Th e purpose of the Specifi c Plan is to create Commercial, Retail, Business Park, Light Industrial and Manufacturing land use opportunities to serve local residents and tourists alike and to target land uses that strengthen Truckee’s local economy by capturing uses that do not physically fi t elsewhere within the Town. Additionally, the intent of the Plan is to capture specifi c land uses that support but do not compete with the downtown commercial retail areas. Lastly, the Plan will accommodate the possible relocation of certain existing types of commercial and industrial businesses located along the Truckee River corridor. Th is Specifi c Plan establishes zoning, design standards and guidelines for buildout of the plan area. Th is plan was prepared under the 2025 General Plan, the November 8, 2010 Development Code and the August 6, 2010 BAE Economic Report. Th e specifi c designations for the zoning districts are as follows: REGIONAL COMMERCIAL (CR) Th e CR zoning district is located on the south side of Soaring Way and is approximately 11.7 acres in size. Th e targeted uses for the CR zoning district include commercial and retail services that emphasize buildings larger than 5,000 S.F. such as: • Grocery market • General merchandise - Large fl oor plate • Home furnishings & appliances • Offi ce space - Large fl oor plate • Casual dining restaurants REGIONAL SUPPORT COMMERCIAL (CRS) Th e CRS zoning district consists of 3 areas totaling approximately 6.1 acres located at the Soaring Way / Joerger Drive intersection. Th e CRS zoning district Well Articulated Large-Floor Plate Building Design 1.3 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN I NTRODUCTION | C HAPTER 1 is intended to attract businesses that support the CR zone by focusing on services that promote the small town outdoor recreational atmosphere. Th e targeted uses for the CRS zoning district include: • Outdoor recreational equipment sales • Bike sales and rentals • Health & Fitness facilities • Casual dining restaurants • Recreational vehicle sales LIFESTYLE COMMERCIAL (CL) Th e CL zoning district is located on the north side of Brockway Road and consists of approximately 7.6 acres. Th e CL zoning district is intended for businesses that promote the varied and interesting mix of land uses that currently exist within the Brockway Road corridor including unique, locally- owned and operated retail, service & recreation uses with outdoor display, activity and/or dining areas. Th e targeted uses for the CL zoning district include: • Home furnishings w/indoor & outdoor displays • Wine tasting facilities & and beverage garden • Casual dining restaurants w/ outdoor dining • Retail w/ outdoor sales & displays • Garden supplies and nursery sales BUSINESS PARK (M1) Th e M1 zoning district consists of 3 areas east of State Hwy 267 totaling approximately 13.6 acres. Th e M1 zone is designed to encourage relocation of industrial and manufacturing uses from the Truckee River Corridor and to allow manufacturing/ industrial uses. Th e targeted uses for the M1 zoning district include: • Fitness Center and indoor sports activities and training facilities • Manufacturing and warehousing • Auto/recreational dealerships, repair and maintenance transportation centers • Specialty food and spirit production facilities • Research and Development Facilities • Transportation centers BUSINESS INNOVATION ZONE (BIZ) Th e BIZ zoning district consists of two areas west of State Hwy 267 totaling approximately 14.0 acres. Th e BIZ zoning district is intended to provide land area to attract new innovative manufacturing and research& development businesses to the Truckee area and create a campus style business environment focusing on eco-friendly and emerging green industries. Th e targeted uses for the BIZ zoning district include: • Manufacturing of custom furniture and household products • Specialty food and spirit production & distribution • Research & Development facilities • Green technology including material production, design & research RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY (RM) Th e multi-family zoning district is approximately 3.5 acres in size and located west of proposed Martis Drive, fronting on the Ponderosa Golf Course. Example of Manufacturing Architecture 1.4 C HAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN Th e RM zone is intended to provide a variety of higher density, attached and/or detached housing opportunities in close proximity, for both employees and employers of the various commercial and industrial land uses allowed in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. OPEN SPACE (OS) Th e OS zoning district is primarily intended to protect natural resources on the site and establish a buff er zone and setbacks from State Route 267. Th e Open Space parcel at the Hope Court / Brockway Road intersection is intended to provide an opportunity for a trailhead to access the Northstar trail segment, park & ride, public art and a portion of the remaining area for use by a public or non- profi ct organization. Parking for the trailhead and Park & Ride will consist of 8 - 12 parking spaces. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan provides the framework to create employment opportunities and to implement the General Plan Policies for the PC-3 land use planning area as set forth in the General Plan. Chapter 2 Community & Regional Context 2.2 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 1 | Introduction Th is chapter frames the Joerger Ranch Plan Area within the context of the neighboring local and regional context — both as it physically exists today and as it is planned for the future. Th is chapter also describes the various jurisdictions, agencies and special districts having regulatory authority over the Plan Area. An economic evaluation prepared by Bay Area Economics (BAE) was used to defi ne the types of commercial retail/business park, light industrial and manufacturing land uses that could be accomodated in the PC-3 Specifi c Plan. Th e intent is to a) not compete with Downtown Truckee commercial retail, b) provide land area with zoning that can accommodate possible relocation of certain types of existing commercial and industrial businesses located along the Truckee River corridor, and c) capture certain types of commercial / retail, business park, light industrial and manufacturing land uses that local residents currently travel to Reno to purchase. Th e report concluded the following: • Retail space for PC-3 should be restricted to serving the large users that would not physically fi t into downtown Truckee’s historic building spaces. Th is would include targeting businesses that need to move large products, like furniture and appliances, or other uses that may have trouble transporting goods in and out of downtown Truckee. In addition, PC-3 could provide suffi cient land area to allow businesses currently located on the Truckee River the opportunity to relocate to more a compatible use area. Th is will allow the Town to implement the vision of the Truckee River Revitalization Plan. Th e report also suggested that while downtown Truckee is a local regional dining destination, PC-3 may represent a suitable location for certain restaurant types that would not be appropriate in the downtown, such as fast food or “chain” casual dining restaurants. • Th ere is a demand for nearly 270,000 S.F. of additional retail space that Truckee could absorb through 2023. Th at demand will be in the areas of apparel, general merchandise, food stores, eating and drinking places, home furnishings and appliances, “other retail”, building material categories, automotive and RV sales and service stations. During this timeframe, the Town is projected to be able to absorb the equivalent of one more full-size supermarket or a couple of smaller format food stores, up to two service stations and possibly a small recreational vehicle dealership selling motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs boats and/or personal watercraft . • Th e analysis found that smaller scale developments, such as medical and professional offi ces and most retail uses, are more suitable and could be more easily absorbed within the other four planned development areas (PC-1, PC-2, Railyard & Hilltop Master Plan), as well as in existing commercial spaces in Truckee. Uses requiring larger spaces, such as large fl oor plate offi ce users, fi tness and health clubs, light manufacturing, green construction and retrofi t businesses, alternative and renewable energy generation, R&D facilities and small recreational vehicle dealerships, would most likely encounter greater regulatory restrictions in the other four planned development areas and existing commercial spaces in Truckee, and may be more suitable for the PC-3 property. 2.3 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 • PC-3 presents a unique opportunity to house “green sector uses” within Truckee without competing with the existing and other planned commercial developments. Green sector uses could include facilities for businesses involved in energy conservation and alternative energy as well as outdoor environmental sustainability culture (whether in research and development or manufacturing). • PC-3 may also be an opportunity for vehicle service stations, larger format retail, chain restaurants not appropriate for the downtown, and grocery markets. Given these factors, the zoning and targeted uses proposed in the Joerger Ranch PC-3 Specifi c Plan are intended to promote economic activity and create local jobs while not competing with the economic base of Downtown Truckee. Th ey also can promote redevelopment along the Truckee River. Th e BAE report concluded that PC-3 could be developed in such a way as to lessen the potential competitive impacts on downtown, diversify the local economy and promote economic development by targeting the following: • Retail space that emphasizes buildings larger than 5,000 S.F. Th is would allow for expanded economic opportunities and limit competition with the Downtown area, since buildings Downtown tend to be smaller than 5,000 S.F. • Commercial uses that need larger building area, such as indoor recreation and training facilities, health and fi tness clubs, base facilities for environmental tourism (i.e. biking, raft ing, boating, camping expedition equipment, storage, etc.) culinary center and grocery markets. • Businesses like furniture or appliance dealers who require large areas for showrooms or storage along with areas for truck loading and unloading and delivery of goods. • Fast food and/or chain casual dining restaurants that tend to locate in conventional shopping center settings near highways. • Large fl oor plate users that cannot be accommodated within the downtown Truckee area due to the existing building limitations and inadequate available square footage. • Recreational vehicle dealership, repair and maintenance facilities, boat, motorcycle, ATV, snow mobile sales and auto sales. • Warehousing that can support custom furniture or fabrication operations, greenhouse and specialty food production operations, light manufacturing and Research and Development. 2 | Truckee & North Tahoe Region As a gateway to the north shore of Lake Tahoe (via both State Routes 267 and 89), Truckee has an opportunity to serve a large population of tourists and travellers passing through to the North Tahoe region and surrounding areas. State Route 267 crosses through the middle of the Plan Area and provides the most direct route from Interstate 80 (I-80) to the north shore communities of Incline Village, Tahoe Vista, Kings Beach and Carnelian Bay. Th is results in the Joerger Ranch Plan Area having a regional market signifi cance. 2.4 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN Th e Martis Valley Community Plan (MVCP, Placer County, adopted in 2003) considers the Town of Truckee the urban core of the Martis Valley, an area of land approximately seventy square miles adjacent to the Town’s southern jurisdictional boundary. Joerger Ranch, situated at the northern edge of the Martis Valley and southern edge of the Town of Truckee, is a primary location for providing services and goods to support the full-time, seasonal and tourist population. Joerger Ranch provides an accessible and convenient location to obtain services and goods for a large area of the Truckee community, as well as the region south of Town, given its location in the southeast area of the Town and the existing highway and local roads crossing through the Plan Area. Joerger Ranch is easily accessed from nearby neighborhoods including Sierra Meadows and Ponderosa Ranchos, as well as the more distant neighborhoods of Glenshire, Prosser Lakeview and Tahoe Donner (these three neighborhoods representing nearly 10,000 residential units). Th e same is true for the nearby Martis Valley (Placer County) neighborhoods of Lahontan, Schaff er’s Mill, Martis Camp and Northstar. Joerger Ranch enables residents and visitors of these neighborhoods to conveniently access services and goods, resulting in reduction of vehicle miles traveled to alternative service commercial locations. 3 | Local Community 3.1 Neighboring & Surrounding Land Uses Th e Joerger Ranch Plan Area is directly adjacent to a wide variety of existing and planned land uses. Th e Truckee-Tahoe Airport, a general aviation facility, FIGURE 2-1 TOWN OF TRUCKEE PLANNING AREA 2.5 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 is the major existing land use north and east of the Plan Area. Areas north, west and south of the Plan Area are characterized by a mix of low and medium density residential, commercial and recreational uses. Th e Ponderosa Golf Course borders a portion of the Plan Area directly to the west. Table 2-1 lists the existing land uses that border each of the four parcels comprising the Joerger Ranch Plan Area. Figure 2-2 indicates the existing uses surrounding the Plan Area. Following the variety of land uses directly adjacent to the Joerger Ranch Plan Area, the immediately surrounding land uses (e.g.: those in close proximity, but not adjacent to, the Plan Area) and neighborhoods also represent a diverse, and distinctly diff erent, set of land uses. Th e area west of the Plan Area is dominated by single and multiple family residential land uses on both sides of Brockway Road, known within the Town General Plan as the Brockway Road Corridor. Th is corridor is also characterized by open space and recreation lands as well as a variety of local- serving commercial uses fronting Brockway Road. Th e Truckee Tahoe Airport occupies a vast majority of the land area to the east of the Plan Area, with a range of offi ce, commercial (e.g.: retail and service), industrial (e.g.: warehousing and storage) and public (including Truckee’s Town Hall) uses along the east-end of Soaring Way and Truckee Airport Road. A very similar land use pattern exists along Business Park Drive, a local connector road between Truckee Airport Road and Soaring Way. Nearby the Plan Area, the Truckee-Tahoe Airport lands are the predominate lands Table 2-1 – Land Uses Adjacent to Plan Area ASSESSORS PARCEL NUMBER WESTEASTNORTHSOUTH 19-620-01 Ponderosa Golf CourseAPN 19-620-02 Open space, low density residential Ponderosa Golf Course 19-620-02 Martis Drive, Ponderosa Golf Course SR 267 Open space Brockway Road 19-620-31 SR 267 Joerger Drive Truckee-Tahoe Airport Brockway Road 19-620-04 SR 267 Truckee Tahoe Airport Brockway Road SR 267 Source: Quad Knopf, Inc. – Table 3.1.1 of O&C Analysis FIGURE 2-2 SURROUNDING USES 2.6 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN to the east. An established single family residential area surrounding the Ponderosa Golf Course lies to the northwest of the Plan Area. Interstate 80, the Truckee River and the Union Pacifi c railroad are located approximately one half mile north of the Plan Area, just beyond the Truckee-Tahoe Airport. To the south, the nearby area is characterized by residential and commercial uses on either side of SR 267 for approximately one-quarter mile. Further south, uses along SR 267 quickly transition to the open space of the Martis Valley beyond the Town of Truckee and Placer County boundary. 3.2 Relationship with Town Neighborhoods, Centers & Commercial Centers Th e General Plan Community Character Element places particular emphasis on the importance of small town mountain character and town design. Town design is defi ned in the Community Character Element (GP Page 3-10) as follows: Town Design focuses on the visual and functional relationships of the places, buildings and structures that defi ne the built environment. It considers the relationships between people and places, circulation and connections, and the physical form of the town. Understanding community character in Truckee comes, to some extent, through an understanding of the composite parts of Truckee’s built environment, the “building blocks” of centers, neighborhoods, districts, corridors and gateways that, in addition to the open spaces described previously, comprise the fabric of the town. To provide a framework for discussing issues of community character as it relates to the form of the built environment, this Element looks at Truckee in terms of a series of discrete places and community areas, categorized by type. Th ese types include: • Centers, the commercial and mixed use FIGURE 2-3 TOWN’S NEIGHBORHOODS, CENTERS AND DISTRICTS 2.7 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 areas of the Town that serve as the focus for community life and commercial activity. • Residential Neighborhoods, which constitute the majority of Truckee’s developed areas. • Employment Districts, which include the relatively few places in Truckee where job- generating uses dominate. • Corridors and Gateways, the linear features of the town that provide both connectivity and identity to the community at its entry points. Joerger Ranch embodies all four of these types of places. As a result, it plays a signifi cant role in strengthening the Town’s fabric. Th e General Plan designates the portion of the Plan Area adjacent to Brockway Road as in the Brockway Road Neighborhood Area Overlay (see Figure 2-3). Th is designation is in recognition of the Brockway Road corridor’s importance as a key gateway to Truckee from the south. Th e General Plan’s Brockway Road Policy 1 (GP Page 2-43) seeks the preservation and improvement of the existing corridor through respecting its “open qualities”, recognizing its “gateway status” and supporting its use a “bicycle and pedestrian route”. Th e General Plan designates the Town’s important gateways and corridors (see Figure 2-4) and identifi es the Brockway Road Corridor and its intersection with SR 267 as important to the Town’s overall community character. Th e Town’s General Plan addresses the Brockway Road Neighborhood Area, including reference to PC-3, as follows (GP Pages 2-42 and 2-43): Th e Brockway Road Neighborhood Area is applied to the Brockway Road Corridor, in recognition FIGURE 2-4 TOWN’S CORRIDORS & GATEWAYS 2.8 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN of this important thoroughfare as a key gateway to Truckee from the south. It also recognizes the potential for signifi cant change in this area with conversion of the roadway from a State Highway to a local road, following the completion of the Highway 267 Bypass. Land Uses Allowed: Land uses allowed in this designation are those uses permitted in the underlying land use designations. Th ese include residential uses, predominately in the medium and high-density ranges; commercial and lodging uses; public facilities; open space for recreational uses and scenic and habitat value; and uses allowed under an approved specifi c plan for PC-3. Density and Intensity: Residential designations, as shown in the Land Use Map, allow development at densities ranging from three to twelve units per acre. Commercial and industrial uses are allowed at an average FAR of 0.2. Th e General Plan identifi es Town’s neighborhoods, centers and districts, including the identifi cation of the Town’s two largest Town Centers: Downtown Truckee and the Gateway Area (see Figure 2-4). Although not specifi cally identifi ed as an employment district, it is appropriate to consider Joerger Ranch within this classifi cation, recognizing the considerable job- generation resulting from development of the Plan Area. Joerger Ranch is not considered to be a Town Center, rather one of six Commercial/Mixed Use Centers within the community. Th is is an important distinction, as the Commercial/Mixed Use Center classifi cation of the General Plan guides the type of place for Joerger Ranch and its relationship with the larger community. 