PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The requests pertain to the vacation of an abandoned, 10’-O” wide storm drain easement that is no longer in use located on the property at 1193 Loma Linda Drive, as well as street improvementsinvolving dedication of vehicle access easement areas on the 1193 Loma Linda Drive and 1184 Loma Linda Drive properties to provide a wider and more code-compliant fire truck turnaround area than currently exists at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive. The street improvements wouldconsist of widening the roadway by relocating the existing curb along the 1184 Loma Linda Drive frontage 4’-O” to the west, resulting in a 26’-O” wide roadway. Additional improvements would consist of providing concrete pavement on the 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda properties such that the minimum dimensions of a fire truck turnaround can be accommodated. These paved areas,which will be located on private property, are the subject of the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for vehicle access, for which the Planning Commission is considering for conformance with the General Plan. All curbs along the west side of Loma Linda Drive beginning at the 1184 Loma Linda Drive property would be painted red, and red curb would continue throughout the new cul de-sac and stop at the north property line of 1193 Loma Linda Drive, including a new, red painted low-profile rolled curb offset approximately 4’-O” from the façade of the proposed garage structure at 1193 Loma Linda Drive. Signage stating No Parking Anytime’ will also be installed at appropriate locations leading into the cul-de-sac. The proposed red curb and No Parking Anytime I

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines1, and the environmental regulations of the City. The projects appear to qualify for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3(a) and 3(d)) of the Guidelines. Specifically, the proposedproject involves the construction of two new single-family residences, each on a separate site that was previously developed in an urban area, and the proposed vacation and offer of dedication relate to utility and street improvements that are identified in the Guidelines. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the projects exempt from further review under the provisions of CEQA.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND NOTIFICATION
Public notice is not required for these requests. However, staff sent a courtesy email to neighborsin the immediate vicinity of the project site who have specifically asked to be notified of any potential actions taken on the subject properties. The courtesy notice was emailed to five nearby property owners (including the four that are immediately adjacent to the subject properties) on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 (nine days prior to the hearing).

Additionally, over the course of the past several months, staff has maintained contact with several interested neighboring property owners throughout the review process for the proposed projects, and has held several meetings to review the project plans and answer questions regarding the proposed projects and the review process. Staff has also met numerous times with the Applicant team throughout the plan review process to clarify plan corrections and go over processing requirements.

Public Comment
As of the writing of this report, no written public comment has been received. However, staff has received verbal communications from a neighboring property owner who also represents the views of numerous other property owners in the Hillside Area of the City, stating that they are not in favor of the proposed dedications and vacation and strongly oppose the proposed developments on the two properties.

ANALYSIS
Staff’s analysis as to whether the proposed acquisition and disposal of real property is in conformance with the City’s adopted General Plan is provided below for the Commission’sconsideration.

Vacation of Storm Drain Easement. The property at 1193 Loma Linda Drive contains a 10’- 0” wide City easement for storm drain purposes that originates at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive, and previously continued to the south to connect to Coldwater Canyon Drive, passing through the property at 1111 Coldwater Canyon Drive, as shown in green in the diagram below:

Stormwater Easement Diagram
In or around 1971, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) obtained a new 10'-0 wide easement located further north, and relocated the County's storm drain line to the new easement area, which remains active and is shown in orange in the diagram above. This resulted in discontinuation in use of the City-owned easement (shown in green) as of 1971. The plans for the proposed single-family residence at 1193 Loma Linda Drive includes construction of a structure over the unused City of Beverly Hills storm drain easement, and thus vacation of the easement by the City is necessary. The Conservation Element of the General Plan contains goals and policies relating to public infrastructure, including storm drains. Policy CON 10.1 Storm Drain Maintenance provides direction to "maintain and upgrade public storm drains and storage control facilities, and construct or expand storm drain and flood control facilities, to protect the community from risks 334

to lives and property associated with flooding and storm water runoff” Since the LACFCD has already provided an upgraded storm drain line in the relocated easement area which is sufficient forthe drainage of the street, there is no need for the City of Beverly Hills to continue to control the unused easement area, which contains an older storm drain line that has not been in use for over 45 years. Thus, vacation of the abandoned easement would not be in conflict with the applicable General Plan policy.

Dedication of Emergency Access Easements. As part of the review for building permits on the subject properties for new single family residences, consideration was given as to what the appropriate requirements would be for providing adequate emergency vehicle access to the area, given the substandard condition of the existing hammerhead terminus of Loma Linda Drive and the various physical constraints of the area. Various City departments, including Community Development, Public Works, and Fire worked with the applicant to develop an emergency vehicle turnaround area that adequately addresses the need for improvements.

