2 MTGATED NEGATE DECLARATON EN MND Aesthetcs (Landscape Plan) Envronmental mpacts to the character and aesthetcs of the neghborhood may result from project mplementaton. However the potental mpacts wll be mtgated to a less than sgnfcant level by the followng measure: All open areas not used for buldngs drveways parkng areas recreatonal facltes or walks shall be attractvely landscaped and mantaned n accordance wth a landscape plan and an automatc rrgaton plan prepared by a Landscape Practtoner (Sec D) and to the satsfacton of the decson maker. Ar Polluton (Demolton Gradng and Constructon Actvtes) All unpaved demolton and constructon areas shall be wetted at least twce daly durng excavaton and constructon and temporary dust covers shall be used to reduce dust emssons and meet SCAQMD Dstrct Rule 403. Wettng could reduce fugtve dust by as much as 50 percent. The constructon area shall be kept suffcently dampened to control dust caused by gradng and haulng and at all tmes provde reasonable control of dust caused by wnd. All clearng earth movng or excavaton actvtes shall be dscontnued durng perods of hgh wnds (.e. greater than 15 mph) so as to prevent excessve amounts of dust. All drt/sol loads shall be secured by trmmng waterng or other approprate means to prevent spllage and dust. All drt/sol materals transported off-ste shall be ether suffcently watered or securely covered to prevent excessve amount of dust. General contractors shall mantan and operate constructon equpment so as to mnmze exhaust emssons. Trucks havng no current haulng actvty shall not dle but be turned off. Sesmc Envronmental mpacts to the safety of future occupants may result due to the project's locaton n an area of potental sesmc actvty. However ths potental mpact wll be mtgated to a less than sgnfcant level by the' followng measure: The desgn and constructon of the project shall conform to the Calforna Buldng Code sesmc standards as approved by the Department of Buldng and Safety Exploson/Release (Exstng Toxc/Hazardous Constructon Materals) Due to the age of the buldng(s) beng demolshed toxc and/or hazardous constructon materals may be located n the structure(s). Exposure to such materals durng demolton or constructon actvtes could be hazardous to the health of the demolton workers as well as area resdents employees and future occupants. However these mpacts can be mtgated to a less than sgnfcant level by the followng measure: (Asbestos) Pror to the ssuance of any permt for the demolton or alteraton of the exstng structure(s) the applcant shall provde a letter to the Department of Buldng and Safety from a qualfed asbestos abatement consultant ndcatng that no Asbestos-Contanng Materals (ACM) are present n the buldng. f ACMs are found to be present t wll need to be abated n complance wth the South Coast Ar Qualty Management Dstrct's Rule 1403 as well as all other applcable State and Federal rules and regulatons. (Lead Pant) Pror to ssuance of any permt for the demolton or alteraton of the exstng structure(s) a lead-based pant survey shall be performed to the wrtten satsfacton of the Department of Buldng and Safety. Should lead-based pant materals be dentfed standard handlng and dsposal practces shall be mplemented pursuant to OSHA regulatons. (Polychlornated Bphenyl- Commercal and ndustral Buldngs) Pror to ssuance of a demolton permt a. polychlornated bphenyl (PCB) abatement contractor shall conduct a survey of the project ste to dentfy and assst wth complance wth applcable state and federal rules and regulaton governng PCB removal and dsposal. X-20. ncreased Nose Levels (Demolton Gradng and Constructon Actvtes) The project shall comply wth the Cty of Los Angeles Nose Ordnance No and and any subsequent ordnances whch prohbt the emsson or creaton of nose beyond certan levels at adjacent uses unless techncally nfeasble.

