PURPOSE:

Staff is requesting Council approval of Final Tract Map No. 53500. 

BACKGROUND:

The property covered on Final Tract Map No. 53500 is a one-lot subdivision totaling 10,500 square feet located at 421 East Santa Anita Avenue (location map is attached).  The 12 condominium subdivision will consist of a three-story condominium building over a subterranean garage.  The owner is Henry Kazagian. 

ANALYSIS:

In April 2001, the property owner requested City approval through a development  review  to demolish existing  two-unit and four-unit apartment buildings to construct a 12-unit apartment building.  Final Tract Map No. 53500 finalizes the conversion of apartments to a 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. 53500:

1. The tentative tract map was approved by the Community Development Director on August 29, 2002, pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 27-323 (Director�s Decision on Tentative Map).

2. The Final Tract Map contains 12 condominium units at 421 East Anita Avenue, which is located in the R-4 Residential Multiple Family Medium Density zone.

3. 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.

4. Conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 53500 have been cleared by the Planning Division for purposes 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 can not record the CC&Rs until this tract map is approved by Council and recorded at the Los Angeles County Recorder�s Office).

5. 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. 53500 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 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 Council adopt the resolution approving Final Tract Map No. 53500 owned by Henry Kazagian.
