CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION and PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to initiating vacation proceedings for George Burns and Gracie Allen Drive Vacation District.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. FIND this vacation is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 pursuant to Article VII, Class· 5 (3) of the City I S Environmental Guidelines.

2. FIND this vacation is in substantial conformance with the General Plan pursuant to Section 556 of the City Charter;· DETERMINE that the vacation area is not needed for non motorized transportation facilities in conformance with Section 892 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

3. DELETE Condition Nos. 3c and 12 of the City Engineer's report dated January 30, 2002, inasmuch as all public and private streets within the Cedar-Sinai Medical Center campus are to remain open for public and private use.

3. ADOPT the amended, January 30,' 2002, City Engineer report, subject to the conditions enumerated therein, that pursuant to the Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law, street vacation proceedings (VAC-E1400682) be instituted for the vacation of the public rights-of-way for the George Burns Road from Gracie Allen Drive to approximately 205 feet southerly thereof and Gracie Allen Drive from San Vicente Boulevard to approximately 240 feet easterly of Robertson Boulevard.

Fiscal Imoact Statement: The City Engineer reports that the petitioner has paid a fee of $2,861.25 for the investigation of this request pursuant to Section 7.42 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC). An additional processing fee to recover the cost will be required from the petitioner, pursuant to LAAC, Section 7.44. Maintenance of the public easement by City forces will be eliminated. -- -- C.F. 00-0281 Page 2 of 2

SUMMARY

The petitioner, representing the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, owner of the properties shown outlined in yellow on Exhibit A attached to the Council File, is requesting vacation of the public streets shown colored blue on said map. The petitioner's representative testified that the City Council approved in 1993 a master plan for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which involved the construction of maj or new elements on the campus. The City granted a developmental agreement and certified the environmental impact report for that expansion. In connection with that, Cedars-Sinai will undertake a series of major improvements both above and below the street, including tunnels, access ways, and so forth. The vacation of this street is, therefore, a pro forma vacation in that the streets will always remain open.

Cedars-Sinai requested deletion of Condition No. 12 and 3c. Recommendation No. 3c, which essentially requires the widening of a portion of the street. The Council District Five concurs with the requests.

Public comment letters were discussed, inasmuch as they were in opposition of the vacation. The Committe.e concluded, with input from Council District Five, that their opposition was based on misinformation. Councilmember LaBonge requested that the opponents be apprised of the true nature of the vacation.

This vacation was approved by the City Planning Director under City Plan Case No. 2000-1312 PWA on April 20, 2000. The PW Committee approved the City Engineer report as amended and forwarded the matter to Council for its consideration.

Respectfully submitted,

Re: CF 00-0281, VAC-E 14006821George Bums Road and Gracie Allen Drive Vacation District

Honorable Chairman, Honorable Members;

This Association represents the residents and homeowners living to the west and south ofthe Cedars-Sinai Medical Campus. We are directly and immediately impacted by this proposed street vacation.

As presently descnbed in the Revised Staff Report dtd. Jan 30, 2002 this action is NOT acceptable. As proposed by the City Engineer the vacation violates existing city ordinance and is not in the best interest of this badly tra.8ic impacted community.

1. Violation of City Ordinance No. 168,847.

Condition No. 2.k.i ofOrdiDance 168,847 requires " ... the free "avelo/emergency vehicles,

vehicles driven by the public and/or public use. II (Emphasis added). The City Engineer, for some reason not stated in the report, wouJd replace the ordinance's laDguage by conditions 11 and 12 which significantly reduce city oversight and protections to the community by leaving final determination ofstreet closure to the Planning Department withoutforther public input. This is simply not acceptable as a matter of good and responsible government as it amends a legislative action by administrative fiat.

2. Impact on the Community.

The Director ofPJannmg on April 20, 2000 in CPC No 2000-1312 PWA and CPC 92-0530 ZC coDCluded as Conclusion 2. and quoted on Page 9 on this report that : "They are nol needed for vehiculal' circulation or access. ".(Emphasis added).

