Full summary

The Bureau of Engineering is asking Council to approve the final tract map for a small-lot subdivision at 5841 West David Avenue, northwest of Washington Boulevard, in Council District 10. The project, owned by David Avenue Ventures, LLC, was originally approved in 2017 for up to 16 residential units under the City's Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance. The subdivision converts the property into individually sellable small lots, a mechanism commonly used to create attached or detached homes on a single parcel without the density restrictions of traditional condominiums. The tentative map was conditionally approved by the Deputy Advisory Agency on May 4, 2017, with environmental clearance issued through a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The subdivider has now satisfied all conditions of that approval: required public street improvements have been completed to the City Engineer's satisfaction, and fees including the Recreation and Parks Fee have been paid. The subdivider paid $9,064 to process the final map, and no additional City funds are required. Under California Government Code Section 66458, once Council receives the final map it must approve or disapprove it at its next regular meeting. If the map conforms to all conditions of the tentative approval and Council takes no action within the required timeframe, the map is deemed automatically approved. Upon Council approval, the final map is transmitted to the County Engineer for recording. The tentative map approval was set to expire May 3, 2026, but the subdivider filed the final map before that deadline, preserving the project's entitlements. The file was referred to Council on May 14, 2026, and is awaiting a Council vote.
