Elk Grove overall was on the top end of five acres of park per thousand residents, and Laguna Ridge provided for 6.9 - 7.6 acres depending on how household information was calculated. The provision of parks in Laguna Ridge was above the state standard, and fees would proportionally increase if additional parkland acreage. was added. Mr. Jordan clarified the supplemental fee program currently covered only half of the current Reardan Park site for acreage and improvement (covering only 20 acres of the 40 acre site), the other half remained unfunded, but the action of this itemwould provide for land allocation and funding for 30 parks and opposed reducing the size of Reardan Park. the elementary school. closer to existing infrastructure.

Elk Grove. City Counçil Regular Meeting, August 23,2017 Page:9d of14 Mr. Jordan responded. the Southeast Policy Area (SEPA) fee programs were being developed and would cover drainage, parks, and trails, and information on properties in SEPA was being submitted to provide cost estimates and projections on infrastructure. A20 acre park site was initially planned in the vicinity of the Bruceville Meadows Project but that park was moved to the Mendes. property. Bruceville Meadows was planned as estate residential with larger lots, making the amenity package different, and proximity to parks became the guide for the land plan. Parks included were pocket parks located along the channel and intended to enhance the trail system, with the project becoming a payer into the park program for acquisition, and those fées paid becoming available to the first eligible parklands that come forwârd for development. The fees paid would stay in SEPA (the prior item approval regarding Reardan Park provided a 9 acre parkland credit that could be used to meet development needs in SEPA). The SEPA fee program was structuring land acquisition for drainage at $150,000 per acre. He noted in Laguna Ridge the paseos and creek side elements were not counted towards parkland, providing for more oen space. Though SEPA was based on five acres of parkland per thousand residents, there:was an additional obligation to provide for the trail system. Vice Mayor Detrick requested staff track and differentiate the paseos; open space, and trail land in addition. to parks to demonstrate the variety of amenities in SEPA.

Speakers raised concerns that there was not. adequate notice of the proposed changes, opportunities were not provided to give general feedback, that increased density in the area would impact traffiç and the rural features within and in the: vicinity of'the Triangle Area, and potential higher density usès Carol Hess, Tim Van Gelder, Stan Mette, Jeff Mahan, Anthony Auriemma, Bob Scheblein, Carolyn Ryan, Robbie Jeremica, David Bersohn, Bob Campbell, Don Ryan, Jerry Cookson, and John Manikas supported continuing with the direction as provided at the March.29, 2017 special joint meeting utilizing thè Plan B: zoning diagram. Speakers noted land owners. had put plans in motion based on the March 2017 direction, the environmental review was set to commence, and the infrastructure required to support current allowed uses in the area could not. be financed as currently zoned. making development of properties infeasible. Speakers believed there was adequate notice and opportunity for parties to comment, that the proposed zoning changes did not affect the properties of others, the plan provided the south properties the opportunity to develop, and the proposed feathered zoning plan provided a buffer to rural properties to the north and would relieve the Triangle Area from higher density Bryan Wilson requested Opportunity Site 5 be studied as five acre Low Density Residential (RD-5) zoning under the General Plan Update. Hé stated a buffer to the agricultural residential uses could be maintained on the north side of the site. (such as one acre. residential sites or open space dedications), that the owner was willing to consider agreements, dedications, or parcel splits to meet specific use requirements (such: as keeping traffic ingress and egress. to the southeast ofthe project site), and that the improvements to the higher density use would improve drainage in the area and Motion: M/S Hume/Detrick to waive rule of procedure not to consider new business after 10:00 p.m. and to proceed with the remainder of the agenda.

Speakers raised concerns that a higher density use. was not complementary to surrounding rural uses, questioned if the proposed northern buffer area would be maintained, and believed a higher density project would place pressures to convert. the proposed emergency vehicle access point into an entry thorough Country Hill Drive which was not designed to serve such a higher density use. Ms. Lim questioned when County Hill was changed from a court to a drive. Mr. Shine noted Country Hill Drive could accommodate rural use designations and Council Member Suen supported the request to change Opportunity Site 5 to RD-5 to maximize use of the infill site, and provide for the most efficient use of land. He believed. the buffer to properties to the north and the emergency vehicle access could be maintained through additional constraints on the project, and additional design standards could assist with developing a project that fit with surrounding uses. Council Member Suen observed that traffic from the project would only use the south entry through the Silverado Village project and that the properties to the north would not be Vice Mayor Detrick and Council Members Hume and Nguyen did not support changing Opportunity Site 5 toi a higher density noting the area was within the rural boundary area. Vice Mayor Detrick observed that allowing such a change to a higher density could incentivize the neighboring property to the east (Silverado Village) to also request increased density for their properties in the rural boundary area. Council Member Hume cautioned residents' to: the north of Opportunity Site 5 that if the. current proposed project utilizing two acre agricultural residential lots was developed it would result in the use of The City Council deliberated on" the matter, and by consensus directed staff to continue with the direction as provided at the March 29, 2017 special joint meeting and to proceed with environmental review. utilizing AR-2 zoning for Opportunity Site 5, and utilizing the Plan B map delineating zoning for Opportunity Site 7.
