APPENDIX A SOUTHEAST GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT MITIGATION
MEASURES
APPENDIX B. MITIGATION MONITORING CHECKLIST
SECTION 1 . INTRODUCTION
A. Introduction
The intent of this "Mitigation Monitoring Report* is to
comply with the City of Redlands implementation of AB 3184..
This law became effective on January 1, 1983, and has added
a major step to the GEQA process.- In brief, it requires all
state and local agencies to establish reporting or
monitoring programs for projects approved by a public agency
whenever approval involves the adoption of either a
"mitigated negative declaration" or specified environmental
findings related to "environmental impact reports. "
As drafted, AB 3184 simply calls for a reporting or
monitoring program "designed to ensure compliance during
project; implementation. " Thus, public agencies are given
broad latitude in developing programs to meet the variety of
projects and circumstances affecting their Jurisdictions .
The City of Redlands has required the project proponent for
Specific plan No . 43 to design and prepare a Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the Specific plan. Thus, the
following report has been prepared to comply with ;AB 3184 as
implemented by the City of Redlands .
Page 1
Mitigation Monitoring System
The City of Redlands leaves the task of designing a
reporting or monitoring program to individual project
sponsors or proponent. Naturally, a program's complexity
will vary depending upon the project being approved and the
environmental effects being mitigated'. In order to
comprehensively handle all the mitigation measures
recommended for Specific Plan No. 43, a specially tailored
program has been developed for each mitigation measure .
This monitoring program distinguishes between various types'
of mitigation measures. 'These types include :
1. Mitigation measures that must be satisfied through
project design, (PD)
Z. Mitigation measures that must be satisfied prior to
Tentative Tract and/or Conditional Use Permit
approval.. ( TT/CUP)
3 . Measures that must be satisfied during the
improvement plan check process. ( IPC)
4. Mitigation measures that must be satisfied during
the house plan check process. (HPC)
5 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied during
the grading plan check process. (GPC)
6 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied prier to
permit issuance. (PT )'
7 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied during
protect construction. (CONSTR)
8 Mitigation measures that must be satisfied after
protect development or post-occupancy,. (PO)';
In addition to identifying when a particular mitigation
measure is to occur, it is also important to recognize who
is responsible for carrying out the mitigation measure .. In
some cases a Mitigation measure will shot up on subsequent
improvement drawings, some mitigation measures will be
complied with during construction activities, and some
mitigation measures will be conducted by the City after
occupancy of dwelling units. Therefore, the following
system has been developed to identify those responsible for
carrying out the individual mitigation measures.
page 2'
1 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied by
individual consultants, including engineers,
planners, architects, soils consultants, etc. ( 1 )
2 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied by
developers during construction. ( 2)
S . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied by
individual home builders/home owners. ( 3)
4 . Mitigation measures that must be satisfied by
various City departments, including the following:
a. Community Development Department ( 4-CD)
b. Building and Safety Department (4-BS)
C. Engineering Services ( 4-ES)
d. Municipal Utilities (4-MU)
e . Community Services Department ( 4-CS)
f. Fire Department ( 4-FD)
g. Police Department (4-PD)
Each of the above types of mitigation monitoring has
been applied to the adopted mitigation measures for Specific
Plan No. 43, and contained in SECTION II , of this Mitigation
Monitoring Program. Also, a complete copy of the Southeast
General Plan Amendment Environmental Impact Report
Mitigation Measures is contained in Appendix A. Each of
these mitigation measures has also been codified with the
above system. Where the mitigation measures are repeated in
the Sunset Hills mitigation measure, it is so indicated.
Finally, where mitigation measures contained in the Plan
Amendment are not applicable to the Sunset Hills Specific
Plan, it has been indicated by (N/A) .
A checklist has been developed to be utilized for
further processing during the various phases of project
design, approval and construction. The standard checklist is
contained in Appendix B. The checklist will be utilized for
record keeping and for systematically observing mitigation
activities . The checklist will not only be utilized by the
project proponent during the various phases of plan
processing, permitting and construction, but also by future
home builders and home owners as a way to show compliance
for those mitigation measures tailored to home occupancy and
long-term maintenance. As a result, this checklist will be
provided for the City of Redlands Building and Safety
Department to be handed out as part of the future home
building plan check process within the Specific Plan
boundaries .

