  • Attachment E Part 2
    Response to Correspondence from Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy Regarding the ArtCenter Master Plan Note that the emails (Attachment A) dated after April 25, 2018, were provided to the City after the end of the CEQA comment period, and, therefore, the emails and the responses below are not included in the EIR, and no response is required under CEQA. However, for sake of complete analysis and consideration of all comments submitted, the City responds herein and this document is made part of the project staff report. Response to Correspondence This correspondence with the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy occurred in the context of the preparation of the EIR for the ArtCenter Master Plan. The formal comment letter from Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy included in this correspondence was responded to as Letter No. 6 in Section III, Response to Comments, of the April 2018 Final EIR for the ArtCenter Master Plan. The primary correspondence herein is comprised of emails between John Howell and Mickey Long discussing whether there is a wildlife corridor within the Hillside Campus, as well as emails between John Howell and CDFW regarding whether there is a wildlife corridor and whether CDFW will provide a comment letter regarding the ArtCenter Project for the Planning Commission hearing on May 9, 2018. Note that CDFW submitted a comment letter on May 9, 2018, after completion of the Draft EIR and Final EIR. The City has also provided a separate response to this late comment letter. This correspondence centers around the potential for the Hillside Campus to contribute to a wildlife corridor. The CDFW was contacted during preparation of the Final EIR to obtain specific mapping information to provide a more comprehensive description of the potential for wildlife movement within the Hillside Campus within the Final EIR.

  • Bow Tie Yard Lofts Project Initial Study
    City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning Major Projects & Environmental Analysis Section City Hall 200 N. Spring Street, Room 750 Los Angeles, CA 90012 INITIAL STUDY Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan Area Bow Tie Yard Lofts Project Case Number: ENV-2016-2862-EIR Project Location: 2750-2800 W. Casitas Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90039 Council District: 1, Gilbert A. Cedillo Project Description: The Applicant proposes the development of a mixed-use project in the Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan area that would consist of five buildings with a total of 419 multi-family residential units (approximately 423,872 square feet) and approximately 64,000 square feet of commercial space. The 5.7-acre Project Site is located at the terminus of Casitas Avenue in Glassell Park in Northeast Los Angeles. The Los Angeles River is adjacent to the Project Site’s southern boundary line, and the Glendale Freeway (SR-2) is located to the north and west of the Project Site. The existing zoning designation of the Project Site is [Q]PF-1-CDO-RIO. Existing on-site uses, including a light manufacturing/warehouse/film production building (approximately 117,000 square feet) and its associated surface parking, would be demolished as part of the Proposed Project. The proposed residential units would include a combination of 119 studios, 220 one-bedroom, and 80 two-bedroom units in four buildings ranging from five to six stories (60 to 81 feet above grade). Eleven percent of the base-density residential units (approximately 35 units) would be reserved as Very Low Income Units.

  • 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
    January 2018 CHAPTER 4 Environmental Analysis SECTION 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section of the EIR analyzes the potential environmental effects on hydrology and water quality from implementation of the proposed project. Data for this section were taken from the Glendale Emergency Plan, Glendale General Plan Safety Element Technical Background Report, the EPA, and Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Watermaster. Full reference-list entries for all cited materials are provided in Section 4.8.5 (References). 4.8.1 Environmental Setting Surface Water The proposed SGCP area is within the Los Angeles River watershed, which includes 834 square miles of Los Angeles County. The eastern portion of the watershed spans from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Simi Hills and in the west from the Santa Susana Mountains to the San Gabriel Mountains. The watershed encompasses and is shaped by the Los Angeles River. The river flows adjacent to the western and southern borders of the proposed SGCP area in a concrete lined channel. The upper portion of the watershed (Upper Los Angeles River Watershed), where the proposed SGCP area is located, contains a network of flood control dams and debris basins that flow to the Los Angeles River (LACDPW 2016). The Upper Los Angeles River watershed is home to approximately 2.3 million people, mostly in high density development in the interior valleys and foothills. Precipitation within the Upper Los Angeles River watershed typically falls in a few major storm events between November and March to an average of 19 inches per year.
