21. CITY MANAGER REMARKS RE: DIRECTIVES / COUNCIL ITEMS 1) He mentioned Happy Birthday to our Community Development Director Greg Tsujiuchi.
22. COUNCIL REMARKS
1) COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS - Since our last meeting, she attended the Greater Los Angeles Vector Control District meeting; the Friendship Fiesta over at Rowley Park was a really nice event, young folks were having a good time there, she’s glad we did that, and she hopes we do it again. She attended the Martin Luther King Jr. Committee Meeting, Beautification Commission, and our 42nd annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative parade and it was a nice parade, everyone seemed to have a good time, she certainly enjoyed it, and they had a battle of bands. Our Gardena High School won first place which was $1000, and second place was Inglewood High School, who won $ 500, third place was Kipp Scholars Academy, who won $250. It was a great day; a great festival and we're looking forward to our 43rd annual parade and we're already in the process of planning. Also, she wants to thank Carrie Scott for her service to the City of Gardena. As we go forward, we are held to a higher standard of ethics. We all take the ethics course for every organization involved in she has taken an ethics training, but if we just remember that we're here for the greater good and that's the City of Gardena, we will be okay. When we have so many impediments to the way we communicate and how we communicate she thinks we're having some problems there so, to keep the city moving in a forward direction let's keep all that in mind, and like she always says keep faith, better days are coming.
10 2) COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON - Since the last meeting, he attended the Independent Cities Association Winter Seminar, held in Santa Barbara. They had six sessions and an ethics training session for newly elected council members and some of the members that still needed that. President-elect Ray Jackson out of Hermosa Beach, our executive director staff, and himself put on a pretty good program they got some great feedback. Session one was related to new economic development, it's green and comes with money. In that session, they discussed a presentation by Kosmont Companies regarding potential opportunities for cities to look into in their development with a green aspect. We had an informative brief presentation by Onnie Williams III from the homeless initiative and affordable housing of LA County, he's the CEO. Onnie talked about the LA County measure A and local solutions fund so their second measure is now something that they are going to provide local cities and communities with their funding back to address the homelessness issue. They had a great presentation, in session two, it's possible functional zero homelessness, Ronson Chu who we love at our South Bay Cities Council of Government, Supervisor Janice Hahn, City Attorney Mike Webb from Redondo Beach, talked about their care court, and Police Chief Manny Cid from Glendale, discussed how we're not going to be able to arrest our way out of homelessness and we have to start thinking about wrap-around services and everything so that's why it was timely to hear about LA county measure A funding coming back to the cities. Session three, I moderated our new merging policing technologies, cities that are small like us where we have narrow margins, and how the use of technology actually helps our cities of our size keep our communities safe, allows our public safety folks to be out there, and do their community work, it also helps attract newer talent coming in, and it gives an opportunity for folks that are a little bit longer in the tooth in the organization to provide of value. They had a session with Vic Noel who's the venue cities relations of LA 28, They talked about the Olympics coming here in 2028, and opportunities for cities to participate in creating national houses. Since the world is coming here there are opportunities for communities to host national houses for different nationalities and cultural groups and countries as they visit here. They talked about the traffic impact that's going to occur with the world being here, and the different opportunities that Metro is providing along with all the transportation organizations within LA County. Session 6 was a call to action; how short-term rentals are impacting our cities and what to do about it. This was robust, they’ll probably do it again at our summer seminar and he has been asked to potentially do a presentation on this with Ray Jackson at Contract Cities because with all the short-term rentals, either legal or illegal, are actually impacting on our long-term housing inventory. They are going to reach out to our colleagues in Sacramento to see if they can help us with that. He also wants to thank Burt Nakamura for his service on the Rent Mediation Board, he served with him along with you; Mayor Cerda, so he will be missed, he had a lot of jewels and wisdom. He also wants to thank our staff; he’s noticing a trend of where you guys are getting decent at anticipating where we're going and some of the things we've all been through several times like with the project on Artesia. The community benefits from the fact that the work was already done to have that addressed in the presentation he felt was very helpful, very thoughtful, and proactive, so it eliminated a lot of questions so we could move on. He wants staff to understand that he recognizes the true diligence and effort and the academic discipline in getting a lot of stuff done.
11 3) MAYOR PRO TEM TANAKA - Since our last meeting, he went to the homeless count, thank you Chief for your staff, Stephany, and her staff and everybody else who participated in our homeless count.

4) MAYOR CERDA - Since the last council meeting, she attended a memorial service for Gardena High School’s ROTC director first Sargeant Thierry Williams that was held over at the VFW. It was really nice to be able to honor him at one point there was just a private burial for him, and then everybody was able to come out and share their experiences with them but they had a beautiful memorial, where a lot of his students came out, parents of students that he had mentored, and just helped get in the military, and acted as a surrogate father were there to talk about him and share some really great memories. She is really glad to have the opportunity to go there to attend and represent the City of Gardena.

