Dear Mr. Waite:
This memorandum (memo) presents a discussion in regard to a development plan for the
2.2 Future Development / Project Description
The Reduced Pacific Specific Plan Project Alternative consists of 299 residential units, including a

mix of rowhomes, villas, and affordable units on approximately 13.3 acres of the 33.2-acre project site. This reduced project alternative includes a total of 646 parking spaces and 111,025 square feet of common open space area. 45 of the 299 total units (15% of the total) would be designated as deed-restricted affordable units ( this alternative project reserves the option to contribute to the affordable housing fund by paying the in-lieu fee). This reduced project alternative also includes landscaping, bio-retention areas, and circulation improvements. The remaining approximately 19.9 acres of the 33.2-acre project site would be preserved and restored as open space and habitat area. This reduced project alternative would have a density of approximately
8.99 dwelling units per acre, including the open space and habitat area.
As planning progresses and additional or revised plans become available, they should be provided to GeoTek for review and comment. If plans vary significantly, additional geotechnical field exploration, laboratory testing and engineering analyses may be necessary to provide specific earthwork recommendations and geotechnical design parameters for actual development plans.
5.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
5.1 General
The Reduced Pacific Specific Plan Project was compared to the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented in GeoTek’s December 5, 2023 report and a revised report is not recommended at this time. An updated Boring Location Plan presenting the Reduce Pacific Specific Plan Project Alternative is presented as Figure 2. Future development of the property appears feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint provided that the recommendations presented in GeoTek’s referenced December 5, 2023 report are incorporated into the design, construction, and post construction phases of the project. Due to the preliminary nature of this report, supplemental geotechnical evaluations of the property are anticipated at future dates once more detailed development plans are available. Those supplemental geotechnical recommendations will supersede the preliminary recommendations provided in this report.
