BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project site annexed into the City of Lodi as part of the Southwest Gateway area. The City of Lodi certified the project EIR, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, on March 21, 2006. The Project EIR was prepared as a program -level EIR, pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15000 et seq.). Subsequently, the City of Lodi adopted the Lodi General Plan in April 2010. This land use document utilizes the same land use designations as the previous annexation documents. The Lodi Zoning/Development Code was adopted in March 2013. On June 17, 2013, Van Ruiten Ranch, Ltd. submitted an application for the Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision project, which includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and review of the development standards for the Planned Development Unit. As part of the City's Growth Management program and subdivision map approval process, the Planning Commission reviews the requests that have been submitted to the City. Following a public hearing, the Commission makes a recommendation for City Council consideration. On April 9, 2014, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the 2014 Residential Growth Management Development Allocation. At this hearing the Planning Commission reviewed a request by Van Ruiten Ranch, Ltd. for (i) Growth Management Allocation for 145 Low -Density Residential Lots 55 Medium -Density Residential Lots and 88 High -Density Units; (ii) a Vested Subdivision Map for the Proposed Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision, a 74 -acre, 288 unit subdivision; and (iii) adopted Development Standards for the subdivision known as Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision located within Planned Development 41 Zoning District. The Commission received a staff report, heard the staff presentation; asked questions of staff as well as the applicant, opened the hearing to the public for testimony in support and in opposition to the application, closed the public hearing and voted 5-0 to recommend the City APPROVED: Stephen Schwabauer, nterim City Manager Council approve the applicant's request for 145 Low -Density Residential, 55 Medium -Density Residential, and 88 High -Density growth management allocation units ANALYSIS The proposed Vesting Tentative Map would subdivide the project parcel into 145 Low -Density residential single-family lots, 55 Medium -Density residential single-family lots, 1 High -Density lot (5.03 acres — 4.2 acres net) for future development, 1 - 5.83 acre detention basin, 1 - 5.15 acre park site, 1 - 15.2 acre future school site and associated public roadways. The subject site consists of a vacant 74 -acre parcel located at the extension of Century Boulevard, west of Lower Sacramento Road. The parcel represents 74 acres of the 257 acre "Southwest Gateway Project" annexed into the City in 2007. Surrounding land uses include agricultural land to the north, south and west and urban uses to the east. The topography of the site is relatively flat and vineyards make up the entire site. The allocation system gives priority through point assignments to projects that reduce impacts on services, infrastructure, and resources. The ordinance sets an annual growth limit of two percent of the City's population, compounded annually. Once the number of allocable units is figured, the City requires that the allocation units be distributed among housing types as follows; 65 percent low density, 10 percent medium density and 25 percent high density. The following calculation explains the current City population of 63,651 as of January 1, 2014 and 453 units available for 2014: 1. Calculate two percent of the City's current population: 63,651 x 2% = 1,273.02 2. Divide 1,273 by the average number of persons per household 1,273/2.812 = 452.70 3. Divide the 452.70 (453 du) units into the 3 housing types: 65% low density = 294 units 10% medium density = 46 units 25% high density = 113 units In 2013, the City Council expired allocations accumulated since 2008. In the five-year period since 2008, 2,235 allocations were added to the reserve. The Council eliminated 800 Low Density and 1,435 High Density allocations. This Council action created a new balance of 4,674 as detailed below in Table A.

Table C identifies the 2014 Total Allocations, the requested Allocations for the project, and the remaining overall Allocations. Table C: Growth Management Allocation for Van Ruiten Ranch The Growth Management Ordinance includes a priority location area and a point system to assist the City with prioritizing issuance of growth management allocations. The priority location area designates lands available for development and provides development categories of one, two or three, with Priority Area 1 being the first priority area for development. The priority areas are based on availability of city services (e.g., water, wastewater, storm drains, streets, police, fire and parks). The proposed project site is classified as an in -fill project. For scoring purposes in -fill projects are considered Priority Area 1 projects. The point system was established to rate projects based on various project merits in order to determine if one project should be approved before another, particularly if there are more allocation requests than there are available allocations. However, because the City hasn't had growth management allocation requests since 2006, surplus allocations have been accumulated. The proposed vesting tentative map is consistent with the current General Plan (2010). The proposed exclusively residential development aligns with the residential land use designations and densities assigned to the site in the current General Plan. The site for the proposed subdivision is suitable for the density and type of development proposed in that it is a flat piece of land.

