[00:05:03]
MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING 12 AFFORDABLE UNITS AT 1251 TO 3 51 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.DID WE HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM? NO, WE DID NOT.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.
I'D LIKE TO PRESENT THE REPORT AT THIS TIME.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO CONSTRUCT A 117 UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT WITH 20 AFFORDABLE UNITS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IMPERIAL HIGHWAY WEST OF EUCLID STREET.
THE PROPERTY IS ZONED R FOR MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING.
THE PROPERTY SITE IS 5.58 ACRES IN SIZE AND IS MADE UP OF TWO PARCELS.
THE SITE HAD BEEN OCCUPIED BY THE POMONA BOX COMPANY, MAC AUTO AND THE ERIC WILLS GYMNASIUM.
THE SITE IS ABUTTED BY PEPBOYS AND WALGREENS ON THE EAST SIDE, A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ON THE WEST SIDE AND A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE NORTH SIDE, THE FRONTAGE OF THE PROPERTY TOTALS 607 FEET IN LENGTH.
AN INITIAL STUDY AND DRAFT MITIGATED NEGATIVE NEGATIVE DECLARATION WAS SUPPORTING.
UH, STUDIES WERE PREPARED THAT EVALUATED THE PROJECT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.
THESE STUDIES INCLUDED A PHASE, ONE ASSESSMENT, A CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL RESOURCES REVIEW GEOTECHNICAL STUDY, HYDROLOGY STUDY, NOISE STUDY AND TRAFFIC STUDY.
BASED ON THIS ANALYSIS AND STAFF INPUT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT 10 AREAS OF THE SECRET CHECKLIST AND INPUT HAD IMPACTS THAT INCLUDE THE ITEMS LISTED HERE.
A MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM WAS PREPARED THAT WILL MITIGATE ALL OF THE IDENTIFIED ISSUES TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE IN NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS CIRCULATED FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT STARTING ON NOVEMBER 12TH, 2021 FOR THE 30 DAY REVIEWING PERIOD ENDING ON DECEMBER 13TH, 2021.
PRIOR TO THE END OF THE REVIEW PERIOD STAFF RECEIVED COMMENT LETTERS FROM THREE AGENCIES, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, GAS, CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, ALSO KNOWN AS CALTRANS IN THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT AUTHORITY.
THE COMMENTS PROVIDED WERE ALREADY COVERED IN THE ISM AND D AND DID NOT TRIGGER A REQUIRED MODIFICATION TO THE MMRP THE PROJECT AS A PROPOSED DENSITY OF 21 UNITS TO THE ACRE FOR A TOTAL OF 117 UNITS.
THE 117 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED WITHIN 21 BUILDINGS, SEVEN OTHER PROPOSED BUILDINGS WILL BE TWO STORIES AND 14 OF THE BUILDINGS WILL BE THREE STORIES.
12 OF THE UNITS WILL BE AFFORDABLE UNITS RESERVED FOR INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILIES AT THE MODERATE INCOME LEVEL, WHICH ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY AND ARE DESIGNATED BY THE ED RED ASTERIX ACCESS TO THE SITE WILL BE VIA A TWO-WAY DRIVEWAY ALONG THE IMPERIAL HIGHWAY THROUGH A GATED ENTRANCE PARKING ON THE SITE TOTALS 259 SPACES WITH EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS IN CHAPTER 18 POINT 80 AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES.
THERE ARE 10 DIFFERENT FOUR PLANS RANGING IN SIZE FROM 1,103 SQUARE FEET TO 1,803 SQUARE FEET.
40 OF THE WILL BE TWO BEDROOM UNITS.
66 WILL BE THREE BEDROOM UNITS AND THE 11 WILL BE FOUR BEDROOM UNITS.
ALL UNITS HAVE TWO CAR GARAGES, WHICH ARE EITHER SIDE BY SIDE AND SPACES OR ARRANGE TANDEM STYLE AS PERMITTED BY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES SECTION.
ADDITIONALLY, ALL UNITS WILL HAVE A SMALL STORAGE AREA OR NICHE TO STORE TRASH PINS AT THE GROUND LEVEL IN THE GARAGE.