They had a representative from the District Attorney's office talking about the process that happens once they get it. There were a lot of good questions that were answered. Our business owners and the different management of these stores appreciate the fact that Gardena wants to work closer with them so that we don't have the types of crime that we have in some of our retail stores. She went to a fundraiser for our Gardena Police Department and those officers who are going to be participating in the law enforcement Baker to Vegas it was held over at Islands. She just wants to thank all the people who came out to support. She attended the homeless count and rode around for a couple of hours with a couple of people, it's always good to be out there and interact with the team and we only found one homeless person in our group, and we had two areas. It shows that we're doing a great job, as far as trying to work with those who are homeless in our City; we're looking at long-term solutions. She thanked our homeless officer Amerine, Patty, and Dianna for doing a great job. They're an amazing team out there making a very big difference as well as the other officers too, you're just seeing a noticeable difference here in the community. She apologized for missing the MLK parade she was at the ICA conference which was the first parade she had missed in 25 years, and it just really hurt not being there but she got a chance to see all the pictures and she just wants to thank everybody for participating she wants to thank the MLK group for doing a great job and coordinating. Her colleague said all the stuff that we studied at ICA, but she wants to commend you and the whole ICA 12 team, you guys did a really good job. She got a chance to collaborate and talk about what's going on in our city. What she took home the most was when they were talking about short-term rentals and how regionally they account for 3% of the loss in the housing stock. So, as they were talking to other people at their table, they talked about what type of things they put in their ordinance, as far as allowing them or not allowing them or put to a minimum. The last thing she mentioned was she wants to invite everybody to her new monthly town hall meetings that she will be having on the last Friday of every month. The first one will begin this coming Friday, February 28th, it'll be at 6:00 PM at the Toss Up restaurant on Artesia all are invited to come out and share your issues or concerns that you have and it's on a Friday afternoon where we can just come and talk and she can share with you anything that we're doing here in the City of Gardena.

Administrative Analyst I, Georgina Placido asked if any members of the public wished to speak to the Planning Commission.
1) Michael Brown, business owner spoke on the possibility of transferring his Conditional Use Permit for alcohol sales and Tobacco License to a new location for his cigar lounge due to an increase in rental costs.
Director Tsujiuchi reminded the Commissioners that the subject is not an agendize item and therefore cannot be discussed. Ms. Acuña noted for the record that Mr. Brown made a written comment to the Planning Commission, and a copy of that comment was provided to each Commissioner, with copies also made available for the public. 2) Abbi Rahim expressed his appreciation for pickleball and its benefits to the Gardena community. He would like to see a pickleball program geared toward the youth and seniors.
Chair Henderson asked Director Tsujiuchi to inform the Recreation Department about additional programs.
3) Alex Lee, spoke about his family’s pickleball business, Dink House Los Angeles, located at 1495 W. 139th Street. He mentioned that the business had been shut down, and fines would be enforced if they continued to operate without the necessary permits.
He requested a temporary allowance to operate while they work on obtaining the correct city permits and licenses required for their business. 4) Victor Joseph, a resident of Gardena shared his experience with pickleball and his interaction with Dink House. He requested that the business be allowed to remain open until it complies with city requirements.
Chair Henderson inquired whether all relevant information could be forwarded to the Recreation Department. Also wants to ensure that the business is operating legally within the city.
Chair Henderson also recommended that Mr. Brown's issue be presented to the City Council. Director Tsujiuchi informed the Commission that, by law, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is tied to the land, which is mandated by State law. Chair Henderson recalled that an ordinance had been previously prepared to address new cigar lounges.
Assistant City Attorney Kranitz clarified that while cigar lounges are permitted, a Conditional Use Permit is necessary to open a new cigar lounge within the city. She explained that Mr. Brown’s cigar lounge was established prior to this requirement, and at a new location they would be subject to obtaining a CUP for the use of a new cigar lounge. She confirmed that state law mandates a CUP is associated with the land. 3 6. OTHER ITEMS

