Park~ng Structure C and 16`h Street Parking Lot 8 is located on the s~#e of
Park~ng Structure B, wh~ch was clemolished as a result of damage from the
1994 Northridge earthquake
The 57,350 square foat parcel is bounded by Parkmg Structure A to the north,
the access road aRd Parking Structure C to the east, the Factlity Ser~ices
Department and atFtletic fieEd to the south, and 16t" Street to the west The
proposed Municipal Poo! facility will consist of a 5Q meter (164 feet) by 75 foof
competition pool, and an approximately 80 faat by 75 foot instructianal and
recreat~onal pool ln addition, an approximately 1,500 square foot ~ool
equipment building, an approx~mately 2,200 pooi storage and equipment
building and 7,50~ square foot aquatic buitding are proposed
An Environmental lmpact Report has been prepared for this pra~ect which

feet and approximatefy 13 feet of plastic sound baffle modules The sound baffle modules
are clear plastic quadrants, s~mi~ar to glass block, placed ~n a sol~d cvfored frame The
preliminary landscape plan mcludes a v~ne cover for the sound wail, some lawn area ~n the
mteno~ of the facility, as well as xer~scape plantings The mtent is to preserve the existing
trees on site where feasibEe The one story pool storage buildmg at the southern ecige of
the site also mcfudes a secondary poal entrance and paol equipment roams

AI~lALYSIS
Backqrou~d
The City's recent Iong-range planning process for open spa~e and parks identified the
need for improved and expanded aquat~cs facilities as a top community prEOrity In
response, the City Cour~cil approved the appr~priation of $3 9 mili~an in the City's FY
1997-98 Ca~ital fmpro~ement Program Budget to replace the City's existing pool facility
iocated on the Santa Mon~ca College campus The plan cal[s for a 50-meter pool, an
adjacent smalfer instructional pool, and a new showerllocker building Or~ginally, it was
assumed that th~ pro~ec# would ~e constructed within the exis#mg faotpnnt of tF~e current
Municipaf Pooi site, located within #he northwestern sec#ion of the campus
In tf~e wake of the ~orthr~dge Earthquake, whrch damaged a number of key buildmgs on
the campus, the College initiated a master planning process to gu~de the phys~cal

.r ~. _ ~~, t~ ~
reconfiguration af the mam campus to best m~et its educational missian Th~s effort has
involved numerous commun~ty mee#ings and facus groups to assess issues and priaritEes
and evaluate a range af land use options The process culminated in review and action
by the Santa Monica College Baard of Trustees earlier this year Supporting the inclusion
of the new Municipal Pool on the College campus, the master plar~ning effort identified
several potent~al s~tes for the p4ol that would meet the College's goal to create a unified
and efficient campus iayout and also meet the City's desire for an expanded aquatics
faality that is physically accessible ta the public As part of t~eir master plan process. the
Cvf~ege publrcly presented two frnal srte opt~ons for the pool
Rebuiiding the paal on the ex~st~ng site in the interior of #he campus, ~esulting m the
rebuild~ng ofthe demalisF~ed Parking Structure B at its pre~rous 16th Street locatior~,
whrch is currentfy temporary surface Parking Lot $ Parking Structure B was a four
story strwcture with 374 parkrng spaces that was severely damaged in the 1994
Northndge Earthquake and s~absequently demolished Access was pra~ided from
161h Street
2 Rebuilding the poal on the site of surface Park~ng Lot $ and on the ad~acent green
space at the edge of the Coffege campus along 16`h Street, combined with the
expansion of Pa~king Structure C on a port~on of the old poal s~te Relocation of tF~e
Municipal Pool facil~ty to t~~s site would preclude the recanstructivn of Parking
Str~c#ure B on the s~te where ~# was or~gmaNy lacated T~rerefore, constructror~ o~
a replacement structure with a minimum of 374 spaces elsewhere on #he Colfege
campus would be necessary
In September 1997, the C~ty Council approved the award of a consultant contract for the
design of the new pool facility to Killefer, Flammang, P~rtill Arch~tects with Rowley
Internationa! as pool sub-consultants Since then, the following activitEes have #aken place
Two cammun~ty meetings ta iRtroduce the cammunity to the prolect and the ir~~t~a!
