Dear SM City Council Members:

I wholeheartedly endorse Sunset Park resident Diane Reynolds' application to serve as an SMO Airport Commissioner and strongly encourage the Santa Monica City Council to appoint her to a four‐year term.

As a representative of our neighborhood, Diane will hold community interests in mind during the critical next four years at SMO. Diane is dedicated to mitigating SMO health impacts, promoting sustainable current uses such as a planned expansion of Airport Park, and actively supporting the Commission and SM City Council in preparing SMO for a successful return to local control in 2029.

Sincerely,
Karen Stern

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only airport commissioner to have a technical knowledge about issues related to the operation of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values.

Given the complete absence of anyone with a technical aviation background, I also wish to note that two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds, do not meet the basic needs that the commission currently has ‐‐ which is a clear understanding of the issues.

Specifically, Marie Manvel does not meet these criteria and has submitted applications for 11 of the city's 25 boards and commissions. She would clearly be better suited for a non‐airport board or commission.

As relates to Diane Reynolds, I believe it would be a disservice to the council to appoint a non‐technical person who is only focused on closing the airport. A person with this bias and lack of technical understanding of aviation issues could compromise airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other stakeholders of an operating airport.

Sincerely,
Scotty Weber

To: Santa Monica City Council
From: The Board of Northeast Neighbors
Re: Support appointment of 3 new Stakeholders to the Board of Downtown Santa Monica, Inc (DTSM) Agenda Item 16.A. 6/28/2022
Dear City Council,
The Board of Northeast Neighbors writes to request that City Council appoint the following three stakeholder applicants onto the Board of Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. (DTSM):
 Leonid (Leo) Pustilnikov – Owner of the AMC on the Promenade  Luke M. Cain – Owner of Britannia Pub on 4th Street
 Lucian Tudor – Owner of the 1212 Restaurant on the Promenade Tuesday’s Council meeting affords the Council with an opportunity to appoint these local members of the downtown business community as needed new leadership to address the ongoing devastation of Downtown and the Third Street Promenade.

Downtown and the Promenade are large revenue-generating opportunities for our city that have been neglected by the current DTSM board. The current DTSM board’s promotion of “Promenade 3.0” revitalization plan has been an utter failure for the Promenade, which has more than 60% vacancies.

Visitors to our City are stunned by the sad state of the Promenade, once a beloved destination for residents and tourists alike.

The City Council should appoint these three highly motivated and invested representatives of the downtown business community to DTSM and allow them to bring back our commercial core. We need new leadership to accomplish the DTSM Mission Statement and goal of “driving awareness to maintain and strengthen the District’s reputation, identity and overall appeal to ensure its continued success.”

Dear Council Members,
Please appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. She is a long term Sunset Park resident.

She would be the only Airport Commissioner to have first hand technical knowledge of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would be in line with Council values.

The Santa Monica Police department is flying drones over our City with a woman as the safety pilot. This is the future of aviation. (pictures attached)
Currently there is a commercial tenant at the airport operating in a less than prudent manner. The Airport Commission has no idea since they are not pilots and never set a foot on the airport and have no pragmatic interest in aviation safety.

Why is there is not a woman on the airport commission or anyone with current aviation experience? We have white men with zero vision for safety, electric aviation and are spinning a yarn of myths. They waste our City Staffresources with baseless projects that accomplish nothing but waste money.

In 2011, The Airport Commission spent $70,000 with Rand on a consultant
brief https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/documented_briefings/2012/RAND_DB639.pdf This was a waste of money since the Airport Commission did not like the findings of the brief and lambasted the authors. The Rand report suggested the airport land had multitude of long term values if properly managed

There is zero down side to adding a woman pilot who has current aviation experience to the airport commission. The upside, we would have a safer and quieter airport.

I am a 25 year resident, contractor with the city, tenant of the city and have installed over 300 solar and battery back up systems in Santa Monica. I have over forty years of worldwide aviation experience including military and commercial operations. Please balance this commission. The current Airport Commission is remarkably uninformed and has done nothing to support safety or address noise issues.

Eve Lopez would be an asset to the entire community and provide an insight that would fill the unethical void that now exists.

RE: 6/28/22 agenda item #16: Airport Commission appointment

I urge the Council to appoint Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission.

As resident and community stakeholder in Sunset Park for 25 years, Diane has been an active volunteer. Her two children, Eli and Emily Brown, attended SMMUSD schools, and she volunteered with the school district and with the PTA.

In 2008, she canvassed for the SMMUSD Measure R parcel tax, which combined and replaced the previous Measures Y and S parcel taxes, contained a CPI-U adjustment, and included a senior exemption.

(1) prohibit new development on Airport land, except for parks, public open spaces and public recreational facilities, until the voters approve limits on the uses and development that may occur on the land; and (2) affirm the City Council's authority to manage the Airport and to close all or part of it?”

In 2020, she was invited by Peter James to serve on a working group regarding the relocation of the Public Landscape Maintenance Division.

Diane also organized her local Neighborhood Watch group.

As the child of an Alaskan bush pilot and someone who has lived near Santa Monica Airport for many years, she would follow in the footsteps of Susan Hartley and Dr. Suzanne Paulson -- Sunset Park residents who previously served on the Airport Commission.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for 25 years, Diane consults with First5-LA, Connections for Children, and the L.A. County Department of Mental Health.

Her skills in organizing, providing education and training, helping teams navigate complex issues, and welcoming all voices in building the future would be very helpful on the Airport Commission.

She could support the Commission’s efforts to mitigate health impacts from the airport, promote sustainable uses, and prepare for the airport’s closure in 2029.

There are currently two pilots and an attorney on the Commission:

I am wholeheartedly endorsing Sunset Park resident Diane Reynolds' application to serve as an SMO Airport Commissioner and strongly encourage the Santa Monica City Council to appoint her to a four‐year term.

We live on the same street as Diane, who has been an advocate for improving not only our street, but the entire Santa Monica community.

As a representative of our local and extended neighborhoods, Diane will hold community interests in mind during the critical next four years at SMO. Diane is dedicated to mitigating SMO health impacts, promoting sustainable current uses such as a planned expansion of Airport Park, and actively supporting the Commission and SM City Council in preparing SMO for a successful return to local control in 2029.

On Tuesday, you will be tasked with appointing a new airport commissioner. Currently, there is a lack of diversity on the Commission, in gender, ethnicity, neighborhood. Further, no one has a technical aviation background. We need someone with a clear understanding of the issues concerning the airport. Two candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds, do not meet these basic needs.

It would be a disservice to the council to appoint a non‐technical person who is only focused on closing the airport. A person with this bias and lack of any technical understanding of aviation issues could compromise airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other stakeholders of an operating airport.

Please consider appointing some diversity to the Commission with a woman and someone that has knowledge of aviation operations. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Kate Scott
Santa Monica Resident

In addition, I also feel that not having someone with a technical aviation background may also put the city and its residents in a position of liability if decisions made with respect to airport operations and infrastructure are not made based on experience, knowledge and fact. Eve's background supports all of this, plus holds legal weight as a licensed attorney in the State of California.

Subject: Regarding Agenda Item Number 16.A.a. – June 28, 2022 City Council Meeting Dear Santa Monica City Council:

August 28, 2022, will mark the ten-year anniversary since City Council appointed a woman to serve on the airport commission. As the commission that acts “…in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to the Municipal Airport and to aviation matters generally to the extent that they affect the City,” the commission deals with highly technical issues. Despite this, the composition of the current five-member Airport Commission is not reflective of the many stakeholders involved with the airport’s operation and issues. As such, the Commission in its current incarnation is ill-suited to provide relevant and informed guidance to our elected city decision makers.

The Council is inexplicably relying for advice on a Commission that lacks basic stakeholder representation. There is a complete absence of both aviation technical expertise and diversity in any dimension – racial, gender, or geographic. How is it that not even one woman or FAA licensed pilot and resident who actually uses the airport currently serves on the Commission?
The current composition of the Airport Commission is yet another reminder that our City Council is only capable of talking the talk. It is completely unable to walk the walk.

While “good governance, inclusiveness and best practices” are routinely espoused as core Council principles, the Council has excluded any requirement for the five-member commission to possess aviation knowledge or experience to serve, despite that fact that aviation is a highly regulated and technical area. Instead, Airport Commission Item 16.A

So, the question is, what is the City Council afraid of? Do they fear having even one commission member who may have differing points of view based on technical expertise? Do they fear having one person that may not have a knee-jerk affinity for closing the airport?
The “anti-airporters,” that continually clamor for the closing of the airport, are a small minority- numbering only a few hundred. Many,if not most, of the “anti-airporters” are concentrated around the airport. But one of the most active lives in Northern California! Motivations vary but do not reflect the broader city resident view.

Could it be that the City Council believes that by maintaining the monopoly of antiairport commissioners, the residents will be kept in the dark about the unique protections offered by the airport? For example, that keeping the airport open is the most assured way to protect against the development that both the area and the city overall is completely unprepared to handle? That by keeping the airport open as an airport, our local resources such as water, schools and police will not overburdened? Or, that keeping the airport open maintains a unique emergency resource that cannot be duplicated? The “anti-airporters” work hard to give the impression that their voices are the voices of the majority. But they are not.

Taken together, the current unrepresentative, and arguably unqualified Commission composition, is a complete disservice to the community, the residents and the to the Council itself.

This situation can be remedied at tomorrow's City Council meeting. City Council will make an appointment to fill one upcoming vacancy on the airport commission, which commission meets 10 times per year.

Several female pilot candidates, among others, have applied for the one open position.

Two other female applicants have applied, one of which has no relevant background or discernable interest whatsoever, and the other who has openly stated her desire to close the airport.That decision is for the Council to make, not a commissioner.

I understand that the incumbent, Chris Waller, will not be seeking re-appointment. His record on the Commission is a case study in why real stakeholders must be prioritized to occupy this important advisory group. Chris has a completely missed a significant number of airport commission meetings and attended parts of others. Moreover, he has a complete absence of any aviation knowledge.

Of the applicants, Eve Lopez, stands out as being the most qualified. Besides being a pilot and the mother of a SAMO High Student, she is also a lawyer, resident of Santa Item 16.A

The Council has the chance to do the right thing for itself, the city’s residents, and the other Commission members by selecting Ms. Lopez for this post. The Council can choose to walk the walk, as our mayor like to remind us. Or, the Council can choose to maintain an unrepresentative, non-diverse and technically illiterate Commission that will be unable to faithfully fulfil its mission and responsibility to the Council and the city’s residents

EXTERNAL
Council Member,
I write to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have the requisite knowledge to properly represent both the citizens of Santa Monica and the users of Santa Monica Airport. She also represents a diverse viewpoint on the issues affecting the airport ,both as a user and member of under-represented classes of people, whose voices are often not heard or ignored.

Her knowledge as a pilot provides the unique perspective of the value of aviation to a community. One that the current Airport Commission does not have. The actions of the past few years have demonstrated that the Airport Commission does not value the airport and has made decisions contrary to the financial well being of the City of Santa Monica. The Removal of jet traffic cost the community several million dollars in revenue.

As a pilot, I used to fly into Santa Monica Airport on a regular basis to use restaurants, buy fuel, attend entertainment events, participate in meetings and visit friends. I no longer do those things because of the policies put in place by the Airport Commission. I now hold meetings, and go to events more convenient for me to drive to outside the Santa Monica Area. The decisions of the Airport Commission have widespread impacts beyond the boundaries of the City of Santa Monica,. Please keep this in mind when you appoint your new Commissioner.

Ms. Lopez will be able to bring ideas on how the airport can continue to service not just Santa Monica, but the entire Southern California area while respecting the needs of the neighbors. Although I do not live in Santa Monica, the Airport is important to me and I hope my voice can be heard and considered.

Given the complete absence of anyone with an aviation background, I also wish to note that two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds do not meet the basic needs that this commission currently has – which is a clear understanding of the issues and a voice for the users of the airport.

Marie Manvel does not meet these criteria and has submitted applications for 11 of the city’s 25 Boards and Commissions. She clearly is interested in having a voice in civic activities but would be better suited for a commission which does not need technical knowledge of aviation and how it works.

Diane Reynolds, would be a disservice to the council to appoint since she has a clearly stated agenda to close the airport. A person with this bias and lack of any understanding of aviation issues could compromise airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other stakeholders of an operating airport.

I strongly support Eve Lopez as the best candidate for the Airport Commission. She will provide balance and sound advice as they move forward into the future. I hope you will join me by appointing her to the Airport Commission.

Sincerely,
James A. Miller

RE: 6/28 agenda item 16-A: Airport Commission appointment The FOSP Board supports the appointment of Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission.

Ms. Reynolds is the only candidate who clearly supports airport closure and transition to park space. A choice for her is a choice for the future and a vision of transforming a diamond in the rough to a sparkling jewel.

The other candidates would promote the status quo and work to maintain the airport property as an airport that serves a privileged few instead of park/recreational space for the enjoyment of the many.

In 2014, Ms. Reynolds was an active volunteer with the successful community effort to pass Measure LC -- “It’s Our Land” -- https://itsourland.org/ -- https://2014.smvote.org/BallotMeasures/
“Shall the City Charter be amended to:
(1) prohibit new development on Airport land, except for parks, public open spaces and public recreational facilities, until the voters approve limits on the uses and development that may occur on the land; and
(2) affirm the City Council's authority to manage the Airport and to close all or part of it?”
Measure LC passed with more than 60% of the votes cast, and it defeated an opposing ballot Measure D, even though the community coalition was outspent 10 to 1 by aviation interests who supported Measure D and opposed Measure LC. The voters clearly mandated the desire for park/recreational uses.

Ms. Reynolds, a resident and stakeholder in Sunset Park for 25 years has been active in community service for decades.
• Her two children, Eli and Emma Brown, attended SMMUSD schools, and she volunteered with the school district and with the PTA.
• In 2008, she canvassed for the SMMUSD Measure R parcel tax, which combined and replaced the previous Measures Y and S parcel taxes, contained a CPI-U adjustment, and included a senior exemption.

06/28/22

8.A.c
Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: Written Comments (5247 : Board and Commission Annual Appointments 8.A. (20 mins)) • In 2020, she was invited by Peter James to serve on a working group regarding the relocation of the Public Landscape Maintenance Division. • Organized her local Neighborhood Watch group.
• As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for 25 years, Diane consults with First 5-LA, Connections for Children, and the L.A. County Department of Mental Health.

Even though an aviation background is not Ms. Reynolds’ primary asset, she is the child of an Alaskan bush pilot and someone who has lived near Santa Monica Airport for many years. She would add diversity to the current Airport Commission, following in the footsteps of Lael Rubin and Sunset Park residents Susan Hartley and Dr. Suzanne Paulson, all of whom have served on the Commission.

Sitting Airport Commissioners Joe Schmitz (retired Air Force Major) and Bruce Malarky (an instrument-rated commercial pilot, a 25-year Army flight instructor, and a former Los Alamitos Army Airfield Commander/Airfield Manager) will continue to add their aviation expertise to pertinent topics and agenda items.

Ms. Reynolds’ skills in organizing, providing education and training, helping teams navigate complex issues, and welcoming all voices in building the future, would be very helpful on the Airport Commission. She could support the Commission’s efforts to mitigate health impacts from the airport, promote sustainable uses, and prepare for the airport’s closure in 2029.

Again, the FOSP Board supports the appointment of Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission.

EXTERNAL
Item 16
Airport Commission Appointment
Support Diane Reynolds

Councilmembers,

The Santa Monica Airport2Park Foundation was formed shortly after the passing of Measure LC in 2014 to support and promote the creation of a great park on the land that is currently the Santa Monica Airport.

LC, approved by over 60% of the votes, installed in the City Charter that the airport land is to be used for park and recreational purposes.

Upon reviewing the applicants for the current Airport Commission vacancy, there is only one applicant who will advocate for the transition of the Santa Monica Airport to parkland upon its closure Dec. 31, 2028—Diane Reynolds.

With Airport land consisting of 227 acres, the City of Santa Monica has a once in a generation opportunity to create a park space to rival the greatest urban parks in the nation. The time to start planning is NOW. The Airport Commission will play a role in this transformation and we need a Commissioner with a like vision of the voting public—not a Commissioner who that will put aviation interests at the forefront.

Ms. Reynolds, a 25‐year resident of Santa Monica, worked on the LC campaign and has a long history of community service including PTA, Stairway to the Stars production, Measure R campaign. She also has primary interest in mitigating the environmental impact of the Santa Monica Airport in the interim prior to the airport closure.

