FROM: Jim DellaLonga, Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 24-58 — A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City of Bellflower and Alderwood Group (California), Inc., for the purchase of real property located at 9903 Flower Street (APN 7109-013-033).

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executing a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with Alderwoods Group (California), Inc. ("Alderwoods") would cause the City to purchase real property located at 9903 Flower Street (the "Property") for $3,650,000. The Property includes the former White's Funeral Home and associated parking spaces. Acquiring the Property for economic opportunity would give the City control over its future use in a manner that contributes to Downtown Bellflower's economic growth and image.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Open the public hearing; take documentary and testimonial evidence including receiving and filing a report required by Government Code § 52201;
2) After considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 24-58 amending the fiscal year 2024- 25 Operating Budget to allocate funds for the Property purchase and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney; or
3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City would pay $3,650,000 to Alderwoods to acquire the Property plus $10,000 to pay for estimated escrow fees and title insurance costs.

A budget amendment to the 2024-25 fiscal year operating budget is needed to allocate $3,660,000 in the General Fund for the purchase of the Property ($1,174,000 from the Cash Reserve for Property Acquisitions and $2,486,000 from the other available General Fund reserve).

PUBLIC NOTICE
On September 27, 2024, a Public Hearing Notice was posted at City Hall, Brakensiek Library, Bellflower Substation, Thompson Park, and Simms Park; also on September 27 and October 4, a Public Hearing Notice was published in the Los Cerritos Community News newspaper for two consecutive weeks.

Staff Report — Purchase and Sale Agreement with Alderwoods Group October 14, 2024

DISCUSSION
In September 2024, the Property was put on the market for sale for $3,900,000. The Property consists of one parcel containing approximately 9,000 square feet of buildings on 48,534 square feet of land. The property was previously used as White's Funeral Home and is no longer in operation.

Staff believes the purchase of the Property for economic opportunity, combined with the right business or developer, represents an important asset and opportunity that will contribute to this area's economic growth including an increase in property tax to all property tax collecting entities by at least 15% at full implementation of a potential project. As part of this process, the City reviewed recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower that support the total purchase price of $3,650,000, to which Alderwoods represented that it was agreeable.

Attached is a Summary Report required by Government Code § 52201 that describes the following:
a) the cost of the agreement to the City;
b) the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased determined at the highest and best uses permitted under the general plan or zoning; c) if applicable, the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased determined at the use with the conditions, covenants, and development costs required by the sale or lease;
d) the purchase price or present value of the lease payments which the lessee will be required to make during the term of the lease;
e) if the sale price or total rental amount is less than the fair market value of the interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at the highest and best use, then the city shall provide, as part of the summary, an explanation of the reasons for the difference; and f) an explanation of why the acquisition, sale or lease of the property will assist in the creation of economic opportunity (as defined by Government Code § 52200.2), with reference to all supporting facts and material relied upon in making this decision.

It is the City's intent to secure the property and sell it to a developer for a project that will contribute to the economic development of the Downtown Bellflower area. Proceeds from a future sale of the property will be returned to the City's general fund.

SUMMARY REPORT PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 52201

REGARDING A

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN THE

CITY OF BELLFLOWER AND
ALDERWOODS GROUP (CALIFORNIA), INC.

The following Summary Report was prepared pursuant to Government Code § 52201. This report sets forth certain details of the proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") between the City of Bellflower ("City") and Alderwoods Group (California), Inc. ("Seller").

Seller owns a total of 48,534 square feet (1.11 acres) of land located at 9903 Flower Street on one parcel (APN 7109-013-033) ("Property"). The Agreement requires Seller to sell the Property to the City.

The following Summary Report is based upon information required by the Government Code. It is organized into the following three sections:

I. Salient Points of the Agreement: This section summarizes the major responsibilities agreed to by Seller and the City by the Agreement.

11. Cost of the Agreement to the City: This section details the total cost to the City associated with implementing the Agreement.
111. Creation of Economic Opportunity: This section describes the existing condition of the subject property and explains how the Agreement will assist in the creation of economic opportunity.

This report and the Agreement are to be made available for public inspection prior to the approval of the Agreement and no later than the time of publication of the first required notice of the public hearing pursuant to Government Code § 52201.

I. SALIENT POINTS OF THE AGREEMENT
A. Project Description
The Project is the City's purchase of all that certain real property located at 9903 Flower Street, Bellflower, CA 90706 on APN 7109-013-033.

B. Seller Responsibilities Under the Agreement
The Agreement requires Alderwoods to accept the following responsibilities:

1. Seller agrees to sell the Property, following the satisfactory inspection(s) of the Property by the City and approval of documents produced during a maximum 45 -day Due Diligence Period.

2. Seller agrees to pay the costs associated with a CLTA Standard Coverage Police of Title Insurance showing title to the Property vested in Buyer.

Summary Report Government Code Section 52200 — Purchase and Sale Agreement — 9903 Flower Street

1 C. City Responsibilities Under the Agreement

1. The City will purchase the Property for Three Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,650,000) following satisfactory inspection(s) of the Property during escrow and the Due Diligence Period.

II. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE CITY
The cost incurred by the City to implement the Agreement is $3,650,000 for the purchase of the Property plus half of the typical escrow fees and de minimus costs for inspections and staff time to effectuate the acquisition.

III. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
The Property, located on the major east/west arterial street in Downtown Bellflower, is currently occupied by former funeral home that was previously operated by Seller. As a long-term ownership, legacy property, it is currently generating a minimum of state or local taxes. The City anticipates that the site will be developed as a housing project and intends to market the Property to produce a private development project that will create economic opportunity, as defined by Government Code Section 52200.2, by increasing property tax revenues to all property tax collecting entities by at least 15% at full implementation of a project when compared to the year before the property being acquired by the City.

Significant new development is occurring within the vicinity of the Property. This includes Edgeway Downtown Bellflower, The Mayne Events Center and Los Angeles County Fire Museum, The Bellflower Regional Transit Center and Parking Structure, SteelCraft outdoor food hall, the Downtown Collection townhomes by City Ventures, The Nest Eatery, and The Stand Up Comedy Club. The Site, located in the heart of Downtown Bellflower just east of Bellflower Blvd., is proximate to a City -owned public parking lots. Additionally, a street improvement project has been awarded by the City to complete improvements on Bellflower Boulevard from Flower Street south to the 91 Freeway.

The Property is served by all major utilities and has only been vacant for approximately six months. A potential housing development of approximately 20 units utilizing the square footage of the Property could increase the property's net assessed value almost 5 -times generating a significant increase in property tax, exceeding the required 15% increase for the various taxing entities. Furthermore, as part of Downtown Bellflower, the property is included in the Downtown Bellflower Revitalization Vision Strategy, the Downtown Bellflower Strategic Development Plan, and adjacent to the Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Area.

THE CITY COUNCIL DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. In October 2024, in response to the sale listing, the City of Bellflower ("City") made an offer to purchase the property located at 9903 Flower Street (APN 7109-013- 033) (the "Property") from Alderwoods Group (California), Inc. ("Seller") for a purchase price of $3,650,000;
B. Based on a review of recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower in March 2024, the City verified the negotiated price for the Property as a fair market purchase price;
C. Seller desires to convey the Property to the City for a purchase price of $3,650,000, which represents a fair market value for the Property; D. As set forth in the accompanying report prepared pursuant to Government Code § 52201 the City believes that the Property is an important asset that will contribute to the economic activity in Downtown Bellflower by increasing property tax revenues to all property tax collecting entities by at least 15%.

E. Notice of Public Hearing before the City Council was duly given and published in the time, form, and manner as required by law;
F. On October 14, 2024, the City Council opened a public hearing to receive and consider public testimony and other evidence regarding acquisition of the Property including, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by the Seller; and
G. The City Council considered the information provided by the Economic Development Director, public testimony, and the Seller. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its October 14, 2024, hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Economic Development Director.

SECTION 2. Environmental Assessment. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. "CEQA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), CEQA applies only to activities that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment Acquisition of the Property (by itself) does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment.

Any future redevelopment of the Property would require separate environmental review and either discretionary or ministerial approvals by the City.

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 24-58

SECTION 3. Notice of Exemption. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with Public Resources Code §§ 21152, 21167(f); CEQA Guidelines § 15075; and any other applicable law.

SECTION 4. Authorizations/Action. The City Council authorizes:
1) And directs the City Manager, or designee, to amend the FY 2024-2025 Operating Budget to allocate $3,660,000 in the General Fund account no. 012-47212-9000 to account for the acquisition of property.
2) The Mayor and City Manager to execute all documents, including, without limitation, purchase and sale agreement, escrow instructions, grant deed, closing statements, and the certificate of acceptance, in a form approved by the City Attorney, needed to implement the conveyance of the Property as contemplated by this Resolution.

SECTION 5. Preservation. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution's effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.

SECTION 6. Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 7. Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of knowledge of future events.

In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 8. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 9. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 10. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 24-58

SECTION 11. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 12. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Bellflower, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.

SECTION 13. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

Repayment of the principal and accrued interest will be deferred to when City Ventures receives the Final Certificate of Occupancy for a potential project.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Authorize the City Manager to amend the fiscal year 2024-25 Operating Budget to allocate funds for the loan agreement; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute a Loan Agreement and any associated documents with California Land Investments, LLC (City Ventures Holdings, LLC), in forms approved by the City Attorney; or
3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City would loan $3,660,000 at the interest rate equal to that paid by the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund during the term to City Ventures to acquire the Property. The loan amount includes $10,000 to pay for estimated escrow fees and title insurance costs.

A budget amendment to the 2024-25 fiscal year operating budget is needed to allocate $3,660,000 in the General Fund to loan City Ventures the funds necessary for its purchase of the Property ($1,174,000 from the Cash Reserve for Property Acquisitions and $2,486,000 from the other available General Fund reserve).

Staff Report — Purchase and Sale Agreement File No. 1064 with Alderwoods Group
October 14, 2024

DISCUSSION
In September 2024, the Property was put on the market for a listing price of $3,900,000. The Property consists of one parcel containing approximately 9,000 square feet of buildings on 48,534 square feet of land. The Property was previously used as White's Funeral Home and is no longer in operation.

