Shores Apartment Project - Project No. R2005-00234

On April 28, 2008, the Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that The Shores Project Enviornmental Impact Report (EIR) did not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with regard to environmental analysis associated with exporting approximately 25,940 cubic yards of soil fromm the site in preparation for construction of the Project. The Court upheld all other analyses in the EIR. The subject property, which comprises two County of Los Angeles-owned parcels known as Marina del Rey Parcels 100 and 101, is located at 4201 Via Marina within the unincorporated community of Marina del Rey. The proposed The Shores project consists of (1) the demolition and removal of all existing site improvements which include 202 apartment dwelling units in 34 two-story structures, related surface parking and landscaping and hardscape facilities, and (2) the construction of 544 apartment units in a series of 12 five-story structures. each building would consist of a five-story concrete structure over two levels of subterranean and above-grade parking. The proposed project also includes substantial landscaping and hardscape facilities such as sidewalks, paved paths and outdoor recreational amenities for the residents of the apartments. Parking would occur in garages built beneath five levels of apartments. The proposed project will provide a total 1,114 parking spaces on site. This number exceeds code parking requirements. County of Los Angeles Zoning Code requires 1,088 parking spaces (952 for residents of the projecvt and 136 spaces for their guests). In association with the development of this project and in accordance with the court order referenced above, an additional analysis will be prepared to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with exporting approximately 25,950 cubic yards of earth material from the project site to the Puente Hills Landfill. This NOP is being distributed to determine what, if any, technical information should be included in the subject additional analysis.