The project design of the subdivision and type of improvements proposed would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that there are no existing public access easements on the site. The Planning Commission reviewed the project in its entirety and recommended the City Council grant the applicant 145 Low -Density Residential, 55 Medium -Density Residential and 88 High -Density Residential Growth Management Allocations.

Dennis Bennett P.O. Box 1579 Lodi, CA 95241 PROPERTY OWNER: Van Ruiten Ranch Limited Jim Van Ruiten 340 W. Highway 12 Lodi, CA 95242 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the request of Bennett Homes for 288 growth management allocations and a vesting subdivision map for the proposed Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision to be located at Lower Sacramento Road / Century Blvd., subject to conditions in the attached resolution. PROJECT/AREA DESCRIPTION General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Public / Quasi Public, Open Space Zoning Designation: Planned Development 41 (PD -41) Property Size: 74 acres The adjacent zoning and land use characteristics: SUMMARY The proposed vesting subdivision map seeks to create 200 single family lots with a 5 acre high density lot. The project includes a 5.8 acre regional detention basin, 5.15 acre park site and 15.2 acre school site. The proposed uses are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning designations. The project is accessed of the Century Boulevard extension with access points to the north and south. BACKGROUND The project site was annexed into the City of Lodi as part of the Southwest Gateway area. The City of Lodi certified the project EIR, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, on March 21, 2006. The Project EIR was prepared as a program -level EIR, pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15000 et seq.). Subsequently, the City of Lodi adopted the Lodi General Plan in April 2010. This land use document utilizes the same land use designations as the previous annexation documents. The Lodi Zoning/Development Code was adopted in March 2013. On June 17, 2013, Bennett Homes submitted an application for the Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision project, which includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and review of the development standards for the Planned Development Unit. ANALYSIS Existing Conditions: The subject site consists of a vacant 74 -acre parcel located at the extension of Century Boulevard, west of Lower Sacramento Road. The parcel represents 74 acres of the 257 acre "Southwest Gateway Project" annexed into the City in 2007. Surrounding land uses include agricultural land to the north, south and west and urban uses to the east. The topography of the site is relatively flat and vineyards make up the entire site. Vesting Subdivision Mai The proposed Vesting Tentative Map would subdivide the project parcel into 145 low density residential single-family lots, 55 medium density residential single-family lots, 1 high density lot (5.03 acres — 4.2 acres net) for future development, 1 - 5.83 acre detention basin, 1 - 5.15 acre park site, 1 - 15.2 acre future school site and associated public roadways. The typical low density residential lot is 65 X 105 and 6,800 sq. ft. The typical medium density residential lot is 40 X 95 and 3,800 sq. ft. The high density parcel is 4.2 acres in size net and anticipates 88 residential units. The development is separated into 3 distinct areas based upon density with varying housing types specified for each area. 2 ADJACENT ZONING DESIGNATIONS AND LAND USES GENERAL PLAN ZONING CLASSIFICATION EXISTING LAND USE North Low Density Residential, Planned Development 41 (PD- Vacant Land Medium Density Residential, 41) High Density Residential South Low Density Residential, Planned Development 41 (PD- Vacant land / Medium Density Residential, 41) Cherry Orchard Open Space East Medium Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Vacant and Open Space Open Space DeBenedetti Park West San Joaquin County San Joaquin County Agricultural use SUMMARY The proposed vesting subdivision map seeks to create 200 single family lots with a 5 acre high density lot. The project includes a 5.8 acre regional detention basin, 5.15 acre park site and 15.2 acre school site. The proposed uses are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning designations. The project is accessed of the Century Boulevard extension with access points to the north and south. BACKGROUND The project site was annexed into the City of Lodi as part of the Southwest Gateway area. The City of Lodi certified the project EIR, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, on March 21, 2006. The Project EIR was prepared as a program -level EIR, pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations, Sections 15000 et seq.). Subsequently, the City of Lodi adopted the Lodi General Plan in April 2010. This land use document utilizes the same land use designations as the previous annexation documents. The Lodi Zoning/Development Code was adopted in March 2013. On June 17, 2013, Bennett Homes submitted an application for the Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision project, which includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and review of the development standards for the Planned Development Unit. ANALYSIS Existing Conditions: The subject site consists of a vacant 74 -acre parcel located at the extension of Century Boulevard, west of Lower Sacramento Road. The parcel represents 74 acres of the 257 acre "Southwest Gateway Project" annexed into the City in 2007. Surrounding land uses include agricultural land to the north, south and west and urban uses to the east. The topography of the site is relatively flat and vineyards make up the entire site. Vesting Subdivision Mai The proposed Vesting Tentative Map would subdivide the project parcel into 145 low density residential single-family lots, 55 medium density residential single-family lots, 1 high density lot (5.03 acres — 4.2 acres net) for future development, 1 - 5.83 acre detention basin, 1 - 5.15 