and 2.1.3, Parking, for parking concerns. Refer to Response to Comment 17-73 for population impacts.
17-75 The commenter expresses concerns with the strain on Seal Beach public services from the new development due to traffic accidents, pedestrian related issues, traffic issues. As discussed in Section 4.13, Public Services, of the Draft EIR, fire protection services for the Project site is currently provided by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and police protection service is provided by the Los Alamitos Police Department (refer to Page 4.13-1 and 4.13-2 of the Draft EIR). Refer also to Master Response 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, for roadway safety concerns and 2.1.8, Public Safety, for concerns related to public services. 17-76 The commenter expresses concerns with the increased use of parks and the increased need for maintenance of park equipment. Refer to Response to Comment 17-11 for impacts to existing parks.
17-77 The commenter expresses concerns with road impacts from heavy equipment usage. The Project would be required to comply with all applicable local regulations related to vehicle weight limits. If the Project requires the use of an oversize vehicle in excess of the eight, width, height or length permitted by the Vehicle Code, a permit shall be obtained from the City of Seal Beach in accordance with the City of Seal Beach Municipal Code 8.10.135, Movement of Oversize Vehicles. Additionally, the Project Applicant would be required to pay development impact or connection fees, as applicable or required, to the City of Seal Beach, as agreed upon, prior to Project approval for future infrastructure improvements. 17-78 The commenter expresses concerns with rodents due to more trash and litter caused by additional residents.

This comment is noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. However, it should be noted that, since these NOP comments were written prior to the preparation and release of the Draft EIR, the comment letters do not address the adequacy of the environmental analysis in the Draft EIR. Thus, no further response is required. 17-79 The commenter expresses concerns with overcrowded schools/libraries. As discussed in Section 4.13, Public Services, of the Draft EIR, the Project would be required to pay development impact fees to LAUSD under SB 50 for the construction of new schools, which provides full and complete mitigation to school facilities. Development impact fees currently charged by LAUSD for residential uses are $5.17 per sf. Although project buildout would result in an increase of 135 students, the availability of schools in the area and the payment of impact fees in compliance with SB 50 would address any potential impacts. Impacts from implementation of the Project on school services would be less than significant (refer to Pages

4.13-10 through 4.13-12 of the Draft EIR).

Project buildout would increase population onsite by an estimated 647 residents, thus increasing demand for other public facilities, such as library services. Increased demands are

Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

expected to most affect the library facilities closest to the Project site – that is the Los AlamitosRossmoor Library. According to the administrative manager of the OCPL, it is anticipated that the increase in residents may impact service. With the current renovations previously underway at the library, however, OCPL does not expect Project buildout to require construction of new or expanded physical library facilities, the construction of which could cause a substantial adverse impact. Although future Project residents would be mainly served by the Los Alamitos-Rossmoor Library, they would have access to all libraries within OCPL’s system.

Therefore, impacts to library services would be less than significant and no mitigation is required (refer to Page 4.13-12 of the Draft EIR).

17-110 The commenter expresses concerns with impacts to existing parks and proposed open space.

Refer to Response to Comment 17-11 for impacts to existing recreational facilities and Response to Comment 17-14 for responses regarding the Project’s proposed open space area. 17-111 The commenter expresses concerns with medical services and how the Project would impact the Los Alamitos hospital. The Project buildout would increase the population onsite by an estimated 647 residents, a small percentage of which are expected to need hospital services at any given time. This growth was anticipated in the Los Alamitos Housing Element Update.

There are six medical facilities and hospitals within a 5 mile radius of the Project site.

Therefore, it is not expected that the Project would impact the Alamitos Medical Center in such a way that it would require the construction of new or expanded medical facilities. Emergency medical services would be provided by OCFA. Per correspondence with the OCFA, there are currently no deficiencies in fire protection service provided to the Project site. OCFA has not indicated the need for a new fire station or expansion of existing facilities due to the Project.

The Project applicant must enter into the Secured Fire Protection Agreement which would ensure that responses times and service ratios are met due to the implementation of the Project and no new fire station facilities would be required (refer to Page 4.13-9 of the Draft EIR). 17-112 The commenter expresses concerns with the insufficient amount of youth camps, summer camps, and summer school activities available, and the increase in taxes.

