ITEM NO: 5.7
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-10, of the City Council of the City of Patterson, to Set a Public Hearing for the Proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps “A” and “B” in the Keystone Ranch Development Area.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to Adopt Resolution No. 2025-10, of the City Council of the City of Patterson, to Set a Public Hearing for the Proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps “A” and “B” in the Keystone Ranch Development Area.
BACKGROUND
Keyston Ranch (the “Applicant”) filed an application for Vesting Tentative Maps “A” and “B” with the City over 95.08 acres (APNs: 021-023-026, 021-023-027) (hereafter, the “Site”), with Map “A” creating 12 lots, and Map “B” creating 506 single-family-residential medium-density lots, one 12.09-acre parcel for high-density residential development, and multiple remainder parcels for streets, park, drainage, irrigation, pathways and other/related improvements (collectively, the “Tentative Map”).
The proposed Tentative Map is associated with the Zacharias / Baldwin Ranch Master Plan (the “Master Plan”), which comprehensively planned, designed, and prescribed development of residential, commercial, mixed-use, industrial, and public/education land uses over approximately 1,297 acres, comprising the City’s northern future growth area. The location, characteristics, and development of the Tentative Map was previously reviewed in the Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2006032043) for the Zacharias / Baldwin Ranch Master Plan.
The Planning Commission is advisory to the City Council on this matter. On February 20, 2025, the Planning Commission of the City of Patterson held a duly noticed public hearing and adopted Resolution 2025-01 to recommend the City Council conditionally approve Vesting Tentative Subdivision Maps “A” and “B” within the Keystone Ranch Development Area.
ANALYSIS
Patterson Municipal Code section 16.32.020 and Government Code section 66452.2, require that at the next regular meeting of the City Council following the filing of the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve a vested tentative map, the City Council must fix the meeting date at which a tentative map approval will be considered during a public hearing. The City Council must set the public hearing and approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the Tentative Map within thirty (30) days of the date that the City Council set the public hearing.
The Planning Commission adopted the resolution recommending City Council conditionally approve the Tentative Map on February 20, 2025. The next regular meeting of the City Council is on March 4, 2025. At the March 4th City Council meeting, the City Council is required to set the date of the public hearing for the Vesting Tentative Map consideration. The public hearing and the City Council’s decision on the matter must be made within thirty (30) days of the March 4 meeting.
The purpose of this resolution is to set the date of the Tentative Map public hearing on April 1, 2025. Setting the Tentative Map public hearing will give the City Council ample time to consider the proposal. If needed, City Council can continue the public hearing as long as the Council’s action is within the statutory thirty (30) day period for approval, conditional approval, or disapproval.
The details and staff recommendations regarding the hearing will be included in the package prepared for consideration during the public hearing on this matter. This resolution only pertains to the required procedure of setting the hearing pursuant to the Patterson Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item will include minor administrative costs similar to other public hearings.
