PROJECT ANALYSIS

Project Summary

The proposed project is a City initiated ordinance to update the zoning for private properties located at 4500 N Woodman Avenue and 4464, 4465, 4469, 4470, and 4471 N Ventura Canyon Avenue. The proposed action is to update the zone from R1-1-RIO to R3-1-RIO. No physical construction or change of use is proposed.

This proposed zone change is initiated to reflect the current multi-family use of the property known as "The Plaza at Sherman Oaks.” The subject property is improved with a multi-family apartment complex built in 1969, but was incorrectly omitted from City Initiated zone changes in 1989 to implement AB 283. The proposed zone change will make the parcel zoning consistent with the current use of the parcels and adjacent residential uses. This zone change has been initiated in order to maintain consistency with the improvement of the project site and adjacent parcels.

The proposed zone change would apply to the portions of the parcels highlighted on the map below (Figure 1) that are currently zoned R1-1-RIO. Figure 2 shows the existing General Plan Land Use designations of the project site and surrounding properties.

Background

The subject site is a set of privately owned parcels improved with a multi-family apartment complex, located at 4500 N Woodman Avenue and 4464, 4465, 4469, 4470, and 4471 N Ventura Canyon Avenue in the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan area in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood. The proposed zone change is for an area that measures 2.59 acres of property that has a total area of 5.22 acres, and is located on the east side of Woodman Avenue between Los Angeles River to the north and Moorpark Street to the south.

The site is bordered by multi-family uses to the south and west and, the Los Angeles River immediately to the north and east. Across the river, to the north and east of the property is a single-family residential community. Figure 1 illustrates the existing zoning for the subject site as well as surrounding parcels. The abutting residential parcels of the site are developed with apartments and condominiums of five or more units.

CPC-2017-1616-ZC A-2

Site History

As noted above, the subject property has been improved with a multi-family apartment complex built in 1969. The existing apartment complex was approved in 1968 through a variance, ZA-19347, which stated that a zone change for these lots from R1 to R3 would be appropriate to bring them into conformance with the Land Use designation as well as the surrounding development. At the time, the portions of the apartment complex that are currently zoned R3-1-RIO, fronting on Woodman Avenue, were zoned R4-1. The portions that are currently zoned R1-1-RIO were zoned R1-1. The one lot in the east-central portion of the complex that is currently zoned R3-1-RIO and did not border on Woodman Avenue was zoned R3-1. The decision letter for ZA-19347 indicates that the expectation was that the R1-1 portions of the site would later be changed to R3-1. The conclusion of the findings for ZA-19347 states, in part:

"The central issue related to this application is whether it is appropriate to extend the multiple developments into areas zoned for single-family. On the basis of the zoning pattern in the area, the R1 portion of the property would appear no longer feasible for continued single-family developments, but ultimately would be classified for higher residential density... perhaps it would be more appropriate for the legislative body to consider this matter through a zone change so that other R1 lots fronting on Ventura Canyon Avenue may also be included for higher residential density. A zone change would complete the zoning pattern in this area."

Nevertheless, a zone change was never initiated for the apartment complex until 1985, when case CPC-1985-657-GPC was initiated to bring zoning across the community plan into consistency with the General Plan. Preliminary maps for the case, as approved by the City Planning Commission, included the entire apartment complex within the boundaries of Subarea 112 of the consistency case, changing areas zoned R1-1 and R4-1 to R3-1. The map and text approved by the City Council, excluded the portions of the apartment complex zoned R1-1, and only changed the portions zoned R4-1 along Woodman Avenue to R3-1. (Exhibit C - Ordinance 164,341) The reasons for exclusion of the R1-1 area from the AB-283 are not known, and research into the case files and history of the site did not provide any particular insight into why the entire site was not changed to the R3-1 zone.

The existing multi-family apartment complex on the subject parcels still exists today. There are no plans to use the subject property for single-family purposes, nor would such a use be desirable today. This City initiated action would make the zoning for the parcels consistent with the residential use of the subject parcels and with the zoning of surrounding residential parcels.

Summary of Major Legislative Actions for the Subject Site

August 1, 1968: Associate Zoning Administrator granted a Variance (ZA-19347) which stated that a zone change for these lots from R1 to R3 would be appropriate to bring them into line both with the Land Use designation and the existing and surrounding development. Additionally, adjacent R1 lots, including the properties along Ventura Canyon Avenue, have been authorized for a rezoning to R3 under CPC No. 13269.

City Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary map for the zone and height district change and maps (CPC-1985-657-GPC) to bring zoning across the community plan into consistency with the General Plan, to implement AB283. The

December 11, 1985

CPC-2017-1616-ZC A-3

subject properties are indicated in a subarea 112 being rezoned from R1-1 and R4-1 to R3-1.

City council adopts the Plan Amendment Resolution, certifies the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), approves the zone changes and instructs the Planning Department to prepare a final ordinance, as part of the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake GPC Program.

August 12, 1987

City Council adopts Ordinance (Ordinance-164,341) as part of the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake GPC Program, which changed the zones from R1-1 and R4-1 to R3-1, to bring zoning across the community plan into consistency with the General Plan. However, City Council reduced the boundaries of Subarea 112 to specifically exclude the portions of the apartment complex zoned R1-1, and only change the portions zoned R4-1 along Woodman Avenue to R3-1. (The reasons for exclusion of the R1-1 area from the AB-283 are not known, and research into the case files and history of the site did not provide any particular insight into why the boundaries of Subarea 112 were changed.)

January 11, 1989:

Ordinance Nos. 183144 and 183145 authorize the establishment of the Los Angeles River Improvement Overlay District and amendment of the zoning map to include the suffix "RIO” on the zone classification.

July 2, 2014:

Conclusion

The Department recommends that the zoning for the subject site be changed from R1-1-RIO to R3-1-RIO to make them consistent with the zoning of the entire project area and surrounding residential parcels. The proposed zone change is also requested in order to allow the continued multi-family residential uses of the subject properties, as was originally intended when the site was developed. In addition, the proposed zone change will ensure compatibility of the site with the Medium Residential Land Use designation, the existing residential use, and with the surrounding residential neighborhood.

FINDINGS

General Plan/Charter Findings

1. General Plan Findings

a. Framework Element

The General Plan guides the growth and development of the City and provides a comprehensive view of the City of Los Angeles as a whole. Per City Charter Section 555, and General Plan Framework Element Policy 3.1.5, amendments to community plans are allowed to further refine land use boundaries and categories to reflect local conditions, existing land uses, parcel characteristics, and public input. The proposed zone change modifies the zoning on the subject parcels from R1-1-RIO to R3-1-RIO. The proposed changes are a reflection of the intent of the Community Plan land use designation, the development of the existing property, and the use and zone of the surrounding residential area.

The subject properties are developed with a multi-family apartment complex originally approved in 1969. The R1-1-RIO zone is not consistent with the land use designation and zoning of the surrounding residential areas and is not appropriate for the current and historic uses of the properties. Immediately to the northeast of the properties is the Los Angeles River concrete-lined flood control channel, to the west, south, and east are multi-family residential uses. The proposed R3-1-RIO zone will bring the zoning of the subject properties into consistency with the land use designation and the surrounding residential context, and allow for the existing permitted uses. Should the properties be redeveloped, the proposed R3-1-RIO will ensure compatibility with the existing scale and character of the surrounding residential neighborhood.

The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan Framework Element’s policies that seek to retain multifamily residential uses with an emphasis on respecting surrounding context, as follows:

Policy 3.2.4 Provide for the siting and design of new development that maintains the prevailing scale and character of the City’s stable residential neighborhoods and enhance the character of commercial and industrial districts.

Policy 3.7.1 Accommodate the development of multi-family residential units in areas designated in the community plans in accordance with Table 3-1 and Zoning Ordinance densities indicated in Table 3-3, with the density permitted for each parcel to be identified in the community plans.

The proposed zone, R3-1-RIO would be consistent with the multi-family use that exists on the site, and would limit future development of the subject properties to medium density residential uses assuring compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The neighboring properties are similarly improved with multi-family residential uses. The proposed zone change would ensure consistency with the land use designation of the subject property and surrounding residential properties as identified in the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan.

