BACKGROUND

After a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for the above project on September 17, 2003.  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.  The Business License Division reports that the developer paid the condominium tax on August 15, 2005 in the amount of $4,000.  The project 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 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 his agreement with the City to complete the required public improvements at the expense of the applicant. The improvements include reconstruction of 1,000 square feet of Fifth Court alley.  The agreement has been approved as to content by the City Engineer and as to form by the City Attorney.
