GPA 18-02 TO AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTIES AT 100 AND 180 W. HUNTINGTON DRIVE FROM "COMMERCIAL WITH DOWNTOWN OVERLAY" TO "DOWNTOWN MIXED USE," REVISE THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP TO REFLECT THE CHANGES, AND ADOPT AN ADDENDUM TO THE 2014 AND 2016 MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIONS AND THE MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT WILL BE LOCATED UNDER THE SPECIFIC PLAN AT 130 W. HUNTINGTON DRIVE WHEREAS, local governments are authorized by Government Code Section 65350, et seq, to prepare, adopt and amend General Plans; and WHEREAS, the Arcadia Municipal Code provides that the adoption or amendment of any General Plan within the City shall be accomplished by resolution; and WHEREAS, on March 18, 2014, the City Council approved Seabiscuit Pacifica Specific Plan (SP-SP) for two new hotels (Marriott Residence and Fairfield Inn & Suites) with 210 rooms and a hotel condominium with 50 units, and the 2014 Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND") and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and WHEREAS, on December 6, 2016, the City Council approved an Amendment to the Seabiscuit Pacific Specific Plan and the 2016 MND that allowed the Phase 2 portion of the project to be developed as a mixed-use project instead of a hotel condominium, approved a General Plan Amendment from Commercial with a Downtown Overlay of 1 .03 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to Downtown Mixed Use with a 1 .0 FAR for this size, and a Zone Change and Amendment to the Zoning Map to reflect the approved changes; and WHEREAS, on June 7, 2018, applications were filed by Chateau Group, USA for Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 18-01, General Plan Amendment No. GPA 18-02, Zone Change No. ZC 18-02, Lot Line Adjustment No. LLA 18-02, and Protected Healthy Tree Removal No. TRH 18-10 to amend Phase 2 (mixed-use project) of the Seabiscuit Pacifica Specific Plan (SP-SP) and add two additional abutting properties at 100 and 180 W. Huntington Drive to the approved Specific Plan area at 130 W. Huntington Drive, hereafter individually and collectively referred to as the "Amended Project"; and WHEREAS, an Addendum to the 2014 and 2016 Mitigated Negative Declarations ("MNDs") and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was prepared for the Amended Project per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The major focus of the Addendum was to evaluate whether the changes in the Amended Project led to any changes in the previously identified environmental impacts. The Addendum concludes that the proposed changes do not constitute substantial project revisions and there are no substantial changes in the physical environment that require changes to the MNDs; and WHEREAS, on July 3, 2018, a duly noticed public hearing was held before the City Council on said Amended Project, including the Addendum to the 2014 and 2016 Mitigated Negative Declarations, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: 2 SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the associated Staff Report and Addendum to the MNDs are true and correct. SECTION 2. That the City Council finds that based upon the entire record, including all written and oral evidence presented, pursuant to the Arcadia Development Code, all of the following findings can be made. General Plan Amendment Findings: 1. The amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. Facts to Support the Finding: The amendment is to change the land use designations of the two properties at 100 and 180 W. Huntington Drive from Commercial to Downtown Mixed Use, and rezone the abutting properties to be consistent with the Specific Plan area, as approved under Ordinance No. 2355. This change will allow the property owner to merge the two properties into one parcel to accommodate a larger mixed-use project that is more appropriate for this site. The revised project continues to implement the General Plan's policies and goals for an orderly development that is supported by public infrastructure and services. The proposed development meets all applicable development standards, including not exceeding the height that is allowed through the Height Overlay of H8 (95 feet in height). 2. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City. 3 Facts to Support the Finding: The Addendum to the 2014 and 2016 Mitigated Negative Declarations for the Specific Plan and General Plan Amendments analyzed all the potential impacts, and the anticipated impacts from the amended project are less than significant or can be reduced to less than significant levels with the implementation of the existing mitigation measures. Therefore, the Amendment to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. Further, the larger mixed-use project and its revised architectural style will provide a superior development to this site and add to the vitality of the area. SECTION 3. Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the Development Services Department prepared an Addendum to the 2014 and 2016 MNDs. