Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance, amending the
Culver City Zoning Map, as referenced in Title 17, Zoning, of the Culver City
Municipal Code, Section 17.200.015, establishing Planned Development Zone No.
11 (Zoning Code Map Amendment, ZCMA-P2012085) for the Washington National
Transit Oriented Development (Washington National TOD).
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
At its meeting of October 4, 2012, the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended to the City Council approval of ZCMA-P2012085 establishing the
Washington National TOD PD Zone No. 11. During its deliberations the Planning
Commission recommended the City Council consider allowing proposed site
development to exceed the required height limit only where necessary to
accommodate improved building massing and architectural design objectives without
exceeding the overall development thresholds outlined in the established PD Zone.
At the City Council meeting of November 12, 2012, the City Council unanimously
introduced Zoning Code Amendment ZCA P-2011154. A subsequent motion was

Agenda Item Report
made to approve the additional recommendation of the Planning Commission to
allow for a potential height exception|1010| for future site development providing the
development was otherwise consistent with the development thresholds established
under PD Zone No. 11. That motion was approved by the City Council 4-1
(Councilmember Sahli-Wells voting no). It should be noted that City Council action
this evening does not grant a height exception for future site development, it merely
allows for the developer to apply for a height exception during the project entitlement
process.
The Ordinance, including the recommendation to allow for a potential height
exception, is brought back tonight for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed rezoning will have no fiscal impact upon the City because the zoning
is only implemented through approval of a Comprehensive Plan submitted by the
project developer. The developer will be required to conduct an environmental
analysis and mitigate any impacts of development through the Comprehensive Plan
review process. Upon development of the site, the project will provide sales tax,
property tax, utility user tax and transient occupancy tax to the City. The site is
currently surface parking for the Expo Light Rail Station and will be used for that
purpose until site development.

MOTION:
That the City Council:
Adopt the proposed Ordinance amending the Culver City Zoning Map, as
referenced in Title 17, Zoning, of the Culver City Municipal Code, Section
17.200.015, establishing a Planned Development Zone for the Washington
National TOD.
|1010| Culver City Municipal Code § 17.300.025.C.1 allows for the City Council to grant an exception to the height limits for
a project on the condition that it is consistent with a Design for Development (DFD) established by the former Culver
City Redevelopment Agency (“Former CCRA”) for the area in which the project is located. Although the Former
CCRA has been dissolved, existing DFDs are still valid and the provisions of Section 17.300.025.C.1 still apply. In
addition, new DFDs may be established by the City. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34173(i), “at the
request of the city, county, or city and county that authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency, all land use related City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
plans and functions of the former redevelopment agency are transferred to the city, county, or city and county that
authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency; provided, however, that the city, county, or city and county shall not
create a new project area, add territory to, or expand or change the boundaries of a project area, or take any action that
would increase the amount of obligated property tax (formerly tax increment) necessary to fulfill any existing
enforceable obligation beyond what was authorized as of June 27, 2011.” A separate item on tonight’s agenda
recommends the City Council adopt a resolution transferring to the City the land use related plans and functions of the
Former CCRA, including, but not limited to, designs for development.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
I. Purpose and Intent
Culver City is seeking to encourage development of the Washington National
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) site (the “Site") as a model, sustainable mixed
use project that effectively brings housing, shopping and employment together in
order to promote important goals of improved air quality and regional mobility. The
City wishes to encourage transit oriented development, while mitigat ing any
potentially significant development impacts through establishment of a Planned
Development (PD) Zone. The Site is located within two cities, Culver City and Los
Angeles, and within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit
Authority (LACMTA).
The purpose of the Washington National TOD Planned Development (PD) Zone
No. 11 , ZCMA-P2012085, (the “Washington National PD Zone”) , is to establish
development standards, allowable land uses and permit requirements for the Site,
while mitigating any potentially significant development impacts. Such PD zoning
designation lays the foundation for the future development of the S ite with a mix of
compatible land uses including office, retail, restaurant, hotel and residential
adjacent to the Exposition Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station, thereby encouraging use
of convenient alternative transportation. The zoning designation is also proposed to
create a unique, pedestrian oriented development that fits within the surrounding
commercial and residential neighborhoods and is consistent with redevelopment
goals for the area. Further, the PD zoning is intended to ensure harmonious Site
development within Culver City, Los Angeles and on the LACMTA property.
