6702 Filbert Avenue Subdivision Map

The project at 6702 Filbert Avenue in unincorporated Sacramento County involves a comprehensive land development entitlement process to convert approximately 10 acres from Agricultural Residential 2 (AR-2) to Agricultural Residential 1 (AR-1) land use and zoning designation, enabling the creation of ten residential lots via a tentative subdivision map. The project requires multiple discretionary approvals including a Special Development Permit to allow up to four lots to access a private drive instead of meeting public street frontage requirements, and an exception to county code provisions permitting water service from a water corporation rather than a homeowners association or mutual water company. Design review is needed to ensure compliance with countywide design guidelines. Implementation will entail significant site work including vegetation and tree removal, grading, excavation, construction of two new roadways—a private access road from Filbert Avenue and an extension of Crown Street—as well as installation of Class B and Class D public street improvements, drainage facilities, curb and gutter, streetlights, and landscaping. Mitigation for environmental impacts includes compliance with CEQA categorical exemptions, adherence to the County Climate Action Plan’s greenhouse gas threshold of 1,100 metric tons CO2e/year, and implementation of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program requiring an initial $6,200 deposit and $1,097 in administrative fees. Environmental compliance is supported by a suite of technical reports including a Biological Inventory Report, Arborist Report, Phase II Environmental Site Assessment, and a Level 2 Preliminary Drainage Study, all submitted for review. Work must comply with industry standards such as ANSI A300 tree pruning guidelines, SWRCB construction permits, and Sacramento County stormwater ordinances, with strict protocols to protect trees during grading and avoid disturbing soils within driplines. All inspections and acceptance occur on-site, with responsibilities shared between Sacramento County’s Environmental Coordinator and the project sponsor, JTS Engineering Consultants, Inc., who is tasked with submitting compliance documentation. No federal contract clauses, procurement evaluation factors, pricing data, or standard acquisition terms apply; the entire process is governed by local land-use regulations and environmental review under CEQA.
