1.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Specific Plan provides a framework for redevelopment of a 1.277-acre site (the Specific Plan Site or Site) within the northern portion of the Beverly Hills Business Triangle at an anchor location, accessible from South Santa Monica Boulevard and other major streets. This anchor location on a large parcel will enhance the pedestrian circulation within the Business Triangle and attract visitors to Beverly Hills. The Specific Plan proponent, Cheval Blanc (a division of LVMH), develops and operates a limited number of one-of-a-kind luxury hotel developments at select locations around the world. The Cheval Blanc will provide a one-of-a-kind luxury Hotel development that will promote harmonious, robust, and resilient economic development of the Business Triangle and surrounding area. The multiple use, Hotel-driven luxury anchor development is designed to be compatible with the scale and massing of the surrounding neighborhood, to provide pedestrian friendly amenities and uses along the street level providing a vital link between the North Rodeo Drive and North Beverly Drive corridors, and to be sensitive to the quality of life and character of the surrounding community. Consistent with Cheval Blanc’s commitments at its properties throughout the world, the development incorporates environmentally sensitive, sustainable, and responsible design.
The purpose of the Specific Plan is to facilitate the orderly and efficient development of the Specific Plan Site by, among other things, establishing appropriate size, height, and density limits. The intent of the Specific Plan is to provide a concise development plan for the Specific Plan Site and to optimize the use of the Specific Plan Site in a manner that capitalizes on the Site’s location at the northern entrance to the City’s Business Triangle.
The Specific Plan Site has frontage along South Santa Monica Boulevard, North Rodeo Drive, and North Beverly Drive. The Specific Plan allows for a single multiple use building including a luxury Hotel and private Club, with Restaurants and other Appurtenant Uses, and ground level and second floor Retail. The multiple use Hotel driven Specific Plan will anchor and revitalize the northern portion of the Business Triangle. The development of the Cheval Blanc project (the Project) on the Specific Plan Site includes the uses specified, at the densities set forth, in Table 1 – Development Program.
The Project incorporates modulation of building heights and massing, articulation of building façades on all elevations and pedestrian-friendly treatments along the adjacent public rights-of-way. Building height will vary between 4 stories near the western portion of the Site fronting on North Rodeo Drive and 9 stories near the eastern and northern portions of the Site near North Beverly Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard. The Project includes valet, accessible, and employee parking in a subterranean garage, at-grade large truck loading areas, below-grade small delivery van loading areas, outdoor dining on various roof decks, pool deck areas, and large windows and openings providing an indoor/outdoor dining character to the pedestrian experience at the ground level as a part of a ground level Restaurant.
The existing public alley, running north-south through the Site with access from South Santa Monica Boulevard, will be relocated to the southern portion of the Site. The new access point to the alley will be from the west side of North Beverly Drive; the surface of the relocated portion of the alley will remain public, with a portion of the hotel above. A valet porte cochere over a motor court facing South Santa Monica Boulevard will be used for drop-off and pick-up of Hotel guests and Club members and their respective guests, along with Restaurant and Spa patrons. 5 156329300.17
The Project incorporates features that will complement and enhance the pedestrian environment on the three fronting streets, while allowing larger scale development of a multiple use anchor building with a luxury Hotel. At the corner of North Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard a publicly accessible pedestrian plaza will be contiguous with the public sidewalk and include private artwork.
The sidewalks along North Rodeo Drive, South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Drive will be enhanced by a landscaped pedestrian parkway at the curb, providing protection for pedestrians and a landscaped character to the street. The width of the sidewalk along the South Santa Monica Boulevard frontage will be increased by dedication of a surface right-of-way for sidewalk purposes, adding an additional approximately one and a half feet (1.5’) to the existing sidewalk width along the western half of the block and an approximate three feet (3’) for the eastern half of South Santa Monica Boulevard; the resulting perimeter sidewalks will vary from approximately eight feet (8’) to twelve feet (12’) wide plus the three foot (3’) parkway. The ground level of the building will be designed to engage the street by locating Retail and Restaurant uses with large transparent glass windows and doors adjacent to the sidewalks of the adjoining streets, including large windows and openings providing an indoor/outdoor dining character to the pedestrian experience at the ground level as a part of a ground level Restaurant, and through the use of special paving on the perimeter sidewalks integrated with the design of the building. The combined sidewalk enhancements and ground level building uses will Table 1 – Development Program1

facilitate and promote pedestrian connections between the North Rodeo Drive and North Beverly Drive corridors and energize the North Beverly Drive corridor.
The Specific Plan contains policies, standards and guidelines, and conditions of approval designed to ensure that the Specific Plan Site is improved in a manner that recognizes the Site as an anchor in the northern part of the Business Triangle, effectively utilizing architectural elements, providing a world class architectural landmark, incorporating open space and landscaping, and encouraging pedestrian circulation between the Specific Plan Site, other businesses in the City’s Business Triangle, residential neighborhoods, and transit.
1.3 SPECIFIC PLAN SITE
A. Project Location
The Specific Plan Site is comprised of seven legal lots: 1) one legal lot at 456 North Rodeo Drive (Assessor’s Parcel Number 4343-016-012, 456 North Rodeo), 2) two legal lots at 468 North Rodeo Drive (Assessor’s Parcel Number 4343-016-001, 468 North Rodeo Drive), 3) three legal lots at 461- 465 North Beverly Drive (Assessor’s Parcel Number 4343-016-023, 461 North Beverly), and 4) one legal lot at 449-453 North Beverly Drive (Assessor’s Parcel Number 4343-016-019, 449 North Beverly). The Specific Plan Site is generally bounded by South Santa Monica Boulevard to the north, existing commercial buildings to the south, North Beverly Drive to the east, and North Rodeo Drive to the west. The overall Site Area is approximately 1.277 acres. The Site Area used for FAR calculations excluding the existing public alley is 1.208 acres. The Site’s lowest elevation is at its southeastern portion, and its highest elevation of 265.97’ (266’) is at the northeast corner along South Santa Monica Boulevard near North Beverly Drive, which is used to calculate the Project’s height in conformance with BHMC Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 1, Section 10-3-100, “Height of Building.” Specific Plan (“SP Figure”) 1 identifies the location of the Site and SP Figure 2 identifies the Specific Plan Site.
B. Existing Setting
1. Specific Plan Site
The Site is currently developed with four commercial structures, three surface parking lots, and one underground parking lot. The commercial structure at 456 North Rodeo currently houses retailer Celine and provides 6,895 square feet and nine surface parking spaces. The commercial structure at 468 North Rodeo formerly housed retailer Brooks Brothers and provides 20,265 square feet and six surface parking spaces. The commercial structure located at 461 North Beverly Drive formerly housed The Paley Center for Media and provides 23,351 square feet, five surface parking spaces, and 45 underground parking spaces. The 6,276 square foot commercial structure, which consists of two separate connected buildings located at 449 North Beverly Drive (inclusive of 451 and 453, collectively 449 North Beverly), is vacant. No residential units exist on the Site. SP Figure 3 illustrates the existing condition of the Site.
2. Surrounding Land Uses
The Site is surrounded by a mix of land uses as illustrated in SP Figure 4:

North along South Santa Monica Boulevard: A collection of small retail stores and restaurants, including an art gallery, are located across the street from the Site on the north side of South Santa Monica Boulevard. b. South: Immediately south of the Site fronting North Rodeo Drive is a 3- story building, which contains Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani stores 7 156329300.17
on floors 1-2 and a doctor's office and other commercial office tenants on the 3rd floor. The area immediately south of the Project Site close to North Beverly Drive is developed with two 2-story buildings. The building that fronts North Beverly Drive has small retail stores and restaurants on the ground floor and office space on the second floor. The building that fronts the alley (the Geary Building) contains warehouse space on the ground floor with office space on the second floor.
c. East across North Beverly Drive: The 9-story, 110’ Bank of America Financial Center is located directly across from the Site on the east side of Beverly Drive. The building primarily contains office space with a Bank of America Branch office and vacant commercial space on the ground floor fronting North Beverly Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard. d. West across North Rodeo Drive: A collection of luxury clothing stores, including Alexander McQueen, Brioni, DSquared2, Zadig & Voltaire, and Saint Laurent are located across the street from the Site on the west side of North Rodeo Drive.
The closest residential uses to the Site are approximately 525 feet to the north, on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard, north of Beverly Gardens Park. The Site is approximately 0.4 mile walking distance from the Metro D (formerly Purple) line station currently under construction on Wilshire Boulevard.

CHAPTER 2.0 – PLANNING CONTEXT
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an overview of the Specific Plan process, General Plan and Zoning Amendments, and public participation in developing the Specific Plan.
2.2 AUTHORITY
The California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article B, §§ 65450-65457) authorizes cities to adopt specific plans for the systematic implementation of the general plan for all or part of the area covered by the general plan. Any specific plan adopted pursuant to this authority shall be consistent with the adopted general plan. Once a specific plan is adopted, all zoning, subdivision, public works projects, and development agreements shall then be consistent with the specific plan.
The Beverly Hills General Plan (the General Plan) provides that the Site may be used for general commercial uses including hotels and appurtenant uses and retail within the Commercial Low Density General land use designation in the City’s General Plan Land Use designation map.
2.3 GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
The Specific Plan Site is designated as Low-Density General Commercial on the General Plan land use map and has a zoning designation of C-3 prior to the adoption of the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan.
In connection with the adoption of the Cheval Blanc Specific Plan, the Land Use Plan Map in the Land Use Element of the General Plan shall be amended to designate the Specific Plan Site as “SP-Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan,” and the zoning designation for the Specific Plan Site shall be amended to change the designation for the Specific Plan Site to the “Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan” zone as shown in SP Figure 5. Section 2.4 of the Specific Plan provides an analysis of the Specific Plan’s consistency with the City’s General Plan.
2.4 RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN
The General Plan serves as the long-term planning guide for future development throughout the City.
The General Plan operates as a guide to the type of community desired for the future and provides the means to accomplish that goal. California law requires a specific plan to be consistent with the adopted general plan. The Specific Plan will be adopted in conjunction with general plan amendments to amend the Land Use Element and map to change the land use designation for the Specific Plan Area from “Low Density General Commercial” to “SP – Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan,” 1 To be completed after CEQA certification and Specific Plan adoption. 10 156329300.17
thereby permitting a mix of Hotel, Appurtenant Uses, and other commercial uses in the Specific Plan Area in a manner consistent with the General Plan.
The Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan, as amended, and advances the policies, objectives, goals, recommendations and characteristics identified below:
A. Land Use Element
The Land Use Element of the General Plan contains the following policies recommendations and characteristics that are important to the Specific Plan:
LU 1 Long-Term Stability. In general, each of the land use issues is directed toward the enhancement and maintenance of the long-term durability and stability of the community. A plan which would accomplish this must recognize the unique qualities of the community, and with it, the factors which enhance the uniqueness as well as the factors which jeopardize them. Beverly Hills is fortunate in that it is able to serve a variety of residential and commercial demands in a manner and combination which is difficult to duplicate elsewhere in the Los Angeles area. Consequently, as long as Beverly Hills is able to provide an alternative not available elsewhere, it will endure. The characteristics which contribute to the special opportunities available in Beverly Hills include:
The City's key location with respect to major professional and managerial centers of employment.
The wide range of high-quality services, such as police, fire, and education. The quality of the physical environment, such as its extensive network of trees and landscaping, relatively unmarred by overhead utilities. The scale of the community, which fosters a sense of place and identity rather than a sense of anonymity.
The pride of its residents and businesses, as reflected in many ways, such as the architecture, landscaping, and overall concern for the welfare of the community, as evidenced in the wideranging commitments to participation in community affairs. The character of its business community, as reflected in the quality and diversity of its stores, hotels, restaurants, and offices.
The exceptional qualities of its housing stock, which offers a variety of housing and neighborhoods rarely found elsewhere.
LU 9.3 Anchor locations (Commercial Areas). It is also recommended that certain anchor locations be set aside to permit development of a higher intensity type of development that is not otherwise provided in the community. These areas should be located so as to be accessible from or within the City’s major shopping areas and close to the City’s major streets.
These anchor locations should include large parcels that are located at the gateways to the City, such as the Site at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard or where additional building height is appropriate. A variety of land uses such as commercial, residential, and mixed use should be considered for the anchor locations. A change of use from commercial to residential or mixed use should be allowed only if such change provides an adequate transition to adjacent singlefamily neighborhoods. 11 156329300.17
LU 9.4 Anchor Location Design Criteria. The anchor location should encourage unified development oriented towards and along Wilshire Boulevard and at the intersection of North Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard planned to complement the scale and character of adjacent development, including residential areas. In addition, development of the anchor locations should incorporate measures to enhance streets, sidewalks, and roadways in order to encourage pedestrian circulation between these areas and the Business Triangle, and within the Business Triangle.
LU 15.2 Priority Businesses. Retain and build upon the key business sectors contributing to the City's identity, economy, and revenue for resident services, such as entertainment-related Class-A offices, high-end retail and fashion, restaurant, hotel, technology, and supporting uses.
The Specific Plan is consistent with each of these policies, recommendations, and characteristics.
The implementation of the Specific Plan will enhance the quality of the physical environment, foster a strong sense of place with the development of an anchor architectural building in Beverly Hills, incorporate modulation of building heights, articulation of building facades of all elevations and pedestrian-friendly treatments along the public rights-of-way. The heights and massing of the multiple use building respond to the Sites’ location in the Business Triangle and the character of the area, with Retail and lower building heights along North Rodeo Drive frontage near South Santa Monica Boulevard. Via stepped-back, modulated massing, the Project’s building heights along South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Drive are compatible with and transition to the unmodulated height of an existing structure to the east. The luxury Hotel, private Club, Restaurants, and other Appurtenant Uses and Retail uses that will be developed in the Specific Plan Site will be of exceptional quality and will be designed to promote pedestrian activity along its three adjoining streets in the Business Triangle. The pedestrian plaza with private artwork at the intersection of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive provides an iconic art anchor for the northern portion of the Business Triangle.
