Discussion
On November 9, 2017, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 17ENT-0250 and Major
Modification 17ENT-0255 applications were submitted to the City Planning Division to
create three residential condominium air space parcels on one land lot in the R2 district.
On August 7, 2019, after a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff
recommendations, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map
and Major Modifications for the project. 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 Parcel 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
$3,000 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.
