The location is depicted on the map identified as Exhibit "A."

This specific plan area is an instrument for guiding, coordinating and regulating development as authorized in Article 8 of Chapter 3 of the State Planning and Zoning Law. In the specific plan area zone, no building shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed or structurally altered, nor shall any building or land be used, except as hereinafter specifically provided and allowed by this chapter and by other relevant chapters of the Norwalk Municipal Code.

The purpose of the specific plan area is to facilitate the systematic implementation of the general plan and to serve as a basis for review of more detailed plans. It is intended to establish a pattern for the appropriate design, arrangement and relationship of buildings, open space, circulation, land use and other features as necessary to coordinate development and achieve a functionally and visually integrated development. It is also intended to assure adequate design and controls to mitigate factors such as noise, vibration, dust, odors, and visual features detrimental to the project and its residents, tenants or users. It is intended to capitalize upon certain special qualities and opportunities of a designated area while permitting a degree of flexibility favorable to unique and imaginative designs. It is further intended to encourage and promote a high quality of design and environment.

Specific plan area No. 1 consists of slightly more than 20 acres of topographically flat land and constitutes an extension of the existing Civic Center complex which includes both public and private buildings. The subject area consists of the former Wright Intermediate School, which is no longer in active use and has been declared surplus by the Norwalk La Mirada School District, and an adjacent parcel owned by the Southern California Water Company. The subject area is ideally situated being adjacent to the heavily traveled Santa Ana Freeway, which serves as the primary freeway connecting Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The site is also located at the fringe of a developing Civic Center complex. The subject property is unique in that the majority of the site is under single ownership.

The Santa Ana Freeway is adjacent to the southwesterly portion of the area and affords the area ready visibility from the freeway. Freeway access to the area is provided by an existing ramp system using the San Antonio Drive-Norwalk Boulevard corridor.

A major highway, the San Antonio Drive-Norwalk Boulevard corridor is adjacent to the west side of the area and is fully improved including landscaped medians. It serves to link the Civic Center complex with central portions of the City. Civic Center Drive is adjacent to the north side of the area and is fully improved. It serves as a collector road within the Civic Center complex. Volunteer Avenue and Dace Street are local streets along the easterly and southerly sides of the area, respectively.

Existing development on the west side of Norwalk Boulevard consists of a mixture of uses, including office buildings, apartments and commercial uses. The Civic Center complex lies on the north side of Civic Center Drive. Existing development consists of several high rise buildings, including the seven story Southeast Superior Court building, the six-story IBM Corporation office building, and two seven-story office buildings at the Bechtel Power Corporation's complex. Norwalk City Hall, the Norwalk branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library and the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Substation are also located in this area. Along the east and a portion of the south sides of the area, existing development consists of single-family residences.

Specific plan area No. 1 is of critical importance to the long-term future of the City of Norwalk as a result of its location, size, ownership and potential, indicating that a maximum effort to capitalize on these opportunities, is essential. The major objectives of this specific plan area are as follows:

In order to effectively achieve the foregoing objectives, the following policies shall be applied in designing, managing, and regulating developments and uses within specific plan area No. 1.

The map entitled "Illustrative Plan, Specific Plan Area No. 1" is adopted as part of the specific plan area and is attached as Exhibit "B." This illustrative plan represents a concept for implementation of the objectives, policies, standards and regulations of this specific plan area, and is not necessarily intended to serve as a guide for development.

This specific plan area provides for the following categories of land uses: hotel, office, retail, accessory commercial, residential condominiums and water wells and appurtenant structures. Uses shall be located as shown on Exhibit "A."

In the specific plan area No. 1 zone, the following uses may be permitted subject to any conditions deemed necessary to accomplish the objectives and policies of this specific plan area:

All uses are prohibited unless provided for and authorized under the specific plan area. Under no circumstances shall the following uses or activities be permitted either as a principal or accessory use:

The following site development standards shall apply to areas designated for commercial and parking/utility uses as depicted on Exhibit "A." In conjunction with the review of a conditional use permit or precise development plan, conditions establishing additional or more stringent site development standards may be applied if deemed necessary to assure the attainment of objectives and policies expressed within this specific plan area.

The following standards shall apply to the portion of the specific plan area No. 1 designated for residential development:

If the City determines that consultant services are necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of or to a proposed or existing use, the City may retain an expert consultant or consultants to study and report on the compliance or noncompliance of the proposed or existing use with required standards, and to advise how a proposed or existing use, if found to be at variance, can be brought into compliance with standards.

Such consultants shall be fully qualified to provide the required information and shall be persons or firms mutually agreeable to the Director of the Department of Community Development and to the owner or operator of the use in question. In the event of inability to select a mutually agreeable consultant, the City shall select the consultant. The cost of the consultant's services shall be borne by the owner or developer of the property in question, who shall file with the City a bond in an amount not to exceed $10,000 to guarantee payment of such costs. The owner or developer of the use in question shall be required to comply with any reasonable request for information considered useful by the consultant in determining the environmental impact of a proposed use. Failure to provide any required bond or information shall constitute a violation of this code and shall constitute cause for denying a precise development plan application or other City permits.

Any expansion of the boundaries or any amendment to the objectives, policies, standards, and regulations of this specific plan area shall be accomplished in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 17.02, Article I of the Norwalk Municipal Code.

In order to equitably and effectively protect public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community in conjunction with development and use of the specific plan area property, compliance with other applicable provisions of the Norwalk Municipal Code shall be required as deemed appropriate.

If any part or provision of this plan, or any application thereof, is held to be contrary to law by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision or application will not be deemed valid and subsisting, excepting to the extent permitted by law, but all other provisions or applications will continue in full force and effect.
