BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
At its meeting of June 8, 2016, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended to the City Council approval of following entitlements:
• Comprehensive Plan (CP - P2015054) to establish development standards, approved land uses, and site plan and architectural design for the Project;
• Zoning Code Map Amendment (ZCMA - P2015055) to establish a Planned Development Zoning designation for the subject site;
• General Plan Map Amendment (GPMA - 2015056) to establish a Planned Development General Plan land use designation for the subject site; and
• Tentative Tract Map (TTM - 2015057) to subdivide the property into 10 land lots.
At the City Council meeting of July 25, 2016, the City Council unanimously adopted the Ordinance approving the above-listed entitlements.
Pursuant to the City Council’s direction, the proposed Ordinance includes the following additions to the Project conditions of approval (see Conditions of Approval set forth in Attachment No. 1):
• The following subsection “o” was added to Condition No. 24:
The applicant shall provide a study to install of a high efficiency air filtration system in the Assisted Living Facility and install same if economically feasible.
• The following language was added to Section 30:
The landscape plans shall include native, drought tolerant planting in compliance with the Culver City Urban Forest Master Plan and the Culver City Residential Parkway Guidelines, as applicable. Such landscape plans shall include planting to effectively provide a privacy screen in consultation with abutting owners.
The proposed Ordinance is brought back tonight for adoption by the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, an Initial Study prepared for the project determined that the project, with mitigation measures incorporated, will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) finding is appropriate.

By adoption of the proposed Ordinance, the City Council will be (1) adopting the MND, in accordance with CEQA, finding the Project, as mitigated, will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts; and (2) adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which prescribes mitigation measures that will reduce the Project’s potentially significant impacts to a less than significant levels.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The adoption of the proposed ordinance does not create a fiscal impact.
