FINDINGS (Amended by the South Valley Aea Planning Commission on Decembe 13, 2018) Geneal Plan/Chate Findings (Chate Sec. 556, 558) The poposed zone change is in substantial confomance with the puposes, intent, and povisions of the Geneal Plan and is in confomity with public necessity, convenience, geneal welfae and good zoning pactice. The City of Los Angeles Geneal Plan consists of the Famewok Element, seven equied Elements that ae mandated by State law, including Land Use, Mobility, Housing, Consevation, Noise, Safety, and Open Space, and optional Elements including Ai Quality, Sevice Systems, and Plan fo a Healthy Los Angeles. Thity-five individual community plans compise the Land Use Element fo the City of Los Angeles. This section povides elevant goals, objectives, policies, and pogams that ae established in the Geneal Plan that fom the basis fo staff s ecommended actions fo the poposed poject. 1. Geneal Plan Land Use Designation. The subject popety is located on Roscoe Boulevad in the Reseda - West Van Nuys Community Plan, which was adopted by the City Council on Novembe 17, 1999. The Plan designated the subject popety fo two (2) Geneal Plan Land Use designations on site. The Low Medium I Residential land use allows fo the following zones: R2, RD3, RD4, RZ3, RZ4, RU, and RW1. The Low Residential land use allows fo the following coesponding zones: RE9, RS, R1, RU, RD6, and RD5. The subject site is cuently zoned RA-1. The applicant is seeking to change the zone of the subject popety to RD5-1 in the Low Residential Geneal Plan Land Use designation and RD3-1 in the Low Medium I Residential Geneal Plan Land Use designation, which is consistent with the coesponding zones. The RA zone cuently on site is not one of the designated zones fo eithe of the existing Geneal Plan Land Use designations. The applicant is also equesting the emoval of the 25-foot building line along Roscoe Boulevad. The poposed zone, height, and equested density is consistent with the poject site s Geneal Plan Land Use Designation. 2. Geneal Plan Text. The Reseda - West Van Nuys Community Plan sets foth planning puposes, objectives, and policies fo land uses within its boundaies. The Community Plan s stated puposes ae to pomote an aangement of land uses, steets, and sevices which will encouage and contibute to the economic, social and physical health, safety, welfae, and convenience of the people who live and wok in the community. The poposed poject would be in confomance with the following objectives, and policies of the Reseda - West Van Nuys Community Plan: GOAL 1: A safe, secue, and high quality esidential envionment fo all economic, age, and ethnic segments of the community. Objective 1-1: To povide fo the pesevation of existing housing and fo the development of new housing to meet the divese economic and physical needs of the existing esidents and pojected population of the Plan aea to the yea 2010. Policy 1-1.4 Potect the quality of the esidential envionment though attention to the appeaance of communities, including attention to building and site design. Pogam: The Plan includes an Uban Design Chapte which is supplemented by Design Guidelines and Standads fo esidential development.

APCSV-2017-877-ZC-BL F-2 Policy 1-1.6 Peseve and maintain at least fou fifths of designated esidential lands fo single family uses. Pogam: The Plan designates esidential lands to eflect this atio. Objective 1-2 To peseve and enhance the vaied and distinct esidential chaacte and integity of existing single and multi-family neighbohoods. Policy 1-2.1 Seek a high degee of achitectual compatibility and landscaping fo new infill development to potect the chaacte and scale of existing esidential neighbohoods. Pogam: The Plan includes Design Guidelines which establish design standads fo esidential development to implement this policy. Policy 1-2.2 Conside factos such as neighbohood chaacte and identity, compatibility of land uses, impact on livability, impacts on sevices and public facilities, and impacts on taffic levels when changes in esidential densities ae poposed. Pogam: The decision make should adopt findings which addess these factos as pat of any decision elating to changes in planned esidential densities. The poject will potect the quality of the esidential envionment by poposing single-family dwellings fo the site, simila to othe lots on the same section of Roscoe Boulevad. The poject is subject to the small lot Design Guidelines, which wee included in the elated Case No. VTT-74895-SL. Objective 1-3 To pomote and ensue the povision of adequate housing fo all pesons egadless of income, age, o ethnic backgound. Policy 1-3.1 Pomote geate individual choice in type, quality, pice, and location of housing. Pogam: The Plan pomotes geate individual choice though its establishment of esidential design standads and its allocation of lands fo a vaiety of esidential densities. Policy 1-3.4 Povide fo development of townhouses and othe simila condominium type housing units to incease home owneship options. Pogam: The Plan cannot equie that condominium units be built instead of ental units; howeve the Plan encouages such type of development by designating specific aeas fo Low Medium esidential land use categoies. The poject poposes the constuction of nine (9) small-lot single-family dwellings. Five (5) lots will be developed with single-family dwellings of 1,830 squae feet on the potion of the site zoned RD3-1 and fou (4) lots will be developed with single-family dwellings of 2,390 squae feet on the potion of the site zoned RD5-1. The poject will povide additional housing at diffeent sizes, which offes geate individual choices.

