II POTENTIAL MITIGATION MEASURES WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED.

In reviewing the above information, the decision-maker shall consider imposing one or more of thefollowing additional mitigations (see the attached list entitled “Proposed Mitigation MeasuresList’) in deciding whether to grant the Project Permit Compliance approval:

Proposed Mitigation Measures List

1. TRANSPORTATION

A. Payment of a Residential Trip Fee based upon the number of PM Trips generatedby the proposed Project (as determined by DOT using the appropriate Trip generation ratesin the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Handbook 7th Edition) appliedagainst the Trip rate for non-residential, non-office Projects per Section 11.G.3.a of theSpecific Plan.

B. For those Projects assessed no Residential Trip Fee, a contribution, as determined by theDepartment of Transportation, to the development and implementation of a local circulatorbus system shall be required.

C. Membership in the Warner Center Transportation Management Organization (WCTMO)for, at minimum, three (3) years.

request.• Follow-up contacts with Warner Center area employers.• Maintain a log of all responses received, to be provided to the City upon request.

This WFUOP shall include a requirement on all residential Projects for an occupantsurvey. This survey shall be conducted on an annual basis to determine how manyof the units are occupied by requisite “Qualified Occupant” categories. The resultsof the annual survey shall be submitted to the decision-maker for review andinclusion in the administrative file.

4. Enforcement of Work Force Housing.

a. Covenant and Agreement.

Page -5-

Prior to the issuance of any building permit of an apartment Project, the owner ofthe Project shall record a covenant on the property that requires for a minimumperiod of 30 years both for the provision of the requisite number of reserved dwelling units, including the maintenance of the required rent or lease and for themarketing of those units per the approved WFUOP .

It is the responsibility of the owner of the Project to notify LAHDof any changes in the building that may affect compliance, such as change ofownership, management agent or on-site manager, vacancies in reserved units, orchanges in compliance with LAMC requirements. The following are the LAHDrequirements:

• LAHD reviews all tenants’ eligibility for the reserved apartment dwellingunits prior to occupancy.

• LAHD annually review tenants’ eligibility for the reserved apartmentdwelling units.
