5. Public hearing and consideration of Ordinance No. 2026-046 vacating a portion of a municipal utility easement located five feet inside the northerly lot line and within the adjacent common area of Lot 406, Desert Color Resort Phase 4B and Phase 6.
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Lot 406 is currently configured with common area on its northern and western borders. The applicant is requesting the easement vacation to expand the property's northern boundary line into the adjacent common area to construct a slightly larger home. By vacating the requested municipal utility easements, some of which are designated in the common area, and by amending the subdivision plat, Lot 406 will increase in size. The required municipal utility easements on the proposed configuration of Lot 406 are proposed with the application of the subdivision amendment.

BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The City approved a hillside Ridge Line Map a number of years ago that designated on this map all ridgelines that were defined as a Cuesta Ridge or a Plateau Ridge. A ridgeline defined as a Cuesta Ridgeline was given a 100-foot set back from the ridgeline to any structure and a ridgeline defined as a Plateau Ridgeline was given a 50-foot setback from the ridgeline to any structure. All other ridgelines within the hillside overlay zone were given a 30-foot setback from the ridgeline to any structure. With the approval of the Ridge Line Map, the ridgelines along the south and west sides of this parcel were designated as a Cuesta with the 100-foot setback to the structure. The Hillside Review Board unanimously recommended approval of the hillside permit to change the west ridgeline on this parcel from a Cuesta Ridgeline as shown on the City's Ridgeline Map to a Ridgeline. The Planning Commission recommended approval, with a 5-2 vote.
