of Roseville Community Design Guidelines.
Site Design
The goal of the regional commercial center is to create a one-stop shopping experience, in additional to the existing retail areas in Roseville, for residents within the Plan Area as well as the greater Roseville community.
Bicycle parking and utilities should be integrated into the landscape design to place these elements where they are needed in a discrete manner.
Create a commercial center framed by storefronts, awnings and landscaping. Provide for a mix of sizes of businesses within the commercial center that creates a pedestrian friendly atmosphere.
Street Furnishings
The sidewalks are an important feature of a regional commercial environment. These areas should be furnished with enriched materials and furnishings that create a comfortable, convenient, and entertaining experience. With the exception of features created as art, the furnishings should be in a similar family of style, color, and finish to create a refined and uncluttered appearance.

Mirror glazing should not be used.
B.8 Signage Design Guidelines
These guidelines are intended to result in functional, attractive signage incorporating a high level of design, graphics and materials throughout Amoruso Ranch. Unless otherwise stated, all signage shall also conform to the specific requirements, spirit and intent of the City of Roseville Sign Ordinance provisions. If there are any inconsistencies between the City of Roseville regulations and these Design Guidelines, the Sign Ordinance shall take precedence. If these Design Guidelines are silent on a topic, the Sign Ordinance requirements shall apply. All signs require a sign permit and all building complexes with four or more buildings, tenants or uses require a Planned Sign Permit Program to be approved, prior to receiving individual sign permits.
The following sign types are strongly discouraged in all areas of Amoruso Ranch:
Internally-illuminated awnings.
Plastic-faced box or cabinet signs.
Formed plastic or injection molded plastic letters.
Luminous vacuum-formed plastic or acrylic letters. Signs with exposed fasteners unless they are architecturally integral to the building character and signage design. Signs with exposed conduit, tubing, raceways, conductors, transformers or related equipment. Fabricator’s stickers shall not be visible to the public.
General Guidelines
Signs shall be constructed of high quality, durable materials. All bolts, fasteners and clips shall consist of materials appropriate for the design of the sign and not appear as afterthoughts in the overall look of the sign. Separate all ferrous and non-ferrous materials with non-conductive gaskets to prevent electrolysis.
Projecting signs are another effective signage option in a pedestrian environment. These signs project horizontally from the wall that they are affixed to. This provides interest and a high level of visibility to the pedestrian and vehicles that are driving by. The following provides the general design criteria for these signs:
Relate the design of the project signs and supports to the character of the building. Position projecting signs to complement the building’s architectural details. Locate solid panel signs below the first floor ceiling line, or no more than fourteen (14) feet above the sidewalk, whichever is less. Provide at least eight (8) feet from the bottom of projecting signs to the ground in pedestrian areas and fourteen (14) feet in areas with vehicular traffic. Projecting signs should be attached at a ninety (90) degree angle from the face of the building. All signs which extend over the public Right of Way and or sidewalk shall be required to obtain the necessary permits from the City of Roseville.

B - 19 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
The building architecture should be designed to accommodate signage and other graphics as an integral part of the building design so that future signs do not interrupt architectural features of the building. Metal signs may be made of aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, stainless or welded steel. Logos or trademark displays may be used on signs.
Individual raised letters on the building face, pedestrian oriented blade signs, sculptured cantilever signs and non-internally lit signs with lighting from a secondary source are encouraged. Building addresses may be integrated as part of the architectural design or signage package for the building.
Signage may be integrated with awnings and canopies.
Commercial Mixed-Use Area – Village District
In keeping with the vibrant character desired in a mixed-use area, the following additional guidelines apply in the Mixed-Use areas:
Signs are encouraged to be unique, sculptural, one-of-a-kind accents to the building architecture. Sculptural elements, banners or painted murals without text may be included as part of a business identity.
Artistic use of neon in surface mounted, blade or hanging and window signs is permitted. Franchise signage is strongly encouraged to be incorporated into a more unique design execution than an “off the shelf” standard sign.
The signage program for a tenant may include banners mounted on the upper levels of the building.
Artistic execution of Franchise Sign. Example of Projecting Blade Sign. Handcrafted elements as signage.
Example of a Tenant specialty banner. Example of a Tenant Identification banner.
Example of a painted mural as part of
signage program.
Example of a Window Sign. Example of artistically executed neon. Example of a Major Tenant Building Identification Sign.

Commercial/Community
Free-standing monument signs are allowed as identification for a building or complex of buildings consistent with the City’s Sign Ordinance.
Color, materials and fonts should be integrated with the design character of the architecture and landscaping.
Sources of ground lighting should be screened from view. Monument signs for individual tenants within a building are discouraged.
Home Occupations
In keeping with smart growth and sustainability principles, home occupations within the Village District are encouraged. Where these occur, the home occupation shall not disrupt the neighborhood character, but is allowed to have a small sign displayed on the residence near the entry door or in a window. No standard franchise signage is allowed.
Signage shall be unique, original and executed with a high degree of craftsmanship. Signage shall not be “propped up” inside a window.
Signage shall not exceed two square feet in size.
Home Occupation Signs will not be allowed within the residential zones of the ARSP.
B.9 Public Facilities and Office Uses
While there will be no industrial uses within the ARSP, there will be a range of public facilities and office uses. Public facilities include: bus stops, an elementary school, a fire station, and other support structures such as lift stations. As an integral part of the community, it is important to maintain the quality of the character established by the Village District. Therefore, both public facilities and office uses will use the Design Guidelines for Office Development as a guide. It is anticipated that individual plans will be developed for each parcel based upon the program needs for the area.
Facilities should provide a positive visual identity from the surrounding properties, and address the public streets in a direct and welcoming manner. Building entrances should be clearly articulated with distinctive architectural elements, and signed to create strong simple orientation for students, employees, visitors and deliveries. Landscape buffers should be provided to screen loading and utilitarian portions of the site, including:
Provide for an environment where people are comfortable walking from building to building with pedestrian links to the surrounding community. Pedestrian paths and walks should be lined with trees and separated from direct adjacency to streets and parking areas.
Special paving should be used at key pedestrian and vehicular intersections. Pedestrian routes should not traverse large areas of parking lots without designated, landscaped enhanced routes.
Architectural enclosures should be designed as integral elements of the building architecture. Materials should be appropriate to the building’s style and character and suited to commercial construction. Any changes in materials should occur at the inside corners where the building plane changes direction.
Mirror glazing should not be used.
The nature of the ARSP is to integrate as much of the community together as possible. As a mixed-use site, walls will not be used to separate the public facilities and office uses from the rest of the community.
Public facilities, however, may be separated from residential areas in cases where noise, safety and security are of a concern.

B.10 Lighting
Exterior lighting can provide safe and effective evening illumination for the pedestrian and vehicular areas of roads, sidewalks, and walkways throughout the Amoruso Ranch community. Design should reflect the concept and character of the community through illumination level, light fixture type, finish, color, and location. There can be streetlights for roads and sidewalks, pedestrian lighting for sidewalks and walkways, building illumination, and accent lighting on special architectural and landscaping features.
Specialty lighting, such as seasonal tree lights, is also encouraged in the Village District. Cutoffs and shields shall be used as necessary to minimize impacts on residents.
Privately Owned and Maintained Street Lights
Streetlights and Fixtures are encouraged to be of two types:
1. On primary streets: pole mounted with twin arms that match the architectural style for the community.
The roadside arm could hold an extended lamp to illuminate the road. On the sidewalk side, the arm could hold flower baskets, art, or banner arms.
2. On secondary streets: single armed on poles to reduce glare and the impact of lighting on residences.
Light is also encouraged to be focused downward and shielded from the night sky.
The City of Roseville has established street lighting standards for the City. Should Amoruso Ranch wish to deviate from the standard light fixture in terms of design character, the selected fixture must be approved by the City and meet the City standards for illumination, glare prevention, etc.
Path and Stair Lights
In less traveled areas where bollards may be too large, footpath lights can be acceptable as a means to illuminate a secondary path. On stairways, inset stairway and stair step lights are encouraged to enhance pedestrian way finding. Consistent with City requirements pedestrian pathways must be illuminated a minimum of 0.5 foot-candles at the walking surface.
Building Mounted Lights
Building mounted lights can be used to light walkways, terraces, courtyards, plazas, and planting in appropriate areas. Because building lights may be turned off, building lighting cannot be depended upon exclusively for illuminating walkways and other areas where safety is a concern. Fixtures are encouraged to be selected and located to cast downward and be shielded to minimize glare. Lighting from buildings can be balanced with street lighting to ensure areas are not over lit.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting can be used to emphasize special features such as fountains, sculptures, wall niches, signs, planters, or trees for decorative effects and can be inconspicuous and durable. Small scale accent lights such as LED based fixtures can be used for way finding or as special design elements.
Special Event Lighting
Lighting used for special events can include decorative lighting for holiday seasons or other community park event lighting. Special event lighting can be designed for use during event and non-event times.
Seasonal decorative lighting during holidays and holiday events is encouraged subject to approval by the City of Roseville.