As discussed in Section 4.1, Aesthetics, of the Draft EIR, the Project would redevelop the Project site with residential uses which would produce artificial light. The Project would be required to adhere to the light and glare requirements as set forth in the LAMC (Chapter 8.48 - Lighting Performance Standards and Section 17.24.040 Light and Glare). Chapter 8.48 addresses the visual impacts of exterior lighting on adjacent property owners and neighborhoods. The chapter outlines guidelines for the design, scale, location, and illumination level of lighting fixtures. The guidelines aim to reduce light trespass and prevent glare. Section 17.24.040 would require shielding of light sources to reduce impacts on surrounding land uses including sensitive receptors in College Park East. The City would confirm compliance with all applicable lighting requirements during future review of building permit applications/plans. Mandatory compliance with LAMC Chapter 8.48 and Section 17.24.040 would ensure that the Project would not introduce any permanent design features that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area (refer

Geotechnical Investigation (Technical Appendix F1 of the Draft EIR), which in turn would ensure measures are implemented to address potential impacts due to the exposure of people or structures to adverse effects, including loss, injury, or death as a result of strong seismic ground shaking liquefaction hazards, soil settlement and expansion. Implementation of the required mitigation would ensure that impacts are reduced to less-than-significant levels (refer to Page 4.6-16 of the Draft EIR).

As discussed in Section 4.9, Hydrology and Water Quality, of the Draft EIR, the Project would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff resulting in flooding on- or offsite (refer to Pages 4.9-22 through 4.9-23 of the Draft EIR). Project runoff would flow to the southwest corner (refer to Pages 4.9-18 through 4.9-20 of the Draft EIR) and would not impact the soccer fields.
17-154 The commenter expresses concerns with impacts to public services, specifically fire protection, police protection, libraries and parks. As discussed in Section 4.13, Public Services, of the Draft EIR, implementation of the Project would result in an increased requirement for public services. However, considering the existing resources available, the Project is not expected to result in the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impact. Impacts are less than significant (refer to Pages 4.13-8 through 4.13-12 of the Draft EIR). Increase in crime is not an environmental impact on the physical environment unless it leads to an increase in services or decrease in response times resulting in the need for construction of additional facilities. Refer also to Response to Comment in 17-62 regarding impacts to the police protection services. 17-155 The commenter recommends disapproval of the Project. This comment is noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. However, it should be noted that, since these NOP comments were written prior to the preparation and release of the Draft EIR, the comment letters do not address the adequacy of the environmental analysis in the Draft EIR. Thus, no further response is required.
17-156 The commenter states that the parking lot on Lampson at West Ed has a Caltrans park and ride and is concerned that the new development is missing the park and ride. The Commenter also states that the parking lot used to support Arbor Park and is concerned that the parking lot is not being kept for the community park. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, regarding parking concerns. As of the time of preparation of this Final EIR, the Park-n-Ride that previously occupied the Project site has not been in operation for the past 18 months and when in operation had limited usage. There are no requirements or proposal to provide a substitute park-and-ride location.

Refer to Response to Comments 17-18, 17-19, and 17-35 regarding impacts to wildlife and birds and corresponding mitigation measures. As discussed in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, the Project site is not located within or part of a wildlife movement corridor. The site is located within the Pacific flyway; however, given the small area of the site, lack of native habitats and levels of disturbance, there is no potential for significant impacts to the Pacific flyaway. The Project site is developed and is adjacent to developed areas that do not contribute to wildlife movement. Therefore, the Project would not substantially interfere with an established migratory wildlife corridor (refer to Page 4.3-33 through 4.3-34 of the Draft EIR).
17-160 The commenter expresses concerns with the origination of the water supply and loss of wetlands for migratory animals. Refer to Response to Comment 17-26 regarding water supply.

As discussed in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, the Project would not result in a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands during both construction and operational activities. No impact would occur and mitigation is not required.

The Project would be required to comply with existing laws including but not limited to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Department of Fish and Game Code Sections 3505, 3503.5, and 3800. Therefore, no impact would occur, and mitigation is not required with respect to wetland impacts (refer to Pages 4.3-32 through 4.3-34 of the Draft EIR).
17-161 The commenter expresses concerns with the Project site in close proximity to the military base and decrease in property values.

Refer to Response to Comment 17-73 for population growth.

