Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6
SUBJECT: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2022
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
PREPARED BY: Celeste Reid, Finance Director and Treasurer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month
ended December 31, 2022.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2022-61 approved on November 7, 2022, the
monthly Treasurer’s Report is hereby submitted. The report complies with the aforementioned
Council resolution, as well as Government Code Section 53646.
DISCUSSION: The investment report provides information in accordance with the Investment
Policy approved by Council Resolution No. 2022-61. Information includes the reporting of realized
and unrealized gain and loss activity for the respective month of reporting. Generally, unrealized
gains and losses are the day to day increases or decreases in an assets value. Until an investment
is sold for cash, the gains or losses remain unrealized. Realized gains and losses reflect the results
of selling of investments and are the difference between the cost basis and the market value as of
the transaction date of sale. The City will continually have reportable changes of unrealized gain
and loss activity between cost basis and market value as underlying investments are subject to the
variability of market conditions. Staff evaluates investment options on an ongoing basis to ensure
reasonable access to funds and reserves are set aside to maintain availability of cash position for
general operations and capital assets.
Significant transactions during the month include a transfer on December 6, 2022 of $350,000 from
the General Checking account to the LAIF Investment Fund and a transfer on December 22, 2022
of $350,000 from LAIF to the General Checking account.
FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue was recognized for interest and dividend earnings of $5,837 for CFD
and Successor Agency funds.

RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21080.17
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information
included in the General Plan, Zoning Code and Staff Report for the Public Hearing and
public testimony prior to taking action on this Ordinance and Zoning Text Amendment.
This information is on file and available at the Community Development Department at
Calimesa City Hall.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds that the Zoning Text Amendment is consistent
with the goals and policies of the General Plan and would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. Applicable General Plan goals
are identified below with a description of how this Ordinance furthers the goals of the
General Plan:
1. GOAL LU-1: Preserve and enhance the small-town atmosphere of Calimesa.
This Ordinance preserves and enhances the existing small-town atmosphere of
Calimesa, by encouraging growth and reinvestment in existing residential areas,
while the existing character of single family and multifamily areas, where new units
would be located, remains essentially unchanged.
2. GOAL LU-2: A logical and efficient pattern of development that reduces
infrastructure costs and maintains the character of Calimesa. This Ordinance
provides for a logical and efficient pattern of development because it allows
additional residential units and urban lot splits without the development of major
road, water and sewer infrastructure that is typical of new development, while also
maintaining the existing character of Calimesa.
3. GOAL LU-3: An arrangement of land uses that achieves maximum compatibility
between land uses and especially with existing neighborhoods. This Ordinance
provides for maximum compatibility with existing development because it
maintains the existing character of development. Compatibility issues associated
-1-
Page 37 of 56
with developing new multistory housing next to single-family development are
avoided as the new units and urban lot splits maintain the character of the land
use/zoning where they are located.
4. GOAL H-3: The City will provide opportunities for the development of new
housing units to meet the housing needs of all economic segments of the
population while preserving the natural environment and unique existing character
and physical attributes of the community. This Ordinance provides for new
housing units to meet the housing needs of all economic segments of the
population, while preserving the natural environment and unique existing character
and physical attributes of the community, because the additional units and urban
lot splits do not rely upon any substantial development of vacant land or
undeveloped open space located within the City.
SECTION 3. Section 17.10.020 (Definitions) of Chapter 17.10 (Definitions) of the
Subdivision Ordinance, Title 17, of the Calimesa Municipal Code, is hereby amended to
add definitions of “Dwelling unit, accessory,” “Dwelling unit, junior accessory,” “SB 9,” and
“Urban lot split” as follows, with all other definitions in Section 17.10.020 to remain the
same:
“Dwelling unit, accessory” means an attached or detached residential dwelling unit
which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. It
shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and
sanitation on the same parcel as a single-family dwelling or multifamily dwelling is
situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes: (1) an efficiency unit, as defined
in Section 17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code; and (2) a manufactured home,
as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.
“Dwelling unit, junior accessory” means a unit that is no more than 500 square feet
in size and entirely contained within a single-family residence. A junior accessory
dwelling unit includes cooking and food storage areas and may include separate
sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. A
junior accessory dwelling unit also includes an efficiency unit, as defined in Section
17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code.
