A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council grant the appeal and grant a one (1 ) year time extension to TPM
27419.
B. DISCUSSION:
Tentative Parcel Map 27419 would subdivide 17 acres into 19 industrial lots. The
minimum lot size proposed is 21 ,000 square feet; the SI zone requires a minimum
20,000 square foot lots. The property is located approximately one-half mile east of
Monterey Avenue, northerly of the future extension of Dinah Shore Drive and
southerly of the railroad.
Commercial parcel map 27419 was originally approved by the County of Riverside
June 18, 1992. In December 1992 the property was annexed to the city. Part of
the annexation process involved the City entering into a development agreement

APRIL 26, 2001
which term of the development agreement was for ten years after the date the
property was annexed into the city.
Over the years the applicant has filed for time extensions on TPM 27419 and they
have been approved by Planning Commission. In March of this year the applicant
filed for this one year extension which would be consistent with the development
agreement. Also, pursuant to the State Map Act and actions by the state legislature
(SB 428 and AB 771) this tentative parcel map has a potential life of ten years if time
extensions are granted by the City.
Staff took the matter before Planning Commission at its April 3, 2001 meeting where
it was denied. Planning Commission expressed concern that it had not reviewed the
original map and that nine years has passed since its approval.
April 13, 2001 the applicant filed this timely appeal.
The zoning and general plan of the property remain unchanged (i.e., SI - Service
Industrial) from that in effect in 1992. The map continues to be consistent with all
zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance and general plan provisions.
Past history has been to grant time extensions to maps that are still in compliance
with the zoning and the general plan. This map will expire on its own under the State
Map Act and the development agreement if it has not been recorded by June 18,
2002.
