TPM No. 2018-02 — Subdivide Parcel at 2110, 2114, & 2020 E. First Street August 20, 2019 Page 3 tentative parcel map for two airspace condominium units in August 2018. Proposals to create subdivisions of less than five parcels, such as the current project, require review and approval by the Zoning Administrator. Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC and the State Subdivision Map Act. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act, applications for tentative parcel maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be made in support of the request. Specifically, these findings require that the proposed project be: • Consistent with the General Plan; • In conformance with all applicable City ordinances; • Physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project; • Designed to not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat; • Designed to not cause serious public health problems; and • Designed to not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property must be made. 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 parcel map. The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map to subdivide the subject parcels into a single lot with two air -space condominium units, one per entitled building on the site. In conjunction with the parcel map, the applicant intends to start construction on the mixed -use development entitled by the Planning Commission on June 4, 2018 (Site Plan Review No. 2017-9). Since this application is to create two air -space condominium units, no major issues were identified with the proposal. In reviewing the project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the various provisions of the City's Zoning Code, the C-2 zoning district and MEMU Overlay Zone standards, with the exceptions of setbacks, parking, open space, and driveway widths, which require approval of concessions and waivers as identified in the proposed density bonus agreement. Conditions of approval are proposed for the map to ensure the development site is maintained and does not become a blight on the area, and that the project's required density bonus agreement be approved prior to approval and recording of the final map. No adverse environmental impacts to fish or wildlife populations were identified as the project site is located in a built -out, urbanized area. Finally, the tentative parcel map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapters 34 and 41 of the Municipal Code. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the initial project, Site Plan Review No. 2017-09, considered by the Planning Commission on June 4, 2018, was determined to be adequately evaluated in the previously certified EIR No. 2006-01 as per Section 15162 of the CEQA guidelines.