“SB 9” means a state law signed by the Governor on September 16, 2021 that
amends Government Code section 66452.6 and adds Government Code sections
65852.21 and 66411.7.
“Urban lot split” means a parcel map subdivision permitted pursuant to the
regulations set forth in SB 9 that creates no more than two parcels of approximately
equal size.
SECTION 4. A new Section 17.15.060 (Urban Lot Splits) is hereby added to
Chapter 17.15 (Land Division Ordinance) of the Subdivision Ordinance, Title 17, of the
Calimesa Municipal Code to read as follows:
-2-
Page 38 of 56
A. The purpose of these standards is to establish procedures and standards for
the urban lot splits pursuant to SB 9 in a manner that preserves the integrity of
single-family residential areas, avoids adverse impacts on such areas, and
provides additional housing opportunities consistent with state law.
B. An urban lot split shall be processed as a parcel map, but no discretionary
review or public hearing shall be conducted if all required criteria have been met.
The Community Development Director shall approve an exception to any of the
standards specified in this section upon determining that complying with the
standard would physically preclude the construction of up to two residential units
per lot or would physically preclude either of the two residential units from being
800 square feet in floor area.
C. The City may deny an application for an urban lot split if the Building Official
makes both of the following findings in writing based upon a preponderance of
evidence:
1. The proposal would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public
health and safety or the physical environment as defined and
determined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2); and
2. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
specific, adverse impact.
D. The following standards shall apply to all urban lot splits:
1. Except as expressly provided in this section or SB 9, all other
applicable regulations from the Calimesa Municipal Code shall apply,
along with all applicable requirements of state law including the
Subdivision Map Act
2. Notwithstanding Government Code Section 66411.1, the City shall
not require dedications of rights-of-way or the construction of offsite
improvements for the parcels being created as a condition of issuing a
parcel map for an urban lot split.
3. No lot resulting from an urban lot split shall be smaller than 1,200
square feet.
4. No lot resulting from an urban lot split shall have more than two
residential units inclusive of any accessory dwelling unit or junior
accessory dwelling unit.
5. The two lots resulting from an urban lot split shall be approximately
equal in size, and no smaller than 40 percent or larger than 60 percent
of the lot area of the original parcel.
-3-
Page 39 of 56
6. No flag lots shall be created as a result of an urban lot split if the
subject property is adjacent to an alley, located on a corner, or on a
through lot.
7. The width of any lot resulting from an urban lot split shall not be less
than 20 feet wide.
8. The proposed parcel map shall demonstrate the ability to access the
public right-of-way in perpetuity.
E. Applicants are required to submit an application, including any maps, records,
or other documents required by the Community Development Director. Applicants
must provide a sworn statement affirming eligibility with SB 9 regulations. The City
may, at the applicant’s expense, conduct independent inquiries and investigation
to ascertain the veracity of any or all portions of the sworn statement.
F. A property owner seeking approval of an urban lot split shall execute and record
a covenant, supplied by the City and subject to the approval of the City Attorney,
that contains the following provisions:
1. Non-residential uses on the site shall be prohibited;
2. The short term rental for periods less than 30 days of any units on
the site shall be prohibited;
3. Any subsequent urban lot split of land that was previously subdivided
with an urban lot split shall be prohibited;
4. Except as provided in Government Code Section 66411.7 for
community land trusts and qualified nonprofit corporations, the owner of
the property for which an urban lot split is proposed shall sign an affidavit
stating that the owner intends to occupy one of the housing units as their
principal residence for at least three years from the date of the approval
of the urban lot split;
5. Ongoing compliance with all SB 9 requirements and restrictions shall
be required;
6. Access to the public right-of-way shall be maintained in perpetuity;
and
7. All required parking shall be maintained.
G. Urban lot splits shall comply with the Western Riverside County Multiple
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), the MSHCP implementing
agreement, and pay any applicable fees including any local development
mitigation fee.