ANY SERVICE AREA FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A WASHER AND DRYER ON AN UPPER LEVEL SHOWN ABOVE IS A PLAN FOR THE T 400 UNIT.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THE PROJECT INCORPORATES AN EARLY CALIFORNIA STYLE, WHICH IS TYPICAL OF MISSION OR SPANISH STYLE.
THE ELEVATIONS EMPLOY VARIOUS TREATMENTS THAT INCLUDE EAVES, BALCONIES EXPOSED, RAFTER TAILS WROUGHT IRON ACCENTS, METAL POT SHELVES, ENHANCE WINDOW TREATMENTS, AWNINGS AND PLASTER BANDING.
THE SIX BUILDINGS ALONG IMPERIAL HIGHWAY ARE ORIENTED.
SO THEIR FRONT DOORS OF THE END UNITS FACE TOWARDS
[00:10:01]
THE STREET OR ENGAGE THE STREET.THE EIGHT UNITS ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AS MOSTLY TWO STORY BUILDINGS TO RESPECT THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT AND NOT LOOM OVER THE SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH.
A CROSS SECTION WAS PROVIDED OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE, SHOWING HOW THE PROJECT WILL RELATE TO THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES.
THE EXTERIOR WALL TREATMENTS INCLUDE WHITE AND LIGHT COLORS, EARTH TONE, STUCCO FINISH ADOBE BRICK, THIN AIR ACCENT COLORS ON DOORS AND SHUTTERS THAT INCLUDE DARK GREENS, DARK BLUES, GRAYS AND BLACKS GARAGE DOORS ARE DECORATIVE ROLL-UP TYPES THAT WILL BE PAINTED DARK BROWN COLORS.
THE ROOFING MATERIALS WOULD CONSIST OF CONCRETE TILE THAT EMULATE WOOD SHAKE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IS ONE OF THE COLOR SCHEMES THAT WILL BE UTILIZED.
THERE ARE SIX SCHEMES THAT ARE PROPOSED, WHICH ARE ALL FAIRLY SIMILAR IN COMPLIMENTARY.
A TOTAL OF 30,856 SQUARE FEET OF LAND AREA WILL BE DEVOTED TO OPEN SPACE, WHICH INCLUDES LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SITES, PERIMETER COMMON AREAS AND PRIVATE YARD AREAS.
THE COMMON OPEN SPACE INCLUDES SIX COURTYARDS WITH A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 17,900 SQUARE FEET.
THE COMMON OPEN SPACE WILL BE FIT.
EXCUSE ME, WILL BE OUTFITTED WITH PICNIC BENCHES, BARBECUES, GAZEBOS, FIRE PITS, AND OPEN LAWN AREAS.
PRIVATE YARDS, WHICH CONSISTS OF BALCONIES AND PATIOS WILL TOTAL APPROXIMATELY 12,800 SQUARE FEET.
PUBLIC ART MILL, PROBABLY ART ELEMENTS WILL BE PLACED ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIMETER WALL FACING IMPERIAL HIGHWAY WITH INSETS THAT FEATURE THREE METAL PANELS WITH LASER CUT DESIGNS.
THE DESIGNS ON THESE PANELS PLAYS ON THE NAME OF THE PROJECT VISTA WALK, WHICH EMULATE THE SKYLINE OF THE ADJACENT HILLS AND MOUNTAINS.
THE THREE PANELS TO PICK DIFFERENT PHASES OF NIGHTTIME MOONRISE, STARRY SKY IN SUNRISE, THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS SHUT.
SHE HAS THE STARS AND MOONS WILL BE BACKLIT WHEREBY THEY WILL BE VISIBLE AT NIGHT.
THE PROJECT SITE IS CURRENTLY MADE UP OF TWO SEPARATE LEGAL PARCELS.
THESE PARCELS WILL BE COMBINED AND SUBDIVIDED FOR CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES TO PERMIT 117 TOWNHOMES AND ADJOINING COMMON AREAS VIA TENTATIVE TRACK MAP 1 9 1 4 3.
THE PAP IS THAT THE MAP IS NOT FINAL AT PLANNING COMMISSION AND MUST GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMITS, BEING ISSUED, THE PROPOSED PROJECT INCORPORATES AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENT AND IS THEREFORE ELIGIBLE TO UTILIZE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
CAN D UH, CONCESSIONS AS PERMITTED IN CHAPTER 18.80 AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES, DEVELOPERS ARE GRANTED CONCESSIONS OR PERMITTED DEVIATIONS FROM A DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
THE AMOUNT OF CONCESSIONS IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT ARE RESTRICTED TO VERY LOW, LOW, OR MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES.
IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRICTION OF 10% OF THE UNITS AT THE MODERATE LEVEL GRANTS, THE APPLICANT ONE CONCESSION THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED AS THEIR CONCESSION TO PLACE A SIX FOOT TALL WALL WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK AREA.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT REDUCED PARKING STANDARDS AS WELL AS TANDEM PARKING SPACES ARE GRANTED BY RIGHT AS PER THE LAHABRA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 18.80 AND SB 1818, AND ARE NOT CONSIDERED CONCESSION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, COMMISSIONER AND EXPERIAN.
LET ME ASK YOU THOUGH, CHRIS, WITH REGARD TO THE, UM, PARKING SITUATION, WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST, OF COURSE, WHERE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN UNDER PARKED.
AND I KNOW OF COURSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE GETTING A CONCESSION WITH REGARD TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES.
SO AM I CORRECT IN READING THAT THEY HAVE 23 GUEST SPACES THAT IS CORRECT? IS IT IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATION THAT THE GUEST PARKING AND THE OVERALL PARKING FOR RESIDENTS IS SATISFACTORY? AND JUST IN TERMS OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL OPINION, YOU THINK THAT WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE? IT MAKES SENSE.
THE, UM, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL REQUIRE THAT CCNRS HAVE LIMITATIONS ON
[00:15:01]
THOSE GUESTS PARKING SPACES.SO THE TENANTS OR THE CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO UTILIZE THEIR TWO PARKING SPACES WHEN THEIR GARAGES AND ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO UTILIZE THOSE GUESTS PARKING SPACES.
UM, THE CCNRS BASICALLY ARE, ARE REGULATED BY THE HOA.
SO THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THOSE GUESTS SPACES ARE UTILIZED AS GUEST SPACES THAT ARE NOT UTILIZED BY THE CONDOMINIUM OWNERS.
UM, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCE SHOWS THAT SOMETIMES THE OWNERS SLIP A LITTLE BIT AND THEY'LL PARK THEY'LL PARK IN THOSE SPACES, BUT THE HOA IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THOSE SPACES ARE NOT USED BY THE, THE CONDO.
AND THOSE ON THE AISLE, SO TO SPEAK ARE CONSIDERED FIRE LANE.
SO THERE'S NO WAY ANYBODY CAN EVER PARK IN FRONT OF ONE OF THESE UNITS, I GUESS, CERTAIN TEMPORARILY, JUST LIKE A RED, NO PARKING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMPLEX, CORRECT? CORRECT, SIR.
SO, UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS PLACED CONDITIONS THAT ALL THOSE DRIVE AISLES BE STRIPED AS FIRE LANES WITH SIGNAGE AND APPROPRIATE INDICATION THAT THEY ARE SUCH TO INCLUDE BEING PLACED IN THE CCNRS.
I WAS CURIOUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MEGA NEGATIVE DECK, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS COVERED EXCEPT THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT IS LIKELY TO BE, IT WILL IS LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT.
THERE'S BEEN THAT DETERMINATION, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY THAT WASN'T QUANTIFIED IN SOME WAY.
IN OTHER WORDS, I THINK OTTA SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING A LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS AND EVIDENTLY THAT WASN'T DONE, I PRESUME BECAUSE IT'S LESS INSIGNIFICANT, BUT NONETHELESS, I WONDER IF YOU, OR EVEN MR. PLOTNICK HAS A, SOME KIND OF FEELING FOR WHAT I UNDERSTAND, I'LL SAY THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S LESS THAN 50 CAR TRIPS A DAY RELATED TO THIS PROJECT, WHICH SEEMS EXTREMELY MINIMAL, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GO ON RECORD AS ASKING THAT QUESTION.
CAUSE THAT'S A HUGE CONCERN FOR FOLKS IN THIS COMMUNITY.
I WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THE CHAIR.
UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, MY NAME IS MICHAEL .
I'M THE TRAFFIC MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF LA HABRA AND TO ANSWER COMMISSIONER AND EXPERIENCE QUESTION.
SO THE PROJECT ACTUALLY IS PROPOSING 856 DAILY TRIPS.
