Title
Hearing to consider rezone (Z06-0028) of 8.22 acres (APN 124-311-17) from Estate Residential Five-acre (RE-5) to One-acre Residential (R1A); and tentative parcel map (P06-0024) to create two parcels, Parcel 1 consisting of 6.9 acres and Parcel 2 consisting of 1.1 acres; and design waiver of an on-site road width improvement for Parcel 1 to 24 feet per Standard Plan 101C and design waiver of an on-site road width improvement requirement for Parcel 2 to 28 feet per Standard Plan 101B in the El Dorado Hills area; and adoption of Ordinance 4730 for same. Applicant: Scott Lewis (District I).
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Planning Commission recommends the Board take the following action: 1. Adopt the negative declaration, as prepared; and 2. Approve Z06-0028/P06-0024, based on the findings listed on Attachment 1, subject to the conditions listed on Attachment 2; and 3. Deny the requested design waivers and the required findings cannot be made.
Background: These applications were considered by the Planning Commission on May 24, 2007, and recommended for approval on a 3-2 vote. The applicant was present and explained his proposal. Several property owners in the area voiced concern regarding the one-acre zoning, as the size of the parcel would not be consistent with the existing CC&Rs for the area. During the hearing, staff commented that a change in zoning to two-acre rather than one-acre zoning would benefit the applicant, as the road improvements would be less severe. The applicant elected to proceed with his original request, one-acre zoning on a portion of the parcel (see Exhibit A, Parcel 2), and the balance of the parcel will remain RE-5. There were no new significant issues discussed other than those in the staff report.
