Item 3.2 - TPM 19-001; a request for approval of a two-lot subdivision at 13424 Olive Tree LaneCity of Poway COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT DATE: December 17, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Counci FROM: Robert Manis, Director of Development Services CONTACT: Scott Nespor, Associate Planner I) 858-668-4656 or snespor(a poway.orq SUBJECT: Summary: Tentative Parcel Map 19-001; a request for approval of a two -lot subdivision located at 13424 Olive Tree Lane in the Residential Single Family - 7 (RS -7) zone Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 19-001 is a request to subdivide a 0.4 -acre parcel at 13424 Olive Tree Lane into two lots. An existing residence will remain on one of the lots. The site is located on the west side of Olive Tree Lane approximately 1,200 feet north of Poway Road in the Residential Single Family -7 (RS -7) zone. The project complies with all City standards. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council take public input, close the public hearing and adopt the Resolution. Discussion: The project applicant and property owner is Alva Diaz. The flat 0.4 -acre project site is developed with a single residence and a detached garage and is immediately surrounded by single-family residential properties. Located further south of the property on Olive Tree Lane is the Mossy Nissan Automobile Dealership, the Olive Tree Apartment Complex, and the backyard of the Mt. Olive Lutheran Church. A zoning location map is included as Attachment B. The minimum lot size in the RS -7 zone is 4,500 square feet. The applicant proposes to split the property into two parcels with the existing residence to be located on a 10,328 square -foot net area parcel, allowing 4be oukiu u parcel 4. o L C- (5,599 qudie feet let died. The p1 ui.Ju ed subdivision map is included as Attachment C. Both properties will meet the minimum lot depth and lot width standards for the RS -7 zone. Olive Tree Lane is a private road with existing City water and sewer utilities. As such, the residents of Olive Tree Lane are responsible for maintaining the road. The applicant will be required to enter into the existing Private Road Maintenance Agreement on Olive Tree Lane. Olive Tree Lane currently meets the required road width for a private road. Improvements to Olive Tree Lane required in conjunction with the proposed subdivision include new curb and gutter and new street trees fronting the property. Olive Tree Lane is served by overhead electrical and telecommunications utilities. Although, there are two utility poles on-site, requiring them to be undergrounded will not result in an overall 1 of 9 December 17, 2019, Item #3.2 reduction in the number of poles in the neighborhood as additional poles would have to be added to continue the overhead service beyond this property. This would be financially burdensome for a project this size without much benefit. The applicant will need to enter into an Underground Utility Waiver Agreement. The sewer lateral for the existing residence on the site crosses the proposed new property line that will divide the property. The applicant will need to construct a new sewer lateral to serve the existing residence. The existing lateral will be used for the new vacant parcel at the time of its development. A Minor Development Review Application will be required prior to construction of a new home on the proposed new lot. The proposed subdivision would be consistent with General Plan policies and standards in the Poway Municipal Code. Neighborhood Meeting Three people attended a neighborhood meeting that was held on October 29, 2019. The applicant presented her project and the comments were generally favorable. One person expressed a concern opposing increasing the density of housing in the area. Environmental Review: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as Class 15 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15315 of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the project involves the division of land into two parcels within an urbanized area in compliance with all City codes and standards and the average slope of the property is less than 20 percent. Fiscal Impact: None. Public Notification: A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Poway News Chieftain on Thursday, December 5, 2019 and mailed to property owners and occupants located within 500 feet of the project site. Additionally, a Notice of Pending Development Application concerning the project was posted on the subject property by the Applicant. Attachments: A. Resolution approving TPM B.
