FISCAL IMPACT
Once developed, the enhanced recreation land use will reverse the past several years of recurring
operating losses within Golf Course Enterprise Fund and subsidies from General Fund and
Equipment Replacement Fund. The proposed project is anticipated to generate over $1,900,000
annual revenues and investment to General Fund and Golf Course Enterprise Fund, including:
• $1,300,000 ground lease payment for driving range (with a 10% adjustment every five
years);
W
• $200,000 Community Benefit Contribution;
• $200,000 minimum Golf Course and Driving Range Capital Contribution;
• 3% of gross beverage sales at driving range and golf course (with a minimum guarantee of
$200,000 from the driving range);
• $20,000 ground lease payment for golf course (with a 10% adjustment every five years);
• Additional sales tax, property tax, utility user tax, and business license revenues estimated
to be over $50,000.
If, within a seven year period, there are three years of golf course operating shortfalls in excess of
$150,000, the City will absorb the portion above the $150,000. This threshold will adjust by 10%
every five years.
Lessee (CenterCal) will pay, on an annual basis, for the first 1,000 hours of General Fund costs
associated with providing dedicated public safety services. The City and Lessee will share equally
in the costs for dedicated public safety services above 1,000 hours on an annual basis.
The Lessee (CenterCal) and the Licensee (Topgolf) will collectively invest over $40 million in
capital improvements on City -owned properties. In addition to the direct financial benefits, the
proposed recreation use will likely have a positive recurring multiplier benefit to the local
economy.
BACKGROUND
The City -owned recreation property located at 400 South Pacific Coast Highway consists of 26.54
acres and is identified in the attached Location Map and Vicinity Map (Attachment A). The current
driving range and golf course have operated with annual financial losses and experienced
maintenance and capital improvement challenges. Financial subsidies from the General Fund and
Equipment Replacement Fund have been required on a regular basis to help maintain these
recreation uses.
The proposed redevelopment, including recommended modification to the existing golf course,
construction of a new clubhouse and pro shop, and replacement of the existing driving range with
a new first-class Topgolf driving range facility will help turn around the financial and operational
challenges that have plagued this municipal asset for many years.
The proposed Topgolf facility will ensure continued recreation use and provide the community
with a different type of golf experience. For example, golf balls used at the new driving range will
have an embedded micro -chip that automatically registers at targets in the driving range field. A
computer system will track where the balls land and keep score. The proposed development will
also include a first-class banquet facility and offer high quality food and beverage services.
The proposed recreation project and associated environmental documents were initially reviewed
by Planning Commission on June 8, 2017, and July 13, 2017. On September 5, 2017, City Council
certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approved a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP) for The Lakes Specific Plan project. However, City Council did not
take any subsequent action to approve the project. Rather, City Council directed staff to issue a
2
7
Request for Proposals (RFP) to determine whether other recreational uses or projects may be better
suited for the site. City Council further directed staff to seek proposals that would increase
revenues via modifying existing land uses, as long as they complied with existing deed restrictions
associated with the property.
After evaluation of nine proposals, City Council established a subcommittee comprised of
Councilmembers Chris Pimentel and Scot Nicol to negotiate with CenterCal and Topgolf. On
November 21, 2018, CenterCal and Topgolf submitted a letter requesting reconsideration of the
previous The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) and Topgolf project. On December 20, 2018, CenterCal
and Topgolf submitted a slightly modified version (updated prototype) of the project, which varied
from the 2017 project considered by the Planning Commission and analyzed in the previously -
certified EIR. Staff forwarded the modified project to City's environmental consultant on
December 26, 2018. After reviewing the modifications, our consultant determined that all
modifications are adequately covered by the EIR and that no additional California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) analysis is required (See Attachment E).
On January 24, 2019, Planning Commission adopted resolutions recommending that City Council
re -certify the project's EIR and approve the associated entitlement applications. The modified
project is now before the City Council for consideration. The determination as to whether to rezone
and enter into contracts for the ground lease and management of the property associated with the
proposed facilities is considered a legislative act which means it is entirely within City Council's
discretion to approve or deny the proposed project.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The 26.54 acre property is triangle in shape and is currently developed with a publicly -owned golf
course and practice facility. The site consists of a nine -hole executive golf course; a practice
facility that includes a driving range with a 5,953 square -foot two-level structure containing 57
hitting bays; a putting green; clubhouse and associated facilities; and water features. The clubhouse
is a 5,330 square -foot, one-story building which includes a meeting room, restaurant, offices, and
a pro shop.
The golf course currently extends eastward into a 3.58 -acre portion of the Southern California
Edison (SCE) transmission line easement which is subject to an existing easement license
agreement between SCE and the City. Immediately south of the golf course is a 5.3 -acre property
owned by West Basin Municipal Water District which is used for water storage and treatment. A
quarter -acre portion of this property is improved with 27 parking spaces and will continue to be
utilized for parking to support this recreation use.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The requested entitlements include: general plan amendment; zone change; zone text amendment;
specific plan adoption; site plan review; lot line adjustment; and conditional use permit. Based
upon the anticipated improvements to the driving range and golf course, both will continue to be
available to the public.
Proposed Topaolf Driving Range
The new specific plan and land use changes will facilitate construction of a Topgolf driving range
building and surface parking in the CROS sub -area (See Attachment Q. The Topgolf commercial
recreation facility (See Attachment N) will be approximately 67,500 square -feet and will peak at
55 feet in height. There will be approximately 35,000 square -feet of golf hitting bays with private
seating areas immediately behind each of the 102 hitting bays. The new artificial turf on the driving
range will minimize water usage. The facility will also include: approximately 10,000 square feet
of restaurant and bar space; 2,085 square feet of meeting and event area; 1,638 square feet of
office; 522 square feet of lounge; 1,130 square feet of lobby; and approximately 17,000 square
feet of storage and circulation. A third floor 1,400 square foot outdoor terrace and a 5,400 square
foot patio on the lower level will provide additional features. The patio will accommodate live and
recorded music performances. Music providers will be required to connect to an in-house sound
system, allowing staff the ability to control the volume. All speakers will be oriented inward and
down toward the patio floor.
The existing parking lot will be modified and expanded to accommodate the recommended 464
spaces (including 27 spaces on abutting West Basin property) to serve both patrons and employees.
Proposed Golf Course Modifications
The proposal includes new course lighting, and replacement of the clubhouse building and patio,
which will overlook a new putting and chip -shot practice area. The project will also include
modifications to the layouts of several holes at the existing golf course and the existing parking
lots (Attachment D). The existing clubhouse facility, with a restaurant, patio, and a pro shop, will
be replaced with a smaller building that offers the same amenities except the banquet facility
(Attachment O). Proposed renovations to the golf course will include lighting to accommodate
nighttime play and a new and expanded short game area.
Proposed Specific Plan and Land Uses
The proposed land use changes are relatively minor since the Specific Plan area will continue to
have the same general uses—a golf course, driving range, and ancillary uses which will be open
to the general public. However, the driving range will be under a lease agreement rather than a
management agreement and it will be controlled during the lease term by a private entity which
necessitated the Specific Plan, general plan, and zoning amendments. As is detailed in the proposed
agreement, CenterCal, as the lessee, is required to make the driving range available for use by
youth groups, student athletes, residents, and other groups to provide use opportunities that are
similar to those currently available at the driving range.
A specific plan is a general plan option that creates regulations for land uses within a particular
area to meet specific goals and policies. All future development plans and entitlements within the
specific plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in the adopted plan, even
2
M
when they are different from regulations of the City Municipal Code. The Lakes Specific Plan
makes minor changes to the uses and development standards currently applicable at the site. The
Specific Plan document includes a land use plan, description of existing and proposed utilities and
infrastructure, design guidelines, development standards, and administrative provisions.
The general plan amendment application proposes to change the land use designation from Parks
to The Lakes Specific Plan. A zone change from O -S (Open Space) to TLSP (The Lakes Specific
Plan) is also proposed. Two zoning sub -areas, PROS (Public Recreation/Open Space) and CROS
(Commercial Recreation/Open Space) are proposed and illustrated on the following page.
The PROS sub -area encompasses approximately 16 acres on the northern parcel fronting Pacific
Coast Highway. The parcel currently contains a nine -hole executive golf course with clubhouse
and pro shop. All current uses will remain permitted uses. The CROS sub -area encompasses
approximately 10.5 acres on the southern parcel fronting on both Pacific Coast Highway and
Hughes Way. This sub -area allows for a commercial recreation and entertainment facility as well
as for all recreational uses allowed in the PROS sub -area. A zone text amendment to acknowledge
the new TLSP zone is also proposed.
DISCUSSION
On January 24, 2019, Planning Commission recommended certification of the EIR and approval
of the proposed project (Attachments I and J). The following contains a summary of the key project
components:
Environmental Impact Retort (EIR)
Although the Final EIR was certified on September 5, 2017, the City Council's actions did not
result in approval of the project and the necessary findings were not made. Therefore, the
Planning Commission recommended that City Council re -certify the EIR. The EIR documents
are available to view on the Planning Department's website here] (Also see Attachments F and P).
SDecif c Plan
The Lakes Specific Plan provides flexibility to expand existing operations and develop new
facilities. The plan includes a development concept that allows for the Topgolf facility as proposed,
and new land use and zoning categories (Attachment H). Design guidelines are included to ensure
high-quality development, while development standards are included to address lot area, height,
setbacks, floor area, parking, landscaping, and signage.
General Plan Amendment and Zone Chane:
The general plan amendment and zone change establishes TLSP as a new land use and zone. The
TLSP zone will allow the flexibility for The Lakes to expand and offer new uses compatible with
the existing golf course facility and operations (Attachments G and H).

General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The Specific Plan implements the General Plan within the project area. With approval of the
proposed amendment, the Specific Plan will be consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives,
and policies. This will further ensure that the proposed project remains consistent with the General
Plan goals, policies, and objectives.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65358, any mandatory element of the General Plan may be
modified up to four times per calendar year. This amendment represents this year's second
amendment to the Land Use Element. In accordance with Municipal Code Section 15-26-413, the
proposed zone change is necessary to carry out the project because the general plan amendment
changes the land use classification of the project from Parks to The Lakes Specific Plan. As a
result, the proposed zone change is necessary to maintain consistency with the General Plan.
Zone Text Amendment
The proposed zone text amendment will add TLSP zoning designation to the zoning code.
Lot Line Adiustment
The proposed lot line adjustment will reconfigure the two existing parcels so that Topgolf s facility
will be wholly located within the CROS sub -area. The golf course and clubhouse will also be
located within the PROS sub -area. The reconfigured lots will each exceed the minimum lot area
requirement of ten acres.
Site Plan Review
Site plan review is needed for the proposed improvements which include the Topgolf building,
clubhouse, modified golf course holes, course lighting, and parking lot layout. The proposed
development plan is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines.
The zoning code does not contain parking standards for commercial recreational or golf course
uses. As a result, a shared parking demand analysis was conducted by a City -selected consultant
to determine the number of parking spaces necessary to meet the demands of both uses. The
consultant's parking analysis studied two existing Topgolf facilities in Scottsdale and Gilbert,
Arizona because, at that time, they were the closest and most comparable facilities. Based on
parking data gathered for these two sites, which included weekend and weekday peak demand
periods, and factoring in parking required for a nine -hole golf course, the consultant's parking
analysis concluded that the maximum expected parking demand is 464 spaces. The proposed
project's parking spaces will meet this requirement.
Conditional Use Permit
In accordance with TLSP, the project includes a CUP to allow sale of beer, wine, and liquor within
restaurant, bar, and entertainment areas. El Segundo Municipal Code Section 15-23-6 requires
certain findings be made in reference to the property and project under consideration. The Planning
Commission concluded there is adequate evidence to support the required findings and
recommended approval.

IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENTS
West Basin Municival Water District Parkine License Agreement
The proposed recreation project includes continued use of 27 parking spaces on the abutting West
Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) property. The City and West Basin have negotiated
the terms of a draft license agreement allowing the City to maintain and use an existing parking
lot adjacent to the project site (Attachment K). Staff from both organizations are working to clarify
issues related to the use of these parking spaces by patrons and employees.
CenterCal Recreation Ground Lease Aereement
The proposed ground lease between the City and CenterCal will include an initial term of 20 years.
CenterCal will then have six options to extend the agreement by five-year increments, resulting in
a potential total agreement term of 50 years. The property that is the subject of the lease is
specifically identified in Attachment L, Exhibits A-1 and B-1. The lease generally comprises the
current driving range, parking lot, and a portion of the current first and ninth holes at the golf
course.
CenterCal will make annual fixed lease payments of $1,300,000, adjusted every five years by 10%,
and $200,000 yearly payment to the City's General Fund as a community benefit. Additionally,
CenterCal will pay the City 3% of gross revenues received from beverage sales with a minimum
annual payment of $200,000, adjusted every five years by 10%. Accordingly, the City will receive
a minimum of $1,700,000 annual revenues from the lease.
As described above, CenterCal's recreation use of the leased property is limited to a driving range
as the primary use and restaurant, lounge, and banquet facilities are allowed as ancillary uses.
Initially, CenterCal is required to enter into a sublease with Topgolf which will then build and
operate the driving range and ancillary facilities, as well as the improvements to the driving range.
As both CenterCal and Topgolf entities are proposed to be limited liability corporations, a Topgolf-
related entity is issuing a financial guaranty regarding the construction of the facilities as well as
seven years of guaranteed operations (rent payments). In the event that Topgolf ceases to be the
operator/sublessee in the future, CenterCal has the right to bring in a new operator for the driving
range.
For purposes of keeping the driving range available for residents, youth groups, golf instruction,
and student activities that currently occur at the driving range, CenterCal is required to abide by
Golf Course Manual section IX (Recognized Clubs) and section X (Driving Range Operations)
(See Exhibit of Attachment M).
With respect to onsite security issues, CenterCal/Topgolf will provide an onsite private security
plan subject to review and approval by the Chief of Police. In addition, this facility will initially
be staffed with El Segundo police officers on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7:00 PM. to 2:00
AM. CenterCal will be responsible on an annual basis for the fully burdened cost of the first 1,000
hours of police officers' time. CenterCal and City shall split the cost of hours in excess of 1,000
hours. The Police Chief has the authority to adjust the hours of public safety service time based
upon his professional judgment.
For purposes of attempting to have one operator of both the driving range and the golf course,
CenterCal is required to have the sublessee/operator of the driving range execute a separate golf
7
12
course management agreement (to take over the obligations of operating the golf course), so long
as the management agreement has not been otherwise terminated.
Tonp-olf Golf Course Management Avreement
The proposed Golf Course Management Agreement provides that Topgolf will be responsible for
operating a public golf course. Topgolf will have the option to hire a separate management
company to do this. The proposed Golf Course Management Agreement is contemplated to be
coterminous with the lease so that the driving range and golf course will be managed by the same
entity. However, City will have the right, after the first two years of operation, to terminate the
management agreement upon 180 day notice.
As per terms of the agreement, Topgolf will pay City $20,000 a year with a 10% adjustment every
five years, plus 3% of gross beverage revenues. Topgolf will be required make a minimum
$200,000 annual Golf Course and Driving Range Capital Contribution.
If the golf course operates at a loss in excess of $150,000 during three years in any seven year
period, then City is responsible for paying any losses in excess of $150,000 in any subsequent
operating year. The $150,000 threshold figure will adjust by 10% every five years.
The Golf Course Manual establishes uniform rules, procedures, and policies for pro shop
operations, food and beverage operations, course rules, programing, and maintenance standards.
Specifically, the Manual advances the following objectives regarding youth programming:
• To provide young people with the opportunity to participate in the sport of golf;
• To provide young people the opportunity to develop an interest in a life-long sport through
involvement with the schools;
• To create a future interest in golf by providing opportunities for young people to learn the
game; and
• To ensure that there is an ongoing program of education and development of juniors
interested in golf (Attachment M, sections X and XI)
Topgolf will provide resident discounted rates and early access at the driving range and golf course.
It is anticipated that Topgolf will contract with a golf course operating company to run the day to
day operations. As a result, the City Manager needs to be authorized to amend the current
management agreement with Lane Donovan Golf Partners. In order to ensure a seamless and
timely transition, the requested amendment will reduce the 120 -day notice of termination
requirement to 45 days. The owners of Lane Donovan were informed of the proposed amendment
and are amenable to these terms.
CONCLUSION
After seven years of thorough due diligence, numerous public meetings, a comprehensive bidding
process which resulted in nine strong proposals, and extensive negotiations, a high-quality
recreation development for The Lakes at El Segundo has been prepared for City Council
consideration at this time. The proposed design of this project was overseen by a nine -member Ad
13
Hoc Golf Course Design Task Force which was established in 2016. This Task Force was made
up of members of the Golf Course Subcommittee, City Council, Economic Development Advisory
Council, Golf Course Management Company, and Lakes golf professionals. A subsequent six -
member Ad Hoc Lakes RFP Task Force was established in 2018 to assist in the development of
the project's Request for Proposals (RFP) and to review the proposals submitted. This Task Force
was made up of members from Recreation & Park Commission, Planning Commission, Economic
Development Advisory Council, Golf Course Subcommittee, and a Chevron representative. In
addition, City Council established a separate Ad Hoc City Council Committee consisting of
Councilmembers Scot Nicol and Chris Pimentel to negotiate with CenterCal and Topgolf
representatives to obtain the proposed Recreation Ground Lease Agreement and Golf Course
Management Agreement which is now before City Council.
In addition to the use of citizen task forces and a City Council Committee, outside consultants
played an important role throughout this process. For example, the consulting firm of CDB Golf
Properties provided insightful advice during the preparation of the project's RFP, review of the
nine proposals submitted, and preparation of the requirements for the Golf Course Management
Agreement. The financial advisory consulting firm of Keyser Marston Associates (lead by Senior
Principal Jim Rabe) provided invaluable financial review and guidance during the negotiation
process. As a result of this thoroughly vetted effort, the proposed agreements represent a "win-
win" outcome in terms of providing first-class physical improvements to the public golf course
and driving range, high quality recreation services, significant financial benefits to the City's
General Fund over an extended time frame, and a substantial multiplier effect on the local El
Segundo economy.
In many ways, this unique project represents an innovative "public-private partnership" that has
the potential to provide public recreation, aesthetic, financial, and economic benefits to the
community for many years to come. This is rare moment in the City's history. As a result of the
totality of the situation, staff is recommending approval of all the actions requested at the beginning
of this staff report.
NEXT STEPS/TIMELINE
Once approved by City Council, it is estimated it will take up to 17 months for the reconfigured
golf course and new driving range facility to open to the public. A detailed timeline will be
presented at the October 15 City Council meeting.
The proposed Recreation Ground Lease Agreement has a number of conditions that will need to
be satisfied prior to CenterCal acquiring a leasehold interest in the property. CenterCal will
conduct soils/environmental testing, review issues potentially affecting title to the property, and
other typical property -related due diligence. CenterCal, Topgolf, and City will need to resolve a
variety of issues described throughout this staff report. The City will also need to confirm that the
Topgolf guaranty adequately insures the improvements to both golf course and driving range will
be constructed. In addition, the seven years of Topgolf s guaranteed performance requirement
(rent) will need to be confirmed. Finally, CenterCal needs to provide construction plans, hire a
contractor, and issue its final determination that it will proceed with the project as approved.
Staff will provide regular updates to City Council and the public via the City's website.

MEMORANDUM
Mr. Eduardo Schonborn, Principal Planner
To: City of EI Segundo
Rita Garcia
From: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
Date: January 8, 2019
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project, 400 South Sepulveda Blvd.
Subject: proposed Modified Project CEQA Compliance Review
1.0 INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE
This memorandum is prepared to present the findings resulting from the CEQA compliance
review of the Proposed Modified Project, as described below. The purpose of the CEQA
compliance review is to evaluate the Proposed Modified Project to determine if any of the
conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum
EIR have been met pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15162, Subsequent EIRs and
Negative Declarations, State CEQA Guidelines §15163, Supplement to an EIR, and State
CEQA Guidelines §15164, Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration, respectively. This
memorandum is also prepared to present the recommendations concerning the Proposed
Modified Project's CEQA compliance.
2.0 STATUTORY AUTHORITY & REQUIREMENTS
State CEQA Guidelines §15090, Certification of the Final EIR, specifies that prior to
approving a project, the Lead Agency shall certify that:
1. The final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA;
2. The final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the Lead Agency, and
that the decision-making body reviewed and considered the information contained in
the final EIR prior to approving the project; and
3. The final EIR reflects the Lead Agency's independent judgment and analysis.
26
On September 5, 2017, the EI Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 5054 certifying
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project Environmental Impact Report (EA -1135) (Final
EIR) in compliance with State CEQA Guidelines §15090 requirements.
State CEQA Guidelines §15091, Findings, specifies that no public agency shall approve or
carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant
environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written
findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the
rationale for each finding. The Final EIR was certified, as noted above; however, the
September 5, 2017 actions did not include Project approval and the necessary findings have
not been made.
The provisions of State CEQA Guidelines §15162, §15163, and §15164 apply when the
project being analyzed is a change to, or further approval for, a project for which an EIR was
previously certified.
According to State CEQA Guidelines §15162, Subsequent EIRs and Negative
Declarations, when an EIR has been certified, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that
project unless the Lead Agency determines, based on substantial evidence in the light of the
whole record, one or more of the following has occurred:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of
the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project
is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative
Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have
been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was
certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the
following:
A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
EIR or negative declaration;
B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
shown in the previous EIR;
C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in
fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
27
the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative; or
D. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative.
State CEQA Guidelines §15163, Supplement to an EIR, specifies that the Lead Agency
may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if:
1. Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a
subsequent EIR, and
2. Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR
adequately apply to the project in the changed situation.
State CEQA Guidelines §15164, Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration, specifies
that the Lead Agency shall prepare an addendum if some changes or additions are necessary
but none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §15162 calling for preparation
of a subsequent EIR have occurred.
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Proposed Project
EIR Section 3.0 describes the originally proposed Project analyzed in the certified EIR,
hereinafter referred to as the "Proposed Project." The Proposed Project involved
approximately 31 acres located at 400 South Sepulveda Boulevard. The Proposed Project
would have replaced the existing driving range and hitting bays (at The Lakes at EI Segundo)
with a three-story Topgolf facility. To accommodate the Topgolf facility, the Project would have
modified three holes at the existing golf course and existing parking lot. Within the northern
portion of the Project site, the existing clubhouse facility, patio, storage building, and
associated amenities would have been demolished and replaced with a new smaller Pro Shop
building, restaurant/bar/kitchen, outdoor patio/dining area, lobby, office, and storage,
circulation, and miscellaneous space. Additional Proposed Project improvements included
installing new lighting and screening poles and replacing existing net poles and driving range
grass with high density fiber turf. The requested Proposed Project entitlements included:
General Plan Amendment No. GPA 16-01; General Plan Map Amendment; Zone Change No.
ZC 16-01; Zoning Map Change; Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04; The Lakes Specific
Plan No. SP 16-02; Site Plan No. 16-01; Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03; and Conditional
Use Permit No. CUP 16-05.
The Lakes Specific Plan would have established two subareas: Public Recreation/Open
Space (PR/OS) Subarea; and Commercial-Recreation/Open Space (CR/OS) Subarea. The
PR/OS Subarea, which encompasses approximately 16.06 acres on the northern parcel
fronting onto Sepulveda Boulevard, would have allowed for several public recreational uses.
The CR/OS Subarea, which encompasses approximately 10.49 acres on the southern parcel
fronting on both Sepulveda Boulevard and a small "L-shaped" portion fronting on Hughes
Way, would have allowed a commercial recreation and entertainment facility, and other
recreational uses allowed in the PR/OS Subarea.
Table 1, Land Use Summarv, summarizes the Proposed Project development according to
land use categories. As indicated in Table 1, the Proposed Project analyzed in the EIR would
have allowed for approximately 70,680 gross square feet (GSF) (61,315 net square feet
(NSF)) of new development.
The EIR evaluated the environmental issues identified below and concluded that no Proposed
Project impacts would be significant and unavoidable.
1. Air Quality
2. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
3. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
4. Hydrology and Water Quality
5. Land Use and Planning
6. Noise
7. Public Services and Recreation
8. Transportation and Traffic
9. Utilities and Service Systems
Following compliance with the established regulatory framework and implementation of the
recommended mitigation measures, Proposed Project impacts would be reduced to less than
significant levels.
3.2 Proposed Modified Project
The Project Applicant is considering modifications to the Proposed Project, all within the
CR/OS Subarea. No modifications to the Proposed Project PR/OS Subarea are proposed.
Additionally, no different/additional entitlements are requested. The current proposal,
hereinafter referred to as the "Proposed Modified Project," is presented in the December 2018
Project plans and documentation (Area Group Architects, Inc., December 2018 and January
2019). Table 1 summarizes the Proposed Modified Project development and compares it to
the Proposed Project analyzed in the Final EIR. As indicated in Table 1, the Proposed
Modified Project would allow for approximately 71,031 GSF (61,239 NSF) of new
development or an increase of 351 GSF (a decrease of 76 NSF), as compared to the
Proposed Project.
29
4.0 FINDINGS CONCERNING CEQA COMPLIANCE
This section provides a comparative review of the Proposed Modified Project and Proposed
Project.
It is noted, The Lakes at EI Segundo continues to operate as, a publicly -owned golf course
and practice facility, as described in EIR Section 3. No substantial changes concerning nearby
land uses (e.g., no substantial new or change in existing) have occurred, since certification of
the Final EIR. Therefore, concerning the circumstances under which the Project Modified
Project is undertaken, no new substantial changes have occurred that would require major
revisions to the previous EIR.
As indicated in Table 1. the Proposed Modified Project involves an approximately 351 -SF
increase in gross floor area and an approximately 76 -SF decrease in net floor area. The
Proposed Modified Project would decrease the floor area in all land use categories, except
Recreation (hitting bays), Circulation Space, and Miscellaneous (restrooms, stairs, etc.),
which would increase by 2,686 GSF, 1,550 GSF, and 427 GSF, respectively. Additionally, a
5,518 -SF patio is proposed on the ground level- no patio was previously proposed. Overall,
the Proposed Modified Project involves the following redistribution of floor space:
• The upper level roof terrace would decrease from 2,687 GSF to 1,364 GSF,
• The previously proposed 2,084-GSF bar on the middle level is excluded and a new
1,648-GSF bar is proposed on the upper level,
• The previously proposed middle level 2,897-GSF of event space is excluded, and
2,085 GSF of new event space is proposed on the upper level,
• A new 1,466 -SF kitchen and 960 -SF dining area are proposed on the middle level- no
kitchen or dining area were previously proposed on the middle level,
• The ground level kitchen would decrease from 2,410 SF to 1,346 SF,
• A new 1,936 -SF bar is proposed on the ground level- no bar was previously proposed
on the ground level,
• The ground level 1,655 -SF lounge area is excluded, and
• The upper level 240 -SF lounge area is excluded.
As addressed below, the increased Recreation, Circulation Space, and Miscellaneous floor
area would not involve substantial changes to the Proposed Project and no additions/revisions
to the previous EIR are needed. The Final EIR analyses and conclusions adequately apply to
the Proposed Modified Project. Additionally, the proposed modifications would not result in
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects. These findings are based on the following factors:
30
• The Proposed Modified Project generally involves only a redistribution of floor space,
as discussed above- no new or dissimilar land uses are proposed.
• Although the Recreation category would increase by 2,686 GSF, as with the Proposed
Project, the Proposed Modified Project would have 34 hitting bays on each level (102
total). The increase in SF is associated with the provision of a circulation aisle behind
the seating area. No substantial change in this key Project component is proposed.
• The approximately 351-GSF increase represents an approximately one-half percent
increase over the Proposed Project's 70,680 GSF, which is considered negligible.
Moreover, the additional Circulation (1,550 SF) and Miscellaneous (427 SF) floor
areas are "back of the house" and accessory- not main Project areas.
• To determine the trip generation associated with the Proposed Project (i.e., Topgolf
facility), two existing Topgolf facilities like the Proposed Project were identified to
conduct sample trip generation counts. The sites were selected based in various
factors including similarity to the Proposed Project facility, geographic location,
environmental settings, and feasibility to isolate the trip generation associated with
Topgolf employees, users, and patrons. Because the Proposed Modified Project
involves redistribution of floor space and no substantial changes, the two existing
Topgolf facilities are also applicable and representative of the Proposed Modified
Project. Additionally, the Proposed Project Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) (see EIR
Appendix H) concluded the Proposed Project trip generation analysis was
conservative concerning the following factors, which would be equally conservative for
the Proposed Modified Project:
1. The Proposed Project TIA utilized the highest trip generation, which was measured
on peak operating days at two existing 65,000 -SF Topgolf facilities- representative
of the Proposed Project facilities. The TIA also utilized the lowest trip generation
(measured at The Lakes driving range on non -peak operating days) to account for
the displaced driving range. Thus, the Proposed Project was conservatively
forecast to generate approximately 2,241 weekday daily trips and approximately
3,766 weekend daily trips.
2. The TIA's future growth forecasts for the study area Forecast Near -Term Without
Project traffic volumes were derived by applying an annual growth rate of 0.26
percent per year over a two-year period to existing traffic volumes to account for
background and cumulative growth in 2018. The TIA concluded this was a
conservative assumption since the growth rate is applied to all movements at the
study intersections.
31
Overall, concerning traffic impacts, the Final EIR analyses and conclusions adequately
apply to the Proposed Modified Project given the two existing 65,000 -SF Topgolf
facilities, which are the basis for the TIA, are also representative of the Proposed
Modified Project facilities. Additionally, the Proposed Modified Project primarily
involves redistribution of floor space and generally the same development intensity as
the Proposed Project (i.e., the increase in gross floor area would be nominal given it
constitutes only approximately one-half percent increase).
• The Proposed Modified Project's impacts concerning the other key environmental
issues (i.e., Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous
Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Public
Services and Recreation, and Utilities and Service Systems) would be like the
Proposed Project's given the Proposed Modified Project would:
o Involve the same development footprint,
o Involve the same land use types,
o Involve generally the same intensity- the increase in gross floor area would be
nominal given it constitutes only approximately one-half percent increase over
the Proposed Project.
Therefore, the previous EIR impact analyses and conclusions concerning these
environmental issues adequately apply to the Proposed Modified Project.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall and as is evidenced by the factors presented above, the Proposed Modified Project
changes are not substantial, as compared to the Proposed Project, and no additions/revisions
to the previous EIR are needed. The proposed modifications would not result in new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects. Additionally, no new information of substantial importance shows the
Proposed Modified Project would result in new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. Therefore, the
Proposed Modified Project changes do not meet any of the conditions requiring preparation
of a subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum EIR. The prior EIR analyses and
conclusions adequately apply to the Proposed Modified Project.
Although the Final EIR was certified on September 5, 2017, the City Council's actions did not
include Project approval and the necessary findings were not made. Therefore, prior to
approving the Proposed Modified Project, it is recommended that the City recertify the prior
EIR and make the necessary findings pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §§15090 and
32
15091. Additionally, given the time that has elapsed since the earlier public hearings, it is
recommended that an extensive public hearing/noticing process occur, including but not
limited to, noticing all organizations and individuals who previously requested notice,
commented on the Project, or attended a public hearing. Finally, it is recommended that the
City's CEQA Attorney review/approve these recommendations.

D. The City prepared an Initial Environmental Study (the "Initial Study") for the
Project pursuant to Section 15063 of the CEQA Guidelines, and on
September 1, 2016, the Initial Study (IS) and Notice of Preparation (NOP)
were released to the public and public agencies for a comment period of 33
days (through October 3, 2016). On September 1, 2016, a Public Notice
was mailed to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject
property, the Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald, and the Notice
was posted on the City's website. Lastly, a copy of the Initial Study was
made available at the public counter at City Hall and the local library, and
was made available on the City's website for the public to download and
review;
E. On September 8, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public
scoping meeting to provide a forum for agencies and members of the
community to provide verbal comments on the IS/NOP;
F. After the NOP comment period ended, the Draft EIR was prepared taking
the comments into account. After completing the Draft EIR, the document
was made available to the public on January 26, 2017 for a 47 -day public
comment period that concluded on March 13, 2017;
G. On February 2, 2017, City Staff hosted a noticed public commenting session
to provide the public with an opportunity to submit verbal comments, in
addition to the typical written comments, on the Draft EIR. Advertisement
of the public commenting session was provided by a Notice published in the
El Segundo Herald, a Notice mailed to all property owners within a 300 -foot
radius, a Notice posted at The Lakes clubhouse facility, and a Notice was
posted on the City's website;
H. On May 25, 2017, the Final EIR was completed and Notice was provided
via mail to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the subject site,
and on May 25, 2017 a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald
announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on June 8, 2017 to review the Final EIR and the entitlement
applications for the proposed project;
On June 8, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant;
J. On June 8, 2017, at the request of the Applicant, the Planning Commission
continued the public hearing to June 22, 2017;
K. On June 22, 2017, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing
to July 13, 2017;
6A
L. On July 13, 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of EI Segundo
adopted Resolution No. 2820, recommending that the City Council certify
the EIR, make certain environmental findings of fact, and adopt a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf
Project;
M. The City Council of the City of EI Segundo held a duly noticed public hearing
on September 5, 2017, to review and consider the staff report prepared for
the project, receive public testimony, and review all correspondence
received on the project;
N. On September 5, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5054,
certifying the EIR, making certain environmental findings of fact, and
adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes
Specific Plan and Topgolf Project;
O. On October 3, 2017, the City Council considered the entitlements
associated with the project, such as a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, Zone Text Amendment, Lakes Specific Plan, Lot Line Adjustment
and Conditional Use Permit for the TopGolf Project; however, motions to
approve the Ordinance project failed, and the City Council did not approve
the project;
P. Subsequently, in late 2017 and early 2018, the City Council directed staff to
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakes golf course to determine
whether other recreational uses or projects might be conducted on the
Property;
Q. In September 2018, the City Council selected the proposed
Applicant/Developer and Topgolf project as one of two finalists and the
parties are attempting to negotiate a lease with respect to the operation of
the Lakes;
R. On November 21, 2018, the Applicant filed a request that the City
reconsider the proposed Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf project as
presented and analyzed in 2017;
S. On December 20, 2018, the Applicant submitted a slightly modified version
of the project, which included the following modifications:
• The upper level roof terrace would decrease from 2,687 GSF to 1,364
GSF,
• The previously proposed 2,084-GSF bar on the middle level is excluded
and a new 1,648-GSF bar is proposed on the upper level,
• The previously proposed middle level 2,897-GSF of event space is
excluded, and 2,085 GSF of new event space is proposed on the upper
level,
W11
47
• A new 1,466 -SF kitchen and 960 -SF dining area are proposed on the
middle level- no kitchen or dining area were previously proposed on the
middle level,
• The ground level kitchen would decrease from 2,410 SF to 1,346 SF,
• A new 1,936 -SF bar is proposed on the ground level- no bar was
previously proposed on the ground level,
• The ground level 1,655 -SF lounge area is excluded, and
• The upper level 240 -SF lounge area is excluded.
T. On January 8, 2019, the City's environmental consultant completed an
independent review of the modified project and determined that no new
significant environmental impacts would result, the modifications would not
increase the severity of any effects previously identified in the EIR, and the
modified project generally involves a redistribution of floor space with no
new or dissimilar land uses proposed. Thus, the City's environmental
consultant concluded that the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
U. On January 10, 2019, a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald and
Notice mailed to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject
property, announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on January 24, 2019, to consider the proposed modified
project;
V. On January 24, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant; and,
W. This Resolution, and its findings, are made, in part, based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its June 8, and July 13,
2017 public hearings and upon the evidence presented to the City Council
at its September 5, 2017 public hearing including, and based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its January 24, 2019
public hearing and upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its
October 15, 2019 public hearing including, without limitation, the staff
reports, Initial Study, Draft EIR and Final EIR submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. The City Council makes the following
environmental findings:
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064 and 15081, and based upon
information contained in the Initial Study, the City ordered the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Project. The City
contracted with independent consultants for the preparation of the technical
me
studies for the EIR and on September 1, 2016, prepared and sent a Notice
of Preparation of the EIR to responsible, trustee, and other interested
agencies and persons in accordance with Guidelines Section 15082(a).
Comments on the Notice of Preparation were accepted during the 33 -day
comment period ending on October 3, 2016. During the scoping period, the
City held an advertised public meeting on September 8, 2016, to facilitate
public input regarding the scope of the EIR.
B. The City completed the Draft EIR, together with those certain technical
studies (the "Appendices"), on January 26, 2017. The City circulated the
Draft EIR and the Appendices to the public and other interested parties from
January 26, 2017 through March 13, 2017, for a 47 -day comment period.
In addition to receiving written comments submitted during this time, public
comments were received at an advertised public commenting session on
February 2, 2017. Advertisement of the public commenting session was
provided by a Notice published in the El Segundo Herald, a Notice mailed
to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius, a Notice posted at The Lakes
clubhouse facility, and a Notice posted on the City's website.
C. During the Draft EIR public comment period, including at the February 2,
2017 public commenting session, the City received numerous letters and
comments. Responses to each of the individual comments were prepared
and made available on May 25, 2017. The comments and responses are
part of section 11.3 of the Final EIR, and are incorporated herein by
reference. The written responses to comments were made available for
public review in the Planning and Building Safety Department, at the EI
Segundo Public Library and on the City's website. After reviewing the
responses to comments, the revisions to the Draft EIR, and the Final EIR,
the City Council finds that the information and issues raised by the
comments and the responses thereto do not constitute significant new
information requiring recirculation of the EIR.
D. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR, an errata thereto, comments
and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, a list of persons,
organizations and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR, the City's
Responses to Comments, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
E. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the content
of the Final EIR, all written and oral public communications, and all other
evidence in the administrative record. The City Council hereby finds that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment of the City. Although minor revisions have been
made to the Draft EIR in response to comments received during the public
process, no significant new information has been added to the EIR since
public notice was given of the availability of the Draft EIR for public review.
-5-
Consequently, recirculation of the EIR is not required pursuant to Section
15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
F. The comments regarding the Draft EIR and the responses to those
comments were received by the City Council; that the City Council received
documents and public testimony regarding the adequacy of the EIR; and
the City Council has reviewed and considered all such documents,
testimony and the Final EIR prior to making its decision. In accordance with
CEQA Guidelines Section 15090, the City Council hereby finds that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
G. Based upon the Final EIR and the record before the City Council, the
Council finds the Project will not cause any significant environmental
impacts after mitigation. Detailed explanations for why the impacts were
found to be less than significant are contained in the Environmental
Findings of Fact attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution and incorporated
herein by this reference.
H. The EIR describes, and the City Council fully considered, a reasonable
range of alternatives to the Project. On the whole, the proposed Project is
environmentally superior to other feasible alternatives. Thus, all other
alternatives and variations are infeasible or not environmentally preferable
for the reasons set forth in the Environmental Findings of Fact attached as
Exhibit A to this Resolution and incorporated herein.
On the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter, the
Council finds that the proposed Project would not result in temporary or
permanent significant and unavoidable effects for any of the environmental
issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, no Statement of Overriding Considerations is necessary.
J. Although the project has been slightly modified, as described above in
Section 1.S, no new significant environmental impacts result from the
modified project, the modifications do not increase the severity of any
effects previously identified in the EIR, and the modified project generally
involves a redistribution of floor space with no new or dissimilar land uses
proposed. As such, the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
SECTION 3: Based on the foregoing findings and on substantial evidence in the
administrative record as a whole, the City Council adopts the Environmental Findings of
Fact attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, certifies the
Final Environmental Impact Report, and adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein, for The Lakes Specific
Plan and Topgolf Project.
50
SECTION 4: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations
in this Resolution is based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and
written, contained in the entire administrative record relating to the project. The findings
and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City
Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in
the record as a whole.
SECTION 5: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is
based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a
project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not
exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of
knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate
assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve
what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work
within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that
framework.
SECTION 6: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings,
which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The
absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular
finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 8: A copy of this Resolution must be mailed to CenterCal Properties, LLC, and
to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 9: This Resolution is the City Council's final decision and will become effective
immediately upon adoption.

Environmental Findings of Fact
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.
Exhibit A
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS OF FACT
After receiving, reviewing, and considering all the information in the administrative record for
Environmental Assessment (EA) No. 1135, including, without limitation, the factual information
and conclusions set forth in this Resolution and its attachment, the City Council finds, determines,
and declares as follows:
FINDINGS REQUIRED BY CEQA.
Pursuant to Section 15090 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that::
1. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been completed in compliance
with CEQA;
2. The FEIR was presented to the City Council and the Council reviewed and
considered the information contained in the FEIR before approving the Project;
and
3. The FEIR reflects the City Council's independent judgment and analysis.
II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE PROJECT'S POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS.
A. Environmental Effects with No Impacts.
The Initial Study for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project, dated September 2016,
concluded that the Project had no potential to result in significant impacts in several areas.
Having reviewed and considered the entire administrative record of proceedings, the City
Council finds that substantial evidence in the record supports the conclusion that the
Project has no potential to result in significant environmental impacts in the following
areas:
1. Aesthetics (Scenic Vistas; Scenic Resources).
2. Agriculture and Forest Resources.
3. Biological Resources (Riparian Habitat; Federally Protected Wetlands; Movement
of Species; Conflict with Local Policies or Ordinances Protecting Biological
Resources; and Conflict with an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan or Other Plan).
4. Geology and Soils (Rupture of Earthquake Fault; Landslides; and Septic Tanks).
5. Hazards and Hazardous Materials (Safety Hazard from a Private Airstrip; and
Exposure of People or Structures to Wildland Fires).
6. Hydrology and Water Quality (Place Housing or Structures Within a 100 -Year
Flood Hazard; Expose People or Structures to a Significant Risk Involving
Flooding).
54
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
7. Land Use and Planning (Physically Divide an Established Community; Conflict
With a Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan).
8. Mineral Resources.
9. Noise (Excessive Noise Levels in the Vicinity of a Private Airstrip).
10. Population and Housing (Displace Substantial Numbers of People or Existing
Housing).
B. Impacts Identified as Less Than Siqnificant.
The Initial Study concluded that the Project's potential for environmental effects in several
areas would be less than significant. Having reviewed and considered the entire
administrative record of proceedings, the City Council finds that substantial evidence in
the record supports the conclusion that the Project will have less than significant
environmental impacts in the following areas:
1. Aesthetics (Visual Character/Quality; Light and Glare).
2. Air Quality (Objectionable Odors).
3. Biological Resources (Candidate, Sensitive or Special Status Species).
4. Cultural Resources (Historical, Archaeological and Paleontological Resources;
Disturbance of Human Remains).
5. Geology and Soils (Strong Seismic Ground Shaking; Seismic -Related Ground
Failure; Substantial Soil Erosion; Unstable Geologic Unit; Expansive Soils).
6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials (Safety Hazard within an Airport Land Use Plan
or Within Two Miles of a Public or Public Use Airport).
7. Hydrology and Water Quality (Inundation by Seiche, Tsunami, or Mudflow).
8. Noise (Excessive Noise Levels for a Project Located Within an Airport Land Use
Plan, or Within Two Miles of a Public or Public Use Airport).
9. Public Services (Library Facilities).
10. Transportation/Traffic (Change in Air Traffic Patterns; Increased Hazards Due to
Design Feature or Incompatible Use).
C. Impacts Identified as Potentially Sianificant in the Initial Studv But Which Did
Not Exceed Siqnificance Thresholds in the DEIR.
The following environmental effects were identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial
Study. However, after further analysis, it was determined that the effects would not be
significant, since they would not exceed thresholds of significance and no mitigation is
required. Consequently, the City Council finds, based on the evidence in the record as a
whole, that the Project will have less than significant environmental impacts in the
following areas:
2 55
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
1. Air Qualitv
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Air Qualitv Standards — Lona -Term. Project operations will not violate an
air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation. The Project's total unmitigated operational (mobile, area,
and energy source) emissions will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds.
Further, the Project will be required to comply with EI Segundo Municipal
Code (ESMC) Chapter 15-16 and the proposed Lakes Specific Plan sets
forth goals and objectives for sustainability practices that will further reduce
area and mobile source emissions, such as using sustainable building
materials, water conservation, energy efficient lighting, reclaimed
landscape water, and bicycle parking. Consequently, the Project's long-
term impacts on air quality will be less than significant.
(2) Localized Emissions. The Project will not result in significant localized
emissions impacts or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations. The Project's unmitigated on-site construction emissions
will not exceed the localized significance thresholds (LSTs); therefore, the
Project's construction -related localized significance impacts will be less
than significant. Additionally, the Project's unmitigated operational area
source emissions will be negligible and will not exceed the LSTs for
Sensitive Receptor Area (SRA) 3. Therefore, the Project's operational
localized significance impacts for Project operations will be less than
significant.
(3) Cumulative Impacts. The proposed Project, combined with other related
cumulative projects, will not result in significant air pollutant emission
impacts. The proposed Project will not result in long-term air quality
impacts, as emissions will not exceed applicable operational thresholds.
Development associated with the proposed Project will be consistent with
what is anticipated in the General Plan. Additionally, adherence to
SCAQMD rules and regulations will alleviate potential impacts related to
cumulative conditions on a project -by -project basis. Emission reduction
technology, strategies, and plans are constantly being developed. As a
result, the proposed Project will not contribute a cumulatively considerable
net increase of any nonattainment criteria pollutant. Therefore, cumulative
operational impacts associated with Project implementation will be less
than significant.
b) Finding:
Based on the whole of the administrative record, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, on
long-term air quality standards or on localized emissions. Consequently, no
mitigation is required.
3 56
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
2. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from
the Project will not have a significant impact on global climate change. The
total amount of Project -related "business as usual" GHG emissions from
direct and indirect sources combined will total 1,683.19 MTCO2eq/year,
which is below the 3,000 MTCO2eq/year threshold. Therefore, the
proposed Project will result in a less than significant impact with regards to
GHG emissions.
(2) Compliance with Applicable Plan/Policy/Reaulation. The proposed Project
will be consistent with the City of EI Segundo's EECAP, which is the
applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of GHGs. In addition, the Project will incorporate design
features that will reduce GHG emissions. The Project will not conflict with
or impede implementation of reduction goals identified in AB 32 and other
strategies to help reduce GHG emissions. Therefore, the Project will not
conflict with an applicable GHG reduction plan, policy, or regulation.
Impacts will be less than significant in this regard.
(3) Cumulative Impacts. The additive effect of the Project's GHG emissions
will not result in a reasonably foreseeable cumulatively considerable
contribution to global climate change. In addition, the Project, as well as
other cumulative related projects, will be subject to all applicable regulatory
requirements, which will further reduce GHG emissions. As stated in the
FEIR, the Project will not result in a significant impact regarding GHG
emissions, as the Project will result in 1,683.19 MTCO2eq/year under
buildout "business as usual" conditions. Therefore, Project related GHG
impacts were determined to be less than significant as they were below the
3,000 MTCO2eq threshold. Therefore, the Project's cumulative GHG
emissions will be considered less than significant.
b) Finding:
Based on the whole of the administrative record, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, with
respect to greenhouse gas emissions thresholds or consistency with applicable
greenhouse gas plans, policies or regulations. Consequently, no mitigation is
required.
3. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Operations. Project operations will not create a significant hazard to the
public or environment through the handling, storage, and/or use of
hazardous materials, as well as accident conditions involving the release
of hazardous materials. Due to the nature of the proposed land uses, the
Project is not anticipated to involve facilities or activities that would produce
or use substantial quantities of hazardous materials or require the routine
4 57
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
transport of hazardous materials to and from the site that may adversely
affect the public or the environment. Long-term operation of the proposed
facilities will be subject to applicable federal, State, and local regulations
intended to manage the transport, use, storage, manufacture, and disposal
of hazardous materials to ensure that these materials do not adversely
impact the public or the environment. Project conformance with such
standard regulations will ensure impacts remain less than significant.
(2) Emit or Handle Hazardous Materials Near a School. The closest school to
the Project site is Wondertree Kids, located 0.25 -mile southeast from the
Project site. However, Project operations will not involve the use of
hazardous materials or substances, and thus will not emit hazardous
emissions. Additionally, buffers in the form of roadways and intervening
structures will separate the proposed commercial uses from the existing
school. Compliance with measures established by Federal, State and local
regulatory agencies is considered adequate to offset any potential impacts
related to the use, handling, or storage of hazardous.
(3) Hazardous Materials Reaulatory Site. A Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment was conducted to identify, to the extent feasible, recognized
environmental conditions ("RECs") at the Property. As part of the Phase I
ESA, a regulatory agency database (federal, state, and tribal
environmental records) search report was obtained from Environmental
Data Resources Inc. (EDR), a third -party environmental database search
firm. The Property (Project site) was not identified in the environmental
database report.
(4) Emeraencv Response or Evaluation Plan. The Specific Plan area will
continue to be accessed via two existing driveways along Pacific Coast
Highway and Hughes Way. No modifications to the existing driveways,
and no new curb cuts are proposed as part of the project. Therefore, the
Project site will remain accessible to emergency vehicles during both
Project construction and operations. The Project has been review by the
EI Segundo Fire Department (ESFD) and teh ESFD has verified that
adequate emergency vehicle access is provided. Additionally, evacuation
plans and procedures are incorporated into building and site design per
ESFD regulations. Therefore, given the nature and scope of the proposed
improvements, Project implementation will not impair implementation of or
physically interfere with the City's Emergency Operations Plan, evacuation
plan, or site access by emergency personnel, and for that reason, impacts
will be less than significant impact.
(5) Cumulative Impacts. As concluded in the FEIR, the Project's potential
impacts through accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials will be reduced to less than significant levels with implementation
of the recommended mitigation and compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects involving
potential RECs and ACMs/LBPs in structures are not cumulatively
considerable. Potential hazardous conditions adjacent to the Project site
will be addressed in accordance with the respective applicable regulations,
laws, programs, and policies. As a result, the Project will not be expected
to contribute to new cumulative adverse impacts as a result of Project
5 58
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
implementation. With implementation of the specified mitigation measure,
the Project will not result in cumulatively considerable impacts concerning
hazards and hazardous materials.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts with respect to the handling, storage,
and/or use of hazardous materials during project operations and will not result in
cumulatively considerable impacts with respect to hazards and hazardous
materials. Consequently, no mitigation is required.
