Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017 -01 March 8, 2017 Page 3 Proiect Backaround and Chronolo In December 2015, an application was submitted to process a parcel map subdivision to an existing parcel located at 2001 West Trask Avenue. The application was then processed through the City's Development Review Committee and after several informal re- submittals the design was approved in December of 2016. In January 2017, the applicant proceeded to submit the formal discretionary application to approve a parcel map in order to subdivide the existing lot into three parcels. On February 15, 2017, the Zoning Administrator held a duly noticed public hearing on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017 -01. During the hearing, several members of the public voiced concerns regarding the size of the proposed residential structures and the proximity to the side yard lot lines. It was determined by the Zoning Administrator that the items in question along with a discrepancy in the information on the architectural plans required further clarification. The Item was continued to a later date to allow staff to meet with the applicant to discuss the issues that were raised at the meeting. Staff met with the applicant shortly after the initial meeting in February to discuss the items identified by the Zoning Administrator. The applicant revised the architectural plans, addressing the concerns of the public and those raised by the Zoning Administrator. 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 6). The applicant is seeking approval of a tentative parcel map to subdivide an existing parcel of land into three lots. Upon completion of the subdivision, the lots will continue to be utilized for residential use in the form of single - family structures. Since this application is to subdivide a lot and approve a conceptual design of the new single family homes, no major issues were identified with the proposal since the design and site improvements did not require additional discretionary approvals.
