The Project Site is comprised of approximately 28.1 acres ofland encompassing four distinct subareas (see Figure S-1 of the Dratl: EIR): • Arena Site: The approximately 17-acre Arena Site is the central part of the Project Site and is bounded by West Century Boulevard on the north, South Prairie A venue on the west, South Doty A venue on the east, and an imaginary straight line extending east from West l 03rd S lreet to South Doty Avenue to the south. The Arena Site includes an approximately 900-foot pmiion of West 102nd Street; • West Parking Garage Site: The approximately 5-acre West Parking Garage Site is located across South Prairie Avenue from the Arena Site, bounded by West Century Boulevard to the north, hotel 17077001 4847-6266-0032.1 DRAFT (June 12, 2020) Page [PAGE] of [ NUMPAGES] Confidential - Attorney/Client Privileged Subject to Revision and residential uses to the west, South Prairie Avenue to the east, and West 102nd Street to the south. The West Parking Garage Site includes an approximately 300-foot portion of West lOlst Street; • East Tramportation and Hotel Site: The approximately 5-acre East Transportation and Hotel Site is located 650 feet east of the Arena Site and is bounded by West Century Boulevard to the north, industrial and commercial uses to the east and west, and West 102nd Street to the south; and • Well Relocation Site: The approximately 0.7-acre Well Relocation Site is located on the south side of West 102nd Street, approximately 100 feet east of the Arena Site, and is bounded by vacant land to the west and south and residential uses to the east. All but six of the parcels (approximately 23 acres) that make up the Project Site are currently vacant or undeveloped. The vacant or undeveloped parcels were acquired and cleared by the City between the mid- 1980s and the early 2000s with the support of grants issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to the City of Inglewood as part of the Noise Control/Land Use Compatibility Program for Los Angeles Airport (LAX). The six developed parcels, approximately 54,098 square feet (sf) (2.9 acres) all within the Arena Site, include a fast food restaurant (on a privately-owned parcel), a motel (on a privately-mvned parcel), a warehouse and light manufacturing facilities (on two privately owned parcels), a commercial catering business (on a privately-owned parcel), and a groundwater well and related facilities (on a City-owned parcel). Another 1.5 acres consists of street segments to be vacated and incorporated into the Project Site. The Project would develop the following key elements (see Table S-1 and Figure S-2 of the Draft EIR): • An 18,000-fixed-seat arena (Arena Structure or Arena) suitable for National Basketball Association (NBA) games, with up to 500 additional temporary seats for other sports or entertainment events, comprised of approximately 915,000 sf of space including the main performance and seating bowl, food service and retail space, and concourse areas. The Arena Structure also includes an approximately 85,000 sf team practice and training facility, an approximately 25,000 sf sports medicine clinic, and approximately 71,000 sf of space that would accommodate the Los Angeles (LA) Clippers team offices. Contiguous to the Arena Structure would be an approximately 650-space parking garage for premium ticket holders, VIPs, and certain team personnel. The Arena Structure would be a multi-faceted, ellipsoid structure that would rise no higher than 150 feet above ground level. The exterior of the building would be comprised of a grid-like fac;ade and fQQfthat WQuld be highly visible, distinctive, and instantly recognizable due to a design unique in the City and the region, especially at night when it would be accentuated by distinctive lighting and signage. The fac;ade and roof would be comprised of a range of textures and materials, including metal and glass, with integrated solar panels that would reduce event day peak loads. The Arena Structure would open onto a plaza that would serve as a gathering and pedestrian area for arena attendees. The plaza would include a number of two-story structures that would provide up to 48,000 sf of commercial uses including retail shops, and food and drink establishments, and up to 15,000 sf of flexible community space k1r educational and youth-oriented uses.

    Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report Chapter 4.0 - Affected Environmental and Environmental Consequences 4.9 Water Resources This section evaluates the potential for changes in water quality to occur as a result of the proposed project and identifies measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate potential water quality impacts, if applicable. The information in this section is based primarily on information readily available from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. 4.9.1 Regulatory Framework 4.9.1.1 Federal Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S. Code 1251-1376) The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 first prescribed a regulatory system for establishing water quality standards applicable to interstate or navigable waters. In 1972, amendments to this Act established a system of standards, permits, and enforcement. Further amendments were passed in 1977, when the Act was renamed the Clean Water Act. Today, the Clean Water Act is the nation’s primary mechanism for protecting and improving water quality. The Act makes the states and the USEPA jointly responsible for identifying and regulating both point and non-point sources of pollution. The 1987 amendment to the Clean Water Act added Section 402(p) that requires the USEPA to develop regulations for the control of nonpoint source discharges, such as urban storm water runoff. The goal of the Clean Water Act is to eliminate the discharge of pollutants and to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nations' waters. The Act also established the NPDES permit system.

  • History and Architecture Tour6-5-15.Indd
    SELF GUIDED TOUR: INGLEWOOD’S ARCHITECTURE AND HISTORIC SITES The story of Inglewood begins with the Centinela Springs located in Edward Vincent, Jr. Park. The naturally occurring water was what enabled the area to become an agricultural area specializing in barley, then eggs, and even chinchillas. One of the few original farmhouses is the Centinela Adobe which now houses a large collection of historical artifacts and a museum run by the Centinela Valley Historical Society. From a historical perspective, the Inglewood Cemetery casts a wide net as 400,000 people are buried there, many origi- nally from Inglewood, many from the LA Basin. The single family house is often considered the iconic building type in Los Angeles. The City has been on the forefront of cutting edge house design since the turn of the century when Frank Lloyd Wright headed west to design the Holly- hock House. Rudolph Schindler came to LA from Vienna, initially to work with Wright. He built many houses throughout the city including three in Inglewood which though small, reflect some of the ideas percolating in the architectural com- munity: the relationship between inside and outside, small spaces with low ceilings, total design by architects, simple materials such as plywood. One of the houses was renovated by Steven Ehrlich, a Culver City Architect whose firm won the AIA National Firm Award in 2015. Another architect who built some of his major works in Los Angeles in Inglewood was Charles Luckman. He had an extraordinary impact on the city as the designer of the Forum which was just renovated and reopened in 2014 and the Civic Center.
