In March 2007, the CRA/LA staff conducted a visual survey of the area to determine if the area met the physical requirements of adopting a redevelopment project. Copies of that survey as well as maps of the area are attached for the Councilmember's review. The CRNLA staff is available to meet with the Councilmember and his staff, as well as the Housing, Community and Economic Development committee, to present and discuss of the survey. REPORT ON LAX GATEWAY AREA - WINDSHIELD SURVEY Agency staff, at the request of Council District II, recently conducted a visual survey of an area located east of the Los Angeles Intemational Airport (LAX) and north and south of the Century Boulevard Gateway Corridor in an effort to determine if the area met the physical requirements of adopting a redevelopment project, and to identify opportunity site(s) for a proposed conference center. On March 22 & 28, 2007 planning staff conducted a windshield survey of a 1,442 acre area bounded by Sepulveda Boulevard on the west, Arbor Vitae Street to the north, La Cienega Boulevard to the east and Imperial Highway to the south (Study Area). For security and safety reasons, staff could not travel upon and visually inspect a large (approximately 627.5 acre) City owned parcel located south of Century Boulevard and west of Aviation Boulevard, which is the LAX southem runways and various commercial airlines services and cargo facilities. The purpose of the windshield survey was to examine and quickly evaluate the Study Area's current physical conditions of buildings and public infrastructure against criteria that describes physical blight under Califomia Redevelopment Law (CRL). Section 33031 of the CRL describes physical and economic blight as: "(a) This subdivision describes physical conditions that cause blight: (l) Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work. These conditions can be caused by serious building code violations. dilapidation and deterioration. defective design or physical construction, faulty or inadequate utilities, or similar factors. (2) Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by a substandard design. inadequate size given present standards and market conditions. lack of parking. or other similar factors. (3) Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the project area. (4) The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership. (b) This subdivision describes economic conditions that cause blight: (1) Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including, but not necessarily limited to. those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use of agency authority as specified in Article 12.5 (commencing with Section 33459). (2) Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates. high turnover rates, abandoned buildings. or excessive vacant lots within an area developed for urban use and served by utilities. (3) A lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods. including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions. 1 (4) Residential overcrowding or an excess of bars, liquor stores, or other businesses that cater exclusively to adults, that has led toproblems of public safety and welfare. (5) A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to thepublic safety and welfare. " Major roadways, street corridors and freeways within or adjacent to the Study Area include Sepulveda Boulevard, La Cienega Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Aviation Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, the Glenn Anderson Freeway (1105), the San Diego Freeway (I 405), and Century Boulevard; a major vehicular corridor providing direct access to the LAX Central Terminal Area. The Study Area is highly impacted by and used for Airport services aud facilities. Uses include Airport employee and patron surface parking lots, aircraft service and storage hangers, and the southern airfield runways. Century Boulevard, and a portion of Airport Boulevard south of West 96th Street, contain the area's high-rise first class hotels, commercial office buildings and local retail facilities. Industrial buildings and uses are distributed generally in three areas; (1) northwest of La Cienega Boulevard at Imperial Highway, (2) south of Century Boulevard between La Cienega and Aviation Boulevards to approximately W. 104th Street, and (3) south of Arbor Vitae Street between Aviation and Airport Boulevards to W. 98th Street. Many of the major automobile rental facilities are located in this third industrial area. Refer to Attachment A for a generalized land use map. Two residential neighborhoods are located within the Study Area; they are locally known as "Manchester Square" and the "Airport/Belford Area". Manchester Square is located north of Century Boulevard and south of Arbor Vitae Street between Aviation and La Cienega Boulevards. The Airport/Belford area is located east of Airport Boulevard between Arbor Vitae Street and W. 96th Street. Manchester Square is approximately 132 acres in size, and the AirportlBelford area is approximately 22 acres. The Manchester Square area, under the Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan Alternative D, is the site for a proposed Ground Transportation Center (GTC). The facility would serve all commercial and private vehicnlar traffic for departing and arriving passengers at LAX away from the existing Central Terminal Area (CTA) as a means to increase safety and security to the airport. Additional research has found that the City of Los Angeles and City Airports owns approximately 938 acres (65% of the Study Area) and 543 parcels (59%) out of the 923 parcels in the Study Area (see Attachments B & C). Other major land holders in the Study Area include Airport Holdings LP Lessee, Neutrogena Corporation, and AMB Institutional Alliance to name a few. 2 CITY PROGRAMS IMPACTING THE STUDY AREA Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the primary commercial air transportation hub of the Los Angeles region and is the dominant U.S. international gateway to the Pacific Rim. LAX is the 3rd busiest airport in the U.S. in terms of aircraft operations and the world's 5th busiest in passenger numbers. The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has prepared a Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan for modernization and future airport operations, including expansion requirements, safety and security mitigation measures, and movement of people and vehicles as related to the airport. The Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan Program was adopted by City Council in December 2004, and followed by the Federal Aviation Administration's Record of Decision approval in May 2005. The implementation of the Los Angeles International Airport Master Plan will have a significant physical improvement affect

Information is provided on regulatory requirements related to traffic and transportation, existing traffic conditions in the area, existing public transit service, and the potential change to these conditions that would result from implementation of the proposed Project. The impact analysis addresses potential construction impacts as well as the impacts of development of the proposed Project. Based on this analysis, a comprehensive program to mitigate the impacts of the proposed Project is identified and described. This section incorporates information from the Transportation Study for the LAX Northside Plan Update dated October 2013, prepared by Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc. This study is provided in Appendix E of this EIR. 4.14.2 Environmental Setting 4.14.2.1 Regulatory Framework 4.14.2.1.1 State California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) regulates and maintains state and interstate transportation facilities (state routes, highways, and freeways, etc.) in the State of California. Caltrans sets maximum load limits for trucks and safety requirements for oversized vehicles that operate on highways. Construction activities associated with the proposed Project involving transportation of equipment and materials on State of California facilities would be subject to the State of California Code, Division 12, Part 5, Chapter 1, Article 4, Section 31060, titled “Construction on Rights of Way.” Caltrans recommends that large-sized trucks transporting construction materials and equipment be limited to off-peak commute periods and any heavy construction equipment that requires the use of oversize transport vehicles on state roadways or facilities would require a Caltrans transportation permit.
