DISCUSSION /BACKGROUND
Request to consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission on the Story project (SP-R23-0002) Specific Plan Amendment to the PSP to Rezone Lot 39 from PRHLL to Promontory Large Lot PRLL for an existing 0.59-acre parcel located within the PSP Village 6 Unit 2B identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 124-230-001, in the El Dorado Hills area, submitted by Scott Story, the property owner.
At the March 13, 2025 (Legistar file 25-0388), public hearing, the Planning Commission deliberated on the item, took public testimony, and recommended to the Board of Supervisors the following actions: 1) Approve the CEQA Exemption consistent with Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines pursuant to Section 21083 and 21084 of the California Public Resources Code; 2) Approve the proposed amendment to the Promontory Specific Plan which would allow for the Rezone of Lot 39 as identified on the Promontory Village 6 Unit 2B Tentative Map; and 3) Approve the proposed Rezone of Lot 39 as identified on the Promontory Village 6 Unit 2B Tentative Map from PRHLL to PRLL as presented by staff (Attachment V, Exhibit B). The motion passed with a 3-0 vote (two members were absent).
Approval of the Rezone will necessitate two additional actions, which the applicant is aware of. First, if the Rezone is approved by the Board the applicant shall process a Certificate of Correction through the County Surveyor’s Office to remove a Notice of Restriction as shown on the Final Map of the Promontory Village 6 Unit 2B for Lot 39 (Attachment G). Secondly, the Planning Division will confirm approval of the revised Lot Notebook for Lot 39 as approved by the Promontory Architectural Review Committee on March 27, 2025 (Attachment H).
ALTERNATIVES
The Board may elect to continue the item to a date certain for additional information and future action; continue the item off-calendar, which would require a new public notice for future consideration and action; or deny the request. A denial action would result in a request to have the item be continued to a date certain so that staff can prepare Findings for Denial.
