Summary
This report transmits for City Council approval a Final Parcel Map for the following 3-unit condominium project. The Vesting Tentative Parcel Map was approved by the Planning Commission on May 20, 2020. In accordance with Santa Monica Municipal Code (“SMMC”) Section 9.54.070(G)(2), the Planning Commission’s decision could have been appealed to the City Council within 10 days; however, the City did not receive an appeal within that time frame. Additionally, pursuant to SMMC Section 9.39.020, no additional land use entitlements were required from the Planning Commission to approve the project. A timely filing of the Final Map was made to the County or City prior to the Map’s expiration date. According to Section 66452.6(d) of the Subdivision Map Act, once a timely filing is made to the County or City, subsequent actions of the local agency, including, but not limited to, processing, approving, and recording of a map, may lawfully occur after the map’s expiration date.

Discussion
On February 27, 2020, a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map application (20ENT-0063) was submitted to the City Planning Division to create three residential condominium air space parcels on one land lot in the R2 zone district located at 2425 20th Street. On May 20, 2020, after a public hearing and careful review of the record and staff recommendations, the Planning Commission approved a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for the project. In accordance with SMMC Section 9.54.070(G)(2), the Planning Commission’s decision could have been appealed to the City Council within 10 days, but no appeal was filed. Additionally, pursuant to SMMC Section 9.39.020, the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map was the only entitlement required from the Planning Commission for approval of the project; however, the project will be subject to design review and approval by the Architectural Review Board and plan check review to ensure consistency with all provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The action of the Planning Commission to approve the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 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. In this case, the application was deemed complete on February 27, 2020, and therefore the development is subject to the development standards in effect at that time. 3 of 3
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.
Financial Impacts
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended action.
