Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The applicant is requesting entitlements to subdivide one parcel measuring a total of ±19.58 gross acres into 177 residential lots, and 32 parcels for common lots including alleys, private open space, landscaping, water detention, and a public park. The project site is immediately west of the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail (a Class I multi-use trail), south of Rio Linda Creek and the Walter S. Ueda/Dry Creek Parkway and to the southwest of the Rio Linda Airport.

The project site is currently zoned Agriculture (A) which does not allow for single-unit dwelling development and therefore requires a rezone to the R-2A zoning designation that allows for the proposed residential development. The project also includes a General Plan amendment to redesignate the land from Suburban Neighborhood Low Density (SNLD) to Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD). The SNMD designation allows for higher density that is more compatible with the proposed R-2A zoning and lot sizes. The proposed project requires a recommendation from the Planning and Design Commission and a final decision by the City Council because of the rezone and general plan amendment requests.

Accordingly, this project requires the following entitlements:
1) General Plan Amendment from Suburban Neighborhood Low Density (SNLD) to Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD).
2) Rezone from the Agricultural (A) zone to the Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-2A) zone. 3) Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide one parcel into 177 residential lots, and 32 lots for common facilities including alleys, public and private open space, landscaping, water detention, and a public park.
4) Site Plan and Design Review of the tentative subdivision map with deviations to reduce the minimum required lot depth, lot size, lot coverage, and minimum required public street frontage; and for the construction of 177 single-unit dwellings with five house models/plans and four elevations.

File ID: 2023-00740 6/27/2023 Consent Item 38.
5) Tree Permit to remove 40 City trees and two private protected trees.

Public/Neighborhood Outreach and Comments: As part of the application review process, the proposed project was routed to Preservation Sacramento, Civic Thread (formerly WALKSacramento), Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, Region Builders, House Sac, Environmental Council of Sacramento, Sacramento Housing Alliance, North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, Robla Neighbors United, and Robla Park Community Association.

Staff received comments from Civic Thread, SMAQMD (Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District), and SABA (Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates). All comments received are included in Attachment 15 and are summarized below. Besides general inquiry phone calls from adjacent property owners, staff received no additional comments.

Civic Thread: In their letters, Civic Thread requested that trees are planted strategically along the public streets to provide shade to the unshaded alleys; connections be made from the proposed development to the city bike trail to the east; and improved pedestrian connectivity at the roundabout.

Additionally, they recommended that any proposed fencing on the eastern portions of the property which are adjacent to the bike trail be transparent or removed altogether for easier access to the trail.

Lastly, Civic Thread expressed concern with the lack of commercial in the area that would be easily accessible to residents.

In response to comments received from Civic Thread and City staff, the applicant added access points from the proposed development to the existing Class I bike trail located to the east. As a result, the project has three points of access to the bike trail.

As mentioned in their letter, this area lacks a strong commercial base. With the addition of residential development at a higher density, it is anticipated that commercial development will likely follow because additional rooftops bring in a need for services and increase the amount of disposable income in the area. There are several vacant properties that are zoned for commercial uses along Rio Linda Boulevard.

Lastly, the applicant has provided a landscaping plan which adequately replaces the number of trees removed with new trees proposed along the public streets, at all open space areas, pedestrian paseos, and at the end of the alleys.

SMAQMD: In their letters, the Air District commended the changes made to the proposed project during the review process. The Air District’s recommendations throughout the process included comments requesting improvements be made to the active transportation components of the project, including providing shade for pedestrian paths and providing pedestrian connections to the bike trails.

As mentioned previously the applicant worked throughout the process to ensure that paths to all recreation opportunities, including the bike trail, were convenient to users and were adequately considered in landscaping plans.

SABA: In their letter, SABA expressed their support for the rezone for its effect on easing the housing shortage in Sacramento, particularly through more dense development than the low-density development predominant in the area. SABA also commended the connections to the bike trail but expressed a desire for safer bike lanes in the area.

Public Comments: Staff received and answered questions about the project from nearby property

Public Comments: Staff received and answered questions about the project from nearby property owners. Staff has not received additional comments and there is no known opposition to the project.

Staff posted the site with an early notice sign at time of planning application submittal. Staff also mails public hearing notices to all property owners, residents, and neighborhood groups within 500 feet of the project site and posts the site 10 days prior to the public hearing. At the time of writing this report, staff has not received any additional comments, aside from those mentioned above, on the project in response to the noticing.

Policy Considerations:

General Plan
The proposed General Plan designation for the project site is Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD). Suburban neighborhoods will continue to be the predominant residential development pattern in existing neighborhoods. The SNMD designation provides for low-intensity housing and neighborhood-support uses including detached and attached single-unit residential units and multi-unit dwelling developments. This designation allows for a minimum density of seven dwelling units per net acre and a maximum density of 17 dwelling units per net acre. The proposed project’s density is 14.15 dwelling units per net acre.

Staff finds that the project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:

Goal LU 1.1 Growth and Change. Support sustainable growth and change through orderly and well- planned development that provides for the needs of existing and future residents and business, ensures the effective and equitable provision of public services, and makes efficient use of land and infrastructure.

Policy LU 1.1.1 Regional Leadership. The City shall be the regional leader in sustainable development and encourage compact, higher-density development that conserves land resources, protects habitat, supports transit, reduces vehicle trips, improves air quality, conserves energy and water, and diversifies Sacramento’s housing stock.

Policy LU 1.1.5 Infill Development. The City shall promote and provide incentives (e.g., focused infill planning, zoning/rezoning, revised regulations, provisions of infrastructure) for infill development, reuse, and growth in existing urbanized areas to enhance community character, optimize City investments in infrastructure and community facilities, support increased transit use, promote pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly neighborhoods, increase housing diversity, ensure integrity of historic districts, and enhance retail viability.

This proposed project is a compact, medium density residential development which integrates into the existing community through the provision of pedestrian connections to existing and proposed green spaces, as well as a well-designed road network with a dual-lane roundabout which will accommodate the traffic generated by the project and with anticipation of future traffic expected on Rio Linda Boulevard.

Goal LU 2.1 City of Neighborhoods. Maintain a city of diverse, distinct, and well-structured neighborhoods that meet the community’s needs for complete, sustainable, and high-quality living

File ID: 2023-00740 6/27/2023 Consent Item 38.
environments, form the historic downtown core to well-integrated new growth areas.

Policy LU 2.1.1 Neighborhoods as a Basic Unit. Recognizing that Sacramento’s neighborhoods are the basic living environments that make-up the city’s urban fabric, the City shall strive through its planning and urban design to preserve and enhance their distinctiveness, identity, and livability from the downtown core to well-integrated new growth areas.

Policy LU 2.1.3 Complete and Well-Structured Neighborhoods. The City shall promote the design of complete and well-structured neighborhoods whose physical layout and land use mix promote walking to services, biking, and transit use; foster community pride; enhance neighborhood identity; ensure public safety; are family-friendly and address the needs of all ages and abilities.

Policy LU 2.1.8 Neighborhood Enhancement. The City shall promote infill development, reuse, rehabilitation, and reuse efforts that contribute positively (e.g., architectural design) to existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas.

The project provides an internal circulation network which accounts for the adjacent bicycle trail. The project has been designed and will be conditioned to develop with homes fronting all public streets, with minimal lots that have homes with their “backs” to the public realm.

Goal LU 2.3 City of Trees and Open Spaces. Maintain multi-functional “green infrastructure” consisting of natural areas, open space, urban forest, and parkland, which serves as a defining physical feature of Sacramento, provides visitors and residents with access to open space and recreation, and is designed for environmental sustainability.

Policy LU 2.3.2 Adjacent Development. The City shall require that development adjacent to parks and open spaces complements and benefits from this proximity by:
■Preserving physical and visual access
■Requiring development to front, rather than back, onto these areas ■Using single-loaded streets along the edge to define and accommodate public access ■Providing pedestrian and multi-use trails
■Augmenting non-accessible habitat areas with adjoining functional parkland ■Extending streets perpendicular to parks and open space and not closing off visual and/or physical access with development
■Addressing the operations, maintenance, and public safety needs of the Local Maintaining Agencies (LMA).

Trees and open space are an important facet of the community fabric of Sacramento. This project will remove a number of existing City and private protected trees to accommodate the development; however, the provided landscape plan has been reviewed by the Urban Forestry Division of the Department of Public Works and shows adequate tree replacement throughout the development.

Additionally, the project provides for an interconnected network of pedestrian paths internal to the development and provides three points of access to the existing bike trail to the east. Lastly, the

development and provides three points of access to the existing bike trail to the east. Lastly, the applicant has worked with staff to ensure that the subdivision’slayout minimizes or eliminates lots that back onto private and public open spaces, which is essential for providing “eyes”onto these spaces and creating a safe environment. This is also achieved through the provision of single-loaded streets (streets with homes on one side of the street only) adjacent to the proposed public park.

Goal LU 2.5 City Connected and Accessible. Promote the development of an urban pattern of well -connected, integrated, and accessible neighborhoods corridors, and centers.

Policy LU 2.5.1 Connected Neighborhoods, Corridors, and Centers. The City shall require that new development, both infill and greenfield, maximizes connections and minimizes barriers between neighborhoods corridors, and centers within the city.

Developing this vacant parcel on the periphery of the city will provide an additional tax base to support the commercially zoned parcels along Rio Linda Boulevard. The internal circulation for vehicles and pedestrians will have access to these commercially zoned parcels in addition to amenities surrounding and proposed with the subdivision.

