One Legal Lot The applicants have proposed to subdivide a 0.47 acre parcel into 4 lots, which would be permitted with a Minor Subdivision application. However, the subject parcel is not an individual legal lot. The parcel in question is attached legally to assessor's parcel number 091-220-09, which is zoned R-L (Low Density Residential) and is also owned by the applicant. Because of this, the proposed project would create 5 parcels instead of 4 and would need to be processed as a Major Subdivision application or as a Minor Subdivision with 4 lots and a designated remainder. Access The applicant has proposed access to the parcels using an easement located on APN 091-220-09 to access the proposed parcels located on APN 091-250-09. General Plan Vol. 1, pg. IV-140(6) states that parcels to be developed in communities shown on the General Plan Map shall have frontage on roads built to county standards. The proposed project is located in the community of Linden and as a result, the tentative map will need to be revised so that Parcels 1 through 4 are developed with each having frontage on Knox Drive using a flag lot configuration. If a full application is submitted, a recorded access agreement between Parcels 1 though 4 will be required as a condition of approval in order to provide a 20 foot wide driveway in compliance with Uniform Fire Code Standards. The project would need to be reconfigured so that the access to Parcels 1 through 4 does not bisect the designated remainder parcel. Services The proposed Major Subdivision is located partially in the Low Density Residential zone and partially in the Medium Density Residential zone. Public sewer and water services are currently available to the proposed project through the Linden Water District. Public storm drainage is currently not available to the project site. Within an urban community, subdivision drainage facilities shall discharge into a terminal drain, except that an agency retention basin may be an acceptable alternative where permitted by a Master Plan or Special Purpose Plan. (Development Title Section 9-1135.3[a]) The Department of Public Works has indicated that terminal drainage does not exist at the site. If the applicant chooses to file a full application, terminal drainage must be provided to the site. Will serve letters for sewer service, water service, and storm drainage would be required at the time the project was submitted as a full application. [Development Title Sections 9-1105.3(b) & 9-1135.3(b)] Density Bonus The applicants would need to apply for a density bonus if they choose to keep the project in its current configuration. The proposed density is at a density of 12.75 dwelling units per acre, which is above the allowable density for the Medium Density Residential zone. Because of this, the applicant would be required to remove one residence from the portion of the property zoned R-M to meet the 12.5 units per acre maximum density. The proposed parcels 1 and 2 located in the R-M zone are below allowable size under standard conditions. It has been determined that if a duplex is located on the parcel that the minimum lot size must be 6,970 square feet for a density bonus. The portion of the project zoned R-L is at a density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre which is within the allowable density for the Low Density Residential zone. 2
