7975 Orange Avenue Tentative Parcel Map

The project at 7975 Orange Avenue in Fair Oaks, Sacramento County, involves subdividing a 0.71-acre parcel into three new lots, each between 0.23 and 0.29 acres in size, with the existing single-family residence retained on Parcel 1 and two new lots created behind it. Parcel 1 will remain accessible via Orange Avenue, while Parcels 2 and 3 will be served by a newly proposed private drive. The development requires multiple entitlements including a Tentative Parcel Map, a Special Development Permit to override standard zoning setbacks for the existing one-story dwelling and carport—specifically waiving the five-foot interior side yard, twenty-five-foot rear yard, and twenty-foot front yard requirements—and a Design Review to ensure compliance with Sacramento County's Countywide Design Guidelines. The project includes grading, utility installation, tree removal of several native oaks and other species, and landscape installation, with strict adherence to CalGreen Tier 2 EV-ready wiring standards and prohibitions against new natural gas infrastructure. Mitigation for environmental resources includes compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, implementation of Tier 1 Best Management Practices for greenhouse gas emissions, protection of tree driplines, and observance of ANSI A300 and ISA pruning standards during vegetation work. Environmental compliance is central to the project’s approval process, with multiple biological, cultural, and land-use considerations. Seasonal restrictions are imposed to protect nesting birds and other wildlife, with work prohibited between April 21 and June 10 under Mitigation Measure BIO-3, and monitoring required through July 30. Tree removal is regulated by trunk diameter thresholds, with specific mitigation fees applied per inch of diameter, and cultural resource protocols demand immediate work stoppage and reporting if artifacts or human remains are encountered. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by Sacramento County Planning and Environmental Review at the project site, with oversight tied to Title 16 and Title 22 of the County Code, as well as state environmental statutes including the Fish and Game Code. The applicant, Surveyor Group, Inc., is responsible for submitting plans and executing approved measures, while the County acts as the lead agency for environmental review and permitting. Although fee payments totaling $7,300 are required for processing—including an administrative component—this is not a federal procurement, and no FAR clauses, payment office details, accounting codes, or contract administration personnel such as COR or PCO are applicable.
