Item 9b Staff Report PLANNING COMMISSION September 14, 1977 SUBJECT: Tentative Map Tract 3858 APPLICANT: Frank Auf der Maur PURPOSE: Application for a subdivision which would create seven lots on an approximately 70 acre site located on the south side of Stanley Boulevard between the A & R Service Center and the PGandE substation site. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Negative Declaration 2. Tentative Map Tract 3858 3. Memorandum from Director of Engineering Services dated 8/8/77 Frank Auf der Maur, owner of the approximately 70 acre site located on the southside of Stanley Boulevard, between the A & R Service Center and P.G.&E.'s future substation site, wishes to subdivide the property into seven separate parcels. Lots 1<6 would all be smaller than one acre in size while Lot 7 would be the remainder of the property - approximately 63 acres. He proposes to develop only Lots 2-6 at this time (Lot 1 contains the existing Fiat dealership). Mr. Auf der Maur's intent is to utilize these parcels as the sites for commercial service uses. The property is zoned and general planned for these uses. Lot 7 would be resubdivided at a later date and would not be part of the final subdivision map for Tract 3858. Mr. Auf der Maur is slowly filling the entire 70 acres since it was previously a brick quarry. Lots 1-6 have already been reclaimed and compacted. Because of the magnitude of changes which will occur to the 70 acre site, significant environmental questions pertaining to drainage, groundwater percolation, sewage disposal, traffic circulation, etc., need to be answered prior to completion of development of the overall site. However, the effects of the development of Lots 1-6 are not felt to be significant taken alone. For this reason, a negative declaration has been prepared for tentative map tract 3858. The negative declaration is predicated upon conditions regulating the development of Lot 7 and other mitigation measures. Tentative Map 3858 meets all requirements of the subdivision and zoning ordinances with the exception that the design of California Avenue has been modified from the requirements of the former ordin- ance to eliminate the planter strip between the curb and walk and to provide a 5 ft. planter and utility area back of the sidewalk. Your Commission is empowered to grant that modification to the subdivision ordinance if you so desire.