B.11 Parking
Off-Street Parking Guidelines
Off-street parking, including parking lots, can often have an undesirable effect on a community when it disconnects people from public spaces, creates visual and physical barriers, or provides unsafe conditions. The demand for off-street parking is reduced by encouraging the use of non-motorized transportation with strong trail linkages and bicycle facilities, and by having access to transit for daily needs.
Amoruso Ranch parking areas will follow the City of Roseville Zoning Ordinance standards and should:
Use appropriate lighting to eliminate dark hiding places, clearly marking any unobstructed access ways for users from parking, and increase visibility for users and security systems to monitor activity. Locate parking areas close to facilities to reduce the distance and time it takes to go from parking lots to the facility.
Provide on-street parking next to active areas.
Provide clear visibility, unobstructed by signs, landscape, or buildings from street to parking lots.
Minimize the visual impact of parking by:
Locating parking areas behind tree groves and out of view corridors. Planting parking lots with trees and shrubs to reduce the parking lot’s visual impact.
Pedestrian connections are encouraged to be integrated into the parking lot layout to provide safe, clear, and unobstructed pathways. For pedestrian access points and pathways, special emphasis can be provided through distinctive materials, colors, and patterns. Parking stall dimensions, aisle widths, loading areas, and layout shall conform to these and all other standards, codes, and regulations of the City of Roseville unless otherwise approved by the City. All irrigation and landscape shall comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
B.12 Relationship to the City Community Design Guidelines Where residential neighborhoods have an interface with an edge (i.e. adjacent to parks, paseos, or open space Class I trails), design techniques should be employed to provide neighborhood access and visibility to these features. This will enhance the level of connectivity in the ARSP. Guidelines for the various edges within the ARSP are provided below:
Guidelines for Edges along Parks, Paseos and Open Space The following guidelines apply to the design of neighborhoods adjacent to parks and open space features:
Where applicable, neighborhoods should provide access, for service and fire protection, adjacent to parks, natural creek corridors, pedestrian parkway corridors, and paseos. Locked gates into subdivisions are not permitted where they would preclude public access to a City park or Class I open space trail.
Along open space parcels, frontage landscaping shall be native plants, as required by the City. A subdivision’s internal street system shall be designed to allow residents to walk easily to nearby parks.
Residential units should be oriented towards parks and paseos, rather than backing onto them. Where streets occur adjacent to the Urban Park, individual private residential driveways are not permitted to take access from these streets.
Residential subdivisions located adjacent to open space areas shall provide visual access to the open space.
o Residential streets should provide views into the open space areas at selected locations by providing opportunities for homes to front or side on to open space. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including single-loaded streets, loop streets, or live end cul-de-sacs.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 23 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
o No more than 50% of homes, within each subdivision that are adjacent to open space shall back up to open space areas. This requirement will not apply to internal “urbanized” open space areas such as paseos, to the portion of AR-98, south of the Placer Parkway or to parcels AR24 and AR 37 where size and configuration may overly burden development (open fencing requirement still apply to these parcels).
o Where residential lots back up or side onto open space areas, the use of open-style fencing is appropriate. However, where privacy, security, or noise attenuation is of concern (such as adjacent to public trails), solid fencing may be used between residential lots and open space (subject to Fire Department standards).
o Where residential lots back or side onto an open space area and where public access is encouraged (i.e., along Class I trails), multiple connection points shall be provided, via live-end cul-de-sacs, paseos, or other means.
o Pedestrian connection points to park and open space features should be easy to find within neighborhoods, along designated pedestrian/bicycle routes with high visibility to residents. o As applicable, ensure subdivisions provide the proper interface with, and design for, any prescribed paseos.
o Where paseos are not adjacent to a street, they must be open to one side at all times to prevent a tunnel effect and create security concerns.
o Where Where homes side on to parks and open spaces fencing restrictions shall apply as per Fig. 5b. For homes siding or fronting on to AR-64 the front and side yard fencing shall be limited in height to 2’-6”.

B.13 Community Landscape Design Guidelines
The purpose of the landscape design guidelines is to encouraged elements that support the landscape vision for the community as discussed in Chapter 3 of this Specific Plan. Elements that would distract from the intended character are noted as discouraged elements.
Landscape design should be appropriate for the local climate and soil conditions, use of water conserving plant species, utilize recycled water irrigation systems, install water efficient, low volume irrigation systems and controls and comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO).
Landscaping should provide an appropriate transition between the formal landscaping in developed areas and the natural character of the open space areas.
This section outlines landscape themes and street planting concepts.
A. Landscape Design Goals and Objectives
To support the landscape vision for Amoruso Ranch the following concepts are established as objectives for the landscaping within the Plan Area:
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 25 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Provide high quality landscape and strong community identity. Utilize landscaping to enhance the sense of community established by the network of trails and pedestrian connections.
Create a unified palette of materials and colors that supports a cohesive identity for the community, yet allow for variety and interest.
Create open gathering spaces where the community can comfortably meet, gather, and recreate. Reinforce the street character where the pedestrian is the primary user and the vehicle is secondary. Utilize a water efficient design that meets the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) Using the above criteria, the following guidelines were established in order to meet the goals and objectives of the landscape at Amoruso Ranch.
Streetscapes
Attractive streetscapes are an important aspect of any community and Amoruso Ranch embraces this principle. The streets sections at Amoruso Ranch were designed with an eye to the pedestrian and cyclist. Ample space in the parkways for street trees creates a buffer to insulate the pedestrian from vehicles. The landscape, particularly street tree selections, reinforces the street hierarchy to establish a sense of place and visual continuity throughout the community.
The following section addresses design guidelines for street trees and their associated landscape. For an in-depth discussion on the street hierarchy and street section geometry, refer to Circulation Chapter 7.
B. Landscape for Streets
General Guidelines
The following guidelines apply to all streetscape landscaping within ARSP. An automatic water efficient irrigation system shall be used in all formal landscape areas. The use of drought tolerant, low water use, plant species is encouraged. Street trees should be centered between street lights (per Roseville Electric landscape guidelines). Parkways and medians will be utilized for water quality features. The design of these features should complement and enhance the streetscape.
Landscape elements such as planting, signage etc., shall be located such that the minimum sight distances for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians are maintained. Berms shall be no taller than thirty inches (30”) in height including plantings.
Arterial Streets
The arterial streets that cross through Amoruso Ranch are Westbrook Boulevard, Road “B” and Road “D.” These streets are the first layer of circulation at Amoruso Ranch and will be the first street viewed by the public as they enter the community. The following guidelines should be followed for landscape in these areas:
Large minimum 15-gallon container, evergreen non-conifer trees should be planted in the parkways and medians.
Street tree spacing should allow the tree canopies along each side to touch at maturity. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for species and spacing. Root barriers and deep root irrigation shall be installed on trees planted within five feet of a curb, paved surface, sidewalk or wall.
Parkways and medians should be planted with shrubs and groundcover using planting as a unifying theme but allow for a variety of species to ensure a healthy and long-lived plant palette. Turf should be avoided in these areas.
Use of low water use, walk-on type groundcovers or grasses is encouraged.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 26 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
West Sunset Boulevard
In addition to the guidelines above, the following standards shall be applied to the portion of West Sunset Boulevard adjacent to the northern portion of the ARSP. A landscape corridor will be provided. The existing Sunset right of way will be adjusted to accommodate this landscape corridor. The roadway will continue to be in Placer County’s jurisdiction whereas the landscape corridor will be within the City of Roseville’s jurisdiction.
Depending on the road section and the travel lanes required the landscape corridor may vary between 25 feet to 15 feet in width.
Within the landscape corridor, a 5 foot sidewalk will be provided. A 7 feet maximum wall height shall be provided as a buffer between the landscape corridor and the residential units backing onto West Sunset Boulevard. The setbacks from the landscape corridor shall be followed as set forth in the Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan Development Standards
Large minimum 15-gallon container, evergreen non-conifer trees should be planted in the landscape corridor.
Root barriers and deep root irrigation shall be installed on trees planted within five feet of a curb, paved surface, sidewalk or wall.
Turf should be avoided in these areas.
Use of low water use, walk-on type groundcovers or grasses is encouraged.