This is simplY not true.

Without offering any ofthe many score of traffic reports prepared for projects in this area.

Page 1 of 2 _._---

CF-00-028JIYAC-E14.00682 . BURTON WAY HOA 2-26-02

anyone fiunjJiar with the Beverly Center/Cedars-Sinai area knows the deplorable state of traffic . circulation in this part of the city. Such a conclusion has to be rejected out ofhandas it bespeaks a totBllack offanriliarity with the true conditions prevailing.

The streets traversing Cedats--Sioai Campus are an integral part of the traffic patterns ofthe. Beverly Center area' and must remam so .. Anything less would no~ only grievously impact the . residential and business cOmmunity bUt also emergency services.

We, who live here, know allt00 wen that during the bUsy hours ofthe day, which stretch from about 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM. 81J1bu1ances and other emergency vehicles can only pass along 3td Street and Beverly Blvd. with the greatest difficuhy. By forcing traffic away from Cedars-Sinai Campus this would greatly increase traffic on surrounding streets and exacerbate the deliveiy of such serVices and diminish access to the emergency selvicesofrered by the hospit8L .

In conclusion we· urge you to reject this report and instead iDstruct the City Engineer and the Director of Planning to enforce the requirements of Ordinance No. 168,847.

Sincerely,

President

Re: George Burns Road and Gracie Allen Vacation District

Dear Committee Members:

My name is Bruce Corwin and I am Chairman of the Board of Metropolitan Theatres. Our offices are located at 8727 West Third Street. directly in baok of the Cedars-Sinai parking lot and complex. I also own property on Robertson Boulevard.

I am a great supporter of the hospital having been born there. served on its Board of Directors and having been a life long contributor to this great hospital. I dOl however. have great reservations conceming the Cedars proposal. Are the Metropolitan employees going to be able to enter the alley and have access to our parking lot? Is the traffic on Robertson Boulevard going to be Increased significantly that it will reduce business and property value?

Once the vacation request has been approved. Cedars will have the 60le say as to what happens in the future, I am truly concerned as the hospital gets bigger that the rest of us who have interests in the area will not have a leg to stand on. Therefore. until we know more and find our own comfort level, we have serious reservations concerning this proposal. c::-;---71na;re~~--:?

TRANSMITTAL:

Council File No. 00-0281 with application dated December 7, 1999, from Orest L. Dolyniuk of Planning Associates, Inc. -

DISCUSSION:

Request: The petitioner, Orest L. Dolyniuk of Planning Associates, Inc., representing the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, owner of the properties shown outlined in yellow on Exhibit "A (REVISED)", is requesting the vacation of the public streets shown colored blue. The vacation was requested to allow for the expansion of the existing medical center complex.

Zoning and Land Use: The properties surrounding the proposed vacation areas are zoned [T][Q]C2-2D-O and are developed with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Cente"r's facilities.

Description of Areas to be Vacated: The areas sought to be vacated are George Bums Road from Gracie Allen Drive to approximately 205 feet southerly thereof and Gracie AllenDrive from San Vicente Boulevard to approximately 240 feet easterly of Robertson Boulevard. George Burns Road is designated as a local street dedicated 60 feet and variable width and improved with concrete curb, gutter, asphalt concrete pavement, and Public Works Committee - 7 - C.D. No.5

sidewalks. Gracie Allen Drive is also designated as a local street dedicated 94 feet and variable width and improved with concrete curb, gutter, asphalt concrete pavement and sidewalks. Portions of the vacation area in the airspace and subsurface were previously vacated by separate Council Actions.

Adjoining Streets: San Vicente Boulevard is an improved divided major highway dedicated 109 feet wide and variable width with a 42-foot wide asphalt concrete roadway, concrete curbs, gutters, and concrete sidewalks. Third Street is an improved secondary highway dedicated 80 feet and variable width with a 25-foot wide asphalt concrete roadway, concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

Effects of Vacation on Circulation and Access: Since the petitioner states that the vacation is requested only for development below and above street grades, there should be no impacts on traffic circulation or access. However, the vacation of surface level of the public streets may have a significant effect on vehicular circulation or access since the streets are used for public circulation (vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles) and the proposed expansion ofthe medical center will have the potential to generate additional vehicular traffic to the area. However, condition no. 11 outlined herein requires the existing public streets to remain open to free travel of emergency vehicles, vehicles driven by the public and for public use.

