ackground

The General Plan is a Iong- range planning program, to guide the orderly growth and developrrrent of the os Alamitos planning area over the Iong- term. It is intended to communicate the City' s vision of its future and to establish a policy framework to govern decision- making concerning the physical development of the community, inc{uding assurances that the community-at-large will be supparted by an adequate range of public services and infrastructure systems.

The primary purpose of this llpdate is to refresh the Cifiy's Genera! Plan goals and policies, to address state law, reflect public outreacn, and address new and emerging issues. The General Plan Update is naw in its third year and a great deal of work was completed to understand the existing conditions, the opportunities for the Los Alamitos community, and the public' s input on future goals. The update also addresses several current and future challenges in this update. Some of these challenges include the lack of diversity in the City' s revenue base; aging and antiquated commercial/ industrial properties; the need for commercial recreation, shifting demographics and advancing technologies; and dealing with regional planning issues.

The City CounciB is being asked to review the draft General Plan Update and Draft Environmental lmpact Fteport and adopt resolutions to approve them or provide Staff wifh direction for making any final changes. The Scope of the General Plan was to focus upon the following ten items:

1. Retooling of existing elemenfis. 2. Updating the Background Report to reflect current conditions. 3. Indusian of the City's Sphere of Influence into the General Plan. 4. Incorparation of os Aiarnitos Medical Center Specific Plan. 5. Incorporation of LAFCO Boundary Changes implemented in 2010. 6. Establishing Land Use within the os Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base. 7. Incorporate principals of Compass Blueprint Corridor Study including area plan or specific plan. 8. Proposal should provide basis for establishment of Business Improvement Districts and Assessment Districts. 9. Development of new color digitized General Plan Map. 10. Provide, update, and manage an informative dedicated website.

The Planning Commission, during their February 9, 2015 meeting completed their review and adopted the appropriate resolutions recommending City Council take the recommended action above.

iscaassion

California State Iaw requires cities to adopt and periodically update a long- range plan for their physical development known as the General Plan. The General Plan serves as a blueprint and foundafion upon which Band use, development, and capital improvement decisions should be based. The City of Los Alamitos General Plan consists of a coliection of elements that were adopted in May 1990 and amended at various points since then, including a major amendment in 2000. The City is now undergoing its update of the General Plan. The Housing Element is part af the General Plan but is subject to more specific regulatory timeframes. Per s4afie law, the Housing Element was

General Plan Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 2 updated in 2014 and is therefore not part of the comprehensive l)pdate. However, the City ensured that the Housing Element and other General Plan elements remained consistent.

C rnprehensive Frarnewiork

The General Plan establishes a comprehensive framework through which the City manages its growth and development to ensure it efFiciently and effectively provides public facilities and services. With great pub( ic facilities and services, Los Alamitos delivers and continua{ly enhances a high quality of life and a desirable business c{imate, maintaining its position among the most attractive places to live and work in Southern California.

Greafi communities develop over time, and Los Alamitos is no exception. In addiYion, great communities are the product of countless individual decisions by residents, businesses, investors, visitors, and organizations, as well as numerous collective decisions through elected and appointed officials and public sector staff. The purpose of the General Pian is to provide a common vision for the future of Los Alamitos and to provide coordination for the many individual and collective decisions that, over time, will lead to the envisioned future.

Since the City's incorporation in 1960, Las Alamitos remains a community that values its citizens, its way af Iife, and its future as one af the preeminent communities in Southern Caiifornia. This General Plan builds on the strengths of previous planning efforts, staying true to the community's values and vision, and addressing future needs in a changing world. This plan focuses on the preservateon and enhancement of the existing Los Alamitos community while strengfihening the employment base and promoting the creation of a town center to ensure long- term viabiiity. Another important focus of this General Plan is to provide a document that is approachable and easy to use. This plan focuses on providing clear, consistent, and substantive goals and policy direction to guide community members, staff, and elected officiais when reraking decisions about Los Alamitos' future.

The General Plan is comprised ofi an overall Vision and topical elements. Whereas the eiements address a group of topical issues, the Vision provides the common framework tying all elements of the Generai Plan together into a ur ified whole. The General Plan will also help guide and be implemented by other planning documents such as the City's Annual Budget, Strategic lan, Capital Improvement Plan, and of course the General Plan Implementafiorr Plan. The Vision is listed below;

a%.(,. ..,. ,.

Los Alamrtos is an attractive, dynamic, and modern city renownecf for its wortd-class schoo/s, parks, and recreatron facilities, as well as a nationally-recognized medica0 center. The City is comprised of well- maintained neighborhoods that enjoy strong idenfifies, generate civic pride, and collectively offer wide range of places to Irve.

Los Alamifos hosts a town center that defines the popu(ar image of the City and offers multiple p(aces for the residents, workers, and students of Los Alamitos to meet friends, stroll, enjoy great food, and shop.

The City is home to successful businesses thaP provide fhe City with a diversity of tax revenue and fiscal support, helping ensure Los Alamrtos is economically sustainable. Los Alamitos maintains a system of streets and trails that are safe for everyone and every form of transportatiorr— be they children, families, workers, or customers who wa/k, bike, ride transit, or drive.

C eneral Plan lemerats

The elements establish the goals and policies relevant to land use, growth, and development of the City for a variety of topics and provide a framework for municipal decision-making. Equaliy as important thaugh, the City in4ends the goals and policies fio guide and help inform decisions of those investing in Los Alamitos— residents, businesses, and organizations.

ore specifically, the following tabie provides an outline far fihe General Plan document, including the Infroduction and the individual elements. Please note again that the Housing Element was updated separately and, while still a part of the averali General Plan, was not part of this comprehensive update effort and is not analyzed in the EIR.

Each element provides:

A brief review of background information on current conditions in the City. Clearly articulated goals that the City is attempting to attain. Policies to achieve these goals. Maps, tab9es, and other graphics to clarify a ad iifustrafie key concepts.

