Previous Council Action
The tentative subdivision map for Tract 3044 was approved by City Council on October
1st, 2013, by Resolution No. 10462 (2013 Series).
The final map for Tract 3044 was approved by City Council on January 15, 2019, by
Resolution No. 10973 (2019 Series).
Public Engagement
Public engagement was completed with the approval of the Tentative Map and the
development of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan.
CONCURRENCE
The Public Works Director and Utilities Director concur with the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP) and its Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
were approved and certified in March 2010. Consistent with Public Resources Code
Section 21080.7, Council determined on October 1, 2013, that no additional
environmental review was required since the tentative map is in an urbanized area, the
project involves the construction of housing that is consistent with a specific plan that has
a certified EIR that was adopted not more than five years prior, and the initial study (IS)
prepared for the project identified no new impacts (City Council Resolution 10462 (2013
Series). Both the 2010 FEIR and subsequent IS constitute the complete environmental
determination for the project. The final map is substantially in compliance with the
tentative map evaluated with this prior environmental determinat ion.

Item 5g
Typical maintenance and operation of newly accepted public facilities will be required for
the street and utility improvements. Increasing the maintenance budget for the small,
incremental increase in infrastructure to be maintained does not occur with each
acceptance of public facilities. The maintenance budget for these improvements is
evaluated and adjusted as needed with the City’s adoption of its two -year budget.
However, the Council action of accepting these improvements itself does not have an
associated budget increase.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could decide to continue consideration of the request. Ultimately, however,
acceptance of the public improvements is required in accordance with the OASP,
Tentative and Final Map approvals, Department of Real Estate process assumptions, and
Homeowners Association CC&R’s. Limited alternatives exist and only regarding the
timing of acceptance of these improvements.
