HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 13038 (RANCHO ROBLES APARTMENTS) RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1) approve Environmental Determination project by adoption of Resolution No. 87-116, 2) approve Tentative Tract Map No. 13038 as recommended by the Planning Commission by the adoption of Resolution No. 87-115. SUMMARY: The Planning Commission at a regular meeting on September 28, 1987 recommended to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 13038 subject to conditions ;Dntained in Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2431. The proposed tract map would subdivide a 15.5 acre site into seven (7) numbered and five (5) lettered lots (for landscape maintenance purposes) permitting the development of 252 multiple family dwelling units. The primary purpose of the map is to facilitate financing of the project. However, the applicant is also requesting at this time that the Tentative Tract Map be for condominium purposes so that at some future date the project could be converted to condominium units without an additional map being required. In conjunction with the proposed project, the Planning Commission at their meeting of September 28th also approved Conditional Use Permit 87-20 which would authorize initial construction and occupancy of the project as apartments and Design Review 87-13 approving the specific site plan and architectural design of the project. The proposed project is bordered by Irvine Boulevard on the north, Heritage Way on the south, Myford Road on the west and a proposed neighborhood retail site (Lot 13) to the east. Other planned or anticipated development in the vicinity of the project includes a proposed 240 unit townhouse development to the south across Heritage Way, a proposed high school to the west across Myford Road and a neighborhood park to the southwest. DISCUSSION: Submitted development plans for the Rancho Robles story apartment buildings on a 15.5 acre parcel. the Medium High Density category (up to 25 dwelling the Multi-family/Condominium District regulations. the project is 16.3 units per acre. project propose 54 two (2) The project is classified in units per acre) and follows Actual density proposed for City Council Report October 7, 1987 Tentative Tract No. 13038 Page two The predominate feature of the site plan for the project is the grouping of units in a "U-shaped" fashion around parking courts each served off of an internal loop system. A more detailed description of the Rancho Robles project is discussed in the attached "Report to the Planning Commission" dated September 28, 1987. ANALYSIS• As indicated in the attached Planning Commission report all requirements of the East Tustin Specific Plan have been met. However, there are a number of issues pertaining to the project which should be identified. Conversion of Apartment Project to Condominiums - As a condition of approval of tact 12763, an affordable ous ng program or East Tustin was outlined by the Irvine Company. In that program it was demonstrated that affordable housing would be provided in East Tustin by the development of apartment projects. The developer was encouraged to seek financing through bond programs or other funding sources to facilitate provision of rental units at an affordable level. Provided Rancho Robles is constructed, and remains an apartment project, the affordable housing mandate of the Specific Plan Development Agreement can be met. In the event that the project is converted to condominiums, a revised housing program will be required. Other issues to consider with this aspect of the map involve: A future condominium plan; tenant notification; and the establishment of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (C. C. & R.'s). Staff believes that these concerns are all addressed adequately as Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2431. School Facilities - Correspondence has been received from the Tustin Unified School str ct on Tentative Tract Map 13038 (see attachment). While the Council may recall that school facilities were reserved'in conjunction with Tract Map 12763, the School Facilities Agreement between the Irvine Company and the Tustin Unified School District provides that the Irvine Company would not process for approval by the City final residential builder maps until an agreement is reached between the Company and District providing a funding mechanism for provision of adequate school facilities in East Tustin. In adopting the East Tustin Specific Plan, the City