f. The existing structure located on Parcel 1 is currently legal nonconforming as
the westerly building setback is only 3 feet instead of the required 15 feet from the adjacent
property line. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.62.030, the proposed subdivision will
not increase the degree of nonconformity of the existing structure, or create a new nonconformity;.
and
g. The application as submitted includes no development of the site.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed subdivision is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of
the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposal
is to subdivide a property with an area of 45,600 square feet into 2 numbered parcels. The
underlying General Plan Land Use Map designation is Suburban Neighborhood Very Low which
is intended for the development of low-density residential neighborhoods with a suburban
character; and
b. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code for the Very Low Residential (VL) Zone; and
C. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposal is for
the subdivision only and does not include any development of the site at this time.
4. The Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment based upon the findings as follows:
a. The Planning Department Staff have determined that the project is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and the City's
CEQA guidelines. The project qualifies as a class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15315— Minor Land Divisions. The project scope is for the subdivision of a residentially
zoned lot into two separate parcels. Both parcels are in conformance with the General Plan and
the Development Code's requirements for the Very Low Residential (VL) zone. Both parcels can
be adequately served by fire, public safety and utility services, and have driveway access onto
nearby roadways. Both parcels are relatively flat and do not have a slope greater than 20 percent.
The parcel proposed to be divided was not involved in a division from a larger parcel within the
previous 2 years. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect
on the environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in
the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