In an effort to facilitate a high -quality development on the Property, staff is recommending entering into a loan agreement with City Ventures for it to purchase the property. The entitlements for a development may require a zone change and general plan amendment for residential development and a development agreement. By providing this loan, the City is able to accommodate the Seller's main requirement/objective of a quick close of escrow on the sale of the Property while allowing City Ventures the time to design and entitle a project on the Property, thereby reducing the developer's entitlement risk associated with a project of this type.

The loan is proposed to have a term of two years at an interest rate equivalent to that paid by the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund over the term of the loan. Initial discussions with City Ventures indicate that repayment of the principal and accrued interest will be deferred to when City Ventures receives the Final Certificate of Occupancy for a potential project. The loan will be secured by the Property through a deed of trust. If, during the process, City Ventures decides not to move forward with or is unable to secure the entitlements for a potential project within the term of the loan, the ownership of the Property will revert to the City plus any accrued interest.

The City reviewed recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower which support the negotiated purchase price of $3,650,000, agreed to by the Seller (Alderwoods Group (California)).

Staff believes the facilitation of the development of the Property for economic opportunity, combined with the right developer, is an excellent opportunity to contribute to this area's economic growth.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to receive and file the updated 2022 North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis.

DATE: October 14, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A parking analysis was presented to the City Council in April 2023 that outlined the current parking supply, peak parking times, and estimated parking needs in the area along Bellflower Boulevard between the Pacific Electric Right -of -Way and Flower Street.

The analysis also addressed potential parking supply impacts of angled parking and parklets. At that time, City Council directed staff to update the Parking Analysis based on changes to California law and to conduct an environmental assessment of the various parking options listed in the updated study.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Receive and file the Updated 2022 North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CEQA
The proposed actions are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.; "CEQA Guidelines") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §§ 15262 and 15306 because they involve only a planning study for possible future actions which has not been approved, adopted, or funded; and the parking analysis consisted of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which does not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. Furthermore, the parking analysis does not constitute a "project" requiring environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5) because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

Staff Report — Updated 2022 North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis October 14, 2024

DISCUSSION
The following is a review of the timeline associated with the preparation and finding associated with the North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis (Parking Analysis).

In November 2022, TJW Engineering, Inc. (TJW), initially completed the Parking Analysis, which incorporates findings from previous parking studies, includes an inventory of all public parking spaces in the north downtown area, and presents data from parking occupancy/turnover surveys. The study also examines whether angled parking spaces, outdoor dining parklets, and trash compactor enclosures could be accommodated in the area and what the associated parking impacts might be.

The analysis concludes that existing parking space capacity in the north downtown Bellflower area is sufficient to accommodate both present demand and the anticipated demand from current and recently entitled projects at that time (Edgeway Downtown Bellflower, The Stand Up Comedy Club, and the Brew Refinery).

Public Parking Management Strategies
The Parking Analysis offers several parking management strategies for downtown Bellflower, including the implementation of parking meters, the use of signage to direct drivers to other parking areas, extending the hours of restricted parking time limits, and the potential conversion of parallel parking to angled parking. Some of the benefits of these strategies include promoting turnover of parking spaces and generating revenue for the City. However, there are also costs associated with purchasing meters, enforcing parking restrictions, and modifying the roadway geometry (in the case of angled parking).

Among the mentioned public parking management strategies, the least expensive and quickest to implement would involve reorganizing parking time limit enforcement to provide heightened enforcement during times of high parking demand and lengthening the restricted parking time limits in certain lots to cover the evening hours when downtown activity is at its peak.

December 15, 2022 Special Meeting
Several issues were raised during the City Council special meeting held on December 15, 2022. Parking in -lieu fees were mentioned as one method to plan financially for the parking needs of new developments in the downtown. Concerns were raised about the safety and feasibility of installing parklets and reverse -angled parking on segments of Bellflower Boulevard. While both ideas are intended to improve the pedestrian experience, their effectiveness may depend on the specific characteristics of the roadway and would require further analysis.

There was also an inquiry about converting Adenmoor Avenue and Oak Street, east of Bellflower Boulevard, into one-way streets to accommodate more on -street parking.

However, after preliminary analysis, staff found that this would require significant changes to the intersection of Bellflower Boulevard and Oak Street and would have a considerable impact on nearby residences and service access to the area.

Staff Report — Updated 2022 North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis October 14, 2024

April 10, 2023 City Council Meeting
At the April 10, 2023 City Council meeting, staff was directed to update the Parking Analysis based upon changes to California law, specifically AB 2097, and to conduct an environmental assessment of the various parking management options listed in the Parking Analysis.

According to this direction, the Director of Planning and Building Services, as detailed in the CEQA section, determined that the Parking Analysis is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §§ 15262 and 15306, and that the parking analysis does not constitute a "project" requiring environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5).

Additionally, TJW added Section 6.5 to the Parking Analysis to examine the impact of AB 2097 on the North Downtown Parking situation. AB 2097 went into effect on January 1, 2023, and with minor exceptions, restricts cities from imposing minimum parking standards on development projects within a half -mile radius of a major transit stop also known as a High Quality Transit Area (HQTA). The Metro Light Rail Station on Bellflower Blvd. is considered a major transit stop and HQTA pursuant to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) regional transportation plan, making AB 2097 applicable to Downtown Bellflower.

The Parking Analysis concludes that if AB 2097 applicable development were to occur within the North Downtown area, based on the parking supply and demand findings and data collected as part of the analysis, a number of areas within the study area have the parking capacity to handle potential changes in parking demand due to AB 2097. Due to the delay in bringing the Parking Analysis back to City Council, the attached final version from TJW includes a number of comments in the AB 2097 discussion from the City Attorney's Office. However, these comments do not materially change the overall findings of the Parking Analysis.

North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis

1.0 INTRODUCTION
As the City of Bellflower adjusts to "new normal" traffic patterns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Bellflower is seeing an increased interest and commercial demand in the City's north Downtown area. North Downtown is defined as the commercial area between Flower Street and the Pacific Electric Railroad right- of-way and between just west of Bellflower Boulevard and the Civic Center. Exhibit 1 shows the north Downtown Bellflower study area location.

Bellflower Economic Development staff conducted an inventory and analysis of public parking in north Downtown Bellflower (North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis, March 2020) to determine if Downtown Bellflower is nearing its capacity. The study relied on available parking data and a parking demand analysis prepared for the Brew Refinery project by K2 Traffic Engineering (Parking Study— Brew Refinery & Restaurant 16710 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, December 2019). The analysis found that approximately 235 parking spaces would still be available throughout the north Downtown area during peak demand time. Both the Bellflower Economic Development staff study and the K2 study are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. It should be noted that the Brew Refinery is currently an entitled project that is not under construction, and the property is for sale without a buyer.

With the opening of The Stand -Up Comedy Club and traffic reaching new normal conditions, the City has asked TJW to prepare an update to the 2020 parking study. The North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis from March 2020 has been reviewed and any changes have been outlined. Overall parking patterns in Downtown Bellflower have been analyzed, including when the peak parking periods occur. The supply of available parking stalls in the north Downtown Bellflower area during peak days/time and how many stalls remain has been verified via field surveys.

Recommendations for public parking management based on the specifics of Downtown Bellflower have been made where necessary. To estimate future parking conditions, parking demand from new and future north Downtown developments have been added to the observed parking data, including:

SteelCraft Bellflower (opened in June 2019)
Stand -Up Comedy Club (opened in Spring 2020)
The former Brew Refinery project, which has been utilized to estimate potential demand increases from other potential developments

2.0 PARKING INVENTORY

2.1 AVAILABLE PARKING SPACES
TJW conducted a parking inventory on Thursday, May 19, 2022, to verify the total number of parking spaces provided by north Downtown Bellflower. The parking lots, structures, and on -street parking locations included in the inventory are shown in Exhibit 2. As shown on Exhibit 2, the following parking facilities are provided:
• Parking structures on the northwest corner of Bellflower Boulevard/Mayne Street (Zone M) and east of Flower Street (Zone G) which provide 278 spaces and 293 spaces, respectively • Public parking lots amounting to 525 total parking spaces • On -street parking, including space for 45 vehicles on Bellflower Boulevard. The remaining streets (Oak Street, Belmont Street, Civic Center Drive, and Flower Street) provide on -street parking space for 142 vehicles total.

All parking spaces are available to the public with either time or day restrictions in each zone. Altogether, a total of 1,283 parking spaces are available for north Downtown Bellflower. A breakdown of spaces and restrictions by zone and street is provided below in Table 1.

The previous Bellflower Economic Development staff study found that 1,278 parking spaces were available within the north Downtown Bellflower area. Two additional on -street spaces and three additional parking lot spaces have been identified to bring the total to 1,283 parking spaces.

North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis

3.0 PARKING OCCUPANCY

3.1 HISTORICAL PARKING OCCUPANCY
Bellflower Economic Development staff conducted an inventory and analysis of public parking in north Downtown Bellflower (North Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis, March 2020) to determine if Downtown Bellflower is nearing its capacity. The study relied on available parking data and a parking demand analysis prepared for the Brew Refinery project by K2 Traffic Engineering (Parking Study —Brew Refinery & Restaurant 16710 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, December 2019). Both the Bellflower Economic Development staff study and the K2 study are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. It should be noted that the Brew Refinery is currently an entitled project that is not under construction, and the property is for sale without a buyer.

The 2020 analysis found that approximately 235 parking spaces would still be available throughout the north Downtown area during peak demand time after the major developments are completed. Specifically, the 2020 analysis concluded that most of the future available parking spaces during the evening and weekend peak demand time will be in the County parking structure behind City Hall, and that it will be prudent for the new business operators and the City to promote the various parking lot locations throughout Downtown.

It should be noted that both the Bellflower Economic Development staff study and the K2 study did not provide occupancy/demand data for the Regional Transit Center Parking Structure (Zone M) on the northwest corner of Bellflower Boulevard and Mayne Street, as it was not open at the time of the K2 study.