Median Breaks
Median breaks on arterial streets are limited to those shown on Figure 7.3 in Chapter 7, Circulation. The purpose of controlling the number and location of these breaks, in addition to controlling traffic movements, is to ensure a strong, continuous street tree and landscaping treatment along the streetscape. On a limited basis, additional median breaks may be considered on a case by case basis. Additional median breaks will be considered when a demonstrated benefit is shown to increase the level of service of an otherwise already degraded signalized intersection adjacent to the location of the desired breaks.
Median breaks along arterial streets should be spaced to allow for standard turn pocket and taper lengths.
Breaks should be spaced to provide a sufficient area for median landscaping and to prevent small islands which cannot be landscaped due to size constraints. Median design should avoid creating conditions where hardscape must be installed in lieu of landscaping due to site distance requirements.
A minimum of five (5) trees, spaced at maximum intervals of thirty feet (30’) on-center, shall be provided in any one section of median.
Special cases deviating from these standards may be considered at the discretion of the Development Services Director, on a case by case basis.

Modified Collector Street
Road “A”, east of Westbrook is the only Modified Collector Street within Amoruso Ranch. It provides a secondary connection between Westbrook Boulevard and Road “B”. The following guidelines should be followed for landscape along this street:
Large evergreen non-conifer trees should be planted in the parkways and medians. Street tree spacing should allow the tree canopies along each side to touch at maturity. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for species and spacing. Parkways and medians should be planted with shrubs and groundcover using planting as a unifying theme but allow for a variety of species to ensure a healthy and long-lived plant palette. Turf should be avoided in these areas.

Modified Primary Residential Street with Street-side Paseo This is an asymmetrical street section with detached sidewalks that consists of a sidewalk with a parkway on one side of the street and a wider sidewalk set within a landscape zone on the alternate side. This unique, wider landscape zone and wider walkway gives the street a park-like ambiance and forms a strong pedestrian and bike corridor within the community. Large deciduous trees should be aligned so that they canopy over the street. On the wider parkway side, a second row of more columnar deciduous trees establishes a unique streetscape. Shrubs and groundcover should be used within the parkways between the walks and the curb. The following guidelines should be followed for landscape along this street:
Large deciduous canopy trees should be planted in the parkway. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for specific tree species. Species should be selected to create rich fall color to highlight these streets within the community.
Street tree spacing should allow the tree canopies along each side to touch at maturity. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for species and spacing. In the area behind the walk within the landscape zone, a tall columnar deciduous tree species should be used. Spacing should correspond to the parkway street tree.
Parkways should be planted with shrubs or groundcover or grasses and groundcover for layered plantings. The progression of scale and use of color is particularly important in the wide parkway area.
In the area behind the walkway in the 35 foot wide landscape zone, a more ornamental plant palette may be considered as a transition to private front yards. Turf should be avoided in these areas.
Pedestrian level lighting is encouraged along the ten foot wide walk section.
Roundabouts
Roundabouts are utilized to calm traffic and slow it as it enters the residential neighborhoods.
Roundabouts should be planted in a similar style to the streetscapes. Tall shrubs and trees should be kept out of the sight lines in these areas. The following guidelines should be followed for landscape at roundabouts:
Large deciduous or non-conifer canopy trees should be planted in the roundabouts to establish a vertical focal point.
Roundabouts should be mounded 18 inches - 24 inches above the curb and landscaped to give more definition to the space.
Layered planting is encouraged in this area to give more variety and definition to the landscape. Roundabouts may be used for water quality facilities if their design compliments and enhances the overall streetscape.
Turf should be avoided in these areas.
Utility layout through the roundabouts should consider specimen tree plantings when planning infrastructure.

Modified Minor Residential Streets
Neighborhood streets have a five foot wide parkway and a five foot wide sidewalk on both sides of the street. The character of the landscaping along the streets should reflect that of the architectural character of each neighborhood. Trees should be sized appropriately for the width of the parkway and regularly spaced within a planted parkway. Tree species can vary from street to street and neighborhood to neighborhood, but should remain consistent within each block. The following guidelines should be followed for landscape along this street:
Non-conifer evergreen canopy trees should be planted in the parkway. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for specific tree species.
Street tree spacing should allow the tree canopies along each side to touch at maturity. Refer to Table B.1 Street Tree Master Plan for species and spacing. Use of parkways for water quality swales is allowable.

Alleys
Alleys may be used to provide access to the garage areas of the homes. Given the close proximity of the architecture to the alley, landscape here will be important to soften the edges of the homes. The following guidelines should be followed when designing the alley landscape. Alley landscape plans should be coordinated with utility plans to ensure adequate landscaping can be provided in the available space.
Trees should be placed between each unit unless it is not feasible due to lack of space or other physical constraint.
Trees and shrubs selected for planting pockets should be of an appropriate scale for the available space.
Plantings should accommodate access to the private yards as appropriate. Privacy fencing in alleys should be located to allow for adequate landscaping between the fence and the alley driving surface.
Alleys should have accent trees on both sides where they meet the streets. Landscaping within each alley should reflect the vernacular of the architecture.

Village District Streets
The Village District streets are unique to the community and it is important that their landscaping reflect this urban character. There are two types of streets with the Village District: Main Street and the Modified Primary Residential Street-Village Street. Below are guidelines for the landscape for each of the Village District streetscapes. A more in-depth discussion of the landscape for the Village District occurs later in this chapter.
Main Street
Main Street is the backbone of the Village District and is the most urban streetscape, using tree grates, specialty paving, landscape furniture and art to define the landscape. Deciduous canopy trees should be planted along the street in tree grates. Refer to Table B.1 for specific tree species.
Tree spacing should allow tree canopies to touch and should establish a unique streetscape identity within the community.
Tree species should be selected to allow visibility to merchant signage by having open canopies that allow you to see through the canopy or quickly grow to a height that allows signage to be seen under the canopy.
Accent planting should reinforce the overall urban nature of the street. Turf should be avoided.

Village Streets
The Village Streets provide alternate access to the Village District, and are slightly wider than the neighborhood streets to accommodate some commercial traffic, including occasional cube delivery trucks.
The landscaping along these streets should reflect their adjacent uses but should have an urban character.
Deciduous canopy trees should be planted along the street. Where adjacent to commercial uses, they should be located in widened sidewalks with tree grates. Where adjacent to residential uses, they may either be located in five foot planted parkways or widened sidewalks and with tree grates, whichever is more appropriate to the density of housing. Refer to Street Tree Master Plan for specific tree species.
Street tree spacing should allow the tree canopies to touch at maturity, approximately 30 feet on center.
Understory planting can be ornamental and can consist of clipped hedges and flowering shrubs and groundcovers.
Turf should be avoided in these areas.

Landscape Edge Conditions
Given the location of Amoruso Ranch, there are a variety of edge conditions that occur around the site.
Various landscape and edge treatments should be employed for residential neighborhoods along the edges of the Plan Area. A variety of design techniques will be employed to provide access, visibility, or even to buffer and separate the proposed residential development from the surrounding uses. Guidelines for the various edges within the ARSP are provided below. The following illustrations are merely suggestions, but are not limited to these designs as long as the intent of the ARSP is met.
Guidelines for Development along Open Space:
The following guidelines should be followed where development land is adjacent to parks and open spaces.
Where applicable, neighborhoods should provide access, for service and fire protection, to adjacent parks, natural creek corridors, pedestrian parkway corridors, or paseos. Locked gates into subdivisions are not permitted where they would preclude public access to a City park or open space areas.
Along open space parcels, frontage landscaping shall be non-invasive, native plants, as approved by the City.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 42 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Along open space parcels, frontage landscaping shall include post and cable fencing between the frontage landscaping and open space area.
A subdivision’s internal street system shall be designed to allow residents to walk easily to nearby parks.
Residential units should be oriented toward (facing) parks and paseos, rather than backing up to them.
Residential subdivisions located adjacent to open space area shall provide visual and physical access (for service and fire protection) to the open space. Pedestrian and bicycle access to open space shall only be provided where Class I trails are proposed. o No more than 50% of homes, within each subdivision that are adjacent to open space shall back up to open space areas. This requirement will not apply to internal “urbanized” open space areas such as paseos, to the portion of AR-98, south of the Placer Parkway or to parcels AR24 and AR 37 where size and configuration may overly burden development (open fencing requirement still apply to these parcels)..
o Residential streets should provide views into open space areas at selected locations by providing opportunities for home to front or side on to open space. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including single-loaded streets, loop streets, or live end cul-de-sacs. o Where residential lots back or side onto an open space area, multiple connection points (for service and fire protection) shall be provided, via live-end cul-de-sacs, paseos, or other means.
Pedestrian and bicycle access to open space shall only be provided where Class I trails are proposed.
o Where residential lots back up or side onto open space areas, the use of open-style fencing is appropriate,
o Pedestrian connection points to park and open space features should be easy to find within neighborhoods, along designated pedestrian/bicycle routes with high visibility to residents. o As applicable, ensure that subdivisions provide the proper interface and design when adjacent to open space.

