EXHIBIT A SUBDIVISION DEVELOMENT IN CARMEL VALLEY The review and analysis the proposed project must be done within the frame and perspective the Board Supervisors Resolution No. 02-024 adopted on January 22, 2002. This Resolution contains policy direction to staff and guidance to the Planning Commission to disapprove subdivisions proposed in the Carmel Valley Master Plan area. Specifically, the Resolution states that residential and commercial subdivisions proposed in the Carmel Valley Master Plan be denied, pending the construction several improvements to Carmel Valley Road, construction capacity-increasing improvements in certain areas State Highway 1 and the adoption adoption updated General Plan/Master Plan policies relating to the Level Service Carmel Valley Road. While the proposed application includes a 12-lot subdivision an existing undeveloped parcel (identified as the Land Reserve Area in the Carmel Valley Ranch Specific Plan), it does not include creation new lots per se. Eleven the lots would substitute eleven existing undeveloped lots in the Oakshire subdivision the Ranch which would be rezoned to Open Space if the project if approved; the 12 th lot already exists as the subject lot to be divided. From this point view, the application is not subject to the current policy the Board Supervisors because no new lots would be added to the area the Carmel Valley Master Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Aside from the development-specific potential impacts on the subject site, al potential impacts from the project must be considered from a comparative point view with the potential impacts from the development the existing lots record. In other words, the development potential and impacts (i.e. traffic, tree removal, water use, etc.) the existing lots would be transferred to the subject site. The Initial Study prepared for the project did not identify any potential significant impacts on the subject site. Impacts from the two potential development scenarios are not significant. The subdivision plans have been designed by the applicant and revised per recommendations by staff to comply with the policies the Carmel Valley Master Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Three development aspects the proposed subdivision are highlighted when compared to those the potential development the existing lots: tree removal, grading and vehicular traffic. The proposed project would require removal an estimated 193 Oak trees, while development the existing lots would require removal an estimated 152 Oak trees; also, development the access road for the proposed subdivision would require grading approximately 17,000 cubic yards material (cut and fill) while grading the existing lots would be significantly less than that amount. Finally, the size the proposed parcel would lend to development habitable accessory structures (senior citizen units and caretaker units) which development would hardly be possible on the existing lots because physical and zoning constraints; therefore the project could result in the creation additional vehicular traffic in contradiction the policy the Board Supervisors mentioned above. To avoid this potential for additional traffic, staff is recommending that limitations be imposed on the parcels in the proposed subdivision to prohibit development such habitable structures. WATER 3
Potable water for the proposed parcels would be provided from existing water credits from other approved but undeveloped projects within the Carmel Valley Ranch. The Water Resources Agency has confirmed that these credits are current. VISUAL RESOURCES Portions the subject site, including the area the proposed access road are located in areas designated as visually sensitive in the greater Monterey Peninsula Area Plan. The majority these areas are proposed as open space parcels in the subdivision. The designated lots and building envelopes contain sufficient areas for development that are not in the visually sensitive areas. The proposed access road would meander through a wooded area where its development would not result in significant visual impacts, as it would be screened from view from Carmel Valley Road and other areas the Ranch by trees. 4
EXHIBIT "D" RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND EVIDENCE 1. FINDING: The project proposed in this application consists a Combined Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Map (Carmel Valley Ranch PLN020280). As described in condit1 the attached Exhibit E, and as conditioned, the project conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards the Monterey County Subdivision Ordinance (Title 19), the General Plan, the Carmel Valley Master Plan, the Carmel Valley Ranch Specific Plan and the Monterey County Zoning Ordinance (Title 21). The project site is the area designated as "Land Reserve" in the Carmel Valley Ranch Specific Plan (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 416-522-020-000 & 416-522-017-000), located in the southwestern portion the Carmel Valley Ranch (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 416-522-020-000 & 416-522-017-000) with portions fronting on Robinson Canyon Road, Carmel Valley Master Plan. The parcel is designated as the Land Reserve in the