City council approves two-year extension for Lincoln Place tentative subdivision map
Loading...
Summary
The Lincoln City Council approved a two-year discretionary time extension for the Lincoln Place tentative subdivision map, giving the applicant additional time to complete improvement plans and record the final map for a 21-lot subdivision on about 5.32 acres.
The City of Lincoln City Council voted unanimously to approve a two-year discretionary time extension for the Lincoln Place tentative subdivision map, extending the map’s expiration to Sept. 12, 2027. The extension allows the applicant additional time to process improvement plans, satisfy conditions of approval and record the final map.
Efren Sanchez, senior planner with the community development department, told the council the original tentative map approved in September 2023 would subdivide 5.32 acres into 21 single-family lots. Sanchez said the applicant had filed a timely first extension in April 2025 and that the planning commission recommended approval on Aug. 20, 2025. He told the council the applicant reported ongoing real estate negotiations with a potential buyer as the reason for the development delay.
Sanchez said staff coordinated minor text amendments to Condition 13 at the request of development engineering and that the applicant agreed to the proposed language. The project site is near the southwest corner of Nicholas Road and Joyner Parkway; it carries a general-plan land-use designation of low-density residential and is zoned R-1 (single-family residential).
Michael Robertson of Baker Williams Engineering, representing the applicant, thanked staff for their assistance during the extension request. After a public hearing with no public testimony, the council moved to approve the extension and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in favor.
The extension is the first discretionary time extension for the map; Lincoln Municipal Code allows up to six years of total discretionary extensions. If the applicant cannot complete the final map within the additional two years, staff said the applicant could request a further discretionary extension of up to four years under the municipal code.
The council’s action preserves the previously approved tentative map while the applicant works to finalize improvement plans and the revocable offer of dedication for the public street easement connection to the west of Lincoln Place.
