Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-05 January 12, 2009 Page 2 Project Description A tentative tract map is requested by Red Mountain Realty in order to subdivide the second floor of'a two-story commercial building into 17 medical office condominium unit. This subdivision will allow these units to be sold individually rather than leased. The units will range in size from approximately 1,500 square feet to 2,600 square feet and will make up the entire second floor of the building. The first floor will remain for lease as commercial tenant spaces. No specific tenants have been identified for these second floor units; however, there is adequate parking on-site to support either medical or general administrative office (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5). There are 687 parking spaces provided on site while 683 are required based on the current occupancies of the buildings and the assumption that the entire second floor of the building at 1945 East Seventeenth Street will be used for medical office. Additionally, landscaping has been provided on the site in excess of the requirements from the Municipal Code. This landscaping includes landscape fingers in the parking lot as well as a landscape buffer along the north and east property lines. The subject site received entitlements to construct several retail and restaurant buildings on the property in 1997. The construction of this project was proposed in two phases, with the OSH building and the Carl's Jr. restaurant being built in the first phase and two additional buildings to be built in the second phase. In 2006, the property owner submitted a plan for the second phase of development which consisted of a two-story building with the first floor occupied by restaurant uses and the second story with medical offices. With the various entitlements that were received in 1997 already acted upon, the requirements applicable to this submittal were that the project remains in compliance with the original conditions of approval and that the new buildings go through the site plan review process. Site plan review is an administrative process by which plans are submitted to all City agencies for review and comment. Site plan review for the revised plan was completed in 2006 and building permits were issued for the new buildings in April of 2008. 32A-3
