Resolution 2020-156 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing Execution of the Landscape Improvement Agreement for the Canon Station Planning Area 4 – Neighborhood 7 Subdivision

RECOMMENDED ACTION 
Adopt resolutions.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE 
The recommended action approves the Final Map and authorizes execution of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and the Landscape Improvement Agreement (“Agreements”) for the Canon Station Planning Area 4 – Neighborhood 7 Subdivision.
DISCUSSION
As part of the Lake District Specific Plan located east of existing Peabody Road and Northwest of Vanden Road (future Jepsen Parkway), within the greater Train Station Specific Plan, One Lake Holding, LLC (developer) is proposing to build the Canon Station Planning Area 4 – Neighborhood 7 Subdivision. The proposed subdivision consists of 68 single-family residential homes (20 low-density homes, 22 medium-density duet condos, and 26 medium-density stacked condo units).

The proposed 26 stacked condo units will directly abut the Lake Park, so residents of this future subdivision will have direct access to the Lake Park and amenities, including: a ten (10) acre lake, 10-foot wide pedestrian trail, play structures, exercise equipment, and park tables.

The Tentative Subdivision Map requirements include the installation of streets, underground utilities, streetlights, and landscaping. The Agreements include authorization for construction of all public and private improvements, including landscaping.

The developer has provided all of the necessary bonds and insurance, and paid the fees required to enter into this Agreement.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City in constructing the public improvements contemplated under the Agreements. Acceptance of the public improvements by City Council will obligate the City to maintain the public improvements, including Cinnabar Drive and water, sewer, and storm utility infrastructure. Sidewalks, streetlights, and appurtenant facilities will be maintained by the Homeowner’s Association with a portion of maintenance costs being funded by the formed Community Facilities District #2018-1 (“CFD #2018-1”). This development is included within the boundary of CFD #2018-1, which will provide funding for public safety services, lighting & landscape maintenance, and the operation and maintenance of open space areas, parks, and future cemetery.

The City’s portion of the property tax collected through the County is expected to be approximately $68,000 assuming an assessed per home value of $600,000. Water and sewer rates, sewer service fees, storm drainage maintenance fees, gas tax, and general fund will be used to offset costs of services provided by the City. All landscaping will be maintained by either the Homeowner’s Association, various fronting property owners, or through the CFD funding.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION 
Sections 66458 and 66462 of the Subdivision Map Act require that the City Council approve the Agreements if conditions of the tentative map have been met. The developer has met the necessary conditions and has provided the proper documents for the Agreements. Additionally, pursuant to Section 25.165 of the City of Fairfield municipal code, prior to Council approval of the final map, the developer is required to enter into an agreement with the City for proposed improvements. However, if the City Council has any questions regarding the layout of the subdivision or public improvement construction, approval can be postponed until the questions are addressed.
