SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS AND EASEMENTS FOR TRACT 3079 LOCATED AT
RODEO COURT
DATE: JANUARY 26, 2021
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Acceptance of public improvements and easements for Tract 3079, located at Rodeo
Court.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The estimated value of the public improvements for Tract 3079 is $1.9 million.
Maintenance of the new public improvements will add to the overall costs of the City
infrastructure maintenance program.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution accepting public improvements
and easements for Tract 3079, located at Rodeo Court.
BACKGROUND:
Tract 3079 is included in a project that involved amending the Arroyo Grande Municipal
Code to allow additional residential units located within the Royal Oaks Planned
Development (PD) and subdividing 7.52-acre project site into seven (7) residential lots
ranging in size from 0.58 to 1.32 acres. The property is bounded by Rodeo Drive to the
south and Grace Lane to the east. The City Council approved Development Code
Amendment 17-001, Vesting Tentative Tract Map 16-001 (Tract 3079) and a Mitigated
Negative Declaration for a 7-lot residential subdivision on May 9, 2017.
As a condition of approval of the tentative tract map, the applicant was required to
construct a number of public improvements. The engineer of work for the project
estimated the cost of the improvements for this project as $1.9 million. Improvements
constructed included utility connections, water and sewer mains, two (2) new fire
hydrants, a new public residential street (Rodeo Court), two (2) new ADA compliant

ramps, curbs, gutters, drive approaches, sidewalks, striping, and signage within and
surrounding the development. The project also completed concrete and asphalt repairs
and replacement on Rodeo Drive and Grace Lane.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Improvement plans for the project were issued on September 26, 2019. The
improvements were completed by the developer on January 18, 2021, and “as-built” plans
were approved on January 11, 2021. Required post-construction operation and
maintenance agreements have been executed and are currently being recorded. The
developer is providing the necessary 10% warranty bond to be held for one year from the
time of acceptance. This begins the one-year maintenance period during which the
developer will be responsible for maintenance and repair of the public improvements.
After the one-year maintenance period, the City will take over the maintenance of the
public improvements.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
1. Approve staff’s recommendation;
2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation;
3. Modify as appropriate and approve staff’s recommendation; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
By accepting the public improvements, the City will have ownership of facilities in the
public right of way and within the easements. The project will provide the community with
residential infill and seven (7) new home sites for housing opportunities.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages have been identified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared for this project and was adopted by Council on May 9, 2017.
No further CEQA action is required.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:
The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with
Government Code Section 54954.2.