3.2 EXISTING PARKING OCCUPANCY
In order to determine the peak demand hours for north Downtown Bellflower, parking occupancy surveys were conducted from Thursday May 19, 2022 to Sunday May 22, 2022. For Thursday -Saturday, hourly parking occupancy surveys were conducted from 11:00 AM — 11:00 PM. On Sunday, hourly parking occupancy surveys were conducted from 9:00 AM — 3:00 PM. Parking occupancy was recorded for the lots, streets, and structures listed previously in Table 1. Occupancy data is provided in Appendix C.

Visualizations of occupancy for each hour are provided in Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 below. The highest occupancy consistently occurred on Bellflower Boulevard, which regularly was parked at or near capacity. The remaining locations and parking types experienced about 30-50% occupancy from Thursday to Saturday and 10-40% occupancy on Sunday. While all four days had distinct peak parking periods, parking occupancy was generally consistent throughout Friday.

Based on total occupancy, the hours of 8:00 PM — 10:00 PM were determined to be the peak on weekdays and Saturdays, and the hours of 1:00 PM — 3:00 PM were determined to be the peak on Sundays. It should be noted that although Thursday occupancy was slightly higher during the afternoon than at night, the o

3.3 PEAK HOUR OCCUPANCY
A bar graph visualization of occupancy during the peak hours is provided in Table 6 below. Information for spaces occupied within zones (parking lots and structures), along Bellflower Boulevard, and on -street parking available on other streets is provided in addition to the overall total for each peak hour.

As shown in the graph, the peak weekday total occupancy was 556 spaces occurring from 8:OOPM — 9:00 PM on Friday, representing 43% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces. The peak weekend total occupancy was 494 spaces occurring from 2:00 PM — 3:00 PM on Sunday, representing 39% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces. Although the overall peak occupancy was approximately 40%, the parking along Bellflower exceeded the average at above 80%. In addition, the remaining on -street parking within the study area showed a higher demand than the off-street parking zones.

North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis
Bellflower Boulevard, Belmont Street, and Oak Street experience high occupancy in the evenings. Flower Street west of Bellflower Boulevard also experiences high occupancy, although the small capacity of five spaces exacerbates the utilization of this area. During these times of high occupancy, other street parking on Civic Center Drive and Flower Street east of Bellflower is typically available.

4.2 BELLFLOWER BOULEVARD TURNOVER
License plate data for vehicles parked along Bellflower Boulevard was collected hourly to determine turnover durations, trends, and the number of vehicles served. Hourly data was collected from 11:00 AM — 11:00 PM from Thursday to Saturday and from 9:00 AM — 3:00 PM on Sunday. This data is summarized in Table 11. The overall average length of stay across all days was approximately two hours.

1.98 1: Turnover and parking surveys were conducted from 9AM —3PM on Sunday, which amounts to six hours. All other days were observed from 11AM —11PM, which amounts to 12 hours.

A percent breakdown by duration of stay for May 19-22, 2022 is presented in Table 12, Table 13, Table 14, and Table 15. Although the overall average duration of stay was two hours, 25-30% of vehicles parked on Bellflower Boulevard stayed for longer than two hours due to an absence of effective enforcement of the two-hour restriction. This amounts to 54 vehicles on Thursday, 65 vehicles on Friday, 51 vehicles on Saturday, and 21 vehicles on Sunday. With effective enforcement of the two-hour restriction, the number of vehicles staying longer than two hours would be reduced and a higher amount of turnover would occur, making parking spaces more readily available to patrons of the businesses along Bellflower Boulevard.

Up to four percent of vehicles parking on Bellflower Boulevard stay parked for more than six hours, likely from employees utilizing the on -street parking. Typically, on -street parking fronting land uses in a downtown area are intended for patrons and not employees. As such, businesses within north Downtown Bellflower should direct their staff to park in lots with more availability away from Bellflower Boulevard. This will also help reduce the occupancy on Bellflower Boulevard during the evening peak hour. 15 BEL-22-001

5.0 ANGLED PARKING AND PARKLETS

5.1 ANGLED PARKING DISCUSSION
Angled parking is a parking design alternative that can be incorporated to increase the total number of parking spaces within the subject area, however, careful consideration should be given when constructing angled parking spaces, especially when determining the appropriate dimensions for parking. There are several alternatives for angled parking spaces with the three primary angles being 30, 45 and 60 -degrees.

These alternatives have varying dimensions, with changes to parking lane widths, lengths and overall roadway impact, depending on which angle is utilized. Similar to inverse impacts to curb width versus roadway width between curbside on -street parking and head -in direct parking, 60 -degree angled parking spaces experience related impacts when compared to 30 -degree angled parking spaces. Of the three primary angled parking alternatives, the 45 -degree and 60 -degree angles are most common. Available curb side and roadway space should be appropriately assessed when determining effective angled parking design.

Downtown Bellflower could benefit by capturing the potential increase in parking by implementing angled parking along Bellflower Boulevard. Currently, the roadway segment of Bellflower Boulevard within the study area, from Mayne Street to Flower Street, contains roadway width segments ranging between 48 feet and 58 feet in width. The main difference between the two roadway geometries is the wider segments of 58 feet contain on -street parallel parking while the narrower 48 -foot segments do not. Along the entire segment, there are a combined 45 on -street parallel parking spaces along both sides of the roadway — 23 on - street spaces on the west side and 22 on the east side of Bellflower Boulevard. In discussions with City staff, it was determined that portions of available parking space are under consideration for conversion to accommodate angled parking spaces, outdoor dining parklets or both. Below is a breakdown of number of parking spaces and available parking length along Bellflower Boulevard.

North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis
Based on required parking space dimensions and roadway requirements per the City of Bellflower Municipal Code, it is determined that angled parking is not an appropriate alternative along both sides of the roadway due to the lack of available roadway width along Bellflower Boulevard. The City of Bellflower could consider modifications to portions of the roadway to include angled parking where feasible with changes to the existing roadway geometry within the subject roadway segment. The existing four travel lane roadway (two northbound and two southbound) could be converted to accommodate two travel lanes, one in each direction to allow the appropriate roadway width for angled parking along portions of the roadway segment.

The following table shows the potential number of parking spaces where parallel parking spaces are converted to angled parking spaces.

As shown in the table, a total of 64 parking spaces, or a net gain of approximately 19 parking spaces is possible by converting portions where parallel parking exists to angled parking. Again, although feasible, the roadway modifications to accommodate angled parking spaces would reduce one travel lane in each direction and portions of roadway upstream and downstream from the subject area would undergo changes to capture the transition due to the changes in number of lanes.

5.2 PARKLET DISCUSSION
As for consideration to construct parklets, parklets are used as small public areas or commercial spaces that help to support adjacent businesses in areas where sidewalk space is limited and can also help to encourage pedestrian activity within business areas. Although parklets are generally for slower speed roadways of 25 MPH, with appropriate barriers and protective measures, parklets could be incorporated along roadways such as Bellflower Boulevard. Approximate impact to parking is based on parklet dimension and location along Bellflower Boulevard varies as segments of parklets would vary largely on participation of businesses along the corridor. Contrary to the angled parking modifications, parklets would only occupy the existing portion of on -street curbside parking availability, and with the exception to the change in parking spaces, no 19 BEL-22-001

Parking Analysis
significant changes are anticipated to the roadway geometry along the corridor. A quick reference of parking related impacts can be found by reviewing parking availability information provided in Table 16.

The implementation of either angled parking, parklets or both are not without significant impacts to roadway geometry and as such, the benefits and disadvantages of the alternatives should be carefully considered. In addition, multiple discussions with stakeholders and extensive public outreach are recommended as part of the implementation process.

6.0 FUTURE DEMAND

6.1 FORMER BREW REFINERY PROJECT
To estimate future demand within north Downtown Bellflower, parking requirements for the former Brew Refinery project have been added to the observed peak parking occupancy. Requirements for the former Brew Refinery project have been obtained from a previous study utilizing parking rates for new developments in the Town Center District in the City of Bellflower Municipal Code. As outlined in the K2 Traffic Engineering Parking Study — Brew Refinery & Restaurant 16710 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, December 2019, a total of 41 parking spaces were required to be provided by the Brew Refinery. The K2 Traffic Engineering study is provided in Appendix B.

As mentioned previously in Section 4.3, the peak occupancy observed was 556 spaces out of 1,283 available spaces (43% occupancy). With the 41 required spaces added to the peak occupancy, 597 spaces would be occupied out of the 1,283 available spaces (47% occupancy).

The former Brew Refinery project site is located on Bellflower Boulevard just north of Flower Street. The parking lot in Zone I will be the closest parking lot, and Bellflower Boulevard and Flower Street will be the closest on -street options. While Zone 1 and Bellflower Boulevard experience high occupancies, the low occupancy experienced by Flower Street east of Bellflower Boulevard will likely be able to accommodate the parking demand generated by the potential buyer of the former Brew Refinery project site.

6.2 THE EDGEWAY
As outlined in the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND No. 20-01) for the Proposed Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Mixed -Use Project, May 2020, The Edgeway is required to provide 95 spaces per the City of Bellflower Municipal Code. The applicant for The Edgeway has completed a parking agreement for required parking spaces to be placed off -site in adjacent city parking structures and/or surface parking lots. IS/MND No. 20-01 is provided in Appendix D.

To reflect the parking agreement, the 95 required spaces have been added to the peak observed occupancy of 556 spaces and the 41 spaces previously required by the Brew Refinery project. This results in an estimated peak parking demand of 692 spaces, which represents 54% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces within the north Downtown Bellflower area. Specifically, the parking structure across from The Edgeway site (Zone M) currently experiences low occupancy and would be able to accommodate the parking demand generated by The Edgeway project.

