Draft Environmental Impact Report
Project Description: The Project proposed to develop a mixed-use development (Project) on a 0.38-acre site located at 319-323 5th Street and 440-442 S. Hill Street (Project Site) within the Central City Community Plan area. The project would result in the development of a vacant site with a high-rise mixed-use building consisting of a mix of optional hotel use and residential condominiums, with restaurant and bar uses, as well as associated parking and amenities. The applicant is requesting two programming options to provide flexibility due to changing market demands: Option A with hotel, residential, bar, and restaurant uses; and Option B with residential, bar, and restaurant uses. The proposed uses would be located within a 53 story building that would comprise up to 260,689 square feet of floor area under Option A and 260,689 square feet of floor area under Option B.
Anticipated Environmental Effects: Based on the analysis included in the Draft EIR, the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to: On-Site Construction Noise and Vibration impacts with respect to human annoyance. All other potential impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to less than significant levels.
