community needs, including providing for new service providers, realigning existing amenities as well as new amenities to better serve CVC residents.

Background
The Plan Area is a 27-acre portion of a former United States Naval housing facility. The Plan Area had been part of a larger naval housing complex serving the Navy’s shipyards starting in the 1950s and was closed in 1991 as part of the United States Department of Defense’s (DoD) Base Realignment and Closure Commission. In 1997, the DoD transferred the land under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney Act), which makes unused federal properties available to assist the unhoused population. The Plan Area was conveyed to primarily benefit the unhoused and was part of the larger 140-acres of federal property that was included in the Long Beach Naval Station decommissioning. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Villages at Cabrillo was established in 1997 when the DoD transferred the 27 acres of land that make up the Plan Area to CVC for the purpose of providing transitional and permanent housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

The CVC Plan Area is located on the western edge of the City of Long Beach, nearly two and half miles to the northwest of Long Beach’s Downtown area (Attachment A – Vicinity Map). It is bordered by Cabrillo High School and associated campus facilities to the north and east, California State Long Beach Technology and industrial uses (warehouse, distribution and logistics) to the south, Long Beach Job Corps Center to the east, and warehouse, distribution and logistics uses to the west, across State Route 103 (SR-103, also known as the Terminal Island Freeway).

CVC Plan Area
When originally opened in 1997, the Century Villages at Cabrillo Plan Area primarily utilized rehabilitated former navy housing with rehabilitation and new construction introduced over time. By the conclusion of 2018, the entirety of CVC had been developed with new residential uses or the rehabilitation of existing structures. Major redevelopment of CVC occurred over six phases beginning in 2001 and concluding in 2020. Over the six phases, a total of 865 dwelling units, 54,730 nonresidential square feet (SF), and 512 parking spaces exist within the Plan Area.
• Phase I, completed in 2001 – Community-based outpatient clinic, childcare center, transitional school facilities, family shelter, housing for families, youth and veterans, a central kitchen and dining facility and a career center and computer lab. This first phase primarily focused on the rehabilitation and reuse of existing structures on the campus.
• Phase 2, completed in 2004 – Casa de Cabrillo, a permanent housing project for single veterans. The improvements include the park lot north of Casa de Cabrillo as well as the construction of North and West Willard Streets.

• Phase 3, completed in 2009 – Family Commons at Cabrillo, an 81-unit affordable housing apartment complex designed specially for families. In early 2012, CVC completed a new 14-unit emergency shelter that expanded an existing shelter and provides emergency housing to families for up to 45 days. • Phase 4, completed in 2014 – Cabrillo Gateway housing includes 80 permanent supportive housing for families. Also included during this phase was renovation of the Urban Forest, Soar Shed and new Facilities Maintenance Building. • Phase 5, completed in 2018 – Anchor Place, a 120-unit apartment building that includes housing for 75 homeless veterans. This phase also included a new Transit Center and the rehabilitation of the CVC Social Hall.
• Phase 6, approved in 2020 – The Cove, a 90-unit apartment building providing housing for veterans is currently under construction.

CVC has developed into a supportive housing community campus that provides housing on any given night to over 1,500 persons. These include veteran and non-veteran individuals, families, youth, and children who are housed within CVC’s robust continuum of supportive housing, ranging from shelter, to transitional housing, to permanent housing.

CVC has partnered with more than thirty established service providers to procure these much needed services which include, case management, life skills training, substance abuse treatment, affordable child care, a homeless education program, an employment center, a career center, a food service program, and a VA medical clinic among and other services.

Current Zoning
The CVC Plan Area is located in the California State University Research and Technology Center/Villages at Cabrillo Long Beach Vets Planned Development District (PD-31), Subarea D. Subarea D promotes the adaptive reuse of the existing housing and supporting facility buildings for the express purpose of providing transitional housing and support services to the unhoused veterans and the unhoused population of the Long Beach metropolitan area. The Plan Area has been developed and redeveloped over the past 70 years. Existing land uses in the Plan Area are comprised of a combination of one- and two-story rehabilitated Naval housing and new one to five-story residential buildings, some having ground floor parking and ground floor amenities including service providers and community spaces. With the completion of the phased development, all unimproved parcels have been developed in the Plan Area. CVC is a community in transition as the initial housing stock consisted of the rehabilitated former Naval housing structures which make up half of the community’s buildings while newer development has infilled the other half (Attachment B – PD-31).

Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan (CVCSP)
Over the next ten years, CVC is seeking to redevelop portions of the community that consist of the former naval housing stock, transitioning the outdated structures to modern affordable housing and service facilities along with key site improvements. The

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

redevelopment efforts will be realized through the implementation of the CVCSP, which guide the services, housing, amenities, and programming for the Plan Area. The mix of development accommodated by the CVCSP will provide quality dwelling units for residents in need while hosting modern spaces for current and new social service providers, commercial uses, and community amenities. The CVCSP serves as the master plan for a residential community that includes emergency, bridge/transitional, and permanent housing with support services and amenities. The CVCSP regulates the Plan Area’s allowable land use, circulation, open space, development standards, and provides the basis for the Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design– Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) certification obtained by CVC in 2019 (Attachment C – Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan).

Purpose of the Plan
The CVCSP is part of a collection of planning documents that will guide what services, housing, amenities and programming the Villages will provide effectively in the future. The CVCSP includes principals and goals to guide future development, programming and improvements that will occur in the Plan Area. These objectives will support the CVCSP’s goals to support the current and future needs, challenges and opportunities for the area, guide redevelopment of antiquated building stock and available land, streamline the review and approval process for future phases of development, and provide certainty for government agencies, property owners, and developers.

Based on guiding principles and goals, the following objectives have been established for the proposed project:
• Integrate both new and rehabilitated residential development for the express purpose of providing transitional housing and support services to homeless veterans and the homeless population of the region.
• Allow for the long-term development and enhancement of the Century Villages at Cabrillo community to safeguard residents, meet the evolving needs of the community, and provide necessary support of resident’s mental, physical, and emotional health.
• Enhance the safety, livability, and connectivity of the Century Villages at Cabrillo community.
• Guide redevelopment of an antiquated building stock and available land in order to accommodate increased demand for housing and services, while increasing efficiency.
• Develop enhanced and expanded open space and connectivity throughout the community to serve the needs of residents and employees. • Provide housing and services near the West Long Beach Transit (LBT) Center and with a transit priority area consistent with statewide and regional goals to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
• Enhance the continued fiscal health, viability, and success of the Century Villages at Cabrillo community.

Organization of the Plan
Within the CVCSP document, eight sections provide the basis for the plan and the regulations that will govern future development in the plan area. These chapters include:
1) Introduction; 2) Context; 3) Community Voice; 4) Land Use and Development Standards; 5) Mobility and Streetscape; 6) Design Guidelines; 7) Infrastructure; and 8) Implementation.

Chapter 1 provides policy context for the CVCSP within the framework of the City of Long Beach General Plan. Key components related to the CVCSP include the Land Use and Urban Design Element, Housing, Air Quality and Mobility Elements. Chapter 2 provides context and describes the current conditions of the CVCSP planning areas as well as providing an historic setting for past uses and the evolution to the current state of the Villages at Cabrillo plan area. Chapter 3 discusses the extensive engagement process that included residents, stakeholders and service providers. This outreach effort articulated the consensus community voice related to the CVCSP.

Chapter 4 provides the land use and development standards of the CVSCP. This section provides the general vision and guiding principles for the interrelationship of land-use and open space in the plan area. Chapter 5 describes how the various phases of development are to be integrated through a shared circulation network and unified streetscape. Chapter 6 provides the Design Guidelines to create a harmonious physical environment.

Chapter 7 focuses on the general strategy for planning infrastructure improvements to serve future phases of development, including water, gas and electric service, stormwater management and telecommunications. The final section, Chapter 8, discusses the implementation process and timeline for executing the improvements within the plan, including building phasing and development parcels.

Land Use Districts
The CVCSP is divided into two main land use districts: Village Core and Village General, as shown in Figure 2 below. Village Core, centrally located in the Plan Area, will be developed with more active uses located closer to the existing Transit Center and main entrance while Village General will primarily serve as multi-family residential uses incorporating amenities, services and administrative uses. The Village Core will contain the primary administrative functions, commercial uses, and social spaces. The Village Core will have more intensive functions and denser development while the Village General area will have more passive uses lower scale development.

Urban Strategies
The CVCSP includes four urban design strategies to help facilitate future development of the Plan Area:
• Strengthen Linkages Strategy – focuses on improving connectivity by standardizing streets, connecting walkway and bicycle networks, and extending the transit system. • Expand Hierarchy Strategy – emphasizes strengthening the orientation, reinforcing building frontages, and organizing open spaces to maintain and enhance the sense of community.
• Improve Efficiencies Strategy – focuses on consolidating parking, increasing building height, and developing buildings with multiple functions to sustain growth and change in a built-out environment.
• Productive Landscape Strategy – emphasizes developing a harmonious and healthy mixed environment by relocating sensitive uses, expanding landscapes and gardens,

and developing infrastructure for sustainable water management and energy conservation and production.

Development Regulations
Development standards in the CVCSP provide regulatory guidance for new development projects to ensure that they meet a high standard of design and provide quality environments for residents, employees and visitors, while providing necessary flexibility for the programming and design of public and private investment in the Plan Area. For example, the CVCSP provides guidance as to the types of uses allowed in the Plan Area, balancing the need to ensure harmonious mix of uses, with flexibility to adapt to evolving needs of the community.

Allowable uses generally include a variety of residential programs, social and clinical services, administrative applications, and neighborhood serving uses. Table 4.6A - Permitted Uses of the CVCSP provides a detailed list of permitted and discretionary uses.

As previously discussed, the two land use districts, Village Core and Village General, will be developed with different regulations consistent with the intent and intensity of the land use district. Development intensity for the Plan Area is guided by maximum floor are ratio and building heights, as show in Table 1 – Development Intensity Standards. The building heights correspond to those described in the LEED-ND certification documentation obtained by CVC to create consistent urban edges throughout the Plan Area.

Table 1
Building placement in the Plan Area will be guided by minimum and maximum setbacks requirements for streets, alleys, open space and adjacent property. Setbacks are measured from the back of the sidewalk, which is generally the development parcel boundary. Setbacks of new buildings will be consistent with the existing adjacent structures. Setbacks are not required for ground floor commercial uses and community amenities with the Village Core, but they are required for ground floor residential units with the Plan Area.

Vehicle and Bicycle Parking
Due to the expansive resources and amenities on-site, as well as the residents’ limited access to private vehicles and easy access to quality public transit options, off-street parking for the residential development will mirror those of other Transit Oriented Districts and affordable

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS

housing development. The Plan Area is served by a number of public transit lines, and contains the West LBT Center, or CVC Transit Center. There is currently a bus stop within the CVC campus at the Williams Street and River Avenue intersections. This bus stop serves the terminus of LBT Lines 171, 175, and 176. Additional transit service is available by the Torrance Transit with stops available on Pacific Coast Highway, located south of the Plan Area. Long Beach Transit also has additional Transit Lines (191 and 192) located east of the Plan Area on Santa Fe Avenue. Along with quality public transit and active transportation options, provisions for enhanced transportation management and shared vehicles will be provided to residents and onsite staff.

Automobile parking guidelines are included in the CVCSP. Affordable housing parking is proposed at 0.20 per dwelling for zero- to one-bedroom units and 0.50 for two+ bedroom units.

Non-residential uses will range from one to two spaces per 1,000 SF of programming. These guidelines are advisory rather than requirements. As the demand for parking falls over time with the introduction of new technology and improved transit service or with specific residential populations that may need less parking, actual parking provided on individual projects may vary from the guidelines. Street parking is designed to augment assigned parking within those development, with flexibility to respond evolving demand throughout the day and week. Parking supply provided beyond those required within a proposed development can be credited to meeting parking demands of subsequent developments. Development within the CVCSP is required to provide electric vehicle charging facilities for all new development for at least three percent of the total parking spaces.

Substantial bicycle parking facilities will be necessary to support the needs of Villages at Cabrillo residents, visitors, and staff. The bicycle parking guidelines identify the necessary capacity for secured parking within each new development. Bicycle parking requirements for affordable housing units range from 0.20 for zero- to one-bedroom units and .50 for two+ bedroom units.

Non-residential parking will range from one to two spaces per 1,000 SF. Unlike vehicular parking requirements, the imposition of bicycle parking is mandatory on every new project, however such parking may be offered in common areas of the campus rather than within the individual building or project.

Design Guidelines
Design guidelines are included in the CVCSP to regulate building form and design, frontages and urban edges, open space and landscaping, parking areas, signage and wayfinding, outdoor lighting, and environmental sustainability. The design guidelines are intended to promote quality design, consistent with the overall CVCSP vision, while providing a level of flexibility to encourage creative design. For example, open spaces are to be designed to avoid barriers and allow for accessibility to all residents in the Plan Area and the design of parking, utilities and service functions to be minimized to enhance walkability of the Plan Area. In addition, the LEEDND certification provides detailed guidance for the CVCSP in relation to circulation, density, building placement and transportation management. Over time the implementation of the design standards will reduce on grade parking. The public realm will be enhanced by centralizing parking and wrapping parking garages with ground level programming that creates a vibrant pedestrian environment.

Amenities and Open Space
The CVCSP identifies new and enhanced amenities for current and future residents of the Plan Area. Some of the existing amenities will be realigned to better support the specific populations.

Other new community amenities (such as convenience stores, cafeteria, weight room, faith services, etc.) will be developed to accommodate the growing need, including creating a dedicated senior center.

The Plan Area currently has approximately 0.11 acres (5,000 [SF]) of play area that will be area available to future residents. The play area consists of playground, shade structures, tetherball, and other amenities. Under the open space requirements of the CVCSP, the additional units will require the provision of 3.44 acres (150,000 SF) of new open space - 75,000 SF of outdoor common residential open space; 37,500 SF of indoor common residential space; and 37,500 SF of private residential open space. The open space network is designed to transition from the most public to most private with appropriate levels of activity and access. The exact configuration and location of open spaces will be established as part of each development. The open space standards are shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2
Infrastructure and Utility Systems
The CVCSP includes infrastructure plans and utility systems that are necessary to serve existing development as well as the future development that will be accommodated by the CVCSP, including plans for mobility, drainage, water, wastewater, dry utilities (electricity, natural gas, and telecommunication services).
• Mobility Plan – A variety of mobility options on- and offsite will be provided. Internal streets and walking paths will be reconfigured and redesigned to improve vehicular and nonvehicular (active transportation) mobility throughout the Plan Area. The future mobility network emphasizes biking and walking as the primary mode of transportation within the Plan Area and public transportation beyond.

