TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00238— PACIFIC SUMMIT - FOOTHILL, LLC (LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, BETWEEN RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE AND THE PACIFIC ELECTRIC TRAIL RIGHT-OF-WAY) — A request to allow for the first one (1) year time extension of a previously approved Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT16605M) to subdivide 24.19 acres into 6 parcels for the development of 175 attached condominium units (Sycamore Heights project) within the Mixed Use (MU) District, APNs: 0207-101-13, 17, 24, 25, 31, 34 and 41, and 0207-112-09 and 10. Related Files: General Plan Amendment DRC2016-00206, Design Review DRC2012-00672, Variance DRC2016-00207 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2012-00673. Staff finds the project to be within the scope of the project covered by a prior Mitigated Negative Declaration certified by City Council on October 4, 2017 (State Clearinghouse #2017071010) by Resolutions 17-098 and 17-099 and does not raise or create new environmental impacts not already considered in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Vincent Acuna, Associate Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and oral presentation (copy on file). He noted the Conditions of Approval were revised in order to establish a better legal mechanism to regulate off -site improvements for this project. Copies of the redline conditions of approval, as well as a clean copy, was provided to Commissioners via email prior to meeting. Anne McIntosh, Planning Director, confirmed with Commissioners they all received the email. Commissioners confirmed they all received. Commissioner Dopp asked why the decision was made to change so many of the Engineering requirements. Brian Sandona, Sr. Civil Engineer, answered the reason the additional condition was added to this time extension was because of the changes in the conditions in the field that have been realized since the approval of the project. There have been plan checks going on, along with storm drain updates. It was determined that the fencing in the right of way would need to be relocated, and this is memorialized as the new condition of approval. Chairman Guglielmo opened public hearing. Chad Stadnicki, Applicant, mentioned the 1-year extension will allow them to complete efforts requested by early next year and look forward to starting construction in first half of 2021. Keith Powers, Resident, expressed concerns that sewage could blast out of drainpipes and go into buildings/properties. Brian Sandona, Sr. Civil Engineer, confirmed that Engineering has looked at storm drainage for this location and determined that there will not be a problem with applicants' proposal. Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney, added in order to approve the project, the Mitigated Negative Declaration would have looked at whether there was sufficient sewer capacity to handle this project to prevent any kind of back-ups. In order to approve it, you would have had to make a finding that it was true. Commissioner Dopp mentioned he sees no problem with this time extension as is. Commissioner Morales stated it looks good. Everything has been covered. Commissioner Williams stated this is a good project and glad they will get started on it. In support. Vice Chair Oaxaca stated before commissioners today is simply a time extension and is supportive of the request. Chairman Guglielmo stated he agrees, and it is warranted. Motion by Vice Chair Oaxaca, second by Commissioner Williams to approve Item D1 and adopt Resolution 20-42 with revised Conditions of Approval. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0 vote.

HPC/PC Minutes — August 26, 2020 Page 3 of 4 Draft Approved: Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth Thornhill Executive Assistant, Planning Department HPC/PC Minutes — August 26, 2020 Page 4 of 4 Draft STAFF REPORT DATE: September 9, 2020 TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Anne McIntosh, AICP, Planning Director INITIATED BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 (LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF ARCHIBALD AVENUE AND 150 FEET NORTH OF MONTE VISTA STREET) - GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC. - A request to allow for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT17444), related to a 13-unit condominium development on 2.17 acres of land in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre) - APNs: 0202-131-27, -61 and -62. On October 10, 2007, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to the projects within the scope of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Time Extension DRC2020-00289 to allow for a one (1) year extension of the approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval. BACKGROUND: On October 10, 2007, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 for the subdivision of a 2.17-acre parcel of land and Design Review DRC2005-00250 for the site planning and architecture for a residential development consisting of 13 detached condominiums. That approval included a related Zoning Map Amendment (DRC2005-00523) to change the Zoning Designation from Medium (M) Residential District to Low Medium (LM) Residential District, to bring the zoning for the project site into conformance with the General Plan. The City Council approved the related Zoning Map Amendment (DRC2005-00523) on November 7, 2007. SITE DESCRIPTION: The project site is located on the west side of Archibald Avenue and north of Monte Vista Street, adjacent to the Chaparral Heights Mobile Home Park. The site is covered with ornamental grasses, shrubs, and trees and is traversed by an open stormwater facility. A. Project Density: 6 dwelling units per acre (4 to 8 dwelling units per acre permitted). B. The existing land uses, and General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and the surrounding properties are as follows: 008 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 — GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC. September 9, 2020 Page 2 Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Land Low Medium Low Medium (LM) Residential District Residential 4 to 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre North Mobile Home Park Low Medium Low Medium (LM) Residential District Residential (4 to 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre) South Single -Family Medium Residential Medium (M) Residential District Residences (8 to 14 Dwelling Units Per Acre) East Single -Family Low Medium Low Medium (LM) Residential District Residences Residential (4 to 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre) West Mobile Home Park Low Medium Low Medium (LM) Residential District Residential (4 to 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre) ANALYSIS: A. Prior Approvals and Automatic Extensions: This Time Extension application is a request to extend the approval period of the subject tentative map for one (1) year to October 10, 2021. The original approval for it occurred on October 10, 2007 for a time period of three (3) years. The original expiration date was on October 10, 2010. However, subsequent to the approval of the subject tentative map, the State Legislature passed a series of Assembly/Senate Bills automatically extending the approval period of various active tentative maps throughout the State. The approval period of the subject tentative map was automatically extended as