Appointing Ms. Reynolds would be another step toward sustainable airport land use and creation of a great urban park.

Park space available for all to use and benefit from—not just by the privileged few airport users.

A person with this bias and lack of any technical understanding of aviation issues could compromise airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other stakeholders of an operating airport.

Its unfathomable that the airport commission continues to operate with complete lack of expertise. You wouldn’t allow a surgeon to your taxes, so why would you an airport to be run by individuals with no expertise in technical aviation. This must be corrected and it must be done immediately.

Subject: Regarding Agenda Item Number 16.A.a. – June 28, 2022 City Council Meeting

EXTERNAL
Dear Council Members,
I write to sincerely advocate for the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Santa Monica Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have a technical aviation knowledge about issues related to the operation of the airport.

As a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight West, based out of Santa Monica airport, she also provide free medical and compassion flights to cancer patients, and those with rare medical conditions, who need access to the cancer centers and medical center in LA.

Not only is Eve Lopez an exceptionally human being, she would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values. She would also understand the value of the future EVTOL aircraft (electric vertical take‐off landing) and could help the city usher in an electric future in aviation, as EVTOL continues to revolutionize inner city commute and human/cargo transport. Santa Monica has been a pioneer of aviation in the past, and could have an opportunity to become a pioneer again for electric aviation startups to promote a future of clean air electric aviation and a pollution free form of travel.

Given the complete absence of anyone else applying with a technical aviation background, I see a strong case to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. I also wish to note that two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds have no aviation background at all and do not meet the basic needs that this commission currently has – which is a clear understanding of aviation issues.

Subject: Recommendation for Santa Monica Airport Commission Candidate, Eve Lopez

EXTERNAL
Dear Council Member,
I am writing to encourage the Santa Monica City Council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. Eve is a Santa Monica resident and a pilot. I am understanding she would be the only Airport Commissioner with the technical knowledge about issues relating to the operation of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice that is in line with your council values.

I also wish to note the two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds do not appear meet the basic needs that this commission currently has – which is to act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to Santa Monica Municipal Airport and on related aviation matters to the extent they affect the City of Santa Monica.

Why? Because neither of these candidates has the aviation experience to fulfill this advisory role.

I am hearing candidate Marie Manvel has submitted applications for 11 of the city’s 25 Boards and Commissions. As she seems eager to get involved in city matters, perhaps she would be better suited for a non‐airport board or commission. I am also understanding that the other candidate, Diane Reynolds, has been very vocal about closing your airport.

Appointing this person with this bias and lack of aviation experience could compromise your airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other airport stakeholders.

The City of Redlands has an airport advisory board to advise their city council on matters relating to my home airport, Redlands Municipal. The Redlands City Council has recognized the need to have board members with aviation experience. There are currently 5 members of our 7‐person airport advisory board that have been or are active pilots.

The Redlands City Council has recognized the need for board members to have this skill to best advise them on matters relating to their airport.

On behalf of the members of our association and as a member of the local aviation community, I encourage you to appoint Eve Lopez to your airport commission for the same reason.

Sincerely,
Theodore Gablin
President, Redlands Airport Association
Chapter of the California Pilots Association.

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council:

Kate Scott should NOT be appointed to the Airport Commission. As a reminder, in October 2017, she filed a lawsuit against the SM City Council in Los Angeles Superior Court although it was later moved to U.S. District, California Central District. It halted and delayed the runway shortening project.

Eve Lopez should NOT be appointed to the Airport Commission. As a reminder, in April 2022, she filed a Brown Act Complaint against the SM Airport Commission based on her own misinformation.

Both Kate and Eve would be real problems on the Airport Commission, and I have no doubt that their participation would lead to further litigation against the City eventually.

Please appoint Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission. Her interests align with the City of Santa Monica and its residents. She was a volunteer who helped support Measure LC in 2014. Based on her excellent experience and qualifications (see her application) she would make an excellent advisor to City Council on all matters related to SMO. She would be especially helpful facing potential complexities along the path to closure of SMO in December 2028, per the:
(1) 2014 Charter Amendment and Measure LC (https://itsourland.org) (2) 2017 Consent Decree
(https://smofuture.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/0/1/31010165/2017_consent_decree.pdf) (3) 2017 SM City Council SMO Closure Resolution No. 11026 (CCS) (http://bit.ly/SMO-ClosureResolution) Thank you,

EXTERNAL
Dear Council Member:

I am writing to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have technical knowledge about issues related to the operation of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values.

I wish to note that the two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds do not meet the basic needs of the commission or an understanding of the issues.

Marie Manvel would clearly be better suited for a non‐airport board, having submitted applications for 11 of the 25 Boards and Commissions.

Diane Reynolds is only focused on closing the airport and as such, does not have the interests of most nearby residents and stakeholders of an operating airport.

Lately restrictions placed on airport operations have cost the city millions of dollars in lost revenue.

Please consider Eve Lopez as the one who is appointed to the Commission.

Sincerely,
Andrew Kopetzky

Item 16 Airport Commission Appointment
Support Diane Reynolds
Councilmembers,
The choice is clear.

Only one applicant clearly supports the transformation of Santa Monica Airport land into a great Park.

That applicant is Diane Reynolds.

The public wants more playing fields and park space. Over 60% of the voters passed Measure LC affirming their desire for recreation and park space on airport land.

We don’t need a Commissioner who is an aviation advocate. We need a Commissioner to help usher in the next chapter for the airport land—park land for the enjoyment of all.

Dear Council Member, June 27, 2022
I have been a USA pilot since 1977; a New Zealand pilot in 1983. I am a naturally born USA citizen. My parents worked for UNICEF in 1947, when I was born. I was the President of the only group (org) in the World to teach 320 youth to become pilots for free.

They now fly worldwide from Russia to Australia and USA and South America. I am now the Managing Member of another Non-profit teaching kids to fly, Space Force, Inc. Kids learn to fly in small airports such as Santa Monica and Gillespie and Brown (KSDM).

Your airport is crucial to sustaining safe pilot training. Please keep it open.

I am writing to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission.

As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have technical knowledge about issues related to the operation of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values. I write to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission.

Additionally, I am informed Harrison Ford has numerous aircraft, some of which have been hangered at Santa Monica. For similar reasons, I suggest he be included as an ad hoc advisor.

Aviation
Ford touring the Air Force Museum in 2003
Ford is a licensed pilot of both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.[16] On several occasions, he has personally provided emergency helicopter services at the request of local authorities in Wyoming, in one instance rescuing a hiker overcome by dehydration.[5] Item 16.A

Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: Written Comments (5247 : Board and Commission Annual Appointments 8.A. (20 mins)) 2 Ford began flight training in the 1960s at Wild Rose Idlewild Airport in Wild Rose, Wisconsin, flying in a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer, but at $15 an hour (equivalent to $134 in 2021), he could not afford to continue the training.[83] In the mid-1990s, he bought a used Gulfstream II and asked one of his pilots, Terry Bender, to give him flying lessons. They started flying a Cessna 182 out of Jackson, Wyoming, later switching to Teterboro, New Jersey, flying a Cessna 206, the aircraft in which he made his first solo flight.[84] External video
video icon Ford's Bell 407GX
Ford's aircraft is kept at Santa Monica Airport.[85] The Bell 407 is often kept and flown in Jackson and has been used by the actor in two mountain rescues during his assigned duty time with Teton County Search and Rescue. On one of the rescues, Ford recovered a hiker who had become lost and disoriented. She boarded Ford's helicopter and promptly vomited into one of the rescuers' caps, unaware of who the pilot was until much later; "I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter!" she said later.[86] Ford flies his de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver (N28S) more than any of his other aircraft, and has repeatedly said that he likes this aircraft and the sound of its Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine.[87] According to Ford, it had been flown in the CIA's Air America operations and was riddled with bullet holes that had to be patched up.[88] In March 2004, Ford officially became chairman of the Young Eagles program of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Ford was asked to take the position by Greg Anderson, Senior Vice President of the EAA at the time, to replace General Chuck Yeager, who was vacating the post that he had held for many years. Ford at first was hesitant, but later accepted the offer and has made appearances with the Young Eagles at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh gathering at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for two years. In July 2005, at the gathering in Oshkosh, Ford agreed to accept the position for another two years. He has flown over 280 children as part of the Young Eagles program, usually in his DHC-2 Beaver, which can seat the actor and five children. Ford stepped down as program chairman in 2009 and was replaced by Captain Chesley Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff Skiles. He is involved with the EAA chapter in Driggs, Idaho, just over the Teton Range from Jackson, Wyoming.

On July 28, 2016, Ford flew the two millionth Young Eagle at the EAA AirVenture convention.[89]
As of 2009, Ford appears in Internet advertisements for General Aviation Serves America, a campaign by the advocacy group Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).[90] He has also appeared in several independent aviation documentaries, including Wings Over the Rockies (2009),[91] Flying The Feathered Edge: The Bob Hoover Project (2014) and Living in the Age of Airplanes (2015).[92]
Ford is an honorary board member of the humanitarian aviation organization Wings of Hope,[93] and is known for having made several trips to Washington, D.C., to fight for pilots' Item 16.A

Hello
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Jose C Torres I'm a pilot l own 3 three aircraft and have my A&P license, I currently keep our aircrafts at KWHP, we use our aircrafts during the operation of our business, my son and myself own the business for over 38 years and use them to travel to different locations throughout California and other States. Our company has contracts that needs to be service on a monthly, quarterly or annually.

Sometimes we provides routine service to local and government agencies. One of the areas airport that we use is KSMO as one of our airport we land to provide our services to agencies in the area. When we land we need services too like fuel, food, rental car sometimes tools and materials are purchased to complete our job task. i know it doesn't sound like much but as a business owner every little bit helps the bottom line, It's really sad that the people of Santa Monica have no idea how much money comes in because of this airport and because people like us. I meet so many people in business like ourselves who are doing the same by flying into KSMO conducting business in the City of Santa Monica they use the airport to do there business in the City of Santa Monica. It's a shame that the airport is scheduled for closing 2035. If this happens I'll probably stop doing business in the area because of the time that it takes for us to drive the 405 we could have completed one two of our service stops. It's very hard to drive with all the traffic and I'm sure that with the airport closing they'll probably building homes and condo's.more traffic less time to do business.

I hope you can understand why we would like to keep using Santa Monica airport as one of our landing points.

If you would like to contact us feel free to.

Thank you

As relates to Diane Reynolds, I believe it would be a disservice to the council to appoint a non‐technical person who is only focused on closing the airport.

Subject: Airport Commission Appointee

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council Member,
I am writing you in support of Eve Lopez as a candidate for the Santa Monica Airport Commission. As a technical advisory group, the Airport Commission should have at least one commissioner who is a current, active pilot and user of Santa Monica Airport.

In its current form, there is not one member of the SM Airport Commission who is an active pilot and user of SMO.

Unlike other technical boards and commissions in the City, the Airport Commission oddly requires no specific aviation experience. The Airport Commission would clearly benefit from requiring aviation expertise from the majority of members. All that is currently required to apply is residency and not being a paid City employee.

The Airport Commission consists of five (5) members appointed by the City Council. They must be residents of the City of Santa Monica and none of whom shall hold paid office or employment in the City government.

Applicant Marie Manvel has applied to multiple commissions and would be a better suited for a non‐airport board or commission. Applicant Diane Reynolds is also a non‐aviator who lacks any technical knowledge and/or experience with airport operations, etc.

Applicant, Eve Lopez, as a long time resident, experienced and active pilot, and woman of color, would be the ideal appointee inline with Council values.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Christian Fry

Dear Council Members,
It has come to my attention that today you will be appointing a new airport commissioner.

It’s important that all of the City’s commissions deeply understand their issues and represent all residents. In the case of the airport commission, there are many important issues to be dealt with in the coming years while the Santa Monica Airport is open. But none of the current commissioners have any aviation experience. How can the city council trust the recommendations of a commission whose members have minimal working knowledge about how airports work? I urge the council to appoint someone who has relevant knowledge and represents the City’s diverse interests. I have seen Eve Lopez in action and I believe she would be a fantastic choice. But I’d welcome anyone who brings a deep understanding to all of the aviation‐related issues the commission is faced with—and can also identify other issues that the current commission might not even anticipate.

Sincerely,
Krisztina Holly

Dear Council Members,
I would like to endorse both Erik Neandross and Robert Lempert to be extended for another term on the Commission on Sustainability, Environmental Justice and the Environment. While both have served for some time with proven expertise and track record on the Task Force for the Environment, the newly minted Commission during the time of Covid lock‐ down was mostly dormant with few meetings. It is only this year that meetings have resumed more regularly and they are invaluable to the Commission. I think it would be prudent to continue the Commission's work with their strong expertise and invaluable understanding of the work being done as part of the solidifying of the Commission's cohesiveness.

That is my recommendation as both a new member of the Commission and a citizen of the City of Santa Monica.

Good morning Council Members:

I would like to recommend appointment of Erik Neandross and Rob Lempert to the Commission on Sustainability, Environmental Justice and the Environment given their unique expertise.

Mr. Neandross is an expert in alternative fuel, clean transportation and energy. His expertise will be invaluable to the City as it continues transitioning its fleet to clean transportation to meet its clean energy goals as part of the Sustainability City Plan and limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr. Lempert is an expert in climate change. Mr. Lempert can provide insight on climate change modeling, the effects of climate change globally and on the resources within the City of Santa Monica aiding long term planning.

Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: ⚠ 16-A: Mayor must recuse herself from HC appointments due to self-reported bias

EXTERNAL
Mayor Himmelrich must recuse herself from item 16-A (Housing Commission appointments) due to a long personal history, and a well documented and self-reported bias concerning the Housing Commission.

Due to this bias, Mayor Himmelrich recently attempted to suspend the Housing Commission – once her husband was no longer on it and the Mayor's political affiliates lost the majority on it.

Additionally, the Mayor has recently stated her desire to dissolve the Housing Commission altogether – now that she has no political influence over it. This was a year after the Mayor’s husband advocated before the Council for the Housing Commission to be able to return to its normal operations, i.e. monthly meetings, due to the important role of the Commission and the substantial workload the Commission is faced with amid the affordability and homelessness crises. The Council agreed with the Mayor’s husband at the time…
Here’s the Mayor’s dramatic and emotional recusal from a Housing Commission related item four months ago when the Council attempted to remove Leonora Camner from the Housing Commission:

Because of that, I have become personally embroiled in this controversy and have a strong bias around this item, that I can’t separate from my personal feelings, which are very strong and very hurt, and I am therefore recusing myself from this matter.

Date: Tuesday, June 28, 2022 11:41:26 AM

EXTERNAL
Last night at the Airport Commission meeting, when three women were to speak on Item 9, the Chair of the Commission attempted to cut their time short.

This was a blatant effort to stifle public comment and was conducted in a manner that was deliberate and unjustified.

I sat in the chamber and was less than shocked, since it was already horrific to watch these men state factual errors and then proceed to make decisions based on misinformation.

Do we seek disfunction in our government? Are we afraid of women with knowledge and skills that can contribute real world experience and facts to our commissions? Eve Lopez is a resident, pilot and user of the airport. She will bring balance and factual information to the commission.

An imbalance in government brings us the Supreme Court we now have.

All I ask for is a fair and balanced commission with experienced commissioners.

The Airport Commission has no member that understands current aviation technology and operations at the Santa Monica Airport.

Last night, one commissioner tried to defend the aviation credibility of another member.

If you don’t know what aviation knowledge looks like, how do you know it when you see it? Again, last night, not one word was said about safety or improving safety or mitigation of noise.

This commission is currently a liability and not an asset.

Please appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission

Why is there is not a woman on the airport commission or anyone with current aviation experience? We have white men with zero vision for safety, electric aviation and are spinning a yarn of myths. They waste our City Staff resources with baseless projects that accomplish nothing but waste money.

In 2011, The Airport Commission spent $70,000 with Rand on a consultant brief
https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/documented_briefings/2012/RAND _DB639.pdf
This was a waste of money since the Airport Commission did not like the findings of the brief and lambasted the authors. The Rand report suggested the airport land had multitude of long term values if properly managed
We need a balanced Airport Commission to spend money in an ethical manner and have a flow of information that is of value to everyone.

There is zero down side to adding a woman pilot who has current aviation experience to the airport commission. The upside, we would have a safer and quieter airport.

