WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: MARCH 21, 2024
SUBJECT: REPORT REGARDING THE CITY’S TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Works Committee will receive and file a report on the City’s Traffic Calming Program and its effectiveness in addressing traffic-related requests and complaints received from residents.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works Committee receive and file a report on the City’s Traffic Calming Program.
BACKGROUND
In 2010, the City adopted a Traffic Calming Program (see Attachment A) in response to the public interest of addressing neighborhood traffic intrusion, primarily consisting of excessive travel speeds and cut-through traffic occurring on residential streets. Traffic calming is defined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers as the “combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized users”. The City expands this definition to include non-physical measures such as educational programs and enhanced enforcement. Neighborhood traffic calming measures are an attempt to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety as well as preserve neighborhood ch aracter and livability. The City’s Traffic Calming Program includes several potential measures grouped into two stages for the purpose of addressing excessive travel speeds, cut -through traffic, increased volume, and safety. When properly implemented, the measures should be effective, self-enforcing, and also generate positive feedback and acceptance from the public. The Traffic Calming Program is a framework and, as such, the program may be modified over time to incorporate advancements in technology shou ld they become available.
ANALYSIS
Attachment J
Traffic Calming Program
There are seven steps to the traffic calming process and are described by the following:
Step Description
1 Traffic calming request is submitted to the City
2 Petition prepared and sent to requestor
3 Stage 1 traffic calming study performed
4 Stage 1 traffic calming measure(s) implemented as appropriate. 5 Follow-up evaluation
6 Conduct Stage 2 traffic calming study (if issue was not resolved) 7 City Council approval (if necessary) and implement Stage 2 traffic calming measure
Once a traffic calming request is received, a Stage 1 traffic calming study is initially performed. The traffic calming study consists of the collection of traffic volume and speed data on the given street and comparison of the data to the criteria in the Traffic Calming Program defining the minimum thresholds for the implementation of traffic calming measures as appropriate. Specifically, the criteria require a minimum daily traffic volume of 1,000 vehicles per day (VPD) and an 85th percentile speed of 35 miles per hour (MPH) or greater. An additional consideration is that if 40% or greater of the traffic volume on a given street block is cut-through as verified through a license plate study or other means, then the given street would also qualify for traffic calming. If the aforementioned criteria are met, the City will proceed with the implementation of Stage 1 Traffic Calming measure(s), which consist of the following:
• Neighborhood Watch Program
• Radar speed trailer deployment
• Enhanced Traffic enforcement actions by the Downey Police Department • Signage and pavement markings
• Semi-permanent Vehicle Speed Feedback Sign deployment
Regardless of whether the criteria are met, staff automatically refers speeding complaints to the Downey Police Department. For focused enforcement against speed violators as well as the deployment of the speed awareness trailer at the given location as an interim measure. The Stage 1 traffic calming measures are considered easily and quickly implementable, and the majority of these measures are relatively inexpensive and do not require an elaborate consensus-building process. Following the implementation of the Stage 1 measure, an evaluation is conducted within six months to determine the effectiveness of the measure which typically consists of speed measurement, visual observations and/or discussions with residents. If the follow-up evaluation proves the measure is effective in terms of reducing speeds and/or cut -through traffic, the process will end. If the evaluation proves the Stage 1 measure was not effective in reducing speeding and/or cut-through traffic, the City will conduct a Stage 2 Traffic Calming study.
Attachment J
A Stage 2 Traffic Calming study includes verification that the residential street in question is subject to the statewide 25-MPH statutory speed limit and the street must be classified as a local road as defined by the California Vehicle Code (CVC). In addition, because some Stage 2 measures may have adverse impacts in terms of aesthetics and changes in traffic patterns, even for the residents themselves, it is at times perceived that these more extensive measures could lower property values. Therefore, a petition prepared by the City must be circulated among the residential properties on the block demonstrating that the majority (75%) of the occupants of the properties support the Stage 2 traffic calming measure and are aware of the aforementioned potential adverse effects that may result. The Downey Police and Fire Departments are then consulted to determine if the proposed traffic calming measure will adversely impact their respective operations. Other factors are also taken into consideration, such as the potential diversion of traffic to a parallel street, which may result following the implementation of some of the Stage 2 measures.
Stage 2 traffic calming measures include permanent physical modifications to the street and, hence, are more expensive to implement. Stage 2 traffic calming measures include the following devices:
• Speed humps
• Speed tables
• Turn restrictions
• Mini roundabouts
• Curb extensions, chokers and chicanes
• Diverters
• Cul-de-sacs or street closure
Physical Stage 2 traffic calming devices should be located a minimum of 25 feet from driveways, manholes, drain inlets, water valves, street monuments, fire hydrants and other appurtenances and should not be installed where they will inhibit drainage, trash collection, street sweeping, street repair, access, visibility or otherwise negatively affect any existing characteristics of the street. Because the majority of the Stage 2 measures are costly to implement and budgets are limited, a prioritization system is included in the Traffic Calming Program should multiple requests be received concurrently. The following criteria are considered when assigning a priority to a given Stage 2 measure implementation:
• Speed
• Volume/cut-through traffic
• Crash history
• Pedestrian traffic
• Unique conditions
Attachment J
Traffic calming requests can be prioritized in other ways as well independently of the aforementioned criteria. For instance, all things being equal, a street with 27% of the vehicles traveling above 35 MPH would be prioritized above a street with only 18% of the vehicles traveling above the 35 MPH threshold.
The final step in the traffic calming process is approval by the City Council. This step is required primarily because of the formal bidding process which would typically apply to the Stage 2 traffic calming measures because of their construction cost. Once the construction cost is awarded by the City Council, the Stage 2 traffic calming measure is constructed. The implementation of Stage 2 measures may also be vetted through the Public Works Committee in order to gain acceptance if the proposed measure is subject to any potential controversy in the community.
Area Example
To demonstrate the implementation of the City’s Traffic Calming Program, City will be focusing on the area generally bound by Suva Street, Paramount Boulevard, Gallatin Road and the Rio Hondo Channel. Th City has received several traffic-related requests/complaints and as such, a combination of engineering- and enforcement-related Stage 1 and 2 traffic calming measures have been implemented recently by the Public Works and Downey Police Departments to address traffic-related requests/complaints as described in the following sections:
Public Works Engineering Actions
Public Works Engineering measures implemented in this area in response to the complaints received include:
• Installation of vehicle speed feedback signs;
• Centerline striping;
• 25 MPH speed limit signs; and
• Supplementary pavement markings.
As an example of effectiveness in reducing speeds, vehicle feedback signs on Tweedy Lane and Horley Avenue have resulted in reductions of up to 18 percent. While the measures have been observed to be relatively effective in addressing the complaints received, a second traffic calming study was ordered along Guatemala and it was determined that speed humps on Guatemala Avenue between Suva Street and Lubec Street may be necessary to address speeding. This measure is currently under evaluation and the next step is the petition process. Public Works staff will prepare a petition and it will be circulated among the residents to gage support for the installation of speed humps before taking additional steps.
A summary of requests/complaints received by the Public Works Department within the aforementioned area over the past four years and measures taken to address the issues is provided in Attachment B and are shown on the location map in Attachment C.
Attachment J
Enforcement Actions
In addition to the engineering measures implemented by the Public Works Department, the Downey Police Department has been regularly enforcing traffic laws in this area. For instance, a total of 161 citations were issued within the past year for unsafe operation of the vehicle, as follows:
• 159 Stop Sign Violations
• 1 Unsafe Backing
• 1 Speeding
It should be noted that a proposed 33-unit townhome development is being proposed in the area, at 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard. City staff is evaluating the project’s traffic study, to determine if any other measures should be taken to address the additional traffic, beyond those already identified in the area. Those will be provided when the project is submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration. However, additional measures can be evaluated in the future as necessary through the City’s Traffic Calming Program in response to requests received from the community if the traffic speeding and cut - through issues persist following the opening of the proposed residential development.

