ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18708 —
TAVA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 5.02 gross acres of land into 7 lots in the
Very Low Residential District (.1-2 dwelling units per acre) within the Etiwanda Specific Plan, located
east of East Avenue and on the south side of Banyan Street - APN: 0226-102-02. Staff has prepared a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for consideration.
Site Characteristics: The 5.02-acre site is dominated by sparse native vegetation and drains roughly
from north to south. The same developer has an approved 56-lot subdivision (SUBTT17651) to the west
with which the project will share a public street. There are vacant lots to the north and south and
San Bernardino Flood Control property to the east. The properties to the north, south, and west are
zoned Very Low Residential (VL) (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). The property to the east is zoned
Open Space (OP).
Project Overview: The site is within the Very Low Development District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan
(ESP). The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide 5.02 acres into 7 lots for the development of
single-family homes; however, no housing product is proposed at this time. The project is designed to be
a natural extension of the approved Tentative Tract Map to the west and meets all required Development
Standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan:
Required by the ESP Proposed by Applicant
Minimum Net Average Lot Area 25,000 square feet 26,881 square feet
Minimum Net Lot Area 20,000 square feet 26,645 square feet
Lot Width at Front Setback 90 feet 92 feet minimum
Lot Depth 200 feet 291 feet minimum
Minimum Frontage at Front P.L. 40 feet 90 feet minimum
Trail Advisory Committee: The project went to the Trails Advisory Committee (TRC) on August 13, 2008,
in order to determine the termination point of the master-planned Community Trail. The choice before
the TRC was whether the Community Trail, which is planned to run along the south property line of the
project to the west, should end at the west property line of the site, to become a local feeder trail, or
should end at the east property line of the site. The Committee recommended that the Community Trail
continue to the east property line of the site with the applicant providing 12 feet of the 20-foot trail and
the property owner to the south providing 8 feet. When the site is ultimately developed, the applicant has
proposed providing 15 feet of the trail, with the property owner to the south providing 5 feet. At the
Committee's recommendation, the applicant has provided a temporary vehicle turnaround where the
feeder trail, which is planned to run along the east property line of the site, dead ends into the vacant
property to the north. The turnaround may be vacated when the property to the north develops and
provides access to the future Community Trail along Banyan Avenue.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: None.
Secondary Issues: None.
