THERETO
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the Southeast Area Specific Plan (SEASP) and formally recommended the Specific Plan to the City Council for adoption.

mobility options the public had expressed a desire for and which were mandated under the City’s Mobility Element, as well as State law; and
WHEREAS, in connection with adoption of the SEASP, the City, as lead agency, prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the SEASP (State Clearinghouse No. 2015101075) (SEASP PEIR) in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, which provides for the preparation of a PEIR “[i]n connection with issuance of rules, regulations, plans, or other general criteria to govern the conduct of a continuing program.” The City Council certified the SEASP PEIR in September 2017 when it adopted the SEASP; copies of which SEASP PEIR, are accessible at the links included in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full, word for word;
WHEREAS, on October 8, 2020, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) held a hearing for the Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA No. 1-19 [LCP-5-LOB- 19-0008-1]) related to the City Council’s adoption of SEASP and CCC recommended certification of the Local Coastal Program Amendment with required modifications; WHEREAS, on July 13, 2021, the City Council of the City of Long Beach adopted the modifications proposed by the CCC, determined that the changes to the SEASP from the CCC were not significant and were within the scope of the SEASP PEIR and recertified the SEASP PEIR;
WHEREAS, where appropriate, the mitigation measures to the SEASP PEIR require preparation of specific additional studies and analyses to determine whether an individual project would result in project-specific new or increased significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site;
WHEREAS, the proposed Marketplace Project (Project) located at 6615, 6621, and 6695 East Pacific Coast Highway in the City of Long Beach is an L-shaped site comprised of three (3) parcels located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Studebaker Road in the southeast portion of the City of Long

Beach. The project would consist of the demolition of two (2) existing office buildings on the site, and the construction of a new six-story mixed-use project consisting of 390 residential dwelling units (seventeen (17) of which are affordable units at the very low income level), 5,531 square feet of commercial/retail space in a building with 576 vehicular parking spaces, 196 bicycle parking spaces, and 45,141 square feet of public and private open space area within the Mixed-Use Community Core designation of the SEASP. The Project site is within the boundaries of the SEASP, and, as set forth below, is consistent with the SEASP;
WHEREAS, the California Density Bonus Law (California Government Code Section 65915 et seq.) allows developers to seek increases in base density in exchange for providing affordable housing units on site. To help make constructing on- site affordable units feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives, concessions and waivers to ensure the project could be built without significant burden and without detriment to public health;
WHEREAS, this Project proposes seventeen (17) very-low income affordable units which qualifies the Project for a twenty (20) percent increase in the number of market rate units within the project. The seventeen (17) affordable units will be provided at the very-low-income level, restricted as affordable through a covenant for a minimum of 55 years, as required by the California State Density Bonus Law. Based on the percentage of affordable units proposed by the Project, the California Density Bonus Law permits one incentive or concession, in addition to any necessary waivers, reductions or modifications to development standards and other regulations where those requirements could make the construction of the proposed Project with the contemplated incentive physically infeasible if not approved. The Density Bonus incentive requested for this Project relates to building massing and would allow the proposed Project to include one building in lieu of multiple buildings encouraged by the SEASP. The requested four (4) waivers relate to the massing incentive and include: (1) building height (maximum height of 91-feet 81/2 inches to allow for the sixth floor and rooftop amenities); (2)

building stories (exceed the building height requirements along Pacific Coast Highway which is limited to five (5) stories) and Shopkeeper Road (which is limited to three (3) stories for the first 30 feet); (3) Building story requirements along Shopkeeper Road Fronting Wetlands (allow six (6) stories within the 30 feet adjacent to Shopkeeper Road fronting the wetlands whereas the SEASP limits heights to three (3) stories at the first 30 feet); and (4) a variety of height allowances to allow the project to include buildings at maximum heights;
WHEREAS, on July 20, 2023, the Long Beach Planning Commission took the following actions: determined that the Project is within the scope of and consistent with the previously certified SEASP PEIR and approved the Compliance Checklist (PECC 03-23) evidencing consistency with the SEASP PEIR; approved the Site Plan Review application (SPR22-082); approved the Lot Line Adjustment (LLA22-002); approve a lot merger request (LMG22-012); and approve a Local Coastal Development Permit (LCDP22-049) for all discretionary and subdivision actions required for the proposed Project;
WHEREAS, within the 10-day post-hearing appeal period, (1) Lozeau Drury LLP, on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) (APL12- 011); (2) Elizabeth Lambe on behalf of the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust (LCWLT) (APL23-012); and (3) Ann Cantrell and Anna Christensen on behalf of the Sierra Club Los Cerritos Wetlands Task Force (APL23-014), filed appeals of the Planning Commission’s action, copies of which appeals were appended to the staff report provided to the City Council for its review and consideration;
WHEREAS, the Planning Bureau of the Department of Development Services has undertaken review of the Project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 through the use of the Compliance Checklist (PECC 03-23) attached to the staff report as Attachment K, and incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full, word for word The Compliance Checklist (PECC 03-23) has been provided to the City Council for its evaluation and consideration to determine whether there are

