offering yoga and pilates, a Lab, a Dialysis Center, Cancer Care, the BCHD offices, Urgent Care and a pharmacy.

The subject property is surrounded by a variety of uses including single-family residences to the west, south and east, and a shopping center and service station to the north.

On May 18, 2006, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (see attached Staff Report and Resolution No. 2006-05-PCR-020) to allow the reconfiguration of the 2
nd
, 3
rd and 4
th floors of the medical facility with acute care beds
to residential care beds for the elderly. The new facility was designed specifically for seniors with Alzheimer's and is operated by a company known as Silverado Senior Living. The total project area is 27,300 square feet in size with 9,100 square feet of space on each floor consisting of the small residential units and common areas: a living area; dining areas; an activity area; spa; and other miscellaneous areas. There is also a 3,780 square foot outdoor garden located on a terrace beside the south tower cafeteria.

On September 20, 2007,the Planning Commission also approved a Planning Commission Design Review for the facility (see attached Staff Report and Resolution No. 2007-09-PCR-033) to allow for various exterior fa9ade modifications including the addition of new balconies/decks adjacent to each of the three floors, two (2) new glass canopies and other changes in the window and door openings and formations.

The Silverado facility has been operational with 88 beds since March 2009.

CURRENT REQUEST:

The applicant is seeking approval to amend the existing Conditional Use Permit and Planning Commission Design Review to allow the expansion of the Silverado Senior Living facility, located on the 2
nd
, 3
rd and 4
th floors of the south tower of 514 N.

Prospect, to the first floor. The first floor area under consideration is currently occupied by an imaging center and a cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation center.

The first floor expansion consists of the interior remodel of 10,735 square feet of gross floor area. 4,720 square feet of the area will be used to construct 16, two (2) bedroom units. The remaining area will be remodeled to create residents' activity areas, a dining area, restrooms, administrative offices and other support uses. Once the first floor remodel is complete it will connect to the rest of the facility by way of stairs or an elevator located in the lobby at the north end of each of the four floors.

Currently there are west-facing doors on the first floor that provide exterior ingress and egress to the first floor area. These doors, which are set in approximately eight (8) feet from the exterior wall, are to be removed and replaced with windows that will be flush with the exterior wall. The new windows will match the existing windows along the westfacing elevation. In addition, the small section of sidewalk that currently leads to the S:IPLNIANITA\CUPVAR\Prospect 514 N - Sr. assisted living 10.21.10.doc B-72
Administrative Report
Case 2010-09-PC-023

October 21, 2010
doors will be removed and replaced with new landscaping to match the existing landscaping.

EVALUATION OF REQUEST:

The proposed project requires the approval of an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit and the Planning Commission Design Review.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to ensure that the site is appropriate for the proposed use, that the site has adequate access to a public street that can accommodate the traffic generated by the use, that the proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding neighborhood and that the project is consistent with the City's General Plan.

The originai project, as approved in 2006, is located entirely within the 514 N. Prospect structure, with the exception of a small outdoor garden area located on a south-facing terrace and the enclosed balconies located off of the 2 nd
, 3
rd and 4
th floors. The
proposed expansion will also be located within the footprint of the 514 N. Prospect structure with the exception of an 8 foot by 8 foot area, 64 square feet in total that will be gained by removing ingress/egress doors and replacing them with windows flush with the exterior windows.

The following information was taken into consideration in approving the ratio of one parking space for every three (3) beds when the project was first approved in 2006. a. All the residents of Silverado Senior Living have Alzheimer's or Dementia and are no longer self-mobile or can no longer drive an automobile. b. Many of the employees utilize ridesharing, bicycling, or public transit for their commute due to the close proximity to their homes.
c. Families and visitors of the Silverado residents usually visit after commuting hours in the evening. Families typically come to see their loved ones on the weekends and after work.
d. Silverado provides a community shuttle that transports their residents, their families and employees for visits, special events, shopping and other excursions, greatly reducing the number of trips made from the site. • The operators of the facility have found the above considerations to be true. The current facility has been operating since March, 2009 with no impacts on on-site parking. Therefore, the conversion of 10,735 square feet of gross floor area from physical rehabilitation uses, which requires one parking space for every 300 square feet or a total of 36 parking spaces, to an assisted residential care use with 32 beds, S:\PLN\ANITA\CUPVAR\Prospect 514 N -Sr. assisted living 10.21.10.doc B-73
Administrative Report
Case 2010-09-PC-023

October 21, 2010
which requires one parking space for every three (3) beds or 11 parking spaces, will result in a reduction in the demand for on-site parking.

