Public Comment – Opposition to Proposed 449Unit Residential Development at 3610 Torrance Boulevard
I am writing as a longterm Torrance resident to express my strong opposition to the proposed 449unit residential development at 3610 Torrance Boulevard within the Hawthorne Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan (HDA1 Zone).

Torrance is a city people choose because of its balance: livable neighborhoods, manageable density, and infrastructure that—while already strained—has historically been planned with residents in mind. This project represents a scale and intensity of development that fundamentally undermines that balance.

Torrance Boulevard and the surrounding corridors are already overburdened. Traffic congestion is not a hypothetical concern; it is a daily reality for residents, commuters, and local businesses. Adding hundreds of new residential units without demonstrably sufficient road capacity improvements will worsen gridlock, lengthen emergency response times, and degrade overall quality of life. The idea that this level of density can be absorbed without serious impacts defies both lived experience and common sense.

Equally concerning is the strain this development will place on public services and infrastructure—schools, water, sewer, and emergency services that are already operating near capacity. Longterm residents have watched class sizes grow, response times stretch, and maintenance lag behind growth. Approving a project of this magnitude without concrete, enforceable infrastructure solutions shifts the cost and burden directly onto existing residents.

This proposal also raises serious questions about compatibility with the surrounding area. Torrance is not downtown Los Angeles, and it should not be treated as such.

Highdensity, largescale developments may satisfy abstract housing targets, but they come at the expense of neighborhood character, local businesses, and the very qualities that make Torrance a desirable place to live.

Housing needs are real, but not all housing proposals are appropriate in all locations or at all scales. Smart growth requires thoughtful planning, not blanket approvals driven by pressure to meet numerical goals. This project feels disconnected from the realities on the ground and from the voices of residents who will live with its consequences long after approval hearings are over.

I urge the Planning Commission and City Council to reject this proposal as currently designed. Torrance deserves development that is measured, compatible, and respectful of existing communities—not projects that overwhelm infrastructure and erode the quality of life for longstanding residents.

Please prioritize the people who already call Torrance home.

Respectfully,
A LongTerm Torrance Resident

This correspondence is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) and its members living and/or working in and around the City of Rancho Cucamonga (“City”) regarding SAFER’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision approving the Vista Homes Residential Project (CUP25-00003 and DVP25-00001 ) (“Project”) and the proposed adoption of a California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 32 Categorical Infill Exemption (“ In-Fill

Exemption”).

On
November 3, 2025, SAFER submitted comments to the Planning Commission, expressing its concerns regarding the City’s reliance on the In-Fill Exemption for the Project, stating that the

terms of the exemption do not apply to the Project. On November 17, 2025, SAFER submitted a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s November 5, 2025, decision to approve the Project and In-Fill Exemption. SAFER’s comments are supported by

air quality
experts Dr. Paul Rosenfeld, Ph.D., and Matt Hagemann, P.G., C.Hg. whose

comments are

4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Project proposes an eight-story mixed-use building that would include 449 residential units and a two-level parking structure with 815 parking spaces, located at 2610 Torrance Boulevard in the City of Torrance. The project site is a 4.03-acre lot with an existing one-story, 46,585 square-foot commercial building, which would be demolished as part of the Project.

LEGAL STANDARD

CEQA mandates that “the long-term protection of the environment . . . shall be the guiding criterion in public decisions” throughout California. (Pub. Resources Code (“PRC”) § 21001(d).) A “project” is “the whole of an action” directly undertaken, supported, or authorized by a public agency “which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” (PRC § 21065; 14 CCR § 15378(a).) CEQA requires environmental factors to be considered at the “earliest possible stage . . . before [the project] gains irreversible momentum,” (Bozung v. LAFCO

(1975) 13 Cal.3d 263,
284 n.28), “at a point in the planning process where genuine flexibility remains.”

(Sundstrom v.

Mendocino County (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 296, 307.)

