Parcel Map (PM) #02518/IS25-0022

Parcel Map #02518 and Initial Study #25-0022 involve the subdivision of an 8.83-acre agricultural property located at 604 W. Murphy Road in Imperial, California. The project, proposed by Josh Quintero and overseen by the Imperial County Planning and Development Services Department, aims to divide the land into four legal parcels to separate an existing shop and facilitate residential development. Parcel 1 will be approximately 4.85 acres, while Parcels 2, 3, and 4 will each be approximately 1.33 acres. Access to Parcel 1 and 4 will be via Murphy Road, and Parcels 2 and 3 will be accessed via Nance Road. The project has been processed under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Negative Declaration and a Notice of Determination stating that the subdivision will not have a significant environmental effect. Technical requirements include a parcel map prepared by a licensed California Land Surveyor or Civil Engineer using the North America Datum of 1983. Infrastructure mandates include the installation of an approved water supply for fire flow per California Fire Code, the construction of three driveways on Nance Road, and the installation of non-contiguous sidewalks. Additionally, the project requires a grading and drainage plan to prevent cross-parcel drainage and may necessitate financial security, such as a road improvement bond or letter of credit, for off-site improvements. Final recordation of the map is contingent upon providing a tax certificate and a subdivision guarantee.
