RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY APPROVING THE FINAL SUBDIVISION
MAP OF TRACT MAP NO. 64754 (7714, 7722 AND 7724 STEWART & GRAY ROAD) BY APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SUBDIVIDER AND ACCEPTING A SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE BOND AS SURETY.
DISCUSSION:
The California Subdivision Map Act requires that a tentative and final Map be prepared for any subdivision creating five or more residential lots (e.g. condominiums). Tract Map No.
64754 combines two lots into a 32,346 square-foot (sf) lot for the purpose of constructing a 12-unit condominium complex (Formerly three single family residences). The subject property
is located at 7714, 7722 and 7724 Stewart & Gray Road, west of Rives Avenue (See Exhibit “A”). The property is presently zoned R-3-O (Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential Ownership).
In its immediate vicinity, there presently exist single family residences.
Section 9114.02 of the Downey Municipal Code (DMC) states “The R-3 Zone is intended to provide for the development
of medium density multiple-family residential living areas compatible with the neighborhood environment and outdoor recreation potential of the community. Such areas are envisioned
as being so located and designed to be complementary to adjacent activities at the same time provide suitable space for those who prefer and/or need multiple-family living quarters.”
The
City has reviewed the project application and made the necessary recommendations for consideration by the Planning Commission. On July 19, 2006, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 2449 and approved Tentative Tract Map No. 64754 to combine two lots into one lot for the purpose of developing a 12-unit condominium complex, after hearing testimonies made by those
present. Resolution No. 2449 also contained the necessary public works and safety improvements as conditions of approval; the improvements generally include installation of street lights,
parkway trees, sidewalk, fire hydrant, etc.

At the same meeting, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 2450 approving Zone Variance No. 05-129 to Section 9140 and 9115 of the Downey Municipal
Code for variable height requirements and encroachment into the required rear yard setback area for the properties located at 7714, 7722 and 7724 Stewart & Gray Road.
On February 21,
2007, the Planning Commission reviewed the final map and recommended that the City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 64754. Attached is a resolution approving the final subdivision
map, an agreement for construction of subdivision improvements, a vicinity map, a copy of the subdivision improvement performance bond, a covenant and agreement regarding on site storm
water retention, a cost estimate of said improvements, together with a copy of the tract map showing the area which is being subdivided under Tract Map No. 64754.
The final map has
been checked and found to be technically correct, in conformance with the tentative subdivision map, and in compliance with local codes and requirements. The developer has executed
the attached agreement and provided surety to guarantee the construction of the required off-site improvements (e.g. streetlights, street trees, sidewalk, fire hydrant, etc.). In a
minute action, on February 21, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve Final Tract Map No. 64754.
