TO BE PROCLAIMED ONLY
““ BB LL AA CC KK HH II SS TT OO RR YY MM OO NN TT HH ””
~~ FFeebbrruuaarryy 22002255 ~~
Black History Month is observed nation -wide during February each year to recognize the past achievements and current status of African Americans in our Country, as it coincides with the birthday of Frederick Douglass on February 14 and the birthday of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on February 12. The observance was officially established as Black History Month in February 1976.
The Gardena Hollypark Youth Affairs Alliance initiated the observance of Black History Month in our community as part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. birthday commemorative activities, in the belief that “the role of history in the life of a people is to give them a kind of measurement as to where they have been and where they are now; and if they understand history correctly, they will have some definition of what they must become.”
Gardena’s annual activities include the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Parade, which will take place on the morning of Saturday, February 22, 2025, followed by the “Battle of the Bands” Celebration at Rowley Park . These events provide the community with an opportunity to reflect on the strengths of Black heritage and family lifestyles, as well as providing African American citizens with a positive sense of racial identity.
Therefore, I, TASHA CERDA, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, do hereby proclaim FF EE BB RR UU AA RR YY 22 00 22 55 to be
in the City of Gardena and encourage all citizens to highlight those who have been an inspiration within and to our community and who continue to make the world a more equal and just place for future generations.

21. CITY MANAGER REMARKS RE: DIRECTIVES / COUNCIL ITEMS - None
22. COUNCIL REMARKS
1) MAYOR PRO TEM TANAKA – He thanked all the Firefighters, all the Police Officers, and all the First Responders for their help with the fires. We thank you for your service. He attended the retirement celebration for Captain Osorio for his 30 years of service, a well- deserved retirement, he's joined the e veryday Saturday club, and he's one of his guys.
He went to GTrans Master Grill; Greg sorry you lost, but you can try again next year. He attended the Crenshaw Lumber 75th-anniversary celebration hosted by the Olson family; it was a great event. He participated in the Police Department Foundation S hop with a Cop at Target, a lot of happy faces in fact, they were on Channel 5 or 7. Out of respect for the 39th president, they canceled the South Bay CCOG Legislative briefing. They did have a Steering Committee meeting, and they had the City Health Fair. He attended the Police Department's blood drive challenge, hopefully we win again this year. He attended the South Bay Communications Board meeting, the CCOG Board meeting, and he had a town hall meeting this morning with the Normandie project residents.
9 2) COUNCIL MEMBER LOVE – She would love to say that she attended a lot of events but since the allegations came out against her, she made the decision to avoid city events, the few events that she did attend were during the holidays. She attended the Grand Opening of the Carniceria Mexican market on Western. She attended one Jolly Trolley.
She attended the tree lighting early and left early, and she is choosing to limit her attendance at these events, since these accusations are so harsh and she just doesn’t understand how the employees can be intimidated by her behavior but she is intimidated by their accusations towards her because that's what's leading her to not attend these events and after this resolution pretty much not being able to do her job.
3) COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS - She didn't attend a lot of events this month, but first, as shared, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Culture Committee holds an annual essay contest for students who either attend the Gardena area school or live in the City of Gardena.
She announced the winners, she wanted to present them here at this City Council meeting, but she couldn’t get the names on time, so on February 11th she would like to present them at our next council meeting and present their certificates as well. Just so you know the first -place winner is Bianca Magnifico from Gardena High School, the second-place winner is Kayd en Moore from Serra High School, and the third- place winner is Giana Streeter from Gardena High School. They wrote an essay on the topic “Has Dr. Martin Luther King's dream been fulfilled”, and she read every essay that came through as well as the committee members and she has to say our young people are watching and they have some interesting viewpoints. Most said kind of sort of, yes maybe, some just say straight out no, and it’s very interesting. Having said that, as you all know our January 18th Dr. King celebration parade had to be postponed because of the air quality and it's been moved to February 22nd, so hopefully you can mark that on your calendars, last Saturday in February. We’ll have our annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative parade. A.C. Green is our Grand Marshall , as you know he played basketball for many years , and our community Grand Marshall is Senator Emeritus Steven Bradford, who grew up in the City of Gardena serving on the City Council, went onto becoming an Assembly Member, and then became a Senator, and has also made many contributions to our city as well. Also, our hometown hero is a young man who also grew up here in Gardena, and attends UCLA, the basketball player's name is Dylan Andrews he hosted a basketball clinic here not too long ago, and he gave away laptops to many of the students, to many kids who participated, so he's our hometown hero. So again, mark your calendar February 22nd is our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative parade. Unless something else happens, she hopes to see you all there.
