Introductl.on The purpose of this report l.S to recommend an ord~nance amendment to elimlnate a confl1.ct between the Subd~vislon Ordinance and the Zonl.ng Ordlnance regarding m1nlmum lot Slze for subdivisions. Th1.s conflict in regulatl.ons dlrectly affects the processl.ng of " two appl1catlons pend1ng before the Plannl.ng Commlssion. Background In connection w1th the reVlew of two parcel map requests recently submitted to the Plannlng and Zoning Divisl.on, an apparent con- fllct In regulat10ns has emerged. The Subd1Vl.S10n Ordlnance con- talns a provls1on (Section 9390) Wh1Ch prohlbits the subdlviSlon of a property containl.ng a lot with less than 50 feet of frontage or 5,000 square feet of net area. In contrast, the Zon1.ng Or- dlnance prescrl.bes a varlety of lot Slzes whlch vary from Dl.S- tr1.ct to Distrl.ct. The C1ty Attorney has adv1.sed staff that the m1n1.mum lot Slze contalned in the Subdivlsion Ordinance is an absolute standard, not subJect to variance procedures for lot size as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance (Sectlon 9145A3). Even though the 5,000 square foot subdl vislon lot size standard lS reasonable for general Cl.ty-wide appllcatlon, there are oc- caSlonal si tuat1.ons where consl.deration of subdl. Vl.Sl.ons not l.n - 1 - mechanism. Therefore Section 9390 in the Subdivision Ordinance prohlbits any consideratl.on of unusual circumstances. Examples Revlew of lot Slzes throughout the Cl.ty reveals that there are several areas J.n which many of the lots are less than 5,000 square feet. The Ocean Spray Tract 1S an example. An applicant may argue reasonably that dl.Vldl.ng a large parcel that is not qUlte 10,000 square feet lnto a 5,000 square foot lot and a 4,672 square foot lot may be consistent with the maJorl.ty of other propertles In the zone and would represent a reasonable way to develop the property. Ms. Haidy McHugh has requested such consideration of her proposal to subdJ.v1de the lot at 601-613 Pac1.fic. Or1g1.na1ly the lot had been subdlvlded lengthw1.se (east/west) l.nto a 40 x 141 and a 30 xl41 lot. Subsequently Tract Map 37912 was approved and recorded for subd1vlsion 1n connectlon wlth a seven unlt CondOMl.nlum proj- ect. Ms. McHugh I s request would revert the subdi V1S1on to two parcels wJ.th the lot line runnlng north/south. The Sllghtly sub- standard lot would be for development of a sl.ngle family home for - 2 - lone applicant has subml tted a parcel map request to d. procee \.11. th the proJect. However, Section 9390 prohlblts approval of the map because the lot 1 h 5 is ess t an ,000 square feet, even though the m1nlmum requlred lot slze ln the R2R zone 1.S only 3,000 square feet. The recOITlJnendation to delete Section 9390 sl.mply clears the way for the Planning Commisslon, and by appeal, th C e 1.ty Councll, to consider unusual sltuations under the variance procedure. Dele- tl.on of this confllcting sectlon does not 1.mply a recommendatl.on It e for approval of elther case noted above. Each case must proceed througr. the permit process on l.ts own merlts. Planning staff, after consultat~on wl.th the City Attorney, recom- mends that Sectl.on 9390 of the Santa Monica MUnl.Clpa1 Code be deleted 1.n its entlrety, on the bas1.s that m1.nlmUm lot size stan- dards are more approprl.ately located ln the Zoning Ordlnance where they currently are specifled, and on the baS1S that the absolute standard contained ~n Section 9390 prohl.blts consider- atlon of occaSlonal s1.tuations where tentative subdivislcns for lots less than 5,000 square feet In area may be appropriate. Flnancla1 Impact The recommendatlon presented ln this report does not have a budget/financial lmpact. Recornmendatlon Staff recomrnends that the Clty Councll dlreet the City Attorney to prepare an ordl.nance deleting BeetlQn 9390 of the Munlclpal Code and set the matter for public hearlng at the next posslble counc1.l meetlng l.n order to eliminate the confllct between the Zonlng Ordlnance and the Subdlvision Ordl.nance noted above.