The proposed zone change would ensure that the existing multi-family residential uses on the subject properties, and the character of the surrounding residential neighborhood, would be preserved in accordance with Policy 3.4.1, as follows:

CPC-2017-1616-ZC F-2

Policy 3.4.1 Conserve existing stable residential neighborhoods and lower- intensity commercial districts and encourage the majority of new commercial and mixed-use (integrated commercial and residential) development to be located (a) in a network of neighborhood districts, community, regional, and downtown centers, (b) in proximity to rail and bus transit stations and corridors, and (c) along the City's major boulevards, referred to as districts, centers, and mixed-use boulevards, in accordance with the Framework Long-Range Land Use Diagram (Figure 3-1 and 3-2). (P1, P2, P18).

The subject properties have been improved with residential uses since 1969. The proposed zone would preserve the historic uses of the properties and would maintain the character of the surrounding stable residential neighborhood.

Los Angeles City Charter Section 556 requires that findings be made. The proposed zone change complies with Charter Sections 556 in that the recommended zone change do reflect the land use patterns, trends, and uses in the immediate area and do further the intent, purposes, and objectives of the City’s General Plan, specifically the Framework Element and the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan.

b. Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan

The Land Use Element of the General Plan of the City of Los Angeles is comprised of 35 Community Plans. These plans regulate how land is utilized and developed. Community Plans are intended to promote an arrangement of land uses, streets, and services that encourage and contribute to the economic, social and physical health, safety, welfare, and convenience of the people who live and work in the community.

The subject properties are located in the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake- Cahuenga Pass Community Plan, in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood. To the north, the site is bound with the Los Angeles River. To the west, south and east, the surrounding areas are developed with multi-family residential structures approved in the early 20th and 21st centuries.

The proposed zone will ensure that any future development is compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood and will bring the zoning of the property into consistency with the land use designation and zoning of the surrounding residential area.

The subject properties are privately owned and have been legally operating with residential uses. Changing the zoning to match the current legally permitted residential use is consistent with the following policies and objectives described in the Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan:

Objective 1-3: To preserve and enhance the varied and distinct residential character and integrity of existing single and multi-family neighborhoods.

The proposed changes would allow the owner to maintain and enhance the existing multi-family complex on the property, thereby helping to preserve the residential character of the existing neighborhood. The proposed zone change will ensure that any future development is compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood and will bring the zoning and land use designation of the properties into consistency with the land use designation as well as the zoning of the surrounding residential area.

CPC-2017-1616-ZC F-3

Legislative Action Findings

2. City Charter Sections 558 and LAMC Section 12.32(c)(7). Los Angeles City Charter Section 558 and Section 12.32(c)(7) of the LAMC require that prior to adopting a land use ordinance, the City Council make findings that the ordinance conforms with public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice.

a. Public Necessity.

Granting the requested legislative action, as recommended, will be deemed consistent with public necessity. The current zoning is R1-1-RIO (One-Family Residential). The R1- 1-RIO zone category is applied to properties that are planned for single-family. The existing residential uses on the subject properties are not allowed in R1-1-RIO, the properties are not planned for single-family use, and the R1-1-RIO zoning was applied in error (see previous discussion). The proposed legislative action ensures compatibility with the existing legally permitted use on the site and with adjacent residential parcels that are currently zoned R3-1-RIO and designated Medium Residential. It also ensures that the proper regulatory zoning is in place to allow maintenance and improvements on the existing structure and for compatible development in the future

b. Convenience.

Granting the requested legislative action, as recommended, will be deemed consistent with public convenience. The proposed zone change contributes to the preservation of neighborhood character and the stability of an existing medium density residential neighborhood. The legislative action is consistent with the zoning of adjacent residential properties and would allow the current legally permitted residential use of the subject properties.

c. General Welfare.

Granting the requested legislative action, as recommended, will be deemed consistent with the general welfare, in that the proposed zone change would preserve medium density multifamily residential uses that are compatible and consistent with the land use designation and zoning of adjacent parcels with residential uses.

d. Good Zoning Practice.

Granting the requested legislative action, as recommended, will be deemed consistent with good zoning practice. Currently, the R1-1-RIO zone is not consistent with the land use designation and zoning of the subject property and surrounding residential properties. The proposed zone change would allow the existing legally permitted residential uses on the subject properties to continue. It would preserve the zoning intention to implement the community plan’s goals to protect and conserve existing medium density residential areas.

Based on these findings, the recommended action is deemed consistent with the public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice.