Automobile movement will become more efficient while transitioning to be secondary to the active transportation network. Existing and future residents will also have access to public transportation provided by Long Beach Transit, which provides direct service with the Plan Area (CVC Transit Center). In addition, the CVCSP includes transportation demand management (TDM) measures to further

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

reduce parking demand and vehicles miles traveled (VMT), such as employee flexible work programs, subsidized transit passes, and carpool/carshare programs. • Vehicle Transportation – Streets will be redesigned to improve pedestrian crossings and calm traffic speeds. Roadways will be designed to reinforce the 15- mile per hour speed limit utilizing traffic calming elements, such as curb extensions, landscaped medians, and enhanced crosswalks. Emergency egress will also be introduced to the north, east or western portions of the Plan Area. This will be in addition to the existing connections that exist at San Gabriel and River Avenues. There will be three street classifications within the Plan Area, Gateway Street – Williams Street serving as the primary entrance to the Plan Area and the Village Core having two travel lanes and on-street parking with wide sidewalk and a mix of tree wells and parkways; Neighborhood Street – San Gabriel Avenue, River Avenue and Willard Street comprise the Neighborhood Street. These streets provide primary vehicle access and have two travel lanes and on-street parking with sidewalks and parkways. Wellness Trail – these trails not only serve as emergency vehicle access routes, but also as transportation connections. They have separated Class I bike paths, walking trails, and jogging paths. • Active Transportation – As discussed above, a network of wellness trails will be established throughout the Plan Area to encourage walking, jogging and biking.

The wellness trails will provide a safe, separated active transportation network with limited vehicle interruptions.
• Public Transportation – The new West LBT Center, or CVC Transit Center, developed as part of the Anchor Place Development (Phase 5), began service in 2018. As part of the CVC Transit Center development, two existing LBT bus routes were rerouted into the Plan Area. In addition, the current transit access provided to CVC residents will be expanded through a vanpool program that connects residents to specific destinations off-site, including grocery stores, medical centers, or community events. This will be accomplished in collaboration with Long Beach Transit, service providers and community retailers. Car share could also be considered as the residential population expands.
• Drainage Plan – The existing drainage system in the Plan Area is private and consists of underground pipes, catch basins, and detention basins that manage the onsite stormwater. Under the CVCSP, aside from new drainage lines that would connect to individual sites, a system of sustainable stormwater management including catch basins, bioswales and retention/detention facilities will be developed to the Plan Area’s unique drainage conditions. • Potable Water Plan – The Long Beach Water Department (LBWD) provides potable water delivery service to the Plan Area. Future water system improvements would be designed and constructed in accordance with LBWD requirements and would require LBWD review and approval.

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

• Wastewater Plan – LBWD operates and maintains the City’s wastewater system and provides conveyance of wastewater privately collected in the Plan Area.

Implementation of the CVCSP would require the construction of new sewer lines that connect to the exiting wastewater system.
• Dry Utilities Plan – All new electrical (Southern California Edison), natural gas (Long Beach Energy Resources Department), and telecommunication services (Frontier Communications) will be located in underground conduits and vaults or place in enclosed utility closets.

Green Building and Sustainability
Green building is the practice of designing, constructing and operating buildings to maximize occupant health and productivity, using fewer resources, reducing waste and negative environmental impacts, and decreasing lifecycle costs. Development projects accommodated by the CVCSP would be designed using applicable green building practices, including the most current Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 6) and California Green Building Stands Code (CALGreen; Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 11). Furthermore, the development standards and design guidelines included in the CVCSP are based on the gold LEED-ND certification documentation obtained by CVC in 2019. LEED is a national certification system developed to encourage the construction of energy and resource-efficient buildings and is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement. The LEED – ND criteria include guidance in the CVCSP for matters related to circulation, density, building placement and transportation management. Past residential projects, such as Anchor Place and Cabrillo Gateway were both certified LEED Platinum for New Homes. As part of the LEED – ND requirements, all future development as part of the CVCSP would be required to be minimum LEED certified which includes additional design and construction considerations related to environmental sustainability. Some examples of such consideration include optimized building energy performance, solar orientation, indoor and outdoor water reduction and infrastructure energy efficiency.

Implementation
The CVCSP will guide the redevelopment of the portions of the campus that currently consist of the former navy housing stock, transitioning the collection of antiquated structures and underutilized areas to modern affordable housing and service facilities along with key site improvements. Specifically, the implementation of the Plan involves the demolition of 235 existing dwelling units, 10,030 SF of amenities, 10,200 SF of educational uses and 7,250 SF of administrative and supportive services, and the removal of 155 parking spaces. New development under the CVCSP will include 750 supportive housing units, 77,000 SF of amenities, 15,000 SF of educational uses, 17,000 SF of commercial and retail uses, 48,000 SF of administrative and supportive services, and 460 parking spaces. Accordingly, buildout of the CVCSP will result in a total of 1,380 supportive housing units, 79,350 SF of amenities, 15,000 SF of educational uses, 22,850 SF of commercial and retail uses, 67,050 SF of administrative and supportive services, and 825 parking spaces. See the Program Tabulations below.

General Plan Consistency
Century Villages at Cabrillo CVCSP conforms to the general goals, policies, and designations of the City’s General Plan Land Use Element (LUE), adopted by the City Council in 2019. The plan area is located within page 8 of the LUE Map. The PlaceType of the Plan Area pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map is Regional Serving Facility (RSF). RSF’s are those facilities, businesses and operations that not only serve the City, but also the region. Publicserving uses, such as the Century Villages at Cabrillo Plan Area, are consistent with the uses allowed by the LUE.

The CVCSP also advances LUE goals, including Sustainable Planning and Development Practices (Goal No. 1), new developments will be more compact to create walkable environments, allow for orderly development and flexibility to grow, fully integrate land and mobility planning and encourage all development to be more environmentally sustainable, promote compact development and higher density development, encourage walkable and bicycle-friendly environments; Accommodate Strategic Growth and Change (Goal No. 3), promote regional-serving uses, create new transit-oriented development, and promote infill and redevelopment to support transit; Diversify Housing Opportunities (Goal No. 5), allow a variety of housing types, encourage housing opportunities, services and amenities for all income levels, age groups and household types, establish clear rules and locations for special housing types, such as congregate care, assisted living, senior housing and housing with supportive services.

Further, the CVCSP conforms to and furthers the goals of the General Plan’s Urban Design Element, by requiring high-quality development, sustainable design, and serious architecture, as well as creating complete streets and a pedestrian- and bike-friendly mobility environment.

The CVCSP also conforms to the General Plan’s Mobility Element through its plan for Infrastructure improvements that are planned, maintained and operated consistent with the

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

principle of complete streets, active living, and sustainable community design. Goal No. 1 of the Mobility Element is to create and efficient, balanced, multimodal mobility network; this includes establishing a network of complete streets, reconfiguring existing streets to emphasize modal priorities, strategically improving circulation, reducing the environmental impacts of the transportation system, and managing the supply of parking, all of which are achieved through the CVCSP’s development standards and guidelines. Furthermore, the vision for the future of the City’s transportation system includes, flexible, convenient, affordable, and energy-efficient transportation options, mobility practices that maintain and enhance safety while strengthening community, sense of place, urban design and the natural environment, and land use planning integrated with a multimodal mobility network, providing people with options to choose various forms of convenient transportation. The CVCSP is consistent with the overall goals of the Mobility Element including the associated addendums comprised of the Green TI Plan for the Terminal Island Freeway, Bicycle Master Plan and CX3 Pedestrian Plan.

The CVCSP conforms to the City’s Housing Element in planning for present and future housing needs, including strategies and programs to improve development regulations and accommodate future growth targets for housing affordable to all household income levels. The CVCSP promotes redevelopment of antiquated structures and underutilized areas for a mix of development, which would provide quality dwelling units for residents in need while hosting modern spaces for current and new social service providers, commercial uses, and community amenities.

The CVCSP conforms to the Housing Element’s goal to provide increased opportunities for the construction of high-quality housing (Goal No. 1), through policies that facilitate the development of affordable housing by streamlining the approval process for projects with substantial levels of affordable housing, encourage residential development along transit corridors, establish and maintain partnerships with nonprofit organizations, affordable housing builders, and for-profit developers, to provide greater access to affordable housing funds; mitigate government constraints to housing investment and affordability (Goal No. 2), through examining existing land use policies and regulations that impact housing construction, standardize review policies to streamline permitting, and provide for timely and coordinated processing of development projects and associated environmental clearances to minimize project-holding costs; provide housing assistance and preserve publicly assisted units (Goal No. 3); address the unique housing needs of special needs residents (Goal No. 4); retain and improve the quality of existing housing and neighborhoods (Goal No. 5) by encouraging placebased strategies for neighborhood planning and improvements that incorporate biking, pedestrian, and public transit connections; and ensure fair and equal housing opportunity (Goal No. 6).

Required Approvals and Recommendation

Staff has made positive findings for the Zone Change as required by the Zoning Regulations (Attachment D – Findings).

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
A total of 933 notices of public hearing were distributed on August 12, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC). Additionally, a 1/8th page notice of public hearing was published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on August 17, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 21.21 of the LBMC. The Draft/Final EIR are on file and available for review on the Development Services Department, Planning Bureau’s website at http://www.longbeach.gov/lbds/planning/environmental/reports/. Copies of the Final EIR are also available during operating hours at the Planning Counter, 3rd floor of City Hall, the Billie Jean King Main Library, 200 West Broadway, Long Beach and the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library, 5870 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach. Staff has no public comments in response to this notice 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, an EIR, (SCH No. 2020010387) (Attachment E – Draft EIR-05-19, and Appendices A through J) was prepared for the proposed project. The City is the Lead Agency under CEQA.

The Notice of Preparation (NOP) was circulated for a 30-day public review period from January 28, 2020 to February 26, 2020. A public scoping meeting for the EIR was held on February 5, 2020, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Century Villages at Cabrillo, Social Hall, 2001 River Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90810. Six comment letters were received during the NOP public review period, and seven written scoping meeting comments were received during the scoping meeting. These comments expressed concern about a variety of potential impacts, including air quality, land use, and traffic. During this NOP comment period, the City received written

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

comments from the State Clearinghouse, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – District 7. The purpose of this comment period was to allow the public and responsible agencies the opportunity to provide suggestions on the scope of analysis and environmental issues to be addressed in the EIR.

The Notice of Availability (NOA) and Draft EIR were made available for public comment during a 45-day public review and comment period that started on June 18, 2021 and ended on August 2, 2021. During this Draft EIR comment period, the City received four written comments from City of Long Beach Energy Resources Department, LACSD, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and Caltrans – District 7. Issues raised in these comment letters addressed minor corrections to update references to the “City of Long Beach Energy Resources Department” and clarification of analysis included in the Draft EIR (City of Long Beach Energy Resources Department), average daily wastewater generation, treatment quantities and updated reference to the water reclamation plant as the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (LACSD), potential impacts on Monarch Butterflies, nesting birds and bats (California Department of Fish and Wildlife), and potential traffic impacts to the regional transportation system (Caltrans). All issues raised in the Draft Program EIR comment letters have been adequately addressed in the Final EIR (Attachment F – Final EIR-05-19), which determined that no new significant environmental impacts or issues were raised in the comment letters that would require a recirculation of the Draft EIR.

The EIR MMRP, which is included with the Final EIR, is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project buildout. While mitigation measures have been proposed to reduce the level of environmental impacts, the Final EIR identified certain impacts that would remain significant, unavoidable, and adverse even after all feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. These environmental impacts involve conflict with short-term construction related air quality, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and construction related noise. Due to these significant unavoidable adverse impacts, certification of this Program EIR requires approval of a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) that determines the project’s economic, legal, social, and/or technological benefits would outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, and the adverse impacts may be considered acceptable.

The EIR evaluated two Alternatives to the proposed project to determine if the alternatives could feasibly meet most of the project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening significant project impacts. The Alternatives considered were the No Project Alternative and Reduced Project Alternative. Based on the analysis provided in the Draft EIR, the No Project Alternative was determined not to meet project objectives. The Reduced Project Alternative (reduce the development intensity by 10 percent) would reduce but not eliminate significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality and noise compared to the proposed CVCSP.

The CVCSP’s significant and unavoidable GHG impact would be eliminated under this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, population and housing, public series, recreation, transportation, and utilities and service systems would

CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
September 1, 2022

remain the same as or slightly reduced compared to the CVCSP. The reduced intensity alternative would meet the CVCSP’s objectives, but not fully implement the potential of the CVCSP and leaving out much needed opportunities for additional housing and services for both the Century Villages at Cabrillo community and the unhoused population of the Long Beach metropolitan area. For the reasons stated above and the Statement of Overriding Considerations (Attachment G – CEQA Findings of Fact Regarding the Final Environmental Impact Report EIR-05-19), the City has considered the information contained in the record of administrative proceedings on the Proposed Project, and has weighed the above-outlined benefits of the Proposed Project against the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified in the Final EIR.

The preparation and public availability of this EIR has been carried out in compliance with the provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, and staff therefore recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council certify the EIR-05-19 and find that no further environmental analysis is required under CEQA.

Under Assembly Bill 2162 (AB 2162), the CVCSP would qualify for ministerial approval. AB 2162 establishes Government Code Section 65650 et seq., which requires that local agencies allow supportive housing as a use by right in zones, including nonresidential zones, where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted if the proposed housing development meets the criteria of AB 2162. This project meets the criteria; therefore, the City has a ministerial duty, and thus CVSP would not be subject to CEQA. However, in an effort to be thorough an EIR has been prepared.

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
CENTER/VILLAGES AT CABRILLO LONG BEACH VETS (PD-31)
City of Long Beach 1 Last Amended: March 23, 2004
Ordinance History: C-7677, 2000, C-7904, 2004
I. PURPOSE AND INTENT

1. This Planned Development District is intended to establish guidelines for 1) the use and development of a 30 acre parcel of land for the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) Research and Technology Center (sometimes referred to as the "center"), and 2) a 26 acre parcel of land for the Villages at Cabrillo. It is the intent of these provisions to permit the location of businesses and industries engaged primarily in research and light manufacturing, professional and administrative offices, service industries and laboratories and University related student, faculty, and social service uses. This unique mix of uses necessitates the adoption of a planned development district.

2. These uses will be developed in a university research and training center setting, and will provide opportunities for established as well as new companies to work together with CSULB to mutually expand technology while also providing needed jobs while expanding research capabilities for the public and private sector.

3. The twenty-six acre "Villages at Cabrillo" (subarea D) is conceived as an adaptive re-use housing development whose purpose is to integrate both new and rehabilitated residential development for the express purpose of providing transitional housing and support services to homeless veterans and the homeless population of the Long Beach metropolitan area.

4. The "Villages at Cabrillo" project is designed to provide transitional residential accommodations, and an array of service programs as a means to foster independence and self-sufficiency of residents. Such services may include, but are not limited to, housing, education, counseling, health care, job training, work therapy and recreation. For example, as approved by the Long Beach City Council, Long Beach City College can occupy up to five acres of the site and offer a variety of classes in vocational skills and job training tailored to and focused toward the residents of the Villages at Cabrillo, as well as the Long Beach Community.

