SUBJECT: TRACT 3963/PD-1041 GRIFFIN HOMES — MINOR NIDDIFICIATON NO. 8
IM ��.. •1
Planned Development Permit No. 1041 and Tract 3963 were approved for a
total of 484 units to be completed in four phases. Condition No. 63 of
Tract 3963 (see attachment) required certain levels of traffic service be
maintained on Los Angeles Avenue or no Zone Clearance would be granted past
the 281st unit. On December 11, 1989 Griffin Hordes filed a request for
Zoning Clearance for 44 homes in Phase IV and the remaining 3 homes in
Phase I.
Discussion
The City Engineer's office had identified that the current Level of Service
for Los Angeles Avenue between Princeton Avenue and High Street is below a
"C" level of service at this time. This has caused Condition No. 63 to be
invoked.
The total number of units by phase with the number occupied and remaining
is listed below.

At this time, a total of 348 Zone Clearances have been issued. This is 69
over what should have been approved inasmuch as the level of traffic
service is higher than that allowed under Condition No. 63. The error in
issuance of Zone Clearance was caused by a lack of information at the time
of condition compliance review from the City Engineer's office.
In order that the traffic level identified under Condition No. 63 be
mitigated, Griffin Hanes has agreed to pay the City an amount of $3,000 per
dwelling unit. This traffic mitigation amount will be paid for 129
remaining "market priced" units and not for the 5 "affordable" set aside
units. This Minor Modificiaton will amend Condition No. 63 of Tract 3963
to allow the issuance of Zone Clearance by providing a payment to the
City's Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fund. The Director of Ccem[mulity
Development has reviewed the proposed modifications and intends to approve
it. Pursuant to Resolution No. 88-523 the Director has the authority to
approve Minor Modifications. This matter is being presented to the council
as a courtesy. In the event the Council wishes to appeal the Director's
decision, it may do so. Should the Council decide to appeal, it should set
the matter for a public hearing. If the Council takes no action, the
Director's decision stands.

e. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the first
unit of the project, the developer shall deposit $200,000.00 with
the City to be placed in a separate fund for the purpose of study-
ing and improving an alternate route to existing Los Angeles
Avenue. The use of these funds shall include, but not be limited
to, alignment studies, environmental review, slope analyses, area
of benefit/ contribution determinations, traffic projections,
design and engineering including the Arroyo Simi bridge(s), financ-
ing and right-of-way alternatives. Any of the $200,000.00 paid by
the developer but not used for studying or improving an alternate
route to existing Los Angeles Avenue shall be returned to the
developer upon four -fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council not to
continue with the study or improvement of said alternate route.
62. That prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first unit
of the project, and following the installation of the signal at the
Princeton Avenue_/Los_ Angeles Avenue. (Highway 118) intersection, the
developer shall make a directional traffic count on Los Angeles Avenue
illighway 118) between Princeton Avenue and College View Avenue, for the
morning and afternoon peak hours. Following the issuance of a cp.rti£i-
cate of occupancy for the 70th, but prior to the 100th, dwelling unit, a
second traffic count shall be made. Following the issuance of a certi-
ficate of occupancy for the 1-74th, but prior to the 281st, dwelling
unit, a third traffic count shall be made. The purpose of these traffic
counts shall be to assist the City in determining the need for a second
eastbound lane on Los Angeles Avenue between Princeton Avenue and
College View Drive.
63. That prior to the issuance of a zone clearance for the 281st unit of the
project, either the City shall have added the fourth (westbound) lane on
Los Angeles Avenue between Princeton Avenue and High Street, "or the
Highway 23/118 connection shall be made, but not both. However, prior
to the issuance of a zone clearance for the 100th and the 281st unit,
the developer shall make a directional traffic count at the above loca-
tion on Los Angeles Avenue, for the morning and afternoon peak hours, to
verify the actual traffic volumes. The purpose of the directional count
taken prior to the issuance of the 100th zone clearance is to inform the
developer of the potential future need for either installation of the
fourth (westbound) lane or the Highway 23/118 connection. If the
directional volumes obtained from the count taken prior to the issuance
of the 281st zone clearance do not equal or exceed 1130 vehicles per
hour per lane,'or 2260 vehicles per hour per direction on the two lane
portions, the developer may construct and occupy additional units
consistent with Level of Service "C" operation on Los Angeles Avenue
between Princeton Avenue and High Street (capacity is considered to be
1880 vehicles per hour per lane, and Level of Service "C" is 60 percent
of capacity). If the directional volumes -obtained from the count taken
prior to issuance of the zone clearance for the 281st unit equal or
exceed the above vehicles per hour (Level of Service "D" or less), then
no additional units within the project will be permitted to be con-
structed until the fourth (westbound) lane on Los Angeles Avenue between
Princeton Avenue and High Street or the Highway 23/118 connection is
constructed.
