CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS: That the Zoning Administrator has
reviewed the proposal to establish a 2-lot industrial subdivision in the ML (Limited Industrial) Zone on
rectangularly-shaped 0.84-acre property having a frontage of 244 feet on the north side of Broadway with
a maximum depth of 149 feet, being located 165 east of the centerline of Loara Street, and further
described as 1575 and 1585 West Broadway; and that the Planning Director or his authorized
representative has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt, Class 15, under the
State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
Based on the evidence and testimony presented to me, I do hereby determine to approve Tentative
Parcel Map No. 2001-199, subject to the following conditions:
That, as required by the Public Works Department and the Building Division, an improvement
certificate shall be evidenced on the final parcel map requiring (a) that the east property line of
subject property will be removed prior to issuance of permits pertaining to structural improvements
and/or renovations to the existing building on Parcel 2 (excluding tenant improvements to said
building); or (b) that a satisfactory building separation/wall will be provided between the two portions
of the existing legal nonconforming one-story building which straddles the east property line (1575
West Broadway is on Parcel 2 of subject parcel map and 1565 West Broadway is on the adjacent
property to the east) in compliance with all applicable city codes and regulations; or (c) that some
other means of complying with the applicable city codes and regulations regarding buildings which
straddle property lines is approved by the Public Works Department and the Building Division.
That an unsubordinated restricted covenant providing reciprocal access for the purpose of vehicle
circulation including trash collection, approved by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager and
the Zoning Division and in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney, shall be recorded with the Office
of the Orange County Recorder. (The proposed parcels will be served by a single driveway on
Broadway and will share a trash collection area, as shown on the tentative parcel map.) 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 both parcels shall share responsibility for maintenance of
the driveway between Broadway and the trash enclosure, and for the maintenance of the trash
collection area including a trash truck turn-around area; and that the covenant shall be referenced in
all deeds transferring all or any part of the interest in the property.
3. That the shared trash storage area shown on the tentative parcel map, including a trash truck turn-
around area, shall be provided and maintained in a manner acceptable to the Public Works
Department, Streets and Sanitation Division, and in accordance with approved plans on file with said
Department. Said storage area, including the trash truck turn-around area, shall be specifically
shown on the final parcel map.
4. That a maintenance covenant shall be submitted to the Subdivision Section of the Public Works
Department for review and shall be approved by the City Attorney's office. The document shall
include provisions for maintenance of existing common private facilities, common drainage facilities,
and compliance with the approved Water Quality Management Plan ("WQMP").
5. The developer shall submit a Water Quality Management Plan ("WQMP") specifically identifying the
best management practices that will be used on-site to control predictable pollutants from storm
water runoff. The WQMP shall be submitted to Public Works Department, Development Services
Division, for review and approval. The approved WQMP shall be incorporated into the maintenance
covenant.
6. That the owner of subject property shall submit a letter to the Zoning Division requesting termination
of Conditional Use Permit No. 1962 (permitting the retail sale of sheet music in the ML "Limited
Industrial" Zone).
