TO: Public CountersZoning Administrators

FROM: Robert Janovici

SUBJECT: REJECTION OF IMPROPER APPEALS

The Municipal Code provides that an appeal from a Zoning Administrator's action must "..set" forthspecifically the points at issue, the reasons for the appeal, and wherein the appellant believes there wasan error or abuse of discretion by the Zoning Administrator".

It has historically been the City's policy to be liberal when viewing appeals and determining whether theymet the requisite minimum threshold. However, a review of the requirements seems appropriate at thistime. Recently, I dismissed an appeal which by its terms clearly was based upon a personal disputebetween two adjoining property owners and having nothing to do with the historic, current or prospectiveuse of the property which was the subject of the original application.

I am requesting that all appeals be reviewed upon submittal in detail to ensure that the prospectiveappellants indicate clearly hbw they are personally aggrieved (impacted) by the underlying action andwherein the Zoning Administrator erred or abused discretion. Staff should never write out language for anindividual nor give advice as to the possible outcome of an appeal or unaerlying action. If there is anissue in a particular case as to whether an appeal is properly filled out, contact me direct/yo If I amunavailable, contact the Administrator who is liaison to the counter.

Persons asking questions about appeals should be advised not to wait until the last minute to do so - inthe event they are unexpectedly late due to traffic or other reasons, no exceptions will be made. Likewise,no leeway will be given due to themail.private delivery service or other source not delivering the appealon time. As such, prospective appel/ants should be stronglv urqed to file the appeals personally.

Appellant vl/:!'ekiv &~~Date 5£ /08/ I

Michele R. Mendelsohn1311 Beverly Green Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90035 310-277-4516

We are aggrieved by this decision due to the fact that it is in violation with theLos Angeles Municipal Code Zoning Section. We believe the decision makerwas misled by the application of the applicant stating that the lot size was8,169.9 net square feet after required dedication (Exhibit #1) when in fact,according to the tax assessor's records; the lot is 8,015 square feet (Exhibit#2A and #2B). The zoning is QRD2 1 VL (Q 2 story height limit). Deductingthe same dedication square footage requested by the City of Los Angeles, basedon the square footage on the applicant's application, from the square footageprovided by the tax assessor's office in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), thenet size of the lot after the dedication is 7,799 square feet which only allows 3units, RD 2 Zone minimum lot area 2,000 square feet per unit,THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGHSQUARE FOOTAGE FOR FOUR (4) UNITS AFTER DEDICATION(Exhibit #3). According to Section 12.37G, (Exhibit #4) Appropriate LotArea of Lots Affected by Street Widening, in reference to lots affected bystreet widening for RD2, or less restrictive zones, the last paragraph ofSection 12.37G reads as follows:"In applying all other provisions of this article, the area of such lot shall beconsidered as that which existed immediately prior to such required streetwidening." The appropriate area of the lot to use in determiningmaximum permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and residential densityrestricts the application of Section 12.37G to any provision contained inArticle 2 of the Municipal Code, namely zone changes, conditional uses,and variance, as well as the issuance of building permits. Therefore, theland use entitlements are PROPERLY DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OFTHE AREA OF THE LOT prior to highway dedication. Because tract andparcel maps are governed by Article 7, Division of Land, Section 12.37G is notappltcablerand'Ianduse entitlements-areproperly determined on the basis of theareaof.ilieJlQt",cSOO:SEQUENTTClmGHWAYDEDICATION.f(ZAMEMONO. 104~2-13;;.1998)AFTER DEDICATION, IN RD2 ZONING, THE CODETOTALLY PROHIBITS THE BUILDING OF MORE THANTHREE (1) CONDOMINIUMS / APARTMENTS IN A LOTLESS THAN 8,000 SQUARE FEET.

Seeticn :D.2.37G Appropriate Lot Area of Lots Affected by Street

W'iidening

Q ··In reference to lots affected by street widening for RD1.5, RD2, RD3 or R3 or lessrrestrictive zones, the last paragraph of Section 12.37G reads as follows:

"In applying all other provisions of this article, the area of such lot shall be considered as

th3t which existed immediately prior to such required street widening. II

What is the appropriate area of the lot to use in determining maximum permitted Floor

Area Ratio (FAR) and residential density?

A -The reference to ''this article" in the section restricts the application of Section 12.37G

to.any provision contained inArticle 2 of the Municipal Code, namely zone changes,

conditional

uses, and variance, as well as the issuance of building permits. Therefore, the land use

entitlements are properly determined on the basis of the area of the lot prior to highway

. dedication.

Because tract and parcel maps are governed by Article 7, Division of Land, Section

1237-G is

not applicable, and land use entitlements are properly determined on the basis of the area.,=ofi:he

FINDINGS OF FACT (CEQA)

The Department of City Planning issued Mitigated Negative Declaration ENV-2007-4887-MND on December 26, 2007. The Department found that potential negativeimpact could occur from the project's implementation due to:

Aesthetics (visual character, light);Air Quality (construction, operational);Biological Resources (tree removal);Geology and Soils (construction, seismic);Hazards and Hazardous Materials (methane, asbestos);Land Use and Planning (Q condition);Noise (construction, operational);Public Services (fire, police, schools, street improvements);Recreation (parks);Transportation/Circulation (West LA TIMP); andUtilities (solid waste).

