Staff is requesting Council approval of Final Tract Map No. 54178. 

BACKGROUND:

The property covered on Final Tract Map No. 54178, a subdivision totaling 6,777 square feet, is located at 220 North Valley Street.  The property is in the MDR-4 Media District Multiple Family Medium Density Residential zone (location map is attached).  The property is owned by Valley Lights, LLC, A Limited Liability Company.

ANALYSIS:

In June 2002, the applicant requested to construct a new, two-story, five (5) unit apartment building with a semi-subterranean parking garage (DR 2002-22).  Tentative Tract Map No. 54178, approved by the Community Development Director on September 2002, converted the five-unit apartment building to condominiums.  Final Tract Map No. 54178 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. 54178:

1.      The tentative tract map was conditionally approved by the Community Development Director on September 11, 2003 pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 27-323 (Director�s Decision on Tentative Map).

2.      The Final Tract Map contains five (5) condominium units at 220 N. Valley Street, which is located in the MDR-4 Media District Multiple Family Medium Density Residential    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 along with the final Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Homeowners Association.  All other requirements as set forth in the tentative tract map conditions have cleared the Planning Division for purposes of Final Tract Map No. 54178 approval. 

4.      The Public Works Engineering Division has cleared all conditions for the approval of Final Tract Map No. 54178.

5.      This project is Statutorily Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act  pursuant to Section 15268 (b) (3) relating to approval of final subdivision maps.

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 Council must approve Final Tract Map No. 54178 if it conforms to all the requirements.  If such conformity does not exist, the Council must disapprove the map at the meeting when received, or at its next regular meeting.  If the 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.
