14 Project Summary 4TH & SPRING HOTEL 36 N. SPRING STREET ATTACHMENT A PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ENTITLEMENT FINDINGS OSIB LA Downtown Properties LLC (the Applicant ) proposes to develop a new hotel project (the Project ) on an approximately 0.49-acre site located at 0-3 W. 4th Street and 36 S. Spring Street (the Development Site ) within the Central City Community Plan ( Community Plan ) area of the City of Los Angeles (the City ). The Project will contain 35 hotel guest rooms, ancillary ground-level guest amenities including seating areas and a bar, and up to,000 square feet of meeting room area that will be made available for rent by the general public. The Development Site contains approximately 9,6 square feet of lot area. The Project would contain above-grade stories and a small basement level, and have a maximum building height of approximately 30 feet, 8 inches. Upon completion, the Project would contain approximately 99,686 square feet of floor area, for a total maximum floor area ratio ( FAR ) of approximately 5.:. Eighty-one vehicular parking spaces will be provided within the adjacent 0-story Broadway-Spring Center parking structure located immediately to the north of the Development Site at 333 S. Spring Street (the Garage Site ). No new development or land use changes will occur at the Garage Site as part of the Project. Long- and short-term bicycle parking for the Project will be provided in conformance with all Los Angeles Municipal Code ( LAMC ) requirements. Requested Entitlements Site Plan Review pursuant to LAMC Section 6.05 to authorize the development of 50 or more guest rooms. Existing Project Site Conditions and Zoning The Development Site is currently occupied by a paved surface parking lot and a small parking attendant box, and is secured with a metal fence along its street frontages. There are 8 non-protected trees on the property. All existing improvements and trees would be removed to allow for the development of the Project. There is one City of Los Angeles street tree located outside of the property line along Spring Street, which is to be retained and protected in place during construction of the Project. The Development Site is located within the planning boundary of the Central City Community Plan, and is designated for Regional Center Commercial land uses, with corresponding zones of CR, C.5, C, C4, C5, R3, R4, R5, RAS3, and RAS4. The LAMC establishes the zoning for the Development Site as [Q]C4-4D (Commercial with Q Condition, Height District No. 4 with D Limitation). The C4 zone permits a wide array of land uses including commercial, office, residential, retail, and hotel uses. The existing Q condition, imposed by Ordinance 6,603 in 986, establishes a base Page of 7

15 maximum building height limit of 50 feet, and prohibits commercial billboards and signs from extending above the roof of any building at the Development Site. The Height District No. 4 designation, in conjunction with the C4 zone, would normally allow a maximum FAR of 3:. However, the Development Site s D Limitation, imposed by Ordinance No. 64,307 in 989, as well as Footnote 3 of the Community Plan s Land Use Map, establishes a base maximum FAR of 6:, except for transfers of floor area to exceed this 6:. The Development Site is located within the boundaries of the City Center Redevelopment Plan, which similarly establishes a maximum base FAR of 6: for development located within the Historic Downtown subarea of the Redevelopment Plan, which encompasses the Development Site. The Site is also located within a Transit Priority Area pursuant to Senate Bill ( SB ) 743, the former Los Angeles State Enterprise Zone, the Greater Downtown Housing Incentive Area, the Downtown Adaptive Reuse Incentive Area, the Central City Parking Exception area and the Downtown Business Parking District, and the Downtown Center Business Improvement District. Surrounding Uses The Development Site is located in downtown Los Angeles, and is bounded by the Garage Site to the north, South Spring Street to the east, West 4th Street to the south, and existing commercial buildings to the west. Primary regional access to the Development Site is provided by the Hollywood Freeway (US-0), located approximately 0.6 miles to the northeast of the Development Site, and the Harbor Freeway (I-0), located approximately 0.6 miles northwest of the Development Site. The Development Site is approximately 0.3 mile (walking distance) east of the Pershing Square Metro station, which is a transit hub served by Metro s Red Line and Purple Line subways, which provide access to other areas within the City of Los Angeles and the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Project Site is directly served by Metro bus lines running along Spring Street, and is also located within walking distance of numerous other bus routes with peak commute service intervals of 5 minutes or less. The Project Site is also situated within easy walking distance to retail, restaurant, and other commercial businesses located in Downtown Los Angeles. Streets and Circulation South Spring Street, abutting the property to the east, is classified as a Modified Avenue II, with a designated right-of-way width of 80 feet (consisting of a 5-foot roadway designation with abutting 4-foot sidewalk designations), and improved with asphalt roadway and concrete curb, gutters and a sidewalk. West 4th Street, abutting the property to the south, is classified as a Modified Avenue III, with a designated right-of-way width of 60 feet (consisting of a 40-foot roadway designation with abutting 0-foot sidewalk designations), and improved with asphalt roadway and concrete curb, gutters and a sidewalk. Page of 7

