About the Project:
The applicant, Paul Goswamy, proposes a 3-lot subdivision of a 44,721 sq. ft. single-family residential parcel located at 890 Upland Road in Emerald Lake Hills, with proposed lot sizes of 12,010 sq. ft., 19,023 sq. ft. (net size: 14,926 sq. ft.), and 13,687 square feet (net size: 13,536 sq. ft.). Project includes the removal of a 54-inch diameter at breast height (dbh) Heritage Valley oak tree (Tree No.3), as well as 9 other significant trees. A total of 935 cubic yards (c.y.) of cut is needed for driveway and sidewalk improvements.
While the project complies with the lot size and slope requirements of the Residential Hillside (RH) Zoning District, the proposed project density does not comply with the Low Density Residential land use designation of the County’s General Plan, which allows for 0.3-2.3 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The proposed project density is 2.92 du/net ac. and, therefore, the applicant proposes a General Plan Amendment to change the Land Use Designation from Low Density Residential to Medium-Low Density Residential, which allows for 2.4-6.0 du/net ac. and the proposed density of 3 lots.
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for public review from October 19, 2023, to November 19, 2023.