Carmel Valley Ranch Specific Plan for development up to 100 single family residential units. EVIDENCE: The Planning and Building Inspection staff reviewed the project, as contained in the application and accompanying materials, for conformity with: a) The Carmel Valley Master Plan b) Carmel Valley Ranch Specific Plan c) Chapters the Monterey County Zoning Ordinance: 21.14 (Regulations for Low Density Residential Zoning Districts); 21.38 (Regulations for Open Space Zoning Districts); 21.64.30 (Development on Slopes in Excess 30%); 21.64.260 (Preservation Oak and Other Protected Trees); 21.66.020 (Standards for Environmentally Sensitive Habitats). d) Chapter 19.05 the Monterey County Subdivision Ordinance. EVIDENCE: The application includes assignment the "LDR/B-6-D-S" zoning classification (Low Density Residential with Building Site, Design and Site Review overlays) to the residential portion the proposed subdivision and the "O-D-S" zoning classification (Open Space with Design and Site Review overlays) to the open space portions the subdivision. Assignment these zoning classifications would assure that the project complies with the land use and zoning regulations the Carmel Valley Master Plan and the General Plan. EVIDENCE: The proposed development has been reviewed by the Monterey County Planning and Building Inspection Department, Water Resources Agency, Public Works Department, Environmental Health Division, Parks and Recreation Department, and the Carmel Valley Fire District. There has been no indication from these agencies that the site is not suitable for the proposed development. The Initial Study demonstrates that no physical or environmental constraints exist that would indicate the site is not suitable for the proposed development. Each agency has recommended conditions for subdivision improvements. 5
EVIDENCE: The California American Water Company has indicated that the project site is within its water and sanitary sewer service area and that it would provide these services to the proposed project. EVIDENCE: The Carmel Valley Land Use Advisory Committee recommended approval the project on March 1, 2004, by a 4-0 vote with one abstention. EVIDENCE: Written and verbal public testimony submitted at public hearings before the decisionmaking body. EVIDENCE: The on-site inspection the subject parcel by the project planner. EVIDENCE: The application, plans and support materials found in the project file. 2. FINDING: The proposed project, including all permits and approvals, will not have any significant adverse impacts on the environment and a Negative Declaration has been prepared and is on file in the Planning and Building Inspection Department (File # PLN020280). Potential environmental effects have been studied and there is no substantial evidence in the record, as a whole, that supports a fair argument that the project, as designed, mitigated and conditioned, may cause a significant effect on the environment. The Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis the County based upon the findings and conclusions drawn in the Initial Study and in consideration testimony and information received, and scientific and factual data presented in evidence during the public review process. ions project approval and/or ation measures have been identified in the Initial Study, incorporated into the project, and agreed to by the applicant, to reduce any impact to an insignificant level. These ions project approval and/or ation measures have been included into the recommended conditions approval for the project. The custodian the documents and materials that constitute the record proceedings upon which the adoption the Negative Declaration is based is the Monterey County Planning and Building Inspection Department located at 2620 1 st Avenue, Marina, CA. No facts, reasonable assumptions predicated on facts, testimony supported by adequate factual foundation, or expert opinions supported by facts have been submitted that refute the conclusions reached by these studies, data, and reports. Nothing in the record alters the environmental determination, as presented by staff, based on investigation and the independent assessment those studies, data, and reports. EVIDENCE: County staff prepared an Initial Study for the project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), its Guidelines, and the Monterey County CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study provided substantial evidence that the project, with the addition conditions approval and/or mitigation measures, would not have significant environmental impacts. A Negative Declaration was filed with the County Clerk on January 26, 2004 and noticed for public review. All comments received on the Initial Study have been considered as well as all evidence in the record, which includes studies, data, and reports supporting the Initial Study; additional documentation requested by staff in support the Initial Study findings; information presented or 6