One of the hallmarks of our democracy whether you’re elected official or resident constituent is your freedom of speech and being able to voice your concerns or your opinions and have your voice heard even with the disagreement of not liking what was said or the tone she’s concerned at this point of what's going on here. She’s concerned that there's no arena, no protocol just to have a discussion because she has to say when you stop talking to each other we're in trouble.
4) MAYOR CERDA - Since the last Council Meeting, she attended Captain Osorio's retirement Ceremony and attended a Grand Opening of a dessert, and sandwich shop called Neveria y Antojitos La Pasadita really great dessert spot she'll definitely go there she probably won't know how to order because it's all in Spanish, but it looks like a really great spot to get dessert and sandwiches. Also, she attended her monthly Sanitation meeting she attended all three of the Jolly Trolley events that happened and she wants to thank all the Departments that were involved in that. Again, it's great when we could
10 have three different Departments put on an event like that and it just makes it so much easier, so that it's not all in one department to do. She wants to say you guys did a fantastic job with that. The community is still talking about it. She also attended GTrans cookoff and congratulations to the winning Department who won the BBQ cookoff there.
She also attended the Senior Candlelight Gala, the Crenshaw Lumber 75 th-anniversary,
and the Christmas party with her colleagues here. Also shop with a Cop, a library book sale that happened next door at Mayme Dear Library. She also attended a Christmas luncheon at Village Mobile Home Senior Park, she also attended a church anniversary at Grace Chapel church. On a sad note, she attended along with our Finance department and City Manager the funeral services of our former auditor for the city, Mr. Kenneth Pun.
She also attended the SBAC B oard of D irectors meeting and attended the South Bay Association of Realtors 2025 president installation with our City Clerk, Mrs. Mina Semenza, had a wonderful time there. She also attended the 25th anniversary of the Gardena Valley and Vicinity Ministers’ Wives and Ministers’ Widows Sisterhood connection, she attended the retirement luncheon of one of our Lions Club members ’ directors, Mr. Nick McCallany. She also attended the Liberty Tabernacle church here in Gardena, their clothing giveaway that they had after church. She also attended our LA County Cities Selection meeting, Sanitation meeting, and Personnel meeting. She attended a CCOG meeting with her colleague Mayor Pro Tem last week. Also last Friday she had a last-minute town hall meeting with the residents as she wanted to allow them to discuss their concerns as they related to the Normandie crossing project, and then lastly this morning she attended Maria Regina’s career day and had a fabulous time talking to all the kids about what it's like being a Mayor and/or a City Council and even a City Clerk here in the City of Gardena. Lastly, she just wants to send a special thank you to all the different groups in Gardena and Departments that helped those who were a victim of the fires that happened in the Palisades, Malibu area, and as well as in Altadena.
She thanked our Police Department for being out there helping to protect against the looters. She wants to thank our Parks and Rec Department for being out there helping in the capacity they were able to, and also our CERT-team as they were activated to go out there, to help out, and she knows they were out there for a couple of days so she just wants to say thank you to all of those groups there for helping those out in need and representing the City of Gardena.
5) COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON - He attended all the things, went to all the places, and attended all the legislative meetings, but he wants to highlight a point, so when he is doing his community visits, business visits, and all these different things. He’s been getting some feedback about how we interact with one another on the d ais, and he just wants to remind everyone although we do read the statement of cordiality and collegiality.
Which we have never had to do before, but now that we have to the feedback that he’s been getting, and we are not throwing anyone under the bus, he just accepts responsibility for all of us. You know folks are noticing our acrimonious behavior and the different things that are happening which in turn has a negative reflection on business development and investment in our community and so he just wants to remind us all not just any one person but remind us all, himself included that we want to make sure that we are setting a standard of leadership our community is changing, again it's change that is uncomfortable, it creates this dis-ease but that's where growth comes in.

Community Development Manager Amanda Acuna presented the staff report on the proposed project to the Planning Commission and members of the public. She provided detailed background information on the project.
