Oak Tree Design Guidelines. During final design the applicant will Future Project Applicant's
During Final Design
City of Yucaipa Planning
provide design guidelines as set forth in the Oak Tree Conservation Qualified Biologist and/or
Division
Ordinance. Section 89.0501 of the Yucaipa Development Code Arborist
provides design guidelines and evaluation criteria for projects that will impact or potentially impact oak trees. City of Yucaipa enforces the conservation of all healthy oak trees unless reasonable and conforming use of the property justifies removal, cutting, pruning and/or encroachment into the protected zone of an oak tree. To the extent possible, given the constraints of the property, the project must (1) preserve or minimize impacts to existing healthy oak trees; (2) eliminate or minimize encroachment or new construction in areas of oak trees; (3) minimize the percentage of encroachment from construction on oak trees; (4) avoid locating parking facilities and pedestrian walkways in close proximity to hazardous oak trees for safety reasons, unless it can be demonstrated that major surgery and a nutrient feeding program will restore the tree to a safe and vigorous condition, or the trees are located in minimal access areas such as drainages or steep slopes.

be processed administratively only when the diameter of the tree does not exceed six inches when measured at a point 4.5 feet above the natural grade of the tree. Requests for relocation of trees with larger diameters must be processed and reviewed by the Yucaipa Planning Commission and the City Council. Any
replacement trees from a nursery must be either coast live oak or valley oak (Quercus lobata). Other oak tree varieties must be approved in advance by the Community Development Department.

All relocated or replaced trees shall be monitored and maintained by a qualified biologist for five years or until the plants have become fully established and can survive without supplemental irrigation.

Measures include controlling speed to 15 mph or less on unpaved roads, replacing ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as possible, frequently watering active work sites, installing shaker plates, and suspending excavation and grading operations during periods of high winds.
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for construction, the applicant shall submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to the City of Yucaipa that specifies best management practices to prevent all construction pollutants from contacting stormwater, with the intent of keeping sedimentation or any other pollutants from moving off -site and into receiving waters. The requirements of the SWPPP shall be incorporated into design specifications and construction contracts. Best management practices categories employed on -site would include erosion control, sediment control, and non-stormwater (good housekeeping). Best
management practices recommended for the construction phase shall include, but not be limited to:
— Limit grading to the minimum area necessary for
construction, operation, and decommissioning of the Project — Limit vegetation disturbance/removal to the maximum extent practicable
— Implement fiber rolls and sandbags around drainage areas and the site perimeter

The following water quality measures will be included in the SWPPP:
— Erodible fill material shall not be deposited into water courses. Brush, loose soils, or other similar debris material shall not be stockpiled within the stream channel or on its banks.
— Projects shall be designed to avoid the placement of
equipment and personnel within the stream channel or on sand and gravel bars, banks, and adjacent upland habitats used by target species of concern, as feasible. Projects that cannot be constructed without placing equipment or
personnel in sensitive habitats shall be timed to avoid the breeding season of riparian species.
— When stream flows must be diverted, the diversions shall be conducted using sandbags or other methods requiring
minimal instream impacts. Silt fencing or other sediment trapping materials shall be installed at the downstream end of construction activity to minimize the transport of sediments off site. Settling ponds where sediment is collected shall be cleaned out in a manner that prevents the sediment from reentering the stream. Care shall be exercised when
removing silt fences, as feasible, to prevent debris or sediment from returning to the stream.
— Water pollution and erosion control plans shall be developed and implemented in accordance with the Regional Water
Quality Control Board.

