Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
Tentative tract maps and final maps are required for all subdivisions that result in or
create five or more parcels or condominium units. In accordance with Arcadia
Development Code Section 9105.05.050, the City Council shall approve a final map if it
conforms to all the requirements of the subdivision regulations of the Development
Code and the State Subdivision Map Act. Tentative Tract Map No. 73436 was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on August 13, 2019, to combine
two legal lots into one lot for a six unit multi-family residential condominium subdivision
located at 118-120 Alta Street. Final Tract Map No. 73436 has met all applicable criteria
(please see Attachment No. 1). Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council
approve Final Tract Map No. 73436, along with a categorical exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
DISCUSSION
Final Tract Map No. 73436 will consolidate two legal lots into one lot, totaling 12,007
square feet, to accommodate the construction of a six-unit multi-family residential
condominium subdivision. According to Development Code Section 9105.03.110,
tentative maps are valid for 24 months after the effective date. The tentative map for this
project will expire on August 24, 2021. Project construction is complete, but a Certificate
of Occupancy will not be issued until the map has been approved and recorded by the
Los Angeles Recorder’s Office.

on August 13, 2019.
