The Council letter contained an inaccurate description of the construction project. This item is returned for City Council consideration with an accurate project description.

The developer, Onni Broadway Block Long Beach, LLC (Developer), requests to subdivide to construct two towers, a 242-unit north tower at 330 East 3rd Street, and 190 unit south mid-rise tower at 333 East Broadway, totaling 432 residential dwelling units, in addition to reconstruction of the historic Acres of Books building at 240 Long Beach Boulevard as described in the Notice of Final Action approved by the Planning Commission on August 20, 2020 (Attachment B).

The Developer has submitted a duly certified final parcel map No. 82965 (Attachment C) which is in conformance with the conditions and requirements placed on the tentative

45 percent particulate reduction compared to the 2011
ARB fleet average, as contained in the URBEMIS
output sheets in Appendix C. Acceptable options for
reducing emissions may include use of late-model
engines, low-emission diesel products, alternative fuels, engine retrofit technology, after-treatment products,
and/or other options as they become available.

SCAQMD, which is the resource agency for air quality
in the Project area, can be used in an advisory role to demonstrate fleet-wide reductions. SCAQMD’s
mitigation measures for off-road engines can be used to identify an equipment fleet that achieves this reduction (SCAQMD 2007b).
 The project applicant shall submit to the City a
comprehensive inventory of all off-road construction
equipment, equal to or greater than 50 hp, that would
be used an aggregate of 40 or more hours during any

emissions from the use of onsite equipment, worker
commute trips, and truck trips carrying materials and
equipment to and from the project site, as well as GHG
emissions embodied in the materials selected for
construction (e.g., concrete). Other measures may pertain to the materials used in construction. Prior to the
construction of each development phase, the project
applicant(s) shall obtain the most current list of GHG- reduction measures that are recommended by the City
and/or SCAQMD and stipulate that these measures be
implemented during the appropriate construction phase.

The project applicant(s) for any particular development phase may submit to the City a report that substantiates why specific measures are considered infeasible for
construction of that particular development phase and/or at that point in time. The report, including the
substantiation for not implementing particular GHG-
reduction measures, shall be approved by the City.

The City’s recommended measures for reducing
construction-related GHG emissions at the time of writing this PEIR are listed below and the project applicant(s) shall, at a minimum, be required to implement the
following:
 Improve fuel efficiency from construction equipment:
o reduce unnecessary idling (modify work practices,
install auxiliary power for driver comfort),
o perform equipment maintenance (inspections, detect
failures early, corrections),
o train equipment operators in proper use of
equipment,

 Use alternative fuels for electricity generators and
welders at construction sites such as propane or solar, or use electrical power.
 Use an ARB-approved low-carbon fuel, such as
biodiesel or renewable diesel for construction
equipment (emissions of NOX from the use of low
carbon fuel must be reviewed and increases mitigated).

Additional information about low-carbon fuels is
available from ARB’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard
Program (ARB 2010a).
 Encourage and provide carpools, shuttle vans, transit passes and/or secure bicycle parking for construction
worker commutes.
 Reduce electricity use in the construction office by
using compact fluorescent bulbs, powering off
computers every day, and replacing heating and cooling
units with more efficient ones.
 Recycle or salvage non-hazardous construction and
demolition debris (goal of at least 75 percent by weight).  Use locally sourced or recycled materials for
construction materials (goal of at least 20 percent
based on costs for building materials, and based on
volume for roadway, parking lot, sidewalk, and curb
materials).
 Minimize the amount of concrete used for paved
surfaces or use a low carbon concrete option.
 Produce concrete onsite if determined to be less
emissive than transporting ready mix.
 Use EPA-certified SmartWay trucks for deliveries and equipment transport. Additional information about the
SmartWay Transport Partnership Program is available

 For each increment of new development, the project
applicant shall obtain a list of potentially feasible GHG reduction measures to be considered in the
development design from the City. The City’s list of
potentially feasible GHG reduction measures shall
reflect the current state of the regulatory environment, which will continuously evolve under the mandate of AB

