BACKGROUND

After public hearing and careful review of the record and staff
recommendations, the City Planning Commission approved the Tenta-
tive Map for the above project on October 17, 1990.  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.  This project
was the subject of litigation and a subsequent Standstill
Agreement between the City and the developer.  The processing of
this project, including submittal and processing of the tentative
and final maps is consistent with the terms of the Standstill
Agreement.

The Final Map conforms to the Tentative Map.  The License Divi-
sion reports that the developer has agreed to pay the condominium
tax.  The project has been approved by the Los Angeles County
Engineer's office and certified by the City Engineer for confor-
mance with the Tentative Map and conditions thereon, the Subdivi-
sion Map Act and local ordinances.  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.

The recommendation presented in this report does not have a bud-
get or fiscal impact.