Demolton and constructon actvtes shall be scheduled so as to avod operatng several peces of equpment smultaneously whch causes hgh nose levels. EN MND Page 2 ofl6

3 MTGATED NEGATE DECLARATON EN MND The project contractor shall use power constructon equpment wth state-of-the-art nose sheldng and mufflng devces. Xl-10. Utltes (Local Water Supples - Landscapng) Envronmental mpacts may result from project mplementaton due to the cumulatve ncrease n demand on the Cty's water supples. However ths potental mpact wll be mtgated to a less than sgnfcant level by the followng measures: The project shall comply wth Ordnance No (Water Management Ordnance) whch mposes numerous water conservaton measures n landscape nstallaton and mantenance (e.g use drp rrgaton and soak hoses n leu of sprnklers to lower the amount of water lost to evaporaton and overspray set automatc sprnkler systems to rrgate durng the early mornng or evenng hours to mnmze water loss due to evaporaton and water less n the coolermonths and durng the rany season). n addton to the requrements of the Landscape Ordnance the landscape plan shall ncorporate the followng: Weather-based rrgaton controller wth ran shutoff Matched precptaton (flow) rates for sprnkler heads Drp/mcrospray/subsurface rrgaton where approprate Mnmum rrgaton system dstrbuton unformty of 75 percent Proper hydro-zonng turf mnmzaton and use of natve/drought tolerant plan materals Use of landscape contourng to mnmze precptaton runoff A separate water meter (or submeter) flow sensor and master valve shutoff shall be nstalled for exstng and expanded rrgated landscape areas totalng 5000 sf. and greater. X-20. Utltes (Local Water Supples - All New Constructon) Envronmental mpacts may result from project mplementaton due to the cumulatve ncrease n demand on the Cty's water supples.

5 Determnaton (To Be Completed By Lead Agency) On the bass of ths ntal evaluaton: o. o o o fnd that the proposed project COULD NOT have a sgnfcant effect on the envronment and a NEGATE DECLARATON wll be prepared. fnd that although the proposed project could have a sgnfcant effect on the envronment there wll not be a sgnfcant effect n ths case because revsons on the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MTGATED NEGATE DECLARATON wll be prepared. fnd the proposed project MAY have a sgnfcant effect on the envronment and an ENRONMENTAL REPORT s requred. MPACT fnd the proposed project MAY have a "potentally sgnfcant mpact" or "potentally sgnfcant unless mtgated" mpact on the envronment but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed n an earler document pursuant to applcable legal standards and 2) has been addressed by mtgaton measures based on earler analyss as descrbed on attached sheets. An ENRONMENTAL MPACT REPORT s requred but t must analyze only the effects that reman to be addressed. fnd that although the proposed project could have a sgnfcant effect on the envronment because all potentally sgnfcant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately n an earler ER or NEGATE DECLARATON pursuant to applcable standards and (b) have been avoded or mtgated pursuant to that earler ER or NEGATE DECLARATON ncludng revsons or mtgaton measures that are mposed upon the proposed project nothng further s requred. Cty Plannng Assocate (213) ========================================================.4 Sgnature Ttle Phone Evaluaton Of Envronmental mpacts: 1. A bref explanaton s requred for all answers except "No mpact=answers that are adequately supported by the nformaton sources a lead agency ctes n the parentheses followng each queston. A "No mpact" answer s adequately supported f the referenced nformaton sources show that the mpact smply does not apply to projects lke the one nvolved (e.g. the project falls outsde a fault rupture zone). A "No mpact" answer should be explaned where t s based on project-specfc factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project wll not expose senstve receptors to pollutants based on a project-specfc screenng analyss). 2. All answers must take account of the whole acton nvolved ncludng off-ste as well as on-ste cumulatve as well as project-lever ndrect as well as drect and constructon as well as operatonal mpacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determned that a partcular physcal mpact may occur then the checklst answers must ndcate whether the mpact s potentally sgnfcant less that sgnfcant wth mtgaton or less than sgnfcant. "Potentally Sgnfcant mpact" s approprate f there s substantal evdence that an effect may be sgnfcant. f there are one or more "Potentally Sgnfcant mpact" entres when the determnaton s made an ER s requred. 4. "Negatve Declaraton: Less Than Sgnfcant Wth Mtgaton ncorporated" apples where the ncorporaton of a mtgaton measure has reduced an effect from "Potentally Sgnfcant mpact" to "Less Than Sgnfcant mpact." The lead agency must descrbe the mtgaton measures and brefly explan how they reduce the effect to a less than sgnfcant level (mtgaton measures from "Earler Analyses" as descrbed n (5) below may be cross-referenced). 5. Earler analyses may be used where pursuant to the terng program ER or other CEQA process an effect has been adequately analyzed n an earler ER or negatve declaraton. Secton (c)(3)(d). n ths case a bref dscusson should dentfy the followng: a. Earler Analyss Used. dentfy and state where they are avalable for revew. b. mpacts Adequately Addressed. dentfy whch effects from the above checklst were wthn the scope of and adequately analyzed n an earler document pursuant to applcable legal standards and state whether such effects were addressed by mtgaton measures based on the earler analyss. c. Mtgaton Measures. For effects that are "Less than Sgnfcant wth Mtgaton Measures ncorporated" descrbe the mtgaton measures whch were ncorporated or refned from the earler document and the extent to whch they address ste-specfc condtons for the project. = EN MND Page 5 of 16

