NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: The City Council finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals of this Ordinance are true and correct. CEQA Findings. On June 14, 2011, the City certified an FEIR for the adoption of the Mixed Use Overlay and R-4 Zones (State Clearinghouse No. 2009061099). This Ordinance does not expand the land area for those Zones, does not increase allowable densities in those zones, and does not add new uses into those Zones. Accordingly, this Ordinance is within the scope of the project reviewed in that EIR and does not create any new or more severe impacts than the project evaluated in that EIR. As certified, the FEIR required an Environmental Mitigation Monitoring Program pursuant to CEQA Section 21081.6. That program required mitigation measures to address impacts under the following categories: aesthetic; air quality; public services; traffic and circulation; utilities and service systems; water supply and quality; construction-related noise; construction-related traffic; and constructionrelated air quality. Specifically, the mitigation monitoring program includes the following measures: (1) “As determined by the City, all applicants will provide information about the area-wide condition of the local sewer system serving respective sites, to the satisfaction of the City. If the conditions of the local sewer lines are not adequate to accommodate flows the developer(s) will contribute funds to identify area-wide improvements, including replacing the existing sewer line serving the site with a larger diameter line, as determined by the City;” (2) “As determined by the City, individual future developments will be required to prepare traffic studies that identify potential impacts and mitigation measures required for an individual project to reduce impacts on the street network and Congestion Management Program (CMP) facilities, including appropriate freeway segments; ” and (3) “Space will be allocated either within the buildings or in outdoor areas for collection and storage of recyclable materials. Plans for space allocation for recycling will be subject to City review and approval, upon application for a building or occupancy permit.” This Ordinance is intended to implement mitigation measures required under the FEIR’s mitigation monitoring program using defined development standards for the Mixed Use Overlay and R-4 Zones. Therefore, this Ordinance is within the scope of that EIR and implements its mitigation program. Accordingly, the City Council finds that no additional environmental review is required. The Planning Department Staff determined that the proposed amendments to the HMC contained in this Ordinance constitute a project within the scope of CEQA and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 5 Project (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 and thus is exempt from environmental review. The amendments do not change the land uses allowed on areas of slopes greater than 20%, do not change allowable land uses or their intensities, and do not result in any increases in density. The City Council has reviewed the Planning Department’s determination of exemption and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in staff’s determination of exemption. Third, the City Council also finds and determines that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption of the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, because the development standards adopted by this Ordinance will impose greater limitations on development in the City and reduce environmental impacts, and will thereby serve to reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts. It is therefore exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations. The City Council finds and determines that the zoning text amendments set forth in Sections 4 and 5 of this Ordinance are consistent with the goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan. The changes further Goal 2.0 and Policy 2.8 by ensuring that high-density uses are compatible with existing land use zones and do not adversely affect residents in those zones and by ensuring that multi-family projects do not create significant impacts to traffic circulation, traffic safety, sewer capacity, or parking availability. These text amendments further Goal 1.0 and Goal 3.0 by requiring a higher percentage of commercial/retail uses in the Mixed Use Overlay zone. The text amendments are also consistent with the purposes and intent of the R-4 and Mixed Use Overlay zones and are compatible with other uses in the zones. They do not conflict with the goals and policies in the General Plan. The development standards specified are appropriate and necessary to ensure that the uses specified do not have a negative impact on the community’s public health, safety, and welfare. Chapter 13.64 (Public Sewer Capacity) of Division II (Sewage And Waste Disposal) of Title 13 (Waters and Sewers) shall be amended to add new Section 13.64.030 (“Study requirements for specified development projects”) to read as follows: “13.64.030 Study requirement for specified development projects. A. A sewer capacity study shall be required for any of the following development projects: 1. A multi-family project [(a) in the R-4 zone; (b) with a density of 1.0 floor-to-area ratio and above; or (c) containing more than 10 dwelling units]. 