Item No. 7 <br />PC: 4-18-85 <br />S-85-3 <br />Page 1 <br />REFERRALS <br />Local Health District: See Conditions of Approval. <br />Pacific Gas & Electric: See Conditions of Approval. <br />Stockton Fire Department: See Conditions of Approval. <br />Department of Public Works: See Conditions of Approval. <br />City of Stockton: <br />The area is designated Low Density Residential on the City <br />General Plan. The Planning Commission recommends denial on <br />the basis that the cul-de-sac exceeds City Subdivision Code <br />Regulations which limit the length of cul-de-sacs to 500 feet. <br />STAFF ANALYSIS <br />The applicant is requesting a 13 parcel residential sub- <br />division. The smallest parcel will be approximately 10,880 <br />square feet, and the largest parcel will be approximately <br />23,000 square feet. The largest parcels to the rear of the <br />project area contain sewer and utility easements and abut onto <br />Smith's Canal. Access to the parcels will be provided along a <br />proposed public 50 -foot wide right-of-way approximately 880 <br />feet in length. The right-of-way terminates in a cul-de-sac. <br />This access connects to Country Club Boulevard. <br />The City of Stockton has raised a concern regarding the length <br />of the cul-de-sac. The City's regulations do not permit a cul- <br />de-sac beyond 500 feet in length (the proposal exceeds that <br />limitation by 330 feet). <br />The County regulations regarding length of cul-de-sacs states, <br />No such dead end street, terminated by a turnaround, shall <br />exceed a length of six hundred (600) feet, measured along the <br />centerline intersection with another street, except where <br />existing physical conditions make such limitations of length <br />impractical and not more than 20 homes are served." <br />The design would, therefore, appear justified; only 13 lots <br />will be served by the roadway; and the existing parcel is long <br />and narrow, 1141 feet by 211 feet. Due to this size limita- <br />tion, it is difficult to design a looped road system. <br />(However, as a condition of approval, Public Works is requiring <br />a secondary emergency access.) <br />
