Request of Applicant Jennifer Lange, representing AltaMed Health Services, is requesting approval of a tentative parcel map to subdivide a parcel into two commercial lots. Applications for commercial subdivisions of fewer than five parcels require approval of a parcel map by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Section 34-126 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). Project Location and Site Description The project is located on a 3.2 -acre parcel of land that is located on South Bristol Street between Central and Segerstrom Avenues across from Hemlock Way. The property is flat and semi -irregular in shape and is currently improved with a pair of two-story professional and medical office buildings that are each 29,841 -square -feet in size. The subject site is located in the Planned Shopping Center (C-4) zoning district and has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC). The existing uses are consistent with both the zoning and General Plan designations. Land uses surrounding the site include commercial uses to the north, south and east, with single-family residences to the west (Exhibits 1, 2, and 3). Project Description The applicant is requesting approval of a parcel map to subdivide an existing parcel of land into two lots to facilitate the sale of the buildings to separate owners. Lot 1, located at 2720 South Bristol Street, will be 66,426 -square -feet in size and will contain one building with 127 parking spaces. Lot 2, EXHIBITA 32A-3 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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-02 October 5, 2016 Page 3 compliance with current standards. Further, no adverse environmental impacts to fish or wildlife populations were identified as the project site is located in a built -out, urbanized area. Finally, the tentative parcel map was found to be consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code. Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Thornton Park Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was contacted by staff and was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no areas of concern were raised, nor had any correspondence, either written or electronic, been received from the neighborhood president or from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15315. This Class 15 exemption allows for the minor division of property provided it is in an urbanized area that is zoned for commercial uses, is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning, consists of four or fewer parcels, does not require any variances or other exceptions, was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the past two years, and does not contain an average slope of greater than 20 percent. As the project entails the subdivision of an existing parcel of land into two lots with no building expansion, the buildings and sites will be in compliance with all provision of the Municipal Code, no adverse environmental impacts will result from the subdivision of land, the project does not require any variances, and the proposal involves a relatively flat parcel, it has been determined that the project will not have an effect on the environment, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2016-13 will be filed for this project. Strategic Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 3 Economic Development, Objectives No. 2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies) and No. 5 (leverage private investment that results in tax base expansion and job creation citywide) of the Santa Ana Strategic Plan. 32A-5 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-02 October 5, 2016 Page 4 Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-02 as conditioned. 4 A --c- ('2') - Vince Fregoso, AIC Principal Planner VF:jm vflreports\TPM 16-2 AltaMed.100516.za Attachments: Exhibit 1 —Vicinity Map Exhibit 2 — Location Map Exhibit 3 — Existing Conditions Photo Exhibit 4 — Site Plan Exhibit 5 — Tentative Parcel Map 32A-6 TPM 2016-02 p� 2720-2740 SOUTH BRISTOL STREET ' ALTA MED PARCEL MAP — — = 500 FT£f 1" = 1000 FET P L A N N I N G A N D 8 U I L D I N G A G E N C Y B HIEIT 1 32A-7 265, WARNER AVE. 1 ( 2111. .1.1+u_J L� _ aoxA ,r m R4 � Rl �� C2 C2 TRI I— — RI R1 Rl R1 Rl Rl Rt RI R1 Z -PRD C4 IAS, II II _ - - znernn, nu.� eyu, IN II ..
