bk 10/8/09 RESOLUTION NO.2009-16 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2009-01 TO SUBDIVIDE AN EXISTING PARCEL INTO TWO PARCELS IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT TWO NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES AT 1013 SOUTH ELLIOTT PLACE (APPEAL NO. 2009-02) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2009-01 to subdivide a single parcel into two parcels in order to construct two new single family residences at 1013 South Elliott Place. The subject property is the Little Texas neighborhood. The subject property is a 14,674 square foot parcel located on the north side of Elliott Place between Regent Drive and Gates Street. The interior lot is rectangular in shape and has approximately 108 feet of street frontage. Currently vacant, building records indicate that a 1,607 square foot residence and garage previously existed on the property. A permit was issued and finaled in 2005 to demolish the structures. B. Tentative Parcel Map No. 2009-01 came before the Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a public hearing on September 9, 2009. Following a presentation by staff and testimony from the public, the Zoning Administrator adopted a resolution denying Tentative Parcel Map No. 2009-01 based on findings that the proposed subdivision was not consistent with the development pattern of the neighborhood and the project conflicted with several policies of the City's General Plan. The applicant has appealed the decision of the Zoning Administrator based on his claim that the subject property is close to other lots which are comparable in size to the ones that are being proposed as part of the subdivision request. The locations of the lots that are referenced are directly to the north of the subject property and between 1,203 and 2,435 feet away from the property to the south and southwest. C. The properties to the north of the subject parcel are located within a separate subdivision tract that was developed entirely independently of the subdivision in question. The subdivision to the north is not accessible from the "Little Texas" neighborhood by vehicle or by foot and, much like the Resolution No. 2009-16 Page 1 of 9 75A-19