project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the Project or the project site that would require still further environmental analysis; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA, the City serves as the “lead agency” with respect to the Project in connection with the subject City actions.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council resolves as follows:

Section 1. The City Council: (a) has considered the SEASP PEIR analysis as prepared by City staff, and other pertinent evidence in the record, including the Compliance Checklist (PECC 03-23) studies, reports, and other information from qualified experts (collectively the “Environmental Documents”), (b) has considered the environmental effects of the Project as set forth in the Environmental Documents, and (c) makes the following findings:

A) The City independently reviewed and analyzed the Environmental Documents and finds that they reflect the independent judgment of the City.

B) The SEASP was adopted as a zoning ordinance and is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

C) The City previously certified the SEASP PEIR for the SEASP.

D) The Project is consistent with the provisions and requirements of the SEASP.

E) All applicable feasible mitigation measures from the SEASP PEIR will be imposed on and be undertaken as part of the Project, in the form of mitigation measures, regulatory compliance measures, project design features, and/or conditions of approval, as set forth in the Environmental Documents in addition to mitigation by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or regulatory standards appliable to the project.

F) Based on substantial evidence in the Environmental Documents and elsewhere in the record, including but not to limited to oral and written testimony provided at the public hearings on the matter, there are no environmental effects of the Project that: (1) are project-specific impacts

peculiar to the Project or its site; (2) were not analyzed as significant effects in the SEASP PEIR; (3) are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the SEASP PEIR; or (4) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the SEASP PEIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the SEASP PEIR.

G) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15183, no further CEQA review or additional environmental studies are required for the Project.

H) None of the information submitted by the Appellants, including the Appeals and testimony by the Appellants and their representatives at the public hearings on the Project, constitutes significant new information. The City Council has carefully considered the information and testimony provided at the public hearing and does not find it to be credible evidence of a significant new environmental impact, a substantial increase in the severity of an impact previously disclosed in the SEASP PEIR, or otherwise requiring additional CEQA review, including but not limited to the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15162 and 15163;
I) The City Council finds and declares that substantial evidence for every finding made herein is contained in the Environmental Documents, which are incorporated herein by this reference, and is in the record of proceedings in the matter.

J) Consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City Council adopts and imposes the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, which is incorporated herein by this reference, to mitigate or avoid significant effects of the Project on the environment and to ensure compliance during project implementation.

1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING

PROGRAM
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been developed to provide a vehicle to monitor mitigation measures and conditions of approval outlined in the Final Environmental Impact Report.

The MMRP has been prepared in conformance with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code and City of Long Beach monitoring requirements. Section 21081.6 states:
(a) When making the findings required by paragraph (1) of subdivision subsection (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a mitigated negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21080, the following requirements shall apply:
(1) The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of a responsible agency or a public agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead agency or a responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program. (2) The lead agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based. (b) A public agency shall provide that measures to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment are fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures.

Conditions of project approval may be set forth in referenced documents which address required mitigation measures or, in the case of the adoption of a plan, policy, regulation, or other public project, by incorporating the mitigation measures into the plan, policy, regulation, or project design.
(c) Prior to the close of the public review period for a draft environmental impact report or mitigated negative declaration, a responsible agency, or a public agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by the project, shall either submit to the lead agency complete and detailed performance objectives for mitigation measures which would address the significant effects on the environment identified by the responsible agency or agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by the project, or refer the lead agency to appropriate, readily available guidelines or reference documents.

submitted to a lead agency by a responsible agency or an agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by the project shall be limited to measures which mitigate impacts to resources which are subject to the statutory authority of, and definitions applicable to, that agency. Compliance or noncompliance by a responsible agency or agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by a project with that requirement shall not limit the authority of the responsible agency or agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by a project, or the authority of the lead agency, to approve, condition, or deny projects as provided by this division or any other provision of law.

