SECTION 2. FINDINGS

In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (CEQA), and State and local guidelines adopted pursuant thereto, the City has prepared an Initial Study to determine the proposed project’s potential impact on the environment.

Floor area ratio: 0.50; 0.60 in the Artesia and Aviation Corridors Areal Plan only.
b. Land Use Element: (Page 2-26) Artesia Boulevard. General Corridor (second, third, and fourth paragraphs).

Because of this, a focus has been placed on revitalization through coordinated improvements and development.

Page 4 of 13 ends

In addition to establishing policies to assure quality design, the principal strategy for Artesia Boulevard is to divide the corridor into four sub-areas and to implement the AACAP. The sub-areas and the AACAP This has been done in an attempt to change Artesia Boulevard from a long, largely undifferentiated corridor into distinct sub-areas, each with its own functional and design emphasis. Each sub-area was and the AACAP were developed to be compatible with the prevailing character of existing development and to enhance trends that were already occurring.

The implementation of these sub-areas and the AACAP should allow future development in each area to be more coordinated and compatible, while creating a discernible pattern of diversity as one travels the length of the corridor.
c. Land Use Element: Policy 1.15.8.

Require that the renovation of existing structures or new development on sites where parking lots currently extend to Mathews Avenue and Vanderbilt Lane restrict their vehicular access to Artesia Boulevard, unless there are no feasible alternatives, and that areas facing, abutting, or exposed to residential areas be extensively landscaped to include a screen wall (with pedestrian/bicycle access if agreed upon by all impacted property owners) incorporating evergreen plant material (covering a majority of the wall within a one year period) (I1.1).
d. Land Use Element: Policy 1.57.6.

Require that the renovation of existing structures or new development onsite is served by parking lots located on adjacent residentially-zoned property restrict the vehicular access to such parking areas to the commercial zone frontage, unless there are no feasible alternatives, and that areas facing, abutting, or exposed to residential areas be extensively landscaped to include a screen wall (with pedestrian/bicycle access if agreed upon by all impacted property owners) incorporating evergreen plant material (covering a majority of the wall within a one-year period) (I1.1, I1.7, I1.18). e. Land Use Element: Policy 1.57.7.

Allow parking lots by conditional use permit in residential districts where the lot is contiguous to or separated by an alley from the commercially-zoned property served by the parking lot, provided that there is no adverse impact on surrounding residential properties and that areas facing, abutting, or exposed to residential areas be extensively landscaped to include a screen wall (with pedestrian/bicycle access if agreed upon by all impacted property owners) incorporating evergreen plant material (covering a majority of the wall within a one year period) (I1.1, I1.7, I1.18).

In terms of uses, emphasis is placed on commercial businesses that are not strictly destination-oriented, or uses that can generate walk-in business/pedestrian activity. Typical examples would include book stores, apparel stores, specialty retail, restaurants and food stores.

Residents and visitors should be able to safely and conveniently walk, bike, or take transit in Redondo Beach, as they prefer. As the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments to parking regulations allow for access between commercial properties (and currently separate parking lots) with more reasonable requirements for offsite parking agreements which support a “park once and walk” corridor that meets parking demand and also promotes the use of active transportation within the Plan Area, particularly walking, bicycling, and scooter riding.

The amendments to the Zoning Ordinance are consistent with the Artesia & Aviation Corridors Area Plan (AACAP) as they serve to create more flexibility and parking options that serve to “right size” parking throughout the corridor and “incentivize” the “preferred uses” and recommended design elements such as “outdoor dining”.

facility is provided, such off-street parking facility shall be maintained and used in connection with such use only.

2) Outdoor seating for Restaurant uses. No additional parking is required for the first sixteen (16) outdoor seats or 30 percent of the number of indoor seats, whichever is greater. Thereafter, one parking space shall be ORDINANCE NO. 3261-23

(i) In regard to a reduction in parking spaces:

b. The adjacent or nearby properties will not be adversely affected by noise associated with the mechanical lifts and/or valet parking services; and
c. Mechanical lifts shall be operated by an employee and shall be screened from view from the adjacent public right-of-way. 3) Mechanical Lift Design Standards. A mechanical lift is an elevator-like mechanical system allowing full-size passenger cars or sport utility vehicles ORDINANCE NO. 3261-23

ARTESIA & AVIATION CORRIDORS AREA PLAN ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS FOR PARKING COMPONENTS

Page 10 of 13 ends

to be placed in the lift and mechanically raised or lowered, creating space for more full-size passenger cars or sport utility vehicles to be parked in a vertical configuration. Mechanical lifts shall be operated solely by parking attendants. Mechanical lifts shall be screened from view from adjacent public streets to the extent feasible. Mechanical lifts shall be located only in parking structures/lots where they will be fully or substantially obstructed from view from adjacent public streets.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such parking reduction, parking lot design, overlap (on-site or off-site) parking, valet parking, tandem parking, or mechanical lift request also includes other discretionary actions to be considered by the Planning Commission, the Community Development Director shall refer the parking request to the Planning Commission in conjunction with such other discretionary actions. The Planning Commission, in considering the parking request, shall make such findings and include necessary conditions as provided in this section. (6) Performance.
