The Project site is located within the city of Glendale (City) in Los Angeles County. The Project proposes to demolish all existing structures and the existing surface parking for the construction of four new structures containing: (1) ten production sound stage studios (individually, a Stage and, collectively, the Stages), (2) three flex spaces (individually, a Flex Space), production office uses and commissary, (3) various support spaces (both Flex Space support, Mill spaces, and Stage support), (4) an above-grade parking garage with 419 parking spaces(Parking Garage), and (4) related surface parking lot with 114 spaces (Surface Parking), as shown in Figure 2.0-2: Project Site Plan. The Project’s various components are separated by fire lanes that vary approximately 26-45 feet in width and roughly bisects the property on two sides from north to south, and also transects the Property from running north to south and east to west. The fire lane also provides vehicular access to the Project’s multiple components.

The Project’s four structures will contain approximately 406,318 square feet of gross floor area. The first building (Building 1) fronts West San Fernando Road and West Milford Street and contains a total of approximately 214,885 square feet of gross floor area comprised of Production Office uses (including a ground floor entry lobby), 8, commissary, and 2 flex spaces on the ground floor and 1 mill space on the ground floor. Building 1 also contains the Parking Garage. The second building (Building 2) is located to the east of the Building 1, fronts Milford Street, and contains approximately 97,905 square feet of gross floor area with 5 Stages and 1 Flex Space uses. The third building (Building 3) is located to the south of Building 2, separated by part of the fire lane, and contains approximately 93,528 square feet of gross floor area with 5 Stages. The fourth building (Building 4) abuts Building 3 on the south with frontage on South Fernando Road and is adjacent to the southern legal non-conforming residential properties. The fourth building, the Parking Structure, fronts West San Fernando Road and West Milford Street and contains 419 parking spaces. The remaining 114 spaces will be provided on the Surface Parking. The Project will provide a total of 533 parking spaces (in both the Parking Structure and the Surface Parking) and 12 loading spaces.

The potential impacts of the Project were determined to be less than significant for the following topics: aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, land use and planning, and transportation. The potential impacts of the Project were determined to be less than significant for the following topics with the mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR: hazards and hazardous materials and noise and vibration. No significant and unavoidable impacts are identified in the Draft EIR for the proposed Project.

COMMENTING ON THE DRAFT EIR: Consistent with the requirements of Sections 15087 of the State CEQA Guidelines, this Draft EIR is being made available on April 3, 2023, to 5:00p.m., May 3, 2023, for public review for a period of 30 days.

Comments received on the Draft EIR, will all be responded to in the Final EIR.

1420 Valley View Road

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Project proposes to subdivide the current lot into two parcels for the development of two single-family dwellings. The structures at 1420 Valley View Road were demolished without first obtaining the necessary approvals. The Project will include a historic resources analysis to determine the historical significance of the residential buildings previously on site and whether that historical resource was adversely affected by the demolition. The potential impacts of subdivision of one lot into two lots will also be considered. A limited-issue EIR was prepared focusing on analyses of air quality/greenhouse gas emissions and noise during construction and effects on the historic structures. Alternatives that were considered in the EIR include the No Project Alternative (no subdivision or construction of new dwellings) and No Subdivision Alternative, which would involve rebuilding one single-family house and appurtenant structures on one lot.

The Draft EIR has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the State and Local Guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the findings of the Initial Study, the Draft EIR examines impacts related to Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Noise. The Draft EIR found that impacts related to Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Noise would be less than significant; but impacts to Cultural Resources would result in significant and unavoidable environmental impacts.

COMMENTING ON THE DRAFT EIR: The Draft EIR will be available for public review and comment for a period of 30 days on and after April 20, 2023.

6231- 6325 San Fernando Road

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed Project is

the construction of a 6,200 square-foot addition to an existing one-story, 6,087 square-foot, commercial/industrial building (6325 San Fernando Road, constructed in 1968), located in the C3 I (Commercial Services) zone, Height District I;
the construction of a 2,780 square-foot ground level addition and 4,832 square-foot mezzanine addition within an existing 6,648 square-foot, commercial/industrial building (6311 San Fernando Road, constructed in 1972);
the demolition of 848 square-feet and façade improvement to an existing 52,848 square-foot commercial/industrial building (6265 San Fernando Road, constructed in 1953);
and the construction of a 7,789 square-foot addition to an existing one-story, 2,211 square-foot commercial/industrial building (6231 San Fernando Road, constructed in 1921).