32. The project applicant(s) shall then submit to the
City a mitigation report that contains an analysis
demonstrating which GHG reduction measures are
feasible for the associated reduction in GHG emissions, and the resulting CO

reviewed and approved by the City for the project
applicant(s) to receive the City’s discretionary approval for the applicable increment of development. In
determining what measures should appropriately be
imposed by a local government under the
circumstances, the following factors shall be
considered:
o The extent to which rates of GHG emissions
generated by motor vehicles traveling to, from, and
within the Project site are projected to decrease over
time as a result of regulations, policies, and/or plans that have already been adopted or may be adopted
in the future by ARB or other public agency pursuant
to AB 32, or by EPA;
o The extent to which mobile-source GHG emissions,
which at the time of writing this PEIR comprise a
substantial portion of the state’s GHG inventory, can
also be reduced through design measures that result
in trip reductions and reductions in trip length;
o The extent to which GHG emissions emitted by the

Portfolio Standard required by SB 1078 and SB 107,
as well as any future regulations, policies, and/or
plans adopted by the federal and state governments
that reduce GHG emissions from power generation;
o The extent to which replacement of CCR Title 24
with the California Green Building Standards Code or
other similar requirements will result in new buildings being more energy efficient and consequently more
GHG efficient;
o The extent to which any stationary sources of GHG
emissions that would be operated on a proposed
land use (e.g., industrial) are already subject to
regulations, policies, and/or plans that reduce GHG
emissions, particularly any future regulations that will be developed as part of ARB’s implementation of AB
32, or other pertinent regulations on stationary
sources that have the indirect effect of reducing GHG
emissions;
o The extent to which the feasibility of existing GHG
reduction technologies may change in the future, and
to which innovation in GHG reduction technologies
will continue, effecting cost-benefit analyses that
determine economic feasibility; and
o Whether the total costs of proposed mitigation for
GHG emissions, together with other mitigation
measures required for the proposed development,
are so great that a reasonably prudent property
owner would not proceed with the project in the face
of such costs.
 In considering how much, and what kind of, mitigation is necessary in light of these factors, the following list of options shall be considered, though the list is not
intended to be exhaustive, as GHG-emission reduction
strategies and their respective feasibility are likely to evolve over time. These measures are derived from

measures to reduce noise levels to the maximum extent
feasible. The letter report shall include all measurement and calculation data used in determining impacts and
resolutions. The letter report shall be provided to code enforcement for determining the adequacy and if the
recommendations are adequate.

Mitigation Measure Noise-1(b) The City will require the following measures, where applicable based on noise
level of source, proximity of receptors, and presence of intervening structures, to be incorporated into contract specifications for construction projects within 300 feet of existing noise sensitive land uses (including, but not
limited to residences, schools, hospitals/nursing homes, churches, and parks) implemented under the proposed
Plan:
 Temporary noise barriers shall be constructed around
construction sites adjacent to, or within 150 feet of,
operational business, residences, or other noise-
sensitive land uses. Temporary noise barriers shall be constructed of material with a minimum weight of 4
pounds per square foot with no gaps or perforations.

Noise barriers may be constructed of, but are not
limited to, 5/8-inch plywood, 5/8-inch oriented strand
board, or hay bales.

If a project-specific noise analysis determines that the barriers described above would not be sufficient to avoid a significant construction noise impact, a temporary sound control blanket barrier, shall be erected along building façades facing construction sites. This mitigation would only be necessary if conflicts occurred that were

Mitigation Measure Noise-2(a) The City shall review all construction projects for potential vibration-generating activities from demolition, excavation, pile– driving, and construction within 100 feet of existing structures and shall require site-specific vibration studies to be conducted to determine the area of impact and to identify appropriate mitigation measures. The studies shall, at a minimum,
include the following:
 Identification of the project’s vibration compaction activities, pile driving, and other vibration-generating activities that have the potential to generate ground-
borne vibration; and the sensitivity of nearby structures to ground-borne vibration. This task should be
conducted by a qualified structural engineer.
 A vibration monitoring and construction contingency
plan to identify structures where monitoring would be
conducted; establish a vibration monitoring schedule;
define structure-specific vibration limits; and address the need to conduct photo, elevation, and crack surveys to document before and after construction conditions.

Construction contingencies shall be identified for
actions to be taken when vibration levels approached
the defined vibration limits.
 Maintain a monitoring log of vibrations during initial demolition activities and during pile driving activities.

Monitoring results may indicate the need for a more or
less intensive measurement schedule.

Traffic and Circulation
Mitigation Measure Traf-1(a) As the system’s capacity is reached, it will become important to manage the street
system in a more efficient and coordinated manner.

Improvements to the Project area transportation system
are proposed as part of the overall Downtown
development, including improvements that have been
required of other area projects previously approved by the City. Therefore, the mitigation focuses on improvements that would not require significant additional rights-of-way and are achievable within the life of the Plan. There are five proposed mitigation measures for the Downtown Plan, as follows:

1. Implement traffic control system improvements in
Downtown on selected arterials.

2. Improve the Alamitos Aven ue corridor via removal of selected parking spaces and the implementation of
additional travel lanes plus bike lanes in each direction.

The proposed project would be required to impl ement Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-6, identified in Table 1, above. However, Mitigati on Measure AQ-2 has been revised for the project as follows:

AQ-2: Mitigation to reduce mobile source emissi ons due to implementation of the Plan addresses reducing the number of motor vehicle trips and reducing the emissions of individual vehicles under the control of the project applicant(s). The following measures shall be implemented by project applicant(s) unless it can be demonstrated to the City that the measures would not be feasible. a) The project applicant(s) for all project phases shall require the commercial development operator(s) to operate, ma intain, and promote a ride-share program for employees of the various businesses.
b) The project applicant(s) for all project phases shall include one or more secure bicycle parking areas within the property and encourage bicycle riding for both employees and customers.
c) The proposed structures shall be designed to meet current Title 24 + 20 percent energy efficiency standards and shall include photovoltaic cells on the rooftops to achieve an additional 25 percent reduction in electricity use on an average sunny day.
d) The City shall ensure that all commercial developments include shower and locker facilities for employees to encourage bicycle, walking, and jogging as options for commuting.
e) The project applicant(s) for all project phases shall require that all equipment operated by the businesses within the facility be electric or use non-diesel engines.
f) All truck loading and unloading docks shall be equipped with one 110/208-volt power outlet for every two-dock door. Diesel trucks shall be prohibited from idling more than 5 minutes and must be required to connect to the 110/208-volt power to run any auxiliary equipment. Signs outlining the idling restrictions shall be provided.
g) If, at the time of construction, SCAQMD, CARB, or EPA has adopted a regulation or new guidance applicable to mobile- and area-source emissions, compliance with the regulation or new guidance may completely or partially replace this mi tigation if it is equal to or more effective than the mitigation contained herein, and if the City so permits.

Such a determination shall be supported by a project-level analysis that is approved by the City.

Clarification for the Broadway Blocks Project: This mitigation measure is intended to reduce energy use. The project would be required to meet the Title 24 energy efficiency standards in effect at the time of building permit issuance, which may be more stringent than the current standards. The Title 24 energy efficiency standards are updated approximately every th ree years. The next update to the Title 24 energy efficiency st andards is anticipated to be adopted in 2019 and become effective in 2020 (CEC 2018). These standards will improve upon the current standards for residential and nonresi dential buildings and may result in an equal or more effective reduction in energy and completely or partially replace Attachment B

the mitigation measure. The project shall comply with the energy reduction requirements of this mitigation measure or provide evidence to the satisfaction of the City that the Title 24 energy efficiency standards in effect at the time of building permit issuance result in an equal or more effective reduction in energy.

(Broadway Block Modification of Approved Permit Project) Application No. 2003-01
August 20, 2020

Project Description
The proposed project (“Broadway Block Modification of Approved Permit Project”) consists of a modification of the previously-approved Broadway Block project to add 32 dwelling units to the previously-approved total of 400, and approval of a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map.

