PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Johnnie Walker addressed the City Council regarding a house on the 1500 block of Tucker Street, indicating that people are living in the house that is totally gutted and condemned. Ms. Walker reported that the occupants are stealing water, noting that for the third time, someone came into her back yard during the early morning hours. The Compton Sheriffs have between called and they do respond, however, nothing changes. Ms. Walker stated that she is fearful for her life and requested that the City take action to eradicate this dangerous nuisance, or she will take legal action against the City.

Versalle Lewis also addressed the illegal activity taking place in a home on South Tucker Street.

Mr. Lewis stated that the occupants of an abandoned structure are using illegal drugs such as crystal meth and stealing catalytic converters and committing various other illegal activities. Mr.

Lewis urged the City Council to work in conjunction with the Sheriffs and other agencies to address this problem.

Tom Malloy, Owner of Trent Shoring-206 N. Central Avenue, raised concerns that he offered to pay millions of dollars for the property next to his business, however, the property was ultimately acquired by the Olson Company for substantially less than his original financial offer. Mr. Malloy raised concerns that the City has continued to negotiate with the Olson Company to build lowincome housing on the lot adjacent to his business location costing the taxpayers millions of dollars in lost revenue for the residents. Mr. Malloy further commented that he has requested legal documents from the City which he has not received and further indicated that he will hire legal representation to acquire the public documents.

Heath Durbin, College of Instrument and Technology (CIT), spoke in support of his proposal to help the citizens of the community by utilizing the parking lot at 700 N. Bullis Road for a school.

Mr. Durbin requested a meeting with the City Manager to discuss his proposal.

Benjamin Holifield, President/Founder of the Compton Business Chamber stated that there is a lack of communication between the local businesses and the City, and further stated that the freeway closure is detrimental to the businesses. Mr. Holifield stated that the people of the community must be informed of what is taking place in the City and added that the City must have a business advisory committee.

Anthony Lewis, CIT, wished to offer a brief presentation regarding CIT’s proposal and requested the opportunity to discuss the program in detail with the City Manager and Staff.

1. Tony Branson, President of the Compton Fire Fighter’s Association, informed the City Council that the Compton Fire Fighters have been operating without a contract for over 3 years, and there are no active negotiations between the Union and the City of Compton. Mr. Branson further noted that many of the Fire Fighters were exposed to Covid-19 and contracted the disease and took it home to their families; however, the Fire Fighters did not receive Heroes’ pay compensation from the City. Mr. Branson requested the Council’s assistance in securing a contract with the Compton Fire Fighter’s before the year ends.

Brother Zaafir greeted the City Council and community and explained some of the ideology and practices of the Muslim community and further offered his assistance to the Compton community.

Brother Zaafir urged the City to utilize drones to combat illegal activity in the City.

Jonathan Enayati addressed the City Council relative to the closure of Studio 60 by City administration. Mr. Enayati requested that his business be afforded the opportunity to operate in the City of Compton by providing the Studio with a certificate of occupancy.

Moises Ledesma commented that he worked for Studio 60 and requested that the City Council allow the Studio to operate.

Hareld Durbin, College of Instrument and Technology (CIT), requested that the City Manager review the proposal to use the back parking lot at 700 N. Bullis road which would be an ideal location for his college which will provide a hands-on training facility for the residents. Mr.

Durbin indicated that 700 N. Bullis Road would be an excellent location to operate a school as they have done in the past.

Marcia Durbin, CIT, requested that the City Council permit CIT to move back into the City to train Compton residents.

Maria Villareal, CEO Latino Chamber of Commerce, commented that at a previous meeting she informed the City Council and community that the Chamber has a program to provide computers for the residents, however, the Chamber’s office was vandalized and burglarized. Ms. Villareal indicated that the Latino Chamber was unfairly removed from 700 N. Alameda and alleged that they have been discriminated against; however, she will continue to provide assistance to the residents and businesses of Compton.

Adriana Hernandez, Latino Chamber of Commerce, indicated that the Chamber can have a powerful impact and advocate for the residents and the businesses of the community. Ms.

Hernandez also indicated that the Latino Chamber would like to work harmoniously with the City to make certain that businesses of all sizes are successful. Ms. Hernandez asked the City Council what is necessary for the City to take the Latino Chamber of Commerce seriously and assist them in providing services to the entire community.

Dr. Michael Tankersley spoke in support of providing new technology to the youth of the community and discussed developing beehive technology to improve the City of Compton.

Lynn Boone raised concerns that there were several Sheriff’s Deputies inside the Council Chambers, instead of patrolling the streets and serving the community. Ms. Boone further commented that the majority of the City Council were not elected by the people but appointed without the proper procedure. Ms. Boone commented that there is no diversity on the City Council and further alleged that the Councilmembers are not serving the entire community.

David B. Austin commented that he has been requesting that the City address the blinking red lights on Palmer and Alameda. Mr. Austin further suggested that the City add a left-hand turning signal at the location, which will be safer for the people crossing the street.

PUBLIC HEARING - AN APPEAL REQUEST TO DEVELOP A 60-UNIT GATED CONDO COMMUNITY AT COMPTON BOULEVARD AND KEMP AVENUE (Items 12- 16)
On motion by Darden, seconded by Spicer, the public hearing was opened at 6:39 p.m. by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None
Robert Delgadillo, Planning Department, stated that in this matter before the City Council, the applicant, City Ventures, is requesting approval of the following applications to create a gated 60 unit attached condominium project located at 930 West Compton Boulevard. This property is also a Housing Successor agency owned site. The applicant is requesting approval for the following applications:

1. Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA Compliance)

2. General Plan Amendment (MDR to GC)

3. Change of Zone (Remove the Parking Zone)

4. Conditional Use Permit (To develop 60 units in a CL Zone)

5. Tentative Tract Map 82807 (To create 60 condominiums) Mr. Delgadillo further indicated that on May 11, 2022, the Planning Commission heard the case and denied the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request and recommended denial of the remaining applications. Therefore, the CUP request represents an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision. The approval or denial of the other applications resides with the City Council.

Mr. Delgadillo presented an aerial view of the property in question is located on Compton Boulevard near Kemp Street. The present General Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential does not allow the density proposed by the City Ventures project. The Medium Density land use designation limits density to 17 units per acre, whereas the proposed General Commercial land use designation permits up to 29 units similar to the existing Limited Commercial zoning of the site. The proposed change to General Commercial will bring the General Plan land use designation in line with the density permitted by the Limited Commercial zoning and permit the proposed project density of 25 units per acre.

Mr. Delgadillo presented an aerial map of the location in question and stated that each condominium home will be three floors with an attached two-car garage and a private porchbalcony. The garage will be a combination of two car conventional and tandem designs. Ten units are reserved as affordable units and added that primary residential access will be from two gated driveways on 151st Street. The Fire Department has reviewed the site plan and approved the project but requested the provision of an emergency access at the northwest corner of Compton Boulevard and Dwight Street and added that the Fire Department has no other concerns.

Mr. Delgadillo reported that pursuant to Section 30-26.5(k) of the Compton Municipal Code, the City Council shall render its decision on the appeal within thirty days after conclusion of the appeal hearing and has the power to:

1. Affirm the decision of the Planning Commission; or

2. Amend the decision of the Planning Commission; or

3. Overturn the decision of the Planning Commission; or

4. If in the opinion of the Council, the matter requires further consideration, refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for further consideration (without a decision by the Council) with any recommendations the Council may desire.

Mr. Delgadillo indicated that Staff recommends approval of:

1. Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 951

2. General Plan Amendment 2021-001

3. Change of Zone Case Number 2021-003

4. Tentative Tract Map No. 82807 Case Number 2021-001

AUDIENCE COMMENTS REGARDING THE PUBLIC HEARING
Kim Prijatel, Applicant - City Ventures, offered a presentation regarding the proposed project and further requested that the City Council approve the project in an effort to provide critical housing for the residents of Compton.

Anthony Lewis raised concerns that the traffic will be problematic if the project was approved and urged the City Council to consider the likelihood that earthquakes would create a dangerous situation with 3-story units.

Benjamin Holifield stated that the area is too congested for a development of this type and added that the City must increase businesses and beautify the City prior to allowing anymore developments.

Lynn Boone questioned the size of the proposed 60 units and the site acreage and further questioned the number of units that would be labeled as ‘affordable.’ Fidel Marquez suggested that the City Council respect the decision of the Planning Commission and improve the City’s infrastructure and assist the residents.

There being no further comments, it was moved by Spicer, seconded by Duhart, the public hearing was closed at 7:16 p.m. by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None
Councilman Bowers urged the City Council to follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the applications.

Councilmember Spicer raised concerns relative to whether the proposed development would satisfy all the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accommodations.

Mr. Delgadillo indicated that the proposed project is in full compliance with all ADA requirements.

Councilmember Duhart questioned whether the developer surveyed the surrounding community for their input relative to the project.

Ms. Prijatel stated that City Ventures hosted several community meetings and also sent notices to the surrounding radius of the residents notifying them of the proposal. Ms. Prijatel also indicated that she attended a few Business Roundtable meetings in Compton.

Councilmember Darden questioned the Developer regarding whether the proposed guest parking spots met all the necessary requirements for a development of this size. Ms. Prijatel indicated that the number of guest parking proposed for this project satisfies all requirements.

Mayor Sharif questioned why the project was denied by the Planning Commission.

Mr. Delgadillo replied that the Planning Commission voted to deny the CUP and to not recommend approval of the project. Mr. Delgadillo noted that the Planning Commission had concerns that the intersection of Kemp and Compton may become too congested, and they also had safety concerns relative to the project.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE PURCHASE ORDERS TO

SOUTH COAST EMERGENCY VEHICLE SERVICE (PIERCE) AND WILLIAM

KALVIKOV DBA FIRE APPARATUS SOLUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF EMERGENCY FIRE APPARATUS ($100,000.00)

SUMMARY
The adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to issue purchase orders with South Coast Emergency Vehicle Service and William Kalvikov DBA Fire Apparatus Solutions for the maintenance and repair services of the Compton Fire Department’s emergency apparatus in the amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s (”City”) fire engines were purchased in 2005 and one engine recently purchased in 2019 and due to the high volume of emergency responses as well as the conditions of the City streets, the cost of repairs are increasing.

Annual apparatus maintenance and repair for the Compton Fire Department’s (“Department”) emergency vehicles are essential for the safe and efficient emergency response and operation.

The Department performs routine apparatus and equipment inspections on all apparatus daily to ensure that preventive maintenance guidelines are adhered to and that there are no defects with reference to fire engine operations. Furthermore, all vehicles are required to meet the Department of Transportation and California Highway Patrol regulatory statutes concerning emergency vehicles.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE

2. South Coast Emergency Vehicle Service & William
Kalvikov DBA Fire Apparatus Solutions Staff Report
September 6, 2022, page 2
Staff is recommending that the Department select South Coast Emergency Vehicle Service and William Kalvikov DBA Fire Apparatus Solutions for its maintenance and repair of emergency fire apparatus. This will allow the Department flexibility to submit our emergency fire apparatus to the company whom is not as inundated with work, thus creating a faster turnaround time. The City has no vendor in the City boundaries that provide maintenance and repairs for emergency fire apparatus.

City Council approval is needed because the expenditure is in excess of $25,000.00 Dollars.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost for maintenance and repair to the Department’s emergency apparatus for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).

