ENVIRONMENTAL:
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. Staff recommends and the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council exercise its independent judgment and find that TPM 2023-113 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, 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 2 years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and meets the minimum development standards of the PMC. The Planning Commission voted 6-0-1-0 to recommend approval of TPM 2023-113, with conditions of approval. The proposed subdivision located within the existing R-1 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 lots of parcels 1 and 2. The subsequent construction of two (2) new homes will result in approximately $46,798 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.