shown in the table below. The Planning Commission had also previously approved three separate one (1) year time extensions of the subject tentative map (see table below). These time extensions were requested to provide time for the City to complete an approved storm drain improvement on 19th Street. Completion of the City storm drain system improvements would remove the project site from a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone and eliminate a current Engineering Department condition of approval to construct an enlarged onsite storm drain system to capture the existing stormwater runoff from the adjacent mobile home park. However, the 19th Street storm drain project has since been placed on hold pending funding. The applicant has moved forward without the storm drain improvements and is in plan check with the Engineering Department for final map approval. B. Time Extension Request (Tentative Map): The applicant is requesting a 4th one (1) year time extension of the subject tentative map to allow time for the applicant to complete the final map process. Following this time extension request, if approved, the applicant has the opportunity to request 1 additional one-year time extension. A breakdown of the approvals and previous time extension are as follows: Tentative Tract Map 17444 Approval History Approving Authority Approval/Extension Type Approval Period Approval Date Expiration Date Planning Commission Original Approval 3 Years 10/10/07 10/10/10 Senate Bill 1185 Automatic Extension 1 Year 10/10/11 Assembly Bill 333 Automatic Extension 2 Years 10/10/13 Assembly Bill 208 Automatic Extension 2 Years 10/10/15 Assembly Bill 116 Automatic Extension 2 Years 10/10/17 Planning Commission Time Extension DRC2017-00755 1 Year 11/08/17 10/10/18 009 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 — GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC.

Tentative Map Time Extensions: The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code regulates the subdivision of land through Title 16 of the City's Municipal Code. Chapter 16.16 is applicable specifically to Tentative Maps (Five or More Parcels) and provides for time extension requests through Section 16.16.170 - Extensions. Section 16.16.170.A states: "The subdivider or his representative may request an extension of the expiration date of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map by written application to the community development department. The application shall be filed not less than 60 days prior to the expiration date and shall state the reasons for requesting the extension." The application to extend the approval of the subject tentative map was submitted on August 4, 2020, and includes a letter outlining the reasons for requesting the extension (Exhibit A). D. Conformance with the Development Code: The subject tentative map meets or exceeds all development standards applicable to subdivisions in the Low Medium (LM) Residential District. The subject tentative map is for the subdivision for condominium purposes for the future sale of the 13 units approved for the project site. The subdivision remains unchanged and, therefore, remains in conformance with development standards for the Low Medium (LM) Residential District for multi- family developments. The project includes a related Design Review (DRC2013-00583) for the design and site layout of 13 detached units on the tentative map along with a Minor Exception (DRC2013-00941), to permit a wall above the height limit along Archibald Avenue for noise attenuation purposes, a Minor Exception (DRC2014-00358), to permit walls above the height limit due to onsite grades between lots, and a Tree Removal Permit (DRC2013-00942), for the removal of up to 39 onsite trees. The Planning Commission approved Time Extension DRC2019-00428 on October 23, 2019, for a two (2) year time extension of the related entitlements, with an expiration date of February 11, 2022. E. Public Art: Design Review DRC2013-00583 is subject to providing public art as outlined in Chapter 17.124 of the Development Code. F. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on October 10, 2007, in connection with the City's approval of the subject tentative map. 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 would 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 indicate 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. Staff evaluated Time Extension DRC2020-00289 and concludes that 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Biological Resources Survey Report (Vincent N. Scheidt; July 2019) was submitted as part of Time Extension DRC2019-00428. That report concluded that no native habitat types occur onsite, and ffm PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 — GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC. September 9, 2020 Page 4 no federally listed species were observed or are expected to occur on the project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the site, and development of surrounding lands. No direct or indirect impact to federally listed species is anticipated from the project or the related Tentative Map Time Extension. The application is for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved tentative tract map with no proposed changes to the scope of the original approval. Staff finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, 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. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Time Extension DRC2020-00289. FISCAL IMPACT: The project proponent will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these impact fees would support include the following: transportation, infrastructure, drainage infrastructure and police. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the lots will be assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is shared with the City. Additionally, the development will be required to create a CFD and each property will be assessed fees for the maintenance of the infrastructure related to the lots and fair share of improvements. COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED: Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to this application, the proposed time extension for the subject 13-unit condominium project furthers the City Council's goal of enhancing premier community status by providing additional market -rate for -sale housing units on a 2.17-acre infill parcel. With the approval of the subject time extension, the project retains the entitlements to construct for -sale condominiums that will provide a transition of density of the appropriate scale from the single- family dwelling units to the south to the mobile home park located to the north and west. Additionally, the time extension request is consistent with the General Plan Policy LU-2.5, to promote complementary infill development that contributes positively to the surrounding residential land uses. The related project is conditioned to relocate the existing entrance to the adjacent mobile home park and to provide a new signalized intersection at Archibald Avenue and Victoria Street, greatly increasing the safe access to the adjacent mobile home park. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular page legal advertisement in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. No correspondence has been received related to the project or the notifications. EXHIBITS: Exhibit A Time Extension Request Letter Received August 4, 2020.

