Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, introduced the item.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Della Herrick, Associate Planner, read into the record a new condition of approval which would in turn
modify Condition No. 6; one of the conditions that would need to be completed before the final parcel map
approval:
That an unsubordinated restricted covenant providing reciprocal access and parking approved by
Planning Services Division, and in a form satisfactory to the Deputy City Attorney, shall be
recorded with the Office of the Orange County Recorder. A copy of the recorded covenant shall
then be submitted to the Zoning Division. In addition, provisions shall be made in the covenant to
guarantee that the entire complex shall be managed and maintained as one integral parcel for
purposes of parking, vehicular circulation, signage, maintenance, land usage and architectural
control and that the covenant shall be referenced and all deeds transferring all or any part of the
interest in the property.

Ms. Herrick stated that the applicant had been provided a copy of the new condition and was in
agreement with the condition.
Ms. Santalahti clarified that the new condition would be added as Condition No. 8 and Condition No. 6
would be modified to reference Condition No. 8. She referred to staff and asked if the final map would
illustrate the airspace parcel because the one currently demonstrated only stated parcel 1.
James Ling, Principal Civil Engineer, stated the parcel map was only for 1 parcel because individual
condominiums are not handled through the Public Works and Transportation Subdivision section but
through the Department of Real Estate at the State level.
Ms. Santalahti wished to clarify if there would not be an issuance of attachment that stated the
boundaries, etc.
Mr. Ling responded that the Public Works and Transportation Division only reviewed boundaries for the
map because they do not have interior lot lines and therefore are unable to review how condominiums are
subdivided internally.
Ms. Santalahti wished to know if for example fire walls, etc., would not essentially be an issue
Mr. Ling responded that it might be something for the Building Department to review.
Ms. Clow, Turner Development, wished to clarify that a civil engineer goes out and measures paint to
paint, ceiling to slab and prepares a condo plan which is reviewed and approved by the title company and
an attorney to make sure the CC&R's (Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) and the condo plan are in
concert because the condo plan is the legal description of what the owners would be buying. The City
would not review the plan because the usage, square footage, etc., would not change.
Ms. Santalahti wished to clarify if down the line one of the property owners bought two of the spaces and
decided to put a hole in a wall that never before had a hole, if it would be reviewed in a normal Building
permit.
Ms. Clow responded it would be comparable to currently leasing two spaces and deciding to put a hole in
a wall, the property owner would present the plans to the Building Department for review.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Following the August 18, 2005 public hearing, Planning Department staff determined that the requested
waiver of minimum landscaped setback (Variance No. 2005-04661) is unnecessary because the proposal
is fora 6-foot landscaped setback along Manassero Street, which is a "local street," and the Zoning Code
requires only a minimum 5-foot landscaped setback abutting a local street under paragraph .0904 of
subsection 18.120.070.090 (Structural Setback and Yard Requirements) pertaining to Development Area
2 (Expanded Industria{ Area) of the Northeast Area Specific Plan No. 94-1. And, therefore, Variance No.
2005-04661 is withdrawn and no further action is necessary.
Further, a categorical exemption was advertised for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-176, not a Negative
Declaration as addressed in the Staff Report to the Zoning Administrator dated August 18, 2005 and,
therefore, the CEQA determination made for the approved tentative map is a Categorical Exemption
under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions).