An Irnplementation Plan will also be created 4o direct staff on specific actions to achieve and implernent the goals and policies of the General lan. This Implementation Plan will not be a part of the General Plan so that Staff and decision makers will have the ability to modify it as needed without being constrained by the statutory limitations on general plan amendments.

The results of the community outreach Ied direcfily to the development of the General Plan Objectives. With the outreach behind us, the Planning Commission was tasked with building a consensus of the Commission in recommerrding approval to the City Council. The culmination of ali of the outreach efForts is the public hearing process

General Pian Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 7 before the Planning Comrrrissian and City Council leading ta the adopfion of the General Plan Update, with the Planning Commissian providing its recommendation to the City Council.

C eraeral Pian Objec4iv s

The General Plan Update is guided by a set of community vaiues and priorities developed by the Los Alamitos Cify Council and Commissiorrs with input from the community in Los Alamitos and Rossmoor. The following objectives have been established for the Los Alamitas General Plan llpdate and will aid decision makers in their review of the project and associated environmental impacts:

Main4ain high levels of safety and service Create an attractive and pedestrian-friendly downtown Introduce pedestrian bridges m Maximize retail opportunities along Katella Avenue Relocate City Hall Offer incentives to preserve and attract business Improve the look and identity of the City Provide consistent and effective code enforcement f aintain a good reiationship with the Los Alamitos Unified School District Create rnore open space, parks, trails, community gardens, and recreation areas Evaluate annexation carefully Estabiish centralized parking options Enhance cultural uses and hisfiorical preservatior

Plannir g Area and Timefraene

The General Pian guides land use and development for the entire Los Alamitos planning area, which includes the City, JFTB, and the community of Rossmoor. The General Plan identifies the Los Alamitos JFTB as Community & InstitutionallJFTB. The civilian reuse of the JFTB is not considered likely in the near future, and the City fully supports the base maintaining its current role for the federal and state governrrrent and the City of Los Alamitos. Although the Los Alamitos JFTB is within the City's municipal boundary, 4he City has no jurisdiction or Iand use authorifiy on this US miiitary installation. Rossmoor is included to understand future demands fior services and implications for growth in F2ossmoor and the City. However, Rossmoor remains an unincorporated community governed by the Iand use and planning authorities of the County of Orange.

The previous General Plan was adopted in 1990 and mainfained a planning horizon year of 2010. The current comprehensive update began in 2011, to reflect current conditions, refine goals and policies, and position the City for success over the next 20 years through the year 2035. l"he City will review and evaluate ihis General Plan periodically, but anticipates thaf a camprehensive updafe may be needed around the year 2025.

Generai Pian Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 8 Projected uilc! Oa t

Esfiimating the fufiure build out of the General Plan allows the City, Rossmoor, and others to plan for necessary levels of community services and infrastructure capacities. Bt does not, however, reflect a certain future or a mandate to approve development. The proposed General Pian would plan for up fo a total of 23, 003 residents, 18,430 jobs, 8, 735 dwelling units, and 8,881, 442 nonresidential square feet of developmen4 under the General Plan Update.

The theoretical buiid out was based largely on the assumption that the majority of the City and Rossmoor would not change. Some incremental intensification was assumed through small projects (e. g., adding a second dwelling unit or expanding a storefront). A handfui of parcels were idenfified as areas where rrrore substantial change could occur.

For those parcels, the City created a set of projections arad estimated the amount of development that could occur between now and General Plan build out. In addition, the proposed Generad Plan Update identifies the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training ase JFTB) as Community & Institutional/ JFTB. Again, it should be noted that although the Los Alamitas JFTB is within the City's municipal boundary, the City has no jurisdiction or land use authority on this U. S. military installation. The following table breaks down the potential build out by land use designetion and jurisdiction.

Lanci llse Changes Propose

During the General Plan update, ten ( 10) sites in Los Alamitos were determined to merit consideration for a new land use designation. The following Iists each site considered, including proposed changes, opportunities, consfraints, impacts on exisfing uses, and a general discussian. Changes were recommended on all sites except for Site 3 Vacant/Center Plaza) and Site 8 ( Flood Control). The recommended changes are

RUPOSED CF9A,NGES Current: Planned Industrial Commission Recommendation: Pianned Industrial wifih Retail Overlay

The Planning Commission has recommended that the best course of action— considering the property owner's opposition to earlier ideas—would simpiy be to allow retail business on this site as a permitted use through a retail overlay designation, and to retain the ur derlying planned industrial designation. This would not make the current use legal nonconforming, which would commence amortization and make it difficult for the property owner to receive loans to construct further improvements to the property.

The owners of the business and the property have provided written correspondence that they support this change.

The EIR studied the future development of the site as a commercial deveBopment. If ultimately deveioped with industrial uses, the Arrowhead Products site would generate fewer vehicle trips, and this change would also reduce pofential transportation, air quality, GHG emissions, and noise impacts beiow wnat was analyzed in the ElR. Additionally, the decrease in jobs would slightly decrease population and employment impacts. The recommended changas to the land use plan would not substantially increase the magnitude of existing environmentaB impacts described in the EIR, and there would not be any other circumstances requiring recirculation described in CEQA Guideiines Section 15088. 5. The recommended changes [o the land use plan described below are variations on what has a6ready been presented as they fail between the

General Plan Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 11 impacts discussed of 4he proposed project and the impacts discussed in the No Project Alternative; and therefore, represent insignificant modifications to the EIR.

Compliarsce i4h Cal'afornia Environrnen al Quality Act ( Et e4)

Pursuant to the provisions of the Caiifornia Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) a Draft Environmental Impact Report ( DEIR) has been prepared. The purpose of an EIR is to identify potential significant effects on the environment of the project, to indicate the manner in which those potential significant effects can be avoided or reduced to levels less tnan significant, and to identify the significant effects that are unavoidable. A primary purpose of the EIR is to disclose and evaluate project impacts and inform decision makers about the project.