In 2006, staff completed Initial Environmental Study No. 2006-03-IES-MND-005.

Among other things the study examined the trip generation potential for the proposed use. The trip generation study, based on information provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Report, 7th Edition, indicated that the assisted residential care use would generate considerably less traffic, only about 20% as much, as the previous use. Information contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Report, 8
th Edition confirms that the proposed use
will generate less traffic than the existing use. Representatives of Silverado and BCHD indicate that there have not been any negative impacts on traffic circulation as a result of the new facility. Therefore, the conversion of 10,735 square feet of gross floor area from a medical diagnostic use and a physical rehabilitation use to an assisted residential care use with 32 beds will result in a decrease in the average vehicle trips to and from the subject property thereby reducing the current demands on the on-site and off-site traffic circulation systems.

According to representatives of BCHD, the operation of the existing facility has not had an adverse effect on any of the other uses on the subject property. It is logical to conclude, therefore, that a small expansion of the existing facility will not cause negative impacts on the other uses on the campus.

The expansion of the existing assisted residential care facility is consistent with the City's General Plan which states that it is the goal of the City to provide the types and mix of land uses necessary to serve the needs of existing and future residents. This site is designated "P" Public in the General Plan. Policy 1.46.1 of the General Plan permits "human health" and "human services" on properties designated "P" Public.

Given the aging demographics of our population it is not surprising that this facility is looking to expand and it is likely that more of these facilities will be needed in the near future.

PLANNING COMMISION DESIGN REVIEW
The purpose of Planning Commission Design Review is to ensure compatibility, originality, variety, and innovation in the architecture, design, landscaping, and site planning of developments in the community. Thoughtful consideration of urban design helps preserve or sometimes improves property values, prevents the blight and deterioration of neighborhoods, promotes sound land use, encourages design excellence, and protects the overall health, safety, and welfare of the City.

In this instance, the proposed expansion to the existing assisted residential care facility is primarily an interior remodel and has minimal impact on the architecture of the existing structure. The removal of a set of exterior doors on the west-facing elevation will result in a small, 64 square foot, expansion of the interior space. As per the plans, the doors are to be replaced by windows that will be flush with the exterior wall and will S:IPLN\ANITA\CUPVAR\Prospect 514 N -Sr. assisted living 10.21.10.doc B-74

CASE NUMBER: 2006-04-PC-017
APPLICANT'S NAME: SILVERADO SENIOR LIVING
APPLICANT'S REQUEST AS ADVERTISED:

Consideration of a Negative Declaration, Planning Commission Design Review and Conditional Use Permit to allow the conversion of three floors of an existing medical facility to a residential care facility (assisted living) with 84 beds, on property located within the Public-Community Facility (P-CF) zone.

DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Department recommends that the Planning Commission make the findings as set forth in the staff report, adopt the Negative Declaration and approve the Planning Commission Design Review and Conditional Use Permit, subject to the plans and applications submitted, and the conditions below.

DEPARTMENT'S ANALYSIS OF REQUEST:

BACKGROUND/EXISTING CONDITIONS:

The subject property is developed with a 37,000 square foot facility, built in 1976, that consists of three separate buildings surrounded by various parking structures and parking lots. Access to the site is provided via two driveways off of North Prospect Avenue. The centrally located driveway is the public entrance, while the driveway to the south is a designated staff entrance.

The facility is occupied by a variety of health care providers including the Little Company of Mary Women's Wellness Center and Rehab Center, Beach Cities Ambulatory Care, Beach Cities Health District Center for Health & Fitness, an Urgent Care Center, a Dialysis Center and an Imaging Facility.

May 18, 2006
The subject property is surrounded by a variety of uses including single-family residences to the west, south and east, and a shopping center and service station to the north.

CURRENT REQUEST:

The applicant is seeking approval to remodel and establish new uses on the second, third and fourth floors of the south tower of the most centrally located structure (514 N.

