Mannon (DEV18-0124/FMP20-0017)
RECOMMENDATION:
Commission approve Parcel Map AT 18-0111.
DISCUSSION:
Tentative Parcel Map AT 18-0111 (DEV18-0124) was approved by the Planning Commission on
October 15, 2019 (PC Resolution 2019-0030). The Tentative Parcel Map authorized the
subdivision of one existing parcel (7900 Curbaril Avenue) into four (4) residential lots. Staff has
coordinated with the subdivider (Mannon) to ensure that Tentative Parcel Map Conditions of
Approval have been satisfied.
Requirements for Off-site Improvements
Off-site improvements required for the subdivision include frontage improvements comprised of
a five-foot wide integral sidewalk, curb and gutter, a new driveway approach, and road
widening. These improvements will be constructed during or prior to the construction for the
first building permit issued.
On-site (shared) improvements
On-site improvements shared by the parcels include an access driveway, shared parking, fire
department turn-around, grading, drainage facilities, and utilities. These improvements will be
constructed to serve individuals lots but in a manner that will not require construction on
developed lots.
A covenant to install public improvements upon the request of the City of Atascadero has been
executed and will be recorded to ensure any buyers of any lots of the improvements required
and timing thereof.
Conclusion
The City Engineer and Community Development Director have reviewed the Parcel Map and
Conditions of Approval and find the Parcel Map to be in substantial conformance with the
approved Tentative Parcel Map. Pursuant to California Government Code Title 7, Division 2,
the approving legislative body (Planning Commission) shall not deny a Parcel Map provided it
finds the Parcel Map is in substantial conformance with the previously approved Tentative
Parcel Map.
If approved, the Parcel Map will be delivered to the County Recorder for recordation.