Subject: June 28 Meeting Agenda #16.A.a. - Support for Eve Lopez Date: Tuesday, June 28, 2022 11:22:44 AM

EXTERNAL
Dear Council member,
I am writing to support the nomination of Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. Eve will bring her great talent, experience, knowledge, and insight, to the Airport Commission. As a Santa Monica resident living just west of the runway, Eve is acutely aware of the critical issues and challenges relating to the airport and its impact on the Santa Monica community.

As a Santa Monica mother and resident, she will put the focus on the well-being of families and our children in helping to guide the council towards the future.

Eve has experience working with and serving on boards, she has a proven record of volunteering for social causes, and she has the deep know-how and understanding of aviation that none of the other candidates possess (other than Kate Scott, who is also knowledgeable and has a great history in public service and volunteering to serve and give back).

Eve's involvement and local knowledge of all things related to Santa Monica shows by the depth of her application - unmatched by any of the other candidates. The fact that Eve applied earlier than any other candidate, by more than 4 months, is a telling example of her diligence and dedication.

Eve is committed, diligent, and hard-working. Eve's work ethic will make the Council's work easier and more streamlined, because she will always present an even and fair approach and analysis, measured and balanced after taking in all data and all relevant factors.

The data-driven and locally-insight-based analysis that the council can expect from appointing Eve Lopez or Kate Scott is necessary and will make the council's work more efficient.

I strongly encourage the Council to appoint Eve Lopez. She will be an asset; and the City, the Commission, and the Council, will all benefit tremendously from her participation. If for any reason the Council is not inclined to appoint Eve, I also strongly support the appointment of dedicated civil servant Kate Scott.

Best regards,
Alon Hacohen

Dear Council Members,

As relates to Diane Reynolds, I believe it would be a disservice to the council to appoint a non‐technical person who is only focused on closing the airport. A person with this bias and lack of any technical understanding of aviation issues could compromise airport operations with decisions and recommendations that may not be in the best interests of the nearby residents and other stakeholders of an operating airport.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Dear Council Members,

I write to encourage the council to appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have a technical knowledge about issues related to the operation of the airport. She would also be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values.

EXTERNAL
In February 2022 the Council attempted to boot Ms. Camner from the Housing Commission.

Surprisingly, none of the sponsors of the item articulated the reason why Ms. Camner should be removed from the Commission.

Let me state it here:

Ms. Camner draws a salary to direct the operations of a legislative advocacy organization called Abundant Housing LA, whose goal and purpose is to advance through legislation a specific political agenda: one of forced urban density.

What better way to advance such an agenda than to get on an advisory body to the City Council, e.g. the Housing Commission, and influence legislation this way? Ms. Camner has been using the Santa Monica Housing Commission as a platform to advance the goals of her organization, e.g. upzoning, which is a wealth transfer from the public to the private sector.

Abundant Housing LA’s 2021 Annual Report reads in part,

“In 2021, we co-sponsored AB 1401, a bill to reform local parking requirements, and mobilized members to support SB 9 and 10. The victories of SB 9 and 10 were a major victory and a symbolic renouncement of the exclusionary single family zoning, driving housing scarcity and high costs throughout the state. Finally, AHLA formed a PAC, and is planning to make endorsements and campaign for pro-housing candidates in 2022. In order to make a difference in the 2022 elections, we will need all hands on deck! Please get involved in volunteering and campaigning for housing change.”

For the past six months, since there was a political shift within the Housing Commission due to new appointments, Ms. Camner has been engaging in disruptive behavior during Commission meetings.

For example, she used an agenda item to launch into a seven-minute monologue about an issue unrelated to the agenda item. When reminded by the presiding officer that she was off topic and the Commission had to move on, Ms. Camner threw a tantrum claiming that her right to free speech was infringed upon. She later proceeded to file an unsubstantiated formal complaint with the city regarding the incident. The truth about what transpired is available for anyone – the video of the Commission meeting can be watched online.

Recently Ms. Camner vigorously opposed the proposal by one of the commissioners to invite a guest to speak on the cost of housing in Santa Monica. Ms. Camner does not like the proposed speaker.

Ms. Camner attempted to blackmail the Commission by saying that if that guest is invited, another guest must also be invited, one that she likes and approves of… Item 16.A

Though the City of Santa Monica and the FAA have a standing agreement to close SMO with the cessation of obligations under the FAA’s Grant Assurance rules, the city still has a fiduciary responsibility to have representation versed in matters pertaining to airport management & operations, until such time that SMO is closed.

To: Mayor Himmelrich and City Council members
From: Gavin and Nicola Scott
RE: 6/28 agenda item 16-A: Airport Commission appointment We support the appointment of Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission because she is the only candidate who clearly supports airport closure and transition to park space. A choice for her is a choice for the future and a vision of transforming a diamond in the rough to a sparkling jewel.

In 2014, Ms. Reynolds was an active volunteer with the successful community effort to pass Measure LC -- “It’s Our Land” -

Measure LC passed with more than 60% of the votes cast, and it defeated an opposing ballot Measure D, even though the community coalition was outspent 10 to 1 by aviation interests who supported Measure D and opposed Measure LC. The voters clearly mandated the desire for park/recreational uses.

Ms. Reynolds, a resident and stakeholder in Sunset Park for 25 years has been active in community service for decades. Her two children, Eli and Emily Brown, attended SMMUSD schools, and she volunteered with the school district and with the PTA.

In 2008, she canvassed for the SMMUSD Measure R parcel tax, which combined and replaced the previous Measures Y and S parcel taxes, contained a CPI-U adjustment, and included a senior exemption.

She organized her local Neighborhood Watch group.

Again, we support the appointment of Diane Reynolds to the Airport Commission.

Sincerely,
Gavin and Nicola Scott,

Dear Council Members,
Please appoint Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission.

As a pilot and resident, she has the technical knowledge related to the operation of the airport and the only woman on the commission and a woman of color.

Two other candidates, Marie Manvel and Diane Reynolds do not meet the basic needs of this commission. We need people who understand how to manage this resource for the whole community and not just provide a biased and small set of residents.

We in Santa Monica value the full communities input, not just load vocal minorities or rich greedy developers.

Its about time we elect people who represent us all
e.g 1. Marie Manvel has submitted applications for 11 of the city’s 25 Boards and Commissions and better better suited for a non‐airport board or commission.
e.g. 2 Diane Reynolds is only focused on closing the airport which is NOT in the best interest of all of us. She is a poor candidate to represent all our views

I write to encourage you to vote for the appointment of Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission. As a pilot and resident, she would be the only Airport Commissioner to have an aviation background and the technical knowledge about issues related to the operation of the Santa Monica Airport.

Additionally, she would be the only woman on the commission and, as a woman of color, would represent a fully inclusive choice in line with Council values.

You may ask why I'm involved. I believe that Santa Monica Airport has been, and must remain, a part of the future aviation of this country. I’ve been a pilot for 52 years and served in the U.S. Navy as a Naval Flight Officer for 30 years, retiring as a Captain. I also instructed at National Test Pilot School for 14 years, teaching advanced aircraft technology subjects to aviation professionals from around the world, including many of the FAA’s Test Pilots and Flight Test Engineers. The world-wide aviation industry is currently at an infliction point in technology. Many newly-designed air vehicles will be required in the future, and they will replace the current fleet with more efficient and technologically advanced systems, providing immense benefit to communities who have the foresight to make local operating facilities (currently called airports) available.

Your Santa Monica Council has many decisions to make for the future, and would be well served by the appointment of Eve Lopez to the Airport Commission, to aid in making important, technical, decisions supporting the citizens of Santa Monica.

When you make your selections for new members of the PublicSafety Reform & Oversight Commission this week, please please keep in mind that we no longer need members of the "old guard" with old time attitudes toward policing. We do need members who are forward thinking and are ready for 21st. century reform!! Hoping you'll decide accordingly,

Subject: July 14 City Council Meeting Item 8A Commission Appointments: Landmarks Commission

EXTERNAL
Dear Councilmembers,
One of the vacancies on the Landmarks Commission is a position dedicated to an architectural historian, as required by the Santa Monica landmarks ordinance. This position was last held by Dr. Kenneth Briesch, who retired in June. An application has been submitted by a former student of his who received a certificate in historic preservation from USC. I am writing to ask for your support for the appointment of Jonathan Kaplan as architectural historian on the Landmarks Commission.

Jonathan Kaplan has outstanding qualifications for this position. His current employment is with the Los Angeles Department of Historic Resources, where he is responsible for the management of five historic districts (which they call HPOZs). His charge is to work with property owners to ensure that the historic preservation guidelines are followed and to assist them in making changes to their structures that they may initiate. He is not only thoroughly familiar with historic preservation principles and practice, but also with working with property owners, thereby engaging in balancing preservation with change that is the very essence of connecting the past with the future.

I myself served as Landmarks Commission architectural historian and realize that finding a volunteer in this field with professional experience is very challenging. I met with Jonathan Kaplan and was impressed by his dedication and understanding, as well as his desire to serve the community in which he resides. I urge your support of his appointment.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I was gratified that I received a unanimous vote for appointment to the Library Board in February, 2022. Since I was filling a term that ended on June 30, 2022, I have applied for re‐appointment. I hope to again have your support so that I might serve a full term on the Board. At our Library Board meeting last week, I was elected Chair and look forward to the opportunity to support our dedicated library staff, and be a strong advocate for our libraries.

Your action at budget adoption to direct one‐time funds to expand service hours is an important signal to the community that you have heard from residents and are committed to restore the central place the libraries hold in our City, as funding permits. This action is a big boost for library staff morale. We are all grateful for your leadership on this issue.

Best regards,

Council Members,
I am writing to express concern regarding who might be chosen to be a member of the PSROC tonight. As you probably realize, there are members on the PSROC currently who do not actually want to take a serious look at police policies and actions. There are some whose words and actions indicate that they do not wish to fulfill the mandate of this commission.

They have been effective in slowing and in some cases stopping any possibility for meaningful reform. To reform something one first needs to be willing to look at what is happening without fear of what you might find.

I have 3 suggestions.

1. This Commission needs to have at least one, possibly 2 members who are black, if this Commission has a chance at making meaningful change. (Craig A. Walter, Xavier H.

Bannister)

2. This Commission could benefit from an incredibly skilled researcher who has been involved in Police Reform for many years (Including regular meetings with the various Police Chiefs) (Michelle Wittig)

3. This Commission has already benefitted greatly from a highly skilled and courageous member who has worked diligently and steadily to fulfill the Commissions mandate, in spite of the tremendous obstacles continually placed before the Commission (Incumbent: Craig Miller)
Tonight you have a choice to move towards reform, or leave things status quo. Status Quo is more comfortable to many of us who benefit from it. Change is uncomfortable and it takes courage.

I appreciate the courage you've had in the past and look forward to it tonight.

With appreciation for your thoughtfulness on this important matter, --

Subject: 8-A: OPPOSE reappointment of Leonora Camner to Housing Commission Date: Thursday, July 14, 2022 11:38:01 AM

EXTERNAL
In February 2022 the Council attempted to boot Ms. Camner from the Housing Commission.

Surprisingly, none of the sponsors of the item articulated the reason why Ms. Camner should be removed from the Commission.

Let me state it here:

What better way to advance AHLA's agenda than to get on an advisory body to the City Council, e.g. the Housing Commission, and influence legislation this way? Ms.

Camner has been using the Santa Monica Housing Commission as a platform to advance the goals of her organization, e.g. upzoning, which is a wealth transfer from the public to the private sector.

Abundant Housing LA’s 2021 Annual Report reads in part, “In 2021, we co-sponsored AB 1401, a bill to reform local parking requirements, and mobilized members to support SB 9 and 10. The victories of SB 9 and 10 were a major victory and a symbolic renouncement of the exclusionary single family zoning, driving housing scarcity and high costs throughout the state. Finally, AHLA formed a PAC, and is planning to make endorsements and campaign for pro-housing candidates in 2022. In order to make a difference in the 2022 elections, we will need Item 8.A

For the past six months, since there was a political shift within the Housing Commission due to new appointments, Ms. Camner has been engaging in disruptive behavior during Commission meetings. For example, she used an agenda item to launch into a seven-minute monologue about an issue unrelated to the agenda item.

When reminded by the presiding officer that she was off topic and the Commission had to move on, Ms. Camner threw a tantrum claiming that her right to free speech was infringed upon. She later proceeded to file an unsubstantiated formal complaint with the city regarding the incident. The truth about what transpired is available for anyone – the video of the Commission meeting can be watched online.

Recently Ms. Camner vigorously opposed the proposal by one of the commissioners to invite a guest to speak on the cost of housing in Santa Monica. Ms. Camner does not like the proposed speaker. Ms. Camner attempted to blackmail the Commission by saying that if that guest is invited, another guest must also be invited, one that she likes and approves of…
Both Ms. Camner and her organization Abundant Housing LA have been under investigation by the Fair Political Practices Commission since June 30, 2021 – for over a year now.

EXTERNAL
Mayor Himmelrich must recuse herself from item 8-A (Housing Commission appointments) due to a long personal history, and a well documented and selfreported bias concerning the Housing Commission.

Due to this bias, Mayor Himmelrich recently attempted to suspend the Housing Commission – once her husband was no longer on it and the Mayor's political affiliates lost the majority on it.

Santa Monica City Council Meeting February 22, 2022 – starting at 8:09:56.

Text of the Mayor's recusal on 2/22/22:
“I’ll be recusing from item 13-G. This has been very painful for me. I want you to know Santa Monica City Council Meeting February

I believe that this Council mistreated my husband to advance the political agendas of various of its members when it refused to let him serve out his term on the Housing Commission. Because of that, I have become personally embroiled in this controversy and have a strong bias around this item, that I can’t separate from my personal feelings, which are very strong and very hurt, and I am therefore recusing myself from this matter. Thank you.” Mayor Himmelrich can't have it both ways, i.e. recuse herself from a Housing Commission/Leonora Camner related item due to self-reported inability to be objective, and now participate in the appointments to the Housing Commission, especially since Leonora Camner's application for reappointment will be considered.

The Mayor's long history of bias related to the Housing Commission must stop now – she must recuse herself from participating in the annual appointments to the Housing Commission.

Dear City Council Members,
I’m writing to you again about tonight’s Council agenda items 8A and 8C.

I am asking you to consider 3 candidates for the 3 openings in the Public Safety Reform & Oversight Commission. I am very well acquainted a person who has years of experience in dealing with police reform issues and would be an active and helpful member to this commission – namely, Michele Wittig. She is a smart and balanced researcher and would be a most valuable asset to the body. Likewise, I have known Craig A. Walter for years and find him to be a most thoughtful, knowledgeable, and committed Black man when it comes to justice issues. I haven’t known Craig Miller as long, but have found him to be very committed to the work of this commission, always present at meetings and a subcommittee chair. These 3 people would be of much help to the PSROC.

And to repeat what I said in an earlier email to you all, Paul Winnemore has submitted an application to become a voting member of the PSROC. My understanding is that the SM Police Officers’ Association was given the opportunity to name who would sit on the commission as a non-voting member. He was their and Chief Batista’s choice. If he is placed into a voting slot on the commission, would not the POA expect to be able to nominate another non-voting person to that slot? All of this would raise further questions about whether or not there is a good faith attempt in Santa Monica to have civilian oversight of police. I think it would not be in the spirit of the formation of this still new commission to move Mr. Winnemore into a voting slot.

It is important to add other clear voices of reform to this body.

Thank you for reading this,
Joanne Berlin

Steven has been active in both youth and adult sports in Santa Monica for many years, as both a player and as a coach.

I agree with the Goals that Steven listed in his impressive application, and I think he would be a very valuable addition to the Commission.

I also support the re-appointment of Andrew Gomez and John C. Smith to the Commission.

City Council,
I would personally like to endorse Steven Johnson for the Parks and Recreation candidacy. He has been in the community for many years as a coach for AYSO and Santa Monica Girls Fast Pitch, as well as being the leader in the community for men’s and women’s rugby. We have worked together for many years on the FSAC, and this is where I was able to get to know him best.

Dear City Council Members ,
I am writing to express two concerns I have about the vote to take place on Tues., 6/14, to fill a vacancy on the SM Public Safety Reform and Oversight Commission.

The first concern is that there is currently only one Black male on the commission. As a group, they need to have voices on this important and historic commission. To my knowledge, there are two Black men who have applied: Craig A. Walter and Xavier H. Bannister. I hope you will either nominate one of these applicants or, at least, vote for one who is nominated. There is nothing wrong with having two black men on this commission. It would signal to the Committee For Racial Justice that the city council is taking the work of this commission seriously and trying to help it succeed by providing input from a Black male perspective. If this argument is not persuasive to you, I would then ask you to consider another candidate for this position who has years of experience in dealing with police reform issues and would be an active and helpful member to this commission – namely, Michele Wittig. It is important to add another clear voice of reform to this body.

