Discussion
A Vesting Tentative Parcel Map application (17ENT-0031) was submitted to the City
Planning Division on March 13, 2017, to create two (2) residential condominium air
space parcels on one land lot in the R3 Medium Density Residential zoning district.
After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the
Planning Commission approved a Tentative Tract Map for the above project on June
21, 2017. The action of the Planning Commission was based on its findings that the
proposed subdivision will have no significant environmental impact and is in
conformance with all state and local laws and regulations, and applicable Gene ral 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 standard s in
effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete by the City. In this case, the
application was deemed complete on April 13, 2017 and is therefore subject to the
development standards of the 2015 Zoning Ordinance (as amended) in effect at that
time.
The developer will be required to show proof of payment of the condominium tax of
$2,000 prior to 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 there are no required off -
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.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action.

Dear Council Members:
I oppose this project at the present time. The site is a severe fire hazard and has been for many months. Both the
vacant lot and the parkway at 1216 Arizona are fulled with tall weeds an dead trees.
In years past this site almost looked like a park but now it is a public nuisance and unsightly mess.
We (the members of Neighborhood Council) have request that City permits not be given to known violators of slum lord
conditions or other violations of code or promised conditions.
ANY PERMISSION TO THIS LAND OWNERS NEEDS TO DEMAND FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.
Santa Monica Mid City Neighbors do not wish to see any more blight in our neighborhood.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Ellen Hannan
