Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment Criteria SECTION 3 Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment Criteria 3.1 Senate Bill 375 The State of California adopted Senate Bill (SB) 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, to outline growth strategies and better integrate regional land use and transportation planning, which will help the State meet its greenhouse gas reduction mandates. SB 375 requires that the State’s 18 metropolitan planning organizations incorporate a “sustainable communities strategy” with their respective regional transportation plans to achieve their respective region’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the metropolitan planning organization that has jurisdiction over the Project Site. For the SCAG region, pursuant to SB 375, CARB set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that were updated in 2018 to an 8 percent reduction by 2020 and a 19 percent reduction by 2035 in per capita passenger vehicle GHG emissions, which became effective October 1, 2018.1 On April 7, 2016, SCAG adopted the 2016‐2040 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 RTP/SCS): A Plan for Mobility, Accessibility, Sustainability, and a High Quality of Life. The 2016 RTP/SCS outlines strategies that meet or exceed these targets set by CARB.2 For the SCAG region, CARB gas set greenhouse gas reduction target to eight percent below 2005 per capita emissions levels by 2020, and 13 percent below 2005 per capita emissions levels by 2035. On June 28, 2016, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65080(b)(2)(J)(ii), CARB accepted SCAG’s determination that its 2016 RTP/SCS would, if implemented, achieve CARB’s applicable GHG reduction targets.3 1 California Air Resources Board, SB 375 Regional Plan Climate Targets, https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our- work/programs/sustainable-communities-program/regional-plan-targets.

Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment Criteria 3.2 Transit Priority Project Criteria SB 375 provides CEQA streamlining benefits to transit priority projects (TPPs). A TPP is a project that meets the following four criteria (Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21155 (a) and (b)): 1. Is consistent with the use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in SCAG’s 2016 RTP/SCS; 2. Contains at least 50 percent residential use, based on total building square footage and if, if the project contains between 26 percent and 50 percent nonresidential uses, a floor area ratio of not less than 0.75; 3. Provides a minimum net density of at least 20 units per acre; and 4. Is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor included in the 2016 RTP/SCS. Consistency with Criterion 1: Project uses designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the Project Area in SCAGʼs 2016 RTP/SCS. Use Designation, Density, and Building Intensity As discussed above, for the SCAG region, CARB has set GHG emissions reduction targets to 8 percent below 2005 per capita emissions levels by 2020, and 19 percent below 2005 per capita emissions levels by 2035. The 2016 RTP/SCS outlines strategies that meet or exceed these targets set by CARB4 and balances Southern California’s regional future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental and public health goals.5 On June 28, 2016, CARB accepted SCAG’s quantification of GHG emission reductions from the 2016 RTP/SCS and its determination that the 2016 RTP/SCS would, if implemented, achieve the 2020 and 2035 GHG emission reduction targets established by CARB.6 For the reasons stated below, the Project is consistent with the land use designation, density, and building intensity in the SCAG 2016 RTP/SCS. Land Use Designation. For the 2016 RTP/SCS, using data collected from local jurisdictions, including general plans, SCAG categorized existing land use into land use types, then combined the land use types into 35 Place Types, and then classified the 35 Place Types into one of three 4 Southern California Association of Governments, 2016–2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, Introduction, April 19, 2012, http://scagrtpscs.net/Documents/2016/final/f2016RTPSCS.pdf.

