Mitigation Plan City of Lomita Local Hazard Mitigation Plan October 2004 Prepared for the City of Lomita by: Ralph Andersen & Associates A Tradition of Excellence Since 1972 Item No. _______ CITY OF LOMITA CITY COUNCIL REPORT TO: City Council November 1, 2004 FROM: Gary Y. Sugano, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing, approve a resolution adopting the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City and authorize submittal of the plan to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) and FEMA. BACKGROUND The City is required to prepare and adopt a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan pursuant to the Disas- ter Mitigation Act of 2000 adopted by the United States Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States on October 10, 2000. On March 15, 2004, the City Council held a public hearing to accept input on the proposed local hazard mitigation plan and to identify natural hazards to be discussed in the plan. On May 10, 2004, the Planning Commission also held a public hearing for that same purpose. The purpose of the local hazard mitigation plan is to reduce risks from hazards by providing an assessment of those hazards, developing mitigation strategies and implementing and monitoring the plan after adoption. After City Council adoption of the plan, the State (Office of Emergency Management) and Federal (FEMA) will need to approve the plan. In addition, the plan would need to be updated every five years. The City of Lomita will be required to have an adopted plan in order to qualify for disaster relief funding through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The City has identified the following hazards that that are analyzed further in the plan: ¾ Earthquakes ¾ Landslides ¾ Localized Flooding ¾ High Winds i In addition to identifying hazards, the plan includes an extensive community profile of the City, summarizes City facilities and identifies goals and mitigation measures to reduce the impact of natural hazards should they occur in the future.

The Spanish crown gave the Southern California lands of the Rancho San Pedro to Juan Jose Dominguez in 1784, and in 1858 the United States government granted a patent confirming Dominguez family ownership of the Rancho. A few items predate the 1858 patent, but the bulk of the collection is from 1880-1960. Some materials concern the Rancho San Pedro itself, including partitions of land among family members, farming, oil and water development, and legal issues with neighboring cities, including Los Angeles and Long Beach. Much of the collection comprises records of the business, water, and real estate companies established by Dominguez heirs in and around the Los Angeles area.

  • 5-1 SECTION 5.1 INTRODUCTION the Conservation Element of The
    SECTION 5.1 INTRODUCTION The Conservation Element of the Rolling Hills Estates General Plan is concerned with the management of natural and cultural resources in the planning area. The Element identifies significant resources within the City and establishes a plan for their conservation, management, or preservation. The Conservation Element is a state-mandated element as required by regulations in Section 65302(d) of the California Government Code and the State Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA). The Element is intended to increase public awareness concerning the presence and condition of natural and cultural resources and to promote their conservation and management. The earth's resources are limited and often non-renewable. Ignorance, indifference and misuse could easily lead to their exploitation, destruction or neglect. As such, it is the City's responsibility to inform residents of the importance of local resources in relation to regional concerns. The City is empowered to regulate the use of certain local resources to prevent their destruction and exploitation and to ensure that conservation efforts are constant and equitable. Conservation includes the regulation of the extent of resource utilization, of the appropriate preservation techniques and of the conduct of activities which affect or preclude the use of resources. Natural resources in the planning area include water, air, and biotic resources. Cultural resources include historical , archeological and paleontological sites and structures. The City's conservation plan will consist of independent programs for the managed use of mineral resources, the maintenance of good air quality, the protection of native plant and animal life and the preservation of cultural resources.

  • Ethnohistoric South Gate?
    ETHNOHISTORIC SOUTH GATE? MARC A. BEHEREC AECOM A pervasive belief perpetuated by local histories in South Gate in southeast Los Angeles County is that the city was founded on the sites of the Gabrielino villages Ahau and Tibahangna. Ethnographers have also suggested Houtgna existed in South Gate. This study traces the Tibahangna and Ahau claims to a single source, evaluates all three place names, and finds none of these places were within the confines of the City of South Gate. However, evidence is revealed that at least one of the claims is based on an accidental archaeological discovery that, until now, was not documented in the archaeological literature. South Gate is a Massachusetts-shaped city in southeastern Los Angeles County. Just north of Interstate 105 and bisected by Interstate 710, it is bordered on the north by the unincorporated community of Walnut Park and the cities of Bell Gardens, Cudahy, and Huntington Park, on the west by the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles and unincorporated Willowbrook, on the south by the cities of Lynwood and Paramount, and on the east by the City of Downey. The modern bed of the Los Angeles River cuts through the city, which is located on the river’s flat alluvial floodplain. The city is located within the center of traditional territory of the Gabrielino (Johnston 1962; Kroeber 1925; McCawley 1996). The City of South Gate originated as the community of Southgate Gardens, which was developed as a white working-class suburb of Los Angeles beginning on September 3, 1917. The community originally consisted of 17 blocks bounded by Santa Ana Street (formerly Old Ranch Road) to the north, Independence Avenue to the south, Long Beach Boulevard to the west, and Garden View to the east (Bicentennial Heritage Committee 1976:8).

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Qualifications The purpose of this report is to determine and set forth whether or not the Ponte Vistaa development project (the “Project”) will impact historic resources. The Project is known as Ponte Vista and the site is located in the City of Los Angeles on approximately 61.5-acres in the Harbor-Gateway Community Plan Aarea. The Project site is bordered by Western Avenue to the west, Fitness Drive and multi-family residential developments to the south, the U.S. Navy's Defense Fuel Supply Point to the north, and the Mary Star of the Sea High School campus to the east. Land uses to the west, across Western Avenue, include the Green Hills Memorial Park cemetery and single-family residences. The Project site is currently improved with 245 residential units, a community center, and a retail convenience facility that were constructed in 1964 by the U.S. Navy for the purpose of housing personnel stationed at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. The Navy housing facility (formerly known as San Pedro Naval Housing) closed in 1997. A firefighting training facility was also located on the southwest portion of the site, and was subsequently closed. As part of the Project, existing improvements will be removed from the site. Teresa Grimes, Principal Architectural Historian at Galvin Preservation Associates (GPA) was responsible for the preparation of this report. Ms. Grimes fulfills the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 61.

    GUIDE TO THE COLLECTIONS OF THE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AT CSU DOMINGUEZ HILLS AND THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ARCHIVES Archives Reading Room Compiled by Gregory L Williams Thomas Philo University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills @2012 University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills All photographs are from the Collections of the Archives and Special Collections Department, University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills. Cover photo: Archives and Special Collections Reading Room, CSUDH. 1933 Earthquake, Compton. Compton History Collection. The Collections at CSU Dominguez Hills The purpose of this Guide is to introduce or re-introduce the collections of the Archives and Special Collections at California State University Dominguez Hills to the students, faculty, the community and others who might have an interest in researching at CSUDH. The collections at CSUDH are part of a medium-sized Archive that is able (because of that size) to make its collections accessible for CSUDH students and the community in a quick and friendly manner. The collections the Archives holds are intentionally diverse and serve our students because we have the many kinds of materials---rare books, maps, letters, business records, photographs, manuscripts, reports, postcards, newspapers and films. While a good deal of this material is accessible on various websites, the collections listed in this Guide are usually not immediately accessible because some are yet to be completely cataloged. While the cataloging backlog at CSUDH is significantly smaller than other repositories, there can be a lag between the time collections are donated and when they are accessible in finding aids. The web version of this Guide will be updated whenever new collections are brought into the archives and it will serve as another access point for our collections…and it is hoped a resource for extensive future research.
