Parcel Map, Variance, and Williamson Act Cancellation Application No. PLN2025-0022 – Silva Revocable Trust

Application No. PLN2025-0022, filed by the Silva Revocable Trust, is a land-use request to subdivide a 107.62 plus-minus acre parcel located at 20400 Armstrong Road in Crows Landing, California. The proposal seeks to create two new parcels of 5.32 plus-minus acres and 44.22 plus-minus acres, leaving a remainder of 58.08 plus-minus acres. Because the project is situated within the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district, it requires a variance to allow for a parcel smaller than the 40-acre minimum and a cancellation of a 5.32 plus-minus acre portion of Williamson Act Contract No. 1971-0364 to permit a parcel smaller than 10 acres. The lead agency for this action is Stanislaus County Planning and Community Development. The project is subject to several technical and regulatory requirements, including the necessity for independent water supply and septic facilities for each parcel. On-site wastewater systems must utilize primary and secondary treatment units operated under Measure X guidelines, and the final map must disclose the responsibilities and costs of maintaining these systems to prevent groundwater degradation. Additionally, the project must adhere to Local Agency Management Program standards and setbacks. Due to the location within a seismic design category D, E, or F hazard zone, soils tests and special engineering may be required during the building permit process. Administrative fees totaling 3,100.75 dollars were paid for the environmental impact report and water right application. The local public review period was scheduled from September 3, 2025, to October 8, 2025.
