SUMMARY:

 

Approval of Final Parcel Map 2018-194, located in the unincorporated North Tustin area, and actions related to the dedication of an easement for public street and public utilities purposes will provide for the potential widening of Fairhaven Avenue.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The subject property was previously developed as a single-family home and a detached garage/storage building. Both were demolished in December 2018. The site abuts both Fairhaven Avenue and Old Foothill Boulevard. The property is generally flat and level. The vicinity is developed primarily with single family homes on parcels of a similar size as is proposed with this map.

 

On July 17, 2019, the Subdivision Committee considered and approved Tentative Parcel Map 2018-194, a proposal to subdivide a 30,961 square foot property into two parcels, each approximately 15,000 square feet in area. No property improvements were proposed with the application. Tentative Parcel Map 2018-194 was due to expire on July 17, 2022; however, in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and the County of Orange’s (County) Subdivision Code, the subdivider submitted an application for an extension of time. The request for the extension of time automatically extends the map to September 17, 2022, and would allow sufficient time for the Board of Supervisors to consider the Final Map.  

 

After the approval or conditional approval of a Tentative Map, the subdivider is required, pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, to prepare a Final Map and file the Final Map with the County for review and approval. The subdivider is not required to immediately file a Final Map, but is required to file the Final Map prior to the expiration of an approved Tentative Map or, if the Tentative Map expires, the subdivider must reapply for approval or conditional approval of a Tentative Map. The purpose of the Final Map process is to ensure that the map to be recorded substantially conforms to the approved Tentative Map, and all Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Map have been completed and complied with prior to the approval and/or recordation of the Final Map. Final Maps are frequently considered a significant time after a Tentative Map is approved, as multiple plan checks may be required to confirm compliance with conditions of approval, which can extend the review process.

 

The County Surveyor has reviewed proposed Final Parcel Map 2018-194 and has determined that it complies with all conditions of approval for the Tentative Map and conforms to all applicable codes and regulations.

 

County acceptance of the dedication of the easement shown on Final Parcel Map 2018-194 provides for public utility and public service vehicle access for purposes of public health, welfare and safety.

 

Compliance with CEQA: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt (Class 15) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15315, because it consists of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential use into four or fewer parcels and in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, and no variances or exceptions are required.