The MMRP will serve to document compliance with adopted/certified mitigation measures that are formulated to minimize impacts associated with future development that would be accommodated by the Southeast Area Specific Plan.

1.2 PROJECT SUMMARY
The Project consists of a specific plan, general plan amendment, zoning ordinance amendment, and LCP amendment to shape the land use and development on 1,481 acres. The Project consists of two components:
1) the Southeast Area Specific Plan (SEASP; Specific Plan) covering 1,472 acres and 2) the conventional zoning area covering 9 acres. The conventional zoning area is described starting on Page 3-21 of this section.

Both of these areas constitute the “project” for purposes of CEQA, but are described separately below.

Southeast Area Specific Plan
The Southeast Area Specific Plan consists of 1,472 acres and includes 1,372 acres currently zoned “PD-1, SEADIP ,” 94 acres of the San Gabriel River and Los Cerritos Channel, and 6 acres along the southeast edge of the current PD-1 boundary. This 6-acre area is the result of a boundary adjustment between Los Angeles and Orange County that was approved by the local area formation commission in 2012, but never updated in PD-1. The proposed Specific Plan would replace the 1977 Southeast Area Development Improvement Plan (PD-1).

Land use designations would include: Single Family Residential, Multi-Family Residential, Mobile Homes, Commercial-Neighborhood, Mixed Use Community Core, Mixed Use Marina, Industrial, Public, Open Space and Recreation, Coastal Habitat/Wetlands/Recreation, Channel/Marina/Waterway, Right-of-Way /Caltrans, and Dedicated Right-of-Way (not built).

Land use statistics are provided in Table 1-1. Buildout of the Specific Plan as revised under the Reduced Intensity Alternative would allow a total of 6,663 dwelling units, 2,398,547 square feet of commercial/employment uses, and 375 hotel rooms.

1. The PD-1 boundary does not include portions of the San Gabriel River and the Los Cerritos Channel totaling 94 acres and 6 acres resulting from a County boundary adjustment approved by LAFCO.

2. The Project area consists of a total of 1,481 acres: 1) 1,472 acres within the proposed Specific Plan, which includes the 94 acres of waterways and 6 acres along the southeast boundary; and 2) 9 acres in the conventional zoning area that were in the PD-1 boundary but removed from the Specific Plan.

In addition to the required elements of the Specific Plan–such as, development standards, design guidelines– there are a number of project design features that have mitigating effects. Mobility improvements include enhanced roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian connectivity. SEASP Sections 7.2.2, Views, and 7.2.5, Special Edge Conditions, protect scenic views and require sensitive design adjacent to wetlands, marinas, and waterways.

SEASP Section 7.3.14, Bird-Safe Treatments, reduces impacts related to birds by addressing the interface between the wetlands (as essential bird habitat) and urban uses. It establishes criteria for lighting, landscaping, and façade treatments to minimize light pollution in natural areas and bird strikes. The proposed Specific Plan also establishes a Wetland Conservation and Monitoring Fund (SEASP Section 5.9) to preserve and restore wetlands and requires wetland buffers for development adjacent to wetlands (SEASP Section 5.10).

Conventional Zoning Area
The remaining nine acres of land in the Project area directly west of the Marina Vista Park are proposed to be extracted from the PD-1 zoning designation and converted to conventional zoning. This area would not be included in the proposed Specific Plan. Existing land uses in this area include single-family homes and a fire station. The proposed land use for this area was determined based on existing conditions and would be designated single-family residential. No new development is intended for this area, and no physical change (e.g., additional development intensity or redevelopment) is expected to occur; all existing uses within this area are expected to remain.

A conventional zoning designation (R-1-N, single family residential) was chosen to be consistent with the existing residential development. No new development is intended in this area. Given that the existing intensity of development is not expected to change, buildout projections for the nine-acre conventional zoning area assume no change in number of dwelling units or population. Buildout projections for the area are shown in Table 1-2.

1.3 PROJECT LOCATION
The Project area is on the southeast edge of the City of Long Beach, California, within Los Angeles County and bordering Orange County. The area encompasses 1,481 acres and consists of the area south of 7th Street, east of Bellflower Boulevard, east of the Long Beach Marine Stadium and Alamitos Bay docks, south of Colorado Street, and north and west of Long Beach’s southern boundary. The Los Cerritos Channel and San Gabriel River run through the Project area toward the Alamitos Bay and Pacific Ocean and are included as part of the Project area.

