DISCUSSION
In accordance with Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) 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 is required to be approved by the City Council. The developer, Long Beach Promenade Apartments, LLC, requests to subdivide to construct a mixed-use development containing a 189-unit residential building, with 10,000 square feet of retail/flex space, located at 127-135 East Broadway.
The Public Works Department has submitted a duly certified final tract map of Tract Map No. 82115 (Attachment A), which is in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative tract map approved by the Planning Commission on October 4, 2018 (Attachment B), and requests approval of final map for Tract Map No. 82115.
Subdivision agreements providing for the off-site improvements, conditioned on this Project, have been prepared. The Department of Public Works requests the City Council authorization to execute the subdivision agreements.