Prospect Avenue). More specifically, the proposed project is to convert areas previously used for acute care nursing units to an assisted living residential care facility for seniors.

The project includes the reconfiguration of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors from 77 acute care beds to 84 residential care beds for the elderly.

The total project area is 27,300 square feet with 9,100 square on each of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the south tower, which are to be converted into small residential units and common areas including a living area, dining areas, activity area, spa and other miscellaneous areas. The units will consist of six (6) one-bed units, 275 square feet in size, and thirty-nine (39) two-bed units, 300 square feet in size.

A 3,780 square outdoor garden is to be created next to the south tower cafeteria. The secured garden area will only be accessible from the inside of the facility. The area will be completely landscaped and will feature a curved pathway and a small seating area.

Exterior modifications will occur on the north side only. The modifications include new balconies to be installed on the north side of each of the three floors with a trellis over the fourth floor balcony, the removal of some of the windows, the installation of double doors that will lead onto the balconies and the construction of a new quarter glass canopy. All exterior colors and materials are designed to match the existing colors and materials.

A sign advertising the facility is to be installed over the fourth floor windows directly east of the new balconies.

It should be noted that a similar request for a 57-bed assisted living facility was approved by the Planning Commission on April 21, 2005. However, the plans with that operator did not work out.

EVALUATION OF REQUEST:

The proposed project requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to ensure that the site for the proposed use is appropriate for that specific use, that the site has adequate access to a public street that can accommodate the traffic generated by the use, that the proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding neighborhood and that the project is consistent with the City's General Plan.

Administrative Report
Case 2006-04-PC-017

May 18, 2006
The subject property and the improvements located on the site are adequate to accommodate the proposed assisted living residential care facility. The facility will be located entirely within an existing structure, with the exception of a small outdoor garden area, and will require interior modifications to the floor plans and some minor, cosmetic exterior modifications. The proposed • project will not affect any existing conditions on the site such as building setbacks, parking, circulation, landscaping or other features.

The site has access to a public street that is adequate in width to carry the traffic generated by the proposed use and other existing uses on the subject property. As is stated in the environmental document, Initial Environmental Study No. 2006-02-IESND-005, the proposed use is expected to generate considerably less traffic (230 daily trips) than the former hospital use (909 daily trips). These calculations are based on trip generation figures contained in the Institute of Traffic Engineers, Trip Generation Manual (ih Edition, 2003), which indicates that residential care facilities generate 2.74 round trips per bed versus 11.81 roundtrips per hospital bed. There is more than sufficient on-site parking. A very limited number of long-term parking spaces may need to be designated for the few residents who own cars. Most of the residents will not own cars.

The project will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding areas because the proposed use will not generate any additional traffic or parking demands, noise or other undesirable impacts. The proposed facility will provide a much needed residential care facility for the elderly who require living assistance and who wish to remain living in the South Bay area.

The approval of an assisted living residential care facility for the seniors is consistent with the City's General Plan which states that it is the goal of the City to provide the types and mix of land uses necessary to serve the needs of the existing and future residents. This site is designated "P" Public in the General Plan. Policy 1.46.1 of the General Plan permits "human health" and "human services" is areas designated "P".

Given the aging demographics of our population it is likely that more of these facilities will be needed in the near future.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff prepared an Initial Environmental Study (2006-02-IES-ND-005) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts attributable to the project. The I ES found that the proposed project could not have a significant adverse effect on the environment and as such Negative Declaration No. 2006-02-IES-ND-005 has been prepared.

1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING

PROGRAM
The City of Redondo Beach (City) is the lead agency for the proposed Redondo Beach Focused General Plan Update, Zoning Ordinance Updates, and Local Coastal Program Amendment (proposed project) and has developed this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) as a vehicle for monitoring and ensuring the successful implementation of mitigation measures outlined in the City of Redondo Beach proposed Redondo Beach Focused General Plan Update, Zoning Ordinance Updates, and Local Coastal Program Amendment Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2023050732.

As the lead agency, the City is responsible for implementing the MMRP, which has been prepared in conformance with Section 21081.6 of the California Public Resources Code, as follows:
(a) When making findings required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (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 or 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.

