Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Tentative Parcel Map request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 26th day of June 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred B. Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above - referenced public hearing on June 26, 2019, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to a project site located at the southeast corner of Lemon Avenue and Day Lily Court. The specific location of the project site is 9923 Lemon Avenue; and b. The General Plan Land Use designation of the project site and the properties surrounding the subject property is Low Residential. The Development Code zoning designation of the project site and the properties surrounding the subject property is Low Residential (L) District; and C. The project site is approximately 27,201 square feet, or 0.63 acres. The properties to the south and east of the project site are developed with single-family residences on lots of roughly 1/3 the size of the project site. The project site is bounded by Lemon Avenue along the north property line and Day Lily Court along the west property line. The frontage along Lemon Avenue is approximately 121 feet in length. The frontage along Day Lily Court is approximately 200 feet in length; and d. The subdivision creates two separate residential lots. Parcel 1 is located to the north and is approximately 18,746 square feet in area. Access onto Parcel 1 is provided via two PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-41 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM20098 — JAIME CAMPOS June 26, 2019 Page 2 existing residential driveways located along Lemon Avenue and Day Lily Court. Parcel 2 is located to the south of Parcel 1 and is approximately 8,455 square feet in area. Access to Parcel 2 will be provided by a single driveway located along Day Lily Court; and e. The project site is currently improved with a single-family residence and detached garage. The residence and garage are located approximately at the center of the existing lot. The proposed subdivision locates the existing residence and garage on Parcel 1. Parcel 2 will remain vacant and is intended for the future development of a single-family residence. 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 as follows: a. The design and layout of the subject Tentative Parcel Map will be consistent with the General Plan and Development Code. The project site is being subdivided to facilitate the development of a second residential lot similar in scale and size to other residential lots in the neighborhood. The layout of both lots is roughly rectangular. Parcel 1 has an existing residence and parcel 2 is intended for the future development of a second residential home. The use of both parcels is consistent with the Low Residential land use designation of the General Plan and the Low Residential (L) District designation of the Development Code. b. The site is physically suitable for the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision will subdivide an existing residential parcel into two residential lots. The Low Residential (L) District zoning designation of both parcels is consistent with other Low Residential (L) District parcels in the neighborhood. Both lots are intended for single-family residences and is similar in density to other residential lots in the neighborhood. C. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. The scope of the project is the subdivision of an existing residential lot into two separate residential lots. The project site is located within an existing residential neighborhood and has been previously graded. Additionally, no improvements are proposed within the scope of the project. Environmental and public health impacts will be reviewed if and when future development of the newly created Parcel 2 occurs. d. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The scope of the project is the subdivision of an existing residential parcel into two separate residential lots. The subdivision creates an additional residential lot similar in size to other residential lots in the neighborhood. Additionally, no improvements are proposed within the scope of the project. Environmental and public health impacts will be reviewed if and when future development of the newly created Parcel 2 occurs. e. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with existing public rights -of -way or easements. Previously constructed public rights -of -way and easements will remain as existing. Unobstructed access is provided to the individual proposed parcels from the existing public streets to the north and west of the project site. 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as a Class 15 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-41 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM20098 — JAIME CAMPOS June 26, 2019 Page 3 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 project site is can be adequately accessed and serviced by existing utility and city services. The project site was not involved in a division from a larger parcel within the previous 2 years, and the parcel does not have average slopes of greater than 20 percent. 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 and every condition set forth in the attached Conditions incorporated herein by this reference. 6.
