BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Shapell Homes, a Division of Shapell Industries, Inc., has requested the termination of a portion of the offer of dedication of a LME filed July 29, 2013, on Subdivision 06-9134. It has been determined that a portion of the offered area is not required and will not be used for the purpose for which it was dedicated.
In September of 2006, an Addendum to the 1992 Environmental Impact Report (State Clearing House [SCH] No. 91053014) and the 1996 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 96013003) was prepared by the Community Development Department to consider the environmental effects of the proposed amendment to the Dougherty Valley Specific plan relating to the Gale Ranch Middle School relocation. It has been determined that terminating and abandoning a portion of the offer of dedication will not have a significant effect on the environment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa County may be responsible for the maintenance of an easement that is not required for the purpose for which it was dedicated.
