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. /3 Page 2, Item -5751- 12 .30 Meeting Date= --/o-1 J fL 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.
