Chapter 3 - Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures CHAPTER 3 - ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, IMPACTS, AND MITIGATION MEASURES 3-1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with the information necessary to understand and evaluate the potential environmental impacts due to implementation of the proposed Los Angeles Valley College Facilities Master Plan (Master Plan). In accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (§15128 and §15143), this EIR focuses on the impacts identified in the NOP and during project scoping as needing further analysis (visual resources; air quality, historical resources; archaeological resources; paleontological resources; geology/soils/seismicity; hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; land use and planning; noise; population and housing; public services; transportation, traffic and parking; and public utilities). A list of the impacts determined to be less than significant and the reasons for that determination are provided in Chapter 5. To assist the reader, each environmental impact category in this EIR is discussed separately. These discussions include a description of the environmental setting, the criteria used to determine significance of potential effects, the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project, mitigation measures, and any unavoidable significant adverse effects that would remain after implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. The environmental setting discussions contain a description of the physical environmental conditions in the vicinity of the project as it existed at the time the Notice of Preparation was distributed (January 2003). The existing environmental conditions described in the setting sections serve as a baseline for the impact analyses in this EIR. The significance criteria identified for each environmental impact category are based on the definitions that have been developed and established by the Los Angeles Community College District, various public agencies, or professional organizations and are consistent with the State CEQA Guidelines. The environmental impact analyses focus on the potentially significant effects that could occur during project construction and/or operation. As required by CEQA, mitigation measures are identified to reduce or eliminate significant adverse impacts to the extent feasible. The analyses presented in this EIR are based on a projected enrollment of 23,000 students or 15,693 full-time-equivalent1 (FTE) students for the 2008-2009 academic year. Total enrollment at Valley College in the fall 2001 semester was 18,487 students. For the 2001-2002 academic year, there were 14,154 full-time-equivalent (FTE) students enrolled at the College. There were an estimated 19,309 students enrolled in the fall 2002 semester and the estimated number of FTE students for the 2002-2003 academic year is 13,393. As of the fall 2002 semester there were 324 FTE employed staff members at Valley College. 1 To determine the number of full-time-equivalent students, the District calculates the total number of instructional hours for all of the enrollments and divides by 525 hours which is roughly the number of instructional hours of one student taking five 3-unit classes for two primary terms. Instructional hours are based on enrollments on a census date and hours are counted differently for full-term and short-term classes. Some courses require reporting of actual hours of attendance only. Los Angeles Valley College Facilities Master Plan Final EIR page 3-1 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 3-2 VISUAL RESOURCES This section describes the visual setting of the Valley College campus and provides an evaluation of the potential impacts of the proposed Master Plan to the College’s visual quality and character, and the effect of artificial light and shading/glare in the project area. A discussion of feasible measures to mitigate or reduce the significant effects on the visual environment is also provided. 3-2.1 Environmental Setting Valley College is located in the San Fernando Valley, within the community of Van Nuys, and is part of the City of Los Angeles Van Nuys-North Sherman Oaks Community Plan Area. The College is bounded on the east by Grant High School and Coldwater Canyon Extension/Tujunga Wash, on the south by Burbank Boulevard, on the west by Fulton Avenue, and on the north by Oxford Street. Agricultural activities predominated in Van Nuys from the time of the establishment of San Fernando Mission (1797) well into the 1930s. Dry cultivation of wheat and barley was introduced in Van Nuys and a large portion of the Valley in the early 1870s, supplanting most of the previous sheep grazing activities. This coincided with the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1876 and marked a significant expansion of agricultural activity in the community. Completion of the Owens Valley Aqueduct (1913) increased agricultural activity while at the same time setting the stage for the dramatic urbanization of the San Fernando Valley. During the decade of the 1940s alone 250,000 new people moved there. This rapid suburbanization, along with a major expansion of the industrial sector, provided the rationale for establishment of Valley College. The local business community and chamber of commerce organizations were instrumental to the establishment of the school, which opened in September 1949 on the campus of Grant High School. The school’s early curriculum reflects the priority placed upon job skills necessary in a rapidly growing suburban economic context, such as business administration, engineering, and teacher training. The Van Nuys-Sherman Oaks communities comprising the Community Plan Area contain varied land uses, including single-family and low-to-medium density residential as well as heavy commercial and industrial uses. The campus is bordered on the east by Grant High School and Tujunga Wash; on the north by two-story, medium-density apartment housing; on the west by single-family residential neighborhoods; and on the south by a combination of commercial uses, a fire station, community care facilities, and two-story medium-density apartment housing. The institutional and commercial uses on Burbank Boulevard are located between Fulton and Ethel Avenues. Multi-family medium-density apartment buildings are located between Ethel and Coldwater Canyon Avenues. Views of Valley College from the surrounding neighborhood are almost completely blocked by the landscaping within Tujunga Wash and along the east border of the campus. Hedges and extensive trees along the north and west perimeters of the College also serve to filter views of the campus. Los Angeles Valley College Facilities Master Plan Final EIR page 3-2 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures Preservation and enhancement of visual resources is articulated in a series of objectives and policies within the Van Nuys-North Sherman Oaks Community Plan. These are addressed in a detailed set of planning and urban design improvements to enhance the community’s identity (viz., parkway landscaping, signage/graphics, and street furniture enhancements), including improvements to the appearance of industrial and commercial development and the improved interface of such development with residential areas. Salient policies that are germane when considering the Valley College Master Plan include: • Provision of sufficient and well-designed parking conforming to the urban design guidelines. • Identification, documentation, and preservation of historic and cultural resources (Policy 1- 4.1). • Design and development of projects “to achieve a high level of quality, distinctive character and compatibility with existing uses and development” (Policy 2-1.2). This includes conformance with community urban design standards, shielding and directing onsite lighting onto roadways and pathways and away from residential areas, and utilizing walls and landscape buffers to screen parking areas (including landscaping a minimum of 7 percent of parking lots)(Chapter 5, Design Policies for Individual Projects). • Shared use of existing school facilities to facilitate after hour/non-peak time recreational uses. In the Public and Institutional Land Uses Subsection the need for modernization of facilities and improvement to service levels is acknowledged but is to be balanced by an adequate protection of the community’s amenities and environmental quality. Open Space Subsection, Policy 5-1.1 states the intent of the City to... “encourage the retention of passive and visual open space, which provides a balance to the urban development of the community.” The Circulation Element of the Van Nuys-North Sherman Oaks Community Plan identifies the streets that border Valley College as Secondary Highways. However, none of these is identified as a scenic highway and no other visual resources of concern on or near the Valley College campus are identified. Valley College is arrayed in an L shape and consists of a tight cluster of educational and administrative buildings, bordered by athletic fields on the east and surface parking lots on the south, southeast, west, and north. Approximately 50 acres of the total 105 acres on campus are currently occupied by academic buildings and ancillary green space (e.g., landscape planters, trees, lawn, walkways), while approximately 35 acres are devoted to athletic fields (baseball field, the football field, soccer fields, fenced tennis courts). The remaining acreage is devoted to parking. In order to facilitate a description of

