ITEM NO. 2 Santiago Lot Merger No. LM2019-003 (PA2019-187)
Site Location: 2309, 2311 and 2321 Santiago Drive Council District 3
Melinda Whelan, Assistant Planner, provided a brief project description stating the application was for a lot
merger and request to waive the parcel map requirement for three properties, under common ownership. The
merger would combine the three legal lots into a single parcel. She explained that for more than 20 years, 2309
and 2311 Santiago Drive have been used as one single family development, and for the last 20 years, they
have been used together with 2321 Santiago Drive for a single-family development. The purpose of the lot
merger is to merge the parcels into one parcel to allow for a future single-unit residence to be built over the
existing lot lines. All construction will be required to comply with the Zoning Code standards, including parking
and setback requirements.
Ms. Whelan added a correction to a typographical error in the resulting lot size on page 3 of the Resolution
under Finding C.4.
Applicant David Smith, Architect, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the
required conditions.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment,
the public hearing was closed.
The Zoning Administrator added “will not change the historic size or shape” to Finding E.4.
Action: Approved
