BACAGROIIND
In May of 1989 the City Council adopted a ten and a half month
moxatorium and directed staff to begin the process af re~iewing
the existing commercial develapment standards. over the next
four years, the moratorium was extended by Council while staff
responded to new directives from Council, conducted public
workshops and study sessions, and prepared materials for Planning
Commission and City Cauncii hearings. In November of 1992 the
Final Commercial Deveiopment Standards Program EIR was published.
At the Planning Commission meeting of January 13, 1993~ the
Planning Commi.ssion held a public hearing and made
recommendations ta City Council on development standards and
recommended that the Council certify the EIR and adopt a
Statement of Overriding Consideration. ~n February and March of
1993 the City Council held public hearings and on March 30, 1993,
the Council approved severa~ motions and directed staff to return
with ordinances implementing their motions. The Council's actiQn
is indicated on the attached chart (Attachment Ay, and the
attached Ordinanae (Attachment B), implem~nts these changes.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPM~NT ~RDINANCE CHANGES
Based on Council action, the attached ordinance contains
modifications to all cammercial areas in the City except for the
M1 and C5 area located north of the Santa Monica Freeway and east
of Nineteenth Place Alley, and except for commercial districts
covered by special standards or specific plans. Changes ta the
Code sactions are indicated in strike out and bold. The changes
relate to commercial develapment standards in the C2, C3, C3C,
~ 2 ~
C4, C5, C6, BCD and M1 Districts. Zn addition, the Ordinance
includes modifications to permitted uses, uses allowed with a
Performance Standards Permit and conditionally permitted uses in
the commercial districts. Changes relating to uses are being
made in order to implemant, an a permanent basis, Ordinance 1635
(CCS), the Affordable Housing Ordinance, which permits various
residentia~ uses in the commercial districts. The proposed
ordinance a~so includes modifications ta the definition section
of the Code, adding definitions for affordable housing praject,
congregate housing, domestic violence shelter, homeless shelter,
senior housing, single room occupancy housing, and transitional
housing. Thes~ defini~ions are also consistent with ~rdinance
1635 (CCS). In addition, staff has deleted the definition of a
residential care facility in order ta eliminate the inconsistency
with the definition af a communit~r care facili.ty, and added
definitions of "Residential Facility" and "Residential Care
Facility far tha Elderly" to be consistent with state law.
Although the City Cauncil did not specifically direct res~dential
uses in the M1 district, Ordinance 1635 (CCS) permits residentiai
uses subject to a Conditianal Use Permit. In order to be
consistent with Ordinance 1635 (CCS), staff has included
residential uses in the M1 as conditionally permitted. Should
the Counci,l deczde res~.dential uses are not appropriate in the M1
district, the proposed ordinance would need to be modified.
INTERIM M1lRD ORDINANCE
The prapased new commercial d~velopment standards apply to th~
conpmercial areas of the City listed above except for the M1 and
- 3 -
C5 area located north of the Santa Monica Freeway and east of
Nineteenth Place Alley. At the Council meeting of March 30,
1993, Council directed staff to study the area and consider the
idea af rezoning the area to a new Ml-RD district. As proposed
herein, the new zoning would apply to the entire area with the
exception of the City Yards and the four development agreement
prop~rties. The exact boundaries af the area are indicated on
the Intexim Zoning Study Area Map contained in the attached
Interim Ordinance (Attachment C).
The new M1/RD zoning district standards would be similar to the
existing Ml district, but wauld allow a greater percentage of
building square footage to be used as accessary office space.
Permitted uses in the new district would include uses currently
permitted in the M1 district, as well as movie productian and
studio facilities, and public utility service centers and service
yards. As contained in Ordinance 1635 (CCS), residential uses
would be pexmitted in the M1/RD district subject to a CUP. The
Council also asked staff ta look at three specific sites as
poss~ble locations for a mixed-use overlay. These include the
"Drescher" property, the southeast corner of Stewart Stre~t and
Colarada Avenue, and the southwest corner of Stanford Street and
Colorado Avenue. The underlying standards for these properties
would be identical to the Ml/RD zoning, but with the approval of
a Conditional Use Permit, the overlay would allow additional
height and FAR for prajects in whieh at least 700 of the total
project square footage is devoted to residential uses.
- 4 -
In relation to the fo~r development agreement properties {The
Arbaretum, Colorado Place, NME and Water Garden), Council asked
staff to study two options. The first aption is to chanqe the
zoning on the four properties tfl muZti~family res~dential with
some neighbarhood cammercia~. The Council stated that for those
projects not fu11y develaped, {Arboretum and Water Garden} the
residential zoning wauld ensure that in the event the properties
are not built-out under the terms of the existing de~elopment
agreement, future development would be predominantly residential.
For the other two projects, due to the fact that th~ properties
are built-aut, the residential zoning would only apply in the
event the property owner voluntarily redevelops the property.
The sec~nd option is to study the impact of maintaining the
existing C5 zoning. These options will be considered through the
review of the p~oposed M1/RD permanent ordinance. In order to
imp~ement the changes relating to the Ml/RD area outlined above
on a temparary basis, staff is recommending the adoption of the
attached interim ardinance. The standards contained in the