Pursuant to Chapter 17.240, Planned Development Zoning Districts, and Chapter
17.560, Comprehensive Plans, of Title 17, Zoning, of the Culver City Municipal
Code (the “Zoning Code”), the PD Z one will be implemented upon future Planning
Commission and City Council approval of a Comprehensive Plan submitted by the
project developer for development of the property. The portion of the Site located
outside of Culver City will be rezoned thr ough separate but coordinated action by
the City of Los Angeles.
The Washington National PD Zone supplements, augments, and focuses the goals,
policies and objectives of the various planning documents affecting the Site. In
addition to the standards established herein, development of the Site must comply
with all other applicable procedures, provisions, rules, regulations and requirements
set forth in the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), including the Zoning Code, the
City’s General Plan and all implementation studies for the Washington National
TOD area.

II. History and Background
Since 2005, t he City has assembled the 31 separate parcels which comprise the
Site and worked with LACMTA to incorporate their right-of-way into the future
development of the Site. The City has also extensively studied various transit
oriented development scenarios and prepared related financial analyses to ensure
that the TOD project is both financially feasible and reflects good planning practice.
The following goals which have emerged from this process are central to
redevelopment of the Site.
A. Goals:
1. Create a horizontally and vertically integrated, pedestrian oriented, mixed
use, transit oriented development (TOD) that incorporates office, retail,
restaurants, hotel and housing.
2. Create a regional destination that provides regional benefits related to
jobs and housing.
3. Promote the LRT connection to USC, Staples Center and Downtown Los
Angeles and Downtown Culver City.
4. Fulfill the goal of transit oriented development by bringing shopping,
housing, and employment together to advance the goals of regional air
quality and mobility for the city and region.
5. Utilize a multi-jurisdictional approach to development involving LACMTA,
the City of Los Angeles, Cal Trans and Culver City to reduce
development costs and maximize parking and development opportunities.
6. Coordinate land use planning, streetscape design, entitlements, permit
issuance, inspections and encroachments between Culver City and Los
Angeles.
7. Provide a model sustainable development with integral solar technology
and other green building features for natural lighting, heating and cooling,
and organize the Site plan to reflect sustainable objectives.
8. Incorporate planned roadway widths and street dedications to allow
ample right of way for wide sidewalks, landscaping, pedestrian amenities
and bike paths or sharrows.
9. Avoid podium parking along streets and sidewalks and encourage
walkability in and around the Site.
ATTACHMENT 1,
EXHIBIT B
910. Connect the T OD with Culver City’s Hayden Tract, Arts District and
Downtown, with bike lanes, sharrows and shuttle service.
11. Encourage design that is fitting with the neighborhood scale and
compliant with the City’s development standards.
12. Consider opportunities for gateway features visually connecting TOD
properties to the east and south.
13. Promote project livability with a large, central, useable park space that
communicates with surrounding Site uses and provides turf areas to read
or toss a ball, supporting both active and passive recreation.
14. Develop attractive, wide, tree -lined sidewalks along the project street
frontage that accommodate pedestrian and ground level retail uses.
15. Provide ample setbacks for outdoor dining, seating, colonnades, trellis
structures and other amenities that support ground level retail and
pedestrian use.
16. Develop small scale ground level retail (not big box format).
17. Incorporate a boutique hotel as part of development program.
18. Maximize place- making potential for the project with creative design,
attractive Site amenities and a unique transit plaza connecting the
second story LRT platform to shops and plazas below.
III. Definitions
For the purposes of the Washington National PD Zone, the following definitions
shall apply:
1. Alternative Transportation Modes/Alternative Modes of Travel

IV. Project Description
The Washington National TOD site (the “Site”) is a triangular shaped property
bounded by Washington Boulevard on the south, National Boulevard on the east,
Venice Boulevard on the north, and the LACMTA right-of-way on the west. A
portion of t he LACMTA right-of-way, exclusive of the LRT , is to be included in the
Washington National PD Zone and will be part of the development parcel to be
considered in the future Comprehensive Plan process to be initiated by the project
Developer. (Zoning Map – Attachment No. 1). The project will include assembly of
several parcels and the filing of a subdivision map. (Site Map – Attachment No. 2)
The Site will also be comprised of a portion of Exposition Boulevard (now
abandoned), which is to be vacated as part of the Comprehensive Plan process.