BUT WHAT WE LOOK AT FOR THE IMPACT IS THE PM PEAK HOUR.
SO IT'S SHOWING THAT IT'S LESS THAN WHAT THE SITE WAS CURRENTLY GENERATING.
UH, BUT AS FAR AS LEVEL OF SERVICE GOES, IT'S NO LONGER PART OF AND THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
SO WE CAN'T LOOK AT IT, BUT IF WE'RE HAVING MORE THAN 40 PM PEAK HOUR TRIPS, THEN WE CAN REQUIRE THE APPLICANT TO GIVE US A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE LEVEL OF SERVICE, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS PRODUCING LESS TRIPS, IT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT IT.
ONLY ONE FINAL THING IS I JUST WANT TO DRAW THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CONCESSIONS THAT ARE MADE WITH REGARD TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO COMPONENTS TO THIS THERE'S THERE'S THE, THE, THE BUY-RITE CONCESSIONS THAT THEY GET, OR, UH, FOR GIVING US 10% AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THEY GET THE SIX FOOT WALL, BUT THEN WHICH THEY ARE NOT, UH, THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE, BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THAT LAW TOOK EFFECT, WHICH WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY REQUIRED 18 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO DIFFERENT COMPONENTS THAT AFFECT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRITERIA.
THERE'S THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE, WHICH DOESN'T APPLY IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE BECAUSE IT SLIPPED IN UNDER THE WIRE AND THEN THERE'S A ACTUAL STATE DENSITY BONUS ALLOWANCES THAT PERMIT THEM TO DO CERTAIN THINGS IF THEY GIVE US A CERTAIN NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS.
I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
I HAVE A QUESTION ACTUALLY, UH, KIND OF CONTINUING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER IN THIS AREA WAS ASKING ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE UNITS MOVING FORWARD.
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS? I KNOW THERE WERE NOT, THEY'RE TECHNICALLY NOT UNDER THE ORDINANCE, BUT THIS IS KIND OF VOLUNTARY.
LIKE WILL THE HOUSING DIVISION TAKE OVER AS FAR AS THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE AFFORDABLE UNIT? SO WHAT'S REQUIRED IS A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT WILL BE FILED AGAINST EACH OF THE AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED ON THEIR PLAN.
AND, UM, ULTIMATELY WORKING WITH, UH, WITH OUR HOUSING MANAGER TO, UH, UM, DO THAT PAPERWORK.
AND THERE'S A RESTRICTION THAT, THAT UNIT BE MAINTAINED AT THE AFFORDABLE LEVEL FOR, I BELIEVE IT'S 50 YEARS AND THAT IF IT'S EVER SOLD IN, IT HAS TO BE SOLD AT THE AFFORDABLE LEVEL.
THEY CAN'T JACK UP THE PRICE AND SELL IT FOR MARKET RATE.
SO ONCE, UM, A UNIT WHERE TO SELL AND TRANSFER, DOES THE CITY AT THAT POINT AND VERIFY, OR WHO WOULD BE IT? MAYBE IT WOULD BE, UM,
[00:20:01]
YEAH, THE, THE RESEARCH OF CABINET WOULD BE FILED WITH THE COUNTY AND THEN WHENEVER SOMEBODY DOES A SALE THAT WILL BE PULLED UP, THAT DOCUMENT WILL BE PULLED UP, UM, AS PART OF THE SALE, UM, WHEN THEY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.SO WOULD IT BE LIKE ESCROW OR LIKE, OR WOULD IT BE OUR HOUSING DIVISION OR WHO WOULD LIKE, I GUESS VERIFY THE REST CRO THAT WOULD SHOW UP IN THE TITLE SEARCH.
SO IT WOULD JUST BE A RESTRICTION ON THAT PROPERTY.
UH, COMMISSIONER ROSS AS A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.
UM, SO YOU WERE MENTIONING THAT THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS WOULD BE IN THE ESCROW, BUT IN ESSENCE, I THINK EVEN MY QUESTION IS WHO'S REALLY TRULY THE GATEKEEPER, AS IN DO THESE PEOPLE APPLY THROUGH THE CITY AND THE CITY IS MAKE ENSURING THAT THOSE UNITS ARE FULFILLED BY AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR DO THEY APPLY THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE SELLER? SO I GUESS THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S THE SAME CONCERN HE HAS IS WHO'S REALLY, AT LEAST AT THE INITIAL PURCHASERS SELLING OF THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS, WHO'S ACTUALLY REALLY ENSURING THAT THEY ARE BEING SOLD THAT WAY.
