BACKGROUND
After public hearing and careful review of the record and staff
recommendations, and approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration
on the project, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tenta-
tive Map for the above project on August 7, 1996.  The action of
the Planning Commission was based on its findings that the pro-
posed subdivision will have no significant environmental impact
and is in conformance with all State and local laws and regula-
tions and applicable General Plan Elements.
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 applicant has signed the Subdivision Improvement Agreement,
stating their agreement with the City to complete the required
public improvements at the expense of the applicant.  The
agreement has been approved as to content by the City Engineer
and as to form by the City Attorney.  

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

RECOMMENDATION-

to execute the Subdivision Improvement Agreement and that the
Final Map be approved by adoption of the accompanying resolution.
