Final Environmental Impact Report (includes DEIR, RP-DEIR and Appendices) F. Administrative Code Amendment CPC-2009-598-SP A-1 PROPOSED PLAN ANALYSIS Summary On October 11 th and November 8 th 2012 the City Planning Commission (CPC) held public hearings on the Proposed Plan. At the October 11 th hearing there were 31 speakers, many of whom spoke in general support of the Plan but expressed concern over certain issues. Most of the concerns centered on the topics of affordable housing, public parking and protections for industrial development. Based upon the public testimony and subsequent deliberation, the CPC continued the item until November 8, 2012. At the November 8 th hearing, in light of the staff-suggested changes (see below) to parking and industrial design standards, there were 12 speakers, most of whom again spoke in general support but continued to express concern over a couple of remaining issues. Affordable housing continued to dominate the comments and a few developers and/or their representatives continued to press for specific modifications to address site-specific issues. Due to the affordable housing concerns raised on October 11 th the CPC formed an Ad Hoc Sub- Committee (Sub-Committee) of four commissioners to permit the opportunity for further discussion with developers and financing experts of affordable housing projects. The Sub- Committee met once with City Planning staff (staff) and affordable housing experts on October 22, 2012 to discuss concerns that the proposed residential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.5:1 in the Urban Village would discourage the development of affordable housing. Subsequent to the October 11 th hearing, staff also worked closely with stakeholders to resolve concerns that particular standards with the Proposed Plan could unintentionally constrain parking flexibility and limit industrial development. Based upon the conversations with stakeholders, staff decided to eliminate the public parking requirement and adjust a variety of design standards to facilitate the expansion of light industrial development within the Plan area. These changes were introduced at the November 8 th hearing and are discussed in further detail below. In light of an independent analysis with respect to the impact of the 2.5:1 FAR on affordable housing (that was presented to the CPC on November 8 th) the item was once again continued in order to provide the development community and other stakeholders the opportunity to review the analysis which, along with other public comments submitted to the CPC, was posted on the Department’s website at: planning.lacity.org/ Ordinances/Proposed Ordinances/Cornfield Arroyo Seco Specific Plan. Background The Cornfield Arroyo Seco Specific Plan (Proposed Plan) is a regulatory land use ordinance as permitted by Section 11.5.7 of Volume 1 of the City’s Municipal Code. The City establishes specific plans to address area specific land use needs and concerns. The Plan is the result of several years of planning and community engagement that involved community workshops, meetings and conversations with residents, employers, property owners, and community business, and environmental organizations as well as staff input from numerous City, County, State, and federal departments. The Proposed Plan anticipates that by 2035 the population within the Proposed Plan could reach 31,855, that there could be a total of 8.776 units and that there could be a total of 10,546 jobs. As of 2007 the population within the Proposed Plan was 5,304 and there were 1,448 CPC-2009-598-SP A-2 housing units and 2,908 jobs. To enable this growth and to achieve the goals of the General Plan and the LARRMP the Proposed Plan establishes four new zoning districts: Urban Village, Urban Center, Urban Innovation, and Greenway (See Appendix B1- Zoning Districts Map). The Plan also includes an area-specific Density Bonus Option, a Community Benefit Option, and a Transfer of Floor Area (TFAR) program which together provide incentives for affordable housing, community benefits (open space, child care, library), and the preservation of lower- density industrial and residential uses, open space, and historic resources. The Plan includes a variety of standards addressing building form and massing, urban design, park, conservation, maintenance, noise, parking and streets.