Goal LU 2.6 City Sustained and Renewed. Promote sustainable development and land use practices in both new development, reuse, and reinvestment that provide for the transformation of Sacramento into a sustainable urban city while preserving choices (e.g., where to live, work, and recreate) for future generations.

Policy LU 2.6.1 Sustainable Development Patterns. The City shall promote compact development patterns, mixed use, and higher-development intensities that use land efficiently; reduce pollution and automobile dependence and the expenditure of energy and other resources; and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use.

The proposed project is a higher density residential project with smaller lots ranging in size from 1,949 square feet to 3,257 square feet. Compact development patterns use available land more efficiently. Additionally, with a larger residential base in the area, the project can serve as a catalyst for commercial development along the Rio Linda Boulevard corridor.

Goal LU 2.7 City Form and Structure. Require excellence in the design of the city’s form and structure through development standards and clear design direction.

Policy LU 2.7.4 Public Safety and Community Design. The City shall promote design of neighborhoods, centers, streets, and public spaces that enhances public safety and discourages crime by providing street-fronting uses (“eyes on the street”), adequate lighting and sight lines, and features that cultivate a sense of community ownership.

Policy LU 2.7.6 Walkable Blocks. The City shall require new development and reuse and reinvestment projects to create walkable, pedestrian-scaled blocks, publicly accessible mid- block and alley pedestrian routes where appropriate, and sidewalks appropriately scaled for the anticipated pedestrian use.

The applicant worked with staff to ensure that the proposed subdivision design integrates well with the existing neighborhood and amenities. Internally, the project provides an extensive pedestrian and bicycle network through the provision of pedestrian paths and connections to the existing bike trail to

File ID: 2023-00740 6/27/2023 Consent Item 38.
the east.

Goal LU 4.1 Neighborhoods. Promote the development and preservation of neighborhoods that provide a variety of housing types, densities, and designs and a mix of uses and services that address the diverse needs of Sacramento residents of all ages, socio-economic groups, and abilities.

Policy LU 4.1.3 Walkable Neighborhoods. The City shall require the design and development of neighborhoods that are pedestrian friendly and include features such as short blocks, broad and well-appointed sidewalks (e.g., lighting, landscaping, adequate width), tree- shaded streets, buildings that define and are oriented to adjacent streets and public spaces, limited driveway curb cuts, paseos and pedestrian lanes, alleys, traffic-calming features, convenient pedestrian street crossings, and access to transit.

Policy LU 4.1.8 Connections to Open Space. The City shall ensure that new and existing neighborhoods contain a diverse mix of parks and open spaces that are connected by trails, bikeways, and other open space networks and are within easy walking distance of residents.

This subdivision is designed with an internal network of pedestrian paths in the form of paths through open space and through a pedestrian path at the front of each lot. The provision of these paths between each home ensures a direct connection to each home’s front door and will not force pedestrians to share circulation paths with vehicles. These paths provide direct connections to all proposed public and open spaces as well as providing three points of access to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail which runs parallel to the subject site at the east. This Class I Multi-Use Trail runs north to south from the City boundary and connects to the trail system at the American River Parkway.

Goal M 4.1 Street and Roadway System. Create a context-sensitive street and roadway system that provides access to all users and recognizes the importance that roads and streets play as public space. As such, the City shall strive to balance the needs for personal travel, goods movement, parking, social activities, business activities, and revenue generation, when planning, operating, maintaining, and expanding the roadway network.

Policy M 4.1.6 Roundabouts. Where feasible, the City shall consider roundabouts as an intersection traffic control option with demonstrated air quality, safety, and mobility benefits.

The applicant has proposed a dual lane roundabout where Rio Linda Boulevard intersects with the main access point for the project. The roundabout anticipates future connections to the west. The proposed roundabout has been evaluated by the Department of Public Works for feasibility, safety, and design and has been determined to be appropriate at this intersection.

North Sacramento Community Plan
The project site is located within the North Sacramento Community Plan Area of the General Plan.

The General Plan identifies the Community Plan Area as representing a diversity of suburban residential, light industrial, and contemporary office uses. There is some vacant land in North Sacramento, but parcels are oddly shaped and lack infrastructure, which constrains development potential.

There are no applicable goals or policies in the North Sacramento Community Plan for this project or

area.

Subdivision Review Committee (SRC): The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map and Tentative Subdivision Map Design Deviations were heard by the Subdivision Review Committee on April 19, 2023. The Tentative Subdivision Map conditions of approval were accepted by the applicant, forwarded by the committee to the Planning and Design Commission, and are included as conditions of approval for this project.

Economic Impacts: The proposed subdivision will provide opportunities for residents in the region to purchase market-rate homes in District 1.

Environmental Considerations: The City of Sacramento prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Robla Estates Subdivision project (P21-009). In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the MND was circulated for a 30-day public review period which ended on September 5, 2022. The comment period was also advertised in a newspaper of general circulation. A notice of availability / notice of intent to adopt an MND was posted in the County Clerk’s Office and was sent to applicable regulatory agencies, neighborhood associations, and stakeholders in the project area.

The city received 5 letters/emails during the public comment period. Each of the comments addressed the project site and conditions as they relate to the particular areas of concern of the respective commenting agency, company, or organization. The comments from the City’s Department of Utilities, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Transportation, and Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District are acknowledged by the City and have been considered as part of the project planning and its implementation. The comments received did not identify any new significant effect, increase in severity of an impact identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, or provided significant new information. In response Staff has made clarifications and minor modifications to the MND as reflected in the revised MND and Response to Comments memo posted on the City’s CDD EIR webpage. The revised MND along with the comments and responses do not create any circumstances identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5 that would require recirculation.

The Environmental Services Manager has determined that adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Plan are appropriate actions under the CEQA. The initial study/MND for the project, and the MND revisions, comments and responses are available at the Community Development Department’s EIR webpage located at the following:
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Planning/Environmental/Impact-Reports 200-Year Flood Protection: State Law (SB 5) and Planning and Development Code chapter 17.810 require that the city must make specific findings prior to approving certain entitlements for projects within a flood hazard zone. The purpose is to ensure that new developments will have protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. The project site is within a flood hazard zone and is an area covered by SAFCA’s Improvements to the State Plan of Flood Control System, and specific findings related to the level of protection have been incorporated as part of this project. Even though the project site is within a flood hazard zone, the local flood management agency, SAFCA, has made adequate progress on the construction of a flood protection system that will ensure protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. This is based on the SAFCA Urban level of flood protection plan, adequate progress baseline report, and adequate progress toward an urban level of flood protection engineer’s report that were accepted by

File ID: 2023-00740 6/27/2023 Consent Item 38.
adequate progress toward an urban level of flood protection engineer’s report that were accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2016-0226 on June 21, 2016, and the SAFCA 2022 Adequate Progress Annual Report accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2022-0313 on October 11, 2022.

Sustainability: The project will develop homes on smaller lots which allows for a greater density in the area and contributing to the reduction of vehicle miles traveled with increased connections to the Rio Linda Bike Trail.

Commission/Committee Action: On May 25, 2023, the Planning and Design Commission passed a unanimous motion recommending approval of the project to the City Council.

Rationale for Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve the requested entitlements based on the findings of fact and conditions of approval attached to this report. Planning staff supports the Robla Estates Subdivision project as it is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and offers the city and the area much needed housing, public park space, and occupies a large vacant and underutilized site. Additionally, with development of residential in this area it is likely that with the added tax base there will be a need for services in the area that can spur development at the commercially zoned properties along Rio Linda Boulevard.

Financial Considerations: Not Applicable.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): No goods or services are being purchased under this report.

Number of Units: 177

Land Use Context
The surrounding area consists of a n eclectic mix of uses including residential, rural residential, a school, agricultural uses, drainage creeks, and vacant land. The subject site is at the northern edge of the City’s boundary with many remaining infill opportunities. The surrounding area is comprised of older rural residential properties and more recent subdivisions from the past 20 years . Parcels along Rio Linda B oulevard are zoned a combination of commercial and residential. A multi-unit residential development with 43 units has been approved immediately south of the subject site (DR20-219).

To the east of the site is the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail, a city-owned Class I multi- use trail which was once the old right -of-way for the Northern Electric Railroad and Sacramento Northern Railroad. To the north is Rio Linda Creek and the Walter S.

Ueda/Dry Creek Parkway and to the northwest is the Rio Linda Airport.

Entitlement Review
To develop the project as proposed, the following entitlements are required: General Plan Amendment, Rezone, Tentative Subdivision Map, Site Plan and Design Review , and a Tree Permit.

General Plan Amendment
The City’s General Plan catego rizes land into specific designations based on several characteristics of the existing neighborhood. These land use designations prescribe development intensity standards in terms of density for residential project and floor area ratio (FAR) for commercial/mixed-use development.

The subject site’s current General Plan land use designation is Suburban Neighborhood Low Density (SNLD). This designation provides for low -intensity housing and neighborhood-support uses including single -unit detached and attached dwellings, accessory dwelling units, limited neighborhood-serving commercial, and other compatible public, quasi -public, and special uses. This designation allows a residential dwelling density between three to eight dwelling units per net acre.

This project proposes a density of 14.15 dwelling units per net acre, higher than allowed in the SNLD designation. Accordingly, t his project includes a request to change the designation to Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD) which allows a dwelling density between seven to 17 dwelling units per net acre. Like the SNLD designation, the SNMD designation allows single-unit detached and attached dwellings, accessory dwelling units, limited neighborhood -serving commercial, and other compatible public, quasi-public, and special uses. In addition, this designation allows for multi-unit dwellings.

The proposed SNMD designation is a compatible designation for the proposed density and is consistent with the proposed zoning of R-2A.