My other related concern is that I noticed Paul Winnemore has submitted an application to become a voting member of the PSROC. My understanding is that the SM Police Officers’ Association was given the opportunity to name who would sit on the commission as a non‐voting member. He was their and Chief Batista’s choice. If he is placed into a voting slot on the commission, would not the POA expect to be able to nominate another non‐voting person to that slot? All of this would raise further questions about whether or not there is a good faith attempt in Santa Monica to have civilian oversight of police.

Agenda Item: 12.A

To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, City Planning
Subject: Adoption of Resolutions and Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance to adopt the Ocean Avenue Project Development Agreement Recommended Action
It is recommended that the Council take the following actions:

1. Affirm that the Ocean Avenue Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15182 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;

2. Adopt a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the project in accordance with CEQA;

4. Adopt a resolution amending the 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP) for consistency with the 2010 General Plan and 2017 Downtown Community Plan standards for the project site; and

5. Introduce an ordinance for first reading to adopt Development Agreement 13DEV-004 for the Ocean Avenue Project.

Executive Summary
The City Council is asked to consider a proposed Development Agreement for a mixeduse development at the northeast corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean Avenue (“Ocean Avenue Project”). The project is designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry and presents a carefully studied and creative integration of iconic architecture for new construction and adaptive reuse of historic buildings; hotel, dining, and retail uses; a Cultural Uses Campus designed to present world-class exhibitions and programs; housing for a range of income levels and household sizes; and a variety

12.A
Packet Pg. 241
2 of 52
of publicly accessible open spaces, including a rooftop observation deck that provides a publicly accessible 360° viewpoint of the Santa Monica Bay and beyond.

A development agreement is a contract between the City and a developer that authorizes the type and amount of development that may occur within a specific period of time. Development agreements provide developers with guaranteed development rights in exchange for community benefits. A development agreement must comply with the General Plan but can establish different development standards than provided by zoning regulations. A development agreement can provide greater opportunity to advance local planning policies compared to standard planning entitlements. It is similar to other public review processes where the City Council makes the final decision with the exception that the City Council has more discretion in imposing conditions and requirements on the project since development agreements are negotiated contracts.

The proposed Ocean Avenue Project Development Agreement is provided as Attachment D.

The Applicant, M. David Paul Associates and Worthe Real Estate Group, submitted the Development Agreement application in February 2013 and the project has undergone an extensive City and community review process. Most recently, on May 18, 2022, the Ocean Avenue Project Rendering

12.A
Packet Pg. 242
3 of 52
Planning Commission made its unanimous recommendation to approve the project and outlined a series of project refinements for Council’s consideration, many of which the Applicant and staff support, and are reflected in the final project presented for Council’s consideration.

The proposed project is consistent with the City’s 2010 General Plan Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) and 2017 Downtown Community Plan (DCP) development parameters and negotiated community benefit priorities identified for the property which is identified as one of three Established Large Sites in the Downtown.

The development site is approximately two acres in size and located at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean Avenue with frontage through to Second Street.

The project presented with this report has been significantly revised and refined in response to community input conducted over the past nine years; updated land use regulations and policy objectives; City review of the circulation, complex historic preservation plan, and overall project design; and community benefit negotiations.

The 2017 Downtown Community Plan codified a rigorous public process for projects on three Established Large Sites to request consideration up to a height limit of 130 feet, subject to a Development Agreement, requirements for additional environmental review, and submittal of a detailed account of how the project meets the community benefit priorities identified for the project site in the DCP: cultural facilities, historic preservation, and affordable housing. Based on this framework, the proposed Development Agreement states the process and timing construction and provides the development standards, conditions, infrastructure, and negotiated community benefits required for the proposed project.

The project proposes a total of approximately 316,750 square feet (SF) of Floor Area, of which 243,630 SF is above grade, 4,940 SF is outdoor dining, and 68,180 SF is below grade. The project Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 2.95, which is 25.5% less than the DCP’s maximum 4.0 FAR permitted for the site. Building heights vary between 53’ and a maximum of 130’. The project includes on-site repositioning and rehabilitation of two

12.A
Packet Pg. 243
4 of 52
City-designated Landmarks that would be carefully integrated with the new Cultural Uses Campus. The Project also proposes re-routing of a portion of First Court alley through the project site to allow for a Pedestrian Mall on the southern portion of First Court adjacent to Santa Monica Boulevard. Key project components include the following:
• 120-room full-service hotel, including meeting/banquet space and spa; • 100 residential apartments, inclusive of:
o 11 rent-controlled units;
o 25 deed-restricted affordable units; and
o 64 market-rate units;
• An approximately 35,500 SF Cultural Uses Campus that includes a new museum building and the preservation, adaptive reuse, and on-site repositioning of two designated City Landmark Buildings;
• Approximately 36,100 SF of retail, restaurant, commercial space; • Pedestrian-oriented ground level open spaces;
• An approximately 5,000 SF publicly accessible rooftop observation deck; and • 285 subterranean parking spaces.

As discussed more fully in this report, substantial community benefits have been negotiated as part of the proposed project. The Development Agreement includes a negotiated community benefits package that has a conservative estimated value of $53.3 million. These community benefits align with the six priorities identified in the Downtown Community Plan and the site-specific benefits preferred for a development agreement project on the property.

The construction and commitment to operate a world-class Cultural Uses Campus and provide associated educational and community programming is an extraordinary community benefit that would serve to expand Santa Monica’s art and cultural offerings in a meaningful way for the life of the Project, and the project would contribute to the

12.A
Packet Pg. 244
5 of 52
City’s economic vitality in a significant way for many years to come. Other community benefits include the preservation and adaptive reuse of two designated Landmark Buildings, deed-restricted affordable housing units, sustainability features, local hiring program, internship program, a contribution to support economic equity initiatives, and publicly accessible open space.

The project was analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and this analysis is contained in the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (SCH No. 2018121060). An amendment to the 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan is necessary for consistency with 2010 General Plan and 2017 Downtown Community Plan parameters applicable to the project site.

Key Issues for Consideration
The Council should consider the following key issues in its review of the proposal:
• Whether the proposed project’s negotiated community benefits and mix of uses are consistent with LUCE placemaking objectives that reflect Santa Monica’s values of economic vitality, sustainability, housing for all, historic preservation, outstanding architecture, and safe and efficient all-mode mobility. • The degree to which the project features and negotiated community benefits are consistent with the Downtown Community Plan’s standards for an Established Large Site and the goals and policies that support Downtown as a high-quality, mixed-use district offering expanded opportunities for housing, jobs, arts and culture, and community/visitor gathering places.
• Whether the project appropriately preserves and integrates the two City Landmark Buildings into the Cultural Uses Campus.
• Whether the project supports the City’s public objectives for increasing economic investment, job creation, and City revenue generation to support community services and needs.

Project Site Information
The project site is approximately 82,500 SF in area and consists of eleven parcels bounded by Ocean Avenue to the west, Santa Monica Boulevard to the south, Second Street to the east, and existing commercial buildings to the north, including 1333 Ocean Avenue (Gussie Moran House) and 1332 Second Street. The project site is separated by First Court with approximately 350 feet of frontage on the east side of Ocean Avenue, 320 feet on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard, and 200 feet of frontage on the west side of Second Street.

As outlined on Table 1, there are four buildings on the project site: three commercial buildings (1327, 1333, and 1337 Ocean Avenue) and one mixed-use commercial and residential building at 101 Santa Monica Boulevard with 19 units that will be replaced as part of the project. There is a surface parking lot on the project site at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Second Street.
1333 Ocean Avenue – Landmark Victorian Residence
The circa 1906 structure located at 1333 Ocean Avenue was designated a City Landmark in August 2001 based on its qualities as a rare example of Queen Anne style Victorian architecture that serves as an important contributor to Ocean Avenue’s character and reflects the City’s early residential development pattern along Ocean Avenue at the turn of the twentieth century.
1337 Ocean Avenue – Landmark Spanish Colonial Revival-Style Commercial Building The Spanish Colonial Revival Style building located at 1337 Ocean Avenue was originally built with apartments above a ground level commercial space in 1926. The structure was designated a City Landmark in August 2004 as an early and excellent example of a mixed-use building along Ocean Avenue that reflects the period of development in the City when commercial development expanded to Ocean Avenue, a primarily residential street at the time. The building was also designated based on its architectural quality and its proximity to the two other early twentieth century Landmark structures on the block: the Victorian building and Gussie Moran House located at 1333 and 1323 Ocean Avenue.

Downtown Community Plan Framework
This section summarizes the Downtown Community Plan’s policy and regulatory framework that has served as the foundation for City review and Development Agreement negotiations since the Applicant’s submittal was revised to comply with the adopted 2017 DCP.

Some of the key DCP priorities include:
• Amplifying the role of historic preservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings;
• Prioritizing new housing for all household sizes and income levels; • Supporting a vibrant and expanded mix of commercial and cultural uses; • Creating more open spaces and a more pedestrian-oriented Downtown; and • Supporting safe and efficient mobility throughout the district.

Established Large Site Overlay
The DCP established a structured and rigorous public process for projects on three Established Large Sites to request consideration up to a height limit of 130 feet with

12.A
Packet Pg. 248
9 of 52
additional floor area, subject to a Development Agreement, additional environmental review, and the provision of significant priority community benefits outlined in the DCP:
• Publicly Accessible Open Space • Cultural Institutions • Affordable Housing • Historic Preservation
• Mobility and Circulation
The DCP requires conformance with site-specific development standards for each of the three Established Large Sites if an applicant proposes a Development Agreement for a project over the DCP’s Tier 2 standards. More discussion about the project’s consistency with DCP development parameters and priority community benefits identified for the project site is provided later in this report.

Background on Project Timeline and Process
Original Submittal - 2013
The public review process for the Applicant’s proposal included numerous steps to engage community members and policy makers on the Ocean Avenue Project following

12.A
Packet Pg. 249
10 of 52
the submittal of the Development Application in February 2013 for a project that proposed a 22-story (244’) central tower element, a hotel, commercial uses, 24 rental units and 22 condominium units, and rehabilitation of two designated City Landmark Buildings as components of a proposed museum campus. The Applicant hosted a Community Meeting in March 2013 to introduce the proposed project which was followed by the Architectural Review Board’s conceptual discussion of the proposal in August 2013.

Revised Project - 2018
Per Council direction, City review of the project was put on hold pending completion of the Downtown Community Plan which was subsequently adopted in July 2017. The Applicant submitted revised project plans in December 2017 that addressed early feedback, as well as programmatic changes (eliminating condominiums, increasing the overall number of housing units, and increasing the proposed number of deed-restricted affordable units) and design concept revisions compliant with the DCP’s new Established Large Sites Overlay regulations. The Applicant hosted a second Community Meeting to introduce this new project design in January 2018.

Courtesy Presentations and Council Direction to Proceed with Negotiations - 2018 Courtesy discussions regarding the new project design were held by the Architectural Review Board and the Landmarks Commission in February and March 2018. The Planning Commission held its preliminary concept discussion in May 2018.

The City Council discussed the project and gave authorization to staff to proceed with project negotiations and environmental review in June 2018.

A public Scoping Meeting was held by the City in January 2019 to gather community input on the potential impacts areas to study in the project’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR). A summary of comments from the three preliminary concept discussions is provided as Attachment B.

12.A
Packet Pg. 250
11 of 52
In summary, the Architectural Review Board, Landmarks Commission, and Planning Commission each provided comments in support of the new project design and continuing study and improvement of the project concept because it provides an important cultural facility as a community benefit and offers a beautiful design that represents the Applicant team’s thoughtful study of the site and the relationship between building height and open space, with an emphasis on the pedestrian experience.

Architectural Review Board members expressed interest in seeing the architectural design concept developed further to create a project that will prove to be a landmark of the 21st Century. Board and Commission members underscored the need for a project of the highest caliber that integrates the two Landmark Buildings but also creates a stronger architectural identity for the museum campus.

Planning Commissioners also stated that additional study would be required to ensure the project has an efficient and effective circulation plan for all modes that fits the Downtown’s complex mobility network and that sustainability will be an important component of the project. There was also preliminary discussion on how the project would satisfy the DCP’s community benefit priority for affordable housing and underscored that the project must be a place for people of all ages (programming, site planning, cultural campus, residential component, mix of uses).

Landmarks Commissioners expressed support for the new project concept and noted that through the ongoing process of design development, greater specificity will be needed regarding the treatment plan for the Landmark Buildings in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Commissioners agreed that there is an opportunity to carefully and appropriately integrate the Landmark properties and treat them in a manner that would “breathe new life” into the buildings, with a priority on providing public access to the buildings. Several Commission members also discussed whether the Landmark Buildings should be integrated into the project with limited exterior interventions/changes versus an imaginative treatment that responds more directly to the project’s contemporary architectural language. Commissioners agreed that the

12.A
Packet Pg. 251
12 of 52
unique capabilities of the architect in handling the Landmarks are a welcome component of the project and that there should be expressive design elements integrated into the plan for the Landmark Buildings.

Formal Planning Commission Recommendation – May 2022
Planning Commission’s formal recommendation hearing was held on May 18, 2022.

The Commission unanimously recommended cerification of the Enviornmental Impact Report and approval of the project. The Commission’s recommendations provide a series of refinements to the project but do not change the fundamental project vision, site design, mix of uses, or community benefits.

Attachment C to this reports provides the full text of the Planning Commission’s recommended modifications to Development Agreement terms, the proposed Local Coastal Plan amendment, and Final EIR. A summary of these modifications is provided.

There is also a brief discussion of the subset of Planning Commission recommendations not supported by staff. The Applicant has agreed to all modifications supported by staff; the Development Agreement and associated project materials presented with this report reflect incoporation of these recommendations.

Planning Commission Recommendations Supported by Staff

1. Enhanced Sustainability Measures:
a. Add the following new subsection is recommended to Development Agreement 2.7.11(c):

Developer shall report demand for EV chargers to the City as part of its annual Development Agreement compliance reporting required by Development Agreement Section 10.2. If demand for EV chargers increases beyond the number required in Development Agreement Section 2.7.11(c)(i), then Developer shall first install EV chargers in all or some of the EV ready spaces required by 2.7.11(c)(ii) and then in all or some of the raceway/conduit spaces required by Development Agreement

12.A
Packet Pg. 252
13 of 52

2.7.11(c)(iii) to the extent necessary to accommodate the additional demand. If demand for EV chargers increases beyond this 53% of vehicle spaces, then Developer shall be required to install additional EV chargers to meet the additional demand.
b. The Planning Commission recommended that the project include a practical water efficiency plan to reduce water consumption.

2. Bicycle Parking: Provide at least one of the stairways from the B1 level on the Second Street Parcel shall have a bicycle channel/runnel to the ground level to facilitate walking a bicycle up/down the stairway.

3. Enhance/Clarify Treatment of Historic Buildings:
a. Amplify the terms for restoration of character-defining features of the two designated Landmark Buildings in the event that additional work is recommended by the qualified historic preservation professional who is overseeing the project.
b. Clarify that the Project Applicant shall use good faith efforts to secure the voluntary cooperation of the owner of the adjacent Landmark property in allowing the Project Applicant to comply with the requirements of the mitigation measure to protect the structure during project construction. c. State that no fences, walls or hedges are allowed in the setback/open space area between the Queen Anne Landmark and Ocean Avenue or the Spanish Colonial Revival Landmark and Ocean Avenue.
d. Clarify that any member of the Landmarks Commission may be appointed to participate in the future ARB design review hearing(s), not just the Commission’s licensed architect.

12.A
Packet Pg. 253
14 of 52

4. Residential Unit Liveability: Confirm that all bedrooms in residential units shall have at least one window.

5. Construction Period: Require that during construction, the Project Applicant will use industry standard methods to monitor the effects of the construction on Palisades Park.

6. Environmental Review:
a. Revise the resolution adopting the Statement of Overriding Considerations to explain that the EIR’s determination of a significant transportation impact is based on the “level of service” methodology and that, pursuant to SB 743, the City uses the “vehicle miles traveled” methodology for projects commencing CEQA review after the City adopted its VMT screening criteria and thresholds in June 2020.
b. The Planning Commission recommended that their resolution recommending certification of the Final EIR also clearly state that the project is exempt from CEQA.

7. Deed-Restricted Affordable Housing: Include revised language presented in the Planning Commission’s supplemental staff report clarifying terms pertaining to the five deed-restricted Moderate Income units negotiated as a community benefit.