An EIR is the most comprehensive form of environmental documentation identified in CEQA and the CEQA Guideiines and provides the information needed to assess the environmental consequences of a proposed project, to the extent feasible. EIRs are intended to provide an objective, factually supported, full disclosure analysis of the environmental consequences associated with a proposed project tha4 has the potential to result in significant, adverse environmental impacts.

The Draft Environmental Impact Report ( DEIR) addresses the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the proposed Los Alamitos General Plan Update. The California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) requires that local government agencies, prior to taking action on projects over which they have discretionary approval authority, consider the environmental consequences of such projects.

An E! R is a public document designed to provide the public and local and State governmental agency decision- makers with an analysis of potential environmental consequences to support informed decision- making. This document focuses on those impacts determined to be potentially significant as discussed in the Initial Study completed for this project (see Appendix A). A DEIR has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA.

Data for the DEIR was obtained from on- site field observations, discussions with affected agencies, analysis of adopted pians and policies, review of available studies, reports, data and similar literature, and specialized environmental assessments ( air quality and greenhause gas emissions, cultural resources, noise, and transportation and traffic).

A DEIR has been prepared pursuant ta CEQA to assess the environmenfial effects associated with implementatian of the proposed project, as we(I as anticipated future discretionary actions and approvals. The six main objectives of this document as established by CEQA are listed below:

1. To disclose to decision makers and the public the significant enviror mental

effects of propased activities.

General Plan Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 12 2. To identifiy ways to avoid or reduce environmental damage. 3. To prevent environmentai damage by requiring implementation of feasible alternatives or mitigation measures. 4. To disciose to the public reasons for agency approval of projects with significant environmental effects. 5. Ta foster interagency coordination in the review of projects. 6. To enhance public participa4ion in the planning process.

EI&3 Format The DEIR has been formatted as described below.

A Final EIR ( F BR} has been prepared, which includes comments, the responses to comments on the DEIR, and revisions to the DEIR. The City of Los Alamifios is in receipt of correspondence from eight ( 8) interested parties on the DEIR. Responses have been addressed in the Response to Comments section of the FEIR. The Comments have been provided by:

The responses to comments were circulated to commenters for a 10- day agency review period on Ocfober g`n isnpacts Censidered Less Th o Sic nificarag in #he Init6ai Study Five environrnental impact categories were identified as not being significantly affected by, or affecting the proposed Los Alamitos General Plan Update project, and as such, are not discussed in detail in the DEfR. This determination was made by the City of Los Alamitos in its preparation of the Initial Study. The following topica! issues are not addressed in the DEIR: Agriculture and Forestry Resources Biological Resources Geology and Soils Hydrology and Water Quality Mineral Resources

Po4entially Siqnificant Adar rse Irnpac#s ara the 6nitial Stiady Twelve environmental factors were identified as having potentially significant impacts in the Initial Study. These factors are discussed further in the DEIR: Aesthetics o Air Quality Cultural Resources Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards and Hazardous Materiais Land Use Noise Population and hiousing Public Services Recreation Traffic and Transportation Utilities and Service Systems

General Pian Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 15 Siqnificant tlnavo dabl Irnpacqs Ider tifiee6 in the El? The DEIR identifies eight significant and unavoidable adverse impacts -- as defined by CEQA -- that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Unavoidable adverse impacts may be considered significant on a project-specific basis, cumulatively significant, and/ or potentially significant. If the City, as the lead agency, determines that unavoidable significant adverse impacts will result from the project, the City must prepare a " Statement of Overriding Considerafiions" before it can approve the project. A Statement of Overriding Considerations states tha the decision- making body has balanced the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable significant environmental effects and has determined that the benefits of the project outweigh the adverse effects and, therefore, the adverse effects are considered acceptable.

The impacts that were found in the DEIR to be significant and unavoidable, even with

mitigation, are: Air Quality (AQI P cansistency, construction and operation air pollutant emissions, localized air quality) Greenhouse Gas Emissions (consistency with GHG reduction plans) Noise ( construction- related noise and vibration) Transportation ( local segments and intersections)

Alterraatives CEQA states that an EIR must address " a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives° ( 14 California Code of Regulations 15126.6[ a]).

Vo Projec lCurrent en ral Plar A6ternafive In the No ProjecU Current Generai Plan Alternative, the General Plan Update would not be implemented by the City. The current General Plan, including land use designations in the Land Use Element, would remain in effect. Overail, iand use designations between the current general plan and the proposed general plan are similar. However, the proposed land use plan wouid allow for more intense land uses along Katella through creation of a Mixed Use designation. Some addifiional retail employment would replace office and industrial employment through changes from Professional Office and Planned Industrial 4o Retail Business designations along Katella Avenue.

Additionally, the Mixed Use designation would create the opportunity for new residential on the upper floors of mixed use buildings around the intersectian af Katelia Avenue and Los Alamitos Boufevard. A few parcels designated for Planned Industrial near the intersection of Los Alamitos 8oulevard and Cerritos Avenue would be converted to Muiti Family Residentia9. The current general plan; however, includes an assumption af roughly 850 housing uni4s on the partion of the Los Aiamitos JFTB designated for Muiti- Family f2esidential. These housing units are not projected under the proposed General Plan Update. lJnder the No ProjecUCurrent General Plan Alternative, these changes

General Plan Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 16 would not occur. As a result, the current General Pian allows far more residential growth and less employment growth.

Impacts of this alternative would be similar to the proposed project for aesthetics, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and planning, noise, and utilities and service systems. Impacts of this alternafive would be slightly reduced compared to those of the proposed projec4 for air quality, greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions, population and housing, and traffic. This alternative would slightly increase public services and recreational impacts compared to those of the proposed project. This alternative would not reduce any significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project to less than significant.

