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 City Council approve an Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment, Eight Mile Road Specific Plan Amendment, Annexation, Pre-zoning and Development Agreement. On September 14, 2004, 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 off 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.
Up to the present time, City Council has approved five final maps that created 499 residential lots, a school, public rights-of-ways, and easements.
Present Situation
LGI Homes - California, LLC submitted the final map to complete the subdivision process for the earlier approved Tentative Maps. The subdivision name is Cannery Park Unit No. 8 (Village E1), Tract No. 3691, and will subdivide the 24.40-acre project site into 129 lots for the construction of single-family residential homes, three non-residential lots (Lots B, C & D), and street right-of-way. The residential lot sizes, ranging from 5,125 to 10,751 square feet, will be provided access through the project site to public streets. The non-residential lots' purpose is as follows: Lot B is dedicated to San Joaquin County Flood and Water Conservation District for levee purposes, Lot C is for pedestrian access, and Lot D is for public park purposes.
Staff reviewed the Final Map and Subdivision applications and determined that all conditions necessary for approval are 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 recommends forwarding the final map, subdivision agreement, and any offers of dedication to the City Council for consideration and approval.
The subdivision agreement 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 authorizes recordation of the final map. It is recommended that Council adopt the proposed resolution as LGI Homes - California, LLC 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 $168,988.95 and deposited in various development fees in the Development Services Fund and Street Sign Public Facility Fee Fund. These fees are described in detail in Exhibit A to the proposed Subdivision Agreement. All other fees will be assessed at the time building permits are issued.
CFD No. 2019-1 will provide funding for the necessary infrastructure improvements and on-going City services related to police, fire, parks, roads, and open space to support the project development. There is no financial impact to the City as a result of the execution of the subdivision agreement.
