Res P-02-16RESOLUTION NO. P-02-16 A RESOLUTION OF THE CiTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 98-15 (TE) TIME EXTENSION AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. P-00-35 ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 323-290-39 WHEREAS, a request has been submitted by Errol Yeager for a one-year time extension of the approval of Tentative Parcel Map 98-15, a proposal to subdivide 9.25 acres into three parcels ranging from 1.02 to 4.04 acres (net) in size located on both sides of Gate Drive, just north of Calle Seco within the Rural Residential C zone; and WHEREAS, on April 25, 2000, the City Council approved Tentative Parcel Map 98-15, a proposal to subdivide 9.25 acres into three parcels ranging from 1.02 to 4.04 acres (net) in size; and WHEREAS, on April 16, 2002, the City Council held a public hearing on a request for a one-year time extension for TPM 98-15; and WHEREAS, the City Council has read and considered the Agenda Report for the proposed project and has considered other evidence presented at the Public Hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council does hereby follows: Section 1: The City Council finds that the previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration, approved April 25, 2000, adequately addresses the Iai concerns for TPM 98-15(TE). The City Council considered the E Iai Initial Study (ELS), Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program shown as Exhibit A of this resolution for the Tentative Parcel Map 98-15 project and public received on the ElS and MND. The subject ElS and MND documentation is fully incorporated herein by this The City Council finds that the mitigation :1 in the ElS and Exhibit A hereof will mitigate potentially significant impacts to a level of less than significant and hereby approves the MND and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Section 2: The required findings in compliance with Section 6.1.B of the Implementing Agreement/CESA MOU approved with the adopted Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan/NCCP (PSHCP) for the proposed map project are hereby made as follows: Ao The project biological resource mitigation is consistent with and furthers the implementing objectives of the PSHCP, as the mitigation is consistent with the approved MND pursuant to Section 1 above. The approved mitigation permanently p :1 protects within a recorded biological easement deed 3.2 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat and grassland habitat either onsite or offsite. Additional mitigation Resolution No. P-02-16 Page 2 req are identified in the approved MND; including compliance with the permitting requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Department of Fish and Game. The mitigation habitat is appropriately located in the PSHCP mitigation area to enhance the long-term viability and function of the preserve system in that the mitigation habitat east of Gate Drive is entirely within the Biological Core and Linkage Area (BCLA) ' :1 with the South Poway C Preserve. It has been further mapped as being part of Proposed Resource Protection (PRPA) #17b as identified in the PSHCP. This will serve to enhance the preserve system by protecting up to 3.2 acres of occupied upland Coastal Sage Scrub and grassland habitats. In addition to the proposed onsite biological resource mitigation and to reconcile the onsite habitat preservation as anticipated by the Poway Habitat C Plan (Poway HCP), the applicant shall acquire the balance of the 3.2 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub and grassland habitat not preserved on the site. The offsite mitigation land shall be in the vicinity of the project site and preferably adjacent to the South Poway Planned Community open space lands. The offsite habitat acquisition shall also result in a reduction in the number of potential dwelling units in the Mitigation Area of the Poway HCP. The offsite mitigation shall be approved by the Director of Development Services in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The offsite acquisition land shall be deeded in fee title to the City of Poway or recorded as a biological conservation easement and shall be encumbered by a recorded biological conservar : deed. The mitigation will be to the long-term benefit of the PSHCP covered species and their habitats in that the mitigation will provide permanent public and private biological conservat' I deeds that will remain as protected open space, and the undisturbed and revegetated Coastal Sage Scrub habitat within the protected open space will benefit the threatened California Gnatcatcher as well as otb :~ species" and their habitats found in the PSHCP mitigation area and adjacent habitat conservation areas. The mitigatior~ will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP in an effective and efficient manner in that the onsite mitigation areas are contiguous and are connected to the South Poway Planned Community permanent open space in the vicinity to the south. The onsite mitigation will be set aside by the project proponent in accordance with the PSHCP and the onsite mitigation will conserve and protect a significant amount of biological open space in the mitigat' perpetuity. Resolution No. P-02-16 Page 3 The mitigation will not result in a negative fiscal ' regard to the imp of the PSHCP as the Subject mitigation lands will be dedicated to the City of Poway in fee title and/or placed within permanent public and private biological conservar t deeds. Section 3: The findings, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map ,Act (G l Code Section 66410 et. seq.) for Tentative Parcel Map 98-15, are made as follows: A= The map is consistent with the General Plan in that the residential lots are being created as residential building sites in accordance with the Rural Residential C land use and zoning provisions and the lot-averaged subdivision p ' ' :the Poway Comprehensive Plan. The site is physically suitable for the type of development approved in that the property has an average slope of 22.8 percent and the project has been designed to comply with RR-C development standards and req : the Poway Comprehensive Plan. The site is physically suitable for the density of the development approved in that the property is zoned Rural Residential C and the lots have been designed to comply with th ' ' lot standards of the zone. The design of the Pamel Map is not likely to cause substantial Iai damage and avoidable injury to h :1 wildlife or their habitat in that the proposal includes dedication in fee titl ting of a biological conservation easement on additional acreage onsite and possibly offsite. E= The approved map is not likely to cause serious public health problems because City water, sewer, and drainage system imp are required as a condition of approval. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public at large, now of record, t' through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. The approved project will not create any unmitigated adverse significant impacts on the l and a Mitigated Negative C is issued. Section 4: The findings, in accordance with G for the public improvement, are made as follows: Code Section 66020 The design and imp of the proposed development are consistent with afl elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City ordinances, because all necessary services and facilities will be available to serve the project. The of public imp is needed Resolution No. P-02-16 Page 4 as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety, and well -1 below: Onsite and offsite drainage imp increase in sud' ~. will be provided for the New fire hydrants will be required to serve the new development and provide fire protection. Water and sewer fees shall be paid, and onsite and offsite imp made to provide water and sewer service to the development. Access to the site will be provided in accordance with City standards and I :lequate emergency access.