This alternative would not provide a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan consistent with California Government Code Sections 65300 et seq. This alternative would not revise the City' s General Plan pursuant to various state requirements for general plans, for instance, Assembly Bill 1358, the Complete Stre2ts Act of 2008. In addition, althaugh this alternative would meet some of the objectives, it would not meet the project objectives to the same extent as the proposed project. The proposed General Plan Update wauld change the roadway configuration of Los Alamitos north of Katella Avenue to create a more pedestrian-friendly downtown. Consequently, this alternative would not meet the project objectives to create an attractive pedestrian- friendly downtown, introduce pedestrian bridges, maximize refiail opportunities along Kateila Avenue, reiocate City hail, or establish centralized parking options.

n reased P2es6den8ial Land tlse Al ee roative 6n the Increased Residential Land Use Alternative, the General Plan tlpdate would be updated in its current form with fihe exception of 13 acres fronting 4Catella jus4 east of Interstate 605 ( I- 605}. Approximate(y 3 acres of this site is currently occupied by public use properties (City Hall, Police Department, City Yard, Chamber of Commerce, and the Community Center), and the western 10 acres is occupied by SuperNtedia.

Under the proposed project, these parcels are proposed to be designated for commercial/ retail Iand use. Under fihis alternative, the land use plan would designate this site for muiti-family residential use ( assumed 22 units per acre) to increase the amount of residential Iared uses and improve the job-housing balance in the City. Improving the jobs- housing balance can reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT}; traffic congestion; arrd associated traffic, air qua(ity, and GFIG emissions impacts of the proposed praject.

Impacts of this alternative would be similar to the proposed project for aesthetics, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materiais, land use and planning, noise, and utilities and service systems. Impacts of this alternative would be slightly reduced compared to those of fhe proposed project for air quality, GFiG errrissions, population and housing, and traffic. This alternative wauld slightly increase public services and recreational impacts compared to those of the propased project. This alternative would

General Plan Nearing March 23, 2015 Page 17 not reduce any significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project to less than significant.

This alternative wouid meet the project objectives but would not meet the objective to rnaximize retail opportunities along @Catella Avenue fo the same extent as the proposed project.

rrourhead Prodcrc3s Site Iterna#iv In the Arrowhead Products Site Alternative, the General Plan Update would be updated in its current form with the exception to the proposed redesignation of the 28- acre site from industriai to retaii uses on the Arrowhead Products site. The Arrowhead Products facility has been a fixture in Los Alamitos for decades and is a major employer in the City. However, the site' s location along Katella Avenue, large size (28 acres), and praximity to regional retail in Cypress positions the site as a good candidate for retail development. Consequently, under the proposed project this site could redevelop if Arrowhead Products decides to move locations or change its business. Under this alternative, the Arrowhead Products site would remain designated PBanned Industrial. Industrial land uses generate Bess traffic than retaii uses, and no changes from existing conditions would occur for this parcel. Consequently, this alternative was chosen because it wauld reduce traffic, air quality, GHG errrissions, and noise impacts of the proposed project. The remaining portions of the City and Rossmoor would be built out in accordance with the proposed project.

Buildout statis4ics for the proposed General Plan Update and the Arrowhead Products Site Alternative are compared in the table below.

Arrowhead Products Site Aiternative Buildout Compared to the Proposed General Plan Arrowhead Products Site Resource Proposed Project Alternative Change Percent Change Dwelling Units 8, 735 8, 735 None None Population 23, 003 23,003 None None

Employment 18, 430 18, 010 420 2% Jobs- to- Housing Ratio 2. 11 2. 6 0.05 2%

At buildout, the existing Pianned Industrial use would generate 1, 835 average daily trips while the Retail Business would generate 11, 243 average daily trips. Consequently, this alfiernative would generafie at least 9, 000 fewer trips than the proposed Project.

Impacts of this alternative would be simiiar to the proposed project for aesthetics, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and planning, public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems. Impacts of this alternative would be slightly reduced compared to those of the proposed project for air quality, GHG emissiorrs, noise, population and housing, and traffic. This alternative would not reduce any significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project to less than significant.

General Plan Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 18 This alternative would meet the project abjectives but would not rneet the objective to maximum retail opportunities along Kateila Avenue to the sarrre extent as the proposed project. l"he Arrowhead Products Site AlYernative has been identified as the environmentally superior alternative. This alternative would lessen impacts associated with air quality, GHG emissions, noise, population, and transportatian and traffic impacts of the proposed project. The remaining impacts are generally the same as the proposed project.

The recommended changes to the land use plan would not result in new significant environment impacts. Additionally, the recommended changes to the land use plan would not substantiaBly increase the magnitude of existing environmental impacts described in the DEIR, and there would not be any other circumstances requiring recirculation described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088. 5. The recommended changes to the land use plan described below are variations on what has already been presented as they fall between the impacts discussed of the proposed project and the impacts discussed in the fVo Project Alternative; and therefore, represent insignificant modifications to the DEfR. Since the Arrowhead Products Si4e Alternative would generate at Ieast 9, 000 fewer trips and would reduce enviranmental impacts--- including transportatian, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise--- below what was analyzed in the EIR, the City of Los Alamitos, if is so desired could adopt the proposed project with the requested change to the Arrowhead F' roducts site to Planned Industrial without any additional environmental review.

Approval

Because there are significant impacts, approval of the General Plan Update requires tha4 certain findings be made and that a Statement of Overriding Considerations be adopfed.

Findinqs

There are a number of possible findings that can be made when there are significant impacts. These include:

Changes or alterations have been required in, or incarporated into, the project which avoid or substanfiially Iessen the significant environmental effects;

a Such changes or aiteratians are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and the changes can and should be adopted by another agency;

Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerafions, including provision of ernployment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternative identified in the final EIR.

General Pian Hearing March 23, 2015 Page 19 Briefly, mitigation rrreasures have b2en incorporated wherever Peasible fo eliminate ar reduce the level of significance. As stated above, even with mitigation, certain impacts remain significant and unavoidable. In most of these instances there are no changes, alterations or mitigation measures that would further reduce the impacts. In the case of the traffic impacts, the mitigation measures are infeasible du2 to the fact that the needed right-of-way would require the acquisition of property from existing businesses which would impede their operations.

CEQA also requires that the EIR identify the environmentaliy superior alternative. If that alternative is not the chosen project, then the findings must include why that alternative is infeasible.

