(Ord. 92-21 12-15-92)
Prior to approval of any development project for which an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared pursuant to the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or based on a local
determination, regional and municipal fixed-route transit operators
providing service to the project shall be identified and consulted
with. Projects for which a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for a Draft
EIR has been circulated pursuant to the provisions of CEQA prior to
the effective date of the Ordinance codified in this Article shall
be exempted from its provisions. The "Transit Impact Review Worksheet,"
contained in the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program
manual, or similar worksheets, shall be used in assessing impacts.
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, transit operators shall be sent
a NOP for all contemplated EIRs and shall, as part of the NOP process,
be given opportunity to comment on the impacts of the project, to
identify recommended transit service or capital improvements which
may be required as a result of the project, and to recommend mitigation
measures which minimize automobile trips on the CMP network. Impacts
and recommended mitigation measures identified by the transit operator
shall be evaluated in the Draft Environmental Impact Report ("DEIR")
prepared for the project. Related mitigation measures adopted shall
be monitored through the mitigation monitoring requirements of CEQA.
Phased development projects, development projects subject to
a development agreement, or development projects requiring subsequent
approvals, need not repeat this process as long as no significant
changes are made to the project. It shall remain the discretion of
the lead agency to determine when a project is substantially the same
and therefore covered by a previously certified EIR.
(Ord. 92-21 12-15-92)
(1)
Applicability
of Requirements. Prior to approval of any development project, the
applicant shall make provision for, as a minimum, all of the applicable
transportation demand management and trip reduction measures listed
in the sections that follow.
This Article shall not apply to projects for which a development
application has been deemed "incomplete" by the City pursuant to Government
Code Section 65943, or for which a Notice of Preparation for a DEIR
has been circulated or for which an application for a building permit
has been received, prior to the effective date of the Ordinance codified
in this Article. In addition, this Article shall not apply to development
that is permitted under the provisions of the SE Overlay Zone, in
light of the comprehensive Transportation Demand Management program
imposed as mitigation measures in the Environmental Impact Report
for the IBEC Project, as memorialized in its Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (MMRP).

parking area shall be identified on the site plan upon application
for building permit, to the satisfaction of the City. A statement
that preferential carpool/vanpool spaces for employees are available
and a description of the method for obtaining such spaces must be
included on the required transportation information board. Spaces
will be signed/striped as demand warrants, and at all times at least
one space for projects over one hundred thousand square feet will
be signed/striped for carpool/vanpool vehicles.

fully enclosed space or locker accessible only to the owner or operator
of the bicycle, which protects the bike from inclement weather. Specific
facilities and location (e.g., provision of racks, lockers, or locked
room) shall be to the satisfaction of the City.

When locating bus stops and/or planning building entrances, entrances
must be designed to provide safe and efficient access to nearby transit
stations/stops.
(iv)
Safe and convenient access from the external circulation system to
bicycle parking facilities onsite.