5. The Development Standards contained in this Planned Development Plan are designed to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses and to assure high standards of architectural design.

II. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS
Prior to issuance of a building permit for any new development, a Master Site Plan shall be submitted for Planning Commission approval. Such Master Site Plan shall identify the location of vehicular and pedestrian circulation, common area landscaping, major access points, and major parcels for the entire planned development area. In addition, building areas, uses, and architectural character will be included for the first phase in the Planned Development District.

The Master Site Plan may be revised or amended by filing a request for revision or amendment with the Director of Planning and Building. The Director of Planning and Building may approve, or conditionally approve minor revisions or amendments to the Master Site Plan. Major revisions to the adopted Master Plan must be reviewed and approved by the City Planning Commission.

Each new building of one thousand square feet or more shall be reviewed by the Site Plan Review Committee. The Site Plan Review Committee shall review each new building for consistency with the Planned Development Plan requirements and the Master Site Plan. Such review shall analyze functionality of building layout, consistency with detailed zoning standards and architectural as well as landscape quality. The reuse of existing structures will not require any design review but may require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

In the submission of individual buildings for Site Plan Review, it is recognized that the building sizes may be changed, building locations redistributed or the mix of uses adjusted to meet changing user demands. However, the overall design character of the site shall be in substantial conformance to the approved Master Site Plan and shall not be changed except by the procedure described in this Planned Development Ordinance. Substantial conformance shall be determined by Site Plan Review.

ANCHOR
The anchor, because of the great importance in navigation, was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of safety. A ship’s anchor gives it stability in the midst of a storm and gives hope to those who are being protected by it. In this way, our Anchor represents the safety provided by the Century Villages at Cabrillo to those who come to our shores and gives hope that they can be steady until the storms will pass and calm seas will return. At that time, the Anchor can be raised and those who have rested and grown stronger
can again sail away to fulfill their potential or intentions.

Very much like the individuals or families who come to the Villages to recover from homelessness.

In 2001, a massive anchor from an unknown ship at the Port of Long Beach salvage yard was dropped onto the lawn
of Century Villages at Cabrillo. Over the ensuing years, the anchor sat vigil as Century Villages blossomed, tying us to our roots as naval housing during the ship-building boom of an earlier era. Some believed that the anchor was watching over the people of Century Villages, providing safe harbor to those in need. Century Villages at Cabrillo, with the help of a City of Long Beach grant, commissioned local artist Trace Fukuhara to create a public monument with the anchor as its centerpiece. The sculpture reflects Century Villages’ deep connection to this treasured symbol of safe harbor and a brighter tomorrow.

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan [CVCSP] area,
encompasses the entirety of the Villages at Cabrillo, a residential community established to break the cycle of homelessness. The CVCSP plan area makes up the former
Subarea D of Planned Development 31 Area. With the
completion of the Anchor Place residential development
at the end of 2017, the entirety of the community had been developed. Over the next twenty years, CVC is seeking to redevelop portions of the community that consist of the former navy housing stock, transitioning the collection of antiquated structures to modern affordable housing
and service facilities.

B A C K G R O U N D

AND CONTEXT

D E V E L O P M E N T

R A T I O N A L E
In 2016, CVC embarked on an intensive planning effort
to engage residents, stakeholders and service providers within their community to develop a comprehensive
vision for the future of their community. This Community Plan has subsequently been documented for LEED – ND
certification [Leadership in Environmental and Energy
Design – Neighborhood Development], to ensure the plan’s ability to preserve and restore the environment. The CVCSP codifies the elements of the Community Plan and LEED
– ND certification, incorporating it into the City of Long Beach General Plan.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Villages at Cabrillo was established in 1997 when the US Department of Defense
transferred the land to CVC under the McKinney Act for the purpose of providing transitional and permanent housing to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.

Over the past two decades the CVC has become a nationwide public-private partnership model to benefit those in need.

There remains an intense need for affordable housing and intensive homeless assistance in the Los Angeles region, CVC intends to continue responding to this need.

CVC’s mission is to develop, manage, and serve as steward of this 27 acre supportive housing community. CVC embraces a vision whereby the cycle of homelessness is broken by offering residents a service-enriched, supportive environment designed to encourage self-sufficiency and promote
achievement of the highest human potential. CVC seeks to provide residents a nurturing, healing environment along with the tools necessary to change behaviors and overcome barriers. CVC pursues this vision through collaborating with other like-minded organizations and partners.

The CVCSP maps out the future redevelopment of a portion of the 27 acre community currently occupied by single-story former navy housing that was rehabilitated when the Villages at Cabrillo originally opened. The new mixed-use development will provide quality dwelling units for residents in need, while hosting modern spaces for current and new social service providers, commercial uses, community amenities.

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan is part of collection of planning documents that will guide what services, housing, amenities and programming the Villages will provide in the future and how it is done most effectively. The Community Plan is the blueprint for the residents and clients we
serve and stakeholder to whom we are accountable. The
aforementioned Community Plan provided the basis for
the LEED – Neighborhood Development certification as
well as the establishment of CVCSP, which determines
the area’s allowable land-use, circulation, open space and development standards.

Entitlements for the Villages at Cabrillo were previous codified within the Planned Development District 31
– Subarea D. This plan included general development
standards as well as the allowable uses. The previously approved Master Plan which dictated the development todate, has largely been implemented except for a community gymnasium which is retained in the updated plan. The
CVCSP will codify the development pattern of the recently updated Community Plan. Below are the goals for the
updated Community Plan:

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The City of Long Beach General Pan provides a strategic vision for the future of development and change in the
City. The Long Beach General Plan consists of comprehensive collection of elements focusing on various topics related to how the city adapts to change. Key features related to the CVCSP include the recently adopted Landuse and Urban Design Elements, as well as the Housing, Air Quality and Mobility Elements.

California state law requires that the CVCSP be written to be consistent with the Long Beach General Pan. The
Land-use and Urban Design Elements of the General
Plan identifies the CVCSP as an area to develop affordable and permanent supportive housing. The Housing Element of the Long Beach General Plan consistently
identifies the CVCSP as an area to invest resources to
expand affordable housing.

The Mobility Element of the General Plan, and associated addendums – including the Green TI Plan, Bicycle Master Plan and CX3 Pedestrian Plan also emphasize strengthening connections to, and reducing freight transportation impacts on the CVCSP area. No amendments to the Long Beach General Plan will be necessary, other than
to identify the CVCSP area within the Land-use Element
and associated Zoning Plan update.

Communities of Excellence in Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Prevention (CX3) is administered through
Long Beach Health and Human Services to conduct
neighborhood assessments designed to provide data and
set priorities to improve the food and physical activity landscape for low-income neighborhoods. The CX3
Pedestrian Improvement Master Plan provides the tools
for improving walkability in West and Central Long Beach neighborhoods, promoting walking as physical activity
and enhancing pedestrian access to healthy choices
for food and recreation. The intention of the plan is to (1)-assess existing conditions of the CX3 areas and identify paths for improving the pedestrian environment and
(2)-lay out a framework of tools, project types, policies and programs for improving the CX3 neighborhoods.

CX3
Pedestrian Plan
Committing to develop and implement a Community
Livability Plan for the I-710 corridor neighborhoods in the City of Long Beach is a natural outgrowth of a single crucial realization: neighborhoods within the I-710 corridor bear a disproportionate share of the negative impacts resulting from the operation of the I-710 Freeway and the Ports.

Further, they receive few of the benefits derived from
the $3 billion in goods that arrive through the two Ports and are transported through their neighborhoods. This
Plan seeks to bring a better balance between residents’ exposure to environmental and health hazards, and the
benefits and investments they want and need in order
to maintain a healthy environment in which to live, learn, work and play.

Westside
Livability Plan
LEED-ND is a voluntary leadership standard, and local
governments should consider promoting its use by the
development community or public-private partnerships.

In addition, LEED-ND can be used to analyze whether
existing development regulations, such as zoning codes, development standards, landscape requirements, building codes, or comprehensive plans are “friendly” to sustainable developments. Elements of the LEED-ND requirements are
included within the CVCSP where appropriate, including
circulation, development standards and design guidelines.

The Green TI project looks at the first/last mile of the Terminal Island Freeway, and includes the community
vision, preliminary feasibility study and design concept aimed at transforming the segment of State Route 103

serve as a road-map for the project as it moves forward.

Additionally, this document serves as a compilation of
findings from community and port-related engagement
events that were held to identify alternative and preferred design concepts for the reuse of the TI Freeway

I N T H E
MAKING
The Native Americans known as the Tongva had at least three villages—named Tevaaxa’anga, ‘Ahwaanga and Povuu’nga—within the present boundaries of Long Beach. It seems the idea of a Village, or “Ke ke” in the Tongva language, has been a work in progress for centuries around the place we now call the Villages at Cabrillo.

THE IDEA OF A VILLAGE

HAS BEEN A WORK IN

PROGRESS FOR CENTURIES

AROUND THE PLACE WE

NOW CALL THE VILLAGES

AT CABRILLO
The Century Villages at Cabrillo is located on the
western edge of the City of Long Beach as the
municipal borders of Los Angeles converge.

The community is situated within the transition between industry and residential communities. The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles lay to the south, with industrial areas to the immediate south and refineries and goods
movement support facilities to the west and schools and homes to the north and east.

The community is immediately surrounded by large
institutions and major infrastructure, effectively isolating residents from the larger community. Long Beach Jobs
Corp and Cabrillo High School are large institutions
abutting the north and east edges of CVC while California State University, Long Beach’s Tech Community is to the south. To the west, there are layers of infrastructure
that serve the port complex, including the Terminal
Island Freeway, San Pedro Branch railroad and Southern
California Edison’s electricity transmission corridor.

THE

LOCATION

2.1 2.2
These large, continuous facilities create an impermeable border around CVC that extend any trip as much as threefold. For example, outside of select times when school administration open a pedestrian gate between the two
communities, students attending Cabrillo High School
must walk a mile of some of Long Beach’s least pedestrian friendly streets to get to school. There are currently no dedicated bicycle facilities in West Long Beach, with the Los Angeles River trail being the nearest at a mile away.

Considering these limitations, there are fairly good transit connections to CVC from the larger region with two Long Beach Transit bus routes stopping within the community, two Torrance bus routes – including a rapid service – on Pacific Coast Highway and three more Long Beach Transit routes on Santa Fe Avenue and Easy Avenue. In 2018,
the LBT lines were extended into the CVC community,
providing residents greater access and comfort to transit. 22 CONTEXT

cycle of homelessness is broken by offering residents a service-enriched, supportive environment designed to
encourage self-sufficiency and promote achievement
of the highest human potential. CVC seeks to provide
residents a nurturing, healing environment along with
the tools necessary to change behaviors and overcome
barriers. Ultimately, CVC seeks to empower residents to build dreams and reintegrate into mainstream society.

As an organization, CVC serves as steward, fiscal agent, manager, moderator, facilitator, and coordinator for
the Villages at Cabrillo community. CVC creates the
physical and regulatory conditions where collaborating
programs can succeed in overcoming homelessness. As a
social enterprise, CVC engages in property management,
real estate development, and community development
activities, all uniformly geared around the vision of
breaking the cycle of homelessness.

CVC was founded as a collaborative effort of many
players who shared a common vision of addressing the
problem of homelessness in unprecedented fashion.

This spirit of collaboration persists today across CVC and its many partners, including private investors, public
agencies, government authorities, and private nonprofit organizations.

Since being established, CVC has developed into a
unique supportive housing community that provides
housing on any given night to over 1,500 persons.

These include veteran and non-veteran individuals,
families, youth and children who are housed within
CVC’s robust continuum of supportive housing, ranging
from shelter, to transitional housing, to permanent
housing. More than simply providing shelter, CVC has
co-located a palette of valuable social services to help residents regain their independence.

To this end, CVC has partnered with more than thirty
established service providers to provide these much
needed services which include: case management, life
skills training, substance abuse treatment, affordable
child care, a homeless education program, an employment center, a career center, a food service program, and a VA medical clinic among others.

CVC’s mission is to develop, manage, and serve as the
steward of the Villages at Cabrillo. CVC delivers property management, real estate development and supportive
services which aim to empower residents, restore health and inspire hope. CVC embraces a vision whereby the

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
By the end of 2017, the entirety of the Villages (approximately 27 acres) has been redeveloped with new residential uses or rehabilitation of existing structures.

Over the initial five phases of construction former
Naval housing and facilities were either rehabilitated
of removed for new construction. Future development
will focus on redevelopment opportunities.

As the Villages at Cabrillo has been developed and
redeveloped over the past seventy years the community
has evolved from clusters and rows of single-story
buildings with parking lots to include multi-story
residential buildings built over enclosed garages that
are lined with ground floor functions including service providers and community spaces.

The southern portion of CVC has a relatively clear
organizational structure with a hierarchy of outdoor
spaces, circulation paths and activity centers. North
of Williams Street, the community is more organic
with meandering and circuitous walking paths, open
spaces that blend with parking courts and pockets of
activity. The newer residential development is more
intensive with three to four levels of residential units formed around deliberate open space. The rehabilitated

CURRENT

CONDITIONS

2.4 portions of the CVC housing stock are less dense, evenly spreading housing, open space and parking across that
portion of the community.

The Villages at Cabrillo is a community in transition as the initial housing stock consisted of the rehabilitated structures from the Naval housing make up half of
the community while newer development has infilled
the other half. Due to the CVC’s mature tree canopy,
especially north of Williams Street, the differences in building heights, placement and organization is often
lost to most observers. The rehabilitated former Naval
structures are low, one and two-story buildings while
the Family Commons and Casa de Cabrillo are three and
four stories tall.

South of Williams, the variations in height become more apparent as the wider open spaces and newer trees
around the more recent developments present more
dramatic perspectives to witness the taller building
heights. There are one and two story buildings made up
of former Naval housing and buildings along with four
and five story buildings of Cabrillo Gateway and Anchor Place. These two most recent additions to the Villages
also have taller ground floors to provide the additional height necessary for commercial spaces, community
functions, administrative uses and services providers.

CONTEXT 27
The Social Hall is redeveloped into
a vibrant social place for informal
gathering as well as flexible space for
the expansive programs on offer, doing
justice to both its Naval history and
current needs of residents .

SECTION THREE

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
As the Villages at Cabrillo is nearly a city in its own right, there are a diverse array of interests to engage and consider to determine the collective vision for the community’s future. Residents, service providers, operations staff, administration, design consultants and the CVC Board of Directors were all part of this conversation, often engaging multiple times during the planning process. Some opportunities were open conversations
while others were more structured through surveys and
interviews. The conversations initially focused on what stakeholders felt is the current state of the CVC while also alluding to potential opportunities and challenges in the future. As themes within the community voice began to emerge the discussion began to focus on specific needs and questions became more targeted on solutions.

Ultimately in the end, stakeholders were tasked with refining the vision and prioritizing how the Villages grows.