SECTION II . MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
A. Soils
The following recommendations and mitigation measures have
been identified:
1 . Future soils investigations should be
performed to develop specific soil and
foundation recommendations for each phase.
Future investigations may utilize test borings
and/or test trenches for field exploration,
depending on details of the proposed
structures and extent of site grading. In the
course of future investigations, additional
borings should be placed within the alluvial
drainages to determine the extent of the
settlement potential of these soils. (IPC) t1
2. All areas to be graded should be stripped of
significant vegetation and other deleterious
materials. These materials should be removed
from the site for disposal. Existing
irrigation lines should be traced, removed and
capped at the property lines. Irrigation-
lines
rrigationlines may be spread throughout the fill after
being crushed, as approved by the soils
engineer . (CONSTR) ( 2)
3. All existing uncontrolled fills should be
completely removed, cleaned of significant
deleterious materials and may be reused as
compacted fill . (CONSTRI(2)
4. Cavities created by removal of subsurface
obstructions, such as structures, individual
effluent disposal systems, and trees, and by
the exploratory trenches, should be thoroughly
cleaned of loose soil, organic materials and
other deleterious materials, shaped to provide
access for construction equipment, and
backfilled as recommended for site fill .
(CONSTR) ( 2)
page 4
5. Prior to placing fill, the surfaces of all
areas to receive fill should be scarified to a
depth of at least 12 inches. The scarified
soils should be brought to near optimum
moisture content and recompacted to a relative
compaction of at least 90 percent (ASTM D 1557-
70 ) . (CON STR) (2)
6 . Unless approved by the soils engineer, rock or
similar irreducible material with a maximum
dimension greater than eight inches should not
be buried or placed in fills. Import fill
should be inorganic, granular soils free from
rocks or lumps greater than eight inches in
maximum dimension. Sources for import fill
should be approved by the soils engineer prior
to their use , Fill should be spread in eight
inch or less lifts, each lift brought to near
optimum moisture contnet, and compacted to a
relative compaction of at least 90 percent
(ASTM D 1557-70 ) . (CONSTR) (2)
7. Fill slopes should be constructed no steeper
than two horizontal to one vertical . Fill
slopes should be overfilled during
construction and then cut back to expose fully
compacted soil . A suitable alternative would
be to compact the slopes during construction
and then roll the final slopes to provide
dense, erosion-resistant surfaces . Where
fills are to be placed against existing slopes
steeper than five horizontal to one vertical,
the existing slopes should be benched into
competent native materials to provide a series
of level benches to seat the fill and to
remove the compressive and permeable topsoils .
(CONSTR) ( 2)
8. All graded slopes shall be revegetated as soon
as possible after development. A revegetation
plan shall be submitted with all proposed
grading plans that affect areas over ten
percent slopes and this plan shall include
native species in the design to the degree
feasible ( for example, consistent with fire
safety) , schedules for revegetation,
accountability for long term maintenance of
landscaped areas, and performance bonds to
ensure that revegetation can be undertaken.
(CONSTR) ( 1&2)
page 5
47
The use of succulent ground covers such as
i+ eplants or sedum is not recommended.
Irrigation systems should be monitored to
assure proper operation of the water system
and to prevent overwatering. Measures should-
be provided to prevent surface nater from
flowing over slope faces= (CON TR) (2)'
9. Additional., evaluation of soils for expansion
potential should be conducted during future
investigation and/car the grading operation.
( pC) (l)
10 Utilizing a compacted fill mat or direct
embedment of footings into dense undisturbed
soils,- the proposed residential and equestrian
center structures may be safely founded on
conventional spread foundations, either
individual spread footings and/or continuous
wall footings,. Footings should; be a minimum
of 12 inches wide, and should be established
at a minimum depth of 12 inches below adjacent
final grade level.. Allowable bearing
pressures :and lateral pressures should be
determined based on the results of
supplemental geotechnical investigation data.