• Toxicants. Land uses that use chemicals or generate
bioproducts such as manure, fertilizer, or vineyard waste that are potentially toxic or may adversely affect plant species, wildlife species, habitat, or water quality shall incorporate measures to ensure that application of such chemicals does not result in discharges. Measures such as those employed to address
drainage issues shall be implemented.
• Lighting. Night lighting shall be directed away from proposed open space and/or suitable habitat for special -status species to protect species from direct night lighting. Shielding shall be incorporated in Project designs to ensure ambient lighting is not increased. Any trails that intersect proposed open space will not include night lighting.
• Noise: Proposed noise -generating land uses affecting suitable habitat for special -status species shall incorporate setbacks, berms, or walls to minimize the effects of noise on resources pursuant to applicable rules, regulations, and guidelines related to land use noise standards. For planning purposes, wildlife should not be subject to noise that would exceed residential noise standards.

• Invasive Species. When approving landscape plans for future development, emphasis will be placed on using native species that occur in the region. Invasive, nonnative plant species listed on the most recent California Invasive Plant Council inventory ( https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/inventory/) with a rating of moderate or high shall not be included in landscaping.
• Barriers. Future.development shall incorporate barriers, where appropriate in individual project designs, to minimize
unauthorized public access, domestic animal predation, illegal trespass, or dumping in proposed open space and/or suitable habitat for special -status wildlife. Such barriers may include native landscaping, rocks/boulders, fencing, walls, signage, and/or other appropriate mechanisms. Any proposed trails through open space will have gates that close at nighttime as well as signage and appropriate barriers to keep people and domestic animals on the trail.
• Restoration of Temporary Impacts. Prior to issuance of a grading or construction permit within the Project, grading and construction plans shall include the following note regarding any temporary impacts to uplands:
— Site construction areas subjected to temporary ground disturbance in undeveloped areas shall be subjected to
revegetation with an application of a native seed mix, if necessary, prior to or during seasonal rains to promote passive restoration of the area to pre -Project conditions (except that no invasive plant species will be restored). An area subjected to "temporary" disturbance means any area that is disturbed but will not be subjected to further
disturbance as part of the Project. If any grading occurred in areas intended to remain undeveloped, the site will be
recontoured to natural grade. This measure does not apply to situations in urban/developed areas that are temporarily impacted and will be returned to an urban/developed land use. Prior to seeding temporary round disturbance areas, May 2024 Page 25

construction activities. If no potential habitat for western spadefoot is found during the survey, no further mitigation would be required.

If potential habitat for western spadefoot is identified, construction fencing appropriate for amphibian exclusion will be installed around the construction area. A pre -construction pond check and focused survey for western spadefoot will be conducted the winter prior to grading activities in the construction area. The pond check will occur within 24 hours of the winter season's first three rain events and prioritize ponded features that hold water for 45 days or greater.

Ideally, these rain events would produce a minimum of 0.2 inch during a 24-hour period.

If western spadefoot are detected during surveys in the fenced construction footprint, then biologists shall collect western spadefoot adults from areas within 300 feet of known occupied pools. Adults shall be relocated outside of the construction footprint to portions of the conserved open space (see Mitigation Measure B-10, Wildlife Movement) that have suitable breeding habitat and few or no western spadefoot individuals. Relocation of western spadefoot will follow the latest amphibian handling guidelines provided by the U.S.

Additionally, active and passive acoustic monitoring will be concurrent with the emergence survey to determine if any bats are echolocating within the Project site, identify the echolocating species, and determine the level of bat activity on site. Passive acoustic detectors will be deployed for a minimum of three nights. Once retrieved, bat echolocation calls will be analyzed off site using Sonobat software and manual vetting to identify calls to the species level. If no bats are observed during the pre - construction survey, the Project may commence without
potential impacts to bats. However, if bats are observed roosting in the Project site, additional measures will be required as follows.
— Maternity Roosting Season Avoidance. All Project -related activities, including bat roost exclusion, shall occur outside the general bat maternity roosting season of March through August. Roost exclusion must only occur during the time when bats are most active (early spring or fall) to increase the potential to exclude all bats from buildings and minimize the potential for a significant impact to occur by avoiding the maternity roosting season.
— Replacement Roost Installation. One month prior to the exclusion of bats from the buildings, the applicant will procure and install one or two bat boxes from a reputable vendor, such as Bat Conservation and Management, to allow bats
sufficient time to acclimate to a new potential roost location.