4. Hvdroloav and Water Qualitv
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Water Qualitv — Short -Term. The Project applicant will be required to
prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) pursuant to the California Construction General Permit (CGP).
The SWPPP establishes procedures, including Best Management
Practices (BMPs), to control common pollutants such as suspended soil
in storm water runoff from leaving the Project area and negatively affecting
downstream water bodies. The SWPPP will include an Erosion Control
Plan and will identify appropriate BMPs to reduce potential degradation of
storm water quality. Further, the Project will also be subject to ESMC
Chapter 5-4-9 and will be subject to inspection by the City's Department
of Public Works. With implementation of the NPDES and ESMC
requirements, the Project's construction activities will have a less than
significant impact on surface water quality and will not significantly impact
the beneficial uses of receiving waters. Consequently, short-term water
quality impacts will be less than significant.
(2) Lona -Term Operations. As indicated in the FEIR, the Project will be
required to install an underground storage system, which will reduce the
unmitigated 25 -year flow rate of 18.19 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 6.0
cfs, reducing the discharge to below the existing condition of 7.80 cfs. To
ensure that discharge rates with Project implementation remain below that
of existing conditions, prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project
applicant will be required to provide detailed calculations and design
drawings demonstrating the detention/infiltration system adequately
mitigates the 25 -year storm event.
The percentage of impervious area for the Project site will increase from
11.7 percent to 37.0 percent. Although the Project would increase the 25 -
year peak flow for the Project site beyond existing conditions, an
underground infiltration/detention system will be constructed to detain the
storm water so that the peak flow rate from the completed Project will not
exceed the existing condition peak flow rate, consistent with reduced flow
discharge and SUSMP storage requirements. With implementation of the
underground storage system the 25 -year flow rate of 22.90 cfs will be
reduced to 10.50 cfs, which will reduce the discharge to below the 10.72
cfs required. Thus, the peak flow rate from the completed Project site will
6 59
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
not exceed the existing condition peak flow rate and impacts would be less
than significant in this regard.
The Project will be required to implement post -construction controls in
order to mitigate storm water pollution. Specifically, the MS4 Permit
requires each permittee to implement a Planning and Land Development
Program for all Redevelopment projects before issuance of a grading
permit. The Project will be required to control pollutants, pollutant loads,
and runoff volume from the site by minimizing the impervious surface area
and controlling runoff from impervious surfaces through infiltration, bio -
retention, and/or rainfall harvest and use.
The proposed detention/infiltration system will be designed to allow the
lower portion of the detention/infiltration system to provide the required
storm water quality design volume (SWQDV) and the upper portion for
detention to control the peak outflow. The SWQDV will infiltrate into the
ground and the detention volume will ultimately discharge through the
existing 48 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) to the regional retention
basin and infiltrate into the ground within the retention basin. The re-
contoured areas in the golf course will be covered with vegetation. The
vegetation will function as vegetated buffers to slow down runoff velocity,
allow sediment and pollutants to settle, and provide infiltration into the
underlying soils.
Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a SUSMP, or functional equivalent,
must be prepared, including BMPs, in accordance with the latest EI
Segundo SUSMP, or functional equivalent template. The proposed
detention/infiltration system will be included in the Construction Drawings
to mitigate impacts of changes in imperviousness, as identified in the Final
Hydrology Study and LID. The LID identifies source control, site design,
and treatment BMPs that will also be required as part of the Project.
As part of the City's discretionary review process, the Project Applicant
will also be required to prepare a Construction Level Hydrology and
Hydraulics Study for review and approval by the Director of Public Works
and Building Official, prior to issuance of a grading permit. The study will
ensure that all drainage improvements and measures implemented for
storm water quality control purposes meet local and county design
requirements and standard engineering practices for the region, including
those identified in the Los Angeles County Manual. Compliance with the
NPDES and ESMC requirements will further ensure that potential impacts
to long-term water quality will be less than significant.
(3) Groundwater. With development of the site as proposed, the site's
pervious area is expected to decrease from 24.02 acres to 17.15 acres
with Project implementation, or by approximately 6.87 acres. Although the
Project site is not located within a groundwater recharge area, existing
pervious areas provide approximately 70,632 cubic feet (cf) of maximum
available storm water for groundwater recharge. Development as
proposed would reduce the maximum availability of storm water for
groundwater recharge to approximately 50,422 cf, a reduction of 20,209
cf. As discussed in the FEIR, the proposed underground infiltration
7 60
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
system will provide a volume of 27,242 cf for the groundwater supply. For
proposed impervious areas, storm water will be conveyed to a proposed
underground detention/infiltration system. The proposed onsite
detention/infiltration system will be designed to allow the lower portion of
the detention/infiltration system to provide the required SWQDV, and the
upper portion (for detention) to control the peak outflow. The proposed
underground infiltration system will provide a volume of 27,242 cf for the
groundwater supply. The SWQDV will infiltrate into the ground and the
detention volume will ultimately discharge through the existing 48 -inch
RCP to the regional retention basin, ultimately infiltrating the ground
surface within the retention basin. Thus, the Project will not substantially
interfere with groundwater recharge and impacts would be less than
significant.
Although, the City of EI Segundo maintains rights to 953 acre-feet of water
per year from West Basin, the City does not use groundwater as a potable
water source. Instead, the City leases its yearly water rights to the City of
Manhattan Beach. According to the 2015 UWMP, the City does not
anticipate using groundwater to meet future water demands due to water
quality issues associated with seawater intrusion, and would only rely on
purchased or imported water or recycled water to meet future demands.
Therefore, the Project will not deplete groundwater supplies or
substantially interfere with groundwater recharge such that there will be a
net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table
level. Impacts will be less than significant in this regard.
(4) Cumulative Impacts. Cumulative projects would have the potential to
affect water quality at their respective sites during the construction phase
and long-term operations. As concluded in the FEIR, Project development
would result in increased potential for short- and long-term operational
water quality impacts in the area. Therefore, the Project's incremental
effects to water quality are cumulatively considerable. However, the
Project together with all other past, present and probable future
development projects (cumulative projects) are required to comply with
the NPDES requirements and to implement a SWPPP with specific BMPs
during construction activities. Additionally, the Project and cumulative
projects must adhere to NPDES requirements and implement a SUSMP
with specific BMPs for post -construction conditions. Each project would
also be required to comply with existing water quality standards at the time
of development review and include BMPs, as necessary. Therefore, with
implementation of the NPDES and ESMC requirements, the combined
cumulative short- and long-term impacts on surface water quality
associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the
cumulative projects will be less than significant.
Implementation of the cumulative projects would result in changes to
drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces on each respective
development site. Higher flows resulting from cumulative development
projects would contribute storm water flows to the local and regional
drainage facilities, which would result in drainage and runoff impacts.
Additionally, runoff from some of the cumulative projects could drain into
the conveyance systems used by the Project. As concluded in the FEIR,
8 61
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
Project implementation will result in changes in impervious surfaces,
however, proposed drainage improvements will ensure that proposed
condition flows are equal to or less than existing runoff conditions.
Therefore, the Project's incremental effects to drainage are not
cumulatively considerable. Future development will be required to
account for higher flows within the drainage area on a project -by -project
basis. Each cumulative project would be required to submit individual
analyses to their respective jurisdictions for review and approval prior to
issuance of grading or building permits. Each analysis must indicate how
peak flows generated from each related project will be accommodated by
the existing and/or proposed storm drainage facilities. Therefore, the
combined cumulative drainage and runoff impacts associated with the
Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would
be less than significant.
As concluded in the FEIR, the Project will not deplete groundwater
supplies, since the City does not use groundwater as a potable water
source. Although the Project will reduce pervious area, the proposed
detention/infiltration system would provide for groundwater recharge from
Project site storm water. Therefore, Project implementation will not
substantially interfere with groundwater recharge. The Project's
incremental effects to groundwater supplies and recharge are not
cumulatively considerable. Moreover, cumulative projects will not
interfere with groundwater recharge, since they are not located within a
groundwater recharge area. Although development of the cumulative
projects could result in an overall increase in impervious surfaces, many
of the projects involve redevelopment and not new development on vacant
lands, particularly due to the urbanized nature of the City and its
surroundings. Cumulative projects will not deplete groundwater supplies,
as the City does not use groundwater as a potable water source.
Therefore, cumulative impacts to groundwater supplies would be less than
significant.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts with respect to short-term (construction)
water quality, long-term operational, groundwater, and cumulative hydrology and
water quality impacts. Consequently, no mitigation is required.
5. Land Use and Planning
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) SCAG's 2016 RTP/SCS Goals and Adopted Growth Forecasts. The
Project will be consistent with SCAG's 2016 RTP/SCS Goals and growth
forecasts, resulting in a less than significant impact in this regard.
(2) EI Sequndo General Plan. Pursuant to California Law, The Lakes Specific
Plan must be consistent with the EI Segundo General Plan. To ensure
consistency between the proposed Specific Plan and the General Plan, the
General Plan Land Use Element is being amended concurrently with the
9 62
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
adoption of the The Lakes Specific Plan. More specifically, the General
Plan and General Plan Map are being amended via GPA 16-01 to change
the land use designation for the 26.54 -acre Specific Plan area from "Parks"
to "The Lakes Specific Plan." The Specific Plan will also establish a link
between the General Plan implementing policies (i.e., strategies) and the
development proposed.
As demonstrated in the FEIR, the Project is compatible with, and will not
frustrate, the goals and policies of the General Plan. Therefore, the Project
is consistent with the General Plan and will result in a less than significant
impact regarding potential conflict with the General Plan. All future
development plans or agreements, and any other development approvals
will be subject to compliance with The Lakes Specific Plan. Compliance
with The Lakes Specific Plan will be verified through the City's established
development review process. Because all future development within the
Specific Plan area must comply with the Specific Plan, which complies with
the General Plan, the development will necessarily comply with the General
Plan.
(3) EI Seaundo Municipal Code. To ensure consistency between the Specific
Plan and the ESMC, the Project includes a Zone Change (No. ZC 16-01)
and Zoning Map Change to rezone the 26.54 -acre proposed Specific Plan
area as follows: 16.06 acres from "O -S Zone" to "The Lakes Specific Plan"
(Public Recreation/Open Space [PR/OS]); and 10.49 acres from "O -S
Zone" to "The Lakes Specific Plan" (Commercial Recreation/Open Space
[CR/OS]).
The City's Zoning Map and zoning text are being concurrently with the
adoption of the The Lakes Specific Plan. The Zone Change will establish
the Specific Plan area pursuant to the Specific Plan's proposed Land Use
Plan. The Zone Text Amendment will amend ESMC §15-3-2, Specific Plan
Zones, to add The Lakes Specific Plan and will establish the Specific Plan's
purpose, development standards, design guidelines, and administrative
provisions.
All development within the Specific Plan area will be subject to compliance
with the Specific Plan in order regulate and restrict the uses of lands and
buildings; square footage, height and bulk of buildings; and, yards and
other open spaces. Compliance with the Specific Plan will be verified
through the City's established development review process. Because all
future actions and improvements must comply with The Lakes Specific
Plan, once approved, they will comply with the ESMC.
The Project includes features that encourage and accommodate the use of
transit, pedestrian, and bicycle commuting as alternatives to single
occupant motor vehicle trips. The Project has been reviewed by the City
for compliance with ESMC Chapter 15-16, and compliance will be verified
before the City issues a Grading Permit. The Project has provided
applicable TDM and trip reduction measures. Therefore, the Project will be
in compliance with ESMC Chapter 15-16 requirements and a less than
significant impact will result in this regard.

Environmental Findings of Fact
(4) Cumulative Impacts. As proposed, the cumulative projects considered
would be evaluated on a project -by -project basis, as they are implemented
within the City of EI Segundo and the other cities/communities. Each
cumulative project would undergo a similar plan review process as the
proposed Project to determine potential land use planning policy and
regulation conflicts. Each cumulative project would be analyzed
independently and within the context of their respective land use and
regulatory settings. As part of the review process, each project would be
required to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the applicable
land use designation(s) and zoning district(s). It is assumed that
cumulative development would progress in accordance with the General
Plan and municipal code of the respective jurisdictions. Each cumulative
project would be analyzed to ensure that the goals, objectives, and policies
of the respective general plans, and regulations and guidelines of the
respective municipal codes are consistently upheld. Moreover, as
concluded in the FEIR, the Project is consistent with the 2016 RTP/SCS
goals and growth forecasts, and the EI Segundo General Plan and ESMC,
and therefore, would not contribute cumulatively to a conflict with applicable
land use plans, policies, or regulations when considered with other
cumulative projects. For these reasons, the combined cumulative land
use/planning impacts associated with the Project's incremental effects and
those of the cumulative projects will be less than significant.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, with
respect to land use and planning. Consequently, no mitigation is required.