Funds for this expenditure will be available in the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 6000-690-000-4229.

The City of Compton has a responsibility to preserve and protect life, property and continuity of government by notifying its citizens, businesses and other stakeholders about disasters and other emergencies that may occur in or near the City.

Many other government agencies and cities within Los Angeles County, the State of California, and throughout the Country and the Federal Government have implemented similar emergency telephone mass notification systems successfully and efficiently.

These emergency telephone mass notification systems have been proven to save lives during many different kinds of disasters and emergencies.

The City presently had an emergency mass notification system (Code RED) which provided the technology and important features for emergency notification to City residents and stakeholders; however, the contract has expired on June 30, 2022.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The proposed mass notification system (WEN) has the capability for emergency notifications to residents, stakeholders, and City employees for welfare checks or to call them back into work and by making notifications even more accessible like unlimited voice calls, SMS, IPAWS, automated weather alerts, mobile apps, CAD integrations, unlimited training and important features.

3. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing 3-Year Agreement Inspiron Logistics, LLC/Emergency Telephone Notification System September 6, 2022 page 2
The Fire Department staff solicited three (3) quotes/proposals for provision and maintenance of an emergency telephone mass notification system with the following results:

HQE Systems Inc. ($49,950) yearly
OnPage Corporation ($28,272) yearly
OnSolve, LLC ($23,760) yearly
Inspiron Logistics ($12,590) yearly
After reviewing the proposals/bids submitted, staff recommends that awarding an agreement to Inspiron for the WENS system will be in the best interest of the City.

Additionally, the contract with Inspiron Logistics, LLC will allow the City of Compton to apply to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) program, which enables access to the Emergency Alert System (EAS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, and other public alerting systems.

These emergency telephone mass notification systems have been proven to save lives during many different kinds of disasters and emergencies.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The subscription fees and the cost of the emergency telephone mass notification system will be Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Dollars ($12,590) for each one (1) year period. Funds in the amount of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and Ninety Dollars will be available in the Fiscal year 2022-2023 in Account Number 1001-690-000-4269 for services rendered.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City approve this Resolution and accept the current Notification Services Subscription Agreement with Inspiron Logistics, LLC for a period of three (3) years (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025).

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO A THREE (3) YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

AGREEMENT WITH LORNA MENDOZA, RN TO PROVIDE

NURSE EDUCATOR SERVICES FOR THE COMPTON FIRE

DEPARTMENT AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER
($39,990.00)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a three (3) year (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025) professional services agreement with Lorna Mendoza, RN for the purpose of providing training, education, quality assurance and quality improvement for the Compton Fire Department personnel who respond to medical emergencies via the “911” system. And, to establish a purchase order in the amount of Thirty-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Dollars ($39,990.00) for services to be rendered during the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023.

BACKGROUND
The Compton Fire Department (“Department”) currently operates three (3) paramedic units, four (4) fire engines and one (1) truck to provide emergency medical care and treatment to those accessing the emergency “911” system.

The Department must maintain a Continuing Education and Quality Assurance Program to be reviewed by Los Angeles County Department of Health Services annually. In the course of the responders’ duties, education, training, and quality assurance measures need to be established and monitored on an ongoing basis.

Industry standards recommend that procedures are monitored and examined.

The majority, if not all, fire agencies utilize a registered nurse to conduct training sessions for emergency medical personnel, as well as handle the quality assurance and improvements in their respective departments.

The previous Nurse Educator’s contract ended on June 30, 2022, therefore leaving the Department with a void, because of the nature of the work being performed by field personnel, this crucial service must be performed.

5. Lorna Mendoza, RN/Nurse Educator Staff Report

Page 2 ends

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Staff advertised for Nurse Educator Services on May 4, 2022, the department staff also solicited proposals from various professionals in the industry via email and through announcement during the bi-monthly meetings held at the EMS Agency in Santa Fe Springs. On May 25, 2022 we received (1) one proposal in response to the RFP. That proposal was from Lorna Mendoza RN at fees of $65.00 per hour. The other professionals whom the Department reached out to were non-responsive. After evaluation of the proposal submitted staff determined that the proposal and fee submitted by Lorna Mendoza, RN was deemed the most responsive to provide the needed services.

By contracting with a qualified professional to provide these needed services the issues of quality assurance and control can be tracked with the results provided to the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services as required by all agencies providing Pre-Hospital Care in the County of Los Angeles.

Staff is recommending that the City enter into a three (3) year (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) professional service agreement with Lorna Mendoza, R.N. Cost for the agreement is as follows:

First Year (FY 2022-2023) = $39,990.00
Second Year (FY 2023-2024) = $39,990.00
Third Year (FY 2024-2025) = $39,990.00
City Council approval is needed because the expenditure exceeds $25,000.00 Dollars.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this expenditure for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 are currently budgeted in the Fire Department budget in Account No. 1001-690-000-4269.

Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution.

This indemnification and hold harmless obligation does not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.

11. Insurance. Without limiting the Consultant’s indemnification of the City, Consultant shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Consultant or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Coverages and Limits.

The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below-designated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance. Consultant will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If Consultant believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Consultant will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Consultant deems adequate, at Consultant's sole expense.

11.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $1,000,000 combined singlelimit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER

TO GATEWAY CITIES COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (GCCOG) FOR
THE PURPOSE OF PAYING THE FEES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE I-710

CORRIDOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT STATEMENT (EIR/EIS), THE 91/605/405 MAJOR CORRIDOR

STUDY AND THE ATLANTIC AVENUE/BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY

ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE DOLLARS AND SEVENTY NINE CENTS ($51,551.79)

SUMMARY
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) for the purpose of paying fees for participation in the I-710 Corridor Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS), the 91/605/405 Major Corridor Study and Atlantic Avenue/Boulevard Corridor Study for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

BACKGROUND
I-710 Corridor Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement The mission of the GCCOG includes transportation planning for the sub-region and advocating for maximum public sector funding for city and sub-regional projects. GCCOG adopted improvement of the I-710 freeway as one of its transportation priorities. The purpose and need for the study is to analyze traffic congestion, safety, air quality, goods movement, design deficiencies, land use constraints, cost effectiveness, environmental justice, aesthetics, noise, and adequacy of public transit as issues requiring attention and public action in any transportation improvement plan for the corridor. GCCOG served as the advocate for the inclusion of impacted municipalities in the completion of the study.

In April 2008, GCCOG entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Caltrans, LACMTA and SCAG to establish a multi-jurisdictional structure to fund and govern the implementation of the Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) to study the locally preferred strategy developed by the Major Corridor Study and alternative improvements to the I-710. The MOU establishes an I-710 EIR/EIS Project Committee and an I-710 Executive Committee, each of which provides for and depends upon the participation of local elected and appointed officers.

91/605/405 Major Corridor Study
There are 15 separate communities in the SR-91/I-605/I-405 Corridor and each has unique needs, concerns and culture of community involvement. There are also similarities regarding certain concerns such as impact of future freight growth on mobility, air quality and economic viability of the individual communities, and potential property impacts for any freeway widening.

The study provides a foundation for understanding the mobility demands of the three freeway corridors, the complete range of multi-modal improvement needs, and how the improvement project should be shaped to accommodate the needs and concerns of the Gateway Cities.

Atlantic Avenue/Boulevard Corridor Study
This study will evaluate the Atlantic Corridor beginning in the City of Long Beach traversing north to unincorporated Los Angeles County, for a complete street. Two primary alternatives to be considered include 1) the Atlantic Corridor as a “Complete Street” in the feasibility, and 2) as a multi-modal Corridor evaluated for consistency across the sub-region, including a potentially phased approach to a Complete Street, along with any major challenges and project benefits. The results would provide potential funding partners with an understanding of the holistic context of conditions, levels of service, truck volumes/impacts, pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, transit connections, parking, commercial and residential linkages, city entryways/gateways, and potential safe routes to school options.

The study would require participation and consensus from all stakeholders including the cities Compton, Commerce, Vernon, Maywood, Bell, Cudahy, South Gate, Lynwood, Long Beach and unincorporated Los Angeles County, on the general consistency and aesthetic theme of the corridor.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
In order for the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) for the purpose of paying fees for participation in the I-710 Corridor Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS), the 91/605/405 Major Corridor Study and Atlantic Avenue/Boulevard Corridor Study for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, City Council’s authorization is necessary.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE PUBLIC WORKS 2022-2023 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET
TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE $122,445 IN FUNDS FROM THE

LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION

AUTHORITY NATIONAL TRANSIT DATA FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING

THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING FOR SUCCESSFULLY REPORTING TO THE
NATIONAL TRANSIT DATABASE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council adoption of a resolution amending the Public Works Department’s Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget to accept and appropriate One Hundred Twenty Two Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Five Dollars ($122,445.00) in funds from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) National Transit Database (“NTD”) and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with LACMTA for successfully reporting to the NTD for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

BACKGROUND
On November 14, 1980, the voters of the County of Los Angeles approved by majority vote Proposition A, an ordinance establishing a one-half percent sales tax for public transit purposes. On September 26, 2001, the LACMTA authorized payment of Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Funds to each participating agency in an amount equal to the Federal funds generated for the region by each agency’s reported data to the National Transit Database.

The City of Compton, like many other cities, operates locally-funded fixed route and dial-a-ride public transit services in Los Angeles County. Rather than have each city report data directly to the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”), the LACMTA submits a consolidated NTD report to the FTA on behalf of more than 45 cities. The data submitted by each of the local operators generates additional Federal Section 5307 capital funds to the region. Once Congress apportions the funds, LACMTA enters into Memorandum of Understandings (“MOU”) with each city to make payment to each city for their share of the revenues generated for the Los Angeles County region.

12. Staff Report – Amend FY 2022-2023 Budget &
Accept and Appropriate LACMTA NTD Funds
September 6, 2022 Page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
On June 24, 2021, LACMTA approved the FY 2021-2022 transit funding allocations, which included funds to make payments to all cities that voluntarily reported NTD data for FY 2019-2020.

On March 15, 2022, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) published in the Federal Register the FY 2021-2022 Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information including unit values for the data reported to the NTD.

The City has voluntarily submitted their FY 2019-2020 data to the National Transit Database (NTD) and have successfully met all NTD and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements in order to generate Federal 5307 funds for the Los Angeles County region.

Each participating jurisdiction city is paid dollar-for-dollar for what their service generates for the Los Angeles County Region minus the cost of the audit. The local funds provided through this MOU must be spent consistent with Proposition A and C Local Return Guidelines.

Upon adoption of this resolution, the City Manager will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the LACMTA, which entitles the City of Compton to receive a grant of One Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand, Four Hundred Forty-Five Dollars ($122,445.00) for the City’s participation in the National Transit Data Base development for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.

The City will agree that the expenditures of the Proposition A Discretionary Incentive funds will be used for projects that meet the eligibility, administrative, audit, and lapsing requirements of Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return guidelines. This includes the expenditures of funds deemed to be for public transit purposes, to sustain or improve the quality and safety of and/or access to public transit by the general public or those requiring special public transit assistance.

