EDH APAC, Residents, Project Applicant, Seek Extension for EDH Apartments Hearing At Planning Commission

The El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee has asked for a continuance of the Planning Commission Hearing regarding the El Dorado Hills Apartments at Town Center East, to allow time to review the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), released to the public on Wednesday, December 6, 2017.

The Notice of Public Hearing issued by El Dorado County November 13, 2017 indicated that all relevant Staff Reports and documents would be available for public review 14 days before the scheduled December 14, 2017 hearing date. The EDH APAC believes that issuing the FEIR with only 8 days for public review, as well as neglecting the Notice of Public Hearing’s promise of documents being available 14 days prior to the hearing, wouldn’t allow adequate time for a thoughtful, thorough, review of the 210 page document, nor was it keeping in the spirit of El Dorado County’s commitment to transparency and good governance.

From APAC Chairman Tim White’s letter:

This request for rescheduling is not made with respect to the merits of the Project, but solely with respect to the scheduling of the Project for hearing on December 14, 2017. Specifically, the FEIR for this Project was not posted on the EDC Planning website until Wednesday, December 6, 2017, just 8 days before the scheduled hearing. As you know, during the review process on a project, most people only read and make comments on the DEIR during the 45 day time required by law- when a FEIR is available people typically review that document to see how their comments were addressed by the Planning Department.

In final, 8 days to review the 200+ pages of the FEIR for the Town Center Apartments Project is an inadequate period of time- it flies in the face of transparency, in full and timely disclosure, and in good governance.

There were also requests from El Dorado Hills residents seeking additional time to review the document.

The Project Applicant has asked the County to defer the hearing until January 11, 2018. From the applicant’s letter:

We understand that the County has received comments from the El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee (EDHAPAC) and at least one individual, which request postponement of the hearing to allow for additional time for public review of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) prepared for the project. Although we understand that there is no legal requirement to postpone the hearing as a result of these requests, we respectfully request that the hearing be continued and placed on the agenda for the Commission’s next meeting, on January 11.
We are making this request because of our commitment to ensuring the public and the County are fully informed of the project’s benefits and impacts (including environmental impacts), before any action is taken by the County on the project. Deferring the hearing until January 11 will effectively extend the public review period by approximately four weeks, thereby ensuring that EDHAPAC, local community members, and other interested persons are afforded ample opportunity to review the FEIR and all other project-related materials that have been posted to the County’s website.
We believe that this extended review period will facilitate active and informed participation by the public at the hearing, as well as informed decision making by the Planning Commission. This approach is consistent with our and the County’s efforts throughout this process to be proactive in soliciting and addressing community feedback.

This morning, on December 11, 2017, the County of El Dorado has placed the applicant’s request for continuance on the Planning Commissions’s legistar project file – the Planning Commission will address the request for continuance at the scheduled December 14, 2017 Planning Commission Hearing.

In advance of the Planning Commission’s finding, EDH APAC asks that area residents continue to submit their concerns, questions, and suggestions for the project for Planning Commission, and Board of Supervisors consideration.

EDC Board of Supervisors Establish New Meeting Protocols – Reduced Time For Public Comment

At the December 5, 2017 El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board established new rules and protocols for accepting public comments on issues and projects before the board.

Previously, the Board’s rules and Protocol for public comment were:

Each individual public comment was limited to 3 minutes per topic.
An individual representing a group was allowed 5 minutes per topic.

The new rules are as follows:

PROTOCOLS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

Public comment will be received at designated periods as called by the Board Chair.
Public comment on items scheduled for Closed Session will be received before the Board recesses to Closed Session.
Except with the consent of the Board, individuals shall be allowed to speak to an item only once.
On December 5, 2017 the Board adopted the following protocol relative to public comment periods:
Time for public input will be provided at every Board of Supervisors meeting. Individuals will have three minutes to address the Board.
Individuals authorized by organizations will have three minutes to present organizational positions and perspectives and may request additional time, up to five minutes.
At the discretion of the Board, time to speak by any individual may be extended.
A total of 20 minutes will be allocated for public comment during Open Forum and for each agenda item to be discussed.
Public comment on certain agenda items designated and approved by the Board may be treated differently with specific time limits per speaker or a limit on the total amount of time designated for public comment.
It is the intent of the Board that quasi-judicial matters have additional flexibility depending upon the nature of the issue.
Individual Board members may ask clarifying questions but will not engage in substantive dialogue with persons providing input to the Board.
If a person providing input to the Board creates a disruption by refusing to follow Board guidelines, the Chair of the Board may take the following actions;
Step 1. Request the person adhere to Board guidelines. If the person refuses, the Chair may ask the Clerk to turn off the speaker’s microphone.
Step 2. If the disruption continues, the Chair may order a recess of the Board meeting.
Step 3. If the disruption continues, the Chair may order the removal of the person from the Board meeting.

