3. Carménère Estates 24-Lot Subdivision Vesting Tentative Map and CEQA Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
The 98-acre project site is comprised of two sites located in the Town of Loomis: a 37-acre
western site (APN 030-130-037) and a 61-acre eastern site (APNs 030-100-037, 030-110-011,
and 030-110-018), split by Delmar Avenue. The project would subdivide the site into 24 single-
family residential lots ranging from 2.3 to 4.7 acres in size, five accessory dwelling units (ADUs),
and associated utility improvements. Site access would be provided by two new roadways off
Delmar Avenue, one extending into the western site and one into the eastern site. The proposed
project would also include frontage improvements along Delmar Avenue. Development would
occur over three phases, starting on the western site. The existing General Plan designations
are Residential Agricultural (RA) and Residential Estate (RE), as is the existing zoning (RA and
RE). The proposed project would require Town approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision
Map. A CEQA Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project.

Tentative Map and CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration;

Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (SCH#2025070798), and recommending
the Town Council adopt the IS/MND and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP) that reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.

Estates Subdivision Vesting Tentative Map.
