The Planning Commission voted to approve a six‑year extension for the Hayes Family Trust tentative subdivision map (TSM 20‑0002), extending the map expiration to Sept. 28, 2031. Mark Michellena of the Development Services Department told the commission the extension is requested because the original map was set to expire on Sept. 28, 2025, and county policy changes required revisions to conditions related to county service areas and permanent road divisions.

Michellena said the revised conditions (attachments B–D in the staff packet) remove required use of a county service area for a proposed community wastewater facility and instead require an improved maintenance entity — for example a homeowners association (HOA) or other county‑approved entity — to operate and maintain the community wastewater system and associated infrastructure. He said the changes stem from a county policy update meant to limit future CSA formation and focus CSAs on core public‑works services.

Several nearby residents testified on water supply, traffic and emergency access concerns. John Asarian, who lives one property west of the subdivision, told commissioners he and neighbors worry about groundwater supply and drought resilience if additional wells are drilled and about increased traffic at nearby Kiefer Road and Garner Lane. Lori Asarian told the commission evacuation routes and flood/fire risk were concerns because parts of the area had been subject to evacuation during recent wildfires and heavy rain.

Michellena clarified that the proposed lots would have individual domestic wells for household supply and that a community well would be used only for fire protection; the map extension’s revised conditions address wastewater and fire department and public works requirements. Commissioners discussed the county’s new CSA policy and whether current general plan guidance limited CSAs; staff said the policy applies to projects that have not yet formed a CSA and that the revised conditions were consistent with the board‑adopted policy.

A commissioner moved to adopt the resolution approving map extension MEXT 2056 and extending the map expiration to Sept. 28, 2031. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote; the staff packet identifies the revised conditions and provides specific language to replace prior CSA references with HOA or other county‑approved maintenance entities.
