33 4 to 0, recommended to the City Council approval of the Extended Construction Hours; as set forth herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA, RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to the foregoing recitations and the provisions of Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), the following findings are hereby made pursuant to CCMC Section
9.07.035.C:
A. The construction activity is of a specific nature.
The proposed construction activities are consistent with the type of construction activities that would be permissible during normal construction hours pursuant to the CCMC. The construction activities that would occur during the extended hours would be of a specific nature, limited to concrete pours (concrete mat foundation and decking and columns) and grading and excavation (site preparation) . An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the property which disclosed that significant construction noise impacts would occur with or without the extended construction hours commencing at 7:00 am instead of 8:00 a.m. on weekdays. Mitigation measures were included in the EIR to reduce impacts. The extension of construction hours by one hour would reduce the overall construction time period by 30 days.
B. The construction activity is of limited duration.
The Applicant is proposing to increase daily construction hours, Monday through Friday, for the duration of the construction by one additional hour on weekdays starting at 7:00 am rather than 8:00 am. The extension of the construction hours would reduce overall construction time by 30 days, reducing the time period where impacts to the neighboring properties would occur.
C. The construction activity is occurring in a non-residential zone.
The construction activity will occur in a Planned Development zone that does not include residential uses.
D. The construction site is one or more acres.
The construction site totals 4.46 acres, with 1.63 acres located in Culver City.
E. The extended construction hours request is made in conjunction with a land use permit.

33 This request is made in conjunction with a request for a Zoning Map Amendment and a Comprehensive Plan.
F. It is in the public interest to allow for extended construction hours.
The proposed extended hours would coordinate construction hours across the entire Project site. A portion of the Project is located within the City of Los Angeles where the start time for construction is 7:00 am. The proposed extension of hours to commence at 7:00 am on Monday through Friday, rather than 8 am, would allow construction of both portions of the Project in an effective and efficient way and reduce the overall construction time period by 30 days. A Construction Management Plan will be provided for the project. Project construction workers will park at approved off site locations. This construction parking related condition will be followed during extended construction hours. The construction activity/hours will comply with the Project conditions and all applicable regulations and will not interfere or adversely impact other activities/uses surrounding the Property pursuant to the technical studies. Nuisance factors such as noise and traffic impacts to adjacent properties were analyzed in the Project EIR and mitigated where possible. There are construction impacts that cannot be mitigated including air quality, noise, vibration. The proposed extension of construction hours , allowing for one additional hour every weekday, does not cause these significant and unavoidable impacts , which would be present even without extended hours . The extension of the construction hours would reduce overall con struction time by 30 days, reducing the time period where impacts to the neighboring properties would occur. The Project conditions apply to the extended hours and the Public Works Department will review and approve a Construction Management Plan, Pedestrian Protection Plan, and Construction Traffic Management Plan to adequately address potential impacts from the increased hours. Any proposed revisions to these construction plans will require Public Works Engineering Division and the Current Planning Division approval. The City may impose additional measures including construction signage informing the public of extended construction hours, increased sound attenuation, and added traffic control construction personnel.
