 City of Hermosa Beach --- 08-11-98SUBJECT: FINAL TRACT MAP #52278 (SUBDIVISION 96-1 C.U.P. 97-12 FOR R-1 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
LOCATION: 532-540 2OTH STREET
APPLICANT(S): HAWTHORNE SAVINGS
REQUEST: TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL TRACT MAP FOR A FIVE LOT SUBDIVISION FOR 4 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AND A PRIVATE STREET
Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Final Tract Map #52278 which is consistent with the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map and the Conditions of Approval of P.C. Resolution 98-11, and recommends the City Clerk be directed to endorse the certificate for said map.
Background The City Council approved the Vesting Tentative Tract Map and Conditional Use Permit for a five lot subdivision at their meeting of May 13, 1997. The Planning Commission amended the conditions of the project to allow a direct connection of stormwater runoff to the L.A. County storm drain rather than pumping stormwater to the street at its meeting of February 17, 1998. On site and off-site improvements for the subdivision (property line walls, the drainage system and the private street, improvements to 20th St./Power) are currently under construction by Hawthorne Savings. Hawthorne Savings has entered an agreement to sell the single family lots to one Builder pending recordation of the Tract Map.
Process Once a map has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, copies of the tentatively approved map must be submitted to the L.A. County Engineer, who is contracted by the City, to review the map for its technical correctness (pursuant to Section 66442(a)(4)of the Subdivision Map Act).
An applicant has two years from the date of tentative map approval to submit for final map approval. Typically applicants have not submitted for final map approval until projects are near completion and ready to be sold. In this case, the applicant has nearly completed the site improvements, and the Builder that purchases the development will submit the construction plans for the single family homes.
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, the project Conditions of Approval, and in conformance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING APPROVAL OF FINAL TRACT MAP #52278 FOR A FIVE LOT SUBDIVISION FOR FOUR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS AND A PRIVATE STREET LOCATED AT 532-540 20TH STREET, HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the City Council held a meeting on August 11, 1998 and made the following Findings: A. This project will not violate any of the provisions of Sections 66474, 66474.1, and 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act; B. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan required by Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of the Government Code, or any specific plan adopted pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 65450) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of the Government Code; C. The development of the property in the manner set forth on the subject division of land will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of any public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within the subject division of land; D. The final tract map is in substantial compliance with the tentative tract map approved by the Planning Commission (P.C. Resolution 98-11) and subject to all conditions outlined in Planning Commission Resolutions P.C. No. 98-11 adopted after a public hearing on February 17, 1998. E. This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to 15268(b)(3), "Approval of final subdivision maps", of the California Environmental Quality Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby resolve as follows:
