E X H I B I T "A"
Development Standards:
(a) This P -D zoning shall permit a residential land use at a maximum density of
20 dwelling units per acre for the 30.4 acres of existing land fill and
dredge spoils. The 20 acre lagoon and 16.6 acre diked wetland/marsh shall
remain undeveloped and are designated as private reserve, not approved for
development at this time. The shoreline levee is approved as a shoreline
access band. The levee and offshore submerged tidelands shall be dedicated
as part of the first subdivision and design review action for the proposed
project. To ensure that there is a transition in density and unit design,
the two acres immediately south of the Spinnaker Point townhouse development
(fronting Catalina Boulevard) shall be developed at a maximum density of 10
du/acre with maximum 2 -story units (designated "A" units). The designated
"B" and "C" units can be mixed throughout the remaining portions of the
site.
(b) Geology/Soils
I. No filling of the 20 acre lagoon or the 16.6 acre diked wetland/marsh
shall be permitted under this planned development zoning.
2. All land filling and grading shall be in compliance with the measures
identified in the soils report prepared for the proposed project by
Harding and Lawson Associates, dated September 6, 1983 and listed on
pages 25 and 26 of the draft Environmental Impact Report for Spinnaker
on the Bay.
3. Buildings, patios, fenced yards, balconies, roof overhangs and architec-
tural features shall be setback a minimum of 50 feet measured from the
highest waterline of the lagoon (-1.0 MSL) or a minimum of 10 feet from
the top of bank at finished grade (+7.0 MSL), whichever is greater.
Prior to tentative map or design review approval, the applicant shall be
required to provide a report prepared by a qualified biologist substan-
tiating that such a setback will not result in significant indirect
wildlife impacts associated with endangered species. All construction
and grading for seismic safety shall be to the satisfaction of the soils
engineer and City Engineer.
4. The amount of imported fill for raising existing land fill and
spoils area to comply with City flood protection standards is limited to
approximately 160,000 cubic yards of import. A use permit shall be obtained
from the City for all filling/grading activities.
5. A comprehensive erosion and sediment control plan shall be submitted
prior to issuance of grading permits. The plan shall include areas for
stockpiling and a watering/sprinklering plan to minimize dust gener-
ation.
6. A truck route for importing fill materials shall be established by the
City Engineer prior to issuance of a grading permit. Bonding for wheel
loads shall be required.
7. Hours of operation for grading and importing materials shall be
limited to between 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday in
order to limit noise and traffic impacts.
8. Any necessary street cleaning as a result of spills fill material
shall be the responsibility of the developer. Failure to clean up the
debris in the public right of way could result in a stop work order by the
City of San Rafael.
-1-
(c)
(d)
9. Prior to issuance of a grading permit by the Public Works Department,
the limit line of land fill shall be staked and fenced in the field.
The purpose of staking and fencing shall ensure that there is no filling
of existing lagoon and wetland areas and to identify the jurisdictional
limits of the J.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Hydrology/Drainage
1. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall design and
implement an erosion control plan to prevent sediment from entering the
lagoon during construction. The plan shall include provisions for items
such as sediment detention basins and traps, silt fences and/or hay
bales, temporary seeding of dirt piles and distributed soils areas, and
watering of loose soil areas on windy days. The plan shall be approved
and enforced by the City of San Rafael.
2. In order to provide the benefits of areawide flood plain management, the
construction of an interconnector pipeline may be required from the
existing Spinnaker lagoon to adjoining properties. The necessity for
and details of this interconnector shall be determined by the Public
Works Department at the time of the first design review or tentative
map. An easement shall be reserved through the development area to
accommodate this improvement. The easement shall be located and sized
to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.
Water Quality
1. Graded slopes shall be directed away from the lagoon and wetland areas.
All runoff from the development except that from the lagoon and levee
banks shall be routed into an enclosed drainage system designed with
sediment and grease traps to collect urban runoff. Ongoing maintenance
of the on-site drainage system shall be incorporated into the CC&Rs of
the homeowners association.