Objections to the vacation: Charlotte L. Cohen, a property owner within the vicinity of the proposed vacation areas states: "I strongly object to Cedars Sinai having carte blanche over City property. Councilman Michael Feur's office has indicated to me the possibility of Cedar's constructing bridges over the streets. If this is the case, let Cedars get City permission, they do not have to own the streets. This area's streets are congested now, and if Cedars owned the streets, there would be nothing anyone could do if Cedars decided, at some future time, to close the streets as public thoroughfares". .

Robert H. Schwab ofR & L Properties, also a property owner in the vicinity states: "I am opposed to the proposed vacation, even if Cedars agrees to grant public access after said proposed vacation; our streets are congested enough! I sUrely do not want Cedars to have any flexibility or City approval regarding a vacated street; who knows what they could do with this right in the future!"

Reversionary Interest: No determinations of the underlying fee interest of the vacation areas have been made as to title or reversionary interest.

. Dedication and Improvements: It will be necessary that the petitioner provides for the dedications and improvements as outlined under Conditions. Public Works Committee - 8 - C.D. No.5

Sewers and Storm Drains: There are existing sewer and storm drain facilities within the areas proposed to be vacated.

Public Utilities: The Department of Water and Power, Pacific Bell, Southern California Gas Company, Media One, and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works maintain facilities in the areas proposed to be vacated.

Tract Map: Since the required dedications can be acquired by separate instruments and the necessary improvements can be constructed under separate permit processes, the requirement for the recordation of a new tract map could be waived. However, it will be necessary that the petitioner records an agreement satisfactory to the Bureau of Engineering to hold each adjoining parcel of land under the one ownership and its adjoining portion of the areas to be vacated, as one parcel to preclude the creation of landlocked parcels. This is to remain effective until such time as a new subdivision map . is recorded over the areas, a parcel map exemption is permitted or until released by authority of the City of Los Angeles.

City Department of Transportation: The Department of Transportation states that based on traffic considerations, the vacation is not opposed if through the requirements of a tract map or by other means, provisions are made for 1) lot consolidation, 2) driveway and access approval by the Department of Transportation and 3) any additional dedication and improvements necessary to bring all adjacent streets into conformance with the City's standard street dimensions. Cedar-Sinai Medical Center has indicated that they have no immediate plans to close any of the vacated streets. Ifin the future that should change, then Cedar-Sinai Medical Center should submit any plans for the installation of gates or guard booths to the Department of Transportation, the Bureau of Engineering and the Fire Department for review and approval as well as providing a suitable turn around at the terminus of any street that is not being vacated.

Since the west leg of Gracie Allen Drive at San Vicente Boulevard is also proposed to be vacated and since there is an existing traffic signal at the intersection of Gracie Allen Drive and San Vicente Boulevard, the Department of Transportation recommends that Cedar-Sinai Medical Center provide a "right-of-entry" to our Department for the modification, maintenance and/or operation of the traffic signal equipment and detector loops within the vacated portion of Gracie Allen Drive. Furthermore, the Department of Transportation recommends that the applicant submit any future plans for the closure, modification and/or installation of guard booths or gates at this location which could restrict traffic flow or the operation of the traffic signal to the Department of Transportation for review and approval and that the applicant be responsible for all costs associated with closing Gracie Allen Drive including any required modification of the traffic signals, striping, signing or pavement markings. Public Works Committee - 9- C.D. No.5

City Fire Department: The Fire Department did not respond to the Bureau of Engineering referral letter dated February 15,2000.