City Council authorization is required for amendment of the FY 2022-2023 budget to accept and authorize the grant funds and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the LACMTA for successfully reporting to NTD for FY 2019-2020.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds will be appropriated as follows:

Grant Funding sources include Federal Transit Administration, United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Highway Administration will be appropriated as follows:

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON APPROVING MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 949 AND

MITIGATION MONITORING REPORTING PROGRAM, CHANGE OF
ZONE CASE NO. 2020-004, A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE ZONING
OF 501-545 EAST COMPTON BOULEVARD, 601-625 EAST COMPTON BOULEVARD, 112 NORTH WILLOW AVENUE AND 107 NORTH

SANTA FE AVENUE FROM LIMITED COMMERCIAL (CL) AND

PARKING/HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (PRH) TO SPECIFIC PLAN (SP) AND ADOPT THE 501-601 EAST COMPTON BOULEVARD

SPECIFIC PLAN

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached ordinance will change the zoning of 501-545 E. Compton Blvd., 601-625 East Compton Blvd., 112 N. Willow Ave. and 107 North Santa Fe and the area subject to the related street vacation case no. 20-003 from (CL), (PRH) to Specific Plan (SP) and adopt the 501/601 E Compton Blvd Specific Plan..

BACKGROUND
KBK Enterprises, LLC is proposing a zone change and specific plan to develop a mixed-use project consisting of 288 residential units (with 20% affordable housing units), 8,945 square feet of ground floor commercial floor space, 36,642 square foot innovation center for established and start-up technology companies, and a multilevel parking structure with levels above and below ground (“Project”). The Project includes requests for Change of Zone, Specific Plan approval, and a related street vacation request for Willow Ave. The proposed Project will be developed on a

2.13-acre site on the north west corner of Compton Blvd. and Santa Fe Ave. located at 501-545 E. Compton Blvd., 601-625 East Compton Blvd., 112 N. Willow Ave. and 107 North Santa Fe Avenue (APN’s 6166-022-900-905, 6166-023-900-904).

The Project Site is comprised of several parcels that all are all adjacent to Compton Boulevard and stretch between Santa Fe Ave. and Willow Ave. and Spring Ave. The Project Site is vacant.

The parcels that make up this proposed development have been under the control of the City of Compton since 2011. The site will be the first major mixed-use project development in downtown Compton and, the site will be the second project proposed under the new Specific Plan ordinance.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Change of Zone
The applicant is proposing a zone change from the current zoning classifications of Limited Commercial (CL) and Parking/High Density Residential (PRH) to the 501/601 E. Compton Blvd.

Specific Plan (SP) zone. The zone change will make it easier to facilitate the development of a large, mixed-use project.

14. KBK Change of Zone/Specific Plan

Project Site. The proposed zone change will combine two zones into one, which will create new development standards that allow for greater density and taller building height on the Project Site.

The zone change will also create a new zone that will allow the proposed Project to be permitted by right and not require the approval of multiple additional entitlements.

The new SP includes new design guidelines for building siting and orientation, building articulation, and acceptable building materials and colors to ensure the development will maintain a high-quality design aesthetic as the uses and businesses at the site change over time. The new SP will be similar to the Planned Development zone and require the Project to provide amenities for the residents such as private open space, areas for recreation and relaxation, and public art.

The SP zone will also have guidelines that will encourage pedestrian activity such as, signage, awnings/canopies, storefront design, and outdoor dining design standards. The SP zone allows for uses that were not permitted in the previous zones. The SP zone will also prohibit some former uses that are no longer considered desirable for downtown Compton such as auto repair garages and swap meets. The SP zone provides a list of the uses that will be permitted either by right, through a Conditional Use Permit, a Minor Use Permit, or a Temporary Permit, and explains the decision-making and appeal process for each.

The current Zoning Ordinance states that the High-Density Residential zone can have a maximum of 29 dwelling units per acre. The recent general plan amendment that establishes the new Specific Plan ordinance states that the maximum density for residential units is 175 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Project will provide 288 residential units on a 2.13-acre site. In order to bring the density maximum in line with the new Specific Plan standards and this proposed Project, the 501/601 E. Compton Blvd. Specific Plan must be approved. The current Zoning Ordinance also only allows buildings in the Limited Commercial zone to have a maximum height of 75 feet, however the SP zone will allow a building a height limit of seven floors giving the Project greater flexibility for its overall height, design, and scale. It is anticipated that this type of flexibility will serve as an example for future projects and encourage greater creativity in building design, therefore, staff has no concerns regarding the proposed height limit or density of the new Specific Plan.

Specific Plan Proposal
The proposed Project is a mixed-use development with 288 residential units. The residences will be made up of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The SP zone will require a minimum size of 300 square feet for a studio unit, 400 square feet for a one-bedroom, and 700 square feet for a two-bedroom. The minimum sizes in this Project will exceed the SP zone minimums with 400 square feet for a studio, 500 square feet for a one-bedroom, and 825 square feet for a twobedroom, with the two-bedroom units going up to a maximum of 975 square feet. All the units will have a washer and dryer, heating and AC, and personal storage space aside from closet and pantry space. In addition, the residents will have exclusive access to a residential lobby, leasing office, outdoor areas with BBQ grilling facilities, an exercise room, a swimming pool, a mail/parcel room, and underground parking in the Project’s multilevel parking structure. A quarter of the units will have a private balcony. The balcony units will face Compton Boulevard only to provide privacy to the existing residences in the rear of the development.

The proposed Project will provide a significant amount of public and private open space. The SP zone requires that private open space and common open space be provided for residents.

KBK Change of Zone/Specific Plan
September 6, 2022

In the proposed Project there will be 5,850 square feet of private open space and 19,350 square feet of common open space for a total of 25,200 square feet of residential open space. The project will also provide 8,500 square feet of commercial open space in the form of rooftop gardens and observation decks bringing the total amount of open space to 39,700 square feet for the development.

In addition to the requirement for open space, the SP zone will permit the creation of a public plaza. This Project proposes to create a public plaza located in the vacated portion of Willow Avenue that is adjacent to Compton Blvd. The public plaza will be 6,000 square feet in size. It will serve as the focal point for activity as it will be located in the center of the development. It will be a place to meet, congregate, and see the public art that will be put on display. Above the public plaza there will be a bridgeway that will connect the east and west portions of the development and allow residents from one side to access the amenities on the other side of the property. For example, residents who live near Spring Avenue will be able to use the bridgeway to gain access to the swimming pool and exercise room which are located near Santa Fe Avenue. The bridgeway will be 25-30 feet above the public plaza.

The SP zone establishes the location of commercial uses on the property. The ground floor level will have over 8,945 square feet of commercial space. This space is intended for primarily retail businesses, restaurants, and commercial service businesses that will have storefronts and visible areas facing Compton Blvd. However, a commercial kitchen for catering businesses could be permitted on the ground level as well. The ground floor level will also have 1,263 of commercial support space for the site. This includes loading and unloading areas, refuse/recycling enclosures, and storage space. The SP zone permits commercial space to be used for business and creative office space. This will be permitted on the mezzanine/second, third, and fourth floors.

The SP zone will permit the construction of a 36,642 square foot innovation center. The center will be comprised of four levels. The ground floor will house a museum and art gallery that will be open to the public. The ground level will also some flex area for business meetings, presentations, small screenings, and live events. The upper levels of the innovation center will have a variety of creative offices, audio and video production facilities, a possible commercial kitchen space, meeting rooms, a room for wellness activities, storage of technology equipment, a coffee bar and the center’s cafeteria. Such a use is not permitted in the current zoning on the site and the SP will now permit such a center to operate on the site.

The SP zone strives to encourage people to use other means of travel instead of using an automobile, therefore, parking for the site will be provided in several ways. The SP zone will accomplish this by requiring short term and long-term bicycle parking for residents, employees, and visitors. Due to this requirement the proposed Project will provide a total of 361 long term bicycle spaces and 39 short term bicycle spaces.

The SP zone also encourages using alternative methods of travel by requiring less parking than what would be normally required for such a development. Per the SP zone, all commercial uses will be parked at a ratio of 1 parking space per 400 square feet. However, no more than 25% of all commercial space shall be used for food and beverage establishments. All apartments will be provided one parking space per unit. The total number of parking spaces on the site will be 407 parking spaces with 288 spaces allocated for residential use and 119 spaces allotted for commercial use. The site is less than ½ mile away from a Metro train station, which is also a transit hub for several buses and there are at least six major bus routes within one block of the KBK Change of Zone/Specific Plan

intersection of Compton Blvd. and Santa Fe Blvd., thereby providing several forms of alternative transportation that will be near the project site.

Environmental Review:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), California Public Resources Code, Division 13 §21000 et seq., an Initial Study for the Project was prepared by Impact Sciences Environmental Consultants on behalf of the City. The City of Compton, in its capacity as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed Project requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration and mitigation-monitoring plan, as part of its environmental review.

A Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) is a determination that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the implementation of the 7 mitigation measures.

The proposed Zone Change and Specific Plan, along with the related General Plan Amendment and street vacation, were included as part of the MND review and analysis.

For further details regarding the MND process, refer to the staff report for the related General Plan Amendment.

Another item discussed in the SP zone is street mobility. The SP zone discusses the importance of motorists and pedestrians having easy circulation around the project site. A Traffic Impact Analysis/Study was prepared by Iteris Traffic Engineering Group. The report evaluated the potential traffic impacts created by the proposed development in terms of level of service (LOS).

Although the CEQA analysis is based on vehicle miles traveled (VMT), the LOS analysis is used to consider general plan conformity and to determine whether conditions of approval are warranted. According to the report is it estimated that the proposed Project when completed and occupied will generate an increase of up to 1,247 new daily vehicle trips with 106 trips during the am peak hour and 132 trips during the pm peak hour. The two intersections that were studied were Alameda St. and Compton Blvd. and Santa Fe Ave. and Compton Blvd.

The study evaluated the potential traffic growth based on the current street configuration of the studied intersections and added future traffic conditions. The projected traffic numbers were then analyzed by using both Level of Service (LOS) and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) standards and determined that no significant traffic impacts would be caused by the proposed development. The traffic study identified the intersections of Alameda and Compton Blvd. and Santa Fe and Compton Blvd. as major traffic areas. The study results show that the intersections would maintain their current levels of service even with the existence of the Project, which is slated to open in 2024. The intersections Alameda and Santa Fe would maintain their respective levels of C and D in the am peak hours and levels D and C in the pm peak hours. The level of service “D” on an “A to F” is the minimum acceptable standard. The state law changed in 2021 requiring CEQA traffic reports to stop analyzing LOS and switch to VMT as the metric to measure a project’s potential traffic impacts for CEQA purposes. However, both were used in this study as Compton and other cities still use the LOS metric to determine traffic impact on their streets and for general plan conformity. Based on analysis of the data, Iteris determined that the Project’s projected traffic will have a less than significant impact on the surrounding area from a VMT perspective.

