Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-02 October 5, 2016 Page 2 located at 2740 South Bristol Street, will be 82,710 -square -feet in size and will contain the second building with 155 parking spaces (Exhibit 4). No new development is proposed nor contemplated at this time. Project Background In June 1972, the City Council approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 741, which created three commercial parcels, including the subject parcel, on South Bristol Street. Concurrent with the parcel map request, the City Council approved Variance No. 72-43, which reduced the required parking for the site. In 1973, building permits were issued for the construction of the two 29,841 -square -foot buildings that are currently located on the site. In early 2016, the applicant submitted an application to subdivide the lot into two properties and allow for the individual sale of the buildings to separate owners. Proposals to create subdivisions of less than five parcels, such as the current project, require review and approval by the Zoning Administrator. Project Analysis Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAMC. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 and 66474 of the California Subdivision Map Act, applications for tentative parcel maps are approved when it can be shown that findings can be made in support of the request. Specifically, findings related to the proposal being consistent with the General Plan, the site is in conformance with all applicable City ordinances, the project site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project, the proposed project will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat, the proposed project will not cause serious public health problems, or the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property must be made. Using this information staff has prepared the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report. In analyzing the applicant's request, staff believes that the following analysis warrants approval of the tentative parcel map (Exhibit 5). The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map to subdivide an existing parcel of land into two lots for sale to separate owners. No new construction is proposed or contemplated for either building at this time. The lots will continue to be utilized for office and commercial purposes for the foreseeable future. Since this application is to subdivide a lot only, no major issues were identified with the proposal. In reviewing the project, staff determined that the proposal as conditioned is consistent with the various provisions of the City's Zoning Code and General Plan, including lot size, lot frontage, setbacks, lot coverage, and parking. Further conditions of approval have been included to bring the site's landscaping, lighting, trash enclosures and bicycle parking into 32A-4
