Dear Ms Abdo ~
Thank you for the opportunrty to comment on the a6ove-referenced document at the
Plannrng Commrssron hearrr~g on Dctober' 27, 1993 Thrs letter shall summarrze my
concerras as the owner of the property at 1~27 ~ 1 th Srreet which abuts rhe proposed
pro~ect 1 am laokrng ~orward to meet~ng w+th you and t~e o~her members of #he Gr~y
Gouncrl to drscuss these rssues prior to the Crty Councrl Meetrng currently scheduled for
Tuesday, January f8, 7993 orr which th~s matter rs calendared for a publrc heanng.
By way ot rntroduchon, 1 am support-ve of rhe goals of Upward Bound Hous~ng as to the
potenrral for constructran of sen~or hous+ng in Santa Monrca, 6ut I remarn concemed about
the traffrc, no~se and a~r pollution rm,vacts td my resrdentral nerghborhood caused by the
addrtronal subte~rar~ean park~r~g structure proposed to 6e Constructed urrder these sen~or
and transrt~onal res-derrtral rmprovements whrch are well rn excess of the replacement
parking curren~{y needed for the Unrted Mef~odlsf Gh~rch The fodlow-ng w~f! recap my
remarks at the Plannrng Commrssron hearing-
1 The Frna! Envrronmental lmpact Report {"FEIR') for th~s pro~ect states that the
City of Santa Mon-ca need not be concerned about rhe Cade requrred park-ng
spaces srnce no ~mprovemenfs were being proposed for the church faCilrtres, and,
as sueh, the church was 'grandfathered." Accordrng to the FEIR, the actua! code
requrremen~ for the ex~strng cl~urch fac~lrty rs 20Q parkrng spac:es
~ 0~~11~
On further analysrs of the FFlR and conversa~~ons wifh sfaff, ~f appears thaf the
~raffre study Irm~ts ~ts rev,ew to the ~mpacts res~ltrng from the proposed hous~ng
-- --- pro~ect and found that there would only be one addrflortal tr-p caused 6y these
rmprovements. The study neqlec[ed fo analyze the rmpacts caused b~ the
~ncrease ot 4T5 parkm,q spaces for tf~e proposed pro~ect, of whrch 337 have no
~elat~onshrp to fhe housmq component Thrs results in the prorect producm,q 337
non-res-denfraf park~nq spa~es #or which ~he rmpact has noi been analyzed As
stated m the appea! whrch my aftorney filed rn thrs case, a eopy of the spec-frc
reasons for which rs enclased for your reference, there mrght possrbly be a parkrrrg
pro6lem in rhe vlc~nity of the church for a 3 hour perrod on Sunday mornrng The
rest of the week ~here mrght 6e between 70 and fwenty five cars parked rn thrs !oi
1 am assert~ng thaf the fa~Iure to analyre the rmpacts of the parkrng not requ~red

2. ! expressed that 1 needed to learn more of how the parkrng facllrtres for the
proposed pro~ect would actually operate The proponents have pravided me wlth
a copy of a Secunry Plan whrch had 6een drafted by the traffic consultant, Kaku
& Assocrates Th~s Secunty Plan sets forth some prel~minary rnformaflon on how
the garage ~s to be operated However, there is Irt~le rnformatron descrrbrng fhe
day-to-day operatrons of the garage ~o you or the public why the Church needs an

both of whrch need to be approved before a burld~ng permrt for the pra~ect can be

whether ~he traffre consultant had taken these evenrs rnto cons~deratron when
analyzing the traffrc and park~ng rmpacts caused 6y rhrs pro~ect The proponents
r~spond~d that Kaku's traffic and parkrng srudres had not refiected such even~s as
the Chnstmas Specia! 6ut that the extra park~n,q whrch was bu-lt mto the propose~!
pro~ec~ could aceommodate the add~trona! traffrc and parkrnq needs resultrnq from
events such as these Further discussions w~th the proponents, as well as
testimony ~betore the Plann-ng Commrss~on by the proponents, reveal that #he
~.- ao~i5
proponen#s have not fu!!y analyzed their park~ng needs, especlally as to the abrlrty
of ~he proponents to ra-se ~he mrfl-ons of doflars to ac~ualfy construct thrs addrtronal

their park~ng rreeds, bui they are unw~!lrng to r~duce the number of parking spaces

5. 1 ~nqurred if the proponents of Upward 8ound had explored the potentra! for a
shuttle bus to the facrlrty ffom the Crry's park~ng s[ructures located around the 3rd
Street Promenade for specra! events. 1 have to belreve that these park-ng facllit~es
are not heavrly used on Sunday mornmgs whrch tradrtronal church serv~ces are

of Santa Mon~ca, which appro~ed a hous~ng project as above-referenced (the
"Project"} wh~ch includes a min~mum af 278 and a max~mum of 539 parkmg
spaces for the Project to be developed in two underground garage sites.
Both the frndings and dec~s~on o# the Planning Commrss~on, and the Env~ronmentaf
Impact Report ("E!R"} state t~at a m~rnmum of 278 parking spaces and a max~mum
,
of 539 park~ng spaces are necessary for the Project ta accommodate the cars of
ihe propos~d 78 un~t sen~or ha~sing pro~ect and 22 un~t irans~t~vnaE ~ousmg
project, as°well as the present uses of the 8Q0 seat Met~od~st Church aucfitor~um,
as summarazed on Page 5 of the letter to the C~ty Pianning Staff from Lawrence &
HardEng, attorneys for the Pro~ect [Append~x, Exh~b~t 1~. Both of these reports -
err~phas~ze that no ~ses are contemplared #ar future use of the property ather ihan
its preSent ~se by ihe Church and add~t~onal use by the two proposed ho~smg
pro~ects. It is tt~e pos~t~on of #he Appellant that the min~mum nurrsber of
s~bterra~ean spaces should be 202, and the max~m~m, 278, for the foliaw~ng
reasons:

Average usage by the 800 seat church fac~l~ty shaws only a 3 hour penod,
once a week, where the 1a3 parkmg spaces presently aliotted are f~lled to
-- -- capac~ry The rest af the t~me, the fac~irties are negl~gib}y used. ~See
Append~x, Exhib~t 2, ptictures taken of the Church park~ng lot over a three
day period.l

En the actaber 27, 1993 letter of Lawrence & Hard~ng, aitorneys for the
P~o~ect`s pro~onents, wou~d be 282 spaces for the Church, 6 days a year fior
spec~al cereman~es, when shuttle buses car~ be used from publ~c parking
fac~l~t~es recently constructed by the c~ty 3 blocks away. Since these pubfic
park~ng fac~l~t~es were designed to meet the neecis of the ThErd Street_
Promenade, Sur~day marning ~hurchgoers wili not confiict with retail and
restaurant patrons. ~
3 The d~cis~on of the Plann~ng Comm~ssiort was to a!!ow a m~n~mum of 278
and a max~mum of 539 park~ng spaces ior the Project. The appf~cant's
attorney stated that, ur~less they had perm~ssEOn to buiid all of 539 park,ng
spaces, the Pro~ect wauld ~e "fatally damaged" and thus may not get
started Th~s statement obvEOUSly shows a contemplated usage afi the
fac~lrty far and beyand the ~resent usage summanxed or~ page 5 of the letter
of Lawrence & Hard~ng Isee A~pend~x, Exhibit 3] The possibilrty of suc~
future add~t~onal usage was stated on pp 4 3-4 and 4.3-5 of the ~~R It
stated as follows.
As an addrt~anal 337 spac~s are be~ng prov~ded, ~mpacts
ta ~ark~ng are not ant~c~pated, howe~er, the abundance
of parking may invite non-pro~ect related or chureh-
related park~ng uses Th~s ~mpact w,lE be reduced to a
less than s~~gn~f~cant level after ~mpiementat~on of

4. At the Piann~ng Gommiss~on heanng, r~presentatrves of the Church stated
i~ai the 337 spaces werenot going to be used by the Church dunng tt~e
wee4c and wou~d be leased to res4dents in iE~e are~ or oiher Churches. It is
part af the recard that n~ analysi~ o# traff~c ~mpacts were made of such
leasing
5 T~e ~!R of August, 1993, does not meet the requ,fements of the Cal~~o~n~a
~nv~ranmental Qual~ty Act and the C~ty of Santa Mon~ca Code for tt~e
follaw~ng reasons: ~
A. After caritempiatmg tk~at t~e 337 spaces m~ght ca~st~tute art
a~ur-dance of parkmg tt~at could invite r~on-prolect related or church-
refated parking uses, the EIR stated that "thts impact wi~! be ~educed
to a~ess t~an s~gn~fECant level aftef imp{eme+~tat~o~+ vf recommended
mrtrgation " TY~e recommended mitig8tipn w85 never StBtBd, ar at best
is defar~ed to a subsequent submittal ca~led a park~ng management
plan .
B T~e E1R does not adequately address the env~ronmentai ~mpacts of the
33? addrtional garkrng spaces that the ChuTCh ~s ~raposmg to ~uild
~nderneath t~e affordable ~ous~r~g pfo~ect Such ~mpacts Fnciude
add~t~onal traffFC, no~se arid a~r pafiut~vn. Trie ~~R clearly states on
pages 4.3-4 and 4.3-5 that none af these ,mpacts were anafyzed. A
trafftc ~mpact analysss must ~e required; otherw~se, the ElR ~s
tinadequate as a matter a# law.
fi. The usage of any parking spaces beyond the max,mum as requ~red by the
Code of ~he Ctity of Sa~~a Mon~ca fof t~e Pso}ect, i.e., 278, would tirreparably

