Res P-04-59 RESOLUTION NO. P-04-59 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (DR) 04-04 ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS: 320-230-01 through 07,10, and 11 WHEREAS, DR 04-04, submitted by The Reserve at Poway, LP, Applicant: A request to construct 9 single-family homes on the 9 lots of Final Map 14018, located on Grange Place and Creek Road, within the Creek Road Enclave in the South Poway Planned Community zone; and WHEREAS, on August 31, 2004, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing to solicit comments from the public, both pro and con, relative to this application. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council ofthe City of Poway as follows: Section 1: The City Council finds that the proposed project has been adequately addressed in, and is within the scope of, the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) approved for TTM 98-07 on June 8, 1999. The project is within the scope of the prior environmental document; therefore, no additional environmental review or notice is necessary. Section 2: Pursuant to the City of Poway Habitat Conservation Plan (Poway HCP), biological reports prepared by Mooney & Associates, dated February 5, 1999, and May 25, 2004, were submitted for the property. Project development will impact Chaparral habitat located on property that is outside of the Mitigation Area ofthe Poway HCP. In accordance with the Poway HCP, the required findings for approval of the proposed mitigation for the removal of Chaparral habitat for Development Review 04-04 are as follows: A. The proposed project is outside of the Mitigation Area of the Poway HCP. The mitigation is consistent with and furthers the implementing objectives of the Poway HCP in that the applicant will mitigate impacts to Chaparral habitat at a 1:1 ratio. Said mitigation will be through off-site dedication of suitable Chaparral habitat and the recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement deed preserving comparable undisturbed and unencumbered habitat of equal or greater conservation value located within the HCP Mitigation Area, and/or by the payment of Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fees ($1 O,OOO/acre). B. Preservation of such habitat within the Mitigation Area and/or payment of In-Lieu Fees will contribute toward the building of the ultimate total Mitigation Area preserve system of the HCP. Therefore, such habitat preservation and/or payment of In-Lieu Fees will serve to enhance the long-term viability and function of the preserve system. Resolution No. P-04-59 Page 2 C. The habitat preserved through off-site dedication, or purchased by Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fees paid, will be to the long-term benefit of the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (PSHCP) covered species and their habitats in that the recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement deed over undisturbed and unencumbered habitat (See "A" above) and/or the payment of In-Lieu Fees, will promote a meaningful addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of uninterrupted natural habitat resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife corridor. D. The preserved habitat will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP in an effective and efficient manner in that the preservation of off-site conservation area(s) will be within an identified Mitigation Area within the City, and/or the payment of In-Lieu Fees will likewise contribute towards assembling the total Mitigation Area preserve system. E. The preserved habitat will not result in a negative fiscal impact with regard to the successful implementation of the PSHCP as the subject mitigation lands will be dedicated to the City of Poway in fee title and/or placed within permanent public biological conservation easement deeds or In-Lieu Fees will be paid. Section 3: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.52 ofthe Poway Municipal Code, for DR 04-04 are made as follows: A. The project is consistent with the Poway General Plan and the Creek Road Enclave of the South Poway Specific Plan in that it involves the construction of 9 single- family residences on land designated for single-family development. The project has been designed to comply with the development standards for the Creek Road Enclave area. B. The project will not have an adverse health, safety, or aesthetic impact upon adjoining properties in that the project's infrastructure improvements, grading, and home construction are in full compliance with all City development standards. C. That the project is in compliance with the Zoning and Grading Ordinances in that the project complies with all City development standards of the Creek Road Enclave area, including those relating to building setbacks, building heights, lot coverage, and all City grading requirements. D. That the development encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the City as the surrounding properties consist of single-family residences. Section 4: The findings, pursuant to Government Code Section 66020 for the public improvements for DR 04-04, are to be made as follows: Resolution No. P-04-59 Page 3 A. The design and improvements of the proposed development are consistent with all elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City Ordinances, because all necessary services and facilities will be available to serve this project. The payment of fees toward public improvements is needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety, and welfare as identified below: a. The project requires payment of drainage, park, affordable housing, and traffic mitigation fees, which are assessed on a pro-rata basis to finance and provide public infrastructure improvements to promote a safe and healthy environment for the residents of the City. Section 5: The City Council hereby approves DR 04-04 to construct 9 single-family residences, pursuant to Tentative Tract Map 98-07, on 7.4 acres located at the southwest side of Creek Road, including two existing home sites at 11670 and 11674 Creek Road, as shown on the site plan dated July 7, 2004, and floor and building elevation plans dated May 28, 2004, subject to the following conditions: A. Approval of DR 04-04 shall apply only to the subject project, and shall not waive compliance with all sections of the Zoning Ordinance and all other applicable City Ordinances in effect at the time of Building Permit issuance.

