Recommended action
That the City Council:
1. Approve the request for a two-year extension for Tentative Tract Map 36642.
2. Approve the modification of Condition of Approval number 63 for Tentative Tract
Map 36642.
Body
ANALYSIS:
Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 36642, originally approved by the City Council on February 5, 2014, is a single phase subdivision of 4.5 acres to establish one (1) lot for residential condominium purposes to accommodate the development of a 45-unit townhome project in the North Main Street Specific Plan area. The project is located west of North Main Street and north of Parkridge Avenue and fronts both streets, as shown on Exhibit “A.”
On February 17, 2016, City Council approved a three-year map extension which extended the map expiration date to February 5, 2019. ASTA Property, LLC and Strata Realty, LLC, the owners of TTM 36642, are now requesting a discretionary two-year extension of time, as shown on Exhibit “B,” in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act and Title 16 of the Corona Municipal Code.
The developer is requesting the extension in order to find a quality builder to construct this project within the next two years.
At the request of the owner, Condition of Approval number 63 will be modified to require the developer to annex into Community Facilities District (CFD) 2016-1 (Public Services). This CFD was not in existence at the time of original entitlement and annexation into this CFD is consistent with other currently entitled residential projects in the City of Corona.
The modified condition of approval will read as follows:
63. Prior to final map recordation:
a) the applicant shall annex this project into City of Corona Community Facilities District 2016-1 (Public Services) for the purpose of maintaining public services including but not limited to emergency services. All assessable parcels therein shall be subject to annual CFD charges (special taxes or assessments) for operations and capital improvements. The developer shall be responsible for all costs incurred during annexation into the CFD. [new]
b) the developer shall annex this project in to City of Corona Community Facilities District No. 2011-1 (CFD 2011-1) for the maintenance of public landscaping, local lighting facilities, and public drainage facilities that benefit the development site. All assessable parcels therein shall be subject to annual CFD special taxes. The developer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in the annexation of the development into the CFD. The annexation process typically takes three to four months to complete. The developer is responsible to ensure this process is completed prior to map recordation. [existing]
Staff recommends approval of this discretionary extension, extending the new expiration date of TTM 36642 from February 5, 2019, to February 5, 2021.
COMMITTEE ACTION:

STRATEGIC PLAN:

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
In accordance with Section 15063 of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City prepared an initial study to determine if the project would have a significant effect on the environment. The initial study was prepared in accordance with Section 15063 and per the City's Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. The initial study identified environmental effects that were determined not to be significant and identified potentially significant effects that were capable of being mitigated to less than significant. Therefore, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Plan on February 5, 2014 in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines and Section 6.02 of the City's Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA.