— Roost Exclusion. Approximately one month after bat boxes have been installed, exclusion of the existing roost within the buildings will occur. The primary exit points for roosting bats will be identified, and all secondary ingress/egress locations on the buildings will be covered with a suitable material (e.g., tarp or wood planks) to prevent bats from leaving from other locations. The primary exit point will remain uncovered to allow exclusion devices to be installed. Exclusion devices will consist of plastic sheeting or a screen (with mesh one -sixth of an inch or smaller) installed at the top and allowing bats to leave but not return. The exclusion devices will be installed at night to increase the potential that bats have already left the roost and are less likely to return. Exclusion devices will be left in place for one week to ensure any remaining bats in the buildings are excluded. A passive acoustic monitoring
detector will also be deployed during the exclusion period to verify excluded species and monitor if bat activity has decreased during the exclusion period. Periodic monitoring during the exclusion period shall also be conducted to
observe if any bats are still emerging from the buildings, and an active monitoring survey shall be conducted on the final night of exclusion to ensure no bats are emerging from the buildings and determine exclusion has been successful. Any continued presence of roosting bats will require an
adjustment to the exclusion devices and schedule.

• Pre -construction Surveys (Natal Dens). During the late winter and summer (generally from March 15 through July 31), when American badgers may use natal dens for birthing and pup rearing, pre -construction surveys shall be conducted by the Project biologist no earlier than 14 days prior to ground - disturbing construction activities to determine whether American badger natal dens are present within the Project construction zone or within 200 feet of the construction zone.
• Avoidance Measures (Natal Dens). If natal dens are detected during construction, construction activities shall be halted within 200 feet of the natal den. This buffer may be reduced based on the location of the den or type of construction activity, and at the direction of the project biologist. Construction activities shall not preclude the ability of the documented badgers to disperse to on -site open space or off -site habitat when the natal den is vacated (i.e., habitat suitable for dispersal must be maintained until dispersal occurs). Construction will be postponed or halted in these areas until it is determined by the Project biologist that the young are no longer dependent on the natal den. To avoid inadvertent impacts during construction and to ensure that construction activities are at least 200 feet from active natal dens, any active natal dens within the survey area shall be clearly marked with fencing or flagging in a manner that will not inhibit normal behavioral activities (e.g., foraging and dispersing from the site) by the mother and pups.

If it is not practicable to avoid the wintering den during construction activities, an attempt will be made to trap or flush the individual and relocate it to suitable open space habitat.

Additionally, badgers can be relocated by slowly excavating the burrow, either by hand or mechanized equipment under the direct supervision of the Project biologist, removing no more than four inches at a time. After necessary trapping, flushing, or burrow excavation is completed, construction may proceed and the vacated winter den may be collapsed. If trapping is required, trapping will be limited to November 16 through the last day of February in accordance with Section 461, Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (14 CCR 461). A written report documenting the badger removal shall be provided to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife within 30 days of relocation.
• Pre -construction Surveys (Natal Dens). During the late winter and summer (generally from March 15 through July 31), when American badgers may use natal dens for birthing and pup rearing, pre -construction surveys shall be conducted by the Project biologist no earlier than 14 days prior to ground - disturbing construction activities to determine whether American badger natal dens are present within the Project construction zone or within 200 feet of the construction zone.
• Avoidance Measures (Natal Dens). If natal dens are detected during construction, construction activities shall be halted within 200 feet of the natal den. This buffer may be reduced based on the location of the den or type of construction activity, and at the direction of the project biologist. Construction activities shall not preclude the ability of the documented badgers to disperse to on -site open space or off -site habitat when the natal den is vacated (i.e., habitat suitable for dispersal must be maintained until dispersal occurs).

