ATTESTED: March 11, 2014 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Stacey M. Boyd, Deputy cc: C. 65 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation and Development Director Date:March 11, 2014 Contra Costa County Subject:ADOPT Res No. 2014/69 accepting Grant Deed of Development Rights on a Portion of the Hillside Estates Subdivision in the Martinez area. (District V) BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) (County File #SD05-9004). The Board of Supervisors approved a related rezoning and development plan on December 12, 2006 (County Files #RZ05-3172 and #DP05-3101). On April 18, 2011, the County Zoning Administrator approved a new development plan for the subdivision (County File #DP10-3009). Conditions of approval of #SD05-9004 and #DP10-3009 require the applicant to grant development rights to the County over a portion of the subdivision property that consists of slopes greater than 26 percent and is not suitable for development. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the Board does not accept the Grant Deed, the development rights over the identified area will not be conveyed to the County. This may result in the future development of a hillside which has been deemed unsuitable for structural development. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