Footings should be set back from all natural
steep slopes in accordance with
recommendations contained in the Preliminary
Engineering Geology Investigation report
prepared for the site. Footings should be se
back from all constructed slopes in accordance
with the recommendations shown on Enclosure
"K" of the soils report-. (HP'C) (2&3)
B. Geology
The following geologic mitigation measures shall apply:
1 A Richter magnitude 7. 0 earthquake is expected
along the San Jacinto fault, which is located
approximately l 3/4 miles southwest of the
site-, therefore, human occupancy structures
shall be designed accordingly. (HPC) it
2 Positive drainage of the site shall be
provided and water shall not be allowed to
pond behind or flows over any cut or fill.
slopes. (CONSTR) t 2&31
page 6
Cj
3. All proposed, significant cut slopes shall be
evaluated for stability prior to grading, and
subsurface data shall be obtained if a
potential stability problem exists as
determined by the engineering geologist. For
general planning purposes, the maximum
inclination of all cut slopes should be 2: 1
(horizontal to vertical ) up to a maximum
height of 30 feet. (pi ) (1)
4 . If development is proposed on or in the
immediate vicinity of suspected landslides,
the landslides shall be evaluated in greater
detail by the engineering geologist prior to
grading. If mass grading is proposed in the
immediate vicinity of landslides, the grading
plans shall be reviewed to ensure that the
landslides will be removed or buttressed by
fill . (PIM)
S. A minimum setback for human occupancy
structures from the top of natural steep
slopes shall be a horizontal distance of at
least 15 feet or the horizontal distance
calculated by extending a 21 (horizontal to
vertical ) plane, extending upward from the toe
of the steep slope, whichever is greater. For
planning purposes, structures to be placed at
the base of steep slopes shall be set back
from the toe of the slopes at least a
horizontal distance equal to 1/2 the slope
height or a maximum distance of 15 feet. Each
slope and setback shall be individually
evaluated during review of the grading plan.
(IPC) (HPC) (1&4-BS)
6 . Human occupancy structures placed at the base
of slopes shall not be placed below colluvial
filled slope swales unless the swales are
cleaned of unstable materials and/or debris
retention or deflection measures are
implemented. (CONS TR) ( 2)
7. All cut slopes greater than 15 feet in height
shall be provided with a concrete-lined "V"
ditch above the top of the cut slope to
protect the slope from erosion. All cut
slopes 30 feet or greater in height shall have
terraces in accordance with the Uniform
Building Code. (CONSTRMPC) ( l&4-BS)
page 7
8 . If individual sewage disposal systems are
used, seepage pits shall be utilized in the
areas of moderate to high topographic relief.
The location and depth of seepage pits in
areas of potential slope instability shall be
evaluated by the engineering geologist. (PIM)
9. The final grading plan for the site shall be
reviewed and approved by an engineering
geologist prior to any grading. (IPC, HPC) ( 1&4-BS)
10. Grading of the site shall be evaluated by the
engineering geologist by in-grading
inspections to be sure that no hazards, not
visible on the surface, are uncovered that
could endanger the proposed development of the
site. (CONSTR) ( 1)
C. Hydrology
The following hydrology mitigation measures shall be
implemented in the design and construction of drainage
improvements within the project site:
1. The text of the Plan Amendment strongly recommends
that a Specific Plan be prepared for each Planning
Sector. Thus, either as part of a Specific Plan or
as each Sector is developed, a comprehensive storm
runoff management plan shall be prepared. Such
management plans shall adhere to the text of the
Plan Amendment to the degree feasible. Natural
drainage channels shall be incorporated into
Perimeter Fuel Modification/Access Area designs.
These channels shall be designed to incorporate
sufficient area to convey post development flows
with no hazards to structures or persons. They
shall also include appropriate native and non-
native, drought resistant vegetation, consistent
with fire protection requirements. This will make
use of the inherent ability of natural drainage
courses to filter sediments and take up nutrients.
The City of Redlands shall review and approve such
plans prior to permitting development within a
Planning Sector. (PD)( 1)
page 8
2. Detention/retention and/or desilting basins shall
be incorporated in the design of the water courses
created to handle storm runoff by the management
plans . Such basins shall be designed to detain
peak flows in excess of natural peak flows for an
Intermediate Regional Flood. Maintenance costs for
these facilities shall be provided through a
Landscape Maintenance District . ( IPC) ( 1&2)
D. Biology Resources
The EIR recommended the adoption of the following
biological resource mitigation measures which shall apply to
the Sunset Hills Specific Plan. These measures shall be
addressed for the entire project site during the first
phase subdivision and or Conditional Use Permit.
