Applications for residential subdivisions of under 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 site is a 17,155- square foot (0,39 -acre) lot on Pomona Street between Rene Drive and Spruce Street. The property is flat and rectangular in shape and is currently improved with a perimeter block wall. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low - Density Residential (LR -7), which allows for residential land uses. The zoning for the site is Single- Family Residence (R- 1), which allows for single- family residences. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use and the zoning designation. Land uses surrounding the site include single - family residences to the east and west, as well as multiple - family residences to the north and south across Pomona Street (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3). Project Description Bob Beers is requesting approval of a parcel map to subdivide an existing lot into two in order to facilitate the construction of two new single - family residences. The first lot will contain 8,581 square feet and will be improved with a new single - family residence and site upgrades, including landscaping and a perimeter wall. The second lot will contain 8,574 square feet and will be improved in a similar fashion with a new residence and site upgrades. The proposed development will satisfy the minimum requirements of the SAMC. EXHIBIT A 32A -3 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2015 -03 January 13, 2016 Page 2 The applicant has submitted preliminary architectural plans, including a site plan, floor plans, elevations, and a landscape plan. The proposed improvements comply with the minimum setback and lot coverage requirements. Subsequent plan check submittals will be subject to additional architectural and landscape review to ensure compliance with current architectural, design, landscape, and development standards applicable to single - family residential developments (Exhibits 4, 5 and 6). Proiect Background The through lot that is the subject of this application was shown on assessor's parcel maps as early as March 1974. Historic records indicate that the subject parcel has always been vacant, although the perimeter wall was constructed in the 1970s. In August 2014, the applicant submitted applications and plans to divide the lot into two roughly equally- sized properties and to construct a single - family residence on each resulting vacant lot. Since that time, staff has worked with the applicant to address required site improvements, correct various items on the tentative parcel map, and refine the proposed single- family residences. Project Analysis Subdivision requests are governed by Chapter 34 and Chapter 41 of the SAME. Tentative parcel map requests may be granted when it can be shown that the project is consistent with the General Plan; conforms to all applicable requirements of the zoning, subdivision, and other applicable City codes and ordinances; is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project; will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat; will not cause serious public health problems; and will not conflict with easements necessary for public access. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the LR -7 land use designation. Moreover, the proposed subdivision is consistent with several policies within the Land Use Element of the General Plan, including: Policy 1.5 (Maintain and foster a variety of residential land uses in the City) and Policy 3.1 (Support development which provides a positive contribution to neighborhood character and identity). Moreover, the proposed subdivision conforms to the minimum requirements as well as meets the letter and intent of the State of California Subdivision Map Act provisions. The project is in keeping with the site plan review for the project as well as Chapters 34 and 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Further, there are no physical constraints on the site that preclude development of the site. The proposed site consists of approximately 0.39 acres of land that is physically suitable for the residential development as proposed. The proposed subdivision will not cause any substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat. The 32A -4 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2Q15 -03 January 13, 2016 Page 3 parcel is located in an urbanized area, and there are no known fish or wildlife populations existing on the project site. The proposed subdivision will not have any detrimental effects upon the general public and qualifies for a categorical exemption under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Additional information is provided in the CEQA analysis section of this report. Finally, the design or improvements of the proposed project will not conflict with easements necessary for public access through or use of the property within the proposed project since there is no public access easement located within this property (Exhibit 7). Public Notification The project site is located within the boundaries of the Shadow Run 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 pasted 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 and tenants 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 This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act. The project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15303. This Class 3 exemption allows in -fill developments for the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, such as the proposed project. The project entails subdividing an existing residential lot into two residential lots of roughly equal size and constructing one single- family residence on each lot. The project has been found by the City's development review agencies to not create any adverse impacts such as noise, traffic, or safety concerns. As a result, Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2014 -83 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. Moreover, approval of this item supports Goal No. 5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objectives No. 3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods) and No. 4 (support neighborhood vitality and livability). 32A -5 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2015 -03 January 13, 2016 Page 4 Conclusion Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2015 -03 as conditioned.