To approve an amendment to a General Plan land use designation, the City Council must make the following findings: the proposed amendment is consistent with general plan goals and policies, the amendment promotes the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the city, and the zoning classification of the subject parcel is consistent with the proposed general plan land use designation. Staff finds that the proposed development is consistent with the required findings in that the proposed development is surrounded by compatible residential land uses and densities, public uses such as a Rio Linda Bike Trail, the R-2A zoning designation allows development of single-unit dwellings, and the development provides quality architecture, design, and materials.

Rezone
The site is currently zoned Agriculture (A), which restricts the use of land to agriculture and farming and lot sizes to a minimum of five acres in size. The zone is also considered an open space zone. Properties in this zoning designation will be considered for reclassification when proposed with urban development that is consistent with the general plan.

To accommodate 177 single-unit dwellings on 19.58 acres, the applicant is proposing to rezone the subject site to Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-2A) zone which allows for the proposed single-unit development.

Similar to the findings Council must make for a General Plan Amendment, staff finds that the rezone is consistent and compatible with the proposed general plan designation of Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD) and its goals, policies, and urban form, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the surrounding neighborhood . Rezoning the property will allow for the development of a single-unit dwelling subdivision on a vacant site that maximizes the existing infrastructure while also extending existing infrastructure where necessary. The proposed rezone to the R-2A zone is an appropriate pairing with the SNMD designation as both allow residential development at a density not exceeding 17 dwelling units per net acre. The R-2A zone also allows for smaller lot sizes and reduced setbacks to provide a higher density detached housing product that is proposed with this project.

Tentative Subdivision Map
The project subdivides two parcels totaling ±19.58 gross acres into 177 lots proposed for residential development, and 32 lots for common facilities including alleys, public and private open space, landscaping, water detention, and a public park.

The R-2A zone has minimum requiremen ts for lot size, width, and depth as detailed in Table 2. This project requests deviations to R-2A development requirements for lot size, and lot depth.

3Lots deviating: All lots.

Staff supports the proposed deviations as the project provides compact residential development. With smaller lots, these properties become more affordable by design , broaden the housing options available in the area, and will provide additional opportunities for homeownership in a developing part of the city. The deviations are consistent with the purpose and intent of the Planning and Development Code (Title 17) in that they enable the construction of detached single-unit dwellings that comply with the setback requirements of the R -2A zone while also providing adequate pedestrian infrastructure, open space, and landscaping throughout the development.

The project proposes 32 common lots that includes private open space, landscaping and parking (Lots E, H-O), a drainage basin (Lot B), pedestrian trails (Lot F, G), and landscape buffers (Lot C and D); and 18 lots for private driveways (Lots N-1 – N-18). Additionally, this project will provide a 1.61 -acre public park (Lot A). The project is conditioned to assure common lots are maintained through Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and a Homeowners Association (HOA).

All lots, except for Lots 4, 5, 9 -16, 20, 21, 29, 35, 36, 43, 44, 52, 53, 63, 64, 75 -89, 96, 97, 104, 105, 121, 122, 129, 130, 137, 138, 145, 146, and 154, require a Tentative Map Design Deviation for having no public street frontage. Per City Code section 17.500.010 all residentially zoned lots shall have no less than 20 feet of public street frontage, approved private street frontage, or alleys. All lots, excepting those listed above, have access via a series of private driveways (Lots N-1 to N-18) and pedestrian paseos.

Planning and Public Works staff support this deviation because the project will provide adequate access via private driveway s with reciprocal access easements. Additionally, the use of the private driveways for access allows the site to be developed with more residential units which supports General Plan goals to create more and diverse housing units.

Site Plan and Design Review
The purpose and intent of the Site Plan and Design Review entitlement is to ensure that the project proposal complies with the relevant development standards of the underlying zone, the R -2A zone, and all applicable design guidelines for new single -unit dwelling communities.

This project requests deviations to lot coverage requirements in the R -2A zone. In this zone the maximum lot coverage allowed is 50%. This project proposes lot coverage in the range of 37.9% to 68.8%. Because the proposed lots are smaller than allowed in the R-2A zone, it is expected that some homes will occupy a larger portion of the lots and result in this deviation. Staff finds these deviations are consistent with the purpose and intent of Title 17 because the development provides open space throughout, has provided adequate pedestrian infrastructure, and diversity in housing types are important for the City to achieve its housing goals. There are no other deviations requested to R -2A standards.

The subdivision’s configuration can adequately serve all residents’ needs including adequate street and pedestrian access, sufficient space and safe access for solid waste pickup, emergency vehicle access, and minimizing the number of lots which bac k on to open space or right -of-way. The final layout maximizes visibility onto the public right -of- way, public and private recreation areas, and integrates itself into the existing community fabric.

Site Access and Circulation
The project site is triangular and bounded by Rio Linda Boulevard (arterial road) to the west, the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail (a Class I multi -use trail) to the east, and Rio Linda Creek and the Walter S. Ueda/Dry Creek Parkway to the north. To the northeast of the site is Rio Linda Airport, a small regional airport. A multi-unit residential development was recently approved immediately south of the site.

The site will have vehicular access via two roads which will intersect at Rio Linda Boulevard (Street A, Circle B). At the south, a dual lane roundabout is proposed which will connect Rio Linda Boulevard with Circle B. Circle B loops throughout the site. The roundabout has been designed and analyzed to anticipate future development to the west. Access to the bike trail is available from three of the proposed driveways. These bike trail connections are required as conditions of approval.

In addition to the ingress/egress locations mentioned above, a shared driveway (N-18) is proposed between the subject site and the apartment project to the south.

Internally, Circle B loops throughout the site and Street A provides a second point of access to Rio Linda Boulevard from Circle B. Homes have frontage either on the public streets, the open spaces, or internally via a series of pedestrian access easements. The proposed houses have garages at the rear of the property which can be accessed via the proposed driveways, which are shared by multiple houses.

As mentioned above, all homes have front door access either at one of the proposed public roads (Street A, Circle B) or via a network of pedestrian access easements which are proposed throughout the site. Each lot not fronting a public street provides a 10-foot- wide pedestrian access easement at the front of the property, creati ng 20 -foot-wide pedestrian paths which serve as the sidewalk for those properties not on a public street.

At the rear of each property is a shared driveway where vehicles can access each home’s two-car garage. See Figure 3, below, for an example from the project site plan illustrating the driveways and pedestrian access easements (yellow with black outline).

Figure 3 – Circulation Example

Driveway
Open Space
Single-unit developments are typically not required to provide open spaces, unlike multi- unit developments. Because of the size of the project , however, the development must provide public space in the form of a park and provides open space in the form of private open space located throughout the site. The open spaces consist of tree canopy and walking paths and provide a robust pedestrian connection at the interior.

Architecture Analysis
The applicant is proposing to construct 177 detached single-unit dwellings and associated site improvements on a vacant site. The project proposes five floor plans, ranging in size from 1,740 SF to 2,021 SF and four elevation types (see Figure 4). The home types vary in size and style depending on their location, either an end unit or an interior unit. Also, depending on their location and lot typ e, some homes include their entry at the side elevation rather than at what would be considered the front of the building (see Figure 5).

Each floor plan has a kitchen, dining area and living space, and half bathroom downstairs, a 2-car garage at the rear, and bedrooms and bathrooms on the second level. Two home types feature a covered patio on the second floor.

Tree Permit
Pursuant to Sacramento City Code (SCC) 12.56, the removal of private protected trees and/or City trees requires a tree removal permit. This project proposes to remove 40 trees growing on City property and two protected trees on private property . The trees meet the definition of a protected tree.

The City trees proposed for removal are listed as trees 13496, 13497, 2502/13472, 2503/13473, 2504/13483, 2505/13484, 391/13485, 393/13486, 2507/13487, 2510/13488, 2513/13489, 2515/13491, 2518/13492, 2519, 2516, 13494, 2525/13496, 1/13501, 7342/13502, 102, 103, 104, 119, 100, 101, 2281, 2282, 2283, 2284, 2285, 2286, 2506, 2520, 2523, 2524, 2526, 7340, 7341, 7343, 7344 in the arborist report and related exhibits for the project. The trees include Green Ash, Valley Oak, Chinese Elm, Tree of Heaven, Freemont, Black Walnut, Black Willow, Almond, Green Ash, and Blue Oak trees. These trees are proposed for removal because their placement conflicts with the most logical location for the proposed streets. Replacement trees will be an improvement to the canopy coverage in the general area.

Additionally, this project proposes to remove 2 private protected trees. These trees meet the definition of private protected trees. The protected trees proposed for removal are listed as trees 2509, and 7332, in the arborist report and related exhibits. The trees are Valley Oak and Black Willow trees.

The applicant has requested a replacement waiver for 418 inches (out of a total of 530) of trees to be removed due to health, structure, or conditions of the trees. The applicant is required to replace 112 inches of trees.

The applicant has provided a landscape plan that is consistent with the rep lacement requirements described in tree ordinance in that it includes sufficient 15 -gallon tree plantings equivalent to 87 trees in the right-of-way and 25 trees within the project site.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
June 27, 2023

ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND THE MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN FOR THE ROBLA ESTATES SUBDIVISION PROJECT (P21- 009) (226-0062-014-0000)

BACKGROUND
A. On May 25, 2023, the City Planning and Design Commission reviewed and considered the mitigated negative declaration and conducted a public hearing on, and forwarded to the City Council, a recommendation to approve with conditions the Robla Estates Subdivision Project (the Project) (P21-009).

B. On June 27, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing, for which notice was given under Sacramento City Code Section 17.812.010(2)(b).

