use Clara Lane from 8:00 a. m. to 6:00 p. m. Staff agrees with this condition. When the PUD for the Hatsushi project was approved in 2006, construction traffic from the Hatsushi project was urged to use Clara Lane, as is set forth in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. 4. Frank Jardin, 751 Clara Lane, expressed concern about how close the Clara Lane extension and related road improvements would be to his house. Staff Comments: Mr Jardin has already deeded land and granted easements to the City for the extension of Clara Lane. In a deal between Delco Builders and Mr. Jardin, Delco Builders paid Mr Jardin $133,556 to grant the land and easements to the City. Delco Builders also paid the City for the road improvements across the Jardin property. 5. Jeff Nespor, 837 Clara Lane, expressed concerns about the logistics of the Clara Lane extension, such as how the drainage will be handled, where retaining walls are proposed, etc. Staff Comments: Staff is committed to working with surrounding neighbors on the logistics of the road extension. In a deal between Delco Builders and the Nespors, Delco Builders paid the Nespors $70,000 to move the road extension farther onto their property and farther away from Mr. Jardin's house. The Nespors will have to reimburse Aminian-Sadri for the cost of the Clara Lane improvements along the Nespor frontage when the Nespors' develop their property. ENVfRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT An Environmental Impact Report was prepared and certified for the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) specifies that individual residential development projects that are prepared pursuant to the requirements of an adopted specific plan, for which an EIR has been prepared and certified, are exempt from additional environmental review. Therefore, no environmental document accompanies this report. CONCLUSION Staff believes that as conditioned, the proposed development will be attractive. The applicants, in staff's opinion, satisfactorily addressed all of the standards and guidelines of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan for this area, including architectural and landscape design criteria, grading, geotechnical concerns, etc. Therefore, staff believes this will be an attractive addition to the City's neighborhoods and is consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan.
