MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BY: MATTHEW DOWNING, PLANNING MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF TIME EXTENSION 17-001 AND 17-002; ONE
YEAR TIME EXTENSIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SUBDIVISION MAP ACT AND ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL
CODE; LOCATION – PEARWOOD AVENUE (TRACT 3017 AND
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 09-003); APPLICANT – CITY OF
ARROYO GRANDE
DATE: MARCH 21, 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission:
1. Adopt a Resolution approving a time extension for Tract 3017; and
2. Adopt a Resolution approving a time extension for Tentative Parcel Map 09-
003.
IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 2009, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 10-2104,
approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 09-007 and Planned Unit Development
No. 09-002. The Planning Commission also adopted Resolution No. 10-2105,
approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 09-003. The two projects consist of the
subdivision of 7.16 acres of former Redevelopment Agency property into four (4)
residential lots and one (1) open space lot and the subdivision of 0.87 acres into two
(2) residential parcels. The two projects were processed and approved concurrently
for access purposes. The original approvals were set to expire on June 1, 2011;
however, as a result of State Law during the Great Recession, the expiration of the
maps was extended until June 1, 2016.
When the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (City Council) began
consideration of the disposition of the Pearwood property, it was noted that an
extension of time was necessary for the maps and the request was made to the City

Engineer to process the time extension. Due to the City Engineer’s departure from
his employment with the City, this item was put on hold. Renewed purchase interest
has revived the need to take formal action on the Time Extension by the Planning
Commission. 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 the
Planning Commission takes action on the time extension.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Municipal Code Subsection 16.12.140.C allows the Planning Commission 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 projects to be injurious to the
public health, safety, or welfare. Additionally, the City has been working toward the
sale of the Pearwood Tract for the purchaser to final the map for the project.
If approved, the one-year time extension would extend the expiration date of the
project to March 21, 2018, and the owners would be eligible to apply for two (2)
additional one-year time extensions, 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:
• Adopt the attached Resolutions approving time extensions for Tract 3017 and
Tentative Parcel Map 09-003;
• Modify and adopt the attached Resolutions approving time extensions for
Tract 3017 and Tentative Parcel Map 09-003;
• Do not adopt the attached Resolutions, provide specific findings and direct
staff to return with Resolutions denying the time extensions; or
• Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
Approving the requested time extensions will maintain the viability of approved
projects, will allow the Successor Agency to sell a entitled subdivision, and will
continue cooperative efforts with the neighboring property owner for mutually
beneficial land profitability, consistent with the Subdivision Map Act.
DISADVANTAGES:
No disadvantages associated with approval of the requested time extensions 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 time extensions 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.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT:
Per Municipal Code Table 16.12.030-B, a public hearing is not required for approval
of time extensions. The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in
accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.
