ZONING DISTRICT /GENERAL PLAN
• Zone: R -2 (Two -Unit Residential)
• General Plan: RT (Two -Unit Residential)
PROJECT SUMMARY
A parcel map application for two -unit condominium purposes. No waivers of Title 19
(Subdivisions) development standards are proposed with this application. The parcel
map would allow each unit of the duplex, currently under construction, to be sold
individually. The property was previously improved with a duplex.
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing; and
2) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Tentantive Parcel
Map No. NP2012 -007 (Attachment No. ZA 1).
• An existing duplex was demolished on July 24, 2012 and a new duplex is being
constructed.

The property is designated for two -unit residential use by the General Plan and
Zoning Code. The new duplex is consistent with this designation and a parcel
map for condominiums does not change the use.
• The parcel map approval will allow the units to be sold separately.
The new duplex conforms to all current Municipal Code requirements and the
condominiums will meet all of the Title 19 standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project qualifies for Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) categorical exemption, Section
15315 of the California Environmental Quality Act. This exemption allows the division of
property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial 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 2 years, and the parcel does not have an average
slope greater than 20 percent. The proposed parcel map is for condominium purposes
and is consistent with all of the requirements of the Class 15 exemption.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice of this application was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of
property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of-
way and waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least
10 days prior to the decision date, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at
City Hall and on the City website.

or City Clerk, as applicable, within ten (10) days following the date the action or decision
