Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Subdivision Map Amendments are required to be reviewed and approved by the original hearing body. The subject parcel was created by Subdivision Map “Barnett Business Park” G-49 (Staff Memo Exhibit H), recorded in May 1986 after approval by the Board of Supervisors. The recorded map imposed easements on the parcel (Lot 7) including a 20-foot non-buildable setback adjacent to both Trade Way and Product Drive which are along the southern and eastern property lines. The setbacks are described on the recorded map as five-feet on both sides of all side lot lines, and the rear ten-feet of lots in this subdivision, and twenty-foot building setback and a twenty-foot slope easement contiguous to all streets, roads, drives, and courts shown hereon, or five-feet beyond the top of cut or toe of fill, whichever is larger.
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the recorded map to reduce the 20-foot front setback to 10-feet for the purpose of building a rockery retaining wall along Trade Way and Product Drive which would align with the existing rockery retaining wall on the adjacent two lots, Lot 8 and Lot 9 (Staff Memo Exhibit G). The standard front setback for the Commercial General (CG) zone is 10-feet so the project would meet the standard zoning setbacks.
In order to approve the map amendment, the County must find that the amended map complies with the Government Code and make specific findings pursuant to Section 120.72.040 of the County’s Subdivision Ordinance. Staff found that these findings could be made to show that this project adheres to and is within these standards as set forth. These and applicable General Plan findings are presented in the Staff Memo.
Staff has reviewed the proposed map amendment for Lot 7 with Subdivision Map G-49 “Barnett Business Park” for compliance with the applicable conditions of approval and all applicable conditions have been satisfied (Staff Memo Exhibit H). Affected agencies/departments, including the El Dorado County Department of Transportation, Environmental Management Department, County Surveyor’s, PG&E, and the Cameron Park Fire Department, have reviewed, verified compliance with the conditions, and/or recommended approval of the amended setback line. No other agencies provided comments, conditions, or concerns.
Environmental Review: The review of the map amendment is a discretionary process and is Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15305-Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
