DBA No. 2020-01/SPR No. 2020-01/SPR No. 2020-02/VAR No. 2020-05/TPM No. 2020-02 Third & Broadway Mixed -Use Development September 28, 2020 Page 11 Tentative Parcel Map 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 must be made to show consistency with the General Plan, conformance to all applicable City ordinances, the project site being physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, the proposed project not causing substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, not causing serious public health problems, or not conflicting with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property. The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map for condominium purposes to subdivide the 1.41-acre parcel into two parcels, create three airspace parcels and to provide public and emergency vehicle access to a private street and sidewalks (Exhibit 13). The subdivision is not to create residential condominium units for sale and ownership. The airspace parcels that are being created are referred to as condominium units and allow the parcels to have separate interests. The two parcels include Parcel 1 (the mixed -use residential building) and Parcel 2 (the hotel building). Parcels A, B, and C represent airspace parcels (set horizontal and vertical limits) of the parking areas within the structure for separate interests. The building and common areas will be managed by Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). In reviewing the project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the various provisions of the SAMC and General Plan, including lot size and lot frontage. 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 map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapters 34 and 41 of the Municipal Code. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) An addendum to a previously certified EIR is prepared when a lead agency is asked to approve modifications to an existing project for which an EIR has already been certified. An addendum evaluates the requested modifications and determines whether subsequent EIR review is required. Since none of the conditions specified in State CEQA Guidelines, section 15162 are present, an Addendum to the previously -certified 2010 EIR was prepared for the Third and Broadway project. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164(b), an addendum to a previously -certified EIR is not circulated for public review. The Addendum is included with this staff report as Exhibit 14. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15164(d), the Planning Commission must consider the Addendum together with the TZC's original 2010 EIR before making a decision on the project. Previous CEQA Documentation The 2010 TZC EIR (SCH No. 2006071100) anticipated potential development of approximately 4,075 residential units, 387,000 square feet of retail development, and an additional 15.5 acres of open space within the City. The 2010 EIR considered the environmental impacts related to 75A-53