6. Noise
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Vibration. Vibration velocities from typical heavy construction equipment
operations that will be used during Project construction range from 0.003
to 0.644 inch -per -second PPV at 25 feet from the activity source. The
structures located nearest any proposed construction activity area (e.g.,
the southern extent of Topgolf development site) involve a light industrial
land use (West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) Edward C. Little
Water Recycling Facility (ECLWRF)) located approximately 75 feet to the
south. Project -related ground -borne vibration will be generated primarily
during site clearing and grading activities on-site and by off-site haul -truck
travel. At 75 feet from the activity source, vibration velocities range from
0.001 to 0.124 inch -per -second PPV. Additionally, the closest sensitive
receptor to the Project site (Oceanside Christian Fellowship) is located
approximately 2,150 feet to the east and vibratory levels will be below the
0.2 inch -per -second PPV significance threshold at the nearest structure
and sensitive receptors. Thus, vibration impacts associated with Project
construction will be less than significant.
(2) LonQ-Term Operational Noise. As indicated in the FEIR, the maximum
traffic noise level increase caused by the Project will be 2.9 dBA and would
11 64
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
occur along the Project Site Access, east of Pacific Coast Highway (SR -1).
Noise levels under future with Project conditions are expected to exceed
the City's allowable maximum exterior noise standard of 65 dBA along
three roadway segments. However , when compared to future without
Project conditions, no increase in traffic noise levels would occur at these
three segments under future with Project conditions. Therefore, as both
significance criteria (increase of 3.0 dBA or more and exceedance of the
City's 65 dBA noise standard) are not met, Project operational traffic
volumes will not significantly contribute to existing traffic noise in the area.
Project -related future traffic noise impacts along these roadway segments
will be less than significant.
(3) Lona -Term Stationary Noise. The nearest sensitive receptors that will be
subject to noise generated from delivery trucks on the Project site are
Oceanside Christian Fellowship Church (located approximately 2,150 feet
to the east) and single-family residences (located approximately 2,325 feet
to the southwest). At these distances, these receptors will be subject to
noise levels of 42.3 dBA and 41.7 dBA, respectively. These projected
noise levels are within the City's allowable exterior noise level thresholds
(75 dBA for churches and 65 dBA for single-family residences).
Additionally, noise from occasional truck deliveries currently exist on the
Project site associated with the existing golf course facilities. As such,
these sensitive receptors will not be directly exposed to excessive noise
levels from delivery trucks associated with the Project. Impacts will be less
than significant in this regard.
Future uses within the Project area would use heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning units (HVAC). HVAC systems typically result in noise levels
that average between 40 and 50 dBA Leq at 50 feet from the equipment.
As the nearest sensitive receptor (Oceanside Christian Fellowship) is
located approximately 2,150 feet east of the Project site's eastern
boundary, and are further from the closest potential location of the HVAC
equipment, potential noise levels would be well below the City's limits of 75
dBA for churches. Further, the Metro Green Line railway and Raytheon
Space and Airborne Systems are located between the Project site and the
nearest sensitive receptor (Oceanside Christian Fellowship Church)
located to the east. As such, the Green Line and Raytheon will buffer the
Project's mechanical equipment from the church. Therefore, impacts will
be less than significant in this regard.
The facility will also include an approximately 3,000 square foot outdoor
terrace on the third floor that provides entertainment involving live music
from a band or disc jockey (DJ). All DJ's and bands will be required to
connect to the facility's in-house sound system and speakers, allowing the
ability to control the volume and other sound levels. All overhead speakers
would be oriented inward and down to the facility's floors. Previous noise
assessments conducted at Topgolf facilities provided measured sound
levels resulting from typical weekend activities. The surveys consisted of
both short and long-term sound level measurements collected at 17
locations in and around the Gilbert Topgolf facility. It was determined that
predicted Topgolf noise levels ranged from 27 dBA to 47 dBA at the nearest
sensitive receptors (interior of library and school classrooms and
12 65
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
residences located 400 to 580 feet away from the Gilbert Topgolf facility)
and the Gilbert Topgolf Project -related increase (Project noise levels added
to the existing baseline noise levels) in ambient noise levels would be zero
dB. The nearest sensitive receptor (Oceanside Christian Fellowship) to the
Project site is located approximately 2,150 feet east of the Project site's
eastern boundary. Given that point sources of noise emissions are
atmospherically attenuated by a factor of 6 dBA per doubling of distance,
noise levels would be approximately 36 dBA at the Church. As the
proposed Project is expected to result in similar noise impacts associated
with the Gilbert Topgolf facility operations, a less than significant impact will
occur in this regard.
As under existing conditions, outdoor dining and weekly and monthly
events, as well as occasional special events would continue to occur with
implementation of the Project. Noise generated by groups of people (i.e.,
crowds) is dependent on several factors including vocal effort,
impulsiveness, and the random orientation of the crowd members. Crowd
noise is estimated at 60 dBA at one meter (3.28 feet) away for raised
normal speaking. This noise level would have a +5 dBA adjustment for the
impulsiveness of the noise source, and a -3 dBA adjustment for the random
orientation of the crowd members. Therefore, crowd noise would be
approximately 62 dBA at one meter from the source (i.e., the outdoor patio
area and events). Noise has a decay rate due to distance attenuation,
which is calculated based on the Inverse Square Law. Based upon the
Inverse Square Law, sound levels decrease by 6 dBA for each doubling of
distance from the source. As a result, crowd noise would be 56.0 dBA at
6.56 feet and 52.3 dBA at 10 feet. As the nearest receptors are
approximately 3,000 feet to the southwest of the proposed outdoor patio,
noise levels would be well below the City's noise standards, and/or the
ambient noise levels in the area immediately surrounding the Project site
of 66.3 dBA (along the south central portion of the Project site). Therefore,
impacts will be less than significant in this regard.
The project proposes to expand the existing surface parking areas to
accommodate a total of 523 spaces. The closest sensitive receptors to the
parking areas would be approximately 2,325 feet to the southwest.
Additionally, parking lot noise currently exists at the Project site from
current golf course and recreational uses. Further, commercial and
manufacturing uses will be located between the parking areas and
sensitive receptors. As the noise generated in the parking areas would be
at a distance of approximately 2,325 feet from the closest sensitive
receptors, noise associated with parking activities will not exceed the City's
exterior standard of 65 dBA for single-family residential uses. As such,
impacts will be less than significant in this regard.
(4) Lonq-Term Cumulative Noise. Although related cumulative projects have
been identified within the study area, the noise generated by stationary
equipment on-site cannot be quantified given the conceptual nature of each
development and since speculation would be involved. Each cumulative
project would require separate discretionary approval and CEQA
assessment, which would address potential noise impacts and identify
necessary attenuation measures, where appropriate. The Project will not
13 66
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
result in stationary long-term equipment that would significantly affect
surrounding sensitive receptors. Thus, the Project and identified
cumulative projects are not anticipated to result in a significant cumulative
impact. Less than significant impacts will occur in this regard.
A significant impact would result only if both the combined and incremental
effects criteria have been met for long-term cumulative mobile noise. Noise
levels along EI Segundo Boulevard between SR -1 and Continental
Boulevard roadways would range from 55.7 dBA to 69.7 dBA, which are
within the City's land use compatibility criteria for the land uses along the
roadways. Therefore, a significant impact regarding combined effects will
not occur in this regard. The roadway segment along the Project Site
Access, east of Pacific Coast Highway, is expected to have an incremental
noise level increase of 2.9 dBA, which is over the 1.0 dBA criteria.
However, the combined noise level increase would be 2.9, which is below
3.0 dBA threshold of perception. The resultant noise level is expected be
54.0 dBA, which is within the City's noise standard for land uses along this
roadway segment. As also indicated in the FEIR, the resultant noise level
for the roadway segment of Manhattan Boulevard (east of SR -1) is
expected be 65.5 dBA, which exceeds the 65 dBA noise standard.
However, there would be no incremental increase in vehicular noise levels
along this segment and the 1.0 dBA criteria would not be exceeded.
Additionally, the combined noise level increase would be 0.6 dBA, which is
below the 3.0 dBA threshold of perception. Therefore, no significant mobile
noise impacts will occur on study area roadway segments, as mobile noise
levels will not exceed either the combined or incremental effects criteria,
and will comply with the City's noise standards.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts with respect to vibration, long-term
mobile noise, long-term stationary noise, and cumulative long-term noise impacts.
Consequently, no mitigation is required.
7. Population and Housing
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Displacement of Housing and/or People. No housing units currently exist
on the Project site. Therefore, Project implementation will not displace
housing or people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, with
respect to population and housing. Consequently, no mitigation is required.

8. Public Services and Recreation
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Fire, Police, Schools, and Parks/Recreation. The Project will create an
increase in demand for fire and police protection services, as well as for
schools and parks. Payment of the mitigation fees set forth in EI Segundo
Municipal Code (ESMC) Chapter 15-57A will ensure that the Project result
in less than significant impacts related to fire and police protection services.
Project implementation will generate indirect student population growth in
the Wiseburn School District (WSD). However, the Project will not warrant
construction of new or physically altered school facilities. Therefore, the
Project will not result in substantial environmental impacts in this regard.
WSD charges developer fees for residential and commercial development
for the purpose of funding the construction or reconstruction of school
facilities. This mitigation fee will be imposed on the Project and will reduce
potential impacts to a less than significant level.
The proposed development includes replacing the existing driving range
with a three-story approximately 67,170 gross square -foot Topgolf
commercial recreation and entertainment facility. To accommodate the
Topgolf facility, the proposed Project includes modifying the fairways and
layouts of three holes at the existing golf course. The modified 9 -hole
public golf course and associated clubhouse amenities will continue to
operate. The 3.58 acre SCE easement will continue to be developed as
the eastern portion of the nine -hole golf course. Additional modifications
include installing new lighting and screening poles, and replacing existing
net poles and driving range grass with high density fiber turf. Although the
26.54 Project site will provide both public recreation and commercial
recreation facilities, it will continue to contribute to the City's overall open
space and recreational facilities acreage of 213.46 acres, as the City
considers both public and private space to meet its parkland to population
requirements.
Project implementation will not involve residential development, thus,
would not induce substantial population growth through new residential
development. Therefore, the Project will not generate a significant demand
for park facilities or increase the use of existing recreational facilities
through new residential development. The Project will continue to provide
a 9 -hole public golf course, as well as a commercial recreation and
entertainment facility. Moreover, in compliance with ESMC Chapter 15-
27A, mitigation fees will be imposed which would minimize, to the greatest
extent practicable, the new development's impact on the City's existing
parks and recreational facilities. ESMC Chapter 15-27A fees will be
imposed by the City to finance public facilities attributable to new
development, including parks/open space and recreation facilities and
public use (community centers) facilities. Therefore, the Project will not
result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the need for
new or physically altered park or recreational facilities.
15 68
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
(2) Cumulative Impacts. The Project will result in increased demands on the
City's fire and police protection services, and parks/recreational services
and facilities. However, the Project is subject to compliance with ESMC
Chapter 15-27A through which the City imposes development impact fees
to finance public facilities attributable to new development, including fire
suppression and law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment, and
parks/open space and recreation facilities and public use (community
centers) facilities. Therefore, because the Project is required to pay ESMC
Chapter 15-27A mitigation fees, which are designed to alleviate cumulative
impacts to the City, the Project's incremental effects to fire and police
protection services, and parks/recreational services and facilities are not
cumulatively considerable. Further, although cumulative development
would similarly result in increased demands on existing fire and police
protection services, and parks/recreational services and facilities, each
cumulative project would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by various
City departments for compliance with minimum standards. Additionally,
each cumulative project would be subject to compliance with ESMC
Chapter 15-27A and payment of development impact fees to finance public
facilities attributable to the new development, including fire suppression
and law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment, and parks/open
space and recreation facilities and public use (community centers) facilities.
Such fees would minimize, to the greatest extent practicable, the
cumulative development's impact on the EI Segundo's public services and
public facilities. Thus, cumulative development projects would pay their fair
share of the costs of providing such public services and public facilities.
Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to fire and police protection
services, and parks/recreational services and facilities associated with the
Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be
less than significant.
The Project could indirectly generate student population growth in the
WSD. However, the Project is subject to compliance with Education Code
§§ 17620, et seq., which allows school districts to collect impact fees from
developers of new commercial/industrial building space. Therefore,
because the Project is required to pay developer impacts fees, which are
deemed to be full mitigation, the Project's incremental effects to school
facilities are not cumulatively considerable. Further, although cumulative
development would similarly generate student population growth in the
WSD, each cumulative Project would be subject to compliance with
Education Code § 17620 and payment of development impact fees to
school districts. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to school
districts associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the
cumulative projects would be less than significant.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, with
respect to public services and parks/recreation. Consequently, no mitigation is
required.

