COMMUNITY CAMPUS ENHANCEMENT PROJECT LOCATED
AT 725 CALIFORNIA AVENUE, ADOPTING A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING
CONSIDERATIONS, AND ADOPTING A MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, an Environmental Impact Report was prepared which analyzes the
environmental effects of the St. Monica Catholic Community Campus Enhancement
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the. City Council, as Lead City Agency, reviewed the Final
Environmental Impact Report in full compliance with State and City CEQA Guidelines;
and
WHEREAS, on April 13, 2010, the City Council certified that the Final
Environmental Impact Report was prepared in full compliance with State and City CEQA
Guidelines.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica CEQA
Guidelines and Sections 15128 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines, the Initial
Study/Notice of Preparation incorporated herein by reference determined that the
5
following environmental impacts were not considered potentially significant and were
not addressed further in the Final EIR: agriculture resources, air quality, biological
resources, economics and social impacts, geology/soils, hazards and hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, land use/planning, mineral resources,
population/housing, public services, recreation, and utilities/service systems.
SECTION 2. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica CEQA
Guidelines and Sections 15091 and 15092 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines,
the City Council finds that most impacts resulting from the project can be reduced to a
level that is less than significant. More specifically, significant environmental effects, as
identified in this Section below, can feasibly be eliminated or substantially reduced to
below a level of significance. However, a significant adverse environmental effect in the
area of transportation/traffic cannot feasibly be avoided or mitigated below a level of
significance. Nevertheless, in accordance with Section 15033 of the State CEQA
Guidelines, this impact is found to be acceptable due to overriding considerations as
discussed in Section 5 below.
(a) The Final EIR determined that without mitigation, the project could have
a potentially significant effect due to construction effects. Consistent with Article VI,
Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica CEQA Guidelines and as detailed in Section 4.2
of the EIR, incorporated herein by reference, the City Council finds that the following
mitigation measures have been required in the project that will mitigate or reduce the
project's construction effect impacts to below a level of significance:
6
(1) Construction Impact Mitigation Plan. The applicant shall prepare,
implement and maintain a Construction Impact Mitigation Plan which shall
be designed to:
• Prevent material traffic impacts on the surrounding roadway network.
• Minimize parking impacts both to public parking and access to private
parking to the extent practicable.
• Ensure safety for both those constructing the project and the
surrounding community.
• Prevent substantial truck traffic through residential neighborhoods.
The Construction- Impact Mitigation Plan shall be subject to review and
approval by the following City departments: Public Works, Fire, Planning
and Gommunity Development and Police to ensure that the Plan has been
designed in accordance with this mitigation measure. This review shall
occur prior to commencement of any construction staging for the project.
It shall, at a minimum, include the following:
Ongoing requirements throughout the duration of construction:
• A detailed traffic control plan .for work zones shall be maintained
which includes at a minimum accurate existing and proposed: parking
and travel lane configurations; warning, regulatory, guide and
directional signage; and area sidewalks, bicycle lanes and parking
lanes. The plan shall include specific information regarding the
project's construction activities that may disrupt normal pedestrian
and traffic flow and the measures that address these disruptions.
Such plans must be reviewed and approved by the Transportation
Management Division prior to commencement of construction and
implemented in accordance with this approval.
• Work within the public right-of-way shall be performed between
9:OOA.M. and 4:OOP.M., including: dirt and demolition material hauling
and construction material delivery. Work within the public right-of-
way outside of these hours shall only be allowed after the issuance of
an after-hours construction permit.
• Streets and equipment shall be cleaned in accordance with
established PW requirements.
• Trucks shall only travel on a City approved construction route. Truck
queuing/staging shall not be allowed on Santa Monica. streets.
Limited queuing may occur on the construction site itself.
7
Materials and equipment should be minimally visible to the public; the
preferred location for materials is to be on-site with a minimum
amount of materials within a work area in the public right-of-way,
subject to a current Use of Public Property permit.
