ITEM: 1633 Victory Boulevard DRB Case No. 2101078 PROJECT DESCRIPTION To modify a previously approved three-story hotel project on a 21,647 square-foot lot, located in the C3 (Height District I) Zone. A 35,575 square-foot, 64-room hotel with a two- level subterranean garage with 64 parking spaces and a total export of 12,348 cubic yards of soil was approved with conditions by the Design Review Board (DRB) in January 2019, and appealed to City Council (the “Original Project”). In May 2019, City Council voted to adopt the MND and sustain the DRB’s approval. AV Hospitality, LLC is proposing to revise the Original Project by expanding the building to accommodate an additional 18 guest rooms and increasing the building square footage by 6,735 square feet (the “Revised Project”). The Revised Project would still be three-stories, but would expand the building footprint towards the northern interior property line and revise the interior setback from 15-feet to -11 feet; it would eliminate portions of the Outdoor Terrace located above the one-story volume at the eastern building elevation. The Revised Project would consist of 82 rooms, 42,310 square feet, and include a two-level subterranean garage with 67 instead of 64 parking spaces. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION A Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated April 28, 2022 to May 19, 2022 for a 20-day review period. The Proposed Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration and all documents referenced therein are available for review in the Community Development Department, Planning Division office, Room 103 of the Municipal Services Building, 633 East Broadway, Glendale, CA 91206 or on the Planning Division website at: http://www.glendaleca.gov/environmental 7.

This is a second submittal for Final Review; on February 24, 2022, the DRB voted to “Return for Redesign”. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The project is exempt from CEQA review as a Class 3 “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures” exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project involves construction of a new restaurant that does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances and does not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area. 8.
