City Council Agenda Item Report
BACKGROUND:
On April 25, 2007, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2007-P009
(Attachment No. 1), conditionally approving Site Plan Review, SPR P-2007028 and
Tentative Tract Map, TTM P-2007029 for the construction of five condominium units
at 3862 Huron Avenue.
The site is located within a residential neighborhood north of Washington Boulevard,
south of Venice Boulevard, and east of Sepulveda Boulevard. The lot is 7,500
square feet in area, measuring 50’ by 150’ and is zoned Medium Density Multiple-
Family Residential (RMD). The site’s General Plan designation is Medium Density
Multiple Family. It is currently developed with a single-family dwelling and detached
garage.
The applicant is proposing a tentative tract map to subdivide the property for five
condominium units. Each unit will have three bedrooms, two semi-subterranean
parking spaces, individual laundry facilities, private lockable storage space, and
private open space in balconies, patios or private yards. The development will meet
all Zoning Code requirements for the RMD Zone. Please refer to the April 25, 2007
Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 5) for more detailed project
information.
DISCUSSION:
The State Subdivision Map Act and Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Chapter
15.10, regulate the subdivision of land. Among numerous objectives, the tract map
process allows the City to review the proposed subdivision to ensure necessary
improvements and dedications for streets and parkland requirements are provided.
The process also ensures the reservation of required easements and assures those
easements are maintained. The Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department has reviewed the proposed subdivision and found it to be in compliance
with State and local regulations.
Findings
The Planning Commission has conditionally approved and recommends that the City
Council approve the tentative tract map based on the findings pursuant to CCMC
Section 15.10.265 Findings, as outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No.
2007-P009 and proposed Resolution No. 2007-R___ (Attachment No. 7).
City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, this project
is a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Attachment No. 6) as an “Infill Development”
project. The project consists of construction of five residential units and their
subdivision into condominiums. It is consistent with the General Plan and zoning
designations and standards. The development occurs on a 7,500 square foot
property, substantially surrounded by one and two-story single and multiple-family
residential and other urban uses. The property has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species, in that it is currently developed with a
single-family dwelling and a detached garage. The scope and size of the project will
not result in significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, water, or air quality.
Finally, all the public utilities and services are available to the subject property, in
that it is currently developed with a residential structure.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The development of this property consists of the creation of five new dwelling units,
which triggers the requirement for Art in Public Places per CCMC Section 15.06.115.
The applicant has agreed to contribute 1% of the total building valuation to the Art in
Public Places Fund. The project is currently estimated to have a value of $600,000.
In addition, the applicant will contribute an In-Lieu Parkland fee pursuant to CCMC
Section 15.10.755. Both of these fees must be paid prior to certificate of occupancy.
Development of the site into five separate condominiums units will result in an
increase in property tax for the City.

Planning Commission Agenda Item Report
BACKGROUND:
Request
On February 23, 2007,
an application was submitted for a Site Plan Review and
Tentative Tract
Map to allow the demolition of a single family dwelling with a
detached garage and the construction of five residential condominiums at 3862
Huron Avenue in the Medium Density Multiple -Family Residential (RMD) Zone.
General Information
See Attachment No. 1, Project Summary.
Project Data
The proposed project will result in five condominium units located in one
structure.
The proposed building will be two stories and 27 feet, 6.5 inches tall.
The units will vary in size from 1,545 square feet to 1,848 square feet. They will
all consist of three bedrooms and each has two covered parking spaces, which
will
be provided in semi-subterranean parking.
Each unit will have individual
laundry facilities, private lockable storage space, and private open space in
balconies or private yards. The project provides a 15-foot front setback, a five-
foot side yard setback, and a 10-foot rear setback.
Existing Conditions
The site is located south of Venice Boulevard, north of Washington Boulevard,
and on the east side of Huron Avenue (See Attachment No. 2). The immediate
area surrounding the subject site is residential, with a mixture of single and
multiple-family uses. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates this
area as Medium Density Multiple Family. The site is approximately 7,500 square
feet in size measuring 50 feet x 150 feet which presently consists of a single
family dwelling and a detached garage.
ANALYSIS:
1. SITE PLAN REVIEW
Architectural Design
The proposed
building has a stucco exterior, lightweight concrete roof tile, large
Page 2 of 5
161City of Culver City, California
Planning Commission Agenda Item Report
foyers for each unit, and decorative trim around windows. Balconies and bay
windows enhance the building facade. Overall, the design of the structure is
compatible with other multiple-family dwellings in the neighborhood. The building
height and massing is consistent with the zoning standards of the RMD zone. A
colored rendering and material sample for the building will be available at the
public meeting.
Landscaping
The applicant is proposing to landscape a substantial portion of the site, including
the front, side, and rear setbacks. The proposed landscaping will complement
the buildings onsite and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the development
site. A preliminary landscape plan was included in the packet delivered to the
Commission. Complete landscape and irrigation plans will be submitted to the
Planning Division for review during the plan check process.
Traffic, Circulation, and Parking
A 10-foot 6-inch wide driveway running parallel to the south property line will
provide access to the semi-subterranean parking. The back-up distance
provided is 27-feet which allow adequate space for vehicles to turn around and
exit the site head-first.
The City Zoning code states that two parking spaces must be provided for each
three-bedroom unit . A guest parking space is required bringing the total number
of required and proposed parking spaces to eleven.
The overall parking design allows for adequate circulation and the size of the
overall development will not create any significant traffic impacts and as such
does not require a traffic study.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The proposed development occurs on Huron Avenue which is a local residential
street consisting of single, two, and multiple-family residential properties. The
adjacent properties are one and two-story multiple-family residential. Therefore,
the proposed building is consistent and compatible with the uses in the
immediate neighborhood.

2')City of Culver City, California
Planning Commission Agenda Item Report
2. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP
The State Subdivision Map Act and CCMC Chapter 15.10, regulate the
subdivision of land. Among numerous objectives, the tentative map process
allows the City to review the proposed condominium subdivision to ensure all
necessary improvements and requirements are provided. The Public Works
Department has reviewed the proposed condominium subdivision and found it to
be in compliance with State and local regulations.
DISCUSSION:
Comments Received During Public Comment Period
As of the writing of this report staff has received no public comments on this
project.
Legal Standard for Decision/Project Findings
CCMC Title 17, Zoning, Section 17.540.020, requires certain findings must be
made before an application for a Site Plan Review can be approved.
Additionally, CCMC Title 15, Section 15.10.630, lists the finding required to be
made by the Planning Commission before a Tentative Tract Map application can
be recommended to the City Council for approval.
Staff believes the findings for Site Plan Review, SPR P-2007028 and Tentative
Tract Map, TTM P-2007029, can be made as outlined in proposed Resolution
No. 2007-P009 (Attachment No. 5).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, this
project is a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Attachment No. 4) as an "Infill
Development" project. The project consists of construction of five residential
units and their subdivision into condominiums. It is consistent with the General
Plan and zoning designations and standards. The development occurs on a
7,500 square foot property, substantially surrounded by one and two-story single
and multiple-family residential and other urban uses. The property has no value
as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, in that it is currently
developed with a single-family dwelling and a detached garage. The scope and
size of the project will not result in significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise,
Page 4 of 5

Planning Commission Agenda Item Report
water, or air quality. Finally, all the public utilities and services are available to
the subject property, in that it is currently developed with a residential structure.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:
The following alternative actions may be considered by the Planning
Commission:
1. Approve the Site Plan Review application with the recommended conditions
of approval if the application is deemed to meet the required findings.
2. Approve the Site Plan Review application with additional or different