The subject property is located outside of the PSHCP Mitigation Area; therefore, off-site dedication of unencumbered habitat of equal or greater conservation value is required. Said off-site dedication shall require the applicant to place 1:1 in-kind habitat in a Biological Conservation Easement. Said Conservation Easement shall be approved by the Director of Development Services and shall be notarized and recorded with the County of San Diego. In compliance with the PSHCP, the City shall subsequently re-zone the mitigation land to Open Space-Resource Management to insure its permanent preservation. The developer may opt to complete the mitigation requirement through payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee. Presently, the Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee is $10,000/acre. 7. In accordance with Condition H ofthe PSHCP Incidental Take Permit, a take of active California Gnatcatcher nests, which includes harassment ofthe bird due to grading noise and vibrations from February 15 through July 1, is not permitted. Therefore, any grading or clearing during this timeframe will only be permitted subject to the following conditions having been met to the satisfaction of the Director. The applicant is hereby advised that, during grading, if active nests are found within 500 feet ofthe grading, the grading activity shall be stopped until such time as mitigation measures to the satisfaction of the City and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) are implemented.

The biologist shall contact the USFWS to determine the appropriate survey methodology. The purpose of the survey is to determine if any active Gnatcatcher nests are located in the area to be cleared or graded, or if CSS habitat is within 500 feet of such area. To be considered qualified the biologist must provide the City with a copy of a valid Gnatcatcher Recovery permit from the USFWS. The scope of work shall explain the survey methodology for the biological survey and the proposed Gnatcatcher nest monitoring activities during the clearing/grading operation. Resolution No. P-04-59 Page 6 b. Should the survey show, to the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services, that active Gnatcatcher nests are not present within the area to be graded or cleared, or within 500 feet of said area, approval may be granted to commence grading/clearing within the Gnatcatcher nesting season between February 15 and July 1 with appropriate monitoring during that time. c. If Gnatcatchers are present within the area to be graded/cleared, or within 500 feet of that area, no grading will be allowed unless appropriate mitigation is completed. 8. The biologist must attend the City's pre-construction meeting for the project and must be present on-site during all clearing/grading activities to monitor that the clearing/grading activities stay within the designated limits. During this period, the biologist shall also monitor and survey the habitat within the area to be cleared/graded and any habitat within 500 feet of said area on a daily basis for any evidence that a Gnatcatcher nest(s) exists or is being built. Weekly monitoring summaries shall be submitted to the Planning Division. Should evidence of a Gnatcatcher nest(s) be discovered, the grading operation shall cease in that area and be directed away from the Gnatcatcher nest(s) to a location greater than 500 feet away from the nest(s). If grading is required to stop due to the presence of active nests, the applicant shall provide erosion control to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This paragraph must be included as a note on the cover sheet of the clearing/grading plan. 9. Upon completion of the clearing/grading activities, the applicant's biologist shall submit to the Director of Development Services a biological monitoring report summarizing the daily observations of the biologist, including whether any Gnatcatchers or evidence of active Gnatcatcher nests were present during clearing and grading activities within the area and any habitat within 500 feet of said area. 10. At a minimum, all protected areas, as shown on the grading plan, shall be staked by a licensed surveyor, and delineated with lathe and ribbon. The applicant shall have said staking inspected by the Engineering Inspector prior to any grading, clearing, or grubbing. A written certification from the engineer of work, or a licensed surveyor, shall be provided to the Engineering Inspector stating that all protected areas are staked in accordance with the approved project plans. 11.

