CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution approving the tentative map subject to the recommended findings and conditions. BACKGROUND The subdivider owns a 2-story, 16,400 square foot office building and would like to subdivide the building's air space into five office condominiums. This request is merely to change the project's ownership status for financial reasons, and involves no new construction or significant building changes. Since its completion in 1988, the building has been used primarily for medical offices. Air-space condominiums are ownership units created through a subdivision map process. The five condominium owners would hold a joint, non-severable and undivided interest in "Lot All which includes common parking and landscaped areas. Five or more condominiums require city approval of a tentative tract map. Following tentative map approval, the subdivider must submit a final tract map to formalize the creation of the new "lots. " If the final map is consistent with the tentative map, the Community Development Director approves the final tract map ministerially without further commission or council review. I Data Summary , Address: 862 Meinecke Avenue Subdivider/owner: Arnold Volny Representative: Engineering Development Associates Zoning: O-PD General Plan: Office Environmental Determination: Categorically exempt (CEQA Section 15301(0) ) Site Description Irregularly-shaped, level lot covering 1. 15 acres and developed with one office building, 92 parking spaces, and landscaping. The site is bordered by Foothill Shopping Center to the north, houses to the west, offices and other commercial uses to the east, and Meinecke Avenue to the south. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS No significant environmental impacts are likely. The conversion -/ Il�h�l��►►►mlllllilllli►' �@III city of san Luis osiwo MINZO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Staff Report Page 2 of offices to office condominiums will have no effect on the site or on characteristics of the use, and is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act and the city's Environmental Guidelines. i CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TARING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION I If the tentative map is not approved, the office building will remain as a single ownership unit on one lot. There would be no change from the office building's current ownership status. ADVISORY BODY COMMENTS At its March 13th meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the council approve the tentative map. The commission's recommended findings and conditions are included in the attached draft council resolution. There was no public comment. EVALUATION The building is leased to several medical and professional office uses. The subdivider's intent is to allow current tenants to purchase the space they now occupy. Office condominiums would range in size from 589 square feet to 9023 square feet, with one commonly-owned lot of 1. 15 acres. On-and off-site improvements necessary to serve the proposed condominiums are existing (eg. each unit already has individual water service) , and no building changes or additions are planned. General Plan/Zoning The project is consistent with the general plan and zoning regulations. The Land Use Element Map designates this site for offices, and city policies encourage medical and health professional offices near hospitals -- in this case, Sierra Vista Hospital on Murray Street two blocks away. The project's design was approved by the Planning Commission in 1986 as PD 1238. The building's setbacks, coverage, and parking are consistent with the approved PD development plans. For medical offices, parking is required at the rate of one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area. Accordingly, 92 parking spaces are required and provided on-site. �����►�iiil►illllllill11° ��UIN city of san Luis osispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Staff Report Page 3 Condominium Standards The Subdivision Regulations allow lots within condominium subdivisions to be of any size and shape. The design and layout of the condominium units "should be based on intended use, topography, and access requirements. " Unlike residential condominiums, office condominiums are not subject to special requirements such as those addressing open space, solar water heating, or outdoor storage. To approve office condominiums, the council need only find that the subdivision is consistent with the general plan, subdivision and zoning regulations. I Land Use Compatibility The subdivision would not significantly affect uses, traffic generation, noise, or any other factor which might trigger compatibility problems. ALTERNATIVE 1) Deny the tentative map subject to appropriate findings. Due to State-mandated processing deadlines, the council must take final action to approve or deny the tentative map within 30 days after Planning Commission action, or the tentative map is deemed approved. CAO RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution approving Tentative Map 2059 subject to the findings and conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.
