6.1.F. - Page 7 The filing of the tentative parcel map application was required in order to fulfill an outstanding condition of approval for Architectural Permit 83-10. The Architectural Permit was for a building expansion that would cross multiple property lines, and the condition of approval stated: "That a parcel map shall be filed showing all lots and abandoned streets combined into a single parcel." While the building was ultimately expanded, the parcel map and street abandonment was never filed. When the current property owner (i.e. the Applicant) applied for a tenant improvement building permit in 2016, the multiple parcels and the unfulfilled condition of approval were identified by the Engineering Division. No modifications to the site or the existing building are proposed as part of the Project. The merged parcels, including the portion of Hazel Avenue, have a combined total lot size of 37,114 sq. ft. and they are currently developed with a —14,300 sq. ft. office building and surface parking. The site is zoned General Commercial — Residential (CG - R), and surrounding land uses are primarily residential with some light industrial and commercial. The portion of the Hazel Avenue right-of-way to be merged into the proposed site will require abandonment by the City Council as part of the Final Map approval process. Public utility easements will be reserved/dedicated per the recommended conditions of approval attached herein. ANALYSIS Tentative Parcel Map (Subdivision Ordinance): Section 30.23 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance outlines the five required findings for Tentative Parcel Map approval, and requires the Subdivision Committee to disapprove a tentative parcel map if any of the following findings can be made: A. The map, design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are inconsistent with the general or specific plans, the Zoning Ordinance, or subdivision improvement requirements. The proposed lot merger is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The lot merger allows the creation of a single developable parcel and fulfills the outstanding condition of approval for Architectural Permit 83-10. B. The site is not physically suited for the proposed type and density of development. The project site is physically suited for the type and density of development that currently exists. The site is located within the General Commercial — Residential (CG -R) Zoning District and in a highly urbanized location. The western boundary of the site abuts Woodside Road and the site is generally flat with frontage and a driveway on Hazel Avenue. The site has historically been used for commercial uses and/or office uses, and is located in close proximity to other similar uses. No new development or site changes are proposed with this Tentative Map application. Page 2of3
