VILLAGE 21 IS NO LONGER NEEDED FOR ITS
DEDICATED PURPOSE AND ACCEPT AN
IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION OF ROAD
RIGHT- OF- WAYFOR THE CAUFIELD WAY EXTENSION
FROM CALIFIA, LLC
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution to Find that a Portion of Parcel B of Tract 4219, Village 21 is No Longer Needed for its
Dedicated Purpose and Accept an Irrevocable Offer
of Dedication of Road Right -Of -Way for the Caufield
Way Extension from Califia, LLC
SUMMARY:
The Final Map for Tract 4219, River Islands Phase 2, Village 21 ( Tract 4219) was approved by City Council on June 3, 2024 and recorded on July 2, 2024 in Book 44 of Maps and Plats at Page 104, San Joaquin County Records. As part of that map, Parcels A through I, including Parcel B, were dedicated in fee to the City of Lathrop for purposes of open space, landscaping, public utilities, fence maintenance, and appurtenances thereto, for the benefit of the public. The Tract 4219 Final Map expressly provides that the City shall reconvey any such parcel to the subdivider if the City determines, pursuant to Government Code Section 66477. 5, that the same purpose for which the property was dedicated does not exist. The public improvements associated with Tract 4219 have not yet been accepted by the City.
A portion of Parcel B must now be dedicated as road right- of- way to allow for the extension of Caufield Way, which will provide the Village 21 neighborhood with direct vehicular access to River Islands Parkway. Staff requests that City Council find that the subject portion of Parcel B is no longer needed for its originally dedicated purpose of open space, landscaping, public utilities, fence maintenance, and appurtenances thereto, and instead is needed for road right- of- way purposes consistent with the planned circulation system for the River Islands Phase 2 project. Upon that finding, Califia, LLC, as the original subdivider of Tract 4219, will offer the subject strip as an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of road right- of- way to the City of Lathrop. The Irrevocable Offer of Dedication is included as Attachment " B." Staff recommend that City Council adopt the Resolution included as Attachment " A" making the finding contemplated in the Tract 4219 Final Map' s reconveyance clause and accept the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of road right- of- way for the Caufield Way extension from Califia, LLC.

JULY 13, 2026 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
FIND THAT A PORTION OF PARCEL B OF TRACT 4219, VILLAGE 21 IS NO
LONGER NEEDED FOR ITS DEDICATED PURPOSE AND ACCEPT AN
IRREVOCABLE OFFER OF DEDICATION OF ROAD RIGHT- OF- WAY FOR THE
CAUFIELD WAY EXTENSION FROM CALIFIA, LLC
BACKGROUND:
On June 14, 2021, the City of Lathrop City Council adopted resolutions and ordinances approving the River Islands modified Phase 2 Project and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map ( VTM) 6716. On November 14, 2022, City Council approved Tract 4149 West Village Large Lot Final Map ( LLFM) to create 34 undevelopable parcels. On March 25, 2024, City Council approved Tract 4205 Woodlands East LLFM to create 23 undevelopable parcels. The Final Map for Tract 4219, Village 21 was subsequently approved by City Council on June 3, 2024, subdividing Parcel 9 of Tract 4205 into 133 residential lots and Parcels A through I, which were dedicated in fee to the City of Lathrop for purposes of open space, landscaping, public utilities, fence maintenance, and appurtenances thereto, for the benefit of the public.
The Tract 4219 Final Map dedicated Caufield Way as a public right- of- way easement to the City of Lathrop. However, the dedication of Caufield Way as shown on the Final Map does not extend through Parcel B to connect with River Islands Parkway.
As a result, the Village 21 neighborhood currently lacks a direct roadway connection to River Islands Parkway via Caufield Way. To complete this connection, a portion of Parcel B must be dedicated as road right- of- way, extending Caufield Way from its current terminus through Parcel B to River Islands Parkway.
Government Code Section 66477. 5provides that if a local agency has determined that the same public purpose for which a dedication was required does not exist, it shall reconvey the property to the subdivider. The Tract 4219 Final Map includes an express reconveyance clause referencing Government Code Section 66477. 5, stating that the City shall reconvey any dedicated parcel to the subdivider upon such a finding. Because the subject strip of Parcel B is needed for road right- of- way rather than the open space, landscaping, public utilities, fence maintenance, and appurtenances purposes for which it was originally dedicated in fee, the City Council is requested to make the finding contemplated in that reconveyance clause.
Concurrently, Califia, LLC, as the original subdivider, will execute and deliver the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of the subject strip as road right- of- way to the City of Lathrop pursuant to Government Code Section 7050, with the reconveyance and rededication occurring as part of this Council action.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Making the finding under Government Code Section 66477. 5 and accepting the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication of road right- of- way for the Caufield Way extension is necessary to establish the City' slegal right- of- way interest over the subject portion of Parcel B, enabling the design, permitting, and construction of the Caufield Way extension. Completing this connection will provide the Village 21 neighborhood with direct access to River Islands Parkway, improving circulation for residents.