6.3 FEASIBILITY OF FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN NORTH DOWNTOWN BELLFLOWER If further development or parking modifications were to occur within the north Downtown Bellflower area, certain lots and on -street parking areas would be able to accommodate increased demand or reduced parking supply. Zones E, G, H, K, M, Civic Center Drive, Flower Street east of Civic Center Drive, and Flower Street west of Civic Center Drive could accommodate increased demand or a reduction in parking supply. In the event that a development or modification would impact a zone that cannot directly accommodate increased demand or a reduction in parking supply, vehicles can be directed to any nearby zones which have parking availability.

6.4 PARKING IMPACTS IN LOTS B, KAND L — TRASH COMPACTOR ENCLOSURES The City's Public Works Department is currently considering the installation of trash enclosures within parking lots B, K and L. Due to their installation, the trash enclosures are expected to displace approximately four parking spaces per lot with the exception to Lot B, where a loss of one parking space is expected. Based on data collection, there would be minimal impacts to available parking within Lot K and Lot L. This assumption is further corroborated with the data shown in Table 9 and Table 10, that depicts Lot L and Lot K experience a max occupancy of 92% and 54% during one time period. As for Lot B, although it frequently experiences occupancy in the 90%-100% range, since only one loss of parking is expected with the trash enclosure, it should be noted that the adjacent roadways of Belmont Street (max occupancy 89%) and Oak Street (max occupancy 63%) have sufficient capacity to accommodate the loss in parking. Thus, the impact to parking due to the trash enclosures with all three lots is expected to be less than significant.

6.5 ASSEMBLY BILL 2097 AND THE FUTURE PROPOSED METRO STATION it was signed two years ago and took effect 1/1/2023; is that "recent"? Assembly Bill 2097 is a recently passed California law that restricts public agencies or local cities from imposing a minimum parking requirement on development projects that are located within a half -mile radius of a major transit stop. The bill's intent is to promote the development of lower -cost housing in walkable, transit -friendly areas and neighborhoods by reducing the need for constructing additional parking spaces to accommodate housing developments. The policy reasons, that mandatory parking requirements can cause an oversupply of parking spaces, reducing available housing development space and increasing housing costs.

Further, the parking surplus, due to the mandatory parking supply, can reduce the desire to use available public transit, encourage car ownership and use, and increase traffic and greenhouse gas emissions. As part of this statement, the bill also authorizes a city, county, or city and county to impose minimum automobile parking requirements on a housing development project if the agency can make substantial supportive written findings that not imposing minimum automobile parking requirements on the development would have a negative impact on the public agency's ability to meet its share of specified housing needs or existing residential or commercial parking within 1/2 mile of the housing development. o

Additionally, the bill does not apply to a housing development project that (1) dedicates a minimum of 20% of the total number of housing units to very low, low-, or moderate -income households, students, the elderly, or persons with disabilities, (2) contains fewer than 20 housing units, or (3) is subject to parking reductions based on any other applicable law — nor, does it apply to event centers and projects that include a hotel, motel or other transient lodging. The bill would prohibits these provisions from reducing, eliminating, or precluding the enforcement of any requirement imposed on a housing development project that is located within 1/2 mile of public transit to provide electric vehicle supply equipment installed parking spaces or parking spaces that are accessible to persons with disabilities.

Currently, as part of Metro's plan to provide better transit within Los Angeles County, Therethere is a planned Metro station for the City of Bellflower, proposed as part of the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor. Metro believes that the project would provide high -quality reliable transit service to meet the future mobility needs of residents, employees, and visitors who travel within and through the study area.

This new transit service is expected to increase mobility and connectivity for potentially transit -dependent communities along the corridor, and improve travel times on local and regional transportation networks. The current alternative, aptly named the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), consists of a 14.8 -mile light rail transit segment that would connect several cities located between its termini at the Slauson/A Line (Blue) connection and Pioneer stations in Los Angeles County, California. It includes nine stations, five with parking facilities, and a Maintenance and Storage Facility. The project would connect Artesia, Cerritos, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey, South Gate, Cudahy, Bell, Huntington Park, Vernon, unincorporated Florence -Firestone and downtown Los Angeles; the Project is part of the larger 19.3 - mile LRT corridor that would connect to Los Angeles Union Station Metro station. The station will also provide approximately 263 parking spaces. The image below depicts the planned corridor. r . w..o.., {Ell

North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis
what does this mean?
As AB 2097 and the proposed Metro Station apply to the City of Bellflower, and the Downtown Bellflower area, the proposed station is located at the northwest corner of Bellflower Boulevard and Pacific Avenue.

Hence, per AB 2097 and its requirements for developments within a half -mile of a transit stop, also described as a High Quality Transit Area (HQTA), subjects the Downtown Bellflower area to the stipulations within the assembly bill. Additionally, it should be noted that when considering AB 2097's requirements for developments near major transit stops, they not only apply to the proposed Metro light rail station in the Downtown Bellflower study area, but potentially also to bus stops and the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has published a map showing the HQTAs for the SCAG Region (see map below). Bellflower is impacted by three HQTAs. However, only one, the previously described proposed Metro light rail station, impacts the Downtown Bellflower study area. 24 BEL-22-001

what does this mean?
North Downtown Bellflower
Parking Analysis
The findings from this parking study demonstrate if further development or parking modifications were to occur within the north Downtown Bellflower area that are subject to the requirements of AB 2097, with the exception to Bellflower Boulevard, Belmont Street and Oak Street, and Flower Street west of Bellflower Boulevard, the remaining roadways could accommodate the lack of parking requirement for the Downtown Bellflower area. Based on the parking supply and demand findings and data collected within this report, there are several areas within the Downtown Bellflower area that have the parking capacity to handle the changes in parking demand due to AB 2097.

6.6 RECOMMENDATIONS TO MANAGE FUTURE PARKING DEMAND
As outlined throughout the study, the north Downtown Bellflower area has the parking capacity to handle both current and potential parking demand; however, the capacity is currently not being fully utilized. To direct drivers to lots or streets with ample parking supply, one or more of the following recommendations could be implemented:
• Implement parking meters on Bellflower Boulevard, Zone A, and Zone B. While the 2 -hour parking limit can remain, any time longer than 2 -hours would be charged to the driver. Enforcement would need to be implemented to make sure all vehicles parked on Bellflower Boulevard are utilizing the parking meter. These recommendations may direct drivers to use other lots if they are staying for more than 2 hours and/or do not want to potentially pay for parking. • Signage throughout Bellflower Boulevard directing drivers to other parking areas with ample parking supply. Drivers may currently be parking on Bellflower Boulevard because they do not know about the Zone M and Zone G parking structures, for example. The signs could also include restrictions (if any) that are in place at the locations drivers are being directed towards. • Enforcement of parking restrictions should be implemented during the peak demand times. • Extend restricted timeframes to match peak demand hours. Because Zones A -D and Bellflower Boulevard experience high demand on Friday and Saturday outside of their current 2 -hour restricted timeframe, the restriction could be extended to 10:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM. o

7.0 CONCLUSION
There are parking structures provided on the northwest corner of Bellflower Boulevard/Mayne Street and east of Flower Street which provide 278 spaces and 293 spaces, respectively. There are also public parking lots available for the north Downtown Bellflower land uses, amounting to 525 parking spaces. Bellflower Boulevard provides space for 45 vehicles and the other streets within north Downtown Bellflower provide space for 142 vehicles. Altogether, a total of 1,283 parking spaces are available for north Downtown Bellflower.

Based on total occupancy, the hours of 8:00 PM — 10:00 PM were determined to be the peak on weekdays and Saturdays, and the hours of 1:00 PM — 3:00 PM were determined to be the peak on Sundays for north Downtown Bellflower.

The peak weekday total occupancy was 556 spaces occurring from 8:OOPM — 9:00 PM on Friday, representing 43% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces. The peak weekend total occupancy was 494 spaces occurring from 2:00 PM —3:00 PM on Sunday, representing 39% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces. While several of the lots are at or near full capacity during both peaks, there are other public lots or spaces along streets within north Downtown Bellflower to accommodate overflow.

Bellflower Boulevard, Belmont Street, and Oak Street experience high occupancy in the evenings. Flower Street west of Bellflower Boulevard also experiences high occupancy, although the small capacity of five spaces exacerbates the utilization of this area. During these times of high occupancy, other street parking on Civic Center Drive and Flower Street east of Bellflower is typically available.

Up to four percent of vehicles parking on Bellflower Boulevard stay parked for more than six hours, likely from employees utilizing the on -street parking. Typically, on -street parking fronting land uses in a downtown area are intended for customers and not employees. As such, businesses within north Downtown Bellflower should direct their staff to park in lots with more availability away from Bellflower Boulevard. This will also help reduce the occupancy on Bellflower Boulevard during the evening peak hour.

To estimate future demand within north Downtown Bellflower, parking requirements for the former Brew Refinery project have been added to the observed peak parking occupancy. Requirements for the former Brew Refinery project have been obtained from a previous study utilizing parking rates for new developments in the Town Center District in the City of Bellflower Municipal Code. As outlined in the K2 Traffic Engineering Parking Study — Brew Refinery & Restaurant 16710 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, December 2019, a total of 41 parking spaces were required to be provided by the Brew Refinery.

The Edgeway is required to provide 95 spaces per the City of Bellflower Municipal Code. The applicant for The Edgeway has completed a parking agreement for required parking spaces to be placed off -site in adjacent 26 BEL-22-001

city parking structures and/or surface parking lots. To reflect the parking agreement, the 95 required spaces have been added to the peak observed occupancy of 556 spaces and the 41 spaces required by the Brew Refinery. This results in an estimated peak parking demand of 692 spaces, which represents 54% occupancy of the 1,283 available spaces within the north Downtown Bellflower area. Specifically, the parking structure across from The Edgeway site (Zone M) currently experiences low occupancy and would be able to accommodate the parking demand generated by The Edgeway project.

If further development or parking modifications were to occur within the north Downtown Bellflower area, Zones E, G, H, K, M, Civic Center Drive, Flower Street east of Civic Center Drive, and Flower Street west of Civic Center Drive could accommodate increased demand or a reduction in parking supply. In the event that a development or modification, such as the implementation of AB 2097 and the construction of the proposed Metro Bellflower station, would impact Downtown Bellflower in a way that increased demand or a reduction in parking supply cannot be directly accommodated, vehicles can be directed to any nearby zones which have parking availability.