While the Project does not meet the VMT threshold for having a significant impact on the surrounding area, the City of Compton had their transportation consultants, InterWest Traffic Engineering, analyze the proposed Project and surrounding and they came up with several traffic KBK Change of Zone/Specific Plan

recommendations that the city will ensure are implemented during the construction of the Project through imposition of conditions of approval on the Specific Plan. The traffic recommendations are as follows:
 Modify on-street parking with red-curb just north of proposed driveway on Santa Fe Avenue to accommodate an entry lane into the site and to improve visibility when exiting the site.
 Consider installation of a "KEEP CLEAR" zone on Santa Fe Avenue at the project driveway to allow exiting vehicles to access all lanes during peak hours and to minimize conflicts.
 Based on the trip assignment it appears that a significant amount of project traffic will utilize the Santa Fe Avenue driveway. Given this, re-stripe Santa Fe Avenue at Compton Blvd to extend the existing SB right-turn only lane and modify signal operations to include a right-turn overlap phase for SB Santa Fe Avenue at Compton Blvd.  Due to increased pedestrian activity as a result of the project, modify signal operations at Santa Fe Avenue and Compton Blvd to include a leading pedestrian interval phase.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund that will result from the adoption of the attached Ordinance and Resolution. The proposed Change of Zone Ordinance and Specific Plan Resolution establish the zone and development regulations pertaining to development of the subject site 501-545 E. Compton Blvd., 601-625 East Compton Blvd., 112 N. Willow Ave. and 107 North Santa Fe Avenue. Additionally, it is anticipated the Project will increase the City’s property tax base.

FINDINGS FOR ADOPTION OF MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 949 AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM:

1. That in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code, Division 13 §21000 et seq.) an Initial Study for the project was prepared that identifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of the project.

2. That the City of Compton, in its capacity as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed project requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration as part of its environmental review.

3. That the notice of intent along with the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 949 was posted with the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office in Norwalk, circulated for a 30- day public review period, mailed to abutting property owners and posted on the City’s website.

4. That all environmental documents have been processed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

5. The approval and subsequent implementation of the proposed project will not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment with the implementation of the conditions of approval.

6. The approval and subsequent implementation of the proposed project will not have the potential to achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals with the implementation of the conditions of approval.

7. The approval and subsequent implementation of the proposed project will not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable, when considering the proposed development in the immediate vicinity with the implementation of the conditions of approval.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE OF ZONE CASE NO. 2020-004:

1. That the change of zone from Limited Commercial (CL) and Parking/High Density Residential (PRH) to Specific Plan (SP) zone will be in conformance with the existing general plan land use designation of Specific Plan when adopted and will therefore achieve consistency between the General Plan and Zoning map. Further, the Project is consistent with the General Plan in that the new land use designation will be consistent with existing land use patterns of the surrounding neighborhood and the policies of the General Plan including circulation element, land use element including:
 Land Use Element, Goal 1: Revitalize Compton, and create a safe, attractive, desirable community which attracts new businesses and residents of all income ranges.
 Land Use Element, Policy 1.6: Promote quality design in new development projects.
 Land Use Element, Policy 1.8: Use specific plans and similar planning approaches as means to focus revitalization efforts on target neighborhoods.  Land Use Element, Policy 2.4: Create an identifiable Central Business District around the existing government center
 Land Use Element Policy 4.3: Include necessary infrastructure improvements in project plans and funding arrangements in areas targeted for redevelopment and revitalization.
 Land Use Element, Policy 4.6: Allow for integrated, mixed use developments which locate retail and service commercial uses within easy walking distance of the residential neighborhoods they are intended to serve.  Housing Element, Goal 1: The City of Compton will improve the housing supply and the choice of housing opportunities through private investment and, where necessary, through public action and financing.
 Housing Element, Goal 4: The City of Compton will encourage development of a viable urban community consistent with orderly growth and environmental conservation to provide suitable living environments, with access to employment, community facilities, and services.
 Housing Element, Policy 4.1: The City of Compton will reserve the existing residential neighborhoods and provide areas to accommodate new residential development.
 Housing Element, Policy 2.3: The City of Compton will encourage variety in the supply of housing at costs affordable to the various income levels of the population.
 Urban Design Element, Goal 1: Improve the City’s image and appearance through a combination of design guidelines and regulations, public investment, and private incentives.

 Urban Design Element, Goal 2: Eliminate blighting conditions and neighborhood deterioration Citywide to achieve an improved urban environment.
 Urban Design Element, Policy 2.3: Encourage mixed use residential and retail/service commercial developments along Compton and Rosecrans Boulevards and Wilmington Avenue.
 Circulation Element, Goal 6: Encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel as an alternative to motorized transportation.
 Circulation Element, Policy 6.2: Allow for mixed use developments which integrate residential and compatible non-residential uses, and ensure such developments incorporate features which facilitate bike use and pedestrian travel.
 Circulation Element, Policy 1.5: Provide commercial areas that are conducive to pedestrian and bicycle circulation;

2. That the change of zone from Limited Commercial (CL) and Parking/High Density Residential (PRH) to Specific Plan (SP) zone is more suitable for the subject site than the uses currently permitted in that the new land use designation will be consistent with existing low density residential land use patterns of the surrounding neighborhood for the reasons set forth in paragraph 1 above; and

3. That the change of zone from Limited Commercial (CL) and Parking/High Density Residential (PRH) to Specific Plan (SP) zone will be not be detrimental to the surrounding area in that the amendment will combine two zoning districts into one SP designation to allow for coordinated and comprehensive development of the site, which will have positive environmental, economic and fiscal impacts for the community.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF 501/601 E. COMPTON BLVD. SPECIFIC PLAN:

1. The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs in that the Specific Plan will be an implementation of the proposed General Plan land use designation of Specific Plan, and compatible with the existing patterns of zoning, land use and development in the surrounding area in that the new land use designation will be consistent with existing land use patterns of the surrounding neighborhood.

2. The land use and development regulations within the Specific Plan provide enhancements to the use and design of the subject site that would otherwise not be available through categorical Zoning, including the land uses of residential, retail, and restaurants operating by right on the same site. And, the development standards of the Specific Plan that allow a higher density and overall height than the current zoning.

3. The administration and permit processes within the Specific Plan are consistent with the administration and permit processes of the Zoning Ordinance in that the Specific Plan clearly defines what uses are permitted by right and what uses will require an entitlement such as a Conditional Use Permit or Minor Use Permit. The Specific Plan also clearly states which uses are prohibited in the Specific Plan.

4. The Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the neighborhood or result in a downgrade for the community because the Specific Plan envisions an enhanced comprehensive development plan for the project KBK Change of Zone/Specific Plan
September 6, 2022

site, will enhance the neighborhood, and as described in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, will not result in any significant unmitigable impacts on the environment.

5. The Specific Plan will not adversely affect such necessary community services as traffic, circulation, sewage disposal, fire protection, and water supply for the reasons set forth in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Project.

Planning Commission Decision Recommendation
The Planning Commission at its June 16, 2021 meeting adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council deny the proposed Change of Zone Ordinance and Specific Plan. In general, the Planning Commission reasons for denial were that the proposed project will create increased traffic on Compton Blvd., Santa Fe Avenue, Palmer Avenue and the density is too high of 290 units; there is no playground for children; 7-story building is too high; and there are not enough parking spaces provided for residents.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending of approval because:
 The proposed project is consistent with the City’s new Specific Plan Ordinance adopted by the City Council on May, 18, 2021.
 The project site has been vacant for over 15 years creating significant blight and numerous health and safety issues for the community.
 The proposed project will create significant property and sales tax revenue growth, which contributes to increased general fund revenues that can be used for programs and services for the community.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Change of Zone Case No. 2020-004 and adopt the proposed 501/601 E Compton Blvd. Specific Plan.

CITY OF COMPTON

COMPTON ARTESIA SPECIFIC PLAN
27 1. INTRODUCTION AND

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1 1.1 PURPOSE
The 501/601 East Compton Boulevard is a Specific Plan which is intended to establish land use development regulations. As these development regulations are not at this time available in the Compton Municipal Code, the 501/601 East Compton Boulevard Specific Plan introduces them in order to regulate the development of a proposed mixed-use project on City and Successor Agency-owned land at the addresses of 501 and 601 East Compton Boulevard, Compton, California 90220.

What is a Specific Plan?
A Specific Plan is a regulatory tool that local governments use to implement their General Plan and to guide development in a localized area. While the General Plan is the overall guide for growth and development in a community, the goal of a Specific Plan is to focus on the unique characteristics of a special area by customizing the planning process and land use regulations to that area. The authority for preparation and adoption of specific plans is set forth in the California Government Code, Sections 65450 through 65457. The California Government Code authorizes jurisdictions to adopt specific plans by ordinance as regulatory documents. The law allows adoption of Specific Plans as may be required for the implementation of the General Plan.

1.2 PROJECT LOCATION
Figure 1-1 shows the Specific Plan area, which is located on the north side of Compton Boulevard between Spring Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue. The parcels in question have multiple addresses, but they are summarized as 501/601 E. Compton Boulevard for the purposes of this Specific Plan. The 501 block refers to the western block between Spring Avenue and Willow Avenue, and the 601 block refers to the eastern block between Willow Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue.

Figure 1-1: Specific Plan Area
501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
2 1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project sponsor KBK Enterprises proposes a development at 501/601 E. Compton Boulevard which includes the following elements:
• 36,642 sf Compton Innovation Hub and Creative Studios • 8,945 sf of retail uses
• 288 residential units
• Pedestrian plaza (Willow Plaza)
• 407 parking spaces
All uses will be accommodated in a seven-story structure which will be broken up into different vertical modules and which will bridge over Willow Street. The building will have a maximum height of 85 feet, not including mechanical equipment hidden from public view. Massing is oriented toward Compton Boulevard, with lower heights on the south side of the project. The overall building area is presented in Table 1.1, and the planned distribution of uses is shown in Figure 1-2. Construction is planned to initiate in 2022 and complete in 2024.

TABLE 1.1: Building Program
Program Type Building Area
Residential 198,151 sf
Residential Amenities/Services 58,511 sf
Community Serving Retail 8,945 sf
Innovation Hub and Creative Studios 36,642 sf
Commercial Service Spaces 1,263 sf
Total Building 303,512 sf
Total Site Area 92,954 sf
The individual elements of the development are described below:
501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
3 1. Compton Innovation Hub and Creative Studios
The Compton Innovation Hub (Hub) and Creative Studios is envisioned to be a curated space designed to cultivate innovation in technology, arts, and entrepreneurial concept and collateral launches for Compton’s innovators. The Hub will provide learning labs, co-working and product development/“makers" labs, studios, and recreational space for artists, writers, musicians, designers and tech developers by creating a state of the art, high-energy atmosphere for learning, collaboration, and production.

The Hub will be an approximately 36,642 square-foot innovation hub and creative studios located on four floors on the southeast portion of the site. The primary entrance will be onto Willow Plaza at the current corner of Willow Avenue and Compton Boulevard. The design features tall open spaces with mezzanines and partial upper floors, following the models for recently developed technology spaces in Los Angeles Area - Playa Del Rey and Silicon Beach locations.

Building program elements on each floor are envisioned to include:
- Ground Floor: The project includes the development of a ground floor virtual museum and flex space, highlighting the immense talent and creatives that have come from Compton. The flex area will also provide technology components that enable networking events, presentations, small screenings, live performances, collaborative discussions and informal meetings. The area will also include an informational/check-in booth and may include the Hub’s cafeteria. - Second Floor: The Hub will also feature learning laboratories, audio and visual production and control facilities, cinema stage, conference/ collaboration rooms, quiet space/ flex working room, recreational/co-working flex area, green rooms, product entrepreneurial product development laboratories, compact commercial kitchen space and coffee bar. - Third Floor: The third floor will feature an exterior deck, exterior working area, flex space equipped for event activations, screenings, networking, and wellness activities. The area will also provide space for ancillary storage and technology units.
- Fourth Floor: A small top floor is also connected to an exterior deck and may house the Hub’s cafeteria.

