St. Thomas Estates

St. Thomas Estates

The St. Thomas Estates Project (project) consist of rezoning 2.04 acres of a 5.49- acre parcel to establish consistent zoning and the creation of a 27-unit single-family residential subdivision located between Florin Road and Gerber Road, on Gardner Avenue, within unincorporated Sacramento County. The following entitlements are being requested for the project: 1. A Rezone of an existing 5.49-acre split zoned parcel to change 2.04 acres of Agricultural Residential 5 (AR-5) to Residential 5 (RD-5) to create consistent zoning across the project site. 2. A Tentative Subdivision Map to create 27-unit single-family residential lots. 3. A Major Design Review to determine substantial compliance with the Sacramento County Countywide Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines). The project is considered infill development, referring to the construction or redevelopment of vacant and / or underutilized parcels in existing urban areas (Sacramento County, 2024a). Infill sites are generally small (several acres or less), with eliminated or reduced habitat, scattered through urbanized areas, and are located near existing infrastructure, transportation and services. The project site is currently vacant and surrounded to the north, east, and south by the Gardner Parke Subdivision Project (2004-0218, PLNP2016-00077), which is currently under construction and existing single-family dwellings to the west of Gardner Avenue. The project would be served by existing infrastructure (water, sewer, electricity, and roadways) in the area. As previously described, the project site is a split zoned 5.49-acre parcel, 2.04 acres zoned AR- 5 and 3.45 acres zoned RD-5 located along the east side of Gardner Avenue within the Florin- Vineyard Gap area. The parcels created as a result of the project would range in size from 5,53,6 square feet to 9,652 square feet. Vehicular access to the project site would be provided via Gardner Avenue, Fawnbar Way, and Edgeland Way. Fawnbar Way and Edgeland Way are currently under construction as part of the Gardner Park Subdivision and end at the edge of the project site property line. These roadways would be extended through the project site to provide access and connect to Oneta Way and Irondequoit Way (east-west roads within the Garnder Parke Subdivision). Access to Parcels 1 through 5 of the project would be via Gardner Avenue. The remaining parcels would be accessed via Fawnbar Way and / or Edgeland Way (Plate AD-3). Frontage improvements along Gardner Avenue include two lanes of travel, a bike lane, a seven-foot landscape corridor, and a six-foot separated sidewalk. These improvements are consistent with the requirements of a 42-foot Parkway I, as required in tho Florin-Vineyard Gap Community Plan (FVGCP).