agreed to review the status of the implementation of the School Facilities Agreement at subsequent levels of project approvals, such as the approval of tentative builder residential tract maps and would address the impact of a project on District Facilities when tentative builder residential tract maps are submitted for approval. Prior to filing of Tentative Tract Map 13038, the City did request information from the District and Company on the status of School financing. While, no Community Development Department City Council Report October 7, 1987 Tentative Tract Map 13038 Page three response has been received from the District, correspondence was received from the Irvine Company on September 21, 1987 (see attachment). As indicated in their letter, the Company has prepared a Preliminary School Facilities and Financing Plan for the Tustin Ranch community which was then sent to the District on July 13, 1987. In addition, on August 14, 1987, they forwarded to the District a Technical Supplement to the plan which provided a more detailed explanation of the methodology used in the preparation of our Preliminary Financing and Facility Plan. While the Company has reached no conclusions with the District on the plan, Staff feels that there has been a good faith effort by the Company to address the requirements for the East Tustin Plan. In conclusion, the City has reviewed the status of the School Facilities Agreement between The Irvine Company and the Tustin Unified School District, the East Tustin Specific Plan, EIR 85-2, the impacts of Tentative Tract Map 13038 on School District facilities, and reviewed changes in State law, and finds and has determined that the impacts on School District facilities by approval of this map are adequately addressed through the reservation of a high school site and elementary site in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map 12763, and imposition of school facilities fees as a condition of approval of Tentative Tract Map 13038. Environmental Analysis - Based upon review of the subject map as well as l: vironmenta mpact Report 85-2 (as supplemented) it has been determined that environmental issues relating to this project have previously been addressed. Also, appropriate mitigating measures identified in EIR 85-2 are included as conditions of approval for the project. With this information in mind, it is recommended that the City Council make the finding that requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act have been met and that no further environmental review is required by adoption of Resolution No. 87-114. CONCLUSION With the inclusion of conditions of approval listed in Planning Commission Resolutions 2431, it is recommended that City Council approve of Tentative Tract Community Development Department City Council Report October 7, 1987 Tentative Tract Map 13039 Page four Map 13038 by the adoption of Resolution No. 87-116 and determine that EIR 85-2 adequately addresses environmental issues relative to this project by the adoption of Resolution No. 87-115. 14 W4 g, ltk ey av , r st neA.

The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. Tentative Tract Map 13038 is considered "project" pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act; and B. This project is covered by a previously, certified final environmental impact report for the East Tustin Specific Plan which serves as a Program EIR for the proposed project and; II. The East Tustin Specific Plan final Environmental Impact Report previously certified on March 17, 1986 was considered prior to approval of this project. The Planning Commission hereby finds: the project is within the scope of the East Tustin Specific Plan previously approved; the effect of the project was examined in the Program EIR; and all feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the Program EIR are incorporated into this project. The Final EIR is therefore determined to be adequate to serve as a Program EIR for these projects and satisfies all requirements of CEQA. Applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR have been incorporated into this project which mitigates any potential significant environmental effects thereof. The mitigation measures are identified as Conditions on Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2431 recommending approval of Tentative Tract Map 13038, Planning Commission Resolution No. 2430, Exhibit A of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2429 and Resolution No. 87-115 approving Tentative Tract Map 13038.