2. Storm drains shall be designed with sediment traps. The first hour of
winter storm runoff, and all summer runoff from lawns and roadways
should be routed directly into San Rafael Bay. This standard is
designed to reduce input of residential and landscaping nutrients and
oil and grease residues to the lagoon.
3. A detailed water management plan for the lagoon and wetland shall be
submitted at the time of the first Design Review application or at the
time of Tentative Map review. The plan shall take into consideration
the following goals:
a) Continual flood control;
b) Maintenance of water quality;
c) Regulation of water levels;
d) Control of siltation;
e) Management of the protective habitat area for wildlife; and
f) Enforcement of mosquito abatement measures.
The plan shall include detailed calculations and information on the
timing for cleaning and flushing the lagoon and wetland areas, schedule
for monitoring water levels and water quality, the amount of water
necessary to offset evaporation, and water necessary to maintain a
relatively fresh water lagoon. Ongoing management of the program shall
be conducted by a professional firm or agency experienced with biologi-
cal and water quality management, with the City governing management for
flood control. An advisory committee consisting of members representing
wildlife interests, City Public Works Department staff, City Planning
Department staff, Mosquito Abatement and homeowners association repre-
sentatives who are members of a special maintenance district shall be
appointed by the City to oversee the goals and objectives of the ongoing
-2-
(e)
(f)
management plan. The plan shall also determine a mechanism for private
funding of maintenance such as through homeowners association dues or
preferably formation of a special district.
4. The general mosquito abatement measures identified on pages 40 and 41 of
the draft EIR for Spinnaker on the Bay shall be implemented through the
ongoing water management program identified in condition (f-3), above.
The specific measures shall be the least impacting to wildlife values
and productivity of the lagoon wetland areas. The specific measures
shall be reviewed and approved by the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito Abatement
District.
5. Prior to issuance of the first building permits for this project, the
developer shall be responsible for providing a general cleanup of the
existing lagoon and wetland areas. This general cleanup would include
removal of all debris and repair of the existing flap gate located at
the south end of the wetland, east of Murphy's Rock, and any other
reasonable measures to the satisfaction of the City of San Rafael. The
City will consult with the various wildlife agencies/organizations for
assistance and guidance.
Air Quality
1. The developer shall provide water facilities and employ all measures
necessary and as required by the Department of Public Works to reduce
dust generation from grading operations.
2. As grading is completed on various portions of the project site, these
portions of the site shall be hydroseeded or landscaped, as required by
the Public Works and Planning Departments' use and grading permits.
Biological Resources
1. A minimum setback of 50 feet from the highest waterline of the lagoon
(-1.0 MSL) or 10 feet measured from the top of bank at finished grade
(+7.0 MSL) whichever is greater, shall be provided to all buildings,
patios, fenced yards, balconies, roof overhangs and architectural
features. The protective fence can be located downslope from the top of
bank at finished grade, with the precise location determined at the time
of design review.
2. A sufficient and specially designed edge treatment shall be required
around the south edges of the lagoon and wetland adjacent to the
development to mitigate indirect impacts to the Salt Marsh Harvest
Mouse. The edge treatment shall include dense landscaping and a 4 -foot -
high vinyl clad cyclone -type or similar transparent fence to discourage
trespassing around immediate edges of the lagoon and wetland areas.
Installation of a 6 -foot -high vinyl clad cyclone -type or similar
transparent fence shall also be required along the northern and southern
edges of the wetland to eliminate pedestrian access along the dikes
within the existing wetland area. Landscaping within the setback area,
along with consideration of incorporating all or part of the existing
berm, shall be determined at the time of design review.
3. A corridor between the Canalways and Spinnaker wetlands can be provided
by lowering the levee separating the two wetlands and providing an
elevated bridge for shoreline band access. This corridor shall be
provided only if the Canalways site is developed and the shoreline levee
(east of the Canalways site) is improved to Title 18, Flood Protection
Standards. Design and installation of these corridor improvements shall
-3-
be the responsibility of the Canalways developer. Prior to issuance of
building permits for Phase I, the applicant shall agree in a form ac-
ceptable to the City Attorney not to protest installation of this
corridor, if the Canalways development occurs.
