This report transmits an application from Joseph A. Lyons from
the determination of the Planning Commission's denial of a
Tentative Tract Map for conversion of an existing apartment
house to condominiums.
Background
On November 20, 1978 the applicant filed a Tentative Tract Map
for conversion of the 30 unit apartment at 621 San Vicente Boule-
vard to condominiums. The. application came before the Planning
Commission on April 2, 1979, was opposed by a number of the tenants
and continued to April 16th for further action. On April 16th
the matter was continued to May 7th at which time it was denied
following further opposition by 7 tenants and subsequently ap-
pealed to the City Council.
Alternatives
Under State and local subdivision procedures, the City Council
comprises the appeals body in the case of condominium applica-
tions and may affirm, .reverse or modify any determination of the
Planning Commission. The determination of the City Council is
final.

The Council may therefore deny the appeal and uphold the
determination. of the Planning Commission or grant the appeal
and overrule the. Planning Commission's decision.
The Council could also grant the appeal, adding such require-
ment as they may believe indicated.
Recommendation.
Inasmuch as the Planning Commission has carefully considered the
application on two occasions including public comments on both
occasions and determined that the proposed conversion should
not be approved, it is respectfully recommended that the appeal
be denied and the decision of the Planning Commission be upheld.