The findings are further detailed in Exhibit C to the Resolution recommending approval of the EIR.

Statement of OverricEinq Considerations

A Statement of Overriding Considerations is a staterrrent of the City's views on the ultimate balancing of the merits of approving a project despite its environmenfal impacts and explains why the impacts of the project outweigh the significant impacts. A lead agency adopts a Statement of Overriding Considerations when the agency decides to approve a project that wili cause one or more significant environmental effects, which reflects the ultimate balancing of competing public objectives ( including environmental, legal, technical, social, and econamic factors).

A Statement of Overriding Considerations must be in writing and state specific reasons supporting agency action based on the final EIR or other substantial evidence in the record. Substantial Evidence includes facts, reasonabie assumptions predicated upon facts, and expert opinions supported by facts. Substantial evidence is not argument, speculation, unsubstantiated opinion or narrative, evidence which is clearly inaccurate or erroneous, or evidence af social or economic impacts which do not contribute to or are not caused by physical impacts on the environment. The required Statement of Overriding Consideration is further detailed in Exhibit C to Resolution 2015-05.

Nat6cing

The Notice of Availability ( NOA) for 4he EIR was sent to interested persons and organizations, sent to the State Clearinghouse in Sacramento for disfribution fo public agencies, posted at the City of Los Alamitos, and published in the News nterprise. The NOA was posted at the Orange County Clerk's office on August 7, 2014. Copies of the DEIR were made available for public review at the City of Las Alamitos and the Los Aiamitos/ Rossmoor Library. Public hEearing Notice was published in the News Enterprise on Wednesday March 4, 2015.

NOVd TF9ERE ORE the City Council of fihe City of Los Afamitos does hereby resolve as foliows:

CC RESO 2015-05 Page 4 of 9 SECTION 1. The Complete Final EIR consists of: the two voBume Draft EIR dated August 2014 and a third volume identified as Final EIR dated February 2015, which includes the cornments received an the DEIR, the responses to comments, and proposed revisions to the DEIR and two memos from Placeworks analyzing the recorrrmended changes dated Rlovember 2014. Together the three voBumes constitute the Final Program EIR, which is referred to herein as the " EIF2" ( Exhibit B).

S C' C901V 2. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the contents of the EIR and it refiects the City Council' s independent judgment and analysis.

SECI'ION 3. The City Council finds that the EIR complies with all of the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's local CEQA Guidelines and has been prepared and circulated in the manner required by law.

SECT'10 4. The City Council finds that the Project will have less than a significant impact on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Biolagical Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Mineral Resources. The support for this finding can be found in the Initial Study, which is contained in Volume 2 of the D IR.

S C'T90N 5. The City Council finds that the Project will have less than significant impacts on the following categories and that no mitigation is required for fhese impact areas: aesthetics; greenhause gas emissions, with regard fo fhe amount of GHG emissions compared to existing conditions, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and planning; noise, with regard to long-term ambient noise levels, exposure of sensitive receptors to elevated noise Ievels, and increased noise exposure from operation of Los Alamitos JFTB; population and housing; public services; recreation; transportation and traffic; and utilities and service systems. These findings are further elaborated upon and supported by the information in Section IIC of the CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations attached hereto as Exhibit C, as well as the referenced sections of the EIR and any applicable responses to comments.

SECT60 V 6. The City Council finds that the Project wi61 have significant impacts on the categories Iisted below, but that the impacts to these areas can be mitigated to a less than significant level based on the mitigafiion rneasures included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The areas that can be mitigated beiow a level of significance are: air quality, with regard to placement of new sensitive receptors near major sources of toxic air contaminanfis as

well as objectionable odors; and cultural resources. These findings and the related mitigation measures are expanded upan and suppor ed by the information in Section IID of Exhibit C, as well as irr the refere rced secYions of the EIR and any appiicable responses to comments.

SEC' fiON 7. The City Council finds that the Project will have significanfi impacts on the following categories and that although mitigation measures can be imposed

CC RESO 2015-05 Page 5 of 9 related fo some of these impacts, there are no mitigation measures which will fully mitigate the impacts below a levei of significance, leaving these impacts significant and unavoidable:

Air quality, with respect to AQMP compliance in that projected buildout will be inconsistent with SCAQMD' s AQMP. There are not mitigation measures that can be imposed for fhis impact.

Air quality, with respect to constrsaction activifiies generating a substanfial increase in short-ferm crifieria air pollutant emissions that exceed threshold criteria and cumulatively contribute to nonattainment designations of the Southern California air basin. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impacts, they cannot be entirely eliminated.

Air quality, with respect to exposing peopie to substantiai pollutant concentratians by placement of sensitive receptors near major sources of toxic air contaminants. While there are mitigation measures that can be i¢nposed to reduce fihe impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Greenhouse gas emissions, with respect to the abiiity to meet reduction targets per Executive Order 5-03- 05. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Noise, with respect to short-term ground borne vibration caused by construction activities. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Noise, with respect to short-term increases in the vicinity of naise-sensitive land uses. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Transpartation and traffic, with respect to cumulative 4raffic impacts related to unacceptable levels af service at buildout. Given the roadway constrainfs, there are no feasible mifiigation measures thafi can be imposed to reduce or eliminate the irrrpact.

These findings and the related mitigation measures are expanded upon and supported by fihe information in Section IIE of Exhibit C, as well as in the referenced sections of the EIR and any applicable responses to comments. The ifigation Measures that will be imposed are contained in Exhibit D attached hereto.

SECI' IO . In accordance with CEQA, the EER analyzed a number of alternatives which are fully described in the EIR and are summarized in Section IIF of Exhibit C. The Arrowhead Products Site Alternative, which leaves fihe 28-acre

CC RESO 2015- 05 Page 6 of 9 Arrowhead Parcel as Industrial instead of changing it to Ftetail Business is the environmentally superior alternative of those identified in the DEIR, af4hough even this alternative may contribute to significant impac4s. As further analyzed in the FEiR, the land use pattern that was recommended by the Planning Commission has the potential to have even less environmental impacts, assuming the Arrowhead Produc4s Site property remains an industrial use during the Iife of this General f' lan, which is expected based on representations from the Arrowhead Property owners.

