. A +/- 5 acre site for a City joint neighborhood park/ storm water/hydromodification <br />detention basin. <br />Since approval of the MOU, the City Council, Planning Commission and the community <br />have had several public meetings regarding the project. These include a November 8, <br />2007 City Council and Planning Commission joint meeting held to discuss development <br />concepts which, along with the MOU, formed the basis for general planning concepts <br />and studies required to be completed prior to review of project PUD's. <br />Since the joint City Council/Planning Commission meeting, staff and City consultants <br />have undertaken the planning process, including the environmental review of the <br />project, that has resulted in the completion of a number of planning documents that are <br />being presented for City Council review and approval. These include the following: <br />. An amendment to the Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan incorporating the proposed <br />Staples Ranch development (Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples <br />Ranch) <br />. A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) including the Environmental Findings, a <br />Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation and Monitoring Plan <br />. An Ordinance establishing zoning for the development (Draft Ordinance Approving <br />the Staples Ranch PUD Rezoning/Prezoning Map) <br />A summary of these documents is listed below. <br />Specific Plan Amendment <br />Because the majority of the original Specific Plan area has been developed and <br />because of the numerous changes in plans, policies, and surrounding land uses over <br />the last 18 years, many of the policies and much of the text of the original SDSP <br />document are no longer relevant to guiding the development of the Staples Ranch <br />property. In recognition of these changed circumstances, a "stand alone' Stoneridge <br />Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch document has been prepared that <br />builds upon the original 1989 Specific Plan. Also, because it is anticipated that the PUD <br />applications for Staples Ranch will be submitted for Planning Commission and City <br />Council review within the next few months, only some specific PUD requirements have <br />been addressed at this time. Additional project specific conditions of approval will be <br />added to the individual PUD plans, as deemed appropriate by the City Council, at the <br />time such plans come before Council. <br />Since the October 22, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, staff has received two <br />proposed revisions to the SPA. First, Vulcan Materials requested a minor revision to <br />the SPA concerning access to EI Charro Road from the retail site. Second, staff has <br />made a small number of revisions to the SPA for clarification purposes. These revisions <br />are acceptable to staff and a listing of all changes are set forth in Attachment 9. <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />
