HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AMENDMENT TO VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP (CALIFORNIA PACIFIC HOMES) 14669 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve Amendment to Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14669 modifying a condition to relocate a pedestrian paseo by adopting Resolution No. 94-110 as submitted or revised. FISCAL IMPACT There are no fiscal impacts associated with this project as this is an applicant initiated project. The applicant has paid application fees to recover the cost of processing this application. BACKGROUND On September 14, 1992, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3078 recommending to the City Council approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14669 for the construction of 69 detached single-family homes on property located at the southwest corner of Rawlings Way and Tustin Ranch Road. The City Council subsequently adopted Resolution No. 92-116 on October 5, 1992 approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14669. Condition No. 2.2 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 3078 required the applicant to provide a 10 foot wide paseo link at the terminus of Lewis Drive to Tustin Ranch Road. Since that time, the adjacent Tract, 14168, (also owned by California Pacific Homes) was approved as a continuation of Tract 14669, with the same floor plans, common recreation center and common Homeowners Association. As a condition of approving Tract 14168, a paseo link connecting the two tracts was created as well as a paseo from Township Drive to Tustin Ranch Road (See Attachment A). The applicant is now requesting to modify the original condition 2.2 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 3078 to eliminate the paseo at Lewis Drive. The Planning Commission reviewed this request on August 8, 1994 and adopted Resolution No. 3297 recommending City Council approval of the amendment to Tract 14669. City Council Report VTTM 14669 September 6, 1994 Page 2 The subject site is located in Sector 8 of the East Tustin Specific Plan (ETSP) and is surrounded by Rawlings Way on the north, Lot 28 of Tract 12870 on the south, Tustin Ranch Road on the east and Township Drive on the west. The subject property is legally described as Lots 8, "MM", "N", "HHH, "III" and "JJJ" of Tract 12870 as shown on a map recorded in book 647, Pages 1 through 7 inclusive of Miscellaneous Maps, Records of Orange County. A public hearing notice identifying the time, date and location of the public hearing on this project was published in the Tustin News. Property owners within 300 feet of the site were notified of the hearing by mail and notices were posted on the site, at City Hall and at the Tustin Police Department. The applicant was informed of the availability of a staff report on this project. DISCUSSION Condition No. 2.2 was included to satisfy the goals and policies of the ETSP by providing for pedestrian circulation and providing direct access to transit corridors. Condition 2.2 reads as follows: "The subdivider shall provide a paseo link for the tract over the 10' sewer easement located at the terminus of Lewis Drive (Lot G) networking the tract pedestrian circulation to the sidewalks adjacent to Tustin Ranch Road." At the time of approval of Tract 14669, the adjoining tract to the south was planned to be completely separate, and to be developed with attached homes. For that reason, the pedestrian link from the subject project to Tustin Ranch Road was needed from Lewis Drive. The applicant is proposing to modify Condition No. 2.2 to read as follows: "The subdivider shall provide a paseo link for the tract over Lot "S" of Tract 14669 combined with Lot "E" of Tract 14168 networking the tract pedestrian circulation between Tract 14669 and 14168 and to the sidewalks adjacent to Township Drive and Tustin Ranch Road." City Council Report VTTM 14669 September 6, 1994 Page 3 Since 1992 when Tract 14669 was approved, the adjacent Tract No. 14168 has been approved as a continuation of Tract 14669 and two paseos have been installed as part of that approval; one connecting Tract 14669 to Tract 14168 and one connecting Township Drive to Tustin Ranch Road. These paseos adequately provide the necessary pedestrian circulation and meet the original goals of the ETSP. The proposed modified language would also more accurately reflect the pedestrian connections provided as part of Tract 14168. CONCLUSION Based upon the above analysis, it is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Amendment to Vesting Tentative Tract 14669 by adopting Resolution No. 94-110, as submitted or revised.
