On February 24, 2003, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve Tentative Parcel Map 2002-237 with conditions to ensure compliance with the Tustin City Code and the Subdivision Map Act. (Owner: Steelcase, Inc.; Applicant: Voit Development Company) -RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 03-29 approving Tentative Parcel Map 2002- 237. FISCAL IMPACT: The Tentative Parcel Map is an applicant-initiated project. The applicants have paid applicable fees for the processing of this map. ENVIRONMENTAL: Tentative Parcel Map 2002-237 is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15315, Class 15 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act). BACKGROUND: The project site is comprised of a single, 38.04-acre parcel with approximately one million square feet of building area for warehousing, manufacturing, and office uses. The parcel was annexed to the City of Tustin in 1964 as part of a 290-acre annexation from the County of Orange, and is the largest remaining single parcel of the annexation. The site is located within the Planned Community-Industrial (PC-IND) zoning district; the Planned City Council Resolution No. 03-29 March 3, 2003 Page 2 Community District Regulations were enacted through adoption of Ordinance No. 400 (Zone Change 68-172) on June 3, 1968. The site is located adjacent to the SR-55 Freeway along the west property line, Bell Avenue to the north, an A.T. & S.F. railroad easement to the east, and Warner Avenue to the south. The property is surrounded by other industrial uses including warehousing, manufacturing, and research and development. On February 19, 2003, Community Development Director approved Design Review 02- 036 authorizing the demolition of 508,674 square feet of existing warehouse area and the remodel of the remaining 469,903 square feet of warehouse to be used as a warehouse with accessory offices and a showroom for a tile manufacturer and distributor at 1123 Warner Avenue (Attachment A- Location Map). The applicant, Voit Development, originally submitted the Design Review and Tentative Parcel Map as a single application for concurrent consideration. However, based on timing issues regarding the sale of the property, the applicant and property_~owner requested that the Design Review be considered separately from the Tentative Parcel Map to expedite the design review process. In accordance with the Planned Community zoning regulations and Tustin City Code Section 9272(c), the Community Development Director approved Design Review 02-036 (Attachment B- Design Review Site Plan and Elevations). Tentative Parcel Map 2002-237 requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Commission, on February 24, 2003, adopted Resolution No. 3860 recommending approval of the project to the City Council. DISCUSSION: The existing project site consists of a single parcel. The following table illustrates the existing and proposed parcel sizes: Square Footage Acres Existing Parcel 1 1,657,022.4 (gross) 38.04 (gross) Proposed Parcel 1 984,891.6 (gross) 22.61 (gross) Parcel 2 672,130.8 (gross) 15.43 (gross) City Council Resolution No. 03-29 March 3, 2003 Page 3 Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 would be divided by a new property line parallel to the SR-55 Freeway at a point along Bell Avenue that is 746.5 feet from the SR-55 Freeway right-of- way to the west and 528.3 feet from the A.T. & S.F. railroad easement to the east (Attachment C - Tentative Parcel Map 2002-237). The new property line would extend south towards Warner Avenue for 1171.6 feet, then extend 163 feet towards the east at a point 148 feet from the centerline of Warner Avenue, and then south again for the remaining 148 feet to the centerline at Warner Avenue. As proposed, Parcel 1 will host an existing building that is planned to be remodeled and related site improvements and Parcel 2 will be left in a vacant land condition, in accordance with Design Review 02-036. Both parcels would meet the minimum required lot size of 30,000 square feet, and will comply with the Planned Community District Regulations and City and State subdivision requirements. The existing entrance driveway at the intersection of Warner Avenue and Pullman Street will provide access to both parcels; the location of the intersection of Warner Avenue and Pullman Street precludes each parcel from having independent site access and a shared entrance driveway is necessary to provide ingress and egress to both parcels. As such, Condition 1.6 of Resolution No. 3860 (Attachment D) would require the applicant to record a reciprocal access agreement to ensure the two parcels maintain shared use of the entrance driveway at Warner Avenue. To ensure adequate maintenance of the entrance driveway, pedestrian facilities, landscaping, and other site improvements, Condition 3.1 would require the applicant to establish a maintenance easement. Warner Avenue is identified as a major arterial street, and Bell Avenue is identified as a local street. Since the north and south property lines currently extend to the centerline of Bell Avenue and Warner Avenue, and the streets already exist and are maintained by the City of Tustin, Condition 2.7 would require the dedication of all remaining roadway easements to the City. Fee dedications of necessary street right-of-way are consistent with the Circulation Element Implementation Program as authorized by the City Council and the Tustin Subdivision Code, as permitted by the Subdivision Map Act, mandates consistency with the Circulation Element.