As discussed in Section 4.1, Aesthetics, of the Draft EIR, the Project development would block the partial and distant views of the San Gabriel Mountains from Lampson Avenue along the project frontage. However, redevelopment of the Project site would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, because background views of the San Gabriel Mountains are distant and limited due to existing development and landscaping and the Project site is not considered to be part of a designated scenic vista. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant (refer to Pages 4.1-8 through 4.1-10 of the Draft EIR). 17-232 The commenter expresses concerns with traffic, noise, pollution, overcrowding, safety and quality of life for people and animals. Refer to Master Response 2.1.1, Transportation and Traffic Congestion, regarding traffic concerns. Refer to Response to Comment 17-40 regarding noise impacts.

As discussed in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, indirect (or secondary) impacts are those that are reasonably foreseeable and caused by a project but occur at a different time or place. Indirect impacts can occur at the urban/wildland interface of projects, to biological resources located downstream from projects, and other offsite areas where the effects of the project may be experienced by plants and wildlife. Examples of indirect impacts include the effects of increases in ambient levels of noise or light; predation by domestic pets; competition with exotic plants and animals; introduction of toxics, including pesticides; and other human disturbances such as hiking, off-road vehicle use, unauthorized dumping, etc.

Indirect impacts are often attributed to the subsequent day-to-day activities associated with project build-out, such as increased noise, the use of artificial light sources, and invasive ornamental plantings that may encroach into native areas. Indirect effects may be both shortterm and long-term in their duration. These impacts are commonly referred to as “edge effects” and may result in a slow replacement of native plants by non-native invasive species, as well as changes in the behavioral patterns of wildlife and reduced wildlife diversity and abundance in habitats adjacent to project sites. The Project site is not surrounded by or adjacent to natural open space; rather, adjacent facilities include Arbor Dog park, Arbor Park and the Navy Golf Course which are recreational facilities subject to regular human uses and associated disturbances, including noise. The Project is not expected to result in indirect effects to biological resources as the Project site is predominantly developed with existing outdoor lighting in place and the proposed Project would incorporate measures to minimize indirect light spillover into the adjacent areas including Arbor Park, Navy Golf Course, and JFTB (refer to Page 4.3-31 of the Draft EIR).

As indicated in Section 4.1, Noise, of the Draft EIR, some land uses are more tolerant of noise than others. For example, schools, hospitals, churches, and residences are more sensitive to noise intrusion than commercial or industrial developments and related activities (refer to Page

4.11-3 of the Draft EIR). This section analyzed noise level impacts at nearby sensitive receiver locations, as required by CEQA, and impacts were found to be less than significant. 17-236 The commenter expresses concerns with noise from existing noise sources (e.g. fighter jets, military vehicles, police helicopters training, and traffic on Lampson) and the Project’s heavy equipment for construction and its cumulative effect on residents. Refer to Response to Comment 17-36 regarding construction noise.
17-237 The commenter expresses concerns with AYSO operation and overflow parking into surrounding neighborhoods adding increased noise and air pollution to College Park East. The commenter also expresses concern regarding additional pollution from increased vehicles, health impacts negative affects to aesthetics, and how added air pollution may affect property values and requests studies to address these concerns.

A parking study (Technical Appendix Q of the Draft EIR) has been conducted for the Project to evaluate the parking need at Arbor Park and Arbor Dog Park, including AYSO Region 159 uses. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, for the results of the parking study and overflow

4665 Lampson Avenue
Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

parking. Additionally, as discussed in Section 4.2, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR, the increase in vehicle trips associated with the Project would not result in significant air quality impacts or health affects to nearby sensitive receptors, including residents at College Park East (refer to

Regarding AYSO overflow parking, if there were not adequate parking spaces for an AYSO soccer game event, vehicles would have the option of dropping off players/visitors at the park and/or driving a short distance to available parking off-site and walking to the park. These scenarios would not result in the addition of new vehicle trips attributable to the Project.

