TRACT MAP ADDRESS SUBDIVIDER UNITS
No. 60419 180316 th Street Steven Stapakis 10
Background
A Design Compatibility Permit application for the development of a 11 -unit condominium
project was submitted on September 11, 2003, and the required Tentative Tract Map
application was subsequently submitted to the City on February 9, 2004. Through
extensive work with the applicant on the project design the proposed number of units
was reduced to ten. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the project
determined that there would be significant and unavoidable impacts to traffic that could
not be mitigated to a less than significant level. As such, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was adopted for the project. All other impacts identified in the EIR were
able to be mitigated to a less than significant level with the implementation of mitigation
measures and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program.

After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the
Planning Commission approved a Tentative Tract Map for the 10 -unit condominium
project on March 21, 2012.
Discussion
The action of the Planning Commission at its March 21, 2012, public hearing was based
on its findings that the proposed subdivision complies with all state and local laws and
regulations, and applicable General Plan Elements. The Final Map conforms to the
Tentative Map. The developer will be required to show proof of the one -time payment
of the condominium tax of $1,000 per unit (i.e. $10,000 total) prior to the issuance of
building permit. The Final Map 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
Engineer's office indicates that the off -site public improvements required include, 1)
replacing the existing asphalt alley adjacent to the subject property with concrete, 2)
removing an entrance on 16th Street, and 3) replacing the curb and sidewalk in the
vicinity. 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.
