Staff is requesting City Council approval of Parcel Map No. 24941-01.

Burbank Empire Center is a mixed-use project on 103 acres of land proposed by the Zelman Retail Partners Inc. The City Council held public hearings on Planned Development No. 97-3 and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 24941 for the Burbank Empire Center on June 6, 2000, June 13, 2000, September 5, 2000, and September 12, 2000. The City Council also certified the Environmental Impact Report (Resolution No. 25,768), approved the Planned Development (Ordinance No. 3554), and approved the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (Resolution No. 25,828) for this development.

The retail portion of the project, including Costco, The Great Indoors, Target, Lowes, and the smaller stores and restaurants have been completed, and the two hotels are open. The first phase of the office portion of the development, adjacent to Buena Vista Street, is complete. All of the public utilities have been installed, and the easement documents have been prepared and received. The Vesting Parcel Map will be recorded in phases to finalize the process.

The property covered on the submitted Parcel Map No. 24941-01 is a three-parcel subdivision. These parcels are located at the corner of Empire Ave and Buena Vista Street (location map is attached). The property is owned by Burbank Technology Center LLC, a California Limited Liability Company.

Staff has determined that this map is in compliance with the State Subdivision Map Act and Tentative Parcel Map No. 24941, and that it meets the Conditions of Approval for the overall project that pertained to the property. According to the State Subdivision Map Act, Chapter 3, Article 4, Section 66458, and the provisions of Chapter 27 of the Burbank Municipal Code, the City Council must approve Parcel Map No. 24941-01 if it conforms to all the requirements. If such conformity does not exist, the Council must disapprove the map at the meeting it receives the map, or at its next regular meeting. If the City Council has not authorized an extension to allow more time to disapprove the map, and the map conforms to all requirements, the map shall be deemed approved by operation of law.

Staff recommends that City Council approve Parcel Map No. 24941-01, owned by Burbank Technology Center LLC, a California Limited Liability Company.
