DISCUSSION
The subject site is located on the northwest corner of Lakewood Blvd and Gallatin Road. The
site is a 2.6 acre irregular shaped parcel. On August 15, 2012, the Planning Commission
approved Tentative Tract Map No. 71957 (PLN-12-00100), thereby approving the subdivision of
the subject site into a 46-unit townhouse development. In addition to the Tentative Tract Map,
the City approved a Site Plan Review, Planned Unit Development, General Plan Amendment,
Zone Change, and Negative Declaration (see attached site plan for project layout). Specifically,
the units range in size from 1,464 square feet to 2,173 square feet and have been designed with a
Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style.
Municipal Code Section 9930 requires that the Planning Commission and City Council approve
the final map prior to it being recorded. Both the Public Works Department and Planning
Division have reviewed the final map and have determined that the map complies with the
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, the City’s Municipal Code, and the project approvals.
As such, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a minute action to
recommend the City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 71957.
