Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-05 January 12, 2009 Page 3 Analysis of the Issues The tentative tract map is necessary to subdivide the second floor of the newly constructed commercial building into 17 medical office condominium units. The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the City's zoning and subdivision regulations as well as the provisions outlined in the State of California Subdivision Map Act. The proposed project meets all provisions of the zoning code, including landscaping, setbacks, parking, lot size and frontage. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required for the project to maintain an owner's association and ensure the site functions as an integrated development. These CC&Rs must be approved by the City prior to the recordation of the final map.- Additional considerations such as signage and separate metering have also been addressed through the review and approval of a sign program for the development and the appropriate location and screening of gas, water and electric meters. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation and all other elements of the General Plan. The approval of this subdivision will improve the economic viability of the site by further diversifying the number and type of business in the development. This directly supports Policy 2.3 of the Economic Element of the General Plan which encourages the development of mutually beneficial and supportive business clusters within the community. As a result, staff recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 2008-05 (County Map 17257) as conditioned. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project is Categorically Exempt per Section 15301. This Class 1 exemption allows for the subdivision of existing commercial buildings where no physical changes occur. Environmental Review No. 2008-182 will be filed for this project.