CPC-2017-1616-ZC F-4

CEQA Findings

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2, an Exemption from CEQA (a) Cumulative Impacts; (b) Significant Effect; (c) Scenic Highways; (d) Hazardous Waste Sites; and (e) Historical Resources, and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 applies. The Class 32 Categorical Exemption was published on Los Angeles Daily Journal on November 1, 2017.The project is characterized as an infill development meeting the following five condition:

The Project Site is 5 acres or less;The Project is consistent with the General Plan (i.e. Community Plan) and zoning requirements, and no Zone Changes, Zone Variances or Specific Plan Exceptions are required;The Project Site is not located on any hazardous waste site list;The Project is not demolishing a historical resource; andIt is not readily apparent the Project will create a significant impact to the environment.

As stated in the mandatory findings of significance in the Class 32 Categorical Exemption, the Department of City Planning concludes the following:

There is not a succession of known projects of the same type and in the same place as the subject project. As mentioned, the project proposes a correction initiated by the City that will make the zoning consistent with the land use designation and current residential use of the subject area in an area zoned and designated for such development. All adjacent lots are developed with multi-family residential and concrete-lined flood control channel, and the subject site is of a similar size and slope to nearby properties.

a.

b. The project proposes no change to the 3:1 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). It is not unusual for the vicinity of the subject site, and is similar in scope to other existing Medium Residential in the area. Thus, there are no unusual circumstances which may lead to a significant effect on the environment.

Additionally, the only State Scenic Highway within the City of Los Angeles is the Topanga Canyon State Scenic Highway, State Route 27, which travels through a portion of Topanga State Park. Subject site is located about 10 miles east of the Topanga Canyon State Scenic Highway, State Route 27. Therefore the subject site will not create any impacts within a designated as a state scenic highway.

c.

Furthermore, according to Envirostor, the State of California’s database of Hazardous Waste Sites, neither the subject site, nor any site in the vicinity, is identified as a hazardous waste site.

d.

The project site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state agencies, and the project site has not been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments Register, and/or any local register; and was not found to be a potential historic resource based on the City’s HistoricPlacesLA website or SurveyLA, the citywide survey of Los Angeles. Finally, the City does not choose to treat the site as a historic resource. Based on this, the project will not result in a substantial adverse change to the significance of a historic resource and this exception does not apply.

e.

The environmental case file can be found with the case file in the Policy Division of the Planning Department in Room 351, 6262 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys CA 91401.

JUSTIFICATION FOR PROJECT EXEMPTION CASE NO. ENV-2017-1617-CE

On October 10th, 2017, the Department of City Planning determined that the City of Los Angeles Guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 and the State CEQA Guidelines designate the subject project as Categorically Exempt under Article III, Section 1 and Class 32, Case No. ENV-2017-1617-CE.

A project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption if it is developed on an infill site and meets the following criteria:

(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations; The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses;The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; andThe site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

(b)

(c)(d)

(e)

The project is for the City-initiated ordinance to correct the zoning of private properties located at 4500 N Woodman Avenue and 4464, 4465, 4469, 4470, and 4471 N Ventura Canyon Avenue that were omitted from zone changes in 1989 to implement AB 283. At the time the zoning for these parcels was R1-1, though the land use designation was and remains Medium Residential, for which the corresponding zone would be R3. Later, in 2014, the River Improvement Overlay District was applied to the subject properties, changing the zone to R1-1-RIO. The proposed lots and neighboring lots are all part of an existing unified multi-family apartment complex, which was built in 1969. The complex covers several parcels, some of which are zoned R1-1-RIO and some of which are zoned R3-1-RIO. The use of the lots and parts of the structure are legally nonconforming under the current zoning.

The existing apartment complex was approved in 1968 through a variance, ZA-19347, which stated that a zone change for these lots from R1 to R3 would be appropriate to bring them into line both with the Land Use designation and the existing and surrounding development. At the time, the portions of the complex that are today zoned R3-1-RIO and front on Woodman Avenue were zoned R4-1. The portions that are today zoned R1-1-RIO were at the time zoned R1-1. The one lot in the east-central portion of the complex that is today zoned R3-1-RIO and did not border on Woodman Avenue was zoned R3-1. The decision letter for ZA-19347 indicates that the expectation was that the R1-1 portions of the site would later be changed to R3-1. Nevertheless, no zone change for the apartment complex was initiated until 1985, when case CPC-1985-657-

