Tentative Tract Map No. 2005-01 April 25, 2005 Page 3 result in a high quality project that will endure over time. In order to accomplish this evaluation, we rely upon the standards contained in the City's Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act and the goals and policies contained in the City's General Plan. In the case of the proposed project, there are two levels proposed: the creation of new legal parcels of land that in fee by a potential purchaser; and the creation condominiums which could be sold to multiple owners. of subdivision could be owned of air space The project site is located within Specific Development No.8, which establishes permitted uses and site landscape and development standards to guide development within the office park. The project complies with the standards set forth within the specific development plan. The project will be governed by the Brookhollow Office Park Master Association and sub-associations comprised of the owners of each of the six created parcels and a separate sub-association created for the multiple owners of the condominium units. Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) have been established for the project that address issues such as common access, parking, utilities, landscaping, architecture and maintenance for the planned development. The Subdivision Map Act [Section 66426(c)] requires that a project have approved access to a public right-of-way but does not set forth specific street frontage requirements, which is determined by the local jurisdiction approving the map. The common area parcels provide the necessary access and street frontage for all parcels within the project site (SAMC Section 34-68). The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) land use designation of the General Plan and the development standards outlined in Specific Development No.8. The design, configuration, and size of the proposed parcels and common lots are in conformance with the City of Santa Ana's requirements for the subdivision of property and the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. On March 14, 2005 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed proj ect . At the hearing, staff expressed concerns regarding subdividing the property into small parcels, the project's compatibility with the General Plan, and ancillary issues pertaining to parking, the California Building Code and creating multiple layers of CC&Rs. After receiving testimony from the applicant and the public, the Planning Commission continued the case and directed staff to complete the environmental documentation and develop conditions of approval for the proposed tentative tract map.