acre park site, 1 - 15.2 acre future school site and associated public roadways. The typical low density residential lot is 65 X 105 and 6,800 sq. ft. The typical medium density residential lot is 40 X 95 and 3,800 sq. ft. The high density parcel is 4.2 acres in size net and anticipates 88 residential units. The development is separated into 3 distinct areas based upon density with varying housing types specified for each area. 2 The Planning Commission is embodied to review the vesting tentative map and recommend approval or denial of the vesting map to the City Council. If the Commission approves, a Final Map for a subdivision of five or more parcels must be prepared, filed, processed and recorded as set forth in Chapter 17.54 (Parcel Maps and Final Maps), to complete the subdivision. The City Council has a final say on the approval or disapproval of the vesting tentative map. In accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section, 17.52.130, an approved Tentative Map is valid for 24 months after its effective date (Section 17.66.130). At the end of 24 months, the approval shall expire and become void unless, the applicant petitions the Planning Commission for an extension and the Commission grants an extension in accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.52.130 (13)(1). Access and Circulation: The project is accessed by the extension of Century Boulevard with access points to the north and south consistent with land use diagrams in the General Plan. The project incorporated the extension of Westgate Drive from the north. The overall circulation pattern anticipates development to the north, south and west. Streets have detached sidewalks to create a tree canopy consistent with historical Lodi residential areas. General Plan Compliance: The project site includes General Plan Land Use designations of Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Open Space and Public/Quasi Public. The proposed project is consistent with the current General Plan (2010) land use designations, layout and required density. The Low Density Residential designation mandates density ranges between two (2) to eight (8) units per acre. The Medium Density Residential designation mandates density ranges between eight (8) to twenty (20) units per acre. The High Density Residential designation mandates density ranges between twenty (20) to thirty-five (35) units per acre. The Van Ruiten Ranch project densities are: Low Density Residential — 5 units per acre, Medium Density Residential — 8.0 units for acre and High Density Residential 21 units per acre. The General Plan Land Use Policy 3 (LU P3) prohibits development at less than the minimum and maximum density prescribed by each residential land use category. The proposed project does comply with applicable General Plan density requirements. Zoning Compliance: The project site is zoned Planned Development 41 (PD -41). Planned Development zoning designations provide flexibility in the application of development standards that will produce development projects of superior quality, including retention of unique site characteristics, creative and efficient project design, etc., than would have been achieved through strict application of the development standards required by the primary zoning district. The proposed project is divided into three distinct land uses areas; low density, medium density and high density. The project provides for a wide range of housing options for the community. Planned Development Guidelines: The applicant has prepared the Van Ruiten Ranch Planned Development Standards and Guidelines. The organization of these guidelines is presented as a series of community design components that when combined create a comprehensive project design. The chapters highlight and articulate the various community design components, establishing specific development guidelines and standards for how the project will develop. As depicted in the development plans, the applicant is proposing to use several different elevation styles throughout the subdivision. The elevations use varying massing and architectural articulations. In addition, the subdivision is expected to allow custom homes and other builders to build homes at the project site, which will add architectural variations. Staff believes that the proposed design will provide not only an attractive streetscape, but interesting views from neighboring property owners as well. The project also includes a preliminary landscape plan that generally places one large street tree in each front yard among other accent landscaping including various shrubs, ground cover and lawn. The 3 landscaping plan would have to comply with the requirements of the Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.03.070 which regulate landscape water efficiency. Growth Management Compliance: The allocation system gives priority through point assignments to projects that reduce impacts on services, infrastructure, and resources. The ordinance sets an annual growth limit of two percent of the City's population, compounded annually. Once the amount of allocation units is figured, the City requires that the allocation units be distributed among housing types as follows; 65 percent low density, 10 percent medium density and 25 percent high density. For example, the following explains the 447 units available for 2014: 1. Calculate two percent of the City's current population: 62,930 x 2% = 1,258.6 2. Divide 1,259 by the average number of persons per household 1,259/2.812 = 447.72 3. Divide the 447.72 (448 du) units into the 3 housing types: 65% low density = 291 units 10% medium density = 45 units 25% high density = 112 units In 2013, the City Council expired allocations accumulated since 2008. In the five-year period since 2008, 2,235 allocations were added to the reserve. The Council eliminated 800 Low Density and 1,435 High Density allocations. This Council action created a new balance of 4,634 as detailed below in Table A. Table A: Growth Management Allocation History Table B identifies the available Allocations in 2013, Allocations provided to projects in 2013 and those available for 2014.

