FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director
Lisa Flores, Planning & Community Development Administrator
Prepared By: Luis Torrico, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 82355 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”)
FOR A SIX-UNIT MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM
SUBDIVISION AT 418 FAIRVIEW AVENUE
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. 82355 was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on July 9, 2019, to develop a six-
unit multi-family residential condominium subdivision at 414 Fairview Avenue. After the
tentative tract map was approved by the Planning Commission, the property owner
changed the address from 414 Fairview Avenue to 418 Fairview Avenue. Final Tract
Map No. 82355 has met all applicable criteria (refer to Attachment No. 1). Therefore, it
is recommended that the City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 82355, along with a
Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
DISCUSSION
Final Tract Map No. 82355 will accommodate the construction of a six-unit multi-family
residential condominium on a 13,969 square foot lot. According to Development Code
Section 9105.03.110, tentative tract maps are valid for 24 months after the effective
date. However, Assembly Bill No. 1561, which was approved on September 28, 2020,
to support housing production in light of the challenges created by the COVID-19
pandemic, extends the expiration date of housing entitlements by 18 months. Therefore,
the tentative tract map for this project will expire on January 7, 2023. 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 County Recorder’s
Office. The map has been reviewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Works – refer to Attachment No. 2. The map has been found to be in substantial
compliance with both the tentative map, as conditionally approved by the Planning
Commission, and the subdivision regulations of the City’s Development Code and the
State Subdivision Map Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact incurred by the City as a result of this action.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Final Map No. 82355 is categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines as an infill development project. The Planning Commission affirmed this
finding and conditionally approved Tentative Tract Map No. 82355 at its regular meeting
on July 9, 2019.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 82355 with a
categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) for a
six-unit multi-family residential condominium subdivision at 418 Fairview Avenue.
