DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
This is a request to consider Final Subdivision Map Amendment TM-C18-0001 (TM97-1330-F)/Silver Springs Unit 1 Subdivision submitted by Blue Mountain Communities to amend recorded Silver Springs Unit 1 Subdivision Map J-80 by reconfiguring ten residential lots (Nos. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33; Nos. 7 and 8; and Nos. 14 and 15) into eight lots. The property, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 115-430-28, 115-430-29, 115-430-30, 115-430-31, 115-430-32, 115-430-33; and 115-430-07, 115-430-08; and 115-430-14, 115-430-15, consisting of 3.593 acres, is located on the east side of Silver Springs Parkway, approximately 1,400 feet south of the intersection with Green Valley Road, in the El Dorado Hills area, Supervisorial District 1. (County Planner: Mark Millard) (Previously certified Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 199707021)
The Silver Springs Tentative Subdivision Map (TM97-1330) was approved by the Board on December 15, 1998. The approved, phased subdivision consisted of 258 lots ranging in size from 0.24 acre to 29.4 acres (Exhibit F).
Unit 1 of the Silver Springs Subdivision was recorded on September 28, 2006, consisting of 53 lots ranging in size from 0.243 to 0.538 acre (approximately 17.720 acres, Exhibits G-1, through Exhibit G-6). The balance of 203 lots (181 residential, 11 Open Space, 10 future, 1 church, 1 park, 1 school) are for subsequent Phases 2 and 3. The tentative subdivision map is due to expire in March of 2020.
Since the original tentative map approval and the finalizing of Unit 1, market forces and community preferences in size, shape, and style of single family residences has changed significantly. In response to these changes, the applicant filed this tentative subdivision map amendment on September 17, 2018, for the proposed lot reconfigurations.
A Staff Memo dated April 24, 2019 is attached.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board may elect to approve the project with changes to the Conditions of Approval; 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 application. A denial action may need to be continued to a date certain so that staff can prepare Findings for Denial.