Community Development Director Greg Tsujiuchi and Assistant City Attorney Lisa Kranitz were present to answer any questions.
5 Ms. Acuña presented a PowerPoint presentation that included the following information, along with photographs of the subject property: Property Location and Acreage Breakdown: The property located at 1450 Artesia Boulevard consists of a
6.33-acre lot, which is made up of six parcels: 1450 Artesia, parcel 6106-036-034, 1440, 1452, 1462, and 1472 Artesia Boulevard. Existing Structures: A list of existing structures was provided, indicating their types of use. It was noted that one of the structures is residential and currently vacant. Additionally, it was highlighted that these structures were originally constructed between the 1920s and the 1950s.
Historical Use: The site was originally used for industrial purposes and later served as a waste disposal area known as the Gardena Sumps. In the 1980s, hazardous materials were discovered on the site, leading to environmental remediation efforts.
This included covering the sumps with liners and concrete. The subject site has been under ongoing remediation with the appropriate agencies.
Ms. Acuña informed everyone that the applicants had prepared a presentation and were available to answer any questions.
Ms. Acuña proceeded with her presentation and gave background information about the subject project and a development group known as Insite Property Group (the “Applicant”), as displayed on the screen:
May of 2020, the Gardena City Council held a study session to hear about a conceptual project for the 6.33 site.
December of 2021, formal application to establish the 1450 Artesia Specific Plan, 268,000sf building with associated surface parking, landscaping, and circulation improvements.
November 2021, the City entered into a consultant agreement with Dudek to prepare the required EIR and to provide peer review of Applicant provided studies.
June 22, 2023, the City held a scoping meeting on the project CEQA. EIR Review Period August 2024 – September 2024.
Ms. Acuña listed the development project entitlements:
Environmental Assessment #9-21: Certifying the EIR prepared for the project. Specific Plan (SP #1-23): Redeveloping the property for a commercial/industrial mixed-use project.
Site Plan Review #5-21: Approving the physical design of the development. Development Agreement #1-21: Between the City and developer that guarantees the right to build the development as set forth in this Specific Plan for a period of 10 years and provides community benefits to the City.
Administrative Approval
Lot Merger: to merge six lots into one single parcel for the site development.
Ms. Acuña went over the proposed project involving the demolition of all existing structures on the site and the construction of a 268,000sf mixed-use building for industrial and commercial:
A three-level, over first floor, self-storage facility totaling 186,000sf, with 1,480 storage units.
An industrial warehouse with one level totaling 72,000sf, including 10 loading docks.
An office/retail space including a mezzanine totaling 10,000sf. 6 Ms. Acuña shared the zoning history of the site, noting that back in 2006, the city adopted the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan. This plan covered the area between Western Avenue and Normandie Avenue, south of Artesia Boulevard. The original specific plan allowed for commercial use and a mixed-use of commercial and residential development. However, the site was never developed as intended under this plan. In 2013, the city updated the land use plan and zoning map in connection with the city’s housing element, which resulted in the rescinding of the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan. Nevertheless, the subject site retained its land use designation for the specific plan. A zoning designation was subsequently assigned to the site for the 1450 Artesia Specific Plan, serving as a placeholder while the project was going through the planning process.
Ms. Acuña noted that the applicant proposed for the site to include 36,000sf of community space for special events, which would require approval from the Director of Recreation, utilizing approximately 63 parking spaces.
Ms. Acuña provided a detailed overview of the On-site circulation and On-site Circulation During Special Events in detail as displayed on the screen.
Ms. Acuña talked about the 1450 Artesia SP/Site Plan Review – Standard permitted uses; Prohibited uses; Minimum lot size; Maximum building height, and Requirements; Minimum landscape; Parking; Parking dimensions (no compact spaces); Minimum landscape.
Ms. Acuña went over the Development Agreement, as follows:
Guarantees 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.
Benefits to the City:
o Exclusive access to a portion of the parking for periodic City Events o Monetary contribution of one million dollars
o Local hiring/local buying program for construction
Ms. Acuña noted that the City has entered into a consultant agreement with Dudek to prepare the required Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and to provide a peer review of studies submitted by the applicant. She then informed everyone that Nicole Cobleigh, an Environmental Consultant from Dudek, had prepared a presentation to discuss the information.
Ms. Nicole Cobleigh reiterated that Dudek was hired by the City to conduct a peer review of the technical analysis provided by the applicant and prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the document in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Ms. Cobleigh explained the process the City followed in preparing the EIR and discussed the findings within the report.
She then noted that, just before the Planning Commission meeting, a comment letter was received from the Los Angeles County Unified School District (LAUSD) regarding the project. The letter expressed concerns about the potential impact on nearby school facilities. However, Ms. Cobleigh explained that the EIR had already addressed all the concerns raised in the letter and emphasized that no new or more severe environmental impacts would result from the project. 7 Director Tsujiuchi mentioned that staff had adequate time to thoroughly review the letter from LAUSD along with the consultants and that most of the concerns highlighted in the letter are being addressed in the documents that have been prepared and are required to be followed in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr asked whether there would be fencing around the construction site, considering that children would be going to school nearby. Ms.
Cobleigh confirmed that there would be fencing around the project, and after the project is completed, there would also be fencing around the site.
Ms. Acuña added that the fencing requirements would be placed on the developer.
Ms. Acuña noted that all public comments were presented to the Planning Commission, and copies of these comments are available for the public and can be found at the back of the Council Chambers for those in attendance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council to:
1) Conduct the public hearing;
2) Receive testimony from the public;
3) Adopt Resolution No. PC 2-25 recommending to the City Council to certify the Final EIR and Adopt the Mitigation Measures and Statement Overwriting Considerations; and
4) Adopt Resolution No. PC 3-25 recommending to the City Council to Adopt 1450 Artesia Blvd Specific Plan, the site plan review and the development agreement.
Ms. Acuña informed the Commissioners that both the staff and the consultant were available to answer any questions, and the applicants had prepared a presentation for the commission.
Chair Henderson then asked if any of the Commissioners had questions for the staff, but no questions were asked at that time.
Brian Sorensen, the Applicant and Development Director for Insite, commended Ms.
Nicole Cobleigh for effectively addressing the concerns raised by the Los Angeles School District. He also expressed his gratitude to Ms. Acuña for her presentation, noting that she did a commendable job in conveying the project's purpose.
Mr. Sorensen shared his excitement about the opportunity to present the proposed project, highlighting the work his team has accomplished over the past five years.
He provided some background information about himself and the Insite Company, including his familiarity with the project site and his eagerness to initiate developments there. He displayed a map of Southern California, the Los Angeles region, showcasing various projects his team has completed in the last six years.
Additionally, he shared historical context about the project site, detailing that it was used as cattle ground in the 1920s, transitioned to a brick manufacturing site that mined clay in the 1930s, and became a dumping area for petroleum byproducts in the 1940s, known as the Gardena Sumps.
8 Mr. Sorensen discussed the site's maintenance efforts and noted that it has been underutilized and underdeveloped for an extended period. He detailed the site's significant size, the designed building footprint limitations, the single access point from Artesia Blvd, and the railroad tracks that could not be crossed. He also mentioned concerns regarding contamination on much of the site along Artesia Blvd.
He concluded by informing everyone that his team of experts was available to address any specific questions they might have.
Mr. Sorensen then introduced Mr. CJ Rogers, the Director of Design on the project.
Mr. Rogers provided an overview of the project features and explained the significant constraints on development at the project site due to the site’s contaminations . Mr.
Rogers then presented renderings of the proposed design, highlighting the detailed work conducted by the design team.
Mr. Sorensen continued with his presentation, discussing the public benefits to the community; he emphasized the importance of not only creating an attractive development but also ensuring a safe cap and a long-term plan for the contamination on the site; he highlighted the potential increase in property tax; the school fees for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), and the development agreement that was initiated in 2020. Additionally, he mentioned that there will be a community event space managed at the discretion of the city. He also displayed two additional renderings on the screen.
Mr. Sorensen expressed his appreciation to all the members of the Planning Commission and would like the opportunity to redevelop the subject property.
Chair Henderson thanked Mr. Sorensen and asked if any Commissioner had questions.
Chair Henderson asked that in the EIR it mentioned the “cap”. He understood that the cap would consist of the parking lot and or other concrete surfaces. He expressed concern about the potential impact on the surrounding area if contaminants were removed, especially during the grading process, which requires leveling the ground. He asked how the contaminants would be contained and what the process for creating the cap would entail.
Mr. Sorensen responded that no hazardous materials would leave the site. He provided a detailed explanation of the grading process and how the cap would be constructed on top of the existing surfaces. Mr. Sorensen then turned to Mr. Jaydeep Purandare, the Environmental Consultant for the project, to provide further details.
Mr. Purandare confirmed that the cap would be built over the existing materials. He elaborated on how the cap would function.
Chair Henderson inquired whether the cap and remediation efforts were already underway and if they were part of the land preparation. Mr. Purandare clarified that the remediation had not yet started and that Atlantic Richfield Company (ARC), would coordinate with the State’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to address this before the grading process commenced.
Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr asked if the completed cap would include vents to release gases. Mr. Purandare explained that a vent collection system features. 9 Commissioner Langley asked for clarification regarding the abutting properties to the eastern side of the project site, as illustrated on page 2-7 of Exhibit - 1450 Artesia Specific Plan. He asked for information on the ownership of that specific land and inquired about the trees to be planted there.
Mr. Sorensen turned to Mr. Ben Huber, the Civil Engineer overseeing the surveying, for additional information. Mr. Sorensen confirmed that there are other property owners between the railroad tracks and the subject site, and that the actual improvements extend onto their properties and some of the right-of-way directly in front of the property. He also mentioned that considerable thought was given to the landscape design. They created waterproof concrete planters to separate the landscaping and tree material from the cap, in accordance with DTSC requirements.
Therefore, trees will not be planted directly into the cap.
Mr. Sorensen noted that any landscaping shown between the railroad tracks and the subject property could be conceptual, and there might be some overgrown weeds in that area. A rendering of the area was displayed on the screen to illustrate the areas Commissioner Langley referenced. Director Tsujiuchi added that the area in question is owned by LA County. Ms. Acuña displayed the initial site plan on the screen to provide a clearer understanding of the discussion. She identified the property line and the areas owned by LA County, after which Mr. Ben Huber approached the podium to explain the lines outlined in the site plan Chair Henderson announced that the Public Hearing was open and asked if anyone wished to speak on this item.
Ms. Acuña informed everyone that there were two public speakers wanting to speak on the item.
PUBLIC SPEAKERS:
1) Jayson Baiz, a member of the Labor International Union of North America, shared some of the difficulties he has faced in life and expressed his appreciation for projects like this. He spoke in support of the project. 2) Kyle Patterson, a member of the Western States Carpenters, expressed his gratitude for projects like this and voiced his support for the project.
Chair Henderson announced the closure of the Public Hearing and thanked everyone for their comments and presentations.
Commissioner Kanhan expressed concerns about the parking availability for community events, uncertain about the expected size of these events. In response, Ms. Acuña explained that the site plan allocates approximately half of the parking area for city special events. Additionally, she noted that the other half of the parking lot would be designated for storage facility customers and employees during the events.
Commissioner Langley inquired about the height of the wall located on the east side next to the railroad tracks. Director Tsujiuchi asked if his concern was related to noise during events, noting that the ambient noise from Artesia and Normandie is quite loud and wouldn’t typically be an issue, especially since it is below grade. 10 Chair Henderson requested confirmation that there would be some type of fencing along the perimeter on the east, south, and west sides. Mr. Sorensen confirmed that fencing would be installed around the property.
Commissioner Langley asked about traffic to and from the storage facility and whether it would only operate Monday through Friday. Mr. Sorensen explained that the facility would initially experience high foot traffic when it first opens, but this would decline shortly thereafter.
Commissioner Sherman asked about the parking area, specifically concerning how concrete would be laid over a capped site. He was curious if the concrete would go over the existing cap. Mr. Sorensen clarified that there is currently a temporary cap at the site, as required by the DTSC, to ensure human safety. The proposal includes constructing a better-engineered permanent cap.
MOTION: It was made by Vice-Chair Wright-Scherr and seconded by Commissioner Langley to Adopt Resolution No. PC 2-25 recommending to the City Council to certify the Final EIR and Adopt the Mitigation Measures and Statement Overwriting Considerations and Adopt Resolution No. PC 3-25 recommending to the City Council to Adopt 1450 Artesia Blvd Specific Plan, the site plan review and the development agreement:

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby adopts the 1450 Specific Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit A. This approval is based on the following findings:
A. Adoption of the Specific Plan is consistent with the Land Use Plan of the General Plan which designates this property for Specific Plan and consistent with Section
18.08.015 of the Gardena Municipal Code which requires adoption of the 1450 Artesia Specific Plan for development of the site.
B. The Specific Plan complies with state and local law and contains all necessary elements.
C. The Specific Plan creates a new zone which will act as the zoning for the property and establishes the permitted uses and development standards that apply to the property. Adoption of the Specific Plan is required to allow development of the property.
D. Development of the Specific Plan will allow for the following benefits:
1. Redevelopment of a contaminated property with a use that has been approved by the Department of Toxic Substance Control which has approved a Remedial Action Plan for the property.
2. Redevelopment of contaminated property that cannot be used for residential or other sensitive uses. Despite being zoned for commercial use for decades, no such development was ever proposed.
3. Redevelopment will bring one-time monetary benefits to the City in the form of permit and inspection fees and increased business license fees for contractors working on the project.
4. Redevelopment will increase the value of the property and the amount of property tax which the City receives.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves the Development Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B based on the following findings:
ORDINANCE NO. 1879
3 A. The Development Agreement will implement the Specific Plan and will provide the City with certain benefits that would otherwise be unattainable through the other land use approvals in exchange for providing valuable development rights.
B. The Development Agreement provides for the following benefits which could not be obtained through the normal development procedures, in addition to the benefits set forth above, including:
1. A one million dollar one-time monetary contribution to the City to be used for any public purpose benefiting the City’s residents;
2. Space for the City to hold community events up to 36 times a year and storage space for the City’s equipment for such events; and
3. An agreement to follow local hiring/local buying program policies.
SECTION 3. Site Plan Review #5-21, included as Appendix B to the Specific Plan, is approved as part of the Specific Plan. The City Council makes the following findings with regard to the Site Plan:
A. The physical location, size, massing, setbacks, pedestrian orientation, and placement of proposed structures on the site and the location of proposed uses within the project are consistent with the applicable standards:
Analysis: The project is consistent with the applicable standards as the standards are set forth in the 1450 Artesia Specific Plan and the Project implements this Plan.
B. The development is consistent with the intent and general purpose of the general plan and provisions of the Zoning Code:
Analysis: The Land Use Designation for the Property is Specific Plan and the zoning is 1450 Artesia Specific Plan. As the development implements the Specific Plan, it is consistent with both the General Plan land use designation and the zoning.
Additionally, the development implements numerous other goals and policies of the Specific Plan as outlined therein.
C. The health and safety services (police and fire) and public infrastructure are sufficient to accommodate the new development:
Analysis: The development has been reviewed by the Gardena Police Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Neither Department has raised any issues regarding the ability to provide services. Additionally, the project has received will serve letters from the various utilities.
D. The project is compatible with the surrounding sites and neighborhoods:
ORDINANCE NO. 1879
4 Analysis: The Specific Plan allows for the development of up to 268,000 square feet (SF) and an approximate height of 75 feet.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared unconstitutional.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall take effect on the thirty-first day after passage.

