SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing a vesting tentative subdivision map for 17 low density residential lots at 2500 E. Childs Avenue. The subject site is generally located, south of East Childs Avenue, approximately 500 feet east of Brimmer Road (Attachment B). The proposed subdivision would subdivide approximately 3.38 acres of land into 17 residential single-family lots generally ranging in size from 6,200 square feet to 14,579 square feet. Planning staff, along with other City staff, have reviewed the project and recommend approval subject to conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Environmental Review #25-0022 (Categorical Exemption) and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map #25-0003 (including the adoption of the Draft Resolution) subject to the conditions in Exhibit A and the findings/considerations in Exhibit B of Draft Resolution #4165 at Attachment A.
Body
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The proposed project would subdivide 3.38 acres of land into 17 standard single-family lots (Attachment C). The subdivision would be accessed from East Childs Avenue from the north, and from Rye Street from the south. Currently, Rye Street is a cul-de-sac that extends from Dinkey Creek Avenue to the subject site. With approval of this request, Rye Street would be extended north to connect and create access to and from East Childs Avenue.
The subdivision will provide a density of about 5.1 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the density allowed by the Low Density Residential (LD) General Plan designation, which allows between 2-6 units per acre.

Background
This site was originally annexed into the City on December 27, 1990, as part of the Childs Avenue Annexation No. 2. The project site is located directly to the north of the "Hartley Crossings" subdivision, which was approved back in 2005, and has a similar design to this request. The proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map is consistent with this general plan designation and zoning classification for this site.
Findings/Considerations
Please refer to Exhibit B of the Draft Planning Commission Resolution #4165 at Attachment A.
