Tentative Parcel Map No. 2018-02 – AMG First Point Subdivision July 31, 2019 Page 2 Project Description The applicant is requesting approval of a parcel map to subdivide an existing site comprised of two lots into a single lot with two condominium units, one per each building that will be developed on the site. No subdivision for each residential or commercial unit is proposed, nor is a fee-simple subdivision proposed to create two fee-simple lots. Project Background AMG and Associates submitted plans for a mixed-use, affordable development at the subject site in August 2016. Through the Development Project Review process, the project was refined in scope to include a two-building development consisting of 552 affordable residential units and 10,000 square feet of leasable commercial space, landscaping, a leasing office, parking, and additional onsite amenities. Shortly after the development was approved by the Planning Commission in June 2018, the applicant expressed intent to submit a subdivision to create two parcels on the development site. The subdivision is intended to facilitate the development’s financing, which is split for each building due to the scale of the project and the mixed-use nature of the front building and the entirely- residential nature of the second building. The required Density Bonus Agreement for the project is subject to City Council approval as a separate item and remains pending as of the preparation of this Request for Zoning Administrator Action staff report. Staff worked with the applicant to ensure the subdivision type proposed would conform to City standards, and the applicant submitted the subject tentative parcel map for two 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. Project Analysis Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC. 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, findings related to the proposal being consistent with the General Plan, the site is in conformance with all applicable City ordinances, the project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, 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, or the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property must be made.

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 condominium units, one per entitled building on the site.
