Page 2 of 3 approval. This approval found that the Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the City’s Sixth-Cycle Housing Element Update satisfied the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). COMMISSION ACTION On November 8, 2023, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-2023-15 approving Vesting Tentative Map 8676 pursuant to the application filed as P23-0605 for the Harmony project. The vesting tentative map creates a one-lot condominium parcel with overlying public service (PSE), emergency vehicle access (EVAE), and public access (PAE) easements. The PSE and EVAE extend across the private loop road, while the PAE extends along Santa Rita Road and Lockhart Lane. DISCUSSION The on-site water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage networks, as well as the loop road and common area, will be privately owned and managed by a homeowners association. A widened public sidewalk along Santa Rita Road and a new sidewalk along the north side of Lockhart Lane will accommodate pedestrian access needs. The loop road will accommodate emergency vehicle access and provide space for utilities (electricity, gas, and telecommunication services). Approval of the final map and acceptance of public easements (PSE, EVAE, and PAE) for Tract 8676, when the map substantially complies with the conditions of the vesting tentative map, is a ministerial act by the City Council according to California Government Code Section 66474.1. The subdivider has executed a Subdivision Improvement Agreement that guarantees installation of city-required subdivision improvements. The subdivider transferred their obligations under the Subdivision Improvement Agreement to their contractor according to an Agreement for Completion of Improvements. The contractor provided surety bonds in conformance with California Government Code Section 66499. Submitted surety bonds assure the contractor’s performance and payment for labor and materials. The agreement also requires the contractor to guarantee the completed improvements for one year. Staff reviewed the final map, improvement plans, Subdivision Improvement Agreement, and Agreement for Completion of Improvements, finding the documents to be in substantial conformance with the requirements of the Zoning Administrator approval and Planning Commission Resolution PC-2023-15. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of these documents. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Not applicable, as this item is an administrative matter of City business. OUTREACH Condition of Approval 25 of the Zoning Administrator approval requires the subdivider to notify neighbors within 300 feet of the project site of the construction schedule. Resolution PC-2023- 15 was subject to public hearings before the Planning Commission. Page 158 of 682
