  • Work-In-Progress II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. INTRODUCTION
    II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. INTRODUCTION The Applicant, Century City Realty LLC, proposes the construction of 483 residential condominiums with associated amenities on an approximately 5.5-acre site (net area) within Century City in the City of Los Angeles. The Project site is located at 10131 Constellation Boulevard at the northeast corner of Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard. The proposed condominiums would be developed in three mid- to high-rise structures. Parking would be provided in four subterranean levels. In addition, the Project would include at least 1.7 acres of open space. The Project site is currently developed with three structures that provide bank and drive-through bank facility, restaurant, and nightclub uses. These structures are located along the street frontages of Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard. The remainder of the Project site is undeveloped. The existing structures and the associated parking would be removed for redevelopment of the Project site. B. PROJECT LOCATION AND SURROUNDING USES The Project site is located in the West Los Angeles Community Plan area in the City of Los Angeles, approximately 10 miles west of downtown Los Angeles and approximately 6 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, as shown in the regional and vicinity map provided in Figure 1 on page 58. The Project site is located in a highly urbanized area. Major streets to the north and south of the site include Santa Monica and Olympic Boulevards, respectively.

  • Karen Alschuler Kim Wilkie Scott Johnson Karen Alschuler Is a Principal of Perkins + Will, and Serves As a Global Le
    ◾ Karen Alschuler ◾ Kim Wilkie ◾ Scott Johnson Karen Alschuler is a principal of Perkins + Will, and serves as a Global Leader for Urban Design. Leading the firm’s vanguard urban design practice in the San Francisco office, Alschuler and her teams have built a legacy of urban places, waterfronts, and transportation centers unique to their settings and welcoming to diverse populations. Over the last twenty years, first at SMWM and now at Perkins+Will Alschuler has overseen a portfolio of over 400 planning and urban design projects. In San Francisco alone, her plans frame the development of 30,000 new housing units and over 2000 acres of urban district transformation. Alschuler is the inventor of the much touted “planning game,” inviting informed, substantive involvement by communities and client teams. Under her leadership, Perkins+Will’s planners and designers work in places of magnificent urban opportunity that demand creativity in tackling growth, transformation, leadership challenges, and community passions. They take on projects and seek out places where real transformation is desired but the path is treacherous. They blaze their way toward new zoning approaches, real sustainability (in density, energy, ecology, and society), and protection of public rights and access. They steward well-loved places amidst districts of change, and foster design excellence in all aspects of city-building. A selection of recent projects includes Alschuler’s engagement in leading edge urban design guidelines for Toronto’s downtown waterfront, a net-zero 178-acre plan for a former steel site in Pittsburgh, and a sea level rise resilient 3 million square foot mixed use district on the San Francisco waterfront.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE GEOGRAPHICAL ANALOG ENGINE: HYBRID NUMERIC AND SEMANTIC SIMILARITY MEASURES FOR U.S. CITIES A Thesis in Geography by Tawan Banchuen © 2008 Tawan Banchuen Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2008 The thesis of Tawan Banchuen was reviewed and approved* by the following: C. Gregory Knight Professor of Geography Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Mark N. Gahegan Professor of Geography Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Robert G. Crane Professor of Geography Dennis W. Thomson Professor of Meteorology Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation began with the goal to develop a methodology for locating climate change analogs, and quickly turned into a quest for computational means of locating geographical analogs in general. Previous work in geographical analogs either only computed on numeric information, or manually considered qualitative information. Current and emerging technologies, such as electronic document collections, the Internet, and the Semantic Web, make it possible for people and organizations to store millions of books and articles, share them with the world, or even author some themselves. The amount of electronic and online content is expanding at an exponential speed, such that analysts are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volumes of accessible information. The dissertation explores techniques from knowledge engineering, artificial intelligence, information sciences, linguistics and cognitive science, and proposes a novel, automatic methodology that computes similarity within online/offline textual information, and graphically and statistically combines the results with those of numeric methods.

  • V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS A.1 Aesthetics – Visual Qualities
    V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS A.1 Aesthetics – Visual Qualities V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS A. AESTHETICS Aesthetic impacts for the Project have been evaluated under three general categories: 1) Visual Qualities, which addresses the general aesthetic value and view impacts relative to the surrounding neighborhood, 2) Lighting, which considers Project night-time illumination or glare impacts on the surrounding neighborhood, and 3) Shading, which evaluates daytime shading impacts resulting from construction of the Project. 1. Visual Qualities The Visual Qualities analysis in this Section addresses the two issues of aesthetic character and alteration of views. Aesthetic impacts are evaluated in terms of the Project’s visual compatibility with the surrounding environment, given scale, and image or character of the area. Views are addressed in order to determine if the Project would affect any valued public views. This evaluation takes into consideration the Project as described in Section III. Project Description, including approval of all Project entitlement requests, the demolition of existing structures, and the construction of the Project. Existing Conditions The Project site is located within the Century City North Specific Plan (CCNSP) area of the West Los Angeles Community Plan. The Century City North Specific Plan provides for a mixture of high-rise commercial offices, high-medium density residential development, hotels and shopping uses. The Specific Plan area is bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard to the north, by the boundary between the City of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills to the east, by Olympic Boulevard to the south, and by Century Park West to the west. The Project site currently contains a commercial complex consisting of two stone-covered rectangular eight-story buildings of modern design, with footprints measuring approximately 200 by 250 feet.