• Any requests for work before or after normal construction hours within
the public right-of-way shall be subject to .review and approval
through the After Hours Permit process administered by the Building
and Safety Division.
• Provision of off-street parking for construction workers, which may
include the use of a remote location with shuttle transport to the site,
if determined necessary by the City of Santa Monica.
Project Coordination Elements that shall be implemented prior to
commencement of construction:
The applicant shall advise the traveling public of impending
construction activities (e.g. information signs, portable message
signs, media listing/notification, implementation of an approved traffic
control plan).
The applicant shall obtain a Use of Public Property Permit,
Excavation Permit, Sewer Permit or Oversize Load Permit, as well as
any Caltrans Permits required, for any construction work requiring
encroachment into public rights-of--way, detours or any other work
within the public right-of--way.
• The applicant shall provide timely notification of construction
schedules to all affected agencies (e.g. Big Blue Bus, Police
Department, Fire Department, Public Works, and Planning and
Community Development Department) and to all owners and
residential and commercial tenarits of property within a radius of 500
feet.
• The applicant shall coordinate construction work with affected
agencies in advance of start of work. Approvals may take up to two
weeks per each submittal
The applicant shall obtain Transportation Management Division
approval of any haul routes, for earth, concrete or construction
materials and equipment handling.
Project Coordination shall consider any other construction projects
occurring at the same time as the construction of this project.
8
(2) Diesel Equipment Mufflers. All diesel equipment shall be operated with
closed engine doors and shall be equipped with factory-recommehded
mufflers.
(3) Electrically-Powered Tools. Electrical power shall be used to run air
compressors and similar power tools.
(4) Restrictions on Excavation and Foundation/Conditioning. Excavation,
foundation-laying, and conditioning activities (the noisiest phases of
construction) shall be restricted to between the hours of 10:00 AM and
3:00. PM, Monday through Friday, in accordance with Section 4.12.110(d)
of the Santa Monica Municipal Code.
(5) .Additional Noise Attenuation Techniques. For all noise generating
construction activity on the project site, additional noise attenuation
techniques shall be employed to reduce noise levels to City of Santa
Monica noise standards. Such techniques may include, but are not limited
to, the use of sound blankets on noise generating equipment and the
construction of temporary souhd barriers between construction sites and
nearby sensitive receptors.
(6) Construction Sign Posting. In accordance with Santa Monica Municipal
Code Section 4.12.120, the project applicant shall be required to post a
sign informing all workers and subcontractors of the time restrictions for
construction activities. The sign shall also include the City telephone
numbers where violations can be reported and complaints associated with
construction noise can be submitted.
(7) Fugitive Dust Control.Measures. The following shall be implemented
during construction to minimize fugitive dust and associate particulate
emissions:
All material excavated or graded should be sufficiently watered to
prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering should occur at least
three time daily with complete coverage, preferably at the start of
the day m, in the late morning and after work is done for the day;
All grading, earth moving or excavation activities shall cease during
periods of high winds (i.e., greater than 20 mph measured as
instantaneous wind gusts) sous to prevent excessive amounts of
dust;
All material transported on and off-site should be securely covered
to prevent excessive amounts of dust;
9
• Soils stockpiles shall be covered;
• On-site vehicle speeds shall be limited to 15 mph;
• Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit the
construction site onto paved roads or wash off trucks and any
equipment leaving the site each trip;
• Appoint a construction relations officer to act as a community
liaisoh concerning on-site construction activity including resolution
of issues related to PM10 generation;
• Sweep streets at-the end of the day using SCAOMD Rule 1186
certified street sweepers or roadway washing trucks if visible soil is
carried onto adjacent public paved roads (recommend water
sweepers with reclaimed water).