8. Economic Equity/Opportunity Initiative: Remove the staff-recommended reference to clean and safe Downtown initiatives as a potential way to utilize the $250,000 Economic Equity and Opportunity Contribution community benefit:
a. The City shall utilize this contribution to support economic equity and opportunity initiatives, or clean and safe Downtown initiatives, including but not limited to seed funding for economic opportunity initiatives to

12.A
Packet Pg. 254
15 of 52
support local entrepreneurs from disadvantaged communities, investments in community partnerships and non-profit organizations that support economic equity and opportunity initiatives, and other initiatives as determined by the City or as developed through current and future community processes. The City shall deposit such monies into a separate restricted account to be used exclusively for the economic equity and opportunity initiatives as described above through guidelines established by the City or through current and future community processes.

Planning Commission Recommendations Not Supported by Staff

1. Additional Floor Area Reduction: Agreement Section 6.1(b) states the design review process cannot result in a reduction of Floor Area greater than 2% of the total project Floor Area. The Planning Commission recommended language that would allow the Landmarks Commission or Architectural Review Board to potentially increase the maximum amount of floor area that can be eliminated through the design review process, provided that reduction occurs to the Cultural Use Campus lobby.

More specifically, the Planning Commission recommended the following in order to create more flexibility to evaluate the way the new construction integrates with the two Landmark Buildings:
• Reduction in size of the Cultural Uses Campus lobby up to 200 square feet shall not count against design review constraints on reduction of floor area for the Cultural Use component so long as it does not negatively impact feasibility or programming.

Staff does not support this recommendation because the Development Agreement already addresses the maximum amount of Floor Area than can be reduced through the design review process (up to 2% of the total Project Floor Area). Potential changes to the size or configuration of the Cultural Uses

12.A
Packet Pg. 255
16 of 52
Campus lobby that may be required as part of the design review process can fit within this parameter.

2. Use of Transportation Infrastructure Contribution: In order to support future mobility improvements along Ocean Avenue and in the Downtown, the Planning Commission made a recommendation regarding potential allocation of a portion of the project’s estimated $2.25 Million Transportation Infrastructure (TIF) Contribution negotiated for the project. More specifically, the Planning Commission recommended the following:
• In the absence of an alternative source of funding, up to 25% of the Enhanced Transportation Impact Fee shall be prioritized for the study and/or improvement of multimodal mobility on Ocean Avenue and circulation in the downtown area.

Transportation Infrastructure Contribution funds may be negotiated as part of a development agreement to support specific capital projects (e.g., Expo light rail station imrovements) or other projects that have been prioritized though the City’s adopted land use and circulation plans, capital improvement project (CIP) review, and budget process. An example is the City’s October 13, 2020 adoption of an amendment to the City’s Bike Action Plan that provides a Citywide FiveYear Protected Bikeway Vision. The Plan identifies Ocean Avenue between Pico Boulevard and Montana Avenue as a priority corridor for implementation of a protected bikeway within the five-year time horizon.

While Planning Commission’s language would direct funds to such a project, staff does not recommend making a decision on geographic priorties or areas for use of the project’s Transportation Infrastructure Contribution funds through this Development Agreement. It is important to maintain the City’s flexibility to direct funding sources to the full range of multimodal improvements needed in the City, which could include improvements on Ocean Avenue and in the Downtown.

3. Admission for the Publicly Accessible Rooftop Observation Deck: As part of community benefit negotiations for the publicly accessible rooftop observation deck, the Applicant has proposed to support Santa Monica public schools by charging up to $1.00 per person, subject to annual CPI adjustment, for access to the rooftop observation deck so long as 100% of the net income (i.e., income less expenses) is donated to the Santa Monica Education Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, or successor entity.

As detailed more fully in Attachment C, the Planning Commission recommends modifying this term to eliminate the $1.00 charge and its annual CPI adjustment.

Instead, the Commission recommends that the “Developer may request a voluntary donation from the public for access to the rooftop observation deck…”.

Staff supports the Applicant’s original proposal to charge up to $1.00 subject to annual CPI adjustment, provided that 100% of the net income is donated to support public schools. A shift to a voluntary donation would not be consistent with the Applicant’s commitment to support local public education through this project community benefit.

4. 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP) Amendment: In order to emphasize that the Ocean Avenue Project proposes significantly less Floor Area than the maximum FAR allowed for the Project Site, the Planning Commission recommends additional language as part of the Applicant’s proposed 1992 LUP amendment stating that the project’s 2.95 FAR is “…well within the maximum 4.0 FAR for this site in the City’s Downtown Community Plan and Local Coastal Program Update Land Use Plan, Final Draft, October 2018”.

Staff does not recommend inclusion of this additonal language. The City’s October 2018 Local Coastal Program LUP has not been reviewed and approved by the California Coastal Commission and therefore is not recognized by the Coastal Commission as an official regulatory document used to review projects within Santa Monica.

Project Description and Analysis
The project’s design concept, massing plan, and residential component has also evolved substantially since the project was originally submitted in 2013. During the public review process, the City has also conducted a parallel, comprehensive review of the project and worked with the Applicant in furtherance of the following three key principles:
• Facilitate a high-quality project that is consistent with publicly-vetted land use policies and goals and significantly advances Santa Monica’s values of economic vitality, sustainability, housing for all, historic preservation, outstanding architecture, and safe and efficient all-mode mobility. • Negotiate substantial community benefits that are consistent with the DCP’s priorities to create more opportunities to experience art and culture in Santa Monica, create new community/visitor gathering places, provide more affordable housing, and preserve and highlight Santa Monica’s historic character. • Facilitate economic investment, job creation, and City revenue generation to support community services in Santa Monica as our local economy remains in the initial phase of recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary of Project Components
The following is a summary of the proposed floor area allocation and mix of uses. The proposed project is a mixed-use hotel, cultural, retail and residential development that consists of the following key components, in conformance with the DCP’s Established Large Sites Overlay regulations and other policies and standards:
• Approximately 316,500 gross square feet, comprised of the following key uses:
o ~122,400 SF hotel

Components of City Review
Staff’s review of the proposed project began with evaluating the design concept presented with the original submittal and then again after the DCP was approved. City review was focused on the overall mix of uses, the schematic site plan with attention paid to vehicle circulation and pedestrian orientation, the massing strategy employed for the site, and the conceptual approach for treatment of Landmark Buildings. Over the past two years, staff’s role has shifted to coordinating all aspects of the City’s technical review, including circulation/mobility, establishment of the proposed pedestrian mall and the plan for rerouting vehicle and services access to Second Street, other aspects related to public works/utilities/right-of-way, the historic preservation plan, sustainability measures, and vehicle trip reduction measures. As presented later in this report, staff and the Applicant team have also spent significant time on development agreement and

12.A
Packet Pg. 260
21 of 52
community benefit negotiations, principally focused on the community benefit Cultural Uses Campus and deed-restricted affordable housing.

The following sections provide a snapshot of some of the key issues that staff and the Applicant team have worked through on the site plan in preparation for hearings on the Development Agreement.

Design Concept, Site Planning, Open Space
The proposed project on the approximately 82,500 SF project site has been shaped by extensive study of the following factors:
• Site conditions and the property’s relationship to Palisades Park and the bluffs; • The building/context and block pattern surrounding the site; • The historic setting along Ocean Avenue with its concentration of historic resources reflecting Downtown’s early development patterns along Ocean Avenue, and
• The functional needs associated with a mixed-use project with lodging, residential, dining and retail/commercial, and a Cultural Uses Campus designed for galleries and exhibition space.

The project’s overall scale, massing strategy, site design, and architectural expression work together to create an inviting, pedestrian-oriented, creative plan that provides a compelling mixed of uses for residents and visitors alike, and successfully integrates modern architecture with historic features in a way that fits the broader Downtown Santa Monica context. The site plan also incorporates publicly accessible open space and rooftop view deck that complement the project and provide new opportunities to experience Ocean Avenue.

12.A
Packet Pg. 261
22 of 52
Areas of focus have included the following and are incorporated into the project plans:
• The Applicant’s plan balances the maximum height of 130’ per the DCP with varying building heights and with gathering spaces at both the ground level and upper building levels to provide the project with a strong level of pedestrian orientation, visual permeability, relationship to neighborhood character, and connection to the bluffs, views of the bay, and open space provided at Palisades Park.
• The massing strategy for the project pays special attention to the relationship between the two existing historic buildings and the new museum building that form the Cultural Uses Campus. The design also includes four distinct residential building forms to better reflect the block pattern found further east along Santa Monica Boulevard.

12.A
Packet Pg. 262
23 of 52
• The project incorporates buildings along Santa Monica Boulevard and Second Street that have been shaped and modulated at the ground level to further improve pedestrian travel through the site to a variety of programmed areas and to/from Ocean Avenue.
• The open space plan creates gathering spaces that are well-integrated with the historic and new architecture that form the Cultural Uses Campus and provides ample landscape and pedestrian amenities.
• The proposed Pedestrian Mall that would be established on a north/south section of First Court from Santa Monica Boulevard (approximately 160’ in length including the existing sidewalk) to provide connection to an east/west paseo leading to Ocean Avenue and the Cultural Uses Campus.
• The organization of vehicular circulation and key pedestrian entrances to the hotel, residential buildings, dining/retail/commercial spaces achieves an uninterrupted pedestrian environment along Ocean Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard with consolidated vehicle driveways only at First Court at Arizona Avenue and on Second Street.

Finally, while not an analytical tool or development standard used in the DCP, the Applicant has provided an average building height analysis for the project to demonstrate how ground level open space and a variety of building scales affect the relationship between height, density, and design. The Applicant’s conceptual average building height analysis indicates that while a maximum height of 130’ is proposed, only 10% of the total site area would be constructed to that height – and the average building height for the site as a whole would be 48’-1”.

New and Replacement Housing
A total of 100 residential rental units with a mix of unit types (studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom) are proposed as part of the project. There are a total of 19 studio and one-bedroom units on site that are subject to the City’s rent control law (Article XVIII of the City Charter). These 19 units would be replaced with eight deedrestricted affordable units and 11 rent-controlled units, as discussed further below.

These 19 units will also be subject to the Rent Control Board’s regulations regarding removal and replacement, including the requirements for Displaced Tenants, and in accordance with the Development Agreement.

The Downtown Community Plan specifies that for projects filed before November 2016 that are designed in excess of Tier 11 development standards and provide on-site affordable housing units, the baseline requirement for deed-restricted affordable units is 20% of the total number of residential units, subject to DCP unit mix and affordability requirements. Based on the Applicant’s proposal for 100 rental units in the project, the City has negotiated for a total of 25% of the 100 residential units (25 units), to be deedrestricted affordable units for a 99-year term.

The proposed 100 residential units are comprised of the following:
• 25 deed-restricted affordable apartments
o 4 units @ 30% Income Households
o 4 units @ 50% Income Households
o 6 units @ 80% Income Households
o 11 units @ Moderate Income Households
▪ If there are more than 11 existing units with tenants who want to move back into the project and do not income-qualify for a deedrestricted affordable unit, then up to five of these Moderate Income units will first be made available for occupancy by a Displaced 1 The DCP implements a modified version of the LUCE Tiering system, which provides different entitlement processes for projects of certain sizes and/or land uses. Typically, Tier 1 development standards for Floor Area Ratio and height are referred to as “base” projects. Additional City review and project requirements are associated with Tier 2/Tier 3 development standards which are higher than Tier

Tenant in accordance with the terms established by the Rent Control Board and Development Agreement. The deed restriction for Moderate Income Households would apply to each of these five units if and when the unit is not occupied by a Displaced Tenant. • 11 replacement rent-controlled apartments
• 64 market-rate apartments
Treatment of Historic Resources
The project design proposes to preserve and incorporate the two designated Landmark Buildings as part of the Cultural Uses Campus. This approach will create a strong historic and contemporary presence along Ocean Avenue. Through the process of project review, including consideration of the Landmarks Commission’s courtesy feedback provided in 2018, the concept design for the Cultural Uses Campus has been improved. The focus has been on how the two historic buildings are physically and visually integrated with the new museum building and how each of the buildings will still retain an individual presence.

The Spanish Colonial Revival Landmark Building is proposed for on-site relocation to the north edge of the site next to the neighboring Landmark Gussie Moran House. The Queen Anne style Victorian Landmark Building would also be relocated/shifted to the south from its current location to form the south wing of the entry lobby for the Cultural Uses Campus.

As noted in the updated Historic Resources Conformance Report that is part of the project application, the Spanish Colonial Revival Landmark was designated in part because it is associated with the expansion of the downtown commercial district in the 1920s. The designation of this building describes its relationship to the Gussie Moran House (1323 Ocean Avenue, built circa 1891), and the Victorian Landmark Building on the subject property. By retaining the two Landmark Buildings and incorporating them into the Cultural Uses Campus, this historic pattern of development on Ocean Avenue is

12.A
Packet Pg. 266
27 of 52
retained and provides a visual representation of the historic appearance of Ocean Avenue in the 1920s.

The Applicant team has continued to study the two Landmark Buildings and the project with a focus on how to most successfully preserve, protect, and adaptively reuse these buildings to ensure that sufficient integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association is retained. The Applicant and the City’s preservation consultants have provided recommendations that are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. These recommendations form the basis of the preservation requirements that have been incorporated into the plan, including:
• On-site repositioning of the two Landmarks;
• Modifications on secondary elevations to connect the historic buildings to the new construction; and
• The use of historic photographs and physical evidence to guide the work of carefully restoring certain exterior building features that are from both building’s historic period of significance.

The Development Agreement outlines the Landmarks Commission’s formal role in reviewing a Certificate of Appropriateness for the treatment of the two City Landmark Buildings and the Cultural Uses Campus building. Sheet A9-111 of the project plans also shows the area of the plan that is subject to Landmarks Commission review, with the remainder of the project subject to design review conducted by the Architectural Review Board.

Circulation, Vehicle & Bicycle Parking, Transportation Demand Management City review of the circulation plan for the project has been focused on the locations and functionality of the different access points provided for pedestrians, bicycles, and for different user groups of the subterranean garage (e.g., museum visitors, employees, hotel guests, residents). The proposed project incorporates three subterranean levels at the property with approximately 285 parking spaces to serve all user groups. The site plan reflects the extensive work between City staff and the Applicant on the specific dimensions and functionality of the plan for alternative access on private property. City review focused on the layout of the rerouted alley to ensure it provides efficient and safe circulation for all parties who will use First Court and the rerouted alley on private property leading to Second Street, including hotel guests and visitors to the property who will utilize First Court to enter and exit the project’s subterranean garage.

also reviewed the plan to ensure that emergency services and trash and recycling services can be accommodated efficiently and safely.

Proposed Pedestrian Mall
The Pedestrian Mall Law of 1960, California Streets and Highways Code Sections 11000 et seq. (the “Pedestrian Mall Law”), authorizes municipalities to close streets to vehicular traffic and establish pedestrian malls. The City used this law to establish the Third Street Mall in 1963 to create a pedestrian zone that has added to the vitality and vibrancy of Downtown Santa Monica, and it has served the public interest and not unduly inconvenienced vehicular traffic.

The proposed Pedestrian Mall is proposed to be established on the north/south section of First Court from Santa Monica Boulevard (approximately 160’ in length including the existing sidewalk) and would provide connection to an east/west paseo leading to Ocean Avenue. The establishment of this Pedestrian Mall in conjunction with the project would require a separate action of the City Council.

12.A
Packet Pg. 269
30 of 52
On April 24, 2022 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11420 (CCS) declaring its intent to establish a Pedestrian Mall along a southern portion of First Court between Santa Monica Boulevard and Arizona Avenue and also set a public hearing for September 27, 2022 to consider the establishment of this proposed Pedestrian Mall.

This public hearing for the Pedestrian Mall would only be held if the Council approves the project and Development Agreement.

Passenger Loading, Valet Service, Parking
Staff has also focused on the plan for passenger loading in the subterranean garage to work in concert with the Applicant’s proposed valet operation on Ocean Avenue that would serve the project’s hotel and other commercial uses. More specifically, the Development Agreement allows the Applicant to apply for a valet permit for its future operation on Ocean Avenue for hotel guests’ first arrival and for other visitors who are

12.A
Packet Pg. 270
31 of 52
accessing the project’s dining and retail uses. Valet operations would follow the same route to the project’s subterranean garage to park a vehicle in the garage and return it to visitors of the project’s dining and retail uses via Second Street and Santa Monica Boulevard. After their first arrival to the hotel, hotel guests would need to pick up and drop off their vehicle using the valet service in the subterranean garage. Museum visitors arriving by car would not use the valet service and would use First Court via Arizona Avenue to access the subterranean garage. The Applicant acknowledges that City reserves the exclusive right to utilize and manage the public right-of-way in a manner that may preclude on-street valet in the future.