16 Project Analysis Project Components As noted above, the 9,6 square foot Development Site s existing surface parking lot and limited number of non-protected trees would be removed in order to develop the Project, which would consist of 35 guest rooms; ancillary ground-floor guest-only amenities including seating areas, a bar, and limited food service, and up to,000 square feet of public meeting room area, which would be available for use by hotel guests as well as by the general public. The Project would include a small basement area and a total of above-grade stories, reaching a maximum building height of approximately 30 feet, 8 inches. Total proposed floor area would be 99,686 square feet, for a maximum proposed FAR of approximately 5.:. The Project s guest rooms and public meeting rooms would require 8 vehicular parking spaces, which would be located in the adjacent parking structure at the Garage Site, which immediately abuts the Development Site to the north and which is accessed via a shared community driveway running along the northwest property line of both the Development Site and the Garage Site. The Project s required short- and long-term bicycle parking spaces would be provided and located in conformance with the LAMC s requirements. The Project has been designed and would be constructed to incorporate environmentally sustainable building features and construction protocols required by the Los Angeles Green Building Code and CALGreen. These standards would reduce energy and water usage and waste, and thereby reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions and help minimize the impact on natural resources and infrastructure. Density and Floor Area The Development Site is zoned [Q]C4-4D. Pursuant to LAMC Section. A.8, projects containing residential and commercial uses that are located within the C4 zone and the Central City Community Plan area (or are subject to a Regional Center Commercial land use designation) may achieve density equivalent to the R5 zone. In the R5 zone, there is no density limit for hotel guest rooms. Therefore, the Project s 35 hotel rooms are permitted at the Development Site. The Development Site s existing D Limitation establishes a base maximum FAR of 6:. The Development Site s lot area is 9,6 square feet, and the Project s proposed floor area is approximately 99,686 square feet. The Project s FAR is therefore approximately 5.:, and in compliance with the existing D Limitation. Height The Development Site s Q Condition establishes a base maximum height of 50 feet, and the Project s maximum height will be approximately 30 feet, 8 inches. Page 3 of 7

17 Yards and Setbacks Pursuant to LAMC Section. C.3, no setbacks are required for projects located within the Greater Downtown Housing Incentive Area, other than those specified under the Downtown Design Guide. The Project will comply with the design standards and guidelines of the Downtown Design Guide. Access and Circulation The Project will provide a valet drop-off area along the northeastern property line of the Development Site, which vehicles will enter from Spring Street, before being driven to the Garage Site to be parked by valet attendants. Vehicular access will also be provided along the existing community driveway along the Development Site s northwestern property line, which will provide loading access to the Project, as well as continue to provide access to and from the Garage Site. The Project s pedestrian entrance will be located at the corner of Spring and 4th, and pedestrian access along the Development Site s frontages would be enhanced via new landscaping and other streetscape improvements in conformance with the Downtown Design Guide and the policies of the Urban Forestry Division. Vehicular Parking Within the Central City Parking Exception area, and pursuant to LAMC Section. A.4(p), the Project s hotel rooms will require parking space for each guest rooms for the first 0 guest rooms, space for each 4 guest rooms for the next 0, and space for each 6 guest rooms for the remaining number of guest rooms. Accordingly, 6 parking spaces will be required for the Project s hotel guest rooms. Pursuant to the City s Zoning Manual with Commentary, public meeting rooms in hotels that exceed 750 square feet are to provide separate parking. Accordingly, within the Downtown Business District, the Project s,000 square feet of meeting room space that will be available to the general public will be parked in conformance with LAMC Section. A.4(i), which requires 0 parking spaces. A total of 8 vehicular parking spaces will therefore be required for the Project. As approved by the former Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles ( CRA/LA ), any parking required in conjunction with the development of the Development Site is to be located in the existing parking garage located on the Garage Site, pursuant to a previously approved owner-participation agreement for the development of the parking garage at the Garage Site, which provides that sufficient parking covenants to accommodate the Development Site s parking requirements will be made available to the Applicant. Moreover, there currently exist functional linkages between the Development Site and the Garage Site that facilitate this parking arrangement, including a shared community driveway across the northwest boundary of the Development Site that provides access to the Garage Site. Accordingly, a minimum of 8 covenanted parking spaces will be provided for the Project within the existing parking garage located on the Garage Site. Page 4 of 7

