ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Pacific Industrial, LLC (the “Subdivider”) requests that the City Council approve Parcel Map 19968 to consolidate twelve (12) parcels of land (APNs: 0240-201-10, -12 thru -15, -18, -38, -42, and -44 thru -47) into one (1) parcel of land within the EMP of the Renaissance Specific Plan (collectively “Site”) to facilitate the development of a 255,173 square foot warehouse distribution building (“Project”). A copy of Parcel Map 19968 is included as Attachment 2.
The Subdivider has not constructed the required public improvements associated with Parcel Map 19968 and as such, an executed Subdivision Improvement Agreement to guarantee completion of public improvements has been submitted. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement is included as Attachment 3.
The City Engineer determined that the conditions of approval associated with Tentative Parcel Map 19968 have been satisfied, that Parcel Map 19968 is in substantial conformance with Tentative Parcel Map 19968, and that Parcel Map 19968 is ready for City Council approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Assessment Review No. 2018-0029) was prepared for consideration in conjunction with the project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on the findings and recommended mitigation measures within the prepared Initial Study, staff determined that the project would not have adverse impact on the environment, provided that mitigation measures are implemented and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) was prepared. On January 30, 2019, the Planning Commission approved a Resolution adopting the prepared MND for the project. A copy of the filed Notice of Determination for the MND is included as Attachment 4.