Consistent with General Plan policies LU 9.3 and LU 9.4, the Site is designated in the Specific Plan as an anchor location appropriate for higher intensity-type development and additional height. The Site is large, accessible from major streets and close to other major streets. The unified multiple use commercial development incorporates measures to enhance the street and sidewalks, encouraging pedestrian circulation within the Business Triangle, along North Rodeo Drive, South Santa Monica Boulevard, and North Beverly Drive. These measures include pedestrian supportive uses along the sidewalk with large transparent windows providing views of the Project’s Retail and Restaurant uses and including large windows and openings providing an indoor/outdoor dining character to the pedestrian experience at the ground floor Restaurant use, a publicly accessible pedestrian plaza be contiguous with the public sidewalk and including private artwork, new street trees similar to existing species, landscaped parkways, and other landscape features.
B. Open Space Element
The Open Space Element of the General Plan contains the following statements that are important to the Specific Plan:
Overview: Beverly Hills offers a variety of natural and man-made aesthetic resources that define its unique character. The City’s built environment reflects its rich architectural heritage.
However, the City’s greatest aesthetic resource is its elaborate network of landscaping and scenic vistas which fosters a sense of spaciousness within an urban setting, differentiating this community from others.
12 156329300.17
OS 8.5 Urban Parks. Encourage and allow opportunities for new development to provide small plazas, pocket parks, civic spaces, and other gathering places that are available to the public to help meet recreational demands.
The Project provides a publicly accessible pedestrian plaza with private artwork at the intersection of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive, streetscape improvements on the three adjoining streets, and landscaping as part of its building façade.
C. Circulation Element
The Circulation Element of the Beverly Hills General Plan contains the following policies that are important to the Specific Plan:
CIR 4.1. Parking Provisions. Ensure that adequate parking is provided for existing and future uses while considering shared parking opportunities, Travel Demand Management (TDM) plans, and availability of alternate modes of travel, based on the Site’s proximity to transit.
CIR 11.2b. A program for widening and realignment of the alleys as recommended in the Master Plan of Streets Study. This proposal calls for dedication of additional alley right-of-way to better enable the alleys to serve their intended function. This is an important implementation tool which would serve as a development guide. Due to its specific nature, however, it should be adopted separately from the City’s General Plan, and modified as specific circumstances dictate.
CIR 11.2c. In commercial areas, however, there is the additional concern for alley relocation and/or closure, which may be desirable in conjunction with specific development proposals. As important as they are, the existence of the alleys should not preclude consideration of proposals which would alter them if satisfactory alternate services would be provided. In certain instances, development proposals which would utilize the alley may provide a type or quality of development or access which better serves the City’s objectives and as such, should be considered. Such development proposals might include alley closure which would permit unified development across an entire block or permit safer street access, or use of the alley as part of a landscaped pedestrian plaza or mall, or relocation of an alley of a more functional arrangement of structures or possible consideration of the space above or below the alley for parking purposes.
The Specific Plan is consistent with these provisions of the Circulation Element of the Beverly Hills General Plan. The parking for the Site provides adequate centrally located, uniformly operated parking facilities that will provide adequate access to parking for visitors and employees alike. Valet parking will be provided in the motor court for Hotel and Appurtenant Uses, Restaurant and Spa patrons, as well as guests and visitors to the Specific Plan Site. Valet parking for Club members and their guests will be provided on North Beverly. VIP and VIC Retail customers shopping by appointment and employees will self-park by accessing the down ramp at the rear of the building via the relocated alley off of North Beverly Drive. General Retail customer parking (i.e., parking for Retail customers who are not shopping by appointment) will be provided off-Site by participation in the City’s In Lieu Parking Program. Relocation of the alley and widening the South Santa Monica Boulevard sidewalk right-of-way, including by amending the Master Plan of Streets, allows for one-of-a-kind luxury, Hotel driven multiple use development across a unified series of parcels along the block of South Santa Monica Boulevard from North Rodeo Drive to North Beverly Drive, providing a more functional arrangement of the building as an anchor development revitalizing the northern portion of the Business Triangle.
13 156329300.17
2.5 RELATIONSHIP TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE
As set forth in proposed BHMC Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 15.9, the Specific Plan supersedes other development regulations and standards set forth in the Beverly Hills Planning and Zoning Ordinances (BHMC Title 10, Chapters 3 and 4) for the Specific Plan Site. The provisions of this Specific Plan shall apply in lieu of the provisions in the Planning and Zoning Ordinances, provided that for development and operational standards not established in this Specific Plan, the standards in the Planning and Zoning Ordinances shall apply. In addition, any terms used in this Specific Plan that are not defined or described herein shall have the meanings, if any, set forth for them in the Planning and Zoning Ordinances.
2.6 RELATIONSHIP TO PARKING STANDARDS
A. The Specific Plan relationship to the City’s generally-applicable parking standards, and the Specific Plan’s parking standards set forth in Section 4.4, Table 2 – Parking Requirements, are described below. Parking for the Project shall be provided in conformance with Section 4.4.
1. For the Development Program in Table 1 – Development Program, a Parking Demand Analysis Study (Kimley Horn, 2021, revised 2022) was prepared using two methodologies from the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Shared Parking, 3rd Edition (ULI Shared Parking), with input from empirical data from hotels and restaurants in Beverly Hills and comparable, nearby communities, analytical assumptions based on empirical data and recently relied on by the City and the City of West Hollywood regarding parking demand for private member club uses, and operational information from the applicant’s existing retail stores on North Rodeo Drive regarding the demand for on-Site VIP-VIC Retail customer parking.
2. The Parking Demand Analysis Study found a thirty-three percent (33%) overnight drive rate for existing Beverly Hills hotels. Hotel drive in rates are derived by calculating the number of occupied rooms and comparing that with overnight cars parked in a hotel’s parking garage.
3. The Specific Plan provides that the Site’s ground floor Restaurant shall, and its sixth floor Restaurant may, be operated as a non-Appurtenant Use, i.e., open to the public. The Parking Demand Analysis therefore assumed that both the ground floor and sixth floor Restaurants (both indoor and outdoor) would be operated as open to the public and would be provided with parking.
4. The empirically-based drive rate and requirement that the publicly-accessible (i.e., non-Appurtenant) Restaurants be separately parked support a Hotel use parking requirement of 0.83/parking space per Hotel room.
5. Consistent with BHMC Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 28.6, section 10-3-2866(I), it is appropriate to reduce the Project’s parking requirements, excepting Club Facilities and Retail, by fifteen percent (15%) because of:
a. The Site’s close proximity to public transportation including Metro Rapid Line 704, with a 15-minute headway weekday service and stops along Santa Monica Boulevard within 600’ and 800’ of the Site, and Metro Lines 4, 14/37, 20/720 and 16/316, with stops within 500’ and 1,400’ of the Site.
The heavy rail Metro Line D (formerly Purple Line) Wilshire Rodeo 14 156329300.17
Station, located within 0.4 mile walking distance of the Site, is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2025;
b. The Site is located in close proximity to a dense concentration of shopping and services easily accessible on foot; and
c. Free transit passes shall be made available to Hotel and Club employees who use transit to travel to and from the Site to work, see Attachment G Transportation Demand Management Strategies in LA VMT Calculator (Los Angeles Department of Transportation), p. 11, providing a twenty percent (20%) VMT reduction when employees are eligible for employerprovided transit passes. Transit passes shall also be made available to Hotel guests upon request.
6. The Parking Demand Analysis Study analyzed peak parking demand under two methodologies: (i) the parking demand rates, credits and shared parking model supplied by ULI Shared Parking; and (ii) applying the BHMC, including applicable BHMC-parking credits, in conjunction with the ULI Shared Parking model. Under these analyses, the peak weekday parking demand varies from 139 to 151 spaces and the peak weekend parking demand varies from 140 to 146 spaces.
See Parking Demand Analysis Study Section II and Appendix E. The Specific Plan’s parking requirements, as applied to the Project, require 139 on-Site parking spaces and 33 off-Site parking spaces for non-VIP-VIC Retail customers via the City’s In Lieu Parking Program, for a total of 172 parking spaces, which is more than the estimated parking demand.
7. The Project’s participation in the In-Lieu Parking District to provide Retail customer parking is appropriate on the basis of the following findings:
a. The Site is located in an In-Lieu Parking District and contains eligible uses pursuant to BHMC Section 10-3-3301, including General Retail Sales Commercial Activities, Convenience Sale and Service Commercial Uses and Food Sales, and Service Commercial Uses.The Project encourages retail trade in the In-Lieu Parking District and will generate additional retail sales through its Retail use itself and because the Project as a whole will attract and serve potential retail sales customers in the In-Lieu Parking District;
b. The Project’s Retail use and the Project as a whole are compatible with and will not be detrimental to retail business in the In-Lieu Parking District; c. The Parking Demand Analysis demonstrates that 48 customer parking spaces, including 15 VIP-VIC Retail customer parking spaces and 10 employee parking spaces, are sufficient to serve the Project’s Retail use; d. Off-Site provision of 33 new customer parking spaces for the Project’s Retail use via participation in the In-Lieu Parking District will not unreasonably deplete parking resources within the In-Lieu Parking District, adversely affect existing and anticipated development in the vicinity, create any significantly adverse traffic safety impacts, pedestrianvehicle conflicts, or parking impacts, or be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare.
15 156329300.17
e. Off-Site provision of 33 total (28 new) customer parking spaces for the Project’s Retail use via participation in the In-Lieu Parking District will promote harmonious development of the area.
8. The Parking Demand Analysis Study analyzed special event parking demand, based on the Specific Plan’s limitations on the number of events and their capacities, see Parking Demand Analysis Study Section IV, and concludes that the special event peak parking demand is for 218 spaces (this is inclusive of daily weekday and weekend peak parking demand). A Valet Parking Management Plan (LAZ Parking, 2022) shows, at pages 4-6, that levels B1, B2 and B3 can accommodate up to 218 spaces with stacked parking. Therefore, the peak event parking demands anticipated in the Parking Demand Analysis Study will be accommodated by the Project.

CHAPTER 3.0 – PLAN COMPONENTS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Specific Plan is a comprehensive policy and regulatory document that will be used to guide development of the Site. This chapter addresses (a) the location, distribution, and extent of land uses within the Specific Plan Site, and (b) the location, distribution, and extent of essential facilities serving the Specific Plan Site.
3.2 LAND USES
The land use concept for the Specific Plan Site encourages a development consisting of a luxury Hotel, private Club and Appurtenant Uses, Restaurants, Retail, a subterranean parking structure, and rooftop and ground level open areas, all on 1.277 net acres of land. SP Figure 6 illustrates the basic land use concept for the Specific Plan Site.
The uses in the Specific Plan Site shall be limited to those uses set forth in Section 4.2 of this Specific Plan.
A conditional use permit shall not be required for a Hotel and private Club with Appurtenant Uses, Restaurants, Retail, or any other use listed in Section 4.2 of this Specific Plan, other than as provided for in Section 4.
3.3 SITE PLANNING
A. Building Placement
The multiple use building will be placed close to the public rights-of-way of the adjacent streets to create an active pedestrian environment along the public sidewalks as shown in SP Figures 7 and 9.
The location, distribution and type of open space, pedestrian amenities, and landscaping shall be substantially as shown on SP Figures 19 and 37 of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan’s Development Program is summarized in Table 1 – Development Program.
B. Circulation
1. Local Circulation
The Specific Plan Site is located within the area bounded by South Santa Monica Boulevard to the north, North Beverly Drive to the east, and North Rodeo Drive to the west. The locations of these streets are shown on SP Figure 8.
According to the California Highway System - Functional Classification Roads, used by the City to define the local street network, South Santa Monica Boulevard is a principal arterial, Beverly Drive is a minor arterial, and North Rodeo Drive is a local street with regional traffic carried by both Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Drive. The Project Site is adjacent to South Santa Monica Boulevard; note that North Santa Monica Boulevard carries a larger proportion of the regional through traffic than South Santa Monica Boulevard. South Santa Monica Boulevard extends from the City of Los Angeles border on the west and then merges with Burton Way on the east in Beverly Hills near Rexford Drive.
South Santa Monica Boulevard has two travel lanes in each direction, left turn lanes at intersections and no on street parking adjacent to the Site. Beverly Drive extends from Sunset Boulevard in the City of Beverly Hills on the north to just past National Boulevard in the City of Los Angeles to the south, and consists of two travel lanes in each direction with metered on street parking near the southern portion of the Site. North Rodeo Drive, the premier shopping street in Beverly Hills, extends from 18 156329300.17
Wilshire Boulevard in the south to Sunset Boulevard to the north and has two travel lanes in each direction, a left turn lane at Santa Monica Boulevard, a landscaped median south of the Site, and palm tree lined sidewalks on both sides.
Transportation improvements and facilities including alleys, driveways, and parking facilities shall be constructed within the Specific Plan Site to minimize parking and circulation impacts on adjoining streets. The alley, driveway, and parking facilities to be constructed within the Specific Plan Site shall be substantially as shown on SP Figures 9 through 12. Parking and Appurtenant Uses may be redistributed within the below grade levels from the distribution shown on the conceptual Architectural Plans submitted with the Specific Plan, dated 10/20/2020 and partially revised 12/28/2021 (Plans).
2. Transportation lmpacts
A traffic study will be prepared as part of the CEQA analysis and, separately, in compliance with the City’s Local Transportation Assessment Guidelines (October 2019). [Note: This text is a placeholder and will be updated as the review process unfolds.]
3. Pedestrian Circulation
The Project and the public sidewalks of the three adjoining streets are designed to encourage pedestrians from neighboring areas to walk to the commercial uses at the Specific Plan Site, such as the Retail and Restaurants, and to provide an attractive pedestrian link within the Business Triangle between the North Rodeo Drive corridor and the North Beverly Drive corridor. The Project continues and enhances the pedestrian-oriented retail environment along North Rodeo Drive with two-story luxury Retail façades containing large transparent windows fronting along the sidewalk providing visual interest and window-shopping opportunities. The sidewalk has a landscaped parkway with street trees near the curb providing protection for pedestrians from traffic, as well as a new pedestrian plaza at the intersection of North Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard providing additional pedestrian space near the crosswalks; private artwork will be installed at the plaza.