1 . The significant role of the perimeter fuel
modification one including the natural
drainage channel, shall be recognized by the
inclusion of a landscaping plan either in
future specific plans prepared for each
Planning Sector or prior to future subdivision
development within the alluvial canyons. This
landscape plan shall include enhancement by
use of native riparian species that will
benefit the biological environment. Edge
treatment of all residential "nodes" or areas
is important, and the use of native, drought-
resistant plants for landscaping is
recommended . (TT/CUP) ( 1)
2. Future landscaping plans shall include an
element for capture and restocking the
drainage courses with horned lizards. This
shall be done under the supervision of a
biologist and in cooperation with the State
Department of Fish and Game . (TT/CUP) ( 1)
3. The City shall require future developers to
consult with the Department of Fish and Game
(DFG) with the goal of implementing measures
to retain the small deer herd in the project
area . If concurred in by DFG, a herd
management plan shall be funded and
implemented by future developers . (TT/CUP) ( 1)
4 . Future developers shall work with Department
of Fish and Game, the California Division of
Forestry, and the City Fire Department to
page 9
prepare a fire management plan for the open
space created by Specific Plans. This plan
shall detail the areas where fuel modification
is necessary, where fire-resistant vegetation
should be planted, emergency access for fire-
fighting equipment, and a program of
prescribed burns . Fire suppression in the
wildlands is undesirable in the long term due
to the increased chances for an uncontrolled
wildland fire that can have catastrophic
results. ( IPC) ( 2&4-FD)
E. Climate and Air Qqality
The following air quality mitigation measures were adopted:
1 . The developer and the City shall explore the
feasibility of providing park and ride lots and
encouraging car pooling of residents within the
project area . (PO) (4-ES)
2. The City shall consult with Omnitrans
regarding the possibility of extending a
transit route to the project boundaries. If
this can be accomplished, each specific plan
shall be required to provide a transit stop
with facility improvements such as shelters,
benches and a bus pocket for easy ingress and
egress. (PO) (4-ES)
3. The following mitigation measures are
abstracted from the District Handbook and
relate to short-term construction emissions:
a. Fugitive dust shall be controlled by
regular water spraying during construction
activity, and grading shall cease at high wind
conditions ( 20 mph) . 4
b. Contracts with construction companies
shall require that all equipment engines
be maintained in proper tune to minimize

sight distance . This shall occur in conjunction
with the Phase I improvements. (CONSTR) ( 2)
2. The intersection of Alessandro Road/Crescent Avenue
shall be restriped for northbound approaches to
allow a left and right turn lane . In addition,
vegetation in the southeast quadrant should be
trimmed to improve sight distance . This shall
occur in conjunction with Phase I improvements,
(CONS TR) (2)
3. Realignment and recontouring of Alessandro Road
from Sunset Drive to San Timoteo Creek shall be
required in conjunction with improvement plans for
individual phases of development within the Sunset
Hills Specific Plan. In addition, Alessandro Road
shall be provided with left turn bays for traffic
entering the project site . (IPC) ( 2)
4 . The City shall continue to coordinate with San
Bernardino and Riverside Counties if cumulative
traffic increases on San Timoteo Canyon Road
require the upgrading of the roadway into a multi-
lane facility. (Ptd) (4E: )
5 . The bridge along Alessandro Road at the San Timoteo
Creek shall be widened and/or relocated to allow
improved traffic flow. Consideration shall be
given to establishing an assessment district or
reimbursement program for this improvement at the
first phase of development, (TPC) (2)
page 11
G. Cultural Resources

conducive percolation rates for effluent disposal
systems . These> rates generally ranged from 3. 2
gallons/sq. ft. /day to 8. 3 gallons/sq. ft. /day.
Application rates within these soils would range
from 20 to 35 square feet of seepage area per 100
gallons septic tank capacity. (HPC) ( 3)

the poorest percolation rates at the site.
Generally, percolation rates within these limited
soil units were on the order of 0 . 67
gallons/sq. ft. /day to 1 . 48 gallons/sq. ft. /day.
Application rates within these soils would be
on the order of 70 to 90 square feet of seepage
area per 100 gallons of septic tank capacity.