The MMRP consists of mitigation measures that avoid, reduce, and/or fully mitigate potential environmental impacts. The mitigation measures have been identified and recommended through preparation of the PEIR and drafted to meet the requirements of Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6.

1. Introduction

1.2 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS

1.2.1 Project Location
The City of Redondo Beach is in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. It is bordered to the north by Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, and El Segundo; to the east by Torrance and Lawndale; to the south by the Palos Verdes Peninsula; and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. The southwestern portion of the city stretches along approximately 2.6 miles of coastline between the border of Hermosa Beach to the north and Torrance to the south. Interstate and regional access are provided by Interstate 405 (I-405), which runs in a general north-south direction and passes through the northern portion of the city; State Route 107 (SR-107), a north-south state highway that borders the northeastern portion of the city; and Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1), a north-south highway that bisects the southern portion of the city.

1.2.2 Project Description
Project Summary
The General Plan represents the community’s vision of its future; it also serves as the blueprint guiding the City. The City will use the goals and policies of the General Plan as a basis from which to make land use, housing, mobility, infrastructure (capital improvements), and open space and parks decisions. Redondo Beach has selected the year 2050 as its planning horizon. The City is updating five of the State-required elements that make up the General Plan:
 Land Use. Key components of the update to this element include the policy framework, which includes the goals and policies that guide land-use decisions and help shape future development and public investment; the land use plan, including the land use map and designations some of which implement the housing sites; the focus areas and special policy areas discussions; and the implementation measures.  Open Space and Conservation. Key components of the update to this element include goals and policies that reconcile competing demands on open space resources, and emphasize the role parks, public spaces, recreation facilities and programs, community events, and the preservation of natural resources play in economic development, land use, sustainability, climate adaptation, infrastructure, and transportation goals.  Safety. Key components of the update to this element include identifying natural and human-caused hazards and evaluating how these hazards are projected to change in the future. Goals and policies aim to minimize the effects of these hazards. For the Redondo Beach General Plan Update, the Environmental Hazards/Natural Hazards Element will become the state-mandated safety element.  Noise. Key components of the update to this element include assessing the community’s existing noise environment and providing goals and policies and implementation actions to proactively reduce noise and land use compatibility problems considerate of future noise contours.  Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance for the Coastal Zone. Updates to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance for the Coastal Zone will include modifications for consistency with the C-6

REDONDO BEACH FOCUSED GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE AND LOCAL

COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM

CITY OF REDONDO BEACH

1. Introduction
October 2024 Page 3
proposed General Plan, recently adopted Housing Element, and in the context of State laws such as Senate Bills 35 and 330.
 Local Coastal Amendment. To implement the changes proposed by the Focused General Plan Update and the proposed Zoning Ordinance Update within the coastal zone, the City must also amend portions of both the Land Use Plan (LUP) and Implementation Plan (IP) components of its Local Coastal Program (LCP). Proposed changes to the LUP include updates to the Land Use Map consistent with the Land Use Map in the Focused General Plan Update.

Proposed changes to the IP will include updates to the Zoning Map within the Coastal Zone to implement the Focused General Plan Update and updates to the Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone. Proposed changes to the Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone are consistent with the proposed Zoning Ordinance Update, except where changes would conflict with the provisions of the California Coastal Act. The Zoning Code changes related to the General Plan Update for areas the Coastal Zone do not include any changes that would impact coastal resource requirements, including provisions for off-street parking in parking constrained areas near the shoreline. In addition, development in the coastal zone will remain subject to current coastal development permit (CDP) procedures to ensure protection of coastal resources.

Each General Plan element contains a number of goal statements and related policy statements for each stated goal. Additionally, details for implementing policies in the General Plan are contained in the form of Implementation Actions. Updates to these elements are accompanied by associated revisions to the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program (LCP) needed to make them consistent and implement the updated goals and policies. The entirety of the updates to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and LCP updates constitutes the “proposed project.” Although the General Plan is composed of individual sections, or “elements,” that individually address a specific area of concern, the General Plan embodies a comprehensive and integrated planning approach for the City.