CHAPTER 2.0: INTRODUCTION
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 AUTHORITY
The 1450 ASP provides for the orderly and efficient development and revitalization of the Plan area consistent with the City of Gardena General Plan policies and objectives. The 1450 ASP has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457. The code grants local government agencies the authority to prepare specific plans for the systematic implementation of their General Plan for all or part of the area covered by the General Plan.
Government Code Sections 65450 through 65454 establish the authority to adopt a Specific Plan, identify the required contents of a Specific Plan, and mandate consistency with the General Plan.
Per Government Code Section 65451, a Specific Plan must include text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space within the area covered by the plan.
• The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the land area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. • A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items. • A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
As a regulatory document, the Specific Plan implements the General Plan as the new zoning for the Specific Plan area. All future development plans and entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent with the applicable standards set forth in this document as described in Chapters 5 (Development Regulations and Requirements), 6 (Design Guidelines), and 8 (Implementation); the Gardena Municipal Code (GMC), where not modified by the Specific Plan; and the General Plan.

2.2 PURPOSE AND INTENT
The 1450 ASP provides newly constructed development of industrial warehouse, office, and selfstorage options specifically to create a modern facility along Artesia Boulevard. The aim is to repurpose underutilized parcels to provide high quality industrial and commercial uses to the City of Gardena (City). See Chapter 4.1 for detailed project goals and objectives.
2.3 SITE LOCATION
The Project site is located at the southwest corner of Artesia Boulevard and Normandie Avenue in the City. The Project’s regional vicinity is depicted in Figure 1: Local Vicinity Map and the Project’s specific site location is depicted in Figure 2: Project Location.
REGIONAL SETTING
Regionally positioned within the County of Los Angeles, the City has developed as the ‘City of Opportunity’ since its incorporation in 1930 including development into 5.9-square-miles with a population of just over 61,000 based on 2020 Census data. The City is a transit-oriented city bound by the Century Freeway (I-105) to the north, San Diego Freeway(I-405) to the south and west, and the Harbor Freeway (I-110) to the east. The Artesia Freeway (SR-91) begins approximately
0.9 miles east of the Project site and runs east-west throughout the City. Artesia Boulevard, an east-west street forming the northern boundary of the Plan area, delivers direct access to the Specific Plan area. Local access to the Project site is also provided from Normandie Avenue, traveling north-south just east of the Project site and Western Avenue, traveling north-south within the vicinity to the west of the Project site. Additionally, the City is within close proximity to downtown Los Angeles (12 miles), and Los Angeles Ports (7 miles). The Project’s regional setting is illustrated in Figure 1: Local Vicinity Map.
LOCAL SETTING
The Project site is comprised of six parcels (APNs 6106-036-010, -012, -034, 035, -036, and -037) totaling approximately 6.33 acres located in the southern portion of the City. The City is bordered by the unincorporated West Athens community and the City of Hawthorne to the north, the cities of Los Angeles and Torrance to the south, the City of Los Angeles to the east, and the cities of Torrance and Hawthorne and Los Angeles County to the west.
The Specific Plan area is generally surrounded by commercial and residential land uses. Adjacent to the Specific Plan area are Artesia Boulevard and commercial uses to the north, residential and LA County Flood Control uses (Dominguez Channel) to the south, LA County Flood Control and railroad uses to the east, and live/work and multi-family residential uses directly to the west as depicted in Figure 2: Project Location.