4 No dedication or enhancement of the lagoon and wetland areas are re-
quired as part of this planned development zoning. However. ongoing
maintenance and cleanup responsibilities listed as part of these
development standards shall be required to maintain this currently
productive wildlife habitat area.
(g) Traffic/Circulation
1. Traffic mitigation fees for East San Rafael transportation improvements
shall be estimated at the time of use permit and design review for each
phase of this development. The fees shall be based on trip generation
rates of 1.1 trips per dwelling unit over 1,000 square feet in size and
.7 trips per dwelling unit for units less than 1,000 square feet in
size.
2. Prior to issuance of the first building permits, the developer shall
post a bond for the proposed project's share of the cost of a signal at
Catalina Boulevard and Bellam Boulevard. The $80,000 projected cost of
a signal (to be adjusted by the Lee Saylor building and material index
for changes in construction costs since January 1981) shall be divided
between the proposed projects as follows:
a) Spinnaker on the Bay - 45%
b) Canalways - 43%
c) City of San Rafael - 12%. If after 8 years (anticipated build out
of projects along Bellam Boulevard), warrants demonstrate that a
signal is or will be needed, the bonds will be called in and the
signal installed. If after 8 years, warrants do not demonstrate
that a signal is necessary, the bonds will be released.
3. The proposed project shall be divided into a minimum of three phases of
construction. Each phase shall not be limited to a specific size (8 to
9 acres), but shall contain no more than 1/3 of the total number of
units allowed in the development area and a maximum density of 20 dwell-
ing units per acre. No sequence of phasing is required. Phasing shall
be broken down as follows:
a) Phase I: Building permits can be issued within the first year of
the Planned Development zoning adopted provided that all subsequent
City permits are granted within the first year. Construction can
begin within the first year without the specific review of traffic
capacity or Levels of Service at critical intersections. Building
permits and construction that occurs after the first year shall be
reviewed to insure that Level of Service E with interim improve-
ments at the Bellam intersections can be maintained.
b) Phase II: Building permits cannot be issued for one full year (12
months) after building permit issuance of Phase I construction.
Building permits can be issued if critical intersections with
interim improvements are operating at levels of service acceptable
to the City Council.
c) Phase III: Building permits cannot be issued for one full year (12
months) after building permit issuance of Phase II construction.
Building permits can be issued if critical intersections with
interim improvements are operating at levels of service acceptable
to the City Council.
The initial P -D zoning shall be valid for three years (the estimated
time of absorption for presently approved development and projects under
-4-
(h)
construction in East San Rafael to reach Level of Service capacity at
critical intersections). Regardless of phasing, after this three year
period the City shall review available traffic capacity at critical
intersections to determine if a full payment of traffic fees or involve-
ment in an assessment district is necessary to fund transportation
improvements. This review is intended to strictly review traffic
capacity and remedies, not to change any land use or density standards.
4. Bellam Boulevard shall be extended and dedicated to the City of San
Rafael. The road right-of-way shall be 100 feet wide to Catalina
Boulevard. The road right-of-way shall be reduced to 60 feet wide east
of Catalina Boulevard. The road right-of-way shall extend eastward and
shall terminate at the east end of the adjacent City -owned parcel, in a
cul-de-sac bulb. The City or any other future developer of the adjacent
City -owned parcel to the southwest shall be required to participate in
the right-of-way dedication and costs for improving the extended Bellam
Boulevard. If the East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan recommends a City
park at the east end of the Spinnaker site, a roadway shall be designed
to extend 500 feet west of the eastern edge of the spoils area. The
right-of-way shall be located entirely on the subject property and shall
be designed with two travel lanes, two sidewalks, two parking lanes, and
two bicycle lanes to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.
Access from the extended Bellam Boulevard to the adjacent Canalways site
shall be granted provided that a "payback provision" for Bellam
Boulevard improvements be required of the Canalways' developer. A one
foot wide non -access strip shall be established between the Bellam
Boulevard right-of-way and the Canalways site. The non -access strip
shall not be removed for access to Canalways until pay back has
occurred.