Along South Santa Monica Boulevard, luxury Retail continues with large transparent windows fronting on the sidewalk. Dedication of an additional one and a half foot (1.5’) to three feet (3’) of surface rightof-way enlarges the existing sidewalk, which is also enhanced with a landscaped parkway with palms adjacent to the curb providing protection for pedestrians from traffic. The pedestrian access to the Hotel lobby is from the sidewalk along the side of the motor court, which is partially screened from pedestrians on the sidewalk by a low wall. The transparent lobby wall provides visual access to a large fine art mural to be installed at the rear lobby wall, which will provide visual interest to pedestrians. At the intersection of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Drive, a gourmet Restaurant with large windows and openings provides an indoor/outdoor dining character to the pedestrian experience, which, along with an ancillary, pedestrian-only entrance to the Restaurant, will provide vibrant activity and interest for pedestrians along the sidewalk.
Along North Beverly Drive, the large windows and indoor/outdoor dining character of the Restaurant facing the sidewalk continue. Pedestrian access-only for Club members is provided via a lobby with an opening to the street. A landscape parkway with street trees at the curb protects pedestrians on the sidewalk from adjoining street traffic.
4. Parking and Loading Facilities
The subterranean parking structure shall provide a minimum of 139 parking spaces in compliance with Section 4.4 of this Specific Plan and substantially as shown on SP Figures 10, 11, and 12. On- 19 156329300.17
Site parking shall be below-grade with valet parking for Hotel guests, Club members, and Spa and Restaurant patrons primarily in tandem spaces and self-parked Retail VIP-VIC customer and employee parking primarily in single loaded spaces; these spaces provide parking for all land uses within the Specific Plan Site, with the exception of 33 spaces for Retail customer parking which shall be off-Site by participation in the City’s In Lieu Parking Program. Employee parking may, subject to subsequent approval, be provided off-Site as provided for in Section 4.4(B). Truck loading spaces may be used for staging of pick-up and drop-off of passenger vehicles during occasional peak-event times, including times of general peak event congestion in the City.
The Project’s full-size loading areas shall be located at grade and located in the southern portion of the Site (see SP Figures 9 and 29); two smaller format van loading spaces will be provided below grade (see Specific Plan Figure 10).
3.4 UTILITIES
Due to the long-time operation of commercial uses at the Specific Plan Site and the urbanized nature of the surrounding area, the Specific Plan Site is currently provided with facilities for sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, and energy. The Specific Plan Project has been studied to determine if the development will require additional sewage, water, solid waste disposal, energy, or other essential facilities. Supporting information and analyses have been documented in a “Utility Memorandum”, dated August 14, 2020 prepared by Kimley Horn as well as a “Preliminary Hydrology & Hydraulics Report”, dated August 14, 2020 prepared by Kimley Horn. The Project will be required to pay its fair share to mitigate any cumulative impacts on City facilities. Planning level work has been done with the applicable utility service providers to determine the Project’s demands on each system. In addition, all utility construction, connections, and maintenance shall conform to the provisions of the BHMC.
Implementation of the Specific Plan will require relocation of certain utilities substantially as shown on SP Figures 13 through 18.
A. Water
The City of Beverly Hills Water Department provides water to the Specific Plan Site. Existing water lines running along South Santa Monica Boulevard, North Beverly Drive, and the alley forming a looped distribution system. The Project proposes to interrupt the water line loop in the alley at the southern edge of the Site and South Santa Monica Boulevard. The alley line will be looped back down the existing alley. The line at South Santa Monica Boulevard will be capped at its current connection to the alley line. SP Figure 13 shows the proposed relocation of the water distribution system that serves the Specific Plan Site and adjacent buildings.
The Utility Memorandum provides further detail showing the projected water service required by the Project. City water service infrastructure does not need to be upgraded to serve the Project.
The applicant has coordinated with the Director of Public Works at the City of Beverly Hills and the City’s consultant, CIVILTEC Engineering Inc., with regard to the above noted relocation as well as the capacity of the existing supply and distribution of water to accommodate the Project’s water demand.
The applicant understands that CIVILTEC has completed a preliminary memorandum to confirm the viability of a looped water system within the existing alley. Similarly, the City has performed an initial hydraulic analysis and confirmed that additional water mains will not be required to service the load requirement of the Specific Plan Site.
B. Sewer
20 156329300.17
The City of Beverly Hills Public Works Department provides sewer service to the Specific Plan Site.
An existing sanitary sewer line runs within South Santa Monica Boulevard from the commercial buildings north of the Site, through the Site and south along the alley. The existing sewer line will be capped on both sides of the Site. Existing sewer service lines in South Santa Monica Boulevard will be extended to the east to connect to an existing manhole and sewer line on South Santa Monica Boulevard between North Beverly Drive and Cannon Drive. The sewer line within the alley will be terminated at the southern edge of the Site. SP Figure 14 shows the proposed relocation of the sewer facilities servicing the Site and adjacent buildings.
The Utility Memorandum provides further detail showing the projected sewer loads from the Project and verifies that the City infrastructure does not need to be upgraded as a result of the Project.
The applicant has coordinated with the Public Works Department of the City of Beverly Hills with regard to the relocation and capacity of the existing sewer lines to accommodate the wastewater generated by the Project; the Department has approved the proposed conceptual plan and supporting documentation as provided in the Utility Memorandum.
C. Solid Waste Disposal
Solid waste disposal for the Specific Plan Site is provided through a franchise with the City. All solid waste generated by the Project will be disposed of at landfills in Los Angeles or Riverside Counties.
Solid waste generation projections for the Specific Plan Site are determined by the Project size and usage typology. Projections by the City’s environmental consultant will determine if any mitigation measures will be required for solid waste disposal facilities and landfill capacities to accommodate the Project’s projected solid waste.
D. Storm Drain
The City of Beverly Hills Public Works Department provides storm drain service to the Specific Plan Site. An existing storm drain line runs along South Santa Monica Boulevard flowing to the west. The location of this line is outside of the boundary of the Site. The location of storm drain facilities and proposed storm drain plan tie-in for the Project are shown on SP Figure 15.
The Site was previously developed with commercial buildings and parking facilities with no landscape area. Implementation of the Project adds planted surface areas over structure, which will reduce the amount of impermeable land on the Site and will thereby reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from the Site. In addition, development within the Site will be required to comply with the City’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and the City’s stormwater and urban runoff management ordinance (BHMC Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 5). The Preliminary Hydrology & Hydraulics Report provides further detail showing the reduced stormwater flow from the Site.
E. Energy
Southern California Edison Company (SCE) provides electricity to the Specific Plan Site and Southern California Gas Company (SCG) provides natural gas to the Specific Plan Site.
Existing underground electrical service lines are run along South Santa Monica Boulevard and the alley. SCE main lines will both be capped on either side of the Site. SCE will require additional conduits and structures be installed within the existing alley to accommodate service feeds to the neighboring properties. SCE will also require a new vault to be installed on North Beverly Drive to accommodate the service to the Site. Other electric equipment will be installed in the open-air Electric Capacitor Yard on the Site to improve the power delivery quality on the circuitry as determined by 21 156329300.17
SCE; see Section 4.8(E) regarding the Electric Capacitor Yard. SP Figure 16 shows the proposed relocation of electrical facilities. Additionally, the Utility Memorandum provides further detail showing the projected electrical loads of the Project and the work that has been done with SCE to provide service, including preliminary design plans provided by SCE.
Existing natural gas lines run along South Santa Monica Boulevard and the alley. SCG main lines will both be capped on both sides of the Specific Plan Site. SCG will require a new connection be installed within South Santa Monica Boulevard to the east or to the west to connect the existing gas line to service. The direction will be determined by the SCG engineering department in their final design.
SCG will install their service to the Project from the existing alley. SP Figure 17 shows the proposed relocation of existing gas facilities. Additionally, the Utility Memorandum provides further detail showing the projected gas loads of the Project and the work that has been done with SCG to provide service. SCG has completed preliminary design plans that show the work needed to support the Project.
The applicant has coordinated with with regard to the relocation and capacity of the existing supply and distribution facilities for electricity and natural gas to accommodate the Project’s demands.
F. Telecom
AT&T and Spectrum provide telecommunication service (cable/internet) to the Specific Plan Site.
Existing underground telecom service lines are provided along South Santa Monica Boulevard and the alley. Telecom lines will be capped on both sides of the Site. The telecom providers have requested additional conduits be installed within the existing alley to accommodate service feeds to the Project and the neighboring properties. SP Figure 18 shows the proposed relocation of telecom distribution structures to be installed to serve the Project. The applicant has coordinated with AT&T with regard to their equipment in the area and they have provided confirmation of these preliminary plans.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS RECOMMENDING THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS CERTIFY
THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, ADOPT
FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND ADOPT A
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
FOR THE CHEVAL BLANC BEVERLY HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN
PROJECT
Section 1. The Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan Project is a proposal for a single multiple use building that contains a luxury hotel with restaurants and ancillary services, a private club, and street level retail uses facing North Rodeo Drive. The proposed Specific Plan identifies a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 4.2 to 1 for the Project Site overall, and a maximum above ground FAR of 3.91 to 1. The development standards contained in the proposed Specific Plan allow up to 220,950 square feet (SF) of floor area in the building and up to 115 hotel guest rooms. The proposed building varies in height across the Project Site. The proposed building is 4- stories, 51’ tall on the North Rodeo Drive frontage, has multiple step-ups in building height towards the east side of the Project Site, and a maximum height of 9-stories, 115’ tall on the Project’s North Beverly Drive frontage (the “Proposed Project”).
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; hereafter “CEQA”), and specifically Public Resources Code Section 21080(d), the City prepared an Environmental Impact Report for the Proposed Project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. 15000 et seq.; hereafter the “CEQA Guidelines”). The final significance determinations of environmental impacts of the Proposed Project are assessed using the existing Project site conditions as the baseline.
Section 3. On November 13, 2020, the City distributed a Notice of Preparation (“NOP”) to the State Office of Planning and Research. The NOP was circulated from November 13, 2020 through December 18, 2020, to receive input from interested public and private parties on issues to be addressed in the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”). In addition, a public scoping meeting was held via video-conference on December 2, 2020, to provide information on the Proposed Project and receive additional comments on issues to be addressed in the Final EIR.
Section 4. On September 17, 2021, a Notice of Public Hearing and Notice of Availability (“NOA”) of the Draft EIR was published. In accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City analyzed the Proposed Project’s potential impacts on the environment.
Section 5. The City circulated the Draft EIR and its appendices for the Proposed Project to the public and other interested parties for a 45-day comment period, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15105, from September 17, 2021 through Monday, November 1, 2021.
During the public comment period, on October 28, 2021, the Planning Commission held a hearing to review and accept comments regarding the contents and scope of the Draft EIR.
-2-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Section 6. The City prepared written responses to all comments received on the Draft EIR and those responses to comments are incorporated into Section 10 of the Final EIR. The City received no Draft EIR comment letters from public agencies.
Section 7. On February 10 and February 24, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the EIR and the Proposed Project. Thereafter, the Applicant requested that the matter be continued to a date uncertain to enable them to consider the issues raised at the hearings, and an additional hearing was held on May 26, 2022, at which time the Commission considered the Proposed Project and revisions thereto, as described below, and hereafter collectively referred to as “Project Modifications”:
1. Modifying the operation of the proposed 2nd floor and 7th floor restaurants that together comprise approximately 7,952 square feet of indoor dining space as well as the approximately 2,260 square feet of outdoor dining space on the 7th floor such that these areas would be appurtenant uses to the hotel and club members (i.e., the restaurant uses would be open to hotel guests, club members and their guests, but not open to the general public). However, the total restaurant floor area of 20,334 square feet previously evaluated in the EIR would remain;
2. Eliminating the area of the Day Spa on the 5th floor and reallocating this floor area to create larger hotel rooms on the 5th floor (with no increase in the number of hotel rooms and maintaining the Day Spa area on the 4th floor only);
3. Providing parking for the majority of the patrons of the retail uses off-site in City-owned parking facilities, including payment for in-lieu parking spaces.
Specifically, the Project would utilize 33 total customer parking spaces off-site for the Project's retail uses via participation in the In-Lieu Parking District as set forth in the Specific Plan. Fifteen (15) parking spaces will be provided on-site to support parking for very important person-very important client (VIP-VIC) retail customers who will shop by appointment. Access for up to 24 self-park parking spaces would also be provided on-site for employees. VIP and VIC retail customers shopping by appointment and employees will self-park by accessing the down ramp at the rear of the hotel building via the relocated alley off of North Beverly Drive and will exit southbound down the alley to Brighton Avenue; they will not use the motor court.
With the proposed modifications, however, the overall maximum floor area under the Specific Plan would remain at 220,950 square feet. With the proposed modifications, the projected buildout to the Specific Plan maximum would include approximately 110,436 square feet associated with 115 hotel rooms; 24,772 square feet of hotel lobby and circulation areas; a 4,924-square-foot wellness center; a 6,899-square-foot spa; 20,410 square feet associated with employee facilities, office, and back of house uses including a central kitchen; 7,952 square feet of indoor hotel/club restaurants that would be appurtenant uses (approximately 2,260 square feet of outdoor dining space would also be provided on the 7th floor that would be an appurtenant use); a 7,001-square-foot club conference room/screening room/lounge; and 1,197 square feet associated with a club lobby and associated circulation areas. Projected buildout to the Specific Plan maximum would also include 24,976 square feet of retail uses, and 12,382 square feet of indoor restaurant,
-3-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
lounge, bar, and restaurant kitchen uses (approximately 2,500 square feet of pool deck outdoor dining/bar area would also be provided on the 6th floor that would be open to the public). The Specific Plan would continue to provide for a maximum FAR of 4.2:1 (with an above ground FAR of 3.91:1). The overall design of the building, including building height and massing would not change with the proposed modifications. In addition, the construction assumptions, including the depth of excavation and overall duration of construction activities would be substantially the same as that evaluated in the EIR. The existing alley would also continue to be relocated to the southern portion of the Project Site and would be accessible from the west side of North Beverly Drive. The location of the existing alley would be incorporated into the Project Site.