APCSV-2017-877-ZC-BL F-3 The poject s location is nea vaious public tansit outes, including the following: Meto Local 152: Woodland Hills to Noth Hollywood via Fallbook Avenue, Roscoe Boulevad and Vineland Avenue. Meto Local 236: Sylma to Encino via Balboa Boulevad and Glenoaks Boulevad. Significant taffic impacts ae not expected fom the poject. The site is in close poximity to bus lines opeating along Roscoe Boulevad and Balboa Boulevad. Theefoe, the poject is not expected to cause any advese impacts on livability, sevices and public facilities, o taffic levels. The poject of nine (9) homes is less than the 25-single-family home theshold established by the Depatment of Tanspotation. The poposed poject will meet the objectives and policies by poviding additional housing at an appopiate density and at a location along a tansit coido to meet the Plan aea s needs and infastuctue capacities. This poject was aleady appoved as a tact map to allow fo the poject to allow fo what once was a single-family home lot with a small diveway to a lot with not only nine (9) new homes, but additional paved paking aeas, a long diveway/common access easement with a sidewalk that extends down its length, and in many ways esembles a steet. In light of the amount of the configuation of the lots and easement, as well as the impevious suface being added to what once was a elatively open and undeveloped site, additional conditions have been added to help the poject align with additional Geneal Plan Policies and Objectives. The poject has been conditioned to add pemeable pavement and educe paved paking aeas to meet the minimum equied by Tact Case No. 74895-SL, which ae aligned with the infastuctue impovements identified in Pogam No. 40 of the Healthy Plan Los Angeles (2015) as well as the intent of Policy 5.5 Geen Steets of the Mobility Plan 2035. The poject has been conditioned to add additional tees along the sidewalk of the common access easement and sidewalk of Roscoe Boulevad, which aligns with Pogam No. 37 of the Healthy Plan fo Los Angeles, which encouages inceased planting to offset ai pollution and povide shade, which educe heat island effects. Both of these infastuctue impovements align with Policy 5.6 Resilience of the Healthy Plan fo Los Angeles, which seeks to incease the City s esilience to isks esulting fom Climate Change. As noted above, the common access easement also in many ways esembles a steet, and yet, it is a common access easement on pivate land. If/when the Buton Steet extension is completed, this easement effectively functions like a steet, connecting Roscoe Boulevad to Buton Steet. The common access easement may be a minimum of 20 feet wide pe the Fie Depatment as noted in Tact Case No. 74895-Sl, and in ode to align with the public steet type impovements fo wide sidewalks with tees along them as noted in the Mobility Element fo pedestian infastuctue (Policy Nos. 2.3, 3.1, 3.5, and Pogam Eng. 1.9), the poject has been conditioned to educe the common access easement width to 20 feet and to incease the sidewalk width. At a width of 20 feet wide, the public will also be discouaged fom enteing the easement aea, which has been conditioned to be the standad width of a public alley Theefoe, as conditioned, the ecommended development meets the objectives of the Community Plan and is consistent with the geneal plan land use designation. 3.