Additionally, any change in vehicle trip distance would be negligible, as it would only occur on Saturdays during soccer season. Because these vehicles are arriving at certain appointed times to watch or participate in these events, they are not expected to circle the parking lot to wait until a parking space became available. As such, vehicles unable to find adequate parking would not result in any significant traffic impacts related to congestion at the site or air quality impacts related to emissions (refer to Page 4.2-25 of the Draft EIR). Property value is not an environmental issue analyzed under CEQA; however, this comment is noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. Thus, no further response is required regarding property values. 17-238 The commenter expresses concerns about insufficient parking available and indirect noise impacts from people parking and talking in the neighborhood. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, regarding parking concerns. Indirect social noise impacts are not an environmental issue analyzed under CEQA; however, this comment is noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project
17-239 The commenter expresses concerns about Project lighting and how it will impact drivers, residents and wildlife. The commenter requests 3-D renderings of how the Project will appear from the College Park East backyards from Heather to Rose Streets and requests a daytime and nighttime [lighting] model for all residents adjacent to Lampson Avenue in College Park East between these streets. Refer to Response to Comment 17-113 regarding lighting impacts and 17-2135 for indirect impacts such as lighting to wildlife. Additionally, visual rendering of the Project on Lampson Avenue is shown in Figure 4.1-2 and 4.1-3 of the Draft EIR. For purposes of evaluating aesthetic impacts under CEQA, views from public vantage points, not private views (e.g. from the backyards of residents), are required to be evaluated. 17-240 The commenter expresses concerns about Project lighting affecting wildlife and requests a shade study. The commenter questions whether solar panels will be included to help with the energy crisis. Refer to Response to Comment 17-235 related to indirect impacts to biological resources. Additionally, the Project will include solar photovoltaic with the capability to generate up to 1,229,520 kWh/annually as a Project Design Feature (PDF GHG-1). Moreover, pursuant to the commenter’s request, a shade and shadow study was conducted for the Project (Attachment I of this Final EIR). The study provides 3 shade and shadow conditions (9 AM,

4665 Lampson Avenue
Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

11AM, 3PM) for winter solstice (December) and summer solstice (June) periods. The longest shadows are cast during the winter months and the shortest shadows are cast during the summer months. In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night of the year occur on the Summer Solstice (on June 21 or 22), marking the beginning of summer. The shortest day and longest night of the year occur on the Winter Solstice (December 21 or 22), marking the beginning of winter. The measurement of shadow lengths that occur at the winter and summer solstices therefore represent the most extreme shadow patterns that occur throughout the year.

As shown, during the summer period, the shade and shadow would mostly be confined to the Project site without spillover to adjacent properties. During the winter period, shade and shadow would spillover in the northwestern direction during 9AM and in the northeastern direction during 11 AM. However, the shade and shadow footprint would be minimal and would occur on roadway to the east and parking lot to the north. Therefore, the Project would not result in a significant change in the shade or shadow footprint to nearby properties and open space, and this analysis confirms that the Project will not result in any impacts related to shade or shadow to nearby properties and open space.
17-241 The commenter expresses concerns with the lack of a traffic light, safety and congestion. Refer to Response to Comment 17-10 and Master Response 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, regarding traffic signal concerns. Refer to Master Response 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, regarding safety concerns and Master Response 2.1.1, Transportation and Traffic Congestion, regarding traffic congestion concerns. 17-242 The commenter expresses concerns with pollution and dust from construction and vehicles and their impact to residents and wildlife. The commenter questions how many trees will be cut down. The commenter requests that a study be completed to determine how this added pollution will impact neighboring communities.

As discussed in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, the Project requires removal of existing ornamental trees (refer to Page 4.3-33 of the Draft EIR). As shown in Figure 3- 18, Landscape Plan, a total of 441 trees would be planted throughout the Project site to replace the existing trees onsite. Impacts to wildlife were also addressed in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, and determined to be less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated.

An air quality impact analysis was conducted and included as Technical Appendix B1 of the Draft EIR. As discussed in Section 4.2, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR, implementation of the Project would not: 1) exceed applicable South Coast AQMD localized criteria pollution emissions thresholds during construction and operation; 2) would not cause or measurably contribute to the formation of a CO “hot spot;” and 3) would not result in a health risk for nearby residents during construction. The land use with the greatest potential exposure to Project construction-source diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions is Location R3 which is located approximately 86 feet south of the Project site at an existing residence located at 4625 Ironwood Avenue. R3 is placed in the private outdoor living areas (backyard) facing the Project