Reference to a prevously prepared or outsde document should where approprate nclude a reference to the page or pages where the statement s substantated. 7. Supportng nformaton Sources: A sources lst should be attached and other sources used or ndvduals contacted should be cted n the dscusson. 8. Ths s only a suggested form and lead agences are free to use dfferent formats; however lead agences should normally address the questons from ths checklst that are relevant to a project's envronmental effects n whatever format s selected. 9. The explanaton of each ssue should dentfy: a. The sgnfcance crtera or threshold f any used to evaluate each queston; and b. The mtgaton measure dentfed f any to reduce the mpact to less than sgnfcance. EN-Z013-Z366-MND Page 6 of 16

13 DSCUSSON OF THE ENRONMENTAL EALUATON (Attach addtonal sheetsf necessary) The Envronmental mpact Assessment ncludes the use of offcal Cty of Los Angeles and other government source reference materals related to varous envronmental mpact categores (e.g. Hydrology Ar Qualty Bology Cultural Resources etc.). The State of Calforna Department of Conservaton Dvson of Mnes and Geology - Sesmc Hazard Maps and reports are used to dentfy potental future sgnfcant sesmc events; ncludng probable magntudes lquefacton and landslde hazards. Based on applcant nformaton provded n the Master Land Use Applcaton and Envronmental Assessment Form mpact evaluatons were based on stated facts contaned theren ncludng but not lmted to reference materals ndcated above feld nvestgaton of the project ste and any other relable reference materals known at the tme. Project specfc mpacts were evaluated based on all relevant facts ndcated n the Envronmental Assessment Form and expressed through the applcant's project descrpton and supportve materals. Both the ntal Study Checklst and Checklst Explanatons n conjuncton wth the Cty of Los Angeles's Adopted Thresholds Gude and CEQA Gudelnes were used to reach reasonable conclusons on envronmental mpacts as mandated under the Calforna Envronmental Qualty Act (CEQA). The project as dentfed n the project descrpton may cause potentally sgnfcant mpacts on the envronment wthout mtgaton. Therefore ths envronmental analyss concludes that a Mtgated Negatve Declaraton shall be ssued to avod and mtgate all potental adverse mpacts on the envronment by the mposton of mtgaton measures and/or condtons contaned and expressed n ths document; the envronmental case fle known asen mnd and the assocated case(s) APCS ZC-CDO. Fnally based on the fact that these mpacts can be feasbly mtgated to less than sgnfcant and based on the fndngs and thresholds for Mandatory Fndngs of Sgnfcance as descrbed n the Calforna Envronmental Qualty Act secton the overall project mpact(s) on the envronment (after mtgaton) wll not: Substantally degrade envronmental qualty. Substantally reduce fsh or wldlfe habtat. Cause a fsh or wldlfe habtat to drop below self sustanng levels. Threaten to elmnate a plant or anmal communty. Reduce number or restrct range of a rare threatened or endangered speces. Elmnate mportant examples of major perods of Calforna hstory or prehstory. Acheve short-term goals to the dsadvantage of long-term goals. Result n envronmental effects that are ndvdually lmted but cumulatvely consderable. Result n envronmental effects that wll cause substantal adverse effects on human bengs.