The project site is approximately 187,440 square-feet (4.3 acres) in size, located in the IMU (Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use) Zone. The Project will function as general commercial offices. The existing parking spaces at the Project site will be reconfigured with a code compliant amount of 263 parking spaces and 23 non-code compliant tandem parking spaces. The proposed project requires approval from the Design Review Board.

The Project site is generally located mid-block of San Fernando Road, between Sonora Avenue and Grandview Avenue. Surrounding the Project site are commercial businesses (retail, restaurants, auto repair, etc.) to the west (across San Fernando Road) located in the IMU (Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use) zone, office and retail to the north located within the C3-I (Commercial Service-Height District I) zone, auto repair to the south located in the IMU (Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use) zone, and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the south located in the T (Transportation) zone.

Construction of the project will occur over a single phase, which will take place over a period of approximately 60 weeks or 14 months. The amount of soil import to the site will be approximately 574 cubic yards (426 cubic yards cut; 1,000 cubic yards fill). Based on this estimate, the excavation material would require approximately 56 truck trips, assuming 16 cubic yards per truck. Due to the nature of the project, excavation would not occur over the entire 60 week construction period, but would be concentrated over approximately two weeks within the first five weeks of construction. The maximum number of haul truck trips per eight-hour work day is anticipated to be 8. The primary inbound haul route to the Project site would be from the Western Avenue exit of the Interstate 5 Freeway, then right onto San Fernando Road ending at the Project site. The same route is anticipated to be used for outbound trucks. The project site is approximately 4.3 acres allowing for staging areas and construction worker parking to take place onsite.

Holy Family Campus Master Plan – 214 E. Elk Ave., 209 E. Lomita Ave., 400 E. Lomita Ave., and 404 S. Louise St.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project encompasses the expansion of and improvements to the Holy Family Campus (“Campus”) in conjunction with the proposed “Master Plan” for Holy Family. The Campus is located in the R-1650 multi-family residential zone on three corner properties and includes the Holy Family Elementary School located at 404 South Louise Street, Holy Family Church located at 214 East Elk Avenue and the Parish Office/Rectory at 209 East Lomita Avenue, and Holy Family High School located at 400 East Lomita Avenue. The proposed expansion of and improvements to the existing private school (Holy Family High School) and the existing church (Holy Family Church) will occur over two phases as described below. No changes to the elementary school are proposed as part of the Master Plan.

Holy Family High School (400 East Lomita Avenue) – The expansion of the existing private high school includes the development of two new buildings on the 124,338 square-foot site: a 12,600 square-foot, two-story building (Parish Center) and a 2,900 square-foot, one-story building. The high school project site is located on the south-east corner of Lomita Avenue and South Louise Street, and is currently developed with three buildings, as well as associated playground areas for the students and parking for the Holy Family Campus. The current student capacity for the all-girls High School will remain at 280 students, and the proposal does not include expanding the enrollment capacity. The existing high school building was built in 1950 and will remain; no changes are proposed to the high school building. The proposed project will require demolition of the other two buildings on-site that include the existing Parish Hall (originally built in 1923) and an existing, ancillary storage building (St. Anthony’s, built in 1964). Development of the site also includes improvements to the existing playground areas and reconfiguration of the on-site parking.

The applicant is requesting the following discretionary approvals:

a parking reduction to provide a total of 162 stalls for the private school and new buildings, where 287 parking spaces are required;
a conditional use permit to allow the expansion of the existing private school;
a setback and standards variance to allow the construction of a new fence in the street-front and street-side setback areas and to provide less landscaping than required by code.

Holy Family Church (214 East Elk Avenue and 209 East Lomita Avenue) – The proposal is to demolish an existing two-story, 3,055 square-foot office building (209 East Lomita Avenue) to provide 22 on-site parking spaces on the 19,450 square-foot project site. The site is currently developed with two buildings that include the Holy Family Church and Parish Office/Rectory. The existing church located at 214 East Elk Avenue was built in 1921 and will remain; no changes are proposed to the church building. The existing parish office building located at 209 East Lomita Avenue (west of the church) was built in 1977 and will be replaced with a surface parking lot for the church. A lot line adjustment application and a demolition clearance application have been submitted for this portion of the project.

The proposed “Master Plan” for the Holy Family Campus will be implemented over two phases as follows:

Phase 1 – This phase involves improvements to the church and high school that will be completed in three sub-phases that include the following:
Phase 2 – This phase deals with the high school site only:

Discretionary Permits:

Development of the high school portion of the project will require approval by the Planning Hearing Officer for the Parking Reduction Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Variances. The project will also have to obtain approval from the Design Review Board for the new construction.

