A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
MAKING CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND
BETWEEN THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND WHISPERING
GLEN, LLC
WHEREAS, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") wishes
to consider the approval of a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA")
by and between the Agency and Whispering Glen, LLC (the "Developer") for the
disposition of certain real property located at the northeast corner of Fernwood
Ave and Atlantic Ave (the "Site"); and
WHEREAS, a Project Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the
1980 Amendment to Redevelopment Project Area "A" ("1980 EIR"); and
WHEREAS, the development advances the goals of the 1980
Amendment to Lynwood Redevelopment Project Area "A" ("1980 Amendment")
described in the 1980 EIR which goals are to (1) arrest the decline and decay
and the spread of blight throughout the project area, (2) restore and revitalize
existing residential, commercial and industrial areas to viable centers serving
community and regional needs, and (3) stimulate and attract private investment
thereby improving the City's economic health, employment opportunities and tax
base; and
WHEREAS, the 1980 EIR addresses the environmental impacts of the
development pursuant to the proposed DDA; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has prepared an Initial Study and found and
determined that a subsequent EIR is not needed because none of the following
conditions of Section 15162 of Guidelines for the Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA Guidelines") have occurred:
Subsequent changes are proposed in the project which will require
important revisions to the 1980 EIR due to the involvement of new
significant impacts not considered in the 1980 EIR; and
Substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the project was undertaken due to the involvement of the new
significant impacts not covered in the 1980 EIR; and
· New information of substantial importance to the project has become
available.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Lynwood hereby
resolves as follows:
Section 1. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA is
covered by the 1980 EIR which serves as the Final Environmental Impact Report
for the entire Amendment, which Amendment constitutes the "Project".
Section 2. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA was
considered in the 1980 EIR as part of the Project.
Section 3. The 1980 EIR was considered prior to the approval of the DDA.
The Agency hereby finds: the redevelopment pursuant to the proposed DDA is
within the scope of the 1980 Amendment previously approved; the effects of the
redevelopment pursuant to the proposed Final Environmental Impact Report
together with all other development will not cause a significant effect on the
environment. All feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the
Page 1 of 3
previous Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project are incorporated in
this Development. No new information of substantial importance to the Project
has become available. The final Environmental Impact report, therefore, is
determined to be adequate to serve as the environmental impact report for the
Development and satisfies ail the requirements of CEQA.
Section 4. Applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final
Environmental Impact Report have been incorporated into this Development
which mitigate any potential significant environmental impacts thereof.
Section 5. The Final Impact Report incorporates certain mitigation
measures which are to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment,
and the Agency hereby adopts the following program for reporting and
monitoring the implementation of such mitigation measures pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6:
A. The Developer selected by the Agency shall enter into an
Agreement with the Agency to submit all plans and specifications for the
Development to the Agency for its approval, at which time the Agency shall
review the plans and specifications for compliance with such mitigation
measures as are the responsibility of the Developer;
B. The Agency shall comply with all requirements of the City of
Lynwood (the "City") and all public agencies having jurisdiction in any demolition
and construction of public works are to be constructed by the Agency;
C. The Agency will report to the City Council of the City not less than
annually on the implementation of the mitigation measures and make any
recommendations it deems necessary to further implement said measures, such
report to be included in the Agency's annual report pursuant to California Health
and Safety Code Section 33089.5 and 33080.4;
D. The City hereby authorizes and directs that a Notice of
Determination with respect to the acquisition and development of the Site
pursuant to the proposed DDA, and all other Agency actions taken in furtherance
thereof, be filed.
