developme~~ standa~ds set approprlate llmlts to ~on-~esldentla:
developmem: In ':ne commercIal and IndustrIal zon~ng dlstrlcts,
outslde the speCIfIC plan areas of the CIty, In order to allow non-
resldentlal growth In amounts suffICIent to keep the CIty flsca~:y
sound, and at a level that wlll protect the health and welfare of
CIty resldents and malntall- qualIty of Ilfe standards.
(3) The Clty Councll :lnds -:.:1at the proposed commercIal
de7elop-ment s""l:andards requlre floor area ratIO squa~e footage
~ed-.:.ctlons for:- large parce:s In the C2, C4, C5, C6 and BCJ
corn:nerClal d~strlcts In order to reduce the SIze and Impact 0::
large de7e=-opmer.ts.
(4) The Clty Ccunc~l flnds that the proposed commerCIal

e
e
deve:opment standards reqUlre that for proJects In the BCD dIstrIct
a~Q for proJects on parcels 0: ~5,000 square fee~ In the C4 and C6
Q~S~rlcts, the eXlstlng permlt~ed square :ootage shall be reduced
by 3C% unless 30% of the proJect lS used for resldentlal
cevelopment, In order to provIde expanded houslng opportuDltles ~n
the CIty, and to Improve the Imbalance between Jobs and hOUSIng
that eXIsts In Santa MonIca.
(5) rhe Clty CounC11 Ilnds that whlle Increases In vehIcle
t~lpS generated by develof~ent unde~ the proposed cowmerclal
aeve::"op:r.ent s"Candaras would create s::..g::nf"ICa:1.i: lmpacts at 115

eXIst::..ng Transportatlon XanageTent Program ordInance and the
trafflc Impact fee program Lr.der preparatIon. Further, even tno~gh
It lS antlc~pated that SIgnIfIcant traffIC Impacts would ~e~aln
after full l~plementatlon of the mltlgatlon measures, tp-e proposed
commerCla::" aeve].opnent standards alternatIve would provlde the
opportunlty for ~on-resldentlal growth In amounts sufflclent to
keep the C~ty flsca~ly sound, and also expand houslng opportunltles
In the Clty, to Improve the Imbalance between Jobs and hOUSIng that
eXIsts In Santa Monlca.
(6) The Clty Councll flnds that whIle the Increases In
~ehlcle trIps generated by development under the proposed
3
e
e
cornrnerClal development stanaards wou:i.d, In turn, generate alr
quaIl ty Impacts fro:n mobIle emISSIons, compllance Wl th the AIr
Quallty Management Plan and the Clty'S AIr Quallty Element would
Bln~mlze alr qualIty Impacts. Further, the lmpacts under any of
the a~~ernatlves wo~ld stlll be slgnl:lcant due to eXlstlng
exceedances of alr quallty standards In the South Coast A~r BaSIn.
SECTION 2. The CIty CouncIl fInds that most Impacts resultl~g
from -:he pro] ect can be reduced to an acceptable :i.evel. J\..ll
slgn~flcant envIronmental effects as Identlfled be:ow can feaSIbly
be avolded and have been ellmlnated or substantlally lessened. The

{g} The Flnal EIR deterrruned that Wl thout I'll '.:lgatlon the
proJect could result In slgnlflcant Impact to Solld waste
generatlon. The SOlld waste generated by the pro] ect would
:~c~ease the Clty'S total SOlld waste generatlon at oULldout by 21
percent. C02s1steLt wlth Ar~lcle VI, Sectlo~ 12 of the Clty CEQA
GUldellnes, the C~ty Councll flnds ~hat the followlng ml~lgatlon
~easures have been requlred In the proJect WhlCh wlll avold or

envlronmenta: reVlevl by the Cl ty WIll also be evaluated for
aQQ:~~o~al mltlgatlo~.
(h) -:'he ?:.na~ EIR determlned -:hat wIthout ill 1 tlgatlon tr.e
proJ eet could result In slgnlflcant Impact on pollce serVIce.
Based on a serVIce ratlo of 2.2 offlcers per :,000 populatIon, the
pro] ect wou::"d reqUIre an addItIonal 8.8 offIcers at bu:ddoLlt.
Conslstent WIth ArtIcle VI, Sect~o~ 12 of the CIty CEQA GUIdellnes,

