4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 2000-00019 ROAD
ABANDONMENT 2001-0003: RANCHO DE PARAISO 6250 SAN
GABRIEL ROAD
The project consists of a residential subdivision of 10 existing colony lots totally
69.4± acres into 17 -lots and a road abandonment application requesting the
abandonment of a portion of the Portal Road colony right-of-way and a
realignment and improvement of the Escondido Road colony right-of-way. The
project will involve the construction of 16 new homes with 6 new homes
accessing from Portal Road, 5 homes accessing off of Escondido Road and 5
homes accessing from an existing driveway on San Gabriel Road. The project
will include the improvement of Escondido Road connecting it to San Gabriel
Road. The extension of Escondido Road will require the crossing of a blue line
creek. The public improvements required for the project will require the removal
of several native trees. Two open space easements are proposed as part of the
project totaling 13 acres +/- and a pedestrian easement is proposed to provide a
public pedestrian connection between the terminus of Portal Road and the
extension of Escondido Road.
The project also involves a city initiated application for a zone change to change
the zoning district from Agriculture to Residential Suburban. The zone change
application will change the City's Zoning Map to mirror the Suburban Single
Family general plan designation shown on the Land Use Element. The zone
change will not have an affect of the future use of the property and will fulfill
Section E.2 (Implementation) of the City's General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The site is within an area where the General
Plan and zoning allow for the density and parcel sizes proposed. Based on the
initial study prepared for the project, Mitigated Negative Declaration 2001-0006
is proposed. The Community Development Department recommends that the
Planning Commission find that no significant harm would come to the
environment from approval of this Tentative Tract Map and Road Abandonment,
with the incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. The proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration is available for public review from March 22,
2001 through April 17, 2001 at 6500 Palma Avenue, Community Development
