This report is being resubmitted for City Council approval. City Council approved the Final
Tract Map on December 18, 2001; however, reference to the Subdivision Improvement
Agreement was inadvertently excluded in the recommendation of the staff report and the
City Council must authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement and then approve the Final Tract Map.
BACKGROUND
After 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
June 9, 1999. 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.
DISCUSSION
The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Map. The License Division reports that the
developer has agreed to pay the condominium tax. The project has been approved by the
Los Angeles County Engineer’s office and certified by the City Engineer for conformance
with the 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, Performance Bond and
Labor and Materials Bond, stating their agreement with the City to complete the required
public improvements at the expense of the applicant. The improvements consist of the
removal and replacement of sidewalk and construction of a new curb and gutter adjacent
to the project. The agreement has been approved as to content by the City Engineer and
as to form by the City Attorney. Therefore, there is no impediment to approval.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT
The recommendation presented in this report does not have a budget or fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and
execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and adopt the accompanying resolution
approving the Final Tract Map.