SUMMARY MEMORANDUM
October 13, 2023
To: Ashley Olson, EPD Solutions, Inc.

From: Kuda Wekwete, Jerry Wen, and Graeme Fraser, DTA
Subject: Economic Impact Study for the Proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center Project
The objective of this Economic Impact Study (the "Study") is to analyze the economic impacts of the proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center (the "Project") in the City of Yucaipa (the "City") in the County of San Bernardino (the "County").

Overall, the Project is anticipated to add 1,599 permanent new jobs within the City. The Project would also provide 1,686 temporary jobs associated with its construction.

Notably, the Project would deliver a substantial boost to the City's economy, with the production of goods and services increasing by $198.4 million annually. This growth in jobs and economic output would have a positive impact on the City as it would significantly expand its economic base, thereby providing a strong foundation for the City's continued economic growth and fiscal health.

A Description of the Project
The Project sits on 113 acres located on the east side of Live Oak Canyon Road and south of Interstate 10 in Yucaipa and comprises planning areas BP and BP 3 of the proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center Tract Map (the "POCC Tract Map"), as depicted in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Aerial Map for the POCC Tract Map
I i �
08/26/2024 City Council Agenda 416
Newport Beach I San Jose I San Francisco I Riverside I Dallas I Houston I Raleigh I Tampa

As illustrated in Figure 2 below, the Project will result in the development of up to 2,054,000 total square feet consisting of two (2) Class A, industrial buildings. Building 1 is 1,052,500 total square feet of warehouse inclusive of 20,000 square feet of office space.

Building 2 is 1,001,500 square feet of warehouse inclusive of 20,000 square feet of office space.

Figure 2: Proposed Project Site Plan
The buildings will be used as high cube distribution and warehousing facilities and are designed to attract top -tier tenants looking to serve the Southern California marketplace.

Green building concepts and sustainable design principles will be employed to provide buildings that operate efficiently and reduce demand on resources.

The overall land area of the POCC Tract Map exceeds 313 acres, with 200 acres to remain undeveloped and predominantly zoned as open space with limited zoning of 60 acres for residential use. The buildings are set back behind a ridgeline separating the 1-10 and the project to protect the City's view corridor. The building elevations are designed to blend with the surrounding environment and rely on wood, metal and natural materials to evoke a modern farmhouse aesthetic.

The project will be phased over a three-year period and includes infrastructure improvements to southern Yucaipa that include constructing a new project roadway connecting Live Oak Canyon Road to the eastern edge of the property, the southern extension of Wildwood Canyon Road, along with drainage improvements and extending utility services to the south side of the 1-10 Freeway to provide infrastructure to support the Pacific Oaks Commerce Center aswell as future growth within the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan.

B Overview of Economic Impact Analysis
This Study identifies the general economic impacts of the Project on the City. Economic impact studies operate under the basic assumption that any increase in spending resulting from a development project has direct, indirect, and induced effects as illustrated in Figure 3 below. First, there is a direct effect caused by the additional output of goods or services EPD Solutions, Inc. October 13, 2023
Economic Impact Si`udy for the Proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center 08/26/2024 City Council Agenda 417 2

on -site. Second, there is a ripple of indirect effects on all the industries whose outputs are used by firms located within the Project and various firms' supply chains. Third, there are induced effects that arise when employment increases in the region and stimulates greater household spending.

Figure 3: Direct, Indirect, and Induced Impacts
In evaluating these economic impacts, the Study incorporates two stages of the development process: construction and operations. First, there isa one-timeimpact from the construction of the various types of land uses within the Project. Then, after the construction and tenant improvement phases are complete, the Study determines the magnitude of the permanent annua/recurring impacton the economy through the ongoing operations of the development that has occurred on the Project site.