Department of City Planning: The Director of Planning, on April 20, 2000, under City Plan Case No. 2000-1312 PWA, recommended that the vacation be approved with the following conditions:

1. That either:

a. The areas vacated shall be left open at all times for public motorized traffic access and circulation; or

b. Should the vacated portions become closed to the public, the applicant shall install appropriate traffic turn-around facilities at the northern end of George Burns Road and at the east end of Gracie Allen Drive, which respectively abut the vacated street segments, in accordance with plans prepared by the applicant and approved by the City Engineer.

2. That all conditions of approval imposed pursuant to the approval of CPC 92-0530 ZC shall be upheld and complied with.

Conclusion: Since the vacation is requested for only development below and above street grades and condition no. 11 outlined herein requires the current public streets to remain open for public use, the vacation of the public streets as shown colored blue on attached Exhibit "A (REVISED)" could be conditionally approved based upon the following:

1. They are unnecessary for present or prospective public use.

2. They are not needed for vehicular circulation or access.

3. They are not needed for nonmotorized transportation purposes ..

Environmental Determination: The City Engineer has determined that potential development associated with this vacation may have an adverse effect on the environment. However, the effects on the environment are analyzed in EIR No. 90-0463 (ZC)(HD), which was certified by City Council on June 23, 1993, under C.F. 88-0046 and S 1. The City Engineer recommends that the City Council re-certify the EIR and the associated required findings at the time adoption of this report.

Findings: In compliance with Section 556 of the City Charter, this vacation is in substantial conformance with the purpose, intent and provisions of the General Plan as Public Works Committee --10 - c.o. No.5

detennined by the Director of Planning on April 20, 2000 under City Plan Case No. 2000-1312 PWA.

TRANSMITTAL:

Council File No. 00-0281 with application d'ated December 7, 1999, from Orest L. Dolyniukof Planning Asso~iates, Inc.

DISCUSSION:

Request: The petitioner, Ores.tL. Dolyniuk of Planning Associates, Inc., representing the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, owner of the properties shown outlined in yellow on Exhibit "A (REVISED)", is requestin:g the vacation of the pubiic streets shown colored 'blue. The vacation was request~d to allow for the expansion of the existing medical cet;lter complex.

Zoning and Land Use: The properties surrounding the proposed vacation areas are zoned [T][Q]C2-2D':O and are developed with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's facilities.

Description of Areas to be' Vacated: The areaS sought to be vacated are George· Burns Road from Gracie Allen Drive to approximately 205 feet southerly thereofand Gracie Allen Drive from San Vicente Boulevard to approximately 240 feet easteflyofRobertson Bouievard. George Burns Road is designated as a local.sireet dedicated .60 feet and variable width and improved with concrete curb, gutter, asphalt concrete pavement, and .. sidewalks. Gracie' Allen Drive is also designated as a local street dedicated 94 feet and , . variable width and improved with concrete curb, gutter,asphalt concrete pavement and' , sidewalks. Portions of the vacatiort area in the airspac'e and subsurface were previously vacated by separate Council Actions.

Adjoining Streets:San Vicente Boulevard is an improved diyided'major highway . dedicated ,1 09 'feetWideand variable Width with a 42-foot wide asphalt concrete roadway, concrete curbs, gutters, and ,concrete sidewalks. Third Street is an improved secondarY highway dedicated 80 feet and variable width with a 15-foot wide:asphalt concrete roadw~y, concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks,

Effects of Vacation on Circulation and Access: Since the petitibners~ates that the vacation.is requested oruy for development below and above stre<:;t grades, there should be no impacts oft traffic circulation or access. However, :the vacat~on of surface level of the public streets may have a significant effect on vehicular circulation or access since the streets are used for public circulation (vehicles, pedestrians, 'and bicycles) and the 'proposed expansion of the medical center will have the potential to: generate additional . vehicular traffic to the area. However, condition no. 11 outlined herein requires the Public Works Committee -7- C.D. No.5

existing public streets to remain open'to free travel of emergency vehicles, vehicles driven by the public and for public use.

