DISCUSSION
The proposed subdivision (Cypress Terrace 6, Phase B), is generally located on the west side of N Street (extended), between Childs Avenue and Gerard Avenue (extended) (Attachment 1). The Cypress Terrace 6, Phase B, Final Map #5375 would approve 18 lots on a single cul-de-sac (refer to the Final Map at Attachment 2). The Cypress Terrace 6 subdivision includes a total of 90 lots on 5 cul-de-sacs extending off of N Street (extended). A copy of the approved Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for Cypress Terrace 6 and 7 is provided at Attachment 3. The lots within Cypress Terrace 6 would range in size from approximately 5,100 square feet to approximately 7,300 square feet.
The owner/developer, Stonefield Home, Inc., has substantially complied with the previously approved tentative map for this site (Tentative Map #1288), and has complied with the Conditions of Approval listed in Planning Commission Resolution #2876 (Attachment 4), adopted by the Planning Commission on April 19, 2006. 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).
The subdivision was annexed into the Community Facilities District (CFD) for Services (CFD No. 2003-2) as part of Annexation No. 2 in 2005.
City Council Action
The proposed Final Subdivision Map substantially complies with the approved Tentative Map for this site (TSM #1288).
