The Planning Commission recommended the approval of the application for the proposed project on a 1.46-acre site located at 675 E. Mission Boulevard, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 8335-014-046 to -052. The approval of Tract Map No. 70570 (Attachment No. 1 - Exhibit “A”) will allow the landowner to meet the project’s tentative tract map requirements as established by the Planning Commission. The proposed Tract Map No. 70570 has been prepared in accordance with the approved tentative tract map and has been submitted for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will no longer be responsible for the pavement maintenance expense that essentially would cost approximately $13,000 every ten (10) to fifteen (15) years due to the vacation of the public alley.
PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On December 9, 2020, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 20-042 approving Tentative Tract Map TRACTMAP 10327-2018, TM 70570 for a residential subdivision consisting of 36 condominium units at 675 E.
