Page 2 of 4 BACKGROUND On May 2, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 17-930, -931, -932, -933, and -934 certifying a Negative Declaration under CEQA, amending the General Plan land use designation, approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8259 subject to Conditions of Approval, approving an Affordable Housing Agreement, and approving a Growth Management Agreement. On May 16, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2162, a Planned Unit Development (PUD-113) by Ponderosa Homes II, Inc., to construct subdivision improvements associated with Tract 8259. On June 6, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2163 authorizing a Development Agreement between the City and Ponderosa Homes II, Inc. (Document No. 2018-007097) that memorialized the earlier City Council resolutions, mandated funding for a public restroom within Valley Trails Park, extended the duration of the City approval, and memorialized fees to be imposed on the development. On April 17, 2018, the City Council approved the final map, improvement plans, and a Subdivision Agreement for Tract 8259 (Book 353 of Maps at Pages 59-64) with Ponderosa Homes II, Inc. The agreement was executed on the same day. On December 19, 2018, the subdivider recorded a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Sycamore that created a homeowner’s association (Document No. 2018- 239647). On June 22, 2020, Ponderosa Homes II, Inc., entered into a Stormwater Treatment Measures Inspection and Maintenance Agreement (Document No. 2021-321070) that memorialized the subdivider’s obligations with respect to stormwater management. On August 4, 2020, the City Council authorized a First Amendment to Subdivision Improvement Agreement that reimbursed the subdivider for additional costs associated with a water main replacement on Valley Trails Drive. The reimbursement allowed street resurfacing and sidewalk/curb ramp upgrades on Valley Trails Drive within the vicinity of the water main replacement. The additional cost of $293,595 was allocated from the Streets CIP General Fund account. On July 1, 2021, a Second Amendment to the Subdivision Improvement Agreement was executed that extended the duration of the original agreement by four additional years. On January 24, 2023, a Third Amendment to Subdivision Improvement Agreement was executed that extended the duration of Section 10 “Defects” of the original agreement due to discovered failures in the roadway including cracks and subsidence. The Third Amendment also required the subdivider to reimburse the City for costs associated with evaluating the roadway cracks and subsidence. As a result of this discovery, the subdivider voluntarily repaved the public roads within the subdivision at no cost to the City. Although the Third Amendment required the Defects provision to be extended from one year to three years, staff is now recommending the provision be extended for two years because the roads were repaved.
