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