3.2.1. INITIAL CONVERSATION
Through a resident town hall meeting conducted on August 27, 2015 and multiple meetings with service providers, administrators and residents, a series of consistent questions were asked to guide conversations. These questions were often phrased differently based on the
audience and the forum where these discussions took
place but they followed a consistent framework of shelter, community and connectivity. While the essential question of who lives at the CVC had to be asked so were questions related how social connections are fostered
and how do is the physical, mental and emotional health of these residents supported. These were some of the
most frequent feedback:

PROCESS
The update of the CVC Community Plan utilized the
previous iteration of the plan as a starting point while incorporating current development taking place on
the community. Then the foundational documents
were used to provide guidance for the building envelopes, community circulation and orientation. From there, an extensive outreach process spanning three
years was launched that included engaging residents,
services providers and administrators through over a
dozen meetings, workshops and community events.

Multiple surveys were also distributed to gauge resident opinion on general and specific subject matters related to the Community Plan update. Participants

From the over year-long dialogue with residents,
service providers and Century Villages at Cabrillo
staff and leadership, a series of essential questions
emerged to help formulate the future vision of CVC.

The questions were developed to provide a framework for what is to be included in the Community Plan. They were asked internally of the design team
CVC leadership to develop design strategies that
shape the future vision of the CVC.
38 CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
As part of the consistent dialogue with the Century
Villages at Cabrillo there are annual surveys to gauge
resident perspective as the community evolves with new
residents, amenities and service providers. Over twohundred and fifty surveys were completed by residents in 2014 related to transportation. 64% of respondents
are participating in agency-sponsored campus programs
(including VIP, American Indian Changing Spirits, etc.); 36% reside in permanent housing (including Plaza, Family Commons, etc.). In 2015, over one-hundred and sixty
surveys were completed by residents related to campus
and community life. 83% of respondents were overall
happy living at CVC.

Below are some particular takeaways related to connectivity from the 2014 survey:

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
When completed the community will be largely selfsufficient yet better integrated with the surrounding neighborhoods and schools. Most residents’ essential
needs can then be met within the Villages or with relative ease in Long Beach. New mixed-use development will
be built as existing single-use structures reach the end of their respective lifespan. As the property is already completely built-out the primary opportunities for new
development will take place where the converted navy
housing stock is located. It will be important that the design and construction process responds to the needs
of the current residents, avoiding unnecessary impacts
and nuisances.

PROJECT
VISION
creation of 455 new parking stalls, that will result in 825 total parking stalls. The existing and proposed buildings range in height between 15’ and 70’ and will be arranged around a series of outdoor spaces and community amenities.

The master plan includes a central transit center, as well as dedicated bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

TABLE 4.1A
Program Tabulations
Each new development will have residential units on the upper levels and ground floors occupied by consolidated bike and automobile parking, along with flexible spaces that can host service providers, administrative functions and community amenities. The new residential development
will replace aging dwelling units while expanding
affordable housing options for veterans, non-veterans,
families and individuals. The emerging need for dedicated senior housing for existing residents to age in place is to also be addressed as part of future development.

Along with the new housing stock there will be improved circulation, community amenities and facilities for service providers. The combination of the existing street grid, active transportation network and open spaces will create a block structure efficient development parcels. Building heights and forms along with programming create positive edges while maximizing solar access for the pedestrian
realm and open spaces.

The existing network of outdoor spaces and community
amenities will be reoriented and expanded to better
serve residents. Facilities and spaces serving sensitive populations will be shifted to the east while new social spaces will be expanded and better activated. The transition between public spaces and private spaces will be deliberate through design, programming and access.

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
Residents will become better connected to each other and the larger community as transit options are improved and an active mobility network is established. The Villages at Cabrillo transportation network will improve automobile access while creating a better balance with biking and

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The CVCSP establishes a mix of residential typologies
and supporting uses to create a compact, walkable
neighborhood. The neighborhood centers a village
core where the primary administrative functions,
commercial uses, social spaces, and transit center.

The village core will have more intensive functions
and denser development while the uses will be more
passive and development lower in scale toward the
outer edges of the community. The development will
be connected through a regular block structure, with a
variety of open spaces interspersed among them.

The new development will continue to serve current
residents of the Villages at Cabrillo while upgrading and expanding the housing stock. The basis of all development will be to provide housing, services and amenities for
current and future residents of the Villages at Cabrillo.

The majority of development within the CVCSP will
be residential, with ground floor spaces programmed
with amenities, services, administrative functions and
neighborhood serving commercial uses.

Dedicated veterans housing will be continue to be a core offering with the Villages at Cabrillo. Concerns commonly expressed by residents were the type and condition of
Long Beach Savannah Housing, so the initial phases in the CVCSP will focus on replacing these dwelling units and
upgrading the associated services and amenities.

The CVCSP includes expanding available affordable housing for large families and special needs populations. New
buildings will have similar unit mixes to Cabrillo Gateway and Anchor Place including housing for veterans and nonveterans. This will ensure that the populations most in need of permanent housing have more opportunities
in the Villages at Cabrillo. There will also be a housing development specifically for senior residents. This will begin to address a growing need for dedicated senior
housing and services as many of the veterans seek to

LAND USE
PLAN
age in place. Additional considerations for mobility and support shall be included with this new development as
well as services and amenities specifically oriented to senior residents.

As the availability of affordable housing will expand in number of units and types of populations served, the
accompanying community amenities and services will
increase as well. Existing service providers like US VETS and Changing Spirits will be incorporated within relevant future residential developments, while new facilities will be provided for partners not yet operating within the
Villages at Cabrillo.

The Community Plan also begins to identify new and
enhanced amenities for current and future residents of
the Villages at Cabrillo. Some of the existing amenities will be realigned to better support the specific populations, like relocating the Preschool and Oasis Center around the Play Garden in the southeast corner of the community
as part of the South Williams Buildings. Other new
community amenities will be developed for growing need, including converting the Oasis Center [after relocation] into a dedicated Senior Center, which would anchor the
Veterans Garden between the North Williams [Savannah
Replacement] and Casa de Cabrillo.

The KaBoom! playground is to be relocated to the existing basketball courts adjacent to the Community Center as
part of the initial development of the North San Gabriel development. The Gymnasium developed as part of the
Willard Buildings will anchor the Sports Plaza, which
consolidates existing courts while providing more options for organized sports. Ideally, these improvements would coincide with the potential future replacement of the
Terminal Island Freeway with a local road and greenbelt as envisioned in the Green TI Plan, as this could significantly reduce local pollutants for the western portion of the
Villages at Cabrillo, including the Sports Plaza.

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The development standards within the CVCSP provide
regulatory guidance for new projects, to ensure that
they meet a high standard of design and provide
quality environments for residents, workers and
visitors, while providing necessary flexibility for
the programming and design of public and private
investment within the Villages of Cabrillo. The
CVCSP development standards shall be followed
unless State regulations provided greater flexibility
or more discrete direction, except as specified
for certain ordinances and law identified herein.

For purposes of the CVCSP, the communit y is
separated into two districts: Village Core, and Village Neighborhood. The Village Core is primarily focused
within the center of community, along Williams Street
between the western site boundary and River Avenue.

This district will have more active uses, adjacent to
the transit plaza and main entrance. Building heights,
placement and massing are to reinforce the desired
level of activity within the center of community.

The Village General district is an urban neighborhood
that similar to the Village Core, multi-family residential is the primary use, with amenities, services, and
administrative functions as accessories. The height
and placement of the buildings provide greater
opportunity for landscape areas and tree canopy.

allowed within the study area, balancing the need to
ensure a harmonious mix of uses, with flexibility to
adapt to the evolving needs within the community.

Allowable uses generally include a variety of residential programs, social and clinical services, administrative
applications, and neighborhood serving commercial
uses. The uses described in Table 4.6A are to be allowed by-right unless not stated, or otherwise not included.

4.6.2 DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY
Development intensity for the CVCSP is guided by Maximum Floor Area Ratio [FAR] and Maximum Building Heights, as described in Table 4.7B – Development Intensity Standards.

Please see sections LBMC 21.15.1070 and 21.15.1090 of the Long Beach Municipal Code for description of Floor Area Ratio. The Maximum Building Heights are based on current construction standards for mid-rise buildings.

Minimum Dwelling Unit sizes are based on standards
set by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, a major partner in development of affordable housing. The relatively small sizes necessitate high-quality designs with sufficient amenities to be livable, desirable dwelling units.

The CVCSP is split into two zone types: Village Core – which generally consist of development along Williams Street:

Village General – which is made up of the remaining portion of the Villages at Cabrillo community. This allows for more intense development immediately adjacent to the CVC
transit center, as well as administrative and commercial functions. The differences are largely reflected in the allowable building heights and maximum floor area ratios.

The building heights correspond to those described in the LEED – Neighborhood Development standards, to create
consistent urban edges throughout the CVCSP area. The
Design Guidelines chapter provides greater direction as how to apply the building heights to reinforce the urban edge, while maximizing solar access within the building and surrounding open spaces.

4.6.3 BUILDING PLACEMENT
Building setback combined with the building height and
massing, are used to articulate the strong urban edges along streets and around outdoor spaces. Building placement are defined at building minimum and maximum setbacks in Table

4.7C – Building Placement. Strong urban edges reinforce walkable neighborhoods by providing opportunities for
programming within buildings to engage the public realm, be it the adjacent sidewalk, courtyard or other open spaces.

In general, setbacks of any new buildings in subarea D
shall be consistent with the setbacks of existing adjacent structures so as to maintain visual coherence. The setbacks of new buildings shall be approved through the Site Plan Review process. Setbacks within the CVCSP are measured
from the back of sidewalk, which is generally the boundary of the development parcels. Setbacks for ground floor
commercial uses and community amenities within the
Village Core are not required though setbacks are required for ground floor residential units throughout the CVCSP area and among development in the Village General area.

As the built area of the community will be used more
efficiently as will the outdoor open spaces. Deliberately designed public spaces are to be linked through the Wellness Trail network and will clearly defined
by the urban edges and programming of current and
future development. These spaces will be designed
to support residents while continuing to build social
connections within the community.

The open space network is designed to transition from
the most public to most private with appropriate levels of activity and access. The two most recent phases of
development – Cabrillo Gateway and Anchor Place set a
precedent of using the development to define the most
public open space, with ground level courtyards that
transition to terraces above that are primarily meant for the residents of the respective buildings.

Clearly defining these open spaces provides a rich variety of user experiences while providing levels of insulation based on the resident’s respective comfort among others.

New developments will continue this model while
existing residential clusters shall be adapted to follow the methodology. Casa de Cabrillo’s open courtyard will expanded and more clearly defined as part of the North
Williams Building A development while Family Commons
will be consolidated around a series of more intimate
courtyards.

The diversity of open spaces and amenities will transition and expand to respond to resident desires and evolving
user trends. The system of open spaces and amenities
will also shift to relate to local resident populations and

Amenities, services and outdoor spaces serving the most vulnerable residents of the Villages at Cabrillo will be shifted to the east with the Preschool, Play Garden and Oasis Center relocated near Anchor Place and KaBoom!
playground shifted closer to Family Commons. A new
Veterans Garden would be developed near Casa de Cabrillo as the Oasis Center is transformed into a Senior Center.

The enclosed Gymnasium and expanded Urban Forest will
remain along the western edge of the community. Ideally, the Terminal Island Freeway could be removed in the
future before a new Sports Plaza is developed in the later phases of the Community Plan.

The exact configuration and location of open spaces will be established as part of each development. Open spaces displayed in Exhibit 4-7 are to demonstrate intended
distribution and relationships.

The open space standards mapped out within the CVCSP
is to provide each development the ability to fulfill their unique role within the larger open space plan, while
ensuring they provide amenities for their specific residents.

These open space development standards also are intended to best serve the unique needs of the residents within
the Villages at Cabrillo. The required open standards are provided in Table 4.8 – Open Space Standards.

Each development may provide unique on-site open
space and amenities accessible to the entire community, encouraging interaction among residents. Open Space
supply provided beyond those required within a proposed development can be credited to meeting open space
demands of subsequent developments. Required buildto lines and street setback areas cannot be used to satisfy required open space areas, unless designed as part of a larger open space. Private residential open space can be replaced by additional common outdoor space of equal size.

Automobiles will largely disappear visually from the
public realm as open parking lots will be replaced by
enclosed parking garages, each lined with ground
level programming that create a vibrant pedestrian
environment. Secure automobile and bicycle parking
will be provided centrally as part of new development
phases for residents of the latest project as well as for residents of adjacent buildings.

Residents will be able to park in secure parking garages, while visitors and employees will largely park on-street.

Due to the expansive resources and amenities on-site, as well as the residents’ limited access to private vehicles and easy access to quality public transit options, off-street parking for the residential development will mirror those of other Transit Oriented Districts and affordable housing development. Along with quality public transit and
active transportation options, provisions for enhanced
transportation management and shared vehicles will be
provided to residents and on-site staff.

Please see Table 4.9A for providing secure parking within new development. These guidelines are advisory rather
than requirements. As the demand for parking falls
over time with the introduction of new technology and
improved transit service or with specific residential
populations that may need less parking, actual parking
provided on individual projects may vary from the
guidelines. Street parking is designed to augment assigned parking within those development, with flexibility to
respond evolving demand throughout the day and week.

In the calculation of parking requirements, fractional
numbers of parking spaces shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole number. Tandem or lift parking is only
allowed if more than one parking stall is provided
per dwelling unit. Up to 50% of the provided parking
is allowed to be compact size, as defined in Chapter

CIRCULATION

5.1 Movement throughout the Villages at Cabrillo will change as the existing street network will become secondary
to an active Wellness Trail network that provides a finer grain block structure.

As all trips within the Villages at Cabrillo are within a quarter mile of any corner of the property walking and biking is the most viable mode of transportation. Establishing a network of Wellness Trails for walking, jogging and biking can connect residents to every neighbor, amenity and service. The current street network will serve as the local potion for regional transportation, with access for buses serving the transit center, and automobiles being parked in structures.

Connections to the Villages at Cabrillo be enhanced through the short, medium and long term. The entrance at San
Gabriel Avenue will remain as the primary access to the community, with the south River Avenue terminus being a secondary/emergency egress point. As part of a potential transformation of the City of Long Beach owned portion of the Terminal Island Freeway as proposed in the Green TI Plan a new primary entrance could then be created by extending Williams Street west to the replacement local street.

Before this potential change to local city transportation infrastructure, CVC will work with neighboring property owners and the City of Long Beach to introduce emergency egress to the north, east or west of the community.

The exact alignment of the circulation network will be
established as part of each development. Facilities displayed in Exhibit 5-1 are to demonstrate intended connections and distribution.

Street Classification
Gateway Street
Gateway Streets serve as the primary entrance to the Villages at Cabrillo, through the Village Core and supports the most active uses. Williams Street is the only Gateway Street within the CVCSP area. The Gateway Street has two travel lanes and on-street parking, with wide sidewalks and a mix of tree wells and parkways.