Assistant City Attorney Lisa Kranitz and Director of Community Development Greg Tsujiuchi were present and available to answer any questions
Ms. Acuna noted that on April 2, 2024, the Applicant formally withdrew the initial proposal for a 403-unit development from the Planning Commission. On September 30, 2024, the Applicant submitted revised project plans that included a decrease in density. These revised plans are the focus of the presentation in the meeting.
5 Ms. Acuna provided information about the project location, which is a total of 5.25 acres comprised of four lots, along with a zoning map for the project area. The revised project overview, which includes a reduction in the number of apartment units, was displayed on the screen.
Ms. Acuna proceeded to explained in detailed the proposed changes and the new number of units ; the realignment of the entry on 170
th Street and Brighton Way;
Subarea A - consist of the proposed 258 Apartment units/parking/amenities; and Subarea B - consist of the proposed 75 Townhome units/amenities; Offsite improvements to the public right -of-way; Railroad improvements; Sidewalk improvements along 169 th Street; and Project access points at 169 th Street/170th Street and Normandie Ave.
Ms. Acuna state d, the Planning Commission is being asked to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the listed entitlements. The items presented to the Commission are not subject to approval or denial; instead, they are for recommendations to the City Council.
Ms. Acuna stated that the main entitlement being proposed by the Applicants is the adoption of the Normandie Crossing Specific Plan and proposed Site Plan. The Normandie Crossing Specific Plan provides a developmental framework including zoning and uses permitted tailored to the proposed site. She informed everyone that the tables displayed on the screen outline the standards of the Specific Plan for the apartment units and townhomes. The requested General Plan Amendments involve redesignating all four sides to Specific Plan in order to allow for the Normandie Crossing Specific Plan. Additionally, although not part of the project area, staff recommends a new land use and zoning designation for two adjacent properties if the project is approved.
Ms. Acuna informed everyone that the A pplicants proposal includes a vesting tentative map to merge four lots int o one and designate two parcels: one for the townhomes and the other for the apartment building. The townhomes are now proposed in the Specific Plan to be sold exclusively and the Applicant will be required to pay a total of $10,000 per unit, for park in-lieu fees.
Ms. Acuna went over the Affordable Housing Units and No Net Loss Analysis. The revised project includes 7 affordable units, at a moderate- income level. The project helps satisfy the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 5,735 units including 894 moderate units and the remaining units will assist the City in meeting its above moderate allocation of 2,595 units. The Housing Element law requires the City to always maintain an adequate inventory of sites for all income levels and the City is required to track approvals to insure such properties remain available. During the 2021-2029 Housing Element update the City was able to deduct projects that were in the pipeline which included the proposed 403 units which were originally proposed, including proposed, including 20 lower income units. Unfortunately, because the project was amended partway through the housing element, the Housing Element sites inventory still showed 31 moderate income housing units being developed on the northern portion and these units must also be accounted for.
If th e Community Input Alternat ive is approved, the City will still have sufficient surplus to meet its RHNA at all income levels, as displayed on the screen.
6 Ms. Acuna noted that part of the project includes a request for adoption of a development agreement which would guarantee the right to build the development as set forth in the Specific Plan for a period of 5 years with one 5- year extension available at the request of either party. She listed the benefits as displayed on the screen.
Ms. Acuna informed everyone that the C ity retained the consulting firm of Kimley - Horn and Associates to prepare the required Environmental Impact Report (EIR) an to provide peer review of Applicant provided studies. After the Developer submitted plans for the revised project, the City’s Consultant provided an analysis of alternative and found no new significant impacts.
Ms. Acuna introduced James Thomas, the City’s Environmental Consultant . He presented the Normandie Crossing Specific Plan Project - Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was prepared for the Community Input Alternative. Mr. Thomas went over the following: CEQA Process; Initial Study; Environmental Issue Areas Evaluated in EIR; EIR Findings; Alternatives Considered in EIR; Changes between Project and Community Input Alternative; Impact Comparison between Project and Community Input Alternative; Comment Lett ers on the Draft EIR; the Comment Letters After the Draft EIR Review Period; and Final EIR . Chair Henderson thanked Mr. Thomas for the presentation.
Ms. Acuna continued with her presentation and clarified that the Certification of the EIR is a separate action from the project. She went on to noted that the Notice was published in the Gardena Valley News and letters were sent out to owners and occupants within a 300 feet radius of the site and the Applicant held a community meeting on November 18, 2024.

