RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution recommending the Final Map for Tract No. 82293, for a 28-unit multi-family residential Condominium Subdivision, at 2608-2612 Honolulu Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The Final Map process consists of a subdivider preparing a tentative map for review and conditional approval by the city. The Community Development Department and Planning Division review the tentative map and distribute the map for review and comments by other city departments. The Planning Commission then conducts a hearing and provides their conditions of approval. The subdivider then prepares a Final Map for review and approval by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. After the county approves the Final Map, it is submitted back to the city for further processing. Once final approvals from the various city departments are obtained, and the Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer has stamped and signed the Final Map, it is presented to the City Council for final approval.
On November 7, 2018, the Tentative Map for Tract No. 82293 for a proposed 28-Unit multi-family residential Condominium Subdivision at 2608-2612 Honolulu Avenue was approved by the Planning Commission of the City of Glendale subject to compliance with the Subdivision Map Act, other applicable State statutes, Chapters 16.32 (Final Maps) and 16.16 (New Condominiums) of Title 16 and Title 30 of the Glendale Municipal Code, as well as forty-two conditions of approval. The conditional approval given by the Planning Commission on this Tentative Map expired on November 7, 2021, thirty-six (36) months from the date of the Planning Commission’s action. Under State Bill AB 1561 an additional eighteen months extended the approval date to May 7, 2023.
On July 19, 2023, the Planning Commission approved another time extension for this Tentative Map for a period of twelve months until May 7, 2024.
After obtaining approval from the Planning Commission, the applicant prepared and submitted the Final Map to Los Angeles County for review. After the county review was completed, the Final Map was submitted back to the city for further processing.
Signatures and approvals from various city departments, including the Director of Community Development and the Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer have been obtained for the Final Map for Tract No. 82293 and it is now ready for approval by the City Council. The city has also received a copy of the Title Report and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, establishing a Homeowner’s Association, all of which are in acceptable form.
