A. Tentative Map TM 18-02 (#18060015) application requests subdivision of
approximately 125.32 acres for build-out of the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen
neighborhoods of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan. The subject site is located
north of Santa Teresa Boulevard, between Merlot Drive and Miller Avenue. The site
comprises APN # 808-18-003, 808-18-024, 808-18-025, and 808-18-026. The approved
Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan anticipates residential land uses at various densities
in these neighborhoods. The requested map proposes to create 102 Village Lots in
the Nebbiolo neighborhood; 46 Compact Lots in the Malvasia neighborhood; and 23
Compact Lots in the The Glen neighborhood, for a total of 171 residential lots. This
subdivision would also create two public open space parcels for the construction of
the Santa Teresa trail; 22 private open space parcels that will be maintained by the
homeowners’ association; three lots for future development; and associated public
and private streets on property. This request is for mapping purposes only, and
details of the individual development of these lots are not a part of this proposal.
Future build-out of these lots will be in accordance with the specific plan. The
project site is located within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area and is
commonly known as Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen at Glen Loma Ranch.
Application filed by Tim Filice representing the Glen Loma Group, 7888 Wren
Avenue, Suite D143, Gilroy, CA 95020.
