Public hearings were conducted as follows. COUNCIL ACTION On February 18, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-007 amending the Housing Element and Land Use Element of the General Plan to allow the required 3-acre park/open space to be split into more than one area of the site (Application P24-0720). ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION On March 18, 2025, the Zoning Administrator found the Housing Element Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) adequate to serve as the environmental document for the application. COMMISSION ACTION On March 26, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2025-06 finding the project compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), making tentative map findings, and approving Vesting Tentative Map 8724 subject to conditions of approval. On July 9, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2025-14 amending Vesting Tentative Map 8724 to split the required 3-acre park/open space into a 0.65 park at the rear of the site and a 2.35 open space at the front of the property. DISCUSSION Approval of the final map for Tract 8724, where the map substantially complies with the conditions of approval for the vesting tentative map, is a ministerial act of the City Council under California Government Code Section 66474.1. The developer provided surety bonds in conformance with California Government Code Section 66499. Submitted surety bonds assure both the developer’s performance and payment for labor and materials. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement also requires the developer to guarantee the completed improvements for a period of one year. The storm drainage network, private roads, and common areas will be privately owned and managed by an HOA. The onsite sanitary sewer network will be public and maintained by the City. A public water main will extend into the subdivision to serve individual meters at each home. The private road will accommodate emergency vehicle access and provide space for utilities (electricity, gas, and telecommunication services).