As outlined throughout the study, the north Downtown Bellflower area has the parking capacity to handle both current and potential parking demand; however, the capacity is currently not being fully utilized. To direct drivers to lots or streets with ample parking supply, one or more of the following recommendations could be implemented:
• Implement parking meters on Bellflower Boulevard, Zone A, and Zone B. While the 2 -hour parking limit can remain, any time longer than 2 -hours would be charged to the driver. Enforcement would need to be implemented to make sure all vehicles parked on Bellflower Boulevard are utilizing the parking meter. These recommendations may direct drivers to use other lots if they are staying for more than 2 hours and/or do not want to potentially pay for parking.

Benefits

parking use
• Generates revenue for City
• May encourage use of designated
public areas and parking lots
• Newer meters can provide parking data
• Newer meters can provide easy

the Zone M and Zone G parking structures, for example. The signs could also include restrictions (if any) that are in place at the locations drivers are being directed towards.

Benefits
• Guide signs inform drivers of additional
parking areas throughout the
downtown area
• May promote parking to be dispersed
throughout downtown area, reducing
impact to specific areas
Disadvantages
• Too many signs may promote sign
blight
• Costs incurred to obtain and maintain
signs
• Enforcement of parking restrictions should be implemented during the peak demand times. This can be completed with either current parking enforcement staff or with the use of utilizing private parking enforcement services. Although utilizing available parking enforcement staff at the City, under circumstances where staffing is not available, a private parking enforcement service would be ideal.

Benefits
• Ensures quick and effective
enforcement of parking zones
• Promotes turnover of parking spaces
• Ensures appropriate legal compliance
• Reduces direct confrontations with City
staff regarding parking disputes
Disadvantages
• Costs incurred to hire private service
• Staff time and effort to
manage/monitor private service
• Strict enforcement may lead to
excessive complaints
• Extend restricted timeframes to match peak demand hours. Because Zones A -D and Bellflower Boulevard experience high demand on Friday and Saturday outside of their current 2 -hour restricted timeframe, the restriction could be extended to 10:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM. This alternative is recommended following outreach and storefront input prior to implementation.

Benefits Disadvantages
• Reduces need for extensive
enforcement
• Longer term parking may force less
utilized parking spaces to be utilized
• Patrons may contend with increased
lack of parking
• Shopfront owners businesses may be
affected
As mentioned previously, another alternative to help capture the potential increase in parking would be the implementation of angled parking along Bellflower Boulevard. Currently, the segment of Bellflower Boulevard within the study area is approximately 58 feet in width, with a small portion of the roadway approximately 48 feet wide. The main difference between the two roadway geometries is the wider segment o

contains parallel parking — the narrower does not. Along the same segment, there are approximately 45 on - street parallel parking spaces along both sides of the roadway. In discussions with City staff, it was determined that portions of available parking space may be considered for conversion to accommodate angled parking spaces, outdoor dining parklets or both. Although feasible, the roadway modifications to accommodate angled parking spaces and parklets are not without potential issues and should be determined based on multiple discussions and extensive public outreach. 6 Benefits
• Angled spaces increase available
parking
• Angled spaces are easier to get in and
out (consider reverse angle parking)
• Angled spaces remove one travel lane,
promoting a narrower, slower and
potentially safer corridor
• Parklets can enhance community vibe
along roadway
• Parklets and angled spaces can
potentially increase business and
revenue due to increased business
exposure within the area
Disadvantages
• Angled spaces and parklets may modify
roadway geometry. Lane reduction may
not be feasible for this segment if high
vehicle throughput is anticipated.
• Design and construction costs for
upstream and downstream
modifications to roadway.
• Reduction of travel lane may promote
congestion along the corridor

Downtown Bellflower Parking Analysis
March 2020
Executive Summary
The increased popularity of Downtown Bellflower has resulted in an increased demand for parking. This is especially true in the northern part of downtown generally located along Bellflower Boulevard from the Pacific Electric Right -of -Way south to Flower Street. A number of new development projects in this area are expected to further increase the demand for parking.

SteelCraft Bellflower (opened in June 2019); the StandUp Comedy Club (opening in Spring 2020); the Brew Refinery, proposed microbrewery, restaurant, and lounge (projected to open in Summer 2021); and the Serrano Mixed -Use Transit Oriented Development project, proposed apartments, commercial retail, and a 4 -screen art house movie theater (projected to open in 2022) will incrementally increase parking demand on the limited supply/capacity of parking in Downtown Bellflower.

This analysis, using the recent parking demand study for the Brew Refinery project, combined with the addition of curbside parking spaces and the new parking structure, and conservative assumptions regarding the parking demands of the new development projects in the pipeline, shows that the inventory of Downtown Bellflower parking spaces is more than sufficient to accommodate the increased demand generated by these development projects.

Introduction
Thanks to a number of factors including advanced planning, City involvement, a robust economy and good timing, Downtown Bellflower has seen extraordinary development and improvement since the completion of Belmont Court in 2014. However, with the new interest and investment in the downtown also comes an increased parking demand from new residents, patrons, and employees all of whom have a desire to park as close to their ultimate destinations as possible.

The goal of this analysis is to determine if Downtown Bellflower is nearing its capacity for parking.

For the purposes of this analysis, demand is defined as the "need" for parking spaces by the existing land uses as shown through the K2 Traffic Engineering Parking Study and the assumption made for the new developments. Capacity is defined as the total number of available, "longer - term" parking spaces in the Downtown Study Area North.

With the buildout of various approved and proposed projects incomplete, the results of this analysis will be based on conservative projections and assumptions. Additionally, Downtown 2

Bellflower, which is typically thought of as Bellflower Boulevard from the Pacific Electric Railroad Right -of -Way ("ROW") south to the 91 Freeway, is divided into northerly and southerly sections at Flower Street because of the difference in property characteristics of the two areas (Exhibit "A"). The portion of Bellflower Boulevard south of Flower Street to Walnut Street is a bit of a transitional area in that some properties have their own parking lots, while a significant amount of public parking is provided by on-street/curbside spaces and the public parking lot on Walnut Street and the privately owned, paid parking lot on Bellflower Boulevard between Maple Street and Walnut Street. This analysis will focus on the northern portion of the downtown between Flower Street and the ROW.

This analysis does not include the impact of rideshare services or shared trips/internal capture among two or more uses, all of which would reduce the demand for parking during peak times, and which are often associated with the new types of projects being planned and developed in Downtown Bellflower.

Walkability
Walkability is a key component of a thriving downtown. From new Transit Oriented Development (TOD) guidelines to new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) guidelines, best practices and new legislation often sites %2 mile as a reasonable walking distance. This is evidenced in the City of Bellflower's recent Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan, in which the specific plan study area is an area within a %2 mile radius of the proposed Downtown Bellflower Light Rail Station on Bellflower Boulevard.

The northern portion of the downtown, in which one major project (SteelCraft Bellflower) has been completed, and three more are on the way, is a walkable downtown area, recently enhanced by a major pedestrian streetscape program completed in 2016. Bellflower Boulevard from the ROW to Flower Street is approximately 1/4 mile, as is the distance from the future comedy club to the County Parking Structure behind City Hall. Various studies have identified pedestrian walking speeds that range from 2.0 to 4.3 feet per second (the City Engineer uses 3.5 ft per second for traffic signal crosswalk timing). At those speeds, a person can walk a 1/4 mile in 5 to 11 minutes, suggesting that barring time at traffic signals and crosswalks, the average person could walk from any of the public lots north of Flower Street to any of the merchants or attractions north of Flower Street in approximately 10 minutes. This also suggests a level of walkability in Downtown Bellflower that is higher than the industry standard. Walking distances from parking lots in the downtown to various attractions is shown on Exhibit B. 3

Baseline Data
Although developments are not permitted to include on-street/curbside parking spaces towards their parking requirements, curbside spaces are included in this analysis to provide a complete and accurate inventory of available public parking spaces in Downtown Bellflower. The baseline data for this analysis comes from the December 2019 Revised Parking Study ("Parking Study") for the Brew Refinery and Restaurant project entitlement submittal at 16710 Bellflower Boulevard and Economic Development Department staff field surveys of curbside parking spaces. The Parking Study inventoried the Public Parking available in the Downtown from Flower Street, north to the ROW and did not include the Regional Transit Center Parking Structure at the northwest corner of Mayne Street and Bellflower Boulevard, because it was not open at the time of the study.

Downtown North Study Area
The Parking Study identified 12 public parking lots (Exhibit "C" lots labeled A - L) including the Library Garden Park parking lot on the south side of Flower Street and the Los Angeles County parking structure and Public Library parking lot, which are regulated by weekday time restrictions to accommodate parking for the County facilities (815 spaces). These 815 parking spaces do not include assigned Sheriff parking in Lot "B" and L.A. County employee parking in Lot "K" (County Parking Structure). The staff field survey of the number of curbside parking spaces totaled 185.

Including the new Parking Structure (278 spaces available in Spring 2020), the total number of parking spaces in the Downtown North Study Area is 1,278 (1,093 spaces in parking lots and 185 curbside spaces).

Adjusted Baseline Data
Now that an inventory of all the public parking spaces has been completed, the numbers will be adjusted to account for conditional parking space such as loading zones, or day and time limited parking. Some of these conditional spaces can be adjusted as needed as the Downtown evolves, however, for employee parking, the City Hall, County Library, and County Parking Structure parking lots are restricted to public use during typical weekday, daytime working hours, and available after 5 pm and on weekends and holidays as described below. Long term parking in the non -restricted public parking lots is discouraged with a time limit of 72 hours and no parking for street sweeping on Wednesday morning from 12 am to 6 am. 4

20 Minute Parking and Loading Spaces (North Study Area) There are 27 20- and/or 30 -minute parking spaces (green painted curbs or tire -stops) scattered throughout the Downtown, with concentrations of these located in front of the post office and at SteelCraft. These spaces are typically adjacent to businesses with a need for pick-up, drop-off or deliveries, and close to the business entrances. Although these spaces take up room for longer term parking, they are typically curbside spaces and encourage those interested in longer term parking to seek parking in the main lots.

