DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
A request to consider Parcel Map Amendment P-C19-0001/Silva Parcel Map Amendment submitted by Keith Silva to amend Parcel Map 046-074 to reduce an existing non-buildable easement from 50 feet to 25 feet. The property, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 042-690-32, consisting of 5 acres, is located on the west side of Amber Trail at the intersection with Spirit Lane in the Pollock Pines Rural Center, Supervisorial District 5.
The subject parcel was created by Parcel Map 046-074 (Exhibit E) recorded in 1997 after being approved by the Board on June 24, 1993 under Parcel Map and Zone Change project P92-0041/Z92-0032. The recorded map imposed easements on the parcel (Lot 2) including a 25-foot wide road and public utilities easement on the southern property line, a 50-foot wide non-exclusive road and public utilities easement on the northern part of the east property line, a 60-foot wide road and public utilities easement on the north property line, and the subject 50-foot wide non-buildable easement. The subject easement acts as a buffer from the center line of drainage for an intermittent stream that is a distributary of Weber Creek.
The Parcel Map Amendment is Categorically Exempt from requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15305 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Minor Alterations to Land Use Limitations.
A Staff Memo dated March 26, 2019 is attached.