The exterior of the Innovation Hub will be a unique experience of outdoor spaces connected all the way up the building with a series of staircases and trees planted on each levels, creating a green extension of the Compton Boulevard streetscape leading to a green roof deck over eighty feet above ground level. The spaces going up the building will be connected into the indoor working environments of the Innovation Hub and provide spaces for outdoor working, meetings and socializing. A mixture of softscape and hardscape will balance space for people with space for vegetation providing shade, urban heat island reduction and reduction of runoff.

2. Willow Plaza
A public pedestrian plaza will be created by closing Willow Avenue to vehicular traffic. This public plaza will become the focus point for the site and the nearby district. The beginning of the Innovation Hub’s exterior staircase will spill out onto the plaza with an inviting and uniquely designed seat stair, encouraging people to spend time, view the plaza and intermingle between residents and employees of the Innovation Hub. The floor of the plaza provides an opportunity for signature public art or other horizontal programming such as small performances. West of the center of the plaza will be retail-adjacent areas for outdoor dining, tree planting and more public art that connects the energy of the center of the development with the Compton Boulevard sidewalk.

The building is proposed to bridge over the central/northern section of Willow Plaza, linking residents on both sides of the Willow Avenue with amenities on the opposite side and dividing the more active front side of the building from the more tranquil, residential and neighborly-oriented north side. The portion that is under the bridge will be well lit to provide a safe pathway for residents of the neighborhood to be able to circulate at all hours. The building will be approximately 25 to 30 feet above the plaza.

Public pedestrian access will be assured through the plaza at all times of the day, but there will be no public vehicular access.

Removable bollards will be installed to permit vehicles to enter or go through the plaza for temporary or emergency uses. The closure of this area to public vehicular traffic will prevent Willow Avenue from receiving the project’s vehicular traffic.

3. Retail Uses
501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
4 Three spaces for commercial retail uses are proposed, both fronting on the western side of Willow Plaza, facing Compton Boulevard on the block between Spring Avenue and Willow Avenue. These spaces total 8,934 square feet and may be used for a variety of commercial retail uses, including food services. Spaces apt for outdoor dining are provisioned between the retail uses and the public sidewalk.

4. Residential Uses
The 501/601 E. Compton Blvd. development is proposed to include 288 residential units including 58 (20%) affordable.

Affordable units will be made affordable to households earning no more than 80% of area median income, with an average affordability of 50% AMI. Approximately 24% are anticipated to be studio units, 36% 1-bedroom units and 39% 2-bedroom units.

All residential units are proposed to be on upper floors except for one short building of two-story loft-style units in the back of the western block. The residential density of the project is up to 135 dwelling units per acre.

The project provides 5,850 sf of private open space, 19,350 sf of common residential open spaces, and 13,000 sf of public open space, in addition to the 8,500 sf of commercial open space located on various roof decks. The project’s countable residential open space, as defined with the standards in Section 4.3.5 of this Specific Plan, is 108 square feet per unit. Common residential open spaces include ground-floor courtyards on the western block, a pool area on the third floor, reading nooks and other intimate spaces on the third floor, a roof deck on the fifth floor in the northwest corner of the building, and a roof deck on the seventh floor over the bridge above Willow Avenue.

5. Parking
The project proposes to provide space for 407 parked vehicles, which is in compliance with the standards outlined in Section

4.3.6 of this Specific Plan.

Most commercial parking (retail and Innovation Hub) is located in a small above-grade garage on the first three levels of the building in the northern part of the 601 block of Compton Boulevard. This garage includes 107 parking spaces and is accessed from Santa Fe Avenue.

Residential parking, and a limited amount of commercial employee parking, is located in a below-grade garage with room for 282 vehicles with use of puzzle parking lifts. These lifts can be operated by residents after a quick training and deliver access to all vehicles without need to move other cars. The garage goes below Willow Plaza and covers both blocks in one level that will be approximately 15 feet deep.

6. Access, Security, Lighting and Adjacencies
24-hour public access will be available along all sidewalks and in Willow Plaza, including the connection between Compton Boulevard and Willow Avenue. The Innovation Hub, retail and residential components of the development, however, will all be separated from an access point of view. Entrances into the residential area, with the possible exception of the lobbies, will have access controlled through gates or other mechanisms.

The development will provide comprehensive, downward-directed lighting along all project edges and in all public spaces to ensure a safe environment while avoiding direct light pollution on neighboring properties. A 6’ solid masonry wall will divide the 501/601 E Compton Blvd development from these properties, and trees will be planted against this wall on the majority of the property line.

7. Sustainability Features
As a dense, transit-oriented development, the proposed development will use much less building energy per capita and generate a much higher share of low-carbon transportation modes accessing the project, including use of Metro light rail and local buses, walking and biking. The project will also include multiple green roofs on multiple levels that will help to reduce runoff and urban heat island effect.

7 2. CONTEXT
501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
8 2.1 PROJECT LOCATION
Compton is a city of approximately 100,000 residents located 10 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles. Interstate 710 runs through the eastern part of the city, which is bisected by the Metro A Line (Blue), with two stops at Artesia and Compton Stations.

Compton is bordered by the City of Carson to the south, unincorporated Willowbrook to the west and north, the City of Lynwood to the Northeast, unincorporated East Compton to the east, and the City of Long Beach to the southeast.

The project area is located on East Compton Boulevard on the eastern end of Downtown Compton between North Santa Fe Avenue and North Spring Avenue, with North Willow Avenue running through the middle. The project area encompasses 2.27 acres (98,893.5 square feet) on 11 commercial parcels (501, 515, 517, 535, 545 E. Compton Blvd., 601 and 607 W. Compton Blvd., 112 N. Willow Ave. and 107 Santa Fe Ave.). Compton Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue serve as the closest major streets, and freeway access is provided to I-110 by Compton Boulevard, to I-105 and CA-91 by Alameda Street and to I-710 by Rosecrans Avenue.

The center of the site is located approximately 0.45 miles walk from Metro’s Compton Station. Compton Station provides allday, frequent rapid transit access to the Los Angeles metropolitan area including Downtown Los Angeles, Downtown Long Beach and Los Angeles International Airport.

The site is currently vacant. Single- and multi-family residential uses abut the site to the north. To the west across Spring Street is a vacant former school building, and to the south across Compton Boulevard are various commercial buildings including a large windowless AT&T facility, a funeral home and a small shopping center. On the east side of the site, across Santa Fe Avenue, are the Salvation Army and a Jehovah’s Witnesses church.

Compton Boulevard is a commercial corridor, with most nearby commercial services provided at the Compton Renaissance Center and Compton Towne Center a 10 minutes’ walk to the west. Wilson Park is located one block to the west. Lifeline Education Charter School and Lifeline Education Middle School are located to the south on Santa Fe Avenue at Laurel Street and Myrrh Street, respectively.

The project site is mostly vacant, exerting a blighting influence on Compton Boulevard and the nearby neighborhood.

Low-scaled apartment buildings and houses, many which have been accommodated for multiple families, are located behind the site.

Across Compton Blvd. is a shopping center and a large AT&T building. 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

10 2.2 DOWNTOWN COMPTON VISION
The City of Compton is currently preparing a Compton Station Specific Plan, which is a transit-oriented development (TOD) Specific Plan funded by Metro covering all land within a roughly one-half mile radius of Compton Station. This TOD Specific Plan has been informed by many different channels of public engagement, including:
• Interactive booths at Compton Open Mic Night, the Christmas Parade and YouthBuild • Video workshops
• Consistent Instagram campaign with over 400 followers • Meetings and interviews with a stakeholders committee The emerging vision from the TOD Specific Plan is to build a better Downtown Compton, restoring it to the role it once played as the commercial, civic and cultural center of the community, and building it into a world-class destination that all Compton residents can enjoy. Key themes include:
• Providing retail amenities and entertainment – places for Compton residents to go • Increasing housing opportunities and leveraging public land for affordable housing development, creating a bulwark against future housing pressures
• Taking advantage of Compton’s immense talent and human resources to achieve economic development for the benefit of residents through cultural production and attractions As shown in Figure 2-2, the physical framework of Downtown Compton consists of three primary districts:
• Civic Center: active, historic, community focus, symbolic • Commercial Core: vibrant, commercial, dense local and regional destination • Historic Core (location of the project): locally-focused, arts, nightlife, innovative, local businesses These three districts will be united through a pedestrian-friendly, activated Compton Boulevard and diagonal connection to the Metro station. Compton Boulevard’s design will need to change in order to accomplish its transformation from vehicular passthrough to pedestrian-friendly, expressive main street for this unique and proud community.

The 501/601 E Compton Blvd proposed development will catalyze this vision for the rest of the Downtown area through the Innovation Hub’s creation of physical and social spaces for Compton entrepreneurs, the addition of affordable housing, and the beginning of implementing a new streetscape and pedestrian environment for Compton Boulevard. It will set the stage for future development and improvements across the Downtown.

The Compton Station Specific Plan is being developed with a great amount of public input from young and old. 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

12 3. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER LAND USE REGULATIONS
13 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

3.1 INTRODUCTION
A Specific Plan is a regulatory tool to guide development in a local area consistent with the City’s General Plan. While the General Plan provides the primary guide for growth and development citywide, the Specific Plan customizes the planning process to enhance and promote the unique characteristics of a special area. This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to Section 65450 et. seq. of the California Government Code. The General Plan is also being amended in order to remain consistent.

3.2 GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DIAGRAM AND ZONING MAP CONSISTENCY As a part of the approval of this Specific Plan, the General Plan Land Use Diagram and Zoning Map are being amended to incorporate this Specific Plan. The current General Plan Land Use designations for the site are GC – General Commercial – on the Compton Blvd. fronting parcels and LR – Low Density Residential – on the other parcels. The current zoning designations are CL – Limited Commercial – on the Compton Blvd. fronting parcels and PRH – Parking High Density Residential – on the other parcels. New General Plan Land Use and zoning designations will be adopted by the City in order to accommodate the standards in this Specific Plan.

3.3 CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES
The City of Compton’s General Plan was adopted in 1990. The policy analysis below describes how the Specific Plan complies with General Plan goals and policies related to the project.

1. Targeted Community Revitalization and Beautification Land Use Element, Goal 1: Revitalize Compton, and create a safe, attractive, desirable community which attracts new businesses and residents of all income ranges.

Land Use Element, Policy 1.6: Promote quality design in new development projects.

Land Use Element, Policy 1.8: Use specific plans and similar planning approaches as means to focus revitalization efforts on target neighborhoods.

Urban Design Element, Goal 1: Improve the City’s image and appearance through a combination of design guidelines and regulations, public investment, and private incentives.

Urban Design Element, Goal 2: Eliminate blighting conditions and neighborhood deterioration Citywide to achieve an improved urban environment.

Urban Design Element, Policy 2.3: Encourage mixed use residential and retail/service commercial developments along Compton and Rosecrans Boulevards and Wilmington Avenue.

Housing Element, Policy 4.1: The City of Compton will reserve the existing residential neighborhoods and provide areas to accommodate new residential development.