discussed during public hearings; staff reports that reflect the County s independent judgment and analysis regarding the above referenced studies, data, and reports; application materials; and expert testimony. Among the studies, data, and reports analyzed as part the environmental determination are the following: a) The project plans and application materials. b) Rogers E. Johnson & Associates, Preliminary Geologic Investigation, Carmel Valley Ranch Reserve, February 17, 2003. c) Haro, Kasunich & Associates Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Feasibility Report, Carmel Valley Ranch Reserve, February, 2003. d) Stephen R. Staub, Forest Management Plan for Carmel Valley Ranch 12 Lot Subdivision, February 2003. e) Archaeological Consulting, Preliminary Archaeological Reconnaissance for the Watt Property at Carmel Valley Ranch, February 28, 2003. f) Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc., Traffic Study, Carmel Valley Ranch Residential Development, June 16, 2003. g) Rana Creek Habitat Restoration, Carmel Valley Ranch Parcel 6 Biological Assessment, May 30, 2003. h) March 1, 2004 memorandum from Tom Moss, Monterey County Water Resources Agency stating availability 8.802 acre feet water necessary for development the project. EVIDENCE: Studies, data, and reports prepared by staff from various County departments including Planning and Building Inspection, Public Works, Environmental Health and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency support the adoption the Negative Declaration. 3. FINDING: For purposes the Fish and Game Code, the project will not have a potential for adverse impact on fish and wildlife resources upon which the wildlife depends. EVIDENCE: Staff analysis contained in the Initial Study and the record as a whole indicates the project would not result in changes to the resources listed in Section 753.5(d) the Department Fish and Game regulations. (Provide brief explanation use conclusions & evidence contained in #24 the Initial Study, or other evidence contained in the record as a whole.) EVIDENCE: Initial Study and Negative Declaration contained in the project file. 4. FINDING: That in approving the parcel map, the decision-making body has balanced the housing needs the County against the public service needs its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. EVIDENCE: Approval the project is conditioned to comply with the requirements the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. 7
5. FINDING: The proposed project is consistent with the current policy the Board Supervisors Board Supervisors (Resolution No. 02-024) denying new residential and commercial subdivisions that would generate additional vehicular traffic on Carmel Valley Road and State Highway One, pending construction certain highway/road capacity-infrastructure improvements to portions those roads. EVIDENCE: Traffic Study prepared for the project by Hexagon transportation Consultants, dated June 16, 2003. EVIDENCE: The proposed project would not result in the creation additional lots. EVIDENCE: To avoid the generation additional vehicular traffic and to maintain the existing levels service on Carmel Valley Road and Highway 1, the project is conditioned to prohibit development habitable accessory structures (senior citizen units and caretaker units) on the proposed lots (Recommended ion Approval No. 14). This limitation is consistent with the limitations the existing lots for development this kind structures that result from physical constraints (lot size and topography) and which would prevent their development. 6. FINDING: Removal an estimated 193 Oak trees is the minimum required under the circumstances the proposed project. EVIDENCE: Development the 11 existing lots in the Oakshire area would require removal an estimated 152 Oak trees. Removal the estimated 193 Oak trees as part the proposed subdivision would result in removal an additional 41 Oak trees anticipated for the existing lots. EVIDENCE: The proposed lot lay out and road configuration would allow for consideration building sites as well as design and construction methods that would reduce the number trees to be removed. EVIDENCE: Approval the project is conditioned to reduce the size the proposed building envelopes on lot Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 in order to exclude oak woodland areas in these lots from them (Recommended ion No. 10). 7. FINDING: There is no feasible alternative location that would allow development the proposed access road on slopes less than 30% and development the access road on the proposed road alignment better achieves the goals, policies and objectives the General Plan and the Carmel Valley Master Plan. EVIDENCE: The only alternative location for an access road to the site would be the existing dirt access road. Because geologic conditions and constraints (slumps and debris flow) identified in the Preliminary Geologic Investigation prepared for the project, the existing access road to the site can not be improved and widened to meet fire accessibility standards. In addition, improvement the existing road would impact an identified seasonal wetland alongside. EVIDENCE: Development the project s access road on the proposed alignment over short stretches slopes over 30% would prevent the worsening geologic constraints in the area the existing dirt access road. Improvement this road would be the only alternative for development the access road. 8
