BACKGROUND
The Final Tract Map for Tract No. 78220, a location map of which is attached hereto, has been
reviewed by staff and found to be in substantial conformance with the principles and standards
required by the Unified Development Code and State Subdivision Map Act. Tentative Tract Map
No. 78220 was approved by the Planning Commission on August 21, 2018, to allow for the
subdivision of one parcel into three lots and the division of airspace of an approved mixed use
project (Newhall Crossings) to create 47 residential condominium units and 13 commercial
condominium units. The Final Tract Map consists of a subdivision of 0.86 acres located on the
southeast corner of Lyons Avenue and Main Street.
A portion of the alley easement for public use was previously vacated by the Los Angeles
County Board of Supervisors and recorded on May 14, 1946, in Book 382, Page 23158 of the
official records. The previously vacated portion and the remaining portion of the alley easement
are shown on the attached location map. The remaining portion of the alley easement for public
use was determined to be unnecessary due to the reconfiguration of the site and construction of
the mixed -use project (Newhall Crossings); therefore, the remaining portion of the alley
easement is to be vacated.
The Final Tract Map was reviewed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the City Surveyor
and found to be in substantial conformance with the previously approved Tentative Tract Map.
The conditions of approval established by the City were met and fees have been and/or will be
paid as indicated on the attached Fact Sheet. Therefore, the Final Tract Map and abandonment of
the alley easement are ready for City Council approval.
Pursuant to Section 66474.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, a legislative body shall not deny
approval of a final or parcel map if it was previously approved as a tentative map for the
proposed subdivision and if it finds the final or parcel map is in substantial compliance with the
previously approved tentative map.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Staff has not identified alternative actions that would conform to requirements set forth in the
Subdivision Map Act.
