commercial, residential, and institutional buildings, and the subject site is of similar size and slope to nearby properties. The project site
is located in a typical urbanized area of the South Los Angeles Community Plan, and the project would be consistent with the designated

unusual for the vicinity of the site and is similar in scope to other existing mixed-use developments in the area. Furthermore, there is not
a reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project
s!te is not located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. (d) Scenic Highways: The project is not in the vicinity of a state sce~ic

SurveyLA, and/or Historic Places LA, a portion of the project site is identified as a contributor in the Harvard Heights HPOZ; however,
there are no changes or improvements to the exterior of the property including facades, hardscape, landscape and fences. Therefore,
the change of use to a daycare is not considered a Project per the Harvard Heights HPOZ as identified in the HPOZ Referral Form signed
on December 15, 2025. The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