Objections to the vacation: Charlotte L. Cohen, a property oWner within the vicinity of the proposed vacation areas states: "I strongly object to Cedars Sinai having carte blanche over City property. Councilman Michael Feur's office has indicated to me the possibility of Cedar's constructing bridges over the streets. If this is the case, let Cedars get City permission, they do not have to own the streets. This area's streets are congested now, and if Cedars owned the streets, there would be nothing anyone could do if Cedars decided, at some future time, to close the streets as public thoroughfares".

Robert H. Schwab of R & L Properties, also a property owner in the vicinity states: "I am opposed to the proposed vacation, even if Cedars agrees to grant public access after said proposed vacation; our streets are congested enough! I surely do not want Cedars to have any flexibility or City approval regarding a vacated street; who knows what they could do with this right in the future!"

Reversionary Interest: No determinations of the underlying fee interest of the vacation areas have been made as to title or reversionary interest.

Dedication and Improvements: It will be necessary that the petitioner provides for the dedications and improvements as outlined under Conditions.

Sewers and Storm Drains: There are existing sewer and storm drain facilities within the areas proposed to be vacated.

Tract Map: Since the required dedications can be acquired by separate instruments and the necessary improvements can be constructed under separate permit processes, the requirement for the recordation of a new tract map could be waived. However, it will be necessary that the petitioner records an agreement satisfactory to the Bureau of Engineering to hold each adjoining parcel of land under the one ownership and its adjoining portion of the areas to be vacated, as one parcel to preClude the creation of landlocked parcels. This is to remain effective until such time as a new subdivision map is recorded over the areas, a parcel map exemption is permitted or until released by authority of the City of Los Angeles.

City Department of Transportation: The Department of Transportation states that based on traffic considerations, the vacation is not opposed if through the requirements of a Public' W.orks .Committee - 8 - C.D. No.5

tract map or by other means, provisions are made for 1) lotconso'lidation, 2) driveway and access approval by the Department of Transportation arid 3) any additionaL dedication and improvements necessarY-to bring all adjacent streets into conformance withthe City's standard. street dimensions. Cedar-Sinai Medical Centerhas indicated that they have no imniediate plaris tociose any of the vacated stre~ts. If in the future that should change, then Cedar-Sinai Medical Center shoUld submit any plans for,the instaUation of gates or guard booths to the Department of Transportation, the Bureau of . Engineering arid the Fire Department for review and approval as weU 'as providing a s~itable turnaround a~ the terminus of any street that is not being vacated.'

Since the west leg·ofGracieAllen Drive at San Vicente Boulevard is'also proposeq to be vacated and since there. is an existing traffic signal at the intersection of Gracie Allen Drive and San Vicente Boulevard; the Departmt!nt of Transportation recommends that , Cedar-Sinai Medical Center provide a "right-of-entry" to oUrDepartnlent for the . modification, maintenance and/or operation of the traffic signal equipment and, detector loops within the vac~ted portion of Gracie Al'len Drive. Furthemiore, the Department of Transportation recommends that the applicant submit any future plans for the closure, ino,jification and/or installation of guard booth~ or gates,at this location which could restrict traffic flow or the operation of the traffic signal 'to .the DepartInent of Transportation for review and approval and that tl),e applicant be .responsible for all costs associated with closing Gracie Allen Drive including any required modification of the traffic signals, striping, signing or pavement markings.

City Fire'Department: The Fire Department did not respond to the Bureau of Engineering referral letter dated February 15, 2000 .

. Debartment of City Planning: The Director of Planning, on April'20, 2000, under City Plan Case No~ 2000-13 t'2 PWA, recommended thatthe vacation be approved with the " following conditions: .

1. That either: a. The areas .vacated shall'be left open at all times for public . motorized traffic access and circulation; or'

b. Should the vacated portions become closed to the public, the • applicant shall' install ,appropriate traffi~ turn-around facili~ies at .