The approved Broadway Block project (see Application No. 1710-08) consists of a 23- story high-rise residential tower (“North Building”) with 234 units, a seven-story low-rise residential building with 166 units (“South Building”), totaling 400 units, and 501 parking stalls in two full levels of subterranean garage and two smaller at-grade and mezzanine levels, with 90 bicycle parking stalls. The approved project also includes approximately 15,785 sq. ft. of ground-floor and second-floor retail/office/personal service tenant space, and approximately 9,289 sq. ft. of restaurant/food hall space in the former Acres of Books historic landmark building. The approved project also consi sts of rebuilding the shell of the Acres of Books building, while retaining the historic façade and certain building elements. (See project file no. 1708-10, addressed as 200–256 Long Beach Blvd., for full details on the approved project) The project is currently under construction, with the excavation and foundations nearing completion, and the historic Acres of Books façade protected in place.

The proposed project (the “ Modification” for short ) proposes to add 32 units to the approved total, with 8 new units in the North Building, and 24 new units in the South Building. This would be achieved mainly by splitting existing larger 2- and 3- bedroom units into 1-bedroom and studio units. A small amount of additional floor area also will be added to both buildings: 2,196 sq. ft. to the North Building, and 810 sq. ft. to the South Building. No new parking stalls will be added for the increased number of units. Parking compliance with zoning development standards will be provided through a process in the Downtown Plan (PD-30), the zoning document for the project site, which allows the Site Plan Review Committee to waive or reduce the required number of parking stalls if the developer provides satisfactory Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and benefits for the project. Overall, the proposed project represents an eight percent (8%) increase in the number of dwelling for the overall project. The Modification will not increase the height or number of stories of the project buildings , with nearly all the floor area of the added units located within the approved building envelopes. The project also includes a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the site into one master ground lot and two airspace lots. See project file for Application No. 2003-01 for full details.

Attachment D

The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures proposed by the project applicant to meet the requirements of the Downtown Plan in lieu of providing parking stalls for the additional units include the following:
• A Transportation Management Office (TMO) for the residential and commercial components of the project, which will oversee the implementation of TDM strategies and goal achievement, distribute ridesharing and carpool information, distribute transit information, market and promote the TDM strategies it manages, maintain a TDM display in a centralized area of the project, and periodically evaluate and refine the TDM program.
• Encouragement of Alternative Modes of Travel for Residents, including unbundled parking (rental of parking spaces to project residents separately from rental of dwelling units), establishing an on-site telecommuting center for residents to work from home on-site, provision of quality on-site bicycle parking and bike repair , a discounted transit pass program, and proximity to high-quality bus and light -rail transit.
• Encouragement of Alternative Modes of Travel for Employees, including alternative work arrangements (staggered work hours and compressed work weeks), carpooling, a discounted transit pass program, proximity to high-quality bus and light-rail transit, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. • Annual transit pass credit for 20% of the residential unit s (87 units), consisting of a $200 annual transit pass credit upon request, with a five (5) year program duration.

Background and CEQA History
In December 2010, the City prepared a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (the “Downtown Plan PEIR,” State Clearinghouse No. 2009071006) for the Downtown Plan, and circulated the PEIR for public review. In November 2011, a Final PEIR was prepared and certified by the City Council.
1 The City was the public agency that had the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving the Downtown Plan, and as such was the “Lead Agency” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15367). The PEIR analyzes the potential environmental impacts that may result from the implementation of the Downtown Plan, which covers an area of approximately 719 acres, including the project site of the Broadway Block project. The PEIR assumed that full implementation of the Downtown Plan could increase the density and intensity of existing Downtown land uses by allowing up to 1) approximately 5,000 new residential dwelling units; 2) 1.5 million square feet of new office, civic, cultural, and similar uses; 3) 384,000 square feet of new retail; 4) 96,000 square feet of new restaurants, and 5) 800 new hotel rooms. This build-out was assumed over a 25-year timeline ending in 2035.

The Downtown Plan PEIR provides a programmatic level of environmental impact analysis for a broad array of environmental topics for the entire Downtown Plan area. The PEIR analyzes the impacts of the above-described buildout scenario, and determined that 1 Available on City of Long Beach Department of Development Services website under “Final Downtown Plan EIR.” http://www.longbeach.gov/lbds/planning/environmental/reports/ Attachment D

the Downtown Plan would cause significant and unavoidable impacts to the following resource areas: aesthetics (shadow impacts), air quality (construction and operation) , cultural resources (historic), greenhouse gases, noise (construction vibration), population and housing, public services, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems (solid waste). All other resource areas were determined to have impacts that were either less than significant or less than significant with mitigation.