The 501/601 E. Compton Blvd. replaces a vacant lot which was previously the site of older buildings which had themselves been vacant for many years. The proposed development is anticipated to be one of the more forward-looking and attractive development projects in the entire County of Los Angeles, signaling a major improvement in Compton’s image that builds upon the community’s existing strengths in cultural production. The development will be centered on a major public plaza at the current intersection of Compton Boulevard and Willow Street with public art, seating and vegetation. A unique staircase with trees and vegetation will lead up along the Compton Boulevard side of the project to a green roof deck at the top. The development will also include several different massing modules and frontage planes, creating a unique and modern statement about Downtown Compton.

Massing and views from the project are intended to focus all activity away from the residential neighborhood to the north, which is zoned RH (Residential High Density) and is developed with a mix of single-family and multi-family apartments. Willow Street will be closed in order to prohibit vehicles accessing the project from using it or residential traffic from accessing Compton Boulevard.
14 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

2. Access to Jobs and Services
Land Use Element, Policy 2.4: Create an identifiable Central Business District around the existing government center Housing Element, Goal 4: The City of Compton will encourage development of a viable urban community consistent with orderly growth and environmental conservation to provide suitable living environments, with access to employment, community facilities, and services.
501/601 E Compton Blvd. is an example of downtown transit-oriented development which places a high density of residences, amenities and jobs within walking distance of the Metro A Line (Blue), which provides access for people of all incomes and abilities to the greater Los Angeles region.

It introduces the first major job center in Downtown Compton since the construction of the Civic Center and commercial centers in the 1970’s. The roughly 40,000 square foot Innovation Hub has been planned specifically with the goal of creating employment, entrepreneurship and business development opportunities for Compton’s leaders in cultural industries including art, film and music, as well as technology. This has the potential to reverse the trends in place over the past decades in which Compton has gained worldwide recognition because of artistic talent, yet has seen profits flow elsewhere because there has not been a business infrastructure for the production and distribution of creative content.

3. Pedestrian and Bicycle Friendliness
Land Use Element, Policy 4.6: Allow for integrated, mixed use developments which locate retail and service commercial uses within easy walking distance of the residential neighborhoods they are intended to serve.

Circulation Element, Goal 6: Encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel as an alternative to motorized transportation.

Circulation Element, Policy 6.2: Allow for mixed use developments which integrate residential and compatible non-residential uses, and ensure such developments incorporate features which facilitate bike use and pedestrian travel.

Circulation Element, Policy 1.5: Provide commercial areas that are conducive to pedestrian and bicycle circulation. 501/601 E Compton Blvd. will implement streetscape improvements that will restore and improve upon the pedestrian-friendly, downtown environment along Compton Blvd. that existed until the 1960’s. Sidewalks will be expanded from 8’ wide to 16.5’ wide, wide-canopy street trees will be planted, and comfortable street furniture will be added. Bicycle safety and convenience will be improved by upgrading the existing Class II bike lanes to Class IV, protected bike lanes. The project also includes a generous amount of secured long-term bicycle parking (1/residential unit and 0.5/projected employee), as well as short-term bicycle parking for visitors. Finally, the Specific Plan ensures that these areas will remain well maintained and secured for the enjoyment of members of the community.

4. Infrastructure Improvements
Land Use Element Policy 4.3: Include necessary infrastructure improvements in project plans and funding arrangements in areas targeted for redevelopment and revitalization.

California Government Code Section 65450 states that Specific Plans must establish “the proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.” The analysis contained in this Specific Plan should ensure that all necessary infrastructure improvements are accounted for in the development. Section 9.3 of this Specific Plan details the infrastructure systems that the development will pay for.
15 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5. Housing Diversity
Housing Element, Goal 1: The City of Compton will improve the housing supply and the choice of housing opportunities through private investment and, where necessary, through public action and financing.

Housing Element, Policy 2.3: The City of Compton will encourage variety in the supply of housing at costs affordable to the various income levels of the population.
501/601 E Compton Blvd will add 288 sorely needed new residential units to the supply of housing in the City and region. Among these will be 58 income-restricted affordable units with an average affordability level of 50% AMI (area median income). Census data indicates that currently 37% of Compton renters are severely rent-burdened. 501/601 E Compton Blvd will be provide a unique type of living experience not available elsewhere in the City of Compton.

84.9% of the City’s housing stock is over 40 years old, and City staff has estimated that 45% of the housing stock requires substantial rehabilitation.1 Recent development projects completed in the City have consisted of single-family detached or attached housing, adding to the preeminence of single-family housing in the City (78% of all units). In contrast, 501/601 E Compton Blvd will provide new, modern, ADA-accessible multifamily housing with amenities including pools. It is anticipated that this type of housing will accommodate multiple types of households, but be particularly attractive to groups who possess less of a need for single-family housing, such as singles, childless couples and empty nesters. 1 Compton 5th Cycle Housing Element, p. 11.

4.6 PUBLIC ART REQUIREMENTS
A. Purpose. Public artwork can add to the community by demonstrating community identity and pride, enlivening the area and providing a sense of aesthetic pleasure. As a result, public art should be included in each project.

I. Whenever the valuation of a new structure or project equals or exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000), the developer of such project shall provide public art onsite valued at 0.5% of the project’s total valuation, or C. For the purposes of this Section, project valuation shall be the valuation of the building or structure as determined by the Building Division for the issuance of the building permit(s).

D. For the purposes of this draft TOD Specific Plan, public artwork consists of works created by artists including but not limited to - sculptures or art installations, performance art, active artist designed landscaping, painting, murals, mosaic or relief artwork applied to publicly accessible exterior spaces, public open space, publicly maintained walkways and transit corridors, facilities or structures that are sited on or near the construction project.

E. All designs for public art shall be submitted with the project plans to be approved with the building permit. The designs shall be approved in keeping with the procedures for the City Arts Commission, if one exists, or otherwise shall be evaluated by the Architectural Review Board. 42 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.DESIGN GUIDELINES
43 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.1 INTRODUCTION AND USE OF DESIGN GUIDELINES
The intent of the following guidelines is to ensure consistent development outcomes within the Specific Plan area that reflect the vision for Downtown Compton described in Chapter 2.

The chapter will be used as a guide for Design Review by the appropriate review bodies (Tier 1 – Community Development Director; Tier 2 – Planning Commission), described in Section 4.1.7, as well as for general project reviews by the Community Development Department. The appropriate review body should assess overall compliance with the guidelines as a part of project review; the assessment may impact project approval.

Guidelines below are organized by functional topics and apply to all multi-family residential, commercial and mixed-use construction.

5.2 BUILDING SITING AND ORIENTATION
Buildings should be located and designed to facilitate pedestrian activity by being oriented to the street and sidewalks.

Entry and edge design features such as landscaping, architectural signage and monumentation, and/or enhanced paving should be incorporated.

Buildings should be sited to avoid random and irregular building relationships, and arranged to create a sense of unity and overall harmony. To the maximum extent possible, new structures should be clustered to create plazas and open space areas and avoid creating of “barrack-like” rows of structures. Where clustering is impractical, a visual link between separate structures should be established. This link can be accomplished through the use of an arcade system, trellis or other open structure.

Existing residential uses shall be buffered from incompatible commercial development to mitigate negative impacts due to noise, vibration, shading, light and glare, and aesthetics. Intensified landscaping, increased yard depths and/or appropriate building orientation should be utilized as a means of providing adequate separation between such land uses.

Discouraged: “Barrack-like” layout Encouraged: Oriented to create usable open space 44 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.3 BUILDING MODULATION AND ARTICULATION
Building design should avoid large monotonous facades, long straight-line building fronts, plain box shapes, and barren exterior treatment. All building elevations visible from a public way should be highly articulated.

Building design should emphasize individual units within a building, larger units and/or anchor stores within retail projects, and foyers, lobbies, and reception areas within non-retail commercial projects. Ways to articulate buildings include giving individual identity to each vertical module by using the following design elements:
• Vary building heights within a project;
• Provide a deep notch between the modules;
• Vary architectural elements between units (e.g., window color, roof shape, window shape, stoop detail, railing type);
• Provide porches and balconies; and
• Vary color or materials of each individual module within a harmonious palette of colors and materials.

Building form and articulation should be used to accentuate public entrances, de-emphasize service areas, and define and shelter pedestrian walkways and exterior spaces.

Buildings with angled corners, plazas, or other architectural feature are encouraged at corner locations to help anchor the intersection. Building corners may be emphasized by use of elements such as towers, domes or entries. Vertical architectural elements such as towers should be used as focal points. Towers may exceed the vertical height limit to the zone by 15 feet, as long as they are no longer than 30 feet on a side and do not contain floor space.

The height of taller buildings should transition down toward lower buildings that are adjacent or across the street.

Horizontal articulation Vertical articulation Corner towers Height transitions between historic buildings (center) and new development (left and right) 45 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.4 ARCHITECTURAL THEME, MATERIALS, FINISHES, AND COLOR There is no required architectural theme for new development within the Specific Plan area. However, it is envisioned that larger developments will use contemporary styles. Original art murals may be used on primary or secondary facades, subject to the standards described in Chapter 7.

The architectural style and use of materials should be consistent throughout the entire development. Differences in materials and details may occur where the intent is to differentiate between the residential and commercial scale and character of the structure(s). High-quality, innovative and imaginative architecture is encouraged.

For remodels or additions, the theme should be true to the original intent and style of the building.

High-quality materials and finishes appropriate to the architectural style, scale, character and design theme of the building should be used. Materials, finishes and colors should unify a structure’s appearance and be selected to work harmoniously with each other. Exterior design and building materials should reflect permanence and quality. Graffiti-resistant materials and paints are strongly encouraged.

Buildings should be treated as a whole and finished appropriately on all sides (360 degrees) to appear integral to the building and avoid appearing “tacked on”.

Material changes shall not occur at building corners. The same material shall continue around corners for a minimum distance of four feet. Ideally, the same material should continue to the next change in the wall plane. 46 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.5 ON-SITE CIRCULATION AND PARKING
Pedestrian walkways to connect buildings on a site to each other, to on-site automobile and bicycle parking areas, and to any on-site open space areas and amenities shall be provided.

All pedestrian walkways and publicly accessible areas shall be well-lit. Lighting should be low mounted and downward casting in a manner that reduces light trespass onto adjacent properties.

Where pedestrian paths or walkways cross parking areas or driveways, decorative and high-visibility paving and/or speed tables should be used to define the pedestrian space and delineate crossings.

When above-grade parking structures are used,
A. They should in general be hidden behind buildings. In the case that structures are located on any street frontage, they are subject to the frontage standards in Section 4.3.7.

B. When structures are standalone (not located within the podium of a building), they are subject to the design standards in Section 4.5.6.

C. The massing and architectural design of the parking structure should be consistent and compatible with the rest of the development within which the parking structure is to be located. Heights shall be shorter than adjacent buildings on-site.

D. Parking buildings should have openings for natural lighting and ventilation and simultaneously encourage a unified aesthetic on the exterior façade. Enclosure building strategies include but are not limited to complete or half-height trailing, spandrels, curtain wall, window wall, living green walls and louvers. Infill walls should have openings compatible in aesthetics with the adjacent buildings.

E. Vehicular access to parking structures should be designed so as not to obstruct free flow of traffic on adjoining public streets. Vehicular entrances and exits shall be no wider than 25 feet and be located so as to minimize turning movement conflicts as vehicles enter and exit the structure.

F. Pedestrian access points to the parking structure should be located to avoid pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.

