Flores, Planning & Community Development Administrator By: Vanessa Quiroz, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2035 - APPROVING A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. TPM 18-08 (71642) AND A PLANNING COMMISSION ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION NO. PC AM 19-01 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) TO SUBDIVIDE A PARCEL INTO TWO (2) SEPARATE LOTS WITH SUBSTANDARD LOT WIDTHS AT 225 E. LONGDEN AVENUE Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2035 SUMMARY The Applicant, Twen Ma, on behalf of the property owners, Bin Hu and Junli Xiong, submitted Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18 -08 (71642) and Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 19-01 for the request to subdivide a single- family zoned parcel into two separate legal lots with substandard lot widths at 225 E. Longden Avenue. The subdivision was previously approved by the Planning Commission on July 26, 2011; however, the Applicant did not submit the final parcel map to the City within four years (this includes a two year automatic extension) and the map officially expired on August 5, 2015. The Applicant is requesting approval of the same parcel map. Although the two new parcels will have substandard lot widths, the subdivision is still consistent with the City’s General Plan, the Development Code, and the Subdivision Map Act. The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15315 and 15332 for an infill development that would be permitted under this subdivision in an urbanized area. It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2035 (refer to Attachment No. 1) approving Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-08 (71642) and Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 19 -01, subject the conditions listed in the staff report. TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 2 of 11 BACKGROUND The subject parcel is a 25,236 square foot, interior lot, that is zoned Single- Family Low Density Residential, (R- 1-7,500) and the General Plan land use designation is Low Density Residential - refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Vicinity. The existing parcel is located along E. Longden Avenue between S. 2nd Avenue and S. 3rd Avenue and completely surrounded by single- family residential zoned properties. In 2011, a tentative parcel map was approved for this property by the Planning Commission - refer to Attachment No. 3 for the Planning Commission Staff Report, dated July 26, 2011. The Applicant is now proposing the same map to subdivide the parcel into two lots with substandard lot widths at 68.21 feet, whereas 75 feet is required for this zoning area. The Los Angeles County, Department of Public Works did approve the tentative parcel on August 23, 2017 – refer to Attachment No. 4. However, the Applicant did not file the final parcel map within the approval period of four years, which was based-off of an initial two-year approval period and a two-year automatic approval extension per California Assembly Bill 118, therefore the map officially expired on August 5, 2015. Due to financial reasons, the Applicant was not able to move forward with the subdivision. The property is currently vacant. In 2014, it came to the City’s attention that the existing building was partially demolished. Both the City’s Code Services and Building Services Divisions required the complete removal of the building for structural and safety reasons. Since then, the site has remained vacant. PROPOSAL The request is the same request that was approved by the City in 2011, which is to subdivide the 25,236 square foot parcel into two separate legal lots with substandard lot widths – refer to Attachment No. 5 the Expired Tentative Parcel Map. The two newly created lots will have the same lot dimensions and the same total lot area, each at 12,618 square feet. The table below shows the proposed subdivisions. W ith the exception of the substandard lot widths, the proposed lots will exceed the minimum requirements in terms of lot depth and lot size. * Subject site TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 3 of 11 Proposed Subdivision Lot No. Width Depth Area 1 68.21 feet 185 feet 12,618 Sq. ft. 2 68.21 feet 185 feet 12,618 Sq. ft. Code Minimums: 75 feet 100 feet 7,500 Sq. ft. ANALYSIS The Development Code requires a minimum lot width of 75 feet for all new lots within the Single-Family Low Density Residential zone, R-1-7,500. The existing parcel has a lot width of 136.42 feet. The lot widths along E. Longden Ave within a 500 foot distance from the subject site vary in size, but none of the other lots are close to or exceed the lot width of the subject parcel – refer to the figure below. Because the subject parcel is located on a short block, the adjacent blocks were included along E. Longden Avenue since they are all part of the overall context of the neighborhood. Although the lots are proposed with substandard lot widths of 68.21 feet instead at 75 feet, approximately 7 feet less than the minimum requirement, there are seven other lots on this street and within close proximity along E. Longden Avenue that have substandard widths of less than 75 feet (refer to the “green” dots in the figure below). Therefore, the proposed subdivision with substandard widths is consistent with the existing lot dimensions that exist within this tract. 