PROPERTY ZONED AMENDED DOWNEY LANDING SPECIFIC PLAN,
ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBER: 6256-004-036,6256-040-020
APPLICANT: INDUSTRIAL REALTY GROUP, LLC, INC.
AUTHORIZED AGENT: MANARINO REALTY LLC
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A. Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 (the Application) was filed on June 9, 2011 by Mr.
Robert A. Manarino, the Authorized Agent, on behalf of the Applicant, Industrial
Realty Group, LLC, Inc., requesting a tentative tract map under Section 9900 et seq.
of the Downey Municipal Code to subdivide the westerly 57.78 acres of the 77 -acre
Downey Studios site at 12214 Lakewood Boulevard into sixteen (16) parcels. The
lots that comprise Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 maintain the Amended Downey
Landing Specific Plan zoning designation.
B. The Authorized Agent also filed three other applications in conjunction with Tentative
Tract Map No. 71544 for the purpose of developing a 1.5 million square foot mixed-
use project known as the Tierra Luna Marketplace, or the 2011 Revised Project, on
the 77 -acre Downey Studios site. The three applications included PLN -11 — 00136,
which is a request to amend the Downey Landing Specific Plan, a Development
Agreement and Tentative Parcel Map No. 71543.
C. The Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's Office identifies the two parcels under
consideration to be subdivided as assessor parcel numbers 6256-004-036 and 6256-
004-020.
D. The Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing on December 21,
2011, and after fully considering all written and oral testimony and facts and opinions
offered at said public hearing adopted Resolution No. 11 - 2748, approving Tentative
Tract Map No. 71544.
SECTION 2. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to
it at said public hearing, the Planning Commission finds, determines and declares that:
A. Proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 is consistent with the General Plan.
The Amended Downey Landing Specific Plan is the regulatory document that
oversees all development activities involving the tentative map's proposed parcels
and the amended plan's provisions conform with the "Mixed Use" General Plan
category assigned to the site. Further, the shape and design of Tentative Tract Map
No. 71544's lots are consistent with the provisions of the amended specific plan;
consequently, the requested tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan.
Resolution No. 11-2748
Planning Commission
In addition, approving Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 and developing the project site
in accordance with the tentative map will implement several General Plan programs
and a General Plan goal. The tentative map is an integral part of the Tierra Luna
Marketplace, and the project is expected to generate employment opportunities that
will have a beneficial effect throughout the local economy. Related General Plan
programs and a General Plan goal include: (1) Goal 9.1 Attract and retain
businesses; (2) Program 1.1.3.1 Encourage land uses that generate jobs; (3)
Program 9.2.1.3 Promote employment that increases the daytime population of the
city creating customer demand for other businesses; and (4) Program 9.2.2.1
Promote a diversified employment base with jobs in sectors in addition to retail sales.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. No active
earthquake faults have been identified along the ground surface of any of the
properties within Downey, according to the Safety Chapter of the General Plan. And
although the state Division of Mines has designated Downey as a liquefaction hazard
zone, a standard condition of the city's architectural plan check process requires the
submittal of a geotechnical report in conjunction with a project's architectural plans in
order to mitigate the possibility of undermining structures during earthquakes.
C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development proposed.
The parcels that comprise Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 are physically suited to
accommodate the intensity and density of development that the amended specific
plan will permit, since they are of sufficient size to accommodate the plan's permitted
uses, as well as satisfy its applicable development standards.
D. The design of the tentative tract map or its proposed improvements will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. The site of Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 is part of the
community's built environment and has supported the affected site's existing
improvements since the early 1930s. The 57 -acre tentative map site is part of a
larger 77 -acre site that supports seven (7) buildings of various sizes, which together
total approximately 1.5 million square feet. Further, an environmental impact report
(EIR) was prepared for Tentative Tract Map No. 71544, along with a companion
parcel map (TPM No. 71543) and the proposed amendment to the Downey Landing
Specific Plan, which indicates that although the planned development of the tentative
tract map may have significant and unavoidable impacts on construction -related
emissions, long-term operational emissions and construction -related noise, there are
specific social, economic and other considerations which make infeasible the
mitigation measures for those mpacts or the other project alternatives identified in
the EIR.
E. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not cause serious public
health problems. The design of Tentative Tract Map 71544 has been carefully laid
out to avoid conditions that could result in serious public health problems. Further,
each proposed lot is large enough to comply with building setback, yard and fire
separation areas. Additionally, conditions of approval have been imposed on the
tentative map to insure that it will not result in health problems
F. The design and configuration of Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 and its
accompanying improvements will not conflict with the easements acquired by the
public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 — 12214 Lakewood Blvd.
December 21, 2011 — Page 2
Resolution No. 11-2748
Planning Commission
All such easements have been noted and reserved on the tentative map, including
vehicular and pedestrian and access easements to public utilities on private property
for the purpose of maintenance and inspection.
G The design and configuration of Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 and its
accompanying improvements will result in parcels that are more than adequate in
size to enable the orientation of future buildings to take advantage of natural and
passive cooling opportunities. The tentative map's 16 parcels are more than
adequate in size to take advantage of passive cooling opportunities.
H. The conditions imposed on Tentative Tract Map No. 71544 and described in
Exhibit A are necessary to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the
community and enable the Planning Commission to make the findings set forth in
this section. Furthermore, the conditions are fair and reasonable for the
accomplishment of these purposes.
SECTION 3. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Final Environmental Impact
Report (Final EIR) have been prepared for the Tierra Luna Marketplace project,
including Tentative Tract Map No. 71544, in accordance with the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and the City of
Downey's Revised Procedures for Implementing CEQA. Prior to approving the
proposed tentative tract map, the Planning Commission considered the Final EIR, the
comments received during the environmental document's public review period and
responses to the comments. Based on the Final EIR and submitted comments and
responses, the Planning Commission finds, determines and declares that although the
proposed Tierra Luna Marketplace project may have significant and unavoidable
adverse impacts, the Commission makes the finding according to Subsection ( 3 ) of
Public Resources Code Section 21081 that specific economic, legal, social,
technological or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or the
other project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
SECTION 4. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby adopts by
reference the following documents attached to the Resolution Recommending
Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Tierra Luna Specific Plan,
A Proposed Amendment to the Downey Landing Specific Plan: (1) Exhibit D — Statement
of Findings of Fact; (2) Exhibit E — Statement of Overriding Considerations; and (3)
Exhibit F — Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
SECTION 5. The Planning Commission hereby certifies the Final EIR, as
complete and adequate, and determines that the Final EIR was prepared in compliance
with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Downey's
Revised Procedures for Implementing CEQA. Based on the findings set forth above, the
Planning Commission hereby approves Tentative Tract Map No. 71544, subject to the
above -referenced documents, and the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

Attachment A
Storm Water Pollution Control Requirements for Construction Activities
Minimum Water Quality Protection Requirements for All Development
Construction Projects/Certification Statement
The following is intended as an attachment for construction and grading plans
and represent the minimum standards of good housekeeping which must be
implemented on all construction sites regardless of size.
Eroded sediments and other pollutants must be retained on site and may not be
transported from the site via sheetflow, swales, area drains, natural drainage
courses or wind.
Stockpiles of earth and other construction related materials must be protected
from being transported from the site by the forces of wind or water.
Fuels, oils, solvents and other toxic materials must be stored in accordance with
their listing and are not to contaminate the soil and surface waters. All approved
storage containers are to be protected from the weather. Spills must be cleaned
up immediately and disposed of in a proper manner. Spills may not be washed
into the drainage system.
❑ Non -storm water runoff from equipment and vehicle washing and any other
activity shall be contained at the project site.
❑ Excess or waste concrete may not be washed into the public way or any other
drainage system. Provisions shall be made to retain concrete wastes on site until
they can be disposed of as solid waste.
❑ Trash and construction related solid wastes must be deposited into a covered
receptacle to prevent contamination of rainwater and dispersal by wind.
❑ Sediments and other materials may not be tracked from the site by vehicle traffic.
The construction entrance roadways must be stabilized so as to inhibit sediments
from being deposited into the public way. Accidental depositions must be swept
