G. ORDINANCE NO. 714: APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT,\nZONE CHANGE, DENSITY BONUS, AND STREET VACATION FOR A ONE\nHUNDRED PERCENT AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AT\n405 S. DEL MAR AVENUE (GPA24-001, ZC24-001) – SECOND READING\nAND ADOPTION\nAdoption of Ordinance No. 714 would amend the General Plan Land Use from\nLight Industrial to High Density Residential, Zoning from M-1 (Light\nManufacturing) to R-3 (Multiple Family Residence), and approve a Density\nBonus and Street Vacation for a one hundred percent affordable senior housing\ndevelopment at 405 S. Del Mar Avenue. The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Adopted\nBudget includes the cost for required legal publication (Account No. 121-702-\n00-65-000) and codification (Account No. 121-702-00-22-000) of the\nordinance.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: This project was\nreviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).\nThis project is exempt from the requirement of CEQA, per Guideline Section\n21080.40 (Definitions; affordable housing projects and rezoning exemption).\nTechnical studies, including traffic, acoustic, and a Phase I and Phase II\nenvironmental site assessment were prepared by the applicant team and\nsubmitted to the City and Department of Toxic Substances Control for review.\nOn July 23, 2024, the City submitted letters, requesting tribal consultation with\nthe associated tribal representatives by August 22, 2024. The City received a\nrequest for consultation from the Gabrielino Band of Mission Indians – Kizh\nNation. Consultation concluded on September 3, 2024. The project site has a\nmoderate sensitivity for buried Native American archaeological deposits and\ncultural materials. Therefore, the potential to tribal cultural resources on-site is\nmoderate. Given the moderate sensitivity of the project site, even with the\nprevious disturbance, there could still be a moderate likelihood of encountering\ntribal cultural resources during project construction. The Native American Historic\nResource Act; Archeological, Paleontological, and Historical Sites; Native\nAmerican Historical, Cultural, and Sacred Sites (Public Resources Code Section\n5097-5097.994) specifies the procedures to be followed in the event of the\nunexpected discovery of human remains on nonfederal public lands. Adherence\nto existing State regulations and the procedures in the City’s Historic Preservation\nand Cultural Resources Ordinance (SGMC Section 153.630); would ensure that\npotential impacts on tribal cultural resources would be reduced to less than\nsignificant levels.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council waive reading and adopt Ordinance No.\n714 entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Gabiel,\nCalifornia, Approving a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Density Bonus,\nand Street Vacation for a one hundred percent affordable senior housing\ndevelopment at 405 S. Del Mar Avenue.”