program and to further assess neighbarhood and community issues to supplement
the outreach efforts conducted by SMC
2 A prelimir~ary evaiuation of the two sEte op#ions includmg a determmation of
what facil~ties could be accommodated an each site, prel~minary analysis of noise
and circulation impacts and possible mitigatio~s, and preliminary cost estimates

Deveiopmenf Agreement
A De~elopment Agreement is a cantract between the Ci~y and a de~eloper wh~ch
authorizes the type and amount of development wEthin a specif~c periad of time Typrcally,
~n Santa Monica, deweloprx~ent agreements have prov~ded developers -nnth guaranteed
development rights m exchange for public benefits A development agreement mus~
comply with the General Plan and Specific Plans b~t can supersede zon~ng regulations by
estabEish~ng its own specific set of de~elopment standards
The G~#y and the S~r~ta Monica Callege Board of Trustees entered into a Development
Agreement ~n No~emb~r, 1989 to set forth the design and construction requirements for
two parking str~ctures, Parking Structures A and C, both a# which were completed as
described in the Agreement The preferred site for the Municipal Poof facil~ty has been
rdentifred as the open space on the western edge af the campus, adlacent ta Parkmg
S#ructures A anc~ C The 1989 Development Agreement go~erns develapment in thES area
In order to build on thas site, the existing Deveiopment Agreement must be amended
The Development Agreement amendme-{~ aftached ta this re~ort ~s the dacument
proposed by The C~ty of Santa Monica a~d the Santa Manica College Board of Trustees
The doc~ment outlines the parameters #or the specifc Municipa! Pool facility for which the
~." "t~:~l
attached F~na! Env~ronmental Impact Report was prepared The C~ty recognizes that the
Colfege is undergo~ng an extensive master pfanning process and the Munic~pal Paot facifity
is ane part af this pro~ect The Master Plan pro~ects were considered as par# of the
cumulative pro~ects in th~ M~nicipal Pool enviranmental analysis The College would like
to expand ex~stmg Parking Structure C to rep(ace the parking spaces that werE fost when
S#ructure B was demolish~d as well as #o provide add~tionai parkGng spaces S~nce Park~ng
Structu~e C was authorized by the 1989 De~elopmentAgreement, any modificat~on to this
structure would requrre a separate De~elopment ~greement Amendmer~t Such an
amendment can or~ly occurfoilowing completion of additional en~ironmental ana~ysis once
the College completes the parking structur~ expansion schematic design
The Development Agreement amendment sets fortf~ all the develo~ment standards,

Urban Devefapment (HUD} ha~e discr~tionary appro~al of federal funding for portions af
this praject, an EA was prepared to satisfy federal environmental review requirements
Althaugh a ~omt dacument was prepared, the City only tak~s actior~ on the EI R Therefore,
onfy the EIR is referenced ~n this stafF report
Copies of the draft EI R were distribu#ed ta the City Counc~l and notices of a~ailability were
sent to Plannmg CommESSion members at the beginnmg of the 45 day public review periad,
which clased on October 16, '1998 A totaf of 3 camment letters were rece~~ed These
comment letters, as well as the response to comments, are included m the final EIR One
comment letterfrom the Grant Gardens Hameowners Association was submitted after the
close of the comment periad (Attachment ~) Th~s camment letter addresses the potentraf
neighborhood impacts of specific elements af the pra~ect design The letter states the
Association's preference for the propased pro~ect, whic~ has no exit on#o 16th Street, that
the no+se barrrer should be constructed along the north, west aRd sauth boundar~es of the
Municipal Pooi facrl~ty, and that a(I the mitigation measures in the DEIR should be
implemented The Assocaation also requested that fhe Santa Mon~ca College parkmg
structures be oper~ on tF~e weekends wher~ #he Mur~~c~pal Pool factJriy ~s ~n ~se, that tne
secondary entrance be mon~tored at all tirnes and be strictly for coflege use, and that the

af construction of the Municipal Pool fac~lity
No unmitigatable impacts were identified ~n the areas of Air Quality, Noise, Artificiai Light
Shade/Shadow, Aest~etics, Police Protection, Construction Impacts, artd Neighbor~ood
Effects With adoptEan of the recommended mrt-gatio~ measures, the EiR determined that
th~se impacts could be reduced to belaw a significan# le~el As discussed belaw, the or~ly
sign~fican# impact that could nat be mitigated was in the area of TrafficlAccess/Parking
