BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

The property located on the south east corner of Imperial Highway and Kraemer Boulevard is about 7.02 acres with a General Plan Designation of Commercial Industrial (C-M) Zone. Currently, the property is fully developed with two (2) existing buildings. The addresses for these buildings are 500 S. Kraemer Boulevard and 2601 E. Saturn Street.

The proposed subdivision, Tentative Parcel Map 2015-164 (TPM 2015-164), subdivides this property into two (2) parcels. Parcel 1 is 2.9 acres and includes the building currently addressed as 500 S. Kraemer Boulevard. Parcel 2 is 4.12 acres and includes the building currently addressed as 2601 E. Saturn Street. TPM 2015-164 was conditionally approved per Planning Commission Resolution PC 2016-14 on September 27, 2016. No new building construction is proposed at this time. See Exhibit 'A' - Location Exhibit attached herein.

Since the Planning Commission approval of the project, the property ownership has been transferred from Brea Office Portfolio LLC to PERS JCR Kraemer Office Investors, LLC. Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval within Resolution PC 2016-14, the property owner is required to reconstruct the existing handicap ramps of the driveway on Kraemer Boulevard in accordance with the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and to remove an on-site trash enclosure currently located within a public water easement over the City owned water lines. The property owner has entered into the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and has provided a performance bond and payment bond in the amount of Seventy-Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($72,400) for the construction of aforementioned improvements.

The Final Parcel Map 2015-164 (Final Map) has been approved by the County Surveyor’s Office for technical correctness and the City Engineer has determined the Final Map to be in compliance with the State Subdivision Map Act, in conformance with the Tentative Parcel Map, and with City ordinances. In addition, staff has reviewed the Conditions of Approval for this development and have determined that the associated Final Map and improvement plan submittal conditions have been met.

Furthermore, there are existing City owned and maintained sewer and water lines located on-site within the easement areas. The existing eight inch (8") sewer line is located in a twenty foot (20’) wide easement area along the northerly property line. The eight inch (8") water line is located in a ten foot (10') wide easement area along the easterly property line. See Exhibit 'B' for location of utility easement areas.

Additionally, there are existing improvements within these easement areas over the City owned utility lines. These existing improvements include concrete curb and gutter, small retaining wall, light standards, and trees and landscape plantings. Therefore, in order to allow these privately maintained improvements to remain in place, the City conditioned the property owner to be responsible for the replacement of these existing improvements by executing a Site Maintenance and Restoration Agreement (Agreement) with the City. The Agreement stipulates that the City will be responsible for removing the improvements in order to maintain or repair the City owned utility lines. Upon completion of the repair, the City will backfill the trench to the existing finish surface. The property owner will then be responsible to replace the site improvements at their expense.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

The Applicant has paid all required fees associated with this Final Map, Improvement Plan, Subdivision Improvement Agreement, and Site Maintenance and Restoration Agreement. There will be no General Fund impact from approval of this Map.

The Final Map has been approved by the County Surveyor's Office and City Engineer, the property owner has entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with posted performance bond in the amount of 100% of the improvement costs ($72,400), and the associated Final Map and Improvement Plan conditions for the development have been met. Additionally, the Agreement between the City and property owner for site maintenance and restoration responsibilities has been signed by the property owner. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement and the Site Maintenance and Restoration Agreement were reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Therefore, staff is recommending the City Council consider accepting the Final Map, approving the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with associated bonds and approving the Site Maintenance and Restoration Agreement.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
