DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Carson Creek Unit 2A, Phase 2 is the second Final Map proposed to be recorded in accordance with the approved Tentative Subdivision Map. The Carson Creek Unit 2 Tentative Subdivision Map was originally approved by the Planning Commission in December 2012 creating a total of 634 age-restricted residential lots in 27 large lots for phasing purposes (Exhibit C). A minor revision to the tentative map was approved in July 2015 (Legistar # 15-0761). The Final Map for Carson Creek Unit 2A, Phase 1, creating a total of 186 lots consisting of 170 residential lots, 10 lettered lots, 6 large lots, and Investment Boulevard, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 24, 2017 (Legistar # 15-0761).
The expiration date for the original Tentative Map was December 13, 2017; however, the applicant has timely filed an Extension Request application with the Planning Department on September 12, 2017, prior to the expiration date of December 13, 2017.
The Carson Creek Unit 2A, Phase 2 Final Map is within the Carson Creek Specific Plan and complies with the approved Tentative Subdivision Map and Conditions of Approval (Exhibit D). The 141-lot map consists of 139 residential lots with a minimum lot size of 4,725 square feet and two lettered lots. Lot G is designated as a 4.649-acre public park and Lot R is designated as a private street lot. Exhibit E details the Final Map’s conformance with the approved Tentative Map Conditions of Approval. County departments and affected outside agencies, including the El Dorado Hills Fire Department, Department of Transportation, and County Surveyor’s Office, have reviewed and recommended approval of the map. A meter award letter from El Dorado Irrigation District has been secured for public water, recycled water, and sewer services for the subdivision (Exhibit F). The Subdivision Improvement Agreement for the subdivision has been approved by the Department of Transportation, subject to authorization by the Board Chair.
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 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because it is within the Carson Creek Specific Plan which had an Environmental Impact Report certified.
