(RELATES TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ITEM 03)

SUBJECT:

EXTENSION OF PERFORMANCE COMPLETION DATE ON

SECURED AGREEMENT TO COMPLETE SUBDIVISION

IMPROVEMENTS AND RELATED CEQA FINDINGS (DISTRICT: 3)

OVERVIEW

This is a request for the Board of Supervisors and the Sanitation District Board of Directors to

extend the time allowed for the property owner to complete infrastructure associated with a

previously approved project by extending the end date of a subdivision improvement agreement.

Private property owners may use the County of San Diego’s (County) land development process

to subdivide their land within the existing legal boundaries of their property, creating new

internal legal lots and boundaries which are recorded on subdivision maps. Subdivision

developers, as conditions of their permits, are often required to construct specific improvements

that benefit the public, such as roads and storm drainage systems. In many cases, these

improvements are accepted by the County into the County-maintained system at the completion

of the project to be owned, operated, and maintained by the Department of Public Works (DPW)

in perpetuity.

The County Code of Regulatory Ordinances allows for and establishes the requirements for time

extensions for the completion of these required improvements on private development

subdivisions to provide the developer additional time to complete construction, while also

preserving the County’s rights to the improvements. It is not uncommon for development

projects to require extended time to complete the improvements. Construction schedules can be

affected by local economic conditions, the developer’s circumstances, permitting, site

conditions, and other related factors.

DPW staff monitors the status of subdivision improvement agreements and associated work. If

developers need additional time, they can submit an extension request and provide a current cost

estimate of the remaining work. DPW staff reviews the estimate to confirm the total security is

adequate based on construction progress and estimated costs for remaining work based on

current pricing. If staff determine a time extension is appropriate, staff will bring the request

forward for Board of Supervisors (Board) consideration. Extending the agreement ensures the

County’s legal rights regarding the improvements are continued.

The request for a subdivision improvement agreement extension is for the following project:

Tract No. 5365-4 (Map No. 15891), Harmony Grove Village Unit 4, located in the North County

Metro area. This project has two (2) non-residential lots, and the overall area is 36.8 acres. On

January 9, 2013 (02), the Board approved the Final Subdivision Map and Joint Improvement

Agreement between the County, the San Diego County Sanitation District, Rincon Del Diablo

Water District (collectively, Special Districts), and the subdivision owner, which includes street

and drainage improvements. Other units of the Harmony Grove Village development are in

various stages of completion; however, due to project phasing, construction for this unit has not

yet started.

In this case, the property owner is considering options for a path forward for Unit 4, which may

include not developing this property. DPW staff have determined an extension is still

appropriate to preserve the County’s legal rights under the agreement, and because of the

County’s continued interest in receiving the improvements, should the property ever be

developed as originally envisioned. DPW staff also confirmed there will be no negative impacts

associated with later delivery of the remaining improvements, and that there is adequate security

for all improvements (i.e., capacity through a bond or other financial instrument) to guarantee

completion of the remaining work for the agreement, should that become necessary to leverage

in the future. For these reasons, staff believes there are no adverse consequences to granting the

developers additional time to complete the improvements. Extending the agreement will also

afford the property owner additional time to assess options for this parcel.

Today’s request is for the Board and County of San Diego Sanitation District Board of Directors

to approve the extension to April 22, 2028 of the performance completion dates in the

subdivision improvement agreement for the development referenced by Tract No. 5365-4, for

specified infrastructure improvements.

RECOMMENDATION(S)

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

Acting as the Board of Supervisors:

1. Find in accordance with Section 15060(c)(3) of the California Environmental Quality

Act (CEQA) Guidelines that extension of the performance completion date in the

subdivision agreement to complete subdivision improvements is not a “project” as

defined in Section 15378 of the state CEQA Guidelines.

2. Extend the performance completion date for County improvements identified in the

subdivision agreement to April 22, 2028 for the development referenced by Tract No.

5365-4.

Acting as the Board of Directors of the San Diego County Sanitation District:

1. Extend, to April 22, 2028, the performance completion date in the subdivision agreement

for the development referenced by Tract No. 5365-4.

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT

It is anticipated that the extension will allow time for infrastructure to be completed by the

developer for the benefit of the unincorporated community where the project is located. This

infrastructure includes roads and drainage systems that will support housing development. The

effort will not adversely affect equity or result in unintended consequences to public health,

housing, food, access and affordability, or jobs.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT

The extension will allow time for stormwater infrastructure to be completed by the developer,

which will have environmental and sustainability benefits. Plans for Tract No. 5365-4 include

construction of water quality basins for stormwater infiltration and protection against

hydromodification (alteration of natural flow), as well as bioswales. These measures are

necessary to address stormwater quality.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with these recommendations. There will be no change in net