The Applicant, Steven Ludwig, was present with his team. He addressed the Commission and presented on the modified project for the Normandie Crossing Specific Plan, which aims to address some concerns raised by residents while also resulting in a feasible and viable housing project that the C ity envisions for the site when updating the Housing Element. Mr. Ludwig provided some background information about himself, his businesses, and his investments. He expressed his appreciation and commended the staff for their hard work. Following his remarks, Mr.
Ludwig handed over the presentation to Dana Sayles , a member of his team. Ms.
Sayles went over the following information in detail : Site Information; Lot Size; Existing Use; Current Zoning; Details of the existing conditions of the site and its occupants; How the project was started; Gardena Housing Element / RHNA; Site Plan Overview; Community Outreach – a list of dates were shown on the screen including a number for support letters; Changes to Apartments – details of the changes were listed and shown on the screen; Height Change from 7 to 5 stories; Changes to Townhomes; Privacy Protection– Apartments: model views were shown on the screen; High Quality Design & Amenities; Open Space, Landsc aping, and Amenities; Sustainability and Mobility Features; Safety & Security Design and Operations; Pedestrian Improvements-Railroad/Right-of-way Upgrades; Before and After pictures were shown as part of the presentation; and Local Benefits.

On behalf of her team, she urged the recommendation of support for the project to the City Council. Chair Henderson thanked Ms. Sa yles for the presentation.
Commissioner Kanhan began by thanking all the residents for their input and involvement. He also commended the developers for engaging with the residents and for presenting a revised project.
8 Chair Henderson inquired about the reduction ratio for Affordable Housing and how the number was determined. Ms. Sa yles explained that the adjustment was a cost - saving measure to offset both the reduction in multi -family housing units and the increased costs associated with moving some of the parking underground.
Commissioner Kanhan inquired about the process for hiring local contractors and suppliers. Mr. Ludwig explained how local contractors are selected during the bidding process and mentioned that they will be seeking local building suppliers, many of whom are based in Gardena.
Chair Henderson then asked about the EIR and whether it considers the stress on the electrical grid from all the proposed units. He wanted to know the potential impact on the electrical grid. The City’s environmental consultant, Mr. Thomas responded that the EIR included research based on reports and data from the California Electrical Commission (CEC), indicating that the project would have a minimal impact on electricity demand. Another member of the Applicant team, Fred Shaffer, added that they collaborated with SoCal Edison and submitted an application based on the size of the project. SoCal Edison was able to verify that there is sufficient capacity to service the entire project.
Chair Henderson noted for the record that a brief recess would be taken.
Chair Henderson resumed the meeting and addressed the public speakers, informing everyone that comments would be limited to two minutes each.

Chair Henderson announced that the Public Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Kanhan asked Ms. Acuna to show the Planning Commission Recommendation to the City Council.
Recommendation to the City Council on the following items:
a) Certification of the Final EIR
b) Whether to approve General Plan Amendment #3- 21, which includes the changes to the two adjacent properties.
c) Whether to approve the remaining requested entitlements for the Project
9 Assistant City Attorney Lisa Kranitz explained that the General Plan Amendment requires a majority vote from the total membership of the Commission for approval.
This means that anything less than a three- vote majority would not be considered a recommendation for approval. For instance, if the vote passes with a 2- 1 majority, it would not qualify as a recommendation under state law and would simply b e forwarded to the City Council with a note indicating that it is not an official recommendation. Ms. Kranitz explained that if there was less than a three- vote majority voted, similar to the last time this came before the Planning Commission, staff would need to bring those resolutions at a later date.
Chair Henderson expressed his perspective on the project, noting that even if the project is not approved, the site still holds considerable potential. He highlighted that one of the main concerns is parking, emphasizing that any change will have an impact. This issue will need to be addressed in the future if the project does not receive approval. Ultimately, some change will affect this community at some point.
Commissioner Kanhan stated that this is the time to make a decision or request for changes so that the project could move forward because leaving the job site as is should not be an option as it would impact the surrounding property value.
Commissioner Sherman stated that he has listened to the public and is opposed to the project.
