City Council from front page
but businesses of those categories already in
Smoky Hollow can remain there indefinitely
as “non-conforming.”
For development standards, the plan seeks to
raise floor area ratio (FAR) from 0.6 to 0.75
in the west section of Smoky Hollow and then
from 0.6 to 1.0 in the east as it gets closer to
Pacific Coast Highway. This will be calculated
on gross square feet rather than net, McClain
noted. Developers who desire additional FAR
can offer a community benefit (e.g. public
open space, parking, bike lockers, funding
for streetscape improvements, public art) in
exchange for the concession – with approval
required by the Planning Commission to go
up to 1.5 and by the Council if above 1.5.
Proposed building setback changes are to
go from the current 4-10 feet in the front of
properties to zero as an attempt to “energize
sidewalks,” McClain explained. Rear setbacks
would also go from 5 feet to zero, but to 10
feet if adjacent to an alley in case someone
wants to use the area for a loading zone or
employee basketball court, as examples. Loading
spaces won’t be required in most cases,
but will still be needed for restaurants or very
large buildings. The City will also explore
having a common loading area on each block.
With parking identified as the top challenge
in Smoky Hollow, staff looked to simplify
requirements. The plan proposes one space
be provided for every 400 gross square feet.
For pre-existent non-conforming properties,
changes in occupancy will trigger compliance.
McClain then went over the recommended
in-lieu parking program that considers the
City’s actual cost to provide a parking space
in Smoky Hollow. Under the arrangement, a
property owner/developer can pay a set amount
into a fund instead of providing an actual space.
The money then goes into an account to build
future parking, though it doesn’t guarantee a
spot for that owner. After extensive analysis,
staff arrived at an in-lieu fee of $27,600 per
space with recommended payment methods
to remit the full total all at once or provide
50 percent up front and then 10 annual payments
for the remainder. Mayor Pro Tem Carol
Pirsztuk wondered if a smaller amount such
as $15,000 might be “more palatable” out of
concern the larger price tag might “turn off”
prospective investors. McClain indicated that
staff would monitor the program and can revisit
the terms if not proving to be popular. However,
he reported that the City approached several
developers with the proposed cost and most
felt the amount was fair and doable.
In addition to the aforementioned changes
to El Segundo Boulevard lanes, the plan also
suggests moving the white dash lane on Grand
one foot in towards the center so as to create
space for shared bike lanes. It also addresses
Franklin Avenue, viewed as “the backbone of
Smoky Hollow,” with thoughts of making it a
“more friendly street” with improved pedestrian,
bike and (potentially) scooter access,
and decorative crosswalks. The strategy for
north-south streets is to create head-in, angled
parking spaces on one side of the street and to
make streets one way. The move could add 85
new parking spaces, but implementation will
depend on the success of the in-lieu program.
Additional funding can potentially come from
district-based resources (e.g. special assessment
districts, business improvement districts).
The Smoky Hollow plan came back with
a mostly clean environmental impact report.
Significant, unavoidable impacts showed up in
three traffic-related areas: greenhouse gases,
noise levels near PCH and traffic on PCH.