With the proposed modifications, the number of parking spaces previously proposed onsite would be reduced from 185 spaces to 139 spaces. These spaces would continue to be provided in three subterranean parking levels beneath the hotel/retail building. In addition, the Project would utilize 33 total customer parking spaces off-site for the Project's retail uses via participation in the In-Lieu Parking District as set forth in the Specific Plan.
Primary access to the building and parking would continue to be from South Santa Monica Boulevard from a valet motor court. However, with the proposed modifications, access to the proposed valet motor court on South Santa Monica Boulevard would be modified and would be used for drop-off and pick-up for hotel guests, club members, spa, and restaurant patrons only. Access to the proposed valet motor court for patrons of the proposed retail uses would no longer be provided as the majority of the parking for retail patrons would be provided off-site. Very Important Person (VIP) and Very Important Customer (VIC) retail customers shopping by appointment and all employees will self-park by accessing the down ramp at the rear of the hotel building via the relocated alley off of North Beverly Drive, will exit southbound down the alley to Brighton Avenue, and will not use the motor court. As such, with the proposed modifications, the number of cars accessing from and leaving the motor court to South Santa Monica Boulevard would be reduced.
Subsequently at the May 26, 2022, Planning Commission hearing the Project was further modified to provide a separate valet stand for club members on the west side of North Beverly Drive. With this proposed modification, access to the Project motor court on South Santa Monica Boulevard would be limited to hotel guests, spa and restaurant patrons only.
Club members would not have access to the Project motor court as club members would instead utilize the proposed valet area on North Beverly Drive or self-park in the subterranean parking area through key card controlled direct access. With the additional proposed modifications, the number of cars accessing from and leaving the motor court to South Santa Monica Boulevard would be further reduced.
Section 8. The potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Project including the Specific Plan, and incorporating the Project Modifications (hereafter referred to as the “Project”), were fully evaluated through the preparation of Appendix M (Supplemental Analysis Regarding Modifications to the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Project) and Appendix M-1 (Additional Supplemental Analysis Regarding Modifications to the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Project) of the Final EIR. As described in Appendices M and M-1, the Project Modifications do not result in any changes to the basic conclusions of the Final EIR, and supplemental environmental analysis does
-4-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
not constitute significant new information and does not require recirculation of the EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5.
Section 9. During the course of the Planning Commission’s consideration of the Project, after the close of the official period for interested parties to provide comment on the Draft EIR, and prior to and at the Planning Commissions’ continued hearing on February 24, 2022, a number of additional comments (hereafter referred to as “Late Comments”) were submitted to the City for consideration. Although CEQA does not require the preparation of responses to untimely comments, the City opted to nonetheless to prepare responses to the Late Comments (“Supplemental Responses”) for the benefit of the commenters, the public, and the City’s decision makers. The Supplemental Responses are included in Appendix L of the Final EIR.
Section 10. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR dated September 2021 and all appendices thereto; the Comments and Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR; the clarifications, revisions, and corrections to the Draft EIR; the Final EIR and Final EIR Appendices L, M, and M-1; and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; all of which collectively is referred to herein as the “Final EIR”. The Planning Commission has considered the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan, the Final EIR, and the evidence, both written and oral, including staff reports, supporting documentation, and public comment letters, presented at the various hearings.
Section 11. The findings made in this Resolution are based upon the information and evidence set forth in the Final EIR and upon other substantial evidence that has been presented at the hearings and in the record of the proceedings. The Final EIR, staff reports, technical studies, appendices, plans, specifications, and other documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which this Resolution is based are on file for public examination during normal business hours at the Community Development Department, Beverly Hills City Hall, 455 N.
Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210. The custodian of records is the City of Beverly Hills Community Development Department. Each of these documents is incorporated herein by reference.
Section 12. The Planning Commission finds and recommends that the City Council find that agencies and interested members of the public have been afforded ample notice and opportunity to comment on the Final EIR and the Project.
Section 13. Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that the City, before approving the Project, make one or more of the following written finding(s) for each significant effect identified in the Final EIR, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding:
(a) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the final EIR; or,
(b) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency; or,
-5-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
(c) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR.
Section 14. The required findings are set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(a) Environmental impacts identified in the Initial Study/NOP for the Project as no impact, or less than significant, are described in Exhibit A, Section IV. (b) Environmental impacts identified in the Final EIR as less than significant without mitigation are described in Exhibit A, Section V.

(e) Growth inducement and irreversible environmental effects associated with the Project are described in Exhibit A, Section VIII.
(f) Alternatives to the Project that might eliminate or reduce significant environmental impacts, and the reason such alternatives are inferior to the Project, are described in Exhibit A, Section IX.
Section 15. Prior to taking action, the Planning Commission has heard, been presented with, reviewed, and considered the information and data in the record, including oral and written testimony presented to it for and during public hearings. The City’s independent environmental consultants, City staff, and the Project applicant’s environmental consultants, reviewed and analyzed the comments received on the Project’s environmental review. No comments or any additional information submitted to the City have produced any substantial new information requiring additional environmental review or re-circulation of the Final EIR under CEQA because no new significant environmental impacts were identified, nor was any substantial increase in the severity of any previously disclosed environmental impacts identified.
Section 16. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15090, certify that the Final EIR 1) reflects the City Council’s independent judgement and analysis; 2) that was presented to, and reviewed and considered by, the City Council; and 3) has been completed in compliance with CEQA.
Section 17. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt findings as required pursuant to CEQA, substantially similar to the “Findings and Facts in Support of Findings” attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 18. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting program as required by CEQA, substantially similar to the “Mitigation Monitoring and

I. Introduction
The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) provide that no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report (“EIR”) has been certified which identifies one or more significant effects on the environment that will occur if a project is approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more of the following findings:
A. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR.
B. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
C. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR.1
Pursuant to the requirements of CEQA, the City Council hereby makes the following environmental findings in connection with the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan Project.
These findings are based upon evidence presented in the record of these proceedings, both written and oral, the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan Project including all the appendices, the Comments and Responses to Comments on the EIR for the Project, staff and consultants’ reports presented through the hearing process, and all of their contents.
II. Project Objectives
The objectives that the project applicant seeks to achieve with this Project (the “Project Objectives”) are as follows:
x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options

including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
x Replace existing uses and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive anchor development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the portion of the alley which bisects the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
III. Project Description
The Project proposes the creation of the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan, which would facilitate the orderly and efficient development of the Project Site by, among other things, establishing appropriate size, height, and density limits. Under the Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Specific Plan, proposed development could include up to 220,950 square feet and up to 115 hotel guest rooms.
The Project as currently proposed, includes the development of a single 212,034 square-foot2 multiple-use building that would including a luxury hotel with 109 guest rooms, including a penthouse, a private club offering facilities for social and recreational purposes, restaurant and retail uses, and other appurtenant uses related to hotel and club services and functions such as a wellness center and spa. The proposed Specific Plan identifies a total floor area ration (FAR) maximum of 4.2:1 and an above ground maximum of 3.91:1. The total FAR calculation for the submitted conceptual plan is 4.03:1 and the above ground maximum is 3.75:1. The proposed building would vary in height from four stories and a maximum height of 51 feet along North Rodeo Drive, stepping back to a partial ninth-story penthouse with a maximum height of 115 feet along North Beverly Drive. The Project would incorporate modulation of building heights and massing, articulation of building façades at all elevations, and pedestrian-friendly treatments along the public right-of-ways.
The Project would also provide 139 on-site vehicle parking spaces for the proposed used in three subterranean parking levels beneath the hotel building, along with 33 spaces through an in the in lieu parking program as set forth in the proposed Specific Plan. Primary access to the building and parking would be from South Santa Monica Boulevard via a valet motor court. The existing alley that runs north-south and is currently accessed from South Santa Monica Boulevard would be relocated as part of the tentative map process to the southern portion of the Project Site and be accessible from the west side of North Beverly Drive. The Project plans identify approximately 2 Per the Specific Plan, exterior walls, stair shafts, elevators, elevator lobbies less than 100 square feet per cab, parking spaces and access, maintenance equipment/machinery rooms, outdoor dining areas, decks and balconies, and up to 6,000 square feet of storage per below grade level (2,000 square feet per parking level) are not included in the floor area calculations.
-10-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
45,201 square feet of open space, including a publicly accessible 670 square-foot pedestrian plaza at the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive, and outdoor restaurant and bar spaces, and open space areas for private use by hotel guests and club members and would include hotel room balcony/patio areas, hotel pool deck, wellness center outdoor area, and penthouse pool deck.
The existing conditions on the Project Site were used as a baseline for the Final EIR analysis. The Project Site is currently improved with commercial and institutional uses comprising approximately 56,787 square feet. Specifically, 456 North Rodeo Drive is development with a two-story, 6,895-square-foot commercial structure and nine surface parking space; 468 North Rodeo Drive is currently developed with a two-story, 20,265-square-foot commercial structure and six surface parking spaces; 461-465 North Beverly Drive is currently developed with a twostory, 23,351-square-foot institutional use and five surface and 45 underground parking spaces; and 449, 451 and 453 North Beverly Drive is developed with a one-story, 6,276-square-foot commercial structure. These existing commercial and institutional uses in total comprise approximately 56,787 square feet of floor area and would be removed to allow for development of the Project. In addition the portion of the public alleyway bisecting the site would be relocated to the southern portion of the Project Site as described above. The Project could result in an overall net floor area increase of up to 164,163 square feet at the Project Site under the Specific Plan maximums. The submitted conceptual plan identifies an increase of approximately 155,247 square feet of floor area over existing conditions.
IV. Effects Determined to be No Impact/Less Than Significant Without Mitigation in the Initial Study/Notice of Preparation
The City conducted an Initial Study to determine potential effects of the Proposed Project. In the course of this evaluation, certain impacts of the Project were found to be less than significant due to the inability of the Project to create such impact or the absence of project characteristics producing effects of this type. The following effects were determined to not be significant on a Project basis or cumulatively for the reasons set forth in the Initial Study and were not analyzed in the Final EIR.
A. AESTHETICS
1. As detailed in the Initial Study, current CEQA law states that “[a]esthetic and parking impacts of a residential, mixed-use residential, or employment center project on an infill site within a transit priority area shall not be considered significant impacts on the environment.” PRC Section 21099(d). The Project is subject to PRC Section 21099(d) because the Project is an employment center project that would located on an infill site within a transit priority area. The Project is considered an employment center, as that term is defined, because it is located on property that is zoned for commercial uses with a floor area ratio greater than
0.75. The Project site is located on an infill site, as that term is defined, because the Project Site consists of lots located within an urban area that have been previously developed. The Project Site is also located in a transit priority area, as that term is defined, because it is located within approximately 0.5 miles of several Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) bust routes, including Bus Routes
-11-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
4,16,17,704, and Rapid 720, with a service interval of 15 minutes or less during peak hours. The Metro D (formerly Purple) Line is currently under construction and includes a station at Wilshire/Rodeo approximately than 0.3 mile from the Project Site. Therefore, in accordance with PRC Section 21099(d)(1), the Project’s aesthetic impacts shall not be considered significant impacts on the environment and do not have to be evaluated under CEQA. For informational purposes only, the Initial Study discussed aesthetics.
2. The Project will not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, thus there is no impact.
3. The Project will not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway, thus there is no impact.
4. The Project will not conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality, thus there is no impact.
5. The Project will not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area, or create any significant shade or shadow impacts.
6. No cumulative effects are identified for Aesthetics and the Project will have no significant impacts for this category.
B. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES
1. The Project will not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) to non-agricultural use as the Project Site and surrounding area developed urban areas and are not mapped as Farmland, thus there is no impact.
2. The Project will not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract because there is no agricultural zoning or use in the area and the Project Site is not subject to any Williamson Act contracts, thus there is no impact.
3. The Project will not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production, thus there is no impact.
4. Development of the Project will not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest uses, thus there is no impact.
5. The Project does not involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, that could result in conversion of Farmland to nonagricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest land, thus there is no impact.
-12-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
6. No cumulative effects are identified for Agricultural and Forestry Resources and the Project was determined to have no impact for this category.
C. AIR QUALITY
1. The Project will not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people, thus there is no significant impact.
D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
1. The Initial Study fully evaluated the Project’s potential impacts to biological resources and determined all such impacts would be less than significant or there would be no impact. In response to a comment letter received from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, potential impacts to bat species were further evaluated in the Final EIR and are discussed in Sections V. B. and VI. A. below.
2. The Project will not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, thus there is no significant impact, however, refer to specific discussion of bat species in Section V. B. and VI. A. below.

-21-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
(a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate construction-related impacts to bat and roosts to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measure BIO-MM-1: At least 30 days prior to construction, surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist, on all roosting habitat adjacent to the construction area, to identify the presence of bats and any active or potential bat-roosting cavities. During the non-breeding and active season (typically October), bats shall be safely evicted from these areas, if feasible, under the direction of a qualified biologist. Pre-construction bat surveys of the palm tree crowns from a man-lift shall be conducted by a qualified bat specialist immediately prior to tree removal within the Biological Study Area, to determine whether or not there are bats within the construction area. If the presence or absence of bats cannot be confirmed in potential roosting habitat, a biological monitor shall be on-site during tree and building removal. If bats are disturbed during tree or building removal, work shall be safely suspended until all bats leave the vicinity on their own. Work shall resume only once it has been determined that all bats have left the site, as determined by the qualified biologist. In the event a maternal colony of bats is found, no work shall be conducted within 100 feet of the maternal roosting site until the maternal season (April 1– September 15) is over or the bats have left the site, or as otherwise determined by a qualified biologist. The site shall be designated as a sensitive area and protected as such until the bats have left the site. No clearing and grubbing shall be authorized adjacent to the roosting site. Combustion equipment, such as generators, pumps, and vehicles, shall not be parked nor operated within 100 feet of the roosting site. Fencing or other barriers shall be installed around the buffer area, and construction personnel shall not be authorized to enter areas beneath the colony, especially during the evening exodus. All qualified biologists shall be retained by the Applicant and proof of such retention shall be submitted to the City prior to the commencement of construction and prior to conducting any of the above described activities.
