A.      Newton Commercial Tentative Parcel Map application:    Council will consider application for a vesting tentative parcel map for the minor subdivision of approximately 303 acres on three parcels in the City of Weed (APNs 060-531-160, 060-641-050 and 090) resulting in a 22-acre parcel, 6-acre parcel, 44-acre parcel and a 230-acre remainder.  The parcels are located off Vista Drive at South Weed Boulevard in the City of Weed and are an extension of the Mountain Meadows Subdivision. The parcel is zoned General Commercial and Open Space within the City of Weed Zoning Ordinance. No change in land use or zoning is being proposed. All improvements have been completed and the requested action is only a subdividing of land, which would have no environmental impacts. As there would be no change to the environment as a result of the proposed minor division of land, the City is recommending a general rule exemption from CEQA as outlined in Government Code §15061(b)(3).