Attachment J
What is Traffic Calming?
Downey residents have expressed concern about speeding and cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. In response to public interest, the city has developed a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
The Institute of Transportation Engineers defines “traffic calming” as “the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users.”
The City of Downey also expands this definition to include non-physical measures such as educational programs and enhanced enforcement.
What are Traffic Calming Measures?
Neighborhood traffic calming measures are an attempt to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety and preserve neighborhood character and livability. In an effort to simplify this program, the City of Downey has presented those measures most likely to be recommended by staff for implementation in Downey. Many measures would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to construct and in most cases come with an extremely high price tag. For simplicity, these measures have been left out of this policy.
Additional measures may be investigated as each specific concern is raised within a neighborhood. In addition, new ideas and the advancement of technology ma y make additional measures available in the future. This program is intended to be a guide for traffic calming in Downey and will be modified as needed in the future.
Measures included in this program are described in more detail later in this document, but can generally be used to address problems with speeding, cut-through traffic, increased volume, and safety. When traffic calming measures are properly implemented, the measures should be effective and self-enforcing and should also generate positive public feedback and acceptance.
The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Process
The Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (Program) is not intended to replace on- going activities to reduce speeding on residential streets. The Program is an attempt to formalize current activities, in addition to providing a mechanism for residents to document their support for both existing and possible future efforts to reduce speeding and cut-through vehicles on their street.
This Program is a framework, and should advancements in technology become available, the Program may be modified to incorporate such advancements.
There are seven steps to the traffic calming process, as described in detail below. The traffic calming process is also illustrated through the flow chart in Figu re One.
Attachment J
Attachment J
STEP 1 — Report the Problem
If you feel as though you have a speeding or traffic problem on your residential street, the first step is to report the problem to City of Downey Traffic Engineering staff at (562) 904-7108 or by submitting an on-line service request at www.downeyca.org . City staff will note your complaint and provide a Traffic Calming Request Form. This form is also available at www.downeyca.org under ‘Government’ followed by ‘Public Works’. Upon receipt of the Traffic Calming Request Form, City staff will evaluate the complaint to determine the nature of the problem, and make sure that the location meets the first traffic calming criteria as described in the following paragraph.
The City will not implement this Program on “arterial” or “residential collector” streets, unless the arterial or collector street is located within a residential area as defined by Section 515 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). Otherwise, staff will refer concerns on these streets to the Police Department for traffic enforcement and/or will address these concerns as part of on-going efforts to improve traffic flow and vehiclular safety throughout the community.
STEP 2 — Project Area and Neighborhood Consensus
After receiving the Traffic Calming Request Form, City staff will review the concern(s) and determine the proper project area. Based on the project area, a p etition will be prepared and forwarded to the requestor. The requestor is responsible to circulate the petition and obtain signatures from 75% of the occupants of the properties within the project area, confirming the property occupants’ consensus of the neighborhood speeding and/or intrusion issue.
After obtaining the required number of signatures, the petition must be returned to City staff within 90 days of issuance. Once returned, City staff will review and confirm adequate signatures have been submitted.
If the petition contains the required number of signatures, City staff will proceed with th e preparation of a Basic Traffic Calming Study. If the petition requirement is not satisfied, the matter will still be referred to the Police Department for focused enforcement against speed violators.
STEP 3 — Basic Traffic Calming Study
Once City staff initiates the Basic Traffic Calming Study, staff will collect vehicle speed and vehicle volume data.
After collection, the data will be compared to established thresholds and prioritized based on severity of speeding or traffic volume. The intent of the Program is to address the worst problems throughout the community through a prioritization of the traffic Attachment J
calming requests received in accordance with the table included under the “Priority” section below.
Thresholds may be adjusted to maintain responsiveness in addressing the worst problems within the community.
The following data will be collected through the Basic Traffic Calming Study:
Speeding Threshold:
If 15% of the vehicles driving on the roadway were traveling at speeds above 35 miles per hour, the street would be eligible for traffic calming.
Volume/Cut-through Problem Threshold:
In some cases, the reported problem relates to the volume of traffic on the residential street, instead of the speed. In general, if the given street has a daily traffic volume of at least 1,000 vehicles per day and more than 40% of the traffic volume on the given street block is verified as cut-through traffic through a license plate survey, then the street would be eligible for traffic calming.
Other Issues:
Some traffic problems cannot be categorized as either speeding or cut -through related problems. City staff will evaluate on a case-by-case basis if a unique issue warrants traffic calming.
Priority:
Streets eligible for traffic calming will be prioritized for implementation based upon the severity of the traffic conditions, taking into consideration the following factors:
speeding, volume, cut-through traffic, crash history, proximity to pedestrian generators (i.e., schools, parks, community centers) and unique roadway conditions. Priority points will be assigned per the following table:
Speed 2 points for each MPH difference between the 85th percentile speed and the posted or prima facie speed limit
Volume/Cut-through
traffic
1 point for each 500 vehicles over 1,000 vehicles per day;
5 points if 40-65% or more of the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on the street is cut-through traffic between arterials or major roadways;
10 points if higher than 65%
Crash history 5 points for each speed-related crash in the past 3 years Pedestrian Generators 5 points for each school, park or trail access, library or Attachment J
(15 points max.) community center along the street;
3 points if within 1 block;
2 points if within 2 blocks
Unique Conditions
(15 points max.)
5 points for proximity to a neighborhood business district or existing/planned transit hub;
5 points for evidence of crashes or speeding, such as long skid marks or broken glass;
5 points for missing sidewalk section;
5 points for unique roadway geometry that substantially restricts visibility;
5 points for a high crash rate
Traffic Calming requests may be prioritized in other ways as well, independently of the criteria in the above table. For instance, all things being equal, a street with 27% of the vehicles traveling above 35 mph would be prioritized above a street with only 18% of the vehicles traveling above the 35 mph threshold.
If the criteria are not met as a result of the Basic Traffic Calming Study, the matter will still be referred to the Police Department for focused enforcement against speed violators.
STEP 4 — Stage 1 Traffic Calming
If the location exceeds the thresholds identified above, city staff will first suggest possible solutions that do not involve the use of physical controls or impediments on the roadway system. These are primarily education and enforcement based measures called Stage 1 Traffic Calming. These include:
Neighborhood Watch Program — Sometimes residents of a given neighborhood contribute significantly to a speeding problem. In this case, a grassroots citizen-driven awareness campaign can be very effective. Through a Neighborhood Watch Program, issues such as speeding and intrusion can be discussed among residents, particularly when local traffic is the source of the concern. Through this forum, such issues can be discussed on a regular basis. In addition, neighborhood residents may distribute fliers among the residents in the neighborhood to spread the word about driving appropriately through the particular neighborhood.
Radar Speed Trailer Deployment — This trailer is a temporary device that is primarily used to inform motorists that they may be exceeding the posted or prima facie speed limit, in an effort to educate motorists to drive in a more prudent manner.
Attachment J
Traffic Enforcement Actions — This is traditional enforcement activity on the part of the Police Department’s traffic enforcement officers. The intent is to modify behavior to result in a safer situation for all drivers and neighbors.
Traffic Signing and Pavement Markers — Traffic Engineering staff will review all of the traffic signing and pavement markings in the area. If necessary, staff will install additional signage (i.e., speed limit or advisory signs) or striping (i.e., centerlines or edge striping) and/or replace faded signs and markings. When appropriate, changes and additions will be reviewed with interested neighbors. Please note that “STOP” signs are intended to assign the right-of-way at an intersection and have been found to be ineffective as speed deterrents and, therefore, are not intended for use as traffic calming devices.
Semi-Permanent Radar Speed Sign Deployment — This is a semi-permanent device that is primarily used to inform motorists that they may be exceeding the posted or prima facie speed limit, in an effort to educate motorists to drive in a more prudent manner.
Report Offending Motorists to Traffic Engineering Section — If residents observe offending speeding motorists on a regular basis, the license plate number of the vehicle can be reported to the City’s Traffic Engineering Section. A letter will then be issued by the City Traffic Engineer to the registered owner of the offending motorist, bringing the matter to the attention of the owner of the vehicle and to urge the owner to refrain from driving at excessive speeds.
STEP 5 — Follow-up Evaluation
After one or more Stage 1 traffic calming measures have been implemented, City staff will observe the area, generally between three to six months after the implementation.
Based on these observations, discussion with residents, and follow-up data collection, when appropriate, staff will determine the effectiveness of the traffic calming measure. If the measures were deemed successful, and the thresholds identified in Step 3 are no longer exceeded the traffic calming process will end.
If the location continues to exceed the thresholds for speed and/or cut-through traffic, City staff will proceed to analyze possible Stage 2 traffic calming methods. In the meantime, the location will be referred to the Police Department for appropriate enforcement, if such enforcement is not already being conducted.
STEP 6 — Stage 2 Traffic Calming
If the Stage 1 measures are deemed unsuccessful, City staff will conduct a Stage 2 Traffic Calming Study to suggest possible solutions to the problem. The solutions could involve physical modifications of the street intended to control traffic speeds and/or volumes. These are called Stage 2 Traffic Calming methods.
Attachment J
Engineering experience and judgment, along with neighborhood involvement, will be a large part of the Stage 2 Traffic Calming Study process. The following criteria must be met before a Stage 2 Traffic Calming Study will be conducted and Stage 2 measures considered:
1. The street must have a posted or prima facie speed limit of 25 mph.
2. The street must be classified by FHWA as a local road as defined by Section 515 of CA Vehicle Code (CVC).
In addition, the installation of any of the below Stage 2 Traffic Calming measures will require the circulation of a petition. If the Traffic Calming Study suggests the installation of any of the below Stage 2 measures, a petition will be prepared and forwarded to the requestor. The requestor is responsible for circulating the petition in the project area and obtaining signatures from 75% of the residential properties within the project area.
The petition shall also demonstrate that 100% of the occupants of the properties located within 100 feet of the proposed traffic calming device support its installation. After obtaining the required number of signatures, the petition must be returned to City staff within 90 days of issuance. Once returned, City staff will review and confirm the adequate number of signatures have been submitted.
Possible Stage 2 measures include:
• Speed Humps – Speed humps are approximately 12 feet in width and vary from
2.5 to 4 inches in height. This raised pavement serves to physically force motorists to reduce their speed. In order to be effective, speed humps should be placed no further than 300 feet apart.
• Speed Tables – These are similar to speed humps with 4 to 6 foot flat sections along the top. Speed tables are generally used at crosswalk locations. In order to make their presence known to motorists and other roadway users , both speed humps and speed tables require the installation of signage and roadway markings.
• Mini-Roundabouts – This device is a raised circular island in the middle of a residential neighborhood intersection. Direct straight-through movements are obstructed by the raised island causing traffic to move to the right (counter clockwise) and around the circle. Yield signs that serve to alert motorists to the need to slow their speed entering the intersection normally control the intersection approaches. These devices are not advisable where high pedestrian activity is expected.
• Curb Extensions, Chokers, and Chicanes – These measures narrow the roadway by extending raised curbs into the street. These can be done at street entries and exits as well as mid-block locations. The narrower street generally results in Attachment J
reduced traffic speeds and provides pedestrians with shorter crossing distances.
These devices are currently in place on Downey Avenue at its intersections with 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets. These devices may hinder drainage and may result in very expensive installations, including the relocation of drainage inlet structures.
• Street Closures and Cul-de-sacs – This is the complete barricade or termination of a street.
• Diverters – These devices are raised areas placed across a four-way intersection that prohibit through movements and force turns at approaches. Diverters can be considered on residential neighborhood streets where excessive/cut-through traffic is occurring on a regular basis.
• Other measures – As a result of new technologies, urban planning, or other advancements in traffic calming policies and measures, additional measures may be developed in the future. If included in a Traffic Calming Study, these measures will be fully discussed and evaluated within the proposed study.
IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR STAGE 2 MEASURES
The following general criteria must be met to consider the installation of any Stage 2 traffic calming measure:
• Installation must not result in traffic diversion to oth er neighborhood streets.
• At least 75% of all dwelling units and 100% of the dwelling units within 100 feet of the proposed device shall support the installation through the aforementioned petition process.
• Devices shall be located a minimum of 25 feet from driveways, manholes, drain inlets, water valves, street monuments, fire hydrants, and other appurtenances.
• Devices shall not be installed where they will inhibit drainage, trash collection, street sweeping, street repair, access, visibility, or otherwise negatively affect existing circumstances.
• Downey Police and Fire Departments must approve the plan to assure that the possible affect on emergency response and/or access are balanced by the positive impact the measure will have on traffic and pedestrian safety.
STEP 7 — City Council Approval
Once City staff and the neighborhood agree on an appropriate solution(s) as detailed in the Stage 2 Traffic Calming Study, the Study and proposed solution(s) will be presented to the City Council for final approval. This process will include a formal Public Hearing.
Attachment J
Funding
Along with the Stage 2 Study, the City Council will be presented with funding options for the project. 50% of the cost for the installation of any Stage 2 Traffic Calming measure will be the responsibility of the affected residents within the project area, with the remaining 50% to be funded by the City. In addition, the City will bear the responsibility of the permanent maintenance cost of the measures.
Funding for the other aspects of the Program will come from general and grant funds and will be included in existing operating budgets. Current budgets are anticipated to cover the initial implementation of the Program.
In future years, increased funding for traffic studies, enforcement activities, and other Program costs will be included in annual budget requests from impacted departments.
As described above, residential assessments will be required to fund 50% of Stage 2 Traffic Calming measures.
Prioritization
For the most part, City staff will evaluate project areas, initiate petitions, conduct traffic studies, implement Stage 1 measures, evaluate Stage 1 measures, and complete and present Traffic Calming Studies to the City Council on an on-going basis.
Should several requests be submitted at the same time, City staff will prioritize requests based on the severity of the problem. As mentioned above, with all things being equal, a street with 27% of the vehicles traveling above 35 mph would be prioritized above a street with only 18% of the vehicles traveling above the 35 mph threshold.
In addition, City staff may consider accident history, proximity to schools or parks, pedestrian traffic, and other related circumstances when prioritizing requests.
As discussed previously, this Program does not replace existing activities and will not limit staff from initiating enforcement or other activities in response to public safety concerns raised by residents.
General Pros and Cons of Stage 2 Traffic Calming
Before the City decides to consider pursuing Stage 2 Traffic Calming actions, it is important that the benefits and disadvantages be carefully considered. While Stage 2 actions can be successful, they can also result in problems more significant than the original concern. This section will describe the general pros and cons of the Stage 2 Traffic Calming tools described previously. In most cases, the benefits are predictable, while the disadvantages can be much more unexpected.
Attachment J
Consequently, a greater emphasis has been placed on the potential problems so that decisions can be made in a fully informed manner.
Benefits
Traffic Calming Measures Often Achieve the Desired Result
Physical actions such as the installation of speed humps, mini roundabouts, street closures, etc. are often times successful in forcing traffic to behave in an intended fashion. In certain situations, they can achieve the desired result by utilizing a one -time capital expenditure and generally low ongoing maintenance costs.
Permanence
Stage 2 traffic calming actions are generally viewed as much more permanent solutions than Stage 1 actions. In most instances, the alternative approach to the desired result involves repetitive and costly ongoing Stage 1 traffic calming actions. There are significant potential benefits to utilizing Stage 2 traffic calming actions, which is why several neighboring communities have implemented Stage 2 actions, with other communities exploring their possible use.
Accident and Crash Reduction
One of the goals of traffic calming is the reduction in the severity and number of vehicular crashes and vehicular and pedestrian/bicycle crashes. Safety can be enhanced through increased driver awareness of other street users and reductions in volumes, speeds, and vehicle, pedestrian, or bike conflicts.
Increased Neighborhood Property Values
There is potential that a well-designed traffic-calming project can increase neighborhood property values.
Disadvantages
Impacts on Emergency Response Vehicles and Response Times
Emergency vehicles will be impacted when certain Stage 2 mitigation measures are installed. The same reason the City would install Stage 2 measures, to slow traffic, is the same reason not to install them, delays to emergency vehicles. As mentioned above, these impacts will be fully investigated and discussed before a proposed Traffic Calming Study recommendation is presented to the City Council.
Attachment J
Diverting the “Problem” Traffic to Another Neighborhood Street
Another concern has been the realization that in many instances, implementing traffic calming tools would be likely to move the problem rather than solve the problem. In virtually all instances, the traffic being controlled by physical traffic calming tools will not disappear or make major changes in its travel patterns. In most instances, the placing of impediments on a particular neighborhood street will merely divert some or all of that traffic to other neighborhood streets.
Everyone is Inconvenienced
Enforcement and education efforts, aimed at controlling speeds or influencing driver behavior, impact primarily the irresponsible drivers - usually a relatively small percentage of the driving population. On the other hand, physical traffic calming measures create delay and inconvenience for all drivers using the particular street.
Benefits Sometimes Very Localized
While speed humps are generally very effective in reducing speed in the immediate vicinity of the humps, they often result in higher speeds between the humps as drivers try to “make up” for the delay at the humps. Consequently, while using the speed humps to lower the average speed, it is likely that the top speeds on the street will increase.
This result has been clearly documented in many studies regarding the use of speed humps or non-warranted stop signs for speed control.
Maintenance Impacts for Heavy Vehicles
Speed humps can significantly increase the cost of maintaining heavy vehicles. While not readily quantifiable, this is an important consideration related to the maintenance cost for fire engines, refuse trucks, street sweepers, etc. This is an especially serious concern for vehicles that will be subject to the traffic calming actions on a continual or repeated basis.
Impacts on Other Road Users
All measures are designed to be acceptably safe for all users, assuming that these users are attentive as they proceed down the street. Speed humps and mini roundabouts are two of the most popular traffic calming measures. Bicyclists can traverse speed humps at typical cycling speeds without slowin g down. However, if the bicyclists is careless (e.g., riding with no hands, not watching the road, no lights at night, etc.), the bicyclist might unexpectedly encounter a hump and be caught off balance.
Mini roundabouts force drivers to the right at intersections, toward (but not into) the crosswalks and pedestrians sometimes feel that their safety is being compromised.
Traffic accidents could increase due to driver unfamiliarity with these devices.
Attachment J
These disadvantages for various user groups need to be c onsidered along with the recognized benefits of overall traffic speed and volume reduction that result from a traffic calming project.
Visual Impacts, Noise Impacts, and Aesthetic Concerns
Actions such as speed humps and diverters most often pose no opportunity for the incorporation of aesthetics and can certainly have negative visual impacts. Additionally, virtually all Stage 2 traffic-calming devices require reflective devices, signs, and striping, which negatively affect the aesthetics of a neighborhood and could negatively influence property values.
Since these devices are intended to pose obstacles to cars, they must be very well signed, marked, and lit in order to minimize potential safety problems and potential liability exposure. While the signing, marking and lighting are clearly justified for those reasons, they certainly negatively affect neighborhood aesthetics.
Noise in the area of traffic calming devices, such as speed humps, can increase due to the deceleration and acceleration of vehicles. There is also usually noise created by the vehicle traversing a speed hump.

