DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Carson Creek Village 11B Final Map would create a total of 111 residential lots ranging from 4,725 square feet to 12,070 square feet and five (5) lettered lots for the use of landscaping and open space (Attachment E, Exhibit C). The Carson Creek Village 11B Final Map is based on the Carson Creek Tentative Subdivision Map approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 10, 2021 (Legistar No. 21-1182, Item No. 22) (Attachment E, Exhibit D).
Since approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map, there have been no modifications or time extension requests. The Carson Creek Village 11A final map had been approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 22, 2023 (File No. 23-1519, Item No. 16). The Village 11B Final Map conforms to the Approved Carson Creek Tentative Subdivision Map approved on August 10, 2021 (Attachment E, Exhibit D).
The Conditions of Approval Conformance Verification report (Attachment F) verifies compliance of the Final Map with the Tentative Map Conditions of Approval. Affected agencies/departments, including County Department of Transportation (DOT), County Surveyor's Office, and El Dorado Hills Fire Department have reviewed, verified compliance with the conditions, and recommended approval of the Final Map.
Improvement Agreements and Bonds: The applicant has submitted an Agreement to Make Subdivision Improvements and bonds pursuant to Section 120.16.050 of the County Code. DOT has reviewed and approved the cost estimates. County Counsel and Risk Management have reviewed and approved the Improvement Agreement and bonds for the Carson Creek Village 11B Subdivision (Attachments C, D, E).
Water/Wastewater: The El Dorado Irrigation District has provided a Meter Award Letter confirming that the applicant has acquired the required Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU’s) for water and wastewater to serve all of the 111 residential lots (Attachment E, Exhibit E).
Environmental Review: The review of the Final Map is a ministerial process and is Statutorily Exempt from environmental review under Section 15268(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
CFD Agreement: On August 10, 2021 (File No. 21-1182, Item No. 22), the County entered into DA20-0001, a Community Benefit and Development Agreement (DA) with Lennar Homes of California, LLC for the Heritage Carson Creek Village 11 (Attachment H). The DA was effective on September 21, 2021. DA Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.3 include terms to establish a Community Facility District (CFD) to fund a Fiscal Impact Analysis Supplemental Tax and a Supplemental Ambulance Services Tax. These sections include provisions that allow for approval and recordation of final small lot subdivision maps prior to formation of the CFD. On August 22, 2023, (File No. 23-1519, Item No. 16), the Carson Creek Village 11A small lot subdivision final map was approved. However, at that time the CFD had not be established, although the intent to establish this CFD was clearly identified by the action of the Board on May 16, 2023 to authorize the Auditor-Controller to negotiate and execute all necessary negotiate and execute all necessary contracts related to the proposed CFD formation and financing (File No. 23-0793, Item No. 2). This item acknowledged the special tax provisions outlined in DA Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.3.
On March 5, 2024, (File No. 24-0066, Item No. 2), the Board approved Final Passage of Ordinance 5196 Levying Special Taxes for CFD 2024-1 (Carson Creek Heritage 11) to pay for the acquisition, construction, and associated costs of certain public facilities, and to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $35 million for the CFD. An additional CFD must be established to meet the requirements of DA Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.3. Therefore, the applicant has submitted the Agreement Regarding Timing For Completion of Formation of Community Facilities Districts (Attachment G) in order to provide certainty on the establishment of the additional CFD and outline the terms for providing certificates of occupancy for residences constructed within the approved Carson Creek Village 11A final map and the proposed Village 11B final map.
