Please be advised that after reviewing the subject applications, your submittal has been
deemed incomplete and further information is required before we are able to proceed with
the application process.
The following documentation is required to complete the application:
1. Property Owner’s Signature. Please be advised, the property owner’s signature on
an application for a tentative tract map shall be notarized.
2. Proof of Ownership. A Preliminary Title Report not more than six months old shall
be submitted for all properties involved in this application.
3. Signatory Information. Please provide documentation that demonstrates Steven
Ganalon has the authority to sign on behalf of the property ownership.
4. Environmental Review. A phase one environmental study should be considered
prior the next submittal. As this project is a General Plan amendment, it is likely it will
require a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
5. Project Plans. Corrections have been issued on the project plans provided, please
see attached.
6. Project Renderings. The majority of the project renderings appear to be from a
perspective far above ground level. Please consider providing renderings that are
more from a “human scale” perspective. For instance, if a person is driving through
the intersection toward Bonita Canyon Drive, what will the project look like?

7. Project Description and Design. The following concerns were identified in our
meeting on May 24, 2018, and should be carefully considered and addressed prior
to resubmittal:
a. Height Limit. Given the project includes a rezoning, the design should comply
with the maximum height limitations of 28 feet to a flat roof or flat element and
33 feet to the ridge of a sloped roof. Any proposed exceptions should be
minimal.
b. Materials. Please consider an alternate materials scheme.
c. Parking. A major concern is the project’s adjacency to the parking lot for the
Bonita Canyon Sports Park, a public park. The project’s design with
underground parking and limited access will likely push vehicles onto the
parking lot for the public park and create an enforcement issue. Please
consider an arrangement with the adjoining AT&T switching facility site to use
its parking as overflow and for loading/unloading. It should be made more
clear that the parking lot for the public park is not part of the project throughout
the plans.
d. Trash, Moving Trucks and Deliveries. Similar to item (c), please provide
details as to how trash, moving trucks, and delivery trucks will be
accommodated. This should also be clearly identified throughout the plans.
e. Public Benefit. Consideration should be given to an additional public benefit
to the immediate area.
8. Project Review Requests. Please be advised, the project plans were routed to
Building, Fire/Life Safety Services, Grading, and Public Works. Comments were
received from Public Works. Comments are still pending on the Preliminary Water
Quality Management Plan (pWQMP). All comments received must be addressed
prior to further processing of the application.
9. Digital Copy. Please provide electronic files for all of the resubmitted materials (i.e.,
CD-ROM). Be advised, the City no longer accepts USB flash drives.
10. Development Impact Fees. Please be advised, if approved, this project will be
subject to Fair Share traffic fees, Transportation Corridor Agency fees, and In-Lieu
Park Dedication fees. The current fee for each is detailed below. Both Fair Share
traffic and Transportation Corridor Agency fees are assessed on the building permits
for the project. In-Lieu Park Dedication fees are assessed prior to recordation of the
Tract Map.
a. Fair Share traffic fee: $1,792 per dwelling unit ($37,632)
b. Transportation Corridor Agency fee: $2,462 per dwelling unit ($51,702)
c. In-Lieu Park Dedication fee: $26,125 per dwelling unit ($548,625)

CORRECTION DATE: May 25, 2018
CORRECTIONS:
1. Please make the following corrections on Sheet Number A0.00:
a. Verify consistency of the site area listed. “Lot Area” notes 1.049 acres and “Zone”
notes 1.054 acres. In addition, these numbers do not match the area stated on
Sheet Number VTM-1.
b. Under “Setbacks,” please state the actual required side setback rather than the
generic requirements from the Zoning Code.
c. Density is based on actual lot area, not the allowable floor area limit. As such, please
revise “Residential Density” to show the lot area divided by 1,200 square feet.
d. Remove the “Private Balcony/Decks on Podium Level” listed under “Open Space,”
as it is already included in the “Private Open Space” below.
2. On Sheet Numbers C-1, C-2 and C-3, the proposed building is labeled as “apartments,”
which is confusing since the project will be condominiums. Please consider revising.
3. On Sheet Numbers L0.10, L0.20 and L0.30, please show the property lines.
4. On Sheet Number L0.20, please make it clear the existing public park parking lot will not
be used by residents of the proposed project. Including it as item number 11 on the legend
is confusing and seems to implicate it as part of the project.
5. On Sheet Number A0.01, please verify the areas listed under “Project Data” and revise the
setback requirements consistent with corrections 1(a) and 1(b) above.
6. On Sheet Numbers A3.01, A3.02 and A3.03, it would be helpful to show a line that
indicates the existing grade on the two-dimensional section drawings.