Although the Arrowhead Products Site Alfernative, which leaves the Property as Planned Industrial, is environmentally superior, it does not fully reduce any of the significant impacts of the Project beiow a level of significance. The alternative of having a retail overiay over the existing planned indus rial has the advantage of obtaining the benefits of ttre environmentally superior alternative which will help retain the operations of a long- standing business that provides high paying and skilled jobs and is an impartant asset to the City, while providing flexibility to change the Iand use to retail if economic conditions change. The City Council finds that each of the findings set forth in the Sections above remain true and correct for the revised Land Use Pattern set forth in the 2014 General Plan, with the advantage fhat the impacts are less than analyzed for the Project.

S CTI IV 9. Prior to approving a project for which an EIR was prepared a rd water suppliers were consulted pursuant ta Section IV. B( 4) of the City's Guidelines, the City shall determine, based on Yhe entire record, whether projected water supplies will be sufficient to satisfy the demands of fhe proposed project, in addition to existing and planned future uses. The City Council hereby finds that there will be sufficient water supplies for the General Plan Update.

SECTION 0. The City CounciB finds that although changes were made to the General Plan Update since the time that the EIF2 was made availabl2 for public review, there is no need to recirculate the EIR, as further set forth in Section IIF of Exhibit C.

SECTIOFJ 11. The City Council finds that although there are unavoidable significant impacts, the benefits of the General Plan Update, as revised, outweigh the impacts, as further set forth in Sec4ion III of Exhibit C.

s CTION 12. The Cefiy Council has reviewed and considered the Project and the Environmerrfal Impact Report prepared for the General Plan Update and has considered the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts of the Project, both as originaliy analyzed and as revised. The City Council of the City of Los Alamitos hereby certifies the Environmentai Impact Report prepared for the General Plan Update which consists of the three volumes identified in Section 1 above, adopts the Findings set forth in Section II of Exhibit C, adopts a Statement of Overriding Considerations as set forth in Section fll of Aftachment C, and adopfs the iV6itigation N9oniforing and Reportir g Pragram for the Project as set forth in Exhibit D.

CC RESO 2015- 05 Page 7 of 9 SEGTION B3. The recitals are 4rue and correct and are incorporated by reference herein.

SECTIOhI 14. The Cifij Council finds that all availabie documentation is available within the Community Development Department at fhe City af Los Alamitos, 3191 Kate la Avenue, Los Alamitos, CA 90720. The custodian of records is the Community Development Director.

PJOW THEREFORE the Planning Commission of the City of Los Alamitos does hereby resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. The Complete Final EIR consists of: the two volume Draft EIR dated August 2014 and a third volume identified as Final EIR dated October 2014, which includes the comments received on the DEIR, the responses to comments, and proposed revisions to the DEIR and two memos from Placeworks analyzing the recommended changes dated November 2014. Together the three volumes constitute the Final Program EIR, which is referred to herein as the " EIR."

PC RESO 14- 31 Page 4 of 9 SECTION 2. The Planning Commission has independentiy reviewed and considered the contents of the EIR and it reflects the Pianning Commission' s independent judgment and analysis.

SECTION 3. Tn Planning Commission finds that the EIR compiies with ail of the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's local CEQA Guidelines and has been prepared and circulated in the manner required by law.

SECTION 4. The Planning Commission finds that the Project will have less than a significant impact on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Biological Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Mineral Resources. The support for this finding can be found in the Initial Study, which is contained in Volume 2 of the DEIR.

SECTION 5. The Planning Commission finds that the Project will have less than significant impacts on the following categories and that no mitigation is required for these impact areas: aestnetics; greenhouse gas emissions, with regard to the amount of GHG emissions compared to existing conditions, hazards and hazardous materiais, land use and planning; noise, with regard to long- term ambient noise levels, exposure of sensitive receptors to elevated noise levels, and increased noise exposure from operation of Los Alamitos JFTB; population and housing; public services; recreation; transportation and traffic; and utilities and service systems. These findings are further elaborated upon and supported by the information in Section IIC of the CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations attached hereto as Exhibit A, as well as the referenced sections of the EIR and any applicable responses to comments.

SECTION 6. The Planning Commission finds that the Project will have significant impacts on the categories Bisted below, but that the impacts to these areas can be mitigated to a less than significant levei based on the mitigation measures included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The areas that can be mitigated below a level of significance are: air quality, with regard to placement of new sensitive receptors near major sources of toxic air contaminants as

well as objectionable odors; and cultural resources. These findings and the related mitigation measures are expanded upon and supported by the information in Section IID of Exhibit A, as well as in the referenced sections of the EIR and any applicable responses to comments.

SECTION 7. The Pianning Commission finds that the Project wili have significant impacts on the following categories and that aithough mitigation measures can be imposed related to some of these impacts, there are no mitigation measures which wili fully mitigate the impacts below a level of significance, leaving these impacts significant and unavoidable:

PC RESO 14- 31 Page 5 of 9 s Air quality, with respect to AQMP cornpliance in that projected buildout will be inconsistent with SCAQMD' s AQMP. There are not mitigation measures that can be imposed for this impact.

Air quality, with respect to construction activities generating a substantial increase in short-term criteria air polluYant emissions that exceed threshold criteria and cumulatively contribute to nonattainment designations of the Southern California air basin. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impacts, they cannot be entireiy eliminated.

Air quality, with respect to exposing people to substantiai pollutant concentrations by placement of sensitive receptors near major sources of toxic air contaminants. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Greenhouse gas emissions, with respect to the ability to meet reduction targets per Executive Order S- 03- 05. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Noise, with respect to short-term ground borne vibration caused by construction activities. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

o Noise, with respect to short-term increases in the vicinity of noise- sensitive land uses. While there are mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce the impact, the impact cannot be entirely eliminated.

