TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 13-002 AND PLANNED UNIT

MAP ACT AND ARROYO GRANDE MUNICIPAL CODE; LOCATION –
CORBETT CANYON ROAD (TRACT 2985); APPLICANT – SCOTT
PACE; REPRESENTATIVE – TONY COSCIA
D ATE: OCTOBER 6, 2020
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 October 3, 2021.
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

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.
