Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that city council authorize the recordation of the final map for Tulare Duplex subdivision, located at the northeast corner of the Tulare Avenue and Lovers Lane intersection.
Summary:
The final map for Tulare Duplex subdivision will be subdividing a 2.78-acre site into a 13-lot subdivision. The proposed multi-family residential lots, private drive aisle, gated entry, landscaping, and utility and pedestrian access will be maintained by a Homeowner’s Association.
Background Discussion:
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 based upon acreage have been assessed to the site improvement building permit and impact fees based upon dwelling units have been assessed to the individual permits for each proposed structure.