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, based on analysis presented in the Addendum, the Amended Project would not result in any new significant impacts. Additionally, it would not result in an substantial increase in severity of any previously identified significant impacts and no new mitigation measures would be required; therefore the Addendum will satisfy the CEQA requirements for the Amended Project, subject to the amended conditions of approval and mitigation measures attached hereto in Exhibit A. SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, the City Council approves General Plan Amendment No. GPA 18-02 to amend the General Plan land use designation for the properties at 100 and 180 W. Huntington Drive from "Commercial with Downtown Overlay" to "Downtown Mixed Use," review the General Plan Land Use Map to reflect the changes, and adopt an Addendum to the 2014 and 2016 Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Amended Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for all the properties that will be located under the approved Specific Plan area at 130 W. 4 Huntington Drive. This approval is a part of the entitlements that were approved under City Council Ordinance No. 2355 approving an Amendment to the Seabiscuit Pacifica Specific Plan (SP-SP) No. SPA 18-01 and Zone Change No. ZC No. 18-02.

The project cultural monitor shall observe the remaining earthmoving activities at the project site consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21083.2(b), (c), and (d). The monitor shall be equipped to record and salvage cultural resources that may be unearthed during grading activities. The monitor shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert grading equipment to allow recording and removal of the unearthed resources. 13. If any resources of a prehistoric or Native American origin are discovered, the appropriate Native American tribal representative will be contacted and invited to observe the monitoring program for the duration of the grading phase at tribal expense. Any Native American resources shall be evaluated in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and either reburied at the project site or curated at an accredited facility approved by the City of Arcadia. Once grading activities have ceased or the cultural monitor determines that monitoring is no longer necessary, such activities shall be discontinued. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Planning Services. 14. If paleontological resources (fossils) are discovered during project grading, work will be halted in that area until a qualified paleontologist can be retained to assess the significance of the find. The project paleontologist shall monitor remaining earthmoving activities at the project site and shall be equipped to record and salvage fossil resources that may be unearthed during grading activities. The paleontologist shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert grading equipment to allow recording and removal of the unearthed resources. Any fossils found shall be evaluated in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and offered for curation at an accredited facility approved by the City of Arcadia. Once grading activities have ceased or the paleontologist determines that monitoring is no longer necessary, monitoring activities shall be discontinued. This measure may be combined with CUL-3 at the discretion of the City Planning Services. 15. In the event of an accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, California State Health and Safety Code § 7050.5 dictates that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to CEQA regulations and PRC § 5097.98. If human remains are found, the LA County Coroner's office shall be contacted to determine if the remains are recent or of Native American significance. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall include a note to this effect on the grading plans for the project. 12 16. To ensure reductions below the expected "Business As Usual" (BAU) scenario, the project will implement a variety of measures that will reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To the extent feasible, and to the satisfaction of the City of Arcadia (City), the following measures will be incorporated into the design and construction of the SP-SP project prior to the issuance of building permits: Construction and Building Materials • Recycle/reuse at least 50 percent of the demolished and/or grubbed construction materials (including, but not limited to, soil, vegetation, concrete, lumber, metal, and cardboard). • Use "Green Building Materials," such as those materials that are resource- efficient and are recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, for at least 10 percent of the project. Energy Efficiency Measures • Design all project buildings to exceed the 2013 California Building Code's (CBC) Title 24 energy standard by 10 percent, including, but not limited to, any combination of the following: • Design buildings to accommodate future solar installations as appropriate. • Limit air leakage through the structure or within the heating and cooling distribution system to minimize energy consumption. • Incorporate ENERGY STAR or better rated windows, space heating and cooling equipment, light fixtures, appliances, or other applicable electrical equipment. • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems. Use daylight as an integral part of the lighting systems in buildings. • Install light-colored roofs and pavement materials where possible. • Install energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, appliances and