CITY OF CALIMESA PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
______________________________________________________________________
SUBJECT: Extension of Time 20-01 - Fifth of Six Possible One Year Extension for Tentative Tract Map 37204
MEETING DATE: July 13, 2020 APPLICANT: Jorge Alvarez of Far West Industries PROPERTY OWNER: Far West Industries LOCATION: South of County Line Road, at the eastern terminus of Holmes
Way (APNs 407-030-002 and 407-030-003) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Residential Estate (RE) ZONING DISTRICT: Residential Estate (RE) PRESENTED BY: Kelly Lucia, Planning Manager ______________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The applicant, Far West Industries, has requested a fifth (of six possible) extensions of the approval of Tentative Tract Map 37204 for one year, for an expiration date of August 20, 2021. It should be noted that the subdivision was originally approved as Tentative Tract Map No. 17351. However, that number was used in error. Subsequently, the applicant has purchased a new number; and all further references to this project should be referenced as Tentative Tract Map No. 37204. ______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Calimesa City Planning Commission originally approved Tentative Tract Map 17351 (37204) on August 20, 2007. The purpose of the map was to subdivide 54.1 acres into 45 residential lots, seven open space lots, and 324,166 square feet of street dedications. The proposed project consists of all of APNs 407-030-002 and 407-030-003 and is lo-cated south of County Line Road at the eastern terminus of Holmes Way. The original approved tentative tract map was valid for 24 months, and Section 13.3.07(d)(1)(A) allowed the Planning Commission the ability to approve a map for three,
8 of 36
one (1) year, extensions at the request of the subdivider. Since the Planning Commission originally approved this subdivision on August 20, 2007, this tentative tract received a series of four State legislative extensions which extended the map to August 20, 2016. The applicant was granted the first discretionary City extension of time on September 12, 2016, the second was granted on August 28, 2017, and the third was granted August 20, 2018. In addition, the City council held the second reading of Ordinance 366 on July 15, 2019. Ordinance 366 amends CMC Section 17.15.070(D)(1)(a) to increase the maximum period of time that discretionary extensions to the duration of tentative subdivision maps may be granted by the City, in one-year increments, from three years to six years. The code amendment is effective August 15, 2019 and allowed the applicant to request the fourth of six possible extensions for a new expiration date of August 20, 2020. The appli-cant has now requested the fifth of six possible extensions for a new expiration date of August 20, 2021. Table 1: Map Expiration Timeline

Effective August 15, 2019, Calimesa Municipal Code was modified to allow tentative subdivision maps to apply for a total of six discretionary one-year extensions of time (Ordinance 366).
4th Extension 8/19 One (1) 2020
5th Extension 7/20 One (1) 2021
Staff has analyzed this extension request and finds that no Applicable General Plan amendments, Zoning Code amendments, or readily apparent physical changes to the environment have occurred since the project's original approval to change the original findings of fact adopted by the Planning Commission on August 20, 2007. Tentative Tract Map 37204 is also connected to Development Plan Review 14-04, which the City of Calimesa Planning Commission originally approved on February 23, 2015. The purpose of this development review was to construct 45 residential lots within the Heritage Oaks Specific Plan (Specific Plan Area Three) which, in addition to the residential lots, includes seven open space lots and 324,166 square feet of street dedications. The proposed project consists of APNs 407-030-002 and 407-030-003 and is located south of County Line Road at the eastern terminus of Holmes Way. The originally approved development plan review was valid for 24 months. The Applicant was granted a one-year extension of time for DPR 14-04 (EXT 16-01) on September 12, 2016 by PC Resolution
9 of 36
2016-05. In addition, the Applicant was granted a second one-year extension of time for DPR 14-04 (EXT 18-01) on March 12, 2018 by PC Resolution 2018-03. Pursuant to CMC Section 18.90.040(I)(3), there are no additional extensions of time available for development plan review approvals; DPR 14-04 expired on February 23, 2019. ______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Planning Commission find the request for extension exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2020-06 approving the fifth of six possible extensions for approval of Tentative Tract Map 37204 for one (1) year or until August 20, 2021, subject to the conditions of approval contained in Attachment A of PC Resolution 2020-06. ______________________________________________________________________ ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Extension Justification Letter Attachment B: Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020-06 Attachment C: Planning Commission Resolution No. 2007-70 Attachment D: Tentative Tract Map 32704

WHEREAS, the extension of the map will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare in that, as conditioned, the project would comply with all requirements of the State of California Subdivision Map Act and the City of Calimesa Subdivision Ordinance and the project site will be improved in conformance with all applicable ordinances and all necessary infrastructure and utility services will be provided in conformance with the Calimesa Subdivision Ordinance and Calimesa Municipal Code;
WHEREAS, as conditioned, the discharge of drainage from the proposed subdivision into the existing community drainage system shall not result in a violation of the existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control having jurisdiction over the proposed subdivision pursuant to the provision of Division 7 of the California Water Code (Sections 13000 et seq);
14 of 36
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found the map to be in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act on August 20, 2007, and no changes are proposed;
WHEREAS, the State of California approved a series of four (4) automatic
legislative extensions extending the map to August 20, 2016; WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map 37204 was scheduled to expire originally on

17.15 of the Calimesa Municipal Code to increase the maximum period of time that discretionary extensions can be approved for tentative subdivision maps from three years to six years; and
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map 37204 was scheduled to expire on August 20,

Section 1. That each and all of the findings set forth above are adopted herein
in full.
Section 2. That a one (1) year extension of the approval of Tentative Tract Map 37204, a proposal to subdivide 1,493 acres into 29 residential lots totally 723.8 acres, four mixed-use lots 54.1 acres into 45 residential lots, seven open space lots, and 324,166 square feet of street dedications. The proposed project consists of all of APNs 407-030-002 and 407-030-003 and is located south of County Line Road at the

Section 3. This Extension of Time (EXT 20-01) is exempt from CEQA review
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. This Extension of Time
is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the
potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Because the Extension of
Time will extend a tentative map that has otherwise undergone the appropriate level of
CEQA review and the Extension of Time will not alter or modify the requirements
and/or mitigation measures previously imposed on the tentative map, it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that this Extension of Time will have a
significant effect on the environment, and therefore, this Extension of Time is not
subject to CEQA.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED, this 13th day of July 2020. Mike Barron, Chairman ATTEST: I, Yaiza Benson, the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the Planning Commission Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Calimesa, California; that Resolution 2020-06 was duly passed and adopted at a meeting of the Calimesa Planning Commission, held on the 13th day of July 2020.
