BACKGROUND
After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the
Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the above project on
July 17, 2002. The action of the Planning Commission was based on its findings that the
proposed subdivision will have no significant environmental impact and is in conformance
with all state and local laws and regulations, and applicable General Plan Elements. The
Final Map conforms to the Vesting Tentative Map. The License Division reports that the
developer paid the condominium tax on April 3, 2003 in the amount of $5,000. The project
has been approved by the Los Angeles County Engineer’s office and certified by the City
Engineer for conformance with the Vesting Tentative Map and conditions thereon, the
Subdivision Map Act and local ordinances. The City Attorney's office has approved the
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Final Map as complying with the conditions
of the Tentative Map and applicable laws.
The applicant has signed the Subdivision Improvement Agreement, stating his agreement
with the City to complete the required public improvements at the expense of the applicant.
The improvements include abandoning a driveway and reconstructing the alley in 7-inch
concrete over an approved base material per City standard. The agreement has been
approved as to content by the City Engineer.
