D1. TIME EXTENSION DRC2020-00310 — RICHLAND COMMUNITIES — A request for a one
(1) year time extension for a previously approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18908 -The
subdivision of approximately 10.6 acres (located at the northwest corner of East Avenue and
Wilson Avenue) into 30 single-family detached lots within the Low (L) Residential District,
Equestrian Overlay District, and Etiwanda North Specific Plan —APN: 1087-081-25.
Mena Abdul-Ahad, Assistant Planner, presented Commissioners with a Staff Report and oral
presentation (copy on file). She stated Governor signed into law a new Bill AB1561, which will allow
extension to go from 12 months to 18 months, effective January 2021. This Map will automatically gain
an extra 6 months. She also mentioned Resolution #20-44 has a typo. Correction to the expiration
date should be October 28, 2021, not 2020.
Chairman Guglielmo opened public hearing. Hearing no public comments, closed public hearing.
Commissioners Williams, Oaxaca and Dopp concur this time extension is a straightforward request. No
objections.
Commissioner Morales stated he believes the extra 6-month should help applicant with getting it all done.
Asked staff, are they completing Wilson from Etiwanda to East or just a portion of their property?
Anne McIntosh, Planning Director, answered that they are in discussion with property owner of the revised
plan for the entire site. The map extensions are for the previous plan and because they are considering
possible changes to site planning, that is why they have not taken any action yet. She stated it is possible if
they do not purse a change, the land will get developed according to these maps.
Chairman Guglielmo asked what was the driving force behind the automatic time extension.
Nick Ghirelli, City Attorney, explained the legislator was concerned due to the housing crisis and Covid-19
around March 411 when Governor declared this an emergency. A lot of cities shut down their City Halls and
were not holding public hearings, so there was a delay on taking action on a lot of housing entitlements. That
was the driving force to provide the 18-month automatic extension for housing entitlements from 12-months.
Motion by Commissioner Williams, second by Commissioner Williams to approve Resolution 20-44 as
amended. Motion carried unanimously, 5-0 vote.