Conclusion Staff sent a copy of the application to various City departments for review and comment. Their comments and requirements have been incorporated into the attached resolution. Staff believes that the Commission can make the findings in order to approve the proposed project, subject to conditions outlined in the attached resolution. The proposed vesting tentative map, as described in the code compliance sections above, is consistent with the current General Plan (2010). The proposed exclusively residential development aligns with the residential land use designations and densities assigned to site in the current General Plan. The site for the proposed subdivision is suitable for the density and type of development proposed in that it is a flat piece of land. Also the design of the subdivision and type of improvements would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that there are no existing public access easements on the site. Further, as stated in the code compliance sections above, the applicant has proposed development standards for this subdivision that are consistent with the historical development of the City. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The project is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All potentially significant environmental impacts were publicly disclosed and made available for comment via Lodi Annexation Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, dated April 2006, prior to any decisions to approve any part of the whole project. On March 21, 2007, the City Council adopted Lodi Annexation Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, and Mitigation and Monitoring Plan that analyzed environmental impact aspects of the proposed project. Subsequently, the City Council, by Resolution No. 2010-41, which became effective on April 7, 2010, certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse No. 20009022075, for the City of Lodi General Plan.

MINUTES None 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the Community Development Department, Chair Jones called for the public hearing to consider the request of the Planning Commission for a Use Permit to allow a Type -48 On -Sale Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits for The Barking Dog at 302 N. California Street. (Applicant: David Smith; File 13-U-15; CEQA Determination: Exempt per Section 15321) Senior Planner Craig Hoffman gave a brief PowerPoint presentation based on the staff report. Staff is not making a recommendation due to the past history with the establishment. A draft resolution for approval has been provided and some of the conditions were read allowed for the benefit of the audience. Vice Chair Kiser asked why we are not considering the 300 foot measurement that is a part of our ordinance. Planner Hoffman stated that section is no longer a part of this Development Code. The new Development Code uses the General Plan requirements for noise and it is much more restrictive. Commissioner Slater asked where the patrons are going to smoke. Planner Hoffman stated that to applicant would be a better person to answer that question. Commissioner Heinitz disclosed that he walked the neighborhood and spoke with Ms Docktor, a resident who filed a letter against the project. Hearinq Opened to the Public • David Smith, applicant, came forward to answer questions. Mr. Smith addressed the smoking issued brought up by Commissioner Slater. Smoking will need to be at least 20 feet from any entrance to the establishment. He stated that he personally walked the neighborhood and was able to speak with some, not all, of the residences. He was able to get a few signatures on a petition showing favor for the project. • Commissioner Heinitz asked about the room that was built to shelter the noise from getting outside. Mr. Smith stated that he does not have any intentions of having loud music. He would like to take this back to what it was before the previous operator turned it into a nuisance. • Commissioner Slater asked if the patrons will be smoking inside. Mr. Smith stated that they will not. Slater asked if they will be smoking out back. Mr. Smith stated that would be the preferred spot. Slater asked if Mr. Smith is prepared to conduct a smoke free bar. Smith stated he is prepared to have a smoke free bar. Page 2 of S April 9, 2014 PC Minutes Continued • Chair Jones asked for clarification regarding the back patio. Hoffman stated that no one is to be on the back patio. It is only provided as an emergency exit. • Larry Sausada, neighborhood resident, came forward to object to the project. He stated that the applicant and owner came to his residence to talk with him regarding the project and asked him to give them a chance to prove themselves. Mr. Sausada stated that he signed the petition based on what the gentleman told him. He is still concerned about the fact that he was told they wanted three months, but he isn't seeing that condition in the project. The problem with the smoking isn't the smoke; it's the volume and language. Lesley Docktor, neighborhood resident, came forward to object to the project. She pointed out her letter that she submitted. Ms Docktor does not feel this is a good location for a bar. In the past the problems have occurred typically after midnight, so if the applicant is going to be allowed to increase the hours that will be an issue. Commissioner Heinitz asked if Ms Docktor lived in the neighborhood when the bar was operated as the original Barking Dog. Ms. Docktor stated that yes she has lived there for a long time. She restated her concern for having