Ths site is located a£ the northeast comer of Ventura Boulevard and Coktwater Canyon Avenue and the Los Angeles River. The site is currently occupied by a banquet hafi that» adjacent to a related hotel and the banquet hall will be demolished as a result of the proposed Project Note: The Sportsman's Lodge Mote! is not part of the Project and no parking for the Prefect wil occur on the Hotel site. There will be five (5) buildings on the subject site with the fbttowing square footage: a two-story building that is 57,181 square feet, a one-story buikflng that is 18,389 square feet a two-atofy building that ie 12,040 square feet, a one-story building that is 7,209 square fed anda one-story building that is2,789 square fed. The project wOl have a Floor Area Ratio of 0.39:1.0 and a lot coverage of 29%. The project requires 1,840 cubic yards of grading on-sfte. The proposed project requires a Specific Plan Adjustment to permit a building height of 33 feet, in lieu of the 30 feet permitted by the Venture/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Ran and e Project Permit Compliance. As part of the Project Permit Compliance, the project seeks determination from the Director to permit shared parking across six lots and the establshment of a sign program. LAMC would require 702 parking spaces but a shared parking analysis was completed by the applicant that demonstrated that the Project needs 440 spaces at the peak and wiH accommodate those spaces on-site. As a resuB of the shared parking agreement, the applicant is proposing 446 parking spaces through tandem/mechanicai lifts and a valet program.ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS:The project site is an irregularty-ahaped 248,958 square-foot lot consisting of six (6) parcels. Five (S) of the parcels are owned by the applcant while the sixth, which fronts on Coktwater Canyon Avenue, is occupied by a LA City Fire Station and its use for the subject project is contingent of fired sale to the subject applicant. Tha subject site is currenty developed wfih a banquet hal tha* was built in 1936 that has soma potentially historically significant landscape elements that were reviewed by the Los Angeles City Council (see CFQ2-2698). The Project wE include landscaping as required by this motion.

The property surrounds an existing hotel (Sportsman Lodge) that has a frontage on Ventura Boulevard of approximately 275 feat On the west side of the hotel, the subject site has approximately 240 feet of linear frontage on Ventura Boulevard and approxfrnateiy 90 feet of linear frontage on the east side of the hotel. Fronting the Los Angeles River, the subject site has approximately 760 feet of linear frontage. Along Coktwater Canyon Avenue, the subject site has approxkneteiy 320 feet of frontage (including the 83 feet of frontage that the fire station lot occupies).

The project is located in the Sherman Oaks > Studio City - Toluca Lake - Cahuenga Pass Community Plan, fee Venture/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan and the Los Angeles River Reviiafizalion Master Pten.

The project is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zona, is 2.6 km from fee Hollywood Fault Line and in a Liquefaction Zone.

The land use ami zoning within a 500 foot radius of the subject site are as fellows: there is a grocery store zoned C2-1VL md a retail complex zoned C1.5-1VL to the south, the LA-River to the noife, a retail complex zoned C1.5-TVL to the east and a commercial

O I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a eigmfteant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVEDECLARATION wffl be prepared.

^ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there wlH not be ssignificant effect in this case became revisions on the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION wffl be prepared.

□ I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

□ I find the proposed project MAY heve a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" imped on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an eerier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IM*ACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only ths effects that remain to be addressed.

Q I find that although the proposed project coiid have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentiallysignificant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or nritigsted pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, Including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Attach edtasonta thesis K nacesssiy)

Tha Environmental Impact Assessment Includes ths use of official City of Los Angelas and other government source reference materials related to various environmental Impact categories (e.g., Hydrology, Air Quality, Biology, Cultural Resources, etc.). The State of California, Deportment of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology - Seismic Hazard Maps and reports, are used to identify potential future significant seismic events; including probable magnitudes, liquefaction, and landslide hazards. Based on appficant information provided in the Master Land Use Application and Environmental Assessment Form, impact evaluations were based on stated facts contained tharein, Including but not limited to, reference materials indicated above, field investigation of the project sBe, and any other reliable reference materials known at the time.

Project specific impacts were evaluated based on aH relevant facts indicated in the Environmental Assessment Form and expressed through the applicant's project description ami supportive materials. Both the Initial Study Checklist and Checklist Explanations, in conjunction with the City of Los Angeles's Adopted Thresholde Guide and CEQA Guidelines, were used to reach reasonable conclusions on environmental impacts as mandated under the Cafifomta Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Th® prqject as identified in the project description may cause potential significant impacts on the environment without mitigation. Therefore, this environmental analysis concludes that a Mitigated Negative Declaration shal be issued to avoid and mitigate afl potential adverse impacts on the environment by the imposition of mitigation measures and/or conditions contained and a)q>ressed in this document; the environmental case file known asENV-2014487-MND and the associated case(s), DTR-2014JJM-SPP-SPPA. Finally, based on toe feet that these Impacts can be feostoty mitigated to less titan significant, and based on the findings and thresholds for Mandatory Findings of Significance as described in the Cafifomia Environmental QuaSty Act, section 15065, the overall project impacts) on the environment (after mitigation) will not;

• Substantially degrade environmental quality.• Substantially reduce fish or wildlife habitat.• Cause a fifth or wjhflHto habSat to dno betow self iuttoinina teveli.• Threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community.• Reduce number, or restrict range of a rare, threatened, or endangered spades.• Ellmin&te important examples of major periods of Callfomle history or prehistory.• Achieve short-term goals to the rfisadvantege of long-term goals.• Result in environmental effects that are IndMduaty limited but cumulativaly considerable.• Result in environmental effects that wiii cause substantia! adverse effects on human beings.