Subject:Foster Bridge and Bluff Residential Project
To whom it may concern,
We are the Almazan family living in the island next to the proposed project and we’d like to share our opinion and concerns on the matter. We have lived on Glencliff Drive for the past 27 years and have enjoyed living in this small quaint neighborhood and want to keep it that way. We believe the amount of homes planned to be built is excessive for the small piece of land. This will greatly increase rush hour traffic, which is already bad. The plan is for a gated community, which means we won’t have access to it but they will have access to our streets and leave their excess vehicles in front of our homes. The average three bedroom home has about three to four vehicles. We very much doubt this new community will have enough parking space for their residents. Everyone knows people use their garages for storage rather than their cars, so where do you think these new residents are going to park? Even if restrictions are imposed they eventually end up in nearby streets. We have seen this happen in too many neighborhoods. We hope the city of Downey takes our concerns seriously when making a decision and protects the quality of life we have here rather than the monetary gain for the city.
Sincerely,
Javier and Maria Almazan

RE: Opposition to Proposed Development on Former Church Lot at 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard
Dear Members of the Downey Planning Commission,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed project that aims to construct 33 units on the former church lot located 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard, Downey, CA. While I understand the importance of urban development, I believe this particular proposal raises significant concerns that warrant careful reconsideration.
The conversion of the former church lot into a residential complex of such scale may have detrimental effects on the surrounding community.
The traffic as a result of this development is extremely concerning. The area already suffers from severe congestion during the morning and evening rush hours as the Foster Bridge and Suva Street Bridge is the only route from this area into the city.
The bridge is a two-lane road not rated for this volume of traffic, the wear and tear of the infrastructure is not factored into this project. The noise and light pollution coming from this development will negatively impact the quality of life of the adjacent neighborhood. The City of Downey prides itself in providing a peaceful and serene living environment for its residents and a development of this size will eliminate that for tbd residents of the area known as "The Island."
I urge the Planning Commission to consider alternative development plans that respect the existing community and address the concerns of the local residents. I kindly request that you take into account the voice of the community members who will be directly impacted by this development. It is essential to ensure that any proposed changes align with the values and needs of the residents who call this neighborhood home.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Planning Commission will carefully weigh the potential consequences of this project and make decisions that prioritize the well-being and cohesion of our community.

