The proposed project involves the construction of a hotel, two drive-thru restaurants, and an undetermined fourth office/retail structure. ● The land area of the site that will be occupied by the hotel (herein referred to as Parcel 1) will consist of 92,114 square feet (2.11 acres). The proposed hotel will consist of four stories and will contain a total of 91 guest rooms. The hotel will have a total floor area of 50,744 square feet. ● The land area of the parcel that will be occupied by the first drive-thru restaurant (herein referred to as Parcel 2) will consist of 39,924 square feet (0.92 acres). Parcel 2 will have a total floor area of 2,730 square feet and will be located on the southwestern portion of the project site. ● The land area of the site that will be occupied by the second drive-thru restaurant (herein referred to as Parcel 3) will consist of 32,188 square feet (0.74 acres). This second restaurant will have a total floor area of 2,166 square feet and will be located on the southeastern portion of the project site. ● The land area of the site that will be occupied by the fourth office/retail building (tentative medical office), referred to as Parcel 4, will consist of 20,718 square feet (0.47 acres).

PAGE 3 INITIAL STUDY AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION IMPERIAL HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL CENTER ● 701 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY ● CITY OF LA HABRA ● Vehicular access to the proposed development will be provided by two driveways connections located on the north side of Imperial Highway. One driveway will be located along the westernmost portion of the project site and the second driveway will be located in the middle of the project site, where a new left-turn lane and signal will be installed subject to the approval of Caltrans. An additional 26-foot wide driveway easement will be integrated into the project design. This driveway easement will be located in the northwest corner of the site and will connect to Leslie Street through the adjacent property. ● A total of 34,510 square feet will be dedicated to landscaping. This landscaping will be provided throughout the site’s interior and along the Imperial Highway frontage. FINDINGS: The environmental analysis provided in this Initial Study indicates that the proposed project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. For this reason, the City of La Habra determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA document for the proposed project. The following findings may be made based on the analysis contained in the attached Initial Study: ● The proposed project will not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment. ● The proposed project will not have the potential to achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. ● The proposed project will not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable, when considering planned or proposed development in the City. ● The proposed project will not have environmental effects that will adversely affect humans, either directly or indirectly. The environmental analysis is provided in the attached Initial Study prepared for the proposed project. The project is also described in greater detail in the attached Initial Study.

The pertinent questions are: 1. Which neighborhood or neighborhoods have the most immediate and correctable traffic concerns? 2. How can the City identify which neighborhood(s) should receive immediate attention? 3. What are the processes to be followed by the public and staff in recommending and deploying traffic calming technique(s)? 4. How should the implementation and maintenance phases be funded? 5. What monitoring method(s) should be used to measure the long-term effectiveness of the deployed traffic calming technique(s)? These five questions are the basis for the formation of the Whittier’s Traffic Calming Policy. Introduction The City of Whittier is nestled on the southern slope of Puente Hills and bordered by three (3) major interstate freeways: Interstate 605, Interstate 5, and the Pomona (State Route 60) Freeway. The backbone of the City’s roadway network is the arterial system consisting of Colima Road, Whittier Boulevard, Lambert Road, Painter Avenue, Beverly Boulevard and Norwalk Boulevard. These roadways provide access to motorists between the freeways and the local street system. As a result of the continuing growth in this region, the surrounding freeways and some of the City’s arterials have been experiencing an increase in congestion.

  • Joanne Medrano
    Let’s Take a Walk Down Whittier Boulevard: The Significance of the Whittier Boulevard Merchants Association as Community Builders in East Los Angeles Joanne Medrano By the early 1970s, the Mexican American community of East Los Angeles had begun to develop and cultivate their ethnic identity.1 Through this process, the Chicano community started to address concerns within their neighborhood, and as a result several groups in East LA used Whittier Boulevard, as a cultural and social space to promote their own agendas and objectives. Most notably, Chicano activists asserted claim over the space during the Chicano Moratorium and the Brown Berets gained political influence by setting up a free community clinic on the street.2 At the same time, Chicano youth cruised the Boulevard as a way to express their 1 The term Chicano as it is used in this paper refers to the generation of Mexican Americans who began to use the term to express their identity. Before the Chicano Movement, the term had negative connotations. In the 1960s, Mexican American youth reclaimed the term to express their shared cultural and ethnic identity. The term also took on political meaning as this group began to cultivate a political consciousness. I use this term explicitly throughout the paper to represent this specific meaning; as such, it should not be assumed that it is interchangeable with the term Mexican American. 2 For more on the Brown Berets, see Dionne Espinoza, “'Revolutionary Sisters:’ Women’s Solidarity and Collective identification Among Chicana Brown Berets in East Los Angeles 1967-1970.” Aztlán. 26, no.

    GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.