To achieve its objectives of environmental protection, CEQA has a three-tiered structure. (14 CCR § 15002(k);

Committee to Save the Hollywoodland Specific Plan v. City of Los Angeles

(2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 1168, 1185-86.) First, if a project falls into an exempt category, or it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment, no further evaluation is required under CEQA. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(1).) Second, if the project is not exempt and there is a

possibility the project will have a significant effect on the environment, an initial threshold study is required. (14 CCR § 15002(k)(2).) Third, either a mitigated negative declaration is required if the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect (id.) or an environmental impact report is required if the initial study shows that the project may have a significant effect (14 CCR § 15002(k)(3). Because staff has recommended that the Commission find the Project to be exempt from CEQA, we are at the first step in the process.

CEQA identifies certain classes of projects which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. These are called categorical exemptions. (14 CCR §§ 15300, 15354.) “Exemptions to CEQA are narrowly construed and “‘[e]xemption categories are not to be expanded beyond the reasonable scope of their statutory language.’” (Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish & Game Com. (1997) 16 Cal.4th 105, 125.) Here, staff has recommended that the Project is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA’s Infill Exemption (14 CCR § 15332.)

Under CEQA’s Infill Exemption, a project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA if the project meets the following five conditions:

Project

4 (a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and
regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
(c) The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
(e)

The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

Furthermore,

a
n agency may not rely on a categorical exemption if to do so would require the imposition of mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant effects. (Salmon Protection & Watershed Network v. County of Marin (2004) 125 Cal.App.4th 1098, 1108 (“SPAWN”);

Azusa
Land Reclamation Co. v. Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster (1997) 52 Cal.App.4th 1165, 1198

-
1201 (“ Azusa”).) If mitigation measures are necessary, then at a minimum, the agency must prepare a mitigated negative declaration to analyze the impacts, and to determine whether the mitigation measures are adequate to reduce the impacts to below significance. (Id.)

DISCUSSION
I. The Project Requires Mitigation to Avoid Significant Air Quality Impacts, Precluding Reliance on the Infill Exemption.

The Project includes a “design feature ” that would require the use of Tier 4 construction equipment. However, the City’s designation of this requirement to use Tier 4 equipment as a “design feature” does not make it so. The City cannot escape CEQA’s prohibition against mitigated exemptions by claiming that the required use of Tier 4 equipment is a “design

feature.”
While it is true that design features are not considered mitigation measures, instances where courts have found that a “mitigation measure” is actually a “design feature” are hardly analogous to the circumstances here.

For example, in the case of

Wollmer

v. City of Berkeley

(2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 1329,
1352-53 (“Wollmer”), the court held that a project was properly exempted from

CEQA where the
developer dedicated land to the city for a left-turn lane, which reduced traffic impacts to less- than-significant level

. The court concluded that the dedication of the left
-turn lane “was not a
CEQA mitigation measure for project impacts, but a component of the project that assisted the City with an

existing traffic

issue.” (
Wollmer, 193 Cal.App.4th at 1352 [emph. added].)
Furthermore,

the left

-
turn lane dedication was not a mitigation measure because it became a physical “part of the project’s design—

it was never a proposed mitigation measure.” (
Id. at 1352
[emph. in original].) Similarly, in

Save the Plastic Bag Coalition v. City and Cnty. of San 6 January 26, 2026
SAFER Comment on

Vista Homes Residential

Project

Page

4 of

4 Francisco (2013) 222 Cal.App.4th 863, 881-83 (“Save the Plastic Bag ”), the court held that a 10-cent fee for compostable or paper bags was not a mitigation measure for the city’s ban on plastic bags because the fee “directly addressed the problem of single use bags, a

problem that
preexisted the proposed project.” (Save the Plastic Bag

, 222 Cal.App.4th at 883 [emph. added].)
The court expressly distinguished the 10-cent fee from cases involving “proposed subsequent actions by the project’s proponent to mitigate or offset [a project’s] alleged adverse environmental impacts.” (Id. at 882-83.)