I am writing regarding the The Lord's Grace Church and the potential building of the townhomes by the Olson Company, I am a resident of the Island and the TLG church is directly behind my home. For the past several months my neighbors and I have been visited by the public relations representative, Diane Ripley, of the Olson Company. Our homes were focused upon because we are within 750 ft.of the potential construction. We were informed that the new townhomes were planning to be 3 stories (which included a garage), would be close to our property line, and would have windows overlooking our 5 to 6 ft. fences. She informed us that the Olson company wanted to help us with our privacy issues.
When these visits first began I went to the planning department and was told by the principal planner, Alfonso Hernandez, that when the project was further along and the re-zoning issue was discussed the neighbors within the 75 Oft. radius would be informed by a letter and invited to the meeting
In January 2024 the visits to my home and fellow neighbors from the Diane Ripley increased. She conveyed that the Olson Company wanted to offer us $2000 for trees or structures to help protect our privacy. Prior to these visits many of the residents told her that we were against the building of the townhornes for many reasons and we were not interested in speaking with her. Shortly after, many of the residents were mailed letters, received Fed-ex letters, and even phorle calls from various members of the Olson Company asking for us to meet with them to see how they could help us. We were very clear that we wanted to speak with the planning department and attend the meeting regarding the re-zoning This meeting has been postponed many times per the builders request.
Since that time many other residents of the Island, Suva Street, the surrounding neighborhoods off of Guatemala, and some Bell Gardens residents have signed petitions and raised many concerns about this project. Some of the' concerns are as follows:
Attachment L
1.Traffic–. Increased traffic during peak weekday hours. Suva now gets backed up and can take up to 30 minutes to get to Paramount. This witt rnean more traffic for the side residential streets off Guatemala which are already impacted. Many of the residents have already requested speed bumps for the current traffic situation
2. Bridge Safety-–Ttle bridge that enters to the Island on Suva/Foster bridge is over 70 years old. When it was originally built there was not as much traffic or heavy vehicles traveling across it. The potential of 33 townhomes can add anywhere of two to four cars per household. That means more traffic and wear and tear on the bridge. Also, we have to take nto account emergency vehicles traveling over the bridge as well as school buses, some which transport special needs children.
3. Parking– The townhomes will be built with two car garages. If the residents have more than two cars or visitors the cars will be parked on Bluff Road and on or near Treasure Island Park.
4. Schools–Traffic to the local schools of Maude Price and Griffiths will be increased. TIle streets in front of both schools are narrow. Many students are dropped off by car or walk. The increase in vehicles and children entering and exiting the school can be dangerous for children and will cause more traffie back during school drop off and pick up hours This project will have rnany implications for the residents of northwest Downey.
Thank you

RE: 7360 FOSTER BRIDGE BLVD-THE OLSON COMPANY FOSTER BRIDGE AND BLUFF 33-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PROJECT -DRAFT INITIAL STUDY
AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Dear Mr. Hernandez:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for Foster Bridge and Bluff Community Residential Project (VTTM 84168) by the Olson Company. The City of Bell Gardens (Bell Gardens) has received the Foster Bridge and Bluff Residential Project IS/MND to authorize a subdivision and zone change for the construction of a 33-unit townhouse development on a 1.291-acre site adjacent to Bell Gardens at 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard. The proposed medium density development would adjoin parcels zoned Light Industrial (M-1) and is near land zoned Open Space/Parks (O-S) with land use designations of Industrial (I) and Open Space/Parks (O-S) along an east Bell Gardens boundary near the Scout Avenue intersections of and Suva Street and Foster Bridge Boulevard.
This letter conveys the requests from Bell Gardens concerning issues that are germane to our city's responsibilities and obligations to Bell Gardens residents and visitors in relation to the proposed project.
Our understanding of the proposed project is that it consists of 33 air-space condominium units within one common-ownership parcel. The site is currently occupied by a church, parking lot, and landscaping proposed to be completely razed to the ground. Access to the site would be from local collector streets, and the site's development is projected to be completed approximately 12 months after construction commences.
Utilities and Service Svstems
1.Please provide copies of "will-serve" letters for water and sewer services from the respective utility companies to ensure capacity and less than significant localized or cumulative impacts.
Transportation/Traffic
2.The project anticipates generating 222 daily trips, an increase of 158 daily trips with 13 trips in the AM peak hour and 17 peak trips in the PM peak hour. Anticipated traffic volumes were calculated based on existing zoning single-family zoning and a lower impact church currently exists. Steps should be taken to address quality of life and service impacts since additional trips may exceed current capacities.
Attachment L
March 11, 2024
o Although CEQA only considers VMT's, we believe it is important to provide a traffic study with new traffic counts to address level of service (LOS) of the following key intersections to address potential impacts :
i.Foster Bridge Rd and Suva St/Bluff Rd
ii.Suva St/Scout Ave
iii.Foster Bridge Rd and Scout Ave
iv.Suva St and Guatemala Ave
v.Suva St and Wiley-Burke Ave
o The traffic study should evaluate current conditions and future conditions, with and without the proposed development.
o The developer's traffic engineer should provide mitigation measures to address current reported congestion issues during peak hours at intersection "i" noted above.
3.Measures to address impacts to infrastructure should be provided. LOS and other infrastructure improvements that may be necessary (based on haul routes or added vehicle trips that would impact Bell Gardens infrastructure). o Provide an analysis addressing the possible need for added signalized stop or traffic light synchronization to mitigate LOS impacts.
Hazards/Hazardous Materials
4.Based on the date of construction of the existing church, asbestos-containing material (ACM) and other hazardous material could be encountered on the site if widely used hazardous materials are present. The project should provide written assurance as follows: 1) should hazards and hazardous materials, such as if soil must be transferred or remediated, Bell Gardens would be notified and measures to mitigate any air pollutant and transport methods would be provided to staff; and 2) a plan to contact Bell Gardens Planning staff should hazardous material be encountered.
Thank you for taking our recent requests for meetings and phone calls. We look forward to working with you to ensure a development that will benefit the region as a whole with minimal to no impacts on the surroundings as well as the future project occupants.
Should you have any questions regarding the above concerns and request, please feel free to contact the staff of the Community Development Department, Planning Division at (562) 806- 7700, extension 7722, or [email protected].
Sincerely,
CITY OF BELL GARDENS

Good Afternoon Downey Planning Division,
Attached you will find over 400 signatures and counting, from residents that live adjacent to the proposed 33 Condo Project. These signatures represent real people that are deeply concerned of what a project of this magnitude would do to our community. The message is clear, we do not want these condos. We understand something needs to be built and based on the writing of AB2011 it clearly states that 'Residential density must meet or exceed specified levels that vary between 10 and 30 units per acre".
As residents of the great city of Downey , you ask us to take pride in our community, vote to make change, and most importantly look out for what's great for Downey. This project isn't it. I can write down 100 different reasons why this project does not make sense, but the reality is the decision is ultimately yours. Every single person on this list understands what's at stake, have threatened to move out of the Island , and have also vouched to vote accordingly in November if this project continues, We need leaders that will fight for us, not the status quo. We need these leaders NOW!
These signatures were gathered both in person and online, Regards,
Carlos Gomez

1)The City is proposing a condition of approval requiring the owner/applicant submit will- serve letters from electrical, gas, sewer, water, solid waste, telecom, and all other utility purveyors that will service the development including, but not limited to:
a)Southern California Edison
b)Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas)
c)Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts
d)City of Downey Public Works Department
e)Athens Services
f)A regional telecom provider
2)The subject development located at 7360 Foster Bridge Blvd. is estimated to generate 10 net trips during the AM peak hour, 13 net trips during the PM peak hour and 158 net daily trips. Estimated future traffic to be generated by the development was based on a multi- family (low-rise) use (as opposed to single-family) as well as the existing church use for purposes of subtracting the existing traffic generated by the site to yield the net new trips.
The addition of traffic generated by the development is not expected to result in the exceeded capacity of any street segments and/or intersections. For example, other than the Paramount Blvd. at Suva St. intersection, which exceeds capacity during peak periods regardless of the traffic related to the development, the Suva St. at Guatemala Ave. intersection operates at LOS “E” during the AM peak hour; however, the addition of traffic generated by the development is expected to result in a volume-to-capacity (V/C) increase of 0.5% only and is expected to add 73 trips per day to this intersection. In order for capacity to be exceeded at this intersection as a result of the addition of site development traffic, a total of 2,885 additional trips would need to be added to the intersection. Each of the other street segments and study intersection are projected to operate at LOS D or better.
A traffic study was prepared to analyze the development-related traffic impacts by the Ganddini Group Inc. dated October 13, 2023 which addresses traffic impacts at four study intersections as well as the site driveway located on Foster Bridge Blvd. The intersections evaluated by the study include the following intersections as referenced in the letter received from the City of Bell Gardens dated March 11, 2024:
•Foster Bridge Rd. at Suva St./Bluff Rd.
•Suva St. at Scout Ave.
•Suva St. at Guatemala Ave.
The traffic volume date utilized in the study was collected on August 24, 2023. The remaining two study intersection reference in the Bell Gardens letter, Foster Bridge Blvd.

at Scout Ave. and Suva St. at Wiley-Burke Ave., were not evaluated in the study; however, given the negligible development-related traffic impacts anticipated at other study intersections, it is highly unlikely that evaluating the traffic impacts at the two additional intersections would change or alter the conclusions of the study.
The traffic study did, in fact, evaluate current and future conditions with and without the proposed development.
Per the traffic study, the Suva St. at Foster Bridge Blvd./Bluff Rd. intersection currently operates at LOS B and is expected to continue operating at this level in the future with the addition of development traffic. Field observations at this intersection were conducted by staff during AM and PM peak periods to supplement the study results and minimal congestion was observed, with vehicle queues on each approach clearing during each traffic signal cycle. However, timing adjustments were made by the City on the Foster Bridge Blvd. approach in order to accommodate the anticipated additional traffic volume on this approach due to the proposed development. Otherwise, no mitigation measures are deemed necessary at this intersection given its favorable LOS and field observations. 3)Based on the traffic study results, little to no impact is anticipated on City of Bell Gardens infrastructure. In addition, the traffic expected to be generated by the development will not consist of heavy or other types of vehicles which would adversely impact street pavement with the exception of short-term construction-related traffic.
There are no significant LOS impacts anticipated based on the traffic study results.
Therefore, no mitigation measures are required at any of the study intersections. In addition, traffic signal synchronization would not apply as a mitigation measure since there is not a continuous group of signalized intersections in-place along Suva St. 4)Hazardous materials have not been identified. However, as part of the MMRP the applicant is responsible for conducting surveys to identify hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead, and remediate as necessary per EPA and SCAQMD standards. This must be done prior to demolition and presented to SCAQMD and the City of Downey to obtain permits.