18 Bicycle Parking The Project would provide short- and long-term bicycle parking in accordance with LAMC requirements. Currently, the LAMC requires short- and long-term bicycle parking space for every 0 guest rooms, which would result in a bicycle parking requirement of 6 short- and long-term spaces. The City is in the process of adopting amendments to the LAMC s current bike parking requirements (see Case No. CPC CA, and Council File No. -97-S), and if adopted, the Project would comply with the proposed new hotel requirements ( short- and long-term bicycle space for every 0 guest rooms, instead of short- and long-term bicycle space per 0 guest rooms). Accordingly, the Project will provide bicycle parking in compliance with all applicable LAMC requirements. Signage and Mural Artwork Small high rise signs identifying the hotel are proposed for the Project s western and southern façades. The Project is also proposing to include two original art murals that will wrap around the Project s southwest and northeast corners. These murals will fully comply with the City s guidelines and requirements for original art murals, and will be reviewed and approved by the Department of Cultural Affairs subsequent to the approval of the Project s entitlements. No on- or off-site signage would be permitted to be installed as part of any proposed original art mural. Landscaping The Development Site does not contain any protected trees. The existing on-site non-protected trees will be removed to accommodate the development of the Project, while the existing adjacent street tree on Spring Street will be protected and retained during construction. The Project s street frontages will be landscaped in conformance with the Downtown Design Guide and the policies of the City s Urban Forestry Division, and the Project will provide a green roof and LID planters at its second level.

19 Site Plan Review Findings. That the project is in substantial conformance with the purposes, intent and provisions of the General Plan, applicable community plan, and any applicable specific plan. The Development Site is located within the Central City Community Plan ( Community Plan ) area, and is currently designated for Regional Center Commercial land uses. The Community Plan identifies the CR, C.5, C, C4, C5, R3, R4, R5, RAS3, and RAS4 zones as being consistent with the Regional Center Commercial land use designation. The LAMC establishes the zoning for the Development Site as [Q]C4-4D (Commercial with Q Condition, Height District No. 4 with D Limitation). The C4 zone permits a wide array of land uses including commercial, office, residential, retail, and hotel uses. The existing Q condition, imposed by Ordinance 6,603 in 986, establishes a base maximum building height limit of 50 feet, and prohibits commercial billboards and signs from extending above the roof of any building at the Development Site. The Height District No. 4 designation, in conjunction with the C4 zone, would normally allow a maximum FAR of 3:, with no maximum height limit. However, the Development Site s D Limitation, imposed by Ordinance No. 64,307 in 989, as well as Footnote 3 of the Community Plan s Land Use Map, establish a base maximum FAR of 6:, except for transfers of floor area to exceed this base. The Project would fully comply with these use, height, and FAR regulations. The Site is located within the boundaries of the City Center Redevelopment Plan, which similarly establishes a maximum base FAR of 6: for development located within the Historic Downtown subarea of the Redevelopment Plan. The Site is also located within a Transit Priority Area pursuant to Senate Bill ( SB ) 743, the former Los Angeles State Enterprise Zone, the Greater Downtown Housing Incentive Area, the Downtown Adaptive Reuse Incentive Area, the Central City Parking Exception area and the Downtown Business Parking District, and the Downtown Center Business Improvement District. In addition to being in conformance with good planning and land use practices, the proposed Project would be consistent with the following elements of the General Plan, including the Community Plan, as well as applicable provisions of other land use and planning documents adopted by the City. a. General Plan Framework Element. The Framework Element provides guidance regarding policy issues for the entire City of Los Angeles, including the Development Site, which is identified as being located within to Downtown Center by the Framework Element s Long Range Land Use Diagram. The Framework Element defines the Downtown Center, which is bounded by Cesar Chavez Avenue to the north; Alameda Street to the east; the 0 freeway to the south; and the 0 freeway to the west, as: An international center for finance and trade that serves the population of the five-county metropolitan region. It is the largest government center in the region and the location for major cultural and entertainment facilities, hotels, high- Page 6 of 7

