Item No. 5 PC: 1-7-93 MS-92-175 Page 3 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: Minor Subdivision applications are usually processed as staff review items with notification to surrounding property owners. However, this project is being referred to the Planning Commission due to the impact this project will have on future development in the area POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Zoning This area is part of the Tracy Urban Community. The General Plan designation is R/R (Rural Residential), and the zone is R-R. The R-R zone provides for lots one to five acres in size. Pursuant to the General Plan, the following shall be minimum requirements for the approval of tentative maps in Urban Communities: Water Supply Public water system (Water Policy No. 2, page IV-92). Stormwater Drainage Public drainage system, with terminal drainage unless a Master Drainage Plan permits retention ponds (Stormwater Drainage Policy No. 1, page IV-99). Wastewater Treatment Septic systems may be permitted in Rural Residential areas (Wastewater Treatment Policy No. 2, page IV-93). AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Access/Circulation: Proposed access is by Linne Road via a 50-foot-wide right-of-way. The right-of-way is 1160 feet long and is terminated with a cul-de-sac. Parcel 1 is developed and would continue to have access by frontage on linne Road. Section 9-1150.13 requires roads ending in cul-de-sacs to be limited to 660 feet in length unless existing physical conditions make such limitations of length impractical. As there are no such physical limitations for this project,the proposed 1,526-foot cul- de-sac is not appropriate. This site bisects a triangular largely undeveloped rural residential area that is bounded by the Western Pacific Railroad on the northwest, Linne Road on the south, and Chrisman Road on the east. As proposed, this project would preclude an adequate circulation plan for this area Therefore, it is recommended that the applicant prepare a master circulation plan for this area. The plan should show secondary access for all roads exceeding 660 feet in length that end in a cul-de-sac. Prior to approval of this project, it is recommended that the applicant prepare a revised tentative map to reflect the master circulation plan.
