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, a Delaware limited liability company, 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 (Attachment A). The Public Works Department (Public Works) has submitted a duly certified final map of Tract No. 82115 (Attachment A), which is in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative map approved by the Planning Commission on October 15, 2018 (Attachment B), and requests approval of final map for Tract No. 82115.
Subdivision agreements providing for the off-site improvements, conditioned on this Project, have been prepared. Public Works requests the City Council authorization to execute the subdivision agreements.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Downtown Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2009071006) was prepared for this project, and Planning Commission Staff Report dated October 4, 2018 is attached (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on December 6, 2021 and by Budget Operations and Development Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on December 7, 2021.
