BACKGROUND: On March 23, 2023, the Planning Commission  
approved the Tierra de Rosas (fka Roseland Village) Tentative Map  
Extension Request, by voting 5 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent. Tierra de

175 multi-family units, including 75 affordable units, a  
25,000-square-foot civic building, a 5,000-square-foot marketplace, and  
a 1-acre public plaza. The Planning Commission approval extended the  
period for filing the final map by one year, extending from December 25,  
2022, to December 25, 2023. On March 30, 2023, the City Clerk

Planning Commission to approve a one-year time extension for the
