NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the City of Torrance proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigated Negative Declaration means that the project has been determined to have less than a significant effect on the environment, when certain mitigating measures are performed. The proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study (reference number EAS20-01001) are available for PUBLIC REVIEW on the following matter:

2555 W. 190^TH STREET INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE PROJECT

COMSTOCK DEVELOPMENT (ST PAUL PROPERTIES INC.): EAS20-01001, CUP20-01003, DIV20-01003

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of the demolition of an approximately 160,000 square-foot vacant office building and construction of one industrial warehouse building totaling 305,550 square feet on a 13.29-acre site. As proposed, the project will require a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of the industrial warehouse building; and a Division of Lot to consolidate three existing parcels into one to locate the property entirely on one parcel, resulting in a Floor Area Ratio that will not exceed 0.60.

PROJECT LOCATION: 2555 W 190^th Street, Torrance, CA 90504 (APNs: 4090-021-032, 4090-021-033, 4090-021-034)

DETERMINATION: Based on the Initial Study prepared for the project, there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment beyond the impacts previously identified and analyzed in the 2009 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH #90010318). The 2009 General Plan EIR is a program EIR and identifies the potential unavoidable significant adverse impacts from long-term development in the City. The City of Torrance proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
