RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment I) that approves the Final Map 8172, finding that it is in substantial conformance with the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8172 and the conditions of approval thereof; and authorizes the City Manager to take other administrative actions and execute a Subdivision Agreement and such other documents as are appropriate to effectuate the required improvements for the development at 23830 and 23836 Saklan Road and 24137 Eden Avenue in the Mount Eden area (see Attachment II - Vicinity Map).
Body
BACKGROUND
Per State law, tentative and final maps are required for all subdivisions creating five or more parcels. A Tentative Tract Map is required to ensure that any proposed development complies with the State Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, the Hayward General Plan and Neighborhood Plans, the City Subdivision and Zoning ordinances, City Building regulations, and the site specific requirements of the Public Works, Fire, and Police Departments.
After the Tentative Map and Precise Plan are approved, the developer submits the Final Subdivision Map and Improvement Plans for review and approval by the City Engineer (and subsequent recordation of the Final Map after Council review and approval) before proceeding with obtaining building permits for the construction of improvements. The developer is required to file a Tentative Map and Final map so that the thirty-five (35) parcels can be sold or financed individually.
On October 2, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Project to the City Council, comprised of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Zone Change application (No. PL-2014-0083) from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Planned Development (PD), and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8172 (Application No. PL-2014-0083). On October 28, 2014, the City Council approved the Project <http://www.ci.hayward.ca.us/CITY-GOVERNMENT/CITY-COUNCIL-MEETINGS/2014/CCA14PDF/cca102814full.pdf> with conditions.
On April 27, 2015, Meritage Homes of California submitted the Preliminary Improvement Plans and Final Map to the City for review and approval.
DISCUSSION
The Subdivision Improvement Plans and Final Map were reviewed by the City Engineer and were found to be in substantial compliance with approved Tentative Map 8172, and in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act and Hayward’s regulations. The City Public Works Director has determined that there have not been significant changes to the Final Map, as compared to the Tentative Tract Map that the City Council approved in October of 2014.
The City Council’s approval of the Final Map shall not become effective until and unless the Developer enters into a Subdivision Agreement and posts bonds with the City for the construction of improvements and other obligations required per conditions of approval of the tentative tract map. The developer has submitted Improvement Plans and subdivision bonds for the required tract improvements as required.
Environmental Review - The development of Tract 8172 was previously reviewed under a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted for the development and approved by the City Council on October 28, 2014.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACTS
The Final Map approval is consistent with the approved project and the Final Map, by itself, will not have a fiscal or economic impact.
PUBLIC CONTACT
A public hearing is not required for the filing of a Final Map for Tract 8172. Public hearings were already conducted for the Project and Tentative Map Tract 8172, of which Final Map Tract 8172 is part.
NEXT STEPS
Assuming the City Council approves the Final Map, the applicant will have the final map recorded, obtain construction permits, and commence the construction of improvements shown on the approved Improvement Plans.