DTA used the web application of the Impact Analysis for Planning ("IMPLAN") economic modeling system. IMPLAN is a nationally recognized input-output model that can be used to estimate the short -run impacts of changes in the economy through the use of a multiplier analysis. The IMPLAN terms used herein have the following meanings:
■ "Employment" follows the same definition as U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis' regional economic accounts and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Employment and Wages data, which represents the full-time/part-time annual average. Thus, one (1) job lasting 12 months is equivalent to two (2) jobs lasting 6 months each or three (3) jobs lasting 4 months each. In terms of a typical IMPLAN analysis, a job that lasts 6 months would be considered 1/2 (0.50)of ajob,while one that lasts3 monthswould be considered 1/4 (0.25) of a job. Notably, IMPLAN's analysis normally includes both FTE jobs and part- time jobs, which overstates the number of FTEjobsgenerated by a development project.

EPD Solutions, Inc. October 13, 2023
Economic Impact Si`udy for the Proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center 08/26/2024 City Council Agenda 418 3

In order to compensate for that factor, DTA applies a discounting factor provided by IMPLAN that varies by industry and can be used to reduce the number of direct jobs generated by IMPLAN in our Study so that it represents the equivalent of the number of FTE d i rect jobs.
■ "Total Economic Output" represents the total value of all goods and/or services produced throughout a designated economy during a specified period of time, including Labor Income, Other Value Added, and the cost of Intermediate Inputs. Each of these components are defined below.
"Labor Income" includes employee compensation (wages and benefits) and payments received by self-employed individuals and unincorporated business owners. The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages ("CEW") published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the primary source of employment and income data for IMPLAN.
"Other Value Added" encompasses other property income, such as the consumption of capital investment, profits, royalties, dividends, interest impacts, and taxes on production and imports. The primary sources of Other Value Added are taxes on production and imports net of subsidy and Gross Operating Surplus ("GOS") data at the 3-digit NAICS level released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
"Intermediate Inputs" include the purchases of non -durable goods and services that are used for the production of other goods and services within a project, rather than for final consumption. Intermediate Inputs equal the Total Economic Output minus the sum of Labor Income and Other Value Added.

C Recurring Economic Impacts of the Project
As shown in Table 1 below, the annual economic impacts of the Project on the City will be quite substantial. First, the Project is anticipated to create 1,299 permanent jobs on -site. In addition, the Project is expected to generate 300 permanent recurring indirect and induced jobs off -site within the City, for a total of 1,599 jobs. As the City's total current workforce consists of 10,793 employees, FTEemployees holding these additional jobs will constitute up to a 14.82%increase in the size of the City's current workforce. The total Labor Income associated with these new jobs will equal $78.9 million generated directly on -site, plus $16 million off -site Citywide, for a total increase in Labor Income of $94.8 million annually within the City. Finally, adding in $16.5 million in Other Value -Added revenues and $87 million in Intermediate Expenditures yields a total economic Output of $198.4 million per year from the Project, which represents a considerable boost to the City's economy.

D One -Time Economic Impacts of the Project
Similarly, as reflected in Table 2 below, the one-time economic impacts from the construction of the Project on the City will be quite substantial. First, the Project is anticipated to employ 1,410 construction jobs on -site'. In addition, the Project is expected to generate 276 indirect and induced jobs off -site, for a total of 1,686 temporary jobs within the City. The total Labor Income associated with these new jobs will equal $111 million directly on -site, plus $15.8 million off -site but within the City, for a total increase in Labor Income of $126.7 million Citywide on a one-time basis. Finally, adding in $20.8 million in Other Value -Added revenues and $123 million in Intermediate Expenditures yields a total one-time economic Output of $270.5 million for the Project, which will inject a substantial amount of growth into the City's construction industry. Notably, the one-time construction output represents the aggregate outputs generated during the three-year Project construction period.

The jobs -housing balance is an indicator of the relative equilibrium between employment and housing opportunities in a given area. A positive balance between jobs and housing has a beneficial impact on a municipality by decreasing costs associated with commuting and traffic congestion. It also reduces commute times, improves local, social, cultural and family involvement, provides a more attractive work/life balance to residents, and generates savings EPD Solutions, Inc.

