The 24,083-square foot site is bound by residential uses to the north, an alley to the east, East Pacific Coast Highway to the south, and Gardenia Avenue to the west. The property is currently vacant.
Description
The project proposes to demolish the existing on-site restaurant and associated surface parking lot, and construct a staffed, automated express car wash facility. A 3,278-square foot one-story express car wash building would be constructed, equipped with standard car wash tunnel equipment. In addition to the 100-foot wash tunnel, the building would include an area for mechanical/electrical equipment and storage. A drive-through lane would be constructed to direct vehicles entering the site from a new driveway along Gardenia Avenue northerly to a pay station, then southerly to enter into the car wash tunnel. Vehicles would exit the southerly end of the car wash building and either exit the site via a driveway towards the eastern alley or a new driveway onto East Pacific Coast Highway. Vehicles also have the option to park in one of 18 self-service vacuum parking spaces, equipped with one vacuum per space. The project would construct an approximately 355-square foot one-story building consisting of a restroom, trash enclosure, and vacuum room in the southeast corner of the site, as well as a 127-square foot one-story monitoring room near the entrance (northern end) of the car wash tunnel. The project will also include the installation of 2,523 square-feet new drought tolerant landscaping onsite. Car wash operations would include on-site staffing of approximately five employees per shift with two shifts per day. Anticipated operating hours would be from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. seven days a week.

3917 Long Beach Boulevard (Los Angeles County Assessor’s ID Number 7139-013-900)
Description
The proposed project involves the demolition of the existing, city-owned Fire Station No. 9, located at 3917 Long Beach Boulevard. The proposed project includes two potential courses of action, Option A and Option B, both involving the demolition of the 5,548-square foot City-owned Fire Station No. 9 and eventual development of a permanent fire station (the site and scope of the replacement structure has not yet been identified and is not a part of this project). Due to the age and architecture of the building, the station appears to be eligible for designation as a Long Beach Historic Landmark and listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). Therefore, Fire Station No. 9 is considered a historic resource pursuant to CEQA.
The station has been closed since July 2019 due to the recurrence of toxic mold in the building and Fire Station No. 9 activities have been temporarily relocated offsite. This relocation has compromised response times in the Fire Station No. 9 service area and has increased the average response time by 16 percent and by as much as 55 percent in certain neighborhoods. The increased response times present public safety concerns in this area of the City. Due to the hazardous conditions of the building, the station is uninhabitable by the Long Beach Fire Department. The City has determined there are two potential options for site:
- Option A would remove the existing structurally impaired and deteriorated building due to the hazardous conditions created by the mold and building moisture and install a temporary modular structure to accommodate the station crew.
- Option B would also remove the existing structurally impaired and deteriorated building. However, under Option B, the site would remain undeveloped and available for a future civic use.
Option A would involve the installation of a temporary/modular structure that would house Fire Station No. 9 operations for approximately five years while a larger permanent replacement structure is built off-site (the site of the replacement structure has not yet been identified and is not a part of this project). Under Option B, the existing Fire Station No. 9 facility would be removed, and the project site would be cleared and remain undeveloped, with the site prepared for a future civic use. The potential future use of the project site has not been identified and is not part of this EIR. Fire Station No. 9 would continue to operate out of an alternate location until a new permanent station has been constructed.

Description
The City is the Lead Agency for the project and will prepare the EIR in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. In early 2008, the City prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Alamitos Bay Marina Rehabilitation Project. Mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant effects to less than significant levels were incorporated into the project, and the IS/MND was circulated for public review from April 4, 2008 to May 5, 2008. Comments were received from reviewing agencies and issues were raised in the comments received that have yet to be resolved. Therefore, due to and abundance of caution, the City has elected to elevate the level of CEQA review to an EIR.

Location
The project site is located within Houghton Park at 6301 Myrtle Avenue in Long Beach, California. Houghton Park is located between Myrtle Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, and north of East Harding Street. The project site is located in the northeastern corner of Houghton Park, and includes the Houghton Park Community Center (community center) and associated parking lot. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in the region and Figure 2 shows the project site within Houghton Park.
Description
The project involves construction of an approximately 6,480 square foot (sf) building to the east of the existing community center, which would connect via a breezeway. The existing building consists of three parts: the first built in the 1930s, the second added in the 1950s to the north of the 1930s building, and the third extended the 1950s building to the west (built in the 1980s). In addition, the project involves a partial renovation of the existing 1950s building and also a demolition of part of the 1980s wing to the west (4,340 sf) and a portion of the 1959 wing to the east (869 sf). The project would also include demolition of the restroom building (677 sf) south of the 1930s building. Approximately 5,886 sf of total building area would be demolished, and the proposed project would increase the total building area by approximately 594 sf. The project includes a goal of achieving LEED Silver in the proposed building.