A total of approximately 231 bicycle parking spaces (both long-term and short-term) will be provided in locations both at-grade and in the subterranean garage for employees, hotel guests, residents, and visitors. The parking garage would provide vehicle spaces that are equipped with EV chargers and with EV ready infrastructure and based on the Planning Commission’s recommendation, in the future, the Applicant will be required to increase the number of EV chargers and EV infrastructure based on demand generated by project patrons and residents.

Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
The Development Agreement includes the requirement to implement a TDM Program that would reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and parking demand generated by the proposed project. Measures include, but are not limited to, a transportation information center, a 2.2 average vehicle ridership (AVR) target, unbundled parking, transportation allowances for employees and residents equivalent to 100% of the cost of a monthly regional transit pass, showers and lockers for employees who bike to work, short-term visitor bike parking, long-term resident and commercial bike parking, and active participation in a Transportation Management Organization. The proposed TDM measures are further detailed in Exhibit H of the Development Agreement.

Sustainable Design Features
As detailed more fully in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of the Development Agreement, a significant component of the Applicant’s proposal is its incorporation of sustainable design features. The Applicant’s sustainability plan was initially discussed with its 2013 application. Over the years, the City’s technical codes have changed to require greater water and energy savings as baseline requirements. The Applicant’s proposal has been modified to respond to these regulatory changes. The Development Agreement includes a number of important conservation requirements, some of which remain above and beyond the City’s reach codes and are identified as community benefits while other components are identified as project features consistent with existing Code requirements. Some of these components include the following:
• LEED v4 Platinum certification for the project as a whole. • Contract with the Clean Power Alliance, or successor entity, for electrical service for the project under the 100% Green Power tier (which is sourced entirely from wind, solar and geothermal sources) at all times such tier is offered as a service option by the electric utility provider.
• Solar infrastructure on new construction.
• Compliance with new Recycled Water Ordinance requiring use of non-potable water for applicable uses at the project site:
o Inclusion of dual plumbing/use of recycled water for all uses approved by County (e.g. toilet flushing, cooling tower, landscaping). o Pay City to extend the non-potable water distribution main across Ocean Avenue; the Applicant will extend the main to project site. • Water neutrality through inclusion of low flow fixtures and payment of in-lieu fee. • On-site capture and reuse of rainwater.
• In addition to the energy conservation measures included as project features in Section 2.7, the project, except for the energy for the electric vehicle charging infrastructure, shall be designed to use and shall achieve 15% less energy than

12.A
Packet Pg. 272
33 of 52
required by the 2019 California Energy Code. This requirement shall be satisfied prior to issuance of the project’s building permit.
• EV charging stations and infrastructure:
o EV chargers in ten percent (10%) of vehicle parking spaces. o Infrastructure to make an additional 4.5% of vehicle parking spaces EV Ready (breaker, wiring, panel capacity, receptacle and raceways and associated conductors capable of accommodating 208/240-volt dedicated branch circuits).
o Raceways/conduits and associated conductors capable of accommodating 208/240-volt dedicated branch circuits in an additional

38.5% of vehicle parking spaces.
• Bicycle parking and bicycle repair station.
• Shower and locker facilities for employees who commute via active means of transportation.

Alcohol Service
As part of the project, the Applicant is proposing to dispense alcohol consistent with the conditions provided in Exhibit E-1 to the Development Agreement and in the licensed areas shown in Exhibit E-2 to the Development Agreement. Staff’s review of the proposal focused on maintaining consistency with the hotel’s customary operations, requiring additional measures as necessary, and providing uniform updated conditions applicable to all programmatic elements of the project.

Community Benefits
Pursuant to a development agreement, the City can negotiate community benefits within the bounds of its police power and statutory authority. The following discussion presents a summary of each community benefit category that has been negotiated by the City and Applicant based on Council-identified priorities, and other feedback received from both the Planning Commission and community during the public review

12.A
Packet Pg. 273
34 of 52
process. Section 2.8 of the Development Agreement sets forth the negotiated community benefits for the project. The Applicant focused its community benefit proposal on the three priority community benefits identified by the Downtown Community Plan’s Established Large Sites designation for the property: cultural institutions, historic preservation, and affordable housing. The Applicant has also proposed additional priority community benefit categories outlined in Chapter 2 of the DCP for other types of projects subject to negotiation, including water and energy conservation and local hiring and has also negotiated in good faith on the additional community benefits introduced by staff.

Where possible, the cost assigned to community benefits has been estimated to conservatively monetize the value of the benefit. The Development Agreement includes a negotiated community benefits package that has an estimated value of $53.3M. There are also a number of important and significant community benefits the Applicant is providing that, at this time, do not have a monetized value identified. Table 2 below summarizes this estimated total value of the community benefits package and also identifies the project’s enhanced development impact fees that are structured as contributions to provide more flexibility for how the City may allocate these funds for programs and capital projects within each assigned category.

1) Cultural Uses Campus (Development Agreement Section 2.8.3) Section 2.8.3 of the Development Agreement outlines the terms for the Applicant’s obligation to construct, operate, and maintain a Cultural Uses Campus. The Cultural Uses Campus must be a minimum of 33,725 square feet of Floor Area, including a minimum of 18,550 square feet of Floor Area in the Cultural Uses Building that is open to the public and devoted to Cultural Facilities uses. As the principal community benefit for the project, this minimum area has been established to set a baseline guarantee for what part of the campus will be devoted to Cultural Facilities uses and open to the public. This minimum size does not include area devoted to Cultural Accessory Uses

12.A
Packet Pg. 275
36 of 52
such as the planned food and beverage service and retail component of the Cultural Uses Campus, ancillary office space, and/or archive/storage space.

For the Life of the Project, the Cultural Uses Campus is generally required to be open to the public a minimum of six (6) days per week, provide community programming, have discounted admission/entry rates for students/youth and Santa Monica residents, one free day per month when the entry/admission fee is waived for Santa Monica residents (i.e. “free day” for residents), and offer annual field trip opportunities for Santa Monica public schools and youth-serving non-profit organizations free of charge. The Development Agreement obligates the Developer to use income generated from other uses within the Project, if necessary, to subsidize the Cultural Facilities.

The Cultural Uses Campus will be designed to attract and exhibit works of significant local, international, established and emerging artists, including architects. The Applicant has proposed that for a minimum of 15 years, the Cultural Uses Campus will showcase exclusive pieces from archives of Frank O. Gehry. This requirement does not restrict the ability to exhibit works from other artists during this time period.

As noted in the introduction of this report, the construction and commitment to operate a world-class Cultural Uses Campus and provide associated educational and community programming is an extraordinary community benefit that would serve to expand Santa Monica’s art and cultural offerings in a meaningful way and, with the project as whole, make a significant contribution to support the City’s economic vitality for many years to come. Furthermore, a developer-constructed and operated cultural facility addresses a significant community interest that the City would not be able to fund at this time.

The Cultural Uses Campus will be operated and maintained for the Life of the Project (i.e. the useful life of the building). A conservative estimate of non-escalated hard costs for the construction of the Cultural Uses Campus, including the preservation and rehabilitation of the two Landmarks Buildings, is approximately $43 million. This does not include the Developer’s cost to operate/maintain the facility and programming.

12.A

2) Deed-Restricted Affordable Housing Units (Development Agreement Section 2.8.1) Affordable housing is one of the three Downtown Community Plan priority community benefits for the Established Large Site overlay applicable to the subject property.

Accordingly, the Applicant proposes to satisfy the project’s minimum 20-unit affordable housing obligation (per the DCP’s project requirements set forth in SMMC Section

9.10.070) and provide an additional five deed-restricted affordable units for Moderate Income Households as a community benefit. If there are more than 11 existing units with tenants who want to move back into the project and do not income-qualify for a deed-restricted affordable unit, then up to five of these Moderate Income units will first be made available for occupancy by a Displaced Tenant in accordance with the terms established by the Rent Control Board and Development Agreement. The deed restriction for Moderate Income Households would apply to each of these five units if and when the unit is not occupied by a Displaced Tenant.

In total, the proposed project would provide 25% of the total number of residential units as deed-restricted affordable units for a 99-year period. There would also be a total of 11 rent-controlled units that are designated as such to replace the existing units on site (the remaining eight replacement units would also be deed-restricted affordable units).

Finally, of the 100 residential units, there would be a total of 64 market-rate units provided. Staff supports this overall housing proposal as one important component of the entire community benefit package that has been negotiated for the project. 3) Historic Preservation (Development Agreement Section 2.8.2) Historic Preservation is one of the three Downtown Community Plan priority community benefits for the Established Large Site overlay designation for the subject property.

Consistent with both LUCE and DCP priorities, The Landmark Victorian Building and the Landmark Spanish Colonial Revival Building will be preserved, rehabilitated, and repositioned on the parcel as part of the Cultural Uses Campus under the terms of the Development Agreement and as a community benefit.

A detailed work plan has been reviewed for consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties in order to rehabilitate and

12.A
Packet Pg. 277
38 of 52
protect the two Landmark Buildings and will ensure that they retain their historical significance as historic resources while being incorporated into the Project’s Cultural Uses Campus for public enjoyment. All rehabilitation and restoration work shall be subject to a Certificate of Appropriateness process and will be guided by a qualified historic preservation professional who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards.

As noted above, a conservative estimate of non-escalated direct costs for the construction of the Cultural Uses Campus, including the preservation and rehabilitation of the two Landmarks Buildings, is approximately $43 million. The Applicant will be required to submit a performance bond to ensure completion of the scope of work directly associated with the preservation and rehabilitation of the two Landmark Buildings.
4) Publicly Accessible Open Space and Rooftop Observation Deck (Development Agreement Section 2.8.4)
The project provides Publicly Accessible Open Space as shown in project plans and as shown on Development Agreement Exhibit G. The total area to be provided is approximately 16,800 SF (12,000 SF at the ground level and 4,800 square feet at the Publicly Accessible Rooftop Observation Deck), The Publicly Accessible rooftop observation deck will be owned, operated, and maintained by the Applicant at a maintenance standard equivalent to or greater than the standard for the project’s private ground-level open space. The charge of a $1.00 entry fee is proposed with 100% of net income donated to the Santa Monica Education Foundation. A conservative estimate of non-escalated direct costs for the construction of the rooftop observation deck, separate from the cost of construction for the hotel building, is $4.06 million. 5) Sustainable Design/Features (Development Agreement Sections 2.8.5 to 2.8.9,

2.8.17)
The negotiated sustainability elements are intended to ensure that the project meets the highest levels of sustainability possible for the project. The following summarizes the

12.A
Packet Pg. 278
39 of 52
project’s sustainability elements that have been specifically identified as above-code requirements and therefore a community benefit. An estimate of the monetary value of the Applicant’s sustainability community benefits has not yet been determined. The sustainability community benefits are detailed more fully in the Development Agreement and described in summary below:

LEED Status
The project will be designed and constructed to achieve a minimum LEED® Platinum certification as established by the LEED® Rating System (v4). 100% Green Power
Contract with the Clean Power Alliance, or successor entity, for electrical service for the project under the 100% Green Power tier (which is sourced entirely from wind, solar and geothermal sources) at all times such tier is offered as a service option by the electric utility provider.

On-site Capture of Rainwater/Reuse of Greywater
Project landscaping for all the Buildings shall be irrigated with greywater, stormwater, rainwater, recycled water and/or other approved non-potable water supply.

Recycled Water Infrastructure Improvements
The Applicant will also need to pay the cost for the City to construct a connection to the existing recycled water line located on the west side of Ocean Avenue to the project specifically for on-site landscaping and all other County-approved uses of non-potable water. After the City extends the non-potable water distribution main across Ocean Avenue, the Applicant shall extend the main to the project site pursuant to specifications provided by City in order to service the project.

Energy Conservation Measures
In addition to the energy conservation measures included as project features in Development Agreement Section 2.7.11, the project, except for the energy for the

12.A
Packet Pg. 279
40 of 52
electric vehicle charging infrastructure, shall be designed to use and shall achieve 15% less energy than required by the 2019 California Energy Code. 6) Economic Equity/Opportunity Contribution (Development Agreement Section 2.8.13) A monetary contribution in the amount of $250,000 shall be utilized to support economic equity and opportunity initiatives including but not limited to seed funding to support local entrepreneurs from disadvantaged communities, investments in community partnerships and non-profit organizations that support economic equity and opportunity initiatives, and other programs as determined by the City or as developed through current and future community processes. The City shall deposit such monies into a separate restricted account to be used exclusively for the economic equity and opportunity initiatives as described above through guidelines established by the City or through current and future community processes.
7) Local Hiring Program (Development Agreement Section 2.8.10) The Project would include local hiring provisions for construction-related and permanent employment. The Applicant and commercial tenants would be required to follow certain steps to ensure that the greatest opportunity for interviewing local residents and employees is provided. All hiring decisions would continue to remain at the discretion of the Applicant and commercial tenants. Through the negotiation process, the concept of Priority for Targeted Job Applicants was modified compared to previous development agreements to expand the definition of “First Priority” as follows: “Any resident of a household with no greater than 80% Median Income that resides within the Low and Moderate Income Areas identified in Figure 3-12 of the City of Santa Monica’s 2013- 2021 Housing Element or any resident who resides in Santa Monica’s 90404 zip code (Pico Neighborhood).”
8) Internship Program (Development Agreement Section 2.8.11) The Project would include a requirement for an Internship Program whereby the hotel would make available at least two (2) internships within the Hotel Uses during each school year (which for this purpose includes the following summer) to students who attend a high school in Santa Monica or Santa Monica College. The internship shall be

12.A
Packet Pg. 280
41 of 52
paid at the City’s minimum wage unless a student requests an unpaid internship in order to obtain school credit(s) or such internship.

The Applicant will inform City’s Director of Community Development, Santa Monica High School, Santa Monica College, Virginia Avenue Park Advisory Board, Virginia Avenue Park Youth Employment Services, and at least one provider of affordable housing in Santa Monica (e.g. Community Corporation of Santa Monica) of the availability of, and selection criteria for, such internship prior to the start of each school year. The Applicant shall also participate annually in Hospitality Training Academy, or any successor entity, internship fair/events to advertise the availability of the hotel internship. The Applicant shall select interns in accordance with its normal practice of hiring the most qualified candidate and shall make a good faith effort to hire residents of the 90404 zip code (Pico Neighborhood) as the first priority and other Santa Monica residents as the second priority when most qualified or equally qualified as other applicants who are not residents of the 90404 zip code or Santa Monica residents, as applicable. 9) Gehry Partners as Architect (Development Agreement Section 2.8.16) The Applicant understands, acknowledges, and agrees that City has materially relied upon the Applicant’s representation that Gehry Partners will continue to be the lead design architect for the Ocean Avenue Project, including the Cultural Uses Campus, through issuance of the Project’s Certificate of Occupancy, and that this representation is deemed by the City and Applicant as a community benefit.

This is an important component of the project; in particular because of the expertise and extensive experience Gehry Partners has with designing world-renowned museums in other U.S. cities and in cities internationally. This contribution of knowledge and depth of experience will be invaluable to achieving the highest quality design and construction of both the Cultural Uses Campus and the Ocean Avenue Project as a whole. 10) Equal Opportunity Subcontracting (Development Agreement Section 2.8.14) The following language shall be included in all construction contracts between the Developer and its contractors for the Project:

12.A
Packet Pg. 281
42 of 52
“The Contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, or disability in the solicitation, selection, hiring, or treatment of subcontractors, vendors, or suppliers. The Contractor shall provide equal opportunity for subcontractors that are qualified and experienced in performing the scope of work required for a project of the Project’s quality and complexity to participate in subcontracting opportunities. The Contractor understands and agrees that violation of this clause shall be considered a material breach of the contract and may result in contract termination or other contract remedies.” At least thirty (30) days before recruitment of subcontractors by any of Developer’s construction contractors, Developer shall submit documentation to the Community Development Director, evidencing its construction contractors’ outreach about bid opportunities to enhance participation by all classes of subcontractors, vendors, or suppliers who are qualified and experienced to perform the scope of work required for a project of the Project’s quality and complexity, including, without limitation, women business enterprises, minority business enterprises, and local business enterprises.

