TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TERESA McCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: MATTHEW DOWNING, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 18-002; AMENDMENT
TO VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 15-001 REGARDING
CONSTRUCTION HOURS AND TIMING OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL
INSTALLATION; LOCATION – SUBAREA 2 OF THE EAST CHERRY
AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN; APPLICANT – WATHEN CASTANOS
HOMES; REPRESENTATIVE – CAROL FLORENCE, OASIS
ASSOCIATES
DATE: MAY 1, 2018
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Recommendation for approval of the project modifications will allow the City Council to
consider the requested amendments to conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative
Tract Map 15-001 to allow construction to occur on Saturdays and timing of traffic signal
installation from issuance of building permit to issuance of certificate of occupancy for
Subarea 2 of the East Cherry Avenue Specific Plan.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
No direct impacts associated with the proposal will affect financial or personnel
resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution, recommending the
City Council modify conditions of approval to allow for Saturday construction of
residences for Subarea 2 of the East Cherry Avenue Specific Plan and maintain the
requirement for the traffic signal at Traffic Way and Fair Oaks Avenue be installed prior
to issuance of the first building permit.
BACKGROUND:
On January 10, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4771 approving the East
Cherry Avenue Specific Plan (the “Specific Plan”) and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 15 -
001 for Subarea 2 of the Specific Plan (Attachment 1). The applicants have been
working toward recordation of the final map, but have identified two (2) items of concern
that requires City action to remedy. Subsequently, the applicants have submitted the
subject application to modify conditions of approval (COA) for the project.

Project Description
The proposed project is two parts. The first part is a request to amend COA #49 and
#157 to allow for construction activities to occur on Saturdays for the duration of the
project (Attachment 2). The second part is to amend COA #162 to delay the traffic
signal installation from prior to building permit issuance to prior to issuance of the first
certificate of occupancy (Attachment 3).
Staff Advisory Committee
The Staff Advisory Committee (SAC) reviewed the revised project on April 11, 2018.
Members of the SAC discussed the reduction in total construction duration allowing
construction on Saturday, the impact to adjacent residences resulting from this change,
and the issues with waiting until certificate of occupancy for the traffic signal to be
installed. Members of the SAC remained neutral on allowing construction on Saturday,
but recommended limiting the types of construction to those that do not require
inspections by the City if the Planning Commission and City Council are supportive of
the change in construction time limitations. The SAC was not in support of delaying the
installation of the traffic signal to certificate of occupancy due to the burden t his position
places on the City, as explained below.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Construction Hours
Conditions of Approval #49 and #157 restrict construction activities to normal business
hours of Monday through Friday, 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. Emergency exceptions to these
limitations are included in the condition. The proposed modification would allow for
construction to occur on Saturdays from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. for the duration of the project.
The applicant indicates that allowing Saturday construction will increase the rate of
production and reduce the overall duratio n of the project, as there would potentially be
fifty-two (52) Saturdays of work over a two-year project duration. The applicant indicates
that this will shorten construction by ten (10) weeks, or roughly two and one-half
months. As conditioned, no construction will occur on Sundays or official holidays.
The Municipal Code allows for Saturday construction throughout the City. However,
discretionary projects have recently been conditioned with limited construction durations
in order to reduce impacts on adjacent residential neighborhoods. On larger projects ,
this can be confusing to subcontractors who are used to working on Saturdays and
enforcement has been necessary on a number of projects in recent years. While the
SAC was sympathetic to the desire to reduce overall construction, they acknowledged
that Saturday construction can impact the adjacent neighborhood. For this purpose, the
SAC remained neutral on the item. However, the SAC recommended that if the
Planning Commission was in support of Saturday construction, the type of construction
not include work that requires City inspection at the time of construction (e.g., concrete),
as weekend inspectors are not available and reconstruction might be necessary.

TIMING OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION

PAGE 3
Therefore, the prepared Resolution has been worded to recommend those actions to
the City Council. It should be noted that allowing construction on Saturdays would not
authorize construction to occur on holidays, should they fall on those Saturdays.
Traffic Signal Installation
A traffic signal at the intersection of Traffic Way and Fair Oaks Avenue is required to be
installed with the proposed project. Condition of Approval #162 requires that the traffic
signal shall be installed and operational prior to the issuance of the first building permit.
This was a specific requirement of the Planning Commission when the project was
recommended for approval. The applicant indicates that it will be “physically impossible
to bid, order, and construct the signal prior to issuance of the first building permit”. The
applicant is requesting this timing be modified to be at the first certificate of occupancy.
The applicant has also proposed to bond for the improvement as assurance for the
signal installation.
The SAC was not in support of modifying the timing associated with traffic signal
installation to certificate of occupancy for a few reasons. First, no information is
provided to support the statement that it will be physically impossible to bid, order, and
construct the signal prior to issuance of the first building permit. Second, the timing was
specifically requested by the Planning Commission upon its recommendation and
maintaining the timing is in keeping with the spirit of that recommendation for approval ,
which the City Council approved. Lastly, waiting until the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy can place the City in the uncomfortable situation of denying new
homeowners from moving into their homes. The City has previously experienced being
caught in the middle of promises made by developers to new homeowners . Withholding
the ability for homeowners to occupy their residences typically casts the City in a
negative light for enforcing the requirements of the development. In order to ensure this
situation does not occur, it is recommended that the timing of the traffic signal
installation not be modified and the prepared Resolution has been worded accordingly.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Commission’s consideration:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution recommending the City Council allow construction
on Saturdays but not modifying the timing of traffic signal installation;
2. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution recommending the City Council allow
construction on Saturdays and modifying the timing of traffic signal installation
from issuance of the first building permit to the issuance of the first certificate of
occupancy;
3. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution recommending the City Council deny
the allowance for construction on Saturdays but allowing for the modification of
the timing of traffic signal installation from issuance of the first building permit to
the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy;

4. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution recommending the City Council deny
the allowance for construction on Saturdays and denying modification of the
timing of traffic signal installation; or
5. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Allowing Saturday construction would result in reduction to the overall duration of
construction of the subdivision. Requiring the traffic signal be installed prior to issuance
of the first building permit will maintain the original recommendation of the Planning
Commission and not place the City in a position to deny occupancy of residences by
homeowners due to the potential failure to install the traffic signal.
DISADVANTAGES:
Allowing Saturday construction will impact nearby residences by allowing significant
subdivision construction to occur on Saturdays. Not allowing the modification to traffic
installation timing could result in construction delay of the residences for Subarea 2 of
the Specific Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council has
previously certified an Environmental Impact Report with overriding considerations
regarding impacts associated with the E. Cherry Avenue Specific Plan.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENT:
A notice of public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 300’ of the project
site, was published in The Tribune, and posted at City Hall and on the City’s website on
April 20, 2018. The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in
accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. One (1) comment letter has been
received for the project (Attachment 4).

Dear Council Members,
On behalf of Wathen Castanos, we would respectfully rcqucllt modification of City Council Resolution
No. 4771 and specifically conditions of approval nos. 49 and 157, as noted below, to include
constrnction on SaturdRy for the duration of the project. Your approval of our request will at once
increase our rate of production and reduce the overall durntion of the project conslrnction. Constmction
would potentially occur on fifty-two (52) Saturdays over a two-year time spim and will, therefore, save
up to two und onc-lmlfmonths (10 weeks±) of the ovemll project durntion.
The following represents the requested changes to the conditions of approval.
COA #49
Petform constrnction activities related lo inspection during normal business hours (Monday through
ffiday Saluti/(I\', 7 A.M lo 5 P.M). The developer or contractor shall refrain from petforming any
work subject to inspection other than site mainlemmce outside of these hours, unless an emergency
arises or approved by /he Community Development Director. The City may hold the developer or
contractor responsible for any expenses incurred by the City due to work oltfside of these hours.
COA # 157
The movement of co11struction-related vehicles, with the exception of passenger vehicles, along
roadways acfjace11/ Jo sensitive receptors shall be limited to the //ours between 7:00 A.M and 5:00 P.M
Monday through~ S11111rd<~1i. No movemelll of heavy equipment shall occur on Saluf'dayrr, Sundays
or ofllcial holidays (e.g., Thanksgiving, Labor Day).
In closing, the Council's approval of Saturday construction will not only allow us to efficiently complete
the construction process but will also benefit our directly adjacent residential neighbors. ln addition, we
will, of course, comply with the City's noise regulations to ensure sensitivity to our neighbors. If you
have any questions or would like any additional infom1Rtion, please contact me directly via email at

RE: EAST CHERRY A VENUE SPECIFIC PLAN -SUBAREA 2 I .
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 4771 -CONDITION OF APPROVAL NO. 163/
MM TRANS-2A-REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION
Dear Council Members,
We represent Wathen Castanos, the owners and builders of the East Cherry Avenue Specific Plan
Subarea 2 single-family residential project. In January 2017, the Council approved entitlements for the
properties within the Specific Plan area. Since that time, the owner/builder has diligently pursued
preparation of the requisite documents to further the project and, ultimately, request that the City issue
the permits related to the various aspects of the project. We are excited to break ground and stait grading
activities soon after cessation of the rains.
Our familiarity with the conditions of approval and related mitigation measures, at this juncture, is quite
deep and we now fully understand the relationship between the permit(s) and construction sequence.
Based upon that, we have discovered that the timing of the installation of the traffic signal at Fair Oaks
and Traffic Way is impracticable. For ease ofreference, the noted condition is presented in its.entirety
and the problematic timing aspect highlighted.
'
163. MM TRANS-2a. Fair Oaks Avenue/Traffic Way: A new traffic signal shall be installed at the
intersection of Traffic Way and Fair Oaks Avenue.' The Applicant shall: 1) submit a funding
agreement between the owners of the three subareas for the Traffic Signal Improvements to
the City for review and approval; and 2) submit Traffic Signal Improvement Plans to the City
for review and approval, concurrently with the Project's public improvement plans. The City
shall ensure the traffic signal is installed and operational prior to the issuance of the
first building permit. (emphasis added) -
While Wathen Castanos is firmly comm.itted to fulfilling the obligations noted in the condition of
approval (e.g., the signal plans have been prepared and submitted to th~ City for review), it will be
physically impossible to bid, order, and construct the,signal prior to issuance of the first building permit.
While we acknowledge that the project's impact will add to the current delay at the inte!·section, the full
impact does not occur until occupancy of the individual projects. Since Subarea 1 (calculated for
purposes, of the Specific Plan as a 100-room hotel) and the Japanese Welfare Association's project on
Subarea 3 are not currently pursuing their projects, the impact of solely the single-family residences
represents a much smaller incremental impact. In addition, our client~. are willing to bond for the signal
improvement to provide additional assurance to the City of its construction. r-~"""""--""""'----"