equipment, and control systems. • Install solar lights or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for outdoor lighting or outdoor lighting that meets the 2013 California Building and Energy Code Water Conservation and Efficiency Measures Devise a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the project and its location consistent with the City's Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (WELO). The strategy may include the following, plus other innovative measures that may be appropriate: 13 • Create water-efficient landscapes within the development. • Install water-efficient irrigation systems and devices, such as soil moisture- based irrigation controls. • Design buildings to be water-efficient. Install water-efficient fixtures and appliances, including low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets, and waterless urinals. • Restrict watering methods (e.g., prohibit systems that apply water to nonvegetated surfaces) and control runoff. Solid Waste Measures To facilitate and encourage recycling to reduce landfill-associated emissions, among others, the project will provide trash enclosures that include additional enclosed area(s) for collection of recyclable materials. The recycling collection area(s) will be located within, near, or adjacent to each trash and rubbish disposal area. The recycling collection area will be a minimum of 50 percent of the area provided for the trash/rubbish enclosure(s) or as approved by the waste management department of the City of Arcadia. Provide employee education on waste reduction and available recycling services. Transportation Measures To facilitate and encourage non-motorized transportation, bicycle racks shall be provided in convenient locations to facilitate bicycle access to the project area. The bicycle racks shall be shown on project landscaping and improvement plans submitted for Planning Services approval and shall be installed in accordance with those plans. Provide pedestrian walkways and connectivity throughout the project. Fund or participate in some type of shuttle service for hotel guests to access the City's downtown Gold Line Station. 17. Prior to demolition of any existing hotel buildings or associated structures, a qualified contractor shall be retained to survey structures proposed for demolition to determine if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and/or lead-based paint (LBP) are present. If ACMs and/or LBP are present, prior to commencement of general demolition, these materials shall be removed and transported to an appropriate landfill by a licensed contractor. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Building Services including written documentation of the disposal of any ACMs or LBP in conformance with all applicable regulations. 18. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall file a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board to be covered under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General 14 Construction Permit for discharge of storm water associated with construction activities. The project developer shall submit to the City the Waste Discharge Identification Number issued by the State Water Quality Control Board (SWQCB) as proof that the project's NOI is to be covered by the General Construction Permit which has been filed with the SWQCB. This measure shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 19. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall submit to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and receive approval for a project- specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP shall include a surface water control plan and erosion control plan citing specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion during the entire grading and construction period. In addition, the SWPPP shall emphasize structural and nonstructural best management practices (BMPs) to control sediment and non- visible discharges from the site. BMPs to be implemented may include (but shall not be limited to) the following: • Potential sediment discharges from the site may be controlled by the following: sandbags, silt fences, straw wattles, fiber rolls, a temporary debris basin (if deemed necessary), and other discharge control devices. The construction and condition of the BMPs are to be periodically inspected by the RWQCB during construction, and repairs will be made as required. • Area drains within the construction area must be provided with inlet protection. Minimum standards are sand bag barriers, or two layers of sandbags with filter fabric over the grate, properly designed standpipes, or other measures as appropriate. • Materials that have the potential to contribute non-visible pollutants to storm water must not be placed in drainage ways and must be placed in temporary storage containment areas. • All loose soil, silt, clay, sand, debris, and other earthen material shall be controlled to eliminate discharge from the site. Temporary soil stabilization measures to be considered include: covering disturbed areas with mulch, temporary seeding, soil stabilizing binders, fiber rolls or blankets, temporary vegetation, and permanent seeding. Stockpiles shall be surrounded by silt fences and covered with plastic tarps. • Implement good housekeeping practices such as creating a waste collection area, putting lids on waste and material containers, and cleaning up spills immediately. • The SWPPP shall include inspection forms for routine monitoring of the site during the construction phase. • Additional required BMPs and erosion control measures shall be documented in the SWPPP. 