3.3 Relationship with Downtown Truckee Downtown Truckee maintains an important distinction from other Town centers and commercial / mixed-use centers as the “historic and commercial heart of the community” (GP Community Character Element, page 3-12). Although Joerger Ranch is located more than a mile east of Historic Downtown Truckee via Brockway Road, there is a reasonable physical relationship between these two important areas of Town, particularly with pedestrian and bicycle linkages. Th e Town’s General Plan Land Use Policy 6.2 necessitates a complementary relationship between Downtown Truckee, as a Town Center, and Joerger Ranch, as a Commercial/Mixed-Use Center. Th at policy states: Maintain and enhance Downtown as the heart of Truckee and as the Town’s premier tourist destination through the following methods, and through Action A6.2. Furthermore, the importance of maintaining the economic health of Downtown Truckee by identifying and understanding potential competition created by PC-3 and other “large developments with substantial commercial/industrial fl oor space” (GP Land Use Element, Action A6.1, page 2-58), is a high priority for the community. Th e Downtown area has its own distinctive character, ambiance and attraction. Th e commercial land use allowed by this Plan emphasizes community serving uses which are more appropriately located outside of Downtown Truckee, due to the type of uses and large fl oor area necessary to accommodate these uses. As required by GP Land Use Element Action A6.1, an economic analysis was prepared for the Specifi c Plan. Th e fi ndings of the report identify appropriate uses. 4 | Plan Area Environmental Setting & Conditions 4.1 Land Use Th e existing site is primarily undisturbed and undeveloped, with the exception of one commercial building and an adjacent abandoned well with a pump house structure. Th e small commercial building and 2.9 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 pump house structure are located near the southwest corner of the project site and accessed from Brockway Road. Th ere are signifi cant roadway and drainage infrastructure improvements that bisect the property. 4.2 Visual / Aesthetic Th e Plan Area is located in the Martis Valley, a large, level-to-rolling meadow at the confl uence of the Truckee River and Martis Creek fl oodplains, east of Interstate 80 (I-80) and the Town of Truckee. Th e valley-bottom portions of the site are visually open, with views over large areas of open meadow interrupted by substantial stands of Ponderosa pine. Views from the valley to nearby peaks and ridges of the Sierra Nevada and Carson Ranges are visible in all directions. Visual quality of the Martis Valley, despite existing development, is high. Mountains and wooded slopes remain a predominate part of the landscape. Th e site has also been identifi ed in the General Plan as the key gateway to the Town of Truckee from the south. 4.3 Biological Th e natural vegetation within the Plan Area consists of patchy grasslands and meadows, sagebrush shrublands, and coniferous forests and woodlands. In general, the Plan Area is composed primarily of sagebrush scrub with scattered pine around the site and in clusters on the southern portion of the Plan Area on either side of SR 267. A search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) identifi ed eleven species within a fi ve mile radius of the Plan Area. Th e Plan Area contains no natural communities considered sensitive or rare by the California Department of Fish and Game. Th e site contains two drainages that were determined to be isolated waters (ephemeral and intermittent streams). Th ese isolated waters are fed from the south by culverts passing under Brockway Road and State Route 267. 4.4 Cultural Two cultural resources site were identifi ed by Kautz Environmental Consultants, Inc. however, these two sites have no meaningful relationship to any of the historic themes identifi ed for the project area: transportation, timber, ice or tourism. Th e sites have no known relationship to any historically signifi cant person or event and are considered non-signifi cant. 4.5 Geological Slopes within the Plan Area are generally fl at to gentle with existing grades ranging from approximately 5,850 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the northwestern portion of the site to approximately 5,930 feet MSL in 1 | VIEW NORTH FROM HWY 267 2 | VIEW SOUTH FROM HWY 267 2.10 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN the southern portion of the site. Th e Plan Area is located along the western edge of the Truckee Basin in the Martis Valley. Th e Truckee Basin was fi lled with volcanic fl ows and sediments of the Lousetown Formation, known as the Martis Valley formation of Latham. 4.6 Hydrologic Th ere are no FEMA-mapped 100-year fl ood plains within the Plan Area. Generally, surface runoff enters the southwest quadrant of the Plan Area through a culvert under Brockway Road and is absorbed onsite. In the northwest quadrant of the Plan Area, it appears that signifi cant surface runoff enters from the south, through a culvert under State Route 267 and continues off -site to the adjacent parcels to the north- northeast. A drainage ditch runs along a portion of the Truckee Tahoe Airport’s southwest boundary east of Joerger Drive. Additional information regarding hydrology and storm drainage characteristics is provided in Chapter 5. 4.7 Traffi c & Circulation INTERSTATE 80 (I-80) I-80 provides interregional highway connections east to Reno, Nevada and beyond, and west to Sacramento, California and the San Francisco Bay Area and is a main transportation route between northern Nevada and the Bay Area. Th e Martis Valley area lies to the south of I-80, thirty-four miles west of Reno and ninety miles east of Sacramento. Th is section of I-80 is currently a four-lane divided highway with speed limits posted at sixty-fi ve miles per hour. Th e Joerger Ranch Plan Area is located along State Route 267, approximately 1.3 miles southeast of the I-80 / State Route 267 / State Route 89 interchange. I-80 is a signifi cant transportation route to the Plan Area with travel times less than 2 minutes from the interstate. STATE ROUTE 267 State Route 267 is a two-lane highway running in a general northwest-southeast alignment between the I-80/State Route 89 North/State Route 267 interchange in Truckee and State Route 28 in Kings Beach. From the I-80/State Route 89 North/State Route 267 signalized intersection, the roadway heads south across the State Route 267 Bypass (completed in November 2002). State Route 267 is of local and regional signifi cance, providing access to residential, industrial, commercial and recreational land uses. Th e Bypass provides a direct travel route for regional traffi c between 3 | VIEW EAST ALONG BROCKWAY ROAD 4 | VIEW WEST @ HWY 267 & BROCKWAY ROAD 2.11 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 the Martis Valley and the Tahoe Basin, connecting Interstate 80 in Truckee to the Northstar at Tahoe ski resort and Kings Beach on Lake Tahoe. State Route 267 also has signalized intersections at Brockway Road/Soaring Way and the Truckee Airport Road intersections. STATE ROUTE 89 State Route 89 (SR 89) is one the three primary California routes that access Lake Tahoe (the other two are State Route 267 and U.S. Highway 50). SR 89 provides access between Donner Pass Road in Truckee and Tahoe City (the SR 89 south segment). Starting at the I-80/State Route 267 interchange on the east side of Truckee, SR 89 north services as a rural two-lane highway connecting Truckee and Sierraville, Quincy, Mount Lassen National Park and Mount Shasta to the north. BROCKWAY ROAD Brockway Road connects the Bridge Street/South River Street intersection in downtown Truckee southeastward to State Route 267 at the Brockway Road/Soaring Way intersection located just north of the Placer County/Nevada County line. Brockway Road is a two lane arterial roadway with speed limits varying from twenty-fi ve mph to forty-fi ve mph. Traffi c signals are currently installed at the Palisades Drive intersection and the intersection with State Route 267, while the Martis Valley Road/Brockway Road intersection is controlled by a roundabout. All other intersections are controlled by stop signs on the side street approaches. 7| VIEW TO EAST FROM SOARING WAY @ JOERGER DRIVE 5 | VIEW TO EAST FROM HWY 267 SOUTHBOUND 6 | VIEW FROM INTERSECTION OF JOERGER DRIVE / SOARING WAY 2.12 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN DONNER PASS ROAD From its eastern terminus at State Route 89 north, Donner Pass Road travels westward to Donner Lake and Soda Springs. Th is roadway is a vital link for local circulation by providing access to historic Downtown Truckee, public and commercial uses in the Gateway areas such as the Tahoe Forest Hospital, Gateway Commercial Center and several school facilities, as well as Donner Lake State Park and the Donner Lake residential area. Th is roadway provides a single through lane in each direction, with a continuous center left -turn lane along the segment between Levone Avenue and Northwoods Boulevard. 5 | Relationship to Other Plans & Regulatory Documents 5.1 2025 General Plan Th e General Plan is the long term policy guide for the physical and economic growth and environmental protection of the Town of Truckee. Th e Land Use Element (GP Page 2-26) requires preparation of a Specifi c Plan for PC-3 and development to be consistent with this Specifi c Plan. Th is Chapter references many key General Plan policies and designations applicable to Joerger Ranch in describing its relationship with the larger community. Many additional General Plan policies are applicable to Joerger Ranch, each summarized in the General Plan Consistency Matrix (see Appendix A). As a General Plan implementation tool, the Specifi c Plan establishes an important link between the General Plan and development proposals for the Joerger Ranch Plan Area by allowing for further planning and analysis of large, important areas of Town that would not be provided at the General Plan level. Additional planning and analysis is necessary for the Planned Community sites because their proper FIGURE 2-5 TOWN’S GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS 2.13 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 development is vital in accommodating the Town’s future growth while achieving the Town’s vision. Because of the size of the property, its development potential, its strategic location in the southern part of the Town and the need to coordinate development on a site divided by a state highway and major road, the Planned Community designation was applied to the Joerger Ranch property. In addition to providing very general allowed land use and maximum development density (residential) and intensity (non-residential) guidance, the General Plan contains eight policies specifi c to PC-3. Th ese are: Land Uses Allowed: Land uses allowed in this designation are commercial, industrial, and high density residential uses. Density and Intensity: An average FAR of 0.20 shall apply to commercial and industrial development. Residential uses are allowed at a maximum density of twelve housing units per acre. Policies: Th e following policies will guide development of the Specifi c Plan for PC-3. • PC-3 – P1 Development allowed on the site will be a range of commercial, industrial and residential uses. Services for employees, such as day care facilities and food sales, shall be encouraged. • PC-3 – P2 Th e Specifi c Plan shall include design standards to provide for architectural consistency of development on the site, in accordance with the Town of Truckee design guidelines. • PC-3 – P3 Site design shall consider appropriate access to Highway 267, via Brockway Road and Soaring Way, and shall minimize visual impacts from the Highway 267 corridor. • PC-3 – P4 Th e Specifi c Plan shall include standards for the design of retail shopping areas that avoid “strip commercial” site layout, and that FIGURE 2-6 TOWN’S ZONING DESIGNATIONS 2.14 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN are oriented and scaled to the pedestrian realm. • PC-3 – P5 Specifi c Plan design standards shall include requirements for parking areas which promote attractive streetscapes, recognize the need for snow storage and removal, and reduce the visual impacts of large, unscreened parking lots through distributed landscaping, landscaped berms and other measures. Parking shall be provided in accordance with the Town of Truckee Design Guidelines. • PC-3 – P6 Th e Specifi c Plan shall include provisions for supplying, onsite, the required housing for 50 percent of the very-low, low- and moderate-income workforce associated with development of the site. If land use or noise compatibility requirements of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan preclude or reduce the total amount of housing that can be developed on PC-3, required workforce housing may be permitted to be located off -site. • PC-3 – P7 All development on PC-3 shall support community character goals and policies for the Brockway Road Corridor. • PC-3 – P8 Ensure that the mix of land uses in the PC-3 Specifi c Plan will generate an amount of traffi c that, in addition to buildout of the General Plan (considering all planned circulation improvements), would not result in the need for four lanes on Highway 267 between Interstate 80 and the Brockway Road/ Soaring Way intersection. 5.2 Development Code Th e Development Code, known as Title 18 of the Truckee Municipal Code, contains the Town’s zoning, land use and subdivision regulations, representing the majority of the Town’s requirements for the development and use of private and public land. Th e Development Code is supplemented by additional requirements for construction and other aspects of development and land use contained within other Titles of the Truckee Municipal Code. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan relies upon many of the standards and guidelines of the Development Code. Chapter 8 – Development Standards & Design Guidelines of the Plan contains a more specifi c description of the Plan’s relationship with the Development Code, including a description of the Plan’s reliance on existing standards and guidelines and those created specifi cally to suite development in the Plan Area. Figure 2-6 indicates the zoning designations in the vicinity of PC-3. 5.3 Town Trails & Bikeways Master Plan Th e Truckee Trails & Bikeways Master Plan seeks to create a comprehensive system of trails and bikeways to promote both non-motorized alternative transportation and create additional recreation opportunities for the Truckee community and beyond. Although the scope of the Master Plan is limited to the Town’s jurisdictional boundaries, the importance of providing connections to the larger Truckee-North Lake Tahoe is recognized and encouraged for the purpose of creating a seamless regional system. Joerger Ranch provides an opportunity to implement key in-town trails, bikeways and connections to the larger regional trail system. Th e Plan Area is located along State Route 267 and Brockway Road/Soaring Road, providing an opportunity for important connective bikeway links along these highly-traveled public rights-of-way for the benefi t of both the local community and visitors. Th e Plan Area is also located in close proximity to three of the Town’s most-prominent recreational assets – the Truckee River/Legacy Trail, the Riverview Sports Park and the Truckee River Regional Park. Development of Joerger Ranch provides the opportunity to construct these trail connections for benefi t of the community and Joerger Ranch residents and visitors. 