^ A Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GRAD) will be established to inspect the <br />development for any indication of erosion, destabilization of slope banks, the <br />functionality of storm drainage systems including detention ponds and the overall <br />stability of slopes including any landslide repairs or potentials for future <br />landslides, etc., and then to take appropriate action. <br />Public Improvements and Traffic Mitigation <br />With recordation of the first subdivision map, the applicant will pay $1,000,000 to the <br />City for in-lieu Traffic Impact Fees (TIF). These funds would construct a traffic signal at <br />the Bernal Avenue/Kottinger Drive intersection; would retime the existing signal at the <br />Bernal Avenue/Independence Drive intersection; would construct traffic calming <br />measures on Hearst Drive on a to-be-identified-basis; and would construct level-of- <br />service improvements to the City-wide intersections that are affected by the proposed <br />development's traffic. The applicant is also required to separately pay the Tri-Valley <br />Transportation Development (regional traffic) fees. <br />Construction Phasing <br />The proposed project will be conditioned to allow multiple final maps that may be filed <br />after the PUD approval is granted. If final maps are phased, the construction of the <br />backbone infrastructure will also likely be phased. If the applicant chooses to phase the <br />project, only Lots 1 through 7 would be allowed to move forward without construction of <br />the new water tank and emergency access routes. <br />Affordable Housing Agreement <br />To meet the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance requirements, the applicant would be <br />required to provide 20 affordable units at an off-site location which has yet to be <br />determined. This represents 20 percent of the original 98 units as identified in the <br />housing element. The 20 units would be affordable in perpetuity and would consist of <br />five units at the very low income level, ten units at the low income level, and five units at <br />the moderate income level. No decision has been made at this time as to whether the <br />units would be ownership or rental. <br />In the event that the Lin family or their designees do not develop the units within five <br />years from the approval of the proposed development agreement, the owner would pay <br />the City's Lower Income Housing Fee for 51 units at the fee amount then in effect, and <br />the opportunity to transfer the units would expire. <br />IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT <br />CEQA Process <br />The following is an outline of the sequence of steps in the CEQA process for the Oak <br />Grove development proposal: <br />^ Preparation of Initial Study ("Environmental Checklist") <br />On December 4, 2003, the Planning Department prepared an Initial Study for <br />PUD-33, the initial application for PUD development plan approval to develop up <br />to 98 single-family detached homes and ancillary improvements on the Lin <br />property. The Initial Study is attached to the DEIR as Appendix "A". <br />PUD-33 Page 11 of 59 June 13, 2007 <br />