City approval of soils' compaction report. c. City approval of a certification of line and grade issued and prepared by the project's civil engineer or City-approved replacement professional. d. Payment of development fees to the City, unless other payee is indicated. The fees and the corresponding amounts are as follows and are subject to change without further notice. The amounts to be paid shall be those in effect at time of payment. Applicant/developer shall advise the City of the number and size of water meters to be installed. Water base capacity fee (Resolution No. 91-123) For 'y." meter = $3,710.00 per meter For 1" meter = $6,678.00 per meter For 1%" meter = $10,388.00.00 per meter Other meter sizes = Contact Engineering Division Water meter fee (Resolution No. 91-123) For 'y." meter = $130.00 per meter For 1" meter = $ 270.00 per meter For 1 %" meter = $ 600.00 per meter Other meter sizes = Contact Engineering Division SDCWA capacity charge - To be paid by separate check, payable to San Diego County Water Authority but remitted to City of Poway. For %" meter For 1" meter For 1 %" meter Other meter sizes = $2,004.00 per meter = $2,994.00 per meter = $5,613.00 per meter = Contact Engineering Division Sewer connection fee = $15,549.60* balance (Which equates to $1,727.73 per lot for all 9 lots.) *(8 EDU's x $2,356.00) - $3,298.40 prior payment = $15,549.60 Note: The property has a reserved sewer LOA for 7 EDU's. The correct number should be 8 EDU's. In reserving the Sewer Letter of Availability # 269 (LOA 269) for TTM 98-07, it was assumed atthe time of reservation thatthe development needed 7 EDU's due to the fact that there are 2 existing residences in Resolution No. P-04-59 Page 9 the development. It was verified through City records that only one of the residences is billed the bi-monthly sewer charge, meaning the other existing residence is not yet connected to City of Poway's public sewer line, hence the adjustment is made. Sewer cleanout fee = $50.00 per cleanout Sewer cleanout inspection fee = $25.00 per cleanout Sewer Line Charge = $44,800.00" (Which equates to $4,977.78 per lot for all 9 lots.) ($5,600.00 x 9 lots) - $5,600.00 = $44,800.00 $5,600.00 is the amount assessed for each lot and one credit is taken out (one existing residence is already charged a bi-monthly sewer bill) of the total amount due. .. Subject to verification and/or adjustment. At the time of conditioning of this Development Review application 04-04, the applicant has requested information to verify the development of this amount. Since the information is not readily available, staff has told him that it shall be provided to him as soon as possible. Traffic mitigation fee per lot for all 9 lots) = $6,270.00'" (which equates to $696.67 Calculation as follows: Lot 1 = 1.02 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 2 = 0.49 ac. = $660.00 $158.40 = $495.00 Lot 3 = 0.37 ac. = $660.00 $158.40 = $495.00 Lot 4 = 1.10 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 5 = 1.27 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 6 = 0.94 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 7 = 0.96 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 8 = 0.63 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Lot 9 = 0.60 ac. = $990.00 $237.60 = $742.50 Total = $8,250.00 - $1,980.00 = $6,270.00 ... $8,250.00 - $1,980.00 = $6,270.00 where: $1,980.00 is credit for 2 existing residences (i.e., $990.00 x 2 lots) and this is pro-rated to all 9 lots. Resolution No. P-04-59 Page 10 $8.250.00 = $990.00 or $660 $1,980.00 X X = $237.60 credit for each lot of those greater than 0.50 acres and $158.40 credit for each lot of those less than 0.50 acres Prorate $6,270.00 to 9 lots to come up with $696.67 traffic mitigation fee per lot. Park fee = $19,040.00 (Which equates to $2,115.56 per lot for all 9 lots. The total amount of $19,040.00 was calculated based on 7 lots since there are 2 existing residences in the development, even though it may be rebuilt.) 7 lots x $2,720.00 = $19,040.00 $19,040.00 +9 lots = $2,115.56 Drainage fee = None (Public drainage improvements were constructed in lieu of drainage fee to be charged.) 5.
