d. The application is for the subdivision of an oversized parcel totaling 19,252
square feet, or 0.48 acres of land, into two numbered parcels for residential purposes. Parcel 1
encompasses the western section of the property totaling 11,582 square feet. Parcel 2
encompasses the eastern section of the property totaling 7,501 square feet; and
e. The newly created parcels comply with each of the applicable development
standards for the Low (L) Residential Zone as demonstrated in the table below:
Development Standard Requirement Proposed Lots Compliance
Minimum Lot Area 7,200 sq ft Parcel 1 — 11,582 sf Compliant
Parcel 2—7,501 sf Compliant
Minimum Lot Area 8,000 sq ft Parcel 1 — 11,178 sf Compliant
(Net Average) Parcel 2 —7,334 sf Compliant
Minimum Lot Width 65 ft Parcel 1 — 95 ft Compliant
Parcel 2 —65 ft Compliant
Minimum Lot Depth 100 ft Parcel 1 — 118 ft Compliant
Parcel 2— 118 ft Compliant
Minimum Frontage 40 ft Parcel 1 —95 ft Compliant
Parcel 2 —65 ft Compliant
f. The application as submitted includes no physical development of new
structures at the subject site.
g. The existing structure on Parcel 1 will meet required setbacks for the Low
Residential (L)zone under the new lot configuration. While the northern and southern lot lines are
not changing, staff notes that the required interior side yard setbacks for the Low Residential (L)
zone are 5 feet on one side, and 10 feet on the other. With the new lot configuration, the existing
structure on Parcel 1 will provide interior side yard setbacks at approximately 20 feet to the west,
which is an existing condition, and 15 feet to the new easterly property line.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes that the proposed subdivision, together with
its provisions for its design and improvements, is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation, Suburban Neighborhood Very Low, which is intended for single-family detached
housing and low-density residential uses. The subdivision is also consistent with the Low (L)
Residential Zone, which designates areas for single-family residential use. The design or
improvements of the subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and Development Code,
including minimum lot area and dimensions, as outlined in Table 17.36.010-1A of the
Development Code. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density of

development. While the final design package for the single-family residence has not been
submitted, the preliminary footprint for the future residence has been provided on a site plan to
illustrate where it may be located in the future. The project site is well suited for the proposed
single-family residence as it is in a residential zone and close in proximity to many other single-
family residences.
4. The Planning Department staff has 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 of work includes the subdivision of one
residential lot into two residential lots. Both lots will remain in conformance with the General Plan
and zoning, and no variances or exceptions are required. The Planning Commission finds that
there is no substantial evidence that the project will 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 condition set forth in the
attached Conditions of Approval incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 22ND DAY OF OCTOBER 2025.