Here, there can be no doubt that the purpose of using Tier 4 equipment for this Project is to mitigate the Project’s construction emissions. Indeed, the Supplement Notice of Exemption (“Supplement”) explains that the incorporation of Tier 4 construction equipment will “ensure that construction emissions do not exceed air quality emission thresholds.” (Supplement, p. 8.) Furthermore, SAFER’s air quality experts Dr. Rosenfeld and Mr. Hagemann noted that if Tier 4 equipment was not implemented and enforced on the Project Site, the construction emission estimates that the Supplement provides would

result in the Project’s emissions being
underestimated. (Exhibit A, pp. 5-6.) Thus, the

Project’s potential air quality impacts would not
occur

but for
the construction of the Project. Because the inclusion of Tier 4 equipment is a “proposed subsequent action[]” necessary “to mitigate or offset the alleged adverse environmental impacts,” it must be considered a mitigation measure and the Project cannot be exempt from CEQA.

CONCLUSION

For the forgoing reasons, SAFER respectfully requests that the City Council grant the appeal and deny approval of the Project.

The Project cannot be categorically exempted from
CEQA review. CEQA review should be required prior to Project approval to ensure that the Project’s impacts are properly analyzed and that binding mitigation measures are imposed as conditions of approval.

Subject: Comments on the

Vista Homes Apartments
Project
Dear Mr. Drury,
We have reviewed the October 2025

Supplement to Notice of Exemption (“

Exemption
”) for the

Vista
Homes Apartments Project (“Pro

ject”) located in the City of

Torrance
(“City”). The P

roject proposes to
construct 449 apartment units and 815 parking spaces on the 4.03-acre site.

Our review concludes that the Exemption fails to adequately evaluate the Project’s air q

uality
impacts.

As a result, the proposed Project does not qualify for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and 14 Cal. Code of Regs. 1500 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”) and, therefore, a full CEQA analysis must b

e prepared to adequately assess and mitigate
the potential air quality impacts that the Project may have on the environment.

Air Quality
Reliance on Class 32 Categorical Exemption
The Exemption claims that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Guidelines § 15332. According to the Exemption:
“The proposed project is exempt from further environmental review under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.) because it is consistent with Class 32, In-

Fill Development Projects.

» Class 32, In-

Fill Development Projects (CEQA Guidelines § 15332) consists of projects characterized as in

fill development meeting the conditions described in this section.

f. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

9 2

g. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.

h. The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
i. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
j. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services” (p. 3).

As demonstrated above, a project can only be characterized as an in-

fill development and qualify for a
Section 15332 CEQA Exemption if approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. However,

the
Exemption’s air quality analysis is
insufficient and thus the Project’s less-

than
-

significant
determination should not be relied upon

Unsubstantiated Input Parameters Used to Estimate Project Emissions When reviewing the Project’s CalEEMod output files, provided in the Air Quality Analysis (“AQ Analysis”) as Appendix I to the Exemption,

we
identified several model inputs related to Project construction

and
operation that are inconsistent with information disclosed in the Exemption. A full CEQA analysis

should

be prepared to include an updated air quality analysis that

provides a more detailed evaluation of
the
impact that construction and operation of the Project

may
have on local and regional air quality.

Unsubstantiated Changes to Construction Off-Road Equipment Parameters Review of the CalEEMod output files demonstrates that the “ VHO- 01 v2 Custom Report ” model includes changes to the default off-road construction equipment input parameters

(see
screenshot below)
(Appendix I, pp. 102).

As a result of these changes, the model includes the following construction equipment list (Appendix I, pp. 88, 89):
10 3

The CalEEMod User’s Guide requires any changes to model defaults be justified.1 The justification provided for these changes is:
“Adjusted equipment based on applicant input” (Appendix

I
, pp. 102).