WILL THE CITY GO BACK AND VERIFY? I MEAN, IT ONLY COMES UP DURING THE SALES AND A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL GET CALLS FROM THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS THAT, HEY, WE PULLED UP THIS DOCUMENT AND, UM, THEY'LL ASK US FOR, UM, GUIDANCE ON IT.
AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW THE LEGAL TERMS THAT ARE USED INSIDE THE DOCUMENT, BUT IT'LL SAY THAT THE PRO UH, PROPERTY CAN ONLY BE SOLD AT THE AFFORDABLE LEVEL, WHATEVER THAT IS.
IT HAS THAT, THAT HAS, UH, THAT, THAT, THAT VERBIAGE IN IT THAT SAYS IT CAN'T BE SOLD AT MARKET RATE.
AND IF WE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE THAT QUESTION, WE'LL REFER THEM TO THE HOUSING MANAGER WHO CAN TRANSLATE INTO CHEN TRANSLATE THAT IN ENGLISH FOR THEM, I GUESS, JUST TO FOLLOW UP ONLY CAUSE I KNOW SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES HAVE ACTUAL LISTS WERE, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS IN ESSENCE APPLY THROUGH THE CITY.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS ONGOING LIST OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN AFFORDABLE UNITS.
SO ANYTIME AFFORDABLE UNITS COME UP, THE RESIDENTS ARE ALREADY ON THE LIST.
CAUSE USUALLY THEY'RE VERY COMPETITIVE.
UM, SO I GUESS I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE CITY IS LOOKING INTO MAYBE CREATING SOME SORT OF PROCESS IN THAT REGARD TO KIND OF HELP OUR RESIDENTS AND ENSURE THAT IT'S OUR RESIDENTS GETTING THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS OR AT LEAST TO HAVE SOME SORT OF PRIORITY USE OVER, MAYBE SOMEBODY COMING FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTY, EVEN, UM, JUST ENSURING THAT OUR RESIDENTS REALLY DO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS.
BERMUDEZ, MAY I RESPOND TO THAT? YEP.
UM, YOU KNOW, BEING NEW HERE, I DON'T KNOW ALL THE RULES, BUT WE'D BE HAPPY TO COME BACK AND REPORT BACK TO YOU ON THE WAY THAT THIS WORKS WITHIN OUR DEPARTMENT AND HOW THIS USUALLY WORKS FOR THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ALL THE DETAILS AND I'D RATHER HAVE OUR HOUSING MANAGER HERE TO DESCRIBE THE PROCESS TO YOU, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AT A FUTURE MEETING IF YEAH, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE ORDINANCE DID KIND OF SLIGHTLY CHANGE WHEN IT GOT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
SO JUST KIND OF GOING FROM THAT POINT FORWARD AND THEN, UM, LIKE COMMISSIONER ROJAS STATED KIND OF SEEING THE OVERALL VISION OF THE ORDINANCE ITSELF AND MAKING SURE THAT THE AFFORDABLE UNITS STAY WITHIN LAHABRA AND SO FORTH.
UM, WAS THAT FOR QUESTIONS? SORRY.
WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
MY NAME IS DORIS WINN AND I'M WITH THE OLSON COMPANY AND IN MY CARD IS ALREADY, UM, WITH THE SECRETARY THERE.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WERE ABLE TO ATTEND.
I DO ALSO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK STAFF.
UM, THEY'VE BEEN SO GREAT TO WORK WITH AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THEIR EFFORT AND HARD WORK.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THEM AT THE HEARING.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE AT THIS THIRD PROJECT HERE IN THE CITY OF LA HABRA FOR THE OLSON COMPANY AND AT THE OLSON COMPANY.
WE SPECIALIZE IN INFILL HOUSING AND WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND WE HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE FOCUS.
SO THAT'S SHOWN IN OUR ALLIANCE AWARDS WHERE WE ARE FIRST PLACE, RIGHT IN A NATIONWIDE SURVEY.
