Related files: Environmental Impact Report (EIR) DRC2004-01048 for Annexation DRC2005-00602, Development District Amendment DRC2005-00477, and General Plan Amendment DRC2006-00030 BACKGROUND The Design Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the Tentative Tract Map, Conceptual Grading Plan, and the Carrari Ranch Specific Plan for the proposed Carrari Ranch Project on June 5, 2012, and provided comments to staff. The applicant was not in attendance at the DRC meeting. The staff itemized a large number of areas of conflict in the design of the tract and specific plan with current City development standards which the applicant has been unwilling to change. The Committee discussed the possibility of recommending denial of the tract map and specific plan, but requested staff to notify the applicant that it was continuing the discussion of this project submittal to the June 19, 2012, meeting to allow the applicant one more opportunity to discuss the project proposal with the committee before forwarding a final recommendation to the Planning Commission. Specifically, the project has the following major outstanding issues: • The Tentative Tract Map, Conceptual Grading Plan, and the Carrara Ranch Specific Plan do not meet the intent of the General Plan, Hillside Grading Standards, Hillside Grading Ordinance, and Design Guidelines. • The applicant has not submitted copies of easement agreements for all off-site improvements. This includes all grading easements along the west property line for the construction of the primary access road and along the emergency access road through Thorpe Canyon. Additionally, this includes easement agreements to maintain all off-site Fuel Modification zones for the project(along the east and west property line and along access roads). • There are outstanding issues related to the private sewer pump station for Lots 37 thru 51. Both the City and the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) has not accepted the proposal as submitted. This outstanding condition must be addressed and submitted for approval to both the CVWD and the Building and Safety Services Department • The Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) has not been accepted as complete. The WQMP still has many outstanding corrections that if amended could affect the project and the special studies that were analyzed in the Draft EIR. • Additionally, there are outstanding corrections with the driveway locations and grades and on-site drainage. Staff Comments: Staff presented the major comments during the June 5, 2012, DRC meeting. No additional comment. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee forward a recommendation for denial of the Tentative Tract Map, Conceptual Grading Plan, and Carrari Ranch Specific Plan to the Planning Commission for review and action.