Assistant City Attorney Lisa Kranitz explained that a three out of three vote is required for a recommendation of approval on the General Plan Amendment, while a recommendation for approval on the Adoption of the Specific Plan and Zoning Changes would require a two out of three vote. It's important to note that the Planning Commission is only providing recommendations tonight, which will be forwarded to the City Council. The City Council will then discuss the matter in January.
Ms. Acuna noted that staff provided three draft Resolutions:
• Draft Resolution No. PC 18-24 – Recommending Certifying EIR • Draft Resolution No. PC 19 -24 – Recommending Adoption of General Plan Amendment #3-21
• Draft Resolution No. PC 20 -24 – Recommending Approval for all other Project Entitlements, including the Specific Plan

Environmental Assessment Consideration: Adoption of this ordinance is exempt under the common sense exemption of CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) where it can be seen that the project will not have any possibility of creating significant effects on the environment.
Project Location: M-1 and M-2 zoning Districts
Project Applicant: City of Gardena
11 Community Development Manager, Amanda Acuna informed every one of the Zone Text Amendment #7-24 (Ordinance No. 1877) and the Commissioners consideration for recommendation to the City Council to amend the Gardena Municipal Code Chapter 18.66 and Section 18.36.020 relating to allowing non - storefront retail medicinal cannabis delivery services businesses in the M-1 and M-2 zoning districts.
Assistant City Attorney Lisa Kranitz and Director of Community Development Greg Tsujiuchi were present and available to answer any questions
Ms. Acuna provided a detailed explanation of the item being presented and recommendations to the City Council. She informed the Commissioners that staff reassess the potential impact that the Ordinance can have in allowing storefront retailers and compliance with SB1186. Ms. Acuna indicated that Ordinance No. 1877 had been drafted and presented for consideration to the City Council. The ordinance includes all the amendments from the previous version, with the added requirement that storefront establishments must maintain a minimum distance of 300 feet from properties that contain a mobile home park. Additionally, Ms. Acuna clarified that this ordinance pertains only to medical cannabis delivery services, which will operate as non-storefront locations, meanin g customers will not visit the site —essentially functioning as satellite locations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council under PC Resolution #21- 24 and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1877.
Chair Henderson asked if any Commissioner had questions.
Vice-Chair sought clarification on the mobile home distance requirement, proposing a change from 600 feet to 300 feet. Ms. Acuna confirmed that he was correct. He also inquired about the level of security that would be provided due to the nature of the items being stored. Ms. Acuna re sponded that the Ordinance, as previously drafted, includes operational procedures and provisions that will be handled through a license with the Police Department and would be subject to meeting the state regulations regarding health and safety and is drafted in the Ordinance under Title 5.
Under the Planning Commission authority, recommendations can only be made on the zoning amendments that are being made as it is part of the ordinance and is being addressed.
Chair Henderson inquired whether this type of business is currently permitted. Ms.
Acuna clarified that an ordinance had been passed prohibiting any form of cannabis business that allows for cannabis use, whether it be retail, cultivation, or even storage—none of these are permitted within the city. However, the amendment allows for non-storefront delivery businesses that provide for the delivery of medical cannabis products.
Assistant City Attorney Kranitz added that the City Council did not change its policy; rather, it is due to an amendment in State law. The updated State law mandates that all jurisdictions must allow these types of uses. Ms. Acuna further noted that any other prohibitions the City has in place will remain in effect.
Commissioner Kanhan asked if "storefront delivery" means that clients can pick up products from the location. Ms. Acuna responded that no clients are allowed at the location since it is designated solely for warehousing and storage of products for 12 medical deliveries. She also mentioned that the City does not expect to see this type of business in Gardena due to existing restrictions on other cannabis operations.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr inquired whether the business intended to display green crosses on the warehouse as a form of advertising and if they had any details about their online advertisements. Ms. Acuna clarified that the ordinance regulates signage and advertising, stating that no advertising for other companies, brands, goods, or services is permitted.
Assistant City Attorney Kranitz stated that the green cross symbol would not be allowed on the building or anything that suggests cannabis is stored on the premises.
She also mentioned that she was unsure how the business would advertise to the medical community, as advertising is regulated by the state as well.
Lastly, Chair Henderson asked how long this requirement has been in place by the state. Assistant City Attorney Kranitz responded that compliance was needed by July 1, 2024.
