BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Tentative Tract Map 36605 (TTM 36605) subdivided 1.4 acres into four lots for single family residential purposes located on the west side of Lincoln Avenue and south of Cajon Drive. TTM 36605 was approved by the City Council on May 20, 2020.
TTM 36608 subdivided 6 acres into 23 lots for single family residential purposes located on the east side of Lincoln Avenue and north of Highgrove Street. The City Council approved TTM 36608 on April 15, 2020.
On March 16, 2022, D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company Inc. entered into public improvement agreements and a rough grading agreement with the City of Corona. The developer posted security to guarantee the rough grading and the construction of water, reclaimed water, and street improvements that were required prior to the recordation of TTM 36605 and TTM 36608.
The rough grading has been completed for the project and the houses are currently under construction and available for sale.
ANALYSIS:
The site was rough graded in accordance with all City standards and the approved grading plans. Therefore, it is appropriate to release the grading and erosion control securities posted for the property.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to release grading securities posted for a previously approved project. There is no possibility that approving this project will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
