Planning commission approves tentative parcel map to split 3446 Baldwin Park Boulevard into two R‑1 lots
Summary
The Baldwin Park Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC25-11 to approve TPM 83647, subdividing a 0.51-acre R‑1 parcel at 3446 Baldwin Park Boulevard into two single-family lots. The commission found the project categorically exempt under CEQA Guideline 15315 and approved the map unanimously on May 14.
The Baldwin Park Planning Commission voted unanimously on May 14 to approve Resolution PC25-11, authorizing Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 83647 to subdivide a 0.51-acre single-family parcel at 3446 Baldwin Park Boulevard into two R‑1 lots.
Staff told the commission the property contains two existing single-family homes, each with its own frontage (Baldwin Park Boulevard and Main Avenue), and that no additions or alterations to the existing structures are proposed as part of the subdivision. Planning staff noted an associated community-enhancement matter involving a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) fronting Main Avenue; that ADU conversion is subject to separate review under the city's ADU ordinance and state ADU law and was not considered in the commission’s parcel-map decision.
The commission found the project exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, citing the categorical exemption for minor land divisions (CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs., §15315). After the public hearing the parcel owners, Mei Wen and Yu Wen, reiterated that the lot currently has two addresses and two homes and said the subdivision would formalize the existing arrangement.
Vote and motion: Commissioner Gonzales moved to approve the tentative parcel map; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call vote (Chair Pena: yes; Vice Chair Gonzales: yes; Commissioner Escobosa: yes; Commissioner Miranda DeZig: yes). The commission adopted Resolution PC25-11 approving TPM 83647.
Next steps and permits: Planning staff said the ADU legalization and any tenant-improvement permits related to the detached unit must be submitted separately; those plans will be reviewed against the city’s ADU ordinance. A notice of exemption for CEQA will be filed as required.
