Summary: Staff requests approval of the First Amendment to Permit No. 952 (P952) with Innovative Terminal Services, Inc. (Innovative) to extend the term for an additional five years. Innovative occupies approximately 716,046 square feet (sq. ft.) of City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) property located at 690 New Dock Street for the operation of a chassis depot. The proposed amendment would extend P952 for a term of five years and 19 days, effective April 12, 2026. Approval of the proposed amendment would also adjust rent to account for current market rates. Annual rent would increase from $3,225,667.28 to $3,522,365.41 in the first year due to market rates. Beginning July 1, 2027, the permit would be subject to annual rent adjustments equal to the greater of two percent or the year-over-year change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action has been previously assessed and is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(i) and Article III Class 1(14) and 1(18(d)) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; 2) approve the First Amendment to Permit No. 952 with Innovative Terminal Services, Inc.; 3) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the First Amendment to Permit No. 952 to the City Council for approval pursuant to Section 606 of the City Charter; 4) authorize the Executive Director to execute, and the Board Secretary to attest to, the First Amendment to Permit No. 952; and 5) adopt Resolution No. ___________________.
Regular Item No. 2 - Pulled from Agenda
Environmental Management
Summary: Staff requests certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the John S. Gibson Truck and Chassis Parking Lot (Project) prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq., CEQA Guidelines, § 1500 et. seq.). The proposed Project is located on privately owned land located at 1599 John S. Gibson Boulevard that is within the California Coastal Zone. The owner would like to develop the 18.63-acre site with a short-term truck and chassis parking facility and related site improvements. The privately owned land is located within the California Coastal Zone and consequently requires coastal development permitting. A portion of the site is located within the Los Angeles Harbor Department’s (Harbor Department) Port Master Plan area, which is under the Harbor Department’s jurisdiction. The remaining portion of the site is under the coastal zone jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles (City), who will also rely on this document when issuing their own Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The Harbor Department has been designated the Lead Agency under CEQA because a Port Master Plan (PMP) Amendment is required to change the location’s designation under the PMP from Open Space to Maritime Support before a CDP can be issued for the Project. In this action, the Board of Harbor Commissioners (Board) will need to independently review and consider the adequacy of the Final EIR and, if deemed adequate under CEQA, certify the EIR and adopt a Findings of Fact (Findings), and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). With the application of mitigation measures, the proposed Project would not result in significant impacts. Total cost associated with the review and oversight of the environmental document to date is estimated at $150,000. The applicant, Howard Industrial Partners is financially responsible for reimbursing the Harbor Department for all costs associated with the preparation of the environmental documents under Agreement No. 22-9967-RC.
Recommendation: Board resolve to 1) certify that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the John S. Gibson Truck and Chassis Parking Lot Project (a) has been completed in compliance with CEQA (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq.), with the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §15000 et. seq.), and the City of Los Angeles California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; (b) was presented to the Board for independent review and the Board considered the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report prior to approving the proposed Project; and (c) reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, and that all required procedures have been completed; 2) find that, in accordance with the information contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report, the proposed Project will have no significant environmental effects as defined by Public Resources Code Sections 21068 and 21082.2, and the State California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Sections 15064, 15064.3, 15064.4, 15064.5, and 15382; 3) find that in accordance with the provisions of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(1), changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the proposed Project, which substantially lessen or avoid the significant adverse environmental impacts identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report; 4) find that all information added to the Final Environmental Impact Report after public notice of the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for public review but before certification, merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to an adequate Environmental Impact Report and recirculation is not necessary; 5) adopt the Findings of Fact; 6) adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) as required by Public Resources Code, Section 21081.6. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is designed to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures adopted to avoid or lessen significant effects on the environment, and identifies the responsibilities of the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, as lead agency, to monitor and verify project compliance with those mitigation measures; 7) approve the proposed Project identified in the Environmental Impact Report including all feasible mitigation measures with consideration of the Findings of Fact and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; 8) authorize the Environmental Management Division to post a Notice of Determination with the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the Los Angeles County Clerk; and 9) adopt Resolution No. _______________.
