Body
DISCUSSION:
Project Location: The project site is located in the Cutten area, on the west side of Walnut Drive, approximately 400 feet east from the intersection of T Street and Redwood Street, on the properties known as 2104 and 2072 Redwood Street.
Access: Provided via Redwood Street, a County-maintained road which dead ends near the project site.
Present General Plan Land Use Designation: Residential, Multiple Family (RM), Eureka Community Plan (ECP). Density: 7-16 dwelling units per acre. Slope: Moderate Instability.
Present Zoning: Residential, Two-Family with a 6,000 square foot minimum parcel size (R-2*).
Environmental Review: A Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for this project on October 1, 2009.
State Appeal: Project is not appealable to the California Coastal Commission.
Major concerns: None.
Analysis of Evidence Supporting the Required Findings: Sections 66452.6(e) and 66463.5(c) of the California Government Code (Subdivision Map Act) and Sections 326-21 and 326-31 (Filing of Final and Parcel Maps) of the Humboldt County Code establishes the authority to grant time extensions for approved or conditionally approved tentative maps when it can be found that the findings and conditions of the original project have not changed significantly.
Recommendation:
The findings and conditions of the original project have not changed significantly based on the following analysis.
Staff Analysis:
The conditions of the property have not changed since the original application/approval, nor have the applicable regulations. This is the second extension requested and if approved, the extension will expire on January 28, 2025.
The Planning Department has circulated requests for input relative to the extension petition and has received no comments against the petition being granted. It is staff’s opinion that the findings and conditions of the original project, effective July 13, 2017, have not changed significantly based on the following staff analysis, and are applicable to the proposed extension because:
1. No changes to the parcels zoning or changes to the project have occurred.
2. The General Plan Land Use designation has not changed.
3. The applicable development standards, for which the original project was evaluated, have not changed.
4. The applicable design standards, for which the project was evaluated, have not changed.
5. All other standards and requirements to which the project is subject and as administered by other departments or agencies have not changed.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The project was referred to responsible agencies and all responding agencies have either responded with no comment or recommended approval or conditional approval. (Attachment 4)
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The Planning Commission could deny approval if unable to make all the required findings. Staff has concluded the required findings in support of the proposal can be made. The Planning Commission has previously approved the project and an extension. Consequently, staff does not recommend further consideration of this alternative.