(It is possible that these soils would exhibit
even poorer percolation characteristics than
encountered, and may not meet requirements of
San Bernardino County Department of Environmental
Health. More site specific percolation testing is
recommended for these areas if development is
proposed within these soil units. (HP C) (3)

V. SUMMARY OF NMGATION MEASURES
Should the proposed Plan Amendment be approved, this document recommends
that the following soils mitigatioa measures be implemented:
1. All future development proposals shall submit detailed soil
investigations as part of their applications. (A_, )
2. Special attention in these reports shall be given to slope
stabilization and erosion control when slopes exceed ten percent
(10%). (Tr/cup)0 )
3. Mass grading shall not be allowed within the project area without a
determination by the City Council that such grading is consistent
with intent of the text of this Plan Amendment. (TT/tel(2)
4. All graded slopes shall be revegetated as soon as possible after
development. A revegetation plan shall be submitted with all
pro osed grading plans that affect areas tea percent and this plan
shall include native species in the design to the degree feasible (for
example, consistent with fire safety), schedules for revegetation,
accountability for long to maintenance of landscaped areas, and
performance bonds to ensure that revegetation can be undertaken. (A-8)
Should the proposed Plan Amendment be implemented by the City, !his
document recommends the adoption of the following geology mitigation
measures:
5. All future developments within the project area shall Provide a
thorough geologic study. The measures identified within such study
for ensuring protection from geologic constraints shall be
implemented by the project applicant. (COWLmm wTTH smmc PLM)
6. All future developments within the project area shall provide grading
plans in accordance with City requirements. The measures identified
in such report for mitigating grading impacts shall be implemented,
including revegetation plans. (TT/CW)(1)
7. Due to the high seismic shaking potential in the project area, all
structures shall be designed to meet the seismic requirements for the
appropriate building code adopted by the City. (HPC)(394-BS)

placed within geologic hazard zones without the review and approval
of an engineering geologist/soils engineer. Specific mitigation
measures shall be specified where such facilities must be placed in
geologic hazard areas to maximize their continued functioning, and
these measures shall be implemented. N/A-No hazard zones exist on-site
Based on the analysis provided in the detailed analysis section, this document
recommends the adoption of the following hydrology (water resource)
mitigation measures if the project is approved:
11. The text of the proposed Amendment strongly recommends that a
Specific Plan be pre tired for each Planning Sector. Thus, either
as part of a SpecTc Plan or as each gector is developed, a
comprehensive storm runoff management plan shall be prepared.
Such management plans shall adhere to the text of the proposed
Amendment to the degree feasible. Natural drama channels shall
be incorporated into Perimeter Fuel Modification/Access Area
designs. These channels shall be designed to incorporate sufficient
area to convey post development flood flows with no hazards to
structures or persons. Tley shall also include appropriate native
and non-native, drought resistant vegetation, consistent with fire
protection requirements. This will make use of the inherent ability
of natural drabia'�e courses to filter sediments and take uo
nutrients. The City of Redlands shall review and approve such
plans prior to permitting development within a Planning Sector. (C_I
(Ccrpleted as part of Specific Plan)
12. Storm runoff from the commercial designated land shall be
convegd directly into the San Timoteo Creek channel, consistent
wigunry flood control management requirements. N/A-The ccauxercial
sib S not within proj'ect bDumlaries.
13 Detesition)ietention basins shall be incorporated in the design of
the water courses created to handle storm runoff by the
management plans. Such basins shall be desined to detain pear
flows in excess natural peak flows for an Intermediate Regional
Flood (C-2)
14. The City should consider requiring a developmentfee to fund
critical downstream flood control facilities on San Timoteo Creek. (4-ES)
15. The City should consider establishing the following maximum
impervious surface coverage on each lot: N/A- The City adopted alternate
LandE!2Dg Star"_arc_e1= Maximum Coverage
0-15,70 1 acre = 43,560 sq. ft. 10% = 4,356 sq. ft.

Over 307o 15 acres = 653,400 sq. ft. 117,o = 6,534 sq. ft.
16. The City should adopt and future development implement the Best
Management Practices provided in Appendix 5. (CoUsTUC)(2)
1
25
17. Because of the erosion sensitivity of all steep slopes, the City
should adopt an additional policy prohibiting� any offroad vehicle
activity in the project area, s should be backed-up b an
ordinance if necessary and rigorously enforced by the City701ice
I epanment for bath erosion and Erre hazard mitigation. (4-PD)
18. Should the water supply for future development within the project
area be obtained from the San Timoteo Basin aquifeir, the City
should seek to acquire ' ported water to mitigated the potential
overdraft. (4--
1 . If subsurface wastewater disposal is permitted, all systems shall be
justified by a detailed soil study that s edifically addresses the
suitability`for construction of such a system (Tr tom) MPO 0 )
220. Alternatively, the City should explore the option of extending the
sewer line to the project area, or connecting with the Yucaipa
Valley dater Distract system. If economically feasible, sewer
connections should be extended to development within the project
area. (4-MU)
1. For all private or public underground storage tanks the construction
and operation requirements outlined in Appendix 6 shall be
implemented. N/A-No N/A-Nostorage tanks are proposed.