Mitigation Measure BIO-MM-2: If bats or any active bat-roosting cavities are found to be present on-site or in the adjacent street trees, construction activities shall be conducted during daylight hours, and no construction work shall be conducted at night until all bats leave the vicinity on their own. Once all bats have left the vicinity on their own, as determined by a qualified biologist, construction activities during nighttime hours may resume, consistent with all other applicable requirements.
Mitigation Measure BIO-MM-3: Tree removal activities associated with the Project are required to be conducted outside of the nesting season (February 1–August 31), to the extent feasible. Should vegetation removal activities occur during the nesting season, a biological monitor would be present during the removal activities to ensure that no active nests would be impacted. If active nests are found, a buffer would be established until the fledglings have left the nest.3
3 BIO-MM-3 is included as a mitigation measure to ensure compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code. Conditions of approval were identified in the
-22-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
(b) Findings of Fact
The Initial Study determined that bats were unlikely to inhabit the fifteen (15) street trees surrounding the Project Site. However, based on a letter from CDFW and the bat habitat assessment that followed, it was determined that the street trees, which are palm trees, appear to provide marginal bat roosting habitat. The habitat is marginal because the palm trees are periodically maintained and are well trimmed and bats prefer trees that are overgrown and provide better shelter and cover from predators. There is no other suitable bat habitat in the buildings on the Project Site or within a sixty (60) foot buffer. The fifteen (15) palm trees surrounding the Project Site will be removed during Project construction and replaced with a 1:1 ratio. The Project will also add seven (7) trees onsite. Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-1, BIO-MM-2, and BIO-MM3 are designed to address any potential impacts to bats and roosting areas by requiring preconstruction surveys, establishing procedures if bats or active roosting cavities are located, and sets the timing of tree removal activities. BIO-MM-3 also memorialize requirements of the MTBA as applicable to the Project.
Therefore, because the palm trees to be removed along the street surrounding the Project Site appear to provide marginal habitat, impacts to bats and roosts during construction would be potentially significant but Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-1, BIO-MM-2, and BIO-MM-3 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
2. Interference with Movement of Species
(a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate construction-related impacts to bat movement to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-1 (see above)
Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-2 (see above)
Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-3 (see above)
(b) Findings of Fact
As discussed above, based on the results of the bat habitat assessment and survey, there is marginal roosting habitat for bats in the fifteen (15) street trees lining the sidewalks of the Project Site and no suitable habitat in the buildings within the Project Site or within a sixty (60) foot buffer.
Therefore, because the palm trees to be removed along the street surrounding the Project Site appear to provide marginal habitat, impacts to bat movement during construction would be potentially significant but Mitigation Measures BIO-MM-1, BIO-MM-2, and BIO-MM-3 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level. BIO-MM-3 also memorialize requirements of the MTBA as applicable to the Project.
Initial Study to ensure compliance with these regulatory requirements, however, to further ensure compliance the requirements are incorporated as mitigation.

B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
B. CULTURAL RESOURCES
1. Substantial Adverse change to archaeological resource (a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate impacts to the significance of archeological resources to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measure CUL-MM-1: A qualified archaeologist shall be retained to perform periodic inspections of excavation and grading activities at the Project Site. The frequency of inspections shall be based on consultation with the archaeologist and the City and shall depend on the rate of excavation and grading activities and the materials being excavated.
If archaeological materials are encountered, the archaeologist shall temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities within 100-feet of the exposed material to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage. The archaeologist shall then assess the discovered material(s) and prepare a survey, study or report evaluating the impact. The Applicant shall then comply with the recommendations of the evaluating archaeologist, and a copy of the archaeological survey report shall be submitted to the City Planning Division. Ground-disturbing activities may resume once the archaeologist’s recommendations have been implemented to the satisfaction of the archaeologist.
Mitigation Measure CUL-MM-2: Retain a Qualified Principal Investigator. A qualified principal investigator, defined as an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for professional archaeology and has a minimum of 10 years of experience as a principal investigator working with Native American archaeological sites in southern California, shall be retained by the Applicant or their successor to carry out all mitigation measures related to archaeological and historical resources (hereafter qualified archaeologist). The qualified archaeologist shall be contacted in the event of an inadvertent archaeological discovery. Following completion of construction, the qualified archaeologist shall provide an archaeological monitoring report to the City and SCCIC with the results of the cultural monitoring program.
(b) Findings of Fact
The results of the records search conducted for the Project Site indicated that no archaeological resources have been found within the Project Site or within 0.5-mile of the Project Site. The Project is also located within an urbanized area of the City of Beverly Hills and has been subjected to grading and development in the past, as the entire Project Site has been developed previously.
There is also no record of the discovery of archaeological resources on the Project Site. Therefore any surficial archaeological resources that may have existed at one time have likely been previously disturbed. However, it is possible that unknown and unanticipated intact archaeological deposits and/or features could be present at subsurface levels. Excavations on the Project Site will extend to a depth approximately 44 feet below the ground surface. Mitigation Measures CULMM-1 and CUL-MM-2 are designed to address are designed to address impacts of the excavation activity and the potential for discovery of archaeological resources. Mitigation Measure CULMM-1 requires retention of a qualified archaeologist to perform periodic inspections of grading
-24-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
and excavation activities and the procedures should and archaeological resources be identified.
Mitigation Measure CUL-MM-2 requires retention of a qualified principal investigator to be contacted in the event of an inadvertent archaeological discovery.
Project excavations could potentially encounter unknown and unanticipated archaeological resources. Thus impacts to archaeological resources during excavation would be potentially significant but Mitigation Measures CUL-MM-1 and CUL-MM-2 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
C. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
1. Destruction of unique paleontological resources, site or unique geologic feature (a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate potential constructionrelated impacts to paleontological resources to a less than significant level:
GEO-MM-1: A Qualified Paleontologist meeting the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) Standards (SVP, 2010) (Qualified Paleontologist) shall be retained prior to the approval of demolition or grading permits. The Qualified Paleontologist shall provide technical and compliance oversight of all work as it relates to paleontological resources and shall be responsible for monitoring and overseeing paleontological monitors (meeting SVP standards) that will observe Project grading and excavation activities.
GEO-MM-2: The Qualified Paleontologist shall have the authority to temporarily halt or divert work away from exposed fossils or potential fossils in the event such paleontological resources are encountered at the Project Site during construction or the course of any ground disturbance activities. If paleontological resources are encountered, the Applicant shall notify the City and consult with the Qualified Paleontologist to assess the significance of the find. The assessment shall be prepared in accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards. If any find is determined to be significant, appropriate avoidance measures recommended by the consultant and approved by the City shall be followed unless avoidance is determined to be unnecessary or infeasible by the City. If avoidance is determined to be unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery, excavation) shall be instituted.
GEO-MM-3: Any significant fossils collected during Project-related excavations shall be prepared to the point of identification and curated into an accredited repository with retrievable storage. The Qualified Paleontologist shall prepare a final monitoring and mitigation report for submittal to the City in order to document the results of the monitoring effort and any discoveries. If there are significant discoveries, fossil locality information and final disposition will be included with the final report which will be submitted to the appropriate repository and the City.
(b) Findings of Fact
-25-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
The records search conducted for the Project Site indicated that no paleontological resources have been previously recorded at the Project Site but that potentially fossil-bearing units are present in the project area, either at the surface or subsurface, though no fossil localities lie directly within the Project Site. Construction of the Project will result in excavation to a maximum depth of approximately 44 feet at the Project Site. Therefore the possibility exists that paleontological artifacts that were not recovered during prior construction and other human activity on the Project Site may be inadvertently encountered during construction. Mitigation Measures GEO-MM-1, GEO-MM-2, and GEO-MM-3 are designed to address any such impacts. Mitigation Measures GEO-MM-1 requires a retention of a qualified paleontologist to provide technical and compliance oversite and observation during grading activities. Mitigation Measure GEO-MM-2 gives the qualified paleontologist authority to stop or divert work away from any paleontological resource encountered and the procedures to follow if resources are found. Mitigation Measure GEO-MM3 specifies how significant fossils collected during Project-related excavations will be prepared.
Thus impacts to paleontological resources during excavation would be potentially significant but Mitigation Measures GEO-MM-1, GEO-MM-2, and GEO-MM-3 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
D. NOISE
1. Generation of excessive ground borne vibration or noise (a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate impacts from ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels during on-site construction to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measure NOI-MM-1: Prior to start of construction, the Applicant shall retain the services of a structural engineer to visit the two off-site buildings adjacent to the Project Site to the south to inspect and document (video and/or photographic) the apparent physical condition of the buildings. In addition, the structural engineer shall establish baseline structural conditions of the buildings and prepare a shoring design.
Prior to construction, the Applicant shall retain the services of a qualified acoustical engineer to review proposed construction equipment and develop and implement a vibration monitoring program capable of recording and documenting the constructionrelated ground vibration levels at the two off-site buildings during demolition, shoring and excavation phase, as follows:
The vibration monitoring system shall measure (in vertical and horizontal directions) and continuously store the peak particle velocity (PPV) in inch/second. The system shall also be programmed for two preset velocity levels: a warning level of 0.4 inch/second (PPV) and a regulatory level of 0.5 inch/second (PPV). The system shall also provide real-time alert when the vibration levels exceed the two preset levels.
The vibration monitoring program shall be submitted to the Community Development Department, prior to initiating any construction activities.
-26-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
In the event the warning level 0.4 inch/second (PPV) is triggered, the contractor shall identify the source of vibration generation and provide feasible steps to reduce the vibration level, including but not limited to staggering concurrent activities (if doing so would not pose a safety risk to personnel or damage risk to buildings) and utilizing lower vibratory techniques. The additional measures shall be submitted to the Building Official for review and approval.
In the event the regulatory level 0.5 inch/second (PPV) is triggered, the contractor shall halt the construction activities in the vicinity of the building and visually inspect the building for any damage. Results of the inspection must be logged. The contractor shall identify the source of vibration generation and provide feasible steps to reduce the vibration level. Construction activities may then restart once the vibration level is re-measured and below the warning level. The additional measures shall be submitted to the Building Office for review and approval.
(b) Findings of Fact
The Project will generate ground-borne construction vibration during building demolition and site excavation/grading activities when heavy construction equipment, such as large bulldozers, drill rigs, and loaded trucks will be used. The estimated vibration levels at the multi-story commercial buildings immediately abutting the Project Site to the south would exceed the 0.5-PPV significance threshold. Mitigation Measure NOI-MM-1 is designed to address potential impacts from ground borne vibration during construction. Mitigation Measure NOI-MM-1 requires the applicant to retain the services of a structural engineer and an acoustical engineer, implement a vibration monitoring program, and dictates procedures if vibration generation reaches certain levels.
Ground borne vibration impacts associated with potential building damage would be potentially significant, however, Mitigation Measure NOI-MM-1 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

x Schedule vehicle movements to ensure that there are no vehicles waiting off-site and impeding public traffic flow on the surrounding streets. x Establish requirements for loading/unloading and storage of materials on the Project Site, where parking spaces would be encumbered, length of time traffic travel lanes can be encumbered, sidewalk closings or pedestrian diversions to ensure the safety of the pedestrian and access to local businesses. x Coordinate with adjacent businesses and emergency service providers to ensure adequate access exists to the Project Site and neighboring businesses.
Mitigation Measure TRA-MM-2: A Construction Workers Parking Plan identifying parking locations for construction workers shall be submitted to the City prior to the commencement of construction activities. To the maximum extent feasible, all worker parking shall be accommodated on the Project Site. During phases when construction worker parking cannot be accommodated on the Project Site, the Construction Workers Parking Plan shall identify alternate parking locations for construction workers and the method of transportation to and from the Project Site for approval by the City 30 days prior to commencement of construction. The Construction Workers Parking Plan must include appropriate measures to ensure that the parking location requirements for construction workers would be strictly enforced. These include but are not limited to the following measures:
x Provide all construction contractors with written information on where their workers and their subcontractors are permitted to park and provide clear consequences to violators for failure to follow these regulations. This information would clearly state that no parking is permitted on residential streets north of Wilshire Boulevard or in public parking structures.
x No construction worker parking shall be permitted within 500 feet of the nearest point of the Project Site except within designated areas. The contractor shall be responsible for informing subcontractors and construction workers of this requirement, and if necessary, for hiring a security guard to enforce these parking provisions. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with enforcement of this mitigation measure.
-28-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
x In lieu of the above, the Project developer/construction contractor has the option of phasing demolition and construction activities such that all construction worker parking can be accommodated on the Project Site throughout the entire duration of demolition and construction activities.
Mitigation Measure TRA-MM-3: The developer for the Project shall coordinate with the City of Beverly Hills regarding the following:
x All temporary roadway closures shall be coordinated to limit overlap of roadway closures.
x All major deliveries shall be coordinated to limit the occurrence of simultaneous deliveries to the Project and other major construction projects. The Project applicant shall ensure that deliveries of items such as concrete and other highvolume items shall be reported to the City’s major delivery schedule and reporting shall be incorporated as a requirement into the Construction Traffic Management Plan to ensure that simultaneous deliveries are avoided when feasible. x The Project applicant shall coordinate with the City regarding the loading and unloading of delivery vehicles. Any off-site staging areas for delivery vehicles shall be consolidated and shared with the other major construction projects where feasible.
x The Project applicant or their representative shall meet on a regular basis during construction with the City to address any outstanding issues related to construction traffic, deliveries, and worker parking.
x If construction on other major projects in the vicinity is occurring simultaneously with this Project, the City can require as part of the Construction Traffic Management Plan that the applicant meet with other applicants and the City to address construction traffic, deliveries, and worker parking. (b) Findings of Fact
During construction of the Project, hauling activity is expected to occur between the Project Site and off-site staging and/or logistics areas through haul routes that include some of the most congested roadways in the City. During Project site excavation, approximately 60 trucks per day will access the Project Site in a 21 week period. While there are designated routes for haul trucks, there is no guarantee that such routes will be adhered to. Traffic to the Project Site will also occur from the transportation of materials and equipment to the Project Site such as concreate, plumbing materials and heavy construction equipment. Trucks used for such deliveries will vary from small trucks, cement mixer trucks to 18-wheelers and may need to park temporarily on adjacent roadways. There also may be intermittent periods where large numbers of materials need to be delivered. Additional traffic will be generated by transportation of construction workers to and from the Project Site. The maximum number of workers per day is 500 and the number of worker trips per day is estimated to be 800 daily trips with 200 peak hour trips. Workers will also utilize
-29-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
a combination of public long-term and private parking facilities near the Project Site or, once the parking garage is sufficiently constructed, parking will occur on the Project Site.