http://planning.lacity.org

ENV-2017-1617-CE October 10, 2017

GPC was initiated to bring zoning across the community plan into consistency with the General Plan, to implement AB-283. Preliminary maps for the case, as approved by the City Planning Commission, included the entire apartment complex within the boundaries of Subarea 112 of the consistency case, changing areas zoned R1-1 and R4-1 to R3-1. The map and text approved by the City Council, however, as Ordinance 164,341 and effective February 28, 1989, reduced the boundaries of Subarea 112 to specifically exclude the portions of the apartment complex zoned R1-1, and only change the portions zoned R4-1 along Woodman Avenue to R3-1. The reasons for exclusion of the R1-1 area from the AB-283 are not known, and research into the case files and history of the site did not provide any particular insight into why the boundaries of Subarea 112 were changed.

The proposed action includes changing the zone from R1-1-RIO to R3-1-RIO, consistent with the current use of the subject area and surrounding development and will make the structure conforming to the zoning. The proposed zone change does not include the demolition, remodel, construction, or alteration of existing structures. As the project is viewed as a correction by the City that will make the zoning consistent with the land use designation and current residential use of the subject area, and a project which is characterized as in-fill development, the project qualifies for the Class 32 Categorical Exemption.

The site is zoned R1-1-RIO and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Medium Residential. As shown in the case file, the project is consistent with the applicable Sherman Oaks-Studio City- Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass Community Plan designation and policies and all applicable zoning designations and regulations. The subject site is wholly within the City of Los Angeles, on a site that is approximately 2.59 acres. Lots adjacent to the subject site are developed with the following urban uses: multi-family residential and concrete-lined flood control channel. The site is previously disturbed and surrounded by development and therefore is not, and has no value as, a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project site has been already landscaped, and no tree removal is proposed. The project will be subject to Regulatory Compliance Measures (RCMs), which require compliance with the City of Los Angeles Noise Ordinance; pollutant discharge, dewatering, stormwater mitigations; and Best Management Practices for stormwater runoff. These RCMs will ensure the project will not have significant impacts on noise and water. Furthermore, the project does not exceed the threshold criteria established by LADOT for preparing a traffic study. Therefore, the project will not have any significant impacts to traffic. Interim thresholds were developed by DCP staff based on CalEEMod model runs relying on reasonable assumptions, consulting with AQMD staff, and surveying published air quality studies for which criteria air pollutants did not exceed the established SCAQMD construction and operational thresholds as no construction is proposed. The project site is adequately served by all public utilities and services given that the correction by the City that will make the zoning consistent with the land use designation will be on a site which has been previously developed and is consistent with the General Plan. Therefore, the project meets all of the Criteria for the Class 32 Categorical Exemption.

There are five (5) Exceptions which must be considered in order to find a project exempt under Class 32: (a) Cumulative Impacts; (b) Significant Effect; (c) Scenic Highways; (d) Hazardous Waste Sites; and (e) Historical Resources.

There is not a succession of known projects of the same type and in the same place as the subject project. As mentioned, the project proposes a correction initiated by the City that will make the zoning consistent with the land use designation and current residential use of the subject area in an area zoned and designated for such development. All adjacent lots are developed with multifamily residential and concrete-lined flood control channel, and the subject site is of a similar size and slope to nearby properties. The project proposes no change to the 3:1 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). It is not unusual for the vicinity of the subject site, and is similar in scope to other existing Medium Residential in the area. Thus, there are no unusual circumstances which may lead to a significant

ENV-2017-1617-CE October 10, 2017

effect on the environment. Additionally, the only State Scenic Highway within the City of Los Angeles is the Topanga Canyon State Scenic Highway, State Route 27, which travels through a portion of Topanga State Park. Subject site is located about 10 miles east of the Topanga Canyon State Scenic Highway, State Route 27. Therefore the subject site will not create any impacts within a designated as a state scenic highway. Furthermore, according to Envirostor, the State of California’s database of Hazardous Waste Sites, neither the subject site, nor any site in the vicinity, is identified as a hazardous waste site. The project site has not been identified as a historic resource by local or state agencies, and the project site has not been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments Register, and/or any local register; and was not found to be a potential historic resource based on the City’s HistoricPIacesLA website or SurveyLA, the citywide survey of Los Angeles. Finally, the City does not choose to treat the site as a historic resource. Based on this, the project will not result in a substantial adverse change to the significance of a historic resource and this exception does not apply.
