SUBJECT: APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 18-04 (71885) WITH A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) TO SUBDIVIDE A 7.65 ACRE
PARCEL INTO TWO LEGAL LOTS LOCATED AT 618 MICHILLINDA
AVENUE AND 601 SUNSET BOULEVARD
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2025
SUMMARY
The applicant, Samir Khoury, on behalf of the property owner has submitted Tentative
Parcel Map application No. TPM 18-04 (71885) to subdivide a developed parcel that is
approximately 7.65 acres into two legal lots. The Tentative Parcel Map was previously
approved in 2013 by the Planning Commission as Tentative Parcel Map application No.
TPM 12-02. The applicant did not file the Final Parcel Map with the City, and the map
expired on August 13, 2015. The applicant is requesting approval of the same map. The
proposed subdivision is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Development Code and
Subdivision Map Act. The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as minor land divisions. It is recommended
that the Planning Commission approve TPM 18-04 (71855) subject to the conditions listed
in this staff report, and adopt Resolution No. 2025 (refer to Attachment No. 1).
BACKGROUND
The subject site has a total lot area of 7.65 acres (333,481 SF) and is located within the
General Commercial (C-G) Zone (refer to Attachment No. 2). The site is developed with
a 246,120 square foot commercial building and a 68,112 square foot 97-unit assisted
living facility. The commercial building was originally constructed in 1966 as a department
store (formerly Robinsons-May) and was converted to an office building in 1989. The
TPM 18-04 (71885)
618 Michillinda Avenue & 601 Sunset Boulevard
February 12, 2019 – Page 2 of 8
building was last occupied by the Vons Company corporate offices and an engineering
firm; however, it is currently vacant. The assisted living facility was conditionally approved
in 1984 under Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. CUP 84-19, and it is still currently in
operation. In addition, the site is developed with a subterranean parking structure
underneath the assisted living facility and a three-story semi-subterranean parking
structure for the office building. Improvements such as closing windows & vents located
along property lines created by the subdivision will be required; however, no new
construction or expansion to the existing building is proposed under this request.
PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting to subdivide the subject site into two separate lots to separate
the existing commercial and residential uses on the subject site - refer to Attachment No.
3. A portion of the sidewalk located at the southwest corner of Michillinda Avenue and
Sunset Boulevard is located on private property. As part of the subdivision, the applicant
will be required to dedicate approximately 722 SF to the City for sidewalk purposes. As
a result, Lot No. 1 would be approximately 39,156 square feet (0.90 acres) in area and
would include the existing assisted living facility and the subterranean parking structure.
Lot No. 2 would be approximately 293,603 square feet (6.74 acres) in area and include
the 246,120 square foot commercial building and the three-story parking structure. In
addition, as part of this subdivision, all the utilities will be required to be separated
including, but not limited to, waste, water, gas, electrical, and storm drain lines.
While the commercial and residential uses operate independently of one another, there
are portions of the buildings that are already integrated together that cannot be altered,
such as the loading dock for the commercial building that is currently accessed from the
subterranean parking structure beneath the assisted living care facility at 601 Sunset
Boulevard. Because the roof eave from the commercial building will overhang past the
property line, an easement will be required for this encroachment and a reciprocal access
easement to access the loading dock. A condition of approval to this effect has been
proposed – refer to condition of approval no. 4.
ANALYSIS
The proposed subdivision to create two lots will be subject to compliance with the Arcadia
Development Code, and the Subdivision Map Act. The application has been reviewed by
various City departments, including Building Services, Engineering, Public Works and the
Fire Department and there are no concerns with the subdivision. The request is the same
proposal that was previously approved by the Planning Commission in 2013; however, it
was reviewed for compliance with current regulations.
As part of the review, the Building Official and the Fire Marshal conducted a site inspection
to determine if there will be any potential implications that may occur from this subdivision
since these two buildings are somewhat connected together. There are a few
improvements the Applicant will have to make prior to approving the final parcel map to
ensure that all the vents will be redirected away from the new property line, remove any
TPM 18-04 (71885)
618 Michillinda Avenue & 601 Sunset Boulevard
February 12, 2019 – Page 3 of 8
openings that are on the property line or within three feet, and install fire protection at the
loading dock.
The existing site has a legal non-forming FAR of 0.94, which does not comply with the
0.5 FAR required by the Commercial Land Use designation and the C-G Zone. The
proposed subdivision would result in an FAR of 1.7 for the assisted living facility on Lot 1,
and a FAR of 0.83 for the commercial building on Lot 2. While the proposed subdivision
will increase the FAR on Lot 1 for the assisted living facility, it will not change the overall
FAR that was originally approved for this entire site by the Planning Commission. Both
newly created lots will continue to have non-conforming FARs as there is no practical
method to bring the lots into compliance without demolishing the existing buildings.
Therefore, approval of the proposed tentative parcel map is not expected to create any
impacts related to FAR, nor will the approval further intensify the uses from the proposed
subdivision.