Proposed General Plan and Buildout
Buildout projections represent development likely to occur based on past trends and anticipated levels of density and intensity for each land use category anticipated by the 2050 planning horizon of the proposed General Plan, and compares growth to existing conditions as summarized in Chapter 3, Project Description, Table 3-1, of the PEIR and below in Table1. Table 1 shows the potential for housing units, nonresidential building square footage, and jobs that are likely to be generated by the proposed Land Use Plan (see also Figure 3-5 of the PEIR and Appendix B, Buildout Methodology Memorandum, Table 8. Proposed Land Use Plan Anticipated Density and Intensity). As shown in Table 1, the proposed land uses would result in an increase of 4,956 residential dwelling units (16 percent), 8,667 residents (12 percent), 5,681,999 square feet of nonresidential development (48 percent), and 7,989 jobs (28 percent) compared to existing conditions.

1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The level of significance is identified for each impact in this Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). Although the criteria for determining significance are different for each topic area, the environmental analysis applies a uniform classification of the impacts based on definitions consistent with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines:
 No impact. The project would not change the environment.  Less than significant. The project would not cause any substantial, adverse change in the environment.  Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. The EIR includes mitigation measures that avoid substantial adverse impacts on the environment.
 Significant and unavoidable. The project would cause a substantial adverse effect on the environment, and no feasible mitigation measures are available to reduce the impact to a less than significant level.

2. Mitigation Monitoring Process

2.1 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
Overall MMRP management is the responsibility of the City of Redondo Beach. The City’s technical consultants (CEQA consultant, etc.) may perform related monitoring tasks under the direction of the environmental monitor (i.e., the qualified/professional expert in charge of monitoring and/or implementing mitigation) if they are contracted by the City.

2.1.1 City of Redondo beach
As the lead agency, the City is responsible for the review of all monitoring reports, enforcement actions, and document disposition. The City will rely on information provided by individual monitors (e.g., CEQA consultant, etc.) as accurate and up to date, and will field check mitigation measure status, as required.

2.1.2 Mitigation Monitoring Team
The mitigation monitoring team, consisting of the designated Project Manager (e.g., Community Development Director) and Technical Consultants (CEQA consultant, etc.) are responsible for monitoring implementation and compliance with all adopted mitigation measures and conditions of approval. A major portion of the team’s work will entail in-field monitoring and compliance report preparation. Implementation disputes are brought to the Project Manager, and any appeals would go to the City Manager and ultimately the City Council.

2.1.3 Monitoring Team
The following summarizes key positions in the MMRP and their respective functions:
 Project Manager: Responsible for coordination of mitigation monitoring team, technical consultants, report preparation, and overall program administration and document/report clearinghouse.  Construction Contractor: Responsible for coordination of mitigation monitoring team; technical consultants; report preparation; and implementation the monitoring program, including overall program administration, document/report clearinghouse, and first phase of dispute resolution.  Technical Consultants: Responsible for monitoring in respective areas of expertise (CEQA consultant, project engineer, noise analyst/specialist). Report directly to the Project Manager.

2. Mitigation Monitoring Process

2.1.4 Recognized Experts
The use of recognized experts on the monitoring team is required to ensure compliance with scientific and engineering mitigation measures. The mitigation monitoring team’s recognized experts assess compliance with required mitigation measures, and recognized experts from responsible agencies consult with the Project Manager regarding disputes.

2.2 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If the monitoring team determines that a mitigation measure, in the opinion of the monitor, has not been implemented or has not been implemented correctly, the problem will be brought before the Project Manager for resolution. The decision of the Project Manager is final unless appealed to the City Manager. The Project Manager will have the authority to issue stop-work order until the dispute is resolved.

2.3 ENFORCEMENT
Public agencies may enforce conditions of approval through their existing police powers using stop-work orders, fines, infraction citations, revocation of approval/permits, or in some cases, notice of violation for tax purposes.

October 2024 Page 9

3. Mitigation Monitoring Requirements

3.1 PREMONITORING MEETING
A premonitoring meeting will be scheduled to review mitigation measures, implementation requirements, schedule conformance, and mitigation monitoring team responsibilities. At such meetings, the monitoring team rules are established, the entire mitigation monitoring program is presented, and any misunderstandings are resolved.

3.2 CATEGORIZED MITIGATION MEASURES/MATRIX
Project-specific mitigation measures have been categorized in matrix format, as shown in Table 2, Mitigation Monitoring Requirements. The matrix identifies the environmental factor, specific mitigation measures, schedule, and responsible monitor. The mitigation matrix will serve as the basis for scheduling the implementation of and compliance with all mitigation measures.

