Bates, P.E. — City Engineer Resolution Conditionally Approving the Final Map for the Phase I Riverfront Subdivision Project Located at 500 Hopper Street, APN: 136-010-027. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Conditionally Approving the Final Map for the Phase I Riverfront Subdivision Project Located at 500 Hopper Street, APN: 136-010-027. BACKGROUND The Phase I final map for Riverfront Subdivision is a nine -lot subdivision that also contains two additional parcels, the central green and a Class I bike/pedestrian path to be dedicated to the City of Petaluma. The project site is located at 500 Hopper Street. The subdivision received tentative map approval by the City Council on July 21, 2014. The Phase I final map and improvement plan applications were submitted in January 2016 and have been reviewed and determined by City staff to meet all the requirements necessary for the City Council to approve the Phase I final map except for submission of the required security guaranteeing construction of the public improvements. DISCUSSION Basin Street Properties is requesting approval of the Phase I final map. Phase I includes construction of public improvements for Hopper Street, Caulfield Lane Extension and the Central Green loop area within the mixed use portion of the Riverfront project. Off-site improvements on Caulfield Lane, Lakeville Street as well as the new two way Hopper Street connection to D Street will also be constructed as part of Phase I. Additional final map phases will be submitted to the City as early as summer of 2016, beginning with the single family homes portion of the project. The Phase I final map and subdivision improvement plans have been designed to comply with all conditions of approval set forth in the tentative map approval resolution, other project related legislation, and all pertinent City standards. The developer has met all but one of the requirements of the City to obtain City Council approval for the Phase I final map. As of the date of delivery of the supplemental June 20 agenda packet, the Subdivision Improvement Agreement covering the public improvements required for this subdivision has been provided signed by the developer, but security guaranteeing completion of the improvements has not. Staff understands the developer expects to provide the required subdivision improvement security sometime the week of June 20, 2016, but likely not prior the Council action on the final map. Sections 20.24.360 and 20.24.370 of the Subdivisions title of the City's Municipal Code and section 66462 of the Subdivision Map Act require that the City Council receive an executed subdivision improvement agreement and required security guaranteeing the improvements prior to final map approval. Accordingly, staff has recommended that the Council conditionally approve the final map at this time, subject to the developer providing the required security. Once the required security is provided approval of the final map will take effect. The developer is responsible for constructing the public improvements required as part of the subdivision and, once completed and found in compliance with City standards, the improvements will be dedicated to and accepted by the City. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The final map and improvement plan applications for the Phase I Riverfront Subdivision are subject to cost recovery. Costs for staff time spent reviewing the final map and improvement plans are 100% recovered through application deposits submitted by the developer. Therefore, this action does not have a fiscal impact to the City budget. City impact fees will be collected at time of building permit and occupancy issuance which are estimated to be $8,876,337.50. Water and wastewater capacity fees will be determined once tenants have been identified. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution Approving the Phase I Final Map 2.