Guidelines for development along the Western Property Line North of Placer Parkway (Gleason Property):
In keeping with the City’s General Plan policy there shall be adequate separation between the proposed residential development in ARSP and the adjoining agricultural uses to the west of the project area. Fencing and adequate landscaping shall be provided to minimize the interaction of the two uses. Adequate landscaping screening shall be provided along the residential edge to minimize visual impacts both to and from the development.
Along open space parcels, landscaping shall be native plants, as required by the City. Pedestrian/bike access may be provided on the maintenance road along the drainage channel.
Where homes front on to the drainage channel, the maintenance road may be replaced by a single loaded road.
Where homes back on to the drainage channel, sufficient landscape shall be provided between the maintenance trail and the fences. Fences could be low solid wall solid or open fences with tubular steel.

Guidelines for development along Placer Parkway:
Placer Parkway is a planned regional future six-lane expressway that runs through the ARSP area.
During the Tentative Map stage for homes immediately adjacent to Placer Parkway (Parcels AR-2, AR-3, AR-4, AR-5, AR-6, AR-7, AR-8, AR-9 and AR-10), the following measures should be considered to maintain compatibility in the adjacent neighborhood. In addition portions of Placer Parkway maybe elevated above adjacent neighborhoods, so care should be taken while designing neighborhoods and individual lots.
Development may back side or front on to the proposed Placer Parkway ROW. Where homes back or side on to the right-of-way, a masonry wall will be provided. Where homes front on Placer Parkway, a single loaded road may provide the separation, as illustrated in the conceptual cross section below.
Care should be taken to locate and orient homes to address livability concerns. It is assumed the lotting pattern and home orientations may vary within the development parcels. Planting materials should be used between residences and Placer Parkway, where possible, as a screen or buffer. Plant material such as Sycamore, Oaks or London Plane trees or other similar planting material that has a broad canopy should be considered.
The following sections illustrate potential design solutions for buffering along Placer Parkway. Design of Placer Parkway is conceptual and actual design will be completed by others:

C. Parks
The ARSP has an extensive network of both parks and trails. The description, general layout, and amenity schedule for the public parks has been addressed in Chapter 8.
In general, the park landscape should respond to the context in which it is located as well as the focus or “big idea” for the activities within each unique park. Where parks are adjacent to natural open space, the landscape with the parks should reflect and respond to the adjacent natural setting.
Privately owned urban relief areas (also referred to as “pocket parks”) may occur throughout Amoruso Ranch and their design will be specific to each neighborhood. Where odd shaped “left over” parcels occur within a neighborhood, the merchant builder is encouraged to plan it as urban relief that is maintained by a Home Owner’s Association or other private ownership entity.
In general, the following guidelines should be used when designing the parks. The design and materials shall be consistent with the City of Roseville Public Works and Parks Design and Construction Standards, the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and the project’s Water Conservation Plan. Turf areas should be limited to active recreation areas. Shrubs and ground cover palettes should be simple and layered to give definition and variation to spaces and yet maintain a unified ground plain.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 48 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Shrub and tree species in parks should be hardy, long lived, and easily maintainable. Use of low water use plants in appropriate areas is encouraged. All plant material should be chosen from the approved plant palette and consistent with the Parks Construction Standards as listed by the City’s Urban Forester. Walks and hardscape within the parks are encouraged to use special finishes or score patterns to reinforce their identity. Site furnishings should be made of durable, long-lasting material, consistent with the Parks Construction Standards.
D. Village District Landscape and Hardscape
The Village District is a mix of retail, office, and residential uses with the goal of creating an urban gathering and activity hub for the residents of the community and surrounding area. The landscape within this area should have a sophisticated urban vibe. Outdoor dining, informal seating in open, shaded plazas, and large scale community events may all occur in the Village District.
In addition to the landscape character of Main Street previously discussed in this Appendix, there are opportunities for small urban plazas where buildings break along Main Street. These areas should be planned for accent paving with seating and should include a focal feature such as a large shade tree, art piece or water feature.
Where streets intersect with Main Street, the vehicle should feel secondary to the pedestrian. Enhanced paving should be used at the intersections and cross walks, as well as zero edge curbs at the corners.
At the Main Street Promenade, this entire block is intended to function as one large plaza with the center of the street being the main activity area. Within this plaza, accent paving or pavers should dominate the ground plane. It should include shaded and open moveable seating, and may include variety of other activities including a small structure. It is important to include art as a major component of this plaza space. The entire block can be cordoned off to host farmers markets, art shows, car shows, etc.

The following are basic guidelines that should be followed when designing the hardscape of the Village District.
All trees along the streets within the Village District should meet the street landscape guidelines discussed earlier in this Appendix.
Paving along Main Street and within the adjacent plazas should be enhanced. Colored concrete, pavers, or brick are encouraged. Enhanced concrete scoring patterns are also encouraged. Pavers or scored concrete is encouraged to be used within intersections in crosswalks or within the entire intersection.
Outdoor seating as part of the streetscape as well as areas for outdoor dining is encouraged. Within the parking areas in the Village District, trees should be placed to minimize the heat island effect and design of the parking lot shall meet City of Roseville standards, including standards for shading.
E. Landscape Planting Guidelines
The landscape within Amoruso Ranch is a major design element for reinforcing the character of the community. Plantings define street edges and add scale, visual interest, and seasonal change to spaces.
In general, layout and plant selection for the community should complement their surroundings and mesh seamlessly with the architecture of the community.
There is a wide variety of deciduous and non-conifer evergreen trees that can be used in the Amoruso Ranch plan area. These trees can be planted in areas to reinforce pedestrian connections, define edges and views, provide shade for seating areas, and add visual interest. Trees can also be used to anchor corners and intersections throughout the community and demarcate gateways and amenity areas. All trees should be selected from the ARSP Tree Palette (Table B.1) for climactic hardiness, longevity, visual appeal and desired design intent. If a tree species is found to be susceptible to disease, structurally unsound or causes high maintenance challenges long term, it shall be replaced with an alternate species.
Understory planting is just as important as the tree selection. Shrubs, groundcover, grasses and perennials can be used to define spaces and create outdoor rooms in amenity areas. They are also important in helping to establish the character of the different neighborhoods. Shrub selection in general should reflect the architectural character of the community and should relate with the architectural theme of each neighborhood. These understory plants are encouraged to be selected for their form, texture, color, hardiness and longevity. Plantings are encouraged to be multi-layered and diverse to provide yearround interest, color and form.
Water efficient landscape shall be utilized in the Amoruso Ranch plan area and planting and irrigation design shall meet the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and Water Conservation Plan. Plant selection will be crucial in balancing the mandated state guidelines and the aesthetics of the community.

B.14 Community & Neighborhood Entry Features
There is a hierarchy of entry features at Amoruso Ranch that is split into three categories: City gateways announcing entry into the City of Roseville, Community monuments that demark the Plan Area and Neighborhood entry features
City Gateways are the most significant in the hierarchy of entrance features in the Plan. Located along the northern boundary of the Plan Area where Sunset Road intersects a major arterial (Westbrook Boulevard and/or Future Placer Parkway), these features give a pronounced entrance statement into the City.
Community monuments are the gateway features that announce entrance into the Plan Area along Westbrook Boulevard. Sited at key locations, these features should have a unified application of hardscape elements, project icons, landscaping and accent materials to define ARSP’s visual character.
Functionally, they serve as the signage for Amoruso Ranch and reinforce the community identity. The initial impression of a community is often formed by the quality and character of these monuments. The design of these monuments should reflect the architectural vernacular of the community. Materials with a feeling of quality and permanence such as stone, brick, tile or steel should be used for all monuments and they may incorporate art pieces to make them even more unique landmarks. By utilizing a consistent material palette and design philosophy for each unique monument within Amoruso Ranch, they become community threads that tie the community together.
Signage should utilize high quality materials which will endure outdoor seasonal conditions and resist vandalism. Signs and sign lettering are encouraged to be monolithic or panels/plaques, versus individual letters, such as those listed below. All signs are subject to review and approval by the Planning and Building Divisions as well as the Parks and Recreation Department and are subject to provisions in the Roseville Sign Ordinance.
Entry feature signage should feature the following types of characteristics:
Flush mount channel letters
Flush mount masonry cast concrete signage
All sign elements on pilasters or walls shall use mounting hardware securely embedded into the surface onto which it is affixed. Salvageable materials (metals) shall be avoided. No epoxy-mounted elements are permitted.
Neighborhood monument features are smaller and are related to the Community Monuments in terms of design character and material palette. They are strategically located at key vehicular and pedestrian intersections to reinforce the perception of Amoruso Ranch as a unique district within the City of Roseville.