Accessed May 29, 2019. 7940 Lankershim Boulevard Project City of Los Angeles 3-2 SCEA August 2020 3. Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment Criteria land use development categories (LDCs): urban, compact, or standard.7 SCAG used each of these categories to describe the conditions that exist and/or are likely to exist within each specific area of the region. (2016–2040 RTP/SCS, pp. 20-21.) SCAG notes that the LDCs utilized in the RTP/SCS are not intended to represent detailed land use policies, but are used to describe the general conditions likely to occur within a specific area if recently emerging trends, such as transit-oriented development, were to continue in concert with the implementation of the 2016 RTP/SCS. The Project Site is located in an area that is within a “Standard” Land Development Category (LDC) (refer to Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2). The RTP/SCS defines the “Standard” Land Development Category as areas that comprise the majority of separate-use, auto-oriented developments that have characterized the American suburban landscape for decades. Medium- and larger-lot single-family homes comprise the majority of this development form. The Project’s scale, location, and mixture of land uses would be consistent with the Standard Land Development Category place type, as the Project would provide a transition between higher density, mixed-use development along Lankershim Boulevard and single-family homes to the east. Along the main corridor of North Lankershim Boulevard, the Project would focus more active uses; including ground floor commercial uses, the residential lobby and pedestrian and vehicle entrances into the Project. Facing east towards single-family residences, only residential uses are planned and no commercial uses, signage, or pedestrian or vehicle access would be located in this area. Density. The Project Site is located within an urbanized area within the City of Los Angeles, within Sun Valley-La Tuna Canyon Plan Community Plan. The Project is an infill mixed-use project that proposes the development of a seven-story mixed-use development consisting of 432 multi-family residential units and approximately 22,000 square feet of ground floor commercial uses. The 2016 RTP/SCS identifies the HQTAs as appropriate for including high‐density development, supporting pedestrian and bike infrastructure, reducing parking requirements, and retaining affordable housing near transit.8 The Project Site is located within a High Quality Transit Area (HQTA) as defined by SCAG and a Transit Priority Area (TPA) as defined by SB 743, which supports transit opportunities and promotes a walkable environment. The Project Site is well served by public transit and the Project’s location along a mixed-use corridor and onsite commercial and residential uses would encourage the use of transit, walking and bicycling. Consistent with land within a HQTA, the Project would be developed at a greater intensity than the development that currently exists on the Project Site and would set aside 11 percent of its total residential units (48 affordable units) for Extremely Low or Very Low Income Households. The proposed Project promotes pedestrian activity and bicycling activity by providing landscaping along the public right-of-way, outdoor courtyard area, and outdoor green space and walking paths. The proposed Project is similar to other developments within a HQTA. 7 http://scagrtpscs.net/Documents/2016/final/f2016RTPSCS.pdf, p. 20. 8 http://scagrtpscs.net/Documents/2016/final/f2016RTPSCS.pdf, p. 25. 7940 Lankershim Boulevard Project City of Los Angeles 3-3 SCEA August 2020 3.

The findings are documented in the Health Atlas for the City of Los Angeles (Health Atlas), published in June 2013. While the primary focus of the Health Atlas is on factors that affect the health behaviors and the health status of residents and workers, much of the data is relevant to land use transportation and GHG emissions as those topics involve similar issues regarding land use patterns, urban design, and transportation systems.

  • Sustainable Communities Environmental Analysis
    SECTION 6 Sustainable Communities Environmental Analysis The following discussion provides responses to each of the questions set forth in the City of Los Angeles Initial Study Checklist as adjusted for use as a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21155.2(b) and 21159.28. This analysis assumes all applicable mitigation measures (MMs) from the RTP/SCS are incorporated. Where applicable, project specific project design features (PDFs) and/or MMs are identified in the analysis to help reduce or avoid significant impacts on the environment. 6.1 Aesthetics On September 27, 2013, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 743, which became effective on January 1, 2014. The purpose of SB 743 is to streamline the review under CEQA for several categories of development projects including the development of infill projects in transit priority areas (TPAs). Public Resources Code Section 21099 (a)(7) defines a TPA as an area located within 0.5 miles (2,640 feet) of a major transit stop that is “existing or planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program adopted pursuant to Section 450.216 or 450.322 of Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations.” As defined in Public Resources Code Section 21064.3, a major transit stop is a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.1 PRC Section 21099(d)(1) states that a project’s aesthetic impacts shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment if: 1.