2.15 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 5.4 Tahoe Truckee Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and Master Plan COMPATIBILITY PLAN Th e Truckee Tahoe Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (CLUP) was adopted in 1986 and revised in 1990 and 2004 by the Foothill Airport Land Use Commission (FALUC). Under State Law, the FALUC must approve “the adoption or approval of any amendment to a general or specifi c plan aff ecting the property within an airport infl uence area.” Th e policies of the CLUP aim to promote land use compatibility with the Truckee Tahoe Airport, focused on four potential concerns — aircraft noise, land use safety (both people on the ground and occupants of aircraft ), protection of airport airspace and general concerns related to aircraft over fl ights. Th e CLUP imposes a separate and independent set of policies and restrictions on lands surrounding the airport than that of the local land use authority(s). Th e area surrounding the Truckee Tahoe Airport is divided into diff erent zones, each FIGURE 2-7 TOWN’S TRAIL AND BIKEWAY NETWORK FIGURE 2-8 AIRPORT’S COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN 2.16 C HAPTER 2 |COMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN containing corresponding regulations for density, open space, height and land use. Generally there is close relationship between the proximity of the land area to the airport and the degree of restriction imposed upon land uses under the CLUP. Th e Joerger Ranch Plan Area is primarily located with Compatibility Zone B-1 (Inner Approach/ Departure) and Zone D (Primary Traffi c Patterns). A small, approximately 8-acre portion of the northwest corner of the Plan Area is located within Zone B-2 (Adjacent to Runway). While the policies and concept plans contained within this Specifi c Plan have been developed to be consistent with each of these respective Compatibility Zones, it will be necessary to closely evaluate and insure consistency with the CLUP for this Specifi c Plan and future development proposals implementing the Specifi c Plan. MASTER PLAN Th e Truckee Tahoe Airport Master Plan was adopted in November 1998 by the Tahoe Truckee Airport District Board of Directors. Th e Airport Master Plan contains a forecast of aviation demand and facility needs for the airport through the year 2020. Th ese forecasts were utilized to identify development alternatives which, in turn, were refi ned into a single master plan concept representing the recommended direction for future use and development of lands owned by the Truckee Tahoe Airport District. Th e Airport Layout Drawing (Sheet 1 of 9) contained within the 1998 Airport Master Plan was last updated in late 2005. Th is update included the identifi cation of non-aviation use lands, largely following the land areas similarly-designated as “available for alternative land use” within the On-Airport Land Use Drawing (Sheet 8 of 9) of the 1998 Airport Master Plan. Th is is relevant in that the majority of these non-aviation use designated lands abut the Joerger Ranch Plan Area to the north and east and all are currently undeveloped. Although the Airport Master Plan does not specifi cally defi ne appropriate or envisioned uses for these non-aviation use lands, the ultimate development pattern of Joerger Ranch will infl uence and guide their future development as a matter of compatibility and character, particularly along Soaring Way and the signifi cant changes proposed for this roadway under this Specifi c Plan. 5.5 Martis Valley Community Plan (MVCP) Th e relationship of the Martis Valley and the Martis Valley Community Plan (MVCP) to Joerger Ranch has been described, in part, in Section 2 of this Chapter. Th e MVCP designates the lands adjacent to the southerly Town boundary (and adjacent to the Joerger Ranch Plan Area) as General Commercial, a designation also applied to lands in and around the Truckee Tahoe Airport, and to existing commercially-used lands on the north side of State Route 267 terminating near the intersection FIGURE 2-9 AIRPORT’S MASTER PLAN 2.17 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN C OMMUNITY & REGIONAL CONTEXT | C HAPTER 2 of Truckee Airport Road. A small area of land south of State Route 267 has been given the Professional Offi ce designation within the MVCP. An Open Space land use designation is applied to the remaining lands along State Route 267 within the Martis Valley. Th e MVCP does not have regulatory authority over the Joerger Ranch Plan Area, however it does provide contextual information for the Plan Area. 5.6 Placer & Nevada County General Plans Although the MVCP is the primary policy document for Placer County in the Martis Valley, it is a component of the broader Placer County General Plan adopted in 1994. Like the MVCP, the Placer County General Plan recognizes Placer County’s close relationship with Truckee and encourages coordination and communication between the Town of Truckee and Placer County for all land use and infrastructure improvements. Although the Placer County General Plan does not maintain regulatory authority over the Joerger Ranch Plan Area, the Town of Truckee and Placer County maintain a cooperative working relationship. While the MVCP addresses specifi c community concerns and issues in the Martis Valley, it does not supersede the Placer County General Plan. Th e Nevada County General Plan was adopted in 1995. Similar to Placer County’s relationship with the Town of Truckee, the Nevada County General Plan has no regulatory authority over the Plan Area, but the county and town also maintain a cooperative working relationship. Because the lands of Nevada County covered under this General Plan maintain little connectivity and/or adjacency with the Joerger Ranch Plan Area due to the location of the Tahoe Truckee Airport, the Nevada County General Plan has little relationship with the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. Th e exception is the area on the north side of Soaring Way to the east of the Plan Area with an IND (Industrial) land use designation and a small area north of the Plan Area on either side of State Route 267 with a CC (Community Commercial) land use designation. Both of these areas are within the ownership boundaries of the Tahoe Truckee Airport. Th e remaining airport land area is designated by the Nevada County General Plan as PUB (Public). FIGURE 2-10 MARTIS VALLEY COMMUNITY PLAN Chapter 3 Land Use Standards & Guidelines 3.2 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan To successfully implement General Plan principles of fostering and strengthening a balanced economy, this Specifi c Plan focuses on attracting and retaining businesses and commercial activities that build upon and enhance Truckee’s unique character and natural environment. Th e purpose of this plan is to provide a comprehensive land use plan that guides future development of the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan area, consistent with the following Goals, Policies and Standards: GOAL 1 Develop the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan area with land uses that promote high-quality economic development. • Policy1.a Strengthen Truckee’s economic base through encouraging green industry, lifestyle businesses, and other commercial, offi ce, manufacturing, and cultural uses that do not fi t Downtown. • Policy 1.b Encourage relocation of industrial and manufacturing uses from the Truckee River Corridor to the Manufacturing (M) zoning district. • Policy 1.c Promote corporate and business park development geared to employment generating light industrial, research and development, and complementary uses in the “Business Innovation Zone.” (aka green industry cluster, eco-business park, eco- industrial park, green industrial park) • Policy 1.d Work with the developer to encourage construction of a grocery store, if feasible, in the initial phase of build-out of the “General Commercial Regional” zone. • Policy 1.e Projects with a minimum of 75% LEED™ for New Construction Silver buildings or better shall be refunded Planning Division land use processing fees upon proof of certifi cation. • Policy 1.f Promote the plan area’s proximity to the Truckee Tahoe Airport to attract compatible uses.

GOAL 4 Provide a coordinated pedestrian and bicycle network to encourage non-motorized travel from surrounding neighborhoods and within the Joerger Ranch Plan Area. • Policy 4.a Require the construction of a minimum 8-foot wide Class I bike path along all primary roads within the Joerger Ranch Plan area. • Policy 4.b Support pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the Truckee River Legacy Trail, Riverview Sports Park and Regional Park. • Policy 4.c Encourage connectivity between projects where necessary to further other goals, policies, and guidelines. 3.4 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan This chapter includes the regulatory plan, allowable land uses, development standards, and design guidelines for each zoning district within the PC-3 plan area. Unless otherwise stated, these regulations supersede Development Code regulations. TARGETED LAND USES Targeted Land Uses are those that are considered “preferred” or “highly desirable”. Land uses within this category are identifi ed as those that cannot be easily accomodated in other established or planned commercial areas within Town or signifi cantly contribute to the character of the district. A variety of potential “Land Uses” are listed in Table 1.1a to provide fl exiblity for future development, however, “Targeted Land Uses “ are preferred uses. A Development Permit for Targeted Land Uses is only required for projects greater than 15,000 s.f. of gross fl oor area. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Development Standards are mandatory and provide the minimum necessary land use regulations. DESIGN GUIDELINES Design Guidelines are intended as a guide to assist property owners and project designers in understanding the Town’s goals for attaining high quality development. Guidelines are strongly encouraged, but are not required. Th e review authority may interpret these design guidelines with some fl exibility in the application to specifi c projects, as not all design criteria may be workable/ appropriate for each project. In some circumstances, one guideline may be relaxed to facilitate compliance with another guideline determined by the review authority to be more important in the particular case. Th e overall objective is to ensure that the intent and spirit of the design guidelines are followed. LANDSCAPE STANDARDS & DESIGN GUIDELINES For Landscape Standards & Design Guidelines, refer toTown of Truckee Development Code, Section 18.42). Th e review authority may interpret these design guidelines with some fl exibility in the application to specifi c projects, as not all design criteria may be workable/appropriate for each project. In some circumstances, one guideline may be relaxed to facilitate compliance with another guideline determined by the review authority to be more important in the particular case. Th e overall objective is to ensure that the intent and spirit of the design guidelines are followed. 3.5 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 Purpose Commercial zoning within the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan area is applied to areas appropriate for both local and regional-serving uses including offi ce park, targeted retail sales, and uses not easily accomodated in other established commercial-zoned areas. Th ree new districts have been established to assist in regulating development: • CL - Lifestyle Commercial • CR - Regional Commercial • CRS - Regional Support Commercial CG Development Standards CG-1: Loading facilities shall be located at the rear of buildings and screened from any public rights-of-way with fencing and/or landscaping. CG-2: Any land established prior to the date of the adoption of this Specifi c Plan and located in the River Protection (-RP) zoning district shall be considered a Targeted land use. CG-3: Removal of trees greater than 12-inches in diameter within 200-feet of the Highway 267 right-of- way boundary shall require Use Permit approval. Th e review authority may approve tree removal for fuel clearance with Zoning Clearance approval. CG-4: Parking lots with 50 or more parking spaces shall be divided into separate areas by landscaping or walkways at least ten feet in width, or by a building or group of buildings. CG-5: Protected raised walkways shall be installed through parking areas of 50 or more parking spaces or more than 100 feet in average width or depth. CG-6: Th e construction and operation of solid waste & recyclable materials storage areas shall comply with Development Code Section 18.30.150 (Solid Waste / Recyclable Materials Storage). CG Design Guidelines CG-G1: A variety of building sizes, heights, and orientation should be provided. Consideration should be given to adjacent on- and off -site development to esure that there are physical and visual connections between adjacent building and projects. Pedestrian Access and Circulation CG-G2: Site designs should provide pedestrian access from the public street(s) to the main entrance of each building. Section 1.1 – General Commercial (CG) Zoning Districts 3.6 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan CG-G3: Separated sidewalks are preferred within parking lots. CG-G4: Each building should have a clearly defi ned pedestrian access route connecting adjacent buildings throughout the project. Plazas and Paving CG-G5: Buildings should be arranged to create “outdoor rooms” or plazas. Th e location and purpose of plazas should be carefully considered to ensure they are functional. CG-G6: Exterior spaces should provide shade during the summer and protection from wind, rain and snow in the winter. North-facing plazas are discouraged. CG-G7: Special attention should be made to hardscape, including color, pattern, durability and function. CG-G8: Permeable or interlocking pavers are preferred in heavily traveled pedestrian areas such as primary walkways and plazas. 1. Plazas & paving patterns should promote places where people can gather. Plazas are encouraged in areas between buildings. Architectural Design CG-G9: Buildings should be designed so that they may be adapted to a variety of uses and tenants throughout the life of the building. CG-G10: Development should incorporate mature trees to the extent feasible. CG-G11: Imaginative use of traditional or contempoary styles that suggest without directly copying a style form Truckee’s past is encouraged. CG-G12: Building heights should relate to plazas and gathering areas, allowing for maximum sun and ventilation, protection from the elements and enhanced views of surrounding natural features. CG-G13: Building materials, forms and details should refl ect Truckee’s small town mountain character. Forms and Massing CG-G14: Where feasible, buildings within the CG Zoning District should be designed to incorporate a combination of 1- and 2-story massing, anchored by vertical elements with interesting roof lines. CG-G15: All building elevations should be articulated with details and elements from the primary façade. Blank, unarticulated building façades should be avoided. Scale Buildings greater than 5,000 s.f. should incorporate the following: CG-G16: Vary the building heights along a street to achieve more visual interest and distinct building character, avoiding the monotony of coninuous building height. CG-G17: Combine horizonal and vertical elements An example of a building that incorporates 1- and 2-story massing to create interesting roof lines. 3.7 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 to provide variation, interest and rhythm within and among buildings. CG-G18: Articulate the diff erent parts of a building’s façade, arrangement of façade elements and/or a change in materials. CG-G19: Break up large, dominating buildings by using awnings, eaves, windows or other architectural ornamentation as well as combinations of complementary colors. CG-G20: Commercial uses should have fi rst-fl oor ceiling heights of 15 - 20 feet. Entries CG-G21: Building frontages should have inviting entries that create a welcoming atmosphere. Entries should be prominently placed for easy access from the public right-of-way. CG-G22: Design buildings on corner lots with two front entries facing each public right-of-way. Careful consideration should be provided for elevations that face Highway 267. Building Materials CG-G23: All building materials should be durable and of high quality such as: a. STONE Stone such as weathered granite, basaltic rock, or natural stone should be used to tie buildings to their sites and may also be used to express structural mass in walls and chimneys. Stone walls should strive to appear load-bearing, as opposed to a thin veneer. b. BRICK Brick is functional and creates texture. c. CONCRETE WALLS Concrete walls can be functionally durable and attractive. Formed, fl uted details and staining can provide an aesthetically rustic look for exterior walls; board-form concrete is encouraged. d. WOOD BOARD AND BATTEN Vertical board and batten, as well as reversed wide battens over boards or rough sawn plywood with batten may be used in various sizes and widths. e. WOOD SIDING Various sizes and profi les of wood siding may be used in horizontal or vertical patterns. Stain, semi-transparent stain and painted wood are appropriate. f. METAL SIDING Metal siding when applied appropriately can be a good alternative to wood siding. When used, metal siding should be allowed to naturally weather and blend with the subtle earth tones of the site (i.e. corten steel and similar metals). g. ORNAMENTAL AND STRUCTURAL STEEL Steel materials may be used as accent elements to reinforce the structural expression and craft ed nature of the building. Appropriate uses include exposed structural numbers, metal banding at column bases, steel cross-ties and steel Inviting entiries with easy access are encouraged. 3.8 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan connectors at timber connections. Windows CG-G24: Glass shall be clear and have low refl ectance but a high performing coating, such as “low E”. CG-G25: Aluminum storefront windows are encouraged for retail spaces. Roofs CG-G26: Roofs should be designed to adequately address snow shedding, and include details such as ventilation, insulation, gutters, etc. Th e roof design should avoid confl icts with drainage and safety issues and landscaping. CG-G27: Mechanical equipment should be integrated within the roof design and not visible from the roadway. Gutters and Downspouts CG-G28: While the overall design and strategic placement of roof forms shall be the primary way of managing water run-off and snow melt, additional gutters and downspouts may also be needed for proper drainage and safety. Th ese devices can be used eff ectively to divert water away from entries. CG-G29: Gutters, downspouts, splitters and fl ashing should be fabricated from metal and coating should be applied that relates to or matches the primary or secondary roof color. Colors CG-G30: Building colors should be drawn from the natural, surrounding environment. CG-G31: While subdued colors usually work best as a dominant/overall color, a brighter color might be appropriate, if it can be shown to enhance the architecture. CG-G32: Minimize the number of colors appearing on a single building exterior. CG-G33: Accent colors for trim shall be limited in number and used sparingly. Accent colors on adjacent buildings should be chosen to complement one another. Exterior Equipment CG-G34: All exterior mechanical, electrical and other utility equipment (such as metering devices, transformers, gas meters and satellite dishes) shall be substantially screened from public view and adjacent buildings. Wall-mounted utilities shall be screened using landscaping and/or material similar to the exterior walls, with exposure only as required by utility companies for meter reading. Photovoltaic Panels and Shingles CG-G35: Photovoltaic panels, shingles and other solar devices may be allowed on roofs if incorporated as part of the roof or roof form. 3.9 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 Table 1.1A identifi es the uses of land allowed by this Specifi c Plan in the commercial zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use.

