RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to enter into a professional services
contract between the City and Rincon Consultants, Inc. to prepare an EIR for the
Gates/King (TTM 50283) development, for a total contract amount not to exceed
$215,907 from account # 501-23024, subject to City Attorney approval. EIR preparation
costs will be borne by the applicant.
City staff has selected Rincon Consultants, Inc. to prepare an EIR for the Gates/King
(Tentative Tract Map 50283) project, which involves the development of an
industrial/commercial subdivision consisting of 68 lots on 571 acres located south of San
Fernando Road and west of Sierra Highway. As part of this project, approximately 219 acres
in the RE zone would be dedicated to the City as permanent open space. An additional 80
acres, approximately, would be used for a trail system. The project also involves the
construction of a four -lane industrial collector through the project site connecting Sierra
Highway and San Fernando Road. This roadway would serve as the primary means of access
to the industrial lots included in this industrial/business park development. A general plan
amendment and zone change are required, as well as an oak tree permit, conditional use
permit, hillside review, and a development agreement.
Rincon Consultants, Inc. was the highest rated firm of the three firms interviewed by City
staff for the preparation of the EIR. The cost for preparing the document is $215,907 and
will be borne solely by the applicant. The applicant will submit a check to the City and
City staff will administer the contract with the consultant.

EIR process, funds will be deposited into account #501-23024. Therefore, authorization
to proceed with the EIR does not create a fiscal impact to the City's budget.