MOTION: It was made by Vice -Chair Wright -Scherr and seconded by Commissioner Kanhan to Adopt Resolution No. PC 21-24, Recommending the City Council Adopt Ordinance No. 1877:
The motion was passed by the following roll call vote:
Ayes: Wright-Scherr, Kanhan, Sherman, and Henderson
Noes: None
Absent: Langley

Planning Assistant Kevin La presented the Staff Report for Conditional Use Permit #1-24 (Modification to CUP #219- 68), Site Plan Review #1- 24, and Administrative Adjustment #1-24 for a high school located at 2818 Manhattan Beach Blvd within the Single- Family Residential (R -1) zone. The vicinity and zoning map were displayed on the screen.
Community Development Manager Amanda Acuna briefed everyone on the history of the previous entitlements issued for the site.
Conditional Use Permit #219-68 – Approved in 1968.

• Modification #4 – In 2013, administratively approved a modification to allow the grade level to go up to High School and a reduction in student enrollment to 450.
4 Ms. Acuna stated that in previous approvals for modifications to Conditional Use Permit #219-68, the requests and analyses consistently addressed the features of both properties: the one on 2818 Manhattan Beach Blvd and the one on 15916 Crenshaw Blvd. However, the two properties were never officially tied through any entitlement requests.
Ms. Acuna informed everyone that in 2022, the Environmental Charter School acquired the property. Upon the acquisition, the combined use of both the Manhattan Beach Blvd and Crenshaw Blvd properties ended. For that reason, a new conditional use permit number has been identified for this request before the Commission tonight. For clarification it is still vested right under the original conditional use permit that allowed for the property to operate as a school at that location. What is being considered tonight is the site improvements.
Ms. Acuna stated that the Applicant, Environmental Charter School is proposing to demolish the existing chapel structure (9,036 SF), which currently contains two classrooms, and replace it with a newly constructed multi -purpose building of approximately 7,508 SF.

• Parking area enhancements; implementation of a new vehicle circulation plan.
Parking Adjustment:
• 12% reduction in the number of required spaces from 104 to 93 spaces.
Ms. Acuna clarified to the Commission and all attendees a question that staff had received regarding any removal of street permit parking as part of the project. Ms.
Acuna clarified that t he study indicates that there is an administrative adjustment request for the removal of 16 on-site parking spaces., Therefore, no street parking permits will be removed as part of this request.
Mr. La stated that as part of the request, pursuant to the Gardena Municipal Code Section 18.12.030.B , a conditional use permit is required for public and private schools in the R -1 zone. To reiterate Ms. Acuna's statement, this is an existing entitlement that is being reclassified as CUP #1-24. Therefore, the current proposal involves site improvements for a modification. Pursuant to Gardena Municipal Code Section 18.44.10.A site plan review shall be processed concurrently with other discretionary approvals, such as when a conditional use permit . Mr. La noted that the Planning staff was recommending a condition to require the installing of an eighth decorative block wall or fence to separate the two properties. This condition would help prevent circulation from parents entering off Crenshaw Blvd.
Mr. La displayed the Elevations for the newly proposed building; the Table Chart of the Development Standards; and the Circulation Plan on the screen. He also noted that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the Guidelines Sections 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction; 15303, New Construction of Small Structures Projects; and 15300.2 The project is not subject to any of the exceptions of CEQA.

She provided an overview of the New Drop- Off Proposal, which included details about the interior and exterior fence systems. Although this information was not included in the PowerPoint presentation, she brought a poster board to illustrate the fence systems. Ms. Diaz believes that these modifications will fully unlock the potential of the site, transforming it into a vibrant, innovative, and sustainable high-quality high school campus. She also informed the Commission that they are available to answer any questions.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr inquired about the type of partnership they have with El Camino College and how it benefits the students. Ms. Diaz responded by mentioning that they recently received a grant to help establish a new environmental design pathway. This initiati ve will allow students to begin their course of studies at El Camino College while still in high school. She then invited Mr. Guardado to elaborate on the topic. Ms. Guardado added that their 11th-grade class has been taking their Spanish class at El Camin o and that they are able to utilize the college's facilities for various activities.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr asked about the on-site drop-off proposal and its potential impact on street traffic. Ms. Diaz confirmed that substantial efforts have been made to reduce traffic congestion and provided detailed information.
Chair Henderson inquired whether they had engaged with the community regarding the proposed drop-off plan and what feedback they received. Ms. Diaz responded that they had not held an official meeting with community members; however, some community members had approached them to express their concerns. In response, they have collaborated with the neighbors and the C ity to address these issues.