Transportation and traffic, with respect to cumulative traffic impacts related to unacceptable levels of service at buildout. Given the roadway constraints, there are no feasible mitigation measures that can be imposed to reduce or eliminate the impact.

These findings and the related mitigation measures are expanded upon and supported by the information in Section IIE of Exhibit A, as weil as in the referenced sections of the EIR and any applicable responses to comments. The Mitigation Measures that wiil be imposed are contained in Exhibit B attached hereto.

SECTION 8. In accordance with CEQA, the EIR analyzed a number of alternatives which are fully described in the EIR and are summarized in Section IIF of Exhibit A. The Arrowhead Products Site Alternative which leaves the 28 acre Arrowhead Parcel as Industrial instead of changing it to General Business is the environmentally superior alternative of those identified in the DEIR, although even this alternative has significant impacts. As further analyzed in the FEIR, the land use pattern which was recommended by the Planning Commission has the potential to have

PC RESO 14- 31 Page 6 of 9 even less environmental impacts, assuming the Arrawhead Products Site property remains an industriai use during the life ofi this General Plan, w3 ich is expecfed basad on representatia s from the Arrowhead Property owners.

Aithough the Arrowhead Products Sife Alternative; WhICII leaves the Property as Planned lndustriai, ls enviranmental(y superior, it does not fuliy reduce any of the significanf impacts of fhe Prnjecf below a Ievel of significance. 7he P(anning Commission' s alternative has the advantage of obtaining the benefits of the environmentaily superior alternative WlliCh wifl help retain fhe operatfons of a long- standing business fhat provides high paying and skiiled jobs and is an important asset to the City, whila providing ffexibility to change the land use to retaii if econamic conditions change. The Planning Commission finds fhat each af the findings set forth in the Sections above remain true and correc# for the revised Land Use Pattern. with the advantage that the impacts are less than analyzed for fihe Project.

SECTiC2t 9. Prior to approving a project ior which an EIR was prepared and water suppliers were cansultied pursuant to Secfion iV.B(4} of the City's Guidelines, the City sha(1 determine, based on the entire record, whether projected water supplies will be sufficient ta satisfy the demands of the propased praject, in addition to exisiing and planned future uses. The Planning Commission hereby finds fihat Yhere will be sufficient wefer supplies for fhe General Plan Update.

SECTIC9 0. The Planning Commission finds that aithough changes were made io the General t lan Updafe since the time that the EI was mede available for pubfic review, there is no need to recirculate the EIR, as further set forfh in Section 11 F of Exhibit A.

SE 7'!(7 @ 7i. The Planning Commissian finds that although there are unavoidable significant impacts, the benefits of the General Pian Update, as revised by fhe Planning Commission' s alterna#ive Land Use Pattern, autweigh the impacts, as furCher sef forfh in 6ection I1[ of Exhibit A.

sECT9C9h& 12. Recommendation of the Planning Commfssion: Pursuant to its obligafions under 14 Cal. Code Ftegs. § 15025{ c}, fhe Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the Project and the Environmenfiai Impact Report prepared for the General Pian Update and has considered the significant and unavoidable environmenta( impacts ofi the Project, bofh as originally analyzed and as revised. The Los Alamitos Planning Commission, recommends that the City Cauncil of the City af as Alamifios certifij the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Generaf Plan Update which consists of the fhree valumes idenfified in Seciion 1 above, adopt the Findings set farth in Secfion il of Exhibifi A, adapt a 8tatement of Overriding Considerations as set fo fih in 5ecfion iIl of Attachmenf A, and adopt the Mitigafion onitoring and Reparting Pragram for the Project as set forth in Exhibif B.

Impact 5. 7- 1 The General Plan Update would not result in a substantial long-term increase in ambient noise levels generated by vehicle traffic.

SupporC for this envixonmental impact condusion is lully discussed in Secrion 5. 7, Nozre, and in parficular, staxting on page 5. 7- 18 of theDEIK.

Future developrnent in accoxdance with the piopoced Genexal P1an I;pclate would cause mcteases in traffic along local oadways. Tn community noiac assessments, a 3 dBA (A-weigl ted decibel incxease is cunsidered " barely pecceptible," and ino-eases over 5 c{BA are gene allp considered " readily percepti} le" ( Calteans 2009). Noise- sensiuve tesidenrial uses are considered nomiallv aeceprable undex ambient noise condiuons of 60 dBA epmmunity noise eqwvalent 1eve1 ( CNBL).

6. Population and Housing

Impact5. 8- 1: The proposed project would result in an increase of 1, 385 people and 3, 770 employees in the City of Los Alamitos and Rossmoor; however, the General Plan Update accommodates future growth in the City by providing for infrastructure and public servicestoaccommodatethis projectedgrowfh.

Support for tl is envitonme Ta1 usipact conclusion is fullv discussed in Section 5. 8, Pvjulation and Ho rin o, ; nd in particular, scarting on page 5. 8- 8 of ehe DF'iR.

Housing and Population Growth

The Geneial Plan LJpdate would pesmit development of a nee inctease of up to 532 residential units for a tota7 of 8, 735 units, whid would tesult in a net increasc of 1, 385 pcople in the Citv and Rossmoot. At General Plan Update buildout the estimaeed cotal population oF Yhe <: it} and SOI would be 23, 003, a 6.4 peirent,iucicasein populaeion 6om esisring condinons.

The Forecast popvlauon of thc City and Rossnioor at Grne ral Plan buildout ould sfi htiv exceed the exisfing regional populanon foiecast for 2035 ( 2, 653 persons) by 350 pexsons, c r 1. 5 pexcent. 7'he estimaPed nuinbei of housing umts in the Cit} ancl Rossmo r at General ' Plan bw] louL would exceecl the ekt ting segional housing foieeact Eor 2035 ( 8, 150 units) b 587 units, oi 72 percent. H we er, Genetal Pla;s lipdate bu,ildout could occu after the 2U35 h> rizon. Thus, Phe mcceases ui p pulation and housui due to Ueneral Plan Update buildout comnared r rcgional fo ecasts for 2035 would not b a substai tial adverse i npact.