Re:7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard – 33 Unit Condominium Development (PLN 23- 00035/Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 84168, General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Density Bonus)
Dear Irma:
The following is a summary of our understanding of the land use rights for the property located at 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard based on the current General Plan and zoning designation. The following City Municipal Code-compliant density analysis utilizes State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law demonstrating that up to 52 dwelling units would be permitted without the need for a General Plan Amendment or zone change. In addition, as you may be aware AB 1287 was recently enacted by the State allowing the “stacking” of density bonuses given the provision of the required percentage of affordable units, which could potentially yield a significant number of additional units on the subject site.
The gross lot area of the site is 56,029 square feet. Per SDBL, gross lot area is used for density calculations. Maximum allowable density pursuant to SDBL “... means the greatest number of units allowed under the zoning ordinance, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan, or, if a range of density is permitted, means the greatest number of units allowed by the specific zoning range, specific plan, or and land use element of the general plan applicable to the project.” The Land Use Element of the GeneraI Plan provides a density of 8.9 dwelling units per acre and this is also confirmed with the Housing Element. Even though the R-1 density is one du/6,000 sf, as stated above, when using SDBL, the greatest amount of units allowed either of the General Plan or zoning is used. Here, the project would have at least ten percent moderate income units pursuant to the requirements of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, yielding a five percent density bonus.
The 56,029 sf gross lot area translates to approximately 1.286 acres. Multiplied by 8.9 dwelling units per acre this equals a base density of 11.45 dwelling units rounded to 12 dwelling units as the base density as pennitted under SDBL. With a five percent moderate income density bonus added to 11.45 dwelling units for ten percent moderate income units, this equals 12.02 dwelling units. Since SDBL rounds up, this equals 13 dwelling units.

one ADU and one Junior ADU (“JADU”) per dwelling unit. Applying this, the project site would accommodate 39 dwelling units. Further, in addition to the one ADU and JADU state law permits one additional detached ADU per single-family residence. This would result in 13 additional ADUs for a total of 52 dwelling units, 3/4 of which would be rental units – all using the current greatest amount of density permitted under the City’s General Plan applicable to the site. The total parking requirement under this scenario would be 33 spaces, per SDBL (2.5 spaces per single-family unit) and ADU law (no additional parking required). See the below chart for a summary of this scenario.

Dear Irma:
Attached we have provided an analysis of the current development rights for 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard under State Density Borius Law (SDBL) and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law that would not require any change to the General Plan designation or zoning for the site. We are providing this information to demonstrate that Olson’s proposed development, although requiring a General Plan Amendment and zone change, is consistent with the number of residential units permitted under State law based on the site’s current land use and zoning designations.
As you know, with the much-appreciated assistance of staff, Olson is proposing a well-designed community that is significantly less dense and much better parked than what is permitted by law under the existing land use designations for the property. In fact, the 52-unit development plan outlined in the attached letter only requires the provision of 33 parking spaces, while Olson’s proposed 33-unit townhome community provides a total of 71 parking spaces. In addition, as you may be aware AB 1287 was recently enacted by the State allowing the “stacking” of density bonuses given the provision of the required percentage of affordable units, which could potentially yield a significant number of additional units on the subject site.
We appreciate staffs willingness to review the attached letter as you prepare the staff report for the Public Hearing with the Planning Commission and incorporation of your conclusions related to the analysis as you deem appropriate.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information that would be helpfbl to you.

Assuming the project meets all the qualifying criteria, such as no one living there now, no earthquake fault, no industrial uses, no floodway/flood zone, etc., and there is a deal with the church (which obviously there is), and the project would be 100 percent affordable (low income with up to 20 percent moderate income, and up to five percent housing for the church), the base density is up to 30 du/ac since this is the density that the City uses to accommodate low income housing (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(j)(1)(A)). The site consists of approximately 56,029 sf, or 1.286 acres. At 30 d u/ac this equals 38.58 du for the project site, rounded to 39 du. The project site is eligible for density bonus even though it is on SFR zoned land (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(j)(1)(C). Let’s say there would be 15 percent (i.e., six units) VLI for a 50 percent density bonus, this would equal 20 more units for 59 du. And if there were an additional 15 percent (i.e., six units) moderate income, the stacked density bonus would allow 79 du. As a result, there could be 79 dwelling units with only six VLI and six moderate income units. This density does not include any potential accessory dwelling units.
With respect to other development standards, SB 4 allows one story in height above the height limit in district (but also subject to SDBL waivers and incentives that could allow more height to accommodate the density) (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(j)(1)(A)). For parking, there needs to be at least one parking space per dwelling unit (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(k)), and there could be State Density Bonus Law waivers, incentives or additional parking relief.
An SB 4 project is exempt from CEQA (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(l)(7)). It is also by-right (Gov’t Code Section 65913.16(h)).

DENSITY ANALYSIS OF 7360 FOSTER BRIDGE BOULEVARD
Summary
The City of Downey has received a request from The Olson Company (Applicant) to construct a 33-unit condominium development at property located 7360 Foster Bridge Boulevard (Subject Property). At the request of the City of Downey (City), Sagecrest Planning + Environmental (Sagecrest) has prepared the following density analysis. The Applicant proposed to construct 33 condominium units on the subject site, which would exceed the maximum allowable development of 13 units, including base density and density bonus units, exclusive of ADUs and JADUs. Furthermore, the City’s zoning code does not permit condominiums within any of the R-1 zoned properties. Notwithstanding the density limit, if 100% of the units meet the affordability requirements and the applicant is a qualified developer under SB 4, they could propose up to 71 units.
Background
The Subject Site is an approximate 56,029 square foot parcel that is improved with an 8,480 square foot church. The Subject Site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) and is zoned R-1 6,000 (Single-Family Residential Zone, 6,000 square foot minimum lot size).
According to Downey Municipal Code (DMC) §9312.02, the purpose of R-1 zone is to “provide for the development of single-family residential areas and to designate appropriately located areas for family living at designated population densities. The provisions of this zone are intended to ensure that the residential character of such areas will be stabilized and maintained. They are further intended to provide a basis for the planning of related amenities, such as parks, schools, public utilities, streets and highways, and other community facilities.” Permitted uses in the R-1 zones include single family residences, but multi-family dwellings, including apartments and condominiums, are not permitted.
Base Zoning
Under the R-1 6,000 zone, the property could be subdivided into single family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The calculation of the maximum number of dwelling units under the zoning is as follows:
56,029 square feet ÷ 6,000 square feet = 9.3
Rounding this number down (as a partial unit could not be built), nine single-family homes could be built under the current zoning. In addition to the nine base units, each parcel would also be allowed one ADU and one JADU as discussed below. It is important to note that ADUs are not considered part of the Attachment O
density calculation as Government Code §65852.2(a)(1)(C) and §68582.2(a)(11) clarify that ADUs are an accessory use to the primary use of a property and do not contribute to the allowable density.
Density Bonus
Government Code §65915 et. seq. contains the State Density Bonus Law, which could be utilized to increase the number of units allowed on the Subject Site. Unfortunately, DMC §9512, which lists the City’s density bonus regulations, is no longer consistent with State law and would not be applicable.
To determine the allowed density bonus, we must first determine the base density for the Subject Property. Government Code §65915(o)(6) defines base density as “the greatest number of units allowed under the zoning ordinance, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan, or, if a range of density is permitted, means the greatest number of units allowed by the specific zoning range, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan applicable to the project. Density shall be determined using dwelling units per acre.”
The LDR General Plan designation allows up to 8.9 dwelling units per acre. The calculation of the maximum number of dwelling units under the General Plan is as follows:
1.29 acres (43560 square feet per acre) x 8.9 dwelling units per acre = 11.5 Unlike determining density under standard zoning, when a project includes a density bonus, Government Code §65915(f)(5) requires the City to round up fractional units to the next whole number.
This results in the zoning allowing ten units and the General Plan allowing 12 units. Given the General Plan allows a higher density, the number of density bonus units would be calculated from the 12 base units. The applicant has stated they would provide 10% of the units for moderate income to qualify for the density bonus. Per Government Code §65915(f)(4), they would be entitled to a 5% density bonus (in addition to any concessions/invectives, parking reductions, and development standard waivers). The calculation of the increase in density is as follows:
12 units (base density) x .05 = 0.6 density bonus units. 12 units (base density) + 0.6 density bonus units = 12.6 total units The 12.6 total units allowed would be rounded up to 13 units allowed on the Subject Property.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Government Code §65852.2 regulates ADUs and Government Code §65852.22 regulates JADUs. DMC §9514 includes the City’s ADU regulations; however this code is no longer consistent with State law and would not be applicable. The applicant has stated they would be allowed “one ADU and one Junior ADU (“JADU”) per dwelling unit.” Additionally, the applicant states “Further, in addition to the one ADU and Attachment O
JADU state law permits one additional detached ADU per single-family residence.” Sagecrest notes that this statement is an incorrect interpretation of State ADU law.
Government Code 65852.2(a)(1)(D)(iii) allows one ADU that is within or attached to the primary dwelling unit or is detached from primary dwelling unit. The ADU must be located on the same parcel as primary dwelling unit. The ADU may be rented separately from the primary dwelling but cannot be conveyed or sold separately from the primary dwelling.
In addition to ADUs, Government Code §65852.22(a)(1) allows one JADU per single family residential parcel. The JADU must be constructed within the building envelope of the existing or proposed single family residence and cannot be conveyed or sold separately from the primary residence. Furthermore, if a JADU is provided, the property owner shall live in either the primary residence or the JADU.
As previously noted, State law defines ADUs and JADUs as accessory uses to the primary use of a property and do not contribute to the allowable density. The ADU and JADU would be required to be conveyed with the primary unit of the parcel. These units cannot be used to determine base density and would not increase the allowable density bonus. This distinction is important since the ADUs and JADUs include additional regulations on ownership, owner occupancy, and conveyance of the units.
Nevertheless, if the Subject Property is divided into 13 parcels, each parcel could have the primary unit, ADU, and a JADU bringing the total number of dwellings to 39.
SB 9
Even though the applicant did not specify they would pursue SB 9 application; however, City Staff’s analysis referenced the State Law and Sagecrest would be remiss not to provide additional analysis. SB 9 added §65852.21 to the California Government Code. This law allows the development of two residential units on a parcel zoned for single family residential. SB 9 also added §66411.7 to the Government Code, which allows the ministerial subdivision of single-family parcels into two lot (each with the ability to build two dwelling units). The latter of these statues require the property owner to live on one of the parcels for at least three years and cannot be a party to another SB 9 development on an adjacent lot. Furthermore, Government Code §65852.21(f) states if a property owner utilizes both §6585.21 and §66411.7 to allow four units, the City no longer is required to permit ADUs or JADUs on the property.
Due to these restrictions, it is unlikely the Applicant would have a benefit from SB 9 as it would limit the development to four dwelling units. Notwithstanding this, future property owners could take advantage of the provisions of SB 9 after the Subject Property is subdivided into individual lots.
SB 4
The Subject Property is improved with an existing religious facility, thus would be eligible for benefits of SB 4, which provides a streamline ministerial process for housing developments. The allowed density for Attachment O
projects is the greater of the permitted density per zoning or the density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households (also referred to as default density standards). For the City of Downey, this default density is 30 dwelling units per acre1. Under this scenario, the base density for the Project Site would be 39 units.
1.29 acres (43560 square feet per acre) x 30 dwelling units per acre = 38.7 SB 4 requires 100% of the units, exclusive of the manager’s unit, to be reserved for very-low- and low- income households, except for 20% of the units may be reserved for moderate income households and 5% may be for the staff of the church (Government Code §65913.16(c)(9)). Since the zoning for the site is residential, the applicant would be eligible for density increase permitted under Government Code §65915.
The Project site is not within a very-low VMT area or within ½ mile of a major transit stop, as such would not be eligible for unlimited density. If the applicant provides all the units for either very-low or low- income households, however, they will qualify for an 80% density bonus (Government Code §65915(f)(3)(D)(i)). The calculation of the increase in density is as follows:
39 units (base density) x .80 = 31.2 density bonus units. 39 units (base density) + 32 density bonus units = 71 total units To qualify for SB 4, the Applicant must meet one of the following:
1.Local public agencies such as cities, counties, housing authorities, and other public entities authorized to develop or operate affordable housing;
2.A nonprofit corporation, a limited partnership in which a managing general partner is a nonprofit corporation, or a limited liability company in which a managing member is a nonprofit corporation which, at the time the application is submitted, owns or manages property that has a welfare exemption under the state tax code;
3.A developer that contracts with a nonprofit corporation that has received a welfare exemption under the state tax code for properties intended to be sold to low-income families with a zero- interest rate loan; or
4.A developer that the religious institution or independent institution of education has contracted with before to construct housing or other improvements to real property.
As part of the housing development, the church may remain, or be incorporated into the project provided the square footage of nonresidential space does not exceed what was previously permitted. 1 https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element- memos/docs/defaultdensity2020censusupdate.pdf

