Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the recordation of the final parcel map for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2024-02, subdividing a 3.869 gross acre parcel, zoned Commercial Mixed-Use, into two parcels located near the southeast corner of S Chinowth Street and W Caldwell Avenue.
Background Discussion:
Tentative Parcel Map 2024-02 is being recorded to establish two separate parcels, one to contain an existing commercial building and the other a vacant lot / future building site. A sidewalk easement is being granted to the City of Visalia for installation and maintenance of said existing sidewalks within the easement area.
Pursuant to Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the Visalia Municipal Code, the City’s authorization to record the final map is a ministerial action. Section 16.24.080 of the Subdivision Ordinance limits the City Council’s action to the specific determination that the final map substantially conforms to the contents of the tentative map, and the California Subdivision Map Act states that “if the Council determines that the map is in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter, the Council shall approve the map.” Disapproval based upon any other reasons would be outside the authority of the Council for this particular action. The Council may reject all offers of dedication on the final map pursuant to Section 16.24.080 of the Subdivision Ordinance and require that the City Engineer so indicate on the final map; however, staff’s recommendation is that the City Council authorize recordation of the final map and accept all offers of dedication as previously described in this report.
Fiscal Impact:
Impact fees will be assessed at time of development of each commercial parcel.
