SUBMITTED BY: Planning D irector((z.,/ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
On July 16, 1984, the City Council accepted the report on the land development
process in the City of Chula Vista. The report recommended several changes to
help improve or expedite the development process. One such change was to
allow the Planning Commission to approve tentative maps for one-lot
condominiums which is the subject of the report.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council concur with Planning Commission recommendation.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On September 12, 1984, the Planning
Commission unanimously (one absent) recommended that Council enact an
ordinance amending Title 18 (Subdivision Ordinance) in accordance with
Resolution PCA-84-6 allowing for Planning Commission approval of tentative
maps for one-lot condominium projects.
DISCUSSION:
At the present time, the Subdivision Ordinance (Title 18 of the Municipal
Code) places the authority to approve, conditionally or disapprove all
tentative subdivision maps with the City Council. The State Map Act allows
this authority to be vested with either the advisory agency or the legislative
body. Therefore, the present Code regulations are by choice and not required
by the State.
Tentative maps for condominiums are primarily for the purpose of selling
individual units within multiple family projects which have previously
received or are in the process of receiving site plan and architectural
approval and meet the requirements of City for condominiums regarding storage
and private open space. Having met these requirements, the tentative map
becomes a technical formality.

Since tentative maps for one-lot condominium projects are relatively simple,
. review by both the Planning Commission and City Council is not necessary. The
Planning Commission is recommending that the authority to act upon these maps
be vested with the Planning Commission with appropriate appeals to the City
Council. This change will save approximately three to four weeks on the map
processing time for developers and is consistent with Council direction and
discussion which took place at the July 16, 1984, workshop.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
