a - Analysis Background The creation of a homesite parcel, which would normally be processed with a Minor Subdivision application, is being processed with a Major Subdivision application. The State Subdivision Map Act (Section 66426) requires a final map for any subdivision that creates five or more parcels. Minor Subdivision Application No. MS-88-33 was approved for the current owner of the subject property on November 27, 1987, to create four parcels of 40 or more acres. The owner's proposal to subdivide a homesite parcel from one of the previous subdivision's 40-acre parcels would result in a fifth parcel being created from the original parcel by the same subdivider. The fifth parcel triggered the requirement for a Major Subdivision application. General Plan/Zoning Consistent The site's General Plan and zone designations are AIG (General Agriculture) and AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum parcel size), respectively. The property owner has owned the property for over ten years and has not previously created a homesite parcel at this location. The proposed density of development, parcel width, and parcel size are consistent with the requirements of the Development Title. ' A mobile home is located to the east of the shop on proposed Lot 1. The mobile home appears to have been placed on the property without the necessary permits. A Condition of Approval is recommended which requires that either the mobile home be removed or the required permits be obtained. Williamson Act Because the property is under a Williamson Act contract, in order to subdivide the property and create a homesite parcel, Section 66474.4 of the Government Code requires that the property owner has owned the property for ten years and that a residence has existed on the property for five years. The proposed subdivision meets these requirements. Flooding The site is within flood hazard zone A-21 and is subject to flooding to an elevation of 11 feet above mean sea level. Any new construction on the property would be subject to the County's Flood Ordinance. 4 k L San Joaquin County SU-96-1/Trager Community Development Page 5
