AUTHORITY
Chapter 24 of Title 18, Subdivisions, of the Merced Municipal Code (MMC) deals with final maps. Section 18.24.120 gives the City Council authority to approve the final map and agreements as long as it is consistent with the Tentative Map.
DISCUSSION
The proposed subdivision (Yosemite Crossing, Phase 1), is generally located at the northeast corner of Yosemite Avenue and G Street, (Attachment 1). The Yosemite Crossing, Phase 1 Subdivision, Final Map #5382 would approve 6 commercial lots (refer to the Final Map at Attachment 2). The Yosemite Crossing subdivision includes a total of 17 lots of mixed uses. A copy of the approved Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for the Yosemite Crossing Subdivision is provided at Attachment 3.
The owner/developer, Yosemite & G, LLC., has substantially complied with the previously approved tentative map for this site (Tentative Map #1314), and has complied with the Conditions of Approval listed in Planning Commission Resolution #4046 (Attachment 4), adopted by the Planning Commission on September 9, 2020. The owner/developer has submitted an application for a final map approval in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and City Subdivision Ordinance. It is now appropriate to approve the Final Map (Attachment 2) and Subdivision Agreement (Attachment 6).
Typically, final subdivision maps are approved as part of the consent calendar portion of the City Council agenda. However, because the public hearing and election for the Community Facilities District (CFD) was also on the City Council agenda for June 21, 2021, the approval of the final map was moved to the Reports section of the agenda to allow the Council to take action on the CFD prior to the final map. If the CFD was approved, the City Council may approve the final map as well. If the CFD was not approved, the City Council should refer the final map back to staff until the annexation into CFD can be completed.
City Council Action
The proposed Final Subdivision Map substantially complies with the approved Tentative Map for this site (TSM #1314). Therefore, the City Council should adopt the Resolution found at Attachment 5 approving Final Map #5382 for Yosemite Crossing, Phase 1 and approve the Subdivision Agreement (Attachment 6) for the subdivision.