a bar at this location. • Tyler Montgomery, neighborhood resident, came forward to object to the project. He stated that Holly Drive is already an issue for speeding. In the past the bar patrons have parked on Holly so that the police won't see their vehicle in the bar parking lot. • Mike Albert, neighborhood resident, came forward to object to the project. Since the bar has been closed the walking traffic from the bar and questionable driving traffic has not been an issue. • Sarah Lee, neighborhood resident, came forward to object to the project. She stated that she is a long-time resident and was a patron on occasion of the original barking dog, but the current actions have been bad enough to convince her that this is not a good location for a bar. Public Portion of Hearing Closed • Commissioner Slater asked if the project can be conditioned to bring it back in ninety days. Planner Hoffman stated yes. Slater asked if the smoking can be conditioned. Director Schwabauer stated not the smoking, but the noise of the people congregating can be. • Vice Chair Kiser stated that he cannot support this project in this location. • Commissioner Heinitz stated that just because it was a bar doesn't mean it should be a bar again. The location no longer meets the criteria for allowing this type of establishment. • Commissioner Olson stated that after all the concerns that have been expressed from the neighborhood residences she does not feel this is a good use at this location. If the bar is supposed to be a neighborhood bar the neighbor should want it there. MOTION /VOTE: The Planning Commission, on motion of Commissioner Kiser, Slater second, denied the Use Permit to allow the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 48 license at 302 / 310 North California Street. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners — Heinitz, Kiser, Olson, Slater and Chair Jones Noes: Commissioners — None Absent: Commissioners - Hennecke and Kirsten b) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the Community Development Department, Chair Jones called for the public hearing to consider the request of the Planning Commission for Growth Management Allocation for 145 Low Density Residential Lots 55 Medium Density Residential Lots and 88 High Density Units; and A Vested Subdivision Map for the Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision, a 74 acre, 288 unit subdivision; and Adopt Development Standards for the subdivision known as Van Ruiten Ranch Subdivision located within 2 Page 3 of S April 9, 2014 PC Minutes Continued Planned Development 41 Zoning District. (Applicant: Bennett Homes.; File #'s: 13-S-02 and 13 -GM - 02; CEQA Status: Project Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2005092096, Certified on November 15, 2006) Senior Planner Craig Hoffman gave a brief PowerPoint presentation based on the staff report. Staff recommends approval of the project as conditioned. Commissioner Kiser asked about the off-street parking and accessibility of the fire life safety vehicles. Planner Hoffman point out the area in the document to find the information that shows that there is room for those items. Kiser asked if there will be any mello rues for the project. Staff stated that the applicant will need to answer that question. Commissioner Slater asked why Century Blvd isn't straighter. Hoffman stated that the bend is intended to slow drivers down. Slater stated that the future growth will extend west beyond the edge of this development and if Century Blvd is intended to be a thoroughfare shouldn't the street be straighter to allow for better traffic flow. Hoffman stated that the intent for this street is to be maintained as residential through this area. Slater stated his concerns about the planting areas being too small to accommodate mature trees. Hoffman stated that there will not be a meandering sidewalk which will allow for the five to six foot planting strips. Public Works Staff has taken a look at that and it is consistent with the City Standards. Commissioner Heinitz asked what type of buffer will be put in place to protect the residences from the current ag land operations. Hoffman stated that a right to farm notice will be a part of the disclosure to the property owners that will purchase in that area. Heinitz stated that it would be a good idea to put some type of buffer until the future growth can occur. Vice Chair Kiser expressed the same concern. A buffer can always be taken out when the growth occurs, but a buffer is a legitimate concern. Chair Jones stated that as a good neighbor a buffer should be put in by the developer. Commissioner Olson asked for clarification regarding the landscaping. Hoffman stated that the concern in the email states that the meandering sidewalk would cause the landscape area to narrow to a point that would not sustain a tree. Olson asked if staff is finding that the past landscape area isn't working. Schwabauer stated trees and sidewalks will never get along. When you start expanding the landscape strip then it affects the Housing Element standard. HCD gets concerned when you start building developments that are priced outside of the market. Olson asked if this is still going to add to a future expense. Schwabauer stated that every development could plant Crape Myrtles or maybe Chinese Pistash, but if you want a tree that is going to have a canopy you will eventually run into sidewalk issues. Olson asked about the storm water runoff running through the landscape strip. Deputy Public Works Director Swimley stated that this type of landscape strip will be similar to the