Dea~ Six:
Thank you for the oppar~un~ty ta comment an the above-ref~renced
document at the Community Meeting last Saturday. This letter
shall summarize the concerns of ~y cl~ent, Ms. Tanian Hohberg,
the owner of the property at 1027 llth Street which abuts the
praposed project. I was hopinq to obtain ~he additional informa-
t~on I requested prior to the Special Planning Commission Meeting
scheduled for Wednesday, October 27, 1993 in which this matter is
calendared for a Public Hearinq as Item 9.A.
By way af introduction, Ms. Hohberg is s~pportive of the goals of
Upward Bound Housing with the potential far canstruction of
seniar housing in Santa Monica, but she rema~.ns concerned about
the impact of the additiona~ s~bterranean park~ng associated not
anly w~.th these residential improvements but going beyond the re-
placement parking currently needed far the United Methadzst
Church_ The following will recap my remarks at the Community
Meeting:
1. The Fina1 Enviranmental Impact Repart ("FEIR"} indicates
that the City af 5anta Monica need not l~e concerned about
the Code requ~red parking spaces since no improvements were
being proposed for the church facilities, and, as such, the
church was "grandfathered." I expressc~d curiasity about
what the current City Code requirements would be if the
church were not grandfathered. According tfl the FEIR, the
actual cade requirement for the exist~ng church facility is
200 parking spaces.
~ 00~23
606 South Olive Street ^ Suite f000 ~ Los Ange~es, California 90014 ^(213) b14-C1960
On further ana~ysis of the FEIR and conversatians with
staff, it appears that the traffic study limits its review
to the impacts resulting fram the pxaposed hausing pro~ect
and faund that there would only be one additional trip
caused by these improveme~ts. The study neq~ected to
analyze the i~pacts caused by the increase af 415 parkinq
spaces for the proposed pra~ect~ af wh~ch 337 have no
re~ationship to the housinq component. This resu~ts in the
pr~ject produc~nq 337 nan-residential parkinq spaces far
which the ~mpact has not been analyzed. This could lead ta
an unmitigat~d significant env~ronmental impaet rendering
the current FEIR inadequate in terms af ineeting the require-
ments of the California Environmental Quality Act.
2. I expressed that, based an ny cursary reading of the
FEIR, I needed to learn more of how the parking facilities
for the proposed pro~ect wau~d actually operate. Ken
Kutcher, the at~orney representing the developers of the
propased project responded by providing me with a copy of a
Security Plan which had been drafted by the traffic consult-
ant, Kaku & Ass~ciates. Upon initial review, this appears
to set forth sQme prel~minary informat~on on how the garage
is tv be operated. How~ver, there is little information
describing the day-to-day operations af the garage to inform
the Pianning Commission or the public why the Church needs
an addltzanai 2~3 parkanq spaces as part of this pro~ect.
In additian, I would like to learn the status of the Park~ng
Management Plan referred t~ in the FEIR.
3. On page 4.3-5, the FETR refers to certain "impacts will
be reduced to ~ess than a signifieant ~e~el after implemen-
tation of recommended m~tiga~ion," but I was unable to lo-
cate any such mitigations ~n the balance of the FEIR or ~n
the Mitigation Monitorzng sec~~on. I was informed by the
praponents that they would research this ma~ter and prav~de
me with the proper response.
4. I inquired as to the kinds of spec~ai even~s which occur
at the church and whether the traffic consultant had taken
these events into consideration when analyzing the traffic
and parking impacts caused by th~s pro~ect. The prapanents
responded that Kaku' s traf f ic and parking studies had not
reflected such events as the Christmas Spec~a~ but that the
extra parkinq which ~3as built into ~he propased pro~ect
could accommoda~e the add~tional traffic and parkinq needs
resultinq from events such as these. Aga~n, the decision
Makc~rs and the public shauld have this informatian before
th~s pro~ect should be aZ1o~TEd to move forward.
5. I~nquired ~f the propon~nts of Upward Bound had explored
the potential for a shuttle bus to the facility from the
City's park~ng structures located around the 3rd Street
Pramenade for special events. ~ have to believe that th~se
parking facilities are not heaviiy used an Sunday mornings
' 00124
whzch traditi~nal church services are canducted. Th~s may
provzde a reasonable alternative to a s~gnificant campanent
of the propased pro~ect a~d improve the pro~ect's ability ta
actually secure f~nancinq for the hausinq component by
reducinq the muzti-mi~Zion dollar cast af buildinq 213 addi-
tional subterranean park~nq spaces.
Ms. Hohberg will be raising these issues at the Planning Commis-
sion hearing next w~ek, and we hape that yau postpone making a
decision on thYS project until you ha~e a~l th facts_ If you ar
your staff have any q~estzons, please contact me at (213) 6~4-
0960. Thank you far yaur courtesy and caoperation.
Sincere~y,

~ am in receipt of your letter dated october 22, 1993.
We appreciate your expression af support far the senior housing
proposal at 1011 Eleventh Street. We hape your client is equally
suppartive of the transitionai hausing praposed at 1020 Twelfth
Street. These affordable housing units were specifically endorsed
by a broad-based task force commissioned by the City Cauncil ta
study issues related to ho~elessness in Santa Manica.
we hope that your client wi~l also come ta suppvrt the
subterranean parking proposed for these sites as well. That
subterranean parking will al3eviate the on-street parking conditian
in the neighbQrhaod by expanding the limited amount of off-street
parking currently available ta attendees of the First United
Methadist Church of Santa Monica. We believ~ such an improvement
should bE welcomed by nearby residents and owners who current~y
experience a shortage of available parking.
As ~ou know, an environmental impact report (~'EIR'~) has
been prepared by Robert Sezn, William Frost & Associates, who were
retained by the City of Santa Manica to analyze the potential
impacts of this project. I believe you have a copy af the Final
EIR dated A~gust 1993.
The puxpose of this ~etter is to provide yau with some
preliminary respanses to aspects af your letter. First, I must
take except~on to your statement that the EIR "neglected ta analyxe
the 3mpacts caused by the increase of 337 parking spaces, of which
447 have no relatianship ta the housing," and that "~a]fter
dedicat~ng the existing 124 spaces which currently mee~ the needs
of the church, that leaves 213 new parking spaces, the impact of
which has not been analyzed."

Natw~thstanding your statements to the cvntrary, the
Traffic Impact Study which is attached to the Final EIR as
Section 10.2 specificaily addressed the fa~t that the project
included the addition af expanded off-street church parking.
However, because the church facilities across the street are not
expanding and the parking garage will only pravide an off-street
location for current attendees af the church to park, the EIR
properly concluded that no addit~onai vehicu~ar t~ips wili bb
generated by the improved parking. In this regard, the EIR is
fully adequate, as evidenced by the following statemer~t:
"[A] s part of the proposed pro~ ect, additional
parking spaces are praposed ta be used by the
existing church. It should be nated that
these additional parkinq spaces would not
generate additional trips because the existinq
church would remain unchanqed." (FEYR,
Traffic Impact S~udy, pp, 16-19, empha5is
added.)
P~ease let me ass~re you and your client that na
expansion of the church's facilities is cantemplated ar prvpos~d.
Moreaver, as your cl.ient shauld be aware, parking attendants staf€
the existing surface parking lots on Sundays, and it is my
understanding that the existing lats are parked to a capacity af
217 vehicles with stacked parking.
Also, far your clarification, the Security Plan was nat
prepared by Kaku Associates, Inc. The Security Plan was prepared
by Upward Bo~znd, working in consu~.tation with the Santa Monica
Po~ice Depart:sient and private secur~ty ~irms. Littie infarmatian
~n the day-to-day aperatians ~s contained in the Security Plan
because the maj~rity of the park~ng levels wi].1 be gated shut
except for Sundays and other times of speciai needs.
With respact to your inquiry about a parking management
plan, the Final EIR does nat r~commend mar~datory preparation of
such a p~an. Rather, it specifies:
"Prior to building
applicant shaZl
satisfaCtion of the
Building Divislon,

structure. If determined n~cessary by the
City, additional design/circulation features
may be required to further improve parking
garage air qua~ity, inciuding restrzcted
parking areas and/or a parking management
pian~ and an impraved ventilation system."
(FEIR at p. 1.0--6; emphasis added.)
This mitigation measure has been incorporated into City
Staff's recommenda~ions as Special Condition No. 47 of the Staff
Report dated as of October 27, ~993. A capy af that Staff R~part
is available from the Santa Monica Planning Counter. Upward Bound
is committed to ensuring that the subterranean parking garage will
be designed and operated in a manner consistent with this
cond~.tion.
With respect to your inquiry about the contents of the
mitigation measure referenced on page 4.3-5 of the FEIR, you will
find the content is stat~d on page 4.3-7. As is indicated on that
page, the recommended mitigation measure WiII require the
px-eparation of a management plan for the transitional housing to be
rev~ewed by the City prior to issuance of an occupancy pErmit for
the pro~ect. This recommended mitigatian measure has been
incorporated as Special Condition No. 41 af the Staff Report.
Thank you fo~ your anterest.

Re: Staff Report/Upward Bound Project
our File No. 9020.1
Dear Drummand:
We have reviewed yQUr Staff Report to the Planning Commission
dated as of October 27, ].993, concerning the Upward Baund project.
The purpase af this Ietter is to suggest a few refinements ta the
Special Candition~ which y4u have recommended to the Planning
Commission. Our suggestians are as follaws:
1. special Condition No. 42. As currently written, Special
Condition No. 42 requires a management plan for the transitional
housing project and a security plan for both the transitional
housing and senior housing projects to be reviewed and approved by
the Zoning Administrator prior to issuanc~ of a certif icate of
4ccupancy. It is er.pected that these projects will be bui].t
consecutively or perhaps on staggered sch~dules, rather than
cancurrently. (See FEIR, p. 57.) Thus, we would like this Special
Condition to be clarif~.ed so that a certificate of occupancy cou~d
be issued for the senior housing project without first requiring
City approval of a management plan and securitv plan for the
transitional housing project.
Additionaily, Planning Commissioner Kathy Weremuik suggests
that (1) the Zoning Administra~or may not be the most knowledgeable
person to review the security and management plans and (2) there
shouZd be flexibility for future amendments to the plans which may
later become appropriate. Changes to the plans might be requi.red
by future lenders, ar they might became evident thraugh experience
operating these faci~ities. We suggest that the City Manager is in
a good posi~ion to decide who should review a particular plan.
Please consider the following substitute language designed to
address these concerns:

other facility. If this were tQ occur, then the deed restriction
should only be imposed against the project which is constructed.
This Conditian should be worded ta insure flexibility in this
regard. Please consider the adequacy the following lang~aqe:

"An inclusionary requirement of 100~,
excluding one manager's unit in each facility,
shall apply to the senior group housing and
transiti.onal housing facilities. All non-
manager units shall be affordable to
hauseholds not exceeding 60~ of the {HUD) Los
Angeles Caunty mediar~ income, spending nat
over 30~ of monthly income on housing costs,
as specified by the Housing Division of the
Department of Community Development. The
Develaper shali covenant and agree with the
City ~f Santa Monica ta the specific terms,
conditions and restrictions upan the
possession, use and enjoyment of these units,
which terms, conditions and restrictions shall
be recorded with the Los Angeles Caunty
Recorder's Office as part af the deed of the
property to ensure that compliance with this
requirement shall occux' and contznue over time
and through sulas~quent transfers af the
property.~~
The last three paragraphs of Inclusionary Un~t Condition
No. 49 do not require any modifieation.
6. Text Amendment For Private open Space. Planning
Cammission Ghair Ralph Mechur and Cammissioner Kathy Weremu.ik have
rai.sed concerns abvut the text amendment for relief from the
private open space require~ent as presently drafted. '~o address
those concerns, we suggest the fo~lowing revised language:
"Affardable housing projects in which One
Hundred Percent (100~} of the units are deed
restricted for very law, low, middle, and/or
maderate income housing are exempt fram the
requirements for private open space, provided
that coinmon area open space of eomparable or
greater size is pravided."