15 • The SWPPP would be kept on site for the duration of project construction and shall be available to the local Regional Water Quality Control Board for inspection at any time. The developer and/or construction contractor shall be responsible for performing and documenting the application of BMPs identified in the project-specific SWPPP. Regular inspections shall be performed on sediment control measures called for in the SWPPP. Monthly reports shall be maintained and remain available for City inspection. An inspection log shall be maintained for the project and shall be available at the site for review by the City and the Regional Water Quality Control Board as appropriate. 20. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a site-specific Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP) shall be submitted to the City Planning Division for review and approval. The SUSMP shall specifically identify the long-term site design, source control, and treatment control BMPs that shall be used on site to control pollutant runoff and to reduce impacts to water quality to the maximum extent practicable. At a minimum, the SUSMP shall identify and the site developer shall implement the following site design, source control, and treatment control BMPs as appropriate: Site Design BMPs • Minimize urban runoff by maximizing permeable areas and minimizing impermeable areas (recommended minimum 25 percent of site to be permeable). • Incorporate landscaped buffer areas between sidewalks and streets. • Maximize canopy interception and water conservation by planting native or drought-tolerant trees and large shrubs wherever possible • Where soil conditions are suitable, use perforated pipe or gravel filtration pits for low flow infiltration. • Construct onsite ponding areas or retention facilities to increase opportunities for infiltration consistent with vector control objectives. • Construct streets, sidewalks and parking lot aisles to the minimum widths necessary, provided that public safety and a walkable environment for pedestrians are not compromised. • Direct runoff from impervious areas to treatment control BMPs such as landscaping/bioretention areas. Source Control BMPs 16 Source control BMPs are implemented to eliminate the presence of pollutants through prevention. Such measures can be both non-structural and structural: Non-Structural Source Control BMPs • Education for property owners, tenants, occupants, and employees. • Activity restrictions. • Irrigation system and landscape maintenance to minimize water runoff. • Common area litter control. • Regular mechanical sweeping of private streets and parking lots. • Regular drainage facility inspection and maintenance. Structural Source Control BMPs • MS4 stenciling and signage at stormdown drains. • Properly design trash storage areas and any outdoor material storage areas. Treatment Control BMPs Treatment control BMPs supplement the pollution prevention and source control measures by treating the water to remove pollutants before it is released from the project site. The treatment control BMP strategy for the project is to select Low Impact Development (LID) BMPs that promote infiltration and evapotranspiration, including the construction of infiltration basins, bioretention facilities, and extended detention basins. Where infiltration BMPs are not appropriate, bioretention and/or biotreatment BMPs (including extended detention basins, bioswales, and constructed wetlands) that provide opportunity for evapotranspiration and incidental infiltration may be utilized. Harvest and use BMPs (e.g., storage pods) may be used as a treatment control BMP to store runoff for later non-potable uses. 21. Prior to issuance of grading and building permits for each phase of the project, the developer shall prepare a Construction Noise Control Plan and shall submit the plan to the City for review and approval. The plan shall include but will not be limited to the following: • During all project site excavation and grading, contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers consistent with manufacturers' standards. • The project contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the closest sensitive receptor to the project site (i.e., the (i.e., the residents located along Santa Cruz Road to the north 17 •e- A -- . _ ' • . -- .. . _ -- of the project site ata distance of approximately 350 feet). • The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and the closest noise-sensitive receptor to the project site (i.e., the residents located along Santa Cruz Road to the north -_ .ea • -- . - • . . - -- .. . - corner of the project site at a distance of approximately 350 feet) during all project construction. • During all project site construction, the construction contractor shall limit all construction-related activities that would result in high noise levels to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. No construction shall be permitted on Sundays or any of the holidays listed in AMC Section 4261 . • - - _ - - _ . -- . - . - ..- - - - •• --- - - - - _ - . - • _ • . .- . . - . -- . -- . e.- ite.