one on Lower Sacramento Road north of Lodi Avenue without the meandering sidewalk, so it is not conducive to storm water runoff. Vice Chair Kiser asked if purple pipe will be used on this project. Swimley stated that yes purple pipe will be used. Kiser asked if the standard regarding the type of trees to be planted in the landscape strip is being enforced on this project and he would also like to see a block wall built along the west side of the project. Swimley stated that the standard will be required to be followed. Block walls are required on reverse frontage, but not as a project boundary. This fence requirement is similar to what was approved with the Rose Gate project. Commissioner Slater asked if the tree list has trees that are missile toe resistant. Swimley stated that staff has attempted to identify the trees that have shown resistance in the past to missile toe. Controlling it is a combination of annual maintenance an choosing the right trees. Hearing Opened to the Public • Dennis Bennett, representative for the Van Ruiten Ranch, came forward to answer questions. • Commissioner Slater stated that he is also concerned about the wood fencing. Bennett stated that there are issues with any type of wall or fence. The wood fences will rot, but the block wall is a graffiti magnet. Slater asked if the wood will be pressure treated. Bennett 3 Page 4 of S April 9, 2014 PC Minutes Continued stated that he cannot guarantee that they will be. Slater asked staff if a requirement can be made to make the post for the fence pressure treated. Hoffman asked if this is only going to be along the western boundary. Slater state that he would like to see it there and it would be nice if all the wood fences in the development utilized pressure treated posts. Hoffman stated that the requirement could be justified for the western edge. • Miranda O'Mahony, resident, came forward to express her concerns with the water shortage the area is experiencing and what steps this development is taking to alleviate the demand on the supply. Kiser stated that the purple pipe will address some of the recycling or repurposing of some of the water. Ms. O'Mahony stated that there are also landscaping choices that can help with water conservation. Swimley stated that the City has adopted the State's water conservation guidelines as part of our landscape ordinance. Public Portion of Hearing Closed Commissioner Slater would like to amend the conditions to state that the fence posts in the fence on the western edge be pressure treated. Kiser stated that metal posts are now made and will last twice as long. Slater stated that he would defer to Kiser. Schwabauer asked for clarification that the fence will be built with that phase of development not prior. Commissioners agreed. Jones disagreed with the requirement. He doesn't feel that it is going to be necessary once the development gets to that stage. • Planner Hoffman pointed out that a revised resolution has been provided on blue sheet. MOTION /VOTE: The Planning Commission, on motion of Commissioner Slater, Olson second, finds the project has satisfied the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15153. The project is consistent with the findings of the previous environmental documents prepared for the Van Ruiten Ranch development and recommend the City Council approve the requested growth allocation and vesting tentative subdivision map. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners — Heinitz, Kiser, Olson, Slater and Chair Jones Noes: Commissioners — None Absent: Commissioners - Hennecke and Kirsten c) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the Community Development Department, Chair Jones called for the public hearing to consider the request of the Planning Commission for a Use Permit to allow a personal fitness training studio within an existing industrial building located at 700 E. Pine Street. (Applicant: Carl Hultgren; File 2014-05 U; CEQA Determination: Categorical Exemption Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 In -Fill Development Projects) Senior Planner Craig Hoffman gave a brief PowerPoint presentation based on the staff report. Staff recommends approval of the project as conditioned. Hearing Opened to the Public • Carl Hultgren, applicant, came forward to answer questions. He believes this is a perfect location for his project. Chair Jones asked if there will be equipment put in the building. Mr. Hultgren stated that the purpose is to use your own body weight.

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES None COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC (NON -AGENDA ITEMS) None COMMENTS BY STAFF AND COMMISSIONERS (NON -AGENDA ITEMS) Commissioner Heinitz wanted clarification as to whether or not a condition was added on item 3b for the fence. Slater stated that he did not add that for this project, but would like to bring the discussion back for future developments. Other Commissioners stated their desire to see an improvement to the fencing requirements for these types of developments. Commissioner Jones stated that he has more problems with the requirements for low-density and medium -density lot sizes and the narrow streets. He also added that he is a fan of gated communities, but acknowledges that those are the guidelines the Commission has to follow. Vice Chair Kiser asked if development agreements are going to be reconsidered. Schwabauer stated that you need to have a hammer to get a developer to agree. In the past we had the annexation as that hammer. We are not looking forward to an annexation in the near future. 10.