Regional access to the Project area is provided by Interstate 405 (I-405) and I-605. I-405 runs east-west, and the I-605 runs north-south near the northeastern portion of the Project area. Also, State Route 22 (SR-22) intersects with I-605 and runs east-west into the northeast portion of the Project area, and terminates as 7th Street along the Project’s northern boundary.

1.4 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
CEQA requires that a reporting or monitoring program be adopted for the conditions of project approval that are necessary to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment (Public Resources Code 21081.6). The mitigation monitoring and reporting program is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project implementation. For each mitigation measure recommended in the DEIR, specifications are made herein that identify the action required and the monitoring and reporting that must occur. In addition, a responsible agency is identified for verifying compliance with individual conditions of approval contained in the MMRP . To effectively track and document the status of mitigation measures, a mitigation matrix has been prepared (see Table 1-3).

A note shall be provided on development plans indicating that throughout grading, demolition, and construction, the property owner/developer shall be responsible for requiring contractors to implement the following measures to limit construction- related noise:

During all excavation and grading on-site, the construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturers’ standards.

The construction contractor shall place all stationary
construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from sensitive receptors (wildlife) nearest the project site.

The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive
receptors (wildlife) during all project construction.

No construction shall occur within 500 feet of nesting raptors or threatened or endangered species and 100 feet of all other nesting birds protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

BIO-8 If construction is proposed between January 15 to September 1st, a qualified biologist must conduct a nesting bird survey(s) no more than three days prior to initiation of construction activities to document the presence or absence of nesting birds in or adjacent to the project site.

The preconstruction survey(s) will focus on identifying any raptors and/or passerines nests that may be directly or indirectly affected by construction activities. Any nest permanently vacated for the season would not warrant protection pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

If active nests are documented, the following measures are required:

Species-specific measures shall be prepared by a qualified biologist and implemented to prevent abandonment of the active nest. At a minimum, grading in the vicinity of a nest shall be postponed until the young birds have fledged. A minimum exclusion buffer of 100 feet shall be maintained during construction, depending on the species and location.

The perimeter of the nest setback zone shall be fenced or adequately demarcated with stakes and flagging at 20-foot intervals, and construction personnel and activities are restricted from the area.

A survey report by a qualified biologist verifying that no active nests are present, or that the young have fledged, shall be submitted to the Long Beach Development Services Department prior to initiation of grading in the nest-setback zone. The qualified biologist shall serve as a biological monitor during those periods when construction activities occur near active nest areas to ensure that no inadvertent impacts on these nests occur.

A final report of the findings, prepared by a qualified biologist, shall be submitted to the Long Beach Development Services Department prior to construction-related activities that have the potential to disturb any active nests during the nesting season.

5.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
CUL-1 Future development or redevelopment projects on or near buildings or structures 45 years of age or older shall require an intensive-level historical evaluation. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project applicant/developer shall prepare the evaluation in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local guidelines for evaluating historical resources. If, based on the evaluation of the property, it is determined that the proposed development or redevelopment project will have a substantial adverse effect on a historical resource (i.e., it would reduce its integrity to the point that it would no longer be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources or in the list of Long Beach Landmarks), then the provisions of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 shall be implemented by the property owner or project
applicant/developer to eliminate or reduce the project’s impact on historical resources.

CUL-3 Prior to the issuance of grading permits, and for any subsequent permit involving excavation to increased depth, the project applicant for each development or redevelopment project considered for approval pursuant to the Southeast Area Specific Plan shall provide letters to the City of Long Beach from a qualified archaeologist and paleontologist (for excavations five feet below ground surface and deeper) who meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards.

The letters shall state that the project applicant has retained these individuals, and that the archaeological consultant will be present during all grading in previously undisturbed areas and other significant ground-disturbing activities and that the paleontological consultant will be present during all grading that occurs below 5 feet from the ground surface. In the event archeological or paleontological resources are discovered during ground-disturbing activities, the professional archeological or paleontological monitor shall have the authority to halt any activities adversely impacting potentially significant cultural resources until they can be formally evaluated. Suspension of ground disturbances in the vicinity of the discoveries shall not be lifted until the archaeological and/or paleontological monitor, in coordination with the construction contractor, has evaluated discoveries to assess whether they are significant cultural resources, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If significance criteria are met, then the project shall be required to perform data recovery, professional identification, radiocarbon dates as applicable, and other special studies. The resources shall be offered for curation or preservation to a repository with a retrievable collection system and an educational and research interest in the materials, such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History or California State University, Fullerton, or other local museum or repository. If no museum or repository is willing to accept the resource, the resource shall be considered the property of the City and may be stored, disposed of, transferred, exchanged, or otherwise handled by the City at its discretion.

