(District 5)
Levine Act: Yes
DISCUSSION
In accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.16, State of California Government Code Section 66458, and applicable local subdivision ordinances and subsequent rulings, a final subdivision map conforming to State Subdivision Map Act requirements shall be approved by the City Council. The subdivider, Douglas Park Associates IV, LLC, provided a map to subdivide for the construction of eight light industrial tilt-up buildings ranging in size from 38,000 square-feet to 188,000 square feet, totaling 947,084 square feet, located at 3855 Lakewood Boulevard in Subarea 8B of the Douglas Park South Planned Development District.
The Public Works Department submits the duly certified final Tract Map No. 61252-3 (Attachment A), which is in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative map approved by the City Planning Commission and finalized on October 7, 2004 (Attachment B), and requests approval of Tract Map No. 61252-3 for this development.
Subdivision agreements providing for this development’s offsite improvements are secured in the Douglas Park Development Agreement, which was originally established by the Mc Donnell Douglas Corporation and includes Tract No.’s 61252-1, and 61252-2 (Attachment C), which was approved by City Council on December 14, 2004 (Attachment D). Survey monumentation Bonds and Agreements have been prepared specific for this site to secure the monumentation requirements. The Public Works Department requests the City Council authorization to execute the subdivision agreements.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, projects within PD-32 were previously analyzed as part of the previously certified PacifiCenter Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) Addendum (State Clearinghouse No. 2001051048). The proposed project falls within the total square-feet and anticipated levels of development and thus no additional environmental review is required for Tract Map 61252-3. See Planning Commission Staff Report dated March 17, 2022 (Attachment E).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Vanessa S. Ibarra on August 30, 2023 and by Budget Management Officer Nader Kaamoush on August 31, 2023.