E1907637) November 2017 Bureau of Engineering City of Los Angeles Environmental Management Group This Page Intentially Left Blank CITY OF LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT INITIAL STUDY (Article I - City CEQA Guidelines) Council District: 7 Draft date: July 2, 2015 Final date: November 2015 Lead City Agency: Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering, Environmental Management Division (BOE/EMG) Project Title: Big Tujunga Wash at Oro Vista Avenue Maintenance Program (W.O. E1907637) Project Sponsor: Department of Public Works, Bureau of Street Services I. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of an Initial Study The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was enacted in 1970 for the purpose of providing decision-makers and the public with information regarding environmental effects of proposed projects; identifying means of avoiding environmental damage; and disclosing to the public the reasons behind a project’s approval even if it leads to environmental damage. The Bureau of Engineering Environmental Management Group (BOE/EMG) has determined the proposed project is subject to CEQA and no exemptions apply. Therefore, the preparation of an initial study is required. An initial study is a preliminary analysis conducted by the lead agency, in consultation with other agencies (responsible or trustee agencies, as applicable), to determine whether there is substantial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environment. If the initial study concludes that the project, with mitigation, may have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report should be prepared; otherwise the lead agency may adopt a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration.

  • ANALYSIS of EXISTING CONDITIONS a Subregional View Of
    ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A subregional view of travel on the Westside has been drawn from interviews with elected officials, meetings with MTA and other agencies and analysis of existing data. The subregion considered in this analysis is shown in Figure 1. Because transportation does not respect political boundaries, the Westside Mobility Study area is roughly all of Los Angeles County west of La Brea Avenue, north of Los Angeles International Airport and south of Mulholland Drive. The Westside has many of the most important activity centers in all of Southern California; 16 of these are shown in Figure 2. The Westside Mobility Study has begun to define what might be done to meet those needs for improved linkages, specifying the most critical locations for major transit improvements and other multimodal improvements. Evaluation of Existing Transportation Conditions A goal of the Westside Mobility Study is to provide an accurate picture of the existing traffic and congestion levels on primary arterials and corridors in the Westside area. As there was a large amount of readily available, current data, no new supplementary traffic counts were conducted. Data was acquired from the following sources and ranges predominantly from 2000 to the present day: · Traffic data from the Cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood · Transit data from Culver City Bus, Big Blue Bus and MTA · Information from MTA’s Short Range Transportation Plan: Technical Document · Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) database of traffic counts · Previous Kaku Associates projects · Caltrans counts 10 WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 1 STUDY AREA Multi-purpose Activity Centers WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 2 MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS Area Characteristics - Employment, Population and Housing: The Westside area has at least 10% of the jobs in Los Angeles County and is home to over 6% of County residents.