relating to additional tri~s on ne~ghborhoad streets
Traffic
The EIR defermmed that the pro~ect would result m a sign~ficant neighbor#~ood impact that
could no# be mitigated due to increased traific on 1 fi~'' Street The City has stric# standards
by which traffic impacts to the neEghborhood are analyz~d The significanc~ criteria for
n~~ghborh~od trafFic rmpacts defines the adclitron af any new tr~ps to a res~dential street
which h~ -~aily ~olumes greater than 90 percent of capacity as signif~cant As '14th,'i6th
and Pearl Streets currently function at greater than 90 percent capacity, the additian a# any
new trrps generated by t~e pool ~roject result ~n s~gnif~cartt ne~gFtbarhood trafftc ~mpacts
.:.~ - ~,~~
that caRr~ot be mct~gated The praposed pro~ect, wtth no i65~ Street access, wauld add 21
average daily trips on weekdays, and 17 average daily tr~ps would on weekends, to 16`„
Street Of these additional trips, only 14 wou[d occur along 16`h Street
Due to the increase ~n tr~ps, which canno# be m~tigated, a Statement of Overrid~ng
CansGderati~ns would be requ~red to approve the propased pro~ect Staff believes tt~at the
public benefit of relocating ofthe Municipal Poo~ to this site, enabling the 374 spaces from
Parking Structure B to be replaced at the ~nterior af the callege campus and thereby
reducmg rmpacts an ad~acenf neighbors, autweighs the traffic ~mpacts of an additional 21
daffy trips tfl the immediate ne~ghborhood
Alternatives
The ElR also cflnsidered alterna#~~es ta the proposed pro~ect, as follows
The no-pro~ect alternati~e assumes the replacement of the Pooi ~acility on the
existin~ srte, and the replacement vf the Parkmg Structure B ot~ ~ts former srte,
resulting in greater impacts in all ca#egor~es except for Polrce Protect~on and
Cons#ructio~ Impacts than the propasE d pro~ect with na '! 6~h Street access
2 The EIR studied two alfernate options for the 16'h Straet site inbound access only
from 16th Street, or outbound access only to 16th S#reet In analyzing these options
the EIR determir~ed that the proposed pro~ect is the environmentalEy superior
aptian with the #ewest impacts {Attachment F, Final EIR, Tabfe 54, p VI-4) Both
alternati~e access options had grea#er impact far Traffic, Access and ParKing, and
Neighborhood Effects
PUBLIG NOTiFICATION
Pursuant ta Mun~cipal Code Sect~on 9 48 11 D, notice of the public hearing was mailed to
alf owners and residential and commercial tenants of property located w~t~in a 5D0 #oot
radius of the pra~ect site and published m the Argonaut at least ten consecuti~e calendar
days prior ta #he hearing A copy of the not~ce is contai~ed in Attachment C
In additian, the City has held a total of 3 neighborhood meetings on the proposed pro~ec#
an introduction of the pro~ect to the community on Novem~er 6, 1997, a design workshop
an December 4, 1997, a~d a#ocus group meeting an October 7, 1998 to review the plans,
modei and DEIR
CanclusGan
The propased Mur~icipal Pool pro~ect is an ~xpa -~ed aquatic facility t~ yt will bene#tt botl~
City res~dents as well as college students The facil~ty ~rouides two po~Js rather than one,
including a full size recreatian and instruction pool, wh~ch responds to the community
9
u~ -~;~~
pr~onty for mcreased recreational aquatic factlit~es identified during the Parks and
Recreatian Master Plan process The proposed paal facility will better serve the
community by allowing expanded swimmmg programs fhat use both poois simultaneously,
as wefl as ~ro~iding a new buElding for changing roorns and showers The proposed
campe#itian ~ool better serves College needs by allowing for competitive sw~m meets In
addition to the benefits provided by a new and expanded Munieipal Paof facility, the 16'r
Street pro~ect s~ting permits the College th~ opportunity to replace Parking Structure B by
expand-ng Parking Structure C at the inter~or of the Gollege campus, which will F~ave fewer
neighborhoo~ traffic impacts due #a elim~nat~on o~ ~ehicular entrances on 16th Street
Add~t~onalty, thrs proposaf w~uld reduce narse, a~r qual~ty and s~adow rmpacts, as a four
le~el parki~g structure would not be focated a# the campus perimeter where it would be
visible ar~d audible to #he neighborhood By locating the Munic~pal Pool at thts s~te, tF~e City
and the Colfege can provide an enhanced pool fac~l~ty, as well as implement th~ Collega
Master Plan's oblecti~e to locate the replacement parkrng structure at a si#e which wifl
reduce ~mpacts to the surrounding neighborhoad
RECOMMENDATION