20 rise residential towers, regional transportation facilities, and the Convention Center. These uses serve the region, state, nation, and global needs. Generally, the Downtown Center is characterized by FARs up to 3: and high-rise buildings. The Framework Element includes the following goals, objectives, and policies relevant to the Downtown Center and the proposed Project: i. Land Use Chapter Goal 3A: A physically balanced distribution of land uses that contributes towards and facilitates the City's long-term fiscal and economic viability, revitalization of economically depressed areas, conservation of existing residential neighborhoods, equitable distribution of public resources, conservation of natural resources, provision of adequate infrastructure and public services, reduction of traffic congestion and improvement of air quality, enhancement of recreation and open space opportunities, assurance of environmental justice and a healthful living environment, and achievement of the vision for a more livable city. Objective 3.: Accommodate a diversity of uses that support the needs of the City's existing and future residents, businesses, and visitors. Policy 3..4: Accommodate new development in accordance with land use and density provisions of the General Plan Framework Long-Range Land Use Diagram and Table 3- (Land Use Standards and Typical Development Characteristics). Objective 3.: Provide for the spatial distribution of development that promotes an improved quality of life by facilitating a reduction of vehicular trips, vehicle miles traveled, and air pollution. Policy 3..: Provide a pattern of development consisting of distinct districts, centers, boulevards, and neighborhoods that are differentiated by their functional role, scale, and character. This shall be accomplished by considering factors such as the existing concentrations of use, community-oriented activity centers that currently or potentially service adjacent neighborhoods, and existing or potential public transit corridors and stations. Policy 3..3: Provide for the siting and design of new development that maintains the prevailing scale and character of the City's stable residential neighborhoods and enhance the character of commercial and industrial districts. Objective 3.4: Encourage new multi-family residential, retail commercial, and office development in the City's neighborhood Page 7 of 7

21 districts, community, regional, and downtown centers as well as along primary transit corridors/boulevards, while at the same time conserving existing neighborhoods and related districts. Policy 3.4.: Conserve existing stable residential neighborhoods and lower-intensity commercial districts and encourage the majority of new commercial and mixed-use (integrated commercial and residential) development to be located (a) in a network of neighborhood districts, community, regional, and downtown centers, (b) in proximity to rail and bus transit stations and corridors, and (c) along the City's major boulevards, referred to as districts, centers, and mixed-use boulevards, in accordance with the Framework Long-Range Land Use Diagram. Goal 3G: A Downtown Center as the primary economic, governmental, and social focal point of the region with an enhanced residential community. Objective 3.: Provide for the continuation and expansion of government, business, cultural, entertainment, visitor-serving, housing, industries, transportation, supporting uses, and similar functions at a scale and intensity that distinguishes and uniquely identifies the Downtown Center. Goal 3K: Transit stations to function as a primary focal point of the City's development. Objective 3.5: Focus mixed commercial/residential uses, neighborhood-oriented retail, employment opportunities, and civic and quasi-public uses around urban transit stations, while protecting and preserving surrounding low-density neighborhoods from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. Goal 3L: Districts that promote pedestrian activity and provide a quality experience for the City's residents. Objective 3.6: Accommodate land uses, locate and design buildings, and implement streetscape amenities that enhance pedestrian activity. The Development Site is currently developed with a surface parking lot, which does not advance the Framework Element s land use goals and policies for the Downtown Center area, which encourage high density developments characterized by high-rise buildings and FARs of up to 3:. Specifically, the Framework Element envisions that the "Downtown Center would continue to accommodate the highest development densities in the City and function as the principal transportation hub for the region." Page 8 of 7