The scope of documentation shall be reasonably determined by the Community Development Director.
11) Impact Fee Contributions
The Development Agreement includes development impact fees that are escalated

8.5% compared to adopted fees that are required by the Municipal Code for FY2021-22.

The following summarizes these impact fee amounts that are being required as contributions so that there is more flexibility regarding use of the funds for programs and the timing of expenditures. This will allow the City to use these funds more effectively to meet programmatic activities and capital programs within each impact fee area:
• Transportation Infrastructure (TIF) Contribution: payment in the amount of $2,255,000 would replace the TIF Development Impact Fee.

12.A
Packet Pg. 282
43 of 52
• Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee Contribution: payment in the amount of $400,000 would replace the Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee.
• Contribution for Early Childhood Initiatives Contribution: payment in the amount of $1,000,000 would replace the Child Care Linkage Program ordinance requirement for the project. The City shall utilize this contribution to support early childhood initiatives including but not limited to infant, toddler and pre-school tuition subsidies; family support and parent engagement strategies; home visitation programs; facility and playground improvements and kindergarten readiness models. The City shall deposit such monies into a separate restricted account to be used exclusively for the early childhood initiatives as described above through guidelines to be established by the City. • Parks and Recreation Fee Contribution: A monetary contribution in the amount of $2,160,000 and would replace the Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fee. The funds shall be used by the City for parks and recreation projects and programs.

Economic Analysis
The City contracted HR&A Advisors, Inc. to prepare economic analyses for the project consisting of a Fiscal Impact Analysis and Economic Impact Analysis, and a peer review of the Applicant’s Financial Feasibility Analysis. The economic analyses are intended to provide a fuller picture of the project’s economic value to the City and its fiscal impacts (both positive and negative) to the City. The following is a summary of those analyses, which are attached to this report as Attachments J and K.

Economic Impact Analysis
HR&A estimated the net economic impacts of the Project using the most current (2019) version of the widely used IMPLAN input-output model software with data specific to the five ZIP Codes that comprise the City’s boundaries. Therefore, it should be noted that

12.A
Packet Pg. 283
44 of 52
these estimates are based on pre-COVID-19 pandemic assumptions. The analysis estimated the economic impact of the project in the following areas:
• One-time construction-related economic impacts based on hard construction costs data provided by the Applicant
o Approximately 2,217 total jobs required to complete construction of the project (approximately equivalent to 739 individuals employed on average at any time during the anticipated three year construction period). o $258.3 million in total economic output
• Annual operations-related economic impacts based on estimates of hotel operative revenues, on-site retail sales, and household spending from the housing units. HR&A also estimated the economic impacts of the existing hotel in order to estimate the net new impacts resulting from the project’s implementation.
o Approximately 615 total net new jobs
o $59.8 million in net annual economic output
Fiscal Impact Analysis
The project’s fiscal impact to the City was evaluated and measured in terms of revenue and cost impacts to the City’s General Fund. The fiscal impact is calculated by subtracting the anticipated costs to the City generated by the project from the anticipated revenues (various taxes) generated by the project. HR&A modeled the net fiscal impacts at the first year of stabilized operation (estimated for this analysis to be 2025).
• In the first year of stabilized operations, HR&A estimates that the project’s net fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund would be approximately $6.2 million ($3.44 million net new).

The increase in annual positive fiscal impacts is largely due to increased property taxes and transient occupancy tax generated by the project’s new lodging.

Financial Feasibility Review of Proposed Project
Community benefits achieved through development agreements have a long-standing history in Santa Monica, dating back to 1982. Negotiated community benefits can fund or provide a number of different improvements, ranging from affordable and middleincome housing to targeted streetscape enhancements. Negotiated community benefits may be used in conjunction with other funding and financing mechanisms where appropriate. Within the Downtown Community Plan, development agreements are required for projects within the Established Large Site Overlay.

As development agreements are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, financial and economic analyses are prepared to help understand how the negotiated community benefits affect the financial feasibility of proposed projects. The location, size and type of project, and its mix of uses can vary widely and therefore, the financial feasibility, range, and magnitude of benefits will similarly vary. Financial feasibility analyses are only one consideration in the overall approach to evaluating community benefits. The analyses are intended as an informational tool for decision-making and are not intended to be used for establishing a set dollar value scale of required community benefits based on entrepreneurial profit. It is also important to note that the analyses are rough approximations contingent on various assumptions. Therefore, to the maximum extent possible, the Downtown Community Plan seeks to establish a policy-based approach to setting transparent and consistent expectations for negotiated community benefits.

The City contracted HR&A Advisors to conduct a peer review of the Applicant’s confidential financial feasibility analyses. The financial feasibility analysis attached to this staff report provides an assessment of project feasibility using the Applicant’s profit margin metric. It should be noted that HR&A’s analysis represents the state of negotiations at the time the review was completed and thus it does not incorporate all aspects of the recommended community benefits in the draft development agreement.

The financial feasibility analysis provided by Applicant, even without the specified community benefits, shows a profit margin that is well below the minimum acceptable real estate industry benchmark for a development of this type (estimated at 12%).

12.A
Packet Pg. 285
46 of 52
As further discussed in Attachment J, HR&A’s independent review of the Applicant’s financial feasibility analysis suggests that the Applicant may be making conservative assumptions about the cost to operate the Cultural Use Campus because the project otherwise appears infeasible, based on the IRR calculated by the applicant’s feasibility model. As a result, the analysis suggests that the Cultural Use Campus would be operationally subsidized in perpetuity by transferring this obligation to any future owners and operators of the rest of the project, thereby reducing the Project’s overall value.

One factor raised in the analysis addresses the level of the ongoing operational subsidy necessary for the Cultural Uses Campus. For the purposes of discussion, HR&A’s analysis presents an additional scenario where the ongoing operation of the Cultural Uses Campus has a neutral effect on net operating income based on the assumption that the Applicant may secure a source of funding for annual operating costs instead of providing a full subsidy of this cost offset by other revenue derived from the project uses (e.g., hotel and commercial). This scenario would result in reduced operational cost and a resulting increase in investment return from 7.7% to 12%. This in turn would result in profit margins that would be higher than represented by the Applicant in the full and ongoing subsidy scenario, though still below the industry-accepted profit margin threshold of 13% to 15% for a development of this type.

General Plan and Downtown Community Plan Consistency
The proposed project has been reviewed for consistency with the 2010 LUCE, 2017 Downtown Community Plan, and Local Coastal Program, and guidance should also be sought from other City adopted documents including the Bicycle Action Plan, Open Space Element, and Urban Forest Master Plan. Attachment H provides an analysis of the project’s consistency with relevant General Plan and DCP goals and policies.

Summary analysis of the project’s consistency with DCP development standards is provided below.

Downtown Community Plan Development Parameters
As discussed in the Background section of this report, the Downtown Community Plan was adopted by the Council in July 2017 to implement the LUCE’s detailed vision, goals, and policies for Santa Monica’s expanded Downtown District. DCP development standards and project requirements implement and align with the LUCE and comprehensively address housing, jobs, mobility, historic preservation, public open space, infrastructure, and art and culture into the plan framework.

The DCP identifies three sites in the Downtown that, given parcel size and development standards, could potentially provide significant community benefits associated with circulation, open space, preservation, affordable housing, and cultural facilities that would otherwise not be anticipated from smaller projects. These significant enhancements are identified as part of an overall strategy for potential economic and functional improvements to address anticipated future needs in the Downtown.

The DCP requires conformance with site-specific development standards for each of the three Established Large Sites. For the Ocean Avenue Project site, the plan specifies the following:

1. Maximum building height: 130’
• No building heights are proposed over 130’

2. Maximum floor area ratio (FAR): 4.0
• Project Floor Area Ratio is 2.95

3. Minimum open space: 50% of total parcel area comprised of 25% located at the ground floor and 25% without a regulated location
• 27.5% open space provided at ground level and 38% above ground level The DCP identifies affordable housing, cultural institutions, and historic preservation as the priority community benefits desired for this project site.

1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Amendment
An amendment to the City’s 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP) is necessary for the proposed project. Although the City Council adopted an updated Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan on October 9, 2018, that Land Use Plan has not been certified by the California Coastal Commission. At this time, the 1992 PartiallyCertified Land Use Plan needs to be amended to be consistent with the 2010 LUCE and 2017 Downtown Community Plan and the adopted development parameters for the Established Large Sites Overlay applicable to the subject property.

More specifically, the 1992 LUP land use designation applicable to the subject property (Subarea 3B – Ocean Avenue North of the Pier) was at the time consistent with the City’s 1984 General Plan Oceanfront District’s maximum 2.75 FAR and 45’ building height. However, as outlined below, this LUP amendment is necessary for consistency with the City’s current 2010 General Plan and 2017 Downtown Community Plan.

Attachment E provides the resolution for this LUP amendment.

Environmental Analysis
This staff report recommends the Council take three actions regarding the environmental review prepared for the Ocean Avenue Project:

12.A
Packet Pg. 288
49 of 52

1. Affirm that the Ocean Avenue Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15182 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;

2. Adopt a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the project in accordance with CEQA; and

The summary discussion to support these actions is provided in Attachment O. The required resolutions are provided as Attachment F and Attachment G. The weblink to the Final EIR is provided as Attachment N.

Public Outreach
Hearing notices for the City Council’s review of the project were mailed 14 days prior to the hearing date to all residents and property owners within 750 feet of the subject property and mailed to community members who have previously attended meetings or requested to be placed on the project mailing list. A notice was also published in the Santa Monica Daily Press a minimum of fourteen days in advance of the public hearing on June 27, 2022. Staff has received community feedback and questions in advance of the both the Planning Commission’s May 18, 2022 discussion and the Council’s July 14, 2022 hearing. The following is a summary of comments and questions received:

Summary of Community Comments

Uses Campus.

12.A
Packet Pg. 289
50 of 52
Summary of Community Comments
Concerns and Questions Support
• Concerns about the project blocking
neighboring and nearby buildings’
views of the ocean and mountains.
• The hotel building should be no taller
than 110’ so views are not blocked
from nearby buildings or shift 130’
height to the building on Second Street.
• Rent-controlled units should be
provided on the top three floors of the
tallest building.
• Question about whether the City has
conducted any geotechnical analysis
pertaining to bluff stability. Studies
should be done using new information
gleaned from the landslides/building
collapses in Florida.
• Concern about allowing tourists who do
not have a stake in the community to
have access to the upper floors of the
building with the best views.
• Residents who live in nearby buildings
whose view will be blocked should get
the first chance to purchase and/or rent
units on the upper floors.
• The corner building should not have
highly reflective materials that create
glare.
• Stated the opinion that the historic and
contemporary architecture does not
work well together.
• Concern about loss of surface parking
lots on project site; parking lots are
used by patrons of nearby businesses.
• Support for project and opportunities
to involve youth and generate support
for local public schools.
• Support expressed for innovative and
community-focused projects like
Ocean Avenue Project.
• Support for having a creative and high
quality project design in Santa Monica.
• Support for having a Frank Gehry
designed museum in Santa Monica
that will provide for educational
opportunities and access to important
works from his archives/collection.
• The project will add a level of class
and character that downtown Santa
Monica desperately needs right now.
• The project will generate muchneeded revenue for the City to provide important services that are needed
now.
• The project provides the City with
benefits that are specific and defined,
robustly supported financially, and
informed by professional expertise.
• Stated the opinion that this project is a
gift to the community that will keep
giving to the community and also
engage and provide educational
opportunities for Santa Monica schools
and youth.
• The project’s hotel and new
shops/restaurants will have substantial
economic and fiscal impacts. As the
City is just re-emerging from the
COVID-19 pandemic, it is more
important than ever to approve
projects that will generate revenue for
our local economy.
• Project demonstrates context sensitive
design, represents the highest level of
development excellence, a focus on

Concerns and Questions Support
placemaking, iconic design that is also
respectful of the historic structures on
site, sustainability, and affordable
housing.

Financial Impact and Budget Action
Based on the fiscal impact analysis provided by HR&A, it is estimated that if the project is approved, net fiscal impacts at the first year of stabilized operation (estimated to be 2025) to the City’s General Fund would be approximately $6.2 million ($3.44 million net new).

In addition, the project would provide one-time monetary contributions prior to issuance of a building permit for the project totaling $6,065,000 million. These one-time payments are required pursuant to the proposed Development Agreement:
• Enhanced Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee Contribution in the amount of $400,000 (Four Hundred Thousand Dollars).
• Enhanced Transportation Infrastructure Contribution in the amount of $2,255,000 (Two Million, Two Hundred Fifty Five Thousand Dollars). • Parks and Recreation Fee Contribution in the amount of $2,160,000 (Two Million, One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars).
• Early Childhood Initiatives Contribution in the amount of $1,000,000 (One Million Dollars).
• Economic Equity/Opportunity Fund Contribution in the amount of $250,000 (Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars).

AVERAGE BUILDING HEIGHT
Understanding that building height is a sensitive topic, we have utilized the concept of Average Building Height to demonstrate the interplay between height and density on this site. The purpose of relying on an average height concept for buildings within the downtown core is to encourage the incorporation of publicly accessible open space at the ground level of new projects, and to encourage a variety of scales within allotted zoning envelopes. It is a tool that would allow minimizing floorplates at higher elevations, providing control of access to natural light, view corridors, and ocean breezes.

As an example, the approved housing project at 5th and Broadway has a maximum height of 84', and an average height of 64'-10".

The project we are proposing has a maximum height of 130', but an average height of only 48'-1".

The average building height concept can be used in conjunction with additional requirements to control appropriate building massing. A detailed description of this concept is provided in the appendix.

Solar studies to assess shade/shadow has been updated for the revised design, and are provided in the appendix.

URBAN DESIGN CONCEPT
The design team has received significant input from the community outreach process, the planning department, and the architectural review board. The extensive outreach process used in developing the approved DCP informs the revised project, resulting in a lower maximum height appropriate to the downtown context. A slender tower is oriented in an east-west direction, maximizing views to the oceanfront for areas to the east.

To reduce the height of the project, area that previously occupied the taller portions of the project has been redistributed in a responsible manner to other portions of the site.

The tower location remains weighted towards Ocean Avenue, however its height has been reduced from 244' to 130', measured to the roof. The tower's new height associates it more with the mid-rise buildings in downtown as opposed to the tall towers.

The residential component has been distributed among four distinct buildings with varying heights from 106' to 53'. The existing context has a series of mid-rise buildings along Santa Monica Boulevard from 5th Street to Ocean Avenue, and the taller residential buildings have therefore been placed along this street.

The lower height buildings have been placed on the north side of the site, along each of 2nd Street (residential) and Ocean Avenue (museum complex).

The building street fronts are modulated to enhance activity by allowing for a variety of experiences at the sidewalk. Breaks in the building facade help maintain a scaled relationship to pedestrians and the adjacent context.

CULTURAL FACILITIES
Cultural facilities and activated open space are key elements in the project's conceptual design and configuration. The design proposes preservation and re-use of two landmarked buildings to be combined with a new Gehry-designed building to form an approximately 35,500 sf cultural uses campus on the northern part of the site.

Preliminary discussions are underway with potential arts partners to establish what we aspire to be an acclaimed and important exhibition venue promoting both regional and internationally known works.

The three ground level cultural uses buildings define the boundaries of a new publicly accessible open space that supports the City's urban design goals to reinvigorate the eastern side of Ocean Avenue. The area will be landscaped and designed to invite pedestrian access and circulation to and from the sidewalk and between buildings accessing the cultural uses and retail/restaurants.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING

BEFORE THE SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: 13DEV-004 (Development Agreement); 18ENT-0385 (Environmental Impact Report); 20ENT-0303 (Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Amendment) 101 Santa Monica Boulevard, 129 Santa Monica Boulevard, 1327 Ocean Avenue, 1333 Ocean Avenue, and 1337 Ocean Avenue
APPLICANT & PROPERTY OWNER: M. David Paul Associates/Worthe Real Estate Group A public hearing will be held by the City Council to consider the following: applications for a Development Agreement and amendment to the 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan for a mixed-use project (“Ocean Avenue Project”) with the following components: a 120-room full-service hotel, 100 residential apartments (including 25 deed-restricted affordable units, 11 rent-controlled units, and 64 market-rate units), an approx. 35,500 SF Cultural Uses Campus, approx. 36,100 SF of restaurants/retail, open space including a publicly-accessible rooftop observation deck, and 285 subterranean parking spaces.

The Project proposes a total of approximately 316,750 SF (of which 243,630 SF is above grade, 4,940 SF is outdoor dining, and 68,180 SF is below grade). The Project would have a Floor Area Ratio of 2.95.