22. For any improvements in areas with riparian habitat (the only area:
with such habitat identified is along Sari Timoteo Creek) the agency
or applicant implementing the improvements shall contact the State
Dep ent of Fish and Game and the Army Corps of Engineers
regarding Section 1603 and Section 404 permits. ( )(2)
The blob 'sts concluded that the measures already incorporated within the
groposed Ian Amendment will accomplish substantial rnrtr abort. However,
based on the evaluation provided in the detailed anasis section, this
document also recommends the adoption of the following biological resource
mitigation measures.
23. e significant role of the perimeter fuel modification zone,
including the natural drainage cannel, shall be recognized by the
inclusion: of a landscaping plan either in future specificplans
prepared for each Planning Sector or prior to future subdivision
development within the alluvial canyons. This landscape plan shall
include enhancement by use of native riparian species that will
benefit the biological environment. Edge treatment, of all residential
"nodes' or areas is important, and the use of native,
drought-resisters plants for landscaping is recommended. (D-1 )
2 . Future landscaping plans shall include an element for capture and
restocking the drainage, courses with horned lizards. This shall be ;
done under the supervision of a biologist and in cooperation with
the Mate Department of Fish and Game, (D-2)
2
25. The City shall require future developers to consult with the
Department of Fish and Game (DFG) with the goal of implementing
measures to retain the small deer herd in the project area. If
concurred in by DFG, a herd management plan shall be funded and
implemented by future developers. (D-3)
26. Future developers shall work with Department of Fish and Game, the
California Division of Forestry, and the City Fire Department to,
prepare a fire management plan for the open space created by this
Irl an Amendment. This plan shall detail the areas where W fuel
modification is necessary, where fire-resistant vegetation should be
planted, emergency access for firefighting equipment, and a prop-ram
of prescribed burns. Fire suppression in the wildlands is undesirable
in the long term due to the increased chances for an uncontrolled
wildland fire that can have catastrophic results. (D-4)
27, The City shall determine how the open space will be managed and
controlled. Several alternatives for ownership are possible.
Formation of an open space district which receives funding through
the property tax Ease is the best and most successful method.
Acquisition through dedications, density transfers, and developer fees
is also possible. The future integrity of the open space will depend
on this ownership since effective management depends upon the
expertise of fire managers, revegetation specialists, recreation
planners, wildlife biologists, and land use planners. (pD)(1 )
Based on the analysis provided in the detailed analysis, this document
recommends the adoption of the following air quality mitigation measures:
28. The City shall explore the feasibility of providing park and ride lozs
and encouraging car pooling of residents within the project area, (E-1)
29. The City shall consult with Ornnitrans regarding the possibility of
extending a transit route to future project boundaries. If this can
be accomplished, each specific plan shall be - requited
ed to provide a
transit stop with facility improvements such as shelters, benches and
a bus pocket fore ingress and egress. (E-2)
30, Any future service stations or fuel storage tanks within the project
area shall incorporate the best available control technology for
potential hazardous emissions at the time of construction. Riirofirs
shall be accomplished in accordance with future SCAQNM
requirements. N/A-No storage tanks proposed.
31. e follo mitigation measures are abstracted from the District
Th
Handbook an relate to short-term construction emissions-
a. Fugitive dust shall be controlled by regular water sprayin,-,
during construction activity.
27
19
b. Contracts with construction companies shall require that all
equipment engines be maintained in proper tune to minimize
emissions, including timing retard.