Economic Impact Si`udy for the Proposed Pacific Oaks Commerce Center 08/26/2024 City Council Agenda 4216

to local public agencies in terms of the need to construct and maintain new road improvements and other facilities.

As reflected below in Table 3 and illustrated in Figure 6, the City's current ratio of jobs within the City as compared with the number of housing units Citywide is 0.531, as compared with a Statewide average of 1.260. The addition of 1,599 new jobsthrough the construction of the Project would increase this ratio to 0.610.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
Situated along both sides of Interstate 10, the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan (FCSP) area has the potential to serve several vital functions for the City of Yucaipa and the greater region. When completed, the 1,242-acre plan will provide a wide range of housing types to meet Yucaipa's future residential needs as well as locations for new business opportunities that will bring local jobs and economic growth for the community.

The Freeway Corridor Specific Plan was first adopted in November 2008 but remained dormant through the years of the Great Recession and the subsequent economic recovery. This 2022 Specific Plan Amendment was prepared in response to a number of changing conditions. A comprehensive update of the City's General Plan was completed in 2016, and the FCSP document needs to be consistent with the City's current goals and policies as well as implement the General Plan vision for the community. In 2012, the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy was adopted (amended in 2020), which is also a factor contributing to the necessity of the FCSP update. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 again brought changes in land use expectations and goals —the demand for brick -and -mortar shopping centers further declined, and the overall demand for logistics/distribution centers increased to meet consumer needs.

Another recent development in Yucaipa is the establishment of a burgeoning wine industry. This began with the submittal of an application to the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to request the establishment of the Yucaipa Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA). Along with the development of the Yucaipa Valley Wine Country, opportunities are available in the plan area to support this emerging industry, and part of the vision for the FCSP includes the encouragement of agriculture in open space areas that would have the appropriate growing conditions for vineyards. Additionally, the Pumpkin Patch is a popular community attraction in the project area, and the FCSP maintains this use to support the agricultural operations.

The overarching vision for the FCSP is the creation of a place that reflects the unique character of Yucaipa and ultimately supports the community's needs into the future. Additionally, the FCSP is meant to allow a degree of flexibility that can provide a standard of quality without stifling opportunities or imposing inflexible regulations that would preclude creative development responses. An emphasis on sustainability is also a key part of the plan, with an encouragement of multimodal forms of transportation, ride sharing, and connections to future public transportation routes through appropriate land use densities.

The FCSP offers a mixture of residential, commercial, and business park development. In addition to these land uses, it provides community amenities such as trails and permanent open space areas that will preserve major ridgelines and drainage corridors. A variety of residential uses are provided to help meet the growing demand for housing in the city. The commercial and business park uses provide employment as well as retail and entertainment opportunities for those living in the community. The commercial uses take advantage of the freeway visibility and access to serve both local and regional needs. The residential areas are linked to the commercial and business park areas through an extensive system of multimodal trails.

1.2 PROJECT VISION
This document is intended to provide the overall direction for development to achieve the General Plan's vision for the project area.

The Specific Plan includes these key components:
• Allowable land uses within the 1,242-acre area.
• Development regulations, design standards and design
guidelines to ensure quality development.
• A multimodal trail and circulation system that provides access for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
• A plan for protecting and managing important natural
resources, including the hillsides and native oak trees. • Required infrastructure facilities, including financing and phasing, to support implementation of the plan.
• Implementation and administrative processes needed to approve specific development projects in the FCSP area.

The 2022 Specific Plan Amendment incorporates revisions to the 2008 plan to meet the changing needs of the market and additional changes that resulted from the adoption of the 2016 General Plan. In addition, the revisions provide more effective infrastructure connections to support future development and add flexibility to remain competitive with changing market conditions.