In the Downtown North Study Area, there are 7 loading spaces (white painted curbs). Six of those are located in front of White's Funeral Home on Flower Street and the other is located on Oak Street, adjacent to SteelCraft Bellflower.

For the Downtown North Study Area, a total of 34 curbside parking spaces are restricted short- term parking spaces (20- or 30 -minute parking or loading).

Day and Time Limited Parking
The Civic Center parking lots, which include Lots H, J, K, and L are Day and Time Limited lots (Exhibit "B"). Lot H, containing 28 parking spaces is used for City Hall employee parking during the work week and is available for public parking on the weekends. Lot J, containing 36 parking spaces, is the primary parking lot for the County Library and is limited to 2 -hour parking, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 4 pm. Lot K, a 3 -story parking structure containing 279 parking spaces, is used for the County courthouse and health facility. The City has an agreement with the County of Los Angeles to allow for public parking in the structure in the evenings and on weekends. Lot L, containing 16 parking spaces adjacent to the Library Garden Park, is limited to 1 -hour parking from 7 am to 5 pm, Monday through Saturday. Since the peak parking demand times for the new developments do not conflict with the civic center parking lots mentioned above, those spaces will be counted as available spaces in this analysis.

Three Downtown North Study Area lots are time restricted, Lots D, E, and G. These lots limit parking to 2 hours between 7 am and 6 pm and contain a total of 131 parking spaces. These lots will also be counted as available spaces in this analysis as the time restrictions do not conflict with the peak times of the new developments.

Summary
Since the focus of this analysis is regarding longer term parking for patrons of Downtown Bellflower, the 34 time -restricted curbside and loading spaces are not included in the inventory 5

of available parking spaces. Removing these spaces from the North Study Area reduces the total amount of longer -term parking spaces from 1,278 to 1,244.

Demand and Capacity Analysis
Using the inventory in the parking analysis prepared by K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc., staff added the 151 longer -term curbside parking spaces and 278 parking spaces in the Regional Transit Center Parking Structure to the 815 total available parking spaces identified in the Parking Study.

This gives the Downtown Study Area North a capacity of 1,244 parking spaces (Table 1).

K2 Study Parking Spaces (Lots A — L) 815
Total Curbside Parking Spaces 185
Regional Transit Center Parking Spaces (Lot M) 278
Time -limited Curbside Parking Spaces -34
Total Longer -term Parking Spaces 1,244
Table 1
It can be assumed that the longer -term curbside spaces, typically considered prime parking spaces, were full during the peak times identified by the Parking Study even though they weren't observed. As such, the peak demand numbers identified by the Parking Study were increased by 151 parking spaces, the same number of available longer -term curbside parking spaces in the Downtown North area.

Using the above described baseline data for the projected supply and peak demand, additional peak demand was added for each of the new development projects proposed to open over the next 3 years (The Brew Refinery, The StandUp Club, and the Serrano Mixed -Use project).

Pursuant to the code and outlined in their respective entitlements, the Brew Refinery and the StandUp Club each are required to have 41 parking spaces, while the theater and commercial uses for the Serrano Mixed -Use project are required to have 97 parking spaces. All of these projects typically have peak parking times from Thursday through Saturday evening and are assigning their required parking to the public parking lots through Parking License Agreements with the City.

Further, to address potential concerns that the per code parking requirements may not accurately represent the actual parking demand of these uses, staff increased the demand for each use as shown in Table 2. The number of employees was estimated for each project and an additional parking space per employee was added to the total demand for each project. For the StandUp Club and the Serrano project, both having components of public assembly uses (a comedy club and multi -screen art house theater), one parking space for every two seats was added to the respective projects parking demand.

Conclusion
After the addition of both the increased parking capacity provided by the longer -term curbside parking spaces (151 spaces) and the Regional Transit Center Parking Structure (278 spaces) and accounting for the increased peak parking demand of three major development projects in the pipeline, 235 parking spaces will still be available throughout the Downtown North Study Area during peak demand (Exhibit D).

Based on people's desire to park as close to their final destination as possible, it can be assumed that once these projects are completed, and even now, the bulk of the future available parking spaces during the evening and weekend peak demand time will be located in the County parking structure behind City Hall. As these projects come online and parking demand increases, it will be prudent for the new business operators and the City to adequately promote the various parking lot locations throughout the Downtown, especially the County parking structure.

Should peak parking demand outpace the projections, the City could employ various parking management strategies ranging from a return to public valet parking (valet parking can increase parking lot capacity through the stacking of vehicles), metered parking, late night paid parking, etc., to address parking deficiencies during peak parking demand times. 7

Re: Parking Study- Brew Refinery & Restaurant
16710 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower
Dear Wayne & Mathew,
Per your request, we have conducted a parking study for the proposed restaurant.

This letter presents our methodology, finding, and recommendation in regards to the sufficiency of parking.

PROJECT INFORMATION
The proposed building is located at 16710 Bellflower Blvd in the City of Bellflower within the Town Center District. The proposed building consists of 16,264 square feet of total interior space for such uses as microbrewery, taproom, restaurant, and rooftop bar.

The building will be operated by a number of future tenants with various hours of operations. Floor plan is shown in Exhibit 1.

According to the Municipal Code of the City of Bellflower, the parking requirement for new developments in Town Center District is one parking space per 400 square feet. The proposed building has a gross floor area of 16,264 square feet and requires 41 parking spaces. Parking will be provided free of charge in public parking lots in the downtown area.

PUBLIC PARKING
Public parking lots in the downtown area are identified in Exhibit 2. There are 815 parking spaces available for the general public, not including assigned Sheriff parking in Lot "B" and LA County employee parking in Lot "K". Lot "M" is a future parking structure with approximately 300 parking spaces. Additional detail of public parking lots can be found in Appendix A.

PARKING SURVEY
In order to examine parking availability, the study conducted three consecutive weeks of field observations at these public parking lots in the month of April 2019.

One additional week was later added to capture the potential changes since the opening of Steelcraft Bellflower (a 15,000 SF craft food and drink gathering space in Downtown Bellflower) in the month of June 2019. Complete survey data can be found in Appendix B.

Our observations found that, before the opening of Steelcraft Bellflower, the peak parking took place on Friday, April 19, 2019 at 6 p.m. when 454 spaces are used. At this peak parking period, public parking lots are less than 56% full with 361 parking spaces still available.

After the opening of Steelcraft Bellflower, the peak parking took place on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at 8 p.m. when 532 spaces are used. At this peak parking period, public parking lots are less than 65.3% full with 283 parking spaces still available.

A comparison of daily peak parking usage is illustrated in Exhibit 3.

SUMMARY
Although the increase of parking demand is apparent with the opening of Steelcraft Bellflower and other special events in the downtown area, the City of Bellflower does provide adequate capacity of public parking for the benefit of all users. The parking demand of this proposed eating and drinking establishment can be sufficiently accommodated by public parking lots provided in the downtown area.

Nonetheless, it is recommended that parking information with directions be provided/posted for the convenience of patrons and employees.

This document can be found at the Bellflower City Hall, 16600 Civic Center Drive, Bellflower CA 90706, phone: (562) 804-1424.

2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) REQUIREMENTS As defined by Section 21065 of the CEQA statute, the proposed Downtown Bellflower TOD Mixed Use proposed project constitutes a "project," and therefore, an Initial Study is required to be prepared to determine the appropriate type of CEQA document to be prepared. As defined by Section 15063 of the State California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA Guidelines), an Initial Study is prepared primarily to provide the Lead Agency with information to be used as the basis for determining whether an environmental impact report (EIR), negative declaration (ND), or mitigated negative declaration (MND) would be appropriate for providing the necessary environmental documentation and clearance for the proposed project.

Pursuant to Section 15065 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR is deemed appropriate for a particular proposal if the following conditions occur:
• The proposal has the potential to substantially degrade quality of the environment. • The proposal has the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals.
• The proposal has possible environmental effects that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable.
• The proposal could cause direct or indirect adverse effects on human beings.

Pursuant to Section 15070(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration (ND) is deemed appropriate if the proposal would not result in any significant effect on the environment.

Pursuant to Section 15070(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is deemed appropriate if it is determined that though a proposal could result in a significant effect, mitigation measures are available to reduce these significant effects to less than significant levels.

This Initial Study has determined that the proposed project would not result in any significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of those mitigation measures contained in this document and therefore, a MND is deemed as the appropriate document to provide the necessary environmental evaluations and clearance for the proposed project. This IS/MND document is prepared according to the aforementioned CEQA Guidelines and applicable requirements of the City of Bellflower.

This MND provides decision -makers and the public with information that enables them to intelligently consider the environmental consequences of the proposed project; functions as a method for fact-finding; and provides the City, concerned citizens, and other applicable public agencies with an opportunity to collectively review and evaluate baseline conditions and environmental impacts through a process of full disclosure. 1 Page 90 of 186

3. LEAD AGENCY
The City of Bellflower is designated the Lead Agency, in accordance with Section 15050 of the CEQA Guidelines and shall consider this IS/MND during public hearings for the proposed project.

4. CIRCULATION OF INITIAL STUDY AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION This IS/MND informs the City's decision makers, other responsible or interested agencies, and the general public of potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The environmental review process has been established to allow public agencies to evaluate environmental consequences and to examine and implement methods of eliminating or reducing any potentially adverse impacts.

While CEQA requires that consideration be given to avoiding environmental damage, the Lead Agency and other responsible public agencies must balance adverse environmental effects against other public objectives, including economic and social goals.

The IS/MND will be circulated for a period of 20 days for public and responsible agency review. Public notice will be placed in the Herald American, which is a newspaper of general circulation and the City website ( www.bellflower.org) . Comments received on the IS/MND will be considered and addressed in a Response to Comments document.

