It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
Adopt the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-11 – A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POMONA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT LLA1-2021, FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1330-1344 S. RESERVOIR STREET, ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS 8327-019-004 AND -005; and Authorize the City Engineer to sign the Lot Line Adjustment LLA1-2021 on behalf of the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Eric Andreasen, with Andreasen Engineering, Inc., has submitted the proposed lot line adjustment application on behalf of 1344 Reservoir, LLC, owner of the adjoining real properties located at 1330-1344 Reservoir Street, Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 8327-019-004 and -005. Approval of Resolution No. 2022-11 (Attachment No. 1) will facilitate the adjustment of the lot line between the aforementioned parcels to accurately delineate the boundaries of the existing residential and commercial land uses, which are separately managed by the current two partners of the LLC. City Council approval is required if the lot line adjustment was not previously considered by the Planning Commission as part of a development project.
PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION: No project related to the Lot Line Adjustment LLA1-2021 has been considered by the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: In compliance with Article 19 Categorical Exemptions, Section 15305 of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is exempt from further CEQA review and documentation. Section 15305 pertains to Class 5 projects, consisting of “minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density, including but not limited to minor lot line adjustments.” DISCUSSION: Eric Andreasen, with Andreasen Engineering Inc., applicant, has submitted a request to the Public Works Department for lot line adjustment LLA1-2021 between two adjoining parcels, consisting of portions of Block 206 of Pomona Tract, recorded in Book 3, Pages 96 and 97 of Miscellaneous Records, in the Office of the Los Angeles Recorder’s Office. The proposed Parcels A and B are legally described in EXHIBIT “A” and depicted in EXHIBIT “B” to EXHIBIT “1” of Attachment No. 1. The current APNs are 8327-019-004 and -005, corresponding to 1330 and 1344 S. Reservoir Street, respectively. 1344 Reservoir, LLC is the owner of both parcels since 2018. The northerly lot is partially developed as a residential property consisting of a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,870-square foot single-family home, built in the late 1950s. The southerly lot and the easterly portion of the northerly lot are occupied by 3D Chemical and Equipment, a distributor of cleaning products and machinery. The two partners of the LLC are separately managing the existing properties. In anticipation of the potential separation between the partners, the applicant is requesting the approval of the proposed lot line adjustment to facilitate the accurate delineation of the new parcels, in accordance with their respective land uses.
The boundary modifications of the aforementioned property include the following:
The total area of the 1330 S. Reservoir Street lot (APN 8327-019-004) will be decreased by 8,209.50 square feet, from 17,400 square feet to 9,190.50 square feet, and will constitute the proposed Parcel A.
The total area of the 1344 S. Reservoir Street lot (APN 8327-019-005) will be increased by 8,209.50 square feet, from 16,440 square feet to 24,649.50 square feet, and will form the proposed Parcel B.
Following the approval and recordation of the proposed lot line adjustment, Parcels A and B (Attachments No. 2 and No. 3) will conform to the City of Pomona General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
