BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The area depicted in Final Tract Map (FTM) 19302 is located in the southeastern portion of unincorporated Orange County, east of Ranch Canyon and north of Cow Camp Road, at the southeast corner of the intersection of Lamkin Lane and Legado Road, within the Ranch Plan Planned Community (RPPC). The tract is located within Planning Area 3, Subarea 3.3 of the RPPC.

 

On November 8, 2004, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a General Plan Amendment (Resolution No. 04-291); Zone Change (Resolution No. 04-292 and Ordinance No. 04-014); Development Agreement (Resolution No. 04-293 and Ordinance No. 04-015); and adopted Resolution No. 04-290, certifying Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 589 as complete, adequate and in full compliance with the requirements of CEQA for the entire 22,815-acre area of the RPPC.

 

Subsequent settlement agreements regarding regional transportation impacts associated with implementation of the RPPC and the appropriate/desired scope of biological resource protection to be implemented within the boundaries of the RPPC were finalized in August 2005.

 

The Master Area Plans and Subarea Plans for Planning Areas 3 and 4, including Subarea 3.3, were originally approved on February 25, 2015, by the Planning Commission (PC) (PA140072 - PA140081) and revised administratively on May 22, 2017 (PA150047). On September 11, 2019, the PC approved amendments and revisions to the Master Area Plans and Subarea Plans for Planning Areas 3 and 4 (PA180030) that reflect plans to develop Planning Area 3 in smaller phases. Additional administrative revisions to the Master Area Plans and Subarea Plans for Planning Areas 3 and 4 were approved in October 2022 (PA22-0067). FTM 17933 for Subarea 3.3 was approved by the Board on June 25, 2024. On November 20, 2024, the Orange County Subdivision Committee approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) 19302 for Subarea 3.3. FTM 19302 represents development plans for apportion of Subarea 3.3, as proposed by the owner/subdivider of the project, TH Rancho Mission Viejo MR 45-2 LLC. FTM 19302, as attached hereto as Attachment L, is in substantial compliance with the approved VTTM 19302.

 

FTM 19302 is generally located in southeastern unincorporated Orange County, east of Ranch Canyon and north of Cow Camp Road, at the southeast corner of the intersection of Lamkin Lane and Legado Road, as shown on Attachment K, attached hereto. FTM 19302 provides for the development of 64 numbered lots for residential development, as well as 5 lettered lots for landscape/open space areas and a private court.

 

The County of Orange (County) Surveyor has reviewed proposed FTM 19302 and has determined that it complies with all conditions of approval and conforms to all applicable codes and regulations.

 

County acceptance of the dedication of the easements shown on FTM 19302 provides for emergency access, public utility and public service vehicle ingress and egress for purposes of public health, welfare and safety.

 

Compliance with CEQA: The project is a necessarily included element of the projects considered in Final EIR No. 584 (Southern Subregion Natural Community Conservation Plan/Master Streambed Alteration Agreement/Habitat Conservation Plan) and Final EIR No. 589 (RPPC General Plan Amendment/Zoning Change/Development Agreement), which was certified by the Board on November 8, 2004, and October 24, 2006, respectively, together with the following addenda: Addendum 1.0 to Final EIR No. 589, approved on July 26, 2006, by the PC (PA06-0023); Addendum 1.1 to Final EIR No. 589, approved on February 24, 2011, by the Interim Director of OC Public Works (PA11-0003 through PA110006); Planning Area 2 Addendum to Final EIR No. 589, approved on March 27, 2013, by the PC (PA130001 through PA130004 and PA130006); and Addendum 3.1 to Final EIR No. 589, approved February 25, 2015, by the PC (PA140072-81). These documents adequately addressed the effects of the proposed project. No substantial changes have been made in the project; no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken; and no new information of substantial importance to the project that was not known or could not have been known when Final EIR No. 584, Final EIR No. 589, Addendum 1.0, Addendum 1.1, Planning Area 2 Addendum and Addendum 3.1 were certified and approved; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
