SUBJECT: FINAL MAP #24685 (C.U.P. CON NO. 96-10, PDP NO. 96-11)

LOCATION: 616-618 FIRST STREET

APPLICANT(S): GARY FROMM

REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL MAP FOR A 2-UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT

Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of Final Parcel Map #24685 which is consistent with the approved Vesting Tentative Parcel Map, and recommends the City Clerk be directed to endorse the certificate for said map.

Background

The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for a two unit condominium project and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #24685 at their February 18, 1997 meeting. The applicant is in the process of obtaining building permits.

Process

Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, 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 map was approved by the County on June 5, 1997.

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. In this case, the applicant has submitted earlier to obtain final approval and recordation of a map which establishes a slightly different lot size than what is depicted on the Assessor's Parcel Map (an extra 6-foot depth where it abuts the Redondo Beach City boundary), which is necessary to accommodate the proposed project design.

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 Parcel Map approved by the Planning Commission and in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
