Kingsburg — The City Council voted to adopt an initial study and mitigation monitoring program and affirmed the planning commission’s approval of Planned Unit Development (PUD) 2025‑01, clearing two required city actions for a 44‑lot single‑family subdivision.

Community Development Director Holly Owen summarized the project as a semi‑infill subdivision west of 10th Avenue and south of Cam Avenue that largely mirrors a map previously approved in 2005. She described the proposal as 44 single‑family lots ranging from about 7,000 to 12,800 square feet with alley‑loaded options and pocket green space.

Developer Joseph (Joe) Crown told the council he had reassembled and resubmitted prior engineering work and complied with the North Kingsburg specific plan: "We're here for your blessing," he said, asking the council to approve the PUD so improvement plans and the final map can proceed.

The council voted to adopt resolution 2025‑066 approving the initial study and mitigation monitoring program, then adopted resolution 2025‑067 affirming the planning commission’s PUD approval. With those decisions passed, staff and the developer will proceed to plan check, engineering review and final‑map consideration; building permits follow after those steps and any required mitigation measures are implemented.

The project will be annexed into the city’s Community Facilities District (CFD) for assessments that support police, fire and public works impacts; because the site was previously annexed, no separate LAFCO annexation hearing is required for the CFD action. Two comment letters were received during the environmental circulation period and staff said responses were included in the record.

What happens next: After final engineering and improvement‑plan approval the council will consider the final map and a development agreement; construction and building permits would follow once those items are complete.
