STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Per Chapter 25, Division 6, Section 25.165 of the City of Fairfield Municipal Code, prior to City Council’s approval of a final map, the developer shall enter into an agreement with the City to construct the proposed improvements. The recommended ac tion approves the final map, authorizes the city engineer to accept the subdivision design drawings for construction, and authorizes execution of the subdivision improvement agreement (Agreement) for the Canon Station Planning Area 5 – Neighborhood C subdivision (Subdivision).
DISCUSSION
One Lake Holding, LLC (Developer) is proposing to construct the Subdivision within Planning Area 5 of the Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP). Planning Area 5’s Master Planned Unit Development (MPUD) entitlements were previously adopted by Planning Commission per Resolution No. 2021- 22, as subsequently amended by an administrative hearing held on April 15, 2024, for project number PDA2024-001.
The council’s approval of the final map for this Subdivision will allow the Devel oper to construct 65 single-family residential homes in Planning Area 5. Separately, this final map also creates 19
privately-owned and maintained pedestrian realm parcels, which shall be granted to the future homeowner’s association.
Per Section 5.8.1.6 of the Development Agreement (DA) executed between the City and the Developer, the City has the authority to assign Transportation Improvements, as defined in the DA, up to a total value equivalent to 2,125 dwelling units (EDU). The Developer is currently collaborating with City staff to determine the most efficient and cost -effective construction phasing plan for Vanden Road. Instead of assigning Transportation Improvements as part of this Subdivision, to prevent any unnecessary delays, the Developer has a greed to satisfy the earlier of either (1) amending the DA to include Vanden Road phasing and construction completion deadlines, or (2) paying the full impact fees for all building permits within the subdivision prior to December 31, 2025.
As part of the development obligations, the Developer will be providing dust control by frequently applying water to the site throughout construction, which is a typical mitigation measure. The proposed improvements will have no traffic impacts, as the improvements contemplated are outside of any active public roadways. Additionally, the Developer will minimize disturbances to nearby residents by working within the allowed construction hours, between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and providing public outreach to notify residen ts of any anticipated construction impacts.
Approval of the final map and execution of the Agreement will obligate the Developer to construct all public and private improvements, including streets, underground utilities, streetlights, and pedestrian sidewalk, to serve future residents of the proposed subdivision.
The Developer has provided all the necessary bonds and insurance and has paid the fees required to enter into this Agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City in constructing the public improvements contemplated under the Agreement. Acceptance of the public improvements by the council will obligate the City to maintain the public improvements, which include public roadways (Trailblaze Drive, Scooter Lane, Freeform Drive, Volley Drive) and all public water, sewer, storm utilities located within these streets. The future homeowner’s association shall maintain improvements within the pedestrian realm, which include landscape, irrigation, streetlights, and sidewalks. Maintenance costs shall be funded by the newly formed Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP) Community Facilities Districts (CFD) No. 2023-1 and CFD No. 2023-2.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Sections 66458 and 66462 of the Subdivision Map Act require that the council approve the Agreement if conditions of the tentative map have been met. The Developer has met the necessary conditions and has provided the proper documents for the Agreement; however, if the council has any remaining questions approval may be postponed until the questions are addressed.