Development of the parking lot adjacent to the church will require approval by the Director of Community Development for a Lot Line Adjustment and a Demolition Clearance application.

The applicant is also requesting a development agreement to maintain all discretionary approvals for a maximum of ten (10 years); the development agreement will require recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by City Council.

1809 Verdugo Boulevard

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed project includes the development of a new three-story 35,000 square-foot residential congregate living/medical facility with 79-beds, a 32 space semi-subterranean parking garage (below new building), and a new 36,780 square-foot parking garage (one level subterranean and two levels above grade) with 110 spaces on a 64,495 square-foot site consisting of three lots, located in the C2-I (Community Commercial-Height District I) Zone (Project). The Project site is currently developed with a four-story 35,980 square-foot medical office building (constructed in 1984) and with surface parking spaces and minimal landscaping. There are no protected indigenous trees species on or within 20 feet of the site. The new residential congregate living facility/medical building will function as a residential use for persons in need of on-site assistance with activities of daily living and on-site assistance with medical care. The new 36,780 square-foot parking garage with 110 parking spaces will replace the existing surface parking spaces currently servicing the existing four-story 35,980 square-foot medical office building. The existing medical office building and the 36 parking spaces within the building at the ground level will remain. The proposed project requires approval from the Design Review Board.

The Project site is located at the northwest corner of Verdugo Boulevard and La Tour Way.

Surrounding the Project site are

State Route 2 (SR2)/Interstate 210 (I-210) freeway interchange to the north and west,
y of La Cañada Flintridge developed with single-family residences to the east and across La Tour Way,
mercial development in City of La Cañada Flintridge further west beyond the SR2/I-210 interchange,
USC Verdugo Hills Hospital located within the C3-III (Commercial Service-Height District III) and PPD (Precise Plan of Development) zone.

Construction of the project will occur over three phases as follows:

Phase I - Improve the site with a new driveway accessed from Verdugo Boulevard and located west of the existing four-story medical office building;
Phase II – Demolish portions of the existing surface parking lot located at the northeast portion of the Project site (behind the existing four-story approximate 35,980 square-foot medical office building) and construct a 110 space parking structure; and
Phase III - Demolish the remaining portions of the surface parking lot located at the western portion of the Project site and construct the proposed three-story, 35,000 square-foot, residential congregate living/medical facility with a 32 space semi-subterranean garage.

The project’s three phases will take place over a period of approximate 103 weeks or 8.5 months. The amount of soil export from the site will be approximately 8,000 cubic yards during Phase II and approximately 6,110 cubic yards during Phase III (14,110 cubic yards total). Based on this estimate, the excavation material would require approximately 500 truck trips during Phase II and approximately 382 truck trips during Phase III, assuming 16 cubic yards per truck for a total of 882 truck trips. Due to the nature of the project, excavation would not occur over the entire 103 week period, but would be concentrated over approximately three weeks within the first eight weeks of both Phases II and III. The maximum number of haul truck trips per eight-hour work day is anticipated to be 33. The primary inbound haul route to the Project site is projected to be from the Verdugo Boulevard exit of the SR2 Freeway, then right onto Verdugo, and the route would end at the Project site via the new driveway to be constructed at Phase I. The same route would be used for outbound trucks. The north side (west bound) Verdugo Boulevard would be used as the staging area and parking during the construction period.

Scholl Canyon Landfill Expansion

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The City of Glendale will be the Lead Agency and has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for this project:

The Sanitation Districts has identified two variations for the proposed project, which include a vertical expansion only (Variation 1) and a vertical and horizontal expansion (Variation 2). Variation 1 will provide approximately 11.5 million cubic yards of additional capacity and will extend the life of the landfill by 13 years (assuming a continued baseline disposal rate of 1,400 tons per day). Variation 2 will provide approximately 16.5 million cubic yards of additional capacity and will extend the life of the landfill by 19 years (assuming a continued baseline disposal rate of 1,400 tons per day). The proposed project will increase the capacity of the project site and therefore increase the life of the landfill to provide long-term disposal for the watershed. Neither variation would change current operations at the Scholl Canyon Landfill. The proposed project will provide waste diversion programs and disposal capacity to help meet the solid waste management needs of the City and other landfill users. The proposed project would also include the continued recovery of materials such as green waste, asphalt, soil, tires, metals, and other economically recoverable commodities through ongoing landfill waste diversion programs, which help jurisdictions to comply with state-mandated diversion goals. In addition, the proposed project would extend the recovery and beneficial use of landfill gas and thereby help meet California’s renewable energy goals.

The Draft Environmental Impact Report public comment period has been extended to August 29, 2014.