Mitigation Measures TRA-MM-1, TRA-MM-2, and TRA-MM-3 are designed to address potential impacts from construction-related transportation described above. Mitigation Measure TRA-MM1 requires a Construction Traffic Management Plan to, among other thing, coordinate deliveries and pick-ups, minimize traffic lane obstruction, schedule vehicle movements, establish requirements for loading and unloading materials, and coordinate with adjacent property owners.
Mitigation Measure TRA-MM-2 requires a Construction Workers Parking Plan to identify parking locations for workers and establish measures to ensure strict enforcement of worker parking location requirements. Mitigation Measure TRA-MM-3 requires the developer of the Project to coordinate with the City on temporary roadway closures, major deliveries, delivery vehicle loading and unloading, other nearby construction projects.
Potential construction-related transportation impacts could result during construction of the Project associated with haul truck traffic, the delivery and staging of construction materials and equipment, construction worker traffic, and construction worker parking. Therefore construction activities associated with the Project may potentially conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system and impacts would be significant. However, Mitigation Measures TRA-MM-1, TRA-MM-2, and TRA-MM-3 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
F. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
1. Adverse changes to Tribal Cultural Resources
(a) Findings
The following Mitigation Measures imposed upon the Project mitigate construction-related impacts to tribal cultural resources to a less than significant level:
Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-1: Preconstruction Worker Training. At the Project kickoff and before construction activities begin, the qualified archaeologist or their designee shall provide training to construction personnel on information regarding regulatory requirements for the protection of cultural resources including tribal cultural resources. As part of this training, construction personnel will be briefed on proper procedures to follow should unanticipated cultural resources discoveries be made during construction. Workers will be provided contact information and protocols to follow in the event that inadvertent discoveries are made. If necessary, the qualified archaeologist can create a training video, PowerPoint presentation, or printed literature that can be shown to new workers and contractors to avoid continuous training throughout the course of the Project.
Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-2: Retain Native American Monitoring. Native American monitoring shall be retained by the Applicant or their successor and conducted by a representative of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation, hereafter referred to as the “Monitoring Tribe”. Monitoring shall occur during all Project-related, initial ground-disturbing construction activities (i.e., grubbing, pavement removal, tree removal,
-30-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
boring, grading, excavation, potholing, drilling and trenching etc.). The tribal monitor shall complete daily monitoring logs that shall provide descriptions of the day’s activities, including construction activities, locations, soil and any cultural materials identified. Once excavation is completed for a portion of the Project Site and entered into the daily monitoring log, the monitoring of an area shall be considered complete. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities at the Project Site are completed, or when the representatives of the Monitoring Tribe has indicated that all upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the Project Site have little to no potential for impacting Tribal Cultural Resources of their Tribe. Should the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians— Kizh Nation not have sufficient qualified staff, or not provide monitoring services at market rates, after consultation between the Tribe and the City’s Director of Community Development, the Applicant may contract with a different firm to provide a Native American monitor, subject to approval by the City of Beverly Hills Director of Community Development and reasonable and timely concurrence of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation. Native American and Archaeological monitoring during construction projects will be consistent with current professional standards. All feasible care to avoid any unnecessary disturbance, physical modification, or separation of Tribal Cultural Resources shall be taken.
Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-3: Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources.
In the event a Native American monitor identifies cultural or archaeological resources, the monitor shall be given the authority to temporarily halt construction in the immediate vicinity and within 50 feet of the discovery and to contact the qualified archaeologist to investigate the find and determine if it is a Tribal Cultural Resource under CEQA by the City of Beverly Hills in consultation with the ancestrally related tribe(s) and qualified archaeologist. Construction activities can continue in areas 50 feet away from the find and not associated with the cultural resource location. In the event of a find during ground disturbing activities, the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians- Kizh Nation shall be notified by the City and will retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes. A Cultural Resources Monitoring and Mitigation Plan shall be developed to outline monitor procedures.
Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-4: Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains. In the event that human remains are encountered at the Project Site, all work within 100 feet of the burial must cease, and any necessary steps to ensure the integrity of the immediate area shall be taken, including the placement of an exclusion zone around the discovery location.
The Los Angeles County Coroner will be immediately notified. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per PRC section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). In ancient as well as historic times, Tribal Traditions included, but were not limited to, the preparation of the soil for burial, the burial of funerary objects with the deceased, and the ceremonial burning of human remains. The prepared soil and cremation soils are to be treated in the same manner as bone fragments that remain intact. Associated funerary objects are objects that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed with individual human remains either at the time of death or later; other items made exclusively for burial purposes or to contain human remains can also be considered as associated funerary objects. The Coroner must then determine whether the remains are Native American. Should the Coroner determine the remains are Native American, the
-31-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), who shall in turn, notify the person they identify as the most likely descendent (MLD). Further actions shall be determined in part by the recommendations of the MLD. The MLD has 48 hours of being granted access to the Project Site to complete their inspection and make recommendations or express preferences for treatment of the remains. If the MLD does not make recommendations within 48 hours, the owner shall, with appropriate dignity, reinter the remains in an area of the property secure from further disturbance. Alternatively, if the owner does not accept the MLD’s recommendations, the owner or the descendent may request mediation by the NAHC. Procedures of conduct following the discovery of human remains have been mandated by Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, PRC Section 5097.98, and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e) (CEQA).
Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-5: Reburial Treatment Measures. Prior to the continuation of ground disturbing activities where human remains and/or ceremonial objects have been identified, the Developer shall arrange a designated site location within the footprint of the Project for the respectful reburial of the human remains and/or ceremonial objects. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. In the case where discovered human remains cannot be fully documented and recovered on the same day, the remains shall be covered with muslin cloth and a steel plate that can only be moved by heavy equipment shall be placed over the excavation opening to protect the remains. If this type of steel plate is not available, a 24-hour guard shall be posted outside of working hours. If feasible, the Project shall be diverted to keep the remains in situ and protected. If the Project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will be removed. The MLD shall work with the qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation is treated carefully, ethically, and respectfully.
If data recovery is approved by the MLD, documentation shall be taken which includes at a minimum detailed descriptive notes and sketches. Additional types of documentation shall be approved by the MLD for data recovery purposes. Cremations shall either be removed in bulk or by means as necessary to ensure complete recovery of all material. If the discovery of human remains includes four or more burials, the location is considered a cemetery and a separate treatment plan shall be created. Once complete, a final report of all activities is to be submitted to the MLD and NAHC. The MLD does not authorize any scientific study or utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains. Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects shall be stored using opaque cloth bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony shall be removed to a secure container on site if possible.
These items should be retained and reburied within six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be, to the extent feasible, on the Project Site but at a location agreed upon between the MLD and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity.
There shall be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered. (b) Findings of Fact
The estimated depth of excavation for the subterranean parking and building foundations would be approximately 44 feet below grade and result in export of approximately 124,920 cubic yards
-32-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
of soil during the excavation phase of construction. The Project Site has been previously excavated to install building foundations and, in one area, construct one level of underground parking which disturbed native subsoils with the potential to support the presence of cultural deposits. No prehistoric, archaeological sites or other resources documented to be related to Native American activity have been previously recorded within the Project Site according to the record searches performed. No known or suspected tribal cultural resources have been identified that could be impacted by the Project. But, due to the depth of excavation for the Project, the Project could potentially uncover undiscovered significant tribal cultural resources. The Project Site is also located in the ancestral tribal territory of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians--Kizh Nation and the tribe considers this area, including the Project Site to be highly sensitive to tribal cultural resources. The City engaged in consultation with the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians--Kizh Nation. The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians--Kizh Nation requested certain mitigation language be included. Mitigation Measures MM-TCR-1, MM-TCR-2, MM-TCR-3, MM-TCR-4, and MM-TCR-5 are designed to address potential impacts to Tribal Cultural Resources to less than significant levels and incorporate recommended mitigation language from the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians--Kizh Nation. Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-1 requires preconstruction working training regarding regulatory requirements for protection of cultural resources and tribal cultural resources in the event of an unanticipated discovery. Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-2 requires retention of a representative of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians--Kizh Nation (or other professional if such a representative is not available) to monitor all initial ground disturbing activities. Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-3 sets forth procedures in the event of an unanticipated discovery of a tribal cultural resource. Mitigation Measure MM-TCR-4 sets forth the procedures in the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains. And Mitigation Measure MM-TCR5 sets forth the procedures for reburial of human remains or ceremonial object should such remains or objects be encountered.
The Project could potentially cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource listed or eligible for listing in the California Register or a local register or a resources determined by the City to be significant pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. However, Mitigation Measures MM-TCR-1, MM-TCR-2, MM-TCR-3, MM-TCR-4, and MM-TCR-5 will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
VII. No Environmental Impacts Determined to be Significant and Unavoidable in the EIR The Final EIR determined that the Project will not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts. All potentially significant impacts will be adequately addressed with mitigation as discussed above.
VIII. Irreversible Environmental Changes, Growth Inducement, and Other CEQA Considerations
Section 6 of the Final EIR describes irreversible environmental changes, growth-inducing impacts and other CEQA considerations.
A. Irreversible Environmental Changes
-33-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Project construction and operation would require the irretrievable commitment of limited, slowly renewable, and non-renewable resources including building materials and associated solid waste disposal effects on landfills, water, and energy resources. Commitment of these resources will limit the availability of these resources and the Project Site for future generations or for other uses.
However, the consumption of such resources would not be considered substantial and would be consistent with regional and local growth forecasts and development goals for the area. The Project will reduce the consumption of non-renewable building materials in accordance with applicable regulations so as to not result in the inefficient or wasteful use of building materials and minimize solid waste generation. Although the Project will result in an increase in long-term water demand for consumption, operational uses, maintenance and other activities, the Project would not utilize water in an inefficient or wasteful manner or result in a significant impact related to water supply. The City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan forecasts adequate water supplies to meet all projected water demands in the City for normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years through 2045. The Project is also well within SCAG’s growth projections for the City. The Project will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy as the Project would comply with all applicable conservation requirements, including the CalGreen Code, incorporate sustainability features to achieve a LEED Gold certification, utilize energy efficient lighting, and promote use of alternative transit to the Project site. The Project will use the types and amounts of hazardous materials that are typical for use during construction and operation of similar uses.
Finally the Project, as an infill project, will not open up new areas to development.
The loss of these resources would not be highly accelerated when compared to existing conditions and such resources would not be used in a wasteful manner. Therefore, although irreversible environmental changes would result, such changes would be less than significant. Considering that the Project would consume an inconsequential amount of natural resources and would replace an existing urban use on a redevelopment site, the limited use of nonrenewable resources is justified.
B. Growth-Inducing Impacts
Section 15126.2(e) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that growth-inducing impacts of a project be considered in a Draft EIR. Growth-inducing impacts are characteristics of a project that could directly or indirectly foster economic or population growth or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Growth can be induced by:
(1) direct growth associated with a project; and (2) indirect growth created by demand not satisfied by a project or the creation of surplus infrastructure not utilized by a project.
Because the Project would not include the construction of new housing that would generate a new population, it would not result in direct population growth. The Project is expected to result in varying types of indirect growth associated with employment during construction and operation.
Employment opportunities during construction would be temporary in nature and highly specialized, therefore workers are not anticipate to relocate their households as a direct consequence of the Project. The Project would not be considered growth-inducing from a short-term employment perspective, but rather the Project would provide a public benefit by providing new temporary employment opportunities during the construction period. Operation of the Project would generate new employment opportunities. Some of these jobs are anticipated to
-34-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
be filled by persons already residing in the area; others will be filled by persons moving into the surrounding area. The Project would not directly contribute to population growth in the Project area and as some of the employment opportunities generated by the Project would be filled by people already residing in the vicinity of the Project Site and the potential growth associated with Project employees who may relocate their place of residence would not be substantial. As such, the Project would not result in a notable increase in demand for new housing, and any new demand, should it occur, would be minor in the context of forecasted growth for the City.
The Project would not remove impediments to growth as the area surrounding the Project Site is already developed with a mix of retail uses and restaurants. The Project may require local infrastructure upgrades but such upgrades would not necessitate regional utility infrastructure improvements that have not already been accounted for and planned on a regional level. The Project would not require the extension of roads to un-served areas, expansion of water or wastewater treatment plants, or new development to address the Project’s scale of commercial demand. Overall, the Project would be consistent with the growth forecast for the SCAG Region and the City and would be consistent with regional policies to reduce urban sprawl, efficiently utilize existing infrastructure, reduce regional congestion, and improve air quality through the reduction of vehicle miles traveled by siting development within proximity to public transit options. Therefore, growth-inducing impacts would be less than significant.
C. Potential Secondary Effects of Mitigation Measures
Section 15126.4(a)(1)(D) of the CEQA Guidelines states that “if a mitigation measure would cause one or more significant effects in addition to those that would be caused by the project as proposed, the effects of the mitigation measure shall be discussed but in less detail than the significant effects of the project as proposed.” The potential impacts that could result with the implementation of each mitigation measure were analyzed in Section 6.0.4 of the Final EIR. The City determined that implementation of the proposed mitigation measures would not result in significant adverse secondary impacts.