Building heights vary between 58’ and a maximum of 130’. The project includes on-site repositioning and rehabilitation of two City-designated Landmarks that would be a part of the new Cultural Uses Campus.

The Project also includes re-routing of a portion of 1st Court through the Project Site to allow for a Pedestrian Mall on the southern portion of 1st Court adjacent to Santa Monica Boulevard. The Project was analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and this analysis is contained in the Project’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (SCH No. 2018121060).

It is recommended that the City Council 1) Certify the FEIR for the Project; 2) Adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in accordance with CEQA; 3) Amend the 1992 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan for consistency with 2010 General Plan and 2017 Downtown Community Plan parameters applicable to the Project Site; and 4) Adopt an ordinance approving the Development Agreement.

https://www.smgov.net/departments/pcd/agendas/PlanningCommission/2022/20220518/s20220518-09Ax.pdf Summary of Preliminary Concept Discussions for the Project Held in 2018 Architectural Review Board – Preliminary Concept Discussion The Architectural Review Board held its second preliminary concept discussion on February 20, 2018. In summary, the Board members strongly support the preliminary project design. In particular, the Board identified several notable aspects of the project including:
• The creation of an interconnected set of open spaces; • The three-dimensional quality of the project;
• Livability of the residential units;
• The lightness of the implied color and materials;
• The separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic;
• The relocation of the Landmark Victorian home appropriately creates and open court with the Spanish Colonial Revival Landmark building; • Reconfiguration of the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean Avenue with a new building; and
• The general massing of the project, in particular, the way the massing is broken into separate buildings and the additional massing placed along the street.

Board members made several recommendations for development of the project:

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 344 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 • In regard to the two designated Landmark buildings, there should be little or no elements added to the Ocean Avenue frontage, and that any additional elements or connections be reversible;
• Consideration of whether the museum building should be a quiet element in relation to the Landmark buildings or make a stronger architectural statement; • The corner at Santa Monica Boulevard and Ocean Avenue should be stronger; • The open spaces and First Court should remain open and activated; • The landscape design for the project should have a strong identity, with sufficient soil depth included in the project and structural design; • The residential buildings fronting the street should be more fully developed, perhaps with a stronger architectural identity;
• Consideration of an idea for signage throughout the site that is fully integrated; • Pedestrian scale should be further developed throughout the design process; • Consideration of the views at the terminus of the open spaces; • Development of additional open space connections;
• Consideration of wind and solar orientation in the open spaces and around the project; and
• Consideration of location for bicycle lockers and storage at grade.

The Board also challenged the design team to consider the design of the central building to express an ascension skyward, and to design a project that will prove to be a landmark of the 21st Century.

Landmarks Commission – Preliminary Concept Discussion
The Landmarks Commission held its preliminary concept discussion on March 12, 2018.

The following provides a summary of the feedback from individual Commissioners:

• There is an opportunity to carefully and appropriately integrate the Landmark properties and treat them in a manner that would “breathe new life” into the buildings, with a priority on providing public access to the buildings. • The museum campus should include appropriate, reversible, and imaginative treatment of the Landmark buildings so that their identity as historic buildings is retained. The massing and configuration of the site is appropriate and an improvement from the previous iteration, and the massing and height variations of the proposal integrate nicely with the scale and massing of the Landmark buildings. • The unique capabilities of the architect in handling the Landmarks are a welcome component of the project. There should be expressive design elements integrated into the treatment plan for the Landmark buildings. There should also be special attention paid to glare and reflectivity as the design moves forward. • The project’s open spaces will be a beneficial element of the project. Confidence was also expressed that the Applicant will integrate the well-documented

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 345 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 framework for treatment of cultural resources, including the means and methods for appropriately moving and restoring historic buildings, into the project. • Maintaining the integrity of the Landmark structures and ensuring that their identity not be lost or consumed with this project should be a priority. Concern was expressed regarding the timing of the demolition permit review process for the 101 Santa Monica Boulevard building due to the potential consequences of that process. It was also noted that due to the fact that the project may require formal Landmarks Commission review in the future, comments provided at this point are necessarily preliminary in nature.
• The project should be implemented in a manner that maintains design harmony as envisioned in the project renderings. The two Landmark buildings should stand on their own and be rehabilitated. Support was expressed for the open space and paseos and the tower element because it fits in well with the project. Researching the original plantings and design associated with the Landmark buildings would be informative and could be the basis for the future landscape design. Pedestrian and vehicular access was also noted as elements of importance for the project design. • The two Landmark buildings should be integrated into the museum campus as freestanding buildings, rather than connected to the museum. The area around the Landmarks and museum should be a park-like space. While the massing of the museum appears appropriate, if the Landmark buildings are connected to the new structure, they may appear as an afterthought. The onsite relocation of the two Landmarks should not be problematic though it is important that both buildings be placed at or near the elevation of the sidewalk. The two Landmark buildings’ exteriors must be rehabilitated in accordance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Planning Commission – Preliminary Concept Discussion
The Planning Commission held its preliminary concept discussion on May 2, 2018. After posing a series of questions to the Applicant team and a lengthy discussion, the Commission unanimously approved a motion (7-0) to recommend the Council authorize staff to initiate negotiations for the Ocean Avenue Project, with consideration given to the Planning Commission’s comments. The following provides a summary of comments from individual Commissioners, organized by theme:

Downtown Community Plan & Project Concept
• The DCP established a framework for Established Large Sites already; the project needs to conform. The City has the ability to reject the development agreement if it does not comply with City’s policy direction.
• The overall project must be a place for people of all ages (programming, site planning, cultural campus, residential component, mix of uses, etc.).

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 346 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 • The revised project concept and site plan is thoughtful and visually intriguing; positive changes include the updated open space plan, subterranean ballroom to reduce building mass above grade, and the overall design and integration of the replacement rent-controlled units into the project.

Urban Design & Architectural Design Concept
• All Commissioners agreed that the updated concept proposes a beautiful and thoughtful project design at this beginning stage of the City review process. • The project site is unique along Ocean Avenue and at the end of Route 66. The site demands the best and the project must be a legacy to the City and stellar in all respects.
• The project cannot just create background buildings to the two Landmark structures. The design still needs to evolve and continue to development on the ideas of fluidity and spontaneity.
• The project design is successful despite the restrictive 130’ height limitation. • The corner of Ocean Avenue/Santa Monica feature must be exemplary and a welcoming area for all visitors to project – both in terms of design and programming.
• The applicant has presented a thoughtful design; the only issue is its maximum 130’ height. While 130’ might be useful for the proposed observation deck, that is perhaps not appropriate for other projects that were grouped together with the same maximum allowable height.
• Palisades Park and the bluffs are some of the best Landmark features in the city.

The project changes the city skyline and diminishes the experience of the park and the visual character of the park and bluffs as viewed from the beach.

Site Planning & Open Space
• The updated open space plan provides an opportunity to make these spaces a true gathering place for the community and not just visitors. • The pedestrian experience is vital this project. Continue to develop the plan for pedestrians along Santa Monica Boulevard and Second Street. The overall site must feel like a space and project for the community instead of just hotel. • It is beneficial that site planning and project design are still a “work in progress” and subject to more study.
• The east/west paseo between the hotel and restaurants needs more consideration; it appears to be the back side of the restaurants and driven by retail program. The use of the space seems wasteful and not fully conceived yet.

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 347 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 • The courtyard south of the museum campus that leads to ballroom doesn’t serve a purpose or create a place of interest.

Mobility/Circulation
• Mobility questions are important and require additional consideration and input from the City in terms of functionality and City policies/goals. How will vehicles get to/from the project? Think about flows for all modes and impacts to circulation in the surrounding area and specifically along Second Street. • The First Court paseo is a positive component of the project – it will increase pedestrian safety.
• Breaking up the alley network with the closure and redirection of First Court may create the feeling of a superblock even with site porosity created by paseos.

Museum Campus & Treatment of Historic Features
• It is hard to imagine the proposed museum as background building; it needs to have its own identity.
• The museum is a 60-foot tall building behind 30-foot tall Landmark structures; it will be quite visible.
• While the museum campus concept will continue to be refined, the ideas/aspirations of the courtyard are not clear and defined enough yet. • The design of the museum building should be simple and elegant but still special. • The museum courtyard could be a fun space for community members to explore and enjoy - and it could be heart of the project. Consider expanding this space further and consider connecting to the observation deck entrance.

Sustainability
• Sustainability will be an important component of the project. It is correct that the LEED certification framework is not the only metric. The Applicant hasn’t addressed yet how the project will generate its own power and accommodate the practical necessity of developing a resilient building.

Community Benefits
• The art museum/cultural institution is a much-needed community benefit. • The proposed affordable housing is a good balance for the hotel use. • The DCP community benefit priorities are relevant – also see DCP Table 2A3 for a more detailed community benefit categories.

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 348 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 • The project should provide more affordable housing – although it is understandable why the replacement rent-controlled units are separated from the overall unit count for the purposes of calculating the baseline percentage of affordable units. o Replacement rent-controlled units should be included in the calculation of total units: aim for 30% of all units as affordable.
o Consider the income targeting as set forth in the DCP but provide more lower-income category units.
• The project will need a robust Transportation Demand Management Program with a program to incentivize non-SOV trips to the museum and hotel. • Refer to the local hiring framework that has been defined in recently-approved development agreements, including hiring disadvantaged individuals.

Community Members’ Comments at Planning Commission, May 2, 2018 Several speakers expressed support for the project:
• Project will be an asset to the community.
• The open space concept is a unique and important characteristic of the project design and it will successfully engage pedestrians.
• The speaker did not support the Downtown Community Plan; however, the rules are now established by the adopted plan. The revised project should be supported for the following reasons:
o Project incorporates only 65% of the maximum allowable FAR permitted by the DCP for the site.
o The design incorporates thoughtful building articulation, shaping, and internal circulation; the tower element has a minimal footprint; and the average height is lower than what could be proposed.
o The project design would be less successful with a building height at 84’ which would result in a boxy, spread-out project.
o Appreciates that Mr. Gehry is considering his work and legacy for the Santa Monica community.
o Based on working with Mr. Worthe on the Bergamot Arts Center advisory committee, the speaker believe he is trustworthy and will develop a high quality project as indicated.
• Project will be an attribute to the Downtown and should address sustainability in a substantive manner:
o Durability of construction within the context of climate change; consider energy use in construction and operations; include adequate EV charging stations including fast chargers (available to public).

12.A.d
Packet Pg. 349 Attachment: Attachment B Public Notice_Planning Commission Letters_Prelim Concept Discussions 2018 (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project Attachment B July 14, 2022 Several speakers stated their objection to the project:
• The project will cut off air and light on Second Street; it is oversized and a ‘monstrosity’; and the buildings will add weight and destabilize the bluffs. • Project is too large and dwarfs surrounding buildings and is excessive for the coastline.

Comments provided about project features and community benefits:
• The affordable housing component should be geared towards two- and threebedroom units with free access to museum provided with the affordable units. • It may be beneficial to require a higher percentage of two- and three-bedrooms units (affordable and market rate) to encourage family housing. • Consider data sources like Wellbeing Index, Open Data, and other data indices as basis for community benefit negotiations: o Include services for affordable units o Consider how community benefits can address social service needs; this discussion should be data-driven to identify emerging and flexible need. • Concern was expressed about the long-term viability of the museum; the development agreement should require a covenant to maintain the museum in perpetuity.

4. Add the following sentence to Development Agreement Section 2.8.2(a) at the end of the “Rehabilitation” paragraph as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if evidence of additional character-defining features is discovered during the course of rehabilitation that the qualified historic preservation professional determines potentially warrants additional restoration work not previously anticipated to the Queen Anne Landmark to restore it to its 1906 date of construction and such restoration would not be in conflict with the rehabilitation work approved by the Certificate of Appropriateness to adaptively use the Queen Anne Landmark as part of the Cultural Uses Campus, then that discovery shall be identified to the City Landmarks Commission Planning Staff Liaison (Historic Preservation Officer) to consider whether such further restoration can be administratively approved by the Historic Preservation Officer as a minor modification to the Certificate of Appropriateness. If such restoration work can be approved administratively without causing delays to the construction schedule and is approved, then such further restoration work shall be completed.

Alternatively, where any such in situ discovery does not warrant actual restoration, this newly discovered information shall, at a minimum, be added to

Packet Pg. 367 Attachment: Attachment D Ordinance Development Agreement 7-14-2022 Part 1 to exhibit F [Revision 3] (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project 12 of 19
Development Agreement Findings

1. The proposed Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The 2010 Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) and 2017 Downtown Community Plan (DCP) are the City’s applicable general and specific plans. The Ocean Avenue Project site is located in the 2010 LUCE’s Downtown District and has a Downtown Core General Plan Land Use Designation. Policies in this District are geared primarily toward reinforcing the Downtown as the focus of the City, encouraging a broad mix of uses and new investment in the District that creates dynamic daytime and evening activity, and reinforces the Downtown as the place with the greatest concentration of activity in the City. As outlined in the LUCE, this broad mix of uses in the Downtown includes retail, hotels, office, high-density residential, and entertainment and cultural uses (Goal D.7, Policy D.7.1). With respect to Downtown residential development, units with a diversity of types, forms, sizes, tenure, and affordability for all income levels are encouraged (Policy D7.7). Policy D1.4 also states that new and expanded hotels and other visitor-serving uses are also to be encouraged. General LUCE discussion about the Downtown District recognizes that the Downtown is considered a true urban place where streets are important pedestrian activity spaces, buildings are generally the tallest in the City, and the intensity of development is higher than in the rest of the City (page 1.3.8). The LUCE’s Downtown District also specifically identifies the subject property as one of seven sites in the Downtown District to

12.A.f
Packet Pg. 368 Attachment: Attachment D Ordinance Development Agreement 7-14-2022 Part 1 to exhibit F [Revision 3] (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project 13 of 19
focus new investment given its accessibility to transit and ability to accommodate mixed-use development, contribute to the pedestrian-oriented environment, and support substantial community benefits; (Goal D1.5). DCP Goal LU1 supports the Downtown Community Plan area as a high quality, mixed-use district offering opportunities for housing for people across the income spectrum, jobs, arts and culture, local-serving retail and community/visitor gathering places. The proposed project is consistent with these LUCE and DCP goals and policies based on the project’s mix of uses comprised of a new full-service hotel, provision of 64 marketrate housing units, 25 deed-restricted affordable housing units, and 11 rentcontrolled housing units, retail and dining, and a full range of community benefits.

These community benefits include the commitment to construct and operate a Cultural Uses Campus open to the public; protection of two designated historic Landmark Buildings; provision of publicly-accessible open space; and a development plan that includes buildings with a range of building heights from 53’ to a maximum height of 130’ while still providing substantial ground level open space on the parcel.

2. The proposed Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in the district in which the real property is located, in that the subject property is located in the Downtown District that allows multi-family residential uses and a wide range of commercial and community-serving uses. The proposed Development Agreement is consistent with LUCE Goal D7, Policy D7.1, and DCP Goal LU1.2 which all seek to create a balanced mix of uses in the Downtown that

12.A.f
Packet Pg. 369 Attachment: Attachment D Ordinance Development Agreement 7-14-2022 Part 1 to exhibit F [Revision 3] (4857 : Ocean Avenue Project 14 of 19
reinforces the area’s role as having the greatest concentration of activity in the City. DCP Policy LU1.2 supports accommodating the development of uses that support a 17 hours a day/7 days a week environment that meets the needs of businesses and residents; such uses include retail goods and services, food stores, restaurants and cafés, hotels, health clubs, entertainment and comparable uses. The project proposes a full-service hotel, other commercial retail and restaurant uses as part of the project, and a Cultural Uses Campus that will provide opportunities for residents and visitors alike to experience a world-class cultural use venue. Further, the project proposes 100 residential units, of which 25 units will be deed-restricted affordable housing units for households of varying income levels within the Downtown, consistent with LUCE Policy D7.7

3. The proposed Development Agreement is in conformity with the public necessity, public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practices, in that it allows for the redevelopment of an underutilized property that would benefit from reinvestment to increase employment, create new transit occupancy taxes paid to the City, and to create a mixed-use project consisting of a full-service hotel, new housing units in the Downtown, and a new Cultural Uses Campus available to the public that is consistent with the 2010 Land and Use Circulation Element’s vision for the area. The proposed project would also preserve and adaptively reuse two designated City Landmark Buildings as part of the Cultural Uses Campus.
