The lots within this phase of the Merzoian subdivision would range in size from approximately 5,000 square feet to approximately 8,463 square feet.
The owner/developer, CEB Holdings, LLC, has substantially complied with the approved tentative map for this site (Tentative Subdivision Map #1291), and has complied with the Conditions of Approval listed in Planning Commission Resolution #2904 (Attachment 4), adopted by the Planning Commission on January 16, 2007. 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 5) and Subdivision Agreement (Attachment 6).
The subdivision was annexed into the Community Facilities District (CFD) for Services (CFD No. 2003-2) as part of Annexation No. 22.
City Council Action
The proposed Final Subdivision Map substantially complies with the approved Tentative Map for this site (TSM #1291).