It is recomrnencfed that the Planning Commission take the fallowmg actions
Recornmend that City Council adopt a Statement of Overndmg Considerations and
certify t~e F~nal Environmental lmpact Report evaluating the environmental
impacts of the pro~ect as proposed in the Dev~lopment Agreement
2 Recommend #hat City Counc~l approve the De~elapment Agreement Ame~dment
as proposed with the folEowing ~indmgs, which ~nclucfes approval of the protect
plans
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FIND~NGS
The proposed Developrnent Agreement is consistent with the ob~ectives, polic~es,
general fand us~s and programs specified in the general plan anc~ a~y appl~cable
spec~fic plan, in that the pro~ect is consistent w~th ~and Use Element P~hcy 1 11 1,
which states
"Encourage development of par~CS and recreat~on facrlrties
to meet the needs of both res~dent and day time popuiation
with par~~cuiar attentian to rniddie siz~ parks and piay iots
geared to families with children "
As proposed, the Municipal Pool facility will provide a valuabie recreatron factlity
that serves t~oth the res~dential comm~nity of local fam~lies and cifizens as well as
the overlapp~ng day t~me and res~dential community of Santa Mon~ca Colfege
students The proposed design, whrch mcludes both the shallow instructionl
ia
- u ~ ~
recreatEOn ~ool des~gned for sa#e use by chrlcEren, and the large, full s~ze
competitian pool, which pravides for the needs of the coilege students as well as
adult swimmers, complies w~th t1~~s Land Use Eiement policy by prov~ding a
recreat~onal fac~lity for both families and mdi~~duafs
A new Munic~pai Pool facil~ty will also addrESS the community prior~ty for the
expans~on of recreat~onal aquatic facifities identifted in the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan process, and the Master Plan strategy of developing a new
compet~ti~e ar~d ~nstructlorral paol complex at Sar~ta Mon~ca College Qraft Open
Space Element Pol~cy 2 2 encaurages the expansion af open space thraugh
shared use of certam facihties, and Policy 2 3 encourages the Empro~ement of
school sites as public open spaces The Municipal Poal facilify meets boff~ af fhese
pol~cies by impraving on #he pubfic paol facilrt~es and creating a new aquatic center
at the Sant Monica Callege campus
The Municipal Pool Faciiity is also cansister~t with Land Use Ob~ective 1 1, ta
improve the qual~ty of life for all res~dents by prov~d~ng a balance of land uses, and
encourages making Santa Monica a more chdd-friendly enviranment !~y praviding
recreational fac~l~ties
2 The propased De~elopment Agreement is compatible with the uses author~zed in
the distnct in which the real property is located, in that the sub~ect property is
located in the R2 district, wh~ch permits 6oth public parks and school uses, and is
also located in the P~~lic E.ands Overlay District, which p~rm~ts recreational
facilities
3 The praposed Development Agreement Amendment is in conformity w~th the
putal~c necess~ty, p~bl~c coRVer~ience, general weltare, anc~ good land use
practices, in that it allows for the relocatian of #he Municipal Pool to a s~te where
the development of the pool use wil! have ~ewer impacts on the ad~acent
neighborhood fhan the rebuilding of a faur fevel parking strucfure at tF~e si#e TF~e

NECESSARY TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SANTA MONlCA COLLEGE
AUTHORIZING THE DEVELOPMENT O~ THE MUNIClPAL POOL REPLACEMENT
PROJECT, ADOPTING A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATI4NS, AND
ADOPTING A MITlGATION MONITORING PLAN
WHEREAS, tf~e City Council has cert~fied an En~ironmental Impact Re~ort for the
Santa Monica Munic~pal Paal Replacement Pro~ect,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE C1TY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS
SECTION 1 Cons~stent with Article VI, Sect~on 12 of the City of Santa MonECa
CEQA Guidelines and Sections 15091 and 15Q92 of the State of California CEQA
Gui~lel~n~s, th~ City Cauncil fnds that most impacts resultmg fram #he pro~ect can ~e
reduced to an acceptable feWel There are no significant impacts identified for artificial light,
shacfels~adaw, aesthet~cs, pofice protection, canstruc#ion impacts, and neighbarhood
effects In add~t~on, the significant enviror~mental effects, in the areas of a~r qua~i#y and
nase, as identified m th~s Sec~ion below, can feasiblely be elimmated or substantially
reduced to belaw a le~el af significance Finaffy, as detailed ~n Section 2, mitigations are
.T
~ { . f
recommended for the remaining unavoidable significant effects in the areas of traffic.