22 The Development Site is an optimal location for a new development project containing a significant number of new hotel guest rooms, given its proximity to multiple entertainment and business destinations in downtown Los Angeles. In addition, the Site is approximately 0.3 mile from Metro s Pershing Square station, which serves the Red and Purple rail lines, and which allows connecting service to multiple other regional and local transit lines. The Development Site is also directly served by multiple bus and shuttle lines. Given this diversity of transit options, the Project s hotel guests are not anticipated to be car-dependent during their stay, resulting in reduced vehicular trips, vehicle miles traveled, and air pollution. The development of a new hotel at the Development Site will allow visitors to the Downtown Center area to engage in both business and leisure activities, thereby contributing to the economic health of the area. The Project will comply with the Development Site s existing zoning and land use standards, and will therefore be compatible with the existing height, bulk, and massing of existing adjacent development patterns. The Project will also meet the design standards and guidelines of the Downtown Design Guide and Historic Downtown Los Angeles Design Guidelines, thereby making a positive aesthetic contribution to the Development Site and the immediately surrounding vicinity. Furthermore, the Project s pedestrian-oriented design characteristics, including active street level uses, landscaping, and other streetscape enhancements along Spring and 4th Streets will help extend the vibrant pedestrian environment along these streets, particularly when contrasted with the Development Site s existing use as a surface parking lot. For the above reasons, the Project is consistent with and advances the land use goals, objectives, and policies of the Framework Chapter. ii. Urban Form and Neighborhood Design Chapter Goal 5A: A livable City for existing and future residents and one that is attractive to future investment. A City of interconnected, diverse neighborhoods that builds on the strengths of those neighborhoods and functions at both the neighborhood and citywide scales. Objective 5.: Encourage future development in centers and in nodes along corridors that are served by transit and are already functioning as centers for the surrounding neighborhoods, the community or the region. Policy 5..: Encourage the development of centers, districts, and selected corridor/boulevard nodes such that the land uses, scale, and built form allowed and/or encouraged within these areas allow them to function as centers and support transit use, both in daytime and nighttime. Additionally, develop these areas so that they are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. Page 9 of 7

23 The Project will support the Framework Element s Urban Form and Neighborhood Design chapter by providing a new high-rise, high density hotel development containing up to 35 new hotel guest rooms, as well as publicly accessible meeting space and guest-only amenity uses, within the Downtown Center area within close proximity to existing commercial, residential, and uses, as well as significant transit infrastructure including a Metro rail station. The Downtown Center has significantly benefited from increased entertainment, commercial, and residential uses within the Historic Core area, leading to the creation of an increasingly walkable, livable mixed-use district. Development of the Project at the Development Site would reflect a continuation of this development pattern, as well as consistency with the contemplated development of higher-density projects at up to 3: FAR within the Downtown Center. Moreover, the Project would comply with the height and FAR standards established by the Development Site s existing zoning classification and Community Plan land use map footnote provisions, and therefore its height, bulk, and mass will be consistent and compatible with existing adjacent and nearby development patterns. The Project will comply with the standards and guidelines of the Downtown Design Guide and the Historic Downtown Los Angeles Design Guidelines, ensuring that it will make a positive aesthetic contribution to the surrounding area, and will further the City s design goals for the Historic Downtown area. Therefore, for the above reasons, the Project conforms to the Framework Element s goals and policies regarding urban form and neighborhood design. iii. Economic Development Chapter Goal 7A: A vibrant economically revitalized City. Objective 7.: Establish a balance of land uses that provides for commercial and industrial development which meets the needs of local residents, sustains economic growth, and assures maximum feasible environmental quality. Policy 7..: Concentrate commercial development entitlements in areas best able to support them, including community and regional centers, transit stations, and mixed-use corridors. This concentration prevents commercial development from encroaching on existing residential neighborhoods. Policy 7..3: Encourage new commercial development in proximity to rail and bus transit corridors and stations. The Project will have a direct positive impact on the City by adding up to 35 new hotel guest rooms to the City s inventory. The addition of new hotel rooms to the Historic Downtown area will facilitate travel to downtown Los Angeles by business travelers as well as tourists, who will be able to utilize the significant existing transit infrastructure as well as pedestrian travel options to access downtown s business, shopping, and entertainment options. The Project will generate both sales tax revenues and significant Page 0 of 7