The Deputy Advisory Agency, certifies that Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ENV-2007-4887-MND reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and determinedthat this project would not have a significant effect upon the environment provided thepotential impacts identified above are mitigated to a less than significant level throughimplementation of Condition No(s). 5a, 6a, 10, 11, 12d, 12g, 18, and 19 of the Tract'sapproval. Other identified potential impacts not mitigated by these conditions aremandatorily subject to existing City ordinances, (Sewer Ordinance, Grading Ordinance,Flood Plain Management Specific Plan, Xeriscape Ordinance, Stormwater Ordinance,etc.) which are specifically intended to mitigate such potential impacts on all projects.

The Initial Study prepared for the project identifies no potential adverse impacts on fishor wildlife resources as far as earth, air, water, plant life, animal life, risk of upset areconcerned. However, the project site, as well as the surrounding area are presentlydeveloped with structures and do not provide a natural habitat for either fish or wildlife.In accordance with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code (AB-3180), theDeputy Advisory Agency has assured that the above identified mitigation measures willbe implemented by requiring reporting and monitoring as specified in Condition No. 17.

In connection with the .approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 70003, the Advisory Agencyof the City of Los Angeles, pursuant to Sections 66473.1, 66474.60, .61 and .63 of theState of California Government Code (the Subdivision Map Act), makes the prescribedfindings as follows:

(a) THE PROPOSED MAP WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE GENERALAND SPECIFlc PLANS.

The adopted West Los Angeles Community Plan designates the subject propertyfor Low Medium II land use with the corresponding zone of [Q]RD2-1VL-O. Theproperty is located in the West Los Angeles Transportation Improvement andMitigation Specific Plan. The property contains approximately 0.187 net acres(8,169.9) net square feet) and is presently zoned [Q]RD2-1VL-O. The proposeddevelopment of a four-unit condominium is allowable under the current adoptedzone and the land use designation and is compatible with the intent of residentialdevelopment in the Community Plan area.

The site is not subject to the Specific Plan for the Management of Flood Hazardsf1oodways, floodplains, mud prone areas, coastal high-hazard and flood-relatederosion hazard areas.

Therefore, as conditioned, the proposed tract map is consistent with the intentand purpose of the applicable General and Specific Plans.

(b) THE DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ARECONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PLANS.

Beverly Green Drive is a Local Street dedicated to a 60-foot width at the project'sstreet frontage and complies with local street standards. The Bureau ofEngineering has issued a condition that a two-foot wide strip of land be providedfor a sidewalk easement along Pico Boulevard. This project is subject to theWest Los Angeles Transportation Improvement and Mitigation Specific Planrequirements. The proposed project will provide ten-parking spaces, includingtwo-guest parking spaces, in conformance with the LAMC and the DeputyAdvisory Agency's parking policy for condominium projects in parking congestedareas. As conditioned the design and improvements of the proposed project areconsistent with the applicable General and Specific Plans.


(c) THE SITE IS PHYSICALLY SUITABLE FOR THE PROPOSED TYPE OFDEVELOPMENT.

The site is currently developed with a two-story single-family dwelling that is 56-years old. It's one of the few under-improved properties in. the vicinity. Thedevelopment of this tract is an infill of an otherwise multiple-family neighborhood.

The site is level and is not located in a slope stability study area, high erosionhazard area, or a fault-rupture study zone.

The Department of Building and Safety, Grading Division, has tentativelyapproved the tract map without conditions, in accordance with the GradingRegulations, Section 91.3000 of the LAMC, relative to Division 70 of the BuildingCode.

(d) THE SITE IS PHYSICALLY SUITABLE FOR THE PROPOSED DENSITY OFDEVELOPMENT.

Adjacent uses are residential dwellings to the north in the R1-1-0 zone;commercial uses to the east in the C4-1VL-O zone; multifamily dwellings to thesouth in the R3-1VL-O zone; and multifamily dwellings to the west in the [Q]RD4-1VL-O zone. The proposed project would provide an appropriate transitionaldevelopment between the residential uses to the west and commercial uses tothe east. The site currently contains a single-family unit, and the proposedproject would provide four-condominium units. The proposed project will complywith all LAMC requirements for parking, yards, and open space. As conditionedthe proposed tract map is physically suitable for the proposed density of thedevelopment.

(e) THE DESIGN OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTSARE NOT UKELY TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE ORSUBSTANTIALLY AND AVOIDABLY INJURE FISH OR WILDLIFE OR THEIRHABITAT.

The Initial Study prepared for the project identifies no potential adverse impact onfish or wildlife resources as far as earth, air, water, plant life, animal life, risk ofupset are concerned. The project site, as well as the surrounding area arepresently developed with structures and do not provide a natural habitat for eitherfish or wildlife.

(f) THE DESIGN OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTSARE NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE SERIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS.