At the request of the applicant, the following item has been placed on the agenda for the Planning Commission meeting of May 1, 2024. In accordance with Government Code section 65855, the Planning Commission must take action on this particular type of item before the item may advance to the City Council for consideration. The item was heard during the April 17, 2024 Planning Commission Public Hearing, but the motion to approve did not carry with a 2-2 vote, meaning that no action was taken on the item. The applicant requested that the item be reagendized at the May 1, 2024 meeting.

PROJECT APPROVAL AUTHORITY:
• General Plan Amendment and Zone Change – Government Code Sections 65356 through 65355 and Section 65854 requires the Planning Commission to hold at least one (1) public hearing before a recommendation on a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and a Zone Change (ZC) to the City Council. Downey Municipal Code (DMC) Section 9834 authorizes the City Council to consider GPAs and ZCs upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.
• Site Plan Review – Downey Municipal Code (DMC) Section 9820 requires all new structures and site improvements to be processed and heard by the Planning Commission. Final action is forwarded to the City Council for concurrent consideration as is required, per DMC Section 9802, when any portion of the application is at the discretion of the City Council.
• Density Bonus Government Code Section 65915 allows the applicant to exceed the City’s density, request Concessions, and development standard W aivers dependent upon the level of affordability provided. Final action is forwarded to the City Council for concurrent consideration.
• Subdivision/TTM – Government Code Sections 66452 and DMC Section 9922 requires subdivisions creating five (5) or more parcels to undergo processes for a Tentative Tract Map (TTM). The map must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Final action is forwarded to the City Council for concurrent consideration.
BACKGROUND
Previous Actions
The application was previously heard by the Planning Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting of April 17, 2024. After considering all evidence and testimony provided at the public hearing, and following deliberation, a motion to approve the project failed with a 2-2 vote. A tie vote results in no action being taken; it is neither an approval nor a rejection of the project. A separate motion was made by Commissioner Morales to reduce the number of units to 24 and remove a proposal for the use of tandem parking, but the motion was withdrawn. Therefore, with the motion to approve resulting in a 2-2 tie vote, no recommendation to the City Council could be made. Because no action was taken, the item can be considered again by the Planning Commission. The project applicant has requested that the item be reagendized for consideration.
Under Government Code Section 65855, due to the legislative item being requested, a General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change, the Planning Commission is required to take action on this type of item before it proceeds to the City Council. On April 18, 2024, the project applicant requested that the item be reagendized for the Planning Commission’s consideration at the May 1, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting (Attachment N).
Site and Location
The 1.35-acre project site is located in northwest Downey at the northwest corner of Foster Bridge Boulevard, Suva Street, and South Bluff Road, adjacent to the Rio Hondo River to the south. The City of Bell Gardens is located northwest of the site. The project site currently supports an operating church (“TLG House”). The site is developed with one 8,480 square-foot building, which was constructed in 1959. The building’s floor plan consists of a sanctuary, offices, and classrooms, and since its construction the building has not had any major upgrades or alterations.

the item being forwarded to the City Council. The following describes the associated General Plan Amendment and Zone Change request associated with this application.
The project includes a request to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning designation for the property from the Low-Density Residential Land Use Designation with a corresponding R-1 zone, to the Medium-Density Residential Land Use Designation with the corresponding R-3-O zone, in order to facilitate the development of the proposed townhome condominium ownership project.

Figure D – General Plan (Existing and Proposed)
The current R-1 zoning and corresponding General Plan designation only allows typically for the development of detached single-family residential units at the maximum density of 8.9 housing units per acre, or roughly equivalent to a maximum of one housing unit for a standards 5,000 square foot lot. The proposed R-3-O zoning and corresponding Low-Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation typically allows for a range of housing types that involves densities at 18 to 24 housing units per acre with a 1,815 square foot lot minimum per dwelling unit. The proposed R-3-O zone would allow for the development of attached and detached townhouse R-3-O

design condominium developments, provided the overall density is not exceeded. The R-3-O Zone is intended to provide for the development of ownership type housing in selected areas compatible with the neighborhood environment. Such areas are envisioned as being located and designed to be complementary to adjacent uses and providing sufficient opportunities for home ownership.
General Plan Consistency
The Downey General Plan is the basis for all local land use decisions. State law requires zoning and subdivisions to be consistent with the General Plan for approval. The purpose of the General Plan Land Use Element and Housing Element, two of the seven (7) elements required of the General Plan, is to address issues concerning the relationship between land uses and environmental quality, potential hazards, and social and economic objectives. The Land Use Element accompanied with the City’s recently adopted Housing Element constitutes the City’s official policy for the location of various uses, particularly housing developments, to ensure the City remains compliant with State Law and to ensure the orderly development of the City. A project is consistent with the General Plan if, considering all aspects of the proposed project, the project will further the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment.
As a part of meeting, the required findings listed in the Resolutions (Attachments F, G, and H), must be supported with appropriate justification that the proposed project is consistent with the overall General Plan. In staff’s assessment of the project, and as described in the Resolutions, the policies and goals identified in the City’s recently adopted Housing Element Update are consistent with the project proposal. In particular, the Housing Element states that the City’s role is to facilitate the redevelopment of underutilized sites. This includes supporting the creation, adoption, and implementation of General Plan policies, zoning, and development standards and/or incentives to encourage the construction of various types of units. The proposed G eneral Plan Amendment and Zone Change would fall under this description.
In addition, Housing Element law requires a quantification of each jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need as established in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) plan prepared by the jurisdiction’s Council of Governments. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in conjunction with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), determine a projected housing need for the region covered by SCAG. The City of Downey has a RHNA of 6,525 housing units to accommodate in the current housing element period of 2021 - 2029. The RHNA is further broken down into specific affordability categories. The City is not obligated to build these units, instead the City is obligated for creating the policy framework to facilitate the construction of these units by private or non-profit developers.
The City has designated various sites throughout the City that can potentially accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation of 6,525 units. This list of potential housing sites is known as the “sites inventory.” These sites are to be either rezoned or included in new overlay zones to allow for housing to be built on those sites. The City’s Housing Element Implementation Plan is currently underway and is expected to conclude by Spring of 2025. The “sites inventory” includes commercial properties located along Firestone Boulevard and Lakewood Avenue, among other street segments, and other sites such as the Stonewood Mall and Downey Landing which are located within Specific Plan areas. In addition, Planning procedures such as rezoning and General Plan Amendments are included in the Housing Element’s list of potential actions that may be taken to help facilitate the creation of housing units.
The proposed project, if approved, would reduce the RHNA obligation. However, it should be noted that the subject property for this application is not included in the “sites inventory”, and the Attachment R
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, Density Bonus - PLN-23-00035 May 1, 2024 - Page 7
City did not previously consider the site when planning where to accommodate the City’s 6,525 RHNA obligation. It is also important to note that if sites currently in the “sites inventory” elect to not construct housing then the City is obligated to locate alternate potential sites to compensate for the loss of units that could have been built on that site. This obligation is required per the State’s “No Net Loss” law. Therefore, the project could potentially be considered to be included in the “site inventory” at later time which would require a separate analysis and action by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Within the current Housing Element period, 2021 – 2029, the City’s RHNA obligation of 6,525 has only been reduced by the creation of 17 market rate housing units not including ADUs. Aside from the proposed project, the City has four (4) other housing development applications currently under review. It should be noted that each of the four (4) applications face individual development constraints such as narrow lots which pose site plan layout challenges.
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO)
The proposed project would provide a total of three moderate income units as required per a combination of DMC Article I Chapter 5 (Inclusionary Housing) and California Government Code Section 65915 (Density Bonus). The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) was approved by City Council on April 12, 2022 and the applicant’s proposal is the first housing project to be considered under the City’s IHO. The IHO’s goal is to facilitate the construction of affordable housing units by requiring that a share of the units built are constructed, or a fee is paid, at the moderate affordability level. The amount of affordability units to be provided is calculated at a rate of 10% the amount of proposed units, not including Density Bonus units. The standard only applies, in the case of for-sale, to projects constructing ten (10) or more units. For this particular application the IHO requirement is 3.1 and rounded up to a total of four (4) units to be provided at moderate level affordability. However, via allowances provided per the State’s Density Bonus the IHO unit requirement is reduced to 3.1 units. Further details regarding Density Bonus allowances are provided in the following staff report section. Per the DMC, the applicant may elect to construct the IHO units, pay an in-lieu fee, or a combination of both. The applicant has proposed to construct three units and pay the fraction of .10 of a unit. The in-lieu fee amount to be paid is $25,848.
Density Bonus
At the request of the applicant, the project is exercising Density Bonus rights afforded by California’s Government Code Section 65915. This allows the applicant to construct an additional three units, or 5%, on top of the 30-units allowed per the DMC’s R-3-O zone. Although the 5% Density Bonus calculation results in an increase of two (2) units, the City’s baseline density of
30.82 must be rounded up per the state’s legislation allowing for the additional third unit.
Traditionally, the 30.82 density calculation would be rounded down to 30 units per the DMC.
In addition to the added units, the project is also allowed to include one Concession and various Waivers from the DMC. Specifically, the project is allowed these rights because at least 10% of the units are to be sold at moderate income levels. Concessions are allowed within the State’s Density Bonus Law dependent upon the affordability level provided for the project. The applicant is allowed to request only one Concession because they have elected to provide an affordability level of “moderate-income” for the respective three (3) IHO units.
Concessions and Waivers
The one requested Concession is a deviation from DMC Section 1503(c) pertaining to the IHO.
The DMC details how to calculate the amount of required inclusionary housing units and the need to round up to the next whole number when a calculation results in a fraction. The applicant has Attachment R
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, Density Bonus - PLN-23-00035 May 1, 2024 - Page 8
requested a Concession to eliminate having to “round up”, and ultimately have the inclusionary amount requirement end in a fraction. This fraction amount results in a need to provide 3.1 inclusionary units. Without the Concession this calculation would result in a need to provide four (4) IHO units. Per the City’s IHO, the applicant may elect to construct, all or a portion, of the units or pay an in-lieu fee, for all or a portion of the units. With the Concession, the applicant has elected to construct three (3) IHO units and pay an in-lieu fee for the fractional amount of 10% of a unit, which would be a total of $26,341.
The applicant has also requested seven (7) Waivers from the DMC. State Density Bonus law allows for an unlimited amount of W aiver requests. Per Density Bonus law, W aivers to development standards are limited to physical changes that would help better accommodate all the allowed units on the site. For example, a reduction to setbacks may be necessary to appropriately position a housing unit on the site. The requested W aivers are summarized below:

