BACKGROUND 
The subject property is located on Berry Street, Berry Place and Berry Way, see Figure 1 – Site View. The property includes existing industrial buildings and multiple accessory structures built between 1960 and 1980. Currently, the parcels are under 1 ownership.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Parcel Map will result in 6 new parcels, see Attachment 3. The application is for subdivision purposes only and no new building construction is proposed. The map application would separate the parcels and create the potential for individual lots to be sold in the future. The parcels are accessible by 2 separate private roads at Berry Place and Berry Way. The access will be improved to create a connected private road for all 6 parcels.
The map application includes a condition to construct a 5-foot wide sidewalk and ramps on Berry Street along the Parcel 1 frontage in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. No other site improvements are proposed or required at this time. Should future site improvements, building expansion or remodel projects be proposed for the individual parcels, the future property owner will be required to provide all necessary future infrastructure improvements applicable at the time to support the request and comply with City Code.
The one site improvement required at the first development relates to drainage. Given the proposed subdivision, the create of separate lots require improvement address cross-lot drainage and runoff from the independent Parcels into Parcel 6. Condition c and d relate to maintenance and shared utilities as well as access and drainage.
As proposed, the Map application is consistent with the required findings of the City  of Brea Subdivision Ordinance and the California Subdivision Map Act. The design and reconfiguration is compliant with Brea’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements for parcels in the M – 2 General Industrial zone, see Figure 2.
