DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission makes the findings as set forth in the staff report and attached resolution, approve the Lot Line Adjustment, and adopt the Exemption Declaration subject to the plans and applications submitted.
BACKGROUND
The project includes three lots that currently function as two building sites. The existing sites are 1731 and 1735 Armour Lane. Each site has an existing one-story single-family residence built by the same owner in 1957.
The three underlying lots are all 100 feet deep, however, the lot widths vary. 1731 Armour Lane includes Lot 40 and five feet of Lot 41. At some point, the five feet was deeded to Lot 40 for an adjusted lot width of 30 feet. Prior to the Subdivision Map Act, it was common for property owners to deed portions of their lots to adjacent properties. 1735 Armour Lane includes Lot 42 and is tied to the remaining 20 feet of Lot 41, for a total tied width of 45 feet.
When the existing building at 1735 Armour Lane is demolished, the lot tie ceases to exist. Thus, Lot 42 remains 25 feet in width and Lot 41 is left with only 20 feet in width. The applicant wishes to restore Lot 41 to the standard R-1A Zone lot width of 25 feet. This adjustment will bring all three lots back to their original configuration with 25 feet of street frontage for each site.