C. The contract with the construction company shall require that
construction be discontinued during first-and second-stage srAnog
alerts as forecasted by the District. { -3)
Based on the analysis in the detailed analysis section and the traffic study
in Appendix 11, this document recommends that the folloaffic
WIngtr
mitigation measures be considered for implementation over the life of the
proposed Plan Amendment:
The City shall implement measures, such as signs and other traffic
control measures, to ensure that the following street intersections ,
with Sunset are not promoted as alternative travel routes: Kincaid
Street, Ridge Street, ROS5mont Drive, Puesta del Sol, and Palo Alto
Drive. (4-ES)
33 Traffic from future development that is permitted to access Sunset
Drive shall be on a street that will feed right nzw to Sunset Drive
in the a- m. peak hour; some left turn prohibitions (off of Sunset
toward downtown) may be necessary to keep traffic directionally
constrained. N/A-No streets from development feed sunset.
34. Additional access to Sunset Drive would be best if it were c,cse to
Alta Vista to encourage exiting Sunset on those streets rather than
into the City on residential streets which are too narrow for safe
and efficient 6peratiOrL N/A-No access in the above described area.
Access intersections shall be widened to increase sight distance to
at least 35 miles per hour or a minimum of 246 feet in each
direction. This mayrequire extensive roadway curve radius
affi
improvements for safe trc operation. N/A same as above.
X With the current p. m. directional trafflc split- on Sunset Drive this
road should not be allowed to operate below LOS "C" in the peak
periods. N/A- same as above
y mitigati horizontally to a
37. The roadway ma not be capable of full ' ' ion
sight distance of 240 feet. In such cases 7 lateral sight distance
would require clearance from the edge of a 12-foot traffic lane to 4
feet and a clear zone on the inside of the curves of up to 25 feet. N/A
38. If additional traffic is allowed on Sunset, require the foilowing
improvements between Alessandro and EdgemOnt: N/A
a- An S-curve approaching Kincaid
b. An S-curve west of Ridge
c. Sharp S-curve at Ridge
d. S-curve east of Ridge
e. Approaches to Fairmont improved and cleared
S 9. ImErovements recommended for the Edgemont to Alta Vista section
of unset Drive include:
a. Widen the road from west of Helen to Vinton
b. Improve curves from Vinton to Elder
c. Improve curves from Elder to Edgemont N/A
40. Based on the forecasted increased traffic at the Alessand-ro/Suriset,
intersection, a traffic signal and sight distance improvements shall
be implemented. (F-1 )
41. If the Sunset Drive/Alta Vista Drive intersection incurs a peak hour
increase of 200 vehicles, the intersection will require traffile control
of some type to prevent LOS from being reduced to "E N/A
42. Along Alessandro Road the increase in traffic is projected to requille
traffic signals at both ends of the road, 4iderung and perhaps
relocation of the bridge, and widening of the road.- (F-3)
43. The City shall coordinate with San Bernardino and Riverside
Counties if cumulative traffic increases on Eve Oak and san Tirnoteo
Canyon Roads require construction of the road, at this ultimate
precise plan of design. (F-4)
44. Signalization of the Eve Oak Canyon/San Tirnoteo Canyon Road
intersection shall be implemented during the life of the project. N/A
City to rrcnitor.
Based on the analysis in the detailed analysis section, this documnent,

accordance with the recently adopted Yucaipa Transportation Fee
Ordinance shall be; provided byfd e specific developments in the
General Flan Amendment area, { ( )
?. If future evaluations indicate the need for secondary treatment of
wastewater generated within the project area, the City shall: consider
extending a sewer trunk lase from its existing treatment lant to the
project area as a me2u-u of providing this level o treatment.
Alternatively, the City may consider other conventional or unconventional
engineering, solutions to both the collection and treatment of sewage
e erated within the project area. Such alternatives must be accompanied
v engin�eenng studies for the Cit' staff to judge their adequacy and
shall be reviewed and approved by the City prior to being implemented. t -
3. The limited traffic study prepared for the Southeast General Plan
Amendment; provided sufficient information for evaluating traffic impacts
along Sunset Drive, However, MT'or concerns have been expressed b
local residents about ,potential traffic through residential streets, such as
ossrnotn or Palo Alto, that provide access to downtown Redlands.. To
identify traffic management alternatives for this area, the City should:
conduct a comprehensive computer traffic model analysis of Sunset Drive
and its feeder streets prior to approval of major subdivisions taking
access from. Sunset Drive. his study should include a cumulative impact
evaluation of all existing unbuilt lots that have or are expected to have
access onto Sunset Drive, t4-
In addition, all of the traffic mitigation measures shall be found consistent
