The City Council is pleased to invite your participation in a meeting concerning the following:

WHAT:   City-Initiated Zoning Code Amendment to Sections 17.220.015.A – Commercial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements, 17.220.035 – Commercial Downtown (CD) District Requirements, and 17.320.020 – Number of Parking Spaces Required.  The proposed Zoning Code amendment is related to allowing additional ground floor use types and associated parking requirements in the Downtown District.

WHERE:  HYBRID MEETING – Attend Virtually via Webex or In-Person

               City Hall – Mike Balkman Council Chambers

               9770 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232

WHEN:   Monday, April 11, 2022, at 7 PM

WHY:   The purpose of the Public Hearing is for the City Council to review and to receive public input on the proposed Zoning Code Amendment and consider adoption of the proposed Amendment.

CEQA:   The proposed Amendment is considered exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment.  The Amendment by itself does not result in any physical changes nor any significant effects on the environment and does not intensify development beyond current Zoning Code limits.  The uses affected by the Amendment are already allowed in the CD Zone above the ground floor and changes would permit those uses on the ground floor.  The amended parking is not expected to increase parking demand because the CD Zone attracts single vehicle trips to multiple land uses in the Zone such as Downtown office users visiting Downtown food retailers.  Public parking facilities in the CD Zone can absorb parking generated by single vehicle trips going to various downtown uses.  The Amendment does not include a specific project application and projects submitted after Amendment adoption will be subject to appropriate environmental review under CEQA.
