Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the recordation of the final parcel map for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2023-06.
Background Discussion:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 2023-06 is a request to subdivide a 9.87-acres site into three parcels and a remainder as shown on the final parcel map. Staff finds the final parcel map to be in substantial conformance to the approved tentative parcel map, approved by the Planning Commission on May 22, 2023. The objective of the parcel map is to create three parcels for financing purposes and to facilitate future development based on the underlying zoning designations for each parcel. Parcels 1 and 2 are 2.46 and 0.55 acres in size and are zoned C-N (Neighborhood Commercial). Parcel 3 and the remainder are each 3.43 acres in size and zoned R-M-2 (Multi- Family Residential 3,000 square feet per dwelling unit). Please note a designated “remainder” pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act is not counted as a “parcel” of the tentative parcel map.
Pursuant to Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the Visalia Municipal Code, the City’s authorization to record the final parcel map is a ministerial action. Specifically, Section 16.24.080 limits the City Council’s action to the specific determination that the final parcel map conforms substantially to the contents of the tentative map, Chapter 16, and the Subdivision Map Act, and provides in pertinent part 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 City Council may reject any and all offers of dedication in the final parcel map pursuant to Section 16.24.080 and require that the City Engineer so indicate on the map, however staff’s recommendation is that the City Council authorize recordation of the final parcel map and accept all offers of dedication as previously described in this report.
Fiscal Impact:
The recording of this final parcel map will have no fiscal impact. There are no shared landscapes or lighting improvements or open spaces.