OUR FILE This firm represents the Tustin Unified School District with respect to the above -entitled project. The Tustin Unified School District objects to the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve and the City Council's proposed approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 13038. In particular, the District objects to finding I -(f) contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2431 adopted on September 28, 1987. Said finding states: "That the City has reviewed the status of the School Facilities Agreement between the Irvine Company and the Tustin Unified School District and has determined that the impact of this tentative tract map approval on District facilities will not be adverse and has been adequately mitigated by reservation of two school sites, a high school site and an elementary school site in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map No. 12763, and imposition of school facility fees as a condition of approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 13038." The District objects to the Planning Commission's finding that approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 13038 will not have an adverse effect on the District and that reservation of school sites and payment of school facility fees will adequately mitigate the impact that the project will have on the District. 0 0 LAW OFFICES PARKER AND COVERT City Council October 1, 1987 Page two After reviewing the staff report, documentations and other materials presented in the agenda packet for the Planning Commission, there is no evidence or other data which will support a finding that there will be no adverse effect on the District and that school facility fees along with reservation of school sites will exclusively mitigate the impact that the project will have on school enrollment. This project contemplates construction of 252 apartment units. Although we do not concede that the student generation factor and other data contained in the staff report are accurate, we shall use them for the sake of discussion. Using the generation factors contained in the staff report, it is anticipated that 28 elementary students, 15 intermediate students and 20 high school students will be generated from this project. Using the allowable square footage for each of these grade divisions as set forth in the staff report, it is expected that approximately 1,635 square feet will be necessary to accommodate the elementary school students who will be generated by this project; 1,210 square feet for intermediate students who will be generated by this project; and approximately 1,835 square feet for the high school students who will be generated by this project. Again, using the staff report's cost per square foot of each of these grade levels (i.e., $110.00 for K-5; $115.00 for 6-8; and $120.00 for 9-12), it is determined that approximately $539,153 is required to construct the facilities needed for the various students who will reside in this project area. This does not include the cost of land. Using the District's requirements of 10 acres for an elementary school site, 20 acres for an intermediate school site and 40 acres for a high school site, in conjunction with the staff report's cost of an acre of land in the amount of $500,000.00, the proportionate share of land required by this project for school facilities is approximately $592,757.00. Consequently, the total cost of providing adequate school facilities to the students who will be generated from this project is approximately $1,131,910.00. The District does not have the money to construct these facilities. At the present moment there is no money in the State Building Program and when funds are available, there is no guarantee that the District will qualify for the same. Realistically, the District is relegated to relying upon 0 LAW OFFICES PARKER AND COVERT City Council October 1, 1987 Page three school facility fees and the between the District and the adequate school facilities. 0 financing agreement made Irvine Company for providing School facility fees alone will not provide the needed school facilities. More precisely, there are 252 apartment units to be constructed by this project. Assuming that each apartment unit will contain 800 square feet of habitable area, only $302,400.00 will be generated from school facility fees for this project. (252 units x 800 square feet per unit x $1.50 per square foot = $302,400.00). Clearly, there is a short -fall of approximately $829,510.00. Funds other than school facility fees are needed to provide the required facilities. No where in the staff report is there any indication of where this short -fall will come from. There is no analysis concerning the amount or feasibility of the District obtaining State funds nor what can be expected from the Irvine Company pursuant to their financing agreement with the District. Thus, finding I -(f) of Planning Commission's Resolution No. 2431 is erroneous as it is not supported by the staff report. Moreover, the District takes exception to the September 21, 1987 letter addressed to Ms. Chris Shingleton from the Irvine Community Development Company. This letter has been included in the staff report package and states in the second paragraph: "We have been advised by legal counsel that the Tustin Unified School District's school fee program effective as of March 23, 1987, under Assembly Bill 2926, constitutes our only financial obligation to the District." This is not correct. Government Code section 65995 states in part: "Subdivision (a) does not apply during the term of any contract entered into between a subdivider or builder and a school district . on or before the effective date of this chapter that requires payment of a fee, charge, dedication for construction of school facilities as conditioned to the approval of residential development." 0 LAW OFFICES PARKER AND COVERT City Council October 1, 1987 Page four Subdivision (a) of prohibits any other by Government Code said section is development fee section 53080. the section that except for that provided It states: "Except for a dedication or fee, or both, required under section 53080, or pursuant to chapter 4.7 (commencing with section 65970), no fee, charge, dedication or other form of requirement shall be levied by the legislative body of a local agency against a development project as defined by section 65928, for the construction or reconstruction of school facilities." Consequently, the prohibition in section 65995(a) against imposition of other fees or charges is not applicable to this project in that the District and the Irvine Company have entered into a finance agreement, the effective date of which is prior to January 1, 1987. The Agreement provides that adequate school facilities will be provided before final building maps are submitted. Thus, the anticipated short -fall must be derived from this source, or any other source, and such a determination should be contained in any city resolution or ordinance adopting a tentative or final map which is covered by said agreement.