4665 Lampson Avenue
Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

site. At the Maximally Exposed Individual Receptor (MEIR), the maximum incremental cancer risk attributable to Project construction-source DPM emissions is estimated at 2.59 in one million, which is less than the South Coast AQMD’s significance threshold of 10 in one million. At this same location, non-cancer risks were estimated to be less than 0.01, which would not exceed the applicable threshold of 1.0. Location R3 is the nearest receptor to the Project site and would experience the highest concentrations of DPM during Project construction due to meteorological conditions (wind speed and direction) at the site. Because all other modeled receptors would experience lower concentrations of DPM during Project construction, all other receptors in the vicinity of the Project would be exposed to less emissions and therefore less risk than the MEIR identified for location R3. As such, the Project will not cause a significant human health or cancer risk to adjacent land uses as a result of Project construction activity (refer to Pages 4.2-26 through 4.2-29 of the Draft EIR). 17-243 The commenter expresses concerns with the lack of proposed playgrounds, shopping centers, grocery stores, recreational amenities and other community resources such as walking paths, business centers and public transportation hubs. The commenter expresses concern that the current facilities and resources cannot handle additional overcrowding and wear.

Responses to Comment 18
De Boer, Kristal, dated June 09, 2024.
18-1 The commenter expresses concerns with the Project on the College Park East community. The commenter does not provide any specific comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR.

However, these comments are noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. 18-2 The commenter requests new environmental reports that are unbiased and provide environmental remediation measures. The commenter requests the City to release the Peer Review report before any environmental decisions are made on the Project.

The City staff and the City’s environmental consultant conducted peer review of the Draft EIR prior to release of the Draft EIR for public review. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21067 and CEQA Guidelines Article 4 and Section 15367, the City is the Lead Agency under whose authority this EIR has been prepared. “Lead Agency” refers to the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. As documented in the Draft EIR, the EIR represents the independent judgment of the City of Los Alamitos (as the CEQA Lead Agency) and presents an objective evaluation of the physical environmental effects that could result from construction and operation of the proposed 4665 Lampson Avenue Project (see Draft EIR, pp. S-1, 1-1, and 1-4).
18-3 The commenter expresses concerns with traffic, increased pollution, sewage, drainage, public utilities, and emergency response. The Draft EIR addressed the environmental topics raised by the commenter. Also refer to Section 2.1, Master Response, of this Final EIR. The commenter does not provide any specific comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. However, these comments are noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project.

Responses to Comment 19
Deaton, Ellery, dated June 07, 2024.
19-1 The commenter expresses concerns with traffic safety on Lampson Avenue. Refer to Master Response 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, for pedestrian safety concerns. 19-2 The commenter expresses concerns with increased accidents, air pollution, tire dust, noise, and overcrowding and overall quality of life. The commenter does not provide any specific comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. However, these comments are noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project.
19-3 The commenter expresses concerns with sharing an “old” sewer system with the City of Seal Beach and requests that a new sewer system is built to avoid sewage spills. Refer to Master Response 2.1.4, Hydrology and Wastewater Infrastructure Analysis, for a discussion on sewer impacts.
19-4 The commenter expresses concerns with drainage and recommends mitigation be worked out with the City of Seal Beach to ensure new drainage systems are in place for the Project and nearby neighborhoods. Refer to Master Response 2.1.4, Hydrology and Wastewater Infrastructure Analysis, for hydrology concerns.
19-5 The commenter makes suggestions to: 1) to cut the density, 2) increase the parking, 3) replace Seal Beach’s sewer system along Lampson Avenue, 4) add new drainage projects for affected neighborhoods. The commenter requests the comments to be included in the Final EIR, addressed, answered, and mitigated. This comment is noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. This comment does not raise any issues concerning the environmental analysis provided in the Draft EIR and thus no further response is required.

Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

Responses to Comment 20
DuRose, Kellie, dated June 10, 2024.
20-1 The commenter provides introductory remarks and expresses concerns with parking, safety, traffic, infrastructure, and services which are responded to below. 20-2 The commenter expresses concerns about the insufficient number of parking spaces and provides personal experience of inadequate parking. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, for parking concerns.
20-3 The commenter expresses concerns with traffic safety on Lampson Avenue. The commenter states that Lampson is a dangerous street, there have been many accidents, and there are problems with U-turns on Heather. Refer to Master Response 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, for pedestrian safety concerns.
20-4 The commenter expresses concerns with traffic congestion on Lampson Avenue and nearby intersections. Additionally, the commenter expresses concerns with accessibility of public transportation for affordable housing residents and elimination of the Park-n-Ride. The commenter states that there is no bus stop along Lampson Avenue and inadequate sidewalks on Lampson to accommodate walking from Seal Beach Boulevard to Tulip.