I the northern end of George Burns Road and at the east end of Gracie AIU,m Drive, which respectively abut the vacated street: segments;' in accordance with, plans prepared by the applicant aJ?d approved by the City Engineer. .' Public Works Committee -9- C.D. No.5

2. That all conditions of approval imposed pursuant to the approval of CPC 92-0530 ZC shall be upheld and complied with.

1. They are unnecessary for present or prospective public use.

2. They.are not needed for vehicular circulation or access.

3. They are not needed for nonmotorized transportation purposes.

Environmental Determination: The City Engineer has determined that this vacation may have an adverse effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report is required to address all potential environmental issues.

Findings: In compliance with Section 556 of the City Charter, this vacation is in substantial conformance with the purpose, intent and provisions of the General Plan as determined by the Director of Planning on April 20, 2000 under City Plan Case No. 2000-1312 PWA.

RE: Vacation No.: VAC-E1400682

Dear Mr. Olive:

This is with reference to your letter of February 15,2000, regarding the proposed vacation of George Burns Road & Gracie Allen Drive - Vacation District - VAC-E1400682.

According to our Engineer, Mr. Jim Yanda, (323) 224-3206, Pacific Bell currently maintains communication facilities within the subject area, as shown on the attached map, and asks that an easement be obtained over the entire area to be vacated. Therefore, we do object to this proceeding until a reservation for our facilities can be included within the Resolution.

Our suggestion for the appropriate language is:

"An easement for Pacific Bell to from time to time construct, maintain, operate, replace, remove, and renew such aerial and underground communication facilities (including ingress thereto and egress therefrom) consisting of poles, anchors, guys, cables, wires, crossarms, conduits, manholes, handholes, markers, pedestals, terminal equipment cabinets, electrical conductors and necessary fIXtures and appurtenances."

We will require a copy of the recorded Resolution once the vacation is completed in order to maintain our records.

Thank you for notifying Pacific Bell.

Sincerely, Jj~~ Gloria Munoz d Right of Way Administrator (626) 356-7328

Date: 6 April 2000 -~~a <.~() fTI rT"I Dear Mr. Viado: ~ ~~ S< It is my understanding that Ceda~s Sinai Medical Center, through-· Planning Associates Inc., wants the City of Los Angeles to give over to Cedars Sinai the abovementioned City owned streets, "so that they, Cedars Sinai, will not have to go to the City every time they want to put the City streets to private ~." This is a direct quote from Mr. Orest Dolyniuk of Planning Associates, Inc., with whom I had a telephone conversation on April 4.

As a property owner in the immediate area, I strongly object to Cedars Sinai having carte blanche over City property. Councilman Michael Feuer's office has indicated to me the possibility of Cedars' constructing bridges over the streets. If this is the case, let Ceda~s get City permission, they do not have to own the streets. This area's streets are congested now, and if Cedars owned the streets, there would be nothing anyone could do if Cedars decided, at some future time, to close the streets as public thoroughfares.

I believe you have a duty to inform the business owners in the immediate vicinity of this take-over request. I received the information from a neighbor.

Our places of business are: 101-109 No. Robertson Blvd. 8811 Alden Drive

Please keep me informed in writing of any further developments regarding this petition.

Thank you.

RE: Proposed Vacation - George Burns Road/Gracie Allen Driye Dear Sir:

A neighbor of mine advised me of this proposed procedure. I subsequently obtained from Planning Associates, Inc. The attached transmittal letter of March 23rd. As an owner and manager of property in this area, I would be grateful for your answers to the following questions:

1. If Cedars agrees to keep these existing streets open for public use after they are vacated, can they, at a later date, revoke that agreement to allow public use?

2. With reference to the procedures required for the vacation of these streets, is there a requirement at this stage or at a later date that property owners within a certain radius must be advised of the proposed vacation? If so, what radius would be involved?

We have an active owners and merchants association which would be very interested in the answers to the above questions. May I have your early r~ply?

Very truly yours,

lam opposed to the proposed vacation. even if Cedars agrees to grant public access after said proposed vacation; our streets are congested enough!