PM peak hour only);
• Intersection 7 - Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1)/Marine Way (both
weekday PM peak hour and weekend mid-day peak hour);
• Intersection 9 - Pacific Coast Highway (SR -1 )/Manhattan Beach
Boulevard (both weekday PM peak hour and weekend mid-day
peak hour);

As demonstrated in the FEIR, based on the thresholds of significance, the
Project is forecast to result in no significant traffic impacts at the State
Highway study intersections forforecast long-range with Project conditions.

Environmental Findings of Fact
(2) Compliance with Conqestion Manaqement Proqram (CMP)
Forecast Near -Term With Project Conditions
With the addition of Project -generated trips, the CMP study intersections
are forecast to operate at an acceptable LOS (LOS F) according to CMP
performance criteria for forecast near-term with Project conditions, except
the following:
• Intersection 1 - Pacific Coast Highway (SR -1) / EI Segundo
Boulevard (weekday PM peak hour only); and
• Intersection 4 - Pacific Coast Highway (SR -1) / Rosecrans Avenue
(weekday PM peak hour only).
As demonstrated in the FEIR, based on CMP thresholds of significance,
the addition of Project -generated trips is forecast to result in no significant
impact at the CMP study intersections for forecast near-term with Project
conditions. Therefore, no mitigation is required.
Forecast Long -Range With Project Conditions
The CMP study intersections are forecast to continue to operate at an
acceptable LOS (LOS F) according to CMP performance criteria for
forecast long-range without Project conditions, except the following:
Intersection 1 - (Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1)/EI Segundo
Boulevard, CMP) weekday p.m. and weekend mid-day peak hours;
Intersection 4 - (Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1)/Rosecrans Avenue,
CMP) weekday p.m. and weekend mid-day peak hours; and
Intersection 13 - (Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1)/Artesia Boulevard,
CMP) weekday p.m. and weekend mid-day peak hours.
As demonstrated in the FEIR, based on CMP thresholds of significance,
the addition of Project -generated trips is forecast to result in no significant
impact at the CMP study intersections for forecast long-range with Project
conditions. Therefore, no mitigation is required.
(3) CMP Transit Impacts. Project implementation will increase the demand for
public transit use in the Project vicinity. Based on the CMP guidelines, and
the proximity of the various Project land uses in relation to available transit
in the vicinity, the Project is forecast to generate approximately two
weekday AM peak hour transit trips, approximately 12 weekday PM peak
hour transit trips, and approximately 110 weekday daily transit trips.
Further, the Project is forecast to generate approximately nine weekend
mid-day peak hour transit trips, and approximately 185 weekend mid-day
daily transit trips. As the Project transit trips can be accommodated by
existing transit service in the Project vicinity, no significant CMP transit
impacts are expected to occur.

Environmental Findings of Fact
(4) Cumulative Impacts. The forecast long-range without Project traffic
volumes are derived by adding trips associated with 93 cumulative projects
expected to be constructed and generating trips by Project buildout. As
demonstrated in the FEIR, the Project will not result in a significant impact
at study intersections for forecast long-range with Project buildout
conditions. Therefore, the combined cumulative traffic and circulation
impacts associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the
cumulative projects will be less than significant for the identified
intersections.
Notwithstanding, all cumulative projects would be evaluated on a project -
by -project basis as they are implemented within the City of EI Segundo and
the other cities/communities. Each cumulative project would undergo a
similar plan review process as the proposed Project, to determine whether
preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis is warranted, and the potential
traffic and circulation impacts. Each cumulative project would be analyzed
within the context of their respective traffic study areas.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts, either individually or cumulatively, with
respect to transportation/traffic, and CMP facilities and CMP transit.
Consequently, no mitigation is required.
10. Utilities and Service Svstems
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Wastewater Treatment Reauirements. Project implementation will not alter
the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant's (JWPCP's) design capacities or
cause the plant (i.e., discharger) to violate the effluent limitations, receiving
water limitations, or standard provisions. Development associated with
Project will be required to comply with NPDES requirements for any uses
that plan to discharge wastewater to the City's sewage system, which
ultimately flows to the JWPCP. Additionally, Project implementation will
not require increases in the JWPCP's design capacities. Therefore, Project
implementation will not cause the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board (LARWQCB) wastewater treatment requirements to be
exceeded and a less than significant impact will occur in this regard.
(2) Water Supplies and Facilities. The West Basin Municipal Water District
(WBMWD) 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) considers
population projections through the year 2040 based on land uses
anticipated by the General Plan. Although the Project includes
amendments to the General Plan with adoption of The Lakes Specific Plan,
the Topgolf development will be developed at a floor area ratio (FAR) of
0.147, which is less than the development anticipated by the General Plan.
Thus, the proposed development potential is accounted for in WBMWD's
2015 UWMP. According to the WBMWD 2015 UWMP, although
WBMWD's service area population is projected to increase, the overall
baseline potable demand is expected to decrease given further water use
efficiency and recycled water program implementation. Further, WBMWD
20 73
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
does not anticipate any shortages and would be able to provide reliable
water supplies under normal, single -dry year, and multiple -dry year
conditions. Any shortfall in supplies would be met through imported water
so long as MWD manages its supply and demand balance through its
Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan (WSDM) and Water Supply
Allocation Plan (WSAP). Therefore, there will be sufficient water supplies
available to serve the Project from existing entitlement and resources, and
no new or expanded entitlement would be needed. A less than significant
impact will occur in this regard.
The Project site is currently served by existing water lines. Due to proposed
grading for the Project, some portions of the existing eight -inch water line
may require reconstruction to maintain proper depth of the pipe. Two new
PVC water laterals would connect the existing 8 inch ductile iron water line
to the proposed development to supply water and fire water. The water
facilities' environmental impacts would occur within the Project site
boundaries and would be less than significant.
Water for fire suppression is provided by on-site building sprinklers and
from two off-site fire hydrants located on Pacific Coast Highway. Fire flows
for the proposed development will be subject to County of Los Angeles Fire
Department Land Development Unit Standards. Therefore, impacts in
regard to fire flows will be less than significant.
Increased demand for recycled water beyond existing conditions is not
anticipated. The Topgolf facility will replace the natural grass at the existing
driving range with synthetic turf, thereby reducing the demand for
recycled/reclaimed water. Reclaimed water service is anticipated to be
provided through the existing point of connection on Hughes Way. Thus,
expansion of facilities is not anticipated. A less than significant impact will
occur in regard to demand and/or expansion of recycled water facilities.
(3) Wastewater Facilities and Treatment. The Project will construct two new
laterals to serve the proposed development. As detailed in the FEIR, the
wastewater facilities' environmental impacts will occur within the Project
site boundaries and will be less than significant.
According to the Districts, the Project's projected increase in average daily
wastewater generation beyond existing conditions is estimated at 7,705
gallons per day (gpd), which will be served by the Districts' existing 24 -inch
diameter trunk sewer. The increase in wastewater generated by the
Project (approximately 7,705 gpd) represents approximately 0.0004
percent of the remaining Districts' capacity. Thus, the proposed
development will not exceed the available capacity at the JWPCP.
Therefore, adequate capacity exists to serve the Project's projected
demand and Project implementation will not require increases to the
Districts truck sewer or in the JWPCP's design capacities. Project
implementation will not require or result in the construction of new
wastewater facilities or expansion of existing facilities beyond the
construction of the new sewer laterals located onsite. A less than
significant impact will occur in this regard.
21 74
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
(4) Solid Waste. The Project will be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted
capacity to accommodate the Project's solid waste disposal needs.
Further, the Project will be required to comply with the City's Source
Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) for diverting solid waste. Some
of the source reduction programs that will be available to the commercial
uses are: Commercial On -Site Greenwaste Pick -Up; Electronic Waste;
Commercial On-site Pick -Up; and Business Waste Reduction Program.
Compliance with the SRRE will reduce the volume of solid waste ultimately
disposed of at a landfill. Additionally, compliance with the SRRE will be in
furtherance of meeting the City's disposal rate targets and exceeding AB
939's 50 percent diversion requirement. Continued compliance with the
SRRE will ensure that the Project will comply with the statutes and
regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, the Project will not conflict
with federal, state, or local statutes and regulations related to solid waste,
and a less than significant impact will occur in this regard.
(5) Dry Utilities. The Project will involve minor improvements, including a new
underground utility conduit system, new gas line, and connections for the
telecommunications systems. Proposed improvements to dry utilities are
minor and will not cause significant environmental effects. Thus, a less
than significant impact will occur in this regard.
(6) Cumulative Impacts. The Project and cumulative projects would increase
demand for water associated with new development. As with the Project,
all future cumulative development would undergo environmental review on
a project -by -project basis in order to evaluate potential impacts to the local
water system and ensure compliance with the established regulatory
framework. Cumulative impacts to the local water system within the City
of EI Segundo would be mitigated on a project -by -project basis. WBMWD
does not anticipate any shortages in water supply associated with the
Project and will be able to provide reliable water supplies under normal,
single -dry year, and multiple -dry year conditions. Therefore, Project
implementation will not result in cumulatively considerable impacts to the
water system.
The Project and cumulative projects will result in increased demands on
the local sewer system. As with the Project, all future cumulative
development would undergo environmental review on a project -by -project
basis, in order to evaluate potential impacts to the local wastewater system
and ensure compliance with the established regulatory framework.
Cumulative impacts to the local water system within the City of EI Segundo
would be mitigated on a project -by -project basis. Construction of new
sewer facilities associated with the Project will not result in a significant
environmental effect. Further, it was determined based on existing
capacity, that the Districts' local trunk sewer and the JWPCP treatment
facility will have capacity to serve the Project. The Project will also be
responsible for paying a fee to the Districts in an amount sufficient to
construct an incremental expansion of the sewerage system to
accommodate the Project. Payment of the fees will ensure adequate
capacity to serve the development being proposed at that time. Therefore,
project implementation will not result in cumulatively considerable impacts
to the sewer system.
22 75
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
The cumulative projects involve new developments, which would increase
solid waste generation, impacting capacities of the landfills receiving their
wastes. The Project will similarly increase solid waste generation and
impact capacities at landfills. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects
to landfill capacities are cumulatively considerable. However, compliance
with the EI Segundo and respective cities' SRREs will reduce the volume
of solid waste ultimately disposed of at a landfill. Additionally, compliance
with the SRRE will be in furtherance of meeting each jurisdiction's disposal
rate targets and exceeding AB 939's 50 percent diversion requirement.
Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to landfill capacities
associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the
cumulative projects will be less than significant.
The dry utilities would not provide service to the Project (or any new
development), if there were not adequate supplies and infrastructure to
maintain existing service levels and meet the anticipated demands of the
specific development requesting service. Therefore, the Project's
incremental effects to dry utilities are not cumulatively considerable.
b) Finding:
Based on the administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
Project will not result in significant impacts with respect to wastewater facilities and
treatment, water supplies and facilities, solid waste, dry utilities, or cumulative
impacts to public utilities and service systems. Consequently, no mitigation is
required.
D. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Studv But Which Can
Be Reduced to Less -Than -Significant Levels with Mitigation Measures.
Based on the evidence in the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
implementation of specified mitigation measures will ensure that the Project will have less
than significant environmental effects in the following areas:
1. Air Qualitv
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Air Qualitv Standards — Short -Term. Temporary impacts could result from
Project construction activities. Short-term air emissions would result from
particulate (fugitive dust) emissions from grading and building construction
and exhaust emissions from the construction equipment and the motor
vehicles of the construction crew. Maximum particulate matter emissions
will occur during the initial stages of construction, when grading activities
will occur. Mitigation Measure AQ -1 requires that construction activities
comply with SCAQMD Rule 403, such that excessive fugitive dust
emissions shall be controlled by regular watering or other dust prevention
measures. In addition, SCAQMD Rule 402 is required for implementation
of dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive dust from creating a
nuisance off-site and after implementation will reduce short-term fugitive
dust impacts on nearby sensitive receptors. With adherence to Mitigation
23 76
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
Measure AQ -1, and other dust control techniques, the maximum mitigated
particulate matter concentration will not exceed SCAQMD thresholds.
Further, ROG emissions and construction equipment and worker vehicle
exhaust emissions will not exceed the emissions thresholds. A less than
significant impact will occur in this regard. The Project is not located in an
area where naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) is likely to be present.
Therefore impacts will be less than significant.
In accordance with the SCAQMD Guidelines, CaIEEMod was utilized to
model construction emissions for ROG, NOX, CO, SOX, PM10, and PM2.5.