CITY OF GARDENA | 1450 ARTESIA SPECIFIC PLAN
2.4 PROJECT HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
The Plan area was initially developed as early as the 1920s at which time was leased by Moneta Brick Company. The property was utilized for industrial purposes, with multiple sumps on the property for clay mining operations. The sumps were filled with sludge consisting of disposal material through the 1950s, including refinery wastes, tank bottom sludges, and rinse water acids and are known as the Copper and Haack properties or Gardena Sumps. The Gardena Sumps include four areas defined as the Cooper North Sump, Cooper South Sump, Haack Sump and Haack Rework Area. Figure 3: Gardena Sumps Locations, details the approximate location of the collective Gardena Sumps.
Development continued over portions of the sump areas in the following years, including excavations, which changed the grade and elevation of the site, as well as construction of parking lots and buildings. Starting in the 1980’s, the Department of Health Services (DHS) and Environmental Protection agency (EPA)’s Technical Assistance Team (TAT) confirmed the presence of hazardous materials and issued a Remedial Action Order on March 3, 1988.
By 1993, the eastern property was capped with a liner under the direction of the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC). Presently, multiple monitoring wells and cap are located on this portion of the property which limits redevelopment options. Remediation and monitoring efforts have been under a Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP) for the site, dated June 30, 2022, which DTSC approved. The Final RAP details excavation of impacted soils on a portion of the site, known as the Haack Rework Area, relocation of those contaminated soils to another portion of the site, known as the Cooper Sumps area, and installation of soil vapor probes and an engineered cap with a specialized geosynthetic cover and clean soil cover over the Haack Sump and Cooper Sumps. The remediation will be completed by Atlantic Richfield Company which is the responsible party that will implement the RAP, prior to the start of Project construction. The Final RAP includes provisions for a legal land use covenant to limit future uses of the site to commercial and industrial uses, which are consistent with the Project’s uses, as well as long-term operation, monitoring and maintenance of the cap and other remedy elements. The Project structure would only overlap with the remediated Haack Rework area. The portion of the Project site that overlaps the Haack and Cooper sumps areas would be paved and utilized exclusively as a parking lot which would be located atop the cap implemented as part of the DTSC-approved Final RAP. 2 - 7

2.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 2004 the City completed a citywide retail analysis which examined retail opportunities within and surrounding the City and summarized the opportunity for retail development at distinct locations within the City. The report found Artesia Boulevard offered a prime location for commercial development to attract quality commercial uses.
The City subsequently changed the General Plan land use designation for the majority of these properties from Industrial to General Commercial during the 2006 General Plan update. Additionally, in 2006 the City adopted the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan (referred to as the Artesia Corridor), to promote revitalization efforts. The Artesia Corridor Specific Plan provided for a mix of residential and commercial uses. Mixed use residential and commercial has been developed within parts of the Artesia Corridor.
On February 15, 2023, the City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element for 2021 – 2029.
At the same time, it also adopted Resolution No. 6620 updating the Land Use Plan, including changes to the Land Use Map, Urgency Ordinance No. 1847 amending the Zoning Code and revising the Zoning Map. The Resolution and Ordinance (Resolution No. 6620 & Ordinance No. 1848) also rescinded the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan, changed the land use designation for five of the six areas in the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan area, and rezoned all six Artesia Corridor Specific Plan areas. The property that is the subject of this Specific Plan retained the land use designation of Specific Plan, and the zoning was changed to 1450 Artesia Specific Plan with a Code amendment that it would be developed for industrial and commercial uses once a specific plan was adopted.
For historical purposes, the 1450 ASP area includes former Artesia Corridor Specific Plan Areas 4B and 5. See Figure 4: Previously Existing and 1450 Specific Plan Areas.
The Project includes redevelopment of mixed-use property comprised of a 268,000 gross-squarefoot (GSF) building with associated surface parking, and landscaping and circulation improvements.
The proposed development would contain a self-storage use (three levels over the bottom floor industrial totaling 186,000 GSF with up to 1,480 storage units), an industrial warehousing use (one level totaling 72,000 GSF plus up to ten loading docks), and an office/retail use (a mezzanine totaling 10,000 GSF).
Additionally, the City will host occasional, medium-size special events on an approximately 36,000-SF (0.8 acre) portion of the parking area. See Section 4.2 for a detailed list of the types of permitted events. The Project’s building design will incorporate engineering controls set forth within the approved Final RAP and Remedial Design and Implementation Plan (RDIP) detailed in Section 3.3. As implemented, the Final RAP will protect human health and the environment and make the Project site safe for use and occupancy for its intended commercial and industrial use. 2 - 9

CHAPTER 3.0: CONTEXT AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 PROJECT SITE AND LAND USES
The 1450 ASP area consists of six parcels (APNs 6106-036-010, -012, -034, -035, -036, and -037) totaling approximately 6.33 acres in size, situated between Artesia Boulevard and the Dominguez Flood Control Channel. Existing land uses in the 1450 ASP area included a light manufacturing parcel with current U-Haul and metal works facility, one vacant parcel with a Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) cap for contaminated sumps, and four residential parcels behind the industrial properties adjacent to the Dominguez Channel (1450, 1452, 1462 and 1472 West Artesia Boulevard) at the time the Plan was initiated. Three blighted homes were demolished prior to implementation of the Project with two additional structures to be removed as part of the Remedial Action Plan. Remaining structures will be removed as part of Project Implementation.
A map of the existing parcels and uses is provided in Figure 5: Existing Uses.