Neighborhood Street
Neighborhood Street provide primary vehicle access throughout the majority of the Villages at Cabrillo. San Gabriel Avenue, River Avenue and Willard Street are Neighborhood Streets. Neighborhood Streets have two travel lanes and on-street parking, with sidewalks and parkways.

Wellness Trail
Wellness Trails serve as active transportation connections and emergency access throughout the Villages at Cabrillo. The Wellness Trails are identified by the five branches of the military: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy. They have separated Class I – bike paths, walking trails and jogging paths with flanking parkways. The surface of the trail can vary based on the mode of transportation as long as it meets ADA accessibility requirements and emergency vehicle access.

The rebuilt streets and new wellness trail network will form a system of green infrastructure throughout the Villages at Cabrillo for everything from sustainable storm water management to renewable energy production. The basis
for the Villages’ future transportation network emphasizes biking and walking as the primary modes of transportation within and public transit beyond. New dedicated bicycle facilities, wider walkways and separate jogging trails will improve safety and accessibility while not negatively
impacting other modes of transportation
Automobile movement in the Villages at Cabrillo will become more efficient while transitioning to be secondary to the active transportation network. Along with the Wellness Trail network the streets will be redesigned to ease pedestrian crossings and calm traffic speeds. Streets will be designed to reinforce the 15 mile per hour speed limit with traffic calming elements like curb extensions, landscaped medians and enhanced crosswalks.

Williams Street could become the Gateway Street onto the campus where it connects to the Terminal Island Freeway right-of-way if it is transformed into a local serving street, as proposed in the Green TI Plan. There will be a modest sized raised median, providing area for an ambassador to great visitors and residents to CVC. The sidewalks flanking Williams Street will be generally more gracious to serve the active mobility users within the core of CVC.

The east end of Williams Street would end at an elongated roundabout that terminates the vista and allow vehicles to turnaround. Doing so would re-orient the entire Villages at Cabrillo from behind the Technology Park and Terminal Island STREET

Willard Street will be reconfigured from a parking lane to more closely resemble the other streets within the Villages at Cabrillo.

These streets will largely maintain a consistent profile to each other. There are also a series of tertiary connections for services, vehicles and pedestrians, including walking paths and alleys connecting the primary and secondary circulation network.

The new West Long Beach Transit Center developed as
part of the Anchor Place development began service in
2018. Two existing transit routes have been rerouted
onto the Villages at Cabrillo where they begin and end
their respective lines. The transit center has real time bus location information so that residents can better
plan their trips. The bus platform will be long enough
for multiple buses to layover as they wait to begin their respective routes.

The CVC transit center serves as the terminus for two Long Beach Transit bus routes that will now extend onto community, reaching the Veterans Hospital, Long Beach State University and regional shopping centers. Two additional Long Beach Transit bus routes currently ending at Willow Street and Santa Fe Avenue could eventually be extended

PUBLIC TRANSIT

5.3 to this new Westside transit node. The new routes could connect residents to multiple hospitals, regional shopping malls and job centers. Doing so will require coordination with Long Beach Transit and authentic engagement with residents and local stakeholders to weigh the potential benefits and challenges.

The expanded transit access will be expanded upon
through a vanpool program that connects residents to
specific destinations, whether grocery stores, medical
centers or community events. This can be done in collaboration with Long Beach Transit, service providers and local retailers. Car share should also be considered as the residential population expands at the Villages at Cabrillo in order to provide further transportation flexibility without burdening residents with private automobiles. 70 MOBILITY + STREETSCAPE

As part of new secure bicycle parking and bike paths
incorporated into the Wellness Trail network additional bike facilities will be established in future developments and programming. Until the City of Long Beach bike share program is expanded to the Westside the Villages at
Cabrillo will work with community partners to develop a local bike share program. As part of the program, residents can be trained in safe bicycling and even basic bike repair in order to support their transportation independence.

These trails also serve as a secondary network of emergency vehicle access throughout the Villages at Cabrillo, a
requirement for all new developments. The width of the
Wellness Trail will be divided between a two-way bike path, walkway and jogging path. The sidewalk and bike path would be paved with concrete while the jogging path shall have a low impact surface like a stabilized decomposed granite .

BICYCLES

5.4 The Wellness Trails will provide a safe, separated active transportation network with limited interruptions for
vehicle access. Where they intersect the roadway network, the crossings will be reduced by a combination of curb
extensions and raised medians that would serve as areas of refuge. The portion of the street intersecting the Wellness Trails will be tabled, approaching the sidewalk curb height and will be paved differently from the roadway. These
treatments will raise awareness for drivers that the crossing is a shared space to be aware of pedestrians and bicyclists.

The exact alignment of the bicycle network will be

The transportation network emphasizes walking as one of the primary modes of transportation within the Village.

Walkways will be consistently designed between seven and ten feet, sized the support to surrounding levels of activity.

Wider walkways should be provided adjacent to more active uses in the core of CVC, with more modest pedestrian facilities serving secondary and tertiary areas. All existing and new walkways are to surpass accessibility requirements dictated by local, State and Federal requirements as many of the residents within the Villages at Cabrillo have impaired mobility. Where possible, the most direct routes shall be provided for pedestrians to access their residence, services and community amenities. 90% of each block length of the existing the new circulation networks shall have a pedestrian pathway.

PEDESTRIANS

5.5 Street furniture and pedestrian-scale lighting shall be provided throughout the local network of Wellness Trail, walkways and open spaces. The palate and siting of benches, trashcans, lighting and way-finding shall be consistent throughout the community in order to be accessible and
welcoming of users. Public Art should also be considered a welcome addition to the pedestrian realm and be curated to reflect the interests of residents.

The exact alignment of the pedestrian path network will be established as part of each development. Facilities displayed in Exhibit 5-4 are to demonstrate intended connections. 76 MOBILITY + STREETSCAPE

The vehicle parking requirements considers access to
transit and active transportation infrastructure, while acknowledging the economic reality of private automobile ownership among residents of the Villages at Cabrillo.

There are al so oppor tunities to fur ther manage
transportation and vehicle parking demand by employing
a variety of programs and measures, some defined in the LEED – Neighborhood Development program. Employers
within the CVCSP area will be encouraged to arrange flexible work programs in order to mitigate traffic during peak rush hours, as well as reduce parking demand. CVC will also offer transportation in case of emergency situations for these commuters via the Guaranteed Ride Home program, in
collaboration with Metro. Transit passes will be provided free or at reduced-price to residents and employees.

TRANSPORTATION

DEMAND MANAGEMENT

5.6 Accommodations for shared-use or short-term rental
vehicles will be made in central locations, providing
residents the flexibility of using an automobile without the obligation of owning a private vehicle. Partnerships with local businesses and community organizations can further augment the transit service through shuttles. Vanpools can also be explored for employees and trips including groups of residents. Carpool/shared-use vehicle parking shall be provided for each non-residential and mixed-use building on site, with an assigned area of 10% of the total off-street parking spaces, and within 200 ft. walking distance of the building being served.

The exact placement of parking will be established as part of each development. Facilities displayed in Exhibit 5-6 are to demonstrate intended distribution.

The Villages at Cabrillo makes up less than a fifth of the overall footprint of the former Savannah Navy Housing Community.

The Planned Development District 31 was established to
guide the redevelopment of the nearly a third of the 140 acres of federal property upon the decommissioning of
the Long Beach Naval Station. The PD-31 was intended to establish guidelines for 1) the use and development of a 30 acre parcel of land for the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) Research and Technology Center, and 2) a 26 acre parcel of land for the Villages at Cabrillo.

The remaining two-thirds of the former Savannah
community was set aside for the Long Beach Unified
School District to create Cabrillo High School, for the U.S.

Department of Labor to establish the Long Beach Job Corp Center, and for the City of Long Beach to build the West

5.7 Long Beach Police Station. With Cabrillo High School to the north, Job Corp Center to the east, CSULB Tech Center to the south, and Terminal Island Freeway, the Villages at Cabrillo is effectively land-locked with a single public access point at the southwest corner of the campus from San Gabriel
Avenue, which connects to Pacific Coast Highway.

The isolation of the Villages at Cabrillo provides the
advantage of insulating residents of CVC from some of
the pressures from the large community, while limiting
access to community amenities outside of the campus – like grocery stores, school campuses, and park. Surrounding the CVC campus by four single-use properties and regionalserving infrastructure has also limited emergency vehicle access to two points of access from the south – one via the 80 CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
MOBILITY + STREETSCAPE
San Gabriel Avenue public right-of-way, and the second a limited access easement negotiated with the CSULB Tech
Center property owner.

FIRE LANE/WELLNESS TRAIL NETWORK
To increase emergency vehicle access, the CVCSP includes guidance for creation of a secondary network of emergency vehicle access routes that also provide active transportation facilities within the campus. These new fire lanes will have vehicle access exclusive to emergency service providers and management, the limited use/access allows those
facilities to also form a wellness network for residents to connect throughout the community whether walking,
jogging or on a bicycle. This secondary network connects to the existing street network to and within the project area, while refining the current block structure to those more consistent throughout Long Beach.

The fire lanes will be developed concurrent to adjacent housing development to ensure that emergency access
is maintained and improved as part of each phase of
implementation. This also allows for development of this new circulation network can be funded as part of off-site improvements that can be reasonably associated with each affordable housing development.

ADDITIONAL ACCESS PROJECT AREA
The Villages at Cabrillo had been able to negotiate and secure limited access through the CSULB Tech Center as
part of development of Anchor Place and Cabrillo Gateway.

The access is limited to emergency vehicles, public transit, and pedestrians, along Technology Place, with a pedestrian access and exclusively egress for Long Beach Transit buses.

Emergency vehicles access is currently provided from both

1. San Gabriel Avenue, and 2. River Avenue/Technology Way, via the negotiated access easement.

Through implementation of the CVCSP, the developer will work with city officials, and adjacent property owners
to secure additional access to the campus for emergency vehicles. This will necessitate negotiations with these various public entities to secure a right-of-way, easement, or limited access agreement. Over the duration of the CVCSP future expansion of the residential population will prompt the construction of one or more of these new connections from the West, North, and/or East sides of the campus
A. TERMINAL ISLAND FREEWAY –

GREEN TI PLAN
The City of Long Beach developed and adopted the Green TI Plan, a Plan for transforming the Terminal Island (TI) Freeway into a local serving road with an associated greenbelt.

Community and stakeholder input used to help inform
plans to decommission the TI Freeway, while increasing open space and buffering this community from air, noise, light and visual pollution. As part of the CVCSP, it is anticipated that potentially reconfiguring this portion of the Terminal Island Freeway as a local road could provide an opportunity to reorient the campus to the west with direct vehicle
and active transportation connections. This could include extending Williams Street – along with flanking sidewalks, parkways, and streetscape to the west, connecting to the potential replacement road.

While the Green TI Plan was adopted in 2015, the plan still needs considerably more analysis and engagement with
stakeholders in the adjacent Cities of Los Angeles and Carson.

As the Terminal Island Freeway right-of-way north of the Pacific Coast Highway interchange is owned by the City of Long Beach, negotiations and coordination of this future connection would take place between the Villages at Cabrillo and multiple departments within the City.

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN

B. TERMINAL ISLAND FREEWAY –

EXISTING CONFIGURATION
As the Terminal Island Freeway is currently configured, any additional access between the freeway and the project area would be limited to vehicles – likely emergency vehicle.

This would be limited to adjacent northbound lanes of
the Terminal Island Freeway and would necessitate an
acceleration and de-acceleration lane from the freeway to the campus. To limit potential conflicts with northbound traffic leaving the Pacific Coast Highway interchange, the access point would likely be located at the north-most
portion of the west edge of the campus, leading from the turnaround at the terminus of San Gabriel Avenue. As the TI Freeway right-of-way north of the Pacific Coast Highway interchange is owned by the City of Long Beach, negotiations and coordination of this future connection would take place between the Villages at Cabrillo and multiple departments within the City, and potentially Caltrans.

C. TERMINAL ISLAND FREEWAY-

HILL STREET ACCESS ROAD
There is between seventy and one hundred and thirty feet of surplus public right-of-way between the northbound
Terminal Island Freeway and the Cabrillo High School
campus. A temporary emergency vehicle access road can be constructed within this portion of the city-owned Terminal Island Freeway until a more permanent connection can be constructed as part of implementing the Green TI Plan. The access road would likely be connected at the north-most portion of the west edge of the campus, leading from the turnaround at the terminus of San Gabriel Avenue. As the TI Freeway right-of-way north of the Pacific Coast Highway interchange is owned by the City of Long Beach, negotiations and coordination of this future connection would take place between the Villages at Cabrillo and multiple departments within the City.

D. CABRILLO HIGH SCHOOL –
MONITOR AVENUE/20TH STREET
Currently, Williams Street is bifurcated by an existing chain link fence and gated that defines the edges of the Villages at Cabrillo and Cabrillo High School. Williams Street provides the central east-west circulation for pedestrians and
vehicles through the Villages at Cabrillo, and is intended to ultimately become the primary entrance to the campus from the Terminal Island Freeway replacement road. Williams
connects the southwest most corner of Cabrillo High School and the Villages to Monitor Avenue [north-south] and West 20th Street [east-west]. Both Monitor and West 20th are service roads, fire lanes and parking lanes that connect the rear portions of the campus to West Hill Street and Santa Fe Avenue respectively.

Currently, the Villages at Cabrillo have an informal agreement with Long Beach Unified School District to provide limited pedestrian access for student-residents to Cabrillo High School, making a nearly mile-long walk from the center of the Villages to the High School’s front door, into a well-timed passage through an existing pedestrian gate. Expanding this connection to include emergency vehicle access requires little construction [add a Knox box] but would necessitate an access agreement between the two entities, similar to the one achieved between the Villages at Cabrillo and CSULB Tech Center property owners.

The exact alignment of the emergency vehicle access to the campus will be established as part of a future development.

The additional emergency egress shall be established
before completing the incremental expansion of 200 total additional residential units over the baseline program set upon adoption of the CVCSP. Facilities displayed in Exhibit 5-7 are to demonstrate potential options for emergency access. 82 CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

SECTION SIX

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
New development will use the available property more
efficiently as mixed-use buildings with multiple levels of residential units will be built over enclosed parking garages and ground floor community-oriented programming. This
development strategy will build upon the success of the model set by the recently completed Cabrillo Gateway
and Anchor Place, and preserving the scarce resource
that is land.

Building heights will generally be focused towards the
center of the Villages at Cabrillo with taller buildings clustered around the intersection of Williams and River, tapering down going to the east and north. The Westside Transit Center will become the transportation node
for the community, adjacent to the administrative and
commercial hubs of activity. Building heights, and activity levels of the new development shall then taper off from 60-80 feet in the center to 40-60 feet going toward the edges of the property.

Building massing will be used to define outdoor spaces and urban walls along the primary circulation paths in order to create dynamic public spaces. The building heights and setbacks of new development shall create a consistent
height to width ratio along Williams Street and east half of San Gabriel Avenue and River Avenue, as well as the
new Wellness Trail network.

