Commission backs tentative parcel map to split Palos Verdes lot into two
Summary
The commission recommended that city council approve a tentative parcel map application to subdivide one oversized Palos Verdes lot into two buildable lots; the applicant provided conceptual house plans and said they chose not to pursue an SB9 split. Tree impacts and future site development permits will be reviewed separately.
The Planning Commission recommended forwarding a tentative parcel map to the city council that would split one Palos Verdes lot into two lots matching the size and frontage of neighboring properties.
Staff summarized that the existing lot is roughly double the size of surrounding lots and that the two proposed parcels would meet minimum area and frontage requirements under the zoning code; staff recommended the commission recommend approval to council. The applicant said the split is intended to be compatible with the neighborhood and that preliminary conceptual plans for future houses and grading were included for informational purposes. The applicant explicitly said they chose not to pursue an SB9 split and that the proposal is intended to keep the lot consistent with the block.
Commissioners asked about tree removal and how tree removals would be handled; staff said any tree removal shown on the conceptual grading plan is preliminary and would be evaluated as part of a future site development permit. No public objections were raised during the hearing. The commission made a motion and recommended approval to forward the tentative parcel map to city council for final action.