The result is the emergency vehicle turnaround design that is included in Attachment F to this report. As part of its review, the Fire Department also considered various options for fully code-compliant turnaround configurations, as well as an alternative offered by a neighboring property owner, A summary of the Fire Department’s findings with respect to each alternative is provided in Attachment C. Ultimately, the Fire Department concluded that the design shown in Attachment F is a better solution than other alternatives because it achieves the necessary turnaround area for emergency vehicles, and does not result in the same impacts of the other alternatives not only to the subject properties, but to neighboring properties and the availability of parking along the street.

The proposed street improvements and dedication of easements for vehicle access will result in a substantially improved turnaround area at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive, as well as a wider roadway leading into the turnaround with sufficient width for two emergency vehicles to safely pass each other. This will result in substantial life safety improvements as compared to the current roadway conditions by making it easier for large fire trucks to safely turn around at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive without having to travel in reverse down the street to Coldwater Canyon, and to allow multiple vehicles, such as a fire truck and ambulance, to pass each other in emergency situations. In order to increase compliance with the requirement that the turnaround area will remain unobstructed, red curb will be required for a substantial portion of the roadway leading into the cul-de-sac, as well as around the entire cul-de-sac itself along with appropriate ‘No Parking Anytime’ signage. These parking restrictions will not affect any of the currently available street parking along the east side of Loma Linda Drive fronting the property at 1185 Loma Linda Drive, These outcomes are consistent with numerous General Plan Policies relating to Circulation and Safety, specifically Policies CIR 3.1, CIR 3.2, S 2.1, S 2.2, S 3.1, S 3.2, S 3.3, and S 3.4 which relate to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of fire safety personnel, enforcing the City’s building and fire codes to reflect the best available standards for fire safety design, and reducing traffic impacts in residential areas. 335

A RESOLUTION OF TIlE PLANNING COMMISSION OF

THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REPORTING TO THE

CITY COUNCIL ON THE CONSISTENCY OF A

PROPOSED VEHICLE ACCESS EASEMENT WITH THE
CITY’S GENERAL PLAN
The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills hereby resolves as follows:

Section 1. California Government Code Section 65402 requires that if a general plan has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired by dedication until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition has been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65100, Paragraph C of Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1-102, assigns the planning agency function for review of local public works projects for consistency with the general plan to the Planning Commission.

Section 2. On October 12, 2017, the Planning Commission, in its capacity as the Planning Agency, reviewed the offer of dedication of an easement for vehicle access on the properties located at 1184 Loma Linda Drive and 1193 Loma Linda Drive for consistency with the City’s General Plan. The proposed dedications are offered in conjunction with required street improvements that will result in a substantially improved turnaround area at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive, as well as a wider roadway leading into the turnaround with sufficient width for two emergency vehicles to safely pass each other. This will result in substantial life safety improvements as compared to the current roadway conditions by making it easier for large fire trucks to safely turn around at the terminus of the street without having to reverse back down the street to Coidwater Canyon, and to allow multiple vehicles, such as a fire truck and ambulance, to pass each other in RESOLUTION NO. 1826

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF

THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS REPORTING TO THE

CITY COUNCIL ON THE CONSISTENCY OF A

PROPOSED VEHICLE ACCESS EASEMENT WITH THE

CITY'S GENERAL PLAN
The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills hereby resolves as follows:

Section 1. California Government Code Section 65402 requires that if a general plan has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired by dedication until the location, purpose and extent of such acquisition has been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65100, Paragraph C of Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1-102, assigns the planning agency function for review of local public works projects for consistency with the general plan to the Planning Commission.

Section 2. On October 12, 2017, the Planning Commission, in its capacity as the Planning Agency, reviewed the offer of dedication of an easement for vehicle access on the properties located at 1184 Lorna Linda Drive and 1193 Loma Linda Drive for consistency with the City's General Plan. The proposed dedications are offered in conjunction with required street improvements that will result in a substantially improved turnaround area at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive, as well as a wider roadway leading into the turnaround with sufficient width for two emergency vehicles to safely pass each other. This will result in substantial life safety improvements as compared to the current roadway conditions by making it easier for large fire trucks to safely tum around at the terminus of the street without having to reverse back down the street to Coldwater Canyon, and to allow multiple vehicles, such as a fire truck and ambulance, to pass each other in emergency situations. In order to increase compliance with the requirement that the turnaround area remain unobstructed, red curb will be required for a substantial portion ofthe roadway leading into the cul-de-sac, as well as around the entire cul-de-sac itself along with appropriate ‘No Parking Anytime’ signage. These parking restrictions will not affect any of the currently available street parking along the east side ofLoma Linda Drive fronting the adjacent property. These outcomes are consistent with and advance numerous General Plan Policies relating to Circulation and Safety.

