Board approves minor subdivision for Lum property under Williamson Act contract
Summary
The board adopted a resolution approving a two‑lot minor subdivision of a 41.17‑acre property under an existing Williamson Act land conservation contract (No. 1199). The parcel will be split into 21.15‑ and 20.02‑acre lots for estate planning; staff concluded the project is exempt from CEQA.
The Solano County Board of Supervisors voted 5‑0 to approve a minor subdivision that will split a 41.17‑acre property under Williamson Act contract No. 1199 into two parcels of 21.15 and 20.02 acres.
What the board approved Resource Management staff said the proposed subdivision—submitted by trustee Darlene F. Lum and a family limited partnership—would not change the Williamson Act contract; both resulting parcels would remain enrolled. The purpose stated in staff materials is estate planning.
Environmental and land‑use context Staff said both proposed parcels exceed the Suisun Valley Agriculture minimum lot size (20 acres) and the 10‑acre prime‑farmland retention standard for parcels under contract. The county concluded the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under section 15061(b)(3) of the guidelines because it will not cause a significant environmental effect.
Board action The board opened and closed a public hearing with no public comment and adopted the resolution approving Minor Subdivision MS‑25‑01 by a 5‑0 vote.
Ending Staff noted a prior lot‑line adjustment on the property had expired for lack of a recorded certificate of compliance; the current approval creates two stand‑alone lots that will remain under the Williamson Act contract.
