Document Description
The proposed project site consists of a single legal parcel with the following two Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 031-401-038-000 and 031-401-039-000. The project proposes a Minor Land Division (MLD) to subdivide the developed 16.5-acre property into two parcels located at 560 Ralston Lane in the unincorporated Newcastle area. See Figure 1: Project Location and Vicinity. Proposed Parcel 1, currently occupied by a single-family residential unit and accessory structures, would be 6.7 acres and proposed Parcel 2, occupied by a barn and shed, would be 9.8 acres. A minor use permit is required to allow the barn to remain on Parcel 2. Potential future development of Parcel 2 would likely include the construction of private driveways and a single-family residential units. Improvements to the existing driveway to serve both Parcels 1and 2 include paving and minor widening to County standards for a shared driveway while utilizing the existing culvert crossing. Drainage improvements in the form of supportive riprap would be installed under the existing culvert drainage of the perennial drainage that crosses beneath the private driveway leading to Parcels 1 and 2. No trees are proposed to be removed as part of the proposed project. Figure 2: Tentative Parcel Map shows the tentative parcel map of the proposed project.