ATTACHMENT 1,
EXHIBIT B
15
The Washington National PD Zone provides a unique opportunity to create a new
place-making, mixed use, transit oriented development . The Site is strategically
located adjacent to the Culver City Expo station and in proximity to Downtown
Culver City, the Hayden Tract, the Helms District and Arts District. The project
presents exceptional opportunities to promote transit use given its direct access to
the I -10 Freeway, Venice Boulevard and proximity to the Westside of Los Angeles.
(Location Map – Attachment No. 3).
The total developable area of the Site is 5.52 acres. There are 4.12 acres within
Culver City and 1.37 acres within the City of Los Angeles. The LACMTA right-of-
way is 1.42 acres. Culver City and LACMTA have entered into an Option and
Perpetual Easement Agreement for development of a portion of the LACMTA right-
of-way subject to terms and conditions that include unimpeded use and operation of
the Expo LRT and the provision of Expo parking. (Site Acreage Map – Attachment
No. 4)
V. Site Zoning
The Site is located in Culver City, Los Angeles and within LACMTA right-of-way.
Consequently there are multiple zoning classifications for the Site reflecting the
jurisdictions that have authority over land use. Within Culver City and inclusive of a
portion of abutting LACMTA right -of-way, the property will be zoned PD. The
remainder of the LACMTA right -of-way will retain a Transportation (T) zoning
designation consistent with the existing transportation related uses. The portion of
the Site located in Los Angeles will be zoned C2-2D including the abutting LACMTA
right-of-way to comport with the Culver City zoning (Zoning Map – Attachment No.
1). The height district “D” designation will limit building height and floor area
consistent with Culver City zoning. A corresponding General Plan Amendment will
also be part of the Los Angeles entitlement process. (Zoning Map -- Attachment
No. 1)
VI. Development Program
The PD Zone offers a range of development for the Site and provides for two
development phases. The final development program will be established upon
approval of a Comprehensive Plan by the Planning Commission and City Council
pursuant to Chapters 17.240 and 17.560 of the Zoning Code. The project is
envisioned as a low scale development ranging from three to five stories consistent
with the City’s height restrictions. Achieving the optimum development program is
important to ensure that the Site is appropriately sized and scaled to meet the TOD
objectives of bringing compatible uses together and creating the critical mass
necessary to help advance regional mobility needs. This can be done at the
Washington National TOD by developing a project that entirely comports with the
City’s zoning requirements and is planned with a large central open space and an
ATTACHMENT 1,
EXHIBIT B
16extensive network of pedestrian paths and plazas. The 5.52 acre site shall contain
a maximum building coverage of approximately 55 percent, reflecting the required
large central open space, transit plaza and the extensive use of public plazas and
landscaped pedestrian paths within and surrounding the Site. The low Site building
coverage is also determined by required parking supply.
Parking is a significant and costly constraint on development since the project
parking is generally limited to two subterranean parking levels which must
accommodate all required project and Expo parking. (See Project Parking section
below). Further, the triangle shape of the Site is a significant development and
parking constraint. While the shape of the Site significantly limits parking, building
efficiency and the scope o f development, incorporating LACMTA right of way
through the LACMTA Option and Easement Agreements and utilizing parking
encroachments to the curb line of Venice Boulevard and within National Boulevard
helps alleviate the inefficiencies.
(See Range of Development Table Below)
ATTACHMENT 1,

1. Assume retail: 13,000 sq. ft. (min) and 73,000 sq. ft. (max).
2. Assume restaurant: 12,000 sq. ft. (min) and (max).
3. Site coverage is limited to 55% except that the coverage factor may be exceeded only by that amount
necessary to accommodate building articulation, green building principles and architectural design
features.
4. Project residential density is limited to 50 dwelling units per acre except pursuant to the Mixed Use
Ordinance, where a community benefit is approved through the Comprehensive Plan approval process
allowing up to 65 dwelling units per acre within the TOD District.
