33 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 the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), th e 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 Earthwork Shoring/Excavation, Concrete Pours for Mat Foundation, Concrete Pours for Decks, and Tower Crane Erection/Disassembly. 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, 7:00 am instead of 9:00 am on Saturdays, and 7:00 am instead 10:00 am on Sundays. Mitigation measures were included in the EIR to reduce impacts. The extension of construction time by 1 to 3 hours in the morning would reduce the overall construction time period by 60 days.
B. The construction activity is of limited duration.
The Applicant is proposing to increase construction hours as follows:

33 D. The construction site is one or more acres.
The construction site totals 2.23 acres.
E. The extended construction hours request is made in conjunction with a land use permit.
This request is made in conjunction with a request for General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments, a Comprehensive Plan, and a Density and Other Bonus Incentives.
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.
The proposed extension of hours detailed in Finding B above would allow construction in an effective and efficient way resulting in a 60 -day reduction of overall construction. A Project Condition requires the City review and approve a Construction Management Plan that will stipulate construction workers 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 all Project conditions and all applicable regulations and will not interfere or adversely impact other activities/uses surrounding the Project Site pursuant to Project technical studies. Nuisance factors such as noise and traffic impacts to adjacent properties were analyzed in the Project EIR and mitigate d where possible. The extension of the construction hours would reduce overall construction time by 60 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 pl ans 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.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the foregoing recitations and findings, the City Council of the City of Culver City, California, hereby approves the Extended Construction Hours request subject to mitigations listed in a separate resolution certifying the Project’s EIR and conditions of approval/code requirements listed in the ordinance adopting the Comprehensive Plan/Planned Development 18.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 11th day of November 2024.
