Discussion
On November 9, 2017, Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 17ENT-0250 and Major Modification 17ENT-0255 applications were submitted to the City Planning Division to create three residential condominium air space parcels on one land lot in the R2 district.
On August 7, 2019, after a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map and Major Modifications for the project. 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. As a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map application, its associated approval confers a vested right to proceed with development in substantial compliance with the ordinances, policies, and standards in effect at the time the vesting map is deemed complete by the City.
The developer will be required to show proof of payment of the condominium tax of $3,000 prior to issuance of building permit. The Final Map 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 Engineer’s office indicates that there are no required offsite public improvements. 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.
