BACKGROUND:
PMC Section 22.80.010(a) requires a Parcel Map for all subdivisions of four (4) or fewer parcels and PMC Section 22.80.060(c) requires that the Planning Commission take action to recommend to the City Council conditional approval or denial of the subdivision map. At the Planning Commission meeting held October 11, 2022, the Planning Commission voted 5-0-2, to recommend approval of TPM 2022-125 to the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The parcel in which the subdivision is proposed is located at the terminus of Nevin Lane and extends eastwardly towards the terminus of Evans Lane. Currently, there is access via a gate on both Nevin Lane and Evans Lane. The Parcel Map will subdivide an existing 20,998 square foot lot into three (3) Tots. See the table below for lot sizes.

Lot 1 is the largest and northernmost lot measuring 8,691 square feet and the width is approximately 67.82 feet. Currently the lot has dual access on Nevin Lane to the west and Evans Lane to the east. Placentia Municipal Code (PMC) section states that 22.16.050 (d) "double frontage Tots shall be prohibited" unless a variance is approved. The referred Chapter 22.68 lists variances. The applicant is not requesting a variance but will remove an existing gate access

along Nevin Lane and continue the existing six-foot block wall, so the lot does not have double frontage.
Lot 2 is proposed to measure 6,292 square feet and the lot width is 62.7 feet, which meets the minimum standards, as defined by Specific Plan 7 development standards. Lot 2, in the center, is the location of an oil well, which is in process of being abandoned per CALGEM requirements. All future development of the lots will go through fire plan check and any mitigation measures needed for development over the oil well will be met.
Lot 3 is the southernmost lot measuring 6,015 square feet and the lot width is approximately 75.98 feet. Entrance to the lot will be located on Evans Lane, as will the other two lots (1 & 2).
The proposed subdivision will allow for future sales and conveyance of the lots for the purpose of single-family homes, which is what current zoning within Specific Plan 7 (Low -Density Residential) permits in this location.
Subiect Site and Surrounding Land Uses:
The subject site is located within an existing single-family residential district on the SEC of 406 N.
Nevin Lane (APN: 341-433-23). The table below shows surrounding existing land uses, zoning, and General Plan and Specific Plan Land Use designations. The site contains an oil well on what is proposed as "Lot 2", which will be abandoned by the applicant utilizing CALGEM standards and requirements, as well as regulations from the Fire & Life Safety Department.

The proposed application was reviewed by Staff in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq., the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq., and the Environmental Guidelines of the City of Placentia. As part of their actions taken on October 11, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council find that TPM 2022-125 is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15315 (Class 15 - Minor Land Divisions), as it applies to the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential use 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 parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than twenty percent (20%). The proposed subdivision meets all

criteria for this exemption; therefore Staff and the Planning Commission recommend adoption of a categorical exemption pursuant to §15315 (Class 15 - Minor Land Divisions).
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and meets the minimum development standards of the PMC. Including the recommended conditions of approval, the proposed subdivision located within the existing SP -7 District will be compatible with adjacent land uses and will not result in any adverse impacts to the surrounding area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to PMC Chapter 5.02 all new development is subject to Citywide Development Impact Fees. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map will result in three (3) additional lots that will be eligible for development. Based on the zoning designation, one single family residence can be developed on the resulting new lots of parcels 1, 2, and 3. The subsequent construction of three (3) new homes will result in approximately $23,646 of total Development Impact Fee revenue. It should be noted that future construction will also require payment of user fees such as building plan check and building permit fees.
