7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The State Subdivision Map Act permits a lot line adjustment between four or fewer adjoining
parcels, where land taken from one parcel is added to an adjoining parcel, and where a greater
number of parcels than originally existed is not thereby created. The lot line adjustment must be
approved by the local agency.
Max L. Hoskins of Hoskins Equipment acquired a 40 feet wide strip of land from Union Pacific
Railroad Company in 2006. This strip of land is located on the east side of the existing railroad
easement stretching from Katella Avenue at the north end to Collins Avenue at the south end.
This strip of land consists of a total of 4 lots. A request by Mr. Hoskins to adjust the lot lines
among these 4 lots was made in 2011. The request was denied by SRC for the reason that the
former railroad strip does not have any General Plan designation and has not assigned Zoning.
Therefore, the lot line adjustment application does not conform to City ordinances. Since that
time, the City has amended the General Plan and the strip of land now has General Plan and
Zoning designations.
Mr. Hoskins subsequently resubmitted the Lot Line Adjustment application, but revised the
request to adjust only the middle 2 lots only, instead of all 4 lots. Lot Line Adjustment 2011 -03
is now requesting to adjust the lot line between 2 lots to align the property line with the adjacent
properties.
Both lots now have the Zoning designation of M -1, Light Manufacturing. Although these 2 lots
do not meet the minimum lot size requirement to be a developable lot, approving this lot line
adjustment will allow the strip of land to be combined with neighboring properties in the future
and become developable.
The proposed lot line adjustment is graphically depicted on Exhibit `B" in the attached
Resolution No. 10808.
All of the Subdivision Map Act requirements for this lot line adjustment have been satisfied. All
zoning and planning requirements are also met.