Site Characteristics: The 2.17 acre site is comprised of three parcels and slopes gently to the southeast. The site will share access with the mobile home park that borders the site to the north and west. The site contains 45 trees of various species and the remnants of a stone -lined drainage channel. The mobile home park has an open storm drain which currently surface drains across the site and enters the public storm drain system at the southern property line of the site. ANALYSIS: A. General. The applicant proposes constructing 13 detached condominiums on 2.17 acres of vacant land. The proposed density is 6 dwelling units per acre which is in the middle of the Low.Medium Residential range of 4-8 dwelling units per acre. The project consists of three floor plans ranging in size from 1,705 to 2,113 square feet. Models A and B are two-story units with two elevations per floor plan; Model C is a single -story unit. The site will share ingress and egress with the mobile home park that abuts the project to the north and west. A new traffic signal will be constructed to aide access to both the project site and to the mobile home park. The project was designed to conform to the development requirements outlined in the Development Code for the Low -Medium Residential District. The Development Code does not give specific development criteria for condominium projects within the Low -Medium Residential District. This in turn, makes it difficult for the project to meet the setback requirements that are measured from the property lines when a condominium project, by its nature, does not have internal property lines. To overcome the issue, the applicant was directed by staff to meet the intent of the Development Code. This was accomplished by the project meeting the required side and rear setback as measured from the 6-foot high block walls surrounding the private yard areas of each unit. The overall project meets the front yard setback from Archibald Avenue. To overcome the reduced front yard setback for the individual units, the applicant was required to double the required on -site guest parking spaces. Each unit also includes two private enclosed parking spaces. The project exceeds 014 C W PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00523/SUBTT17444/DRC2005-00250 —CREATIVE DESIGN ASSOCIATES October 10, 2007 Page 3 the'Private, Common and Usable Open Space area requirements. The project also includes a large open grass play area, a tot lot and barbecue facilities to meet the Recreation Facility requirement. B. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444: Concurrent with the Development Review application is Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. The tract map proposes the subdivision of air space for residential condominium purposes, which will allow individual ownership of the homes and common ownership of the open space, parking, driveways, and landscaped areas. C. Development District Amendment_DRC2005-00523: The General Plan land use designation far the subject site is Low -Medium Residential. The Development District Map designation for the site is Medium Residential. The applicant has requested that the site be developed under the Low -Medium zoning designation. In order to bring the Development District Map into conformance with the General Plan, the applicant has applied for a Development District Amendment. This change will give the site the same Development District designation as the mobile home park which the site shares ingress and egress and abuts on two sides. D. Minor Exception DRC2005-00522: The project includes an application for a Minor Exception to allow a 7-foot high perimeter wall along Archibald Avenue. The project site is within an area of noise levels exceeding City standards according to General Plan Exhibit V-13. An acoustical analysis of the project site was completed and concluded that with a 7-foot high perimeter wall along Archibald Avenue, the project would comply with the City's exterior residential noise standards of 60 dBA. The Planning Director will considerthe approval of the Minor Exception following the Planning Commission's action on the related project applications. E. Tree Removal Permit DRC2005-00521: The applicant has submitted a request to remove 45 trees in order to accommodate the development of the site. An Arborist Report was prepared on May 17, 2005 which surveyed the site and found a total of 45 trees that qualify as Heritage Trees under the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Of those trees, all but 6 trees have been recommended for removal because of their poor condition. The report recommends preserving 6 trees if they can be incorporated into the landscape design forthe project. The Development Code requires that new developments plant 40 trees per acre of which 90-percent must be 15-gallon size trees and 10-percent must be 24-inch box size trees. To overcome the removal of the majority of mature trees on the site, the applicant will be required to plant 100 percent 24-inch box size trees to meet the Development. Code tree planting requirement. F. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (McPhail, Stewart, [Diaz) on February 6, 2007. At the meeting, the Committee members were concerned about insufficient guest parking and the aspects of the design of the homes. The applicant redesigned the project and the Committee reviewed the revised plans on July 3, 2007. Staff presented the revised drawings which satisfied all issues identified by the Committee (Munoz, Stewart, Diaz) at which time they recommended approval. G. Grading Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Grading Committee on February 6, 2007, and the preliminary Grading Plan for the project was conceptually approved. relN PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00523/SUBTT17444/DRC2005-00250 —CREATIVE DESIGN ASSOCIATES October 10, 2007 Page 4 H. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the project on January 6, 2007. The Committee recommended approval of the project subject to conditions contained in the attached Resolutions of Approval. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the imposition of mitigation measures related to air quality, biological resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality and noise, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on August 11, 2006, to discuss the proposed project. Property owners within 300 feet were notified of the meeting and approximately 53 neighbors attended. Those in attendance did not raise any issues regarding the project and a number stated that they felt that the project would be a positive addition to the neighborhood. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Dail Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. Staff required the applicant to post a large 4-foot by 8-foot Notice of Filing sign on the property, which was also used to post the City's public hearing notice. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Tract Map SUBTTi 7444, Development Review DRC2005-00250, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2005- 00521 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with conditions and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Staff further recommends the approval of Development District Amendment DRC2005-00523 to be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Respectfully submitted, ' 'g- Ja r) s R.

September 9, 2020 Page 3 unit multi -family development. The project site is within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District which permits the development of multi -family projects with a density of 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. The approved 13-unit multi -family development on the project site has a density of approximately 6 dwelling units per acres; and b. The site remains physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed subdivision. The project site is surrounded by residential development of similar or greater intensity and is well -suited for the proposed development. The project site has access to a public street and all public utilities are located adjacent to the project site; and C. The proposed subdivision, 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. An initial study was prepared for the original project that was approved by the Planning Commission on October 10, 2007, along with a Mitigated Negative Declaration, which reviewed potential environmental impacts created by the construction and operation of 13-unit multi -family development on the project site. Mitigation measures were included in the original approval reducing any potential impacts to less than significant; and d. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed subdivision complies with all development standards outlined in the Development Code for multi -family projects within the Low Medium (LM) Residential District including density, setbacks, and design; and e. The time extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance. State law allows for one (1) year time extensions. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on October 10, 2007, in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. 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 would 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 would indicate 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. Staff evaluated Time Extension DRC2020-00289 and concludes that 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Biological Resources Survey Report (Vincent N. Scheidt; July 2019) was submitted as part of time extension DRC2019-00428. That report concluded that no native habitat types occur onsite, and 035 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 20-43 TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 (TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17444) GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC. September 9, 2020 Page 4 no federally listed species were observed or are expected to occur on the project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the site, and development of surrounding lands. No direct or indirect impact to federally listed species is anticipated from the project or the related Tentative Map Time Extension. That report did find that the drainage channel that traverses the project site before entering a City's storm drain system may qualify as jurisdictional waters. Staff evaluated Time Extension DRC2020-00289 and concludes that 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Biological Resources Survey Report (Vincent N. Scheidt; July 2019) was submitted as part of Time Extension DRC2019-00428. That report concluded that no native habitat types occur onsite, and no federally listed species were observed or are expected to occur on the project site due to lack of suitable native habitats, level of disturbance that has occurred to the site, and development of surrounding lands. No direct or indirect impact to federally listed species is anticipated from the project or the related Tentative Map Time Extension. The application is for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved tentative tract map with no proposed changes to the scope of the original approval. Staff finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, 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. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Time Extension DRC2020-00289. b. 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 a one (1) year time extension of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, this Commission hereby grants a one (1) year time extension. The new expiration date for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17444 is October 10, 2021. 6. All applicable Conditions of Approval in Resolution No. 07-59 and incorporated Standard Conditions in Resolution 07-59 for SUBTT17444 shall apply to Time Extension DRC2020-00289. 036 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 20-43 TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00289 (TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17444) GOLDEN AVENUE DEVELOPMENT, INC.
