This application is a request to extend the approval period of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605 for one (1) additional year. Upon the initial approval of SUBTT16605 on April 12, 2006, the approval period was for a duration of 3 years and was set to expire on April 12, 2009. Subsequently, this map was subject to one (1) discretionary time extension granted by the Planning Commission and several automatic time extensions granted through Senate Bill 1185 and Assembly Bills 333, 208, and 116. The most recent time extension occurred on March 23, 2016 when the Planning Commission approved Time Extension DRC2015-01110 extending the approval period for 1-year to April 12, 2017; and e. Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605 contemplated the subdivision of the subject parcel into eight (8) lots for condominium purposes (206 units). The applicant does not intend to construct the homes at this time; and f. The subdivision of the project site conforms to all applicable development standards applicable to property in the Mixed Use (MU) District. The Development Code does not identify minimum lot area, minimum lot width, or minimum lot depth requirements; and g. The subdivision of the project site for residential condominium purposes (and its eventual development) does not conflict with the Land Use policies of the General Plan, and will provide for development within the Mixed Use (MU) District in a manner consistent with the General Plan. h. The entitlement applications related to the Tentative Tract Map (Design Review DRC2003-00637, Variance DRC2005-01061, and Minor Development Review DRC2004-00826) expired on April 6, 2011. No time extensions for these applications were requested nor could they be granted as the option to extend the approval period for these types of applications was not available prior to 2012; and i. All future development of the site will require the review and approval of entitlement applications (i.e., Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, etc.), and will be subject to Planning Commission and/or City Council review and approval. 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 previously approved Tentative Tract Map for residential condominium purposes and the associated Time Extension for the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the City's current General Plan, specific plans, ordinances, plans, codes, and policies since all future development of the site will require the review and approval of entitlement applications (i.e., Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, etc.), and will be subject to Planning Commission and/or City Council review and approval. The proposed Time Extension for the Tentative Tract Map to subdivide the property into eight (8) parcels and is consistent with the development district of the project site; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-28 TIME EXTENSION DRC2017-00249— PACIFIC SUMMIT-FOOTHILL, LLC April 26, 2017 Page 3 b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed subdivision. The surrounding property to the north is developed with condominiums and single- family homes, the property to the south contains office, commercial, and condominiums uses, the property to the east contains Route 66 Trailhead and condominiums, and the property to the west contains the Sycamore Inn Restaurant and other commercial land uses; and c. The proposed subdivision, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project is to subdivide the property into eight (8) parcels — no development of the site is proposed; and d. The proposed subdivision complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. The proposed subdivision meets all standards outlined in the Development Code and the design and development standards and policies of the Planning Commission and the City; and e. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance. State law allows for one (1) year time extensions. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in April 12, 2006 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts; and b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the DRC2017-00249, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. The previous project contemplated the subdivision of the project site for the development of a 206-unit condominium project and the Time Extension for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16605 is consistent with that approval. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. There are no new effects from the subdivision of the property that were not discussed or analyzed or evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 17-28 TIME EXTENSION DRC2017-00249 — PACIFIC SUMMIT-FOOTHILL, LLC April 26, 2017 Page 4 c. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of Time Extension DRC2017-00249. 5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, this Commission hereby grants a time extension for: Tentative Map Applicant Expiration SUBTT16605 Pacific Summit-Foothill April 12, 2018 6.