BASED ON THE FACTS S ET FORTH IN THE BACK GROUND, THE CITY COU NCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council finds as follows:

A. The Project initial study identified potentially significant effects of the Project.

Revisions to the Project made by or agreed to by the Project applicant before the proposed mitigated negative declaration and initial study were released for public review were determined by City’s Environmental Planning Services to avoid or reduce the potentially significant effects to a less than significant level, and, therefore, there was no substantial evidence that the Pro ject as revised and conditioned would have a significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Project was then completed, noticed, and circulated in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the Sacramento Local Environmental Procedures as follows:

1. On August 5, 2022, a Notice of Intent to Adopt the MND (NOI) was circulated for public comments for 30 days. The NOI was sent to those public agencies that have jurisdiction by law with respect to the proposed project and to other interested parties and agencies, including property owners within 500 feet of the boundaries of the proposed project. The comments of such persons and agencies were sought.

2. On August 5, 2022, the NOI was published in the Sacramento Bulletin, a newspaper of general circulation, and the NOI was posted in the office of the Sacramento County Clerk.

3. The Initial Study was revised after public notice of availability; however, none of the conditions requiring recirculation (CEQA Guidelines section 15073.5(b)) is applicable to the project. The revisions included modifications to the mitigation measures for air quality to include an equipment list to the City and the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District prior to ground disturbance activities and at the conclusion of project construction. Additionally, modifications to mitigation measures in the Biological Resources section have been made to address consistency with California Department of Fish and Wildlife guidance on Swainson’s hawk.

4. These revisions do not result in new avoidable significant effects, and the new information added to the Mitigated Negative Declaration makes clarifications and insignificant modifications.

Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the MND, including the initial study, the revisions and conditions incorporated into the Project, and the comments received during the public review process and the hearing on the Project. The City Council has determined that the MND constitutes an adequate, accurate, objective, and complete review of the environmental effects of the proposed project.

Section 3. Based on its review of the MND and on the basis of the whole record, the City Council finds that the MND reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis and that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment.

Section 4. The City Council adopts the MND for the project.

Section 5. Pursuant to CEQA section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines section 15074, and in support of its approval of the Project, the City Council adopts a Mitigation Monitoring Plan to require all reasonably feasible mitigation measures be implemented by means of Project conditions, agreements, or other measures, as set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan.

Section 6. Upon approval of the Project, the City Manager shall file or cause to be filed a Notice of Determination with the Sacramento County Clerk and, if the project requires a discretionary approval from any state agency, with the State Office of Planning and Research, pursuant to section 21152(a) of the Public Resources Code and section 15075 of the State EIR Guidelines adopted pursuant thereto.

Section 7. Pursuant to Guidelines section 15091(e), the documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council has based its decision are located in and may be obtained from, the Office of the City Clerk at 915 I Street, Sacramento, California. The City Clerk is the custodian of records for all matters before the City Council

MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN

1 Robla Estates Project (P21-009)
Mitigation Monitoring Plan

In January 1989, Assembly Bill (AB) 3180 went into effect requiring the City to monitor all mitigation measures applicable to this project and included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. For this project, mitigation reporting will be performed by the City of Sacramento in accordance with the monitoring and reporting program developed by the City to implement AB 3180.

This Mitigation Monitoring Plan is being prepared for the City of Sacramento Community Development Department, Environmental Planning Services, 300 Richards Boulevard, 3 rd Floor, Sacramento, CA 95811,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, California Public Resources Code 21081.

Project Name (number): Robla Estates Project (P21-009)

Project Location: 5330 Rio Linda Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95838 Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 226-0062-004, -008, -009, and -011

Project Description: The Robla Estates Project (proposed project) would include development of 177 two-story single-unit residences and two public parks, as well as a detention basin in the northwest corner of the project site. The main access point to the site would be provided from Rio Linda Boulevard through a new roundabout intersection to be located in the southern portion of the site, which would connect to the proposed internal roadway. A secondary access point would be provided from Rio Linda Boulevard in the northern portion of the site. The proposed internal roadway network would also include a number of private alleys from the main internal roadway. The proposed project would include a number of im provements to Rio Linda Boulevard along the project site’s frontage, including landscaping, widening of the existing bicycle lane, a planter sidewalk, open iron fencing, and a masonry block wall. The proposed project would require approval of an amendment to the General Plan, Rezone, a Tentative Subdivision Map, and Site Plan and Design Review, with deviations for single-unit residential lot depth and area.

Burrowing Owl

3-2 A qualified biologist shall conduc t Take Avoidance Surveys at the project site in accordance with Appendix D of the Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation (CDFW 2012). An initial Take Avoidance Survey shall be conducted no less than 14 days prior to initiating ground disturbance activities and a final survey shall be conducted within 24 hours prior to ground di sturbance. The preconstruction survey for burrowing owls shall include all potential burrowing owl habitat within 500 feet of the projec t. Portions of the survey area located on private land shall be surveyed from all publicly accessible areas. A written summary of the survey results shall be submitted to the City of Sacramento Community Development Department before any construction permits are issued. If burrowing owl are not detected during pre-construction surv eys, further mitigation is not required. If active burrowing owl burrows are found, the following measures shall be implemented at the project site:

 During the non-breeding season (September 1 through
January 31), the biologist s hall establish a 160-foot ESA around the burrow. During the breeding season (February 1 through August 31), the biologist shall establish a 300- foot ESA around the burrow in consultation with CDFW.
 The size of the ESA may be reduced if t he biologist
monitors the construction activities and determines that disturbance to the burrowing owl is not occurring. Reduction of ESA size depends on the location of the burrow relative to the proposed disturbance area, project activities during

unsuccessful, or juveniles fr om the occupied burrows are foraging independently and are capable of independent
survival.

Nesting Raptors and Migratory Birds

3-3 If tree removal or other ground-disturbing activities are to begin during the breeding/nesting season for raptors or other protected bird species in the region (generally February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall be retained by the project applicant to conduct pre-construction surveys in areas of suitable nesting habitat within two weeks prior to initiation of tree removal or ground disturbance. The pre-construction surveys shall be submitted to the City’s Community Development Department. If active nests are not found, further mitigation is not requi red. If active nests are found, the construction contractor shall avoid impacts on such nests by establishing a no-disturbance buffer around the nest. The appropriate buffer size for all nesting birds shall be determined by a qualified biologist. Buffer size will vary depending on site-specific conditions, the species of nesting bird, nature of the project activity, the extent of existing disturbanc e in the area, visibility of the disturbance from the nest site, and other relevant circumstances.

Construction activity shall not occur within the buffer area of an active nest and nests shall be monitored by a qualified biologist until a qualified biologist confirms t hat the chicks have fledged and are no longer dependent on the nest, or the nesting c

4. Cultural Resources
4-1 In the Event that Cultural Resources are Discovered During Construction, Implement Procedures to Evaluate Cultural Resources and Implement Avoidance and Minimization
Measures to Avoid Significant Impact.

If archaeological resources, or paleontological resources, are encountered in the project area during construction, the following performance standards shall be met prior to continuance of construction and associated activities that may result in damage to or destruction of cultural resources:

 Each resource will be evaluated for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility through application of established eligibility cr iteria (California Code of Regulations 15064.636), in consultation with consulting Native American Tribes.

If a cultural resource is determined to be eligible for listing on the CRHR, the City will avoid damaging effects to the resource in accordance with California PRC Se ction 21084.3, if feasible. If the City determines that the project may cause a significant impact to a cultural resource, and measures are not otherwise identified in the consultation process, the following are examples of mitigation capable of avoiding or substantially lessening potential significant impacts to a cultural resource or alternatives that would avoid significant impacts to the resource. These measures may be considered to avoid or minimize significant adverse impacts and constitute the standard by which an impact conclusion of less-than significant may be reached:

 Avoid and preserve resources in place, including, but not limited to, planning construction to avoid the resources and protect the cultural and natural context, or planning

greenspace, parks, or other open space, to incorporate the resources with culturally appropriate protection and
management criteria.
 Treat the resource with culturally appropriate dignity taking into account the cultural values and meaning of the
resource, including, but not limited to, the following:

o Protect the cultural character and integrity of the
resource.
o Protect the traditional use of the resource.
o Protect the confidentiality of the resource.
o Establish permanent conservation easements or
other interests in real property, with culturally
appropriate management criteria for the purposes
of preserving or using the resources or places.
o Rebury the resource in place.
o Protect the resource.

Avoidance and preservation in place is the preferred manner of mitigating impacts to archaeological resources and paleontological resources will be accomplished, if feasible, by several alternative means, including:

 Planning construction to avoid cultural resources,
archaeological sites and/ or other resources; incorporating sites within parks, green-space or other open space;
covering archaeological sites; deeding a site to a
permanent conservation easement; or other preservation
and protection methods agreeable to consulting parties and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the activity.  The construction contractor(s ) will install and maintain protective fencing throughout construction to avoid the site during all remaining phases of construction. The area will be demarcated as an “Environmentally Sensitive Area”.

To implement these avoidance and minimization standards, the following procedures shall be followed in the event of the discovery of an archaeological or paleontological resource:

 At the developer’s expense, the City shall coordinate the investigation of the find with a qualified (meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Qualification Standards for Archaeology) archaeologist approved by the City. As part of the site investigation and re source assessment, the City and the archaeologist shall assess the significance of the find, make recommendations for further evaluation and
treatment as necessary and provide proper management
recommendations should potential impacts to the resources be determined by the City to be significant. A written report detailing the site assessment, coordination activities, and management recommendations shall be provided to the
City representative by the qualified archaeologist. These recommendations will be documented in the project record.  The City shall consider management recommendations for tribal cultural resources, including Native American
archaeological resources, that are deemed appropriate,
including resource avoidance or, where avoidance is
infeasible in light of project design or layout or is
unnecessary to avoid significant effects, preservation in place or other measures. The contractor shall implement any measures deemed by the City to be necessary and

The contractor shall implement any measures deemed by CEQA lead agency (The City) to be necessary and feasible to preserve in place, avoid, or minimize signifi cant effects to the resources, including the use of a paid Native American Monitor during ground disturbing activities.

