The 2018-19 fiscal year Operating Budget was originally adopted in May 2017 as part of the 2017-2019 Two-Year Operating Budget. The budget continues to emphasis a safe and secure community, services and programs for youth and seniors. Some additional priorities of the City Council has been economic development, roadway improvements and reducing the City's carbon footprint. While economic uncertainties are a major concern, Torrance continues on a path of sound fiscal management. As mentioned in prior budget messages, the demographics and attributes of the City and the South Bay makes Torrance an ideal destination for prime businesses and coveted retailers. Retailers and restaurants continue to open their doors in the Del Amo Fashion Center, along "the Boulevard", and other areas of Torrance. The Del Amo Fashion Center renovation continues as construction of Dave & Busters and the relocation of Marshall's are nearing completion and slated to this summer. The Del Amo Crossings (Financial Center), which is across from the Del Amo Fashion Center, is undergoing major improvements and renovations which include a "24 Hour Fitness", restaurants, high-end senior living complex and parking structure. Hawthorne Boulevard, or "the Boulevard", is home to many existing, new and renovated auto dealerships such as Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler/Jeep, Ferrari Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, and Nissan. Renovations and site improvements are also occurring at many of our Pacific Coast Highway and Crenshaw Boulevard dealerships - Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Land Rover/Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Volvo and Ford. Health care also continues to grow as both our hospitals continue to expand their footprint and those businesses and centers supporting health care. Torrance is also well on its way to becoming a mecca of micro-breweries. Roadway improvements continue throughout the City. During the current fiscal year, roadway pavement improvements were completed on Anza Avenue from 1901h Street to Del Amo Boulevard, and on Crenshaw Boulevard from Sepulveda Boulevard to Skypark Drive and from Pacific Coast Highway to Rolling Hills Road. The residential slurry seal and arterial sealing programs continue. These programs resurfaced over 16 miles of residential streets and 4.4 miles of arterial and collector streets. In the last five and a half years, 28% of the City's street pavement has been improved. This aggressive pavement program will continue in FY 2018-2019 with further improvements through the residential slurry seal and arterial sealing programs and projects planned on arterials including Anza Avenue from Del Amo Boulevard to Sepulveda Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard from Redondo Beach Boulevard to 182nd Street. The City also continued efforts to improve sidewalks, curbs and gutters city-wide. Through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the area north of Del Amo Boulevard and west of Hawthorne Boulevard were improved. Sidewalk i work will continue in FY2018-2019 in neighborhoods south of Torrance Boulevard. A special grant-funded project will bring long-awaited sidewalk improvements to the downtown area bounded by Torrance Boulevard, Cabrillo Avenue, Plaza Del Amo and Cota Avenue. The construction of the Torrance Park and Ride Regional Terminal continues. General Fund Revenues General Fund revenues continue to grow steadily. Revenues are projected to slightly increase by approximately 2.6% over the 2017-18 fiscal year. With a few exceptions such as sales tax and utility user tax, General Fund revenues for the City are reflecting a modest but steady growth as we enter into fiscal year 2018-19. Revenues for the upcoming fiscal year 2018-19 are projected to be at $203.5 million, a growth of approximately $5.2 million over fiscal year 2017-18. The five largest revenue sources of the General Fund (Sales Tax, Property Tax, Utility Users' Tax, Occupancy Tax and Business License Tax) represent about 82% of General Fund budgeted revenues: Sales Tax ($57.7M), Property Tax ($51.4M) and Utility Users' Tax ($34.2M), Occupancy Tax ($12.8M) and the City's Business License Tax ($1O.4M). Sales tax represents 28% of General Fund revenues. Torrance is the 4th largest sales tax producer in the

Mitigation measures and the significance of impacts after 6 mitigation also are described. 7 The transportation analysis includes eight freeway/roadway segments and 34 key 8 intersections that would be used by truck and automobile traffic to gain access to and 9 from the PMPU area. These include the nearest Congestion Management Program 10 (CMP) monitoring stations, assessed in conformance with Los Angeles County 11 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) CMP guidelines (LACMTA 2010). 12 3.12.2 Environmental Setting 13 3.12.2.1 Ground Transportation 14 The PMPU serves as a long-range plan to establish policies and guidelines for future 15 development within the coastal zone boundary of the Port. In general, the PMPU area is 16 bounded by the community of Wilmington to the north, lands surrounding the 17 Consolidated Slip to the northeast, lands surrounding the Cerritos Channel and City of 18 Los Angeles boundary to the east, Los Angeles Harbor to the south, and the community 19 of San Pedro to the west. 20 Access to and from the Port is provided by a network of freeways and arterial routes, 21 as shown on Figure 3.12-1. The freeway network consists of the Artesia Freeway 22 (State route [SR]-91), Harbor Freeway (I-110), Long Beach Freeway (I-710), San 23 Diego Freeway (I-405), and the Terminal Island Freeway (SR-103/ SR-47).

  • Ground Transportation
    1 Section 3.7 2 Ground Transportation 3 SECTION SUMMARY 4 This section describes existing ground transportation within the Port and surrounding area, and addresses 5 the potential impacts that could result from implementation of the proposed Project or an alternative. The 6 proposed Project would improve the container-handling efficiency of the existing YTI Terminal, and add 7 additional operational track to the TICTF, thereby increasing the throughput capacity of the terminal from 8 1,692,000 TEUs annually to 1,913,000 TEUs annually by 2026. The increase in capacity of the terminal 9 would increase truck trips and rail activity, thereby potentially increasing congestion on area roadways 10 and at rail crossings. 11 Section 3.7, Ground Transportation, provides the following: 12 . A description of existing levels of traffic in the Port area; 13 . a discussion on the methodology used to determine whether the proposed Project or 14 alternatives would result in an impact on ground transportation; 15 . an impact analysis of both the proposed Project and alternatives; and 16 . a description of any mitigation measures proposed to reduce any potential impacts, as 17 applicable. 18 Key Points of Section 3.7: 19 The proposed Project would make infrastructure improvements to an existing container terminal, and its 20 operations would be consistent with other uses and container terminals in the proposed Project area. The 21 alternatives evaluated included the No Project Alternative, the No Federal Action Alternative, and a 22 Reduced Project Alternative. The analysis determined that construction and operation of the proposed 23 Project or an alternative would not result in significant ground transportation impacts to roadways, rail, or 24 other modes of ground transportation under CEQA or NEPA, and that no mitigation would be required.
