ITEM NO. 3 2451 and 2455 Marino Drive Lot Merger No. LM2016-006 (PA2016-087)
Site Location: 2451 and 2455 Marino Drive Council District 3
David Lee, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that a lot merger was requested
for 2451 and 2455 Marino Drive, both of which are under common ownership. Both of the lots are zoned as
Single-Unit Residential and this merger would combine two legal lots into a single parcel. Mr. Lee stated that
the purpose of the lot merger is for a future single-family residence, which will be constructed over the
existing interior property line. The proposed lot will not result in an excessively large lot, as there are many
lots in the surrounding neighborhood that exceed the area and width of the proposed merger. There are no
waivers of the subdivision development standards and staff is recommending approval of Lot Merger No.
LM2016-006 and has provided resolutions with findings.
The Zoning Administrator asked the applicants a question regarding the plans for the future construction. The
applicants responded that a single-family residence will be constructed over the existing interior lot line. The
Zoning Administrator asked staff to add a condition of approval to the resolution stating that prior to the
recordation of the lot merger, a minimum of one dwelling unit shall be modified or demolished, so that the
merged lot will not contain more than one dwelling unit.
Applicants Peter and Mary Rooney stated that they had reviewed the draft resolution and agree with all of the