5. Residential Parking: Assume 2-3 bedroom units @ 2 per unit + 1 guest per 4 units = 2.25 per unit.
6. Hotel Parking:1 per room + 1 per 20 rooms. Mtg. Rms: 2,000 sq. ft. @ 1 per 100 sq. ft. = 20 spaces.
7. See Attachment No. 5 for all required parking ratios.
8. 1,567 spaces are provided, but 1,526 spaces are the total required for the maximum development program.
Therefore the net required with Expo parking is 926 Phase I and 1,226 Phase II.
Where parking demand exceeds supply on 2 subterranean levels, a third parking level shall be required.
9. Phase I Expo requires 600 parking spaces, Phase II Expo parking reduces to 300 spaces and permits
Phase II development of the TOD.

B. Project Parking
The minimum parking supply to be provided on site is 1,567 spaces which must
fully accommodate the total development program under current parking code
requirements with the mix of uses and development ranges identified above.
The final project parking supply and design will be established through the
Comprehensive Plan approval process. Approximately 1,567 parking spaces
can be supplied in two subterranean parking levels and limited at grade parking
and podium parking located away from street frontage and screened from view.
The subterranean parking will be accessed from major street frontage. Any
additional development beyond the development ranges identified above may
require additional parking supplied on a third subterranean parking level, subject
to Comprehensive Plan approval. Beyond project code required TOD parking,
parking must be provided for transit users, with 600 dedicated Expo spaces
required in Expo Phase One and 300 spaces in Expo Phase Two. (Concept
Parking Plan – Attachment No. 5)
C. Project Phasing
The TOD project phasing is influenced by Expo parking. Expo Phase One
requires 600 parking spaces. In Phase Two, the required Expo parking is
reduced to 300 stalls.
Expo Phase Two will provide a second phase of TOD
development utilizing the residual Expo parking. The Comprehensiv e Plan will
identify the amount, type and mix of additional uses to be developed in the TOD
Phase II.
VII. Development Review Process
The Washington National TOD project requires a two-step entitlement process
in Culver City and a separate approval process in Los Angeles. The following
describes the Culver City project approval process:
Step One: Planned Development Zoning - The first step involves re-
zoning the Site from Industrial General and Transportation zones to a
Planned Development zone incorporating project goals, objectives,
development program, allowable uses and related development
standards pursuant to Chapter 17.240 of the Zoning Code. The Planning
Commission will consider and make recommendations on a proposed
Planned Development resolution. The Planned Development zone is
implemented through the adoption of an ordinance by City Council after
consideration of the Planning Commission’s recommendation. LACMTA
has approved the proposed rezoning or its property. (Project Application
– Attachment No. 8).
ATTACHMENT 1,
EXHIBIT B
19Step Two: Comprehensive Plan Review - Following enactment of the
Washington National Transit Oriented Development Planned
Development Zone No. 11, the second step in the process involves the
approval of a Comprehensive Plan submitted by the Developer following
enactment of the Site zoning pursuant to Chapter s 17.560 of the Zoning
Code. The Comprehensive Plan will be consistent with the Washington
National PD Zone and detail the specific site design, circulation, parking,
land uses, building intensity, architecture, open space, public spaces and
plazas and identify environment impacts and related mitigation measures
through project environmental analysis and submittal of supporting
technical studies. The Comprehensive Plan is approved by the City
Council after consideration of the Commission’s recommendation. The
developer shall also process a street vacation for Exposition Boulevard
which has been abandoned as part of the developm ent of the Culver City
Expo station
VIII. Infrastructure
Site development will require improvements to sewer, water, gas,
communication and electric service based upon the proposed range of
development in the project Comprehensive Plan.
Some utility relocation may
also be required with Site development. Although the precise extent and costs
for these infrastructure improvements will be established upon submittal of a
Comprehensive Plan by the Developer, the costs will generally be shared on a
pro rata basis. A community facilities district (CFD) is one financial tool
available to commercial property owners within the TOD District to help fund
public improvements and services through private property assessment and
bond finance. Required off-site improvements for the Washington National TOD
PD Zone may be funded through a CFD if commercial property owners agree.
The kinds of improvement that may be funded include:
? New Infrastructure
? Utility Relocations
? Streetscape Improvements
? On-going maintenance
Establishment of a CFD can ensure timely completion of all necessary pubic
improvements. A preliminary infrastructure plan has been prepared to
identify the necessary improvements to support TOD District devel opment,
consistent with CCMC Section 15.12.035.
