PURPOSE

Staff is requesting City Council approval of Final Tract Map No. 53799. 

BACKGROUND

The property covered on Final Tract Map No. 53799 is a one-lot subdivision totaling 15,249 square feet.  Located at 620 E. Palm Avenue, the property is in the R-4 Residential Multiple Medium Density zone (location map is attached).  The property is owned by Alex Kuiumdjian, Alexander Lu, and John Wu.

ANALYSIS

The existing properties were a triplex on 612 E. Palm Avenue and a duplex on 618 E. Palm Avenue.  In February 2002, the property owner requested City approval to convert the existing lots into one and construct a new three-story fifteen unit condominium complex with semi-subterranean parking.  The fifteen condominium units are currently under construction.  Final Tract Map No. 53799 finalizes the conversion of the existing properties to the condominium subdivision. 

All conditions of approval and all requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act have been met.  The following is a summary of information pertinent to the approval of Final Tract Map No. 53799:

1.      The tentative tract map was conditionally approved by the Community Development Director on July 3, 2002, pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 27-323 (Director�s Decision on Tentative Map).

2.      The Final Tract Map contains 15 condominium units at 620 E. Palm Avenue, which is located in the R-4 Residential Multiple Medium Density zone.

3.      Condition of approval will be satisfied when the applicant submits two recorded copies of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to the Planning Division.  All other requirements as set forth in the tentative map conditions have cleared the Planning Division for purposes of Final Tract Map No. 53799 approval.

4.      The Public Works Engineering Division has cleared all Conditions of Approvals for the tentative tract map for purposes of Final Tract Map No. 53799 approval.

5.      This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301(K). This Class 1 Categorical Exemption applies to condominiums.

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 Final Tract Map No. 53799 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.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 53799.