City Gateways
Gateways are characterized by hardscape and landscape elements that have a visually pronounced stature along the streetscape, with a thematic application of landscaping, materials, finishes, and signage that are from a common palette created for ARSP. The following guidelines should be used to help direct the design of these features:
Gateways should utilize landscape corridors at intersections where a corner clip creates a physical space for these features.
Hardscape features should include iconic elements, such as monuments, walls, pilasters, raised planters, plazas, and/or other architectural elements, that are derived from a common palette of materials, colors and exterior finishes.
Landscape materials should utilize water-conserving species and incorporate accent trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that harmonize with the overall landscape theme of ARSP, but in a manner that visually punctuates Gateways as significant elements of the public realm. Signage and indirect lighting should be incorporated into the design of monuments and walls in a subtle manner that is secondary to the hardscape features. Signage should be incorporated into gateways to identify the City of Roseville. This signage may also identify ARSP, provided it is complimentary to City signage Community Announcement Monuments (Monuments 1 and 5)
The Community Announcement Monuments occur at either end and flank both sides of Westbrook Boulevard upon entering into the developed portions of Amoruso Ranch. They will require adequate space around them to create an appropriate scale to their setting. They will consist of a tall, vertical structure with the Amoruso Ranch logo or name plate set within the monument. The monument should be lit from below, such lighting equipment shall be approved by the City. Any low planters or walls should be constructed of the same material as the main monument. Within the setting there should be a bosque of sculptural deciduous trees, punctuated by a large specimen tree. The understory of this planting is a plain of groundcover or grasses, while foreground shrub planting should consist of an evergreen groundcover or low shrub. A backdrop for the monument should be established utilizing landscape features such as a row of columnar evergreen trees set in a shrub massing of medium height evergreen planting. Signage should be incorporated into gateways to identify the City of Roseville. This signage may also identify Amoruso Ranch Specific Plan, provided it is complimentary to City signage.

Road “B” and Road “D”
At the signalized intersections of Road “B” and Road “D”, the entry monumentation will occur on all four corners. The entry monuments at these locations will consist of a vertical monument pilaster and may include wing walls and raised planters. Within this area will be a bosque of deciduous canopy trees set in a field of groundcover or grasses. A backdrop for the monument should be established utilizing landscape features such as a row of evergreen trees. Planting in the foreground and the background should consist of an evergreen groundcover or low shrub.

The intersection of Main Street and Westbrook Boulevard is important as it marks the entry into the Village District. This monument will occur on all four corners. On the east side of Westbrook Boulevard, the main portion of the monument will be the same size and scale as the other two community entry monuments. On the west side of Westbrook Boulevard, the monument may include a feature that spans across Main Street. This should be a contemporary interpretation of a classic main street element seen in many historic downtowns. In addition, a tall pilaster will be located in the median on Westbrook Boulevard, subject to the City’s vehicle sight distance requirements. Planting at the Main Street entry should include flowering accent trees located within a field of groundcover or grasses.

B.15 Walls and Fences
Walls and fences throughout the ARSP are intended to provide screening to land uses, create a transition between developed areas and open space, secure off-site edges from public access and provide privacy and security for private property. Design and material for walls and fencing varies throughout the Plan Area depending on the specific purpose. The following graphic identifies the wall types and their prospective locations.
A. Wall Guidelines
Amoruso Ranch is intended to be a fully integrated community to the extent feasible, by minimizing walls separating neighbor from neighbor or between land uses. Walls over 36 inches high may only be used in specific locations, as required mitigation for sound attenuation and must be integrated into the overall aesthetic of the community. The following are basic guidelines for the aesthetics of the walls if they are needed:
Design of all walls should complement the architectural vernacular of the neighborhood in which they are found. Designs that conflict with this character are not permitted. Mitigation measures that utilize other techniques rather than sound walls are preferable. Those techniques may include building construction techniques, siting of structures to shield private outdoor space, etc.
The height for any sound wall should be the minimum of six-feet or as otherwise required by the EIR, or site specific noise analysis, as a mitigation measure. The maximum height for front yard walls (within the front yard setback) should be 36 inches. Raising the pads of the homes at Amoruso Ranch is encouraged; low retaining walls (36 inches maximum) are permitted in the front yard zone.
Tops of all walls should be level wherever feasible.
Sound walls along arterial roadways shall be placed within the ROW and maintained with proceeds from the CFD. All other walls and fences shall be placed on the private property side of the property line and maintained by the private property owner.
All walls should be constructed and engineered per local codes and regulations. Where sound attenuation walls are required, they must be constructed of high quality materials such as colored, split-faced block and include design appropriate cap and column details Typical Neighborhood Monumentation
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 66 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Masonry Walls
Masonry walls are intended to provide security, screening, privacy, and/or sound attenuation where appropriate. The typical application of masonry walls is on arterial roadways, along the back edge of the landscape corridor where needed for sound attenuation.
At a minimum masonry walls are required along the project boundary on West Sunset Boulevard, and the eastern edge of property boundary adjacent to the potential Placer Ranch Specific Plan Area. They must be constructed of high quality materials such as colored, split-faced block and include adequate cap and column details. Long, unbroken expanses of the same finish, color or texture are not permitted.
The guidelines below outline the key design requirements and common applications for masonry walls in the Plan Area:
Masonry walls along public streets should be placed to avoid blocking views to the open space corridors and should not obstruct underground or above ground electric, telephone, cable, water or sewer services or equipment.
Walls should be a minimum of six-feet high along arterial roads, or higher if necessary to meet the requirements of site specific noise analyses. For walls higher than six feet in height, designs should be encouraged for walls to be constructed atop low earthen berms. Opportunities for wall openings between land uses should be included where appropriate to encourage and facilitate pedestrian connection/access between land uses (i.e., between residential and commercial sites and between residential neighborhoods) to provide connectivity throughout the plan.
Pilasters shall be used at each side of neighborhood vehicular and pedestrian entrances to define openings, and at each angle point or change in direction to enhance wall aesthetics. Continuity in materials shall be incorporated among walls including design, color, block style, trim style and cap style.
Landscaping in front of the wall shall include shrubs close to the wall to break up any stretches of wall not interrupted by columns.
Multiple pilasters at neighborhood entries are encouraged. Pilasters should provide sufficient bulk and dimensions to appear in proportion to the height and mass of the wall Pilasters and columns may not be less than 18 inches in any dimension at the base, and may be circular or square.
Where adjacent to LDR and MDR neighborhoods, the maintenance obligation of the wall is the responsibility of the Community Facilities District (CFD).

B. Fence Guidelines
The fences of Amoruso Ranch will play an important part in unifying the overall project. The following section will establish basic guidelines for the aesthetics of the walls and fences; followed by descriptions of each type of wall and fence found at Amoruso Ranch.
General Guidelines
Neighborhood fences should complement the architectural vernacular of the neighborhood in which they are found.
The average maximum height for all fences should be seven feet. The maximum height for front yard walls and fences should be 36 inches. Materials not acceptable for fences include aluminum or sheet metal, woven wire, chain link or vinyl chain link, plastic or fiberglass sheets, and any kind of plastic mesh. Tops of all fencing should be level wherever feasible.
Fence Types
Amoruso Ranch has a variety of conditions that will require fencing. Below is a description of each type of fence within Amoruso Ranch.
Open Fencing
Open Space Fencing along Developed Edges
Open fences are intended to provide a visually transparent barrier at developed edges adjacent to open space parcels and include materials such as wrought iron and tubular steel. Where the open space interfaces with rear yards, an open view fence will be used. Where the natural open space interfaces in non-development areas, for instance against a park or a street, a split rail wood fence will be used.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 69 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
Fencing between Residential and Open Space
Open fencing between residential and open space should be four to six feet in height and constructed of tubular steel or wrought iron and black or dark green in color Brick or other masonry pilasters or columns may be used as an optional detail with tubular steel or wrought iron fences.
Both sides of fencing are to be addressed aesthetically if they are visible from streets. Where residential lots back up to open space, open fencing should be used. Open fencing at open space edges may incorporate masonry cheek walls.
Other Fencing Conditions at Open Space
Concrete rail or post-and-cable fencing should be used along the street edge adjacent to open space preserves to define the landscape edge and discourage access of dirt bikes and motorized vehicles.
Front Yard Walls and Fencing
Any fences within the front yards of the residences should reflect the vernacular of the architecture of that neighborhood. The maximum height of fences in these areas should be 36 inches.
Good Neighbor Fence
The “Good Neighbor” fence is located along the yard perimeter of the residences and is a shared fence between neighbors. It should be of high quality wood construction and of a character that is compatible with the architectural style of the homes. It typically does not incorporate decorative top rails. It is intended to provide privacy and security between residential units.
Standard Wood Fence
Standard wood fences have a consistent architectural design appearance on each side and incorporate decorative top rails. This fence type is typically located adjacent to parks and paseos or on lots which back or side to a residential street where a masonry wall is not required.
Guidelines for standard wood fences:
Minimum height of solid wood fence along all residential streets within neighborhoods is 7 feet. Fence sections may be 8 to 10 feet in length supported by 4-by-4 posts. Fences are to be of redwood construction and painted or stained in an earth tone color. Minimum six-feet high standard wood fence should be constructed where residential lots back up to schools or parks.
Gates create focal points within a fence. Their design is encouraged to be differentiated from the fence and create an area of emphasis and demarcation.

