DISCUSSION
Background
On August 12, 2004, the Planning Commission approved a Small Lot and Large Lot Tentative Subdivision Map (TM 8-04 A&B) for the Cannery Park Mixed Use Project and recommended that the City Council approve an Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment, Eight Mile Road Specific Plan Amendment, Annexation, Prezoning and Development Agreement. On September 14, 2004, the City Council approved the Planning Commission and Staff recommendations. The Project proposed to develop a 448-acre project site with 1,100 single-family lots, 210 multi-family units, commercial retail and office, industrial parks, a school, and a fire station.
The Tentative Small Lot Map 8-04A shows how the proposed site would be divided up into smaller parcels, creating the residential lots, a lot for multi-family, 49 lots for light industrial and commercial, and lots for the fire station, parks, school, and various accessory lots. The Tentative Large Lot Map shows how the proposed site would be divided up into 17 large lots to provide the developer an opportunity to sell larger blocks of developable land while site development is underway. The tentative maps were approved subject to specified conditions to be met upon subdivision of the project site.
The City Council approved the formation of the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2019-1 for Cannery Park II to levy Special Taxes within the CFD to finance the construction of capital infrastructure and on-going services related to police, fire, parks, roads, and open space.
On February 8, 2024, the Planning Commission approved a Tentative Subdivision Map (TM P21-0435) for the Cannery Park Mixed Use Project, and on April 2, 2024, the City Council approved the associated General Plan Amendment, Rezone, EIR Addendum, and Development Agreement (extending the existing by 10 years).
Up to the present time, the City Council has approved eleven final maps that created 967 residential lots, a school, public rights-of-ways, and easements.
Present Situation
Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc. submitted a final map to complete the subdivision process for the earlier approved Tentative Maps. The subdivision name is Cannery Park Unit No. 13 (Village H), Tract No. 4208, and will subdivide the 11.868-acre project site into 64 lots for the construction of single-family residential homes and street right-of-way dedication. The residential lot sizes, ranging from 5,000 to 9,600 square feet, will be provided access through the project site to public streets.
Staff reviewed the Final Map and Subdivision applications and determined that all conditions necessary for approval were met. This includes preparing improvement plans for all proposed public streets and utilities to be constructed within the subdivision, dedicating right-of-way easements, paying proportionate share fees towards off-site improvement costs, and posting security bonds to guarantee the subdivision improvements.
The Final Map was reviewed by the City Engineer for technical accuracy, substantial conformance with the approved tentative maps, and the required conditions are completed or incorporated within a Subdivision Agreement. The City Engineer recommended forwarding the Final Map, Subdivision Agreement, and any offers of dedication to the City Council for consideration and approval. Pursuant to Government Code § 66474.1, a legislative body shall not deny approval of a final map if it is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map.
The Subdivision Agreement (Exhibit 1 to the proposed resolution) contains the developer’s obligations for project site development. The proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the Subdivision Agreement, accept on behalf of the public all offers of dedication, and authorize the recordation of the final map. It is recommended that the Council adopt the proposed resolution as Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc. fulfilled all necessary conditions.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The costs of creating the Subdivision Agreement, including plan checking, inspection, map filing, and computer mapping services provided by City staff, have been paid by the subdivider in the amount of $224,801.46 and deposited in various fee accounts in the Development Services Fund and Street Sign Public Facility Fee Fund. These fees and deposits are described in detail in Exhibit A of the Subdivision Agreement. All other fees will be assessed at the time building permits are issued.
Cannery Park, Unit No. 13 (Village H) will be incorporated into CFD No. 2019-1, which provides funding for the necessary infrastructure improvements and ongoing City services related to police, fire, parks, roads, and open space to support the project development. There is no financial impact to the City because of the execution of the Subdivision Agreement. The developer bears the costs to construct the required infrastructure improvements and development of the subdivision.