8. FINDING: Based upon the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District's ( District ) water allotment system, the County Monterey ("County") has established a system priority distribution water allocation for properties within its own jurisdiction. Current information available to the County indicates that the County's share water under the District's allotment system, over which the County has no control, has been exhausted to the point that the County is unable to assure that property owners who do or have obtained development permits for their properties will be able to proceed with their development projects. EVIDENCE: Memorandum from the Water Resources Agency dated March 1, 2004, which states that water from previously approved but undeveloped projects within the Carmel Valley Ranch is available for re-allocation to the proposed project and therefore development the project will result in a net increase zero acre feet per year water and is consistent with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District s Ordinance #70 and the Board Supervisors action dated October 11, 1994. EVIDENCE: Staff report, oral testimony at the hearing; administrative record. 9. FINDING: In view the preceding finding, and the fact that the present application for a use permit otherwise meets all County requirements, the County approves the application subject to determination by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, in the form a water availability certification, that water is available for the project and the applicant's being able to obtain a water permit from the District. EVIDENCE: Staff report, oral testimony at the hearing; administrative record. 10. FINDING: That none the findings found in Section 19.04.025.I the Subdivision Ordinance can be made. EVIDENCE: Section 19.04.025.I requires that the subdivision be denied if any one the findings are made. Planning staff has analyzed the project against the findings for denial outlined in this section. The map and its design and improvements are consistent with the County General Plan and the applicable Area Plan. No specific plan has been prepared for this area. The site has been determined to be physically suitable for the type and density development (see Evidence below). The design and improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, or cause serious public health problems as demonstrated in the Negative Declaration adopted for this project. The design and improvements will not conflict with easements for access through or use property within the proposed subdivision. Planning staff reviewed the Title Report and applicable recorded documents to identify all easements and ensure that the project does not conflict with existing easements. EVIDENCE: The property provides for adequate building sites as evidenced by the application materials submitted for the project. EVIDENCE: The application, plans, and support materials, including the technical background reports submitted by the project applicant to the Monterey County Planning and 9
Building Inspection Department for the proposed development. The report(s) concluded the site is suitable for proposed development, subject to recommendations for construction. The reports are contained in the project file and are listed under Finding/Evidence No. 2 above. EVIDENCE: 1) The on-site inspection the parcel by the project planner. 2) Maps and application contained in the project file. 11. FINDING: The establishment, maintenance, or operation the use or building applied for will not, under the circumstances the particular case, be detrimental to health, safety, comfort, peace, morals and general welfare persons residing or working in the neighborhood or to the general welfare the County. EVIDENCE: The project as described in the application and accompanying materials was reviewed by the Planning and Building Inspection Department, Health Department, Public Works Department, Water Resources Agency and the Carmel Valley Fire Protection District. The respective Departments have recommended conditions, where appropriate, to ensure that the project will not have an adverse effect on the health, safety, and welfare persons either residing or working in the neighborhood; or the County in general. EVIDENCE: Approval the project, including adoption the Negative Declaration, includes conditions approval that address potential impacts to Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Geology/Soils, Hydrology/Water Quality and Transportation/Traffic. No other significant issues have been identified for the project. 12. FINDING: The site is suitable for the use proposed. EVIDENCE: There has been no testimony received either written or oral, during the course public hearings to indicate that the site is not suitable for the project. Necessary public facilities are available for the use proposed. The project has been reviewed by the Monterey County Planning and Building Inspection Department, Water Resources Agency, Public Works Department, Health Department and the Salinas Rural Fire District. There has been no indication from those agencies that the site is not suitable. There are no physical or environmental constraints such as geologic or seismic hazard areas or similar areas that would indicate the site is not suitable for the use proposed. 10