in~erim ordinance will be in effect while the study to determine
the permanent standards is underway.
Staff is recommending that the interim zoning not apply ta the
four deveZapment agreement properties. Due to the fact that none
af the four deve~opment agreements are going ta expire within the
next year, interim zoning would not have any effect on these
properties. Under the terms of the Development Agreements for
th~ Water Garden and Arborett~m, the developer has until December
of 1999 for the Arboretum, and March af 20oD far the Water
- 5 -
Garden, to commence construction on the ~inal phas~s af the
projects.
Staff wilZ provide Cauncil with an outline and ti~eline on
implementing the permanent standards fo~ the M1/RD area. In
order ta adopt the interim ordinance, staft has prepared a
resolution addressing the environmental implications of adopting
the interim ordinance {Attachment D). This interim ordinance
will be effeetive for 45 days during which time staff will return
to Council with an ext~nsion far up to 18 months.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS PROGRAM EIR
In addition to the advpt~on of the ordinances listed above, staff
is recommendzng that Council adopt a resolution certifying the
Final Commercial Development Standazds Program EIR (Attachment
E), and adopt a resoiution adopting a Statement of Overriding
Consideration (Attachment F). The EIR considers 10 alternative
commerc~al development scenarivs, each of which r-rauld perm~t
different amdunts af commercial and industria]. growth in the
City. The EIR uses the baseline environmen~al conditions as
contained in the City's 1992 Master Environmental Assessment and
then adds the impacts created by each zoning alternative to that
base informatian. The result is an evaluatian of the new
environmental impacts above those that exist today as identified
in the MEA. The alternatives propose to madify the permitted
fZoor area ratios as well as the mix of residential and
commercial uses in all commercial areas of tha City except whsre
develapment standards have been es~ablished or are being s~udied
through a specific p].an process, including the Civic Center area,
- 6 -
Hosp~tal District, the Bayside District, and Main Street. The
Pier and the RVC district were also excluded from the study area
since these areas are within the Local Coastal Plan boundaries.
While the deve~apment standards contained in the motion approved
by Council at the March 30th meeting are not entirely consistent
with any one of the alternatives studied in the EIR, based on an
analysis of the Council action prepared by the EIR eonsultant,
the impacts of the new standards fall between the impacts
associated with Alternative ~ and Alternative 1. The set of
development standards selected by the Council (referred to as
"Alternative 12") are similar to the standards contained in the
City's existing zaning ordinance (Alternative 0.) However, the
Council action would result in a total of 2J.,752,449 square feet
of development at build-out, which is 3.4 million square feet
less than the total amaunt of potential commercial development
p~rmitted by the existing zoning ordinance. As a result of the
housing options contained in the Council action, the nurnber of
residential units at build-out would increase by 450 units over
the existing zoninq ordinance. An addendum to the EIR has been
prepared and is part of the document Council is being asked
certify (Attachment G).
The EIR concluded that impacts resulting from the pxoject
(Council direction reterred to as Alternative 12) r~lating to
land use, housing, public utilities, sewage generation, solid
waste, police services, fire services, the school system, and
parks and recreation can hE reduced to an acceptable level
- 7 -
through the impYementation of the mitigation measures outlined in
the attached resolution.
In relation to traffic, impacts result~ng fram the project would
be similar to thase assaciated with Alternative 0. The EIR
concluded that development allawed under the Alternative o would
result in significant impacts even after mitigation at 115
intersections in the A.M. peak period and 134 intersectians in
the P.M. peak period. These impacts would be reduced by
compliance with existing Transportation Management Program
ordinance and the traffic impact feet program under preparation.
Hawever, ~he EIR concludes that significant traffic impacts WOU~d
remain after full implementation of the mitigation measures
because of the number af impacts and tha lack of phys~cal
mitigations available. As a result of the increase in vehicle
trips generated by developmen~, the amount of develapment wauld
produce air quality impacts from mabile emissions. While
compliance with the Air Quality Management Plan would minimize
air quality impacts, any additianal emi5sions which result from
any of the d~veZopment alternatives would be considered
significant as the South coast Air Basin already generally
exceeds federal air quality standards.
Due to the fact that the project would result in significant
ampacts to traffic eirculation and air quality even after
mitigation measures have been implemented, staff is recommending
that the Council adopt a Statement of 4verriding Cansideration
with a finding that the benefits of the project outweigh its
- 8 -
unavoidable enviranmental impacts based on the reasons contained
in the attached resolution {Attachment F}.
BUDGET~FIBCAL IMPACT
The ~ecomtnendations in this report do not have any budget or
fiscal impaet.
RECOMMENnAT~ON
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the xeso~ution certifying the Final E~R;
2. Adopt the ~es~lution approving the p~oje~t with a Statement
of Overriding Considerations;
3. IntroduCe for first reading ~he ordinance implementing the
revised commercial development standards;
4. Adopt a resalution approving the M1/RD interim ardznance with
a Statement of overriding Cons~derations;
5. Introduce for first reading the M1/RD interim ordinance
effective for 45 days.