The commenter is correct that there is no transit service along Lampson Avenue; the nearest OCTA bus stop from the Project site is Route 123, approximately 1.2 miles at the intersection of Valley View Street and Lampson Avenue. The existing Park-n-Ride that previously occupied the Project site has not been in operation for the past 18 months and when in operation had limited usage. As discussed in Section 4.15, Transportation, of the Draft EIR, the Project Mitigation Measure MM 4.15-1 has been incorporated which includes implementing CAPCOA strategies such as coordination with OCTA to determine whether providing new or re-routing existing transit services to the site would be feasible, as determined by OCTA pursuant to OCTA’s standards (refer to Page 4.15-19 of the Draft EIR). Refer to Master Response 2.1.1, Transportation and Traffic Congestion, for traffic concerns. Refer to Master Response 2.1.2, Avenue, for pedestrian safety concerns.
20-5 The commenter states that the EIR does not address airplane safety concerns raised by Caltrans and ALUC. The commenter is incorrect in stating that the Draft EIR did not address airplane safety concerns. Please refer to Draft EIR, Section 2.4.3 for a discussion regarding Airport Environs Land Use Plan for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos and the ALUC process. Airport safety is analyzed in Section 4.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, in the Draft EIR. Refer also to Master Response 2.1.9, Proximity to the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB).
20-6 The commenter expresses concerns with flooding and existing storm drainage infrastructure in the area. The commenter expresses concerns with the existing water table and recommends

4665 Lampson Avenue
Final Environmental Impact Report 3.0 Responses to Comments Lead Agency: City of Los Alamitos SCH No. 2022090476

flooding issues be resolved before construction starts. Refer to Master Response 2.1.4, Hydrology and Wastewater Infrastructure Analysis, for hydrology concerns. 20-7 The commenter expresses concerns with existing utility infrastructure and services (i.e. grocery stores) in the area due to the Project’s population growth. The commenter expresses concerns with the age of existing grocery stores and nearby stores to the Project site. As discussed in Section 4.17, Utilities and Service Systems, of the Draft EIR, there is sufficient capacity in utility services to serve the Project site. The Project would be served in accordance with the CPUC and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission tariffs. The Project does not propose uses that are inherently energy intensive and the energy demands in total would be comparable to other residential uses of similar scale and configuration. No new or expanded off-site dry utilities are required to serve the Project, and therefore there would be no impact associated with any such facilities that could cause significant environmental effects. (refer to Draft EIR p. 4.17-15) The commenter does not provide any specific comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. However, these comments are noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project.

To: Tom Oliver
Subject: Lampson project
Date: Sunday, May 5, 2024 3:32:45 PM
Mr. OliverI’m sure you’ve heard from many of us about this residential project to be built on Lampson Ave. you’ve probably heard many concerns about the number of parking spaces to be provided per number of units. It is unacceptable. To think that people will be taking public transit to offset the lack of parking is to be intellectually dishonest. The residents would park in college park because that will be the only option. Not only will it impact residents that already are dealing with lack of parking as children grow older and start to drive but it will become a real safety concern. I’ve lived in college park for only 5 years and in that time I’ve seen a dozen or so serious accidents on Lampson. The last one was almost in our back yard just 6-7 weeks ago. Lampson is already dangerous as everybody knows- you add to that hundreds of people crossing it (maybe at a traffic light maybe not) everyday and you have made life in this neighborhood much more dangerous. The likeliness that there will be a fatality will go up exponentially if the project goes through as planned.

This of course doesn’t even take into account the joint air base and the study that seems to have been ignored by the powers that want this project. I don’t understand how a federal study/conclusion can be ignored by local government.

Safety should be the first concern and at least from where I sit it has been overtaken by the affordable housing cartel and whatever monies that brings to the city. It’s almost always about money and it certainly is with the Lampson project. It’s unsafe and it’s wrong to put revenue above safety.

