Description of project: This project is a request to rescind a Development Rights and Open Space Easement Agreement in order to allow for the future construction of a single-family residence on the subject 115.49± acre agricultural parcel (APN: 13-200-108) (see attachments 1 through 3). On September 9, 2003, Tentative Parcel Map #03-06 (TPM #03-06) was approved to allow the division of a 117± acre parcel into a 2.00± acre homesite parcel for an existing residence built in 2000 and a 115.49± acre agricultural remainder parcel (subject parcel) (see attachment 4). A Variance (#03-04) was also approved to allow the creation of the two parcels without frontage on a County accepted and maintained road. The tentative map was recorded as Parcel Map #1032 (PM #1032) on December 31, 2003 (see attachment 5), along with a Development Rights and Open Space Easement Agreement. The recordation of the Development Rights and Open Space Easement Agreement was a condition of approval of the tentative map in order to maintain consistency with the General Plan density by prohibiting residential development on the agricultural remainder parcel. The AG-80 General Plan designation allows one residence per 80 gross acres. One residence was allowed on the original 117± acre parcel. The one existing residence was allocated to the 2.00± acre homesite parcel and the agricultural remainder parcel was required to be at least 80 acres in size. The parcel is without frontage on a county-maintained road. The subject parcel has access to Pass Road via a 30-foot-wide, 475-foot-long easement along the western side of the property and a 60-footwide, 1,640-foot-long road and utility easement along the eastern side of the property. A private road maintenance agreement was recorded for the 60-foot-wide road and utility easement. The Sutter County Zoning Code requires all parcels to have frontage on a road which has been accepted and maintained by Sutter County or the State of California. However, the subject parcel was created without frontage on a county road through PM #03-06 and VR #03-04. The applicant is required to maintain access to the subject parcel in compliance with current Fire Code and County Development Standards. No formal development proposal has been submitted at this time for any changes of use to the property outside of the project proposal. With approval of this project, the subject parcel could be developed in the future with a single-family residence and residential accessory structures. The applicant will be required to provide provisions for wastewater disposal and water per Environmental Health Division standards in compliance with State law and local ordinance. If a new residence is proposed on the project site in the future, it will be served by an individual on-site septic system and individual on-site well.