However, #hese impacts cannot feasiblely be a~aided or m~tigated ta below a level of
significance Ne~ertheless, these unavo~dable impacts are found to be acceptable d~ae to
overriding considerations as drscussed in Section 5
(~) The final EIR determmed that without mrtigation, the pro~ect cvuld have a
patentially significant effecton airquality during construction. Gonstruction Im~acts rekated
to air quality would be reduced ta a level of insignificance Consistent with Ar#ic[e V[,
SectEOn 12 of the C~ty of Santa Monica CEQA Guidefines and Section 1~091 of the State
CEQA Guidelines, the Ci#y Counci! f~nds #hat the foliowmg mitigation measures wh~ch have
been required in the pro~ect wi11 mit~gate or reduce the construction ~mpact of the pro~ect
on air quality ~o below a level af significance
{1) Contractors shafl use water or ather effective dust controf ineasures to
reduce fugEt~ve dust emissions
(2) Frequent s~t~ clean-up near the access dr~~eway sha[I be performed to
prevent track-out of dirt that cauld be pulverized by pass~ng cars
(3} D~ring construct~on the maximum practical distance buffers between semi-
stationary on-site equ~pment such as generators, compressars, etc and the
nearest pollution-sensitive uses at homes across 16th Street and instructional
class rooms shal~ be maintained
(4} Construct~on related soil disturbance activities shail be terminate~ during
Sar~ta Ana wind conditions, or ~ase contEnuous watermg for dust abatement
(b) The final EIR determined that w~thout mitigation, the pro~ect could result in
signi#icant nase ~mpacts wh~ch could ~mpact surrounding uses Cvnsistentwith Article IV,
Section 12 of the C~ty af Santa Monica CEQA Gu~delines and Sec~ion 15099 of the State
2
a - _ 3 ~ t
i
CEQA Guidefines, the Crty Counci~ finds that the followmg mitigation measures whfch have
bEen required m the pro~ect will mitEgate or reduce the noise impacts of the pro~ect to below
a level of signi#'ECance
(1 } A noise barr~er of no more t~an 18 feet m heigh, measured from existing
grade shall be constructed to break all I~nes-of-sight betweer~ the ~ra~ect site
and residences ta the west Ir~ addit~on to extending along the western
~oundary of the site, the barrier shall f~e located along the southern
boundary T~e pedestrian entrance shall be des~gned w~th e~ther a baffle
(o~erlapped) panel or cons#ructed to wrap around the northern edge of the
s~de unt~i na line-of-sight relat~onship rema~ns to any residence west af 16tn
Street
(2) No swim mstruc~ianal acti~ities in~olving the use of attention-getting de~ices
such as whistles, bull-homs, shout~ng, etcetera, shall occ~r before 7 a m on
weekdays ar 8 a m on Saturday or Sunday
(3} Gates shall remain closed or~ swim meet days until 8 a m tv deter early
arri~al or p~act~ce
(4} No amplified sound or music shall b~ used before 9 a m or after 7 p m
unless use af such equipment can be demonstratecf to be maudible at tF~E
closes# residences
SECTION 2 Cansistent with Art~ele VI, Sect~on 12 of the City of Santa Monica
CEQA Gu~delmes and SectGOn 15D91, 15092, and 15093 of the State of California CEQA
Gu~delines, the City Council finds that the significant environmental effects as identified
befow can be reduced but car~not feas~blely be ava~ded or mitigated to below a le~el of
s~gnificance Nevertheless, these impacts are found to be acceptable due to overriding
considerations as discussed in Sect~on 5
(a} The final EIR determ~ned that without mit~gatian, the pro~ect would result in a
s~gniffcant neighborhood impact due to mcreased traffic an Pearl, 14`~' and 16th Streets t~at
3
''` - 1 U.
