6. PUBLIC HEARINGS - 8:00 P.M.
A. PUBLIC HEARING: APPROVAL OF LINCOLN AVENUE DESIGN, LAND
USE, AND MARKET STUDY
Recommendation of Acting City Manager: It is recommended that the
City Council:
Environmental Determination:
(1) Affirm the conclusions of the initial environmental study that
implementation of the recommendations in the Lincoln Avenue Design, Land
Use, and Market Study will not create any significant adverse effects on the
environment;
(2) Adopt a Negative Declaration for the planning study; and
(3) Request the staff to file a Notice of Determination with the Los
Angeles County Clerk.
Findings:
(1) Find that the planning study for the Lincoln Avenue corridor is
consistent with the objectives and policies of the Revised Northwest
Community Plan (1993), notably the urban design goals in the environmental
quality section which propose a "sense of place and neighborhood identity,"
design standards, and streetscape improvements; and the economic
development section, which proposes a facade improvement program;
(2) Find that the study is consistent with the Comprehensive General
Plan, notably Policies 5.4 and 5.7 of the Land Use Element (Neighborhood
Character and Identity) "Urban design programs, including principles and
guidelines, shall recognize, maintain and enhance the character and identity
of existing residential and commercial neighborhoods"; and (enhanced
environment) "Development should be shaped to improve the environment for
the public; it should support the distinctiveness of the locality and region as
well as the special characteristics of the existing fabric of the site's immediate
surroundings";
(3) Find that the recommendations in the report implement two
strategies proposed in the Land Use Element of the General Plan for Lincoln
Avenue: completing a new planning study for the corridor and extending
design guidelines for redevelopment sites to all of the CG-1 zoning district
along the Lincoln Avenue corridor; and
(4) Acknowledge that the recommendations in the report update
design guidelines, public improvements, and land use policies from the
previous planning study for the area, Lincoln Corridor: Past, Present, and
Future (1984).
Actions:
(1) Approve the recommendations, conclusions, and implementation
items in the planning study (June 18, 1997, RAW International), as revised by
the Lincoln Avenue Steering Committee (revisions dated March 2, 1998);
(2) Adopt by Resolution the design guidelines for the Lincoln Avenue
corridor;
(3) Direct the Acting City Manager to return to Council within six
months with a progress report on implementation and funding of the
recommendations in the planning study; and
(4) Acknowledge that the recommendations in the report update
design guidelines, public improvements, and land use policies from the
previous planning study for the area, Lincoln Corridor: Past, Present, and
Future (1984).
Recommendations from Advisory Committees and Commissions:
The Planning Commission, Design Commission, and Northwest Commission
recommend that the City Council approve the Acting City Manager's
recommendation with the following provisos:
Planning Commission:
(1) Implementation of the planning study should involve formation of a
business improvement district or a business association on Lincoln Avenue;
[STAFF RESPONSE: Business association is desirable to promote facade
and landscaping improvements. Businesses should organize themselves into
an association or organize one with assistance from Enterprise Zone
Manager]
(2) Specific priorities for implementing the study should be presented
to the City Council and keyed to a time line; [STAFF RESPONSE: Will return
in six months with funding and scheduling information]; and
(3) The City Council should encourage the School District to redesign
and open the front yard and street-facing building elevations of Muir High
School. [STAFF RESPONSE: Redesign is proposed in the study; we will
communicate recommendation to the School District and to the principal],
Northwest Commission:
(1) Market Study should not be a final plan. [STAFF RESPONSE:
Market study is not a plan. We can revisit conclusions of market study in 3-5
years to update information]
(2) Rose Bowl Operating Company identify $250,000 from the Rose
Bowl Mitigation Fund for the implementation of the Market Study. [STAFF
RESPONSE: We will forward this recommendation to the Rose Bowl
Operating Company]
(3) Establish a Lincoln Corridor Specific Plan. [STAFF RESPONSE:
We disagree because 1984 'revitalization plan' has already accomplished
most of what could occur with a specific plan, and specific plans are designed
for areas where the General Plan targets growth. Lincoln Ave. is not one of
these areas].
(4) Establish a neighborhood organization to oversee the
implementation of the Plan. [STAFF RESPONSE: Neighborhood
Connections could work with the neighborhood to organize an
implementation group]
Design Commission:
(1) Annual funding for the City's facade improvement programs should
be increased so that much-needed changes to several businesses and
corner lots on Lincoln Avenue may occur within a short period of time.
[STAFF RESPONSE: Staff will review funding for all facade improvement
programs in the City]; and
(2) Students from Muir High School should participate in activities to
improve the landscaping and building facades of businesses along the
corridor to promote a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for
improving the area. [STAFF RESPONSE: We will communicate to School
District and principal. Cultural Planning may have a role in involving students
in a community arts project].