3.3 IN-FIELD MONITORING
Project monitors and technical subconsultants shall exercise caution and professional practices at all times when monitoring implementation of mitigation measures. Protective wear (e.g., hard hat, glasses) shall be worn at all times in construction areas. Injuries shall be immediately reported to the mitigation monitoring team.

3.4 DATABASE MANAGEMENT
All mitigation monitoring reports, letters, and memos shall be prepared utilizing electronic software, such as Microsoft Word, Adobe, etc.

3.5 COORDINATION WITH CONTRACTORS
The construction manager is responsible for coordination of contractors and for contractor completion of required mitigation measures.

3.6 LONG-TERM MONITORING
Long-term monitoring related to several mitigation measures will be required, including review of project plans to ensure compliance with the most recent versions of the California Building Code and California Fire Code.

Post-construction fire inspections are conducted on a routine basis by the City of Redondo Beach Fire Department.

AIR QUALITY
AQ-1 Prior to discretionary approval by the City of Redondo Beach for development projects subject to CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) review (i.e., nonexempt projects), project applicants shall prepare and submit a technical assessment evaluating potential project construction-related air quality impacts to the City of Redondo Beach Planning Division for review and approval. The evaluation shall be prepared in conformance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) methodology for assessing air quality impacts. If construction-related criteria air pollutants are determined to have the potential to exceed the South Coast AQMD–adopted thresholds of significance, the City of Redondo Beach Building & Safety Division shall require feasible mitigation measures to reduce air quality emissions. Potential measures shall be incorporated as conditions of approval for a project and may include, but are not limited to the following:
• Require fugitive dust control measures that exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Rule 403, such as:
• Requiring use of nontoxic soil stabilizers to reduce wind erosion. • Applying water every four hours to active soil disturbing activities. • Tarping and/or maintaining a minimum of 24 inches of freeboard on trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials.
• Using construction equipment rated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as having Tier 4 interim or higher exhaust emission limits. • Ensuring construction equipment is properly serviced and maintained to the manufacturer’s standards.
• Limiting nonessential idling of construction equipment to no more than five consecutive minutes.
• Using Super-Compliant VOC paints for coating of architectural surfaces whenever possible. A list of Super-Compliant architectural coating manufactures can be found on the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s website at:

The assessment shall be provided to the Director of the Community Development Department for concurrence as to the appropriate mitigation for historic resources.

CUL-2 Cultural Resources Assessment. For discretionary projects that involve ground-disturbing activities during construction on areas where no previous ground disturbance or excavation has occurred, or ground-disturbing activities would occur in native soil, a site-specific cultural resources study shall be completed prior to project approval. The study shall include records searches of the California Historical Resources Information System and the Sacred Lands File maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission. The records searches shall determine if the proposed project has been previously surveyed for archaeological resources, identify and characterize the results of previous cultural resource surveys, and disclose any cultural resources that have been recorded and/or evaluated.

If the records search identifies a sensitivity for archaeological resources, an archaeological resources assessment shall be performed under the supervision of an archaeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s PQS in either prehistoric or historic archaeology. If the archaeological assessment indicates the area to be of medium sensitivity for archaeological resources, an archaeologist who meets the PQS shall be retained on an on-call basis.

If the archaeological assessment indicated the area to be highly sensitive for archaeological resources, a qualified archaeologist shall monitor all ground-disturbing construction and pre-construction activities.

The updated CAP shall be updated every five years to ensure the City is monitoring the plan’s progress toward achieving the City’s GHG reduction target and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving a specified level. The update shall consider a trajectory consistent with the GHG emissions reduction goal established under SB 32 for year 2030, AB 1279 for year 2045, and the latest applicable statewide legislative GHG emission reduction that may be in effect at the time of the CAP update.

The CAP update shall include the following:
• GHG inventories of existing and forecast year GHG levels. • Tools and strategies for reducing GHG emissions to achieve the GHG reduction goals of Senate Bill 32 for year 2030.
• Tools and strategies for reducing GHG emissions to ensure a trajectory with the long-term GHG reduction goal and carbon neutrality goal for year 2045 of AB 1279.
• Plan implementation guidance that includes, at minimum, the following components consistent with the proposed updated CAP:
• Administration and Staffing
• Finance and Budgeting
• Timelines for Measure Implementation
• Community Outreach and Education
• Monitoring, Reporting, and Adaptive Management

N-1 Construction Noise Measures. Construction contractors shall implement the following measures for construction activities conducted in the City of Redondo Beach.

