Boundary adjustment and potential subdivision near Ahwahnee Way and Cree Drive
Summary
A family wanted to shift a lot line to flatten their hillside parcel so they could eventually split it and build a second home, offering a permanent open space easement and hiking trail in return. Neighbors feared it opened the door to more development on unstable slopes, and the Fire Department flagged access problems.

Impact analysis
The applicant claimed a future lot split could generate roughly $10,000-$20,000 a year in new property tax revenue for the City.
If the appeal had succeeded, the applicant family and possibly trail users would have benefited; the denial preserves the status quo for hillside neighbors.
The applicants cannot split their lot to build the larger family home they sought, though they may still build within existing rights.
