SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for Condominium Purposes (Tract 8461) to create a 40-unit townhouse-style condominium subdivision with a private street on a vacant 1.66-acre site at 21339-21447 Oak Street. In 2019, the Planning Commission and Council, on appeal, approved a corresponding Site Plan Review application for the same 40-unit development. Prior to construction of the project, the owner is proposing to subdivide the development in order to be able to sell each of the units individually, and this requires approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map for Condominium Purposes. The proposed subdivision would feature a single parcel with each condominium owner owning the airspace within their individual unit and an equal share of the common areas and improvements within the development, which would be maintained by a Homeowners Association. To comply with the requirements of the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO), the owner has committed to paying the applicable in-lieu fees for the project. The in-lieu fees will be required to be paid either prior to issuance of building permits or prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each unit.
