Manteca planning commission approves two‑lot split for 712 Industrial Park Drive

The Manteca Planning Commission on a 4‑0 vote on Thursday adopted a resolution approving Tentative Parcel Map TMP 25‑186 to subdivide an 11.86‑acre parcel at 712 Industrial Park Drive into two parcels.

Assistant planner Allison Diaz told the commission the proposal would separate the existing single‑family dwelling onto a 0.21‑acre parcel while designating the remaining 11.65 acres as a separate parcel. “The project is determined to be categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act for section 15,315, minor land divisions of the CEQA guidelines,” Diaz said, and recommended the commission adopt the resolution approving the map.

Leah Simbelakis of Northstar Engineering, the project representative, said she had no additional remarks and confirmed the applicant’s agreement with the conditions of approval. Commissioners asked whether frontage improvements and sidewalks would be required; staff said those improvements would be determined at the time of development and are typically the developer’s responsibility. Staff also said the existing single‑family residence would remain legally nonconforming unless it were vacant for six months or destroyed, at which point it would be required to conform to commercial‑mixed‑use zoning.

Commissioner Mendoza moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Paslak seconded. The motion carried 4‑0.

The commission’s action was limited to approval of the tentative parcel map and a CEQA finding; any future development of the parcels will require compliance with zoning and applicable development standards and separate review.