"Prior to issuance of a certificate af
occupancy for the transitianal housing
facility, the applicant sha~l prQVide a
management plan for that facility and a
security plan as well. Prior tQ issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the senior
housing facility, the applicant shall provide
a security plan for that facility. AlI
required management and security plans must be
submitted for review and approval to the City
Manager. The City Manager shall provide the
applicant with a written response ta the plans
or any propQSed amendments tv the plans within
30 days after their receipt. The City Manager
shall nat unreasonably withhald approval of
these plans or amendments thereta. The City
Managar may not object to any aspects of the
p~ans required by HUD or any other
institutional ~ender providing financing to
the project. If the City Manager fails to
provide a written response to the applicant
within 30 days after submission of a plan ar
amendment for review, then the plan or
amendinent shali automatically be deemed
approved as subznitted. "
2. Speoial Condition Na. 43. This Condit~on provides that
the applicant must record a lot tie agreement for the 11th Street
site prior to issuance af a build~ng permit. As we have discussed,
the anpl~cant intends ta prepare subdivisiQn app~icatinns for each
of these sites in order to segregate the legal descriptian for the
above-grade improvements from the legal description for the below-
grade parking garages. Dt~e ta concerns about whether the City's
current Subdivision Ordinance will autharize an air space
subdivision, we have not yet filed that application. We are
waitinq for the City Attarney's office tQ evaluate th~s issue. If
such a subdivision map ~s approvad and recorded, it will serve to
"tie" the five City lots on the llth Street site tagether. Thus,
we suggest that this Condition could be worded as follows:
~~ ,~ "Prior to issuance of a bu~lding permit for
~~d~ ~ the senior housing praject, the applicant
~ n~ shal~ recard a lot tie agree~nent creating one
GE~ separate, 150' x 254' parcel at the 1011 sith
Street site or other similar instrument, such

as a recorded s~bdivision map, having the same
effect."
3. Special Ccndition No. 44. Special C~ndition No. 44
provides that Conditional Use Permit No. 92-001 for 477 off-site
subterranean parking spaces and 900 square feet af church storage
space shali be of no further effect if Text Amendment No. 92-OQ1 is
not adopted by the City Council. However, the Staff Report states,
"Staff believes that the Zoning ~rdinance permits these uses with
or without this Text Amendment." (See Staff Repart at p. 10.) If
the Planning Commission agrees with Staff's analysis of this issu~,
then the Text Amenchnent is not necessary and this condition can be
deleted_ Presumably, the Planning Commission's interpretation of
this iss~e is appealab~e to the City Council. Therefore, Special
Condition No. 44 should laecome an optiflnal condition which wi~l
only be imposed if the Planning Commission, or the City Council on
appeal, disagrees with Staff's determination that na text amendment
is requ~red because it ~s merely a c~arification.
4. 8pecial Conditian No. 45. There appears to be a
typographical error in thzs Candition. As writtenr it would
require a minimum of 224 parking spaces to be provided for church
use. Currently, 124 parking spaces are provided. Those 1.24
parking spaces must be replaced, but no additional parking spaces
are compelled by the Zoning Ordinance. The number 224 should be
changed to 124 in this Special Condi~ion.
5. Inclusionary Unit Condition Na. 49. This Condition
present~y requires that 78 senior housing units and 22 transitional
housing units be provided and maintained over the life of the
project as deed restricted affordable units. This Condition also
requires that 100~ of all units, excluding manager units, must be
deed restricted for affardable housing. We have no concerns about
the second statement, but we da have concerns abaut the
specifications contained in the first statement.
The hazard of specifying that 78 seniar group housing units
and 22 transitional housing units will be deed restricted is that
some of those units may not be constructed, due to financing
canstraints. For example, it is my understanding that HUD may
limit its funding for the senior housing project to some amount
below 78 units. If this li~itation persists, then the full 78
senior housing unit~ will prabably not be constructed. A].so, it is
possible that insufficient funding wiil be raised far one or the

Attn: D. Buckley
Re: 1011 llth Street and 1024 12th stre~t, R2-NW.
Dear Sir/Madam:
I oppose the construction of a three-story 78-senior housing
project and the 22-unit transitianal hausing facility that
the Upward Bound Hause group is seeking,
As a native of the East Coast, I am still aimast daily
struck by the qexie~ and beauty of this area so close to the
oc~an. Santa Monica, narth of Wilshire, offers an
- incredibly peaceful place to those families who work hard,
but remain unable to afford hausing north af Montana, or in
othar nearby areas equally close ~.o the water.
However well in~entioned, and ta whatever small degre~,
these plans will alter the nature of this neighborhood.
While a church parking Zot wou~d arguably decrease
congestion many days of the w~ek, the canditions in Santa
Monica and surrounding communities are such that increased
motivation for private automobi~e use is not merited. The
area's air and congestion are a~nong the worst in the
country, and each narkir.g lot furt~Ar subsidizes ~~:e us2 of
private cars which do no~ pay the full social costs they
place on all of us. T~hen, if not driving to a church
function that presumabiy encourages us to reach out to the
community, is ride sharing ever justified?
The homeless praject is more problematic. My impressian,
which may be erraneous~ is that a Faustian bargain was
struck by the Methodist Church with the city wherein the
church agreed ~a home~ess and elder].y projects to obtain
appraval for additional parking places.
Apart fram the cynicism such a move fosters, T oppose the
homeless projec~ even judged on it~s merits. I understand
the need to help the homeless in each community, but drawing
homeless indiva.duals to this neighborhood for purpases of
;, doing piecemeal good deeds not only fails to address the
~ ~~~~~
real prablem, it leads to the disintegration of a
ne~ghborhood whose too few public parks have a~ready been
usurped from local taxpayers.
Building a homeless transitian build~ng in this naighborhood
app~ars to me to be akin to the mistakes that propanents of
busing have made in years past -- assuminq correctian of
unjust societa~ maladies can only be made in more affluent
neighborhoods, further increasing the problems of p~orer
areas that stand to benefit most from government funds.
Whatever the me~it af ~he grander philosophy of aiding the
home~ess, 2 disagree with these praposed p~ans for my
neighborhood. I have always marvelled at the number and
diversity of the churches in this locality, and appreciated
the degree to which ~hey added to the tenor of the place.
Now I fear they may harbar institutional agendas contrary ta
the interests of most o~r area~s community.

Pursuant to text amendme~t 92-~01, Conditional Use Perm~t 92-001,
Deve[opment Review Permit 92-0~1, Vartance 92-~01 and Vanance 92-002; as
property awr~ers, investors and taxpayers of Sarrta Mor~ica, we write thrs letter ta
express our disap~ointment. We fee( betrayed by the City of Sar~ta Manica not
by a~y ofher entity. This ~s wY~y
This de~elvpment ~s very amb~tiaus and has requrred a number of concessions
and ~a~iances as listed above Thus far they have a11 bsen cond~tionaNy gran#ed
w~th no consultation or approval firom abutters~
There are six hames in our town~ause, ~~ne of the owners have baen eansufted
by th~ City Gavernmer~t of Santa Moniea or empowe~ed ta ha~e a ~o~ce in the
outcome vf #n~s developm~n# Ir~ fact, we were systematically stripped of our
r~ghts by the "rubber stamp" 5-2 ~oting of City Counc~l m~mbers. I fiind this action
deplorable and completefy inequ~table as we are the peaple wha must lose if this
proj~ct goes forth as planned
In the town af Westwood, Massachusetts I once owned an old run-down carnage
house on a large parce! of land Abutters to my property totaled o~er twenty.
When one of the abutters decided to pave a piece of his property (requiring a non
code vanance) a!I abutting Iarrdowners were cons~Ited rn writrng and asked to
sign off on hrs propos~d change. We all did and he was granted a varrance. This
rs fair and equrta6le procedure.
The complex to be constructed w~#hin ten feei of ~ur homes may have #wenty-two
unr~s ar~d tnree levels ot undergro~nd park~ng Thrs is dor~b~e the densiry ar~d
triple the parking allowed ~y the code as I understand it Lot co~erage wi11 also
be greater t~an code, meanir~g less lig~t and more obstruct~on than we should be
forced to endure Not to mentian our quality of I~fe during the long period of
construction. And, the patential damag~ to our bu~lding due #o such a deep
excavation.
TF~is wifl fead ta an inevi~abfe fower~r~g of our property value VWhen a home is
appra~sed for sal~ there is always a space for ~compat~bil~ty of ad~acent bu~ldmgs"
as you must realize. What is now a parking }ot between an apartmer~t building
and a s~x ~6~ unit town~ouse condamm~um coufd soon b~came a Twenty-two
(22} un~t housing ~acility with three le~els of subterranean parking.