FINDINGS
The proposal to subdivide the subject site into two Lots requires that they be subdivided
through the Tentative Map process. In addition to complying with the Subdivision
Ordinance, the following findings are required for approval of a Tentative Map:
A. The proposed map, subdivision design, and improvements are consistent
with the General Plan, any applicable specific plan, and the Subdivisions
Division of the Development Code.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed subdivision to subdivide one
parcel into two lots will be in compliance with the Commercial Land Use
Designation of the General Plan and the General Commercial (C-G) Zoning of the
subject site. In particular, the subdivision will comply with Land Use Policy LU-1.4:
Encourage the gradual redevelopment of incompatible, ineffective, and/or
undesirable land uses. The subject site is developed with two different land uses
that are not highly compatible with one another. Approving the tentative parcel map
will allow the two uses to be separated and function individually on their respective
lots. Lot 2, which has significantly more land area than Lot 1 will be better suited
for redevelopment if the assisted living facility is not part of the site.
The existing site has a legal non-forming FAR of 0.94, which does not comply with
the 0.5 FAR required by the Commercial Land Use designation and the C-G Zone.
The proposed subdivision would result in an FAR of 1.7 for the assisted living
facility on Lot 1, and a FAR of 0.83 for the commercial building on Lot 2. While the
proposed subdivision will increase the FAR on Lot 1 for the assisted living facility,
it will not change the overall FAR that was originally approved for this entire site by
the Planning Commission. Both newly created lots will continue to have non-
conforming FARs as there is no practical method to bring the lots into compliance
without demolishing the existing buildings. Therefore, approval of the proposed
TPM 18-04 (71885)
618 Michillinda Avenue & 601 Sunset Boulevard
February 12, 2019 – Page 4 of 8
tentative parcel map is not expected to create any impacts related to FAR, nor will
the approval further intensify the uses from the proposed subdivision.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed subdivision proposes to
subdivide a 7.65 acre (333,481 SF) improved lot into two legal lots that will
measure 39,156 square feet (0.90 acres) and 293,603 square feet (6.74 acres) in
lot area. The site is developed with a 246,120 square foot commercial building and
a 68,112 square foot 97-unit assisted living facility, which will remain in place as
part of subdivision. There is no development proposed as part of the subdivision.
The purpose of the subdivision is to separate the existing commercial and
residential uses on the subject site. Each newly created lot will be adequate in size
and suitable for the residential and commercial buildings.
C. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed subdivision will divide an existing
improved parcel located in an urban setting. There are no proposed improvements
as part of the subdivision. The subdivision will not cause substantial environmental
damage, nor are there any fish and/or wildlife or habitat on the subject property or
in the adjacent area that will be impacted.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health or safety problems.
Facts in Support of the Finding: Approval of the tentative parcel map is not likely
to cause serious public health or safety problems. The subdivision proposes to
subdivide an improved parcel into two lots for the purposes of separating the
existing residential and commercial developments on the site. The tentative parcel
map has been reviewed by various City departments including Building Services
and Fire Department to ensure compliance with applicable regulations; therefore
no impacts are anticipated.
E. 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.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The design of the subdivision will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision. Based on the proposed tentative parcel
map, there are no such easements on the subject site. In addition, as part of the
TPM 18-04 (71885)
618 Michillinda Avenue & 601 Sunset Boulevard
February 12, 2019 – Page 5 of 8
subdivision, the applicant will be required to dedicate 722 SF to the City for
sidewalk purposes along Michillinda Avenue.
F. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community
sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements specified
by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed project is for the subdivision of
one improved parcel; there are no improvements proposed as part of this approval.
The existing residential and commercial developments discharge sewage into
existing sewers and are not in violation of any existing requirements specified by
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. No change to existing
sewage discharge is proposed. Furthermore, the application has been reviewed
by the Public Works Services Department and no concerns regarding sewage
discharge were raised.
G. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, passive or
natural heating and cooling opportunities.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed tentative parcel map has been
reviewed by Building Services to ensure compliance with the California Building
Code, which includes requirements associated with heating and cooling
requirements. While there is no new construction or expansion to the existing
buildings proposed as part of the subdivision, conditions of approval have been
included to ensure the subdivision complies with the California Building Code.
H. The proposed subdivision, its design, density, and type of development and
improvements conforms to the regulations of the City’s Development Code
and the regulations of any public agency having jurisdiction by law.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The tentative parcel map has been designed to
comply with the regulations of the City’s Development Code, in particular with the
requirements of the General Commercial Zone and Subdivision Ordinance. In
addition, the tentative parcel map has been reviewed by all applicable public
agencies to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
The proposed subdivision should not be approved if the Planning Commission is unable
to make any of the above-mentioned findings.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed subdivision will subdivide an improved commercial-zoned parcel into four
of fewer parcels (two parcels); will comply with the General Plan and subject zoning, it
will not require variances or exceptions; access and services to proposed parcels will be
maintained; the parcel has not been involved in the division of a larger parcel within the
past two (2) years, and the parcel does not have an average slope of greater than 20

percent. Therefore, the subdivision is exempt under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions)
pursuant to Section 15315 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 4 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