B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED

DOWNTOWN BELLFLOWER TOD MIXED USE PROJECT

1. INTRODUCTION
The 16411 Bellflower, LLC (the Applicant) proposes to construct a mixed -use (theater, residential and service commercial) project on the 1.56 -acre (68,000 -square -foot [SF]) site. The project s ite is located south of Mayne Street, west of Bellflower Boulevard and north of Oak Street. Existing project site addresses are: 1) 9742 Mayne Street, 2) 16411 Bellflower Boulevard and 3) 9735 Oak Street. The project site is comprised of three (3) Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN): 7106-020- 901, 7106-020-902 and 7106-020-900. The project is proposed in two parts: Parcel A) redevelopment of the existing and vacant "Cosmopolitan Grocers" building for new theater and retail commercial/restaurant uses, and 2) construction of a five (5) story, mixed -use, 91 -unit condominium development and associated parking. The existing commercial uses/structures located south of the proposed Downtown Bellflower TOD building and north of Oak Street are not part of this proposed project and will remain as is.

2. PROJECT LOCATION AND SURROUNDING USES
Regionally, the project site is located within the City of Bellflower (City) approximately 0.6 miles north of State Route 91 (SR -91), approximately 1.2 miles west of Interstate 605 (1-605), and approximately

1.9 miles south of Interstate 105 (1-105), as shown on Figure 1, Regional Location Map. The project site is located across the street from the under -construction City of Bellflower parking garage, and the existing Los Angeles County Fire Museum, and within the vicinity of the future West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Transit Corridor light rail station to be constructed on Bellflower Boulevard. The WSAB Transit Corridor project is a proposed 20 -mile light rail transit line that would connect downtown Los Angeles to southeast Los Angeles County, serving the cities and communities of the Arts District, Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, unincorporated Florence -Graham community of Los Angeles County, Vernon, Huntington Park, Bell, Cudahy, South Gate, Downey, Paramount, Bellflower, Cerritos and Artesia. In addition, the project site is located within three miles of the Metro Green Line.

Three bus systems including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Long Beach Transit (LBT), and Bellflower Bus, all operate lines within the project vicinity.

The project site is generally located on the southwest corner of Bellflower Boulevard at Mayne Street within the City's downtown area. As depicted on Figure 2, project site and Surrounding Land Uses, the Bellflower Bike Trail (segment west of Bellflower Boulevard), commercial uses and an associated parking garage (currently under construction) are located to the north; Bellflower Boulevard, the Bellflower Bike Trail (segment east of Bellflower Boulevard), surface parking lots, commercial uses, and the existing Pacific Electric Train Depot are located to the northeast; the Bellflower Events Center and Los Angeles County Fire Museum to the east; Oak Street, commercial uses, and a surface parking lot to the south; single and multi -family residential uses to the southwest; and single and multi -family residential uses located immediately to the west.

The Bellflower Bike Trail runs approximately 2.7 miles along the right-of-way of the old Pacific Electric transit system, known as the Red Cars, across the City. The Trail begins at a bridge connection with the San Gabriel Trail at Ruth R. Caruthers Park on the banks of the San Gabriel River. The Trail then joins the former rail corridor at the southern end of Ripon Avenue and heads northwest to its terminus on Somerset Boulevard, just beyond the Bellflower -Paramount City line. Most of the trail consists of asphalt striped bike lanes and a pedestrian path separated by a small strip of decomposed granite. The Trail runs along the Pacific Electric Train Depot, located along Bellflower Boulevard, which was restored to its original state in 2008.

3. SITE BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
As shown on Figure 2, the project s ite is currently partially developed. One vacant commercial building (Cosmopolitan Grocers) is present on the eastern portion of the site. Although not shown in Figure 2, the former "Grecian Farmers- building and associated parking lot located at 9742 Mayne Street has been demolished by the City and is currently being used as a staging and parking area for the construction of their new parking garage. This site includes a concrete sidewalk, curb, gutter, landscaping and overhead utilities situated along Mayne Street, Bellflower Boulevard and Oak Street. Access to the project site is currently provided via Mayne Street and Oak Street. The project site is relatively flat and includes no native vegetation.

Two CEQA documents have been recently prepared in the vicinity of the proposed project and are incorporated by reference:
• Downtown Bellflower Station Area Specific Plan Negative Declaration (ND 19-01) - Adopted 06/15/19. The Downtown Bellflower Station Area Specific Plan provides design guideline sand development standards for the TOD area, which are applicable to the proposed project. • Downtown Bellflower Parking Structure Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND 17-04) - Adopted 11/02/17. The downtown Bellflower parking structure is under construction and was proposed to provide needed parking in the downtown area for existing and proposed projects including the proposed project.

4. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING LAND USE DESIGNATIONS The City of Bellflower General Plan designation for the project site is Mixed -Use (MU). No change to the project site's existing general plan designation is proposed as part of the project as mixed -use land uses are permitted by right in the "MU" land use designation. The project site's existing zoning designations are is the Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan (TOD SP), and includes the Town Center (TC-1) District, Area 1 and the Bellflower Village Overlay Zone - North (BVOZ-N) and are included in Planning Area 3. The purpose of the TOD SP is to prepare a transit - supportive specific plan that guides the future land use, mobility, and economic development in the TOD SP area. The TOD SP is intended to provide a regulatory framework for the downtown Bellflower area that includes customized land uses and development standards, guidelines, provides expanded multimodal transportation choices, and identifies locations for future development potential. The purpose of the TC District is to provide for the development and redevelopment of the City's downtown area. The purpose of the BVOZ-N is to encourage unique, quality and viable development in order to promote the orderly recycling of existing land uses within the Overlay Zone boundaries. These zoning designations are located within Planning Area 3 of the TOD Specific Plan. According to the City's Zoning Code, Allowable Use Table 4.16 of the TOD SP document, BVOZ-N, mixed uses are allowed. Per the Development Standards Table in Section 4.17 of the TOD SP document, the maximum building height for any building or structure is up to 5 stories or 59 feet. No change to the site's existing zoning designations are proposed as part of the proposed project. The proposed project would be consistent with the permitted uses within the City's Zoning Code and TOD Specific Plan.

The TOD SP provides an opportunity to align the City's long-term goals for the downtown area with the potential benefit of the anticipated rail transit corridor. The TOD SP would be used in conjunction with the General Plan to provide more detailed design and development criteria for individual project proposals and public improvements in the project area. The TOD SP defines an updated land use plan, development standards, mobility plan, infrastructure improvements, design guidelines, and implementation programs for any proposed project in the TOD SP area. The project is consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of for future development associated with the TOD SP. The site's general plan and zoning designations are shown on Figure 3. 6

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency): On the basis of this initial evaluation:

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
❑ I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
1 find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ 1 find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project -level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specific conditions for the project.

Except as provided in Public Resources Code section 21099 (where aesthetic impacts shall not be considered significant for qualifying residential, mixed -use residential, and employment centers), would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In non -urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage points.) If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?

Discussion
a) A scenic vista is defined as a viewpoint that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape for the benefit of the general public. The City's General Plan Open Space/Recreation Element addresses the management of natural resources and the preservation and enhancement of scenic and recreation opportunities in the City. Based on a review of the General Plan, no designated scenic vistas were identified (City of Bellflower 1994). The City of Bellflower is urbanized and developed with commercial, industrial, residential, and public uses and structures. There are no scenic vistas within the City or the proposed project site. The project site is generally bordered by commercial uses and a parking garage (currently under construction) are located to the north; Bellflower Boulevard, the Bellflower Bike Trail (segment east of Bellflower Boulevard), surface parking lots, commercial uses, and the existing Pacific Electric Train Depot are located to the east; the Mayne Events Center and Los Angeles County Fire Museum to the southeast; Mayne Street, vacant commercial uses, and a surface parking lot to the south; single and multi -family residential uses to the southwest; and single and multi -family residential uses located immediately to the west.

The proposed 5 -story residential building is proposed immediately east of the existing single family and multifamily residential units, and will alter their views to the east. Since the project site is already developed with existing uses that does not support any scenic resources and because there are no offsite viewpoints in the City, the proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on any scenic vista. No impact would occur.
b) The proposed project would be located within the City of Bellflower, which is urbanized and developed with commercial, industrial, residential, and public uses and structures. There are no scenic resources within the City or within the project site. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a designated or eligible state scenic highway based on a review of the California Scenic Highway Mapping System. As such, the proposed project would not substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway. No impact would occur. c) As discussed under threshold a, the project site is already developed and surrounded by development on all sides (including the parking structure to the north of the site, currently under construction). The proposed project would be located in an urbanized area zoned Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan (TOD SP) and developed and designed 22 Page 111 of 186

under the Bellflower Village Overlay Zone — North (BVOZ-N). The proposed project includes development of a mixed -use project, consistent with this zoning. The TOD SP and BVOZ-N overlay zone includes design guidelines such as architectural design/style, construction materials and use of colors, signage requirements, and landscape and hardscape requirements. The architectural design and style required under the TOD SP and the BVOZ-N overlay zone requires that a project eliminate bulk through the use of elevation planes, varied rooflines, balconies, and patio covers. As shown on Figure 5, Renderings, the proposed project incorporates various shapes through alteration of rooflines through incorporation of balconies and parapets. The TOD SP and BVOZ-N overlay zone also requires multiple construction materials that would introduce shading, textures, and buildings relief. As shown on Figure 5, the proposed project accomplishes this through the use of varying materials such as brick, steal, stucco, and glass. Thus, because the proposed project is consistent with the zoning of the site, and through compliance with the design guidelines under the TOD SP and BVOZ-N overlay zone, regulating scenic quality, impacts would be less than significant.
d) New light and glare would be created on site as a result of the proposed project from new commercial and residential uses, exterior lighting, parking areas, and vehicles entering and exiting the project site. However, the proposed project would be required to comply with Section

17.48.240(B) of the City's Municipal Code, which requires all light and glare associated with operations and illuminated signs be shielded or directed so as not to illuminate abutting residential districts. Also, building lighting, for the purpose of accenting architectural elements through the use of exposed neon, may be approved by the Director. As shown on Figure 5, Renderings, the proposed project incorporates a variety of materials, including glass and metal. Although the proposed project would incorporate metal railings and glass, the proposed project does not include large expanses of glass or other highly reflective materials. As such, with compliance with the City's Municipal Code, the proposed project would not result in substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. Impacts would be less than significant. 23 Page 112 of 186

II. Agriculture and Forest Resources.

In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997, as updated) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.

