Body
ANALYSIS:
Tract Map 36541-1 is the first phase of Tentative Tract Map 36541, a subdivision of approximately 311-acres into 237 single-family residential lots, approved by the City Council on April 18, 2018. The project is located south of Green River Road, beyond Calle Del Oro, and west of Paseo Grande, as shown on Exhibit “A.” The property is within the Sierra Bella Specific Plan (SP04-001), which was adopted by the City Council on August 17, 2005, and amended (SPA12-005) on May 1, 2013.
In compliance with Grading Ordinance No. 2568, the owner will enter into Grading Agreements with the City, and post sufficient securities to guarantee the erosion control and precise grading operations associated with the development of eight (8) lots for two (2) model home production phases, known as Adagio and Sonata. The precise grading design conforms to the Grading Ordinance, and is consistent with sound engineering standards and practices. The elevation design minimizes significant height and slope differentials from surrounding properties, while maintaining the City’s obligation to protect the health and safety of citizens and 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 general rule 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 merely approves agreements that provide security to guarantee completion of improvements that are required in connection with a ministerial permit, and there is no possibility that approving this agreement will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
