DISCUSSION:
On Oct. 5, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a tentative map to subdivide a 1.5 acre parcel into seven lots as planned united development.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66458(a), the subdivider, Brightview Homes, LLC, requests that the Board of Supervisors approve the subdivision as complete and accept the subdivision map for filing with the County Recorder.
The Planning Division of the Planning and Building Department has provided notice that all the conditions of tentative map approval, other than those required by the Department of Public Works, have been satisfied. The conditions of approval require that a Notice of Development Plan & Notice of Geologic Report (Attachment 2) be recorded concurrently with the filing of the subdivision map (Attachment 1).
The Land Use Division of the Department of Public Works has inspected and approved all subdivision improvements. The conditions of approval require that a Declaration of Road and Drainage Maintenance Association, or other maintenance association, be created to maintain the subdivision improvements. The subdivider will be recording a homeowners association to provide for the maintenance of the subdivision improvements. This will occur after the subdivision map is filed by the County Recorder.
Both the Public Works Department and the Planning and Building Department have determined that the subdividers have met all conditions of subdivision approval within the required time limits.
The Humboldt County Tax Collector or her designee has signed the map indicating that all taxes have been paid or secured to his satisfaction.
Staff request the Board take the recommended actions.