Re : Zane ~hange from R3-NW to C3 ~or ~1`i~ -~~ri~ Street
Genrlemen:
Thank you ~ery much far the Hearing No~ification.
Since we may.be unable to attend th~ meeti.ng, this is to
adv ise that we are in favor of the proposed zone change.
We are owmers of a ~ando aC 1Q1 Californi.a Avenue.
We beiie~e that the change would not increase traf~ic or noise,
On the o~her hand,it might provide additional conveniences for
a11 residents in the area - especially senior citi.zens within
walking distance~
We also believe ir will bring more business ~o Santa
Monica and more income to the City Treasury.
One of ~he most wonderful things that has happened to
the city od SanCa Monica, and to a~~ of us who li~e here, is
the Third Street PROMENADE, and SANTA MUNICA PLACE. The PROMENADE
is something we boa.st about to our out of tawn vi.sitors,
We r~member the opposition to SANTA MONICA PLACE when
i.t was in the planning stage. We~-re fortunate the pro~ject
went forward.
Hoping for your tavorable decision,
Respectfully yours,

As a native born Santa Monican and property owner in the vicmity of the
proposed senior haus~ng project and halfway house proposed for the 1 ~00
b/ocks of Eleventh and Twelfth streets, ! am writing to vehem~ntly oppose
the granting of var~ances necessary for buildout of the projeet.
Our te~ants have been continuausly made vict~ms of crimes aftrr6uta61e ta
the homelsss and ~rans~ent papu/atron ~n fhe neigh6orhood. Hrgher density
wi11 provide fertile ground for ev~n mare af ~he nef~rious deeds. A reeent
FBI study ranks Santa Monica fourth in crrme out of forty California cities.
Inglewood was eleventh . Just the other day, one of our tenants faund a
6loody hypoderrnic needle in the laundry of our ,bu~lding which is accessible
from the exteriar. We've all had enough! WF don't want any more
treSpassers, freeloaders„ crimrnals who would prey on our tenants.
It ssems l~ke a sneaky idea to combine a seniar hausEng deue/opmenf with a
halfway hous~. Talk a6aur putting raccoons ~n the henhnuse ! Is this just a
p/oy to secure support of the libera! elemenf in city hal!?

Our tenants have been cont~nuously made victims of cnmes attributable to
the homeless and trans~ent populat~on in the neigh6orhood. Nigher density
wil! provid~ fertile ground for even more of fhe nefarious deeds. A recenf

It seems l~ke a sneaky rdea ro combine a senior haus~ng development w-th a

I have rev~~v~ed the f.~nal E~H for 'tne Uvward Bound Housc Nvusing

tha~ I nave a~aut tha.s final E~~.
.~tart~ng on ~age 21 of heading 3.0 Resvonses ~o Comments, Response 3-3
where tk~ere ~.s an addressing of th~ PROJEC~ TRIP GENER,A~IO~T situatzon, we
see ~.wc sentenc~s. Tnese t-~o s~ntenees say;'~These s~udies take ~nto

t
;,f,~;~ expectea to occur ._ ~-~ during the day and on weekends" ,
~y auestion is how can tne cnurch, or anyone else, prevent v~,s~ting
~ersons from coa~~ng to tne sen~.or nousz~g oor~ion of ~he nro1ec~ during
the peai~ ~raffic hours? ~'hat means to legally enforce the second sen'~enca

ava~.lable, ~hen hav~ much wzll tne tr~p ~enerat~.on f~.gure for tn~ ent~.re
pro~ect be enanged upwaxd (or downwaxd~?
Gn ~age 24 0~ headzng 3.q Res~onse to Comments, Resbo:~se 4-1, there is
mentian af the source of the traffie ~enerat~.on - estz~ated tr~ps concept .
I woald ~rant ~to know the s~ecif~c numbcr of aduJ.t ( ar child) occunants
in tne TOT~I, roro~ect who wauld be allowed to possess anc~/or drive personal
(or company} cars ~n order ta document the ~rovided est~mated triu f~~''es

€enerate add~tional trz~s? ~nat zs, additzonal tr~ns beyond tne f~~al
Elrt nrovlded ~riu generation fzg-ares far ~~ and p~i ~eak times ~rip
~'eneration fzgttres.
I stl~.l ~'and ~t truiy hard to believe ~Mat a minimum of J.Oq adu~~s
( one m~.nimum per unit ~.n the cnt~re nro ~ec t~ w~.ll generate on.ly one more
p~l ( and no mare ~d) ~rips than the 13 adults { I pres~zme they are all
auul~s) on the prc~ECt s~te curren~ly (See nage 26 af head~ng 3.Q,

genera~~.on figures ~nto serious c_uest~on are th~ ider~tification trait9
of the de sir~d Upward ~ound ~ious7.ng ~ortion ~ s transitianal housing ~am~.l~.e s
~here are two st~ecific traits that I bel~eve tnrow the trio ger~eration
fz~ares into serious question. rhe first trai~ is hav~ng "an established
zncome or noten~ia~ for an ~ncome ~ource"~see page 20 af read~ng 3,
Res~onse ~tfl ComEne~.~Gs, Response 3-2~. This trai~ ~,~Z~.es ~he existence
of a ~ob holder who would generate tri~s Or~ the ~otpntial t'or multi~le
tr~ps per day fram someone loaking for employment. Th~ second tral.t
( se e p~ge 21, e t. al )- are provide~ aa'~ix~tie s f or "~ ob placement'~ - _
and ~vocaticna7. ~rehabiZita~ian" .
;n my opYnion, the more occu-~ants in t}~e trans~tzonal hous~ng poxtion
of ~i~e -~ro~ect v~no have cars w~11 mean the fewer occu~ants '~all~cd~` in
~he sen~.or c~~~zen housing nortxan in order to maintain the final TIR
stated trip generat~.on figures.
Qn nages 36 and 37 of heading 3.0, Resr.onses to ~omments, R~snonse

Final EIR is also a~ailable at this location, as you have heen previously nvtified. The Final
EiR is costs $10.0U plus tax The staff report ~s free of charge.
In ~espanse to your Qctober 15, 1993 letter:
The praject applicant made staff aware af the reduction in pro}ect size shortly after the Fwal
EIR became avaiiable. The applicant stated thac the reduccion was made for financiai
masons. The reduction in the size of the pmject daes ~ot require any r~evisians [o the Final
EIR because the reduction dces not have the potential to increase the environmental impacts
vf the pro~eet. Rather, it can be expected that envuanme~tal imgacts of the project {such as
traffic generation} u~ill be reduced as a result of the change.
~ significant increase tn the s~ze or scope of the project may resutt in the requue~nent of a
re~ised ETR. Howe~er, since na increase in size is proposed, and because I do not want to
engage in speculatian, it is not passible for me to define the parameters or thresho~d under
which a revisea EIR wo~~d be requtrea for an ~ncrease in pro~ect size ar scope.
If yo~ ha~e any questions regarding this matter, glease call me at (310} 458-8341

Dear N4r. ~'eac~worth:
.~~~~~1 T ~
QUG ? 5 ~~
I~--z~~~~'~
This is in respanse to your letter ~ated JuZy 29, 1993, wherein you have
expressed cancern witfi the app~icatian t~at was subr~itted under our Sectio~
2~2 Supportive Nousing for the ~lderly program, by Upward Bound House of Santa
~onica, inc. and First United Methodist Church vf Santa Mort7ca.
While we are well aware of the concerns yau expressed witf~ ~heir
appl~cation that was submitted in response to o~r Natice af Fur~d Availabi~~ty
(NOFA} pubZished last year. Let us again assure you that each application
will receive a tharough review and must comply r~~th all requ~re~nents and
threshold criteria as vutlined by the Section 202 pragram.
The ir~vitation issued by th~s office in respor~se to this year`s P~Q~A
a]]o~ved a maximur~ uz~it lim~tatian of 7fl units per individUal app~ication.
Therefore, the sponsors in comp~iance with o~r requirements, submitted an
a~~}icati~r~ far the rrraximum r~ur~ber of units poss~b]e.
The ap~~7cation proposes a three-story buil~tng c~ns~sting of 69 or+e-
~edraom units, 1 two bedroom ur~it, a commun7ty room a~d iaundry facil~ties ta
be ~ui~t over subterran~an park~ng. If the appl~cat~an ~s seiected fflr
funding, the proposed deSign of tt~e project may not be changed at subsequent
stages of processing, rather the design must re~air~ as appraved.
As a result af the concern expressed in your ~etter, we consulted our
Co~nunity Plann~r~g and Develop~ent Diviszon r~zth regards ta the sponsars
subrnittir~q an app~icatian for transitional hausinq. It was confirmed that ar~
application has been submitted under the Sup~artive ~lous~ng Program, for 24
~n:ts of transitianal housing by U~ward 8ound liouse of Santa Monica, Inc.