On March 3, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the Broadway Block project, and accepted an Addendum to the Downtown Plan Program EIR (the Broadway Block Project Downtown Plan EIR Addendum, or the “Addendum” for short). See the Addendum in the Broadway Block project file, no. 1708-10, for full details. The Addendum prepared for the Broadway Block project analyzed the project within the scope of the D owntown Plan PEIR; each environmental issue of the Broadway Block project was analyzed against the findings of the Downtown PEIR to determine if the impacts of the Broadway Block project were within the envelope of impacts documented for the Downtown Plan in the PEIR.

In the Addendum for the Broadway Block project, Air Quality was the only resource area identified as having potentially significant impacts not identified in the Downtown Plan PEIR. However, the environmental analysis in the Addendum found that for all Air Quality impact areas, the Broadway Block project would have the same or less impacts as analyzed in the Downtown Plan PEIR. Mitigation Measure AQ-2, which relates to mobile source emissions, was revised to further ensure that the Broadway Block project would not exceed the impact analysis for the Downtown Plan PEIR. All other impact areas for the Broadway Block project were found to have the same or less impact as analyzed in the Downtown Plan PEIR.

At the time of the preparation of this report, the 5,000 dwelling units analyzed for the Downtown Plan PEIR are all accounted for by existing entitlements ; however, less than half of these have been built, per the below table:

Additionally, although the full measure of residential units analyzed in the Downtown Plan PEIR have been entitled since adoption of the Downtown Plan, much of the other development scope analyzed by the Downtown Plan has seen little if any development.

This includes 1.5 million square feet of new office, civic, cultural, and similar uses; 384,000 square feet of new retail; 96,000 square feet of new restaurants ; and 800 new hotel rooms. This development has largely failed to materialize within the Downtown Plan area since plan adoption due to market forces. Of particular note is that nearly zero square feet of new office area has been developed, despite analysis for 1.5 million square feet and the impacts associated with that development.

Conformance of Proposed Project with Addendum
The proposed project (Broadway Block Modification of Approved Permit Project) proposes to add 32 dwelling units to the 400 approved for the Broadway Block project.

As noted above, nearly all of these 32 additional dwelling units would be added by splitting approved (entitled but not yet built) 2- and 3-bedroom dwelling units into 1-bedroom and studio units on the project plans . A small amount of additional floor area also would be constructed as part of the proposed project, totaling 3,006 sq. ft. and split between the two project buildings. The project would not require the construction of additional stories and would involve a very minimal expansion of approved floor area, consisting of 3,006 additional sq. ft. added to the approved project total of approximately 454,294 sq. ft.

Overall this represents an eight percent (8%) increase in the number of dwelling units, and a 0.007% increase in project floor area. Additionally, the developer is not proposing to add any parking stalls to the approved total of 501 in conjunction with this modification project; therefore, for CEQA purposes, the project should not directly increase vehicular traffic. Additionally, the TDM measures that will be implemented will offset any actual increased vehicular travel demands associated with the project.

While the 5,000 dwelling units analyzed for the Downtown Plan PEIR have been exceeded and this project will add to that exceedance, this fact is more than offset by the complete lack of new commerci al office space development within the Downtown Plan area. The anticipated 1.5 million sq. ft. of commercial office space and associated impacts have not materialized, being neither entitled nor constructed. Neither is this commercial development anticipated to take place within the ending timeline horizon of the Downtown Plan PEIR, which is tentatively expected to be updated within the next 3 to 5 years.

Therefore, for purposes of CEQA analysis and compliance for this project, the City considers this residential development and associated impacts to fall well within the scope of development and impacts analyzed for the Downtown Plan PEIR in the absence of substantial commercial office development, and in light of this the City finds that the proposed project will not cause any new substantial impacts, nor substantially increase existing impacts analyzed by the Downtown Plan PEIR and the Addendum prepared for the Broadway Block project.

