CASE 5.0678-PD AND TTM 29987(TENTATIVE TRACT MAP) APPLICATION BY SPARTAN VILLA
HERMOSA, LLC FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT(PD)AND PRELIMINARY AND
FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR A 21-UNIT MULTIPLE FAMILY(PROPOSED
CONDOMINIUM) PROJECT AND FOR A TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FOR CONDOMINIUM
PURPOSES AT 155 HERMOSA PLACE, R-2 ZONE WITH RESORT OVERLAY, SECTION 10.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council conduct a public hearing and approve the proposed Planned Development
District and Tentative Tract Map for a 21-unit multiple family (proposed condominium) project
located at 155 Hermosa Place, subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution.
SUMMARY
The applicant is seeking to renovate a 21 unit apartment complex (Villa Hermosa) and convert
into condominiums. Associated with this application is a request to vacate a portion of Prescott
Drive. The street vacation request is being considered concurrently but separately from this
request. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the subject applications
during its meeting of June 20, 2001 and voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council
adopt the attached resolution approving the Tentative Tract Map and Planned Development
District.
BACKGROUND:
Spartan Villa Hermosa, LLC has submitted applications for both a Tentative Tract Map and a
Planned Development District to allow the rehabilitation of an existing 21-unit multiple family
(proposed condominium) project. The existing multiple family units are vacant, and the project
proposes interior and exterior remodeling of the dwelling units, the addition of carports, and
substantial landscape improvements for the site. The tentative tract map application is to subdivide
the project dwelling units for condominium ownership. The applicant has also submitted an
application to vacate a street.
This Planned Development District application proposes to provide specific development standards
for the project as well as a combined preliminary and final development plan as provided for by
Zoning Code Section 9403.00.
ADJACENT ZONING / LAND USE:
North: C-1 apartments and retail uses
South: R-2 church and commercial uses

East: C-1 vacant
West: R-1-A; single family residential (west of Prescott Road).
ANALYSIS:
Tentative Tract Map
This Tentative Tract Map proposes to subdivide an existing apartment complex for condominium
ownership purposes. The City's Municipal Code, consistent with the State Subdivision Map Act,
requires that any project which is the subject of a condominium map must meet all currently
applicable zoning and other regulations. The project site is nonconforming with respect to zoning
regulations pertaining to development standards.
In order to address these nonconformities, a Planned Development District application has been
filed in conjunction with this application requesting approval of modified development standards.
With approval of the accompanying PD, the project will conform to all zoning requirements.
The subject property is located within the R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Residential) zone, which
allows multiple family dwellings. The site is .95 acres.
The subject site as presented in accompanying plans includes an area that is currently utilized as
a public street(Prescott Drive). Astreetvacation is required in order to add this to the property, and
the applicant has submitted an application for a street vacation in conjunction with this tentative tract
map application. As the portion of roadway is designated in the General Plan as a local road, and
as vacation of this portion of roadway will not adversely impactthe circulation system in the vicinity
of the site, vacation of this portion of the roadway is consistent with the General Plan.
The State Subdivision Map Act contains provisions for the notification of tenants when an existing
apartment complex is proposed to be subdivided for condominium purposes, as well as exclusive
rights of tenants to contract for purchase of units. As the subject property has been vacant for
some time, no such notifications or offers to tenants are required
Planned Development
This proposed Planned Development District and accompanying development plan consists of
development standards and design plans for the rehabilitation of an existing property. The existing
Villa Hermosa apartment complex consists of21 dwelling units within 3 existing one-and two-story
buildings. Thecomplex, builtin 1946 was originally designed by architect Albert Frey. Thebuildings
are nowvacant, and the applicant has submitted plans depicting a variety of improvements for the
project, including building facade remodeling, new decks and patios for the individual units, new
landscaping and walls, and new parking carports. The improvements serve to rehabilitate and
enhance the existing structures designed by Frey.
The proposed rehabilitation and remodel of this project site entails both existing and proposed
(carports) structures, and a number of modifications to existing zoning development standards.
In accordance with Section 9403.00(C)of the Zoning Code,the Planning Commission and the City
/ 0UAW
Case 5,0678 PD and TTM 29987

Council are authorized to establish a full range of development standards appropriate to the orderly
development of a site forwhich a PD is approved. Therefore, the Planning Commission and City
Council may determine thatthe benefits of the development plan proposed warrantthe granting of
the development standards proposed. Note that nearly all nonconformities are existing and
proposed to continue primarily becausethe projectfocuses on rehabilitation ratherthan demolition
and reconstruction.
The project site is located within the R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Residential) zone. The
development standards required in this zone,and the standards proposed within the development
plan presented, are as follows:
Allowed/Required Proposed
Density 1 unit/ 3,000 sq.ft. (*) 1 unit/ 1,963 sq.ft.
Height 24' 18' maximum
15' max. within 150' of including within 150' of
adjacent R-1 property adjacent R-1 property
Setback, Front 25' 18'
Setback, Side 10, 8'6"
*: The allowable General Plan Density is 21 units per acre.
These nonconformities are existing and are not proposed to be intensified.
Note that although the density exceeds that permitted in the R2 zoning district,the density complies
with the density allowance for the Resort Commercial designation noted in the General Plan.
Therefore, the density is consistent with the density identified in the General Plan.
The proposed site plan makes efficient use of the project area (including the proposed street
vacation) in order to improve the project site and provide numerous new amenities for future
residents. With respect to parking, new carports are proposed which will provide individual units
with covered parking, as required by the zoning code. The proposed carports meet parking
dimensional requirements and provide adequate vehicular back-up and maneuvering area. Guest
parking is proposed to be provided in parking bays opening directly onto the street.
A complete landscaping plan forthe project site,which currently contains only scattered palm trees,
has been submitted. The landscape plan presented features numerous mesquite and acacia trees
around the project perimeter, as well as a variety of palm trees and palm groupings. Turf, shrubs
and accent plants are combined for a lush effect both at the streets and within the project's internal
courtyard area. Parking lot landscaping is proposed as required by code, and colored decorative
concrete is proposed for additional enhancement.
Planning Commission finds the proposed development plan to be a significant enhancement of the
project site. Modifications to certain existing zoning requirements have been requested; staff finds
A4.4
Case 5.0678 PD and TTM 29987

the requests to be reasonable and finds the benefits of the improved project site to justify approval
of the plan as presented.
Approval by the Planning Commission and City Council of the preliminary development will
constitute approval of the preliminary Planned Development District, and the preliminary
development plan shall, by reference, be incorporated into and become a part of the Planned
Development District. Generally,the applicant would submit a final development plan for approval
by the Planning Commission, which would review the final plan for substantial conformance with
the approved preliminary plan. However, a Final Development Plan may be processed concurrent
with the Preliminary Development Plan. The applicant has submitted elevations, site plans,
landscape plans, lighting plans, and floor plans. With this application, approval of the development
plan as both a preliminary and final plan is requested.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
During its meeting of June 20,2001,the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
request for a Planned Development District and Tentative Tract Map. At the conclusion of the public
hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND NOTIFICATION:
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Sections 15301(k)and 15303(e). All property owners within four hundred(400)feet of the subject
site have been notified. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any correspondence
from adjacent property owners.

b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in
harmonywith the various elements orobjectives of the General Plan, and is not detrimental
to the existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use
is to be located.
The proposed project consists of an existing use that is proposed for subdivision into
condominium ownership. The use is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan,and
numerous improvements have been proposed in conjunction with the subject application(s)