B.16 Site Furnishings
Exterior furnishings at Amoruso Ranch should complement the overall character of the community yet the furnishing style of each neighborhood should be appropriate for its context. For instance, within the Village District, furniture should be durable and long lasting since it will see heavy use and therefore stylized metal or custom “art” benches are appropriate here. Below are some basic guidelines to follow when selecting site furniture for Amoruso Ranch.
All site furniture should be made of high quality, durable material. Recycled plastic furniture is not acceptable.
Painted finishes when used on metal furniture should be powder coated. Color and style of all furniture should complement the architecture of the surrounding neighborhood. Site furniture should be permanently mounted and located appropriately to take advantage of areas of high use and activity.
Moveable furniture is encouraged where flexibility enhances the user’s experience such as in the Village District in the Urban Park and along the Main Street Promenade. Furniture should not obstruct access to buildings or impede handicap accessibility All site furniture should be consistent with the overall landscape design principles and community character of the project.
A. Furnishings
Exterior furnishings provide public amenities that establish a high quality and consistent urban design in the streetscape, reflecting the context of the area and helping to establish the unique qualities of places within the Amoruso Ranch community. These elements are encouraged to be integrated into the overall site design where appropriate. The amount of exterior furnishings should be appropriate to the level of use rather than creating too much clutter.
Bollards
Bollards can be used to protect pedestrians from vehicles in areas where pedestrians access walkways, paseos, and public plazas. Bollards can be permanent but placed to provide emergency vehicles access.
Permanent bollards define edges and entrances to pedestrian areas and control vehicular access. They integrate illumination in pedestrian areas. Bollards are encouraged to be limited to locations that do not interfere with parking, deliveries, and other functions. It is recognized that bollards can also be an obstruction and hazard to bicyclists; therefore, their use should be minimized in areas where bicyclists are expected.
Bicycle Amenities
Bike racks are encouraged to be placed in areas where bicyclists need to park when visiting open space, recreational facilities, shopping and employment areas. Bike racks are to be double-poled and wide enough for resting the entire bike against the rack. Although they are primarily utilitarian, the chosen style Residential Fence Types
DESIGN GUIDELINES
B - 71 | AMORUSO RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
March 2020 January 2022
is encouraged to relate to the aesthetic of the neighborhood. Bike parking may also be provided at Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops.
Tree Grates
Tree grates are encouraged to be used for all street trees placed along sidewalks that are not part of a planting strip area. ADA compliance is recommended as is a minimum size of four feet by four feet. Tree guards protect trees in active areas that are vulnerable to damage from vehicle bumpers or door swings.
Planters, Pots, and Boxes
Planters are encouraged in plazas and other public spaces and can be raised 12 inches to 24 inches with seat walls at the edges to protect plants from pedestrian “short cut” paths and trampling. Pots and planter boxes can be used at public building entries where building maintenance personnel can care for them.
Pots and planter boxes will be more effective if they are at least 18 inches deep and have a minimum of an 18 inch diameter.
B. Residential Subdivision Design
Residential subdivisions are subject to design requirements of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. To ensure neighborhoods provide cross connectivity for automobiles, bicyclists, and pedestrians, subdivision design should be guided by the design goals in this sub-section. The intent is to design individual subdivisions that appear seamless and are well-connected.
While connectivity is desired, some neighborhoods may be gated provided they do not limit access to open space, trails, paseos, parks or schools.
Neighborhood Connectivity
The compact design, and the different modes of paths of vehicular and non-vehicular connections creates highly connected residential neighborhoods. Connectivity is a main tenant of the Specific Plan. It is a design challenge to create connectivity across hard edges such as arterial roadways, the planned Placer Parkway, open space preserves and other site features. Where large lot parcel edges are between subdivisions and the types of hard edges described above do not exist, providing connectivity between subdivisions is encouraged.
The exact locations of street connections will be determined through small lot subdivision design. If subdivisions for adjacent large lot parcels are processed at separate times, the first subdivision to be processed by the City will establish the location for cross connection points.
Guidelines to enhance the connectivity of neighborhood units are outline below:
To minimize barriers between neighborhoods and to enhance connectivity, street patterns should be encouraged to allow connection points between neighboring subdivisions. Paseo access should be used as a means to integrate multiple subdivisions consistent with the Paseo Plan in Figure B.36.
B.17 Gated Subdivisions
Residential subdivisions may be planned as gated subdivisions during small lot subdivision design.
Residential parcels may be determined appropriate for a gated subdivision if it can be demonstrated the gates will not preclude adequate through-access for pedestrians, cyclists, or automobiles consistent with the circulation plan. Large lot parcels adjacent to parks, open space or paseos are not eligible for gating as to maintain public access to these amenities. Gating of subdivisions may be considered on a case-bycase basis, subject to approval by the Development Services Department, Planning, and Engineering Divisions.

B. 18 Paseos
Paseos are a key element which provide pedestrian and bikeway linkages throughout the Central portion of the ARSP. Paseos are intended to be active, useable areas which encourage pedestrian activity, interaction among residents and connectivity between neighborhoods.
The following design criteria apply to ensure paseos are adequately connected with adjacent neighborhoods:
Residential street paseos are located internal to residential neighborhoods, generally between or on the edge of large lot parcels.
Residential street paseos feature a 10 feet wide sidewalk and a landscape strip along one street edge.

B. 19 Utility Sites Concept Plans
Six parcels are designated P/QP for the construction of utility infrastructure facilities to serve the ARSP.
These include:
Fire Station (AR-54)
North Pump Station (AR-56)
Sewer Lift Station (AR-57)
Recycling Center (AR-59)
Water Facilities (AR-58)
Community Facility (use to be determined) (AR-55)
Concept plans for each of these are provided in Figures B.37-B.40. The concept plans should be used as a guide in the final design of each facility as backbone infrastructure improvement plans are prepared.
They are preliminary concept plans and may be changed during the design of the land use plan for parcels AR-56, AR-57, AR-58 and AR-59. Conceptual plans for AR-55 has not been included as the proposed use of the parcel has not been determined. The final design and location of public facilities on these parcels are subject to review and approval of the City of Roseville.
The utility infrastructure facilities shall be designed to avoid conflict with pedestrian and vehicle circulation. The facilities shall be screened from public right-of-ways through the use of walls, fences, planting or a combination of the above.
The fire station (Parcel AR-54) shall be designed to accommodate future buildout with a maximum of three apparatus bays similar to several of the City’s other fire stations, although during the initial construction, all three bays may not be built. The concept site plan shall include but not limited to driveways, gate access, landscaping, guest parking and other ancillary structures normally provided at a fire station. Turning movements to and from the fire station shall be included to ensure vehicle accessibility from the public streets. A turning radii of 30 and 50, interior and exterior respectively, shall be used as the template.