In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non - forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -forest use?

Discussion
a) The proposed project would be located within the City of Bellflower, within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is largely developed and urbanized. There is no area within the City that is designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance (DOC 2016). Thus, the proposed project would not convert any farmland into non-agricultural land or affect any Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. No impact would occur.
b) The California Land Conservation Act of 1965, commonly referred to as the Williamson Act, enables local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners for the purpose of restricting specific parcels of land to agricultural or related open space use. In return, landowners receive property tax assessments which are much lower than normal because they are based upon farming and open space uses as opposed to full market value. As discussed under Threshold a, above, the City is developed and urbanized. Accordingly, there is no area in the City that is under a Williamson Act Contract (DOC 2019). The site is zoned TOD SP with the following underlying zone: Town Center (TC-1) District, Area 1 and overlay: Bellflower Village Overlay Zone — North (BVOZ-N) (City of Bellflower 2019). Thus, the proposed project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract. No impact would occur. 24 Page 113 of 186

c) As discussed above, the City, including the project site and surrounding area is developed and urbanized. Further, the site is zoned TOD SP with the following underlying zone: Town Center (TC-1) District, Area 1 and overly: Bellflower Village Overlay Zone — North (BVOZ-N) (City of Bellflower 2019) and thus is not zoned for forest or timber land and there is no area in the City that is designated forest land or timberland. Thus, the proposed project would not conflict with existing zoning for forest or timber land. No impact would occur. d) As discussed above, the City, including the project site and surrounding area is developed and urbanized. Accordingly, there is no area in the City that is designated forest land. Thus, the proposed project would not result in loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non -forest use. No impact would occur.
e) As discussed above, the project site and surrounding area are developed and urbanized and no farm or forest land is present on site or in the surrounding area. Thus, the proposed project would not result in changes in the environment that would result in the conversion of farmland to non- agricultural use. No impact would occur.

Discussion
a) The proposed project is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin). Air quality planning for the Basin is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) was adopted by the SCAQMD as a program to lead the Basin into compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS). It relies on emissions forecasts based on demographic and economic growth projections provided by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Program (SCAQMD 2016). SCAG is charged by federal and state law to prepare and approve "the portions of each AQMP relating to demographic projections and integrated regional land use, housing, employment, and transportation programs, measures and strategies" (SCAQMD 2016).

Projects whose growth is included in the projections used in the formulation of the AQMP are considered to be consistent with the plan and not to interfere with its attainment. The SCAQMD recommends that, when determining whether a project is consistent with the current AQMP, a lead agency must assess whether the project would directly obstruct implementation of the plan and whether it is consistent with the demographic and economic assumptions (typically land use related, such as resultant employment or residential units) upon which the plan is based (SCAQMD 1993).

Construction
The proposed project would result in an increase in short-term employment compared to existing conditions. Being relatively small in number and temporary in nature, construction jobs under the proposed project would not conflict with the long-term employment projections upon which the AQMP is based. Control strategies in the AQMP with potential applicability to short-term emissions from construction activities include strategies denoted in the 2016 AQMP as ONRD-04 and OFFRD-01 and in the 2016 AQMP as MOB -08 and MOB -10, which are intended to reduce emissions from on - road and off -road heavy-duty vehicles and equipment by accelerating replacement of older, emissions -prone engines with newer engines meeting more stringent emission standards. The proposed project would not conflict with implementation of these strategies. Additionally, the proposed project would comply with California Air Resources Board's (CARB) diesel particulate matter control measures to minimize short-term emissions from on -road and off -road diesel 26 Page 115 of 186

equipment. The proposed project would also comply with SCAQMD regulations for controlling fugitive dust pursuant to SCAQMD Rule 403.

Thresholds
Given that construction impacts are temporary and limited to the construction phase, the SCAQMD has established numeric indicators of significance specific to construction activity. Based on the indicators in the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the proposed project would potentially cause or contribute to an exceedance of an ambient air quality standard if the following would occur:

Regional construction emissions from both direct and indirect sources would exceed any of the following SCAQMD-prescribed daily regional emissions thresholds (SCAQMD 2015):
• VOC: 75 pounds per day;
• NOx: 100 pounds per day;
• CO: 550 pounds per day;
• SO2: 150 pounds per day;
• PM1o: 150 pounds per day; or
• PM2.5: 55 pounds per day.

Analysis
Construction would occur for two years beginning in early 2021 and ending in early 2023.

Construction activities would include site preparation, grading, building construction and retrofit, paving, tenant improvements and architectural coating. The worst -case daily emissions were calculated for each phase of construction. This allows the air quality assessment to capture changes in maximum daily construction emissions over time. It should be noted that the maximum daily emissions are predicted values for the worst -case day and do not represent the emissions that would occur for every day within the construction period. Detailed emissions calculations and assumptions are provided in Appendix A of this MND. Results of the criteria pollutant calculations are presented in Table 3, Estimated Maximum Regional Construction Emissions. As shown therein, construction - related daily emissions for the criteria and precursor pollutants would not exceed the SCAQMD numeric indicators for VOC, NOx, CO, Sox, PM10, and PM25. These calculations include appropriate dust control measures that would be implemented during each phase of development, as required by SCAQMD Rule 403 (Control of Fugitive Dust).

The SCAQMD's project thresholds are intended to maintain or achieve attainment designations in the Basin with respect to the CAAQS and NAAQS. If the project does not exceed SCAQMD's thresholds and does not contribute to nonattainment designations, it would not exacerbate or interfere with the region's ability to attain the health -based standards. Furthermore, the lack of exposure of criteria air pollutants that may exceed the NAAQS and CAAQS would avoid health impacts. Because the project's construction phase emissions would be below SCAQMD's recommended thresholds, they would not violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation.

Because the ambient air quality standards are established to be protective of public health, adverse health impacts to receptors are not anticipated due to the project's emissions being below SCAQMD's thresholds. Therefore, with respect to regional construction emissions, impacts would be less than significant. Air quality/emissions calculation worksheets are attached as Appendix A. 27

Notes:

Emission quantities are rounded to "whole number" values. As such, the "total" values presented herein may be one unit more or less than actual values. Exact values (i.e., non -rounded) are provided in the Appendix A. b PM10 and PM25 emissions estimates are based on compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements for fugitive dust suppression.

Demolition of existing building has already occurred. By presenting demolition activities, the modeling reflects a conservative estimate of emissions.

Source: Modeling performed by Ascent Environmental in 2019 Compliance with these requirements is consistent with and meets or exceeds the AQMP requirements for control strategies intended to reduce emissions from construction equipment and activities. Because the proposed project would not conflict with the control strategies intended to reduce emissions from construction equipment, the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the AQMP, and impacts would be less than significant.

Operation
The proposed project is the retrofit of a vacant building into a theater and the construction of a retail commercial/restaurant space and mixed -use condominium building with a land use designation of Commercial (C). The project site's existing zoning designations are SP TOD with underlying zones:
1) TC District, which provides for development and redevelopment of the downtown area, and 2) BVOZ-N, which encourages redevelopment of existing land uses within the Overlay Zone, which permits by right mixed -use residential developments. No change to the site's existing zoning designations are proposed as part of the project. The project site is located within the Downtown Bellflower Station Area Specific Plan (Specific Plan), which aligns the City's long-term goals for the downtown area with the potential benefit of the anticipated rail transit corridor. The proposed project would support future development associated with the Specific Plan. As such, the proposed project would be consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Code.

The proposed project includes Parcel A which would involve redevelopment of an existing vacant building with a new four screen theater and retail commercial/restaurant land uses and Parcel B which would involve construction of a five story, mixed -use, 91 -unit podium condominium building with an at -grade parking structure. The new uses are allowed under the site's existing designations. Thus, the project's commercial/retail and residential uses would be consistent with applicable growth - related projections in plans and policies, such as the City's General Plan, TOD SP, SCAG's RTP, and the AQMP. Additionally, the proposed project would support Transportation Control Measures in the AQMP that are intended to reduce regional mobile source emissions through the installation of development close to transit facilities (the future West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Transit Corridor light rail station, three bus systems including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Long Beach Transit (LBT), and Bellflower Bus, and within three miles of the Metro Green Line), and links 28 Page 117 of 186

to Class I Bellflower bike/pedestrian pathways adjacent to the proposed project. As the proposed project would be consistent with the growth projections in the AQMP and consistent with the General Plan and TOD SP, and would be supportive of relevant Transportation Control Measures aimed at reducing vehicle trips, impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, project operations would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the AQMP, and impacts would be less than significant.

Additionally, the proposed project, as discussed below, would not obstruct implementation of the AQMP as its construction and operational emissions would be less than significant. The proposed project's criteria pollutant emissions would not cause the Basin's criteria pollutant emissions to worsen so as to impede the SCAQMD's efforts to achieve attainment with respect to any criteria pollutant for which it is currently not in attainment, or to cause the Basin to deteriorate from its current attainment status with respect to any other criteria pollutant emissions.

Pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15064.7), a lead agency may consider using, when available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district when making determinations of significance. The proposed project is under the SCAQMD's jurisdiction. SCAQMD has established air quality significance thresholds in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook. These thresholds are based on the recognition that the Basin is a distinct geographic area with a critical air pollution problem for which ambient air quality standards have been promulgated to protect public health (SCAQMD 1993). Table 2 presents emission source types and health effects associated with criteria air pollutants. The City has not adopted specific city-wide significance thresholds for air quality impacts; therefore, it is appropriate to rely on thresholds established by the SCAQMD (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.7). The potential air quality impacts of the proposed project are, therefore, evaluated according to the most recent thresholds adopted by the SCAQMD in connection with its CEQA Air Quality Handbook, Air Quality Analysis Guidance Handbook, and other applicable SCAQMD guidance.
