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, Anaheim & Walnut Housing, LP, requests to subdivide the 1.54-acre parcel located at 1500 East Anaheim Street (Attachment A) to construct a five-story apartment building with ground floor commercial space for a medical clinic (Project). The Public Works Department has submitted a duly certified final map of Tract No. 82260, which is in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative map approved by the Planning Commission on July 18, 2019 (Attachment B), and requests approval of final map for Tract No. 82260.

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, Mitigated Negative Declaration MND-05-18 (State Clearinghouse No. 2019059114), was prepared for this Project, see Planning Commission Staff Report dated July 18, 2019. (Attachment B).
