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 site plan and architectural review of 80 for sale
detached residential condominium units; and
g. The applicant has chosen a combination of Contemporary, Art Deco, and Main
Street architectural styles. Each proposed architectural style is true to its respective design
vernacular, utilizing architecturally appropriate materials, colors, and finishes; and
h. The required density within Placetype S-20 - Village Neighborhood (VN) is 16 to
28 dwelling units per acre. The project as proposed has a density of 16.84 dwelling units/acre
(80units/4.75 acres), in compliance with the Master Plan; and
i. The project provides 175 resident parking spaces along with 27 guest parking
spaces, for a total of 202 parking spaces, which meets the minimum requirement of 202 spaces;
and
j. Individual projects within the Specific Plan area are required to provide 150 square
feet of a combination of private and common open space area. Depending on the floor plan, each
unit is proposed to have between 200 to 300 square feet of private open space. Additionally, there
is 84,557 square feet of common open space proposed. Counting both the private and common
open spaces areas, there will be an available open space area of approximately 1,300 square
feet for each unit, which greatly exceeds the Specific Plan requirement; and
k. All streets within the interior of the project will be private, i.e. maintained by a
homeowner's association. However, these streets will be open to the public (non-residents of the
project). Primary vehicular access into the project will be private street connections to The Resort
Parkway and the Loop Road (temporary name); and
I. The project includes a tentative tract map to subdivide the 4.75-acre project site
into two (2) numbered lots and three (3) lettered lots for condominium purposes. The applicant
proposes this subdivision to facilitate maintenance responsibilities, financing, and the sale of the
individual condominium units; and
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above -
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed development is in accord with the General Plan. The General Plan
land use designation for the overall Master Plan area is Mixed Use. The overall Master Plan area
will provide a mix of land uses, though does not require each parcel within the Master Plan area
to have a mix of land uses. The proposed project is for the development of 80 for -sale, detached
residential condominium units which is permitted as the project is part of a larger Mixed -Use
development.

b. The proposed development is in accord with the objectives of the Development
Code and the surrounding area. The land use that would be associated with this project is
consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the
community. The zoning of the property and all properties surrounding the subject property is
Mixed Use (MU), Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 1, which permits the construction of
residential units. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code, the
Empire Lakes Specific Plan, and Placetype S-20 in which it is located.
C. The proposed development complies with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code and the Empire Lakes Specific Plan. The proposed development meets
all standards outlined in the Development Code and the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, and the
design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City.
d. The proposed development, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The project site is currently vacant; the proposed land use is
consistent with the land uses within the vicinity where it is located and the expectations of the
community. The zoning of the property and all the surrounding properties is Mixed Use and is in
Planning Area 1, which allows for the development of different types of residential units.
Furthermore, the applicant's environmental consultant, Psomas, prepared an Environmental
Technical Analysis Memorandum dated February 22, 2019, which demonstrates that the subject
project is within the scope of the approved overall project and analysis included in the Final EIR.
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 Guidelines Section 15162, 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.
b. To demonstrate that no subsequent EIR is required, the applicant's
environmental consultant, Psomas, prepared an Environmental Technical Analysis Memorandum
dated February 22, 2019. 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 20240 and Design Review DRC2018-00851. 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
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-33
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2018-00851βTRI-POINTE HOMES INC.
April 10, 2019
Page 4
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, nor 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. The
Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and
based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
C. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant
to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Development Review DRC2018-00851.
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 in the
attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution
