STAFF PLANNER:
Brenda Ramirez, Associate Planner
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
APPROVE a one-year time extension for TTM No. 36832 and the associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption per Section 15332 - Infill Development (approved December 17, 2014), and based on the findings contained in the staff report.
Body
FINDINGS:
APPROVAL OF A TIME EXTENSION OF TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 36832 for one year (until December 17, 2018), based on the following findings:
1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project that would require major revisions of the previously approved CEQA exemption (approved December 17, 2014) due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to circumstances under which the project was undertaken that would require major revisions of the previously approved CEQA exemption due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously-identified significant effects; and
3. No new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous CEQA exemption was approved has been identified.
BACKGROUND:
This tentative tract map was approved by the Planning Commission on December 17, 2014. The site is located between Elizabeth Road and McCallum Way approximately 660 feet west of Landau Boulevard in the R1 (single family residential) zoning district. The map is for the subdivision of approximately 4.57 acres into 18 lots (17 single family residential lots and one common lot). On February 1, 2017, the Planning Commission approved the first one-year extension with a new expiration date of December 17, 2017.
The map was proposed in two phases. Phase 1, which is under construction, includes lots 1 through 4, fronting Elizabeth Road. Phase 2 includes the remaining lots (5-17) and the retention basin lot, which are currently undeveloped.
The applicant is actively working with City staff on the project, including finalizing the final map for Phase 2. However, the applicant is requesting additional time to complete and satisfy all the Conditions of Approval imposed on the map and Phase 2.
ANALYSIS:
City Ordinance 659 provides that an applicant may apply for a one-year extension only, and no more than three one-year extensions for any tentative map. The applicant submitted a request for a one-year time extension on December 11, 2017, prior to the map’s expiration date. Since the request for time extension was received prior to the map expiration, the Subdivision Map Act (Section 66452.6 (e)) automatically extends the tentative tract map for 60 days or until a final decision on the extension can be made. This approval is to review the extension of time only and not the project. Approval of this one-year time extension will establish a new expiration date of December 17, 2018 for the Tentative Tract Map. If approved by the Planning Commission, this would be the second extension for Tentative Tract Map No. 36832. The decision by the Planning Commission is final unless appealed to the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
In processing this time extension request, staff reviewed the application in accordance with Section 15162 of the CEQA guidelines. It has been determined that since the approval of the CEQA exemption per Section 15332 - Infill Development, there have been no substantial changes to the overall project, no new significant environmental effects, no substantial increase in the severity of the previously-identified impacts, and no new information of substantial importance that would change or modify the conclusions reached in the initial document. Therefore, no additional environmental action is required.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
This is not a public hearing item and does not require public notification.