D. Mandatory Findings of Significance
As analyzed in detail in the Final EIR, impacts to bats (biological resources), archaeological resources, paleontological resources, and tribal cultural resources, and impacts associated with vibration (noise) and transportation during construction were determined to be potentially significant without mitigation. However, with the implementation, potential impacts related to these environmental topics would be reduced to less than significant levels and the Project would not result in any significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.
IX. Project Alternatives
The Final EIR in Section 5 considered a range of alternatives to the Project: Alternative 1 - No Project, Alternative 2 - Reduced Excavation and Reduced Parking, Alternative 3 - Zoning Compliant, Alternative 4 - Reduce Height, Alternative 5 - Reduced Project. The five alternatives analyzed in the Final EIR are discussed below, including the basis for rejecting each alternative.
-35-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
In addition, other alternatives were considered and rejected as infeasible as described in Section
5.0.4 of the Final EIR.
A. ALTERNATIVE 1 - NO PROJECT
1. Summary of Alternative
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines, the No Project Alternative consists of the circumstances under which a proposed project does not proceed and assumes the Project would not be approved and no new development would occur on the site. See CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(3)(B). Under the No Project Alternative the existing physical conditions on the Project Site would generally remain as they are. The Project Site would continue to be developed with the existing commercial and institutional buildings comprising approximately 56,787 square feet and surface and underground parking spaces. The buildings within the Project Site have been occupied by a variety of commercial and institutional tenants over the years and one or more of the existing buildings have been vacant for a period of time over the years. As of the writing of the Final EIR the existing structure at 468 North Rodeo Drive and the existing structure at 449, 451, and 453 North Beverly Drive are vacant. The for purposes of analyzing Alternative 1, the Final EIR assumed all buildings were occupied by uses consistent with historic uses of those buildings and which are permitted by existing zoning, because it is unreasonable to assume that the buildings would remain vacant and unused in the longer term in the absence of the Project.
2. Reasons for Rejecting Alternative
A comparison between impacts identified in the Project and Alternative 1 is detailed in Section
5.1 of the Final EIR, summarized in Table 5.0-4, and summarized below.
Compared to the Project impacts evaluated in the Final EIR, impacts identified for Alternative 1 would be less than the impacts from the Project and have no impact. The exception is that Alternative 1 will have a slightly greater impact with respect to operations-related impacts to Energy. The Project will replace existing older buildings with modern buildings incorporating the latest requirements regarding building energy efficiency, thereby improving the energy efficient of uses within the Project Site.
While the cycle of vacancy and occupancy would continue through the life of the existing structures, the No Project Alternative would not construct new structures or expand existing structures such that site operations would increase. As such, the No Project Alternative would not result in significant impacts with regard to any of the environmental topics evaluated in the Final EIR and, the No Project Alternative would eliminate the Project’s less than significant impacts and less than significant with mitigation impacts. Overall, this alternative’s impacts would be less than those of the Project in each environmental category, except for Energy during operations which will be slightly greater but not significant.
Project Objectives
-36-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
However, this alternative would not meet the Project’s underlying purpose to revitalize the Project Site or fulfill any of the applicant’s stated objectives for the Project. Specifically, Alternative 1 would not meet the following Project objectives:
x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
x Replace existing uses and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
Conclusion
Because Alternative 1 would not meet the Project’s underlying purpose to revitalize the Project Site or meet any of the Project objectives, is an overall inferior alternative that is hereby rejected on those bases.
B. ALTERNATIVE 2 – REDUCED EXCAVATION AND REDUCED PARKING
1. Summary of Alternative
Alternative 2, the Reduced Excavation and Reduced Parking Alternative, would develop the Project Site similar to the Project except Alternative 2 would eliminate the third subterranean parking level proposed as part of the Project. Parking under Alternative 2 would be provided in two subterranean levels with a total of 117 on-site parking spaces (a reduction of 22 on-site parking spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed 139 on-site parking spaces, a reduction of 55 spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed total parking supply of 172 spaces [139 on-site and 33 in lieu parking spaces], and a reduction of 68 parking spaces when compared to the Proposed Project’s proposed 185 parking spaces).
-37-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Overall, like the Project, Alternative 2 would allow for up to 220,950 square feet of floor area with up to 115 hotel guest rooms under the Specific Plan maximum with an above-ground FAR of
3.91:1 and total FAR of 4.2:1. Similar to the Project, the proposed hotel building would vary in height from four stories and a maximum height of 51 feet along North Rodeo Drive to nine stories with a maximum height of 115 feet along North Beverly Drive. The overall design of the building under Alternative 2, including architectural features, lighting and signage, open spaces, and sustainability, would be similar to that of the Project. Alternative 2 would also feature similar vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle access as the Project. The alley way would be removed and relocated from the southern portion of the Project Site and the new access point to the alley would be from the west side of North Beverly Drive. Alternative 2 would require the same discretionary entitlements as the Project.
Construction of Alternative 2 would also occur in phases, similar to the Project. However, Alternative 2 would result in in a reduction in excavation and export comparted to the Project. Due to the elimination of the third subterranean parking level, excavation for the two proposed subterranean levels under Alternative 2 would extend to a depth of approximately 35 feet (a reduction of nine feet when compared to the Project’s proposed 44 feet of excavation).
Consequently, soil export for Alternative 2 would be reduced as compared to the Project, and would include 99,369 cubic yards of exported soil (a reduction of 25,551 cubic yards when compared to the Project’s proposed 124,920 cubic yards of exported soil).
2. Reasons for Rejecting Alternative
A comparison between impacts identified in the Project and Alternative 2 is detailed Section 5.2 and summarized in Table 5.0-4 of the Final EIR, and summarized below.
Impacts identified for Alternative 2 in the following categories would remain generally the same as for the Project: Air Quality (operation), Biological Resources, Cultural Resources (historical resources), Energy (operation, conflict with plans), Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise, Transportation, Utilities and Service Systems (operation).
Impacts identified for Alternative 2 in the following categories would be decreased when compared to the Project but the less than significant determination would remain the same: Air Quality (construction), Cultural Resources (archeological resources), Energy (construction), Geology and Soils (paleontological resources), Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems (construction).
Impacts related to the following category would be increased when compared to the Project but the less than significant determination would remain the same: Land Use and Planning. The Land Use and Planning impact is increased under Alternative 2 because the 117 parking spaces provided would not meet the projected peak demand of the proposed uses. However pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21099(d)(1), a project’s parking impacts shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment if the project is an employment center project or located on an infill site within a transit priority, which would be the case for the Project and Alternative 2.
-38-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Therefore, while this conflict regarding the number of parking spaces provided in and of itself would not result in a significant land use impact, impacts related to conflicts with land use plans under Alternative 2 would be greater than the less-than-significant impacts of the Project; however, such impacts would continue to be less than significant under Alternative 2.
Project Objectives
Alternative 2 would meet the underlying purpose of the Project to the same extent as the Project by providing the same high quality hotel development as the Project. In addition, Alternative 2 would achieve the Project objectives, specifically the following:
x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
x Replace existing uses and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
Conclusion
While Alternative 2 would meet the Project objectives and generally reduce construction activities due to the elimination of one level of subterranean parking proposed by the Project, it would not eliminate any of the Project’s impacts which are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation, and would result in greater Land Use and Planning impacts. Overall, impacts under Alternative 2 would be similar to, or less than, those of the Project, but would be more impactful for Land Use and Planning. Alternative 2 also would result in incrementally greater environmental impacts, and thus is an overall inferior alternative that is hereby rejected on those bases.
C. ALTERNATIVE 3 – ZONING COMPLIANT
-39-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
1. Summary of Alternative
Alternative 3, the Zoning Compliant Alternative, would develop the Project Site consistent with the Project Site’s current zoning of C-3 (Commercial) and the General Plan’s land use designation for Low Density Commercial uses. The General Plan provides that the Project Site may be used for general commercial uses, including hotels and ancillary uses. Additionally, the Low Density Commercial designation limits development at the Project Site to a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) density of 2.0:1 and a height of 45 feet. Accordingly, Alternative 3 would include the development of a 36-room hotel (compared to the Project’s 115 guest rooms) with ground floor and second floor retail on North Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard. Overall, Alternative 3 would provide 105,214 square feet of floor area with a FAR of 2.0:1, compared to the 220,950 square feet of floor area and 3.91:1 above-ground FAR and 4.2:1 total FAR as proposed by the Project (a reduction of 115,735 square feet of floor area). Alternative 3 would consist of three stories with a maximum height of 45 feet (a reduction in height ranging from 6 feet from the Project’s 51 foot height along North Rodeo Drive, up to 70 feet in height from the Project’s maximum height of 115 feet along North Beverly Drive) and feature blocky massing without significant modulation or articulation. Alternative 3 would also eliminate the second and third subterranean levels of parking.
Alternative 3 would not include common and private outdoor space. The open space under Alternative 3 would consist of a rooftop lounge on the third floor. Alternative 3 would have a plain façade without the trellis-like garden porte cochere of the Project, guest balconies, awnings or greenery, or the pedestrian-friendly ground floor uses along South Santa Monica and North Beverly proposed by the Project. Without ground floor restaurant area and pedestrian oriented improvements, South Santa Monica and North Beverly would be dominated by vehicular uses.
The sidewalk on South Santa Monica Boulevard would not be widened or improved for pedestrian activities as proposed by the Project. Alternative 3 would replace the 15 street trees lining the sidewalks with fewer street trees, due to the increase in curb cuts. The Project’s proposed restaurant, bar, wellness center, spa, club, and penthouse uses would also be eliminated along with all public access to the Project Site except for the ground-floor and second floor retail uses.
Alternative 3 eliminates recessed windows, balconies and overhangs that are incorporated throughout the Project.
Parking would be provided in one subterranean level (a reduction of two subterranean levels when compared to the Project’s three proposed subterranean levels) with a total of 90 on-site parking spaces (a reduction of 49 parking spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed 139 on-site parking spaces, a reduction of 82 spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed total parking supply of 172 spaces [139 on-site and 33 in lieu parking spaces],a reduction of 95 parking spaces when compared to the Proposed Project’s proposed 185 parking spaces). As previously discussed, all public access to the Project Site would be eliminated under Alternative 3 except for the proposed retail uses.
The proposed valet motor court would connect to the existing alley under Alternative 3, which would remain in its current configuration, as compared to the Project’s proposed relocation of the alley. Employee and valet driven vehicles would enter Alternative 3’s subterranean parking from the valet motor court on North Beverly Drive. Employees and small delivery vans would also enter and exit the subterranean parking level through the valet motor court; full size delivery vans and trucks would use surface level loading areas located near the alley.

Because Alternative 3 would reduce the amount of construction and excavation/export compared to the Project, construction activities and the construction period would be reduced compared to the Project. Due to the elimination of the second and third subterranean levels, the total depth of excavation required for Alternative 3 would be reduced as compared to the Project from 44 feet to a depth of 15 feet (a reduction of 29 feet when compared to the Project). Consequently, soil export for Alternative 3 would be reduced as compared to the Project, and would include 18,435 cubic yards of exported soil (a reduction of 106,485 cubic yards when compared to the Project’s proposed 124,920 cubic yards of soil export).
Alternative 3 would not require a General Plan Amendment; a Zoning Map and Zone Text Amendment; a Specific Plan; or an Amendment to the Master Plan of Streets
2. Reasons for Rejecting Alternative
A comparison between impacts identified in the Project and Alternative 3 is detailed Section 5.3 and Table 5.0-4 of the Final EIR, and summarized below.
Impacts identified for Alternative 3 in the following categories would remain generally the same as for the Project: Biological Resources, Cultural Resources (historical resources), Energy (conflict with plans), Noise (construction, operation vibration), Transportation.
Impacts identified for Alternative 3 in the following categories would be decreased when compared to the Project but the significance determination would remain the same: Air Quality, Cultural Resources (archaeological resources), Energy (construction and operation), Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources), Greenhouse Gas Emission, Land Use and Planning, Noise (operation), Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems.
Project Objectives
Alternative 3 would not meet the underlying purpose of the Project to revitalize the Project Site by developing a high quality hotel development project. Specifically, the number of hotel rooms would be reduced (36 rooms as compared to the Project’s up-to 115 rooms) and all hotel amenities (restaurant, bar, pool, spa, wellness center with gym, members club) would be eliminated, as are the sidewalk improvements. Alternative 3 would therefore not provide a high quality hotel development within the City to serve the region and tourists as well as publicly accessible neighborhood-serving restaurant and bar uses that encourage pedestrian activity in the vicinity of the Project Site. Notwithstanding, Alternative 3 would achieve the following Project objective, albeit to a lesser extent than the Project, due to its limited number of hotel rooms and lack of amenities typically provided as part of a luxury hotel. x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
-41-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
The following objectives are either not met or only partially met by Alternative 3 due to the reduction in the number of hotel rooms; the retention of the alley in its current configuration; the reduction of two subterranean levels of parking; and the elimination of the restaurant uses, hotel amenities, garden porte cochere over the motor court, sidewalk widening and pedestrian improvements and the majority of the outdoor landscaping:
x Replace existing use and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
Conclusion
Alternative 3 would reduce construction and operational activities due to the reduction in development. However, it would not eliminate any of the Project’s impacts, which are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation. Impacts under Alternative 3 would be similar to, or less than, those of the Project. Alternative 3 also does not meet most of the Project objectives.
Alternative 3 also does not meet most of the Project objectives, and thus is an overall inferior alternative that is hereby rejected on those bases.
D. ALTERNATIVE 4 – REDUCED HEIGHT
1. Summary of Alternative
Alternative 4, the Reduced Height Alternative, would develop the Project Site with the same uses, floor area, and parking spaces as proposed by the Project, providing 220,950 square feet of floor area with an above-ground FAR of 3.91:1 and a total FAR of 4.2:1. Construction of Alternative 4 would be similar to the Project. However, Alternative 4 redistributes the massing of the building to reduce the overall height to seven stories, and reorients the Project’s proposed U-shaped building to the south, such that the bulk of its massing would be positioned between the outdoor spaces—where the proposed uses include amplified sound—and the residential neighborhoods to the north.