500 feet 500 feet 64 feet 65 feet 65 feet 61.87 feet 66 feet 62 feet 62 feet 136.42 feet 75 feet 75 feet 75 feet 80.23 feet 75 feet 75 feet 100 feet 83 feet 100 feet 100 feet 102.7 feet 87 feet 75.5 feet 73.85 feet : Lots with substandard widths *Figure 1. Substandard Lot Widths along E. Longden Avenue TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 4 of 11 The proposed subdivision will comply with the density for this site, which allows up to six (6) dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision with the modification to reduce the lot widths will be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the Development Code. Although the tentative parcel map was previously approved in 2011, the project was reviewed as if it was a new project by all the various City Departments to ensure compliance with current regulations and standards. None of the departments had any concerns with the proposed subdivision. FINDINGS Tentative Parcel Map The request to subdivide an existing parcel into two separate legal lots requires that they be subdivided through the Tentative Parcel Map process – see Attachment No. 6 for the Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18 -08 (71642). The proposed subdivision complies with the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code, the Development Code, and the State 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. 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 Low Density Single-Family Residential of the General Plan designation and the Single-Family Low Density Residential zoning of the subject site. In particular, the subdivision will comply with Land Use Policy LU-1.1: Promote new infill and redevelopment projects that are consistent with the City’s land use and compatible with surrounding existing uses. The two lots will remain as single-family residential zoned lots. The proposed subdivision with the reduced lot widths will be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Development Code. B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development. Facts in Support of the Finding: The site is suitable to create two new lots and they will be consistent in terms of its lot dimensions and area with the other lots along E. Longden Avenue and within this existing tract development. Having two lots rather than one larger parcel is more appropriate for future development within this single-family residential area. The proposed subdivision will comply with the density for this site, which allows up to six (6) dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the proposed subdivision with the substandard lot widths meets the intent of this finding. TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 5 of 11 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 subject site was developed with a single- family home within an established residential neighborhood, and within an urbanized area. Therefore, the proposed subdivision would not cause any substantial environmental damage to any fish or wildlife habitat. 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 a parcel into two lots. The tentative parcel map has been reviewed by various City Departments including Public Works Service Department 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 (This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision). Facts in Support of the Finding: There are no easements that are required from the subdivision that requires the public at large to access through. Therefore, the proposed subdivision and any future development of the sites will not conflict with any such easements. 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 subdivision will result in the creation of two single-family residential zoned lots within an established single- family neighborhood. The site is already served by the City’s existing infrastructure. Therefore, no upgrades or new infrastructure is required and the subdivision will not result in a violation of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board’s requirements. TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 6 of 11 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 subdivision will allow for the opportunity for any future development on these two lots to incorporate passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities. 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 proposed subdivision with the exception of the modification to reduce the lot widths is consistent with the City’s Subdivision Division of the Arcadia Development Code, General Plan, and Subdivision Map Act. Administrative Modification Development Code Section 9105.09.030 allows a modification to lot area, depth, and width requirements for new parcels. Pursuant to Section 9107.05.050(B) of the Development Code, it is required that the Planning Commission makes at least one of the following findings in order to approve the subject modification request: 1. Promote uniformity of development; 2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship; or 3. Secure an appropriate improvement of a parcel The proposed subdivision of one parcel into two lots with substandard lot widths will promote uniformity of development and allow for an appropriate improvement of the two new lots. Given that there are seven other lots along E. Longden Avenue that have substandard lot widths that range from approximately 62 feet to 66, the proposed lot widths from 75 feet to 68.21 will continue to promote uniformity with the other lots within the same tract development. Furthermore, the existing land-use pattern within this tract development currently have lots with substandard lot widths. Therefore, reducing the lot width and subdividing the large parcel into two lots will make fu ture development more compatible with the other homes on the street. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT It has been determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as the subdivision would allow for the development of two single-family homes and four or less parcels will be created under this subdivision per Section 15315. It is also exempt pursuant Section 15332, since the approval would allow for the infill development of two single -family homes TPM 18-08 (71642) and PC AM 19-01 225 E. Longden Avenue September 10, 2019 – Page 7 of 11 within an established single-family residential neighborhood. Refer to Attachment No. 6 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