Title: 649 Riverside Avenue – Infill Parcel 179 - General Plan Amendment and Rezone Contact: Sean Morales 916-774-5282 [email protected] Meeting Date: 4/20/2022
Item #: 10.4.
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
At the February 10, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council take the following actions on the project:
A. Consider the Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR; and B. Adopt a resolution approving land use map amendments to the General Plan; and, C. Adopt the two (2) findings of fact and introduce for first reading an ordinance approving the Rezone.
BACKGROUND
The project site is located at 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue and is identified as Parcel 179 in the City’s Infill area. The site is approximately 3.93 acres in size. The site has a zoning designation of Floodway (FW) and a General Plan land use designation of Community Commercial/Floodplain (CC/FP). The site is bordered on the south and east by Dry Creek and is adjacent to the confluence of Dry Creek and Cirby Creek. The site was once developed with commercial buildings fronting Riverside Avenue on both parcels and had a commercial zoning designation.
However, after flooding in the area in the 1980s, the buildings were razed and the site was given the Floodway zoning designation to discourage future development of structures on the parcels.
One structure remained on the 645 Riverside parcel until the City received grant funding to demolish it in 2019. The site is entirely within the City’s regulatory floodplain, is undeveloped, and consists generally of loose dirt, gravel, and wild grasses. A portion of each parcel includes Dry Creek and the riparian woodland along the banks of the creek. The site is surrounded by Floodway zoning to the north, east, and west and a Community Commercial zone across Dry Creek to the south. After approximately 10 years of community outreach and planning, the Dry Creek East Greenway Trail Project alignment was approved by City Council in 2019. The westernmost portion of the project will include a trailhead on 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue.
The City of Roseville obtained a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program (PDM) grant to reduce the flood risk of 645 Riverside Avenue, and the surrounding area by buying the property with the grant funds, demolishing the commercial building, and returning the parcel to open space. The property owner was able to use the PDM grant funds to purchase a commercial property outside of the regulatory floodplain. A condition of the federal hazard mitigation grant funds required that the City provide assurances that the land would be “restricted in perpetuity to open-space uses.” To ensure that the City follow through on the assurances they gave to FEMA, the parcel at 645 Riverside Avenue is proposed to be converted to an Open Space zone designation. This would enable the City to comply with a deed restriction that was placed on the parcel on January 18, 2018, which was also a condition to receive the grant funds. The grant required deed restriction term and condition indicates “The Property shall be dedicated and maintained in perpetuity as open space for the conservation of natural floodplain functions.”
Current Project
The current project is a request for a General Plan Amendment to modify the Land Use designation from Community Commercial/ Floodplain (CC/FP) to Open Space/Floodplain (OS/FP) and a request to Rezone the site to modify the zoning from Floodway (FW) to Open Space/Floodway (OS/FW) in order to comply with the above-described grant funding requirements that will facilitate development of the trailhead for the future Dry Creek Greenway East Trail. A full evaluation of the project is included in the Planning Commission staff report (see Attachment 1).
Summary Evaluation
As detailed in pages 3-5 of the attached Planning Commission staff report, the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone were found to be consistent with the General Plan land use policies and will not adversely affect the public interest, safety, or welfare.
General Plan Amendment
The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project was approved in 2019. Therefore, the below evaluation does not consider whether the trail is appropriate in the existing land use and zoning designations, but rather whether the proposed land use and zoning modifications are appropriate and compatible with the approved trail project. The project site is within the City’s Infill planning area, which is characterized by pre-1980’s urban development. As discussed in the background, the site once consisted of commercial development but after flooding in the area was cleared of structures. The project site is made up of two parcels with a General Plan Land Use designation of Community Commercial/Floodplain (CC/FP). Floodplain is a combining land use designation, and is only applied in combination with another land use to modify the uses and development guidelines of that designation. The project site consists of two of the ten lots that make up Infill Parcel 179, the entirety of which has the CC/FP land use designation. The CC/FP combination is appropriate for some of the other lots within Infill Parcel 179 such as 641 and 643 Riverside Avenue, which continue to operate non-conforming commercial uses. The commercial designation is no longer appropriate for 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue. The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project, approved in 2019, includes development of the project site into a trailhead. Primary uses of the Open Space land use designation include walking and bike trails. The City therefore proposes to modify the land use to OS/FP to bring the land use designation into consistency with the future use of the site, while maintaining the Floodplain combining designation to acknowledge its location within the City’s regulatory floodplain.
Rezone
Because the proposed OS/FP land use designation is found to be appropriate, staff analyzed the consistency of the requested OS/FW zoning with General Plan policies and the proposed OS/FP land use. The City of Roseville General Plan provides a list of compatible “Implementing Zones” for each land use designation (General Plan Table II-10), which establishes what zoning designations are considered compatible with the applicable General Plan land use designation.
The proposed land use designation for the project site is OS/FP. Open Space (OS) is an implementing zone in the OS land use designation. Furthermore, the proposed OS/FW zoning is compatible with the already approved trail use. Trails are considered a Resource Related Recreation use type, which is principally permitted within the OS zone. Biking and hiking trails are also principally permitted uses within the Floodway zone district.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City as it brings the zoning into consistency with the approved Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project and grant funding that will be used to facilitate the development of the trail. The trail project went through a lengthy public outreach process and was ultimately approved by City Council in 2019.
As evaluated and discussed in the Planning Commission staff report and Addendum, there are no significant impacts expected from the proposed General Plan Amendment and Rezone.
Public Outreach
The proposed project was distributed to the various agencies and departments which have requested notice of City applications, and all comments were considered and incorporated into the project as appropriate. Notice of the application was also distributed to the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations. A public notice of the Planning Commission hearing was published on January 28, 2022, and was distributed to all property owners and residents within 300 feet of the project site. Consistent with SB-18, staff consulted local Native American tribes for comment on the project.
Summary of Planning Commission Meeting
The project was heard by the City's Planning Commission on February 10, 2022. Planning staff, acting as representatives of the City, addressed the Commission and requested the Commission make a recommendation of approval to City Council. No public testimony was received at the hearing.
The Planning Commission deliberated on the item and ultimately voted to consider the Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project and recommended the City Council approve the General Plan Amendment and Rezone with a vote of 5 aye, 0 nay, 2 absent.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Rezone and General Plan Land Use Amendment of the site will not result in negative impacts to the City’s General Fund. The project is a requirement of grant funding that was already received.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, regarding previously certified and adopted Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), an Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR (SCH #2014032087, certified March 20, 2019) has been prepared to cover the minor technical changes and additions necessary to describe the impacts of the proposed project.
The Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR is included as Exhibit A of this Council Communication.

SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions:
A. Consider the Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR; B. Recommend the City Council approve the General Plan Amendment; and, C. Recommend the City Council adopt the two (2) findings of fact and approve the Rezone.
SUMMARY OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES
There are no outstanding issues associated with this request.
BACKGROUND
The project site is located at 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue and is identified as Parcel 179 in the City’s Infill area (Figure 1). The site is approximately 3.93 acres in size. The site has a zoning designation of Floodway (FW) and a General Plan land use designation of Community Commercial/Floodplain (CC/FP) (Figure 2). The site is bordered on the south and east by Dry Creek and is adjacent to the confluence of Dry Creek and Cirby Creek. The site was once developed with commercial buildings fronting Riverside Avenue on both parcels and had a commercial zoning designation. However, after flooding in the area in the 1980s, the buildings were razed and the site was given the Floodway zoning designation to discourage future development of structures on the parcels. One structure remained on the 645 Riverside parcel until the City received grant funding to demolish it in 2019. The site is entirely within the City’s regulatory floodplain, is undeveloped, and consists generally of loose dirt, gravel, and wild grasses. A portion of each parcel includes Dry Creek and the riparian woodland along the banks of the creek. The site is surrounded by Floodway zoning to the north, east, and west and a Community Commercial zone across Dry Creek to the south. After approximately 10 years of community outreach and planning, the Dry Creek East Greenway Trail Project alignment was approved by City Council in 2019. The westernmost portion of the project will include a trailhead on 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue.
The City of Roseville obtained a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program (PDM) grant to reduce the flood risk of 645 Riverside Avenue, and the surrounding area by buying the property with the grant funds, demolishing the commercial building, and returning the parcel to open space. The property owner was able to use the PDM grant funds to purchase a commercial property outside of the regulatory floodplain. A condition of the federal hazard mitigation grant funds required that the City provide assurances that the land would be “restricted in perpetuity to open-space uses.” To ensure that the City follow through on the assurances they gave to FEMA, the parcel at 645 Riverside Avenue is proposed to be converted to an Open Space zone designation. This would enable the City to comply with a deed restriction that was placed on the parcel on January 18, CC Attachment 1

2018, which was also a condition to receive the grant funds. One deed restriction term and condition indicates “The Property shall be dedicated and maintained in perpetuity as open space for the conservation of natural floodplain functions.”
The current project is a request to Rezone the site to modify the zoning from Floodway (FW) to Open Space/Floodway (OS/FW) and a General Plan Amendment to modify the Land Use designation from Community Commercial/ Floodplain (CC/FP) to Open Space/Floodplain (OS/FP) in order to comply with the above-described grant funding requirements that will facilitate development of the trailhead for the future Dry Creek Greenway East Trail.

