RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve the Parcel Map for a minor subdivision to divide two parcels of 1,477.11 combined acres into four parcels of 418.65 acres (Parcel 1), 590.69 acres (Parcel 2), 242.5 acres (Parcel 3), 73.84 acres (Parcel 4), and a remainder of 151.43 acres; and
b. Direct the Clerk of the Board to submit the Parcel Map to the County Recorder for recording, subject to the collection of the applicable recording fees.
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Monterey County Code Section 19.04.060 - Recording and acceptance of the parcel map:
When all the statements, certificates and acknowledgments which appear on the final map, except the approval certificates of the Board of Supervisors, have been signed, the County Surveyor shall forward the parcel map to the Clerk of the Board for action by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall, at the meeting at which it receives the map or at its next regular meeting after the meeting at which it receives the map, approve such map if it conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the provisions of this Chapter.
Therefore, if a Parcel Map conforms to project conditions of approval, said map is approved for filing with the County Recorder. Title 19 also authorizes the Planning Commission to approve tentative parcel maps (minor subdivisions) in the inland areas.
On February 14, 2018, the County of Monterey Planning Commission approved the associated Tentative Map (Resolution No. 18-006) for the Valle Del Sol Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company; Carlos S. Ramirez and Deborah Ramirez of the 2004 Ramirez Family Revocable Trust dated January 16, 2004, and restated on June 14, 2013; Greg Thelen and Tammy Nunez, Trustees of the Villam Legacy Irrevocable Trust Dated October 16, 2017, subject to nine (9) conditions of approval for which compliance was required before the Parcel Map could be approved for filing with the County Recorder.
In accordance with the County of Monterey Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (adopted by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors pursuant to Resolution No. 17-049), all reviewing agencies have ensured that all pre-filing Conditions of Approval are fully implemented prior to the approval of the final parcel map. Attached to this report are Department/Agency Conditions of Approval & Mitigation Measures Compliance Certification Forms and supporting documentation which have been entered into the County’s electronic database: Accela Automation, also known as “Accela.” (See Attachment F.) The property owners have submitted a Property Tax Clearance Certification in accordance with California Government Code Section 66492 and the Parcel Map Guarantee in accordance with Government Code Section 66465 of the Subdivision Map Act. RMA Planning staff has confirmed that all conditions of approval required for clearance prior to filing the Parcel Map with the County Recorder have been completed.
The Parcel Map is in substantial compliance with the approved Tentative Map which creates four (4) conforming, developable parcels and a remainder parcel. All applicable fees associated with the recordation of the Parcel Map have been satisfied, collected and deposited. There are no subdivision improvements associated with this Parcel Map. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board approve the subject Parcel Map for filing with the County Recorder, subject to the submittal of the applicable recording fees by the property owners.