:
could not be mitiga~ed The additronal trips, both cumulative and those generated by the
pro~ect would result in 0% increase for Pearl Street 0 3% ir~crease for ~4th Street and 0'(
% increase far 16t~ Street Cons~s#ent with Articie iV, Section 12 of the City af Santa
Mon~ca CEQA Guidelines and Section 1~091 af the State CEQA Guideiines, the City
Councii finds that the follawing mit~gation measures which ha~e been reqwred in the
pra~ect wdl reduce the impact of #he pro~ect on traffic, but not to a ievel of msEgnificance
(1) In order to accommodate the net parkmg ~ncrease due to increased usage,
the callege shafl designate a m~nimum of 24 spaces which wifl be available
to pool users during peak hours (3.30-5.3Q p.m. on wee~cdays and
Saturdays} The 24 spaces shalf be located in either Parking Structure A or
C The precise IocatEan sha~l be determined ~n a Joint Operat~ng Agreement
entered into between the City and the Distr~ct
{2) To discourage weekend pool users fram parking on nearby residenfial
streets, the Crty shall encaurage weekend users to park in SMC off-street
parking #acil~ties through ~nformational programs (bulletin board nfltices,
mailEr ~nserts, etcetera )
(3) The nmety-six parking spaces currentfy lacated on Parking Lot $ which will
be lost d~e ta the construct~on of ti~e Mt~ nticipal Qool faaE~ty sl~all be ~eplaced
Until Octaber 31, 1999, these replacement spaces will be located at either
the C~ty's beach or airport iots The specific requirements governmg the use
~f the beach or a~rport lots, including parkmg location and schedule, shaf# be
estabEisF~ed ~n the Jo~n# O~erating Agreement After October 31, 1999, the
rep[acemer~t spaces shail be prav~ded on the Co[lege campus
(4) Informa~ian concemrng appropr~a#e bus rou#es shall be pravided to swim
team bus dri~ers in ad~ance af any swim meets Bus routes shall avoid
residential streets to access the site To mm~mize drop-off/pEek-up activity
along 16t" Street, team buses shall be required to drop-afflpick-u~ swEm meet
participants along the Pico Boule~ard frontage of the Caliege
(5} To minimize the potential for weekend sw~m meet particEpan#s #o park on
neighboring residentiaf strests, access and parking information shall be
~ncluded m all sw~m meet materials to direct participants to the proper
parking location
4
`" _41t,
,
{6) Arrangements shalf be mac~e w~th SMC to permi# paricir~g of weekend swim
meet team buses in SMC surface parking lots
(7) If sw~m meets are propQSed wh~ch wilf take place on a weekday whils SMC
is in sess~on, a parking managemer~t pla~ shall be ~repared prior to the
event to ensure that suffic~ent off-street parking is ava~lable for meet
part~cipants
SECTION 3 The CEQA mar~dated environmentalfy s~periar aEternative was fo~nd
to be the propased pro~ect As analyzed ~n the Final EIR, this alternative would result m
~mpacts that would be equa! to or less than the ~mpacts for the No Pra~ect as well as for
each af the other aEternati~es eonsidered
SECTI4N 4 The remammg pro~ect alternati~es analyzed ~n the Fina! ElR, the
Existing Santa Manica College Srte, the One-Way fnbound 16th Street Santa Monica
College Site, and the On~-Way Outbound Santa Monica Co!lege Site wauld have sim~lar
or greater impacts on the envrronment as the proposed project The pra~ect alternatives
would not avoid ar lessen the impacts associated with the pro{~osed pro~ect
SECTION 5 As fully descnbed in Section 2, the Fir~af EIR found that the ~ro~ect
wo~ld result in significant una~oidable adverse irr~pacts upon traff~c Consistent wi#h
Section 15093 of the State of Cal~fornia CEQA G~aidelines, the C~ty Council hereby makes
a Statement of Overr~dmg Cans~derations and finds that the benefts of the pro~ect
outweigt~ its unavoidabie enviranmental impacts based on t~e followmg reasons
(a) The Mur~icipal PooE facil[ty will prov~de a vaiuable recreation facdity #hat serves both
~
Y + '
' -~r~
.