CG-G5: Provide a paved trail within the Open Space that fronts State Highway 267 that connects the Lodging use to the sidewalk along Soaring Way. CG-G6: Incorporate the existing trees along State Highway 267 into the parking area landscape design, where feasible, to form a buff er zone that allows for fi ltered views from the roadway to the Center. Screened Parking w/Native Vegetation Pedestrian Friendly Architecture 3.17 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 CRS - Regional Support Commercial Purpose Th e CRS or “regional support” district is applied to approximately six acres surrounding the Soaring Way / Joerger Drive intersection appropriate for local- and regional-serving retail and service uses that benefi t from a highway/Downtown gateway location including recreational vehicle sales, casual dining restaurants, and other retail and service businesses that cannot be easily accomodated downtown. Th is district supports the CR district by creating additional opportunity for regional service and retail uses. Target Uses Targeted businesses include those that benefi t from association with the Town’s image as a small historic mountain town - such as casual dining restaurants, outdoor gear industry, health & fi tness, and businesses promoting conservation or sustainability. • Outdoor recreational equipment sales / rentals • Bike sales and rentals • Health / Fitness facilities • Casual dining restaurants • Recreational vehicle sales CRS Development Standards CRS-1: Parking lots shall be prohibitied within 100-feet of the State Highway 267 right-of-way boundary. CRS-2: Parking lots located within 300-feet of the State Highway 267 right-of-way boundary shall provide screening equivalent to two trees and four shrubs for every fi ve parking stalls. Where the review authority determines that the parking is suffi ciently screened by buildings, this requirement may be lessened. CRS Design Guidelines CRS-G1: Building orientation should be considered with respect to views from both State Highway 267 and Soaring Way. CRS-G2: Approximately 35% of the fi rst fl oor building facade facing Soaring Way and/or State Highway 267 should consist of windows and doors. CRS-G3: Buildings in the CRS zone should be sited with the main entrance facing Soaring Way and should provide minimum store front sidewalk of 6 feet. Covered walkways are encouraged. CRS-G4: Buildings in the CRS zone are highly 3.18 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan visible from State Highway 267 and should provide interesting architectural detail on all sides. Roof line variation and building mass variation among buildings are a primary focus in this location. Outdoor Recreation Businesses such as ski rentals and bike rentals are targeted land uses within the CRS Zone Example of Casual Dining Restaurant 3.19 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 Purpose Th e intent of M Zoning District in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan is to create zoning that can attract new manufacturing / industrial businesses and provide opportunities for existing local businesses to expand or relocate. Th e Goal of the M District is to promote economic diversifi cation and land use opportunities that can strengthen Truckee’s economic base by encouraging growth in green industry, manufacturing, research and development, high tech industry, and processing & distribution. Th e M District also is intended to encourage relocation of industrial and manufacturing uses from the Truckee River Corridor. Th e M District within the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan is divided into two sub-zones to better promote the District’s purpose: “Business Innovation Zone” (BIZ) for the land area west of State Highway 267 and “Manufacturing/ Industrial” (M1) for that land area east of State Highway 267. Th e BIZ zoning is designed to attract businesses that provide Research and Development, production of local products (custom wood furniture, specialty food/spirit products), green construction design and material production and other similar uses. Th e M1 zoning includes area east of State Highway 267 and is intended to attract a variety of business uses that can service the employment and recreational needs of the area such as vehicle/recreational dealerships, warehousing space, specialty food production, light manufacturing, and indoor fi tness centers & training facilities . Section 1.2 – Manufacturing/Industrial (M) Zoning Districts 3.20 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan M Development Standards M-1: All building elevations shall be articulated with details and elemetns from the primary facade. No blank, unarticulated building facades are permitted. M-2: Loading and service areas for delivery of merchandise should be situated away from storefronts and pedestrian areas and screened from State Highway 267 and shall be in accordance with Chapter 18.48 (Parking and Loading Standards) of the Development Code. M-3: Th e construction and operation of solid waste & recyclable materials storage areas shall comply with Development Code Section 18.30.150 (Solid Waste / Recyclable Materials Storage). Refuse containers shall be placed within “bear-resistant” enclosures designed to be compatible with the project. M-4: Mechanical equipment shall be integrated within the roof design and not visible from the roadway. M Design Guidelines M-G1: Buildings should be clustered to utilize a common entry road to the greatest extent feasible. M-G2: Service areas at the rear of buildings should be consolidated, where feasible, in order to minimize pedestrian confl icts. M-G3: Outdoor storage areas will be limited when incompatible with the uses and design of the business park atmosphere. M-G4: Green Building practices are encouraged. Construction of the buildings and related infrastructure should promote healthy energy- and resource-effi cient building practices. See Section 3.8 for more specifi cs. M-G5: Preserve where feasible, existing mature trees. M-G6: Buildings should be designed to accomodate changes in uses and tenants over time. M-G7: Buildings should be located to provide maximum solar orientation. Pedestrian Access and Circulation M-G8: Each building shall have a clearly defi ned access route connecting it to adjacent buildings throughout the project. M-G9: Pedestrian areas should be located in proximity to land uses with outdoor activity or dining areas. Plazas and Paving M-G10: Exterior spaces should provide shade during the summer and protection from wind, rain and snow in the winter. Architectural Design M-G11: Building materials, forms and details should create a relationship with the surrounding area and refl ect Truckee’s small town mountain character. M-G12: Th e buildings should incorporate a combina- tion of 1- and 2-story massing, anchored by vertical elements with a variety of roof forms. M-G13: Special architectural attention should be placed on exterior building elevations that front on State Highway 267. M-G14: Building materials and simple building forms that refl ect Truckee’s railroad and sawmill history are encouraged. Materials that appear weathered over time are appropriate such as rough saw wooden siding, scoured concrete, and corrugated metal (See M-G23 for additional appropriate materials). Scale Large, bulky buildings should be enhanced through one or more of the following methods: M-G15: Vary the planes of exterior walls in depth and/ or direction. M-G16: Vary the height of the buildings so they ap- pear to be divided into distinct massing elements. M-G17: Articulate the diff erent parts of a building’s 3.21 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 façade through the use of color, the arrangement of façade elements and/or a change in materials. M-G18: Break up large, dominating buildings with landscape materials, awnings, eaves, windows or other architectural ornamentation along with combi- nations of complementary colors. M-G19: Use architectural detailing at the ground level to lessen the impact of an otherwise bulky build- ing. Entries M-G20: Encourage entryways that provide a transi- tion from public to private and indoor to outdoor, at the main entrance to each building. M-G21: Buildings on corner lots should be designed with two front entries facing the public rights-of-way. M-G22: Access to second-story space should be provided by a stair entry located through a separate entrance. Building Materials M-G23: All building materials should be durable and of high quality such as: a. STONE Stone such as weathered granite, basaltic rock, or natural stone should be used to tie buildings to their sites and may also be used to express structural mass in walls and chimneys. Stone walls should strive to appear load-bearing, as opposed to a thin veneer. b. BRICK Brick is functional and creates texture. c. CONCRETE WALLS Concrete walls can be functionally durable and attractive. Formed, fl uted details and staining can provide an aesthetically rustic look for exterior walls; board-form concrete is encouraged. d. WOOD BOARD AND BATTEN Vertical board and batten, as well as reversed wide battens over boards or rough sawn plywood with batten may be used in various sizes and widths. e. WOOD SIDING Various sizes and profi les of wood siding may be used in horizontal or vertical patterns. Stain, semi-transparent stain and painted wood are appropriate. f. METAL SIDING Metal siding when applied appropriately can be a good alternative to wood siding. When used, metal siding should be allowed to naturally weather and blend with the subtle earth tones of the site (i.e. corten steel and similar metals). g. ORNAMENTAL AND STRUCTURAL STEEL Steel materials may be used as accent elements to reinforce the structural expression and craft ed nature of the building. Appropriate uses include exposed structural numbers, metal banding at column bases, steel cross-ties and steel connectors at timber connections. Doors and Windows M-G24: Bay doors should be designed to be compatible with the architectural character of the building. M-G25: Glass should be clear and have low refl ectance with a high performing coating, such as “low E”. M-G26: Aluminum storefront windows may be used 3.22 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan but should be painted, not galvanized. Colors should be compatible with the surrounding materials and warm in tone or black. Roofs M-G27: Roofs should be designed to consider snow shedding, and include details such as ventilation, insulation, gutters, etc. Th e roof design should also avoid confl icts with drainage and safety issues and landscaping. M-G28: Roof overhangs shall be used to shade large glass areas and avoid refl ective glare. Colored and refl ective glass is discouraged. Gutters and Downspouts M-G29: Gutters and downspouts should be designed to eff ectively divert water away from entries. M-G30: Gutters, downspouts, splitters and fl ashing should be fabricated from metal and coating should be applied that relates to or matches the primary or secondary roof color. Colors M-G31: Color guidelines within the M Zoning District(s) are identical to those listed in the CG Zoning District (See CG-G30 through CG-G33). Exterior Equipment M-G32: All exterior mechanical, electrical and other utility equipment, such as metering devices, transformers, gas meters and satellite dishes, should be substantially screened from public view and adjacent homes. Wall-mounted utilities shall be screened using landscaping or material similar to the exterior walls, with exposure only as required by utility companies for meter reading. Photovoltaic Panels and Shingles M-G33: Photovoltaic panels and shingles may be placed on roofs if incorporated as part of the roof or the roof form. Mixed Use Th e (M) Zoning District allows for certain mixed-uses such as live/work loft s, and attached and detached work force housing units. M-G34: Th e intent of the Design Guidelines for mixed- use projects is to ensure quality and integrated uses through: 1. Variety in massing, detail and color to create diverse building forms. 2. Consideration of noise. 3.23 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 Table 1.2A identifi es the uses of land allowed by this Specifi c Plan in the manufacturing districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use.