WhiTe it is clear that the sponsors have subr~itted appl~catio~s to Hl~a
under two dif~Ferent ~r~Qgrarns, each pragram has its' o~vn requ~remer~ts an~
funding selections are based an tf~e applications ability to meet al~ of tt~e
outstand~ng a~jectives of each program. 1~le have no objection to the sponsors
sub~itting appZicat~on under ~nore than or~e of our hausing pragrams. Rgain,
let ~as assure tfi~at our programs canr~ot be ~sed for any one organization's use
or g~in.
If you have ar~y o~her questions regard~ng this matter, please co~tact me
at (213) 251-7030.
Very sinEerely yours,

T~s letter ~s to express my opposition to any var~ances for the Upward Bound House
develapments and to rec~uest that the Conditional Use Perrrut have strong safeguards for the
neighbonng area
I ljve a short block away from the proposed deueloprnents and in the past several years have
attended tw-o put~lie r~eetcngs about Upward Bo~tnd Ttus ~etter and the two meet~ngs are t~e
extent of my involvement
I oppase vanances for these developments because I feel they vv~li increase the l~kelihoad that
the de~elopments ~~Il ~e demmental to the neighborhoad W~th the Upward Bound House
develapments, the potent~a~ nsks far the ne~ahborhood are an increase in enme and the lowenng
of the quality of l~fe because the area ~s more densely populated
I feel tl~at the Canditional Use Permrt should terminate the use of the parking area by the Church
xrnmed~ately ~f neighborhood concerns such as cr~me and a ciecrease in the quaiity of (ife are
real~zed This is felt to be necessary so that Upward Bound House and the Methodist Church will
have a strong mat~~ation to make sure those risks are less l~kely to occur
I feel it ~s appropnate thaz the restrictions and eondit~ons ptaced upon these de~~eiopments are
raore stnngent than those placed ~apon other developers A church or a group assocaatea ~vrth a
ehurch is sponsor~ng the det~elopments and the public has a higher leve~ of expectation from such
groups Stronger restnctians are necessary to both safeguard the nelghborhood and fulfill what
the neighborhoad expects from orgamzatians associated with a church

City of Santa Monica October 25, 1993
Sub~ect: Text Amendment 92-001, etc.
The City should not allow anything that would not be in
harmony with the existing neighborhood. This praject would, in
effect, be a Zarge hotel in the middle of a res~dentiaZ ar~a.
Many "transitional" peopZe are mentally ill. How will they
be screened out? How wilZ "visztars" be kept away? If I wer~ a
senior citizen, I would not want to live next to ~ransitional
housing. How will occupancy be maintained? Will the vacant
senior housing be occupied by more transi~nts?
How wiZl the seniors and the tran~ients be protec~ed from
being greyed upon? This wiZl, after ali. be an "attractive
~uisance." Will there be armed guards? High fenc~s topped with
razor wire?
Inevitably, the project will run into financiai difficulty,
perhaps withzn a few years. Will i~ sit vacant? Will it be
~urned into a cheap hotel? Who will pay to tear it down? What
quarantee is there that the money to ~ear it ddwn will be
a~ailable?
Not only will the neighbarhood be permanently damaged, but
property values will fall. Businesses on Wilshzre and Montana
wilZ suffer. The tax base will decZine. This wi~l be another
con~ribution to the downward spyroll of the City of Santa Monica.
I do not belie~e the City has adequateZy addressed any of
the foregoing and I vehemently ob~ect.
Sincerely.

Ladies and Gent].emen:
I ob~ect to the subject amendment, per~uits, and variances.
mhere is no need for the s~nior hausing. Existing senior
housing is experiencing very high vacancy rates and is struggling
~ust to get by. Ask ~he California Associatian of Homes fox the
Aging.
There is no need for a parking structtare. For about fovr
years, I have li~ed within about ~QO yarc3s of t~e Me~hodist
Church parking lot and have never noticed a parking problem or
traffic problem in the area. If they are having a problem, they
are handling it admirably,
I do not belie~e the City has adequately addressed the
noise, traffic, and crime impacts associated with the
c~nstruction of such a large project in a residential area.
Neither do I believe the C~.ty has adequateiy addressed the
impacts of the complete~ project. Th~se incZude increased
traffic, bo~h vehicie and pedestrian, littering, panhandli.ng,
trespassing, urinating i.n public, graffiti~ panhanc~lir~g, and
crimE.
Even now, I am often awakened by shopping carts rattlinq
down the a~ley and people rummaging through dumpsters. This
morning, I saw two tramps in ovr alley b~fore I reached the
street. A while ago, I ca~ne across six men hanging around
togeth~r in the alley.

Dear r ~~ ~ ~~~
RE: UPWARD BOUNA H~USE APPLICAT~ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL
We would like to take this oppartunity to express our support for
the Upward Bound House project.
We know that the City Council is aware of the increasing number
of hameless peopl.e in the United States af America. In our corner
of the US we are more than aware of this increase and battle to
addr~ss the needs of our ].ess fartuna~e countrymen and women.
Th~ difficulties in this batt}.e include that the homeless are a
diverse group af peop~e. To address their diverse needs we have
needed to estabiish a~ange of services and programs. One svch
service is Upward Bound. By pravid~.ng housing to fatni~ies Upward
Bound has provided another string to the bow of hameless services
in Santa Monica.
The problems of being hvmeiess and maintaining a family are often
insurmountable and we find that in many instances families have
to be s~Zit or are split because of ~he presse~res of being
homeless. Meanwhi.lst we know that one of the reasons that people
remain homeless is a lack of ties to others. Isolation can l~ad
to a destructive ~ath for many and has meant that many remain
homeless. Hameless wamen who have led their children t~ken from
them can became traumatized and less resilier~t ta the pitfalls of
their homelessness. The work of Upward Bound is consequently
p].aying a mast canstructive ra~e in a~~eviating the daffic~lties
af homalessness anc3 reduc~ng the number of long-term homeless
people.
~ ~n~~~
We hope that you will suppo~t their application in order that
homeless families can maintain thems~lves such ~~at they can he
in a better posi~ion to sur~ive to better personal economic times
and to overcome their homelessness.
We hope that the need for Upward Bound's expansion is duly
appreciated and that you look favorably upon its application. We
wau~d be more than happy ta discuss with you further the
excellent work o~ Upward Bound and the ~mportant role it plays
within homeless services in tha Westside.
Yours sincerely,
~

Dear Mr Teachworth

1685 Ma~n Sireet, P O Box 2304
Santa Mon~ca, CA 9U407-2200
This letter is ~n respanse to your corresgondence to Drum~nond Buckley of October 24 a~d
Navember 11, 1993
The fa~lowrng respanses are ta the po~nts ~ade in your ~etters
- The tra~c study is based on average traffic generation for senior housing as
determmed by the Instrtute af Transportation Engmeer's Tnp Generat~vn, 5th Edition,
as noted on page 4 af the October 27, 1943 Plamm~g Commission staff report
(attached} Th~s u~format~on is based an studies of other senior hausing pro~ects, no
conditsons wil~ 5e imposed which restrict residents' mobility dunng peak traffic hours
- There will be na condit~ans lunituig the awnership vf cars by occupants vf the
pro~ect Hvwever, grven that the pro~ect wtll be d~ed restricte.~ for occu~ancy by low
and ~er<< low income restdents, it is expe~ted that there will be less automabile
ownership t~an found ~ the generaI populanon The resfdenis of the transitional
housing facilrty must have the potential to earn a l~~uzg {they will not be requued to be
employed at the t~me they move inco rhe facility}
S aa~ao

- As yau nate tn your ietter, parking spaces do nat generate demand for more parktng
As for the actrv~ry ~e~e~s at the church, the PIaniung Commission did not see the need
to Iunit these actzvit~e5 because the c~urch ~s currentl~~ operauonal If ex~st~ng gark~ng
requirements were applied to the ex~sting c~urch faciliry, a minimum of 535 spaces
would be required `I"his figure excludes the preschaal use at the churcl~, but accvunts
far the $50-seat sanctuary, 1,200 square foot chapel, 5,888 square foot social hall,
18,000 square faot educatlon bui~~mg, ar~c! churc~ of~ce uses Based on thls
infQrmation, it appears clear that the proposed 477 church park~ng spaces are not
exces5ive and wtll address an existing parking defic~ency at the church
- As you nate on pages 3-~ of yaur letter, the proposed EIR mitigation of requiring
church spaces to be ut~l~zed only by church members may be caunterproductive to
meet~ng the parking needs of the facilrty Far th~s reason, this measure was not
included in the cond~tions of approval for the project.
- The CaIiforrua Env~ron~ental Quality Act (CEQA} rec~uires that aiternat~ves
(incl~ding alternat~r~e sites) to the proposed pro~ect be e~aluated m the EIR These
aIcernatives are sometimes not feasibie for economic reasons. In the case of the
alternati~e srtes analyzed m the Upward Baund EIR, they are economically infeasible
because they wauld requue the purchase of land by the de~eloper, whereas the
proposed pro~ect fnvolves the use of land already owned by the develaper A full
anatysis of the develo~er's finances is not requEred by CEQA.
- Plamm~g staff and Plann~ng Commission re~iew of a pro~ect does not requu~e an
analysis of where pro~ect funding comes from Rather, glatuung re~lew focuses on the
environmental ~rnpacts of rhe pro~ect an~ the conformity of the project w;th all relative
munic~pal code requirements You state that you have contacted the Federal
Department af Hous~ng and Urban Development regard~ng their fund~ng of the pro~ect
I suggest yau d~rect any further quesuons regardmg funding to that agency, as well as
to the developer You may also contact the City of Santa Momca Housing Div~s~on at
{310} 458-8702 regarding any praposed or ex~st~ng Crty fi~nds which may or may not
be sgent on this pra~ect
- The propose~ proJect wiIl cantain three points af ingress and egress, not two, as you
state an pages 6-7 of yvur letter For a more detailed descnption of c~rcu~ation at the
site, please refer to pages 6-8 of the attached staff report
- To the ~xtent that the ~and ~n~olved with this pro~ect is owned by a tax-exernpt entity,
there wouid be no unpact on property tax revenue to the C~ty of Santa Manica
- The pro~ect size was reduced by the applicant on the~r own accord Staff d~d not
know that the pro~ect size would be redt~ced when the applxcatXOn was filed and the EIR
was be~un in 1992 It is t~ie applicant's prerogatsve to reduce the sfze vf the pro~ect or
make other changes wh~ch do not increase the envuonmental ~mpacts of the propasal
and wh~ch are wjthin the parameters of any conditions impvsed on tt~e applrcant
- 2 - s ~~20~
- If yau wauld ltke a tape record~ng of the Octaber 27, 1993 Plaruung Commrss~on
gubl~c hear~n~, please subm~t four 90-min~te cas5ettes to the Publ~c Counter, Room
I11, Ciry Hall, ta the attention of Kyle Ferstead Ms Ferstead wi~l duplzcate the
recording of ihe hearin~ onta your tapes and reritrn them ta yo~
- Your Octaber 24, 1993 ietter was recei~ed by this office approxamately two days
prror to the October 27, 1993 public heanng A copy of the letter was dzstr~buted to
the Plannuig Commissioners at the hearmg Any future staff reports an this pro~ect
will ~nclude a copy of your letter and a copy~ of th~s ~etter
- Please cal~ Dr~mmond Buckley regarding the purchasmg of the Final and Draft
EIR's. The Fu~al EIR uicludes a complete version of the Draft EIR, so I arr~ not sure
whether want three or suc copies af the document Also, if you want ttus Di~ision to
mail you copres of the EIR, yvu w~lI need to pay fc~r postage
- Finally, in response to yo~r last two questions on your Na~ember 3, 1993 letter, the
law firm of Lawrence and Hardin~ is listed on the appi~cation as the legal
representative of the appltcant, and the P~anning Commission approved a total of 78
seruor uruts and 22 trans~tlonal uiuts (includu~g a total of two managers ututs} an

