Project Background The subject properties were developed with single-family residential units in the 1940s and no major alterations and/or additions have been made since. Dania Investment, LLC, purchased the properties in 2014 with the intent of redeveloping the site. A development project application (DP No. 2014-08) was submitted to the Planning Division in 2014 for the subdivision and redevelopment of the properties. Since then, the applicant has been working with Planning and Public Works staff to address code requirements and to ensure the proposed development is integrated and compatible with the surrounding community. Prnjwect Analysis Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and Section 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act, applications for tentative tract maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be made in support of the request. Specifically, findings related to the proposal need to be made that find the project is: consistent with the General Plan; the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed use; the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat; the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems; and the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the applicant's request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants approval of the tentative tract map. The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative tract map to subdivide two existing lots into six lots and construction of a private street to facilitate the construction of six new single-family residences.

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) will be adopted to define the operating and maintenance requirements for the lots and private street to ensure proper maintenance. In addition, the CC&Rs will also create a property owner's association responsible for maintenance and enforcement of the CC&R provisions.
