MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BY: MATTHEW DOWNING, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF TIME EXTENSION 17-006; ONE YEAR TIME
EXTENSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT
AND ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL CODE; LOCATION – LA
CANADA/BLOSSOM VALLEY ROAD (TRACT 1998); APPLICANT –
CASTLEROCK DEVELOPMENT; REPRESENTATIVE – JASON
TYRA
DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2017
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approval of the Time Extension would allow an additional twelve (12) months for the
developer to record the final subdivision map, until January 27, 2019.
IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Time
Extension 17-006.
BACKGROUND:
On January 27, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4156, approving
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 01-001 and Planned Unit Development No. 01-001.
The approved project consists of the subdivision of 26.9 acres into fifteen (15)
residential lots on approximately 4.9 acres and one (1) 22-acre open space parcel
(Attachment 1). The original approval was set to expire on January 27, 2011;
however, as a result of State Law during the Great Recession, and the previously
approved time extension (Time Extension 16-002), the expiration of the map has
been extended until January 27, 2018.
The applicant submitted a request for a one-year time extension on October 31,
2017. In accordance with Subsection 66452.6(e) of the Subdivision Map Act, the
application was automatically extended for sixty (60) days upon receipt of application

by the applicant to extend the map. The map will remain active until March 27, 2018,
or until the City Council takes action on the time extension if no action is taken by the
new expiration date.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Municipal Code Subsection 16.12.140.C allows the Council to grant a project up to
three (3) one-year time extensions, only if it is found that there have been no
significant changes in the General Plan, Municipal Code, or character of the area
within which the project is located that would cause the approved project to be
injurious to the public health, safety or welfare. No such changes have been
identified in these areas that would cause the proposed project to be injurious to the
public health, safety, or welfare. Additionally, the applicant has been working toward
recording a final map for the project, including dedicating an area for municipal use
(Well 11), submitting and revising Public Improvement Plans, and submitting
Homeowners Association Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Covenants, Conditions,
and Restrictions, Design Manual, and a Common Area Management Program.
If approved, the one-year time extension would extend the expiration date of the
project to January 27, 2019, and the applicant would be eligible to apply for one (1)
additional one-year time extension, in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal
Code and the Subdivision Map Act.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution approving Time Extension 17-006;
2. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution approving Time Extension 17-006;
3. Do not adopt the attached Resolution, provide specific findings and direct staff
to return with a Resolution denying the time extension; or
4. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving the requested time extension will maintain the viability of an approved
project, will allow the applicant to continue to work toward recording the final
subdivision map and is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages associated with approval of the requested time extension have
been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State
CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined that the granting of a time extension is not
subject to CEQA per Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines, regarding the general
rule that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant
effect on the environment, an activity is not subject to CEQA.