• All active portions of the construction site shall be sufficiently
watered three times a day to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
(8) .Ozone Precursor Control Measures. The following shall be implemented
throughout construction to reduce emissions of ozone precursors ROC
and NOx:
• Equipment engines should be maintained in good condition and. in
property tune as per manufacturer's specifications;
• Schedule construction periods to occur over a longer time period
(i.e. lengthen from 60 days to 90 days) during the smog season so
as to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating
simultaneously; and
• Use new technologies to control ozone precursor emissions as they
become readily available.
(9) Low ROG/VOC Coatings. All interior and exterior surfaces of the on-site
structures, if painted, shall utilize low VOC coatings.
(b) The Final EIR determined that without mitigation, the project could have
a potentially significant effect on historic resources. Consistent with Article VI, Section
12 of the City of Santa Monica CEQA Guidelines and as detailed in Section 4.3 of the
EIR, incorporated herein by reference, the City Council finds that the following mitigation
10
measures have been required in the project that will mitigate or reduce the project's
impacts on cultural resources to below a level of significance:
(1) Documentation Report. A historic preservation professional qualified in
accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards shall be selected
to complete a documentation report on the Pastoral Center and High
School East portion to be demolished. The building to be demolished shall
be documented with archival quality photographs of a type and format
approved by the City of Santa Monica. This documentation, along with
historical background of the properties prepared for this property, shall be
submitted to an appropriate repository approved by the City. The
documentation reports shall be completed and approved by the City prior
to the issuance of demolition permits.
(2) Architectural Plans. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the City of
Santa Monica shall find that the final architectural plans for the proposed
new construction conforms to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation in terms of its architectural design, proportions, bulk, scale
and materials, as it relates to the potential district. The Secretary's
Standards applicable to related new construction and alterations to historic
properties are numbers 3, 9 and 10. These standards are listed below.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its
time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical
development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from
other historic properties, shall not be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction
shall not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial
relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic
materials, features, size, scale .and proportion, and massing to
protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be
undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
SECTION 3. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica
CEQA Guidelines and Sections 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the State of California
CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that the significant environmental effect as
11
identified below cannot feasibly be avoided or mitigated to below of level of significance.
Nevertheless, this impact is found to be acceptable due to overriding considerations as
discussed in Section 5.
(a) The Final EIR determined that the project could result in significant
effects on traffic. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica
CEQA Guidelines and as detailed in the Final EIR at Section 4.6, incorporated herein by
reference, the City Council finds that the proposed project would result in a shifting of
trips to and from the site to access the proposed on-site parking. The EIR found that
the proposed project would result in a significant unavoidable impact at the following
street intersection:
• Lincoln Boulevard / Wilshire Boulevard
The proposed project could result in a significant impact at this intersection during the
weekday a.m. peak hour due to the increase in traffic traveling northbound through the
intersection, which is critical at this peak hour. Pursuant to the City's Significance
Criteria, with the intersection's projected operating level of service F (LOS F) based on
estimated future conditions (without project), this incremental increase in vehicular delay
time at this intersection would result in an impact.
As discussed in Section 4.6 of the EIR, the mitigation measures identified for the traffic
impact include that the northbound approach of the intersection be restriped to change
the existing right-turn lane to a shared through/right-turn lane and the northbound
departure leg -shall be reconfigured to provide a second northbound through lane.
12
However these mitigation measures are not feasible due to negative secondary impacts
including removal of on-street parking north of Wilshire to allow the two northbound
lanes to transition into one. In addition, if the existing roadway was widened,
landscaping would be compromised, and would result in reduced sidewalk widths and
relocation of bus stops south of Wilshire in a heavy pedestrian use area: The removal
of on-street parking reduces the number of available .parking spaces in an area where
parking is a premium for nearby residences. Removal of landscaping would affect the
pedestrian environment by removing adjacent green space. Narrowing sidewalk widths
adversely affects the pedestrian environment by reducing the area where pedestrians
may walk, potentially forcing pedestrians into the street. Since the proposed mitigation
measures would result in significant secondary impacts which cannot be mitigated, the
proposed mitigation measures are infeasible. However, as a condition of project
approval, the applicant will be required to prepare, implement, and monitor a
Transportation Demand Management strategy intended for students, employees, and
parishioners that would reduce parking demand and vehicular trips in the area.
