DISCUSSION:
On Aug. 19, 2021, the Planning Commission approved the Avelar Final Map subdivision, to subdivide an approximately 7.6-acre parcel into forty (40) residential parcels, ranging in size from approximately 3,700 square feet to 7,500 square feet. A minimum of 15% of the lots would meet affordable housing requirements.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66458(a), the subdivider, J.L.F Construction Inc., requests that the Board of Supervisors approve the subdivision as complete and accept the subdivision map for filing with the County Recorder.
The subdivider has requested the Planning and Building Department defer payment of parkland fees for the development of accessory dwelling units on Lots 1 through 40. In order to approve the request, the Planning and Building Department requires the dedication of development rights for accessory dwelling units until such time as the deferred fees are paid. The subdivider has executed a Conveyance and Agreement for this purpose (Attachment 2).
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 be recorded concurrently with the filing of the subdivision map (Attachment 3).
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 be recorded concurrently with the filing of the subdivision map (Attachment 4).
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.
