NOTICE OF PREPARATION
Date: December 19, 2013
SUBJECT: Notice of Preparation (NOP) of Draft Environmental Impact Report
Kensington Assisted Living Facility, 320 Knob Hill Avenue, and related Coastal Zoning Ordinance and Land Use Plan Amendments necessary to allow the proposed use.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Redondo Beach, as the Lead Agency, will prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Kensington Assisted Living Facility project with related zoning and land use plan amendments. Your agency may need to use the EIR prepared by the City when considering permits or other approvals associated with the project and your comments on the environmental scope of the EIR are requested. If you are not a public agency with any statutory responsibility concerning this project, your comments on the environmental scope of the EIR are requested so that the EIR may be prepared in light of the concerns of the community and surrounding areas.
Project Description: The project consists of the demolition of the existing structures, the construction and operation of a two-story building totaling approximately 80,000 gross square feet containing a 96-suite assisted living facility accommodating 130 people, with zoning and land use plan amendments necessary to allow the proposed use, on property located at the southwest corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Knob Hill Avenue (320 Knob Hill Avenue). Also included is the repurposing of an existing one-story 2,600 square foot building, which may potentially become available for a community use. The assisted living facility will accommodate elderly who have Alzheimer’s and other similar conditions. Of the 96 suites, 89 would range in size from approximately 325 square feet to 625 square feet and would include one or two sleeping areas. Seven suites will be designed especially for couples and will range from 600 square feet to 1,200 square feet. The approval of the project by the City is contingent on the approval of Coastal Zoning and Land Use Plan Amendments to conditionally allow residential care facilities for the elderly on the subject property. Thereafter, the project, including Zoning and Land Use Plan Amendments, must be approved by the City of Redondo Beach residents at an election, and the Zoning and Land Use Plan Amendments must be approved by the Coastal Commission at a public hearing, before the project approvals are deemed final.
Based on the findings of the Initial Study, the City has identified issues related to the following topics for further analysis in the EIR: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Public Services including Emergency Response/Paramedic Services, Transportation and Traffic, and Utilities and Service Systems. A copy of the Initial Study can be reviewed at City Hall, Planning Division, 415 Diamond Street, Redondo Beach, California90277 and online at www.redondo.org.
Due to the time limits mandated by State law, your response must be sent at the earliest possible date but not later than 30 days after the date of this notice. The NOP public review period is scheduled from December 19, 2013 to January 17, 2014. Please send your response to Anita Kroeger, Associate Planner at 415 Diamond Street, Redondo Beach, California90277. Please provide your name or the name of a contact person in your agency. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Kroeger at (310) 318-0637, x1-2248.
