BACKGROUND Site History The Lin property was annexed into the City on December 31, 1991. The site of the Oak Grove development was part of a much larger property purchased by the Lin family in 1977, which included the site of the adjoining Kottinger Ranch development. The property is currently used as range land to free-graze livestock. The Lin family constructed two stock ponds on the site to provide water for livestock. The City's Kottinger water tank is located in the southwest quadrant and is accessed from Benedict Court via an access and maintenance easement granted to the City. In October 16, 1984, The City Council approved GP-84-7 and PUD 84-5, which included the Kottinger Ranch development consisting of 156 single-family homes and permanent open space area. The open space area corresponded to areas of creeks, swales, and hillsides. To achieve the open space preservation, the Kottinger Ranch streets and homes were located on the flat and ridge portions of the site. Kottinger Ranch was anticipated and planned as the first phase of development of the entire Line property in that the Lin property was rezoned to position the property for development. In October 20, 1992, the City Council approved PUD-91-13, "Kottinger Hills," which proposed 86 single-family detached "production" homes in a conventional subdivision format, an 18-hole golf course, and approximately 237 acres of open space proposed for dedication to the City. The Council's action was overturned in a referendum election held on November 2, 1993. Proposal The property owners Jennifer, Frederic, and Kevin Lin, have submitted an application (PUD-33) for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan. The first submittal to the City was as a 98-lot custom home development with afive-acre neighborhood park, and a new water tank as referenced in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) as AH- 1. The remaining open space area would have been an open offer of dedication to the City. Public trails and a staging area were proposed to be built by the City after the City's acceptance of the open space as City land. Staff determined that there would be several environmental concerns and, therefore, required an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be prepared to identify which impacts would be significant enough requiring either mitigations or possible statements of overriding consideration.