24 transient occupancy tax revenues for the City, and will further facilitate economic development by creating new employment opportunities both during construction and operation of the Project. Accordingly, the Project advances the Framework Element s economic development goals. a. Central City Community Plan. As noted above, the Community Plan currently designates the Development Site for Regional Center Commercial land uses. This designation allows development of the Site at a base FAR of 6:, and a maximum potential FAR of 3:. The proposed Project, at approximately 99,686 square feet of floor area, will achieve a maximum FAR of approximately 5.:. The ultimate goal of the Community Plan is to create an environment conducive to conducting business and actively promote Downtown Los Angeles as the economic center for the region and California. The Project is entirely consistent with this goal of the Community Plan, as it will allow the redevelopment of the Site with a new high-rise hotel with up to 35 guest rooms, guest-only amenities, and public meeting space, while further enhancing the pedestrian and streetscape experience along a major commercial thoroughfare in the Historic Downtown area of the City. The Project will also advance a number of other objectives, goals and policies of the Community Plan, as evidenced by the following: i. Land Use Policies and Programs. Objective -: To improve Central City s competitiveness as a location for offices, business, retail, and industry. Objective -3: To promote land uses in Central City that will address the needs of all the visitors to Downtown for business, conventions, trade shows, and tourism. Objective -4: To encourage a mix of uses which create an active, 4-hour downtown environment for current residents and which would also foster increased tourism. The Project will provide up to 35 new hotel guest rooms and new public meeting room facilities in a new high-rise building replacing a surface parking lot located in the Historic Downtown area of the City. By providing a significant number of new hotel rooms in close proximity to the large number of proximate existing residential, commercial, and entertainment uses in downtown Los Angeles, thereby allowing business travelers as well as tourists to more easily access downtown Los Angeles, the Project will be directly supporting the Community Plan s goal of improving the competitiveness of the Community Plan area specifically and the City as a whole. Furthermore, the Site s proximity to multiple transit options will facilitate travel by hotel guests to other local destinations in downtown Los Angeles as well as other neighborhoods. In addition to the Project s new lodging and public meeting opportunities, the construction and operation of the Project will also provide employment Page of 7

25 opportunities during both its construction and operation, thereby contributing to the employment of residents and workers in the Community Plan area and in the City as a whole. Accordingly, the development of the proposed Project will be consistent with the above Community Plan objective. ii. Transportation and Circulation. Objective -3: To accommodate pedestrian open space and usage in the Central City. Policy -.: Preserve and enhance Central City s primary pedestrianoriented streets and sidewalks and create a framework for the provision of additional pedestrian friendly streets and sidewalks which comment the unique qualities and character of the communities in the Central City. The Project will be developed in full conformance with all relevant City pedestrian-oriented design guidelines, including the Downtown Street Standards, the Downtown Design Guide, and the Historic Downtown Los Angeles Design Guidelines. The width and design of the Project s street frontages, as well as the activation of these frontages by the Project s ground-level hotel lobby, guest amenity, and public meeting room uses, will contribute to a vibrant, pedestrian friendly environment at the Site. In addition, the Project will provide sidewalk landscaping and tree plantings in conformance with the Downtown Design Guide s standards and guidelines, and in conformance with the above-noted Community Plan objective and policy. iii. Downtown Design Guide The Downtown Design Guide was adopted by the City Council on April 4, 009 as a General Plan Amendment to the Central City Community Plan to revise Chapter V of the Central City Community Plan text to incorporate the Downtown Design Guide, Urban Design Standards and Guidelines. The Downtown Design Guide supplements various LAMC provisions and applies to all projects within its boundaries. The Downtown Design Guide contains standards and guidelines for sustainable design, sidewalks and setbacks, ground floor treatment, parking and access, massing and street wall, on-site open space, architectural detail, streetscape improvements, and signage prepared at a finer grain specifically for the Downtown Neighborhood Districts. The Project is consistent with the Downtown Design Guide as follows: Sidewalks and Setbacks: The Project fronts Retail Streets, and will locate its building street wall at the back of the required sidewalk width. The Project s sidewalks will meet required width standards, and will accommodate pedestrian paths of travel, access zones, and plantings in conformance with the Downtown Design Guide, as well as the requirements of the City s Bureau of Engineering and Urban Forestry Division Page of 7

