1. NEW BUSINESS
1-A. ONE-YEAR TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE MAP NO. 73741 (TM-18-01) – 130-206 SOUTH CHANDLER AVENUE, ALSO IDENTIFIED BY ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBERS 5257-004-019, 5257-004-020, AND 5257-004-021 Latigo Canyon Development, LLC (“Applicant”) requests a one-year extension for its tentative map. This application results from a series of actions concerning a 40- unit senior housing complex at 130-206 South Chandler Avenue. Consideration of this project commenced in 2016 and was most recently considered in 2023. At that time, the City Council extended the tentative map for the project (TM -18-01) until April 1, 2024. Without additional Council action to extend TM-18-01, however, the tentative map will expi re on August 12, 2024. Other parts of the overall project, e.g., the conditional use permit, will require noticing and a public hearing before the City Council at a later date.
Adopting the proposed resolution would extend the expiration date for TM -18-01 until April 1, 2025.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the extension under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively. This activity contemplates extending the expiration date of a tentative map and is for general policies and procedure- making. Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review. Additionally, the environmental impacts regarding this request were adequately reviewed in accordance with the IS/MND adopted by Resolution No. 12135. Consequently, the findings set forth in Section 3 of Resolution No. 12135 are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
Public Speaker:
- Steven P. Scandura, Attorney from the Law Offices of Steven P. Scandura, provided general information and was available for questions.
Action Taken: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024- R64 approving a time extension for Tentative Map No. 73741 (TM-18-01).
