AMENDED NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR VESTING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP #25-0013, AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION public hearing will be held by the Merced City Planning Commission on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as may be heard in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 678 W. 18th Street, Merced, CA, regarding Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map #25-0013 initiated by Golden Valley Engineering, applicant for Paramjit Singh & Jaswinder Kaur, property owners. This application involves the subdivision of approximately 3.38 acres into 17 single-family lots ranging in size from approximately 5,565 square feet to approximately 14,579 square feet. This proposed project would create a new cul-de-sac going south off East Childs Avenue. The subject site is at 2500 E. Childs Avenue, generally located south of East Childs Avenue, approximately 500 feet east of Brimmer Road within a General Plan designation of Low Density Residential (LD) and a Zoning classification of Low Density Residential (R-1-5). The subject site is more particularly described as a portion of Adjusted Parcel 1 as shown on that certain parcel map entitled "Parcel Map for Truth Tabernacle", recorded in Volume 04, Page 24, in Merced County Records; also known Assessor's Parcel Number 061-261-002. (The original Public Hearing Notice described two design options for the subdivision. This notice is being amended on October 29, 2025, to reflect that the project will now proceed with a single design option, which includes the creation of a new cul-de-sac from Childs Avenue. The alternative option, which would have extended Rye Street to Childs Avenue, will no longer be considered). An environmental review checklist has been filed for this project, and a Categorical Exemption has been prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act. A copy of this staff evaluation is available for public inspection at the City of Merced Planning Department during regular business hours, at 678 West 18th Street, Merced, CA, or on the City's website at www.cityofmerced.gov. A copy of the exemption is also available by request by emailing planningweb@cityofmerced.gov. All persons in favor of, opposed to, or in any manner interested in this request for a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map are invited to attend the meeting in person or comment via email.