p~=-\'-ate securlty guards, securlty cameras, etc.) that can De
Incorporated Into the proJect deslgn to reduce the need for pollce
serv::.ces.
\ =- : The FInal EIR de::ermlned that WI thot:t ml tlgatlon ;::he
P~oJ ect could result In s=-gnlflca:tt Impact on fIre serVl.ces.
B~=-ldout under the proJect would generate the need for four to fIve
aad=-t::.onal fIre flghters. ConSIstent WIth Artlc~e VI, Sectlon 12
of the Clty CEQ_:f\.. GUldel:..r..es, the CIty CounCIl :Inds that the
followlng mltlgatloc Teasures ~ave been requlred ln ;::he proJect
wh::.ch w~ll avold or s~bs::antla1~y ~essen the potentla1 slgnlflcant
envlronmenta~ effects Identlf=-eQ wlth respec:: ::0 flre serVlces:

11
e
e
mlDlffilze the nUIT~er of emergency response calls to structures.
(2) The Clty sha~l contInue the reVlew of development
s~~e plans and the lnspectlon of eXls~lng occupled structures by
~~e ?lye PreventIon and EducatIon DIVISIon of the Flre Department.
(3) PrIor to lssuance of bUlldlng permIts, each
IndIVIdual proJect shall be reqUIred to demonstrate adequate flre
flow gIven the land use, SIze, and type of constructlon of the
proJect, o~ prov~de for Infrastructure ~mp~ovements to allow
adequate fl~e flow, as deter~lned by the FIye ~epartment.
(J) The FIDal EIR determlned tnat ,,-:! thoJ~ rn tlgat.:.on the
pro~ec~ could result In s~gnlflcant Impact to tne school system.
The proJect would generate the heed for new student capaCIty of
1,521. CODs.:stent w:: th Ar'::lcle VI, Sectlon 12 of -che Cl ty CEQA
GUIdelInes, ~ne CIty COUDCll flLQS that the follOWIng mltlgatlon
measures have been reqUIred ln the pro] ect WI:lch 'v.nll aVOId or
substantlally lessen the potentlal slgnlflcant envlror.mental
effects ldent:fled WIth respect to the school system:
(1) ~he Cl ty of Santa Mor..:ca shall consult Wl tn. i:!1e
Santa Monlca-Mallbu Unl:led School Dlstrlct regardlng the
pro=ectlons of resldentla: developKent as a result of new zonIng
standards on an annua~ DaSlS to e~sure that school facllltles are
avallable wher.. r.eeded.
12
e
e
(k) The Flnal EIR deterrnIled that Wl thout m=- tlgatlon the
pro] ect could resul t l~ slgnl f=-cant Impact to the parks and
recreatIon facllltles. Based o~ a ratlo of 2.5 acres per 1,000
populatIon, the proJect would requlre 10 addltlonal acres of parks
at bUlldout. Co~slstent WIt~ Artlcle VI, Sectlon 12 0: the Clty
CEQA GUlde~lnes, ~~e CIty COunC1I flCds that the folloWIng
~~tlgatlon measures have bee~ requlred ln the proJect WhlCh wlIl
avo=-a or substantlally lessen the potentlal slgnlflcant
env~ronmental effects ldentlfled Wl th respect to the parks and
recreatlon:
(1) PrIor to the next General Plan upda::e, the CIty
shall estanllsh reqLlrements for property redevelopment on large
parcels to l~clude publlC open space ar.a/or park uses.
'2) PrIor to the next General Plan update, the CIty
sna::"=" lTIVestlgate the potentlal for addIng small "nocJ<.et parks" or
lInear parks wlthln the do~~town area.
SECTION 3. The F~nal ErR =o~~a that developmen~ allowed under
the proJect would result In slgnlflca~t lTIpacts even after
illltlgatlon at 115 IntersectIons In the A.M. peak perlod and 134
l::~ersectlons In the P.M. peak perIod. These l~,pacts would be
yed0ced by co~pllance w~tn eXls~lng and future Clty pollcles and
programs, Includlng tne eXlst~Lg Transportatlon Management Program
ordInance and the ~rafflc l~pact fee program under preparatIon.
13
e
e
However, It IS antIcIpated that slgnlflcant trafflC Impacts would
remaIn after full lmple~entatlon of the ffiltlgatlon measures because
of the number of lmpacts and :::he lack of avaIlable phYSIcal
mltlgatlons at many locatlons.
SECTION 4. ~he FInal EI? round tha~ development allowed under
t~e proJect would Impact alr quallty even after ffiltlgatlon. Whlle
