DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Saratoga Estates Villages 2A, 2B, 2C, and 3 are part of the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map (TM14-1520), a 317-lot residential subdivision approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board), on September 13, 2016 (Exhibit G). An administrative minor revision to the map, involving site layout modifications, was approved by the Planning and Building Department Director (Director) on January 21, 2017 (Exhibit H). A finding of consistency with the administrative minor revision to the map was approved by the Director on August 22, 2017 (Exhibit I). A second administrative revision to the map, which added the phasing plan and re-configured open space and landscaping lots, was approved by the Director on March 15, 2019 (Exhibit J). A Large Lot Final Map (Exhibit K) and Small Lot Final Maps for Villages 1A (80 residential lots) and 1B (35 residential lots) were approved by the Board on February 11, 2020. These units have subsequently been recorded and are currently under construction.
The Final Map for Saratoga Estates Village 2A would create 60 residential lots, four (4) lettered lot, and one (1) future development lot on an 11.01-acre portion of the subject property (Exhibit C). The Final Map for Saratoga Estates Village 2B would create 43 residential lots on an 8.89-acre portion of the subject property (Exhibit D). The Final Map for Saratoga Estates Village 2C would create 43 residential lots and one (1) lettered lot on a 10.36-acre portion of the subject property (Exhibit E). The Final Map for Saratoga Estates Village 3 would create 56 residential lots, three (3) private road lots, and five (5) lettered lots, on a 17.23-acre portion of the subject property (Exhibit F). These four (4) Final Maps conform to the approved Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map as revised. Upon being recorded, these four (4) phases would complete the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision.
Exhibits L through O detail the verification of the Final Map for conformance with the approved Conditions of Approval for Villages 2A, 2B, 2C, and 3 within the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map. County departments and affected outside agencies, including the Department of Transportation, the Surveyor's Office, and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department, have recommended approval of the map. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement, including associated bonds, has been approved by the Department of Transportation for the Saratoga Estates Village 2A, 2B, 2C, and 3 Subdivisions, subject to authorization by the Board Chair.
Environmental Review: The review of the Final Maps is a ministerial process and is Statutorily Exempt from environmental review under Section 15268(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
