FROM: The City Staff
SUBJECT: Appeal, Tentative Tract No. 36627, 5 Unit Condominium
Conversion, 1452 Harvard Street, R2, Roscoe Webb, Jr.
Introduction
This is an application from the determination of the Planning
Commission to deny a permit for a condominium conversion.
Background
On December 19, 1978 the appellant filed a Tentative Tract Map
to convert a 6 year old 5 unit apartment to condoriiniums. The
matter came before the Planning Commission on March 19th for
consideration and following a public hearing was denied due to
inadequate parking and trash areas. The denial was by unanimous
vote by the 6 members present. The matter has been appealed to
the City Council.
Alternatives
Under the Santa Monica Subdivision Ordinance the City Council may
affirm, reverse or modify the determination of the Planning Com-
mission in the matter of a Tentative Tract PQap for subdivision
purposes. The Council may therefore grant the appeal and reverse
the Planning Commission or deny the appeal and let the decision
of the Commission stand.
Recommendation
Inasmuch as the State Map Act and the City's Condominium Ordinance
APR 2 4 ;gig
Mayor and City Council
- 2 - April 18, 1979
provide that the Planning Commission shall review and approve
a condominium project as satisfying certain minimum require-
ments in design, and the Planning Commission having reviewed
the proposed project and found it to be unsatisfactory by rea-
son of parking and trash area,_it is respectfully recommended
that the appeal be denied and the decision of the Planning Com-
mission upheld.