lncreases In vehlcle trIpS generated by development as permltted by
the proJect would produce aIr qualIty Impacts from mobIle
e~lSSlons, complIance wlth the Alr Quallty Management Plan would
ffilnl::fil ze aIr qualIty lrnpac::s. Any addl t10nal emlSSlons WhlCh
res~lt from any of the development alternatlves WOJld be conSIdered
SIgnIfIcant as the South Coast AIr BaSIn already generally exceeds
fede~al alr quallty standards.
SECT=O~ 5. ~he FInal EI? found that the proJect would resuit
In slgnlflcant Impacts to trarflC clrculatlon and alr qual~ty even
after mltlgatlon measures have been Implemented. Co~slstent WIth
rlrtlc:e VI, SectIon 13 of the Clty CEQA GUIdelInes a~d SectIons
:5C9: and 15093 of the State of Callfornla CEQA GUldellnes, the
CIty Cour-C1I tereby ~aKes a StateIT.ent of OverrIdIng Conslderatlons
and flnds tha~ the be~e:lts of the proJect outwelgh ItS unavoldable
envlronmenta~ lrnpacts based on ~~e followlng reasons:
(a) T:le proJect wlll allow =or development opportunItIes
WhlCh Wlll preserve eXIstl~g Jobs and create new JOD opportunItIes
1~
e
e
and produce new houslng ~r.~ts;
(b) The proJect W:~_ set approprlate ~l~ltS on non-
resldent:al development :n the corrnerclal and Industrlal zonlng
dlstrlcts, ou~slde the speclflc plan areas of the C~ty, and allow
non-resldentla::" growth In amoLlnts sufflclent to keep the CIty
flscally sound, and at a leve~ ~hat wlll protect the health and
welfare of CIty resldents and ~alntaln quallty of lIfe standards.
(C) The proJect wlll requlre floor area ratlo square footage
rectuctlons for large parcels In the C2, C4, C5, C6 and BCD
cornmerclal QIstrlcts In order to reduce the Sl ze and lrr.pact of
::"arge developments.
~o) The proJect lin~_ requlre that for proJects In the BCD
dlstrlC1.: and =or proJects or. parcels of 15,000 square feet or more
In the C~ and C6 dlstrlcts, 30% of the permltted square footage may
only be used for resloentlal developmer.t, In order to provlde
expanded ~ouslng opportunlt~es In tee Clty, ar.d to Improve the
Imbalance between Jobs and hOUSIng that eXIsts Ie. Santa Monlca.
(e) WhIle the r.~~er 0= vehIcle trIps generated by
development under the proposed commerclal development standards
would create slgr:l:lcant IFDacts a:. :':'5 ln~ersectlons In the
mornlng peak ho~r a~d 134 Intersectlons ID the afternoon peak hour,
these ImpaCtS r,.;ould be reduced by complIance WIth eXIstIng and
15
e
e
fut~~e Clty pollcles and p~ograms, ~ncludlng the existlng
Transpor~atlon Manage~ent Progra~ ordlnance and the trafflC Impact
fee program ~Lder preparat~on. Further, even though It IS
antICIpated that slgnlflcan~ traffIc Impacts would remaIn after
=J~~ ~mplementatlon of the rr~tlgatlon ~easJres, ~he proJect wo~ld
prov~de the opportunl ty for non-res:.dent~a'::" growth lrL amOilnt::s
S~::lclent to keep the Clty flscally sound, and also expand hOUSIng
oppOr~Jr.ltles In the CIty, ~o Improve the Imbalance between Jobs
and ~OUSILg ~nat eXIsts l~ Santa ~onlca.
(f) Wn~ le the ~ncreases In vehlcle trlps generated by
developme~t under the propcsed commercla~ development standards
wculd, In ~urn, ge~erate alr qualIty lffipacts froE ~oblle emlSS~or.S,
compllance wIth the Alr Quallty Management Plan ar.d the Clty'S AIr
Q~all~Y Element would mlnl~lze aIr qualIty Impacts. Further, the
l~pacLs under any of the a~~ernatlves would Stl~: be SIgnIfIcant
due :0 eXlstlng exceedances of aIr qualIty standards :.n the South
Coast Alr BaSlr..
SECTION 6. In the event that any 0: the adverse envIronmental
lmpacts Identlfled In tl:.e Flnal EIR are not consldered
s~bstantlally mItIgated wlthln Lhe meanlng of Artlcle VI, Sectlon
13 of the Cl~Y CEQA GUldellnes, and Sectlon :5093 of the State of
Callfornla CEQA GUIdelInes, the Clty Co~nCll flnds chat the