On Fnday, October 22, a staff report regard~ng tlus pro~ect v~°iIi be available at the Plaruung

Fjnal EIR is aiso a~ailable at th~s locat~on, as you have been previously notified The Fuial
EIR js costs ~10 00 plus tax. '1'he staff regort is free of charge.
In ~esponse to your October 15, 1993 letter
The pro~ect applicant made staff aware af t~e reduction in project size shortly after the Fuial
EIR became a~fa~lable. The app~ccant stated that the reduction was made for fu~ancral
reasons The reduction in the s~ze of the pra~ect does not requue any revisions to the Fuial
EIR because the reduction does not have the potential to ~ncrease the environmental unpacts
of the gro~ect_ Rather, it can be expected that environmental impacts af the pro~ect (such as
traffic generation) will be reduced as a result of ttle change.
A significant increase in the size or scope of #he pro~ect may result in the requuement of a
revised EIR However, sutce no increase irt size is proposed, and because I do not want ro
en~age in speculation, it is nnt passible for me to define the parameters or threshold under
wh~ch a revlsed EIR wauld be requued for an ~ncrease in pro~ect size or scope

was issu~d in ~ctober, 1992; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Comple~ion of a Draft Environmen~aZ Impact
Repor~ as published in March, 1993, in compZiance wi~h the
California ~nvironmental Quality Act and the City af San~.a Mon~ca
CEQA Guidel~nes; and
WHEREAS, in ?~ugust! 1993 ~ the Fi.nal Env~.ronmen~al Impact Report was
published, a~d
WHEREAS, or~ October 27, 1993 the Planning Commission, as L~ad City
Agency, reviewed and certified the F~.nal. Environmental Impact
Report,
WHEREAS, an January 18, 1994, the City Council reviewed the Final
EnvironmEntal Im~act Report after the Planning Cort~mission's
certifica~~on was anpealed,
~OT~, TH~REFORE, THE CITY COLNCIL OF THE CTTY OF SAivTA uONICA DOES
~EREBY RESOLVE AS FOL~OWS:
SECTIO~ 1. The ~ity Courcil has revi~wed and considered the
rina~ Environmental Impact R~port on ~he Upward Bound Affordable
Hous~ng Pro~ect loca~ed at 1011 ll~h Stree~ and 1020 12th Street
prior to and in conrec~ion with its determina~ion of wnether or not
to approve the project.
SECTION 2 The City Counci~ certif~~s tnat the environmEn~al
review for ~he pro~ec~ was conducted and the Environmenta~ Impact
Repcrt was prepared in fu11 compiiance with State and City CEQA
Guidelines, Cha~ there was adequate public review of the Draft
Environmental ~mpact Report, that it has considered alI cornments on
the Draft Environmenta~ Impact Report and responses ~o camments,
that ~hp Final Enviran~en~a1 Impac~ Report adequate~y discusses all
signif~cant environmental issues, and ~hat ~he City Council has
cons~dered the contents ot ~he Final Environmental Impac~ Report in
its decision-making process.
SECTION 3. Consistent with Artic~e V7, Sect~on 12 of the City
CEQA Gu~de~~nes and Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidel~nes, the
City Council finds tha~ the~e are no reasonable and availab~e
a~ternatzves to the pra~ect ~hat would significantly and
substantially reduee the impact on the environment which would
accomplish the projec~ ob~ec~ives, and would be consistent wi~h the
land use goals of the Ci~y as set forth in the standards of the
Zoning Ordina~ce «rd Gen~ral Plan The or.ly unavoiaa~le adverse
i~pact iden~~fied in ~he FinaZ ~IR is the impact o~ construction at
the site, whicn will be tem~orary and will be substan~ially
rnitiga~Ad by a numbea of construction mitiga~ion measures,
~ncluding, but not ~imited to, limit~ng the hours dur~ng which
constructioz wzll be pe~mitted, requiring measures to minimize dust
emissions, and reducing the amount of noise genera~ed during
construction. The pro~ect is cansistent with affordable housing
object~ves conta~ned wzthin the Houszng E~ement of ~he GEneral Plan
and resident~aZ ~and use objectives cantained within ~he Land Use

A security fizm will be contracted to provide patrols as well as on-
call and emergency back-up to the on-site security person and s~aff.
If the cameras show a situation that needs attention the guard will
call the pol~ce or the secur~ty patrol. If it is an immedlate