Sincerely,
Chris Eble

Responses to Comment 22
Farjami, Susanne dated June 09, 2024.
22-1 The commenter expresses dismay that the EIR was prepared by consultants hired by the Project Applicant and not the City. The City staff and the City’s environmental consultant conducted peer review of the Draft EIR prior to release of the Draft EIR for public review. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21067 and CEQA Guidelines Article 4 and Section 15367, the City is the Lead Agency under whose authority this EIR has been prepared. “Lead Agency” refers to the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. As documented in the Draft EIR, the EIR represents the independent judgment of the City of Los Alamitos (as the CEQA Lead Agency) and presents an objective evaluation of the physical environmental effects that could result from construction and operation of the proposed 4665 Lampson Avenue Project (see Draft EIR, pp. S-1, 1-1, and 1-4). 22-2 The commenter expresses concerns with the zoning of the Project site and expresses concerns with ALUC and Caltrans conclusion on the site. Please refer to Draft EIR, Section 2.4.3 for a discussion regarding Airport Environs Land Use Plan for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos and the ALUC process. Refer to Master Response 2.1.9, Proximity to the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB).
22-3 The commenter inquires why the NOP comment letters were not provided to City Council or Planning Commission. The commenter requests all conflicts of interest be disclosed and new unbiased environmental reports that address public safety and quality of life issues. The commenter also requests the Peer Review report be released before any environmental decisions are made.

The NOP comment letters are intended to inform the scope of the Project’s EIR. The NOP comments were summarized in the Draft EIR (see Table 1-1 of the Draft EIR) and included in Technical Appendix A of the Draft EIR, therefore, the NOP comments were made publicly available. The Draft EIR and Final EIR, including all comments made on the Project will be made available to the decision makers prior to any scheduled public hearings on the Project.

Please refer to Response to Comment 16-16 and 22-1 regarding the EIR reflecting the independent judgment of the City, as Lead Agency, and peer review. There are no known conflicts of interest.
22-4 The commenter opposes the Project and expresses concerns with increased traffic, congestion, noise, and safety issues and quality of life. The commenter does not provide any specific comments on the adequacy of the Draft EIR. However, these comments are noted for the record and will be forwarded to the decision makers for their required review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project.

Date: Thursday, May 2, 2024 12:15:08 PM
Sir:

Just a quick note in regards to this project. First, I think that 246 housing units are a bit too many. People have to go to work, school, shopping and doctor’s appointments etc.

This will lead to much traffic congestion, much more than there is now. Second, it is too close to the Los Alamitos Military airport. The training that goes on there is very loud on weekends and sometime during the week. How happy do you think people will be when they find themselves in that noise and the level will be higher because they are close to the airport.

Third, what will you do, if God forbid, a helicopter or military plane crashes.

I believe I read that that safety board did not give your project its blessing. Who will be morally and monetarily responsible? Maybe cut back on the project and put it as far from the military runway as possible. Maybe it would be a good idea for you to hire a small plane and pilot and fly over the area to get a birds eye view. The runway is closer than you think. You can’t use a drone because it is a military facility, but a small plane is allowed to make a fly over.

Cordially,

Dear Mr. Oliver,
We are two of many community residents who are deeply concerned about these high density / low income projects moving forward. It seems that we as a community have no say in this matter.

The negative impact these projects will have to our community in terms of traffic congestion, parking, noise and air pollution, crime, increased demand on city and energy resources, etc., are very serious.

It should be noted that two State Agencies, Cal Trans Division of Aeronautics and the California Airport Land Use Commission, issued warnings that these projects have safety and health issues due to their close proximity to the Joint Forces Training Base. These warnings were omitted from the Draft Environmental Impact Report. This is unacceptable “editing” to get your projects approved.

In closing, we will stress again that we highly disapprove of these projects which have such a high negative impact to our community.

I have lived in college park east half my life, my mother still lives there. I now live in rossmoor. This project will make it that much harder to get to and from visiting with my mother. Traffic is already awful on lampson. I agree with all the points made below. This was not well thought out and is only benefiting the builder and creating more property tax for Los alamitos which is not being directly impacted by the new traffic.

1. The mixed use of density of 20 units per acre is too high to accommodate adequate parking.

Spill-over right into College Park East.

2. AYSO games will be impacted and not be able to continue with limited parking.

3. Vehicle access to the project site via two driveways on Lampson is not safe.

Ingress and egress are severely limited due to the green belt divider on Lampson.

This is a safety issue for school buses and emergency vehicles.