1.3 REGIONAL & LOCAL SETTING
The 1,242-acre Freeway Corridor Specific Plan area is in the City of Yucaipa in San Bernardino County. The FCSP area is bisected by Interstate 10 (I-10) and abuts the Riverside County boundary to the south. Regional access to the project is provided by I-10 from the east and west. Local access is provided by Live Oak Canyon Road, County Line Road, Oak Glen Road, Wildwood Canyon Road, and Calimesa Boulevard (see Figure 1-1, Regional Location Map, and Figure 1-2, Local Vicinity Map).

The FCSP is currently accessible from two freeway interchanges. The I-10/Live Oak Canyon/Oak Glen Road interchange is at the western edge of the project area, and the 1-10 / County Line Road interchange is at the southeastern edge of the project area. A third interchange is planned from Wildwood Canyon Road and will provide additional connectivity for the later phases of the project.

1.4 OWNERSHIP / DISTRICTS
Ownership of the site includes several entities; however, the Palmer and Robinson families have owned the majority of the project area since the 1950s. (Refer to Figure 1-3, Site Ownership Map, and Figure 1-4, APN Parcel Map, for a listing of the parcels.) Additionally, the project has been divided into districts to better understand the intensity of development in particular areas of the site. These districts are depicted in Figure 1-5, Specific Plan Districts.

1.5 PLANNING OBJECTIVES
During the preparation of the 2008 Specific Plan, a set of planning goals and objectives were established. The overall intent of these goals has been carried into the 2022 Specific Plan Amendment, but with minor modifications to better fit market demands. The objectives are:
• Create an integrated addition to the City of Yucaipa containing housing, employment opportunities, retail/commercial areas, recreation areas, and other facilities essential to the daily lives of the residents.
• Ensure that the plan complies with the intent of the City Development Code related to hillside development to preserve key ridgeline features that frame Yucaipa, with allowances to ensure the feasibility of constructing uses that benefit the region. • Expand the range of housing opportunities in the region to meet the needs of a variety of household types, sizes, and income levels.
• Provide an abundance and variety of open space and
multimodal trails for bicycles, and pedestrians throughout the community.
• Design a safe and efficient circulation system that adequately supports the anticipated level of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic in and around the project.
• Develop a financing and phasing plan that provides for the efficient and timely provision of infrastructure and services as development occurs.
• Comprehensively plan the FCSP area with consideration of other contiguous areas to ensure compatible and complementary development, circulation patterns, infrastructure, and services.

1.6 RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL
PLAN
The General Plan for the City of Yucaipa identifies major goals that are intended to preserve the community's "rural atmosphere" and are relevant to the Specific Plan area. The City uses various growth management measures to achieve these goals and to mitigate any adverse impacts associated with the projected growth in population.

These measures include but are not limited to:
• Limit density in most new developments to reflect a relatively low level of land use intensity.
//"6/2024 City
City j*4u3 aipa

Chapter 1: Introduction
• Identify and preserve natural resources.
• Utilize development impact fees to defray infrastructure costs. • Regulate hillside and ridgeline development, preserve natural and undisturbed open space, protect oak trees, and conserve riparian habitat areas to maintain a rural atmosphere and benefit the citizens of Yucaipa.

These efforts are intended to facilitate the retention of "the scenic qualities that enhance the community's unique identity."

1.7 CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
(CEQA)
A Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared for the 2008 Freeway Corridor Specific Plan. A Subsequent EIR has been prepared for the 2022 Amendment.

1.8 AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
This specific plan is enacted pursuant to Section 65450 et seq. of the California Government Code. A specific plan is a regulatory tool that local governments use to guide development in a local area consistent with the general plan. While the general glan is the primary guide for growth and development in a community, a specific plan is able to focus on the unique characteristics of a special area by customizing the planning process and land use regulations to that area. In accordance with state law, a specific plan shall include text and diagrams that specify:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. • The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, and other essential facilities proposed in the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
• A program of implementation measures, including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary for implementation.

