Page I-17, mdify the paragraph as fllws: The design schematics fr the prpsed new cnstructin n the prject site indicate the new buildings wuld be mdern in style, and the massing wuld be bxy and hrizntally riented. A relatively lw cllectin f buildings in a mdern style wuld be easily differentiated frm the lder sanctuary building, and the new buildings wuld be cmplementary t the sanctuary in height and scale. Therefre, the related new cnstructin f the prpsed prject wuld adhere t applicable Standards, and wuld nt impact the sanctuary building. The vast majrity f the prpsed prject wuld have n direct r indirect impacts n the sanctuary building, which is the nly histric resurce n the prject site. Hwever, the prpsed interir alteratins in Phase III have the ptential t impact the sanctuary building. Therefre, a mitigatin measure is required t ensure the sanctuary building remains eligible fr listing in the Natinal and Califrnia Register. With the implementatin f the mitigatin measure included belw, impacts t the histric resurce wuld be mitigated t a less than a significant level. The prpsed new buildings wuld be multiple stries; hwever the new buildings wuld be built int the dwnward slpe t the suth f the prject site. The stries built belw the grade f Hllywd Bulevard wuld be cnsidered subterranean relative t the grade f the sanctuary building. The height f the new cnstructin abve the grade f Hllywd Bulevard wuld be apprximately tw stries, cmparable t the height f the existing sanctuary and administratin buildings. The design schematics fr the prpsed new cnstructin n the prject site indicate the new buildings wuld be mdern in style, and the massing wuld be bxy and hrizntally riented. A relatively lw cllectin f buildings in a mdern style wuld be easily differentiated frm the lder sanctuary building, and the new buildings wuld be cmplementary t the sanctuary in height and scale. Therefre, the related new cnstructin f the Prpsed Prject wuld adhere t applicable Standards, and impacts f new cnstructin n the sanctuary building wuld be less than significant. The vast majrity f the Prpsed Prject wuld have n direct r indirect impacts n the sanctuary building, which is the nly histric resurce n the prject site. Hwever, interir and exterir alteratins that may be prpsed in the future wuld have the ptential t impact the sanctuary building if they wuld demlish r materially alter in an adverse manner thse physical characteristics f the sanctuary building that justify its eligibility fr inclusin in the Califrnia Register. Because these mdificatins are nt and cannt be knwn at this time, a mitigatin measure with perfrmance standards is required t prvide fr evaluatin f any such prpsed mdificatins at the time they are prpsed.

I. Intrductin/Summary, Table I-1, Summary f Envirnmental Impacts and Mitigatin Measures, Traffic and Transprtatin 10. Page I-37, mdify the paragraphs as fllws: As part f the cnstructin, a haul rute request will be filed fr apprval by the City f Ls Angeles. In rder t maintain minimal interference with n street traffic mvement, the Prpsed Prject will nt cnduct cnstructin activities that impede int the radway during peak travel timesand schl peratins. Any cnstructin activities during this time perid will be cnducted n-site nly. Cnstructin activities will be cnducted n-site t the greatest extent feasible. Hwever, it is likely that sme cnstructin activity will encrach n the adjacent radways. As such, a traffic lane requirement plan will be requested frm the LADOT, as necessary. With apprval f a haul rute and traffic lane requirement plan, cnstructin-related traffic impacts wuld be less than significant. Page III-4

5 City f Ls Angeles February 2009 The prject is expected t generate 294 net daily trips, including 79 AM peak trips (48 inbund, utbund) and 62 PM peak hur f generatr trips (26 inbund, 36 utbund), and 29 PM peak hur trips (9 inbund, 20 utbund). The PM Peak Hur f Generatr is the peak traffic generated by the schl which is earlier than the typical street PM Peak Hur f traffic as t reflect mre typical schl dismissal times. The PM Peak is the afternn/evening peak street cnditins. Future (2010) baseline traffic vlumes fr the Withut Prject cnditin were determined by cmbining area ambient traffic grwth with the ttal related prjects traffic vlumes. The prject vlumes were then cmbined with the Future (2010) Withut Prject traffic vlumes t develp the Future (2010) With Prject vlumes, which were used t determine traffic impacts directly attributable t the prject. Accrding t the LADOT traffic impact standards, a traffic impact is cnsidered significant if the related increase in the CMA value equals r exceeds the established threshlds. Fr the Future (2010) Withut Prject cnditin, it is estimated that eight f the study intersectins will cntinue t have gd levels f service (LOS A thrugh LOS C) during bth peak hurs. Fr the With Prject cnditin, seven f the study intersectins will cntinue t perate at LOS A thrugh LOS C during bth peak hurs, while an additinal tw intersectins are frecast t perate at LOS D r better during ne r bth peak hurs. The remaining tw study intersectins are expected t perate at LOS E r F during ne r bth peak hurs. As shwn in Table IV.I-9, nne f the study intersectins are impacted by the prject traffic vlume using the significant impact criteria established by the LADOT. It shuld be nted that the impact analysis des nt cnsider any changes t the intersectins as may be required f ther prjects in the vicinity. II. Prject Descriptin, Discretinary Actins 11.

IV.A. Impacts Fund T Be Less Than Significant, Utilities, Wastewater 12. Page IV.A-18, mdify the tables and paragraphs as fllws: Utilities Wastewater The City f Ls Angeles Department f Public Wrks and the City f Ls Angeles Bureau f Sanitatin prvide sewer cnveyance infrastructure and wastewater treatment services, respectively, t the prject site. The Hyperin Treatment Plant (HTP), lcated directly west f the Ls Angeles Internatinal Airprt in Playa del Rey, prvides treatment capacity fr all wastewater flws generated at the prject site. In December f 1998, the HTP was upgraded t prvide full secndary treatment fr all influent based n an average dry weather flw f 450 millin gallns per day (mgd). HTP currently prcesses an average wastewater flw f apprximately 360 mgd. The Hyperin Service Area (HSA) encmpasses apprximately 328,000 acres, r apprximately 515 square miles, f the greater Ls Angeles area. The HSA als serves 53,000 acres utside the jurisdictin Page III-7

The prject site is currently ccupied by the Temple Israel f Hllywd schl, sanctuary, administrative facilities, and parking facilities. The prject site is lcated in an area that is served by existing wastewater infrastructure. Wastewater infrastructure in the immediate prject vicinity cnsists f a six-inch pipe in Martel Avenue and an eightinch pipe in Hllywd Bulevard. These lines are adjacent t the bundary f the prject site. The sixinch pipe in Martel Avenue feeds int a larger ten-inch pipe als in Martel Avenue while the eight-inch pipe in Hllywd Bulevard feeds int a 12-inch line in Orange Street. Ultimately, sewage flws t the Hyperin Treatment Plant. Accrding t the City f Ls Angeles, Department f Public Wrks, Bureau f Sanitatin, the current flw level in the 8-inch pipe in Hllywd Bulevard is apprximately 100 percent which is full capacity and the current flw level fr the 10-inch pipe in Martel Avenue is apprximately 39 percent. At flw levels f 50 percent, the design capacity fr the eight-inch pipe is apprximately 229,000 gallns per day (gpd). At flw levels f 50 percent, the design capacity fr the six-inch pipe is apprximately 459,000 gpd. The existing uses n the prject site generate apprximately 3,6902,888 gallns per day (gpd) f wastewater (see Table IV.A-3). The Prpsed Prject is anticipated t generate apprximately 4,3226,037 gpd f wastewater (see Table IV.A-4). This amunt f wastewater represents an apprximately 632 3,149 gpd net increase frm the amunt f wastewater currently generated n the prject site.
