been revised a few times since the letter was received. The current proposal does not include the sewer lift station; the proposed development would establish its own HOA and maintain the arroyo within the project site. Staff believes that RHOA's comments have been addresses through project revisions and /or conditions of approval. Public notices were sent to all property owners and tenants within a 1,000 -foot radius of the project site, including the project site. Bertram Robarts, resident at 2157 Camino Brazos, contacted staff and indicated he opposes the proposed residential development as it would bring additional traffic to the area, impact existing schools, and may result in an increase in crime. Debra and John Griffith, residents at 2380 Via Espada emailed staff, opposing the proposed development. The Griffith stated that they bought their property for the privacy, quiet location and the beauty of the creek and walnut trees all along the back side. The proposed development would ruin their neighborhood and replace their views with more homes. Staff has not received other comments or concerns from any of the adjacent owners or tenants. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared for the Housing Element update in 2011. The project site was part of Housing Element update. The proposed development is substantially consistent with the 2011 Housing Element update, which was analyzed in the SEIR. No new information or changed circumstances have occurred that would require supplemental environmental review, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162. Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the proposed project is in keeping with the existing residential developments on Rose Avenue. The homes are attractive and the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding developments. Staff, therefore, believes that the proposed development merits a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission forward Case PUD -99 to the City Council with a recommendation of approval by taking the following actions: 1. Find that the anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed development are adequately evaluated in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2011 Housing Element update and that none of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines PUD -99 Planning Commission 15