2. A mixed-use project that includes more than 10 units of multi-family housing. B. A Licensed Civil Engineer, retained by the city at the applicant’s sole expense, shall prepare the sewer capacity study. C. The sewer capacity study shall determine the existing excess capacity of the sewer system servicing the property on which development is proposed. D. Based on the estimates in Section 13.64.020, the applicant must show that sewage flow from the project will not exceed the excess capacity of the existing sewer system. E. If the study finds that the sewage flow from the project will exceed the system’s excess capacity, the applicant shall make any alterations necessary to ensure that sewer flow will not exceed capacity, including the construction of additional sewer capacity or the implementation of project features to reduce flow rates.” The Hawthorne Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Title 14 to read as follows: “Title 14 T E C H N I C A L R E V I E W A N D S T U D Y R E Q U I R E M E N T S FOR SPECIFIED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Chapters: 14.02 Administrative Plan Review 14.04 Traffic Impact Studies 14.06 Site-Specific Traffic Safety Studies Chapter 14.02 Administrative Plan Review Sections: 14.02.040 Applicability. 14.02.060 Purpose. 14.02.080 Review Process and Scope. 14.02.040 Applicability. Administrative plan review, as defined in Section 14.02.080, shall be required for all multi-family and mixed-use developments in any zone in the City. 14.02.060 Purpose. The purpose of administrative plan review is to provide an informal process by which information about the proposed development project can be shared between an applicant and City staff. A goal of this process is to ensure that development projects satisfy all applicable standards and requirements, and potential problems and solutions in the project design are identified at the earliest possible stage and before formal applications are filed with the City. By doing so, applicants are able to incorporate those standards, requirements, and solutions in their plans when submitted for formal approval. Furthermore, administrative plan review is intended to expedite and streamline the formal review process. The information gathered and exchanged at this early stage is intended to give the applicant and City a procedure to improve the design of the project, ensure that it incorporates required elements and design features, and lessens the possibility that significant corrections will be needed late in the process, thereby avoiding potential delay in the formal review and approval of the project. 14.02.080 Review Process and Scope. A. Administrative plan review shall mean informal review of preliminary development plans for technical compliance with the requirements of this Title, Chapter 8.50 (Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Control) of Title 8 (Health and Safety), Title 13 (Waters and Sewers), Title 15 (Buildings and Construction), Title 17 (Zoning), to the extent applicable, and any other applicable provisions of the Hawthorne Municipal Code and State and Federal law. B. Administrative plan review shall involve City staff representatives from appropriate City departments, including, but not limited to, Planning, Building and Safety, and Public Works. C. Administrative plan review shall be an informal review of preliminary plans. Completion of this process does not involve or constitute the granting of any rights to development and does not result in any ministerial or discretionary development approval. No fee shall be charged to the applicant for its submittal for, or participation in, administrative plan review. Chapter 14.04 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDIES Sections: 14.04.020 Applicability. 14.04.040 Study requirements. 14.04.060 Standards. 14.04.080 Requirements for project approval. 14.04.020 Applicability.

Any multi-family project (a) in the R-4 zone, (b) that is likely to add 43 or more peak hour trips, or (c) multi-family project with 40 or more units]. B. Any mixed-use project (a) that includes more than 40 multi-family residential units; (b) with ground-level multi-family residential units; or (c) that is likely to add 43 or more peak hour trips. This chapter shall not limit the effect of any other requirements under local, state, or federal law. 14.04.040 Study requirements. A. A Licensed Traffic Engineer consultant, retained by the city at the applicant’s sole expense, shall prepare the traffic impact study. The project applicant shall submit the traffic impact study to the Department of Public Works as part of the project application. B. The traffic Impact study shall determine the current and projected (with project) levels of service and volume-to capacity ratio at all potentially affected intersections within a onemile radius of the proposed project. The levels of service shall be based on Table 1 of the Circulation Element of the General Plan using the Intersection Capacity Utilization method. C. Traffic impact Study shall also determine the current and projected (with project) impacts at the following California Department of Transportation off-ramps within a three-mile radius of the project site utilizing strict Caltrans guidelines: WB 105 off-ramp to Hawthorne Blvd. WB 105 off-ramp to Prairie Ave. WB 105 off-ramp to Crenshaw Blvd. EB 105 off-ramp to 120th St. NB 405 off-ramp El Segundo Blvd. SB 405 off-ramp to La Cienega/El Segundo Blvd. SB 405 off-ramp to El Segundo Blvd. NB 405 off-ramp to Rosecrans Ave. SB 405 off-ramp to Rosecrans Ave. SB 405 off-ramp to Hindry Ave. 14.04.060 Project impact standards. A project specified in Section 14.04.020 shall satisfy the following traffic impact development standards: A. The proposed development will not increase Intersection Capacity Utilization by: 0.01 or more at an intersection operating at an E or F Level of Service; 0.02 or more at an intersection operating at a D Level of Service; or 0.04 or more at an intersection operating at a C Level of Service.
