SUMMARY

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. 74941 was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on August 22, 2017, for a ten-unit
multi-family residential condominium subdivision at 837 ½ W. Huntington Drive. Final
Map No. 74941 has met all applicable criteria. Therefore, it is recommended that the
City Council approve Final Map No. 74941 – refer to Attachment No. 1.

condominium subdivision. According to Development Code Section 9105.03.110,
tentative maps are valid for 24 months after the effective date. The approval was valid
until October 4, 2019; however, a one-year extension was granted from the date of this
approval, which expires on September 6, 2020. The project is currently under
construction and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The map has been reviewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works,