AND ALLIANT IS SIMILAR TO JD POWERS, UH, FOR HOME BUILDING AND ALLSTON IS RANKED NUMBER ONE IN OVERALL, A HOME BUYER AND PURCHASE AND OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE SUPERBOWL OF AWARDS AND THAT IS NATIONWIDE OVER PRIVATE AND PUBLIC HOME BUILDERS.
WE THINK THIS IS DUE IN PART TO OUR CHAMPION PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE AN ALSTON ASSOCIATE ATTEND THE HOA BOARD MEETINGS ONCE A QUARTER.
AND THAT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITE,
[00:25:01]
MAKE SURE IT'S BEING MAINTAINED.AND THEN, UH, TO ENSURE THAT THE HOA IS, UH, TAKING CARE OF THE BUILDINGS, TAKING CARE OF THE ASPHALT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, UH, WE DO THAT IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE WE SELL TO A LOT OF FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS, UH, THAT MAY NOT HAVE LIVED IN AN HOA AND MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO REGULATE THE RULES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE HELP THEM THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND WE FIND THAT IT HELPS TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY VALUES.
SO I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK STAFF AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
AND THEN ALSO, UM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE REGARDING THE PROJECT.
I, AS WELL AS JOHN REXTON SENIOR VP AT OLSON AND, UM, OUR DEVELOPMENT STAFF ARE HERE FOR YOU.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APP? THANK YOU.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IT LOOKS LIKE VISTA WALK IS A BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED PROJECT.
I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THE, UH, THE EFFORTS YOU MADE IN SHIELDING THE, THE, THE LOOMING PRESENCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT FROM THE NEIGHBORS DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH.
I LIKED THAT GRADIENT WHERE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN IMPOSITION ON THOSE FOLKS WHO WERE THERE FIRST.
SO THAT'S A GREAT JOB WITH THAT.
I THINK THE ONLY THING, AND THIS IS, THIS IS IT'S NOT A COMPLAINT OR A CRITICISM.
THE ONLY THING THAT RANKLES, AND AGAIN, NOT OLSEN OR NOT THE APPLICANT, I THINK MAYBE US MAYBE IT'LL BE CITY COUNCIL'S EFFECT.
AS I ALLUDED TO THIS PROJECT SLID IN RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE INCLUSIVE HOUSING ORDINANCE.
SO OBVIOUSLY IT HADN'T BEEN DELAYED BY FIVE WEEKS OR SO.
WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OUT OF THIS.
I MEAN, I THINK IT'S, WE'RE LOOKING AT 12 AS OPPOSED TO 18.
SO AS YOU KNOW, OUR RENA NUMBERS ARE A HUGE THING.
WE DON'T LIKE HAVING TO ADOPT THAT BURDEN, BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
WE'VE GOT THESE 800 HOMES MORE OR LESS.
WE HAVE TO BUILD THEM THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS.
AND IT'S ALWAYS EASIER TO BUILD ABOVE MODERATE HOUSING THAN IT IS MODERATE OR BELOW MODERATE.
SO IT W IT WOULD BE EVERY MODERATE HOUSING UNIT WE GET AS A BOON TO THE CITY.
SO I'M GOING TO TOSS THIS OUT THERE BECAUSE IT'S A HAIL MARY THAT I DON'T EVEN EXPECT YOU NECESSARILY TO RESPOND TO, BUT I JUST WANT TO GO PUBLIC WITH IT.
CAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING AND MAYBE YOUR VICE PRES MIGHT WANT TO COMMENT.
IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF GETTING FROM YOU A FURTHER CONCESSION IN THE SENSE OF UPPING THE ACTUAL TOTAL NUMBER OF MODERATE FROM SOMETHING OVER 12 AND MAYBE CLOSER TO 18, BECAUSE I KNOW IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, YOU'D HAVE A, NOT THAT YOU WON'T HAVE A HAPPY CITY COUNCIL, BUT YOU'D HAVE A HAPPIER CITY COUNCIL AND PROBABLY A HAPPIER PLANNING COMMISSION, MAYBE A HAPPIER STAFF, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE NOT, BUT, SO I'M JUST GOING TO TOSS THIS OUT TO YOU AND YOU CAN RESPOND NOW OR LATER, IT'S YOUR DECISION? UM, WE DID, WE DID APPLY IN JANUARY AND THE ORDINANCE DID GET APPROVED IN JULY.
