This Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) is intended
to assess the probable impacts of the redevelopment of an area undergoing a
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. The General Plan Amendment and Zone Change
request was initiated by the owners of the property located at 19601 Nordhoff
Street, Los Angeles, California. A subsequent area with similar zoning and
General Plan designation was requested to be reviewed by the City of Los
Angeles Department of City Planning. These areas are referred to as the Project
Site and Add Area, respectively. The Project Site includes approximately 35.5
acres located at the northeast corner of Nordhoff Street and Corbin Avenue. The
Add Area includes of approximately fifteen parcels, totaling approximately
fifteen acres, located to the north of the Project Site across Prairie Street,
between Corbin Avenue and Shirley Avenue.
Project Site
The Project at the Project Site consists of a Zone Change from MR2-1, [T][Q]M1-1, and P-1 to C2-1 and a General Plan Amendment from Light Manufacturing to Community Commercial to facilitate the redevelopment of an antiquated industrial building at the Project Site (CPC 2002-7295-PPR-BL). A specific development scenario for the Project Site is not known at this time. However, for environmental analysis and planning purposes, four potential development scenarios have been identified to demonstrate the range of development options for the Project Site. Based on development patterns in the northern San Fernando Valley, the potential development scenarios for the Project Site are as follows:
|
Scenario 1: Retail 340,000 square feet Retail 389 Senior Housing units 35 Assisted Living units |
Scenario 2: Office 930,000 square feet Office 389 Senior Housing units 35 Assisted Living units |
|
Scenario 3: Retail/Residential 250,000 square feet Retail 300 Condominium units 389 Senior Housing units 35 Assisted Living units |
Scenario 4: Office/Residential 690,000 square feet Office 300 Condominium units 389 Senior Housing units 35 Assisted Living units |
The previously entitled retirement facility is assumed under
each of the potential development scenarios for the Project Site. The Retirement
facility consists of approximately 389 independent senior housing units and 35
assisted living units within a 588,000 square development.1 This
facility is proposed to be located on an approximately eight acre parcel
located at the southeast corner of Corbin Avenue and Prairie Street.
Add Area
The development scenarios analyzed for the Add Area include a Zone Change from MR2-1 and P-1 to C2-1 and a General Plan Amendment from Light Manufacturing to Community Commercial to coincide with the Zone Change and General Plan Amendment requested at the Project Site. A specific development scenario for the Add Area is not known at this time. For environmental analysis and planning purposes, four potential development scenarios have been identified to demonstrate the range of development options for the Add Area properties. Based on development patterns in the northern San Fernando Valley, the potential development scenarios for the Add Area are as follows:
|
Scenario 1: Retail 200,000 square feet Retail |
Scenario 2: Office 586,000 square feet Office |
|
Scenario 3: Retail/Residential 150,000 square feet Retail 100 Condominium units |
Scenario 4: Office/Residential 435,000 square feet Office 100 Condominium units |
1The
Homeplace Retirement Community included 389 senior housing units and 35
assisted living units at the time the EIR was prepared. However, the revised
application for the Homeplace facility included 390 senior housing units and 35
assisted living units, within a 505,000 square feet development.
