c. The property is currently vacant. The site has been"mass"graded to prepare it for
development. Currently, underground utility infrastructure is being installed beneath what will
eventually be the right-of-way for The Resort Parkway; and
d. The General Plan Land Use designation of the project site and the properties
surrounding the subject property is Mixed Use; and
e. The properties to the north, south and west are also within the Empire Lakes
Specific Plan, Planning Area 1 and are vacant. The property to the east is within the Empire Lakes
Specific Plan, Planning Areas 6 and 8, and is developed with an apartment complex; and
f. The application is for the subdivision of the project site into three(3) parcels of 5.25
acres, 3.78 acres, and 6.76 acres (Lots 1, 2, and 3 respectively) and four (4) "letter" lots (Lots "A"
through"D"). The letter lots will be for an interior street(Lot"A"), open spaces/common areas(Lots

above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The design and layout of the subject tentative tract map will be consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and Empire Lakes Specific Plan. The project site is being
subdivided to facilitate the development of a residential project which will be consistent with the
Mixed Use zoning of the project site.
b. The site is physically suitable for the subdivision which will create three(3) parcels
and four (4) "letter" lots. The project will include collector streets and will be designed to
accommodate the level of traffic proposed by the development.
c. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The applicant's environmental
consultant, Psomas, prepared an Environmental Technical Analysis Memorandum dated
June 28, 2018 that demonstrated that the subject project is within the scope of the approved overall
project and analysis included in the Final EIR.
d. The tentative tract map is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
proposed project is for the development of 296 residential units. The applicant's environmental
consultant, Psomas, prepared an Environmental Technical Analysis Memorandum dated
June 28, 2018 that demonstrated that the subject project is within the scope of the approved overall
project and analysis included in the Final EIR.
e. The design of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. Access to the property will be from existing public streets surrounding the project site
and access to the individual future homes will be from a newly created private streets which will run
on land that is currently a part of the subject property.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the Final Environmental Impact
Report (FEIR) and Environmental Technical Analysis Memorandum, together with all written and
oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning
Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect
upon the environment based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City certified an Environmental Impact Report(EIR) on May 18, 2016 (SCH
No. 2015041083) in connection with the City's approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2015-
00114,Specific Plan Amendment DRC2015-00040, and Development Code Amendment DRC2015-
00115. Pursuant to CEQA, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required
in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial
changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment;
(ii)substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts;or(iii)new important information
shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR is required, the applicant's environmental consultant,
Psomas, prepared an Environmental Technical Analysis Memorandum dated June 28, 2018. Staff
evaluated this memorandum and concluded that the project is within the scope of the approved
overall project and analysis included in the Final EIR identified above and no additional
environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Tentative Tract Map
20147 and Design Review DRC2017-00925. Substantial changes to the project or the
circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe
impacts than those evaluated in the previous EIR. The previous environmental review analyzed the
effects of the proposed project. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, not have more severe effects than previously
analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts
of the project to a level of less than significant.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) Approval is for a request for a subdivision of a property of about

Utica/Cleveland Avenues. The specific location of the project site is
south of 6th Street and east of the future alignment of The Resort

treatment BMPs must not be used for areas of industrial or light industrial activity(77), areas subject
to high vehicular traffic (25,000 or more daily traffic); car washes; fleet storage areas; nurseries; or
any other high threat to water quality land uses or activities.
e. Class V injection wells or dry wells must not be placed in areas subject to vehicular{78} repair or
maintenance activities{79}, such as an auto body repair shop, automotive repair shop, new and
used car dealership, specialty repair shop (e.g., transmission and muffler repair shop) or any facility
that does any vehicular repair work.
f. Structural infiltration BMP treatment shall not be used at sites that are known to have soil and
groundwater contamination.
g. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any
water supply wells.
h. The vertical distance from the bottom of any infiltration structural treatment BMP to the historic
high groundwater mark shall be at least 10-feet. Where the groundwater basins do not support
beneficial uses, this vertical distance criteria may be reduced, provided groundwater quality is
maintained.
i. Structural infiltration treatment BMPs shall not cause a nuisance or pollution as defined in Water
Code Section 13050.