Site Plan Review
The Site Plan Review examines the proposed site changes, landscaping, and compliance with the Downey Municipal Code. The project includes the construction of 33 dwelling units. The proposed units will be located within four separate three-story buildings, with dwelling units ranging from 1,188 square feet to 1,792 square feet. Each dwelling unit will also include a two- car garage, and either a private patio or balcony.
The project will also include 7,766 square feet of landscape area, 26’ wide drive-aisles, and five guest parking spaces (71 parking spaces overall). A copy of the proposed plans are attached as Attachment C. A summary of the unit details is provided in the table below.

Architecture
The architectural style inspiration for the project is Spanish style. All buildings are designed to be consistent with one another in terms of architectural treatment, materials, color, and interior layout. The units fronting the street are designed to be oriented towards Foster Bridge Road and Suva Street, and the other units are oriented to the interior of the lot. The building materials include sand stucco siding painted white with wood like cement board accents selectively placed along the front elevations. Additional architectural features include exposed rafter tails, corbel trims around the windows, and traditional tile venting. Lastly, the roofing material will be clay tile.

Tract Map No. 84168
A Tentative Tract Map (TTM) is the corresponding subdivision application required for the creation of condominium developments consisting of five (5) or more units. The tract map defines the boundaries of common spaces and privately-owned airspace. Common spaces include the 26’ driveway and 20’ drive aisles throughout the site, common landscaped areas, paths, and guest parking areas. The private airspace areas outline the individual parcels that will be sold separately to individual parties. Each of these airspaces will be assigned an independent Assessor’s Parcel Attachment R
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, Density Bonus - PLN-23-00035 May 1, 2024 - Page 11
Number. The proposed placement of these airspace areas is deemed permanent and may not be modified at an administrative level. Modifications to the proposal would require submittal of a new map and approval from the Planning Commission. The TTM is attached as Exhibit B of Attachment H.
As required per the Subdivision Map Act, the TTM was provided to the Downey Unified School District, Caltrans, and the Central Basin Municipal Water District in order to allow these agencies the opportunity to comment on the proposed map. None of the agencies provided comments.
Park and Recreation Areas and Facilities (Quimby Act)
Per the City’s Open Space Element of the General Plan and DMC Section 9931.8 as allowed by the Quimby Act, a subdivider shall dedicate a portion of land, or pay a fee, for the purposes of providing park and recreation facilities to serve future residents of such subdivisions. If the applicant were to elect to dedicate land, a total of 9,900 square feet would be required.
Alternatively, these requirements may be met by providing sufficient amounts of open space on site via the DMC’s Credit for Private Open Space. However, the project does not propose open space and is requesting Density Bonus W aivers from providing such space as explained in the Density Bonus section. Therefore, the applicant has elected to pay an in-lieu fee. The purpose of the in-lieu fee is to collect funds for the City to later create and expand park lands or rehabilitate existing park and recreation facilities. The total applicable in-lieu (Quimby Act) fee for the 33-unit project is $34,264.56.
Traffic Analysis
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was conducted for the project to analyze both existing conditions and potential traffic impacts. Regarding existing conditions, the TIA finds the intersections and street segments that will primarily serve the project to score Level of Service (LOS) grades of “acceptable” at a C or better, with the exception of the Suva and Guatemala intersection. The Suva and Guatemala intersection scores LOS grades at peak periods ranging from “acceptable”, grade D, to “approaches capacity”, grade E. These intersection and street segments along with their LOS are listed below. In addition, public comment, as summarized in the public comments section of this report and in Attachment K, indicate traffic congestion at greater levels than indicated in the TIA. Staff recently observed that existing conditions resembled what is indicated in the TIA.
However, Staff finds through the TIA that the project is not forecasted to alter the current LOS of any of the intersections or street segments. Furthermore, the TIA indicates a minimal increase in trip generation coming and going to the site. Staff ultimately finds that the traffic conditions are a result of preexisting conditions specific to the nearby area and not a result of the project proposal.
Therefore, Staff is unable to deem the project will create or significantly contribute as a major impact to the nearby area.