BIZ-2: Outdoor lighting shall be limited to the minimum necessary and shall shielded downard to avoid light spill. BIZ Design Guidelines In addition to the M Design Guidelines, the following guidelines should be considered for development within the BIZ district: Example of Manufacturing Architecture 3.30 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan BIZ-G1: Create a “campus style” Business Center atmosphere that promotes innovation and fl exibility by allowing simple building forms that host large use areas or a combination of diff erent uses to allow upstart business and/or larger area uses. BIZ-G2: Separate “campus” buildings should be connected with walkways and plazas for the purpose of creating an environment conducive for exchange of business ideas and shared amenities. BIZ-G3: Existing trees in the northern area of the M-BIZ zoning designation should be preserved where feasible to buff er the BIZ use from the Residential area to the east. Examples of Research & Development Architecture 3.31 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 Purpose Th e Residential Multi-family (RM) Zoning District is intended to provide housing opportunities in close proximity, for both employees and employers of the various commercial and industrial land uses allowed in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. While not restricted to workforce / inclusionary housing for PC-3, this is one of the goals of this district and as such, smaller unit sizes are encouraged. Th e RM zone is located on the west side of proposed Martis Drive and will provide high density attached and detached housing for PC-3. Th e proximity of the Ponderosa Golf Course provides a unique opportunity for high density housing next to recreational golf, including a variety of housing types such as small lot cottages, cohousing, mixed use offi ce and residential, and senior housing . Target Uses • Attached Townhouse and Condominiums • Garden Apartments • Detached Cottage Clusters • Cohousing Th e photos included in this section identify general ideas and should not be viewed as design solutions for specifi c building applications, but rather examples of appropriate styles. Non-residential land uses within the RM-F zoning district shall follow the development standards and design guidelines within the CL zoning district. RM Development Standards Development Standards for development within the RM Zoning District of PC-3 shall be in accordance with the standards within the Town of Truckee Development Code, Chapter 18. Section 1.3 – Residential Multi-Family (RM) Zoning District 3.32 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan RM Design Guidelines RM-G1: Building locations should be sited to avoid existing trees where feasible. RM-G2: Housing and outdoor activity should be sited with consideration given to golf “safety zones” along the Ponderosa Golf course. RM-G3: Buildings should be designed to respond to the unique characteristics of each site. Th is includes, but is not limited to existing trees, vegetation, topography, natural drainage patterns, views and sun orientation for solar gains. Architectural Design RM-G4: Although there is no particular “style” proposed for multi-family residences in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan, the intent is to create a high-quality residential environment which is responsive to Truckee’s small town mountain character. As such, projects within the RM zoning district should include the following architectural design elements: • Richness of surface and texture through the use of high quality materials & architecture • Wall articulation (e.g., insets, canopies, wing walls, dormers, etc.) • Roof overhangs with regulated window rhythm RM-G5: Trail and walkway systems should connect the multi-family housing units to the overall trail sys- tem and commercial/retail areas within PC-3. RM-G6: Optimize views from each of the units. RM-G7: Use overhangs, secondary forms (e.g., bay windows, porches, balconies, trellises, patios and low walls), decorative window treatments and similar features to provide additional visual interest. Natural earth tone colors and wood stains are encouraged. RM-G8: Architectural design should consider energy effi ciency, such as natural heating and/or cooling, sun and wind exposure and solar energy opportunities. RM-G9: Building entrances should be distinctive and easily identifi able. Example of High Density Condominiums / Townhomes Architecture Cohousing Attached Townhouses Detached Cottage Clusters 3.33 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 FORMS AND MASSING RM-G10: Building masses should be in scale with the surrounding landscape, with clustered building forms fi tted to the topography and natural surroundings. Buildings should include a mixture of 2- and 3-stories. RM-G11: Th e overall form and massing for the multi-family housing is based on combining one or more central forms of simple geometry with added secondary elements. Th e goal is to create visual interest without being overly complex. RM-G12: Long, unbroken building façades and simple box forms should be avoided. Building façades should be broken up to give the appearance of a collection of smaller buildings through the use of balconies, setbacks and projections to help articulate individual units (or collections of units) and through the pattern and rhythm of windows and doors. SCALE RM-G13: Development in the RM zone should consider the existing topography in order to bring a sense of scale to each project. RM-G14: Reduce building scale through window patterns, structural bays, roof overhangs, porches, awnings, moldings, fi xtures, details and landscaping. PORCHES AND ENTRY IDENTITY RM-G15: Th e design of porches, in terms of column and railing detail, confi guration and color, can provide a great deal of expression. Variety is encouraged. RM-G16: Porches, colonnades and patios for climate control and/or outdoor living and circulation are encouraged. GARAGES AND PARKING RM-G17: Discourage garage doors fronting directly onto the adjacent streets. RM-G18: Garages should most commonly be placed below the main living quarters and should be off set to allow for diversity. Porches, entryways and other secondary components can be used eff ectively to lessen the visual impact of the garage doors from the street. RM-G19: Recessed garages should be used to de- emphasize the massing of garages. RM-G20: Special paving at parking court entries and landscape nodes between parking stalls should be considered to soft en the streetscape. RM-G21: Th e number of required parking spaces shall be provided consistent with the Town of Truckee Development Code. BUILDING MATERIALS RM-G22: Th e following wall types may be considered for buildings: a. STONE Stone such as weathered granite, basaltic rock, or natural stone should be used to tie buildings to their sites and may also be used to express structural mass in walls and chimneys. Stone walls should strive to appear load-bearing, as opposed to a thin veneer. b. BRICK Brick is functional and creates texture. c. WOOD BOARD AND BATTEN Vertical board and batten, as well as reversed wide battens over boards or rough sawn plywood with batten may be used in various sizes and widths. d. WOOD SIDING Various sizes and profi les of wood siding may be used in horizontal or vertical patterns. Stain, semi-transparent stain and painted wood are appropriate. WINDOWS AND DOORS RM-G23: Exterior doors at the front entries should be designed to create an individual identity for each unit, while being compatible and harmonious with 3.34 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan the architectural character. RM-G24: When possible, single car garage doors should be used. Th e garage door design should be compatible with the exterior materials of the surrounding wall area. RM-G25: Bay windows and a variety of window types should be incorporated into the design of the multi- family housing units. ROOFS RM-G26: Overall, roofs should convey and establish scale and interest through a successful composition of varied pitches and forms. RM-G27: Roof overhangs should be used, where appropriate, to shade large glass areas and avoid refl ective glare. RM-G28: Major roofs should have varying pitches of 3:12 to a maximum pitch of 14:12. Secondary roofs over building components, such as porches and dormers may be considered. RM-G29: Roof forms should be designed for snow shedding. Th e roof plan should be designed in unison with the site and landscape plans to avoid confl icts with drainage and safety. RM-G30: Th e technical design of roofs, such as detailing for ventilation, insulation, gutters and similar uses, should be considered to make them blend into the background. RM-G31: Dormers should be placed with both functional and aesthetic elements in mind. Th e placement, shape and size of dormers should relate in the scale and proportion to the primary structure. RM-G32: Attached housing units should provide varying roof ridgelines and avoid repetitive architecture to the extent feasible. RM-G33: Th e design of roof types for multi-family structures should be formulated to allow for the following roof types and techniques: a. Gable, shed and hip roofs b. Combining roof types c. Creating articulation in ridgeline plane d. Varying plate heights and ridge heights e. Changing roof levels and ground planes to break up the mass and bulk of buildings GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS RM-G34: Th e overall design and strategic placement of roof forms are the primary means of eff ectively managing snow melt / snowshed. RM-G35: Gutters, downspouts and fl ashing should be fabricated from steel and colored to blend with the overall color scheme of the individual units. RM-G36: Flashing, gutters and downspouts should be minimized in their appearance. COLORS AND TRIM RM-G37: Siding and timbers should be treated or stained in semi-transparent fi nishes to enhance the 3.35 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 natural colors and qualities of the wood. RM-G38: Use earth tones to be compatible with the natural setting. Exterior colors should appear natural and blend into the surrounding landscape. RM-G39: Details and trim should be used to establish individual identity and interest in each unit. Wood and vinyl are the preferred materials for trim and window frames. RM-G40: Colors for pre-fi nished window frames, mullions and divided lights should be complementary colors found naturally on-site, such as pine and sage green, reddish-browns, tans and similar type colors. CHIMNEYS, FLUES AND ROOF VENTS RM-G41: Chimneys may be incorporated into the design of the multi-family housing units. RM-G42: Large fl ues and vents should be consolidated when feasible and enclosed within a chimney-type enclosure. Small, exposed fl ues, such as plumbing vents, shall be painted to match the adjacent roof. RM-G43: All roof projections including, but not limited to, fl ues and vents, should be compatible in height and material with the structure from which they project. All projections and safety features shall comply with the California Uniform Building Code (UBC) and Town of Truckee requirements. TRASH ENCLOSURES RM-G44: All trash, including recycling, shall be stored in an enclosure integrated into the site and have accessibility for sanitation pickup. EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT RM-G45: All exterior mechanical, electrical and other utility equipment, such as metering devices, transformers, gas meters and satellite dishes, shall be substantially screened from public view and adjacent structures. Wall-mounted utilities should be enclosed. FENCES & WALLS RM-G46: In order to maintain the visual quality of an open and natural andscape, fences and walls within the multi-family housing areas should be minimized, except to enclose private spaces for individual units. Fences and/or walls designed to enclose private spaces should not exceed 6 feet in height. RM-G47: Fences and/or walls should not be used to defi ne or enclose property boundaries. 3.36 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan Permitted Land Uses Table 1.2A identifi es the uses of land allowed by this Specifi c Plan in the manufacturing districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use.

Th e objective of Green Design is to eliminate or reduce negative environmental impact through skillful, sensitive design, including use of resources that are renewable, thereby reducing environmental impacts and ensuring that resources are available for future generations. Green Design concepts are encouraged to be applied to all site plan, building, drainage and landscape designs used within each zoning district in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. Incorporating “green” building concepts into project designs provides the following benefi ts: 1. Conserves natural resources 2. Reduces automobile dependance 3. Reduces utility costs 4. Improves air and water quality 5. Contributes to overall “quality of life” 6. Reduces solid waste 7. Enhances comfort and health 8. Optimizes lifecycle economic performance 9. Minimizes strain on local infrastructure Green Design Principles 1. BICYCLING – Promote bicycling and transportation effi ciency by linking development to the Truckee trail system. Non-residential and multi-family residential buildings shall provide secure bicycle parking spaces or storage for at least 5% of the parking space capacity provided for automobiles. 2. OPEN COMMUNITY – Design all streets and sidewalks in the Plan area to be available and easily accessible for general, public use and not gated. 3. WALKABLE STREETS – Provide appealing, safe and comfortable streets and outdoor spaces in order to promote pedestrian activity. All projects should incorporate the following features to the extent feasible: a. A principal, functional entry on each building that has a front façade facing the street, plaza or public space. b. Continuous sidewalks or equivalent provisions for walking along both sides of all streets within the project. 4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS – In January, 2010, California adopted new energy effi ciency standards for all building permits. All buildings within Joerger Ranch are required to meet or exceed those standardswhich require all new construction to reduce energy use through the use of energy effi cient equipment and appliances. Some energy saving concepts for consideration are discussed under “Power Consumption”. 5. REDUCED WATER USE – Minimizing water use in buildings is encouraged through the use of “low-fl ow” appliances and toilets. Landscaping that requires less water and/or does not require permanent irrigation systems is also encouraged, thereby further reducing the impact to natural water resources and the Section 2.5 – Green Building Design Concepts 3.40 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan burden on local serving utilities for water supply and wastewater systems. 6. SOLAR ORIENTATION – Achieve enhanced energy effi ciency by creating optimum conditions for the use of passive and active solar strategies. When possible, the longer axis of the building should be oriented east/west so that the longer dimension of the building is facing within 15 degress of true south. Proper placing of windows can cut the building’s total energy use by 30 - 40 percent at no extra cost. Spaces such as garages, storage or laundry rooms can be situated on the building’s east/west facing “short side” where they act as an additional thermal (or heat) buff er. 7. LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTION – Minimize light trespass from the site, reduce sky-glow to increase night sky access, improve nighttime visibility through glare reduction and reduce development impacts on nocturnal environments. 8. REUSE & RECYCLING – Where possible, recycle and/ or salvage for reuse non-hazardous construction debris. Use recycled content, where possible, for construction materials such as paving, road base and plastic pipe materials. 9. MINIMIZE SITE DISTURBANCE – Conserve existing natural areas, existing vegetation and trees to protect habitate and promote biodiversity. Reduce impervious surface area and associated impacts by use of pervious pavement, pavers and low impact development (LID) stormwater facilities, where feasible.Power Consumption Power Consumption Incorporating the following energy-saving concepts into building designs will reduce energy consumption and increase personal comfort. Th ese concepts are not mandatory but are encouraged: 1. NATURAL COOLING – Any combination of natural cooling techniques should be used to reduce overheating buildings. Deep window overhangs and/or trellises, primarily on south and west facing glass, provides a balance between summer cooling and winter heating through solar gain. Where feasible, deciduous trees should be located to shade west facing windows. Natural cooling reduces the need for air conditioning, saves money on energy bills and utilizes “fresh air” to make buildings more comfortable. 2. PASSIVE SOLAR HEATING – Passive solar systems provide heat to the building structure through south facing windows in conjunction with thermal mass. Locate windows within 30° of due south and store excess heat in massive elements, such as slab fl oors or stone fi replaces. Passive solar design can reduce heating requirements by 30% to 40%. 3. SOLAR WATER SYSTEMS OR PRE-PLUMBING FOR FUTURE SOLAR WATER HEATING – Consider installing solar water heating systems OR pre- installing insulated copper pipes from the attic to a hot water closet or mechanical room for future solar installation. Suffi cient south facing roof area for collectors and access to mechanical room piping should be considered. 4. PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) SYSTEMS – PV systems collect the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. Excess electricity may be sent back into the utility grid for a credit on electric bills. All PV systems shall be integrally designed into the roof structure. 5. RADIANT HEATING SYSTEMS – Radiant heating is up to 30% more effi cient than forced air heating systems. Radiant heat may be installed in zones that allow users to adjust the temperature in various areas of the building, based on usage and desired comfort level. 6. Construction quality to meet or exceed typical Energy Star®, HERS, air leakage and duct leakage 3.41 Joerger Ranch Specific PlanLand Use Standards & Guidelines | Chapter 3 testing. 7. High effi ciency lighting and controls. 8. Th e installation of Energy Star® certifi ed appliances is strongly encouraged. Th ese appliances are signifi cantly more effi cient in their use of water and electricity. Most Energy Star® appliances are available in stainless steel, black, white and cabinet integrated fi nishes. Wood Materials 1. Reclaimed wood helps reduce the number of trees harvested for building construction. With its usual attractive and rustic appearance, reclaimed lumber gives buildings a timeless character. 2. If new wood is used, consider lumber certifi ed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Th e FSC provides a credible guarantee that the lumber comes from a well managed forest. FSC certifi ed lumber generally does not cost any more than non-certifi ed lumber and assures you are not attributing to clear cutting practices that degrade ecosystems. Window Selection 1. Consider utilizing Energy Star® labeled windows. Th ese windows are twice as effi cient as the average window produced just ten years ago. Th e products are designed to reduce heat loss and increase solar gain to provide warmer buildings in the winter and cooler buildings in the summer. Energy Star® windows are available in every aesthetic design and are operable to allow fresh air ventilation during summer months. Product features include dual panes, low-emissive coatings (Low-e) and wood or compost frames. Insulation 1. Consider upgrading insulation to exceed California Title 24 requirements. Properly installed, insulation will reduce the demand for heating and cooling, making buildings more comfortable and energy effi cient. 2. Preference should be given to loose and spray cellulose insulation products which are made from 100% recycled newspaper and treated with borates for fi re and insect resistance. Spray cellulose wall insulation is mixed with less toxic binders to adhere to stud and joist cavity surfaces, while completely fi lling cavities and reducing air movement within wall cavities, deterring moisture intrusion and fl ame spread. It also reduces infi ltration, further contributing to a quieter, more comfortable and energy effi cient building. Cellulose insulation is also formaldehyde-free which preserves air quality. 3. Cotton batt products should be used for batt insulation methods. Th ese products tend to use recycled cotton products, including denim, do not itch, and do not contain chemicals that degrade air quality. When using batt insulation, expandable foam and caulk shall be used to prevent infi ltration. Holes between fl oors and between stud cavities around wire runs shall be sealed. Caulk top and bottom plates on all fl oors. 4. Fiberglass should be used only as a last resort. Many fi berglass insulation products include recycled glass, formaldehyde-free binders, non-asphalt adhesives or colored dyes. Formaldehyde-free binders reduce indoor air quality problems. Fiberglass insulation may contain up to 30% recycled glass. Paints and Stains 1. Consider the use of Green Seal® certifi ed products. Green Seal® is an independent, non-profi t organization that strives to achieve a healthier, cleaner environment by identifying and promoting products and services that create less toxic pollution and waste. 2. When Green Seal® products are not practical, 3.42 Chapter 3 | Land Use Standards & GuidelinesJoerger Ranch Specific Plan consider low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) products. Th ese products are better for air quality in their use and manufacturing. In interior applications, low VOC products signifi cantly reduce the emission of chemicals. Many of these products are water based to facilitate easier clean- up. Flooring 1. Consider using reclaimed/salvaged FSC certifi ed wood for wood fl ooring when possible. 2. Solid wood fl oor boards are preferred over engineered products. Solid wood fl oors can be refi nished numerous times, have lower amounts of embodied energy and are not manufactured with multiple compounds that may impact indoor air quality. 3. Green Seal® certifi ed carpets, backing and padding are recommended for wall-to-wall carpets. Th ese products are better for indoor air quality and are generally recyclable at the end of their useful life. Recycled products are just as durable and attractive as conventional carpets. Most carpet manufacturers today off er Green Seal® carpet lines. 4. Local natural stone is encouraged for tiling. Where ceramic tile is used (for fl oors, walls and counters), tiles that contain high amounts of recycled content are encouraged. Paving and Hardscape Consider using permeable surfaces that allow water to percolate into the soil. For driveways, walkways and patios, utilize gap-spaced unit pavers, decomposed granite, gravel or grass-stabilization systems. Allowing storm water percolation reduces the volume of storm water runoff and sheet fl ow, while replenishing local aquifers and reducing soil erosion. Additional benefi ts include reducing irrigation requirements and lowering the risk of fl ooding. Th ese permeable surfaces may be eff ectively used in combination with biofi ltration, bioswales and subsurface detention systems. Alternative Transportation Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan has also been designed with a variety of pedestrian and bicycle connection paths, therefore all buildings within the Plan Area are encouraged to provide supporting amenities, such as bike racks and shower facilities for those employees who wish to utilize alternative forms of transportation. Chapter 4 Transportation Systems C HAPTER 4 |TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.2 1 | Introduction Th is chapter describes the vehicle, pedestrian and transit systems within the Joerger Ranch Plan Area and the respective relationships planned to interface with the existing and future road and bikeways network . Unlike many new development areas, there is already a signifi cant existing public road and highway network that serves Joerger Ranch and the greater Truckee Area. Th e existing road and highway network (see Figure 4-1) provides easy access to and from the plan area. Th e site is bisected by State Route Highway 267, creating separate development areas with varying levels of highway visibility. Similarly, but to a lesser degree, Soaring Way and Brockway Road further separate the development into four (4) quadrants within the Planning Area. SR 267 is an existing State Highway and direct access from the highway to the development is restricted. Brockway Road and Soaring Way are existing minor arterial roadways, and provide the primary access to the Plan area. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan is designed to provide vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle circulation within the Planning Area and is consistent with the Goals, Policies and Guidelines of the General Plan and the Town’s Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. Key circulation goals are as follows: Goal CIR-1: Develop a roadway system that provides access and mobility for Truckee residents and businesses and adequately serves existing and planned land uses while maintaining local community character. Goal CIR-2: Maintain adequate Level of Service on Truckee’s roadways and intersections to ensure the safe and effi cient movement of people and goods throughout the Town. Goal CIR-4: Create new developments that are integrated into the circulation network and promote connectivity within and between community areas. Goal CIR-10: Provide a safe, comprehensive, and integrated System of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and other non-motorized modes of transportation. Additionally the key element specifi c to Joerger Ranch identifi ed in the Town’s General Plan Circulation element states as follows: Per General Plan Policy PC3-P8, the mix of land uses in the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan will not generate an amount of traffi c that, in addition to the buildout of the General Plan, will result in the need for four lanes on Highway 267 from Highway 80 to the Highway 267/Brockway Road/ Soaring Way intersection. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan FIGURE 4-1 ROADWAY NETWORK 4.3 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN T RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | C HAPTER 4 improves existing roadway circulation patterns by adding roadways such as Martis Drive and by improving the existing roadways & intersections with added lanes, striping, crosswalks and new bicycle and pedestrian links. In terms of good roadway circulation and traffi c patterns, there are various roadway sections contained in Section 2 that support the diff erent land use areas and integrate the needs of motorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians alike for safe conveyance of travel. Detached bike paths, re-striping and roadway widening are some of the elements identifi ed. Intersections are a key element to providing eff ective circulation. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan proposes various improvements to the following four (4) intersections which are described in detail in Section 2: • Brockway Road / Martis Drive • Brockway Road / Hope Court • Highway 267/ Brockway Road / Soaring Way • Soaring Way / Joerger Drive General Plan Table CIR-5, item 25 identifi es the Highway 267/Brockway Road/Soaring Way intersection to be improved with a “roundabout, or additional through and turning lanes”. As illustrated in Figure 4-14, the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan identifi es additional through and turning lanes along with improvements for the safe crossing of pedestrians and bicyclists. Th e identifi ed improvements may be constructed incrementally or all at once, as traffi c demands warrant to meet the requirements of General Plan Policy 2.1. Th is intersection is also identifi ed within the Town’s AB 1600 Traffi c and Facility Impact Fee Program and traffi c fees are currently being collected for required future improvements. Bike paths are an important component of the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. Separated 10’ wide Class 1 bike paths and attached Class II bike paths are proposed to create bicycle and pedestrian connectivity amongst the Plan Area and the greater Truckee Area by providing linkage to future connections to the Truckee River Regional Park, Truckee River Legacy Trail, River View Sports Park and Martis Valley FIGURE 4-2 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION C HAPTER 4 |TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.4 Regional Trail connecting Truckee to Northstar. Th e design of Class I and Class II bike trails will follow the specifi cations of the Town’s Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. Sidewalks and pedestrian paths are proposed internally within all the plan areas with additional sidewalks identifi ed on some of the roadway sections. Crosswalks will promote pedestrian safety and encourage non-motorized transportation and are integrated throughout the Plan Area. Th is is critical in order to create a walkable, pedestrian accessible environment that is currently dominated by vehicular traffi c. Utilizing materials with textures and colors at crossings (ie. AC stamping) to distinguish pedestrian crossings from vehicular traffi c is an important design characteristic. Additionally, at the primary Class 1 bike trail crossing at the Brockway Road/Hope Court intersection, solar powered button activated LED crosswalk signs with depressed LED in-pavement lights are proposed to provide an additional layer of safety for bicyclists and pedestrians when crossing Brockway Road. Th e Circulation Element of the General Plan supports alternate modes of transportation to reduce vehicular use. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan encourages bicycle useage and pedestrian circulation with the construction of sidewalks and pathways along with the incorporation of bus shelters on Brockway Road and Soaring Way (see Figure 3-2). Th e following Roadway & Intersection Design (Section 2) and Bicycle Network & Design (Section 3) identifi es specifi c circulation improvements proposed for the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan Area. 2 | Roadway & Intersection Design 2.1 Roadway Improvements Th e Plan Area requires diff erent roadway sections to respond to varying circulation needs of the existing traffi c patterns and uses contained within the Specifi c Plan. Proposed roadway sections combine and integrate vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian uses for safe conveyance of travel. SOARING WAY: Th e existing roadway section of Soaring Way (east of Joerger Drive) is illustrated in Figure 4-3. Soaring Way in its existing condition is nearly completely improved with 40’ of asphalt plus Type “E” rolled curb & gutter on both sides. Th e proposed roadway section of Soaring Way (east of Joerger Drive) is illustrated in Figure 4-4. Th e fi nal roadway section will be identical to the existing roadway section (two 12’ wide travel lanes and two 8’ wide Class II bike lanes plus Type “E” curb & gutter) with the addition of a meandering 5’ wide pedestrian sidewalk on each side of the roadway, separated by a landscaping & snow storage buff er. FIGURE 4-3 SOARING WAY - EXISTING CONDITION 4.5 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN T RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | C HAPTER 4 Th e proposed roadway section of Soaring Way (west of Joerger Drive) is a transitional section from the Soaring Way / Joerger Drive intersection to the Soaring Way / SR Highway 267 intersection and is illustrated in Figure 4-5. It will include asphalt width to accomodate a westbound lane, a through / left turn pocket to Joerger Drive, and a right turn pocket into the proposed “CRS” zoning district south of Soaring Way / Joerger Drive intersection. Additionally, the roadway section will include two 5’ wide Class II bike lanes along with curb & gutter and a 5’ wide sidewalk to convey pedestrians to the development areas. FIGURE 4-5 SOARING WAY - WEST OF JOERGER DRIVE FIGURE 4-4B SOARING WAY - EAST OF JOERGER DRIVE FIGURE 4-4A SOARING WAY - EAST OF JOERGER DRIVE C HAPTER 4 |TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.6 HOPE COURT: Th e existing roadway section for Hope Court is illustrated in Figure 4-6. Hope Court currently consists of two 16’ wide travel lanes and aggregate base shoulders 2’ - 4’ in width. Th e “OS” designated area adjacent to Hope Court is an opportunity area for a trailhead access to the Martis Valley Regional Trail system which will connect to Northstar. As such, the proposed roadway section for Hope Court illustrated in Figure 4-7 identifi es a detached 10’ wide Class I bicycle trail that will continue to the easterly property limits of the Joerger Ranch Planning Area. MARTIS DRIVE: Martis Drive is one of the few roadways that will predominantly be composed of new construction and is illustrated in Figure 4-8. Th e proposed 60’ right-of-way will contain two 12’ wide travel lanes, Type “E” rolled curb & gutter and a 5’ wide sidewalk along the easterly side. Additionally, a detached Class I bicycle path is proposed on the westerly side and will continue to the northerly limits of Joeger Ranch. FIGURE 4-8 MARTIS DRIVE FIGURE 4-6 HOPE COURT - EXISTING CONDITION FIGURE 4-7 HOPE COURT - EXISTING CONDITION 4.7 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN T RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | C HAPTER 4 BROCKWAY ROAD: Th e existing roadway section for Brockway Road is illustrated in Figure 4-9 and consists of two 11’ wide travel lanes, a center turn/refuge lane and two 5’ wide Class II bicycle lanes. Th e proposed Brockway Road section west of the Hope Court / Brockway Road intersection will remain primarily the same as illustrated in Figure 4-10, with the addition of a detached Class I bicycle path on the northerly side of Brockway Road from Martis Drive and crossing at Hope Court. Brockway Road, east of Hope Court intersection, will transition as it approaches Highway 267 to accomodate a westbound through lane, designated left turn lane, northbound through lane, designated right turn lane and two 5’ wide Class II bike lanes (See Figure 4-11). Additionally, curb & gutter is proposed on the easterly side with a 5’ wide sidewalk for a safe pedestrian approach to Brockway Road / Highway 267. FIGURE 4-11 BROCKWAY ROAD - EAST OF HOPE COURT 4-9 BROCKWAY ROAD - EXISTING CONDITION 4-10 BROCKWAY ROAD - WEST OF HOPE COURT C HAPTER 4 |TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.8 JOERGER DRIVE: Joerger Drive currently has two 11’ wide travel lanes plus 4’ of asphalt on each side and shoulders varying from 2-4’ wide as shown on Figure 4-12. Proposed Joerger Drive, as illustrated in Figure 4-13, will remain primarily the same with two 11’ wide travel lanes, two 4’ wide Class II bike lanes, new curb & gutter and a 5’ wide concrete sidewalk on the westerly side to provide a safe pedestrian friendly frontage along the proposed “BP” and “CRS” zones. 