This protocol change was approved by a 5-0 vote of the Board.

These rules and protocols are in effect for the next El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting, to be held December 12, 2017.

Carson Creek Specific Plan Rezone Requested For New Age Restricted Community

El Dorado County received an application packet date stamped for November 15 2017 requesting a Rezone of part of the existing Carson Creek Specific Plan. The rezone requests seeks to remove a Research and Development Category, as well as an Industrial Category from the the 1994 Carson Creek Specific Plan (approved March 4, 1997). The original Carson Creek Specific Plan provided for 1700 age restricted residential units (ARUs). The project proposes two access points on Latrobe Road, one of which would be provided by a new road, and would provide access to a previously

From the application packet:

The Carson Creek Specific Plan (SP94-02) was approved on March 4, 1997 with a Development Agreement. The Specific Plan is encompassed within 71O acres of land generally located west of the El Dorado Hills Business Park and south of Golden Foothills Parkway. On September 27, 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendments to the Specific Plan that includes a maximum of 1,700 Age-Restricted Residential Units (ARUs) and a Development Agreement. Exhibit B (land Use Plan) included 34.4 acres of R&D and 59.7 acres of Industrial. The actual resultant acreages are currently 33.3± acres and 57 .0± acres respectively after Lennar Homes of Northern California, Inc. obtained a permit from the ACOE SPK-1992-00105 (the permit). The permit conditions nominally expanded the Open Space and reduced the R&D and Industrial acreage as shown. Subsequent project approvals included the Euer Ranch 460 ARU~_(TM96-1317 and TM04-1389), Carson Creek Unit 1 285 ARUs (TM04-1391R), Carson Creek Unit 2, 630 ARUs 111 (TM06-1428R), and Carson Creek Unit 3 140 AR Us (TM14-1519). The ARU sum total is 1,515 ARUs. The total number of potential remaining allowable ARUs under the current approvals is 185 ARUs notwithstanding the “Accompanying Consideration” enumerated below. None of the R&D or Industrial has been developed to date.
Pre-Application and Conceptual Review
Policy J-6 established criteria for initiation of a Specific Plan Amendment {SPA)
Project Description
Amend Land Use Plan
1. Delete {RD) Research and Development Category
2. Delete (I) Industrial Category
3. Add 3.1± acres additional (CC) Community Center
4. Add 1.7± acres (LC} Local Convenience Commercial
5. Add 84. 1 ± acres New Residential Village 11
6. An increase the Open Space (OS) from 12.6± acres to 13.5 acres±
7. No change to the 30 Acre Park
Total SPA Area= 132.4± acres
The proposed project would be an Age-Restricted Community and would have two accesses on to Latrobe Road; full time access on to Investment Boulevard and secondary access through the DST property on a new roadway that will intersect with the Latrobe Road. The new roadway will provide access to the 30 acre park site in addition to the proposed age-restricted community. The project would include 415 Age-Restricted Units (AR Us), a 3.1 ± acre Community Center, and 1.7± acres of Local Convenience Commercial. It would be served by the El Dorado Irrigation District. Onsite roads are gated and privately maintained not withstanding a short extension of Investment Blvd; this is to be publicly maintained. The 30 acre Regional Park and related policy remains unchanged notwithstanding conditions of the ACOE SPK-1992-00105 (the permit}. Based on the Carson Creek development pattern and high demand that has occurred over the past 14 years coupled with a demonstrated lack of demand for RD and I uses a Specific Plan amendment request is warranted.

Further, the project applicants are seeking a 20% “Density Bonus” which would allow for up to an additional 340 units, for a total of 2040 ARUs. Also from the application packet:

The project will be constructed as an age-restricted community meeting the definition of a “senior citizen housing developmenr under California Civil Code Sections 51.3 and 51.2. Therefore, Applicant is entitled to a twenty percent density bonus pursuant to the state Density Bonus Law (California
Government Code Section 65915) and the El Dorado County Code (Section 130.31.010 et seq). Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915(f)(5), the granting of such a density bonus “shall not require, or be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment.. … zoning change, or other discretionary approval.” Therefore Applicant is entitled to the following:
1,700 (units assigned under the Specific Plan) X 1.20 (amount of bonus) = 2,040 Available Units after the Density Bonus
Specific Plan= 1,700 units
20% Density Bonus = 340 units
1,700 units+ 340 bonus units= 2,040 units