The building heights and setbacks of new development
around the community spaces shall also clearly define the desired spatial volume while maximizing solar orientation and desired acoustics. For example, the building edges
around the more formal Town Square shall be more rigidly defined than the broader Grand Lawn and Play Garden.

Residential courtyards and terraces shall maximize access of natural light and air for residential units facing upon the space while being more intimate in scale from the
more public spaces.

BUILDING

FORM & DESIGN

6.1 Also new building massing should be designed to respond to existing context – specifically those that will remain for the long term, to avoid abrupt changes in scale between new and existing structures. The North Williams and South San Gabriel Buildings will be located within close proximity to shorter structures that will remain for the foreseeable future and thus they should be articulated to respond to and take advantage of their respective adjacent context.

Also consult the CVC LEED -Neighborhood Development
certification documentation or additional considerations for building design. Catch basins, bioswales and retention/ detention facilities will be developed to address the
Villages at Cabrillo’s unique drainage conditions.

Additional phases related to infrastructure improvements and new community amenities will be implemented as
funding and opportunities are available. Expansion of the Administration Building will be an eventual necessity as the volume of work increases with residents and services.

The conversion of Willard Street from a parking lane will further standardize the Villages at Cabrillo remaining
roadway while providing space for completion of the
Wellness Trail networks

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The western extension of Williams Street which could
include the reorientation of the entire community would take place as part of the potential city-led Terminal Island Freeway replacement project. Doing so could present the Urban Forest as the front yard of the Villages at Cabrillo, integrating into the future mile-long public greenbelt
that replaces the then former freeway.

BUILDING HEIGHT TO STREET WIDTH
50% of the block length of existing & new circulation
networks shall have a minimum ratio building
height-to-street centerline of 1:1.5

REINFORCE URBAN EDGE
The urban edge shall be reinforced by the massing of the proposed buildings with consistent massing along the
circulation network, and greater articulation at primary entrances and toward common outdoor spaces.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Proposed buildings are to employ contemporary
architectural design and details, while reinforcing the current urban village aesthetic design and scale. Historicist styles are not encouraged

DESIGN DETAIL
High quality design details and use of material should be provided where it is most accessible and visible, including building facades that face the circulation network and
common open spaces. The overall design of the building
should remain consistent between exterior facades as well as interior building faces.

BUILDING ARTICULATION
Proposed buildings shall be horizontally and vertically articulated to provide a human scale, avoiding monolithic urban edges. The building base, body, and crown, as well as the block-length shall be articulated to compliment
neighboring development, without being formulaic or
repetitious.

MATERIAL & COLOR CHANGE
A variety of high quality material, colors, details and patterns should be used to provide visual interest and
reinforce the human scale articulated in the building form.

BUILDING DEPTH
Building facades should express a depth and permanence
with architectural details integrated into the building articulation and openings, and not be applied in nature.

Window and door openings shall be properly recessed when employed in a general manner to provide some visual depth in the facade.

The ground floor level of future development will typically have a higher ceiling height to have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of uses including commercial,
service providers and community amenities. This is a
typical model of mixed-use development that has been
employed on the community with the recently completed Cabrillo Gateway and upcoming Anchor Place. This has provided viable space for service partners like The Children’s Clinic to co-locate in the development, create new community amenities like the demonstration kitchen and administrative functions.

These new ground floor functions also provide constant
activity toward the pedestrian environment and around
community open spaces while masking secure bike and
automobile parking for the residents above. As most future phases within the Community Plan will apply this strategy for the ground floor, existing and future tenants and amenities shall be programmed to best serve the local residents, adjacent spaces and current partners. Also consult the CVC LEED -Neighborhood Development certification documentation or additional considerations for building design.

OPEN SPACE ACCESS
Locate at least one community and passive use space within a quarter-mile walk of 90% of building entrances of new and existing dwelling units and nonresidential buildings.

NEIGHBORHOOD-SCALE OPEN SPACE
Locate at least one community outdoor recreation facility at least 1 acre in area, or an accessible indoor recreational facility of at least 25,000 SF within a half-mile walk of 90% of building entrances of new and existing dwelling units and nonresidential buildings.

PUBLIC BY DESIGN
The community outdoor spaces and amenities shall be
designed to the quality and durability of comparable public spaces, due to ease of access, intended volume of use, and amount of residents being served.

MULTI-PURPOSE SPACES
The community outdoor spaces shall be designed to serve a multitude of purposes, including but not limited to recreation, social, habitat, environmental, and programming.

Single-use spaces and amenities should be limited.

SITE FURNITURE
Site furniture, such as seating, drinking fountains, bike racks, banners/signs, water features, and public art should be incorporated into the streetscape and community open space, and should complement the overall architectural
character of the community.

The implementation of the future phases of development
at the Villages shall each consider their respective capacity to deliver community open spaces and amenities beyond
those within the buildings that are dedicated to those
new residents. Whether private balconies and patios for each dwelling unit, along with courtyards and decks for the development, there are a variety of open spaces and amenities that are to be accessible to residents across the Villages at Cabrillo.

While these open spaces are to be designed to serve the spectrum of private to public, they shall be designed as an interconnected network of spaces that provide the
greatest variety of experiences while avoiding obvious
barriers like fences and yard walls. Also consult the
CVC LEED -Neighborhood Development certification
documentation or additional considerations for open space design, programming, and placement.

6.4 ENCLOSED PARKING
All new proposed ground-level parking garages is encouraged to be under habitable space and are therefore excluded from being considered surface parking facilities and from the size and location restrictions.

EXISTING PARKING LOTS
Existing open parking lots shall be covered or reconfigured to function as a street with typical travel lanes, flanking sidewalks, and curbside parking.

VISIBLE PARKING
No more than 20% of block length shall have exposed parking garages or service bays visible to the circulation network or community spaces.

PARKING ACCESS
Parking garages should be limited to one single vehicle access – from a driveway between 20-24’ wide, with priority access being from Service Lane, then Neighborhood Street, then Gateway Street.

VEHICLE CONFLICT
Vehicle access to each site must be designed to minimize conflict with pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles.

Sight lines and lighting, driveways and curb-cuts, bicycle facilities, pedestrian walkways, and landscape shall be designed comprehensively to encourage awareness and
conscientious interaction between users.

SECURE BICYCLE PARKING
Bicycle parking should be provided in secure locations that are easily accessible to the outdoors, ideally located within close proximity of the primary building entrance and/or building circulation. They can be provided within a secure room and/or bike lockers with assigned spaces for residents and employees.

SHARED BICYCLE PARKING
Bicycle racks shall be provided for visitors and short term parking within high visibility, easily accessible near building entrances.

LOADING AND SERVICE LOCATION
Loading, utilities, and refuse areas shall be located to avoid impacting the primary and secondary visual frontages, or being a nuisance for building occupants or neighboring
properties or circulation.

LOADING AND SERVICE DESIGN

EXISTING TREES
Existing trees located within a proposed project site that are rated “good” or “excellent” within a tree survey authored by an accredited arborist or licensed landscape architect shall be protected in place. The tree can be relocated from or within the project site if the new location is deemed appropriate by the same arborist or landscape architect.

The existing tree canopy shall be preserved when possible, otherwise to be replaced at a two to one ratio on the
community. Trees shall be planted in parkways or tree
wells no more than twenty-four feet apart with tree
alleys being introduced upon significant pedestrian
spaces. Trees shall be selected based on their climate
appropriateness, ability to control solar access and reduce residents’ exposure to local pollution.

Future landscape improvements within the Villages
at Cabrillo shall continue to using the plant palette
developed for Cabrillo Gateway and Anchor Place.

Resilient, drought tolerant landscape, ideally plants that are native to California or to similar climates shall be used for planted areas. The use of turf shall be limited to play areas and spaces that receive occasional foot

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
The proposed street tree plan for the CVC is based on
providing the best quality environment for the community.

The street tree species are chosen for their ability to provide shade, aid in storm water management and help the
overall urban environment by dealing with pollution.

Specific tree species are chosen for each street and
open space location. The street tree species along main connecting pathways will provide accent along these
pedestrian walkways for wayfinding as well as a shaded
environment for the community to enjoy. These trees have large canopies for shade and colorful accent flowers. Specific species along main vehicular roads will provide shade to help with heat island effect in our urban built environment. These trees will be evergreen varieties that have large canopies to provide as much shade as possible. By using different colors and textures with these tree species it helps users within the overall campus with wayfinding.

The existing CVC campus has many successful tree species that have mature growth. We have chosen to strengthen
those areas by infilling these species to create a more complete urban forest of each type of tree. The trees overall are chosen to be fast growing to get to a shaded stage more quickly. The trees are able to deal with different types of soil and changing water environments. This is a critical element in choosing trees for our Southern California environment.

The trees need to be able to tolerate changing weather
and water influx. Trees are able to help with storm water management by filtering out toxins and slowing run off
for the area. The main goal is to provide a comfortable healthy community for residents to live in our Southern California environment. The open space is provided to help remove residents from the surrounding dense urban city.

We wanted to provide an oasis for the community in our
urban environment with a lush residential feel.

SECTION SEVEN
Developed in the 1960s, the Villages at Cabrillo community was part of the former Cabrillo/Savannah Naval Housing
development which consisted of 135 acres of housing units.

The Naval Housing development was in operation until
the mid-1990s, after which the Navy abandoned the
development and the land was broken up and transferred
to the City of Long Beach, California State University of Long Beach, The Long Beach Job Corps, and the Long Beach Unified School District. In 1997, under the McKinney Act, a 26 acre portion of the formal Naval Housing development

INFRASTRUCTURE

7.1 The existing on-site community drainage system is
completely private and consists of underground pipes,
catch basins, and detention basins that manage the on-site storm water. The basic drainage pattern for the community runs from north to south with the community being
serviced by varying sizes of storm drain main lines that range from 24” plastic (PVC/HDPE) pipes at the north of the community to a 35”x24” corrugated metal arch pipe (CMP) at the south of the community which then drains into a
neighboring property’s 42” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain main line which in turn ties into an existing 54” public storm drain line along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).

Although the drainage system within the community is
private, an agreement exists between Century Villages of Cabrillo and the City of Long Beach relative to the on-site storm water storage capacity for the community. The storm water storage capacity was establish in the late 1990’s as a measure to manage the downstream system since the public system along PCH is undersized. The purpose of the storm water storage guidelines is to reduce the peak drainage flow entering the downstream storm drain main line. These drainage guidelines established a peak 10-Year runoff limit of

0.57cfs per acre and a detention requirement of 2,182 cubic feet per acre. To achieve the detention requirement, Villages at Cabrillo created water detention areas throughout
the community.

Since establishing the storm water storage capacity

was transferred to Villages at Cabrillo for the purpose of providing transitional and permanent housing to those in need. Since the transfer of the 26 acres, the community acquired an additional acre from the City of Long Beach bringing the area of the community to 27 acres total. The CVC community existing infrastructure, along with much
of the site utilities, was built with the former Cabrillo/ Savannah Naval Housing development in the 1960s.

7.4 CVC receives communication service from Frontier
Communications (aka Verizon) via underground conduit
with fiber, electricity is provided to the site by Southern California Edison via underground and overhead power and gas is provided by Long Beach Gas and Oil via underground piping. All dry utility connections within the Specific Plan area shall be located within underground conduit and vaults in the private street easements. These service providers will be consulted and fees paid when necessary as each
portion of the Specific Plan is built.

DRY UTILITIES

7.3 The existing on-site community sewer system is completely private and consists of Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) and
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe varying in size from 6 inch to 10 inch mainlines, brick manholes and concrete manholes.

The on-site sewer system flows in the general direction from North to South with two public 8” lines located to the South of the community, to the West in Technology
Place and within the private property located at 2161
Technology Place to the East. The western line gravity
flows to the connection point within Technology Place
while the eastern line flows from a sewer pump station
to the public connection point via a force main.

For developments within the community that increase
the amount of sewage flows into the downstream public
system, CVC pays the required impact fees to the Long
Beach Water Department for the purpose of expanding
and/or replacing the existing sewer pipes serving the
Specific Plan area as needed to provide adequate capacity to accommodate increased sewer flows. In addition to

SECTION EIGHT

ENHANCING THE VILLAGES

CVC MASTER PLAN
This chapter lays out the roles, responsibility, process for ensuring the Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan is implemented effectively, as well as the ability to be reviewed and amended based on the evolving needs of the City of
Long Beach. The chapter also includes the framework of
development phasing of the CVCSP and identifies potential financial resources for supporting the development of affordable housing, along with associated amenities
and infrastructure.

Century Housing is the steward of the 27-acre community and developer of all the improvements since the property transferred ownership from the Federal government.

The City of Long Beach is the custodian of the CVCSP,
reviewing and approving projects being proposed within
the planning area. Together, CHC and the City of Long
Beach leverage local resources to secure funding and
financing for the implementation of the plan.

8.1.1 PLANNING AUTHORITY
The CVCSP provides a framework for an effective and
sensitive redevelopment of the CHC in a manner that meets the intentions of the Villages at Cabrillo organization, as well as their residents and partners, and is consistent with the City of Long Beach General Plan. The CVCSP
was prepared based on the provisions of the California
Government Code Sections 65450 – 65457 Article 8,
granting local government the authority to prepare specific plans.

The CVCSP connects each proposed development, open
space, infrastructure, and transportation project to the City of Long Beach’s General Plan. As such the CVCSP is the regulatory document for all projects within the boundaries of the Villages at Cabrillo. This includes allowable landuses, development standards, and design guidelines for development, strategies for community infrastructure
investment for open space, transportation, and utilities.

GENERAL

ADMINISTRATION

8.1 110
As the plan has been crafted in collaboration between
the City of Long Beach and CHC the CVCSP represents the collective vision for the future development of the 27- acre community. The CVCSP provides a common language
for property owners, project proposers, consultants,
and approving agencies within local government. Five
hearing bodies or officers shall make decisions on the
various procedures provided for as follows:

CENTURY VILLAGES AT CABRILLO

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
TABLE 8.1A
Approving Authority
A. Director
The Development Services Director or designated representative may approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications that meet the requirements of this Specific Plan and do not require a conditional use permit. The Director holds final approval authority for and enforcement of building permits, certificates of occupancy, sign permits, and temporary use permits.

B. Zoning Administrator
The Zoning Administrator is established to provide, among other things, a hearing officer to conduct public hearings. The Zoning Administrator shall be a Planning Officer designated by the Director of Planning and Building with the approval of the Planning Commission. The Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to consider and act on requests for variances. The Zoning Administrator may approve, conditionally approve, or deny a request, or refer the application to the Planning Commission in accordance with Chapter 21.25 of the Long Beach Municipal Code. The Zoning Administrator’s actions may be appealed to the Planning Commission.

