TITLE
Recommendation to find that all requirements of the final subdivision map to subdivide a 93,045 square-foot lot for the construction of a new shopping center located at 6600 Atlantic Avenue have been satisfied; approve final map for Parcel No. 82403; authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute subdivision agreements, and a maintenance agreement for alley purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-18-216. (District 9)
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 developer, Atlantic and Artesia, LLC (Developer), requests to subdivide a 93,045 square-foot parcel located at 6600 Atlantic Avenue to construct a shopping center comprised of six buildings with drive-throughs proposed for two restaurants and a bank (Project) (Attachment A). The Project received approval prior to adoption of the Ordinance by the City Council imposing a moratorium on drive-through lanes in the City of Long Beach at its meeting on May 7, 2019.
The Developer has submitted a duly certified final map of Parcel No. 82403 in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative map approved by the Planning Commission on December 20, 2018 (Attachments B, C).
Subdivision agreements providing for the off-site improvements, conditioned on this Project, have been prepared. In addition, a maintenance agreement was prepared to provide for the shopping center owners to maintain the asphalt pavement, landscaping, and new lighting proposed for the unnamed public alley on the north side of the Project site. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Categorical Exemption CE-18-216 was issued for the Project.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on November 19, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on November 20, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on December 17, 2019, to allow the developer to complete the tract development.
FISCAL IMPACT
A subdivision processing fee of $4,130 was deposited in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council Priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