EXECUTTVE SUNIIN'AR~
TASff FORCE MANDATE
In March of X991, the Santa Monica City Council appointed a citizen's Task
Force on Homelessn~ss. The Task Force was given the mandate to
formulatie recammendations on immediate and long-terrn action for the City
to better respond to the grovving crisis of homelessness in Sanfia Monica.
The Task Force was asked to come ug urit.h a ba~anced agproach which
considers the n~ed for assi~tar~ce and services for hame~ess people, pubiic
sa.fety for all peaple fn Santa Monica, and advocacy to urg~ the Coun~y, Sfate
and Federal government..s to salve this growing cris~s. The City Council-
approved staff report deta~ljng the Task Force membership, mission and
goals is included as Appendix A of this Report.
A NATI~NAL CRISIS: MANAGIlr3G f)N A LOCAL L~VEL
Homelessness is a national tragedy which requires national solut~ons. Cities
across the United States are increasfngly impacted by the magnitude of this
crisis. A 30-City survey by the U.S, Conference of Mayors (1990) fndicated
that every responding C~ty ~eept one expected #he demand for emergency
food and shelter for homeless people to increase during the next year. ~
It is difficult for a small municipal gover~ment in a aia,~or metropoiitan
region to ~m~lement adequate local solutions to end homelessness. Here in
Santa Monica and elsewhere in t~ie United States, com~unit~es must c-~;~ for
ma,jor structural, policy and funding changes on a national level. The City
must advoeate for the County. State and Federal governments to create the
palicies and funding required to end homelessness in the United States.
However, i~ is equally imuartant that municipalifies, such as Santa Monica,
assist individuai homeless people and play an act~ve rale in locally managing
this crisis. The City of Santa Monica has done more than most cart?munities
to help the people that society would like to forget. However, the City's lack
of a comprehensive, coordinated and proactrve policy on homelessness has
p~ayed a role in the presEnt chaotic policy environment.
The number of homeless peaple in San~a Monica is estirnated to b~ ~.000-
1,500 on a given rught and 3,00~-5,000, including persons in shelters and
on the streets, over the course of a year. The number of people requiring
housing and sezvices is greater than the community's resources to assist
them It must be recognaz~d that there are physical and ~inanci.al litnfts to
the number of hameless people that the City of Santa Monica can shelter or
serve. Furthermore, Santa Monica is but one municipality in a~arge
metropo~itan area. Consequently, the City is verS~ dependent upon other
governmentaI agencies and the cooperation of surrounding cities for a
regional solution. Homelessness has no geographic boundaries.
I - OD2~9
~ _
,
~
~ Therefore, Santa Maruca shauld nat and cannot shouIder the burden far
~ exclusively funding the extensive array of services and public safety effarts
~ proposed ~n th~s Report. Rather. the City should take a leadership role in
Y advocatu3g for all government entihes to take on their fatr share. Whi~e the
City of Santa Monzca must continue to assist in the crEation of needed
prograEns and provide funding to support cammunity-based services, ft
should not attempt to re-create or esta~lish services sneh as the health or
mental hea~th systems wh~ch are clearly the mandate af the Federal, State
and County governments.
INTRODU~ON AND OVERVi~W, UF RECONIII+~NDAT~ONS
As in the community, the Task Force membership represents a diversity of
op~nions on the issue of hamelessness. Wh~l~ members of th~ Task Force
may have disagreed with one another and with some of the speeffic
recommendat~ons confia~ned in this Report, the membersh~p as a whole
reached consensus on the overat~ package of reeo~meridat~ons. T~fs was a
demonstration of respect for each other's vfews and a commttm~t ta the
consensus building proces~. `~he Task Force hopes that the co~~wnity will
also appreciate and respect the diverse perspectfv~s held by people
throughout Santa Monica and that the process of the Task Force will serve
as a model for the comrr~unity. Further dfscussion of the Task Force pmcess
and public input ~.s fnc.~uded as Appendix B of ~his Report.
The goal of the Task Force has been to balance #~ie legit~*nate needs and
eoncerns of all peop~e ~n #his City regardless of age, hea-~th, social or
economic status in the community. Cansequently, this Report presents a
comprehensive. cohesive package of praposal5 to protect the health and
safety of the residen~s o#' Santa Monica while setting a standard of cancern
and assistance for as many homeless people as can ~e rea~{st#cally helped by
a munic;pa2lty of 90,000 people. In so doing, we believe that Santa Monica
will also provide an e.~c~mple for other cities and levels of gavernrn~nt t4
buiId upon.
The Task Farce recommendations fall into five interdependent areas
includirtg:
• Public Health and Safety;
• Soeial Services:
• Shelter and Housing;
• Resources and Funding; and
• Advocaey and Pa~~ Luerships.
The high2ights from each of these five sections are summarized in the
following pages. The Executrve Summary must be viewed in ~he cont~t. of
the full Report. Please refer to the complete sections of the Report for
an-depth discussion, further detail and additional recommendations.
2 OOZZa
The Task Force e~cpects that when fuily unplemented, the taalanced and
interrela~ed package of recomrnendat~ons contained in this Report wzll help
to reduce ~he overall number of harne~ess people in Santa Monica. However.
successful implementatian will nat eluninate home~essness in Santa Monica.
Given that the City Cauncil charge to the Task Foree was to formulate policy
and program recommendations, the Task Force would ~ike th~ City to
develop an lmplementation plan including a co~t anaiysis within 90 days.
Furthermore, the Task Force should be reconvened at 3-month in~ervals
during the #`~.rst year of unplementatron to review and evaluate the progress
toward the so~u~ons set forth in this Report.
Public Health and Safety -
The specific rec~mmendations of th~ Public Health and Safety section must
be cansidered in a context which stresses the importance af Santa Monica
setting clear standards for behavior in public, along with a visible presence
of peopie in the co~munity to uphold those standards (police, park rangers,
outreach teams, neighbo~rhood watch groups) and consistent enforcement
and prosecution of laws. 5enous cr~mes warrant ma.xim1~m Police, City
Attorn~y, District Attorney and Court attentian, resources and actian.
The recommendations outlined fn thfs section a~tempt to promote
constructive solutions to specif'ic prob~em behaviors rather than target a
class or group of people. Clearly. being homeless is not a cr;me. Respectful
and h»rnan~ treatment of others must be a comerstone of the standards for
publfc behavior. This is relevant to alI-residents, ~ homeiess people,
business people, tourists, pQlice, e~c.
Furthe~more. #he Task Force has deter~nined that there a~e serious public
heaith and safety issues in the City of Santa Manica. Public tesr{m ~ny and
wntten comrnunicat~ons ta fhe Task Force corroborates this eoneern, Many
in the community feel the need for the City of Santa Monica to take bold and
dramat~c action to restore feelings of safety, increase accesstbi~ty and meet
basic health ~fiandards in publ~c p~aces, particularly in the City parks. This
need to reciaim and control parks and public spaces is particular~y
important for ~hildren, fa~ilies, seniors and women, who may feel the most
vulnerablE and at risk far crime and therefore may fee~ unable to use the
parks and street~ freely.
The following is a summary of key Task Force recommendations relating to
Public Health and Safety.
Citizens should be encauraged to different~ate between perceived and
actual threats to their safety. 4nly actuai threats should be subject to
crimina~ penalt~es.
3 002 ~ ~.
2. Santa Moru~a should unplement a pohcy of zero toierance toward:
• Violent cnmes;
~ Sale or use of illegal drugs;
• Aggress~ve or antrusive panhandlu~g: and
+ Pubhc drinking and drunkenness.
3. Increased enforcement and encouragement of citizen reporting of
trespassing on private property.
4. With regard to lodging and sleeping in parks and other public p~aces,
the Task Force recommends police enforcPm~nt of the laws necessary
to proteet.p~t;r_ heaith-and ~afPtvrwh+~~ faG~1SZng on #he enforcen~ent
af those ~aws necessary to crack down on vio~ent cr~ne, illegal sale or
use of drugs. aggressive panhandlfng, publfc drunkenness and public
health viola~ions. The Task Force a~so recam~ends fihe adoption of an
ord~nar~ce prohihiting enc~~pments ~n public p~aces.
5. The Task Force reco~~~a~.ds the expansfon af atternatEve sentencing
progr?ms. Alternat~ve sentencing should include co~munfty serviee
and public wflrks progr~~s we well as drug and alcoho~ treatn-~nt
programs.
6. A C~~ilian Ass~stance Tea~ using a socisl service approach shou~d be
implemented to enhance e~sting outreach efforts and p~rovide a cost
~ffective means to tsansport publicly fntaxicated people to
detoxification facilzties and other servfces.
7. Ensure that a~l public restrooms inc~uding showers are properly
mainta~ned, cleaned, secure, available, accessib~e and have clear
signage.
8. Enhance park infrastructures, including lightfng, mafntenance and
facility unprovements. In order to fncrease #he general public's u~e of
parks, develop addit~ona~ visib~e recreation activfties for all parks.
Social Serviees
For more ~kian a decade, the City of Santa Mor~ca has assisted in funding a
vanety of sacial service ageneies which comprise a network of basic
eFnergency ser~rices to poor and homeless indiv'rduals. The ma~i fvcus af
these services has been to provide far the most basic human needs such as
faod, cloth~ng, outreach, day services for mentalty ill, government benefits
ass~stance, h~alth services and bas~c emergency sh~iter. {Appendix C
includes a chart of socia). services fQr Santa Monica homeless geople.) While
the current netwark of services provides an unpressive array of emergency
services, there is a severe shortage of programrn~ng that addresse5
rehabilitation and stabil~zation-including placements in permanent
housing. The Task Force believes that large emergency programs not
4 00222
strongly luiked to necessary suppart services ~nll nat prov;de permanent
solutions, nor reduce #he overail number of homeless peop~e in Santa
Manica. The priority target populations are fhe homeless mentally ill,
hom~less adults and homeiess famiiies.
Th~ following fs a summary of recammended Soc~ S~rvice init~atives.
3. , Mauitain current City-funded services.
2. Place a new emphasis on ~~ployment programs, including a propo5ed
employment center.
3. Link all meal programs_to services, move fhem indoors, limit size to
50 persons per seating or less, begin a reservatzon system and
establish neeessary regulations to prohib~t ongo~ng outdoor food
distribution.
4. F~cpand current day center availability to 7 days per week.
5. Expand cas~ rnanagement ~or homeless prev~nt~on and "after care"
when people are housed.
6. Advocate for the improvement of Los Angeles County health and
mental heal~h services to homeless persons in Santa Monica. This
inciudes full implementatian of Caunty pians to ensure triat Santa
Monica West is a functioning madel menta~ he~th clfns.c with a
mandate ta serve homeless persons in greater n»m~ers than currently
served.
7. Develop a comprehensive, coordinated plan for homeless services
whieh includes training and ~oint planning between area agencies
which serve the homeless and various City departments and the
5chooI District.
8. DesFgn Caty-funded socia.2 service programs should be designed so that,
to the e,actent an u~dividual is mentally and physically capable of doing
so, they participate in a plan of rehabilitation to inelude: employment.
if ~obs or job train~ng pmgr~ms are avaflable; the Ut~~~~a~fon of available
services, inciuding, where ~nd~cated, mental healtil, drug or alcohoi
rehabilitation programs; and responsibility for the maintenance and/or
operation of sErvice facil~ties.
Shelte~ and Housin~
Hous~ng is a vita~ part of the comprehensive program addressing the
permanent needs of homeless people. Housing the homeless Zs our goal.
While ~ack of housing ~s a problem th~t requires Federa~ and State
interventron, there is much that the City of Santa Mon~ca can do ta develop
ver_y lo~ cost and affordable ho~s~ng in our ~ommuruty.

The array of newly proposed housing projects would reflect the same
balance of populations as the continuum of services in Santa Monica. Tn
desigr~ng th~s continut~m we want to avoid situations where people rece~ve
sheiter and/or housing support but are forced to re~urn to the streets
because they are not ab~e to live independen#~y.
Housing development requu-es seve~l vears and t~hree specifir pro~ect.~ have
alreadv be~un to secure func~tn~. ~ Therefore, the Task Farce recommencls]
~the fc~llnwin~ ~mn,p~iate priorities and urges the City's full coonerat~on. J

Resources and F~ndin~
The Task Force requests that the City include a cost analysis as part of the
implementation plan for #his Report vv~thin 90 days. Fundin.g sources must
primar~ly include Federal. State and County governments along with private
sector support. Within that conte~, the following additfonal revenues could
be provided by the Ciiy.
i. Through an agreement with the County of Los Angeies, utiltr~ revenues
from an increase in parking ticket fines, fram the current $13.00 to
$23.00 per ticket, a level consistent with surrounding com~unfries.
2. Ma~m~T-e funds available fmm the Califarniia Housing Finance Agency
and other sources for the development of housing units.
3. Provide a one time payment fn the ~mount of $500,000 frorn City's
reserve funds or other City resources to be used for capftal expenses of

~NITIATIVE: ( PRUGRAM-BASED TR.ANSITIONAL HOUSING
PROBLEM
Fn order to mave from homelessness to stahi~ity, homeless adults and
fam.iiies need adequate tiine (~ometimes up to two years) and sufficient
support to rebuild their ~ves, address health and menta] health issues,
~djust to a more stable lifestyle and save money for independent l~ving.
Short-tei~ crisis shelter does not afford enough time and program support
to mak~ such a transition passible and successful and often serves as simply
a revolving door back to the street.
VALUES
The go~1~ of program-based transitianal housing are:
I. To assist people in getting off the street p~iu~anently and resoci~l~Ted
- to a more stable lifestyle;
2. To provide the ne~essary support services to assist resident
participants to obtafn emp~oyment, benefits, menta~ heaIth care if
neede~, jvb training, p~i~~anent hous~ng; and
3. To requfre ~articipation by the resident/participant fn the
deveiopment of a p~an of action toward fncome support and
per~rament housing inc~uding paying a portion of one's public benefi~ts
or income for monthly rent.
POIdCY
'I`ransitional housing (usually desi~ied for up to a 2-year length of stay) can
take many fo~ ~us including da~ ~Itontes, shared and congregate faci~i~ies or
apartments, self-help housing, semi-pnvate sleeping areas.
Developinent of such facilities could ~nclude purchase and rehabi~itat~on of
existing buildings, new construction, oF rental units ieased by an agency for
transitlonal hausing.
Such program-based housing is a prianty for City support as it is the most
effec#ive in facilitat~ng a permanent move away from home~essness and
shQUld be designed to serve speci~ic popu~ations in need (e.g., mentally i11,
families, single adults, youth, etc.)