CEQA Guidelines Provisions
Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) establishes when a subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or Negative Declaration (ND) shall be prepared.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record that additional analysis i s required. As stated in the following analysis, the proposed project would be consistent with the previously-accepted Broadway Block Project EIR Addendum, and no new impacts would occur, nor would any known impacts be greater than the levels at which they were analyzed in the Addendum.

Therefore, no subsequent environmental analysis is warranted under CEQA.

CEQA Section 15162:
(a) WHEN A N EIR HA S BEEN CERTIFIED OR A NEGA TIVE DECLA RA TION

ADOPTED FOR A PROJECT, NO SUBSEQUENT EIR SHALL BE PREPARED

SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS;
The Broadway Block Project Downtown Plan EIR Addendum (“Addendum”) analyzed the Broadway Block project within the scope of the previously -certified Downtown Plan Program EIR (“Downtown Plan PEIR”). The Addendum found that the Broadway Block project would be within the scope of the certified Downtown Plan PEIR, and would not cause any new or increased impacts beyond those analyzed in the PEIR. The requested action, approval of a modification to the Broadway Block Project (the “Broadway Block Development Modification”) would increase the approved number of units from 400 to 432 (an 8% increase) and would allow the addition of 3,006 sq. ft. to the total project floor area (a 0.007% increase). No new building stories would be added, and the building envelope would substantially remain the same as the approved project. N o new parking stalls would be added as part of this modification either. As such, the proposed project does not represent a substantial change to the approved project that would require major revisions of the certified PEIR or an additional Addendum.

The Addendum was prepared in 2017 and adopted in early 2018, and no changes have occurred related to site or project circumstances that would result in additional environmental impacts. The project scope of the Broadway Block Development Modification project remains substantially similar to the approved Broadway Block project. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken which will require major revisions of the certified PEIR or an additional Addendum due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified environmental effects.

The mitigation measures of the PEIR will remain in effect for the proposed project. The adopted mitigation measures will remain feasible and in effect for the project, as there has been no change or increase in the project scope that would create any new significant environmental effects, or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified environmental effects. No mitigation measures previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project.

The Addendum found the Broadway Block project to be within the scope of the environmental impacts analyzed in the Downtown Plan PEIR. The mitigation measures of the PEIR will remain in effect for the proposed project. The adopted mitigation measures will remain feasible, as there has been no change or increase in the project scope that would create any new significant environmental effects, or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified environmental effects. No new mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the Addendum would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project.

(Application No. 2003-01)
On March 1, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the Broadway Block proj ect (Applicat ion No. 1710- 08), consisting of a 23-story h igh-rise residential tower ("North Building") with 234 units, a seven-story low­ rise residential building with 166 units ("South Building"), totaling 400 units, and 501 parking stalls in two full levels of subterranean garage and two smaller at-grade and mezzanine levels, with 90 bicycle parking stalls.

The approved project also includes approximately 15,785 sq. ft. of ground-floor and second-floor retail/office/personal service tenant space, and approximately 9,289 sq. ft. of restaurant/food hall space in the fo rmer Acres of Books histor ic landmark building. The approved project also consists of rebuilding the shell of the Acres of Books bui lding, while retaining the historic fac;:ade and certain building elements . At the time of this report, the project is current ly under construction, with the excavation and foundations nearing completion, and the historic Acres of Books fac;:ade protected in place. The project site is located on the half­ block bounded by Broadway on the south, 3rd Street on the north, Long Beach Blvd. on the west, and the alley named Alamo Court on the east (Exhibit A - Vicinity Map). The site is located within the Downtown Plan (PD-30) Planned Development District.