' Iherefore, the inaease in employment dne to General Plan lipdate buildout compared to xegional foxecasts fot 2035 wonld not be a substantial aclvetse unpaet.

Jobs- Housing Balance

The jobs-housing balance in Z,os rllamitos and the SOI would l7e 2. 11, an increase of 0. 32 jobs perr housing unie compued to 2013, which means the City of Los illainitos would continue to dzaw a 1a ge daytimc population due to the amount of empioymene-gener2ting land uses in che City. SC1 G policy aims to balance jobs and I ousing wirhin the xegions, not witPiin specific cities or commuuilies. Theiefore, the ailalvsis oE impacYS on jobs-housing balance ls foL coinparison only; che impacY would not be a sizqniEeant unpact undei CEQA.

Fiuding: ImplemenPation of [he Genetal Plan Update would diiecfly indnce population and emplo menC growil7 in the area. Howevei, the General Plai Update accommodates fi. ture , eowth in the City by pioviding F r iiifiastiucmie and publ,ic seisiees to accommoda e rhis pmjecced growth. Theeefoce, unplementahoi of the pioposed projcct would tesult in a less tlian si iificant impact' reladng to popularion and emplo3 ment giowth.

7. Public Services

Impact 5. 9- 1: The proposed project wouid introduce new structures and residents into the Orange County Fire Authority service boundaries, thereby increasing the requirement for fire protection facilities and personnel. However, sufficient revenue wouid be available for necessary service improvements to provide for adequate fire protection (staffing and facilities) upon buildout of the General Plan Update.

Los llamitos GeaeialPlan Update

Cl,(. A Findins s of Pact avd tieatemen[ oE 71 - Overiiding Consideiations D. CONCLUSION

Th City Councii of Los Al;amitos has balanccd the project's i euefits, es revised by the Plannuzg Commissioi, against the signifcant unavoiclable imj acts. Tbe Ciry Council finds rhat the projec s benefits of updaring the current Geneial Pian ( which was adopted in 1990 with soine signifieant updates ± n 2000) outweigh the project's s,ibifcai t unavoidable impacts, and those unpacts, theiefore, aie consiclered acceptable in light of the piojec s benefits. T'he City Gouncil flnds thae each oE die benefrts described above is an oveiziding considuation, independene of die other benefiCS, That warcants approvel oE the project nohvithstandii. g the piojecc' s significant unavoiCtable iinpacts. 1'he Cicy Coundl addirionally finds that t}se fact that these significant impacC vould occur, even undei the esisting General Plan, fnidiex weighs in favoi- oE adopting an u} dated Geneial Plan that bettei ir eets tl e Cit} c needs and complies with legal requuements.

1. 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The psoposed Ntoject is an update to the Citn of I,os Alamieos Geneeal Plan. The Los Iilamitos Uenexal Plan Update is inteuded to provids guidance fox long term b:owth, maintenance, and pxeseYVarion in the City ovec the next 20- plus ti e. nrs. i1s statecl aboce, the Geueial Plan Update also includes the communit oE Rossmoor as par[ of [ he City's SQI ro understand Eutuce demands fox setvices and in plications Eor gcowth in Rossmooi and Ihe City. ' lhe Los ?, lamitos Geneiat Ptan Update addcesses the cequiied elunents and one optional elemenr. Land Lse; L;conom,ic Development; Open Space, Recxeation, and Conservanon; Mobility and CitculaPion; Housmg; Pubhc } aciliries and Safety; and Giowth ManagemenL.

I'he proposed Iand use plan would allow Eot up to a total of 23, OU3 tesidents, 18, 430 jobs, 5, 735 dwelling units, and 8, 8& 1, 442 nonresidenual square Eeet oF development under the General Plan Update. ' I1 e theorencal buildout was based largely on thc: assumpnon that the majotity of [ he Citv and Rossmooi would not change. Some uicremental mtensification was assumed duougl'i ssnall pio ects ( e. g., adding a seconcl dwelling unit o expandin a sto- efxont). t1 h; ndfiil of parcels were identified as areas whexe more sabst2ntial change could ocew. F or those pa,rceis, the City cieated a set of projections and esrimated the xmount of develupment that could occur betwcen now and General Plan builclout. In addition, the p±oposed Geneial

Plan Update identfies Yhe S. os _9laimros JPT 3 as Communirn & Institufioual] P'1B. Howevei; it should be noted that whiic the Los Alamitos) F113 is widiiu the Citq's munic,ipal t'>oundary, the City has no jw isdiction or land nse authoiity on clvs li.S. inilieaiy installation.

Site 10 - Arrowhead Praducts Chan in from Planned Industrial to Retail Overla Owner Parcel Number Address Arrowhead 241- 241- 09 4411 Katella Avenue Arrowhead 241- 241- 10 4411 Katella Avenue Arrowhead 241- 241- 11 4411 Katella Avenue Arrowhead 241- 241- 08 4411 Katella Avenue

Plannina Commission Recommendation: Leave property as Planned Industrial, but add a Retail Overlay. This recommendation is based on the need to retain the Planned Industria/ designation for Arrowhead Products which is one of fhe City's top employers and has been a presence in the City for more than 60 years. Additionally, Arrowhead Products provrdes high-paying jobs for skilled workers. Testimony was also received from Arrowhead and its representative that they do not plan on changing the use of fheir. property and have been informed by market professionals that it would be difficult to use the fwo northern undeveloped parcels for retail uses based on the site configuration of the entire 28 acre property. The Planning Commission feels that it is necessary to retain the Planned Industrial designation to allow Arrowhead Products the ability to expand its business as necessary and make use of the undeveloped parcels. However, the Planning Commission also believes that retail uses could be appropriate along Katella Avenue and wishes to streamline the ability to develop the property for retail uses should the opportunity arise.