Notes:
(1) AWS = All Way Stop; TS = Traffic Signal
(2) Delay is shown in seconds/vehicle. For intersections with traffic signal or all way stop control, overall average intersection delay and LOS are shown.
(3) LOS = Level of Service
Aside for LOS, the site will generate a total daily net increase of 158 trips, with an additional 10 trips at AM peak times and 13 additional trips at PM peak times. This means within any 15-minute interval between the hours of 7am and 9am (for AM peak periods) the highest expected traffic volume will be 10 additional vehicles entering or existing the site and between 4pm and 6pm (for PM peak periods) a maximum of an additional 13 vehicles would be the highest volume entering or exiting the site. All other 15-minute intervals between those times would be less than the estimated peak trips.
Considering the potential increase of traffic during peak times, as well as concerns expressed regarding there being heavier traffic than what was indicated in the TIA, Public Works Department Staff will adjust the timing of the traffic signal at Suva Street and Bluff Road/Foster Bridge Boulevard to accommodate clearing up to an additional 14 vehicles from the queue during any single cycle of the signal beginning on April 15, 2024. The Public Work Department will evaluate the timing of the signal and re-adjust, as needed, to ensure that traffic flow is optimized. In addition to the adjustment to the timing, the traffic signal at Suva Street and Bluff Road/Foster Bridge Boulevard is in the City’s plan over the next two to five years for full upgrade to the signal poles, traffic and pedestrian signal heads, safety lights, controls, and equipment cabinet. The new traffic signal and equipment would result in better operations and fewer maintenance call-outs to replace parts. In addition, a new traffic signal will provide an upgrade to safety with larger, more visible traffic and pedestrian signal heads, and improved signal and safety lighting for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Condition No. 74 (Attachment G-Exhibit A) has been included to alleviate potential southbound queuing at the Foster Bridge Boulevard and Bluff Road Intersection, which will require a revision to the attached plans. As initially presented by the applicant, the project driveway along Suva Street was proposed for emergency vehicles only. With staff’s proposed condition of approval, the driveway will now also serve northbound right turn exits only as well. The exit only will now alleviate approximately 30% of traffic exiting the site away from the Foster Bridge Boulevard and Bluff Road intersection.
In addition to the TIA, Staff also looked at data collected from the City’s Traffic Calming Program.
The program was adopted in 2010 and is intended to layout steps for addressing traffic calming requests and complaints. The steps include the following: (1) Traffic calming request is submitted to the City, (2) Petition prepared and sent to requestor, (3) Stage 1 traffic calming study performed, Attachment R
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, Density Bonus - PLN-23-00035 May 1, 2024 - Page 13
(4) Stage 1 traffic calming measure(s) implemented as appropriate, (5) Follow-up evaluation, (6)Conduct Stage 2 traffic calming study (if issue was not resolved), and (7) City Council approval (if necessary) and implement Stage 2 traffic calming measure. The data generated helps inform Staff of potential improvements that can be made to alleviate the existing conditions.
With regard to nearby intersections and street segments, the City’s Public Works Committee met on March 21, 2024 to discuss the Traffic Calming Program in general (Attachment I) as well as touched on the potential measures to traffic infrastructure on Suva Street and Guatemala Avenue.
One point of interest was speeding that occurs on these street segments. Potential remediations include Stage 1 traffic calming measures, such as signs and pavement markings, and Stage 2 traffic calming measures, such as speed humps and bulb-outs. Following completion of traffic studies for the addition of speed humps on Guatemala Avenue between Lubec Street and Coolgrove Drive, Staff is currently preparing petitions to be circulated to residents along this stretch for support of a speed hump installation project. If the project has adequate support from the residents (75%), the project would proceed as a capital improvement project to take place between July 2024 and February 2025. Traffic issues burdening these street segments are not directly, or entirely a result, of the proposed project therefore any necessary modifications are taken on by the City.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Development Review Committee (DRC) discussed and evaluated the project as it pertains to Planning, Police, Fire, Public Works, and Building and Safet y matters. Each Department or Division evaluated the project and provided conditions of approval in the attached Resolution No. 4025 to ensure the site design features and project have the least impacts to the surrounding community while ensuring that the project meets current municipal code requirements.
PUBLIC INPUT
Public Notices: On April 18, 2024, a public hearing notice was distributed following the exact procedures outlined below, mirroring the format of separate public hearing notices previously distributed and associated with the application.
A public hearing notice was published in the Downey Patriot and was mailed to all tenants and property owners within 500 feet of the subject property (Attachment J). The DMC only requires that property owners be notified, but Staff also provided notification of the public hearing to the addresses located within 500-feet of the project site. Notification was also sent to all interested parties that previously provided their contact information, as well as outside agencies. Staff recommended to the applicant that they install a sign on the property advising the nearby community of the upcoming public hearing, however the applicant opted not to install the sign.
On April 4, 2024, the project was separately noticed as an independent public hearing for the April 17, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. Noticing procedure are identical to the procedures stated above.
In addition, on April 23, 2024, City staff installed five (5), 24-inch by 36-inch poster board signs printed with a copy of the May 1, 2024 Planning Commission public hearing notice. City staff understands that the public has previously expressed concerns regarding the notification of any public hearings regarding the proposed project, and as such the posting of the signs at the project site and nearby area was completed with a ten-day advance notice of the scheduled hearing.
Three of those signs were posted at each side of the project site (Suva Street, Bluff Road, and Foster Bridge Blvd) with the consent of the on-site’s pastor, and two other signs were posted in parkway areas, at the entry points of the Treasure Island neighborhood (Attachment J).
Attachment R
General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, Density Bonus - PLN-23-00035 May 1, 2024 - Page 14
On April 7, 2024, City Staff installed signs on and nearby the subject property in the same manner stated above. The signs were printed with a copy of the April 17, 2024 Planning Commission public hearing notice.
Community Outreach: City staff encouraged the applicant to conduct community outreach, including a community meeting, while City staff conducted its evaluation of the project. The applicant verbally communicated to staff that their preferred option would be door-to-door visits to meet and inform residents of the proposed project. Staff received several calls from concerned residents of the Treasure Island neighborhood. Staff again encouraged the applicant to conduct a community outreach meeting so that the neighborhood could learn more about the proposed design and layout of the project while staff was still evaluating the project. The applicant informed City staff verbally several times that a community meeting was not their preferred option for conducting outreach and that they would continue with the door-to-door outreach approach. After the March 6, 2024 continued Planning Commission public hearing, staff once again met with the applicant to encourage them to host a community meeting to listen and potentially address the community concerns. In late March 2024, the applicant informed staff that the Olson Company (the applicant) held a community meeting at a community center located in the City of Bell Gardens and that several community members voiced concerns regarding the project. Despite requests by City staff, a written summary of the concerns has not been provided to staff. A copy of the community meeting invitation is attached in Attachment O Exhibit A - Items submitted into the Record at Planning Commission April 17, 2024 Meeting.
Public Comments: As of the preparation of this report, staff received written correspondence from three individuals stating opposition to the project due to concerns related to impacts to privacy, traffic, and street parking. A copy of the previous public comments is included in Attachment K. In addition to written comments, a total of 18 individuals either previously provided public comment at a past Planning Commission meeting or shared their thoughts directly with Staff. A general summary of the public comments/concerns received to date are provided below.

• Provide younger and those in need with affordable housing • Will raise the housing stock
In addition, the City of Bell Gardens staff verbally expressed concerns, in January 2024, regarding the potential impacts of the project. City staff requested that a written summary be provided for further evaluation. The City received a comment letter from Bell Gardens on April 16, 2024. The letter is added to the additional public comment letters found in Attachment P. The letter requests copies of utility “will serve” letters and notification if hazardous materials are found on site. In addition, the letter requested that a traffic impact analysis study existing and future traffic impacts, measure Level of Service, and impacts to the intersection of Suva St./Foster Bridge Blvd./ Bluff Road. A response is provided by staff and found as Attachment Q, and notes that the traffic impact analysis covers the items presented by the City of Bell Gardens.
On April 16, 2024 and April 17, 2024, the City received an email regarding a petition opposing the project with 283 of signatures included. The email and petition are attached as Attachment P.
Lastly, the applicant at the public hearing provided 162 letters of support for the project. The letters were not previously provided to Staff, and many are identical to one another with different signatures provided. The letters are found in Attachment O Exhibit B – Items submitted into the Record at Planning Commission April 17, 2024 Meeting.
Alternative Housing Development Scenarios
The applicant has provided Attachment L, which includes a cover letter and attachment letter detailing the applicant’s analysis of what they believe are the residential development rights of the property under its current land use and zoning designation. The applicant indicated that their intent in providing such information is to demonstrate that the applicant’s proposed project is consistent with the residential density currently permitted by-right under State Density Bonus and Accessory Development Unit law. The City commissioned an independent peer review of the applicant’s letters and associated analyses which are included as Attachment M. This information is being provided to the Planning Commission to ensure the Commission has the background necessary to deliberate on the General Plan Land Use Designation change requested by the applicant. The City-initiated peer review memo (Attachment M) provides an analysis of the development scenarios utilizing the application of R-1 zoning, State Density Bonus law and provisions related to allowable accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units which would render a total of 39 dwelling units. The peer review memo further describes development scenarios using SB9 or SB4 provisions, if the low-density land use designation and single-family (R-1) zoning would remained unchanged.
The applicant also provided within Attachment L, a summary that describes the potential development of the site using SB 4 provisions. The City’s commissioned peer review memo summarizes that such development would require that the project meet very specific criteria regarding the provision of a very high percentage of housing unit affordability levels and the applicability of prevailing wages requirements.

The Planning Commission has been provided with three Resolutions (Attachments F, G, and H) for consideration which describes the merits of the project being proposed, with the applicant’s request for a General Plan Amendment and Zone change to allow a medium density project (MDR) land use designation with the corresponding zone (R-3-O). For clarity, the applicant’s proposal does not include a proposal to develop the site utilizing R-1 or low-density standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared and made available for a thirty (30) day public review period November 22, 2023 to December 22, 2023. The following comments were submitted to the City of Downey during the public review period:
1. Patricia Horsley – Environmental Planner, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, December 13, 2023
2. Lourdes Almazan – Glencliff Drive Resident, November 28, 2023
A copy of the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and Comments/Response to Comments and errata are attached as Exhibit A of Attachment E.
The public comments and responses are available for decision-makers for their review and consideration prior to making their decision whether to approve the proposed project. Although the State Guidelines Section 15088 does not require a City to prepare writt en responses to the comments received, the City elected to prepare written responses with the intent of providing a comprehensive and meaningful evaluation of the proposed project.
Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines:
• None of the comments provide substantial evidence that the Project will have significant environmental effects which would require preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. • None of the information in the letters or responses constitute the type of significant new information that requires recirculation of the MND for further public review under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5 Recirculation of a Negative Declaration Prior to Adoption.
• None of this new material indicates that the Project will result in a significant new environmental impact not previously disclosed in the Project MND. • None of this information indicates that there would be a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified environmental impact that will not be mitigated, or that there would be any of the other circumstances requiring recirculation described in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5.
The draft Mitigated Negative Declaration found potentially significant impacts of (1) Aesthetics (2) Biological Resources (3) Cultural Resources (4) Geology and Soils (5) Hazards and Hazardous Materials, (6) Noise and (6) Tribal Cultural Resources. However, no impacts would be generated as they relate to greenhouse gases, land use/planning, population/housing, traffic, agriculture, mineral resources, public services/recreation, utilities, air quality, water quality, and wildfires.
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there would be no significant effect in this case because mitigation measures have been prepared a nd incorporated into Resolution No. 24-4024. An MND was prepared and with the inclusion of the Attachment R

proposed mitigation measures as described in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) adverse impacts are mitigated to the maximum extent feasible and below a level of significance.
Tribal Consultation
The IS/MND included a preliminary draft historical/archaeological resources survey memorandum as Appendix C-1. This report was considered preliminary as it did not contain a formal written response from the State Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) regarding cultural resources listed in their archives. However, the City did receive extensive information on local archaeological/Native American tribal resources from Gabrieleno tribal representatives during the City’s Native American Consultation Process per SB 18 and AB 52, as outlined in Sections 4.5 and 4.18 of the IS/MND. On December 6, 2023, Appendix C-1 was revised to include a final historical/archaeological resources survey report which included NAHC archival information. This additional information supports the analysis and conclusions in the IS/MND that the site and immediate surrounding area do not contain identified historical or cultural resources or artifacts.
However, information from local tribal representatives still indicates Native American tribal resources may be present in the project area. Therefore, the IS/MND recommended Mitigation Measures CUL-1 to retain a project archaeologist and TCR-1 through TCR-3 as recommended by the Gabrieleno tribe in their consultation with the City to address tribal monitoring of grading, disposition of unanticipated resources during grading, and treating human remains if found during grading. The additional information in the revised Appendix C-1 does not change the analysis, conclusions, or mitigation in the IS/MND.
CONCLUSION
The Planning Commission is advised to listen to staff’s and the applicant’s presentations, open the public hearing, take public testimony, and deliberate on the merits of the proposed project and staff’s analysis as further described in the three Resolutions (No.24-1024, 24-4025, 24-4026). As proposed and with staff’s recommended conditions of approval, the project complies with the goals, policies, and programs outlined in the City’s General Plan and Housing Element. Findings to support the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Site Plan Review, and Tentative Tract Map (PLN-23-00035) have been included in the Planning Commission Resolutions Nos. 24-4024, 24-4025, and 24-4026. Furthermore, staff is concluding that all findings required for a recommendation of approval can be made in a positive manner. As such, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the application (PLN-23- 00035). The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