The proposed easement dedication advances the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and presents no impediments to achieving the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Dedication of the vehicle access easement will facilitate substantial improvements in the City’s ability to provide emergency response services and will bring the existing, nonconforming hammerhead turnaround at the terminus of Loma Linda Drive further into compliance with current standards. Specifically, the proposed vacation is consistent with General Plan Policy CON 10.1, which states:
“CIR 3.1 Neighborhood Traffic Control Measures. Incorporate traffic control measures in residential neighborhoods as part of proposed roadway improvement or development projects to mitigate traffic impacts to residents and reduce the negative impacts of motor vehicle traffic on quality of life. Require development projects to mitigate traffic impacts to residents and reduce the negative impacts of motor vehicle traffic on residential roadways.” “CIR 3.2 Design of Traffic Calming Devices. Ensure that selected traffic management devices are appropriately designed with consideration to accessibility, drainage, underground utilities, adequate visibility, landscaping and the needs of emergency, sanitation, and transit vehicles, and that these devices to not result in unintended consequences such as increased travel times, emergency response times, sound, or traffic diversions.”

Subject: 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Turnaround
In or around September 2016, the applicants for the development of the properties at 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive approached the Fire Department regarding emergency access at the end of Loma Linda Drive which, in its present configuration, does not provide adequate opportunity for emergency response vehicles to turn around. Under current conditions, emergency response vehicles may be required to back down portions of Loma Linda Drive given its substandard terminus, a situatiOn that compromises response times, and which the fire Department strives to avoid.

At that time, the Fire Department reviewed certain modifications to the end of Loma Linda Drive and on September 20, 2016 provided a tentative approval of revisions that would improve the condition, although not fully complying with Fire Code standards applicable to a turnaround on a new street.

While processing the applications for planning approvals for the two single family residences proposed for 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive, questions arose regarding the adequacy of the fire turnaround, and further dialogue occurred among the Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Community Development Department regarding the configuration of the end of Loma Linda Drive and how best to address the constrained turnaround opportunities in that location.

During those conversations, a number of alternate configurations were considered, including those shown in the 2016 California Fire Code (hereafter the “Fire Code”) Figure D103, 1 (attached hereto as Exhibit B), and which are described below:
• an alternative hammerhead configuration outlined in Fire Code Figure Dl03.1, using the driveway for 1184, and which would have required red curbing for both sides of the street and resulted loss of on street parking on the 1193 side of the street (Exhibit Al). • a standard hammerhead configuration which would have impacted development of both the 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda parcels, and would have necessitated grading and retaining walls on the 1193 Loma Linda side of the street to support the hammerhead, and which would have altered the slope in that area. (Exhibit A2)
• a fully conforming cul-de-sac outlined in Fire Code Figure D103. 1, which would have required a substantial dedication of property, was deemed to be too impactful on the properties, and was too costly (Exhibit A3).

1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Turnaround
In or around September 2016, the applicants for the development of the properties at 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive approached the Fire Department regarding emergency access at the end of Loma Linda Drive which, in its present configuration, does not provide adequate opportunity for emergency response vehicles to turn around. Under current conditions, emergency response vehicles may be required to back down portions of Loma Linda Drive given its substandard terminus, a situation that compromises response times, and which the Fire Department strives to avoid.

At that time, the Fire Department reviewed certain modifications to the end of Loma Linda Drive and on September 20, 2016 provided a tentative approval of revisions that would improve the condition, although not fully complying with Fire Code standards applicable to a turnaround on a new street.

While processing the applications for planning approvals for the two single family residences proposed for 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive, questions arose regarding the adequacy of the fire turnaround, and further dialogue occurred among the Fire Department, Public Works Department, and Community Development Department regarding the configuration of the end of Loma Linda Drive and how best to address the constrained turnaround opportunities in that location.

