Discussion
A Tentative Tract Map application was submitted to the City Planning Division on
August 19, 2009 to allow the subdivision of two parcels into eight residential
condominium airspace parcels as part of an attached two-story multi-family
development in the R-2 (Low Density Multiple Residential District) of the 1988 Zoning
Ordinance (as amended). A Design Compatibility Permit (DCP) was not required for the
project because the site is located within the R-2 zoning district, and according to
Section 9.04.20.15.020 of the 1988 Zoning Ordinance (as amended), a DCP shall not
be required for condominiums in the R2, R3, and R4 districts. After a public hearing
1 of 3
and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning Commission
approved the Tentative Tract Map for the above project on August 19, 2009. In
conjunction with the Tentative Tract Map, the Planning Commission elected to adopt
Resolution 08-009 (PCS) adopting the attached Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative
Declaration. The Commission also approved the Mitigation Monitoring Program to
address potential project-related environmental impacts. This finding was based on the
determination 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. Since that time the architect has had to make
several revisions to the proposed design and, the project was approved the by
Architectural Review Board on June 1, 2015.
The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Tract Map approved by the Planning
Commission. The developer will be required to show proof of payment of the
condominium facilities tax of $8,000 prior to issuance of building permit. Additionally,
Pursuant to Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Chapter 9.56, the project is subject
to the City's Affordable Housing Production Program which requires the proposed 8-unit
condominium development to provide 20 percent of the units affordable to moderate
income households on-site or 1.6 units. As such, the applicant will provide one, two-
bedroom moderate income unit on-site (SMMC Section 9.56.050(a). In addition,
pursuant to SMMC Section 9.56.050(d), the applicant is required to pay an affordable
housing fee equal to the fractional affordable housing unit of 0.6 times the City's
affordable housing unit development cost (SMMC Section 9.56.070(a)(4). The fee will
be calculated prior to payment, based on the affordable housing unit development cost
resolution in effect at the time the affordable housing fee is paid to the City (SMMC
Section 9.56.070(c). The fee must be paid in full prior to the City granting any approval
for the occupancy of the project, but no earlier than at the time of building permit
issuance.
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
2 of 3
indicates that there are no required off-site public improvements assessed for this map.
Lastly, 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.
