June 27, 2006 The City Council approved Resolution No adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Rezoning, and adopted Ordinance No to rezone the subject property from the RR-20 zoning district to the R-1-6 zoning district.

4 PAGE 4 OF 5 ANALYSIS 1. General Plan The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential, which allows a density range of 2-8 units per acre. The Sandalwood Subdivision will be developed at a density of 7.4 units per acre. 2. Other Applicable Plans 3. Zoning Pursuant to Zoning Code Section (A)(2), all approved project entitlements associated with an approved Tentative Map shall remain effective concurrent with the period of time the Tentative Map is in effect. If an extension of time is requested for the associated Tentative Map, a similar extension of time for all associated entitlements shall be required and shall be processed concurrently with the Tentative Map extension request. Staff response: The original project approval involved applications for Rezoning, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and a Tentative Map. The Rezoning was adopted by the City Council. Both the Tentative Map and CUP would have expired in June 2016, but the applicant submitted the subject request effectively staying the expiration date until action was taken. The Planning Commission is required to act on the time extension for the Tentative Map, and the time extension for the CUP will be reviewed at the Director level. Both time extensions will share the June 20, 2017, expiration date. 4. Design Guidelines 5. Historic Preservation Review Standards 6. Neighborhood Comments No public comments received to date. 7. Public Improvements/On-Site Improvements There are no additional public improvements required as a result of this request for a Time Extension. Public improvements required as part of the original project approval are currently underway. Improvements include: Gordon Lane shall be improved as a Minor Street; Carol Lane shall be improved as a Minor Street; Street A, as shown on the Tentative Map, shall be improved as a Neighborhood Street; and Drainage improvements shall be implemented on Lots 1-14.

5 PAGE 5 OF 5 FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this Time Extension will have no fiscal impact. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT On May 11, 2006, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Sandalwood Subdivision project. Because the request for a 12-month time extension does not change the scope of the project, no new analysis or environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS NOTIFICATION July Pursuant to Zoning Code Section , a Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject site and published in the Press Democrat, and three public hearing signs were erected on site. ISSUES There are no unresolved issues.
