BACKGROUND

After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the above project on May 15, 2002.  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 applicable state and local laws and regulations, and General Plan Elements.  The Final Map conforms to the Vesting Tentative Map.  The License Division reports that the developer recorded (No. 03-3123429) a lien against the subject property on October 20, 2003 to assure payment of the $5,000 condominium tax is guaranteed to the City.  The project has been approved by the Los Angeles County Engineer’s office and certified by the City Engineer for conformance with the Vesting Tentative Map and conditions thereon, the Subdivision 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 City’s Civil Engineering Division has advised that no offsite improvements are necessary and, therefore, no off-site subdivision improvement agreement has been prepared.