The developer proposes to add 32 units to the approved total, with 8 new units in the North Building, and 24 new units in the South Building, for a new total of 432 units. This would be achieved mainly by splitting existing larger 2- and 3- bedroom units into 1-bedroom and studio units. A small amount of addit ional floor area also will be added to both buildings: 2,196 sq. ft. to the North Building, and 810 sq. ft. to the South Building, for a tota l of 3,006 new sq. ft. (Exhibit B - Plans). Overall, the proposed project represents an eight t

percent (8%) increase in the number of dwelling for the overall project, and a 0.007 percent increase in building area. The Modification will not increase the height or number of stories of the project buildings, with nearly all the floor area of the added units located within the approved building envelopes. The project also includes a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the site into one master ground lot and two airspace lots, on a net 2.046-acre site. The Table below summarizes the differences between the approved project and the requested modification:

No new parking stalls will be added for the increased number of units, where normally 39 new stalls would be required. Parking compliance with zoning development standards will be provided through a process in the Downtown Plan (PD-30), the zoning document for the project site, which allows the Site Plan Review Committee to waive or reduce the required number of parking stalls if the developer provides satisfactory Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and benefits for the project. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures proposed by the project applicant to meet the requirements of the Downtown Plan in lieu of providing 39 additional parking stalls for the additional units includes the following:

• A Transportation Management Office (TMO) for the residential and commercial components of the project, which will oversee the implementation of TDM strategies and goal achievement, distribute ridesharing and carpool information, distribute transit information, market and promote the TDM strategies it manages, maintain a TDM display in a centralized area of the project, and periodically evaluate and refine the TDM program. • Encouragement of Alternative Modes of Travel for Residents, including unbundled parking (rental of parking spaces to project residents separately from rental of dwelling units), establishing an on­ site telecommuting center for residents to work from home on-site, provision of quality on-site bicycle parking and bike repair, a discounted transit pass program, and proximity to high-quality bus and light-rail transit.
• Encouragement of Alternative Modes of Travel for Employees, including alternative work arrangements (staggered work hours and compressed work weeks), carpooling, a discounted transit pass program, proximity to high-quality bus and light-rail transit, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
• Annual transit pass credit for 20 percent of the residential units (87 units), consisting of a $200 annual transit pass credit upon request, with a five (5) year program duration.

This TDM plan has been approved by the Site Plan Review Committee, and due to the transit pass credit that has been included for more than double the number of added units under the proposed modification, it is expected to reasonably offset the added vehicular traffic and parking demand increase from the 32 additional dwelling units.

The developer also requests the approval of a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map for this project. The map will subdivide the net 2.046-acre site into one master ground lot, and two airspace lots. One airspace lot will contain the reconstructed Acres of Books building, which is proposed to be used as a restaurant/food hall space; the other airspace lot will contain the entire remainder of the development (Exhibit C - Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 82965).

Two entitlements are required for this project. The first is a Modification to Approved Permit (Planning Commission-level), and the second is a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map. For a Modification of Permit, Section

21.21.405 of the Zoning Regulations states, "An approved permit, variance or other entitlement may be modified as long as the modification is found to further the purposes of the Zoning Regulations." The Site Plan Review Committee has found that this project will further the purposes of the Zoning Regulations (in this case, the Downtown Plan, which is the zoning and development standards document in effect for the project site) by permitting a development that further meets the intent and goals of the Downtown Plan by meeting the Guiding Principles for Downtown Long Beach (p. 9 of the Downtown Plan) and the enhanced mobility goals (p. 10 of the Downtown Plan) that encourage development and density in a manner the reduces automobile dependency. These are summarized below:

Downtown Plan Guiding Principles
1) Promote the development of a distinctive downtown skyline, providing a vibrant, compact city core attracting cosmopolitan and creative people.
2) Ensure Downtown acts as the heart of the city, connecting with the neighborhoods and coastline. 3) Encourage an infrastructure to accommodate a future that is less dependent on fossil fuels and more focused on walking, bicycling, and public transportation. 4) Invite and support new industries to invest in our future so that we can continue to diversify our economy and promote job growth while strengthening our existing backbone of convention, tourism, and port business.

5) Endorse bold architecture, planning, and construction that utilize green building technology and incorporate sustainable energy.
6) Demand quality in building practices in order to ultimately create historical masterpieces. 7) Value our buildings of historic merit and seek to preserve or restore them through adaptive reuse. 8) Include the best aspects of an innovative global city: dynamic architecture, light-filled public spaces, active recreation, celebration of our unique culture, and respect for the natural environment.
9) Work together to ensure the success of this vision and it is our promise to the City and its residents to invest in the future.