26 Ground Floor Treatment: In conformance with the Design Guidelines, at least 75% of the Site s street frontages will be occupied by active hotel lobby and public meeting room uses, which will provide entrances, wall openings, and transparent façades in order to sustain street level interest and promote pedestrian traffic. Parking and Access. All Project parking will be located off-site at the adjacent parking structure located on the Garage Site. The Project will provide vehicular access from Spring Street to a valet drop-off area along the northeastern property line of the Development Site. Vehicular access will also be provided from 4th Street along the existing community driveway that provides access to and from the Garage Site. All vehicular access is located the maximum feasible distance from the Project s primary building entrance at the corner of 4th and Spring. Massing and Street Wall. The Project maintains a consistent street wall along the Development Site s street frontages, and locates this street wall at the back of the required sidewalk. With its primary entrance at the southeast corner of the Development Site, the mass of the building steps back slightly to address the corner. An identifiable break is provided between the Project s ground floor/mezzanine levels and the upper guest room floors through the use of nearly 00 percent transparent glazing, a canopy, and transom windows at the lower portion of the building, with concrete and a regularized grid of guest room windows above. Architectural Detail. The Project s contemporary architecture is characterized by differential treatments on the lower floor façades than on the upper floors, and a regularized grid of square-shaped window openings at the upper guest room floors that are punctuated by permanent original art murals at the northeast and southwest corners of the building. Streetscape Improvements. The Project s sidewalks and proposed streetscape will be landscaped and improved in accordance with the Downtown Design Guide as well as the standards and policies of the Bureau of Engineering and the Urban Forestry Division. Signage. The Project will include on-site hotel identification signage near the roof of the building. Two original art murals are proposed for the northeast and southwest corners of the building, which will be reviewed and approved by the City s Department of Cultural Affairs. No on- or offsite signage is proposed or would be permitted to be part of these murals. b. Mobility Plan 035 and Downtown Street Standards Guide. The Mobility Plan is not likely to be affected by the proposed Project. Spring Street and 4th Street are each currently dedicated to the standards set forth in the Downtown Page 3 of 7

27 Street Standards Guide. Moreover, the Project as designed meets the following policies of Mobility Plan 035: Policy.3: Recognize walking as a component of every trip, and ensure high-quality pedestrian access in all site planning and public right-of-way modifications to provide a safe and comfortable walking environment. The redevelopment of the Site with up to 35 new hotel guest rooms and public meeting room space will result in a significant increase in pedestrian activity at the Development Site, which is currently improved with a surface parking lot. Furthermore, the Site s proximity to multiple transit options as well as other nearby dining, shopping, and entertainment options will facilitate pedestrian travel by hotel guests between the Development Site and other local destinations in downtown Los Angeles. Policy 3.: Recognize all modes of travel, including pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicular modes - including goods movement - as integral components of the City s transportation system. Policy 3.3: Promote equitable land use decisions that result in fewer vehicle trips by providing greater proximity and access to jobs, destinations, and other neighborhood services. Policy 3.8: Provide bicyclists with convenient, secure and wellmaintained bicycle parking facilities. The Project is well served by extensive transit infrastructure, including the Metro rail lines accessible at Pershing Square, multiple local and regional bus lines, and bicycle lane infrastructure along Spring Street. The Project will include short- and longterm bike parking facilities in accordance with the LAMC s requirements, further encouraging non-vehicular forms of travel to and from the Development Site. c. City Center Redevelopment Plan. The Project is located within the boundaries of City Center Redevelopment Project area, and specifically located within the Redevelopment Plan s Historic Downtown Development Area. Although the City s former redevelopment agency has been dissolved pursuant to state legislation in 0, the Redevelopment Plan s land use controls, as administered by the former redevelopment agency s successor agency, continue to apply to new projects. As described below, the Project is consistent with the following provisions of the Redevelopment Plan: To further the development of Downtown as the major center of the Los Angeles metropolitan region, within the context of the Los Angeles General Plan. To promote the development and rehabilitation of economic enterprises including retail, commercial, service, sports and entertainment, Page 4 of 7