13-2 In the Event that Tribal Cultural Resources are Discovered During Construction, Implement Procedures to Evaluate Tribal Cultural Resources and Implement Avoidance and
Minimization Measures to Avoid Significant Impact.

If archaeological resources, or tr ibal cultural resources, are encountered in the project area during construction, the following performance standards shall be met prior to continuance of construction and associated activities that may result in damage to or destruction of tribal cultural resources:

 Each resource will be evaluated for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility through application of established eligibility cr iteria (California Code of Regulations 15064.636), in consultation with consulting Native American Tribes.

If a tribal cultural resource is determined to be eligible for listing on the CRHR, the City will avoid damagi ng effects to the resource in accordance with California PRC Se ction 21084.3, if feasible. If the City determines that the project may cause a significant impact to a tribal cultural resource, and measures are not otherwise identified in the consultation process, the following are examples of mitigation capable of avoiding or substantially lessening potential significant impacts to a tribal cultural resource or alternatives that would avoid significant impacts to the resource. These measures may be considered to avoid or minimize significant adverse impacts and constitute the standard by which an impact conclusion of less-than significant may be reached:

considerations, and the extent to which avoidance is
consistent with project objectives. Avoidance and design alternatives may include realignment within the project area to avoid cultural resources, modification of the design to eliminate or reduce impacts to cultural resources or
modification or realignment to avoid highly significant features within a cultural resource.
 Native American Representatives from interested culturally affiliated Native American Tribes will be allowed to review and comment on these analyses and shall have the
opportunity to meet with the City representative and its representatives who have technical expertise to identify and recommend feasible avoidance and design alternatives, so that appropriate and feasible avoidance and design
alternatives can be identified.
 If the discovered resource can be avoided, the construction contractor(s), will install protective fencing outside the site boundary, including a 100-foot buffer area, before
construction restarts. The boundary of a tribal cultural resource or a Native American archaeological site will be determined in consultation with interested culturally
affiliated Native American Tribes and such Tribes will be invited to monitor the installation of fencing. Use of
temporary and permanent forms of protective fencing will be determined in consultation with Native American
Representatives from interested culturally affiliated Native American Tribes.
 The construction contractor(s) will maintain the protective fencing throughout construction to avoid the site during all remaining phases of construction. The area will be

A. On May 25, 2023, the City Planning and Design Commission conducted a public hearing on, and forwarded to the City Council, a recommendation to approve the Robla Estates Project.

B. On June 27, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing, for which notice was given under Sacramento City Code Section 17.812.010(2)(b).

BASED ON THE FACTS S ET FORTH IN THE BACK GROUND, THE CITY COU NCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Based on the verbal and documentary evidence received at the hearing on the Robla Estates Subdivision Project (Project), the City Council approves the Project entitlements based on the findings of fact and subject to the conditions of approval as set forth below.

Section 2. The City Council approves the Project entitlements based on the following findings of fact:

A. Environmental Determination: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination for the project has been adopted by Resolution No. ______.

B. General Plan Amendment: Amendment to change the General Plan land use designation from Suburban Neighborhood Low Density (SNLD) to Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD) has been adopted by Resolution No. ___.

C. Rezone: The rezoning of ±19.58 acres from the Agriculture zone (A) to the Multi - Unit Dwelling zone (R-2A) has been adopted by Ordinance No. ______.

D. Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide one parcel into 177 residential lots, and 32 lots for common facilities including alleys, public and private open space, landscaping, water detention, and a public park is ap proved based on the following Findings of Fact:

1. None of the conditions described in Government Code section 66476 exist with respect to the proposed subdivision as follows:
a. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan, all applicable community and specific plans, Title 17 of the City Code, and all other applicable provisions of the City Code.
b. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan, and all applicable community and specific plans, Title 17 of the City Code, and all other applicable provisions of the City Code. c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. e. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
f. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
g. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

2. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, all applicable community and specific plans, Title 17 of the City Code, and all other applicable provisions of the City Code (Gov. Code §66473.5).

3. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing community sewer system will not result in a violation of the applicable waste discharge requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Board, Central Valley Region, in that existing treatment plants have a design capacity adequate to service the proposed subdivision (Gov. Code §66474.6).

4. The design of the proposed subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities (Gov. Code §66473.1).

5. The City has considered the effect of the approval of this tentative subdivision map on the housing needs of the region and has balanced these needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources (Gov. Code §66412.3).

E. Site Plan and Design Review of the tentative subdivision map with deviations to reduce the minimum required lot depth, lot size, lot coverage, and minimum required public street frontage; and for the construction of 177 single-unit dwellings with five house models/plans and four elevations is approved based on the following Findings of Fact:

1. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are consistent with the proposed general plan designation of Suburban Neighborhood Medium Density (SNMD) in that this designation allows for single-unit dwelling subdivision at a density of between 7-17 dwelling units per net acre. This project proposes a density of 14.54 dwelling units per net acre; and

2. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of proposed development are consistent with the purpose and intent of the applicable design guidelines and development standards in that the project layout has been evaluated for circulation, lot and home orientation and design, and relationship with the surrounding community. While the proposed subdivision requests deviations to lot size, lot depth, and lot coverage, as well as deviations to the minimum required public street frontage it meets the purpose and intent of the guidelines in that adequate pedestrian infrastructure is provided, the project meets the required setbacks, and there is a minimal number of lots which back onto public and private open spaces and the public right of way. With homes engaging public spaces there are additional “eyes” onto the community, which increases public safety and makes for a better place to live.

Additionally, each lot has adequate access to the public right-of-way via a series of private driveways.

3. All streets and other public access ways and facilities, parking facilities, and utility infrastructure are adequate to serve the proposed development and comply with all applicable design guidelines and development standards in that in that all streets are designed to adopted street standards and has been reviewed by the Traffic Engineering Division of Public Works. Additionally, this development will provide three points of access to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail; and

4. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are visually and functionally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in that the proposed layout accounts for safe and efficient vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation while providing natural surveillance on public and private open spaces; and

5. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development ensure energy consumption is minimized and use of renewable energy sources is encouraged in that all new construction must meet Title 24 requirements for sustainability and green building; and

6. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are not detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare of persons residing, working, visiting, or recreating in the surrounding neighborhood and will not result in the creation of a nuisance in that the proposed layout accounts for safe and efficient vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation while providing natural surveillance on public and private open spaces.

F. Tree Permit to remove 40 city street trees and 2 private protected trees is approved based on the following findings of fact:

1. The location of 40 protected City trees (Trees # 13496, 13497, 2502/13472, 2503/13473, 2504/13483, 2505/13484, 391/13485, 393/13486, 2507/13487, 2510/13488, 2513/13489, 2515/13491, 2518/13492, 2519, 2516, 13494, 2525/13496, 1/13501, 7342/13502, 102, 103, 104, 119, 100, 101, 2281, 2282, 2283, 2284, 2285, 2286, 2506, 2520, 2523, 2524, 2526, 7340, 7341, 7343, 7344) conflict with the most feasible placement of the proposed roads and other improvements.

2. The location of 2 private protected trees (Trees # 2509 and 7332) conflict with the most feasible placement of the proposed roads and residential structures.

3. The landscape plan is consistent with the standards set forth in section

12.56.060 of the Tree Planting, Maintenance and Conservation Ordinance.

G. 200-Year Flood Protection

1. The project site is within a flood hazard zone and is an area covered by SAFCA’s Improvements to the State Plan of Flood Control System, and specific findings related to the level of protection have been incorporated as part of this project. Even though the project site is within a flood hazard zone, the local flood management agency, SAFCA, has made adequate progress on the construction of a flood protection system that will ensure protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. This is based on the SAFCA Urban level of flood protection plan, adequate progress baseline report, and adequate progress toward an urban level of flood protection engineer’s report that were accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2016-0226 on June 21, 2016, and the SAFCA 2022 Adequate Progress Annual Report accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2022-0313 on October 11, 2022.

ADVISORIES:

E115. Water meter boxes located in driveways shall be traffic rated per the requirements of the City Standard Specifications.

E116. The proposed project is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), designated as AE zone by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). City Code Chapter 15.104 Floodplain Management Regulations require that any new construction of and/or substantial improvement to any residential structure located in AE zone must have the lowest floor, including the basement, elevated a minimum of one (1) foot above the base flood elevation BFE. Commercial structures have the option of floodproofing (Floodproofing Certificate will be required) to one (1) foot above the BFE in lieu of the elevation requirement. New construction of and/or substantial improvement to any residential or commercial structure will require a Hold Harmless Agreement and an Elevation Certificate.

E117. The applicant is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, easements, and approvals from federal, state, and local agencies for the construction of this project.

E118. The proposed development is located within the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA). The applicant shall comply with all SAFCA requirements and pay all required fees.

E119. The applicant shall coordinate with SAFCA to establish the minimum setback requirements for buildings or other improvements from the existing SAFCA levee.

The SAFCA minimum setback requirements shall be obtained in writing and provided to the DOU.

E120. City of Sacramento permits must be obtained for private patrol, alarms, and camera systems.