PROGRAM
The fol~owing are prion~es for deve~opment of program-based transitional
housing/she~ter:
I. 24-urait transitiona~ housi.ng faci.l~ty for home~ess families pmposed by
F~rst Method~s~ Church; ~
2. 55 bed transftronal housing program for adults proposed by Ocean
Park Communi~ Center,
3. One or two new maximum 50-~5 bed transitional housing or
permanent faryljtie~ (which _could include congregate or shared units);
4. Reinstate opera~ang funds to add 6 transitional housing units to St.
Joseph Center's Next Step Program; and
5. In consultation with residents and business peop~e. the Planning
Com~r,~ssion and City s#~~' should revise housfng codes and ordi~-ances
(e.g., building and zoning eodes, parking requfrements, and densfty
~tmi#.s) to facilitate the est~hlishment of transitional housin~ projects.
An addftiona~ category tnat a~~qws ~or transiuonat housing nn~ght de
included in muitifaxni]y, commerc~~I, and industrial nefghborhoods.
Parking requfrem~nts far such use shouid be set at a Ievel which
recognizes the low parking demand likely ~o be generated by
transitional housing. .

~nTITIATIVE: PERMANENT _HOUSING
PRUBLEM
In I980 the FEderal gavernment spent 7Q/o af its budget on housing. In
I988 it spent .?°/a of the budget on housing.
According to Southern Califarnia Association of Governments (SCAG), the
regional plaruZing body, Santa Monica has a jobs/housing imbalance. There
is a direct connection between ~aek of p~~ ~~anent housing for Iow and very
law fncame people and the problem af homelessness in our carrlmunity and
in the nation. Per~anent housing is created over time and, converse~y, the
lack of p~~~uanent housing today stems fram lack of and failed policies of
Federat, State and local gavemment.
We see fihe results daily-people are living on the streets of America today.
A category of rental housing includes the single room occupancy (SRO} hotel
and boarding or roo~ng houses, which is generally the least exp~ns~ve
housing and frequently the only housing optfon avafiable to the lowest
income hous~ho~ds. Theze are few xemair~ng xe~ources of thfs type in the
City. Since 2980, nine SRO hotels have been closed, removing a total of 327
iow cost unfts from the housing stock.?
VALUES
Decent and affordable housing is a basic human need and should be available
to every ci~izen, regardless of their psychological or sociologica~ status.
Santa Moruca desires to be an ecanonucally balanced cornmunfty.
POIaCY
The development of housing for low-income people should be a major~
priority for the Cit~ of Santa Mon~.ca. ~ The City shoula reorganfze ~ts
prionties to spend its sta.ff and monetary resources towards achieving annual
targets of housing unit goals to increase the City's low income housing stock
and de~elop a varieiy af ho~sing aptians as described in this Repart.
The City should utilize parcels of land it current~y owns for the d~velopment
of low and very ~ow ineome housu~g.
The City's Housing Element should be reevaluated in light af recent
dawnzoning of residentral areas. The State of California has caufiioned the
C~ty about the further downzaning as a mechan~sm that inhibits the bwlding
of housing. The Task Force shares these concerns.

PROGRAM
1. The City shou~d support the developrr~ent and e~edite the planning
~}~QC~SS far Step Up an Second proposed 36-un2t SRO housing
development for mentaYty ill adu~ts.
2. The City should not down~.one any other areas of the City where there
_ exists the possibility of buildzng housing.
3. The City should suppart prajects currently beginning the planning
process that will provide SRO's
4. Santa Monica should iook at ways to increase the n~~mber of units
w~thout necessarily increasing the allowable footprint and
development envelope of a bui~ding, i.e., smaller units that wauld
necessarily be more a#'fordable.
5. The City should look at ways to encourage congregate housing to be
built
6. The City should create incentives to encourage ~11 builders of
affordable housing such as Community Corporation to set aside a set
percentage of their~units for fo~~u~r~y .homeless people cvming ou~ or
Lrogram5 anCi other seif-help housing groups.
7. The City should deve~ap a plan to ensure that mixed use projECts in
. which housing has been approved actually do indude those housing
units when the pro~ect is complete and occupied.
8. The City should convene a s~~mmit betwEen #he Planning and Housulg
Comrnissions. Land Use and Transportation Management Depar~ment,
Housing Division, and Rent Control Board to create an integrated low-
cost housing plan for the City.
9_ City parking lots and City-owned land shou~d be pursued as e~ecially
suitable sites for use of air n~hts to build affordahle housing. ~The City
shou~d al.so actzvely pursue the use of pnvately owned parxing ~ots far
low-income housin~ develapment.
10. Encaurage develapers to develop partnerships with non-profit
agencies to meet requirements far affordable housing deveiopment.
11. The City should suppart invalvement of pnvate lenders in financing
the first few years of acquisitian and develapment costs for new
housing pro~ects which would be guaranteed by the City with money
set aside for #his purpose.
22. The C~ty should make a public statement of aIl City-owned land, both
within and outs~d~ the C~ty liriuts, w~th maps shovsnng locations.

13. The City shouid consider reducing processing fees for affordable
hvusang pra~ ects.
14. The City should work with Rent Control Board and landlord
eommunfty to encourage rental housing owners to rema~n in the rental
housing business since private renta3 housing is one of the chief
• • sources af affordable housing in Santa Mon~ca.
15. The City should encourage the expansion of landlord part~cipation ~n
the Rent Control Board's Incentive Housing progr~m. Agreements
between ~andlords and agencies should be facilitated. These
agreements would have the following effects:
• Incseased economic viability and preservation of rental
housing;
~ Dedicat~on of units for Iow income households; and
• 4pportunities to add incentives for service agreements
between agenc.ies and landlords.

I1ITITIATIVE: PLANNING AND ZONING
PRQBLEM
~Vhile the City of Santa Mon~ca's pol~cies support the develvpment af
shelter, transitronal housing, and low cost housing. #he City's actual plaruiing
and zonfng restrictions and ~*?~~~Pmentation make it difficult to develop such
facilit~es wfthin the City limits. An ~x~~r-~nation of these ~arious
req»~?-ements could provide enormous assistance to agenciES and developers
interested in creabng a range of housing opportun~ties which woul.d ease the
homeless problem in Santa Monica.
VALUES
The Task Force supports ~he development and support of a range of small to
moderately-sized, decentra~i~ed shelter, transitional and per~anent hou~ing
options scattered #hroughout the City designed to meet the needs of various
target groups among the homeless popu~ation. The concept of each
neighborhood housing its "fair share" of facili~ies is eneouraged.
Housing facilit~es shou~d promote a dign~fied envfranment cvmpatibie with
the surrounding neighborhood. AIl facilities should promo~e a good
neighbor policy among the resident part~cipants.
Historically plann~ng and zoning reqwrP~ents in various cities have served
to restnct access to hausing for special populations EE.~., the mentally ~,
law income families) and effecti~ely discraminated against spE~ial needs
groups. Santa Maruca must ease its zoning and planning restric#ions to end
this d~scnmznatron not only because it is poor public policy but a~so because
it could be in v~alation of the Americans w~th Disabilihes Act of 1991.
POIaGY
I. The City's Zoning Code and Building Codes should be ~~ended to
remove some of the resfiric#~ve requirements rela~ing fo shelters for
the homeless. For exarnple, the concentratron of use provision should
_ be el~minated or relaxed as should the restnctions on numbers of
shelter beds, parking requirements, size.
2. The Zoning Code and Building Codes should be amended to provide
for separate c~assifica~ions for trans~t~anal housing and sin~le room
occupancy housin;~. /As the requiremenL regaraing parking for senior
housing has been ad,~usted to reflect the reality of senior vehicle use,
so should the parking requirements for iow and very low ineome
housing be reduced to reflect the actual Lmited or non use of vehicles
bv resxdents of these facil~t~es,
52 DOZ32
3. The development af transit~onal ho~sing and sin~~e room occupancY
ho~sin~ should Ue ~iven pnorit~ status. fSKU~s ana transi#ional nou~ur~
snould be treated in the same manner as other residential prajects in
the s~me zoning district. If a CUP (condihona~ use pe~~ut} ~s required
for residentiai use in a particular zaning district, SRO and transitionai
housing projects would be subject to that ~a~~ regulation; if a CUP i5
not requu-ed, SRO's and transitional housing projects would no~ be
- sub~ect to the regulat~on either. (Please refer to the Advocacy and
Partner5hips section for the Community Participation In Siting
Housing and Services Inifiative.) This Task Force has identified this as
an urgent issue.
PROGRAM
1. Z'he Proposition R unplementation ardinance must be written sa that
it allows payment of in lieu fees or the construction of off-site housing
to meet the developer's obliga#ion for #he provision of low-income
housing, A portion of #he in lieu fees shoe~ld be used for the
construct.ion of SRO's and shelters for the homeless. ~irthermore, a
foi~uia should be created whereby a number of SRO units or homeless
shelter beds count as a unit of housing to provide an optian for
deveiopers to build she~ters or SRD's to satisfy ~ie Proposit3on R
irnplementation ordinance.
2. The City should continue examin~ng the possibi~ity of rezoning of
portions of the C-5 Special Office District and MI Industrial District
for the full spectrum o€ multi-residential use including very low
fncome uriits.
3. The City should alter its parking requirements and restrictions on the
size af units for new affordable housing developments such as SRO's
and congregate hous~ng to facilitate the feasibility of building such
units. The reality of limited automob~le ownership and limited space
needs of individuals (well be~ow the 410 square foot minimum) must
be taken into consideration.
~f less parking is to be provided than is cailed for in the existing Santa
Monica zoning code, tenants of these SRO facilities must affirm in
their leases that they do not have cars and that they will ~ot acquire
cars. Th~s will prevent presen~ and future occupancy of these units by
persons who would then park on the street and add to the a~ready
congested street parking condxt~ons in Santa. Monica.
4. The City should consider an expanded density bonus program for
affardable housing projects in residen~ial and commereial zones.
Other incentives such as adjustments to lot coverage, setlaack, height
and other requ~rernents should also be considered.
0023~
53
~ Housxng should be a"p~~~~~itted use" in aIl cornrnercia~ xones and,
except for large projects, should not be sub~ect ta a discretionanT
review process
6. Provide sign~cant ir~centives such as FAR (floor area ra#io) bonuses or
he~ght exceptians for inclusion of targeted housFng ~n mixed use
projects in commercial zones.
7. The City should study the Americans with Disabilities Act to see how it
can apply to aid those churches and social service providers
attemptang ta build housing.
