SUBJECT:CONSIDERATION OF LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT NO. 195
200 AND 220 S. VINCENT AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-32 – A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
NO. 195 LOCATED AT 200 AND 220 S. VINCENT AVENUE AND DIRECTING THE
RECORDATION THEREOF
DISCUSSION:
Zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations are commonly used legal devices used to carry out
the City's general Plan. The City's zoning ordinance divides the city into districts, or zones, and
regulates land use activity in each district, specifying the permitted uses of land and buildings, the
intensity or density of such uses, and the bulk (size) of buildings on the land. By contrast, the City's
subdivision regulations govern both the division of land into two or more lots, parcels, or sites for
building and the location, design, and installation of supporting infrastructure.
In compliance with the City's subdivision regulations, the property owner for 200 and 220 S. Vincent
Avenue has requested adjustment of the common lot line between the two parcels. One of the
parcels is rectangular and 0.47 acres in size, occupied by the Pacific Western Bank. The other parcel
is also rectangular and one acre in size, occupied by a vacant former Elephant Bar restaurant. The
purpose of this lot line adjustment is to realign the property lines for the construction of a 4,217
square-foot fast food restaurant (Chick-Fil-A) with drive-through access.
This lot line adjustment would reconfigure the existing lots as indicated in the following table:
Parcel No.Address Existing Size Proposed Size Change
1 200 S. Vincent Avenue 60,191 SF 43,366 SF -14,825 SF
2 220 S. Vincent Avenue 20,498 SF 35,323 SF +14,825 SF
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1.Approve staff’s recommendation; or
2.Provide alternative direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is a Categorical Exemption Class 5 (Section 15305: Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970
(CEQA) since the project involves a lot line adjustment with no creation of new parcels.
