SUBJECT: APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. TPM 18-06 (82386) WITH A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) TO SUBDIVIDE THE
AIRSPACE OF AN EXISTING TWO-STORY INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
INTO TWO CONDOMINIUM UNITS AT 11818 CLARK STREET
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2033
SUMMARY
The applicant, Andrew Clark, property owner of the subject site, is requesting approval of
Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-06 (82386) to subdivide the airspace of an existing
9,724 square foot, two-story industrial building into two condominium units. The proposed
subdivision is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Subdivision Code, and the State
Subdivision Map Act. The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as a subdivision of an existing facility. It is
recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2033 (Attachment No.
1) to approve Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-06 (82386) with a CEQA exemption,
subject to the conditions listed in this staff report.
BACKGROUND
The subject site measures 19,263 square feet, and is located within the Industrial (M-1)
zone, and has a Land Use designation of Industrial. The site is bounded by other M-1
zoned properties to the east, west, and south, and by a quarry, located within the City of
Irwindale, to the north. The subject site is developed with a 9,724 square foot two-story
industrial building that was constructed in 1989.
The building is currently vacant and has two (2) separate units that were utilized for
warehousing and accessory office space. The building consists of a concrete and
concrete block exterior finish (See Figure 2 for elevations). Parking for both units is
provided via the 23 on-site parking spaces located in the front of the property – refer to
Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject
Property.

PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to convert the existing two-unit industrial building into a two-
unit industrial condominium – refer to Attachments 3 and 4 for the Tentative Parcel Map
and Architectural Plans, and Figure 1 below for reference. There is no construction or
demolition proposed with this request since the building is already partitioned to function
as two (2) units. No site improvements or dedications are proposed or required with this
request.

ANALYSIS
The site has an existing two-story 9,724 square foot building (See Figure 2) that was
constructed in 1989. As part of the review process, the project was reviewed against the
current Development Code to ensure compliance with the current standards of the M-1
Zone. The existing building has a front yard setback of 73’-8”, a side and rear yard setback
of zero feet, which meets the required front, side, and rear yard setbacks of the M-1 Zone.
The height of the building is 28 feet, which complies with the subject zone’s maximum
height of 35 feet. The building has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.49, complying with the
0.50 FAR allowed in the M-1 zone. The site also provides 23 parking spaces on-site which
exceeds the 20 spaces required by the Development Code. Landscape planters are
provided throughout the existing parking lot and are well maintained. In addition, an
existing trash enclosure is provided in the parking lot, which complies with the minimum
standards (See Figure 1 for the existing Site Plan). Both the building and site are in good
condition; therefore, no improvements are required. Lastly, as part of the approval
process, the applicant shall be required to provide an easement at each of the drive
approaches for ADA access.
The proposed industrial condominium conversion 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.
FINDINGS
Tentative Parcel Map
The proposal to subdivide the airspace for two (2) industrial condominium units requires
a subdivision through the Tentative Parcel Map process – see Attachment No. final3 for
Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-06 (82386). The proposed subdivision complies with
the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act,
and will not violate any requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board. The following findings are required for approval of a Tentative Parcel Map:
A. All provisions of Section 9105.21 and all applicable provisions of this
Development Code are met.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed project will subdivide the airspace
of an existing industrial building into two (2) units with a tentative parcel map. No
Resolution No. 2033 –TPM 18-06 (82386)
11818 Clark Street
July 23, 2019 – Page 4 of 7
new construction or exterior changes to the existing building or site are proposed.
The existing industrial building meets current Development Code requirements for
the M-1 Zone. On-site parking is provided to meet the requirements of the
Development Code; landscape planters are well maintained and adequately
landscaped. Each unit is provided with adequate fire prevention systems
complying with Building and Fire Code standards. In addition, the existing building
is also maintained in good quality and has all the required utility connections
required per Building and Public Works.
B. The proposed conversion is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The project is consistent with the land use type
allowed under the Industrial Land Use designation. The project is consistent with
the following General Plan’s goals and policies:
Land Use and Community Design Element
Policy LU-7.2: Encourage industrial uses that provide employment and
revenue benefits to the City.
The condominium subdivision is going to provide an opportunity for a business to
own the property and operate at the same location. This is going to attract local,
well-paying employment businesses to the community, which will enhance the
City’s business vitality.
C. The proposed conversion will conform to all Municipal Code provisions in
effect at the time of tentative map approval, except as otherwise provided in
Section 9105.21.
Facts in Support of the Finding: As part of the review process, the project was
reviewed to ensure compliance with all applicable provisions of the Municipal
Code, including but not limited to, setbacks, height, and parking requirements. The
existing building has a front yard setback of 73’-8”, a side and rear yard setback of
zero, which meets the required front, side, and rear yard setbacks of the M-1 Zone.
The height of the building is 28 feet, which complies with the subject zone’s
maximum height of 35 feet. The building has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.49,
complying with the 0.5 FAR required in the M-1 zone. The site also provides 23
parking spaces on-site which exceeds the 20 spaces required by the Development
Code. Therefore, the proposal to subdivide the airspace to create two (2) industrial
condominium units will be in compliance.
D. The overall design and physical condition of the condominium conversion
will achieve a high degree of appearance, quality, and safety and is
appropriately conditioned to ensure this achievement.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposal to subdivide the airspace to create
two (2) industrial condominium units does not include any construction or
exterior/site modifications. The existing design and physical condition of the
Resolution No. 2033 –TPM 18-06 (82386)
11818 Clark Street
July 23, 2019 – Page 5 of 7
industrial building being converted is in a high degree of appearance and quality.
The site, which includes landscaped planters, a trash enclosure, code -compliant
parking is well maintained and includes parking lot lighting for security purposes.
Therefore, no improvements are required to bring the project into compliance.
The proposed tentative parcel map should not be approved if the Planning Commission
is unable to make any of the above-mentioned findings.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
It has been determined that the project is a subdivision of an existing industrial building,
where no physical changes occur; and that the project site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species, nor will it have any significant eff ects upon the
environment; and that the site can be adequately served by all the required utilities and
public services. Therefore, the project is exempt under Class 1 (Existing Facilities)
pursuant to Section 15301 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 5 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