  • 8-4.6 Visual and Aesthetic Conditions
    Visual and Aesthetic Conditions 8-4.6 VISUAL AND AESTHETIC CONDITIONS This section analyzes visual and aesthetic conditions along the three Rapid Bus alternatives: RB- 3, RB-5, and RB-Network. 8-4.6.1 Setting 8-4.6.1.1 Methodology Generally, there are two types of physical features that characterize the visual environment of an area: • Built environment features including development patterns, buildings, structures, parking areas and roads, utilities, and signs; and, • Natural features such as hills, vegetation, rock outcroppings, drainages, and soils. The study area is defined to include local and distinct views as seen from within the immediate vicinity of potential RB stops. As no construction occurs except at RB stops, views along the alignment are not discussed in detail. Local views include immediate landscapes, and distinct views include mountains, hills and ridgelines up to five miles away. The setting is defined in terms of views. The corridors for the three Rapid Bus alternatives are subdivided into “visual assessment units” within which the views are discussed. Also included is an assessment of existing trees, lighting, and glare. a. Views The following terms are used to analyze and rank the overall quality of views in the study area, and are presented in the tables to follow: • Visual quality refers to the general aesthetics of a view. This analysis attempts to assess the quality of a view in an objective fashion through the use of the following descriptive categories: vividness, intactness, and unity. Vividness is the visual power or memorability of landscape components as they combine in striking and distinctive patterns; intactness is the visual integrity of the natural and built landscape and its freedom from encroaching elements; and unity is the visual coherence and compositional harmony of the landscape considered as a whole.

  • Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans Community Workshop & Initial Concepts: Summary of Comments November and December 2017
    ORANGE LINE TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP & INITIAL CONCEPTS: SUMMARY OF COMMENTS NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2017 Executive Summary The Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans (TNP) project aims to develop land use, zoning, and design regulations for the neighborhoods surrounding five Metro Orange Line stations in the south San Fernando Valley: North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sepulveda, Reseda, and Sherman Way. The study area generally includes the corridors and some residential areas within a 15-minute walk or ½-mile radius of each station. During the first phase of the public planning process, in the first half of 2016, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning hosted four community workshops to identify opportunities to enhance neighborhoods surrounding transit stations, as well as several other small focus groups with specific stakeholder groups. Staff gathered input from the general public, including community residents, business owners, employees, transit users, and other participants about their thoughts, ideas, and concerns for the future of their neighborhood as it develops around transit, summarized here. Using the comments received through the first phase of outreach, in combination with station area context, existing City plans and policies, demographic analysis, and planning best practices, staff developed initial land use and zoning concepts for targeted changes in development rights and design regulations. These initial concepts were presented at two community workshops, on November 2, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m.at the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center in Tarzana, and on November 15, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Van Nuys City Hall. Following these meetings, materials were made available online and staff solicited additional comments through the end of December.

    South Coast Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 4-12 • County: Los Angeles • Surface Area: 145,000 acres (226 square miles) Basin Boundaries and Hydrology The San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin was adjudicated in 1979 and includes the water-bearing sediments beneath the San Fernando Valley, Tujunga Valley, Browns Canyon, and the alluvial areas surrounding the Verdugo Mountains near La Crescenta and Eagle Rock. The basin is bounded on the north and northwest by the Santa Susana Mountains, on the north and northeast by the San Gabriel Mountains, on the east by the San Rafael Hills, on the south by the Santa Monica Mountains and Chalk Hills, and on the west by the Simi Hills. The valley is drained by the Los Angeles River and its tributaries. Precipitation in the San Fernando Valley ranges from 15 to 23 inches per year and averages about 17 inches. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The water-bearing sediments consist of the lower Pleistocene Saugus Formation, Pleistocene and Holocene age alluvium (CSWRB 1962). The ground-water in this basin is mainly unconfined with some confinement within the Saugus Formation in the western part of the basin and in the Sylmar and Eagle Rock areas (CSWRB 1962). The average specific yield for deposits within the basin varies from about 14 to 22 percent (DPW 1934). Well yield averages about 1,220 gpm with a maximum of about 3,240 gpm. Alluvium. Holocene age alluvium consists primarily of coarse-grained unsorted gravel and sand deposited by coalescing alluvial fans emanating from the surrounding highlands.