Description
The proposed project is an update to the City's existing General Plan and is intended to guide growth and future development through the year 2040. The proposed project includes the approval of both the General Plan Land Use Element (LUE) and Urban Design Element (UDE), which would replace the existing LUE and Scenic Routes Element, respectively. The proposed LUE would introduce the concept of "PlaceTypes," which would replace the current approach in the existing LUE of segregating property within the City through traditional land use designations and zoning classifications. PlaceTypes would divide the City into distinct neighborhoods, thus allowing for greater flexibility and mix of compatible land uses within the areas. The proposed UDE would define the physical aspects of the urban environment and would facilitate the PlaceTypes extablished in the proposed LUE by creating sustainable places; improving the urban fabric and public spaces; and degining edges, thoroughfares, and corridors.
Recirculated Draft EIR Public Review Period: 6/18/19-8/16/19
A Draft EIR was previously circulated from September 1, 2016, to November 18, 2016. As per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, a lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR, or when recirculation occurs after giving public notice of the availability of the Draft EIR for public review and before certification of the EIR. Based on comments received during and after the Draft EIR public review period, changes were made to the project to address concerns related to height, density, additional housing units, and traffic. On March 6, 2018, the Long Beach City Council adopted a revised set of land use and height maps. In compliance with the California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21092.1 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, the City has prepared this Recirculated Draft EIR to evaluate whether the revised project would result in a new environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact as compared to the original project and the 2016 Draft EIR. Similar to the 2016 EIR, the revised EIR analysis found that all impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level with adherence to Standard Conditions and prescribed Mitigation Measure, with the exception of impacts related to Air Quality, Global Climate Change, and Transportation. The only new impact found to be significant and unavoidable relates to noise. The 2016 EIR did not find Noise impacts to be significant despite mitigation. Given that the timing and extent of construction-related noise is unknown, the revised EIR finds this impact to be significant and unavoidable; this conclusion represents a more conservative analysis. Note that all comments received during the 2016 EIR comment period will still be included in the administrative record but will not be responded to again (new comments must be submitted on the revised project).Written comments (accepted via email and/or letter) on the Recirculated Draft EIR must be submitted no later than close of business August 16, 2019, to the address below. Note that only written comments provided by mail or email to the below contact will be responded to; posts on social media will not be considered comments.

The proposed East Division Police Substation (herein referenced as the “projectâ€) is located at 3800 E. Willow Street (between Redondo Avenue and Lakewood Boulevard), and would involve the transfer of the Schroeder Hall property (owned by the U.S. Department of Defense) to the City of Long Beach for relocation of the existing East Division Police Substation and Juvenile Investigations Section.
Description
Following a preliminary review of the proposed project, the City of Long Beach determined that the improvements are subject to the guidelines and regulations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City has determined an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) to be the appropriate level of environmental analysis under the provisions of CEQA. As the City is seeking a transfer of land under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program (or a transition of surplus military property to civilian uses), the proposed project is also subject to environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (implementation of which is reviewed and approved by the U.S. Department of the Army). NEPA documentation associated with the proposed project will be processed by the Department of the Army under separate cover.

PROPOSED MARITIME IMPROVEMENTS.
- Dredging. Deepening the existing berth from its current design depth of 30 feet MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) plus one foot to a new design depth of 36 feet MLLW plus one foot of over-dredge for a total depth of 37 feet MLLW. It is estimated that the dredging volume would total approximately 33,250 cubic yards, consisting of:
• 28,250 cubic yards within the existing berth; and
The project would include disposal of approximately 33,250 cubic yards of dredged materials at the LA-2 Ocean Dredge Material Disposal Site located offshore approximately 11 miles southwest of the cruise terminal.
• 5,000 cubic yards within the proposed berth extension area. - Mooring Dolphins and Catwalks. Two high-capacity, pile-founded mooring dolphins and associated catwalks are proposed on both sides of the wharf deck to allow for adequate mooring capacity and stability. The proposed dolphins would be structurally designed similar to the existing dolphins located off the northern and southern ends of the deck. All dolphins would connect back to the wharf deck via catwalk bridge elements.
- Passenger Walkway Bridge Extension. An extension to the existing passenger walkway bridge system with an added ramp section is proposed to accommodate the new ship. This would include a new tower element on the existing wharf deck and a new tower on a new platform deck using new or current piles just south of the existing wharf deck. The passenger walkway bridge extension and associated tower element would be designed to follow the specifications and design criteria of the existing gangway, to be adjustable for tidal conditions while remaining within Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) allowances.
- Fender Replacements. The project would also replace the existing worn foam-filled fenders with new oversized high-density foam-filled fenders and backing plates.
- Proposed Water Lease. Carnival is proposing to expand its existing water lease from POLB from 7.81 acres to 11.8 acres to encompass the additional dredged area required as part of the project. The total over-water work area is approximately 17.06 acres, which includes the proposed water lease area as well as the dredge extents.
PROPOSED ONSHORE IMPROVEMENTS- Parking Garage Expansion. The project would expand the existing parking garage from 1,430 parking spaces to approximately 2,055 parking spaces by extending the parking garage laterally towards the southwest and northeast. Both the southwest and northeast extensions would occur over existing roadways within the leasehold, with vertical clearance heights maintained for all through traffic lanes to accommodate commercial vehicles, including emergency response vehicles (i.e., Long Beach Fire Department Station 6 vehicles).
- Tunnel Abandonment. The 450-foot tunnel system located to the southwest of the parking garage along Windsor Way would be filled and abandoned.
- Traffic Lane Reconfiguration. Traffic lanes around the southern corner of the existing parking garage would be reconfigured. Existing traffic is open in both directions to the public with traffic moving counter-clockwise on the outside lanes and clockwise on the inside lanes. The project would modify the traffic lane configurations to be open to the public only on the inside lane in a counter-clockwise direction to allow a fire lane along the outside lane to travel in a clockwise direction.
- Dredging. Deepening the existing berth from its current design depth of 30 feet MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) plus one foot to a new design depth of 36 feet MLLW plus one foot of over-dredge for a total depth of 37 feet MLLW.