Construction plans submitted to the City shall identify these measures on demolition, grading, and construction plans. The City of Redondo Beach Planning and Building Divisions shall verify that grading, demolition, and/or construction plans submitted to the City include these notations prior to issuance of demolition, grading, and/or building permits.
• During the entire active construction period, equipment and trucks used for project construction shall use the best-available noise control techniques (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds), wherever feasible. • Impact tools (e.g., jack hammers and hoe rams) shall be hydraulically or electrically powered wherever possible. Where the use of pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler on the compressed air exhaust shall be used along with external noise jackets on the tools.
• Stationary equipment, such as generators and air compressors, shall be located as far as feasible from nearby noise-sensitive uses.
• Stockpiling shall be located as far as feasible from nearby noise-sensitive receptors.
• Construction traffic shall be limited, to the extent feasible, to approved haul routes established by the City Planning, Engineering, and Building Divisions. • At least 10 days prior to the start of construction activities, a sign shall be posted at the entrance(s) to the job site, clearly visible to the public, that includes permitted construction days and hours, as well as the telephone numbers of the City’s and contractor’s authorized representatives that are assigned to respond in the event of a noise or vibration complaint. If the authorized contractor’s representative receives a complaint, he/she shall investigate, take appropriate corrective action, and report the action to the City.
• Signs shall be posted at the job site entrance(s), within the on-site construction zones, and along queueing lanes (if any) to reinforce the prohibition of unnecessary engine idling. All other equipment shall be turned off if not in use for more than 5 minutes.
• During the entire active construction period and to the extent feasible, the use of noise-producing signals, including horns, whistles, alarms, and bells, shall be for safety warning purposes only. The construction manager shall use smart backFuture Project Applicants and

up alarms, which automatically adjust the alarm level based on the background noise level or switch off back-up alarms and replace with human spotters in compliance with all safety requirements and laws.
• If construction is anticipated for prolonged periods, as required by the Community Development Director or their assigned designee, erect temporary noise barriers (at least as high as the exhaust of equipment and breaking line-ofsight between noise sources and sensitive receptors), as necessary and feasible, to maintain construction noise levels at or below the performance standard of 80 dBA Leq. Barriers shall be constructed with a solid material that has a density of at least 4 pounds per square foot with no gaps from the ground to the top of the barrier.

N-2 Noise and Vibration Analysis. Prior to issuance of a building permit for a project requiring pile driving during construction within 135 feet of fragile structures, such as historical resources, within 100 feet of nonengineered timber and masonry buildings (e.g., most residential buildings), or within 75 feet of engineered concrete and masonry (no plaster); or a vibratory roller within 25 feet of any structure, the project applicant shall prepare a noise and vibration analysis to assess and mitigate potential noise and vibration impacts related to these activities. This noise and vibration analysis shall be conducted by a qualified and experienced acoustical consultant or engineer. The vibration levels shall not exceed Federal Transit Administration (FTA) architectural damage thresholds (e.g., 0.12 inches per second [in/sec] peak particle velocity [PPV] for fragile or historical resources, 0.2 in/sec PPV for nonengineered timber and masonry buildings, and 0.3 in/sec PPV for engineered concrete and masonry). If vibration levels would exceed these thresholds, alternative uses shall be used, such as drilling piles instead of pile driving and static rollers instead of vibratory rollers. If necessary, construction vibration monitoring shall be conducted to ensure vibration thresholds are not exceeded.

N-3 Vibration Analysis. Prior to discretionary approval by the City of Redondo Beach for development projects subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (i.e., nonexempt projects), that utilize equipment that has the potential to result in vibration (e.g., pile drivers, jack hammers, and vibratory rollers), a vibration analysis shall be conducted to assess and mitigate potential vibration impacts. This vibration analysis shall be conducted by a qualified and experienced acoustical consultant or engineer and shall follow the latest CEQA guidelines, practices, and precedents
