Approval would mean the council approves Final Tract Map No. 83816 and determines that the 10-unit condominium project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council vote was still pending before its November 3 meeting.
What the city is deciding
The council is considering whether to approve the final tract map and the environmental exemption. The Planning Commission approved the tentative map on November 16, 2022, for a 10-unit residential condominium development on a flag lot, meaning a lot with no direct street frontage. City staff says the final map is in conformance with that earlier approval. The developer has paid all required fees and satisfied the conditions needed for the map to be recorded, and the report lists no city funding requirement.
Where and who it affects
The development site is near the southwest corner of Hawthorne Boulevard and 226th Street. It is south of 3828 226th Street, surrounded by privately owned properties, and does not directly touch a public street.
The map covers 10 condominium units. Access depends on an easement granted by the owner of 3828 226th Street. The easement covers driveway access, a pedestrian walkway, water and sewer lines, drainage, lighting, gates, utilities, video cameras, maintenance, and related purposes.
What it could mean for your property
The easement and maintenance agreement was recorded on April 16, 2026. That agreement directly involves the development property and the property at 3828 226th Street.
The city says all required physical improvements connected with the planning case must be completed before occupancy. The report does not provide a construction schedule or say whether construction has started.
City staff also concludes that the project will not create serious public health problems or specified nuisances involving noise, smoke, odors, dust, vibration, contamination, fire, unusual traffic, or large gatherings. The report does not state sale prices, association terms, or fee amounts.
Questions to ask before you buy or build
- Is the property covered by the recorded easement and maintenance agreement?
- What maintenance obligations apply to the driveway, utilities, gates, and other shared facilities?
- Which required physical improvements must be finished before occupancy?
- What association terms and fees apply to the condominium?
What happens next
The City Council acts on the final map and environmental exemption on November 3, 2026. The tentative map approval expires November 16, 2026, but the final map was submitted before that date. The city report does not describe what follows recordation.