SO THERE IS ABOUT A SIX MONTH GAP IN THERE.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE TIMING WORKED OUT THAT WAY, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TIED UP THE DEAL, WE WENT THROUGH DUE DILIGENCE AND WE FILED THE APPLICATION.
UM, YEAH, IT THAT'S JUST HOW THE TIMING WORKED OUT AND, UM, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT 10%, BUT THAT IS HOW THE DEAL WORKS AT THIS TIME.
I'LL ALSO, UM, AS DORIS ALLUDED TO THE, UH, UH, DEAL POINTS WITH THE LAND SELLER AND THE FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, WERE BASED ON A CERTAIN LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY.
AND, UH, THEN THAT PLAYS A BIG PART IN THAT, IN THIS ALSO, UH, THAT ADDITIONAL AFFORDABILITY WOULD HAVE HAD A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON JUST THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD FINANCIALLY.
UM, WHILE THE MARKET HAS CONTINUED TO TICK UP, UH, LUMBER PRICES HAVE GONE UP, THEY FLUCTUATED, UH, AND IN MANY OTHER INSTANCES COSTS HAVE GONE UP PRECIPITOUSLY.
SO WE'RE JUST NOT IN A POSITION TO OFFER ADDITIONAL, UH, AFFORDABILITY.
THE ONLY THING WE COULD DO POTENTIALLY IS, UH, IF THERE'S AN EQUIVALENT FINANCIAL IMPACT, LOOK AT, UH, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY INSTEAD OF 10 MODERATE OR 12 MODERATE INCOME UNITS, IF THERE'S A WAY TO PROVIDE ONE OR TWO LOW-INCOME UNITS, IT'S GOING TO MEAN LESS THAN 12 OVERALL BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT OF A LOW-INCOME UNIT, FOR INSTANCE.
BUT IF WE COULD KEEP, KEEP AN EQUIVALENT FINANCIAL IMPACT, WE COULD ALSO ENTERTAIN A DIFFERENT MIX OF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
IT MAY BE EIGHT UNITS TOTAL OR NINE WITH A LOW-INCOME UNIT.
SO, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD ALWAYS WORK WITH THE STAFF ON POTENTIALLY, UH, IF, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, THE COUNCIL ULTIMATELY WANTED TO DO.
AND WE EVEN HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS, BUT WE, WE JUST CAN'T ADD ADDITIONAL UNITS ON THE 12TH MODERN COMMUNITY.
IT'S A, IT'S A, AS I SAY, A PUBLIC QUESTION AND YOU GIVE ME A PUBLIC ANSWER AND TO WHAT EXTENT COUNSEL WANTS TO THINK ABOUT THIS FURTHER, THAT'S UP TO THEM, BUT I'M JUST TOSSING IT OUT THERE, RUNNING IT UP THE FLAG POLE, SO TO SPEAK, TO SEE IF ANYBODY SALUTES AT THIS POINT AND THEN SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE.
SO, UM, THE ONLY FINAL THING I'D ASK, IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF INTEGRATING ANY LAHABRA, UH, ANY OF THE LABOR WORKFORCE IN THIS PROJECT AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, OR CAN IMAGINE, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THE, THE LABOR WORKFORCE YOU MEAN? YES.
SO WHAT WE DO A LOT OF TIMES IS WE DO DEFINITELY LOOK FOR LOCAL LABOR WORKFORCE.
IT IS ALWAYS MUCH EASIER TO GET TOOLS AND SUPPLIES AND
[00:30:01]
EVERYTHING FROM THE LOCAL AREA.WE DO LIKE TO SUPPORT DEFINITELY THE CITIES THAT WE WORK IN.
SO AT ALL TIMES WE DO TRY AND DEFINITELY LOOK FOR EITHER LOCAL WORKFORCE OR ALSO BUYING MATERIALS LOCALLY.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE COMMISSIONER.
I DEFINITELY ECHO, UH, COMMISSIONER , UH, COMMENTS REGARDING THE MIXED INCOME MAYBE.
UM, AND MAYBE THAT'S A DISCUSSION THAT YOU GUYS CAN HAVE WITH STAFF.
UM, I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS WHO PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE THE CHANCE TO OWN A HOME OTHERWISE.
UM, I ALSO, UM, ECHO HIS FEELINGS REGARDING THE, WHAT YOU DID ON THE NORTH SIDE.
WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT, I WAS LIKE, MM, THEY NEED A LOT MORE TREES BACK THERE.
UM, BUT THEN ONCE I LOOKED FURTHER, I REALIZED WHAT YOU DID WITH THAT, THAT, THAT WAS, THAT WAS GREAT.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE AN AMAZING PROJECT.
UM, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW WERE THE AFFORDABLE UNITS CHOSEN? LIKE THE LOCATION OF THEM, YOU KNOW, UM, THEY'RE ACTUALLY A SPECIFIC SIZE, A SPECIFIC TYPE THAT WE KNOW THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, A MODERATE INCOME WOULD LOOK FOR.
AND SO IT'S JUST THE WAY THAT THE BUILDING BLOCKS THAT'S SITUATED ON SITE.
AND THAT'S REALLY JUST HOW GOT IT.
AND JUST ANOTHER QUESTION IS WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE PRICE RANGE FOR THESE UNITS, YOU KNOW, UM, THEY'LL PROBABLY START, UM, IN THE 600 THOUSANDS, UM, AND GO UP FROM THERE.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UH, BOTH COMMISSIONERS HAVING A GREAT COMMENTS, DEFINITELY THE PORTABILITY.
I APPRECIATE, UH, COMMISSIONER AND EXPERIAN GIVING A PUSH FOR THAT.
UH, MY QUESTION IS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE CONCESSION, AS FAR AS THE SIX FOOT WALL, UM, AND ESSENCE THAT TURNS THE PROJECT INTO A GATED COMMUNITY, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WAS THERE A REASON FOR IT TO BE GATED, UM, VERSUS IT JUST BEING KIND OF OPEN AND BEING MORE, UM, HAVING THE PROJECT SPACING, UM, IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.
YOU KNOW, A PART OF IT IS THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE ON THE SITE.
SO THERE IS A GREAT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND THEN FROM WEST TO EAST.
SO BECAUSE OF THAT GRADE DIFFERENCE, WE HAD TO HAVE A WALL.
AND THAT'S IT FOR QUESTIONS ON MY END.
ANYTHING ELSE? YOU GUYS? OKAY.
UM, ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE PROJECT TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT? OKAY.
NOW WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
UH, CHAIR, COMMISSIONER, UH, MY NAME JOHN SHAY, I'M CURRENT OF, UH, ONE OF THE OWNER ON THE KING DRIVE.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR US TO, HOW SHOULD I PUT IT THIS WAY TOO, AGAINST THE PROGRESS? OKAY.
HOWEVER, ALL THE PROPOSAL AND THE DOCUMENT IS TRY TO, UH, HOW SHOULD I SAY THAT OBSCURED AND TRY TO LIGHTEN THE ISSUE OF A NORTHERN SLOPE.
THAT'S LOW, ACCORDING TO THEIR GEOLOGISTS, THEY MENTIONED ABOUT IT.
THERE'S A 25 FOOT DIFFERENT ON THAT 1 25 FOOT FOOT.
THAT IS, UH, ALMOST ABOUT A TWO-STORY HEIGHT.
AND THEN CURRENTLY OF COURSE, IF THEY, UH, BUILD ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT PARA PARA METER, THAT WILL PROBABLY BE, NOT BE A BIG ISSUE, BUT HOWEVER, WITH A SIX FOOT WALL AND USUALLY BY SIX BY A TWO, A ONE BY TWO.
SO THERE MUST BE AN EXCAVATION ABOUT, UH, ABOUT A THREE FOOT DOWN FOR THE BASE.
AND THEN JUST THAT KIND OF A SLOPE IT'S KIND OF CONCERNED.
OF COURSE YOU DO HAVE NOTED A HERE, SAY, DOES A GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION BE CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OF A GRADING PERMIT, MITIGATION NATURE? THAT IS, WE ARE, I AM APPRECIATED ON THAT ONE, BUT I HAVE TO RAISE THAT ISSUE BECAUSE OF THAT SLOPE.
AND ACCORDING TO OTHER PROPOSAL, THE SLOPE WAS THE KIND OF A, HOW SHOULD I SAY THAT? JUST A CARRY OVER WITHOUT ENOUGH KIND OF IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS AS TO THE NOISES OR ENVIRONMENT, THIS KIND OF A CONCERN.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY.
