Yuba City Planning Commission approves tentative parcel map for Live Oak Industrial Park
Loading...
Summary
The Yuba City Planning Commission voted to approve Tentative Parcel Map TPM 26-01 for the Live Oak Industrial Park at 2826 Live Oak Boulevard, finding the project categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15315 and approving four industrial lots on about 5.6 acres.
The Yuba City Planning Commission on an unspecified date approved Tentative Parcel Map TPM 26-01, the Live Oak Industrial Park subdivision at 2826 Live Oak Boulevard, adopting a resolution that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15315.
Andrew, the staff presenter, described the site as roughly 5.6 acres just south of Pease Road with four proposed parcels: Parcel 1 (2.14 acres), Parcel 2 (2.29 acres), Parcel 3 (approximately 0.06 acres or about 2,600 square feet) and Parcel 4 (1.111 acres). He said the general plan designation is business/technology and light industry and the zoning is heavy commercial/light industrial. Andrew explained Parcel 3 is below the minimum lot size required by code but is proposed as a parcel dedicated to public utility use because it contains an existing cell tower and associated ground equipment.
Andrew told commissioners that city water is available to Parcels 1, 2 and 4 along Live Oak Boulevard and will be connected per the conditions of approval; city sewer is not yet available so approved on-site septic systems and minimum usable soil disposal areas (10,000 square feet) will be used until sewer extension is installed. He said the developer may either construct frontage improvements to their portion of Live Oak Boulevard now or enter into an agreement with the city to defer them, and staff modified language in the conditions to allow variations in curb/gutter and road section widths to respect existing development.
Project engineer Sean Menard, representing the property owner, apologized for missing map labels on an earlier version and confirmed that cross-access easements or blanket easement language will be used to address access and drainage between parcels. Menard said the existing septic serving Parcel 1 would remain unless it fails, in which case the new minimum usable soil disposal area would replace it, and that Parcel 2 currently uses a private well and the parcels now share wells but would likely be required to connect to city water when parcelized according to applicable rules.
After closing the public hearing with no public speakers, a commissioner moved to adopt a resolution determining the project is categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15315 and to approve TPM 26-01 and the updated tentative parcel map and conditions of approval for four industrial lots on 5.6 acres at 2826 Live Oak Boulevard. A second was recorded, the commission took a roll-call vote and the motion passed with recorded ayes.
The commission’s action approves the tentative map and the updated conditions as recommended by staff; the project will proceed to the next procedural steps in the city’s subdivision and development review process.