CUL-4 At least 30 days prior to ground disturbance by each project development or redevelopment in conformance with the Specific Plan, the City of Long Beach would notify the three Native American tribal representatives who requested Native American monitoring of ground- disturbing activities (Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation, Gabrieleño/Tongva Band of Mission Indians, and Juaneño Band of Mission Indians Acjachemen Nation). For each project, the project applicant would retain one certified Native American monitor who would accompany the professional archaeological monitor during on-call monitoring. The Native American monitor would have the same authority to halt activities that could adversely impact archaeological or tribal cultural resources that the professional archaeological monitor would. The Native American monitor would recommend measures to avoid, preserve, and/or recover Native American archaeological and/or tribal cultural resources, as practicable, and would convey such resources to the pertinent tribe or most likely descendant, as applicable.

The established procedures under AB 1600 require that a "reasonable relationship" or nexus exist between the traffic improvements and facilities required to mitigate the traffic impacts of new development pursuant to the proposed Project.

Traffic improvements and facilities necessary to mitigate the Project impacts shall be included, among other improvements, in the AB 1600 nexus study. The City’s fee program shall be updated based on the nexus study. Fees are assessed when there is new construction, an increase in square footage in an existing building, or the conversion of existing square footage to a more intensive use. The development fees collected are applied toward circulation improvements and right-of-way acquisition.

Fees are calculated by multiplying the proposed square footage, dwelling unit, or hotel room by the appropriate rate. Traffic mitigation fees are included with any other applicable fees payable at the time the building permit is issued. The City will use the traffic mitigation fees to fund construction (or to recoup fees advanced to fund construction) of the transportation improvements identified in Mitigation Measure TRAF-3.

TRAF-2 As part of the subsequent environmental review for development projects that would be accommodated by the SEASP, a site-specific traffic study shall be prepared by the project applicant/developer to evaluate the project’s potential traffic and transportation impacts consistent with the City of Long Beach Guidelines for Signalized Intersections and the Los Angeles County CMP Guidelines to identify specific improvements, as deemed necessary, to provide safe and efficient onsite circulation and access, and limit cut through traffic on adjacent neighborhoods. The traffic study for the first development project to be considered under the SEASP shall include an analysis of signal timing of 2nd Street through Naples to identify timing adjustments needed to improve signal synchronization.

The traffic study shall be approved by the Public Works Department.

Payment of fees, construction of improvements, and signal timing shall be implemented prior to issuance of a building permit.

TRAF-3 Prior to issuance of building permits for development projects that would be accommodated by the SEASP, project applicants/developers shall make fair-share payments to the City of Long Beach toward construction of the traffic improvements listed below. The following traffic improvements and facilities are necessary to mitigate impacts of the SEASP and shall be included in the City’s fee mechanism(s):

Existing With Project Improvements
Studebaker Road & SR-22 Westbound Ramps: Construct a spiral striped roundabout with two circulating lanes, with a southbound slip (bypass) lane. The southbound approach would be striped with two through lanes and one shared through-left turn lane; the westbound approach would have two left turn lanes and one right turn slip lane; and the northbound approach would have two through lanes and one right turn slip lane. This measure would be funded through the City of Long Beach Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and fair-share contributions from area developments.

3. Studebaker Road & SR-22 Westbound Ramps: Construct a spiral striped roundabout with two circulating lanes, with a southbound slip (bypass) lane. The southbound approach would be striped with two through lanes and one shared through-left turn lane; the westbound approach would have two left turn lanes and one right turn slip lane; and the northbound approach would have two through lanes and one right turn slip lane. This measure would be funded through the City of Long Beach Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and fair-share contributions from area developments. Alternatively, the intersection could remain signalized with the following improvements:

Modify the westbound approach from two left turn lanes and one right turn lane, to three left turn lanes and one right turn lane.

Modify the southbound approach from one left turn lane and one through lane, to one left turn lane and three through lanes.

Optimize the AM and PM signal cycle lengths and splits.

17. Shopkeeper Road & 2nd Street: This intersection would require the following improvements:

Modify the northbound approach from one shared through- left turn lane and one right turn lane, to one shared through- left turn lane and two right turn lanes.
