ANALYSIS:
Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 37644 is a subdivision of approximately 51 acres into 45 lots for condominium purposes and is the second phase of development in the Arantine Hills Specific Plan, approved by the City Council on July 22, 2019. The project is located south of Eagle Glen Parkway and west of Interstate 15, as shown on Exhibit “A.” The map facilitates the construction of 490 residential units comprised of 88 single-family detached condominiums, 66 detached units in clusters of six, 72 triplex units, 78 units in clusters of eight, 186 townhomes, open space areas, trail areas, and a private park in Planning Areas 8, 9, 10, and 18 of the Arantine Hills Specific Plan.
In order to guarantee construction of the public and private infrastructure improvements associated with this development, the developer will enter into Improvement Agreements with the City, and post sufficient securities for the street, storm drain, sewer, water, reclaimed water, and landscaping facilities.
In accordance with the Subdivision Map Act, the developer will also enter into a Survey Monumentation Agreement and post sufficient securities to guarantee the placement of all survey monuments as specified by TTM 37644.
At this time the owner is also proposing to enter into a Grading Agreement with the City and post sufficient securities to guarantee retaining wall construction associated with the rough grading for the project. Securities have previously been posted by the owner for the rough grading, drainage and erosion control for this phase of development.
Securities have been posted as detailed below:

FISCAL IMPACT:
All applicable fees have been paid by the developer.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Per Sections 15162 and 15163 of the State Guidelines for Implementing CEQA, no subsequent environmental evaluation is required when an EIR has been certified for a project and no substantial changes have been made to the project. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), which comprehensively evaluated an amendment to the Arantine Hills Specific Plan (SPA15-002) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act “CEQA” and certified by the City Council on May 19, 2016. The evaluation pertained programmatically to the overall Arantine Hills development plan, which was revised from the original plan adopted in 2012 to reduce land use intensities by eliminating mixed uses, reducing commercial uses, and reallocating the same number of allowable units across the project site. An Addendum to the EIR was also adopted by the City Council in December 2018 for a second amendment to the specific plan to annex approximately 32 acres into the Arantine Hills Specific Plan. TTM 37644 is a project level proposal which is wholly consistent with and will implement the entitled master plan. Mitigation measures identified in the SEIR will be carried through to each project level development plan that implements the master plan, and therefore, subsequent evaluation at the project level under CEQA is not required.
