ANALYSIS:

In June 2003, the property owner requested City approval through a development review to demolish a single family residence to construct a two-story, five-unit residential building with eleven semi-subterranean parking spaces.  Final Map No. 61074 finalizes the conversion of residential multifamily building into 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. 61074:

1. The tentative tract map was approved by the Community Development Director on August 31, 2004 pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 27-323 (Director�s Decision on Tentative Map).

2. The Final Tract Map contains 5 condominium units at 721 East Cypress Avenue, which is located in the R-3 Residential Multiple Low 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. 61074 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. 61074 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.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution approving Final Tract Map No. 61074 owned by Sarkis Baghikian.