In the Specific Plan area, no building or structure shall be erected, constructed, or structurally altered, nor shall any building, structure, or land be used, except as authorized by the Specific Plan and by relevant provisions of the Yucaipa Municipal Code (YMC). The Specific Plan is intended to replace City zoning regulations except where noted. Where the Specific Plan is silent, the YMC shall apply. r

BASELINE

CONDITIONS
08/26/2024 City Council Agenda 446

2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a summary of the baseline conditions of the Freeway Corridor Specific Plan project site. The conditions have remained largely unchanged since 2008 when the Specific Plan was first adopted; however, all maps have been updated as necessary to reflect current conditions. Throughout this chapter, these conditions are referred to as the "baseline conditions." The purpose of defining baseline conditions is to provide a deeper understanding of the issues, constraints, and opportunities guiding the creation of the plan. The issues addressed in this chapter are:
• Historical Context
• Existing Uses
• Surrounding Land Uses
• Topography and Natural
Features
• Earthquake Faults
• Landslides
• Hydrology and Drainage
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
Additional information on these topics can be found in the SEIR.

2.1.1 HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Agriculture in the Yucaipa Valley began during the 1810s and 1820s with grazing for a satellite rancho property of San Gabriel Mission's Rancho San Bernardino. In the 1830s, the Mexican government secularized California's missions, and the title for Rancho Yucaipa and other Rancho San Bernardino lands came into the possession of Antonio Maria Lugo and his sons in 1842. That same year, Lugo's son- in-law, Diego Sepulveda, built an adobe dwelling on Rancho Yucaipa, i

Chapter 2: Baseline Conditions
which stands today northwest of the plan area. He grazed sheep and cattle on the property with the help of Cahuilla Tribe members from nearby areas.

Mormon settlers founded the town of San Bernardino in the late 1840s and ostensibly purchased Rancho San Bernardino in 1851, but returned to Utah in 1857, leaving ownership of the title for the land in the federal courts until 1865, when it was officially granted to the Lugos. In the meantime, however, non -Mormon settler John Brown Sr. had occupied the Yucaipa portion of Rancho San Bernardino, and his friend, trapper James Waters, took over the rancho in 1857 and was the de facto owner when the court case was settled in 1865.

On January 28,1869, Waters sold the Yucaipa Valley portion of the San Bernardino Rancho to John W. Dunlap and William Standefer, two cattlemen from Texas who brought 4,000 head of cattle with them.

Within a few years, the remaining Serrano Indians had been evicted, Standefer had sold his share to Dunlap, and Dunlap had died, leaving the care of the ranch to his wife and his son Franklin Pierce Dunlap, who took up residence in the Yucaipa adobe. During the 1870s, more than 500 acres of the Dunlap Ranch were cultivated in grain and 100 acres in alfalfa, with the rest in hay and pastureland. Franklin Pierce Dunlap built a brick mansion for his family surrounded by grain fields northeast of the original ranch headquarters and established a dairy operation in Live Oak Canyon. This became the "Dairy Ranch" subdivision of the Dunlap Ranch, which roughly corresponds to the project area.

The Southern Pacific Railroad was built in the late 1870s and passed within a few miles of the Dunlap Ranch, allowing the ranch to profitably ship grain to Arizona. In the 1880s, fruit culture became dominant in the San Bernardino / Riverside region and helped spur the great land boom of that decade, though the Dunlap Ranch holdings were not offered for subdivision at that time. A drought from 1896 to 1904 caused the Dunlap Ranch to lose heavily in cattle, and a water company established by the Dunlap family in 1899 suffered from competition with more established holdings in Oak Glen to the northeast.

The bulk of the FCSP area remained largely unsubdivided through the early decades of the twentieth century as a succession of farmers leasing land from the Redlands and Yucaipa Land Company continued to produce dairy, grain (particularly barley), and hay.
