Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -02 June 4, 2014 Page 2 Street, will be approximately 6,756 square feet, while the second lot at 1134 West Highland Street will be approximately 6,755 square feet. A new single - family residence and detached garage are proposed to be constructed on the Highland Street lot. The proposed development will satisfy the minimum requirements of the SAMC. The applicant has submitted preliminary architectural elevations and a site plan, which complies with the minimum setback and lot coverage requirements. Subsequent plan check submittals will be subject to a thorough architectural and landscape review to ensure compliance with current architectural, design, landscape, and development standards applicable to single - family residential developments (Exhibits 4 and 5). Project Background The through lot that is the subject of this application was shown on assessor's parcel maps as early as March 1948. In 1961, the existing structure on the site was relocated to the property from 1614 South Sycamore Street. The original structure contained two residential units. In 2000, the structure was converted to a single - family residence that met the requirements of the SAMC in place at the time. The subject property was acquired by the current property owner, Tioga Pass Properties, LLC, in July 2013. Since then, the current owner has substantially rehabilitated the existing single - family residence on the site through a variety of improvements or repairs, including a new roof, installation of new windows, furnace, and a water heater, as well as repairs to the foundation. In January 2014, the applicant submitted applications and plans to divide the through lot into two roughly equally -sized properties and to construct a single - family residence on the resulting vacant lot. Proposals to create subdivisions of less than five parcels, such as the current project, require review and approval by the Zoning Administrator. General Plan and Zoning consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR -7). The LR -7 designation applies to areas of the City that are developed with lower density residential land uses, with an allowable maximum development density of seven units per acre. The proposed parcel map and single - family residence is consistent with the maximum allowable development density for this General Plan land use designation. The parcel is located within the Multiple- Family Residence (R -3) zoning district. The R -3 zoning district allows for the development of single- family residences pursuant to the provisions and development standards found in Division 3, Article III (Single - Family Residence) of the SAMC, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning designation. 32A -4
