NOTICE OF DECISION
DCD -98 -26
April 17,1998
► - tq•aa
This letter is to inform you that the Director of Community Development has approved your application for:
97 -295 TPM (Keith) - Tentative Parcel Map for a four -lot subdivision for property located at 950
Rancho Santa Fe Rd. (APN 264 - 142 -08).
Project Description and Discussion: The applicant proposes to subdivide an existing legal lot into
four lots for property located at 950 Rancho Santa Fe Rd., as per the subject RR -2 Zone which
specifies a minimum net lot size of 21,500 sq. ft. (.5 acres). The proposed parcels meet the lot area,
lot dimensions and density standards. Parcel one is proposed at .63 net acres, Parcel 2 at .61 acres,
Parcel 3 at .67 acres, and Parcel 4 at .70 acres. All parcels exceed the width and depth standards of
100 ft. and 150 ft.
The application proposes to establish the northerly lot line of Parcel 1 as an interior lot line for
setback purposes, the southerly lot line as an interior side yard for setback purposes, and proposes to
establish the westerly lot line (coincident with the access easement) as the front lot line for setback
purposes, and to establish the easterly lot line as the rear lot line for setback purposes, as per
Municipal Code Section 24.12 (Design Requirements). Parcel 1 is proposed as a comer lot, with
streets abutting the west lot line (private road easement) and the northerly lot line (Rancho Santa Fe
Rd.). The Rancho Santa Fe Rd. frontage would typically be designated as the front lot line, as this is
the shorter of the two street frontages. The proposed configuration will permit a 10 ft. interior side
yard setback for the proposed southerly lot line for Parcel 1, thus allowing the sloping area between
the two lots to be within the property bounds of Parcel 2 which is at the lower elevation. This is
accepted as a superior design option, as parcel 2 will be maintaining the slope for aesthetic and
drainage considerations. Also it is noted that the existing home on Parcel 1 is oriented toward the
existing easement road.
The average slope of the subject property is minimal, and no sensitive biological resources exist on-
site.

The applicant has submitted service availability letters indicating that all required services are
available for the project site.
A standard 300 ft. public notification was issued and comments were received. Concern was
expressed that the existing easement road would be utilized for future development of the subject
parcels. The parcel map design as accepted by the Engineering Services Department will establish
access to adjacent Rancho Santa Fe Rd. for the three new home sites; the existing easement road will
not be utilized by Parcels 2-4 for primary access. The existing home will continue taking access
from the easement road. A request was also made that construction vehicles not utilize the access
easement. The Community Development Department responded that control of private easements
does not rest with the City. Comments were also received requesting that the installation of
decorative walls and landscaping be required as part of this approval. The Community Development
Department responded that the Municipal Code does not permit such requirements for minor
subdivisions, and since no development is proposed at this time, Design Review is not required.
FINDINGS
Tentative Parcel Map
This approval is subject to the following findings for Tentative Parcel Map.
1. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in
Section 65451 of the Subdivision Map Act.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable
general and any specific plans since the project is in conformance with the General Plan
designation (Rural Residential 1.01 -2 du/ac) for the site.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the intended residential type of development, in that
proposed lots will adequately accommodate existing and future single family dwellings in
terms of lot size, shape, setbacks and access.
4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development since the
topography and design of the new proposed lots can adequately accommodate existing and
future single family homes and because the subdivision conforms to the density limitations
contained within the RR -2 Zone.
5. That the design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
JK1/ 197295TPM.DEC (4 -9 -98)
their habitat because the site has no natural resources which would be significantly impacted
by the proposed subdivision.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems, since documentation has been obtained stating that necessary utilities
and services are available for the project site.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the
proposed subdivision.
8. The subdivision conforms with all the provisions of the Municipal Code including project
density, lot size and lot dimensions, as per the information submitted in the subdivision
application.

The project is found to be Exempt from Environmental Review as per CEQA Guidelines
Section 15315.
This approval is subject to the following conditions:

SC4 Approval of the Tentative Parcel Map and all associated permits will expire on April 9, 2000,
at 5:00 pm, two years after the approval of this project, unless the conditions have been met
or an extension of time has been approved pursuant to the Municipal Code.
