r Analysis Background On October 29, 2004, the applicant submitted General Plan Map Amendment Application No. PA- 0400666 to amend the General Plan designation of the southern 11.26 acres of a 19.13-acre parcel from A/UR (Agriculture-Urban Reserve) to R/L (Low Density Residential) and Zone Reclassification Application No. PA-0400668 to change the zoning of that same portion of land from AU-20 (Agriculture-Urban Reserve, 20 acre minimum) to R-L (Low Density Residential). On January 6, 2005, after considering oral and written testimony, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to forward the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification applications to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation to approve. There was substantial opposition to the project; however, prior to the Board of Supervisors hearing, all issues were resolved. The items were heard before the Board of Supervisors on October 25, 2005. After hearing and considering oral and written testimony, the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification applications. Minor Subdivision The applicant submitted Minor Subdivision Application No. PA-0500764 to subdivide the 19.13-acre parcel into two parcels. The southern 11.26 acres will be the site of the proposed Major Subdivision, and the northern 7.87 acres will remain the site of the evaporation ponds for the Woodbridge Sanitary District. The recordation of the Parcel Map for the Minor Subdivision will be a condition of the Major Subdivision application. Lot Line Adjustment As part of the settlement agreement between the applicant and the opponents to the proposed project, the applicant has agreed to grant a strip of land along the southern border of the project site to the adjacent neighbors to the south. The strip of land to be granted is labeled as Lots A and B on the Tentative Map. However, if the Major Subdivision is approved by the Planning Commission, the applicant will be required, as a condition of approval, to submit a final map eliminating Lots A and B and incorporating the property lines into the corresponding lots. The applicant is then planning to submit a Lot Line Adjustment application to adjust the lot lines of the parcels in question. Neighborhood Opposition/Concern The Community Development Department received two letters in opposition or with concern to the project. The following are the issues raised in the letters: sewer capacity, and loss of agricultural land. The applicant has submitted a "will serve" letter from the Woodbridge Sanitary District stating that there is adequate capacity to serve the proposed subdivision with public sewer services. In October 25, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved the Zone Reclassification of the project parcel from AU-20 (Agriculture- Urban Reserve, 20 acre minimum) to R-L (Low Density Residential) and the General Plan designation from A/UR (Agriculture-Urban Reserve) to R/L (Low Density Residential). The parcel is now able to meet the requirements for residential subdivisions. Also, the land has been within the Woodbridge Urban Community boundary since 1992.