However, in regard to the model’s construction equipment, the AQ Analysis includes the following table and explicitly states that

,
“[w]here information has not been provided by the District, CalEEMod default equipment, worker, and vendor trips have been used” (see screenshot below) (Appendix I, pp. 10, 11

1 “CalEEMod User’s Guide.” CAPCOA, May 2021, available at: https://www.aqmd.gov/caleemod/user's - guide , p. 1,

14. 11
4 As demonstrated above, the table includes one type of

off

road
equipment for each construction phase

,
with an operating duration of 6 hours per day.

However, this construction e
quipment list remains
unsubstantiated, as CalEEMod default parameters—as claimed by the AQ Analysis—were not used whatsoever. The CalEEMod User’s Guide indicates that “[t]he model assumes default operation activity of 8 hours per day and 260 days per year

.
”2 Thus, 8 hours of equipment usage should have also been used.

CalEEMod uses the off-

road equipment
unit amounts, horsepower, and hours of use per day values to calculate the emissions associated with off-

road construction equipment.3 By including unsupported
changes to the default off-road construction equipment

values
, the model may underestimate the
Project’s construction-

related emissions and should not be relied upon to determine Project significance.

I ncorrect Application of Construction Engine Tier 4 Final Mitigation The “VHO- 01 v2 Custom Report ” model includes the following construction mitigation measure (see screenshot below) (Appendix I, pp. 26).

Accordingly, the “VHO-

01 v2 Custom Report
” model also includes changes to the off-

road construction
equipment input parameters and assumes that the Project’s off-

road equipment fleet would meet Tier 4
Interim

emissions standards (see screenshot below) (Appendix I, pp.

88, 89

Regarding the use of advanced engine tiers, the Exemption states:
“All construction equipment and workers will be within the boundaries of the project site and would use Tier 4 equipment for all applicable equipment over 25 horsepower, and contractors will adhere to construction noise regulations” (p

. 2).

However, the inclusion of more stringent emissions standards remains unsupported as the Exemption does not explicitly require advanced engine tiers, specifically Tier 4 Interim, through a formal mitigation measure. According
to the Association of Environmental Professionals (“AEP”)

CEQA Portal Topic Paper

on mitigation measures:

“While not ‘mitigation’, a good practice is to include those project design feature(s) that address environmental impacts in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). Often the MMRP is all that accompanies building and construction plans through the permit process. If the design features are not listed as important to addressing an environmental impact, it is easy for someone not involved in the original environmental process to approve a change to the project that could eliminate one or more of the design features without understanding the resulting environmental impact.

”4

4 “CEQA Portal Topic Paper Mitigation Measures.” AEP, February 2020, available at:
https://ceqaportal.org/tp/CEQA%20Mitigation%202020.pdf
, p. 6.

13 6

As the inclusion of

Tier 4

Interim
emissions standards

on the Project site is not formally included as

a
mitigation measure

,
we cannot guarantee that

it
would be implemented, monitored, and enforced on
the Project site.

By including
Tier 4 Interim emissions standards

without properly committing to

its

implementation, the
model may underestimate the Project’s

construction
emissions and should not be
relied upon to determine Project significance.

Unsubstantiated Changes to Operational Hearth and Energy Use Values Review of the CalEEMod output files demonstrates that “ VHO- 01 v2 Custom Report ” model includes changes to the default hearth and energy use values (see screenshot below) (Appendix I, pp. 102

As previously stated, the CalEEMod User’s Guide requires any changes to model defaults be justified. 5 The justifications provided for these changes are:
“Adjusted gas stoves to electric” and “Adjusted to account for all-

electric building
,” respectively
(Appendix I, pp. 102

However, the

changes to the default number of
hearths and energy use values in the model

remain
unsupported. The Exemption not only fails to

include
the above project design feature (“

PDF
”) as a
formal mitigation measure, but also fails to even mention an all-

electric building design whatsoever.

As
previously discussed, the AEP states that PDFs that are not formally included as mitigation measures may be eliminated from the Project’s design altogether.6 Therefore, until the Exemption incorporates formal mitigation

measures

that require the Project to

have an all
-electric building design

, we cannot
verify that the above changes are accurate.