the resider~tial community of local families and citizens as we~l as the overlapping day time
and residential cammun~ty of Sar~ta Monica College studer~ts The proposed design
mcludes both a shallow ~nstruction/ recreat~on pool designed for safe use by chddren, and
a farge, full size compet~tEan paal, providing for the needs of the college students as well
as ad~lt swimmers, and thus provid~ng a recreational facility for both families and
ind~vid~als. The pubiic benefif of the Munic~pal Pool Facili#y, which meets #he City's goals
for irnproved and expanded aquatic facilitres, as well as family recreation, o~tweighs the
traffic ~m~acts of an increase of no more than 0 3% daily trips to the immed~ate
neighborhaod
(b) WhEle tF~e relocatian of tha M~rntcipal Pooi rs ident~fied as ca~sEng unmitigatable
traffic impacts, the Municipal Pool is bemg relocated ta th~ site of a pr~~iously existmg 37~t
space parkmg structure The relocation of the Municipal Paof thereby creates the publ~c
benefit of reducing associated parki€~g structure impacts to the ad~acent neighbors
SECTION 6 Consistent with Pu~lic Resources Code Section 21081 6, the City
Counc~l adopts the Mitiga#ion MonEtoring Plan, which is included as Attact~ment A, to
mitigate ar avaid signifGCar~t effects of the Pro~ect on the envirvnment and to ensure
complfance durmg pro~ect implementat~on
SECTION 7 Consistent with Section 2108'~ 6(d} of the Caiiforn~a Erivironmental
Quality Act, the documents which constitute the record of praceedi~gs for approving this
pro~ect are located in the Planning and Community Development Department, 1685 Ma~n

I received a notice of the decisions before the Planning Commission and the City
CounciI regarding the replacement af the Municipal Poo1, and I would Iike my
comments to be cons~.dered in the course of your deliberations.
I write as a person wha spent most of my youth in AAU swirnming. I have been to
competi~ion poQls throughout the United States, including those i.n Illinois,
VVisconsin, Kentucky, 4hio, and in both Northern and Southern California. I
competed in the Santa Monica paol rnany years ago when I was a teenager.
Tflday I a~n one of the hundreds of parents who spend sumrr~er afternoons at the
Municipal Paol while aur children are learning to swim.
I s~rongly suppart this project. The Municipal Pool is barely se~rvicable in its current
candition, and it was outdated twenty years ago Ih~ring the summer, there are at
~east two or three days when the pooI zs c~osed due to ma~funct2oning. The decks are
dangerous, the locker rooms axe ~eyond retro, and the pool is inadequate both far
recreational swimming/ swimming lessons, and for competitive training.
I was pleased to see in the descriptian that the parking and circulation at the
Municipal Poal will be corrected by this project. With hundreds of young children
going into the paol every hour, there is a serious safety prablem with the current
parking and traff'ic canfiguration. Provision of a drop-off point will be an important
improvement far those of us whase children are old enough to dress and get into the
pool by themselves.
I urge your approval af this important municipal impro~ement pra~ect.

~ Opt~on #1 shou~d be the only opt~on considered No 16~` Street auto access be

to the lots on campus
• Santa Manica College parkin~ facihties shot~ld be apen and not restr~cted during apen
paol hours on weekenas Dtirrng open sw~rn hours aur~ng t~eek aays, s~mmer's
parkmg permits should be mcreased and publ~cized S~ans should be posted to
discourage park~ng along lb~' Street and neig~boring streets
•"Parking Perm~t Only" be extended to ~nclude ~~eekends for 16`h Street residents
• Access to the pool throu~h "t~am gate" on south boundary- should be mon~rored at a]]
times and no pubhc allowed to enter
