IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: None. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution approving Time Extension 20-003. BACKGROUND: On October 3, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 17-2287, approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 13-002 and Planned Unit Development No. 13-002. The approved project consists of the subdivision of 4.6 acres into eleven (11) residential lots. The original approval was set to expire on October 3, 2020; however, as a result of the subject application, the expiration of the map has been extended until the Planning Commission takes action on the application. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: Municipal Code Subsection 16.12.140.C allows the 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 Item 7.c - Page 1 PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION OF TIME EXTENSION 20-003 OCTOBER 6, 2020 PAGE 2 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 obtaining an encroachment permit from Caltrans for work necessary on Highway 227. If approved, the one-year time extension would extend the expiration date of the project to October 3, 2021, in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Commission’s consideration: 1. Adopt the attached Resolution approving Time Extension 20-003; 2. Modify and adopt the attached Resolution approving Time Extension 20-003; 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: Review of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 13-002 and Planned Unit Development 13-002 determined that adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was required for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The granting of a time extension in not anticipated to have any effect on that determination. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT: Per Municipal Code Table 16.12.030-B, a public hearing is not required for approval of a time extension. The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. Item 7.c - Page 2 RESOLUTION NO.
