Mr. James McDaniel, Chief Operating Officer—Water System Mr. Delon Kwan, Water Resources Planning and Policy CITY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER 111 North Hope Street, Room 1455 Los Angeles, California 90012 Re: REQUEST FOR WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT—THE CROSSROADS

HOLLYWOOD PROJECT Dear Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Kwan:

California Senate Bill (SB) 610, effective January 1, 2002, states that a water supply assessment must be provided to local governments for inclusion in any environmental documentation for certain projects subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Specifically, SB 610 requires that for certain projects, the CEQA lead agency must identify any public water system that may supply water to the proposed project and request the public water system to determine the water demand associated with the project and whether such demand was included as part of the most recently adopted Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). Per Section 10912 of the California Water Code (CWC), a project which is subject to the requirements of SB 610 includes: (1) a shopping center or business establishment that will employ more than 1,000 persons or have more than 500,000 square feet of floor space; (2) a commercial office building that will employ more than 1,000 persons or have more than 250,000 square feet of space; or (3) any mixed-use project that would demand an amount of water equal to or greater than the amount of water needed to serve a 500 dwelling unit project.

The Crossroads Hollywood Project (hereafter referred to as the Project) meets Criteria 1 and 3 above. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has been identified as the public water system (as defined in CWC Section 10912 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15083.5(e)) that would serve the Project. Accordingly, the Department of City Planning (CEQA lead agency for the Project) requests that the LADWP: (1) determine whether the estimated water demand associated with the

Mr. James McDaniel, Chief Operating Officer—Water System LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER March 31, 2016 – Page 2 Project was included as part of LADWP’s most recently adopted UWMP; and (2) prepare and approve a water supply assessment using the UWMP or new analyses for the Project pursuant to CWC Section 10910 et seq.

The requirements for a water supply assessment include the identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, or water service contracts held by LADWP’s public water system, and prior years’ water deliveries received by LADWP’s public water system. Please refer to CWC Section 10910 (d)(2) for the documentation required to verify any identified rights to a water supply. If the LADWP has not received water in prior years as described in CWC Section 10910 (e) or if groundwater is a source of supply as described in CWC Section 10910 (f), please comply with the requirements of those sections.

The Department of City Planning, which is preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Project in accordance with CEQA, requests that the water supply assessment include a discussion of whether LADWP’s public water system’s total projected water supplies available during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years will meet the projected water demand associated with the Project, in addition to LADWP’s public water system’s existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses, pursuant to CWC Section 10910 (c)(3).

Project Location

The Project Site consists of 29 individual parcels across four City blocks in the Hollywood Community of the City of Los Angeles. The approximately 8.0-acre (348,419-square-foot) Project Site is generally bounded by Selma Avenue to the north; the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and School to the east; Sunset Boulevard to the south; and Highland Avenue to the west. The Project Site is currently developed with various uses including 84 multi-family residential dwelling units; one- and two-story structures used for commercial office and retail uses; and surface parking lots. Existing on-site uses include the Crossroads of the World complex (Crossroads of the World), which includes low-density commercial and office uses. Intermittent landscaping is dispersed throughout the Project Site and generally consists of ornamental trees and shrubs.

Project Description

The Project would remove all existing on-site uses except Crossroads of the World, which would be rehabilitated and converted back to retail/restaurant uses. Crossroads of the World would be integrated into a new mixed-use development comprised of eight new buildings housing residential, hotel, commercial/retail, office, and restaurant uses. Upon Project build-out, the Project (including existing uses to be retained) would include approximately 950 residential units, 308 hotel rooms, 95,000

Mr. James McDaniel, Chief Operating Officer—Water System LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER March 31, 2016 – Page 3 square feet of office uses, and 185,000 square feet of commercial/retail uses, totaling approximately 1,432,500 square feet of floor area. Approximately 83,200 square feet of the proposed retail area would consist of restaurant uses, with a maximum total of 3,037 seats. Building heights would range from 3 to 32 floors with a maximum building height of approximately 402 feet above grade. New, below-grade parking would be provided for all portions of the Project with a maximum of five levels of subterranean parking. In total, the Project would provide approximately 2,596 vehicular parking spaces. A conceptual site plan is attached as part of the Notice of Preparation.

The Project would include open space and green space consisting of a series of integrated walkways that would connect the dynamic mixed-use district created by the Project with the Hollywood neighborhood. Proposed additional landscaped public walkways would also promote access and connectivity to and through the Project Site from Sunset Boulevard, Las Palmas Avenue, Selma Avenue, and McCadden Place. In addition, the Project would also include active and passive recreational spaces including roofdecks and pools, community rooms and recreational facilities, courtyards, landscaped gardens, and common open space with gathering and seating areas. In total, approximately 31,184 square feet of the open space provided would consist of landscaped surface area.

Existing Water Consumption

As discussed above, the Project Site is currently developed with various uses including 84 multi-family residential dwelling units; one- and two-story structures used for commercial/retail and office uses; and surface parking lots. Existing on-site uses include a total of approximately 172,573 square feet of floor area. As shown in Table 1 on page 4, the Project Site currently generates a water demand of approximately 20,000 gallons per day.

Forecast of Project Water Demand

Table 2 on page 4 provides the estimated water demand forecast for the Project using the City’s Bureau of Sanitation standard factors for wastewater generation. As shown in Table 2, the Project is estimated to result in a domestic water demand of approximately 266,800 gallons per day, which represents an increase of approximately 246,800 gallons per day compared to existing conditions.

To further assist LADWP in the preparation of the Project’s WSA, the Project would also include up to 12 outdoor swimming pools (not associated with a gym or health club). A copy of the Project’s Notice of Preparation is also provided as Attachment B to this letter.