(b) The Final EIR determined that the project could result in significant
effects on traffic. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the City of Santa Monica
CEQA Guidelines and as detailed in the Final EIR at Section 4.6, incorporated. herein by
reference, the City Council finds that the proposed project would result in a shifting of
trips to and from the site to access the proposed on-site parking. The EIR found that
the proposed project would result in a significant unavoidable impact along the following
street segments:
13
• California Avenue between Lincoln Boulevard and 7th Street;
• Washington Avenue between Lincoln Boulevard and 7th Street.
The increase in on-site parking and new weekday/Sunday circulation patterns would
result in the addition of site-generated trips on some of the street segments adjacent to
the church. Many site-generated trips that currently park on neighborhood streets and
in off-site lots would shift to use the California Avenue driveway on weekdays and the
Washington Avenue driveway oh Sundays to access the increased on-site parking. The
weekday afternoon student pick-up circulation pattern would re-route outbound trips
onto California Avenue on weekdays.
The significant impact is due to the fact that the project will increase the weekday and
Sunday average daily traffic (ADT) above the City's significance thresholds for street
segment analysis. The impact criteria used to evaluate potential traffic impacts on
street segments are based on existing ADT and the projected level of increase created
by the project.
Pursuant to the City's Significance Criteria, the project's impact is considered significant
on local streets if the existing ADT is greater than 2,250 and there is a projected
increase of one additional trip or more due to the project. The Califomia Avenue
segment is a local street, and has a current ADT of 6,313 on weekdays. The project is
estimated to shift an approximate 195 trips to this street segment during the weekday
(3.1 % increase in ADT), therefore resulting in a significant impact based on the
significance criteria.
14
The project is estimated to shift an approximate 1,056 trips to the Washington Avenue
segment during Sundays. Pursuant to the City's Significance Criteria, the project's
impact is considered significant on feeder streets if the existing ADT is greater than
3,750 (but less than 6,750) and there is a projected ADT increase of at least 12.5% (or
ADT becomes 6,750 or more) due to the project. The Washington Avenue segment is a
feeder street, and has a current ADT of 3,838 on Sundays. The proposed project is
estimated to increase Sunday ADT by approximately 27.5%, therefore resulting in a
significant impact based on the significance criteria.
As discussed in Section 4.6 of the EIR, the mitigation measures identified for the traffic
impact include the installation of traffic calming measures such as speed bumps, curb
extensions, narrowed travel lanes and enhanced crosswalks. However, these
measures would essentially shift vehicles from one street segment to another thereby
increasing traffic volume on other streets, would not reduce the number of vehicle trips
generated, and would therefore be ineffective in reducing the overall impact. Therefore,
the proposed mitigation measures are infeasible and impacts to nearby street segments
during the weekdays and Sundays would remain significant and unavoidable.
SECTION 4. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12.a (3) of the City of Santa
Monica CEQA Guidelines and Section 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the State CEQA
Guidelines, and as analyzed in the Final EIR at Section 6, incorporated herein by
reference, the City Council finds as follows:
(a) The. CEQA mandated environmentally superior alternative is the "No Project
Alternative." The No Project Alternative vuould be environmentally superior to the
15
proposed project because it would involve no change to the environment. However, the
No Project alternative is not feasible since it does not satisfy the applicant's basic
objectives for the project, including improving the facilities on the St. Monica campus
and increasing parking supply on campus. None of these benefits would be obtained if
the No Project Alternative were adopted.