Additionally, they have informed the parent community about potential fines that could be enforced. As a result of these efforts, they have seen increased compliance from parents.
Ms. Acuna added that one of the project design being proposed to improve traffic circulation is the introduction of a new queuing lane that will run parallel to Manhattan Beach Boulevard. This is being done to help alleviate traffic congestion.
As a part of the proposal presented tonight, there will al so be a condition to have monitors throughout the queuing lane in order to facilitate traffic.
Commissioner Langley pointed out that their use to be a n exit at the back of the property leading to Atkinson Ave and if that access is still available for parents during pick-up. Ms. Diaz responded that no pick -ups occur in the back, and many people are unaware that this area is accessible. She clarified that it is only available for staff use. He also requested an explanation regarding the outlined blue area and questioned the need for parking there if it is not being utilized. Ms. Diaz explained that portion of the parking lot is not current ly being used and it is only intended to 7 be used in case of a special event. He further asked about the additional parking spaces required for the 12th graders. Ms. Diaz replied that most students do not drive, and for the few student drivers, they are working on getting them permit parking at El Camino College.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr asked how long the construction will take to complete.
Ms. Diaz responded that, according to the current lease agreement, they anticipate securing the necessary permits within one year. Construction is expected to commence in January and be completed before the school year begins in August.
Commissioner Langley noted that the site was previously a church sanctuary and asked if any arrangements have been made with Calvary Baptist to preserve any historical elements of the church. Ms. Diaz confirmed that she had reached out to them regarding the project and proposed plans. They indicated that some church members may have sentimental attachments to the building. Ms. D iaz communicated that the church members would like to find a way to memorialize the church's long- standing commitment to the community. Commissioner Langley mentioned that the church has been in existence since 1945. Ms. Diaz acknowledged that no decisions have been made yet but expressed her willingness to explore ways to honor the church’s legacy. She also pointed out that similar memorials have been established at their other campuses.
Commissioner Langley shared that his father was the treasurer of the church and that the sanctuary was built in 1960. He mentioned that his father raised all the funds for the sanctuary as a volunteer starting in 1958. Additionally, his brother and sister were married there, and he grew up attending that church while his mother served as its secretary. He stated that he would abstaining from the vote on this project, not because he opposes the project—he believes it is a good one—but due to his emotional ties. Ms. Diaz asked if he would be willing to help lead the effort to memorialize the church. He expressed his desire for former members to collaborate on a plan, to which Ms. Diaz agreed.
Ms. Acuna informed the Commissioners that five members of the public have requested to speak on the item.
Commissioner Sherman expressed concerns regarding the queuing lane. Ms. Diaz explained that currently, all vehicles travel the full distance of the lane. Ms. Acuna added that a condition has been drafted by staff to require at least four monitors along the queuing lane: one at the entrance, another at the turnaround section, and the remaining two near the drop- off area and the exit. If the commission identifies any additional monitors that are necessary, they can be added to the draft.
Chair Henderson announced that the Public Hearing was open and informed everyone that comments would be limited to two minutes.
Public Speakers:
1) Austin Walcher, a resident, is not opposed to the proposed project; however, he expressed concerns about the exemption from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because he believed that the building could contain asbestos.
2) Emma Garcia, a parent, expressed her support for the proposed Environmental Charter School (ECS) project in Spanish.
8 City staff briefly summarized and translated her comments. Director Tsujiuchi noted that the information would be translated into English and provided to all the Commissioners.
3) Camila Sasa , a student, expressed her appreciation and support for the Environmental Charter School expansion.
4) Guadalupe Badillo, another student, shared a little about her journey in ECG and voiced her support of the project.
5) Danielle Marquez , mother, spoke about the partnerships with ECG and expressed her support for the project.
Ms. Acuna read into the record the translation of the comments from Public Speaker 2) Emma Garcia.
Chair Henderson commended the students and the school administration for doing a wonderful job.
Chair Henderson announced that the Public Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Langley expressed his desire to propose a friendly amendment to the motion. Director Tsujiuchi offered clarification regarding the friendly amendment.
Chair Henderson inquired whether any of the artifacts could be incorporated into the school. Ms. Diaz responded that it is possible, but it will require further consideration to determine the details.