During those conversations, a number of alternate configurations were considered, including those shown in the 2016 California Fire Code (hereafter the "Fire Code") Figure D 103 .1 ( attached hereto as Exhibit B), and which are described below:
• an alternative hammerhead configuration outlined in Fire Code Figure D103.1, using the driveway for 1184, and which would have required red curbing for both sides of the street and resulted loss of on street parking on the 1193 side of the street (Exhibit A 1 ). • a standard hammerhead configuration which would have impacted development of both the 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda parcels, and would have necessitated grading and retaining walls on the 1193 Loma Linda side of the street to support the hammerhead, and which would have altered the slope in that area. (Exhibit A2)
• a fully confonning cul-de-sac outlined in Fire Code Figure D103.1, which would have required a substantial dedication of property, was deemed to be too impactful on the properties, and was too costly (Exhibit A3).
a “Y” shaped turnaround that would have had similar impacts as the standard hammerhead shown in Exhibit A2 with respect to grading and retaining walls on the 1193 Loma Linda side of the street. (Exhibit A4)
• an alternate hammerhead configuration shown in the attached Exhibits A103/A104 extending to the face of the garages for the 1193 property, with red curbing, no parking signs, a widened paved section between the curbs along Loma Linda Drive in that area, and the granting of an easement to the City for emergency responder use that provided for adequate turnaround area and avoided the need to back down the street.
• a hammerhead configuration proposed by Ms. Weiss’ and her architect that would further impact the development proposals at 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda and not provide the additional area within the turnaround. (Exhibit A5)
While the Department strives to remedy substandard turn-around conditions like the one currently existing at the end of Loma Linda Drive, achieving full compliance with current standards often is not feasible. In such circumstances where there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out provisions of the Fire Code, the Department has the authority to grant modifications for individual cases, provided that the fire cdde official finds a special individual reason makes strict’letter of the code impractical, and provided that the modification is in compliance with the intent and purpose of the code and does not lessen the health, life and fire safety requirements. (Fire Code, Sec. 104.8.) Further, approved fire apparatus access roads should meet certain criteria, although the fire code official has the authority to determine the required turning radius (Fire Code Secs. 503.2.4; D103.3). for dead-end streets in excess of 150 feet, an approved area for turning around fire apparatus must be provided (Fire Code Sec. 503.2.5). Because Loma Linda Drive is longer than 750 feet in length, special approval is required. (Fire Code Sec. D103.4, Table D103.4.)
After consideration of the various options, the Department has concluded that the configuration shown in the attached Exhibits A103/A104 is a better solution than the mid-block alternative that would have required additional no parking zones and impacted other properties on the street due to loss of on-street parking. The hammerhead configuration with red curb surrounding the entire area, in conjunction with the widened street and dedicated easement for fire Department and other emergency responder use is found to significantly improve the turnaround opportunities in this constrained area. Further, with red curbing and signage, Fire Department staff believe the potential for vehicles to park in the turnaround area and compromise the turnaround’s usefulness has been significantly reduced.

While the turnaround is not compliant with the Fire Code Figure D103.1, which would apply if a new street were to be proposed today, the Department hereby finds that the hammerhead configuration with red curb surrounding the entire area, widened street and dedicated easement for fire department use in the turnaround collectively constitute an acceptable modification to the generally applicable standards due to the specific constraints in this area, and that approval of the modification in conjunction with development of one or both of the properties at 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive is in compliance with the intent and purpose of the Fire Code and does not lessen the health, life and fire safety requirements.

In fact, the modification significantly improves accessibility in comparison to the existing condition.

The configuration in Exhibit AS would provide better turnaround opportunity than currently exists, This memorandum provides the details regarding granting the modifications and will be recorded and entered into the files of the City’s department of fire prevention.

After consideration of the various options, the Department has concluded that the configuration shown in the attached Exhibits Al03/A104 is a better solution than the mid-block alternative that would have required additional no parking zones and impacted other properties on the street due to loss of on-street parking. The hammerhead configuration with red curb surrounding the entire area, in conjunction with the widened street and dedicated easement for Fire Department and other emergency responder use is found to significantly improve the turnaround opportunities in this constrained area. Further, with red curbing and signage, Fire Department staff believe the potential for vehicles to park in the turnaround area and compromise the turnaround's usefulness has been significantly reduced.

While the turnaround is not compliant with the Fire Code Figure D103.l, which would apply if a new street were to be proposed today, the Department hereby finds that the hammerhead configuration with red curb surrounding the entire area, widened street and dedicated easement for fire department use in the turnaround collectively constitute an acceptable modification to the generally applicable standards due to the specific constraints in this area, and that approval of the modification in conjunction with development of one or both of the properties at 1184 and 1193 Loma Linda Drive is in compliance with the intent and purpose of the Fire Code and does not lessen the health, life and fire safety requirements. 1 In fact, the modification significantly improves accessibility in comparison to the existing condition.

The configuration in Exhibit AS would provide better turnaround opportunity than currently exists, 1 This memorandum provides the details regarding granting the modifications and will be recorded and entered into the files of the City's department of fire prevention.
2 however, it does not include the additional turnaround and maneuvering opportunities that accompany the configuration shown in Exhibits A103 and A 104. further, any incremental benefits of the realigned hammerhead are offset by the benefits of the design in Exhibits A103 and A 104, and the impacts of the design in Exhibit A5 on the project sites are would be greater. . Therefore, we recommend that approval of any construction on either or both of these lots be conditioned on implementation of the recommended turnaround configuration in order to allow for reasonable emergency vehicle turnaround opportunities when responding to calls for service at the new development and in the immediate vicinity.

Based on the factors set forth above, the fire Department concludes that a deviation from the strict letter of the code regarding access and turn-around configurations is appropriate in this individual case.

The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed configuration, and finds the configuration acceptable.