4. The project opens space should be converted into a recreational park with playground equipment for neighborhood children.

Without the play area, the kids will be dangerously crossing Lampson via walking or biking to access Heather Park.

5. Vehicle miles travel will be significantly increased on Lampson, Seal Beach Blvd, and Valley View.

The current Park and Ride lot that supports car pooling and van pooling will be eliminated increasing vehicle miles traveled further. Project should providing a Telework Center in the project to mitigate travel impacts.

6. California law requires solar panels on new housing and zero emission electric vehicle charging stations. Neither are mentioned in the draft plan.

25-1 The commenter provides introductory remarks, expresses concerns with traffic on Lampson Avenue, and expresses general opposition to the Project. Refer to Master Response 2.1.1, Transportation and Traffic Congestion, for traffic concerns. Other specific comments are addressed below.
25-2 The commenter expresses concerns with inadequate parking due to the proposed density and potential spill over into College Park East. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, for parking concerns.
25-3 The commenter expresses concerns with AYSO operations and parking. Refer to Master Response 2.1.3, Parking, for parking concerns.
25-4 The commenter expresses concerns with vehicle access onto the Project site and safety issues for emergency vehicles and school buses. Refer to Master Responses 2.1.2, Roadway Safety on Lampson Avenue, and 2.1.7, Emergency Vehicle Access. 25-5 The commenter recommends the Project open space be converted into a recreational park.

Refer to Master Response 2.1.10, Loss of Existing Open Space and Provision of On-Site Amenities.
25-6 The commenter expresses concerns with VMT, states that the elimination of the current Park and Ride Lot will further increase VMT, and recommends the Project provide a Telework Center. The existing Park-n-Ride that previously occupied the Project site has not been in operation for the past 18 months and when in operation, had limited usage. Additionally, as discussed in 4.15, Transportation, of the Draft EIR, the Project would result in significant VMT impacts with the implementation of Mitigation Measure MM 4.15-1. Mitigation Measure MM 4.15-1 includes implementing CAPCOA strategies such as installing broadband infrastructure or other communication technologies that encourages telecommuting and working from home, which would reduce mobile source emission (refer to Page 4.15-19 of the Draft EIR).
25-7 The commenter states that California law requires solar panels on new housing and zero emission electric vehicle charging stations which are not mentioned in the Draft EIR. Contrary to the commenter’s assertions, as part of the Project’s Project Design Features (PDFs), the Project will include solar photovoltaic with the capability to generate up to 1,229,520 kWh/annually (PDF GHG-1) and the Project’s parking areas will be designed to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. At minimum, the number of EV charging stations will equal the Tier 2 Residential Voluntary Measures of the California Green Building Standards Code, Section A4.106.8.2.1 (PDF GHG-4) (refer to Page 4.5-6 to 4.5-7 of the Draft EIR) Thus, no revision to the Draft EIR is required.

Dear Tom Oliver,
Please consider below points and our requests as residents before moving forward with the Lampson project as most of the residents are opposed to this not so well planned development.

Below are the most pressing concerns;

1. The mixed use of density of 20 units per acre is too high to accommodate adequate parking. Spill-over right into College Park East will cause air pollution and accidents in the neighborhoods.

2. AYSO games will be impacted and not be able to continue with limited parking.

This takes away the right of our kids play soccer in our own neighborhoods.

3. Vehicle access to the project site via two driveways on Lampson is not safe.

Ingress and egress are severely limited due to the green belt divider on Lampson.

This is a safety issue for school buses and emergency vehicles.

4. The project opens space should be converted into a recreational park with playground equipment for neighborhood children. Without the play area, the kids will be dangerously crossing Lampson via walking or biking to access Heather Park.

5. Vehicle miles travel will be significantly increased on Lampson, Seal Beach Blvd, and Valley View.

The current Park and Ride lot that supports car pooling and van pooling will be eliminated increasing vehicle miles traveled further. Project should provide a Telework Center to mitigate travel impacts.

6. California law requires solar panels on new housing and zero emission electric vehicle charging stations. Neither are mentioned in the draft plan.

7. This area is a lovely and relatively quiet community where most households are families where we feel safe and its not congested by traffic, pollution or too much housing squeezed into a small area. This project causes a HUGE loss to the hundred of families calling College Park East and the surrounding area “home”. Only a win for the developer.
