City’s engineering consulting firm, Willdan Engineering, Inc., has checked Final Map No. 74082

the requirements of the tentative map have been complied with. Similarly, the Applicant has
satisfied the Planning Division’s “Conditions of Approval” for a final map. The final map is ready for
the recommendation of final approval by the Planning Commission to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 9925 of the Downey Municipal Code states, “The Planning Commission and the City
Council shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a final map in accordance with
Chapter 3, Article 4 of the Subdivision Map Act” and Section 66458 of the Subdivision Map Act
says the legislative body shall approve a final map if it conforms with the Subdivision Map Act,
and any local subdivision ordinance and rulings thereafter. The City of Downey Engineering
Division has checked the map and certified its conformance to the tentative map. Therefore,
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a Minute Action forwarding this to the City
Council for approval of Final Tract Map No. 74082 (PLN-16-00018).
