P2024-0306-ZCA

The City Council is pleased to invite your participation in a Public Hearing concerning the following:

WHO:

The City of Culver City Current Planning Division

WHAT:

The City is updating its Affordable Housing Density Bonus ordinance to align with State Law and the goals of the 2045 General Plan and to support the increased production of affordable housing. The update involves a Zone Text Amendment introducing additional density bonus programs and Community Benefit Bonuses. Updates also include an increase in the number of concessions/incentives a developer may request.

PROJECT TITLE: Citywide Affordable Housing Density Bonus Update

WHERE:

REGULAR MEETING – Attend in-person or virtually via Zoom 

City Hall – Mike Balkman Council Chambers, 9770 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232

WHEN:

Monday, March 17, 2025, at 7 PM.

WHY:

The purpose of the Public Hearing is for the City Council to review and receive public input on the Affordable Housing Density Bonus update, and act on the text amendment.

CEQA:

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) statutes, a Finding of Consistency (FOC) has been prepared pursuant to the applicable provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. The FOC describes the Revised Density Bonus Program and compares its impacts to those identified in the Final Culver City General Plan 2045 and Zoning Code Update Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2022030144), which was certified in July 2024, to determine whether the Proposed Project would have new or increased significant environmental impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan EIR. The FOC analysis demonstrates that the Proposed Project is consistent with the Culver City General Plan and with the Certified EIR.  

The Culver City Agenda and Project staff report will be available for viewing at City Hall and online no later than 72 hours prior to the meeting date and time.