and senior housing as a single pro~ect. VOA is cansidering the
passibility af inter-generational child care and other programs
which will take advantage of the neighbaring project. VOA also has
at its command a vast array of social services and other resources
to meet the needs of bath low income families and seniors, as well
as extensive experience in both senior and family housing. VOA has
spansared 131 housing complexes in cities throughout the nation,
including mare than 5,00~ units developed for seniors under the
Section 202 program. This organization is considered one of the
leading nonprofit providers of housing and services for the elderly
in the country.
This proposed affordable senior praject is at a preliminary stage.
However, the developer must establish site control prior ta the
July 8, 1993 HUD application deadline. In order to provide site
cantral, it is necessary for the City to enter into an option
agreement to sell the lot to VOA. This action should be
canditioned upon VOA's securing a HUD Section 202 grant commitment
for this development. This arrangement is similar to the manner by
which bath the Third Street and Foux-th Street Senior housing
projects were able ta demonstrate site cantrol.
The Section 202 prograr~ will allow a portion of the overall grant
to be allacated toward the cast of the land. Thus, if this project
is awarded funds, the City would receive some financial
consideration for the land. These funds could then be available ta

i 1) '~he City Council ~~nds ~.Y:at the proposed co:nmerciai
deve~o~r.ient standards are corsis~en~ with the C~tv's General ?lan.
;2, "'he ~ifiyr Council Finds ~hat ~he proposed cor~mercial

;~} The C~t~r Co;~ncil f~nds that the propo~ed ccmmerc~a~

development, ~r: arder to prov~de expancied hous~ng opportun~t~es in
4he ~ity, and to improve ~he imbalance between ~obs and housing
that exists ~n ~anta Monica.
; F) The City Council fi^ds that while ~ncreases in v~Y:icle

dev~lopment standards woul~ create signi~ican~. impacts at 115
~ntersect~ons ~n ~he morn~ng pea~ :~our arsd ~34 intersec~ions zn ~he
aft~rnoan peak hour, these ~~pacts would be reciuced by ccmpliance

keep t?:e C~ty fiscally sound, ~nci also expand housing oppartunities
in ~he Ci~.y, tc ~mprove the imbaiar_ce between ~obs and ~ous~ng ~:~ar
ex~sts i~ Santa Monica.
; 6? `~he C~ty Counc~l fznds t'~at wi:ile ~he increases in
~Te~~c~e tri~s ge:~erated by ~zveJ.e~ment snder the proposed

exce~dances of air aua~.ity st~:~~ards ~r~ the ~outh Caast Air BasYn.
SECT~ON 2. The City Counc~~ finds that mosfi ~mpacts ~esul~~ng

sign~f~cant environmentai effects as identified below car: feasibly
be avo~ded and r~ave been eiim~nated or substar.t~al' y ~esser~ed. The