5.6 FAÇADE ENHANCEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Awnings or canopies over public walkways for storefronts and businesses are encouraged. The size, scale and color of the awnings should be designed to be compatible with the rest of the building; awnings should not be the predominant element of the façade, but should accent the top edge of ground floor windows and door frames. Awnings should not cover the storefront piers or pilasters and should be divided into sections to reflect the major vertical divisions of the façade.

The use of solid roll down security grates is prohibited in any location directly visible to the public, including for primary building entries. Alternatives to solid roll down grates include interior roll down grates, architectural features such as the use of wing walls or landscaping, or other security devices that can be completely concealed during regular business hours.

Patio Dining on private property is encouraged. Patios may face the sidewalk, or face interior courtyards and open spaces.

Sidewalk Dining on public right-of-way is permitted immediately in front of full service or take-out restaurants on streets with a 10’ minimum sidewalk. The following additional standards apply:

A. Display of an outdoor dining menu is permitted on a single-sided framed menu attached to a moveable barrier within the sidewalk or patio dining area. The size of the frame shall not exceed three square feet. Freestanding pedestal menus or A-frame displays are also permitted so long as they do not block pedestrian movement, are moved indoors when the restaurant is closed, and are no greater than 6 square feet per side and no taller than 3’ high.

B. Approval of Encroachment Permit is required from the Public Works Department.

C. Along Compton Boulevard, the outdoor dining area is restricted to the “spill-out zone” as defined in Section

6.3. Along side streets, the outdoor dining area must maintain at least six feet of unobstructed sidewalk. 49 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
Off of Compton Blvd, outdoor dining must leave an open travel path of at least six feet. 50 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.7 RESIDENTIAL OPEN SPACE
Common open space areas shall be convenient to the residential portion of a mixed-use development, separate and secure from the non-residential component, and clearly marked for resident use only.

Common open space areas shall contain amenities appropriate to the project’s size; i.e. pools, and recreation buildings or rooms are encouraged for larger projects. Children’s play areas shall be sited to be visible from residential units and not visible from the public right-of-way.

Accessible rooftop open space may be used as common useable open space by the residents. It may also be used for private useable open space, when the space is directly accessible from the unit(s).

5.8 RESIDENTIAL PRIVACY
Given the presence of noisy roads and rail lines in the planning area, residential units shall be constructed and designed to reduce noise. Proper design may include, but shall not be limited to, building orientation, double windows, wall and ceiling insulation, and orientation of vents. Common walls between residential and non-residential uses shall be constructed to minimize the transmission of noise and vibration.

Residential uses shall be buffered from adjacent industrial uses and off-site parking by a wall and vegetation.

Buildings shall be oriented to promote privacy to the greatest extent possible. Windows of non-residential buildings in a mixed-use development should be oriented to avoid a direct line of site into adjacent residential buildings or property. In mixed-use developments, residential windows should face away from loading areas and docks. To the extent residential windows face the windows of an adjacent unit; the windows should be offset to maximize privacy. Windows, balconies or similar openings should be oriented so as not to have a direct line-of-sight into adjacent units within the development, even if they are one story below or above, or they should be screened through trees. In addition, units above the first story should be designed so that they do not look directly onto private patios or backyards of adjoining residential property or units.

Where a mixed-use project abuts a residentially zoned property, a minimum of three feet of the required setbacks adjacent to the residential use shall be devoted entirely to landscaping, with evergreen trees or an evergreen trellis structure at least six feet in height (exclusive of any planter area curb).

Child play spaces protected from streets
and non-residential uses
Appropriately scaled and usable open

51 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.9 GREEN AND ACTIVE ROOFS
The use of green and active roofs on structures is highly encouraged.

The sustainable values of green roofs include stormwater collection, building insulation and urban heat island reduction.

Extensive green roofs can be used as planting areas, while intensive roofs can be used by owners and as domestic gardens, small-scale food production, and for general recreation. Stormwater drainage from roofs and the surrounding sites can be captured and harvested for re-use in landscaped areas through low-flow drainage systems.

Photovoltaic panels can be installed on green roofs to generate renewable energy while providing shade for rooftop recreation. They can also be used on top of parking garages to generate energy and shade vehicles.

Active roofs provide common open space for residential, office and commercial uses. Examples of active roofs include recreational, lounging and social spaces for multifamily residential uses; residential rooftop pools and rooftop bars. The edges of roof decks that are adjacent to lower off-site residential uses should be located 6 feet back from the edge of the building in order to preserve privacy.

Roof patios used for bars or restaurants should have separate access systems than other building uses. Mechanical equipment, walls or other screening should be provided to inhibit noise from affecting on- or off-site residential uses.

Vegetated green roofs Solar parking garage roofs
Rooftop bar with planters separating habitable space from the edge
52 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

5.10 WALLS AND FENCES
Exterior solid masonry walls shall be faced to complement the surrounding architecture.

Masonry walls of a uniform material shall vary in pattern, texture, and color, and employ elements such as columns, pilasters, capstones, banding, projections or cornices to interrupt the monotony of continuous lengths of wall.

Fences shall be constructed of composite vinyl or wrought iron and include stone or brick piers. Fence colors design shall blend into the landscape.

Fencing and walls should be kept as low as possible while performing their screening and security functions. The maximum height of fencing or walls is 4 feet, except for interior property lines, where it is 6 feet.

5.11 EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Every project should have adequate lighting to provide for security and visibility, particularly along walkways and driveways, entrances to parking areas, and open space areas. The design of light fixtures and their structural support shall be architecturally compatible with the main buildings on-site.

Site, parking lot and building security lighting should not impact surrounding or neighboring properties. The type and location of such lighting shall preclude direct glare onto adjoining property, streets, or skyward. All lighting fixtures must be shielded to confine light spread on-site.

In mixed use projects, all site, parking lot and building security lighting should be appropriately shielded so as not to spill over into or otherwise adversely impact the residential portion of a mixed use development. Lighting on walking and driving surfaces shall be one foot candle minimum.

5.12 OUTDOOR SERVICE, STORAGE AND LOADING AREAS
Outdoor storage and service areas (including, but not limited to, service entrances, loading docks and bays, outdoor storage of commercial vehicles and refuse and recyclable collection facilities) shall be clearly defined and designated for convenient access. They shall not conflict with vehicular access, on-site parking facilities, pedestrian walkways, or customer entrances.

Trash or recyclable areas shall not be visible to the public.

All outdoor storage and service areas for commercial uses shall be located so as to be convenient to the commercial users and where associated odors and noise will not adversely impact the residential units in a mixed use project, or adjacent residential uses.

Outdoor storage and service areas shall not be visible from public right-of-ways and shall be fully concealed or screened from on-site and off-site public view with a combination of building features, decorative walls and landscaping consistent with the architectural style of the building.

6. STREET SYSTEM AND MOBILITY
54 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

6.1 EXISTING STREET SYSTEM
The KBK Development is located on along the north side of East Compton Blvd. from N. Spring Ave. to N. Santa Fe Ave.

Compton Boulevard is a four-lane roadway (100’ ROW, 85’ curb to curb) running east-west that includes Class II bike lanes and on-street parking, and has a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour. N. Spring Ave. and N. Willow Ave. are substandard, narrow local roads (40’ ROW, 24’ curb to curb) with one-side street parking and one-lane in each direction. Along the project’s eastern edge is N. Santa Fe Ave. (100’ ROW, 78’ curb to curb) which is a four-lane, north-south roadway that accommodates street parking and a southbound Class II bike lane. It has a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour.

6.2 PUBLIC TRANSIT
The project is located in a transit-oriented location where substitution of some automobile trips with transit trips is feasible.

The center of the project site is located 0.45 miles away (a walking distance of approximately nine minutes) from Compton Station. The station provides Metro A Line (Blue) service to downtown Los Angeles and downtown Long Beach, each approximately 30 minutes distant. Travel times to Hollywood are approximately 45 minutes via the Metro B Line (Red). In 2018, Compton Station had a weekday average 3,308 daily boardings, sixth on the Blue Line after 7th Street/Metro Center, Willowbrook/Rosa Parks, Pico, Grand/LATTC and Florence.

Compton Station is also the site of the Martin Luther King Jr. Transit Center, which is a local hub for bus transit services, providing connections in all directions.

The intersection of Compton Blvd. and Santa Fe Ave. is served by Metro Bus Lines 60, 125, 127 and 128 as well as Compton Renaissance Transit Lines 4 and 5. All of these lines connect Compton Station with areas further east and/or south. The current bus stop in front of the project site is located on Compton Boulevard just west of Santa Fe Avenue. In keeping with Section 4.5.8, seating and a shade structure will be added by the developer.

6.3 COMPTON BOULEVARD
Figure 6.1 shows the circulation framework for the 501/601 E Compton Blvd site.

In order to implement the community vision for Downtown Compton (Section 2.2) and adequately complement the urban and pedestrian-friendly nature of the project, Compton Boulevard will need to transform from an auto-oriented pass-through corridor to a street that becomes a true destination for the City of Compton and transit users from around the region.

Narrowing of Compton Boulevard between Alameda Street and Santa Fe Avenue is needed in order to create a wider and more pleasant sidewalk in front of new and old buildings.
55 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
56 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
Figure 6.1 shows the existing and proposed cross-sections for the segment of the street between Alameda Street East and Santa Fe Avenue. The sidewalk width will grow from 8.5 feet to 16.5 feet, and the Class II bike lane will be replaced with a Class IV separated bikeway. The bikeway will be separated from traffic on both sides by parking and a small buffer space.

8. INFRASTRUCTURE
71 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.1 INFRASTRUCTURE
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of existing and planned infrastructure facilities, and to outline recommended infrastructure upgrades for the two, city block development known as the “KBK Development”. The recommended upgrades are based on analyses of the capabilities and capacities of existing facilities and projected infrastructure needs based on build-out of the Project Areas.

The City of Compton (City) encompasses 10.1 square miles of land and is centrally located in Los Angeles County bounded by the unincorporated Willowbrook on the north and northwest, the unincorporated West Compton on the west, the city of Carson on the southwest, the unincorporated Rancho Dominguez on the south, the city of Long Beach on the southeast, the city of Paramount and the unincorporated East Compton on the east, and by the city of Lynwood on the northeast.

The City has existing single-family and multi-family residential, large industrial centers for transit and distribution, business services and textile manufacturing and is fondly known as the “Hub City”, established over time in an informal pattern. The City’s population is 95,605 (2019). The project site consists of several lots on the 500 and 600 Block of Compton Boulevard, totaling approximately 2.13 acres of land in Compton, California.

8.2 LOCAL ROAD SYSTEM
The KBK Development is located on along the north side of East Compton Blvd. from N. Spring Ave. to N. Santa Fe Ave.

Compton Boulevard is a four-lane roadway (100’ ROW, 80’ curb to curb) running east-west that includes Class II bike lanes and on-street parking. N. Spring Ave. and N. Willow Ave. are local roads with street parking and one-lane in each direction.

Along the project’s eastern edge is N. Santa Fe Ave. which is a four-lane, north-south roadway that accommodates street parking and Class II bike lanes.

Currently the existing road standards infrastructure
asphalt roads with concrete curb and gutter, concrete
sidewalks, storm drainage systems, some underground
utility systems, aboveground power/cable
TV/FiOS/phone, and street lighting systems. The
public streets in the City of Compton are built pursuant to the “Standard Specifications and Standard
Drawings” dated June 2018, by the Department of
Public Works.

