Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors approved the Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map (TM14-1520), a 317-lot residential subdivision ranging in size from 5,972 square feet to 23,516 square feet, on September 13, 2016 (Exhibit C). An administrative minor revision to the map, involving site layout modifications, was approved by the Planning Director on January 21, 2017 (Exhibit D). A finding of consistency with the administrative minor revision to the map was approved by the Planning Director on August 22, 2017 (Exhibit E). A second administrative revision to the map, which added the phasing plan and re-configured open space and landscaping lots, was approved by the Planning Director on March 15, 2019 (Exhibit F).
In accordance with the Subdivision Map Act Section 66456, this Final Map would create a total of 18 large lots for financing and phasing purposes consisting of three future residential development lots and 15 lettered lots consistent with the approved Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map (Exhibit G). No residential development or agreements for subdivision improvements are necessary for the approval of the Large Lot Final Map. Given that no development is proposed with this request, none of the conditions of approval are triggered and, therefore, are not applicable to the approval of the Large Lot Final Map. Subsequent Final Map(s) for development phases based on the approved Saratoga Estates Tentative Subdivision Map shall be further verified for conformance with all applicable conditions of approval under separate future Small-Lot Final Map applications.
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.
