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. 82853 was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on November 26, 2019, to develop
a single lot with a five-unit multi-family residential condominium subdivision located at
314 California Street. Final Tract Map No. 82853 has met all applicable criteria (refer to
Attachment No. 1). Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve Final
Tract Map No. 82853, along with a categorical exemption under the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
DISCUSSION
Final Tract Map No. 82853 will accommodate the construction of a five-unit multi-family
residential condominium subdivision on a 12,750 square foot lot. 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 December 10, 2021.
Project construction is currently in progress and a Certificate of Occupancy will not be
issued until the map has been approved and recorded by the Los Angeles Recorder’s
Office.

on November 26, 2019.
