The building is set back 88' from the front property line, 48'6" from the rear, 30' from the west side, and 18' from the east side. A shared driveway with the property to the east provides access to the project from Dinah Shore Drive. Since the approval date the building has been constructed and operating as office and industrial use. Staff Report Case No: TPM 35978 Date: May 20, 2008 Page 2 of 4 B. General Plan Designation and Zoning: General Plan: I-B.P. Industrial — Business Park Zoning: S.I. Service Industrial C. Adjacent Zoning and Land Use: North: Interstate 1-10 South: Service Industrial/ Glass Block Products East: Service Industrial/ Vacant West: Service Industrial/ Vacant III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The request for the new tentative parcel map will allow the owner to subdivide a .97 acre parcel with an existing 9,886 square foot building into five separate parcels for sale purposes, with a reciprocal parking agreement for the tenant/customer parking lot. The Subdivision Map Act requires that a parcel map be recorded in order to further subdivide the property. In addition, a condition of approval requires that the applicant file a reciprocal easement for parking, access, drainage and the use of trash enclosures. IV. ANALYSIS: In the following section, findings consider the effect of subdividing the one lot into five, and that the resulting new lot lines would allow the existing development to remain consistent with the surrounding environment. Findings of Approval: 1. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. • The proposed Parcel Map is consistent with the Industrial-Business Park designation in the General Plan and with the approved precise plan of development. 2. That the design or improvements of the proposed map are consistent with applicable general and specific plans. • The proposed design of the five new parcels would not cause a negative impact to the existing design, would comply with all zoning ordinance requirements, and would retain consistency with the type of development stated in the Industrial-Business Park area General Staff Report Case No: TPM 35978 Date: May 20, 2008 Page 3 of 4 Plan designation. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. • The site is currently developed with a suitable building, parking, and pedestrian pathways. The proposed splitting of the parcel would not cause change to the existing development pattern. • Improved streets with necessary utilities currently serve the property. 4. That the site is physically suitable for industriaVoffice development. • The site is within an existing industrial business park and all created lots meet development standards for the City's zoning ordinance and General Plan. 5. That the design of the Parcel Map or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. • The subject property was previously evaluated as part of Precise Plan 05-14 and an Environmental Assessment was prepared. The improvements have already been constructed, so this subdivision will not result in any physical changes to the environment and, therefore will not result in environmental damage. 6. That the design of the parcel or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. • The design of the parcel map is consistent with all provisions of the zoning ordinance with respect to public health safety and welfare. Any development on the proposed parcels will meet City development standards and the California Uniform Building Code. 7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. • There are no known public easements traversing through the site that will be affected by the subdivision. Staff Report Case No: TPM 35978 Date: May 20, 2008 Page 4 of 4 V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The application is a Class 15 categorical exemption for purposes of CEQA and no further documentation is necessary. VI. CONCLUSION: The request to subdivide a .97 acre parcel with an existing 9,886 square foot building into five parcels with a reciprocal parking agreement for tenant/customer parking for a property located at 73-760 Dinah Shore will not cause any adverse impacts to the surrounding area, or to the quality of surrounding environment.