5. Catalina Boulevard shall be extended and dedicated to the City of San
Rafael at a 60 -foot -wide right-of-way width as indicated on the develop-
ment plan dated November 12, 1984. There shall be a minimum of 150 feet
between the Catalina Boulevard/Bellam Boulevard intersection and the
Playa del Rey/Bellam Boulevard intersection.
6. Roadways within the project shall have a 20 -foot minimum unobstructed
width. If parallel parking is allowed on one side or both sides, the
width shall be no less than 28 or 36 feet, respectively. Private
bicycle paths shall be incorporated into the design of the roadways.
7. All turning radii for interior roadways within the project must be a
minimum of 45 feet to accommodate the largest fire trucks.
8. Emergency roadway access shall be designed throughout the entire project
to the satisfaction of the City Police and Fire Departments.
Noise
T. All proposed units which front along Bellam Boulevard shall be designed
with noise attenuation measures to mitigate potential noise impacts. A
noise analysis shall be submitted to the City for review and evaluation
prior to issuance of any building permits
2. The developer shall be required to participate in funding initial sound
attenuation program for 23 of the 29 Bahia de Rafael townhouse units
that would be affected by additional Bellam Boulevard traffic and in-
creased noise. The noise attentuation program should include
installation of air conditioning units for the 23 townhouse units which
face Bellam Boulevard and do not have mechanical ventilation. This
improvement is estimated at a cost of $1,500.00 per home (1985). The
proposed project's contribution to this program is estimated at $375.00
per unit at 1985 costs. Prior to issuance of the first building permit
-5-
for the proposed project, the developer would be required to enter into
a written agreement acceptable to the City Attorney, to pay and not to
exceed the amount of $8,625.00, as adjusted by the Lee Saylor index for
inflation. If the Canalways development does not occur and these
measures are still required, the amount required of the proposed project
shall be $500.00/unit or a total of $11,500.00. Payment would be made
when noise levels along Bellam Boulevard reach 65 decibels at the face
of the affected townhouse structures.
3. City staff shall periodically monitor traffic volumes along Bellam
Boulevard. When the traffic volumes reach the critical point where it
is assumed that the noise levels reach 65 decibels along the south
facing half of the affected Bahia de Rafael townhouses, a noise consult-
ant shall be hired to analyze noise levels and to recommend specific
attenuation measures.
4. Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the developer shall
agree in a form acceptable to the City Attorney to pay 50% of the noise
consultant's fees for preparation of the noise readings taken at the
south -facing walls of the 29 Bahia de Rafael townhouses (fronting Bellam
Boulevard).
5. When it is determined that noise levels along the south -facing walls of
the affected Bahia de Rafael townhouses have reached 65 decibels, the
fees for hiring a noise consultant and for implementing specific at-
tenuation measures shall be collected from various developers or
successors. The City shall distribute the moneys to affected townhouse
owners after proof has been submitted that the noise attenuation
measures have been installed.
6. Any unused moneys within the noise attenuation fund shall be returned to
the developer or successor in interest after two years to allow time for
townhouse residents to install the measures.
8. If noise mitigation is determined not to be necessary, all written
agreements shall become null and void.
9. 'All grading equipment shall be adequately muffled to minimize potential
noise impacts to the surrounding area.
10. All Spinnaker on the Bay units proposed to face Bellam Boulevard shall
be designed with noise attenuation measures as recommended by a
qualified noise consultant.
(i) Land Use/Affordable Housing Element
1. Each phase of the project shall provide a mix of floor plan types with a
bedroom mix. At least one-third of the development shall be designed to
provide small two-bedroom units of less than 1,000 sq. ft. in size.
These specifics shall be reviewed as part of each phase for development.
2. For each phase of the project which has a density of up to 15 dwelling
units per acre, a minimum of 10% of the dwelling units shall be affor-
dable to median income households (as defined by the San Rafael Housing
Element). If the density for any phase is greater than 15 dwelling
units per acre, a minimum of 30% of the increment of density over 15
dwelling units per acre be affordable to median income households. The
applicant shall apply for financial assistance from the County Housing
Authority, Canal Community Alliance, San Francisco Foundation, or
similar source to provide up to a 20% ratio of units affordable to
median income households. Prior to issuance of the first use and design
review permits, an affordable housing package agreement shall be sub-
mitted to the City for review and approval by the City Council. The
designated below market rate units shall include a pro -rata share of
each size and type of unit built and provided in each phase, unless the
'a
Council approves in writing a different mix. The above mentioned affor-
dability requirements shall apply to the area designated for the 'A'
type units, adjacent to the Spinnaker Point townhouse development except
that the share of affordable units required for this area of development
shall be located in the area designated for the 'B' and 'C' type units,
and shall be the type and size of the 'B' and 'C' type units.