SECTION 5. Section 18.10.020 (Definitions) of Chapter 18.10 (Definitions) of the
Zoning Code, Title 18, of the Calimesa Municipal Code, is hereby amended to add

SECTION 12. CEQA Finding. The City Council hereby finds, in the exercise of its
independent judgment and analysis, that this Ordinance is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that this
Ordinance has no likelihood of causing a significant negative effect on the environment
and accordingly both the City Council’s action of adopting this Ordinance and the effects
derivative from that adoption are exempt from the application of CEQA pursuant to State
CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3). This Ordinance will provide local regulations
related to accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, SB 9 development
projects, and urban lot splits in the City in order to protect the public health, safety, and
general welfare, and will thereby serve to avoid potentially significant adverse
environmental impacts. There is no possibility that adopting this Ordinance will have a
significant effect on the environment. It is therefore not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15061(b)(3) of
the California Code of Regulations and no environmental analysis is required.
Furthermore, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to: (1) Government Code
-12-
Page 48 of 56
Section 65852.21(j) as an action to implement Government Code Section 65852.21; (2)
Government Code Section 66411.7(n) as an action to implement Government Code
Section 66411.7; and (3) Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15282(h) as an action to implement the provisions of Government
Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. The Community Development Director shall
prepare and file a Notice of Exemption for this Ordinance.
SECTION 13. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence,
clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance, is for any reason held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby
declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection,
subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any
one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases or portions
thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 14. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take affect thirty (30) days after
its adoption. The City Clerk is directed to certify to the enactment of this Ordinance and
to cause this Ordinance to be published and/or posted as required by law.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8
SUBJECT: TRACT MAP NO. 30386-1 AND 30386-2: REDUCTION OF FAITHFUL
PERFORMANCE BOND.
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
Michael Thornton, City Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council:
1. Accept the public improvements completed by the Developer
2. Approve reducing the Faithful Performance Bond for the Street Improvements to 10% of the
total amount to retain as the Warranty Bond for a period of 1 year.
3. Approve reducing the Faithful Performance Bond for the Storm Drain Improvements to 5%
of the total amount to retain as the Warranty Bond for period 1 year.
BACKGROUND: On June 16, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2003-32, approving
Tentative Tract Map 30386, JP Ranch. The project is an approximate 360-acre single-family residential
tract development on the eastern side of the City comprised of up to 786 single-family homes, a wildlife
corridor, parks, public facilities and roadway improvements and which was entitled with three
subdivision tracts (26925, 30386 and 30387) and Conditions of Approval.
On April 2, 2007, City Council approved Final Maps for two phases of Tract 30386 (Final Tract Map
30386-1 and 30386-2) which have all subsequently been recorded in the Office of the County Recorder
accepting the rights-of-way offered on the Map.
Highpointe JPR 308, LLC, (Highpointe) purchased the portion of the project in JP Ranch within Tracts
30386. In early 2019, Highpointe subsequently sold the remaining lots within Tract Map 30386 to
Western Pacific Housing, dba D.R. Horton America’s Builder (DR Horton). On December 17, 2018, the
City Council approved termination of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) between the City
and Highpointe LLC and approved a new SIA between the City and D.R. Horton. Provided improvement
bonds are as followed:
• Faithful Performance “Singleton Street Improvements” in the amount of $1,685,000.00 (Bond
No. SUR0053413)
Page 51 of 56
• Faithful Performance “Singleton Street Storm Drain Improvements” in the amount of
$1,796,000.00 (Bond No. SUR0053415)
The Developer has completed the work and therefore requests the faithful performance bonds be
reduced (10% of the total bond amount for the Street Improvements and 5% for the Storm Drain
Improvements) to be maintained as Warranty for a period of 1 year. RCFC has sent the City a letter
stating that they have accepted the Storm Drain Improvements and is requesting that the City reduce
the bond amounts.
In Accordance with Section 19 of the Undertaking Agreement, the City Engineer herby notifies the City
Council that the Developer has completed the public Improvements related to the project in compliance
with improvement plans and all applicable City standards. Council shall accept the improvements and
authorize the reduction of the bonds to the following amounts:
• Faithful Performance “Singleton Street Improvements” in the amount of $168,500.00 (10%
of the total amount)
• Faithful Performance “Singleton Street Storm Drain Improvements” in the amount of
$89,800.00 (5% of the total amount)