E121. As per City Code, the applicant will be responsible to meet his/her obligations regarding:
a. Title 17, 17.512 Park Dedication / In Lieu (Quimby) Fees, due prior to recordation of the final map. The Quimby fee due for this project is estimated at $201,780. This is based on the creation of 177 new parcels at an average land value of $100,000 per acre for the North Sacramento Community Plan Area, plus an additional 20% for off-site park infrastructure improvements. Any change in these factors will change the amount of the Quimby fee due. The final fee is calculated using factors at the time of payment. The fee is due at the time of the final map. This project will be subject to a Quimby In-Lieu fee if no parkland dedication is included with the phased map.
b. The Quimby In-Lieu fee due for this project would be offset by a credit of

1.68 acres for the required parkland dedication, or payment of in-lieu fees of $201,780 for the land dedication of Lot A. The land dedication shall apply to the net acreage of Lot A.
c. Title 18, 18.56 Park Development Impact Fee, due at the time of issuance of building permit. The Park Development Impact Fee is estimated at $655,785. The Park Development Impact Fee due for this project is based on the Housing Incentive Zone Rate of $1.86 per square foot for residential projects, with a minimum rate of $1,389 for units under 750 square feet and a maximum of $3,705 for units over 2,000 square feet.

Any change in these factors will change the amount of the PIF due. The fee is calculated using factors at the time that the project is submitted for building permit.
d. Community Facilities District 2002-02, Neighborhood Park Maintenance CFD Annexation.
e. On the Tentative Subdivision Map, include descriptive information about which lots are private open space, private landscape lots, public space, and detention basins. None of the private lots, medians/landscape lots, or roundabout lots count towards the Quimby parkland dedication obligation.

The Tentative Subdivision Map should state the following:
i. Public Park (YPCE maintained) (note that Lot A is the only YPCE maintained public park)
ii. Private Parks (privately maintained) (i.e., Lot F, E, and G) iii. Planter areas (privately maintained)
iv. Landscape areas (privately maintained) (i.e., Lot D and Lot C) v. Detention basin (privately maintained)
f. The applicant should ensure clearly marked trail access, i.e., signage, from the Robla Estates development to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail.
g. The project would likely receive Citywide Park Impact Fee credit (Turnkey Park Development, Item 7 above) for a public access/pedestrian easement from Rio Linda Blvd. to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail to the east of the project site, with the bike trail connection to the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail.
h. If feasible, make the bike path connection from the front of the homes, not from the garage/alley way.
i. If feasible, the park site should be a full block with housing development facing the park and open spaces to have “eyes on park” for increased security and safety.

E122. The City of Sacramento (City) is responsible for providing local sewer service to the proposed project site via their local sanitary sewer collection system.

Regional San is responsible for the conveyance of wastewater from the City collection system to the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWTP).

E123. Sac Metro Air District maintains its recommendations on strategies to reduce urban heat island effect impacts, as consistent with CAP Policy LU 2.6.8, which stipulates that “The City shall reduce the ‘heat island effect’ by promoting and requiring, where appropriate, such features as reflective roofing, green roofs, light-colored pavement, and urban shade trees and by reducing the unshaded extent of parking lots.” These measures include the following:
a. Utilize “cool pavement” for new outdoor pavement, with an albedo of at least 0.25-0.5. For guidance on cool pavement strategies, please visit Sac Metro Air District’s Recommended Cool Pavement Strategies, available on our website.
b. Utilize certified cool roofs for all project structures. 2019 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards suggests an aged solar reflectance of at least

0.63 for low-sloped roofs and at least 0.20 for steep-sloped roofs, and minimum thermal emittance of 0.75. The Cool Roof Rating Council provides a product directory of roofs.
c. Provide shade trees at regular intervals along all walkways and public sidewalks, to provide continuous shade to the full extent feasible there.

We recommend selecting air-quality supportive trees, a list of which is available in the Sacramento Tree Foundation’s Shady Eighty guide, along with information for each species on tree shade canopy, distance between plantings, and more.

E124. All projects are subject to Sac Metro Air District rules and regulations in effect at the time of construction. Please visit our website to find a list of the most common rules that apply at the construction phase of projects. Projects undergoing any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review must implement Sac Metro Air District Basic Construction Emission Control Practices, also available on our website, to help avoid significant construction-related air quality impacts.

F. Tree Permit to remove 40 city street trees and two private protected trees is approved subject to the following Conditions of Approval:

F1. Trees shall be planted in the right-of-way and within the project site with at least the equivalent of 87 15-gallon trees planted in the right-of-way and at least 25 15- gallon trees planted within the project site, according to the landscape plan.

F2. The applicant shall retain the trees permitted for removal until a grading permit has been issued.

Michael Robertson of Baker-Williams, on b ehalf of th e property owner, contacted California Tree and Landscape Consulting, Inc. to in
ventory and evaluate the protected trees on the site or within 25’ of development for purposes of evaluating the impacts to the trees from Robla Estates Tentative Subdivision Map by Baker-Williams, dated July 2020. This report was updated pursuant to the comments in July of 2021 and again in February 2022 for changes to the development plans. T his final version is based on the plan se
t dated April 2023. The property is located at 5330 Rio Linda Blvd. and falls under the jurisdiction of the City of Sacramento. See Supporting Information Appendix A –Tree Location Maps and Site Plan.

Nicole Harrison, ISA Certified Arborist #WE-6500AM, and/or Dave Mercado, ISA Certified Arborist #WE-7311A were at the site from July 30th to August 14th 2020. R. Cory Kinley, ISA Certified Arborist #WE-9717A, visited the site on August 23, 2021. A total of 95 trees are included in the inventory. 12 trees are located on the parcel. 34 trees included in the survey are along the Sacramento Northern Bike Path and could be impacted by the development proposal. Not all the trees in along the bike path were included, only trees potentially impacted by the development of these parcels. In April of 2023, Tyler Thomson, ISA Certified Arborist #WE- 12751A visited the site to add trees in the ROW at 5425 Rio Linda Blvd. and the adjacent parcel to the north. An additional 13 trees were added to the inventory. 8 of these trees will be removed for the project. None of these trees are identified in the City of Sacramento inventory but all 8 proposed for removal are located within the Right of Way.

Methods
Appendix 2 in this report is the detailed inventory and recommendations for the trees. The following terms will further explain our findings.

A Level 2 – Basic Visual Assessment was performed in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture’s best management practices. This assessment level is limited to the observation of conditions and defects which are readily visible. Additional limiting factors, such as blackberries, poison oak, and/or debris piled at the base of a tree can inhibit the visual assessment.

Tree Location: The GPS location of each tree was collected using the ESRI’s ArcGIS collector application on an Apple iPhone or Samsung. The data was then processed in ESRI’s ArcMap by Julie McNamara, M.S. GISci, to produce the tree location map.

Tree Measurements: DBH (diameter breast high) is normally measured at 4’6” (above the average ground height for “Urban Forestry”), but if that varies then the location where it is measured is noted. All trees measured at ground level, noted by ‘0’ in the measured at column, were estimated due to irregularities in the shape at the ground. A steel diameter tape was used to measure the trees. A Stanley laser distance meter was used to measure distances. Canopy radius measurements may also have been estimated due to obstructions, such as steep slopes or other trees.

Terms
Field Tag # The pre-stamped tree number on the tag which is installed at approximately 6’ above ground level on the north side of the tree.

City # The number assigned to the tree in the City of Sacramento Managed Trees map available online.

Species The species of a tree is listed by our local and correct common name and botanical name by genus (capitalized) and species (lower case). Oaks frequently cross-pollinate and hybridize, but the identification is towards the strongest characteristics.

DBH Diameter breast high' is normally measured at 4’6” (above the average ground height for “Urban Forestry”), but if that varies then the location where it is measured is noted in the next column “measured at” DSH “Diameter at standard height” is the same as DBH except as follows (according to the City of Sacramento requirements): (1) For a tree that branches at or below 4.5 feet, DSH means the diameter at the narrowest point between the grade and the branching point; and (2) For a tree with a common root system that branches at the ground, DSH means the sum of the diameter of the largest trunk plus one-half the cumulative diameter of the remaining trunks at 4.5 feet above natural grade.

Measured at Height above average ground level where the measurement of DBH was measured Canopy
radius
The farthest extent of the crown composed of leaves and small twigs. Most trees are not evenly balanced. This measurement represents the longest extension from the trunk to the outer canopy. The dripline measurement is from the center point of the tree and is shown on the Tree Location Map as a circle.

Arborist
Rating
Subjective to condition and is based on both the health and structure of the tree. All of the trees were rated for condition, per the recognized national standard as set up by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers and t he International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) on a numeric scale of 5 (being the highest) to 0 (the worst condition, dead) as in Chart A. The rating was done in the field at the time of the measuring and inspection.

No problem(s) Excellent 5 No problems found from a visual ground inspection. Structurally, these trees have properly spaced branches and near perfect No apparent problem(s) Good 4 The tree is in good condition and there are no apparent problems that a Certified Arborist can see from a visual ground inspection. If Robla Estates Tentative Subdivision Map 5330 Rio Linda Blvd., City of Sacramento

All Rights reserved Auburn, CA
potential structural or health problems are tended to at this stage future hazard can be reduced and more serious health problems can be averted.

Minor problem(s) Fair 3 The tree is in fair condition. There are some minor structural or health problems that pose no immediate danger. When the recommended actions in an arborist report are completed correctly the defect(s) can be minimized or eliminated and/or health can be improved.

