Map No. 2016-103) as conditioned.
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION
On October 5, 2016, the Zoning Administrator adopted a resolution approving Tentative Parcel
Map No. 2016-02 (County Map No. 2016-103) as conditioned to subdivide a parcel into two
commercial lots at 2720-2740 South Bristol Street located in the Planned Shopping Center (C-4)
zoning district. The Zoning Administrator made two changes to the recommended conditions of
approval outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). The first change was to Condition No. 3,
which now requires a landscape plan prior to map recordation, and Condition No. 4, which
clarifies that the covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) will cover pedestrian and
vehicular access, ingress and egress, and fencing.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval of a parcel map to subdivide an existing 3.42 -acre parcel of
land into two lots to facilitate the sale of the buildings to separate owners. If approved, AltaMed
Health Services intends to purchase the lot at 2720 South Bristol Street for use as a medical facility.
The AltaMed lot (Lot 1), known as 2720 South Bristol Street, will be a 66,426 -square -foot lot (1.52 -
acres) that will contain a two-story building and 127 parking spaces. Lot 2, known as 2740 South
Bristol Street, will be an 82,710 -square -foot lot (1.90 -acres) with a two-story building and 155
parking spaces. No new development is proposed nor contemplated at this time. Full-sized plans
are available for public viewing in the Clerk of the Council Office.

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

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.
