Body
ANALYSIS:
PM37452 (PM2018-0001) will establish two parcels on 8.81 acres generally located 350 feet west of Lincoln Avenue, north of Sixth Street. Parcel 1 is the larger of the two parcels proposed at 8.59 acres and will continue to accommodate an existing mobile home park containing 92 mobile homes. Parcel 2 will be 0.20 acres (8,712 square feet) and will accommodate an existing 1,717 square foot commercial building that has been vacant since 2013. The following table summarizes the lot information for this subdivision.
TABLE 1
Proposed Lot Sizes
Parcel No. Lot Area (Acres)
|109| 8.59|109| 0.20
A 0.01
B 0.02
Parcel 1 will continue to retain the MP zone whereas Parcel 2 is proposed to have a zone of C-3 from MP. Section 17.30.050 of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC) governs development in the MP zone and prescribes minimum development standards for a mobile home park. The MP zone indicates the site area, not lot area, shall be no less than 10 acres. Currently, the site area of the mobile home park is 8.81 acres. The mobile home park is a legally established use and was likely established prior to the minimum site area established in the CMC. The parcel map separating 0.20 acres from the current mobile home park will reduce the size of the mobile home park to 8.59 acres. However, this slight reduction will not affect the overall layout or operation of the mobile home park because the 0.20 acres is separated and isolated from the other mobile homes located in the park and has direct access from Sixth Street and not from the park itself. Therefore, the parcel map is not creating a substandard condition from the current condition.
Section 17.33.060 of the CMC describes the development standards for properties in the C-3 zone. No minimum lot size is prescribed for the C-3 zone; therefore, the proposed 0.20 acres would be consistent with the zone. The lot width and depth of Parcel 2 is approximately 75 feet by 114 feet, respectively.
The two lettered lots shown on the parcel map accommodate the dedications for the street rights-of-way adjacent to Sixth Street. Both parcels will continue to have access from Sixth Street with the mobile home park also having secondary access from Lincoln Avenue.
The parcel map will allow Parcel 2 to function as a commercial parcel separate from the mobile home park and will integrate with other commercial uses fronting Sixth Street. Additionally, PM37452 will serve to implement General Plan goals and policies encouraging development of vacant infill properties and facilitation of uses that serve the city's residents and business community.