3.2 TOPOGRAPHY
The Project site’s topography is generally level, with areas that are gently to moderately sloping.
Artificial fill soils cover most of the site and are thickest near the center of the site where the Dominguez Creek was infilled, and at the eastern end of the site where a sump was excavated and filled.
An existing unpaved maintenance roadway owned by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District lies along the Dominguez Channel to the south of the site.
The Project site’s topographical survey is provided in Figure 6: Topographic Survey.
3.3 GEOLOGY AND SOILS
A geotechnical study of the 1450 ASP area was prepared by Carl Kim Geotechnical Inc. on February 4, 2022. Existing geology and soils conditions are taken from the geotechnical study.
Based on review of available geologic maps, the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The City is located within a seismically active region that includes numerous 3 - 15
CHAPTER 3.0: CONTEXT AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
active, potentially active, and inactive fault traces and, consequently, is subject to the risks and hazards associated with potentially destructive earthquakes. The area located along Artesia Boulevard and the Dominguez Flood Control Channel in the southern portion of the City is located within a liquefaction zone.
The primary geologic hazard at the site is moderate to strong ground motion (acceleration) caused by an earthquake on any of the local or regional faults. The potential for other earthquake-induced hazards was also evaluated including surface rupture, liquefaction, dynamic settlement, inundation and land sliding.
Based on available groundwater monitoring reports dated 2020, groundwater ranges from 12 and 14 feet below ground surface (bgs) from onsite monitoring well MW-05. It was recommended by the geotechnical consultant that a groundwater level of 10 feet below ground surface conservatively be assumed for design and construction.
Much of the site is underlain by sump materials. Due to the contaminants of concern remaining in the subsurface soil, engineering controls including an engineered cap over impacted soils, soil vapor probes and related features, and soil vapor barrier design with ventilation systems will be required for future construction as part of the building foundation designed to prevent indoor soil vapor intrusion.
3.4 HYDROLOGY
A hydrology study of the 1450 ASP area was prepared by Kimley-Horn & Associates on August 3, 2022, which concluded approximately 14,000 cu-ft must be detained onsite to attenuate the runoff and mitigate impacts to the surrounding area.
The grading pattern for the proposed development will largely be consistent with that of the existing condition and surface flow towards Artesia Boulevard and stormwater cisterns to be installed along the western boundary of the property. The site is currently approximately 74 percent impervious. The Project will increase the pervious area of the site by approximately 14 percent.
3.5 GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
As discussed in the Project History above, the Project site is designated Specific Plan2 and is consistently zoned as 1450 Artesia Specific Plan.
3.6 CIRCULATION
Three major freeways provide regional access to the Project site: I-405 to the south and west, and I-110 and SR-91 to the east. These freeways connect to the Project via Artesia Boulevard which runs along the northern boundary of the 1450 ASP area. Artesia Boulevard provides local access to the site, and is classified as a major divided arterial, with a total of six lanes. Local access to the Plan area is also provided from Normandie Avenue, traveling north-south just east of the Specific Plan area. The 405 freeway is also accessible from Western Avenue to the south of the Project site. A sidewalk along the south side of Artesia Boulevard provides pedestrian access to the site.

4.3 TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION PLAN
The circulation plan for the 1450 ASP is provided in Figure 8: Proposed Circulation Plan - Vehicular Access.
ON-SITE CIRCULATION AND ACCESS
An existing raised median along Artesia Boulevard limits access to eastbound right-turn entry/ right-turn exit site access only. The Project replaces two driveways on Artesia Boulevard, which currently allow both ingress and egress and are separated by approximately 100 feet. Two new driveways, one for ingress and one for egress, that are separated by a 20-foot landscape divide will be constructed as part of the Project. Each driveway will be 35-feet and located at the northwest corner of the Project site.
VEHICULAR ACCESS
The Project driveway will only service the Project. See Figure 8: Proposed Circulation Plan - Vehicular Access.
Figure 8: Proposed Circulation Plan - Vehicular Access N.T.S. 4 - 23
CHAPTER 4.0: SPECIFIC PLAN CONCEPTS
Parking will be located along the Project site’s northeastern portion. The Project proposes 124 automobile parking stalls and 10 dock doors. There is room for truck parking and staging within the secured truck parking. No parking will be allowed around the perimeter access loop.
TRUCK ACCESS
The dock doors would be oriented to face east. Trucks will access the Project similar to vehicular access with ingress within the northwest portion of the Project and circulation continuing along the western to southern edge of the property and into the loading docks. Trucks will exit the loading dock area heading north within the parking lot with egress back through the northwest of the Project site. The truck circulation will be a loop around the proposed building with an aim to ease flow of onsite traffic. See Figure 9: Proposed Circulation Plan - Truck Access.
Figure 9: Proposed Circulation Plan - Truck Access N.T.S. 4 - 24
CITY OF GARDENA | 1450 ARTESIA SPECIFIC PLAN
SPECIAL EVENTS TRUCK ACCESS
During the time of City special events, trucks will be required to exit the loading area in the same direction they entered and will not be allowed to circulate along the eastern and northeastern sides of the property. The City will be required to provide a temporary physical barrier to prevent circulation along the eastern and northern boundaries. Additionally, the City will be allowed to install temporary physical barriers to prevent vehicles from entering drive aisles near the event, provided that access is still provided to the parking areas for the self-storage uses. During the special events, the parking area for these events shall occur only in the Special Event Area as depicted in Figure 7a: Site Plan and Land Use Plan - Special Events Area with Circulation Buffer and in Figure 9a: Proposed Circulation Plan - Truck Access Special Events Area.

