Andora Subdivision Project

Andora Subdivision Project

This document serves as the First Addendum to the Andora Subdivision Project Final EIR (SCH No. 2015021057), certified by the City of Los Angeles City Council on June 21, 2017, for the Andora Subdivision Project. The Project involves the merger and resubdivision of six parcels into a maximum 34-lot subdivision (33 residential lots and one open space lot) on an approximately 91-acre undeveloped site, located at the westerly terminus of Andora Avenue in the City of Los Angeles. The Project Site would be developed with 33 single-family residences and associated public streets, with approximately 63 acres preserved as an open space conservation easement. The certified Final EIR identified the Approved Project would impact eight (8) protected trees on the Project Site. The final design for the Approved Project avoided impacting three (3) of these Protected Trees, resulting in the Approved Project impacting five (5) Protected Trees. This Addendum addresses the removal of additional off-site trees to allow for improvements to an existing off-site secondary access road to meet City of Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) standards. The Tree Report for the off-site secondary access road surveyed forty-two (42) trees. One (1) of these trees (Coast Live Oak) died from basal rot and has since been removed. Nine (9) trees located along the alignment of the secondary access road will be preserved in place, including six (6) Protected Trees (Coast Live Oaks) and three (3) non-Protected Trees. The improvements to the off-site secondary access road require the removal of thirty-two (32) trees, including nine (9) non-Protected Trees, eighteen (18) previously planted trees that are not naturally occurring, four (4) living Protected Trees (Coast Live Oaks) and one (1) dead Protected Tree (Coast Live Oak). The Modified Project would impact a total of ten (10) Protected Trees including the five (5) on-site Protected Trees and five (5) additional off-site Protected Trees, including four (4) living Protected Trees and one (1) dead Protected Tree.
