Discussion
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map application was submitted to the City Planning Division
on March 17, 2008, to create six residential condominium air parcels (5-market rate
units and 1-moderate income level affordable unit) on one land lot as part of an
attached two-story multi-family development in the OP-2 (Ocean Park Low Density
Residential District) of the 1988 Zoning Ordinance (as amended). Both the Vesting
Tentative Map (VTTM #70209) and Design Compatibility Permit (08DCP-001) were
approved by the Planning Commission at its August 19, 2009 meeting. Since that time
the DCP has expired; however, the Vesting Tentative Tract Map has remained valid

After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the
Planning Commission approved the Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the above project
on August 19, 2009. The action of the Planning Commission was based on its findings
that the proposed subdivision would have no significant environmental impact and is in
conformance with all state and local laws and regulations, and applicable General Plan
Elements. The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Map approved by the Planning
Commission. Pursuant to SMMC Chapter 6.76, the developer will be required to show
proof of payment of the condominium facilities tax of $6,000 prior to issuance of building
permit. Additionally, the project is subject to the City's Affordable Housing Production
Program (AHPP) which requires the proposed 6-unit condominium development to
provide twenty (20) percent of the units affordable to moderate income households on-
site or 1.2 units. As such, the applicant will provide one 2-bedroom moderate income
unit on-site (SMMC Section 9.56.050). In addition the developer is required to pay an
,
affordable housing fee equal to the fractional affordable housing unit of 0.2 times the
P
(SMMC Section 9.56.070). 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. 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.