CHAPTER 7.0: GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
7.0 GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
7.1 APPLICABLE GOALS AND POLICIES
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN
The City’s General Plan establishes the overall vision for growth and development in the community.
The General Plan Land Use Plan establishes clear and logical patterns of land use and standards for new development.
The 1450 ASP provides for the orderly and efficient development and revitalization of the Specific Plan area consistent with the City’s General Plan. The 1450 ASP is a regulatory document prepared pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code sections 65450 through 65457, which grant local government agencies the authority to prepare specific plans for the systematic implementation of their general plan for all or part of the area covered by the general plan.
State law requires that any specific plan be consistent with the City’s General Plan. As the current Plan area is designated as Specific Plan, the 1450 ASP is in conformance with the General Plan Land Use Map.
RELATIONSHIP TO ZONING ORDINANCE
GMC Title 18 is the Zoning Ordinance, which provides the regulatory tool to implement the land use goals, policies, and actions established by the General Plan. The Zoning Ordinance identifies specific zone in the City and prescribes development standards and regulations that apply to each zone.
The Gardena Zoning Map identifies this property as 1450 Artesia Specific Plan. Section 18.08.015 of the Gardena Municipal Code provides that the 1450 Artesia SP zone is intended for a mix of commercial and industrial uses and no development will occur until a specific plan is adopted. 7 - 50
CITY OF GARDENA | 1450 ARTESIA SPECIFIC PLAN
This Specific Plan fulfills the requirements of this section and will be adopted by Ordinance to implement the zone.
Where the Zoning Ordinance’s regulations, development standards, design guidelines, and/or administrative procedures are inconsistent with this Specific Plan, the Specific Plan regulations, standards, guidelines, and procedures shall supersede. However, any issue not specifically addressed in the 1450 ASP shall be subject to the standards and regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
SPECIFIC PLAN POLICIES
The policies in this section were established specifically for the 1450 ASP and provide guidance for new development, protection of human health and the environment, and public improvements in the Plan area. These policies apply throughout the 1450 ASP area and supplement the General Plan policies outlined in the consistency analysis below. Development proposals must be consistent with the policies of both the General Plan and this 1450 ASP.
Policy 1: Appropriate Land Use Development. Accommodate the development of land uses that include redevelopment of an underutilized, blighted and environmentally impacted property with economically vibrant industrial and commercial uses while allowing for continued monitoring of remediated areas.
Policy 2: Quality Development. Achieve a long-term high-quality development by improving the aesthetic of the development for both workers and neighboring residents of the City with use of durable materials, pedestrian and streetscape amenities, attention to architectural detail, reduction of non-renewable resources, and limit pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
7.2 GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
The 1450 ASP is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT - LAND USE PLAN
LU Goal 2: Develop and preserve high quality commercial centers and clean industrial uses that benefit the City’s tax base, create jobs and provide a full range of services to the residents and businesses.
LU 2.1: Require ample landscaping and high-level maintenance in all new and existing commercial and industrial developments.
LU 2.2: Encourage the assembly of smaller commercial properties into larger centers and discourage the subdivision of larger commercial/industrial sites into smaller parcels.
Consistency: Consistent with LU Goal 2, the 1450 ASP’s objective is to redevelop an underutilized, blighted and environmentally impacted property including nonconforming uses with economically vibrant clean industrial and commercial uses along a major development corridor within the City that will replace the former waste oil and industrial water uses that resulted in such impacts.
Consistency: Consistent with LU Policy 2.1, the 1450 ASP would require a landscaping plan for new or expanding buildings and structures in conformance with mitigation measures in place (i.e., environmental cap), which do not allow for sub-surface disturbance. Further, areas that are not 7 - 51
CHAPTER 7.0: GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
slated for parking or aisleways shall be landscaped and evenly distributed throughout the parking lot.

Project site at a minimum of
200 feet away from discovered
human remains and/or burial
goods. This determination will
be made by the construction
monitor in consultation with the
principal archaeologist and if
the remains are potentially
Native American in origin, the
Gabrieleno Band of Mission
Indians-Kizh Nation. No further
constriction shall occur until
the construction monitor
and/or principal archaeologist
has given expressed consent of
that determination (along with
any other mitigation measures
the monitor and/or
archaeologist deems
necessary). (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15064.5[f]).
E. Any discovery of human
remains/burial goods shall be
kept confidential to prevent
further disturbance.

MM-TCR-4. Unanticipated Discovery of
Human Remains and Associated
Funerary Objects.
This mitigation measure shall only
apply if the Gabrieleno Band of
Mission Indians-Kizh Nation is
designated as the Most Likely
Descendant (“MLD”) by the NAHC.
A. The Koo-nas-gna Burial Policy
shall be implemented. To the
tribe, the term “human
remains” encompasses more
than human bones. In ancient
as well as historic times, tribal
traditions included, but were
not limited to, the preparation
of the soil for burial, the burial
of funerary objects with the
deceased, and the ceremonial
burning of human remains.
B. If the discovery of human
remains includes four or more
burials, the discovery location
shall be treated as a cemetery
During ground
disturbing activities
Consultation with the
Project Archaeologist
and Consulting Tribe(s)
as applicable in the
event of an
unanticipated
discovery of human
remains; Review and
approval of submitted
documentation
relating to the find
including a Final
Report submitted to
NAHC and the Tribe

and a separate treatment plan
shall be created.
C. The prepared soil and
cremation soils are to be
treated in the same manner as
bone fragments that remain
intact. Associated funerary
objects are objects that, as part
of the death rite or ceremony of
a culture, are reasonably
believed to have been placed
with individual human remains
either at the time of death or
later; other items made
exclusively for burial purposes
or to contain human remains
can also be considered as
associated funerary objects.
Cremations will either be
removed in bulk or by means as
necessary to ensure complete
recovery of all sacred materials.
D. In the case where discovered
human remains cannot be fully
documented and recovered on

the same day, the remains will
be covered with muslin cloth
and a steel plate that can be
moved by heavy equipment
placed over the excavation
opening to protect the remains.
If this type of steel plate is not
available, a 24-hour guard
should be posted outside of
working hours. The tribe will
make every effort to
recommend diverting the
Project and keeping the
remains in situ and protected.
If the Project cannot be
diverted, it may be determined
that burials will be removed.
E. In the event preservation in
place is not possible despite
good faith efforts by the Project
Applicant/developer and/or
landowner, before grounddisturbing activities may
resume on the Project site, the
landowner shall arrange a

the footprint of the Project for
the respectful reburial of the
human remains and/or
ceremonial objects.
F. Each occurrence of human
remains and associated
funerary objects will be stored
using opaque cloth bags. All
human remains, funerary
objects, sacred objects and
objects of cultural patrimony
will be removed to a secure
container on site if possible.
These items should be retained
and reburied within 6 months
of recovery. The site of
reburial/repatriation shall be
on the Project site but at a
location agreed upon between
the tribe and the landowner at
a site to be protected in
perpetuity. There shall be no
publicity regarding any cultural
materials recovered

G. The tribe will work closely with
the Project’s qualified
archaeologist to ensure that
the excavation is treated
carefully, ethically and
respectfully. If data recovery is
approved by the tribe,
documentation shall be
prepared and shall include (at a
minimum) detailed descriptive

forms of documentation shall
be approved in advance by the
tribe. If any data recovery is
performed, once complete, a
final report shall be submitted

scientific study or the utilization
of any invasive and/or
destructive diagnostics on
human remains.
