 Commission (LACPC), and Appeal filed by Supporters Alliance for
 Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) (Representative: Victoria Yundt,
 Lozeau Drury LLP), from the determination of the LACPC in approving a
 Site Plan Review, pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 16.05,
 for a development project that creates or results in an increase of 50 or
 more dwelling units or guest rooms; Construction of a five­story, 56­foot tall
 mixed­use residential building comprising 132 dwelling units (including 18
 Very Low­Income units) and 5,444 square feet of ground­floor commercial
 space. The Project will be approximately 85,793 square feet in floor area
 with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.6: 1. The Project will provide 97
 residential and 16 commercial parking spaces in a subterranean and
 partial at­grade parking level. The site is currently improved with three
 single­family dwellings with warehouse/commercial uses, and two non­
 protected on­site trees, all of which will be demolished. An existing wireless
 telecommunications facility (cell tower) is proposed to remain. Three non­
 protected street trees may be removed from the public right­of­way. The
 Project assumes a worst­case scenario of removing all street trees, in the
 event of changes to the right­of­way improvement plans after approval of
 the environmental clearance. However, this environmental analysis does
 not authorize the removal of any street trees without prior approval of Urban
 Forestry, in compliance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 62.169
 and 62.170 and their applicable findings. The Project will also involve the
 grading of approximately 12,000 cubic yards of soil; for the properties
 located at 1218 ­ 1238 West Manchester Avenue, subject to Conditions of
 Approval.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE (TRS) COMMUNICATIONS

Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability, may be able to avail themselves of both for
peer­to­peer and third­party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a
telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in
all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers ­
generally telephone companies ­ are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no
cost to the TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English Language Relay
Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail
descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications­relay­service­trs.

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the caller is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello, this is the relay
service…" when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is deaf,
hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.

For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities, visit the
FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

 Commission (LACPC), and Appeal filed by Supporters Alliance for
 Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) (Representative: Victoria Yundt,
 Lozeau Drury LLP), from the determination of the LACPC in approving a
 Site Plan Review, pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 16.05,
 for a development project that creates or results in an increase of 50 or
 more dwelling units or guest rooms; Construction of a five­story, 56­foot tall
 mixed­use residential building comprising 132 dwelling units (including 18
 Very Low­Income units) and 5,444 square feet of ground­floor commercial
 space. The Project will be approximately 85,793 square feet in floor area
 with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.6: 1. The Project will provide 97
 residential and 16 commercial parking spaces in a subterranean and
 partial at­grade parking level. The site is currently improved with three
 single­family dwellings with warehouse/commercial uses, and two non­
 protected on­site trees, all of which will be demolished. An existing wireless
 telecommunications facility (cell tower) is proposed to remain. Three non­
 protected street trees may be removed from the public right­of­way. The
 Project assumes a worst­case scenario of removing all street trees, in the
 event of changes to the right­of­way improvement plans after approval of
 the environmental clearance. However, this environmental analysis does
 not authorize the removal of any street trees without prior approval of Urban
 Forestry, in compliance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 62.169
 and 62.170 and their applicable findings. The Project will also involve the
 grading of approximately 12,000 cubic yards of soil; for the properties
 located at 1218 ­ 1238 West Manchester Avenue, subject to Conditions of
 Approval.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE (TRS) COMMUNICATIONS

Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability, may be able to avail themselves of both for
peer­to­peer and third­party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a
telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in
all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers ­
generally telephone companies ­ are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no
cost to the TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English Language Relay
Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail
descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications­relay­service­trs.

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the caller is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello, this is the relay
service…" when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is deaf,
hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability.

FCC's Disability Rights Office website.
