Landscape Area
Requirements
Applicability speaks
to landscaping
requirements that
multifamily uses
shall provide. The
Applicant must
maintain a minimum
of 15% of the site in
landscaped areas.
The Applicant
shows in the plans
the current
landscaping for the
project. However,
this project will
require a new
landscape plan that
meets the City’s
Water Efficient
Landscape
Ordinance (WELO),
so that has been
noted in the
resolution as
conditions #21 & 22.
Architecture and Design
The architecture is demonstrated in the elevation for this four-unit building in the attached plans as well as in the renderings. The proposed architecture is white stucco with brown/gray roof tiles. The windows have surrounds that define them a bit, and there will be a Mountain Ledge, Durango style, stacked stone-based veneer around the bottom of the building. The architectural interest shown in the project is minimal. However, the Applicant added randomly placed ornamental wrought iron window boxes to some front and side elevation windows.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Project with the conditions listed in the Resolution through this appeal. The proposed use complies with the Multiple Family Residential (R-3) Development Standards and the City's Land Use Element of the General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

DISCUSSION
Since approval of the plan to move forward in the creation of a Senior Services Master Plan, staff has identified and selected Gero Fusion as the consulting company to work with on the project. Staff met with Dr. Laura Zettel-Watson and Dr. Melanie Mallers of California State University Fullerton and Gero Fusion to establish goals of the project, determine focus groups and a general timeline as follows:
1. Identify key questions and focus groups – January through March 2024

4. Data collection utilizing focus groups – May through July 2024
5. Preliminary findings – late October through early November 2024 The goal for the Senior Services Master Plan is to be completed by December 2024.
This plan involves the entire City of Los Alamitos team with all Departments involved throughout the development or execution of the plan. It provides a unique opportunity for teamwork in satisfying the needs of current and future senior programs. Support from additional Departments within the City of Los Alamitos includes:
• Los Alamitos Police Department – guidance on the safety of seniors in the City of Los Alamitos, assisting in identifying Los Alamitos seniors living in isolation or those in need of additional resources
• Finance Department – identifying additional funding sources for future programs or infrastructure, assisting with contracts and vendors
• Development Services – identifying infrastructure opportunities and Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), including maintenance of existing and future facilities to support expanded senior services and programs
• Human Resources – assisting in the recruitment and hiring of qualified staff to work directly with the senior population and in senior programming • City Clerk/Director of Communications – assisting with communication and outreach efforts for the Senior Services Master Plan to obtain community feedback and outreach in executed future programming
The Los Alamitos City Council is invited to participate throughout the process along with the community through the outreach efforts in data collection in an individual needs assessment survey. Additionally, a designated representative from the body is requested to serve as a City Council representative to the Senior Advisory Advocate Committee for the project. The oneyear committee will be made up of additional members of the senior community and those who serve this population, along with a member of the Los Alamitos Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Commission, who at their regular meeting on January 10, 2024, selected Commissioner Janet Gallagher to be the representative. The role of the Senior Advisory Advocate is to guide the Senior Services Master Plan team on senior-related issues facing Los Alamitos residents, provide suggestions on outreach and collaboration opportunities, focus groups, and other items related to the development of the Senior Services Master Plan.