(3) To provide flexibility in the affordable housing package agreement and
consistency with the City's adopted Housing Element, the following
housing options/alternatives may be considered;
a) Providing in lieu funds to the City's housing fund (housing Element
Program A.2) with funds to be reserved for use in Neighborhood 30.
b) Participation with the Redevelopment Agency in implementing Housing
Element Program A.9, which would use Redevelopment Agency powers to
meet housing needs that directly benefit Neighborhood 30.
c) Acquisition of rental housing (Housing Element Program B.7) that
directly benefits Neighborhood 30.
d) Participation in limited equity cooperatives -conversions (Housing
Element Program C.3) that directly benefits Neighborhood 30.
(j) Open Space/Parks
1. The proposed project shall be subject to in -lieu park dedication fees
consistent with the San Rafael Recreation Element. These fees shall be
assessed at the time of use permit, design review and/or subdivision
approvals for each phase of the development. Some credit shall be given
to active recreation areas only, not to passive recreation areas.
Active recreation areas are defined as areas providing a recreational
facility such as swimming pool, tennis court or club house.
2 The Draft East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan may identify a park site to
be located on 4 acres of land fill/spoils area, at the east end of the
property. To ensure that this alternative park site can occur, this
portion of the site shall be identified as the last phase of
development. If this portion of the Spinnaker site is chosen for a
public park, park dedication requirements and in -lieu fees for the
Spinnaker development shall be assessed at that time. Land dedication
and City payment for acres beyond the project's requirements may be
necessary. The timing on this dedication and payment will be determined
when the park assessment is made.
3 In conjunction with the extension of Bellam Boulevard, a bicycle path
shall be installed on both sides of the public street consistent with
the City's Recreation Element. This bicycle path shall connect with the
shoreline band access.
4. Public parking shall be provided at the east end of Bellam Boulevard, to
service shoreline band access. The public parking that is provided
shall be no less than 7 vehicle spaces or as required by the East San
Rafael Neighborhood Plan.
5. Prior to issuance of the first design review permit, the applicant shall
submit detailed plans for public access and shoreline band improvements
connecting the terminus of Bellam Boulevard and the shoreline levee.
These detailed plans shall be prepared by a landscape architect approved
by the City as qualified to do such work and shall include a design for
the following:
a) An 8 -foot -wide asphalt path and landscaping improvements extending
from Bellam Boulevard to the shoreline levee;
b) One bicycle rack located at the east end of Bellam Boulevard;
-7-
c) One bench and one trash enclosure provided for every 400 lineal
feet along the access path from the end of Bellam Boulevard to the
shoreline levee;
d) Public parking for seven vehicles located at the end of Bellam
Boulevard; and
e) A 30 -foot -wide public access easement measured from the south
property line extending from the end of Bellam Boulevard to the
shoreline levee, free of buildings, to maintain view corridors to
the shoreline.
These improvements shall be to the satisfaction of the City of San
Rafael. In addition to the above requirements, the top of the shoreline
levee shall be paved with an 8 -foot -wide asphalt surface. Three benches
and three trash enclosures shall be installed along the shoreline levee
to the satisfaction of the City and the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission. Installation of the Shoreline Band improvements connecting
Bellam Boulevard with the shoreline and shoreline levee improvements
shall not be required in connection with construction of the first phase
of development to ensure adequate time for BCDC permit approvals.
However, if such improvements are not constructed as part of Phase I, a
bond, with language and amount acceptable to the City Engineer and City
Attorney, must be posted prior to issuance of building permits for Phase
I. Furthermore, improvements shall be under construction within one
year of posting this bond.
