Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff has examined the Parcel Map 10574 and has found that it is in compliance with the City’s Planning requirements, California law and local ordinances.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to approve Parcel Map 10574 for 2101 and 2109 West Avenue 136th, a single-lot subdivision for condominium purposes.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the north side of West Avenue 136th between Menlo Street and Doolittle Drive. The property is owned by Kingkeo Samreuang and Samone Samreuang, and includes two existing single-family homes on one lot. Many of the homes in this neighborhood have a similar configuration. The land is currently zoned as RO (Residential Outer), and the proposed subdivision conforms to this zoning designation.
Analysis
Two homes currently exist on the property, and as such the owners would like to subdivide the land with a condominium map so each home can be individually owned. The lot is approximately 14,800 square feet (0.34 acres) with 80 feet of frontage on West Avenue 136th, and a depth of 185 feet. The maintenance responsibilities of each home and the surrounding common area will be defined in a Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) document. A copy of the CC&Rs is attached to this report.
On August 2, 2018, the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved Planning Application PLN18-0030, a Conditional Use Permit for this property. The Zoning Enforcement Official extended this permit for one-year on August 22, 2019. Parcel Map 10574 conforms to this earlier approval.
City Planner’s Review: The City Planner examined the Parcel Map in relation to the zoning and similar General Plan and Specific Plan policies and goals. The attached City Planner’s report confirms adherence to these requirements.
