Project Summary
A request for a condominium conversion and tentative parcel map for an existing
duplex to be converted into a two-unit residential condominium. The existing duplex
was constructed in 2011 per condominium standards; however, a tentative parcel
map was never recorded and the building permit was finalized as a duplex. The
condominium conversion and the tentative parcel map will allow each unit to be sold
individually. No waivers of Title 19 (Subdivisions) are proposed. A coastal
development permit (CDP) is required because this property is in the Coastal Zone.