C. Site Plan Review Committee
The Site Plan Review Committee shall consist of the Director of Planning and Building and two (2) designate planning officers. The Site Plan Review Committee has the authority to consider alternative configurations and compliances with certain development standards in the CVCSP, as noted throughout the Plan document, provided that these alternatives meet the fundamental intent of this Plan and further the goals of this Plan.

D. Planning Commission
The Planning Commission shall be responsible for the hearings indicated in Chapter 21 of the Long Beach Municipal Code except as modified by Section 8.1.3 of this CVCSP. The appointed Planning Commission may recommend approval, conditional approval, or denial of conditional use permits, applications for variances, major amendments, and appeals of the actions of the Director or Site Plan Review Committee to the City Council.

E. City Council
The City Council shall be responsible for actions indicated in Chapter 21 of the Long Beach Municipal Code. City Council actions on amendments to the CVCSP are hearings and shall follow the noticing procedures set forth in Chapter 21. The City Council may approve, conditionally approve, or deny conditional use permits, applications for variances, specific plan amendments, and appeals of the actions of the Planning Commission.
110 ADMINISTRATION + IMPLEMENTATION

8.1.2 INTERPRETATION AND SEVERABILITY
If uncertainty arises concerning the content or application of the Zoning Ordinance and its standards, the Zoning
Administrator or Director of Development Services shall be authorized to determine all pertinent facts and interpret the Ordinance. Alternatively, the Zoning Administrator
or Director of Development Services may request the
Planning Commission to make such interpretation. In
no instance, however, shall the Zoning Administrator or Director of Development Services determine, nor shall
these regulations be so interpreted, that a use shall be permitted in a zone when such use is specifically listed as permissible in another zone. The classification of use procedure, which is set forth in Division VI of Chapter

21.25 of the Municipal Code, shall be utilized to resolve such discrepancies.

If any chapter, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of the CVCSP, or future amendments or additions hereto, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the plan.

8.1.3 REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS
The implementation of this Specific Plan is essential to meeting the housing needs of the City of Long Beach and serving its most disadvantaged residents. The provisions of Chapter 21.25 of the Long Beach Municipal Code are
superseded by this Specific Plan. The site plan review
process is established 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.

Upon approval of the CVCSP by the City Council all future projects, regardless of size, shall be subject to ministerial conformance review by the Director of Development
Services. The projects shall be presented to the Site
Plan Review Committee for design-review as part of
the Director of Development Services review. Project
conformance determinations are not subject to further
environmental review . Conformance determinations
are not subject to review except in circumstances where the applicant alleges the Director has misinterpreted or exceeded the controls established in the CVCSP in which case the Planning Commission shall hear the appeal of
the interpretation only (not any underlying project or
development) and refer the matter back to the Director
with instructions.

8.1.4 AMENDMENTS TO SPECIFIC PLAN
Approval of the CVCSP indicates acceptance by the
City Council of a general framework for community
development within the Villages at Cabrillo. The CVCSP
provides a regulatory framework consisting of allowable uses, development standards, and design guidelines. It is anticipated that modifications to the CVCSP related to
general updates to the plan or development proposals
will be necessary in the future.

Minor modifications to the Specific Plan are to be reviewed and approved administratively by the Department
Director. Minor Modifications include reallocation of
program, changes to allowable uses, development
standards, and design guidelines . Major modifications
include increases to the overall program capacity,
deviations to the guiding principles, and alterations to the Specific Plan boundaries.

Any major modifications to the Specific Plan shall occur in CVCSP amendment process and are required to be
reviewed for approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. In all cases, specific plan amendments must be found to be in conformance with the objectives and
intent of the CVCSP. In addition to meeting all qualifying standards set forth in Chapter 21.37 of the City of Long Beach Municipal Code, and notwithstanding any other
provisions, the following procedures shall apply to the amendment of CVCSP:

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
ADMINISTRATION + IMPLEMENTATION 111
basis. Agencies generally prepare EIRs for programs or a series of related actions that are linked geographically; are logical parts of a chain of contemplated events,
rules, regulations, or plans that govern the conduct of a continuing program; or are individual activities carried out under the same authority and having generally similar environmental effects that can be mitigated in similar
ways.

This approach is consistent with the tiering provision in California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 for “Projects Consistent
with a Community Plan or Zoning.” This tiering opportunity is only available for plans (e.g., specific plan) for which an EIR has been prepared. Note that tiering under
these provisions will require environmental review and
documentation to substantiate that a subsequent project does not result in any new potentially significant impacts.

Such review (under 21083.3/15083) could be documented
in the form of an Initial Study to ensure “topic by topic” review and substantiation or under other streamlined
review processes as established by the Director of
Development Services. Once consistency has been
substantiated and review shows that the project would
not result in new significant impacts, neither a mitigated negative declaration nor an EIR would be required.

Additionally, no formal public review would be required.

Projects may also be exempt from CEQA review pursuant
to other sections of CEQA (e.g., exemptions for residential infill projects, statutory exemptions, or categorical
exemptions) depending on the size of the project and
type of development. The type of CEQA review needed
for each project will be determined by the City staff
during their review of the type of project or development proposed. For purely ministerial conformance review of
projects compliant with the CVCSP and EIR, no further
discretionary action and no further CEQA documentation
shall be required.

TABLE 8.1B
Major Modifications to Specific Plan
The City of Long Beach certified the Environmental Impact Report [EIR] as part of the CVCSP pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act
[CEQA]. To address potential environmental impacts,
mitigation measures identified through the EIR process
are incorporated within the CVCSP to ensure delivery as part of the implementation process.

Mitigation measures are referenced within the CVCSP and will be identified as part of subsequent project submittals.

Future submittals shall be evaluated by the Director of Development Services for conformance with the CVCSP
and the EIR. No further CEQA analysis shall be required for conformance review.

The EIR may be subject to a more limited environmental
review process, as determined by the Planning Bureau of the City of Long Beach only in those circumstances where an amendment or exception to the CVCSP is requested.

Use of a EIR provides the City of Long Beach with the
opportunity to consider broad policy alternatives and
site-wide mitigation measures and provides the City
with greater flexibility to address project-specific and cumulative environmental impacts on a comprehensive

A. Submission of a Detailed Development Plan
The applicant shall submit a detailed development plan which indicates the use and development concepts within the CVCSP area. Depending upon the nature of the proposed specific plan amendment, a supplemental environmental analysis may be required, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15162.

B. Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission shall review and hold a public hearing on the establishment of or a proposed amendment to the CVCSP. The application shall be heard as a rezoning matter pursuant to the requirements of Division I of this Title. The Planning Commission shall recommend action on any amendment to the City Council.

C. City Council

CVC SPECIFIC PLAN
112 ADMINISTRATION + IMPLEMENTATION
The following section and associated exhibits describe
the potential strategy for developing the project sites within the Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan. This includes contemplated site for new housing developments, as well as associated off-site improvements and community amenities. These projects as proposed in the exhibits are intended to meet the intentions of the Guiding Principles and Urban Design Strategies. The material described in this section of the appendix is not regulatory or prescriptive in nature, and is strictly intended for informational purposes and not intended to be prescriptive. It is anticipated that future development will naturally deviate from this phasing due to new requirements, population needs, funding
limitations or other factors.

Development of the Specific Plan will take place over
numerous phases, implementing the specific plan
maintains flexibility to respond to evolving funding
opportunities and logistic constraints. Most of the new development will take place along Williams Street and

PROJECT

IMPLEMENTATION

8.3 toward the north end of San Gabriel Avenue. Initial phases will focus on replacing aging housing stock of Savannah, with the following phases dedicated to expanding
affordable dwelling units, community amenities and
services.

As a built out community, upgrading housing and
amenities require removing existing structures and
relocating residents, services and amenities. The phasing of future development is planned to limit the impacts
and amount of relocating of residents and service
providers. Development of Site A will be preceded by
the gradual vacation of the eastern most cluster of the Savannah Housing either as residents move on or through relocation to other parts of the Villages at Cabrillo.

Residents from the remaining Savannah can move into
the new development on Site A, Savannah Replacement
development which frees up much of the remaining
former Navy structures for redevelopment.

Future leases of the remaining Navy reuse buildings shall be planned so that their respective agreement expirations

coincide with the corresponding future development
phase. Ground floor spaces of the new developments
should also be planned to host existing service providers to limit relocations and impacts. The phasing strategy
for improvements to community amenities shall also be
planned to maintain each of them while expanding upon
the current offerings to residents.

Each new residential development will be accompanied
by associated site and off-site improvements. This
will include upgrading the roadways, stormwater
infrastructure, utilities, outdoor spaces and pedestrian access. When completed the Specific Plan will upgrade
all roadways and sidewalks to design and construction
standards similar to those of the City of Long Beach for public infrastructure. A system of sustainable stormwater management infrastructure including catch basins,
bioswales and retention/detention facilities will be
developed to address the Villages at Cabrillo’s unique
drainage conditions.

Additional development phases related to infrastructure improvements and new community amenities will be
implemented as funding and logistic opportunities are
available. Expansion of the Administration Building will be an eventual necessity as the volume of work increases with residents and services. The conversion of Willard
Street from a parking lane will further standardize the Villages at Cabrillo remaining roadway while providing
space for completion of the Wellness Trail networks.

The western extension of Williams Street which would
include the reorientation of the entire community could take place as part of the potential city-led Terminal Island Freeway replacement project. Doing so could present the Urban Forest as the front yard of the Villages at Cabrillo, integrating into the future mile-long public greenbelt
that replaces the then former freeway. Transforming the city-owned portion of the Terminal Island Freeway into a local street and public greenbelt could also provide the opportunity for different development strategies for
those parcels along the west side of San Gabriel Avenue.

While the phasing strategy described in this section of the Appendix assumes the retention of the freeway rightof-way in its current configuration, the city-lead project could provide the opportunity to develop additional
housing and associated community amenities.

In the interim, the Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan would include establishing a new emergency vehicle access along the west, north, or east end of the campus, to supplement existing connections along the south, at
River Avenue and San Gabriel Avenue. One new connection as identified within exhibit 5-7: Emergency Vehicle Access, shall be established before completing the incremental
expansion of 200 total additional residential units.

ZONE CHANGE FINDINGS
Century Villages at Cabrillo
Application No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)
Pursuant to Section 21.25.106 of the Long Beach Municipal Code, in all cases, the Planning Commission and the City Council shall be required to make the following findings of fact before rezoning a parcel. These findings and staff analysis are presented for consideration, adoption and incorporation into the record of proceedings:

1. THE PROPOSED CHANGE WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE

CHARACTER, LIVABILITY OR APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA; AND
Positive Finding: The proposed Specific Plan is the result of a considerable community engagement process. An extensive outreach process spanning three years was launched that included engaging residents, service providers and administrators through over a dozen meetings, workshops, and community events.

Multiple surveys were also distributed to gauge resident opinion on general and specific subject matters related to the Plan Area update. The Plan Area encompasses a portion of the former Naval Housing facilities (27-acres) located west of the Terminal Island Freeway, east and south of Cabrillo High School, and north of Technology Way.

The proposed Specific Plan is a master plan of a residential community that includes emergency, bridge/transitional and permanent housing with supportive services. The Specific Plan includes principals and goals to guide future development, programming and improvements that will occur in the Plan Area.

These objectives will support the Specific Plan’s goals to support the current and future needs, challenges and opportunities for the area, guide redevelopment of antiquated building stock and available land, streamline the review and approval process for future phases of development, and provide certainty for government agencies, property owners, and developers.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the project, identifying potentially significant effects. A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project, analyzing the following environmental effects: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems. The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review period between June 18, 2021 and August 2, 2021. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which is included in the Final EIR, is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project buildout. While mitigation measures have been Zone Change Findings
Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan
App No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

proposed to reduce the level of environmental impacts, the Final EIR identified certain impacts that would remain significant, unavoidable, and adverse even after all feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. These environmental impacts involve conflict with an applicable air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. Due to these significant unavoidable adverse impacts, certification of this EIR requires approval of a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) that determines the project’s economic, legal, social, and/or technological benefits would outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, and the adverse impacts may be considered acceptable.

The Final EIR evaluated two Alternatives to the proposed project to determine if the alternatives could feasibly meet most of the project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening significant project impacts. The Alternatives considered were the No Project Alternative and Reduced Project Alternative. Based on the analysis provided in the Draft Program EIR, the No Project Alternative was determined not to meet project objectives. The Reduced Project Alternative (reduce the development intensity by 10 percent) would reduce but not eliminate significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality and noise compared to the proposed Specific Plan. The Specific Plan’s significant and unavoidable GHG impact would be eliminated under this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, population and housing, public series, recreation, transportation, and utilities and service systems would remain the same as or slightly reduced compared to the Specific Plan. The reduced intensity alternative would meet the Specific Plan’s objectives, but not fully implement the potential of the Specific Plan and leaving out much needed opportunities for additional housing and services for both the Century Villages at Cabrillo community and the unhoused population of the Long Beach metropolitan area.

No adverse changes to the character of the area, such as destruction of existing culturally significant buildings or structures, or the physical division of an established community, are permitted, contemplated, or expected. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines and development standards necessary to produce high-quality development to protect the cohesion of the existing residential community, and to ensure that redevelopment of antiquated building stock and available land be compatible with the overall campus. All new development will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis following the adoption of this Specific Plan and will be conditioned to be of the appropriate size, scale, massing, and intensity in conformance to the Specific Plan and its goals and objectives.

App No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

2. THE PROPOSED CHANGE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND PROVISIONS OF THE GENERAL PLAN.

Positive Finding: Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan conforms to the general goals, policies, and designations of the City’s General Plan Land Use Element (LUE), adopted by the City Council in 2019. The plan area is located within page 14 of the Land Use Element Map. The PlaceType of the Plan Area pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map is Regional Serving Facility (RSF). RSF’s are those facilities, businesses and operations that not only serve the City, but also the region. Public-serving uses, such as the Century Villages at Cabrillo Plan Area, are consistent with the uses allowed by the LUE.

The LUE’s land use district, called “PlaceType,” for the Plan Area is RegionalServing (RSF) Facility. The Regional-Serving Facility (RSF) PlaceType is intended for land uses serving not only the City of Long Beach, but also facilities, businesses and operations meeting regional needs. Public-serving uses, such as the Century Villages at Cabrillo Plan Area, are consistent with the uses allowed by the LUE.

The Specific Plan also advances Land Use Element goals, strategies and policies, including
• Goal No. 1: Implement Sustainable Planning and Development Practices.

The Specific Plan does this by promoting sustainable urban development patterns with more compact walkable environments, flexibility to grow, and use of green building requirements for new developments, as well as complete streets and non-auto-oriented mobility strategies. Urban design strategies in the Specific Plan include improving connectivity by standardizing streets, connecting walkway and bicycle networks, and extending the transit system. Buildings will be developed with multiple functions to sustain growth and change in a built-out neighborhood. • Goal No. 3: Accommodate Strategic Growth and Change. The existing adaptive reuse of the former naval housing facilities has become antiquated. The Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan will promote regional-serving uses, create new transit-oriented development, and promote infill and redevelopment to support transit. Implementation of the Specific Plan allows for high density residential uses near transit stations.

