Planning commission approves four‑lot subdivision at 15529 Colorado Avenue

The City of Paramount Planning Commission on Feb. 11 approved a tentative parcel map to divide 15529 Colorado Avenue into four single‑family lots.

Associate Planner Ivan Reyes told commissioners the site measures roughly 14,992 square feet and that the proposed map would create one lot of 3,747 square feet and three lots of 3,748 square feet. The plan includes a central pedestrian and utility easement running from Colorado Avenue to the rear alley to provide access to the rear units; staff said the easement is not sized for vehicle access and would serve residents, deliveries and utilities.

The map follows earlier entitlements: a zone change from RM (multiple‑family residential) to a site‑specific PDPS zone and a development‑review approval of the building design. Reyes said the tentative parcel map will move to the City Council for final approval after the Commission’s recommendation and that a final parcel map must be prepared by or under the direction of a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor.

Commissioners asked about use of the easement, potential fencing and privacy concerns near the airport; Reyes said fences that divide individual lots would remain and any specific access fencing within the easement would be coordinated with the applicant. No members of the public spoke in opposition; the applicant was present and declined additional comment.

Gonzales moved and the Commission adopted Planning Commission Resolution PC25031 approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 84884, subject to the conditions listed in the staff recommendation. The roll call vote was unanimous (Esparza, Gonzales, Weisenberger and Chair Timmons voting yes).

The final parcel map and any administrative responses to conditions will be handled by city staff and the applicant before the item goes to City Council for final map recording.
