PLN-21-00175PC Agenda Page 1 Tentative Parcel Map – PLN-21-00175 October 19, 2022 – Page 2 the R-1 5,000 (Single Family Residential) zone are located approximately 150’ to the south of the subject site. View from Adenmoor Avenue On August 25, 2022, the applicant submitted an application for a proposed Tentative Parcel Map in order to subdivide the existing parcel into two parcels for townhome development purposes. On September 16, 2022, staff deemed the application complete for further processing. On October 6, 2022, notice of pending public hearing was published in the Downey Patriot and mailed to all property owners within 500’ of the subject area. DISCUSSION The property is zoned R-3, however, it will be developed to the R-2 development standards, as the property has a General Plan land use designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), which is equivalent to the R-2 zoning designation. The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the 8,450 square foot parcel into two new parcels so that he can develop them with townhome units. As required by DMC §9948, the applicant is requesting the Planning Commission’s approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 74786. The subject site complies with the minimum lot size dimensions for lots in the R-2 zone, which allows up to one unit for every 2,500 square feet. The proposed density for the subject site is one unit for every 2,817 square feet of lot area, which is in compliance with the General Plan’s Low Medium Density residential requirements. Please be aware that only the Tentative Parcel Map is under the purview of the Planning Commission, and the future development of the site with two proposed units, attached garages, and ADUs are permitted by right. The applicant provided architectural renderings of the proposed development. The new development will consist of two attached, two-story townhomes, which are basically mirror images of themselves, and both measuring the same square footage. The development includes a contemporary architectural style, that includes a combination of wood siding, stone veneer, stucco, and an asphalt shingle roof. The townhomes will include decorative window surrounds and shutters on all first and second story windows. In addition, the applicant is PC Agenda Page 2 Tentative Parcel Map – PLN-21-00175 October 19, 2022 – Page 3 proposing all façades to have “staggered” building lines in order to break-up the buildings’ two- story mass. The Tentative Parcel Map was reviewed for compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and applicable Downey Municipal Code Regulations. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE The project was reviewed by the Development Review Committee and general comments were provided to Planning staff. The departments’ comments were included as part of the conditions of approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon completion of this review, it has been determined that this request is categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section No. 15315 (Class 15, Minor Land Divisions). Categorical Exemptions are projects, which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and have been exempted from the requirements of CEQA. Specifically, Class 15 exemptions consist of the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential uses into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available. The proposed TPM for townhome use is consistent with the site’s General Plan designation being that the designation is Low Medium Density Residential, which allows for this specific type of use. Lastly, the site is currently improved with all required utilities and public services as existing residential development exists. FINDINGS Pursuant to the requirements of Subdivision Map Act Article 1 Section 66474, staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the following findings to recommend the overall request: 1. The proposed map is consistent with the General and Specific Plans. The TPM proposes to subdivide the existing parcel for townhome purposes, in order to construct two townhomes on an 8,450 square foot lot. The proposed TPM and future development is consistent with the General Plan, specifically supporting goals, policies, and programs of both the Land Use and Housing Elements. The proposed project is consistent with Goal 1.4 of the Land Use Element, and supported policies, which promotes not only harmonious residential development with surrounding neighborhoods (Policy 1.4.2), but also home ownership opportunities (Policy 1.4.3). In addition, the future housing development will help achieve Goal 2 and Policy 2.2 of the Housing Element, which encourages in-fill development and the recycling of land to provide adequate residential sites. As previously stated in the report, the project site also has a General Plan Land Use designation of Low Medium Density Residential, which supports the proposed townhome development. 2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. PC Agenda Page 3 Tentative Parcel Map – PLN-21-00175 October 19, 2022 – Page 4 The proposed subdivision complies with the Subdivision Map Act and applicable Downey Municipal Code Regulations. The site is located in the R-3 Zone, but will be developed in compliance with the R-2 zone development standards, as the site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Medium Residential. The architectural design and overall scale of the buildings will be similar to those found in the neighborhood. The proposed development will be consistent with Policy 1.4.2 whereas the development will be no greater than two stories and will complement the neighborhood through a contemporary architectural design. In addition, based on the proposed building setbacks, the design of the project will also be consistent with Policy 1.4.2 by considering impacts to privacy, views, and sunlight on adjacent properties. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. The overall subject site measures 8,450 square feet in size, and approval of the TPM will create two lettered parcels for the development of two townhome units. As proposed, the future development of the site will comply with the maximum allowed. Based on the Tentative Parcel Map and architectural renderings provided, the proposed development will be able to meet all development standards for the R-2 zone, in compliance with the General Plan land use designation of Low Medium Density Residential. These standards include, lot coverage, setbacks, building height, dwelling unit size, parking, and landscaping. Therefore, the overall site is physically suitable for the type of development and future construction. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The Tentative Parcel Map will subdivide the existing 8,450 square f oot parcel into two lettered parcels for townhome parcel map purposes. The subdivision of the existing site complies with General Plan land use designation of Low Medium Density Residential, which allows 9 to 17 units per acre, or one unit for every 2,500 square feet of lot area. The proposed density for the subject site is one unit for every 2,817 square feet of lot area, and thus the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. 5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map facilities a two-unit townhome development which will be constructed in a residential zone, situated adjacent to existing multi-family developments to the south, west and east. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map and two- unit residential townhome development is consistent with the intended use of the residentially designated property and is not anticipated to cause serious health problems in the area. 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. During the review of the preliminary title report for the subject site, there is a four (4) foot wide water main line easement running along the rear property line. The proposed building footprints will not be located on the existing easement. In addition, as part of the PC Agenda Page 4 Tentative Parcel Map – PLN-21-00175 October 19, 2022 – Page 5 future plan check review process for the proposed development, the City’s Building and Safety and Public Works Department will conduct further review of all plans to ensure appropriate compliance with all codes. 7. The design of the subdivision of the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. The subject site is in an urban setting surrounded by urban uses. There is also no known wildlife habitat in this area of the City. The proposed subdivision will be developed on a lot that is currently improved/disturbed with existing residential development. Therefore, the project would not cause substantial environmental damage to the site or its surrounding areas. CORRESPONDENCE As of the date that this report was printed, staff has not received any correspondence regarding this matter. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 74786 (PLN-21-00175), subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