2.2 Intersection Improvements BROCKWAY ROAD/SOARING WAY/HIGHWAY 267 : Th e existing intersection at Brockway Road / Soaring Way / Highway 267 is signalized with northbound and southbound through lanes with additional left turn lanes onto Soaring Way from the north and onto Brockway Road from the south. Traffi c from Brockway Road approaches a through/left turn lane and a designated right turn lane. Th ere is one (1) eastbound through lane to Soaring Way and one (1) westbound lane approaching from Soaring Way. Improvements to this intersection have been identifi ed in the General Plan as a “future community need” independent of the traffi c impacts resulting from the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. Figure 4-14 illustrates the proposed improvements to the intersection to increase capacity, improve effi ciency and add an additional layer of bicycle and pedestrian safety. On the Brockway Road side of the intersection, widening of the roadway is proposed in order to FIGURE 4-14 HWY 267 INTERSECTION FIGURE 4-13 JOERGER DRIVE FIGURE 4-12 JOERGER DRIVE - EXISTING CONDITION 4.9 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN T RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | C HAPTER 4 shift the designated right turn lane to the South and accommodate an additional lane. Th is additional lane will allow the existing through / left turn lane to be separated into a designated left turn only and designated through lane. Additionally, Class II bike lanes are proposed in both easterly and westerly directions. Curb & gutter and a 5’ wide concrete sidewalk is proposed on the south side of Brockway Road to facilitate pedestrian safety up to the signalized intersection. No modifi cations are proposed on the north side of the intersection. On the Soaring Way side of the intersection, widening is proposed to allow for a designated right turn lane with a through/ left and eastbound lane . On the Brockway Road side, Class II bike paths will be provided in each direction and curb, gutter and sidewalk are proposed on the south side to convey pedestrians along the Brockway Road and Soaring Way corridor. Th e south side of the intersection is proposed to include a right turn only lane to minimize delay onto Soaring Way. Signalization upgrades along with lane widening is proposed to accomplish these intersection upgrades. BROCKWAY ROAD/HOPE COURT: Th e existing three-leg “T” intersection at Brockway Road and Hope Court is proposed to be improved to a four-leg intersection adding a commercial driveway entrance to the north to access the Lifestyle Commercial (CL) zoning area as illustrated in Figure 4-15. Striping and minor widening will create two (2) left turn pockets both east and west bound on Brockway Road into the Commercial Lifestyle (CL)zoning area and onto Hope Court. Additionally Th is intersection has two pedestrian and Bicycle crossings as the Class 1 bicycle trail crosses the commercial driveway approach fronting the Commercial Lifestyle “CL” zoning area and then crosses Brockway Road to the northerly side of Hope Court. A solar powered push button activated LED Flashing Pedestrian Cross- walk sign is proposed on each side of Brockway Road. Additionally recessed LED lit in-pavement lights are proposed to add additional visibility and safety to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing Brockway Road. BROCKWAY ROAD/MARTIS DRIVE: Figure 4-16 illustrates the improvements identifi ed for the Martis Drive / Brockway Road intersection. FIGURE 4-15 HOPE COURT / BROCKWAY ROAD INTERSECTION FIGURE 4-16 MARTIS DRIVE / BROCKWAY ROAD INTERSECTION C HAPTER 4 |TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.10 Th e intersection currently exists and no widening is required, or proposed. Minor striping within Brockway Road and the addition of Curb and Gutter on Martis Drive and the Class 1 bicycle path crossing will complete this intersection. SOARING WAY/JOERGER DRIVE: Th e Soaring Way / Joerger Drive intersection will be improved per Figure 4-17 to provide additional turn pockets and an additional leg to the south to access the Regional Commercial (CR) and Regional Support Commercial (CRS) zoning areas. Currently, Soaring Way is uncontrolled with both an eastbound and westbound lane. Vehicles heading south from Joerger Drive approach the intersection and existing stop sign. Th e intersection is proposed to be a four way intersection with stop signs. Motorists on the westerly side of the intersection on Soaring way will have a through / left turn pocket as well as a designated right turn only pocket for entering the “CRS” zoning area. Some minor widening on Joerger Drive will accommodate the addition of a designated right turn only pocket along with a through / left pocket and northbound lane. Th e easterly side of the intersection on Soaring Way will be striped to include a designated left turn and through / right pockets. Th e southerly leg of the intersection will have a southbound lane a through / left pocket for motorists heading up Joerger, or left on Soaring Way and a designated right turn pocket as well. 3 | Bicycle Network & Design A 10 feet wide separated Class 1 bicycle path is proposed on the northerly side of Brockway Road from the westerly boundary of the Joerger Ranch Plan Area running easterly and crossing Brockway Road and along the northerly side of Hope Court to the easterly boundary of the Joerger Ranch Plan Area and in conformance with the Truckee General Plan (see Figure 4-18). Th is will provide a signifi cant link to connect to the future Martis Valley Trail to the southeast and to the Truckee Regional Park to the northwest. A Class 1 bicycle path is also proposed to be constructed on the westerly side of Martis Drive to the northern property boundary of the Joerger Ranch Plan Area which will allow for a future extension to connect to the Legacy Trail to the north. FIGURE 4-17 SOARING WAY / JOERGER DRIVE INTERSECTION 4.11 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN T RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | C HAPTER 4 In addition to the Class 1 bicycle trail segments, Class II bicycle paths are integrated into the various roadway sections, including each side of Brockway Road, Soaring Way and along Joerger Drive fronting the Joerger Drive Specifi c Plan Area. FIGURE 4-18 TRAILS EXHIBIT Chapter 5 Public Services & Infrastructure 5.2 C HAPTER 5 | PUBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 2.1 Surface Water Features Th e project is within the Truckee River watershed and is located approximately 0.75 miles south of the river. Th is portion of the watershed consists of meadows and intermittent channels bounded to the east by the Martis Creek watershed area and bounded to the south and west by sloping topography. Overall the size of the drainage area is approximately 2 square miles. Elevation of its ground surface ranges from about 5,800 feet above mean sea level (msl) along Truckee River to 6,760 at Bald Mountain, a mountain summit that defi nes the southwesterly extent of the watershed. In general, the southerly half of the drainage is dominated by mountainous terrain and steep hillsides with intermittent channels and unnamed tributaries. At the base of the hillside area, there is fl at terrain with woodlands and a series of meadows. Th e meadow areas are dispersed across a broad area along Brockway Road, Highway 267 and the Truckee-Tahoe Airport. In many cases the meadow areas are isolated with no surface connection to Truckee River. Th e project site is located on the northern half of the drainage shed area on the relatively fl at terrain with grasslands, meadows and woodlands. Several independent special service districts and private utility companies provide the range of needed utilities and infrastructure to Truckee, including Joerger Ranch. Th is Chapter outlines the general infrastructure and utility service program for Joerger Ranch to ensure that suffi cient infrastructure is provided to, and within, the Plan Area. Th is Chapter describes the existing infrastructure related to water, wastewater, storm water drainage, electric, gas, phone, cable tv and solid waste disposal in the immediate vicinity of the Joerger Ranch Plan Area, and a general outline of needed infrastructure improvements to serve development within the Plan Area. A Utility & Infrastructure Plan (Figure 5-2) is included, depicting the existing utility locations and likely points-of-connection for water, sewer, telecommunications and electric service to the various subdistricts of the Plan Area. Th e Utility & Infrastructure Plan also indicates known on-site looped connections and improvements necessary to serve Joerger Ranch. Th e ultimate design of these improvements, including their location, size, and capacity, is reliant upon development proposals and coordination and approval with each of the respective service entities. 1 | Introduction 2 | Hydrology & Storm Drainage FIGURE 5-1 5.3 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN P UBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE | C HAPTER 5 Surface runoff is conveyed primarily as sheet fl ow through the project site in a northerly direction toward Truckee River. Th e site contains two intermittent ephemeral drainage courses that are fed from the south by culverts passing under Brockway Road and State Route 267. 2.2 Hydrogeologic Information Th e geological setting for Martis Valley Basin (and the project site) consists of plutonic/metamorphic rock, sedimentary deposits and volcanic deposits. Groundwater level elevations are controlled by the complex stratifi cation of the hydrogeologic units, topographic relief, and groundwater fl ow barriers. Groundwater in the basin is largely fed by precipitation, snow melt and seepage from the mountainous terrain to the southwest. Th e underlying Martis Valley aquifer is the main water supply for the Town of Truckee and other public and private entities. Average precipitation is estimated to be 23 inches in the lower elevations of the northern portion of the basin to nearly 40 inches in the southern areas. Approximately 75 percent of the annual precipitation is received in the winter and early spring months as snow or mixed rain and snow. Precipitation throughout the remainder of the year primarily consists of thunderstorms. 2.3 Project Drainage Th e Joerger Ranch project drainage is defi ned by fi ve drainage shed areas shown in Figure 5-1. Surface Water and drainage will be managed through a combination of natural and built features to conserve water quality, natural hydrology and habitat and preserve biodiversity through conservation of water bodies and wetlands. Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater management strategies will be used to maintain the natural hydrologic function of the site with localized small-scale source control techniques that disperse fl ows and manage runoff close to where it originates. Storm drainage from impervious areas (roads, walks, roofs) will be collected and routed through water quality treatment facilities designed to reduce the rate of runoff to pre-project conditions, remove potential pollutants and facilitate infi ltration. LID Drainage facilities may include Water Quality Inlets; Buff er Strips; Soil Amendments; Earthen swales; Rock-lined swales; Bioswales; Rock Infi ltration Basins; Retention Basins and Slope Stabilization. Th ese facilities will be used to capture sand and sediment, provide fi ltration of pollutants and allow infi ltration to underlying soils. Grading disturbance shall be minimized by use of construction fencing. All graded disturbance areas shall be restored with soil stabilization and natural vegetation through use of organic material such as wood chips, mulch, and native plantings for protective ground cover. Per the guidelines of the State of California, Water Resources Control Board, Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (SWRCB-Lahontan) and as required by Town of Truckee, onsite retention shall be provided for 20-year, 1-hour volume of water from impervious areas. Th is equates to the fi rst 0.7 inches of rainfall from all impervious surfaces including roadways, sidewalks, paved paths, roofs and driveways. Peak discharge fl ows are reduced to rates and quantities at or below existing pre-project FIGURE 5-2 SR 267 CULVERT 5.4 C HAPTER 5 | PUBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN conditions by use of onsite retention facilities that attenuate fl ows and provide infi ltration. Snow storage and snow removal are important considerations on-site and within the adjacent public road and highway rights-of-way. Snow will be stored on-site in landscape areas and other undeveloped areas. If the required amount of snow storage cannot be handled on-site, it will be hauled off -site to a permitted disposal site such as the Eastern Regional Landfi ll Transfer Station. Storm water runoff from snow storage areas will be routed through water quality treatment facilities prior to discharge. Snow removal shall be further described in a Maintenance Agreement between property owner and the Town. 2.4 Water Quality Water quality controls for the project shall be implemented in compliance with local, State and Federal requirements. California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) enforces the federal Clean Water Act and Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, including administration of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB) has surface water and groundwater objectives, prohibitions and guidelines as set forth in the Water Quality Control Plan for the Lahontan Region (Basin Plan). During construction, Best Management Practices (BMP’s) including temporary erosion control facilities shall be implemented to control any pollutants that could potentially aff ect the quality of storm water discharges from the site. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared and the project will comply with the State of California’s General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities. Th is includes implementation, maintenance and inspection of non-storm water and storm water discharge; erosion and sediment control measures; materials and waste management; general site clean-up; vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling and maintenance; and spill control ensuring that no materials other than storm water are discharged in quantities which will have an adverse eff ect on receiving waters. Post Construction BMP’s will also be implemented in accordance with NPDES Stormwater Phase II and Town of Truckee’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) requirements. Post Construction BMP’s include runoff control measures, water quality facilities, operations and maintenance program, employee training, recycling and waste disposal program and public education (signage/brochures) for storm water protection. Permanent water quality facilities that remain in place upon completion of the project such as bio-swales, retention basins and water quality inlet structures remove and fi lter potential common pollutants such as oil and grease from roadways, pesticides from lawns, sediment, and carelessly discarded trash prior to discharge of storm water to natural water course. 3 | Sanitary Sewerage Wastewater collection and conveyance is provided by the Truckee Sanitary District (TSD). Wastewater treatment is provided by the Tahoe-Truckee Sani- tary Agency (T-TSA). Sewage is currently collected primarily by gravity fl ow throughout adjacent devel- oped areas, and is transported in a sewer main line at Joerger Drive for conveyance to the treatment plant located east of the Town of Truckee. Figure 5-3 shows the points of connection and the mainline extensions needed to serve this project. Th e on site sewer line layouts in each sub-District are shown with dashed lines. Final sewer collection system layouts and pipe sizes will depend on the building layouts and will comply with TSD design requirements. 5.5 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN P UBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE | C HAPTER 5 Figure 5-3 also details the existing sewer mainline and the proposed mainline extensions. Each sub-District may build its own stand alone mainline extension and connection, independent of the order of phasing, as described herein. Th e Neighborhood District shall connect to the existing 21” sanitary sewer near its northern boundary. Th e RM-F zoning area at the intersection of Hope Court / Brockway Road shall connect to the existing sanitary sewer in Brockway Road and extend it east along Hope Court. Th e elevation of the existing point of connection will determine how much of the Hope Court site can be served by gravity sewer and whether or not service pumps are required. Development along Joerger Drive shall connect to the existing 21” sanitary sewer at its north boundary. A mainline extension within Joerger Drive is not necessary. Th e remainder of the CRS Zoning area would be required to connect on site by extending the existing 6” sewer stubs along Soaring Way. Final mainline extensions and on site system layouts will comply with TSD design requirements. Each Specifi c Plan area shall provide easements as required by TSD for the public sanitary sewer improvements and access thereto. 4 | Water 4.1 Water Supply Water service in Truckee is provided by the Truckee Donner Public Utility District (TDPUD), a publicly owned utility providing electric and water service since 1927. Th e District operates three water systems in the Truckee area: the Hirshdale System, the Truckee System, and the Donner Lake System. Th e Truckee System serves the Joerger Ranch Plan Area. Existing transmission, distribution and treated water storage facilities will serve both existing and future demand from the planned development. Th is basic infrastructure has developed by TDPUD in accordance with the Water Master Water Plan and is suffi cient to supply the project. Water mainlines are located within the adjacent roadways and will be extended throughout the project site for domestic water distribution and fi re suppression. Th e project water demand is equivalent to, or less than, the amount of water required per the General Plan and TDPUD Water Master Plan. Water consumption will be reduced in accordance with California Green Building Standards Code (CalGreen) water saving mandates through the use of water effi cient fi xtures, fi ttings, fl ow restrictors and irrigation controllers. 4.2 Existing System Figure 5-4 shows the TDPUD water distribution sys- tem in the vicinity of this project. Existing water main sizes are shown. FIGURE 5-3 5.6 C HAPTER 5 | PUBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 4.3 Proposed System Figure 5-4 also shows the points of connection and the water mainline extensions needed to serve this project. Th e layout of these mainline extensions will comply with the TDPUD Water System Master Plan and meet their approval. Th e on site water line layouts in each Specifi c Plan area are shown with dashed lines. Final water line layouts and pipe sizes will depend upon the results of hydraulic analysis that take into account existing system pressures, project elevations, fi re fl ow requirements and domestic demands. Hydraulic analysis will be performed with the existing TDPUD hydraulic model, in accordance with their design requirements. 5 | Energy 5.1 Electric Service Th e Joerger Ranch Project lies within the service area of Truckee Donner Public Utility District (TDPUD).  Existing electrical transmission lines and service distribution lines lie adjacent to and within the Plan Area. Electrical service facilities will be extended from existing TDPUD infrastructure and shall be upgraded as necessary to adequately serve the project as it develops and shall be designed to accommodate ultimate development at build out. Th ese facilities shall be designed and extended as directed by TDPUD and in accordance with TDPUD and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) rules. Common trench utilities including electric, natural gas, telephone, and cable TV services shall be located underground within public utility easements. Placement of transformer boxes shall be coordinated with TDPUD. 5.2 Natural Gas Natural gas service is provided to the Truckee area by Southwest Gas Corporation.  Existing natural gas transmission lines and service distribution lines lie adjacent to and within the Plan Area. Natural gas facilities will be extended from existing Southwest infrastructure in Martis Drive and shall be upgraded as necessary to adequately serve the project as it develops and shall be designed to accommodate maximum build out.

