SUBJECT:

APPROVAL OF FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 54149 (600 EAST MAGNOLIA BOULEVARD)

PURPOSE:

 

Staff is requesting City Council approval of Final Tract Map No. 54149. 

 

BACKGROUND:

 

The property covered on Final Tract Map No. 54149 is a combined two lot subdivision totaling 15,203 square feet located at 600 East Magnolia Boulevard (location map is attached).  The new 18 condominium subdivision will consist of a three story condominium building over two levels of a subterranean garage.  The owners are Armik and Hilda Boghossian. 

 

ANALYSIS:

 

On January 31, 2003, the property owners requested City approval to convert the existing two lot, 9 unit apartment, into 18 residential condominiums with a subterranean parking garage.  Final Tract Map No. 54149 finalizes the condominium subdivision.

 

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. 54149:

  1. The vesting tentative tract map was approved by the Community Development Director on May 21, 2003, pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 27-323 (Director�s Decision on Tentative Map).

  2. The Final Tract Map contains 18 condominium units at 600 East Magnolia Boulevard, which is located in the R-4 Residential Multiple Medium Density zone.

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

  4. Conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 54149 have been cleared by the Planning Division for the purpose of Final Tract Map approval.  The condition of approval relating to Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) will be satisfied when the applicant submits two recorded copies of the CC&Rs to the Planning Division (applicant cannot record the CC&Rs until this tract map is approved by the City Council and recorded at the Los Angeles County Recorder�s Office).

  5. The owners of the newly created Tract Map No. 54149 will enter into a subdivision improvement agreement with the City of Burbank, and deliver a deposit or a security as determined by the Deputy City Manager/Public Works and Capital Projects to guarantee the completion of all the off-site improvements placed on this development.  Certain off-site improvements remain outstanding, including the reconstruction of the alley approach, alley pavement fronting the property and resurfacing to the centerline of Sixth Street fronting the property.  Conditions also include certain curbs, gutters, driveways and sidewalks, all of which shall occur upon the completion of construction. 

  6. 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. 54149 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. 54149 owned by Armik and Hilda Boghossian.