-42-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
The hotel building under Alternative 4 would consist of seven stories with a maximum height of 89 feet, as compared to the Project which would vary in height from four stories and a maximum height of 51 feet along North Rodeo Drive (an increase of 48 feet) to nine stories with a maximum height of 115 feet along North Beverly Drive (a reduction of 26 feet in height). In addition to the reorientation of the Project’s proposed U-shaped building to the south, under Alternative 4, the third through sixth floors would extend over the motorcourt, and the hotel amenities would be concentrated at the center of the building, with the spa on the third floor, the private club and bar on the fourth floor, the wellness center and additional private club uses on the fifth floor, and the pool deck on the sixth floor. These amenities would be wrapped with hotel guest rooms along North Rodeo Drive, South Santa Monica Boulevard, and North Beverly Boulevard, thus resulting in a U shaped building that faces south. Furthermore, under Alternative 4, the penthouse would be positioned to the north of the penthouse pool deck. The Project’s proposed eighth and ninth floors would be eliminated under Alternative 4 and the features and amenities in these floors would be distributed to other lower floors.
Alternative 4 eliminates recessed windows, balconies and overhangs that are incorporated throughout the Project, which shade window glazing while allowing deflected and diffused daylight into the building and reduce the need for artificial light sources. Due to this redistribution of building massing, Alternative 4 would involve a significant reduction in access to natural light for a large number of guest rooms, as well as the club, wellness center, spa and gym uses.
Alternative 4 would also eliminate the building step backs on North Rodeo Drive, South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Boulevard as well as guest terraces and greenery. The Project’s proposed ground floor lobby to the private club with a pedestrian entrance on North Beverly Drive would also be eliminated under Alternative 4.
Open spaces and landscaping under Alternative 4 would eliminate the Project’s proposed garden porte cochere over the motor court; the 4,760 square feet of outdoor restaurant and bar spaces on levels six and seven; the publicly-accessible 670-square-foot pedestrian plaza at the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive that would be contiguous to the sidewalk and include private artwork; the 742-square-foot outdoor terrace on the seventh level; the wellness center outdoor area; the hotel room balcony/patio areas; and the majority of the outdoor landscaping. The remaining open space would consist of the pool decks on the sixth and seventh floors. Alternative 4 would increase the number of trees on-site from zero to 7 trees and replace the 15 street trees adjacent to the Project Site on a 1:1 basis, for a combined total of 22 trees.
Alternative 4 would require the same discretionary entitlements as the Project.
2. Reasons for Rejecting Alternative
A comparison between impacts identified in the Project and Alternative 4 is detailed in Section
5.4 and Table 5.0-4 of the Final EIR, and summarized below.
Impacts identified for Alternative 4 in the following categories would remain generally the same as for the Project: Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources), Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise (other than on-site operational noise), Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems.
-43-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Impacts identified for Alternative 4 in the following category would be decreased when compared to the Project but the significance determination would remain the same: Noise (on-site operational noise). The outdoor spaces under Alternative 4 would be less than the Project and the building layout with reorientation of the U-shaped building would provide shielding of noise from the residential uses to the north.
Impacts related to the following category would be increased when compared to the Project and potentially significant: Land Use and Planning. With the introduction of one uniform height across the building, Alternative 4 would eliminate many of the Project’s features and the various design elements of the building proposed by the Project which support the City’s goals, objectives, and policies. As such, Alternative 4 conflicts with applicable land use plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Thus, impacts related to conflicts with land use plans under Alternative 4 would be potentially significant and greater than the less-than-significant impacts of the Project.
Project Objectives
With a similar mix of uses, and the same floor area and FAR as the Project, Alternative 4 would achieve the following Project objectives:
x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
However, Alternative 4 would only partial meet the underlying purpose of the Project and would not meet the following objectives of the Project due to the reduction of the Project’s proposed streetscape improvements, elimination of the building step backs, articulation, and modulation in lieu of a shear-sided, blocky massing; elimination of the publicly-accessible 670 square foot pedestrian plaza at the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive that would be contiguous to the sidewalk and include private artwork; elimination of the majority of the private and common open space including guest terraces; elimination of the trellis-like garden porte cochere over the motor court; elimination of the majority of the outdoor landscaping; and a significant reduction in access to natural light for a large number of guest rooms, as well as the club, wellness center, spa and gym uses.
-44-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Beverly Hills Business Triangle.
x Replace existing uses and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level.
Conclusion
Alternative 4 would redistribute the massing of the hotel building to reduce the overall height to 89 feet consisting of seven stories as well as reorient the Project’s proposed U-shaped building to the south, this alternative would develop the same uses, floor area, and parking as the Project. As such, Alternative 4 would not eliminate any of the Project’s impacts, all of which are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation. In addition, Alternative 4 would result in greater impacts with regard to land use and planning as Alternative 4 would not be consistent with applicable land use policies. Overall, impacts under Alternative 4 would be similar to those of the Project, except for Land Use and Planning, which impacts would be greater. Alternative 4 also does not meet most of the Project objectives, and would result in incrementally greater environmental impacts, and thus is an overall inferior alternative that is hereby rejected on those bases.
E. ALTERNATIVE 5
1. Summary of Alternative
Alternative 5, the Reduced Project Alternative, would develop the Project Site similar to the Project but at a reduced scale, including by eliminating the third subterranean level proposed under the Project as well as all publicly-accessible uses except for the ground floor retail on Rodeo Drive.
Overall, Alternative 5 would provide 168,403 square feet with a FAR of 3.0:1 above-ground FAR and 3.2:1 total FAR as compared to the 220,950 square feet of floor area and 3.91:1 above-ground FAR and 4.2:1 total FAR of the Project (a reduction of 52,546 square feet). Alternative 5 would propose a 85-room hotel building (a reduction of 30 guest rooms compared to the Project) would consist of five stories with a maximum height of 66 feet along North Rodeo Drive (an increase of 15 feet as compared to the proposed four stories and 51 feet of the Project along North Rodeo Drive) and seven stories with a maximum height of 95 feet (a reduction of 20 feet in height as compared to the nine stories with a maximum height of 115 feet of the Project along North Rodeo Drive).
Alternative 5 would eliminate the Project’s proposed private club and also eliminate the publicly accessible, ground floor restaurant on the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Beverly Drive and replace it with a vehicle down ramp internal to the Project Site, as well as reduce the floor area of the wellness center and spa and the sixth floor restaurant. The remaining restaurant and the wellness center and spa on the sixth floor would be reduced in size and available
-45-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
to hotel guests only. Additionally, the Project’s proposed ground floor lobby to the private club with a pedestrian entrance on North Beverly Drive would be eliminated under Alternative 5, as would the private club.
The overall design of the building under Alternative 5 differs from the Project by using shear sides and blocky massing to achieve a lower height, eliminating the Project’s stepped back, modulated and articulated design. The façade lacks the Project’s guest terraces and greenery, and lacks the trellis-like garden porte cochere. Alternative 5 would feature similar pedestrian and bicycle access as the Project. Vehicular access would also be similar to the Project, but all ramps would be internal to the Project Site and accessed from the motor court, as described further below.
Parking would be provided in two subterranean levels (a reduction of one subterranean level when compared to the Project’s three proposed subterranean levels) with a total of 94 on-site parking spaces (a reduction of 45 parking spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed 139 on-site parking spaces, a reduction of 78 parking spaces when compared to the Project’s proposed total parking supply of 172 spaces [139 on-site and 33 in lieu parking spaces], and a reduction of 91 parking spaces when compared to the Proposed Project’s proposed 185 parking spaces). As with the Project, primary access to the building and parking would be from South Santa Monica Boulevard from a valet motor court. The existing alley that runs north-south and is currently accessed from South Santa Monica Boulevard would be removed and relocated to the southern portion of the Project Site. The new access point to the alley would be from the west side of North Beverly Drive.
Open spaces and landscaping under Alternative 5 would be greatly reduced. Specifically, Alternative 5 would eliminate the Project’s proposed 4,760 square feet of outdoor restaurant and bar spaces on levels six and seven; the publicly-accessible 670 square foot pedestrian plaza at the corner of South Santa Monica Boulevard and North Rodeo Drive that would be contiguous to the sidewalk and include private artwork; the 742 square-foot outdoor terrace on the seventh level; the wellness center outdoor area; and the majority of the outdoor landscaping. The remaining open space and landscaping would consist of the pool decks on the sixth and seventh floors.
Furthermore, similar to the Project, Alternative 5 would also increase the number of trees on site from zero to 7 trees and replace the 15 street trees adjacent to the Project Site on a 1:1 basis, for a combined total of 22 trees.
With the reduction in uses and parking, construction of Alternative 5 would be reduced compared to the Project. Similar to the Project, construction activities would include demolition of existing uses, grading and excavation, and construction of a new structure and related infrastructure. Due to the elimination of the third subterranean level, the total depth of excavation required for Alternative 5 would be reduced from 44 feet to a depth of 35 feet (a reduction of nine feet when compared to the Project). Consequently, soil export for Alternative 5 would also be reduced as compared to the Project and would include 99,369 cubic yards of exported soil (a reduction of 25,551 cubic yards when compared to the Project’s proposed 124,920 cubic yards of soil export).
Alternative 5 would require the same discretionary entitlements as the Project, as listed in Section
2.0, Project Description, of this Draft Final EIR.
2. Reasons for Rejecting Alternative
-46-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
A comparison between impacts identified in the Project and Alternative 5 is detailed Section 5.5 of the Final EIR and summarized below.
Impacts identified for Alternative 5 in the following categories would remain generally the same as for the Project: Biological Resources, Cultural Resources (historical resources), Energy (conflict with plans), Noise (construction, operation vibration), Transportation.
Impacts identified for Alternative 2 in the following categories would be decreased when compared to the Project but the significance determination would remain the same: Air Quality, Cultural Resources (archeological resources), Energy (construction and operation), Geology and Soils (Paleontological Resources), Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise (operation on-site and offsite noise), Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems.
Impacts related to the following category would be increased when compared to the Project but the significance determination would remain the same: Land Use Planning. Alternative 5 would develop the Project Site with the same uses as the Project but would eliminate many of the Project’s features and design elements which support the City’s goals, objectives, and policies of its General Plan. Thus, Alternative 5 conflicts with applicable land use plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating environmental effect and Alternative 5 Land Use and Planning impacts would be potentially significant and greater than the less than significant impacts of the Project.
Project Objectives
Alternative 5 would provide a similar mix of uses as the Project but such uses would be reduced.
Specifically, Alternative 5 does not encourage pedestrian activity; provides a smaller number of hotel rooms, a reduced number of restaurants; reduces the size of the amenity uses; eliminates one level of subterranean parking, the members club, most of the open space and landscaping, and the building step backs, modulation, and articulation. Thus Alternative 5 would only partially meet the underlying purpose of the Project to revitalize the Project Site by developing a high quality hotel development project. Alternative 5 would achieve the following Project objectives:
x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
The following objectives are either not met or only partially met by Alternative 5 due to the elimination of step backs, modulation and articulation in building design, the ground floor restaurant, the private club, public use of the wellness center and spa and remaining restaurant and
-47-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
their reduction in size, and elimination of one subterranean level of parking and the proposed streetscape improvements:
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Replace existing uses and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level.
Conclusion
Alternative 5 would reduce construction and operational activities due to the reduction in uses, floor area, and parking. However, Alternative 5 would not eliminate any of the Project’s impacts, which are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation, and would result in greater impacts regarding land use and planning. Alternative 5 also does not meet most of the Project objectives, and would result in incrementally greater environmental impacts, and thus is an overall inferior alternative that is hereby rejected on those bases.
F. ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE
As detailed discussion of the Environmentally Superior Alternative is included in Section 5.6 of the Final EIR.
The No Project Alternative would have environmental impacts that would be overall less than any other alternatives, including the Project. However, Section 15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that if the environmentally superior alternative is determined to be a “no project” alternative then an EIR must also identify an environmentally superior alternative from among the other alternatives.
Alternative 3 is identified as the environmentally superior alternative because Alternative 3 would reduce many of the Project’s less-than-significant and less than significant with mitigation impacts to the greatest degree compared to the other alternatives due to the substantial reduction of excavation and floor area involved. Nonetheless Alternative 3 would not eliminate the Project’s impacts, which are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation, and would not meet the underlying purpose of the Project to revitalize the Project Site by developing a high quality hotel development project.
-48-
B0785-1673\2619387v1.doc
Alternative 3 would also be less effective than the Project in meeting the following Project Objectives due to its limited number of hotel rooms (2/3 fewer than those provided by the Project) and lack of amenities typically provided as part of a luxury hotel, including restaurants and bars, spa and pools.
x Reduce vehicular trips and promote local and regional mobility objectives by developing a hotel use with convenient access to a variety of alternative transportation options including walking, biking, and public transit, and in close proximity to popular tourist destinations.
The following objectives are either not met or only partially met by Alternative 3 due to the reduction in hotel rooms; retention of the alley in its current configuration; the reduction of two subterranean levels of parking; and the elimination of the restaurant uses, amenities, garden porte cochere over the motor court, sidewalk widening and pedestrian amenities, and the majority of the outdoor landscaping:
x Replace existing use and structures with an economically viable and aesthetically attractive development on a physically constrained site that will be physically and programmatically compatible with the variety of urban uses in the vicinity. x Support and expand tourism and business activity by developing new lodging opportunities that are easily accessible to entertainment and commercial destinations in the City of Beverly Hills.
x Provide short- and long-term employment opportunities and maximize transient occupancy tax revenue for the City through the development of a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel that will attract visitors to the Business Triangle and Beverly Hills. x Improve the pedestrian experience and enhance walkability through a pedestrian friendly design that includes pedestrian amenities at ground level. x To accommodate vehicle flow on adjacent City streets and promote multiple transportation modes (walking, bicycling) by relocating the alley bisecting the Project Site, placing parking underground, limiting driveway access points, and enhancing the pedestrian environment on all of the adjoining streets.
Thus, although Alternative 3 is found to be the environmentally superior alternative, it is not superior to the Project in light of the project objectives.