All calls are responded to from the Department’s headquarters, allowing for a fast response time to the Plan Area. 7.2 Fire Protection Th e Truckee Fire Protection District (TFPD) provides fi re prevention, fi re suppression, emergency medical care and/or transportation, assorted rescue services, and public education services within the Town of Truckee. Th ree TFPD fi re stations are located in close proximity to the Plan Area: Station 91 in Downtown Truckee, Station 92 in the Gateway area, and Station 96 in the Truckee Tahoe Airport area. Th ese three TFPD fi re stations are located and staff ed as follows: Station 91 in Downtown is located in downtown Truckee and houses the Fire Chief’s offi ce, the District’s administrative staff and the Prevention Bureau. Station 92, in the Gateway area, is located next to the Truckee High School and in front of the Sierra Mountain Middle School. It is the District’s largest station with the most equipment. Th e Town of Truckee lies within a high Fire Hazard Severity Zone, as defi ned by the California Department of Forestry, indicating that wildland fi res are considered to pose a signifi cant hazard. Th e level of fi re danger risk within the town ranges from moderate to very high based on the density of development within a particular area and its proximity to forested areas. 8 | Solid Waste & Recycling Solid waste removal and recycling services for the Town of Truckee are provided by the Tahoe-Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD) Company. Two separate bodies make up the TTSD: Tahoe Truckee Disposal FIGURE 5-5 5.8 C HAPTER 5 | PUBLIC SERVICES & INFRASTRUCTURE J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN (TTD) and the Eastern Regional Landfi ll Material Recovery Facility (MRF). TTD is responsible for collecting household waste and recyclables to the MRF. Th e MRF is the recycling center for household and construction materials that acts as a transfer station for household waste. Incoming solid waste is either recycled or transported to the Lockwood Regional Landfi ll in Storey County, Nevada. Th is 1,535-acre site has a 60-year capacity to accommodate the buildout projections for the TTSD’s service area. Currently, TTSD is in its twelft h year of an 80-year contract for disposal services at the landfi ll. TTD is the collection division of TTSD and operates close to 40 vehicles to collect waste. TTD uses a combination of rear mounting bin pick up trucks for single-family residences and low-density areas, and front loader garbage trucks for commercial and multi- family areas. Funding for solid waste collection comes from collection fees. TTSD handles approximately 60,000 tons of waste per year and is operating at 50 percent of their total capacity of 120,000 tons per year. In 2002, the capacity of the MRF facility and transfer station were increased by 100 percent. TTSD plans on continuing to expand their services to accommodate the growth and increasing needs of their service area. 9 | Mail Service Mail delivery and collection is provided for the Town and surrounding region by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from a distribution facility located in Downtown Truckee. Th e project development will include “clustered” type mailboxes – including free- standing, pedestal-mounted cluster box unit (CBU), or other cluster mailboxes mounted in a wall, kiosk, or shelter in accordance with USPS regulations and requirements. Chapter 6 Implementation & Phasing 6.2 C HAPTER 6 | IMPLEMENTATION & PHASING J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN 1 | Introduction Th is section is intended to identify the orderly development implementation and phasing of the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan infrastructure. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan area is divided by state and local roadways that create four separate and distinct quadrants. Market demand, economic conditions and fi nancing will all factor into the incremental implementation and phasing of uses. 2 | Common Infrastructure Th e overall Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan has common infrastructure improvements that benefi ts all properties within the Plan Area. Th ese improvements are needed to be installed if major portions of the Plan Area develop fi rst. However, there are parcels within the Plan Area that may not trigger major improvements or may only require portions of the overall improvements. It is important that a planning program recognize these factors and allow for fl exibility in the program while still requiring each property owner who will benefi t from the overall program to pay their fair share so that the common infrastructure can be built out in an orderly fashion. Th e Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan has factored in these competing interests and has established a format that allows for the cost and timing of infrastructure improvements to be based upon the intensity and percentage of useage. Below describes the common area and specifi c area infrastructure improvements needed to develop the plan area and how each parcel /parcel owner is responsible for their fair share. 2.1 Overall Common Area Improvements Th e Overall Common Area Improvements necessary for build out of the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan are: • Highway 267 / Brockway Road / Soaring Way Intersection • Soaring Way / Joerger Drive Intersection • Brockway Road improvements • Water main within the Hwy 267 right-of-way • 16” water main from the 24” casing north to the existing 24” water transmission line • Transit Stops • Trails & Bike Lanes • Off site Utility Infrastructure (if required) 2.2 Specifi c Common Area Improvements Specifi c improvements for the CR, CRS and M1 land use areas (Parcels 8 - 14) include: • Th e improvements along Soaring Way and the intersection of Joerger Drive / Soaring Way • Th e 16” water line within Soaring Way and Joerger Drive to the 24” casing • Electrical/telephone conductors (conduits exist) within Soaring Way Specifi c improvements for the CL, RM and BIZ land use areas (Parcels 1-6) include: • *Martis Drive Improvements 6.3 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN I MPLEMENTATION & PHASING | C HAPTER 6 • *Class 1 bike path adjacent to Martis Drive • *12” water line in Martis Drive • Class I Bike Path along Hope Court (*Parcel 6 Excluded from Martis Drive improvements) Tables 6-1 and 6-2 further describe the timing of the various infrastructure improvements. In order to determine fair share costs of common area and specifi c area improvements prior to any subdivision map recordation or specifi c development permit approvals for individual uses with the Plan Area, the project sponsor shall prepare a Cost Analysis Assessment (CAA) consisting of civil design drawings for all common area and specifi c area improvements listed above to 30 % level design and provide an estimate of probable construction costs. Th e project sponsor shall also prepare a land use intensity chart based on allowed uses listed in the specifi c plan and anticipated traffi c use analyzed in the Specifi c Plan EIR. Th e CAA shall be submitted to the Town Engineering Department to confi rm that the Design Drawings and estimate of probable construction costs follow the Town’s Development Standards. Once the CAA is approved, it can be used to allocate the associated common and specifi c area costs to the various zones and parcels to be created. Each future parcel development will be responsible for completing the improvements for the length of that parcels frontage as set forth in Chapter 4.2.2 (Roadway & Intersection Design) and pay a fair share portion of the Intersection, Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Public Transportation improvements as set forth in Chapter 4. Minor projects proposed within the Plan Area that can demonstrate that traffi c they generate does not exceed the existing, acceptable operational level of service (LOS) at the Intersections listed in Chapter 4 may be permitted subject to construction of their parcels frontage improvements and paying their fair share portion of the Common Infrastructure Improvements outlined above. Projects that generate traffi c that exceed the existing, acceptable operational LOS at the Intersections listed in Chapter 4 will be required to construct those Overall Common Area Improvements necessary to bring the operational LOS at the impacted interscetion to an acceptable level. Additionally, each project is responsible for their site specifi c frontage improvements, along with payment of whatever remaining fair share of the common infrastructure improvements as allocated by the CAA. In conjunction with allocating costs based on the CAA for individual parcel owners construction, the project sponsor shall establish a legal entity (i.e. Owners Association or similar) that has the authority to and obligates all parcels and parcel owners to fund their fair share portion of the design, construction, and permitting fee costs of the Common Area Improvements if they proceed prior to construction of the Common Area Improvements; OR pay their fair share of reimbursement funds to the project sponsor who installed the improvement(s) if they develop aft er the Common Area Improvements are installed. A Project that requires the construction of Overall Common Area Improvements will be responsible for completion of the fi nal Civil Design, construction 6.4 C HAPTER 6 | IMPLEMENTATION & PHASING J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN permitting and completion of the improvements. Th e remaining properties that have not paid their fair share portionof the Overall Common Area Improvements will be subject to reimbursement. 3 | Implementation Summary 3.1 Tasks to Implement the Adopted Specifi c Plan Identifi ed below are the initial actions (See Table 6-1 for specifi cs) that will need to occur for Specifi c Plan implementation: • Specifi c Plan / Tentative Map approval • Prepare 30% design for common infrastructure improvement plans and engineer’s cost estimate and pro-rata share matrix (reviewed and approved by Town of Truckee Engineering Department) • Create managing legal entity responsible for implementation of public infrastructure including fi nal design drawings, construction, collection, retention & distribution of cost assessments, and reimbursement of construction costs • Create an Owners Association that establishes the specifi c expectations/responsibilites for the following: • Maintenance provision for on- and off -site trails, bikeways and roadways not accepted by a public entity • Aff ordable Housing implementation • Shared parking, access, snow storage, drainage, and landscaping • Final Subdivision Map recordations (as necessary) • Submittals & processing of individual Development Permits • Construction of required improvements 4 | Anticipated Phasing Development within Joerger Ranch will be incre- mental and will be driven by market demands. With market uncertainties, it is impossible to exactly iden- tify the phasing order of project development within Joerger Ranch. Tables 6-1 and 6-2 identifi y specifi c improvements that are anticipated for buildout of the various land use areas: 5 | Aff ordable Housing Th e Joerger Ranch Development, being comprised of both residential and non-residential components will require “Inclusionary Housing” (section 18.214, Truckee Development Code) for residential development as well as “Workforce Housing” (section 18.216, Truckee Development Code) for non-residential development. 6 | Inclusionary Housing Fift een percent (15%) of all new residential dwelling units within a residential development project shall be aff ordable based upon the criteria identifi ed in Section 18.214.04 of the Truckee Development Code. Th e individual parcel owner/developers shall comply with this requirement by either constructing “for sale”, or “for rent”units, payment of an in-lieu fee, or by a Town Council approved alternative equivalent proposal, as specifi ed in Section 18.214.04. 7 | Workforce Housing Workforce housing shall be required for all non- residential development and shall be calculated based upon the number of full-time equivalent employees divided by 28, per Section 18.216 of the Truckee Development Code. Th e individual parcel owner/ developers shall comply with this requirement by 6.5 J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN I MPLEMENTATION & PHASING | C HAPTER 6 either constructing “for sale”, or “for rent”units, payment of an in-lieu fee, or by a Town Council approved alternative alternative equivalent proposal. Generally for both inclusionary and workforce housing required, the units may be single family, multi-family attached, or mixed-use loft type units and shall incorporate the design guidelines as included within the Joerger Ranch Specifi c Plan. Th e in-lieu fee in eff ect at the time of an individual project approval shall be the amount per aff ordable unit required, unless a subsequent update of the in- lieu fee is adjusted lower and is in eff ect at the time the fee is required to be paid, then the lower of the two amounts shall be paid. Aff ordable housing units that are required and intended to be constructed in conjunction with another building shall be designed and generally built concurrently. A certifi cate of occupancy will not be issued for the non-aff ordable building until a certifi cate of occupancy has been issued for the aff ordable unit. Generally, when a use is proposed beyond the initial Joerger Ranch Phase I subdivision map, the in-lieu fee(s) shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit. Th e Community Development Director may approve a deff erral of the payment until occupancy of a structure if the applicant enters into a recorded agreement with the Town to pay the fee. Additionally the individual parcel owner/developers shall be able to utilize any additional alternatives, incentives, or exceptions that exist, or added to the Development Code, or annual aff ordable housing update by Town Council in eff ect at the time that the in-lieu fee, or aff ordable housing units are to be constructed. 6.6 C HAPTER 6 | IMPLEMENTATION & PHASING J OERGER RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN TABLE 6-1 NO.IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES & ACTION ITEMS TIMING RESPONSIBLE PARTY 1Specifi c Plan / Tenative Map Approval 2Overall Specifi c Plan Traffi c Study: Traffi c study to analyze overall specifi c plan based upon delineated uses and zoning contained herein.