The existing on-site Transit Center provides residents access to bus routes that begin and end in the Plan Area. The Specific Plan also provides guidance to allow various neighborhood serving uses with flexibility to adapt to the evolving needs of the community.

Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan
App No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

• Goal No. 5: Diversify Housing Opportunities. Allow a variety of housing types, encourage housing opportunities, services and amenities for all income levels, age groups and household types, establish clear rules and locations for special housing types, such as congregate care, assisted living, senior housing and housing with supportive services. The Specific Plan supports a unique housing community that provides a variety of housing opportunities to veteran and non-veteran individuals, families, youth, and children. The Plan Area provides a robust continuum of supportive housing, ranging from shelter, to transitional housing, to permanent housing.

Further, the Specific Plan conforms to and furthers the goals of the General Plan’s Urban Design Element, by requiring high-quality development, sustainable design, and serious architecture, as well as creating complete streets and a pedestrian- and bike-friendly mobility environment.

The Specific Plan also conforms to the General Plan’s Mobility Element through its plan for mobility systems that are planned, maintained and operated consistent with the principle of complete streets, active living, and sustainable community design. The Specific Plan also will guide the enhancement of existing streets into “complete streets” that are friendly to all users, whether bike, bus, or pedestrians, in addition to automobile users. Goal No. 1 of the Mobility Element is to create and efficient, balanced, multimodal mobility network; this includes establishing a network of complete streets, reconfiguring existing streets to emphasize modal priorities, strategically improving circulation, reducing the environmental impacts of the transportation system, and managing the supply of parking, all of which are achieved through the Specific Plan’s development standards and guidelines.

Furthermore, the vision for the future of the City’s transportation system includes, flexible, convenient, affordable, and energy-efficient transportation options, mobility practices that maintain and enhance safety while strengthening community, sense of place, urban design and the natural environment, and land use planning integrated with a multimodal mobility network, providing people with options to choose various forms of convenient transportation. The Specific Plan is consistent with the overall goals of the Mobility Element including the associated addendums comprised of the Green TI Plan for the Terminal Island Freeway, Bicycle Master Plan and CX3 Pedestrian Plan.

The Specific Plan conforms to the City’s Housing Element in planning for present and future housing needs, including strategies and programs to improve development regulations and accommodate future growth targets for housing affordable to all household income levels. The Specific Plan promotes redevelopment of antiquated structures and underutilized areas for a mix of development, which would provide quality dwelling units for residents in need Zone Change Findings
Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan
App No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

while hosting modern spaces for current and new social service providers, commercial uses, and community amenities.

The Specific Plan also advances Housing Element goals, strategies and policies, including:
• Goal No. 1: Provide increased opportunities for the construction of high quality housing. Allow policies that facilitate the development of affordable housing by streamlining the approval process for projects with substantial levels of affordable housing, encourage residential development along transit corridors, establish and maintain partnerships with nonprofit organizations, affordable housing builders, and for-profit developers, to provide greater access to affordable housing funds. The Specific Plan will streamline opportunities for affordable development by providing flexible guidelines that support the construction of new housing units in a transit rich environment.
• Goal No. 2: Mitigate government constraints to housing investment and affordability. Examine existing land use policies and regulations that impact housing construction, standardize review policies to streamline permitting, and provide for timely and coordinated processing of development projects and associated environmental clearances to minimize project-holding costs. The implementation of the Specific Plan will address existing land use and processing constraints to streamlining affordable housing that exist with the PD-31, Sub-area D zoning designation.
• Goal No. 3: Provide housing assistance and preserve publicly assisted units. The Century Villages at Cabrillo campus is a 100% affordable residential community that provides supportive services to residents. The implementation of the Specific Plan will preserve the existing affordable housing units and provide the opportunity to increase the number of affordable housing units in the Plan Area.
• Goal No. 4: Address the unique housing needs of special needs residents.

The Century Villages at Cabrillo campus currently provides affordable housing for special needs residents. The implementation of the Specific Plan will provide additional opportunities to increase housing to special needs residents. The Plan Area provides a variety of housing opportunities with continuum of supportive housing, ranging from shelter, to transitional housing, to permanent housing.
• Goal No. 5: Retain and improve the quality of existing housing and neighborhoods. Encourage place-based strategies for neighborhood planning and improvements that incorporate biking, pedestrian, and public Zone Change Findings
Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan
App No. 1709-11, ZCHG22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

transit connections. The implementation of the Specific Plan will include sustainable design strategies that include green building practices for new development, residential units near public transit stations, and improved connectivity by standardizing streets, connecting walkway and bicycle networks. The implementation of the Specific Plan will improve the quality of existing housing that may be antiquated as well as bring quality of life improvements to the neighborhood.
• Goal No. 6: Ensure fair and equal housing opportunity. The Specific Plan does not provide for market rate housing. The Century Villages at Cabrillo campus is dedicated to providing housing and supportive services to vulnerable communities including, but not limited to, veterans, special needs individuals, and seniors. The Specific Plan embraces the goal of providing fair and equal housing opportunities to the community it serves.

The Specific Plan area is not within the Coastal Zone, does not contain a scenic route or highway, and does not contain significant mineral resources, therefore the Coastal Element, Scenic Routes Element and Conservation Element do not apply.

3. IF THE PROPOSED CHANGE IS A REZONING OF AN EXISTING MOBILE HOME PARK, THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 21.25.109 HAVE BEEN OR WILL BE FULLY MET.

Not Applicable: The proposed change does not involve the rezoning of an existing mobile home park.

2. THE AMENDMENT WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CHARACTER,

LIVABILITY OR APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY, AND IS IN

CONFORMITY WITH PUBLIC NECESSITY, CONVENIENCE, GENERAL
WELFARE, AND GOOD PLANNING PRACTICE.

Positive Finding: The proposed Specific Plan is the result of a considerable community engagement process. An extensive outreach process spanning three years was launched that included engaging residents, service providers and administrators through over a dozen meetings, workshops, and community events.

Multiple surveys were also distributed to gauge resident opinion on general and specific subject matters related to the Plan Area update. The Plan Area encompasses a portion of the former Naval Housing facilities (27-acres) located west of the Terminal Island Freeway, east and south of Cabrillo High School, and north of Technology Way.

The proposed Specific Plan is a master plan of a residential community that includes emergency, bridge/transitional and permanent housing with supportive services. The Specific Plan includes principals and goals to guide future development, programming and improvements that will occur in the Plan Area.

These objectives will support the Specific Plan’s goals to support the current and future needs, challenges and opportunities for the area, guide redevelopment of antiquated building stock and available land, streamline the review and approval process for future phases of development, and provide certainty for government agencies, property owners, and developers.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the project, identifying potentially significant effects. A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project, analyzing the following environmental effects: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Zoning Code Amendment Findings
Century Villages at Cabrillo Specific Plan
App No. 1709-11, ZCA22-002
September 1, 2022 (Planning Commission)

Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems. The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review period between June 18, 2021 and August 2, 2021. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which is included in the Final EIR, is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project buildout. While mitigation measures have been proposed to reduce the level of environmental impacts, the Final EIR identified certain impacts that would remain significant, unavoidable, and adverse even after all feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. These environmental impacts involve conflict with an applicable air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. Due to these significant unavoidable adverse impacts, certification of this EIR requires approval of a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) that determines the project’s economic, legal, social, and/or technological benefits would outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, and the adverse impacts may be considered acceptable.

The Final EIR evaluated two Alternatives to the proposed project to determine if the alternatives could feasibly meet most of the project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening significant project impacts. The Alternatives considered were the No Project Alternative and Reduced Project Alternative. Based on the analysis provided in the Draft Program EIR, the No Project Alternative was determined not to meet project objectives. The Reduced Project Alternative (reduce the development intensity by 10 percent) would reduce but not eliminate significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality and noise compared to the proposed Specific Plan. The Specific Plan’s significant and unavoidable GHG impact would be eliminated under this alternative. Impacts related to aesthetics, cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, population and housing, public series, recreation, transportation, and utilities and service systems would remain the same as or slightly reduced compared to the Specific Plan. The reduced intensity alternative would meet the Specific Plan’s objectives, but not fully implement the potential of the Specific Plan and leaving out much needed opportunities for additional housing and services for both the Century Villages at Cabrillo community and the unhoused population of the Long Beach metropolitan area.

available land be compatible with the overall campus. All new development will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis following the adoption of this Specific Plan and will be conditioned to be of the appropriate size, scale, massing, and intensity in conformance to the Specific Plan and its goals and objectives.

1. Introduction

The responses to comments contain material and revisions that will be added to the text of the FEIR. City of Long Beach staff has reviewed this material and determined that none of this material constitutes the type of significant new information that requires recirculation of the DEIR for further public comment under CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. None of this new material indicates that the Project will result in a significant new environmental impact not previously disclosed in the DEIR. Additionally, none of this material indicates that there would be a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified environmental impact that will not be mitigated, or that there would be any of the other circumstances requiring recirculation described in Section 15088.5.

1.3 CEQA REQUIREMENTS REGARDING COMMENTS AND RESPONSES
CEQA Guidelines Section 15204 (a) outlines parameters for submitting comments, and reminds persons and public agencies that the focus of review and comment of DEIRs should be “on the sufficiency of the document in identifying and analyzing possible impacts on the environment and ways in which significant effects of the project might be avoided or mitigated. Comments are most helpful when they suggest additional specific alternatives or mitigation measures that would provide better ways to avoid or mitigate the significant environmental effects. At the same time, reviewers should be aware that the adequacy of an EIR is determined in terms of what is reasonably feasible. …CEQA does not require a lead agency to conduct every test or perform all research, study, and experimentation recommended or demanded by commenters. When responding to comments, lead agencies need only respond to significant environmental issues and do not need to provide all information requested by reviewers, as long as a good faith effort at full disclosure is made in the EIR.”
CEQA Guidelines Section 15204 (c) further advises, “Reviewers should explain the basis for their comments, and should submit data or references offering facts, reasonable assumptions based on facts, or expert opinion supported by facts in support of the comments. Pursuant to Section 15064, an effect shall not be considered significant in the absence of substantial evidence.” Section 15204 (d) also states, “Each responsible agency and trustee agency shall focus its comments on environmental information germane to that agency’s statutory responsibility.” Section 15204 (e) states, “This section shall not be used to restrict the ability of reviewers to comment on the general adequacy of a document or of the lead agency to reject comments not focused as recommended by this section.”
In accordance with CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21092.5, copies of the written responses to public agencies will be forwarded to those agencies at least 10 days prior to certifying the environmental impact report.

The responses will be forwarded with copies of this FEIR, as permitted by CEQA, and will conform to the legal standards established for response to comments on DEIRs.

A1. Response to Comments from City of Long Beach Energy Resources Department, Jane Hermsen, Senior Mechanical Engineer, dated June 30, 2021.

A1-1 The commenter states that the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) makes reference to the City of Long Beach Energy Resources Department’s (LBERD’s) old department name, Gas & Oil, and also makes reference to SoCalGas. For consistency, the commenter recommends that the most recent department name be incorporated throughout the DEIR to reflect the most current information (see also comments A1-2 through A1-11). In response to this comment, various sections of the DEIR have been revised accordingly. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-2 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 3-29 of the DEIR. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-3 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 4-8 of the DEIR. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-4 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 5.4-1 of the DEIR. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-5 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 5.4-8 of the DEIR. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-6 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 5.4-13 of the DEIR.

The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-7 The commenter requested clarification on who performed the technical analysis for impacts to the natural gas system and where that analysis can be found. PlaceWorks performed the analysis, and it can be found in Sections 5.4, Energy, and 5.16, Utilities and Service Systems, of the DEIR.

A1-8 The comment states that the regulatory agency that oversees natural gas is a federal agency.

The comment is noted. No response is necessary.

A1-9 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 5.16-28 of the DEIR.

The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

2. Response to Comments

A1-10 In response to this comment, the text has been corrected on page 5.16-31 of the DEIR.

The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

The natural gas demand calculations and analysis provided in the Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy sections of the DEIR were based on South Coast Air Quality Management District’s CalEEMod default generation numbers, which are overly conservative. Although the DEIR’s analysis is conservative, the actual demand would be much lower because the Project would only require natural gas for water broilers, in order to reduce the need for and dependance on natural gas and reduce any potential impact to LBERD’s natural gas infrastructure system serving the Project site. The Project Applicant has committed to using electric ranges on a go forward basis in all of the new buildings proposed; not using gas appliances in any of the supportive service/administrative spaces and buildings; and solely using gas to fire water boilers. It is anticipated that limiting the use of natural gas to only fire water boilers would not result in an impact to LBERD’s natural gas infrastructure system.

A1-11 In response to this comment, various sections of the DEIR have been revised accordingly.

The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A1-12 The commenter is requesting a model to ensure there is enough flow to meet the natural gas demand of the systems with existing pipeline infrastructure. As stated in response to Comment A1-10, the assumptions used to determine natural gas demand were overly conservative. The Project will limit the use of natural gas for water boilers only which will not result in an impact to LBERD’s natural gas infrastructure system.

A2. Response to Comments from Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, Mandy Ng, Environmental Planner, dated August 2, 2021.

A2-1 The commenter states that at Project completion, the expected increase in average wastewater flow from the Project site would be 105,021 gallons per day, and requested that this be reflected in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). In response to this comment, the updated wastewater generation number has been provided in Section

5.16, Utilities and Service Systems, of the DEIR and other sections of the DEIR where necessary. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A2-2 The commenter states that the incorrect water reclamation plant was mentioned in the DEIR. It was clarified that the wastewater generated by the proposed Project will be treated at the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant and not the Long Beach Water Reclamation Plant. In response to this comment, the correct plant name has been provided in Section 5.16, Utilities and Service Systems, of the DEIR and other sections of the DEIR where necessary. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A2-3 The commenter provided clarification on LACSD’s trunk sewer details and capacity serving the Project site. In response to this comment, the trunk sewer details and capacity has been provided in Section 5.16, Utilities and Service Systems, of the DEIR. The text revisions are described in more detail in Section 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR, of this FEIR.

A2-4 The commenter states that the wastewater generated by the Project site will be treated at the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant, which has adequate capacity. See response to Comment A2-2, above.

A2-5 The commenter provides a revised wastewater generation total for the Project. See response to Comment A2-1, above.

A2-6 The commenter states that LACSD charges a fee for the privilege of connecting (directly or indirectly) to LACSD’s sewerage system for increasing the strength or quantity of wastewater discharged from connected facilities. Payment of a connection fee will be required before the Project is permitted to discharge to the LACSD’s sewerage system.

The comment is noted and the City will ensure through its development review process that the Project Applicant pays the necessary connection fee.

A2-7 The commenter states that the available capacity of LACSD’s treatment facilities is limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by the Southern California Association of Governments. Therefore, the comment letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise the developer that LACSD intends to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform the developer
