SUBJECT: FINAL TRACT MAP #52158 (C.U.P. CON NO. 96-7)

LOCATION: 1301 THE STRAND

APPLICANT(S): SEAVIEW DEVELOPMENT

REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRACT MAP FOR COMMERCIAL RESORT CONDOMINIUMS

Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of a Final Map for Tract #52158 which is consistent with the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map, and recommends the City Clerk be directed to endorse the certificate for said map.

Background

The City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit, and Precise Development Plan for a 96 unit condominium resort hotel and Vesting Tentative Tract #52158 at their December 17, 1996 meeting. Phase I of the project is currently under construction and near completion. Phase II construction will begin when the parking structure on Lot C is completed.

Process

The process for commercial condominiums is the same as residential. Once a map has been tentatively approved by the City, copies of the tentatively approved map are submitted to the L.A. County Public Works Department, contracted by the City to review and approve the map for its technical correctness (pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4)of the Subdivision Map Act). The final map for this project has been submitted to the County, and the applicant is expecting approval prior to January 27, a copy of which will be provided to the Council.

An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map approval. Typically applicants do not submit for final map approval until projects are near completion and ready to be sold.

Final maps must be submitted to the City Council and must be approved by the City Council, "...if it conforms to all the requirements of [Subdivision Map Act] and any local subdivision ordinance applicable at the time of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map and any rulings made thereunder...." pursuant to Section 66458(a) of the Subdivision Map Act.

Analysis

The staff has reviewed the Final Map and found it substantially consistent with the Vesting Tentative Tract approved by the City Council and in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.

The tract is divided into Lot 1 and Lot 2 representing the Phase I and Phase II portions of the project.