There appear to be no potential public health problems caused by the design orimprovement of the proposed subdivision.

c (


The development is required to be connected to the City's sanitary sewer system,where the sewage will be directed to the LA Hyperion Treatment Plant, which hasbeen upgraded to meet Statewide ocean discharge standards. The Bureau ofEngineering has reported that the proposed subdivision does not violate theexisting California Water Code because the subdivision will be connected to thepublic sewer system and will have only a minor incremental lrnpact on the qualityof the effluent from the Hyperion Treatment Plant.

(g) THE DESIGN OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTSWILL NOT CONFLICT WITH EASEMENTS ACQUIRED BY THE PUBLIC ATLARGE FOR ACCESS THROUGH OR USE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THEPROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

No such easements are known to exist. Needed public access for roads andutilities will be acquired by the City prior to recordation of the proposed-tract,

(h) THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION WILL PROVIDE, TO THEEXTENT FEASIBLE, FOR FUTURE PASSIVE OR NATURAL HEATING ORCOOLING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SUBDIVISION. (REF. SECTION 66473.1)

In assessing the feasibility of passive or natural heating or cooling opportunitiesin the proposed subdivision design, the applicant has prepared and submittedmaterials which consider the local climate,. contours, configuration of theparcel(s) to be subdivided and other design and improvement requirements.

Providing for passive or natural heatlnq or cooling opportunities will not result inreducing allowable densities or the percentage of a lot which may be occupied bya building or structure under applicable planning and zoning in effect at the timethe tentative map was filed.In addition, prior to obtaining a building permit, the subdivider shall considerbuilding construction techniques, such as overhanging eaves, location ofwindows, insulation, exhaust fans; planting of trees for shade purposes and theheight of the buildings on the site in relation to adjacent development.

These findings shall apply to both the tentative and final maps for Tract Map No. 70003.

Determination (To Be Completed By Lead Agency)On the basis of this initial evaluation:.

o I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVEDECLARATION will be prepared.

y Ifind that although the proposed project could have a significan~effect on the environment, there will not be asignificant effect in this case because revisions on the project have been made by or agreed to by the projectproponent A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

o I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTREPORT is required.

o I find the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier documentpursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on earlieranalysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORt is required, but it mustanalyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

o Ifind that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentiallysignificant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an ear1ierEIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant toapplicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVEDECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothingfurther is required.

Title Phone

=Evaluation Of Environmental Impacts:

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the informationsources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if thereferenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the projectfalls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors aswell as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants based on a project-specificscreening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well asproject-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicatewhether the impact is potentially significant, less that significant with mitigation, or less than significant "Potentially SignificantImpact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "PotentiallySignificant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. "Negative Declaration: less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of a mitigationmeasure has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to "less Than Significant Impact" The lead agency mustdescribe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigationmeasures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analysis," cross referenced).

5. Earlier analysis must be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has beenadequately analyzed in an ear1ierEIR, or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should ..identify the following:a. Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately

analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed bymitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe themitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they addresssite-specific conditions for the project

c •

6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g.,general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate,include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated

7. Supporting Information Sources: A sources list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should becited in the discussion.

B. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normallyaddress the questions from thi.s checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects iiiwhichever format is selected.

9. The explanation of each issue should identify: .a. The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; andb. The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Environmental Factors Potentially Affected:The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

ISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Attach addilional sheets if necessary)

The Environmental Impact Assessment includes the use of official City of Los Angeles and other government source referenceaterials related to various environmental impact categories (e.g., Hydrology, Air Quality, Biology, Cultural Resources, etc.). The StateCalifornia, Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology - Seismic Hazard Maps and reports, are used to identifyItential future significant seismic events; including probable magnitudes, liquefaction, and landslide hazards. Based on applicant'ormation provided in the Master Land Use Application and Environmental Assessment Form, impact evaluations were based onated facts contained therein, including but not limited to, reference materials indicated above, field investigation of the project site,Jdany other reliable reference materials known at the time.Project specific impacts were evaluated based on all relevant facts indicated in the Environmental Assessment Form and expressed'ough the applicant's project description and supportive materials. Both the Initial Study Checklist and CheckDst Explanations, innjunction with the City of Los Angeles's Adopted Thresholds Guide and CEQA Guidelines, were used to reach reasonablenelusions on environmental impacts as mandated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).The project as identified in the project description may cause potentially significant impacts on the environment without mitigation.erefore, this environmental analysis concludes that a Mitigated Negative Declaration shall be issued to avoid and mitigate alltential adverse impacts on the environment by the imposition of mitigation measures and/or conditions contained and expressed ins document; the environmental case file known as ENV-2007-4887-MND and the associated case(s), TT-70003. Finally, based on~fact that these impacts can be feasibly mitigated to less than significant, and based on the findings and thresholds for MandatoryJdings of Significance as described in the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, section 15065, the overall project impact(s) on thevironment (after mitigation) will not: "

• Substantially degrade environmental quality.• Substantially reduce fish or wildlife habitat.• Cause a fish or wildlife habitat to drop below self sustaining levels.• Threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community.• Reduce number, or restrict range of a rare, threatened, or endangered species.• Eliminate important examples of major periods of Califomia history or prehistory.• Achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long-term goals.• Result in environmental effects that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable.• Result in environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings.