Project Conformance with Existing Zoning and the General Plan

The Project Site is located within the planning boundary of the Hollywood Community Plan (Community Plan), which was adopted in December 1988. The Project Site is designated as Regional Center Commercial by the Community Plan, which corresponds with the C2 (Commercial), C4 (Commercial), RAS4 (Residential/Accessory), R5 (Multiple Dwelling Residential), P (Automobile Parking—Surface and Underground), and PB (Parking Building) zones in the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC). The Project Site is zoned C4-2D (Commercial, Height District 2 with Development Limitation) and C4-2D-SN (Commercial, Height District 2 with Development Limitation, Signage Supplemental Use District). With some limitations (as identified in the LAMC), the C4 zone permits any land use permitted in the C2 zone, which in turn permits any land use permitted in the C1.5 and C1 zones. The Commercial zones permit a wide array of land uses such as retail stores, offices, hotels, schools, parks, and theaters. The C4 zone also permits any land use permitted in the R4 (Multiple Residential) zone, which includes one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, apartment houses, multiple dwellings, and home occupations at a maximum density of 108 dwelling units per acre (a minimum lot area of 400 sf per dwelling unit). The C4 zone also permits residential development at the density permitted in the R5 zone (a maximum density of 217 dwelling units per acre, based on a minimum lot area of 200 square feet per dwelling unit) when a mix of commercial and residential uses is being developed, pursuant to LAMC Section 12.22.A.18(a). Height District 2 within the C4 zone does not impose a height limitation and has a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 6:1. The Development “D” Limitation in the zoning prefix indicates that development shall not exceed a FAR of 2:1 and 3:1 unless certain approvals are received. The Project would include uses that are compatible with the existing land use designation set forth in the Community Plan. However, the Project requests a height district change from 2D to 2 pursuant to LAMC Section 12.32 in order to allow development of the Project with an FAR of 4.7 averaged across the Project Site. Therefore, while the Project does generally conform to the uses permitted by the General Plan and Community Plan for the Project Site, the Project would generally not conform to the intensity of uses permitted by the LAMC without a land use entitlement to permit deviations from the LAMC.

Approvals required for the Project would include, but may not be limited to:

Zone and Height District change from C4-2D and C4-2D-SN to C4-2 and C4-2-SN;

A Scoping Meeting will be held to receive input from the public as to what areas the EIR should study. No decisions about the Project are made at the Scoping Meeting. The project description, location, and the potential environmental effects identified thus far are set forth in this document. Also included below are the date, time, and location of the Scoping Meeting that will be held in order to solicit input regarding the content of the Draft EIR. The Scoping Meeting is in an open house format. THIS IS NOT THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING FOR MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLEMENT REQUESTS which will be scheduled after the completion of the EIR. The environmental file is available for review at the Department of City Planning, 200 North Spring Street, Room 750, Los Angeles, CA 90012. A copy of the Initial Study prepared for the Project is not attached but may be viewed online at http://planning.lacity.org by clicking on the “Environmental Review” tab, then “Notice of Preparation & Public Scoping Meetings”. PROJECT LOCATION: The Project Site consists of 29 individual parcels across four City blocks and is generally bounded by Selma Avenue to the north; the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and School to the east; Sunset Boulevard to the south; and Highland Avenue to the west. The Project Site includes the Crossroads of the World complex (Crossroads of the World), which is a designated City Cultural-Historic Monument (Monument #134) and also appears on the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historic Resources. Crossroads of the World includes low-density commercial and office uses. Other uses at the Project Site include two residential duplexes; three two-story, multi-family apartment buildings housing a total of 80 dwelling units; one- and two-story structures used for commercial office and retail uses; and surface parking lots. The surrounding area is urbanized and includes historic and modern low- to high-rise buildings occupied by neighborhood-serving commercial uses, tourist and entertainment-related uses, offices, hotels, educational institutions, and single-family and multi-family residences.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CRE-HAR Crossroads SPV, LLC, the Project Applicant, proposes to redevelop the Project Site with a cohesive, mixed-use development that blends the distinguishing character of Crossroads of the World with a collection of new buildings of modern design and creates an open-air pedestrian district with a mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment uses. The Project would retain, preserve, and rehabilitate Crossroads of the World and remove all other existing uses on the Project Site, including surface parking lots and approximately 86,947 square feet of existing floor area consisting of 84 residential units (including 80 multi-family dwelling units and two duplexes) and commercial/retail and office uses. The Project would integrate Crossroads of the World into a new, mixed-use development that would include eight new mixed-use buildings with residential, hotel, commercial/retail, office, entertainment, and restaurant uses. Upon build-out, the Project (including existing uses to be retained) would include approximately 1,432,000 square feet of floor area consisting of 950 residential units, 308 hotel rooms, approximately 95,000 square feet of office uses, and approximately 185,000 square feet of commercial/retail uses. The proposed floor area ratio (FAR) would be approximately 4.69:1 averaged across the Project Site. Building heights would range from 3 to 32 floors with a maximum building height of approximately 402 feet above grade.

REQUESTED PERMITS/APPROVALS: The City of Los Angeles has the principal responsibility for approving the Project. Approvals required for development of the Project may include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Zone and Height District change from C4-2D and C4-2D-SN to C4-2 and C4-2-SN;

(2) Site plan review;

(3) Major Development Project Conditional Use Permit pursuant to LAMC Section 12.24.U.14;

(4) Master Conditional Use Permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages and for live entertainment in connection with a total of 22 alcohol-related uses associated with the Project’s proposed hotel and commercial uses;

(5) Conditional Use Permit to permit floor area and density averaging in a unified development;