Enhanced Mobility Goals - Destination Downtown
1) Embrace a "park once" philosophy in the Downtown, stressing the utilization of Downtown's existing surplus of public parking and a renewed emphasis on shared use of parking facilities. 2) Facilitate walkability using initiatives such as the recent Pine Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project as a model for other pedestrian right-of-way enhancements in Downtown. 3) Strengthen connectivity between Downtown and areas south of Pine Avenue, such as the convention center, The Pike, Shoreline Village, and the Alamitos Beach bike path, to attract visitors to and from the waterfront.
4) Introduce standards that allow for future transit innovation-such as the reintroduction of the streetcar-and the necessary infrastructure improvements that would lend to its success. 5) Encourage high-density, transit-oriented development near existing Blue Line corridors to maximize usage of existing transit systems and support their success through regulations aimed at improved streetscape and building design along routes. 6) Uphold the title of The Most Bicycle Friendly City in America through the enhancement of existing bicycle amenities, such as the Bikestation; building on the successes of Downtown's dedicated 3rd Street and Broadway bicycle lanes; and integrating the Downtown's bicycle-friendly roads and bikeways with the City's greater bicycle path network.

Staff finds that the project conforms to and furthers these goals, as applicable, through its use of high-rise construction, high quality architecture, dense development, the project's location at the heart of Downtown between the Metro A Line (formerly Blue Line) and the Broadway and 3rd Street bikeways, and the high­ quality transit amenities, credits, and bicycle infrastructure provided to residents and on-site employees.

Additionally, the Site Plan Review findings from the original Broadway Block project approval are presented for the record. The site plan review process is established by code to meet certain community goals which are, among others, to ensure that the highest quality of land planning and design are incorporated into development projects, to ensure that new projects are compatible with existing neighborhoods in terms of scale, style and construction materials, and to ensure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement and protection of the environment. These findings, which review the site plan, programming, building design and architecture, and compliance with the General Plan and zoning standards, have not changed with the proposed modification (Exhibit D - Original Broadway Block Project Site Plan Review Findings). The modification to the project results in additional dwelling units which advances the City's housing goals as outlined in the Housing Element of the General Plan. Positive findings for the modification to the prior Site Plan review approval can be made (Exhibit E - Findings).

The second required entitlement is for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map. Staff makes positive findings for the Tentative Map, finding that the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan, the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan, the site is physically suitable for the type of development, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, that the design of the Attachment E

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
August 20, 2020

subdivision or proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to fish and wildlife or their habitat; that the design of the subdivision or the type of improvement is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems; and that the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Modification to Approved Permit and the Tentative Map. Staff has included appropriate conditions of approval to ensure the proposed project will be consistent with the requirements of the findings and the Zoning Regulations and will operate without negative impacts upon the surrounding community (Exhibit F - Conditions of Approval}.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A total of 2,376 notices of public hearing were distributed on August 4, 2020, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Long Beach Municipal Code. Additionally, a 118th page notice of public hearing was published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on August 5, 2020, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Long Beach Municipal Code. No public comments were received at the time the report was prepared. Any comments received following the preparation and publication of this report will be forwarded to the Planning Commission as they are received.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA} and the CEQA Guidelines, this project was analyzed as part of the previously-certified Downtown Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2009071006) and the Broadway Block Project Downtown Plan EIR Addendum. A Statement of Support and Environmental Compliance Determination were prepared for this project (Exhibit G - Statement of Support and Environmental Compliance Determination}. The statement and determination found that the project will not result in any new significant impacts or any increased significant that exceed those analyzed in the Downtown Plan PEIR and Addendum, with mitigation measures incorporated. The development is subject to the Downtown Plan PEIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP}, which is attached to the checklist. The MMRP is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project. For each mitigation measure recommended in the PEIR that applies to the applicant's proposal, specifications are made in the MMRP that identify the action required and the monitoring that must occur.

The party responsible for verifying compliance with individual mitigation measures is identified in the MMRP as well.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that no further environmental analysis is required under CEQA.
