Tentative Parcel Map No. 2007-06 December 20, 2007 Page 2 by the college as part of their expansion project. The applicant's proposal is for the consolidation of land only, with no development submitted with this application (Exhibits 3 through 5). Analysis of the Issues The Rancho Santiago Community College District is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map to consolidate 26 parcels into one lot. The consolidation action will implement the first phase of the Santa Ana College expansion project. The lots will be utilized for temporary parking until a new parking structure is built. Ultimately, the parcels will be occupied by an athletic field on the northern section of the lot, a maintenance/operations facility building on the southern section and surface parking on the remainder. Since this application is to consolidate individual lots only, no major issues were identified with the proposal. In reviewing the project, it was determined that the proposal is consistent with the various provisions of the City's Zoning Code and General Plan. Further, the certified environmental impact report for the Santa Ana College campus expansion did not identify any adverse environmental impacts related to the project. Finally, the tentative parcel map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2007-06 (County Map No. 2006-113) as conditioned. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15061(b)(3). This general rule exemption is applicable as the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2005-03 will be filed for this project.
