Discussion
A Vesting Tentative Parcel Map application (13TM -003 ) was submitted to the City
2 o f 3
Planning Division on August 22, 2013 to create 3 residential condomini um air space
parcels on one land lot in the R2 Low Density Residential zoning district. After a public
hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning
Commission approved the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for the above proj ect on
October 16, 2013. 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 Gener al Plan
Elements. The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Map.
As a vesting tentative parcel map application, its associated approval confers a vested
right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances,
policies, and standar ds in effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete by the
City. In this case, the application was deemed complete on September 14, 2013, and
therefore the development is subject to the development standards of the 1988 Zoning
Ordinance (as amended ) in effect at that time and not the current Zoning Ordinance.
A Design Compatibility Permit was not required for the project because the site is
located within the R2 zoning district, and according to Section 9.04.20.15.020 of the
1988 Zoning Ordinance (as amended), such a permit is not required for condominiums
in the R2, R3, and R4 districts.
The developer will be required to show proof of payment of the condominium tax of
$3,000 prior to issuance of a building permit. The Final Map has been approve d 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 there are no required o ff -
site public improvements. 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.