Major or uncorrectable
problems (2)
Poor 2 The tree has major problems. If the option is taken to preserve the tree, additional evaluation to identify if health or structure can be improved with correct arboricultural work including, but not limited to: pruning, cabling, bracing, bolting, guying, spraying, mistletoe removal, vertical mulching, fertilization, etc. Additionally, risk should be evaluated as a tree rated 2 may have structural conditions which indicate there is a high likelihood of some type of failure. Tree rated 2 should be removed if these additional evaluations will not be performed.

Extreme problem(s) Hazardous 1 The problems are extreme. This rating is assigned to a tree that has structural and/or health problems that no amount of work or effort can change. The issues may or may not be considered a dangerous situation.

Dead Dead 0 This indicates the tree has no significant sign of life.

Notes: Provide notable details about each tree which are factors considered in the determination of the tree rating including: (a) condition of root crown and/or roots; (b) condition of trunk; (c) condition of limbs and structure; (d) growth history and twig condition; (e) leaf appearance; and (f) dripline environment. Notes also indicate if the standard tree evaluation procedure was not followed (for example - why dbh may have been measured at a location other than the standard 54”). Additionally, notes will li st any evaluation limiting factors such as debris at the base of a tree.

Development
Restrictions/Actions
Recommended actions to increase health and longevity.

Development
Impacts
Projected development impacts are based solely on distance relationships between tree location and grading.

Field inspections and findings during the project at the time of grading and trenching can change relative impacts. Closely followed guidelines and requirements can result in a higher chance of survival, w hile requirements that are overlooked can result in a dramatically lower chance of survival. Impacts are measured as follows:

Impact Term: Long Term Result of Impact:

Negligible Tree is unlikely to show any symptoms. Chance of survival post development is excellent. Impacts to the Protected Root Zone are less than 5%.

Minor Tree is likely to show minor symptoms. Chance of survival post development is good.

Impacts to the Protected Root Zone are less than 15% and species tolerance is good.

Moderate Tree is likely to show moderate symptoms. Chance of survival post development is fair. Impacts to the Protected Root Zone are less than 35% and species tolerance is good or moderate.

Severe Tree is likely to show moderate symptoms annually and a pattern of decline. Chance of long term survival post development is low. Impacts to the Protected Root Zone are up to 50% and species tolerance is moderate to poor.

Critical Tree is likely to show moderate to severe symptoms annually and a pattern of decline. Chance of long term survival post development is negligible. Impacts to the Protected Root Zone are up to 80%.

Discussion
Trees need to be protected from normal construction practices if they are to remain healthy and viable on the site. Our recommendations are based on experience and the County ordinance requirements to enhance tree longevity. This requires their root zones remain intact and viable despite the use of heavy equipment to install foundations, driveways, underground utilities, and landscape irrigation systems. Simply walking and driving on soil can have serious consequences for tree health. Tree Protection measures should be incorporated into the site plans in order to protect the trees.

Root Structure
The majority of a tree’s roots are contained in a radius from the main trunk outward approximately two to three times the canopy of the tree. These roots are located in the top 6” to 3’ of soil. It is a common misconception that a tree underground resembles the canopy. The correct root structure of a tree is in the drawing below. All plants’ roots need both water and air for survival. Poor canopy development or canopy decline in mature trees after development is often the result of inadequate root space and/or soil compaction.

The reality of where roots are generally located
Our native oak trees are easily damaged or killed by having the soil within the Protected Root Zone (PRZ) disturbed or compacted. All of the work initially performed around protected trees that will be saved should be done by people rather than by wheeled or track type tractors. Oaks are fragile giants that can take little change in soil grade, compaction, or warm season watering. Don’t be fooled into believing that warm season watering has no adverse effects on native oaks. Decline and eventual death can take as long as 5-20 years with poor care and inappropriate watering.

Oaks can live hundreds of years if treated properly during construction, as well as later with proper pruning, and the appropriate landscape/irrigation design.

Arborist Classifications
A project arborist is likely required during the project development. It is the duty of the project arborist to specify protection for trees that will remain and protect their longevity. Experience is this small part of the tree industry is required to effectively manage trees during construction.

There are different types of Arborists with different roles within the tree industry. A project arborist should be a consulting arborist, or minimally, an ISA certified arborist with experience in tree protection during construction.

Tree Removal and/or Pruning Companies: These companies may be licensed by the State of California to do business as a tree removal company, but they do not necessarily know anything about trees biology.

Arborists: Arborist is a broad term intended to mean someone with specialized knowledge of trees, but it is often used to imply knowledge that is not there.

ISA Certified Arborist: An International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist is someone who has trained, met the qualifications for application, and been tested to have specialized knowledge of trees. You can look up certified arborists at the International Society of Arboriculture website: isa-arbor.org.

Consulting Arborist: An American Society of Consulting Arborists Registered Consulting Arborist is someone who has been trained and then tested to have specialized knowledge of trees; and trained and tested to provide high quality reports and documentation. You can look up registered consulting arborists at the American Society of Consulting Arborists website: ASCA-consultants.org.

RECOMMENTATIONS: Summary of Tree Protection Measures for Site Planning The Owner and/or Developer should ensure the project arborist’s protection measures are incorporated into the site plans and followed. Tree specific protection measures can be found in Appendix 2 – Tree Information Data. • Identify the Root Protection Zones on the final construction drawings and show the placement of tree protection fencing pursuant to the arborists recommendations or city requirements. • The project arborist should review the final construction drawings prior to submittal and identify the impacts to each tree and recommend actions to increase the likelihood of long term survival post construction. • The project arborist should inspect the fencing prior to grading and/or grubbing for compliance with the recommended protection zones.
• The project arborist should directly supervise the clearance pruning, irrigation, fertilization, placement of mulch and chemical treatments.
• All stumps within the root zone of trees to be preserved shall be ground out using a stump router or left in place. No trunk within the root zone of other trees shall be removed using a backhoe or other piece of grading equipment.
• Prior to any grading, or other work on the site that will come within 50’ of any tree to be preserved, irrigation will be required from April through September and placement of a 4-6” layer of chip mulch over the protected root zone of all trees that will be impacted. Chips should be obtained from onsite materials and trees to be removed.
• Clearance pruning should include removal of all the lower foliage that may interfere with equipment PRIOR to having grading or other equipment on site. The Project Arborist should approve the extent of foliage elevation and oversee the pruning to be performed by a contractor who is an ISA Certified Arborist. • Clearly designate an area on the site outside the drip line of all trees where construction materials may be stored, and parking can take place. No materials or parking shall take place within the root zones of protected trees.
• Any and all work to be performed inside the protected root zone fencing shall be supervised by the project arborist.
• Trenching inside the protected root zone shall be by a hydraulic or air spade, placing pipes underneath the roots, or boring deeper trenches underneath the roots.
• Include on the plans an Arborist inspection schedule to monitor the site during (and after) construction to ensure protection measures are followed and make recommendations for care of the trees on site, as needed. • Follow all of the General Development Guidelines, Appendix 3, for all trees to remain.

TREE INVENTORY MAP
Tree Protection General Requirements

1. The project arborist for this project is California Tree & Landscape Consulting.

The primary contact information is Nicole Harrison (530) 745-4086. The project arborist may continue to provide expertise and make additional recommendations during the
construction process if and when additional impacts occur or tree response is poor. Monitoring and construction oversight by the project arborist is recommended for all projects and required when a final letter of assessment is required by the jurisdiction.

2. The project arborist should inspect the exclusionary root protection fencing installed by the contractor prior to any grading and/or grubbing for compliance with the recommended protection zones. Additionally, the project arborist shall inspect
the fencing at the onset of each phase of construction. The protection zone for trees is specified as the ‘canopy radius’ in Appendix 2 unless otherwise specified in the preservation requirements. The location of the tree protection fencing shall be depicted on the plans pursuant to the arborist recommendations.

Note ‘dripline’ is not an acceptable location for installation of tree protection fencing.

3. The project arborist should directly supervise any clearance pruning, irrigation, fertilization, placement of mulch and/or chemical treatments. If clearance pruning is required, the Project Arborist should approve the extent of foliage elevation and oversee the pruning to be performed by a contractor who is an ISA Certified Arborist. Clearance pruning should include removal of all the lower foliage that may
interfere with equipment PRIOR to having grading or other equipment on site.

4. No trunk within the root protection zone of any trees shall be removed using a backhoe or other piece of grading equipment.

5. Clearly designate an area on the site outside the drip line of all trees where construction materials may be stored, and parking can take place. No materials or parking shall take place within the root zones of protected trees.

6. Any and all work to be performed inside the protected root zone fencing, including all grading and utility trenching, shall be approved and/or supervised by the project arborist.

7. Trenching, if required, inside the protected root zone shall be approved and/or supervised by the project arborist and may be required to be by a hydraulic or air spade, placing pipes underneath the roots, or boring deeper trenches underneath the roots.

APPENDIX

GENERAL PRACTICES FOR TREE PROTECTION
Definitions
Root zone: The roots of trees grow fairly close to the surface of the soil, and spread out in a radial direction from the trunk of tree. A general rule of thumb is that they spread 2 to 3 times the radius of the canopy, or 1 to 1 ½ times the height of the tree. It is generally accepted that disturbance to root zones should be kept as far as possible from the trunk of a tree.

Inner Bark: The bark on large valley oaks and coast live oaks is quite thick, usually 1” to 2”. If the bark is knocked off a tree, the inner bark, or cambial region, is exposed or removed. The cambial zone is the area of tissue responsible for adding new layers to the tree each year, so by removing it, the tree can only grow new tissue from the edges of the wound. In addition, the wood of the tree is exposed to decay fungi, so the trunk present at the time of the injury becomes susceptible to decay. Tree protection measures require that no activities occur which can knock the bark off the trees.

