Fiscal Impact:

Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with “Goal E Invest in Infrastructure” in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. Although this is not a Capital Improvement Project, we apply the same strategy to private development projects as they are essential in meeting the community’s needs.
Background:
A final tract map is required to subdivide a lot or parcel of land into five or more individual parcels for a residential subdivision in accordance with Victorville Municipal Code (VMC) Section 17.32.010. The Subdivider is required to install public improvements in accordance with VMC Section 17.64.010. These improvements include, but are not limited to; grading, drainage, streets, street lighting, road signs and markings, sewer, water, landscaping along master planned roads and other improvements as required.
Improvement plans prepared by a registered civil engineer are submitted to the Engineering Department for review and approval to assure that City standards and the conditions of approval placed on the subdivision are satisfied. 3 6

A Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) and improvement security, to assure the completion of these public improvements, is also required in accordance with VMC Sections 17.64.050 and 17.64.060. An engineer’s cost estimate of the public improvements is used to determine the dollar amount of the improvement security required and must also be submitted to the Engineering Department for review and approval.
At the December 5, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council approved the annexation of Tract Map No. 20280 into Drainage Facilities Assessment District No. 1 and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 6.

The Subdivider (72 Lots Victorville LLC) has now requested the approval of Tract Map No. 20280. The subdivision provides for a total of 72 residential lots. Please refer to Attachment A, a vicinity map and Attachment B, the final tract map.
The conditions of approval have been satisfied and all documents have been received by the City that are required to approve the final tract map. These documents include:
