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 4-0-3, to recommend approval of TPM 2022-127 to the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The subject site is located at the terminus of Mykkanen Circle and extends southerly to Cisneros Lane. There is currently access to the parcel from both Cisneros Lane and Mykkanen Circle. The Parcel Map will subdivide the existing 17,424 square foot lot into two (2) lots.

Lot 1 is located on the westerly side of the
parcel and contains an oil well that will be
abandoned per CALGEM and Fire
Department requirements. The lot size is
well above the average lot size of 7,000 in
SP -7 and meets the minimum width
requirement, with approximately 79 feet.
Currently the lot has access to both
Mykkanen Circle on the north and Cisneros
Lane on the south. The Placentia Municipal
Code (PMC) states in 22.16.050 (d) Double
frontage lots shall be prohibited except as
provided in Chapter 22.68. The referred
Chapter 22.68 lists variances. The applicant
is not requesting a variance but will remove
the existing gate access on Cisneros Lane
and continue the existing six (6) foot block
wall, so the lot does not have double
frontage. The lot will front on Mykkanen
Circle.
Lot 2 is located on the easterly side of the parcel and meets minimum lot and width size requirements. With SP -7 requiring minimum 6,000 square foot lots, with 7,000 square feet being the average, Lot 2 will be 8,517 square feet and 83.22 feet in width.

Subject Site and Surrounding Land Uses:
The subject site is located within an existing single-family residential district on the SEC of 1421 Cisneros Lane (APN 341-433-48). 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 1", which will be abandoned by the applicant utilizing CALGEM standards and requirements, as well as Fire Department regulations.

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 2022-127 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 two (2) additional lots that will be eligible for development. Based on the zoning designation, one single family residence can be developed on the resulting new Tots of parcels 1 and 2. The subsequent construction of two (2) new homes will result in approximately $15,764 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.