Methods Used in Tree Protection:

No matter how detailed Tree Protection Measures are in the initial Arborist Report, they will not accomplish their stated purpose unless they are applied to individual trees and a Project Arborist is hired to oversee the construction. The Project Arborist should have the ability to enforce the Protection Measures. The Project Arborist should be hired as soon as possible to assist in design and to become familiar with the project. He must be able to read and understand the project drawings and interpret the specifications. He should also have the ability to cooperate with the contractor, incorporating the contractor’s ideas on how to accomplish the protection measures, wherever possible. It is advisable for the Project Arborist to be present at the Pre- Bid tour of the site, to answer questions the contractors may have about Tree Protection Measures. This also lets the contractors know how important tree preservation is to the developer.

Root Protection Zone (RPZ): Since in most construction projects it is not possible to protect the entire root zone of a tree, a Root Protection Zone is established for each tree to be preserved. The minimum Root Protection Zone is the area underneath the tree’s canopy (out to the dripline, or edge of the canopy), plus 10’.

The Project Arborist must approve work within the RPZ.

Irrigate, Fertilize, Mulch: Prior to grading on the site near any tree, the area within the Tree Protection fence should be fertilized with 4 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square’, and the fertilizer irrigated in. The irrigation should percolate at least 24” into the soil. This should be done no less than 2 weeks prior to grading or other root disturbing activities. After irrigating, cover the RPZ with at least 12” of leaf and twig mulch. Such mulch can be obtained from chipping or grinding the limbs of any trees removed on the site. Acceptable mulches can be obtained from nurseries or other commercial sources. Fibrous or shredded redwood or cedar bark mulch shall not be used anywhere on site.

Fence: Fence around the Root Protection Zone and restrict activity therein to prevent soil compaction by vehicles, foot traffic or material storage. The fenced area shall be off limits to all construction equipment, Robla Estates Tentative Subdivision Map 5330 Rio Linda Blvd., City of Sacramento

All Rights reserved Auburn, CA
unless there is express written notification provided by the Project Arborist, and impacts are discussed and mitigated prior to work commencing.

No storage or cleaning of equipment or materials, or parking of any equipment can take place within the fenced off area, known as the RPZ.

The fence should be highly visible, and stout enough to keep vehicles and other equipment out. I recommend the fence be made of orange plastic protective fencing, kept in place by t-posts set no farther apart than 6’.

In areas of intense impact, a 6’ chain link fence is preferred.

In areas with many trees, the RPZ can be fenced as one unit, rather than separately for each tree.

Where tree trunks are within 3’ of the construction area, place 2” by 4” boards vertically against the tree trunks, even if fenced off. Hold the boards in place with wire. Do not nail them directly to the tree. The purpose of the boards is to protect the trunk, should any equipment stray into the RPZ.

Elevate Foliage: Where indicated, remove lower foliage from a tree to prevent limb breakage by equipment.

Low foliage can usually be removed without harming the tree, unless more than 25% of the foliage is removed. Branches need to be removed at the anatomically correct location in order to prevent decay organisms from entering the trunk. For this reason, a contractor who is an ISA Certified Arborist should perform all pruning on protected trees.2
Expose and Cut Roots: Breaking roots with a backhoe, or crushing them with a grader, causes significant injury, which may subject the roots to decay. Ripping roots may cause them to splinter toward the base of the tree, creating much more injury than a clean cut would make. At any location where the root zone of a tree will be impacted by a trench or a cut (including a cut required for a fill and compaction), the roots shall be exposed with either a backhoe digging radially to the trunk, by hand digging, or by a hydraulic air spade, and then cut cleanly with a sharp instrument, such as chainsaw with a carbide chain. Once the roots are severed, the area behind the cut should be moistened and mulched. A root protection fence should also be erected to protect the remaining roots, if it is not already in place. Further grading or backhoe work required outside the established RPZ can then continue without further protection measures.

Protect Roots in Deeper Trenches: The location of utilities on the site can be very detrimental to trees. Design the project to use as few trenches as possible, and to keep them away from the major trees to be protected.

Wherever possible, in areas where trenches will be very deep, consider boring under the roots of the trees, rather than digging the trench through the roots. This technique can be quite useful for utility trenches and pipelines.

Protect Roots in Small Trenches: After all construction is complete on a site, it is not unusual for the landscape contractor to come in and sever a large number of “preserved” roots during the installation of irrigation systems. The Project Arborist must therefore approve the landscape and irrigation plans. The irrigation system needs to be designed so the main lines are located outside the root zone of major trees, and the secondary lines are either laid on the surface (drip systems), or carefully dug with a hydraulic or air spade, and the flexible pipe fed underneath the major roots.
2 International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), maintains a program of Certifying individuals. Each Certified Arborist has a number and must maintain continuing education credits to remain Certified.

Robla Estates Tentative Subdivision Map 5330 Rio Linda Blvd., City of Sacramento

Design the irrigation system so it can slowly apply water (no more than ¼” to ½” of water per hour) over a longer period of time. This allows deep soaking of root zones. The system also needs to accommodate infrequent irrigation settings of once or twice a month, rather than several times a week.

Monitoring Tree Health During and After Construction: The Project Arborist should visit the site at least twice a month during construction to be certain the tree protection measures are being followed, to monitor the health of impacted trees, and make recommendations as to irrigation or other needs. After construction is complete, the arborist should monitor the site monthly for one year and make recommendations for care where needed. If longer term monitoring is required, the arborist should report this to the developer and the planning agency overseeing the project.

RE: Robla Estates (P21-009)

Dear Mr. Quintanilla:

Thank you for routing the Robla Estates project to WALKSacramento. The project proposes 178 alley-loaded single-unit houses and 2.3 acres of public parks on two lots.

Tree Shading We are pleased to see the public streets (Street A and Circle B) proposed for Robla Estates will have 5' detached sidewalks and either 5'-10" or 6-½' landscape planters on both sides of the street. The alleys, which comprise almost 60% of the street hardscape in the proposed development, will have no trees. The unshaded alleys will intensify urban heat island effects and increase localized air temperatures. The higher temperatures, especially climate change extremes, can discourage people from walking and biking, and the higher temperatures can also compound health problems. Coordinated planting of trees in the landscape planters and the side yards of the residential lots along Circle B may allow for a denser tree canopy that will shade the sidewalk, the street, and some of the houses.

Trail Access The existing Sacramento Northern Bike Trail and the planned Robla Creek Trail are adjacent to the Robla Estates site. The Sacramento Northern Bike Trail connects to nearby schools and stores in Robla and destinations in Del Paso Heights, North Sacramento and downtown Sacramento. The Robla Creek Trail will connect to existing bike trails that provide access to South Natomas and downtown Sacramento. However, the project provides only one trail connection, which is at the southern end of the site although eleven alleys and twelve pedestrian paseos terminate within 40' to 75' of the existing and planned trails. Additional connections to the trails would encourage more walking and biking for pleasure, exercise, commuting and/or shopping.
"Eyes on the street" The routing contained plans for only one of the four plans, so our comments apply specifically to that model. The living room, and the kitchen behind it, have views to the pedestrian paseos, but there's only garages and second-story bedrooms overlooking the alleys. The end units will have "eyes on the street" through the window(s) in the dining room with the kitchen in the background, and the living room has no window on the wall facing the street. Only one of the three end-unit configurations with a second floor loft facing the street include a window in the loft, yet each plan includes a window in the laundry room, which will be occupied much less frequently than the loft. We hope the other three house plans have "eyes on the street" at least as good as the plan included in the routing.

909 12th Street, Suite 203, Sacramento, CA 95814
916-446-9255 • www.walksacramento.org
It's also notable that the eight houses on Street A have very limited "eyes on the street," relying upon second-story bedrooms for street views. The garages should be accessed by alleys so the active living space in the houses face the street.

Rio Linda Boulevard Crossings A few of the parcels on the west side of Rio Linda Boulevard and just south of the project site are designated Suburban Center. When commercial uses are constructed on those parcels, there will be more Robla Estates residents wanting to cross Rio Linda Boulevard at the proposed roundabout. With a 45-mph speed limit, four traffic lanes, and crosswalks set two car lengths from the yield lines, people may have difficulty crossing at the roundabout. Adding beacons and moving the crosswalks closer to the yield line may improve the crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Single-Story House Plans The plan drawings and the Project Narrative don’t indicate whether Robla Estates will have only two-story houses or a mix of one-story and two-story houses. Many people moving into a neighborhood have a desire to stay long term, but if there are only two- story houses with all bedrooms on the second floor, residents will not be able to "age in place" and they'll have to leave the community when they can no longer climb stairs. Adding single- story houses to the development will facilitate "aging in place." In summary, we recommend:
• Plant trees along the public streets to the densest spacing possible to improve the pedestrian environment and mitigate for the unshaded private alleys. • Provide additional points of access to the Sacramento northern Bike Trail and the Robla Creek Trail.
• Ensure that all house plans that are side-on to public street Circle B have good "eyes on the street," and the lotting on Street A should be changed so the entry door and living room face the street.
• Improve the pedestrian crossings at the roundabout.
• Add one or more single-story plans to the housing mix.

WALKSacramento is working to support increased physical activity such as walking and bicycling in local neighborhoods as well as helping to create community environments that support walking and bicycling. The benefits include improved public health and physical fitness, better air quality, a stronger sense of cohesion and safety in neighborhoods, and more sustainable communities and local economies.

Sincerely,
Chris Holm
Project Manager
