City Council action completes subdivision process for new neighborhood south of Highway 50
The Folsom City Council approved the final subdivision map Tuesday for a 49-home neighborhood in the Folsom Ranch development area south of Highway 50, marking another step in the continued buildout of the city’s largest master-planned community.
The council’s action authorizes the city to accept offers of dedication associated with the Toll Brothers at Folsom Ranch Phase 1A subdivision and approves the final map for the project, completing the subdivision process for that portion of the development.
The neighborhood will consist of 49 single-family high-density residential lots located on the north side of White Rock Road, west of East Bidwell Street and south of Mangini Parkway within the Folsom Plan Area.
According to a staff report prepared by Public Works Director and City Engineer Rebecca Neves, the vesting tentative subdivision map for the Toll Brothers project was originally approved by the Folsom City Council in March 2020 as part of the larger Phase 1 development plan for the area.
The subdivision will create 49 single-family high-density residential lots consistent with the zoning and unit counts outlined in the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan.
City staff reported that the final map and all related conditions of approval were reviewed by the Public Works and Community Development departments and found to be in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map and city requirements.
The Phase 1A site also previously served as the model home complex for the Regency development in Folsom Ranch. Because improvements on the site were completed several years ago and have already passed the one-year warranty period, staff determined that a subdivision improvement agreement was not necessary for this phase.
Under California’s Subdivision Map Act and the city’s subdivision ordinance, final maps for residential subdivisions must be approved by the City Council before lots can be recorded and development can proceed.
The subdivision encompasses roughly 8.8 acres and includes residential lots along private neighborhood streets along with several common-area parcels that will be maintained through a homeowners association.
City officials also noted that with the approval of the Phase 1A map, all other final maps associated with the broader Regency project had already been approved, making this the final subdivision map remaining for that portion of the development to come before the council.
Environmental review for the project was previously completed through an addendum to the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan environmental impact report adopted by the city in 2020. Staff determined that no new environmental document was required because the project would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts beyond those already analyzed.