28 manufacturing, industrial and hospitality uses that are intended to provide employment and improve the project area s tax base. To guide growth and development, reinforce viable functions, and facilitate the redevelopment, revitalization or rehabilitation of deteriorated and underutilized areas. To create a modern, efficient and balanced urban environment for people, including a full range of around the clock activities and uses. To create a symbol of pride and identity which gives the Central City a strong image as the major center of the Los Angeles region. To achieve excellence in design, based on how the Central City is to be used by people, giving emphasis to parks, green spaces, streetscapes, street trees, and places designed for walking, sitting, and to develop an open space infrastructure that will aid in the creation of a cohesive social fabric. To provide a full range of employment opportunities for persons of all income levels. The Project involves the redevelopment of the Development Site (currently a surface parking lot) with a new high-rise hotel project with public meeting room space, in close proximity to numerous other business and tourist destinations in the Historic Downtown Development Area and the greater downtown Los Angeles area. The provision of up to 35 new hotel guest rooms will significantly increase downtown s hotel inventory, while providing new employment opportunities and significant economic benefits to the City. Moreover, the design of the Project, as well as its proposed uses, will facilitate the continued revitalization of 4th and Spring Streets as vibrant, pedestrian friendly environments offering shopping, entertainment, lodging, and residential opportunities, in close proximity to significant transit infrastructure. Accordingly, the Project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan.. That the project consists of an arrangement of buildings and structures (including height, bulk and setbacks), off-street parking facilities, loading areas, lighting, landscaping, trash collection, and other such pertinent improvements, that is or will be compatible with existing and future development on adjacent properties and neighboring properties. Height, Bulk, and Setbacks The Project s height, bulk, and massing are consistent with multiple adjacent and proximate buildings. The Project, at stories and a total height of approximately 30 feet (approximately 7 feet to the roofline), is compatible with both the Banco Popular building across Spring Street at 354 S. Spring St., which is several stories shorter, and the nearby Continental Building at 408 S. Spring St., which is one story taller. The Page 5 of 7

29 mass of the proposed Project, at approximately 5.: FAR, is also similar to surrounding properties. Furthermore, the Project will create a continuous streetwall where there is currently a void due to the current existing surface parking lot, and will meet the sidewalk in conformance with the standards and guidelines of the Downtown Design Guide. Accordingly, the Project s height, bulk, and setbacks are compatible with adjacent and neighboring properties. Parking and Loading The Project will provide 8 vehicular parking spaces at the adjacent parking garage located on the Garage Site. Vehicular access to a valet drop-off area will be provided from Spring Street along the northeast portion of the Development Site, as well as from 4th Street along the existing community driveway along the northwest portion of the Development Site. The Project will also provide short- and long-term bicycle parking spaces in compliance with the LAMC s requirements. Landscaping and Open Space Landscaping would be provided at the Project s ground level along Spring Street and 4th Street, and a green roof would be provided at level. The Development Site contains 8 non-protected trees, which will be removed to accommodate the development of the Project. One existing street tree will be retained and protected during Project construction, and new street trees and additional landscaping will be provided along the Project s street frontages in accordance with the Downtown Design Guide and the Urban Forestry Division s policies. Lighting The Project will provide attractive lighting, properly shielded and directed on-site, as well as sufficient security lighting throughout the Site. Trash Collection and Loading Area The Project will provide a trash collection and loading area in conformance with the LAMC s requirements. 3. That any residential project provides recreational and service amenities to improve habitability for its residents and minimize impacts on neighboring properties. The Project contains hotel and public meeting space uses, as well as amenity spaces for its guests, including seating areas, limited food service, and a guest-only bar. It is not considered a residential project for purposes of the LAMC s open space and recreational amenity requirements. 4. The Project incorporates feasible mitigation measures, monitoring measures when necessary, or alternatives identified in the environmental review that would Page 6 of 7

30 substantially less the significant environmental effects of the Project, and/or any additional findings as may be required by CEQA. The Project will be conditioned to comply with all project design features and mitigation measures identified through the environmental review process conducted for the Project pursuant to CEQA.
