Ponte Vista Project

Case Number: ENV-2005-4516-EIR
State Clearinghouse Number: 2010101082

Project Location: 26900 South Western Avenue, Los Angeles, California, 90732
Council District: 15
Project Description:
The Project proposes a Specific Plan (proposed density is approximately 13.5 units per acre), General Plan
Amendment, Zone Change, and Vesting Tentative Tract Map for the subdivision, construction, and operation of an
830-unit residential development. The Project's residential units would be comprised of single-family, townhome,
flat, and apartment units ranging in size from 600 to approximately 2,800 square feet, within buildings constructed
over and/or adjacent to residential parking garages. Up to 218 of the 830 units may be rental units. The Project
would also provide an access road from Western Avenue to the off-site, private Mary Star of the Sea High School.
The Project Site is approximately 61.5 acres. The Project would incorporate internal open space and recreational
areas, including a community clubhouse and pool/recreation area and approximately 7.1 acres of park area.
Additional recreational amenities would be distributed throughout the site. The Project would involve the
demolition and removal of all existing improvements on the Site, which include 245 vacant residential units, a 2,161-
square foot community center, and a 3,454-square foot retail convenience facility which were constructed in
approximately 1962 by the U.S. Navy for the purpose of housing and accommodating personnel stationed at the
Long Beach Naval Shipyard. The Site (formerly known as “San Pedro Housing”) was closed in the late 1990s.

Dear Ms. Strelich,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the subject DEIR. The Department concurs with
the biological mitigation measures proposed with the following comments.
1. The Department concurs that a streambed alteration agreement notification will be needed
for this project. The mitigation necessary for that agreement may differ from the BIO - 4
measure of 1:1 depending on the local conditions determined by the DFG staff during a future
site visit.
A3-1
2. The Department concurs with the use of native plant species for re-vegetation on this
project and understand that there will be approximately 3,518 trees planted on the project site
during project implementation.
Please feel free contact me if you have any questions or if you need DFG staff consultation
during project implementation.
Thanks,
Daniel S. Blankenship
