The Planning Department has reviewed the proposed site plan and has the following comments:

  1. The proposed project site is zoned Residential Agriculture-one and ten acre minimums (R-A-1 and R-A-10). This zoning classification does not list any specific uses that include "security training facilities, providing tactical and academic training programs for military and law enforcement personal" as described in the project description. Furthermore, the R-A zoning does not afford any subsequent consideration by the Planning Director for uses "not specifically identified," within Article Vlb, Section 6.50, (b) or (c). Based on the current zoning classification, the Planning Department cannot process and/or support this application under the current zoning classification of R-A.
  2. The Planning Department suggest that a Zone Change Application be filed to alter the current zoning classification of the project site from Residential-Agriculture-one acre minimum (R-A-1) to Rural Commercial (C-R) on portions of the project designated by the Rural Community: Very Low Density Land Use Designation (VLDR-RC). Furthermore, this facility is not listed as a use specifically identified and shall require specific consideration by the Planning Director under Article IXd, Section 9.62. Subsection (d). The Planning Director shall find that the proposed use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those listed in the designated subsections (a and b). Such a use is subject to the permit process, which governs the category in which it falls. Any require outside storage shall be specifically detailed within the findings above, and consistent with Section 9.64 (g) of this ordinance. The above-mentioned findings shall be issued by the Planning Director in writing to the applicant and/or their representative.
  3. Primary concerns regarding this project are the incorporation of buffering concepts to shield the existing and future residential units surrounding the proposed project to the west and south. A Specific Plan proposal located west of Briggs Road, south of Mountain Avenue, north of Mapes Road, and east of Menifee Avenue is currently proposing approximately 750 single-family homes, which are urban in nature. Even though this Specific Plan is not approved, consideration shall be given to the potential development of additional residential housing within the surrounding area as well as the existing land uses.
  4. Please detail all building setbacks as they are delineated from the nearest existing lot line. All front, side, and rear yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 25-feet from the proposed street line.
  5. Please detail on plans the appropriate number of trash enclosures to service the project site. All enclosures shall be screen with a six-foot (6') high fence and be inaccessible to wildlife.
  6. The proposed project shall be required to install, and provide proof of installation to the Riverside County Planning Department, of an acceptable security system.
  7. The proposed septic system located at the southern portion of the project site (located adjacent to Building #1) must show the proposed leach lines, and 100% expansion area.
  8. The proposed septic system located northwest of Building #1 1 is located within the pad area of this building, please relocate to a more appropriate position and show the proposed leach lines, and 100% expansion area.
  9. Provide further information regarding the proposed "earthen berm" located to the east of Briggs Road. What is the propose? The location of this berm seems to conflict with the implementation of the proposed R-O-W section for Briggs Road.
  10. Revise Section "A-A" to detail the improvements proposed by this project and improvement "by-others" rather than 'Future."
  11. There are a large amount of "blank-space" delineated on this site plan (pages 2-3) that is surrounded by the "Perimeter Road" (Section "E-E") and the Central Road (Section "C-C"). Is this are to remain "natural," "graded," etc. What is the proposed disposition of these areas not impacted by any proposed structures?
  12. There are areas on the site plan that appear to represent access roads, but are not delineated by a particular section or shaded. Please provide more information on these areas.
  13. Are the "arrowed" details shown around the proposed slopes that surround Buildings #21 and #22 supposed to represent drainage flows? Please clarify.
  14. Are the "Exst. Stl Buildings in Place" as shown on the site plan to remain, and if so, will they be incorporated into the project proposal?
  15. Please provide further information regarding the incorporation of retaining walls in favor of sloped areas for building pads. Retaining walls in excess of five-feet (5') are generally discouraged for Planning purposes.
  16. Please provide additional information on this project's intent/requirement to realign/improve Briggs Road. Consideration of potential findings under Ordinance No. 460, Section 3.2J may be required as part of this project proposal.
  17. This project will be required to apply for a Certificate of Compliance prior to the first Building Permit, as it is a portion of a lot.
  18. This project does not propose any parking as shown on the proposed site plan. Since no specific use exist within Ordinance No. 348, Section 18.12, the project proponent shall provide a list of all full-time and part-time employees, and project number of clients that will visit the facility on a daily basis.
  19. Will this project provide for any "overnight" accommodations?
  20. Please provide further information regarding the hours of operation.

The following reports/plans shall be required and submitted for County Review:

  1. A Phase I Cultural Resources report
  2. Conceptual Landscaping Plans (specifically identifying landscaping along Briggs Road) (3 copies)
  3. Slope Analysis Report (all drive areas, structures, and access points shall remain out of the areas of 25% slope). Please overlay the site plan onto this exhibit.
  4. An acoustical analysis to evaluate the potential noise impacts from vehicles and weapons.
  5. An Air Quality analysis to evaluate the potential impacts from fugitive dust and vehicular emissions.

No issues other than those identified in this letter will be raised by staff during the processing of an application for the development proposal. However, where the Planning Director subsequently determines that conditions have changed or that the existing information does not fully address all significant concerns, staff may require an additional study or studies not specified in this letter. Similarly, County and special district policies may change during the letter's two year life and policy recommendations which were valid when the letter was issued may or may not be valid when the development proposal is filed and processed. In such cases, the development application will be subject to County and special district policies in effect at the time of filing or hearing, whichever is appropriate. State and Federal policies and laws unknown or not effective at the time of the Fast Track meeting may also affect the subsequent application.


BOS AGENDA ITEM TO DO FAST TRACK ANYWAY

SUBMITTAL TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COUNTY Of RIVERSIDE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA


FROM: Supervisor Marten Ashley SUBMITTAL DATE: March 8, 2007

SUBJECT: FAST TRACK REQUEST FOR THE "RANCH" TRAINING CENTER

RECOMMENDED MOTION: Thai the Board pf Supervisors grant Fast Track status to The "Ranch" Training Center In accordance with Board Fast Track Policy A-32.

BACKGROUND:
Economic Development Agency staff has received a request for Fast Track status from Procinctu Group to construct a privately owned police, military and governmental agency tactical training center. The proposed development project will be located northerly of Morden Drive and westerly of Briggs Road in the unincorporated community of Homeland totaling 194 acres. The training center wiil consist of administrative office buildings, a gymnasium, s covered pool, classrooms, training structures, several mock streets arranged to sirmrfate a town, indoor firing range/simulation firing ranges, indoor rifle ranges, and a tactical driving test track and skid pad totaling approximately 77,875 sq. ft.


The proposed development project received Fast Track Authorization on 12/13/2006. However, after further review from the Plannffig Department it was deemed that a Publfc Use Permit was the most appropriate land use application for this development project. The Public Use Permit land use application is not eligable to receive Fast Track Authorization under current Fast Track Policy guidelines. Therefore, in order to assist the applicant in expediting the land use and permit process approval, I am recommending that Fast Track status be granted to this project.