SITE INFORMATION
Location: 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue
Total Size: 3.93 acres
Topography and Setting: The project site is an infill property located in an urbanized setting. The site includes frontage on Riverside Avenue, which is a four-lane roadway. The site is currently undeveloped and does not include a sidewalk. The eastern and southern portions of the site include the banks and riparian woodland along Dry Creek.
EVALUATION: GENERAL PLAN AMEDNMENT AND REZONE
Proposed amendments to the General Plan are analyzed for consistency with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The policies for land use amendments relate to promoting land use patterns that enhance quality of life and minimize conflicts between land uses. Land use modifications are also evaluated for impacts to noise, air quality, traffic, and utilities. These same potential impacts were considered in the Addendum prepared for the project, included as Exhibit A. For the proposed rezone, Zoning Ordinance Section 19.86.050 specifies that recommendations for approval or denial of a rezone shall include consideration of the proposed amendment’s consistency with:

2. The General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
General Plan Amendment
The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project was approved in 2019. Therefore, the below evaluation does not consider whether the trail is appropriate in the existing land use and zoning designations, but rather whether the proposed land use and zoning modifications are appropriate and compatible with the approved trail project. The project site is within the City’s Infill planning area, which is characterized by pre-1980’s urban development. As discussed in the background, the site once consisted of commercial development but after flooding in the area was cleared of structures. The project site is made up of two parcels with a General Plan Land Use designation of Community Commercial/Floodplain (CC/FP).
Floodplain is a combining land use designation, and is only applied in combination with another land use to modify the uses and development guidelines of that designation. The project site consists of two of the ten lots that make up Infill Parcel 179, the entirety of which has the CC/FP land use designation. The CC/FP combination is appropriate for some of the other lots within Parcel 179 such as 641 and 643 Riverside Avenue, which continue to operate non-conforming commercial uses. The commercial designation is no longer appropriate for 645 and 649 Riverside Avenue. The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project, approved in 2019, will include development of the project site into a trailhead. Primary uses of the Open Space land use designation include walking and bike trails. The City therefore proposes to modify the land use to OS/FP to bring the land use designation into consistency with the future use of the site, while maintaining the Floodplain combining designation to acknowledge its location within the City’s regulatory floodplain.
Rezone
Because the proposed OS/FP land use designation is found to be appropriate, staff analyzed the consistency of the requested OS/FW zoning with General Plan policies and the proposed OS/FP land use. The City of Roseville General Plan provides a list of compatible “Implementing Zones” for each land use designation (General Plan Table II-10), which establishes what zoning designations are considered compatible with the applicable General Plan land use designation. The proposed General Plan land use designation for the project site is OS/FP. Open Space (OS) is an implementing zone in the OS land use designation. Furthermore, the proposed OS/FW zoning is compatible with the approved trail use. Trails are considered a Resource Related Recreation use type, which is principally permitted within the OS zone. Biking and hiking trails are also principally permitted uses within the Floodway zone district.
The proposed rezone is consistent with the public interest, health, safety, or welfare of the City as it brings the zoning into consistency with the approved Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project and grant funding that will be used to facilitate the development of the trail. The trail project went through a lengthy public outreach process and was ultimately approved by City Council in 2019.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The proposed project was distributed to the various agencies and departments which have requested notice of City applications, and all comments were considered and incorporated into the project as appropriate. Notice of the application was also distributed to the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations. A public notice of the Planning Commission hearing was published on January 28, 2022, and was distributed to all property owners and residents within 300 feet of the project site. Consistent with SB-18, staff consulted local Native American tribes for comment on the project.

BACKGROUND
The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail (a multi-use trail along Dry, Cirby, and Linda Creeks from Riverside Avenue to Old Auburn Road) is an approved 4.25-mile paved multi-use trail in the City of Roseville (City). The future trail will be a shared-use trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorized vehicle users, and connect neighborhoods, parks, schools, businesses, natural areas, and the on-street bikeway system across the south side of the City. The project includes one new trailhead with accompanying parking lot at the western end of the project with driveway access from Riverside Avenue. The parking lot would include approximately 35 parking spaces. The proposed zoning and land use modifications apply to the two parcels that comprise the trailhead area.
The City of Roseville has received grant funding that would help facilitate the construction of the bike trail, including the trailhead on Riverside Avenue. One of the conditions of the grant is to modify the zoning and land use designation of the two parcels that make-up the trailhead site to include Open Space designations.
Approval of the zoning and land use modifications by the Roseville City Council is a discretionary action that requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). To satisfy CEQA requirements, this EIR Addendum has been prepared.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a proposal by the City of Roseville for a Rezone to modify the zoning from Floodway (FW) to Open Space/Floodway (OS/FW) and a General Plan Amendment to modify the Land Use designation Kenroy Lane

No direct or indirect physical changes to the environment, beyond what was evaluated in the previously certified EIR, are proposed concurrent with the zoning and land use modifications.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF ADDENDUM
INTRODUCTION
The Project Sponsor, the City of Roseville, proposes to modify the zoning of two parcels within the 4.25-mile Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project from Floodway (FW) to Open Space/Floodway (OS/FW) and modify the General Plan Land Use designation from Community Commercial/Floodplain (CC/FP) to Open Space/Floodplain (OS/FP). The proposed zoning and land use modifications are required in order to comply with federal grant funding requirements that would facilitate development of the parcels as a trailhead area for the future Dry Creek Greenway East Trail. The environmental effects of the construction and use of the trailhead are examined in the previously certified Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR (SCH #2014032087, certified March 20, 2019) and in this Addendum. In preparing this Addendum, all of the potential impacts identified on the CEQA "Environmental Checklist Form" were considered. For all impact areas, a preliminary review indicated that the Zoning and Land Use amendments would have no impact not already identified in the EIR.
STATUTORY BACKGROUND
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to a certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is needed if minor technical changes or modifications to the proposed project occur (CEQA Guidelines § 15164). An addendum is appropriate only if these minor technical changes or modifications do not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. The Addendum need not be circulated for public review (CEQA Guidelines § 15164[c]); however, an addendum is to be considered along with the final EIR by the decision making body prior to making a decision on the project (CEQA Guidelines § 15164[d]).
This EIR Addendum demonstrates that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified in the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR remain substantively unchanged by the situation described herein, and supports the finding that the proposed project does not raise any new issues and does not exceed the level of impacts identified in the previous EIR.
APPLICABLE REPORTS IN CIRCULATION
This addendum is written as an addition to the previously certified Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR (SCH #2014032087). Copies of the certified EIR are available for review at the Roseville Development Services Department, 311 Vernon Street, Roseville CA 95678.
EVALUATION
PROJECT ELEMENTS ANALYZED IN THE ORIGINAL EIR
The environmental impacts of constructing the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail, including the trailhead along Riverside Avenue, were evaluated in the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR). Under CEQA, a significant effect on the environment is defined as a substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project, including air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CCR Section 15382). The EIR found that CC Exhibit A
implementation of the proposed project would result in significant impacts to some of these resources, which were analyzed in Sections 4.1 through 4.14 of the document and summarized in Table 2-1.
CCR Section 15126.4 requires that an EIR describe feasible mitigation measures that could minimize significant adverse impacts. Implementation of mitigation measures would either reduce the impact to a lessthan-significant level or leave the impact as significant and unavoidable. In the course of drafting the EIR, impacts were identified that could be reduced to a less-than-significant level with implementation of proposed mitigation measures (see also Chapter 5, “Other CEQA Considerations”). These impacts can be found in sections 4.2, “Air Quality”; 4.3, “Biological Resources”; 4.4, “Cultural Resources”; and 4.7, “Hazards and Hazardous Materials”; 4.10, “Noise”; and 4.13, “Transportation and Circulation.” (Ascent Environmental, 2 Summary, City of Roseville Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project Draft EIR 2-5).
An impact that remains significant after mitigation is considered an unavoidable adverse impact of the proposed project. Two significant and unavoidable impacts were identified in the Final EIR, and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations: Impact 4.10-1: Short-term construction-related noise, and Impact 4.10-3: Exposure to construction-related ground-borne vibrations.
MODIFIED PROJECT AS PROPOSED UNDER THE ZONING AND LAND USE MODIFICATIONS The proposed Rezone and General Plan Amendments would not modify the physical elements of the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail project. Rather, the modifications are a condition of grant funding that was awarded to the City and will facilitate construction of that already approved project. Any modification to the environmental impact by the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would reduce the potential for impacts overall by removing the possibility of future commercial development on the site, and ensuring the site remains open space, and part of the proposed trail system.
IMPACT ANALYSIS
The Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR assessed impacts of construction and operation of the trail project to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise; and Transportation and Circulation. The proposed Rezone and General Plan Amendment do not amend the anticipated construction or operational impacts, therefore there are no new anticipated environmental impacts.
SUMMARY AND FINDINGS
In summary, the analysis concludes that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred, and thus an Addendum to the Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR is appropriate to satisfy CEQA requirements for the proposed Rezone and General Plan Amendment.
The following findings are provided in accordance with CEQA Section 15164 (e) concerning the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162.
(1) None of the following conditions calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred:
(a) Subsequent changes are proposed in a project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR…due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects;
(b) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken…which will require important revisions in the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or,
CC Exhibit A
(c) New information of substantial importance to the project becomes available and (a) the information was not known and could not have been known at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete…and (b) the new information shows any of the following:
• The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed previously in the EIR; • Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; • Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce on or more significant effects of the project; or • Mitigation measures or alternatives which were not previously considered in the EIR would substantially lessen one or more significant effects on the environment. (2) Only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the EIR under consideration adequate under CEQA; and,
(3) The changes to the EIR made by the addendum do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment.
This addendum to the Final Dry Creek Greenway East Trail Project EIR (SCH #2014032087 - certified March 20, 2019) finds that the proposed Rezone and General Plan Amendments to two parcels within the trail system (as identified in this addendum) will not result in any new significant environmental effects or result in the substantial increase of any previously identified impacts in the final EIR.
