Discussion
A Vesting Tentative Tract Map application (17ENT -0305) was submitted to the City
Planning Division on December 21, 2017, to create five (5) residential condominium air
space parcels on one land lot in the R-4 High Density Multi-Unit Residential 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 March
7, 2018. 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 General Plan
Elements. The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Map. As a vesting tentative tract
map application, its associated approval confers a vested right to proceed with
development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in
effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete by the City.
The developer will be required to show proof of payment of the condominium tax of
$5,000 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.