6. Prior to issuance of building permits for the first phase of develop-
ment, Assessor's Parcel Numbers 9-142-13, 9-142-53, and 9-142-24 shall
be dedicated in -fee for open space purposes. These parcels encompass
the shoreline levee, 100 -foot -wide shoreline band, and offshore sub-
merged tidelands. The shoreline band and levee shall be dedicated in
fee to the City of San Rafael while the offshore submerged tidelands
shall be dedicated to the State of California.
7. The specific design for each phase of development shall include view
corridors to the lagoon and/or wetland areas consistent with the project
EIR and the East San Rafael Neighborhood Plan. These view corridors
shall be incorporated into the use permit and design review for each
phase of development. The view corridor locations required are as
follows:
a) A view corridor shall be provided in the design of Phase I from
Catalina Boulevard toward the lagoon between the existing Spinnaker
Point townhouse units and the designated "A" units;
b) A view corridor shall be provided in the design of Phase II from
Bellam Boulevard toward the lagoon at the designated "B" units, in
the proximity of the second recreation center; and
c) A view corridor shall be provided in the design of Phase III at the
end of Bellam Boulevard eastward toward the shoreline band and
offshore islands.
(k) Public Services/Utilities
1. Fire flows must meet the requirements of the Fire Department and will be
based on the type of building construction, percentage of exterior
openings and the distance between units.
2. To allow faster response by emergency vehicles, an identifier board with
a map showing the interior road system shall be placed at each entrance
to the project, subject to design review approval.
3. Each entry road shall identify the unit numbers, and each unit number
shall be visible from the street and illuminated at night.
4. To the greatest extent possible, unit entryways shall be visible from
the street/interior circulation ways.
Me
5. Detailed project landscaping plans shall be submitted at the time of
design review for each phase. Landscaping shall be designed to provide
adequate screening of the buildings and parking from public streets, yet
provide adequate visibility and sight distance at driveway entrance ways
for proper surveillance by the Police Department.
6. All security hardware on units shall be to the satisfaction of the
Police Department.
7. Water conserving devices in all interior plumbing fixtures shall be
installed to the satisfaction of the Marin Municipal Water District.
8. Drought tolerant vegetation shall be provided in all landscape areas.
9. The 50 -foot wide setback/buffer required along the edge of the lagoon
and wetland shall be designed with landscaping that has been reviewed
and approved by a biologist experienced in habitat landscaping and edge
treatment of wetland areas.
10. The landscape and irrigation plan for each phase shall consider an
efficient drip irrigation system to minimize runoff and erosion and to
conserve water.
11. The San Rafael Fire Department shall review the tentative map and reser-
voir sizing projected by the Marin Municipal Water District to ensure
adequate fire flow for East San Rafael. Given that projected build out
in the East San Rafael area will require construction of a two million
gallon water tank, the project may be required to participate in the
funding of construction of this water tank. This determination shall be
made by MMWD prior to issuance of building permits for Phase I.
12. Depending upon actual enrollments at Davidson Middle School, additional
classrooms may be required. The school district may assess a "bedroom"
tax on this and other residential development if there is a demonstrated
significant effect on school capacity. This bedroom tax can be used to
provide portable classrooms or additional school facilities. The monies
cannot be used for maintenance or operating expenses.
(1) Urban Design
1. The project design theme, building materials and colors of all phases of
this development shall be compatible with the adjacent Spinnaker Point
townhouse development. This theme shall be accompanied by a landscape
plan with similar treatment as landscaping at the Spinnaker Point
development.
2. Street trees shall be installed along Bellam and Catalina Boulevard,
spaced at 30 -foot intervals. These trees shall be installed in conjunc-
tion with the construction of the roadway improvements. Variations in
the intervals of tree planting may be considered to provide flexibility
and interest in the streetscape.
3. In conjunction with the first phase of development, an entry statement
(i.e., specialized landscaping, monument type identification signs)
shall be designed and installed along Catalina Boulevard, which iden-
tifies the adjacent Spinnaker townhouse development. A large entry
statement (specialized landscaping and monument type identification sign
for Spinnaker) shall be incorporated into the landscape plan at the
corner of Bellam and Catalina Boulevard.