The surrounding City streets should be brought up to
current street design standards including:
• Construct American with Disabilities Act
(ADA) curb ramps
• Close all unused driveway aprons
• Replace all non-ADA compliant driveway aprons
• Provide underground power to streetlights
• Install street trees
• Replace all non-ADA compliant sidewalk
• Remove all utility obstructions in sidewalks to provide ADA-compliant path of travel Compton Boulevard looking east
72 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.3 SEWER SYSTEM
The entire project area is supported by existing City sewer systems. Around these two City blocks are underground sewage systems owned and maintained by the City’s Public Works Department and Los Angeles County (LAC). The sewer lines within the area are mainly Vitrified Clay Pipes (VCP). The sewer mains are all under the major streets with smaller lateral lines connecting directly to existing commercial buildings.

The existing sewer demands are for Commercial zoning coefficients (0.015 cfs/Acre) per Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW)2. The site is 2.13 acres meaning that the total existing, design flow rate would be 0.032 cfs. For new developments, we are expected to use 0.001 (cfs/unit) for the proposed 290 residential units, or 0.29 cfs. The program also calls for approx. 53,000 sqft (1.22 acres) of commercial space which would call for 0.018 cfs of sewer flows. The new project will have 0.308 cfs of average daily sewage flows. This is 0.276 cfs more sewage flows than the current zoning demands (commercial only).

The cumulative sewage effluent by this affected Tributary Area should be calculated using the Zoning Coefficient for runoff provided for a typical sewer area study by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) Land Development Division. The existing sewer along E. Compton Blvd. is an 8” VCP. Using the minimum allowable slope of 0.24%, the design capacity for the existing sewer main is at least 0.27 cfs which is less than the new design flow of 0.308 cfs.

Sewer laterals are sewer pipes which connect with buildings with sewer mains that run in the street. In general, new or upgraded sewer laterals are required for new buildings, with the cost of the installation borne by the developers. 2 “Estimated Average Daily Sewage Flows for Various Occupancies” table, LACDPW, no date. 73 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.4 WATER SYSTEM
The City of Compton Water Utility Division is the sole water purveyor for the City. There are potable water lines under all the streets within the project area with pipe sizes varying from 6 to 10 inches. The existing pipes that distribute water services include Asbestos Cement (Transite - TR), Cast Iron (CI), and Ductile Iron (DI) pipes.

The proposed development build-out will see an increase in land use density, which in turn results in an increase in water demand. Many of the existing water lines in the project area are 8 inches in diameter and above. The 8-inch pipes generally have the capacity to handle the increase in water demand/load under total build-out. However, in order to meet the demand of water consumption, including water services for fire prevention purposes, such as demand of new fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems in the new developments in the post total “build-out” condition, it is recommended older and smaller water pipes be upgraded.

The water purveyor will evaluate future development and conduct their own detailed analysis and will ultimately decide whether the water distribution facilities are required to be upgraded. 74 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.5 STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
The major storm drain systems within the project location are maintained by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) as most storm water flows southwardly down the public streets. The main storm drainage systems consist of underground Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) and Reinforced Concrete Boxes (RCB) ranging from 24 to 108 inches.

There is a major storm drain trunk line, an existing 108” RCB (Line “E”), flowing south under N. Santa Fe Ave and E.

Compton Boulevard.

The City’s Public Works Department is responsible for planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining the local storm drainage systems. Surface runoff along the north-south local streets are captured by City storm drain systems before it reaches Compton Blvd. There are catch basins on both sides of the street at both N. Spring Ave. and N. Willow Ave., just north of E. Compton Boulevard. These City storm drainage systems will probably need to be reconfigured, so they are out of the new project’s footprint.

Approximately 90-5% of the existing project site area is impervious. The new development will not directly trigger any need for upgrades to the City’s existing storm drain facilities, due to the City’s required Low Impact Development (LID) Mitigation Measures to treat and convey stormwater on-site via infiltration, capture and reuse, or biofiltration. This design will be based on the Geotechnical Engineers recommendations for the proposed development, which will stabilize and/or even reduce runoff in the vicinity.

There are currently no recommendations to upgrade the existing storm drain system within the project area.

LID Practices and Project Requirements
In October 2008, the County adopted the LID Ordinance as part of Los Angeles County Code Title 12, Chapter 84 to require the use of LID principles in all development projects except road and flood infrastructure projects. Unlike traditional stormwater management, which collects and conveys stormwater runoff through storm drains, pipes, or other conveyances to a centralized stormwater facility, LID uses site design and stormwater management to maintain the site’s pre-development runoff rates and volumes. The goal of LID is to mimic a site’s pre-development hydrology by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to the source of rainfall.

LID practices or stormwater quality control measures can be categorized into the following types:
• Retention-based stormwater quality control measures
Examples: bio-retention, infiltration basin, dry well, permeable pavement, etc. • Bio-filtration
Example: bio-filtration area
• Vegetation-based stormwater quality control measures
Example: stormwater planter (or planter box), vegetated swale, green roof, etc. • Treatment-based stormwater quality control measures
Examples: sand filter, constructed wetland, propriety treatment control measures.

All new development that requires new grading in the project area will require preparation of a hydrology study to demonstrate that building sites are free from flooding hazard. New development will be required to mimic the site’s predevelopment runoff by choosing the appropriate LID practice most suitable for the site. A proposed project must demonstrate that any proposed improvement, including filling, does not raise the flood level upstream or downstream of the project. As required by the County, developers shall prepare National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) reports, such as the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), to ensure the quality of water is preserved and adverse environmental impacts are minimized. 75 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Southern California Edison (SCE), which is a private utility company, provides electrical power service to the project area.

SCE sets its own service standards, with oversight from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and facility improvement strategies. Currently, there is a network of aerial electrical facilities creating a power grid that supplies sufficient electrical service to the area. There is no major deficiency or functional problem in the power supply facilities within the project area.

The decision to upgrade the power supply facilities
and the number of upgrades to meet the demand of
future development will be determined by SCE in
coordination with the City after developers have
submitted their building plans. Demand for services
and the ability to serve new developments are
generally determined on a case-by-case basis.

Most of the electrical distribution facilities in the
project area are aerial facilities. It is recommended
that existing aerial electrical facilities be placed
underground whenever funding is available.

Underground electricity provides higher reliability, is safer in general and is also less unsightly. One of the potential funding mechanisms is CPUC Rule 20. CPUC Rule 20 is a set of policies and procedures established by the CPUC to regulate the conversion of overhead electric equipment to underground facilities, a process often referred to “undergrounding”. Rule 20 determines the level of ratepayer funding for different undergrounding arrangements.

CPUC Rule 20
Under Rule 20, undergrounding projects are financed by utility rate money, combined rate funds and local tax proceeds, or private funds, depending on whether Rule 20A, Rule 20B or Rule 20C provisions apply.

Rule 20A: Rule 20A projects are paid for by all SCE customers and ratepayers, not just those who live in locations where facilities will be undergrounded. To qualify for full funding through utility rate proceeds, projects must produce a benefit to the general public, not just customers in the affected area, by satisfying one or more of these criteria:
• The location has an unusually heavy concentration of overhead facilities. • The location is heavily traveled.
• The location qualifies as an arterial or major collector road in a local government’s general plan. • The overhead equipment must be located within or pass through a civic, recreational or scenic area.

Using CPUC formulas, SCE allocates rate funds to communities for undergrounding based on previous allocations, the ratio of customers served by overhead facilities to all the customers in the community, and the fraction that customers in the community represent of all SCE customers. Local governments use these formulas to project allocations, which allow them to prioritize projects and develop project schedules. Because funds are limited, local governments sometimes must wait and accumulate their allocations before starting an undergrounding project.

Rule 20B: If an area is not eligible for Rule 20A or if local government cannot or chooses not to rely on the Rule 20A allocation process, Rule 20B allows rate funds to subsidize an undergrounding project. The subsidy includes an amount equal to about 5-20% of the total cost. The remaining cost is funded by local governments or through neighborhood special assessment districts.

Rule 20C: Rule 20C enables property owners to pay for undergrounding electric lines and equipment if neither Rule 20A nor 20B applies.
77 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
It is also worth noting that, prior to any undergrounding process, SCE will take the lead in contacting the other low voltage utilities that might be sharing the power poles with SCE aerial facilities, such as the telecommunication providers (AT&T and Verizon) and cable TV provider (Spectrum) to coordinate and execute a joint trench. During this process, SCE will also reach out to the City’s Public Service Counter for their assistance in contacting and coordinating with the aforementioned utility providers.

It is recommended that prior to approving new development, the City should contact SCE regional manager for the Compton area and set up an inspection at the new development site in order to determine whether the existing aerial SCE facilities in the area qualifies for Rule 20A funding.

8.7 NATURAL GAS SYSTEM
Natural gas is anticipated to be needed for the commercial components of the mixed-use development. Residential cooking needs are anticipated to be met through electrical power.

The Southern California Gas Company/Sempra Utilities (The Gas Company), which is a private utility company, is the gas service provider for the project area. Currently, gas pipelines are in all streets in the area (1” to 8” dia.).

The analysis on the capacity and capability to meet future demand will be conducted by The Gas Company in coordination with the County upon submittal of building plans by developers. 78 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.8 TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
The project area is within the service area of both AT&T and Verizon, both of which are private utility companies. The current local telecommunications appear to have the internet service that will be in demand by future businesses and residents in the area.

The local telecommunication system providers will assess the demand for services and the ability to serve new developments on a case-by-case basis. The capacity and capability analysis for meeting future demands within the project area will be conducted after building plans are submitted by developers.

If there is “undergrounding” of existing aerial telecommunication facilities, SCE will reach out to AT&T or Verizon and coordinate a joint trench. To save on costs, the telecommunication company is likely to participate in the joint trench operation. SCE will dictate the layout of the trench, and the telecommunication lines would follow. 79 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN

8.9 FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM
Level 3 Communications was a multinational communications and internet service provider, the third largest provider of fiber-optic internet access (based on coverage) in the United States. Level 3 was acquired by CenturyLink on November 1, 2017.

CenturyLink’s only fiber optic line in the City of Compton runs along Alameda Street West to Los Angeles and continues along the railroad. It may be possible to negotiate the extension of these lines to the project site given the high amount and industry of potential users.

8.10 CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM
The cable service provider for this area is Spectrum, which is a private utility company. Most of the existing cable TV systems within the project area are aerial facilities that share power poles with the electrical system north of Compton Blvd., with a few existing underground conduits.

New land uses resulting from the project will consist of both commercial and residential development; therefore, high speed internet and cable television services will be in demand. Similar to a telecommunications system, Spectrum will assess the demand for services on a case-by-case basis and ultimately make the decisions concerning upgrades for the existing cable TV systems to meet the demand of the future developments.

If there is undergrounding of existing aerial telecommunication facilities, SCE will reach out to Spectrum and coordinate a joint trench. Similar to a telecommunications provider, Spectrum is likely to participate in the joint trench operation to save on construction costs.

In most cases, if there is an upgrade of facilities required, Spectrum will be responsible for the construction costs up front, and recouping the cost later on with the additional revenue from the added customers. 80 501/601 E COMPTON BLVD SPECIFIC PLAN
