IV. BACKGROUND
On July 9, 2019, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No.74898 that provides a subdivision development of 5-units of residential condominiums on a lot of approximately 0.39 acres, located at 21915 Dolores Street (Exhibit No. 3). Each unit measures approximately 1,900 square feet with an attached two-car garage, there will be five surface parking spaces and the residents will enjoy approximately 850 square feet of common open space that includes community amenities. The project site is located along Dolores Street between 219th Street to the north and 220th street to the south, and in close proximity to Carson Street.
The following provides a summary of the site information:
• General Plan Land Use Designation: Medium Density Residential
• Zone District: RM-12-D (Multiple Dwelling Residential, up to 12 dwelling units per acre, with Design Overlay)
• Site Size: 0.39 acre (16,789 sf)
• Present Use and Development: Single Family Residential with detached garage
• Surrounding Uses/Zoning: Existing one and two-story multifamily residential homes.
The project is consistent with the standards of the Multi Dwelling Residential (RM-12-D) zoning designation and the Medium Density Residential General Plan land use designation and will remain consistent with the surrounding uses.
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Class 32 - In-Fill Development Projects.
The Engineering Division has received the bonds and improvement securities for the required offsite improvements, including street, sewer, and water, in order to ensure completion of these public improvements according to City policy. Prior to recordation, the findings must be made as follows:
• The project will not violate any of the provisions of Section 66474, 66474.1, and 66474.6 of the Subdivision Map Act.
• The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design an improvement, is consistent with the General Plan required by Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of the Government Code or any specific plan adopted, pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with section 65450) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of the Government Code. The development of the property, in the manner set forth on the subject division of land, would not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of any public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within the subject division of land, pursuant to Sections 66436 (a) 3A (I-VIII) of the Subdivision Map Act.
The Tract Map has been reviewed by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and City staff, and the City received a letter dated January 25, 2023 from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works recommending approval of the Final Map. Per CMC 9204.3, Staff has confirmed the Tract Map conforms to the approved tentative map and to the requirements and conditions contained on the report approving the tentative map.