The CEQA Guidelines require that if the environmentally superior alternative is the No
Project Alternative, that the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior
alternative among the other alternatives. Consistent with Article VI, Section 12 of the
City of Santa Monica CEQA Guidelines and Section 15091, 15092, and 15093 of the
State of California CEQA Guidelines, and as detailed in the Final EIR Section 6.0,
incorporated herein by reference, the City Council finds that based on the other project
alternatives, the Reduced Project Alternative is environmentally superior to the
proposed project. The Reduced Project Alternative would eliminate the proposed
project's unavoidably significant traffic impacts due to the site vehicular circulation
pattern remaining unchanged since the subterranean parking garage would not be
constructed. The Reduced Project Alternative would also reduce the project's
significant, but mitigable historic resource impacts to a less than significant level since
the demolition of the Pastoral Center and High School would not occur. However this
alternative would not fulfill the key project objective of reducing the existing parking
deficit at St. Monica and therefore would be inferior to the proposed project.
Consequently, the Reduced Project Alternative is considered infeasible.
The Expanded Pastoral Center alternative would incrementally reduce the project's
significant, but mitigable impacts and would meet project objectives related to improving
16
onsite facilities. In addition, this alternative would address project objectives related to
increasing the on-campus parking supply. However, as with the proposed project, this
alternative would result in the same level of unavoidably significant traffic impacts.
Consequently, this alternative. is not environmentally superior to the proposed project.
SECTION 5. As fully described in Section 3, the Final EIR found that the
proposed project would result in a significant and unavoidable adverse impact to
traffic/transportation. Consistent with Article VI, Section 13 of the City of Santa Monica
CEQA Guidelines and Section 15093 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines, the
City Council hereby makes a Statement of Overriding Considerations and finds that the
benefits of the St. Monica's Catholic Community Campus Enhancement Project
outweigh the unavoidable environmental impact based on the reasons stated below.
The benefits identified are each one,- in and of themselves, sufficient to make a
determination that the adverse environmental effects are acceptable.
(a) Transportation Demand Management Program: The applicant shall
implement the following TDM. plan that will reduce overall parking demand and vehicular
trips within the area:
Employee Transportation Coordinator: An Employee

of the actual number of employees, with plan fees based on the
actual number of employees. St. Monica shall prepare and file
17
Employee Trip Reduction Plans for its sites (or a multi-site plan),
that meet or exceed City requirements: St. Monica shall submit a
plan, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the
Community Center, that it believes will result in attaining and
sustaining the City-wide AVR goal of 1.5 for both a.m. and p.m.
peak periods to be achieved within two years of the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for the Community Center. Should St.
Monica not achieve the target AVR of 1.5 in any year, St. Monica
shall revise its strategies for the upcoming year subject to the

TDM effectiveness and current AVR levels and submit the
completed forms- to the City regardless of SCAQMD requirements
or other agency requirements or lack thereof.
Annual -goals for student trip reduction shall be established. St.
Monica shall. conduct the initial survey of student travel modes prior
to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to establish a baseline
and annually thereafter. Annual goals shall be established
acceptable to the Planning Director for reductions to single student
"chauffeured" trips and student vehicles parked off campus, and a
plan to achieve these goals. To the extent goals are not achieved
in any year, St. Monica's will adjust its program strategies, with the
approval of the Planning Director.

be required to participate in the formation of a geographic-based
Transportation Demand Management Association that may be
defined by the City. As part of the Land Use and Circulation
Element Update process, the City is considering establishing
Transportation Demand Management Associations. Transportation
Demand Management Associations would provide employees,
businesses, and visitors and residents of an area with resources to
increase the amount of trips taken by transit, walking, bicycling, and
carpooling. If the City adopts a requirement that a Transportation
Demand Management Association be formed for this geographic
20
area, the property owner and tenants shall assist the City on
forming such organization and participate in organizational
meetings, and provide traffic demand data to the Transportation
Demand Management Association.
• Changes to TDM Program. Subject to approval by the City's