Unmitigated construction -related emissions are not expected to exceed
SCAQMD construction thresholds, thus, emissions from construction -
related activities will be less than significant. Implementation of Mitigation
Measure AQ -1 is recommended to further lessen construction -related
impacts by requiring measures to reduce air pollutant emissions from
construction activities. Additionally, compliance with standard regulations
and SCAQMD rules are included in these mitigation measures in order to
ensure compliance and provide a verification method through the CEQA
process (i.e., the Mitigation Monitoring Program). Therefore, construction
emissions will be at less than significant levels.
(2) Air Qualitv Management Plan. The determination of 2012 AQMP
consistency is primarily concerned with a project's long-term influence on
the Basin's air quality. The Project will not result in a long-term impact on
the region's ability to meet State and Federal air quality standards. Also,
the Project will be consistent with the AQMP's goals and policies for control
of fugitive dust. As discussed in the FEIR, the Project's long-term influence
will also be consistent with the SCAQMD and SCAG's goals and policies
and is, therefore, considered consistent with the 2012 AQMP. The Project
will be required to comply with applicable emission reduction measures
identified by the SCAQMD. These measures have been included as
Mitigation Measure AQ -1. The Project thus meets this AQMP consistency
criterion. Impacts associated with compliance with the 2012 AQMP will be
less than significant.
(3) Cumulative Short -Term Construction Air Emissions. Of the cumulative
projects that have been identified within the Project study area, there are a
number of related projects that have not been built or are currently under
construction. Since the Project Applicant has no control over the timing or
sequencing of the related projects, any quantitative analysis to ascertain
the daily construction emissions that assumes multiple, concurrent
construction would be speculative.
The Project is required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements
and implement all feasible mitigation measures. In addition, the Project will
comply with adopted 2012 AQMP emissions control measures. Per
SCAQMD rules and mandates, as well as the CEQA requirement that
significant impacts be mitigated to the extent feasible, these same
requirements (i.e., Rule 403 compliance, the implementation of all feasible
mitigation measures, and compliance with adopted 2012 AQMP emissions
control measures) will also be imposed on construction projects throughout
the Basin, which will include each of the related cumulative projects.
24 77
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
Compliance with SCAQMD rules and regulations and Mitigation Measure
AQ -1 will reduce construction -related impacts to a less than significant level
during construction. Thus, it can be reasonably inferred that the Project -
related construction activities, in combination with those from other projects
in the area, will not significantly deteriorate the local air quality. Cumulative
construction -related impacts will be less than significant.
(4) Cumulative Consistencv with Regional Plans. The City of EI Segundo is
subject to the SCAQMD's 2012 AQMP. Additionally, the City is located
within the Los Angeles County subregion of the SCAG RTP/SCS, which
governs population growth. The General Plan is consistent with the
RTP/SCS, and since the RTP/SCS is consistent with the 2012 AQMP,
growth under the General Plan is consistent with the 2012 AQMP. In
addition, as Project operational emissions will not exceed SCAQMD
thresholds, the Project will not conflict or obstruct the 2012 AQMP. As
such, the Project will not cumulatively contribute to impacts in this regard,
and a less than significant impact will occur. It is noted that all applicable
construction emission reduction measures will be required for the Project
to ensure impacts are minimized (refer to Mitigation Measure AQ -1).
b) Mitigation:
AQ -1 In accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403, excessive fugitive dust
emissions must be controlled by regular watering or other dust
prevention measures, and with Rule 402, which requires
implementation of dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive
dust from creating a nuisance off-site as specified in the SCAQMD's
Rules and Regulations, the following shall be implemented during
construction:
a. All active portions of the construction site must be watered
every three hours during daily construction activities and when
dust is observed migrating from the Project site to prevent
excessive amounts of dust.
b. Appoint a construction relations officer to act as a community
liaison concerning on-site construction activity including
resolution of issues related to particulate matter generation.
c. Pave or apply water every three hours during daily construction
activities or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved
access roads, parking areas, and staging areas. More frequent
watering must occur if dust is observed migrating from the site
during site disturbance.
d. Any on-site stockpiles of debris, dirt, or other dusty material
must be enclosed, covered, watered twice daily, or non-toxic
soil binders shall be applied.
e. All grading and excavation operations must be suspended when
wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour.
f. Disturbed areas must be replaced with ground cover or paved
immediately after construction is completed in the affected area.
g. Track -out devices such as gravel bed track -out aprons (3 inches
deep, 25 feet long, 12 feet wide per lane and edged by rock
25 78
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
berm or row of stakes) are required to reduce mud/dirt trackout
from unpaved truck exit routes. Alternatively a wheel washer
must be used at truck exit routes.
On-site vehicle speed must be limited to 15 miles per hour.
All material transported off-site must be either sufficiently
watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of
dust before departing the job site.
Reroute construction trucks away from congested streets or
sensitive receptor areas.
c) Finding:
Based on the evidence in the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
identified mitigation measures, together with the Project's conditions of approval,
will avoid or decrease to a level of insignificance the potential air quality impacts
as identified in the FEIR.
2. Hazards and Hazardous Materials.
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Construction -Related Accidental Release of Hazardous Materials. The
completed Phase II ESA addressed the identified Recognized
Environmental Conditions (RECs) and no concerns that would warrant
further assessment or action were identified. Based on this data no further
assessment of the site was recommended. Therefore, short-term
construction activities will not create a significant hazard to the public or
environment through accident conditions involving the release of
hazardous materials associated with these known RECs.
There is the potential for asbestos -containing materials (ACMs) or lead-
based paints (LBPs) due to the ages of the structures and the time period
which ACMs and LBPs were phased out of building materials. Demolition
of onsite structures could expose construction personnel and the public to
ACMs or LBPs are present. All demolition that could result in the release
of ACMs or LBPs must be conducted according to Federal and State
standards. With implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-1, and
compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulatory
requirements, potential impacts through accident conditions involving the
release of hazardous materials (ACMs/LBPs) will be reduced to less than
significant levels.
Other means by which accidental spills could result during construction of
future development involve the use of construction equipment that may
result in petroleum-based fuel spills. The level of risk associated with this
type of spill is not considered significant due to the small volume and low
concentration of hazardous materials utilized during construction.
Standard construction practices will be observed such that any materials
released would be appropriately contained and remediated as required by
local, State, and Federal law. Project impacts in this regard will be less
than significant.
26 79
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
b) Mitigation:
HAZ-1 Before a Demolition Permit is issued, an environmental
professional with Phase II/site characterization experience must
conduct an inspection of existing onsite structures. The inspection
must determine whether or not testing is required to confirm the
presence or absence of hazardous substances in building materials
(e.g., sinks, drains, piping, flooring, walls, ceiling tiles). Should
testing be required and results determine that hazardous
substances are present in onsite building materials, the Phase
II/site characterization specialist must determine appropriate
prevention/remediation measures that are required and/or the
methods for proper disposal of hazardous waste at an approved
landfill facility, if required.
c) Finding:
Based on the evidence in the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
identified mitigation measures, together with the Project's conditions of approval,
will avoid or decrease to a level of insignificance the potential hazards and
hazardous materials impacts identified in the FEIR.
3. Noise
a) Facts/Effects:
(1) Short -Term Construction Noise Impacts. Project -related grading and
construction activities could generate significant amounts of noise and
vibration. Project construction activities could expose sensitive receptors
in the surrounding area to sporadic high noise and vibration levels (as a
result of power tools, jack -hammers, truck noise, etc.). The sensitive
receptors located nearest the Project site are the Christian Fellowship
Church (including a child day care facility) located approximately 2,150 feet
to the east, and the single-family residences located approximately 2,325
to the southwest. Given these distances and the noise attenuation
achieved with each doubling of distance (approximately 6 dB), Project
construction noise will be approximately 63.3 dBA and 62.7 dBA at the
Church and residences property lines, respectively. It is noted that these
noise levels do not account for additional attenuation that will occur from
intervening topography or structures. Project construction noise will not
interfere with normal activities at these offsite sensitive receptors and will
not exceed the City's noise standard for residential properties (five (5) dBA
above the ambient noise level or 65 dBA). Therefore, Project grading and
construction will not result in significant temporary noise levels at nearby
noise sensitive receptors and a less than significant impact would occur in
this regard. Implementation of Mitigation Measure N-1 will further minimize
potential construction noise levels by requiring preparation of a
Construction Noise Management Plan that includes limiting construction to
the less noise sensitive periods of the day (i.e., between the hours of 7:00
AM and 6:00 PM per ESMC §7-2-10) and ensuring that proper operating
procedures are followed during construction so that nearby sensitive
27 80
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
receptors are not adversely affected by noise and vibration (i.e., pursuant
to the standards set forth in ESMC §7-2-4). Therefore, following
compliance with the ESMC and implementation of Mitigation Measure N-1,
Project construction noise impacts will be less than significant.
(2) Short -Term Cumulative Noise Impacts. Construction activities associated
with the Project and cumulative projects may overlap, resulting in
construction noise in the area. However, as analyzed in the FEIR,
construction noise impacts primarily affect the areas immediately adjacent
to the construction site. Construction noise for the proposed Project was
determined to be less than significant following compliance with the ESMC
and Mitigation Measure N-1. The closest cumulative project is the EI
Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) within Raytheon that
involves office, retail, warehouse, light industrial uses located directly east
of the Project site. Future development within the ESSCSP area would be
subject to City standards and in accordance with a Construction Noise
Management Plan, which limits construction to the less noise sensitive
periods of the day and ensuring proper operating procedures during
construction, which would reduce construction noise impacts to a less than
significant level. Therefore, this cumulative project combined with the
Project will result in less than significant construction -related cumulative
noise impacts.
b) Mitiaation:
N-1 Before the City issues grading permits, the Project Applicant must
demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that
the Project complies with the following:
• All construction equipment must be equipped with mufflers and
sound control devices (e.g., intake silencers and noise shrouds)
no less effective than those provided on the original equipment
and no equipment shall have an un -muffled exhaust.
• The contractor must maintain and tune-up all construction
equipment to minimize noise emissions.
• Stationary equipment must be placed so as to maintain the
greatest possible distance to the sensitive receptors.
• All equipment servicing must be performed so as to maintain
the greatest possible distance to the sensitive receptors.
• Impact tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and rock
drills) used for project construction are required to be
hydraulically or electronically powered wherever possible to
avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from
pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of
pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler must be
used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up
to about 10 dBA. External jackets on the tools themselves must
be used where feasible, and this could achieve a reduction of 5
dBA. Quieter procedures must be used, such as drills rather
than impact equipment, whenever feasible.
28 81
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
A qualified "Noise Disturbance Coordinator" will be retained
amongst the construction crew to be responsible for responding
to any local complaints about construction noise. When a
complaint is received, the Disturbance Coordinator shall notify
the City within 24 hours of the complaint and determine the
cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early,
malfunctioning muffler, etc.) and implement reasonable
measures to resolve the compliant, as deemed acceptable by
the Director of Planning and Building Safety.
Select demolition methods to minimize vibration, where
possible (e.g., sawing masonry into sections rather than
demolishing it by pavement breakers).
c. Finding:
Based on the evidence in the record as a whole, the City Council finds that the
identified mitigation measures, together with the Project's conditions of approval,
will avoid or decrease to a level of insignificance the potential short-term
construction and short-term cumulative construction noise effects.
E. Siqnificant Unavoidable Effects that Cannot be Mitiqated to a Level of
Insiqnificance.
The City Council finds that no environmental effects were identified as Significant and
Unavoidable in the FEIR.
F. Growth Inducinq Impacts.
Based on the whole of the administrative record, the City Council finds that the Project will
not result in significant growth inducing impacts.
G. Proiect Alternatives.
1. Alternatives Considered but Reiected
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(c), an EIR should identify any
alternatives that were considered for analysis but rejected as infeasible and briefly
explain the reasons for their rejection. According to the CEQA Guidelines, among the
factors that may be used to eliminate alternatives from detailed consideration are the
alternative's failures to meet most of the basic project objectives, the alternative's
infeasibility, or the alternative's inability to avoid significant environmental impacts.
Two alternatives were considered but rejected, as discussed below.
Alternative Site Alternative. Among the factors that may be taken into account when
addressing the feasibility of alternatives are site suitability and whether the proponent
can reasonably acquire, control, or otherwise have access to the alternative site (or
the site is already owned by the proponent). Only locations that would avoid or
substantially lessen any of the Project's significant effects need be considered for
inclusion. The Applicant does not retain any ownership rights to other properties within
the City limits and there are no other infill sites available that are adequately sized and
environmentally compatible.
29 82
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
No Tonciolf Facility/18-Hole Golf Course Alternative. The Lakes at EI Segundo,
including the nine -hole executive golf course, practice facility with driving range
containing 57 hitting bays and a putting green, a club house and associated facilities,
and water features, encompasses approximately 30 acres. This Alternative involves
expanding the existing golf course from nine to 18 holes and retaining the associated
facilities. This Alternative excludes the proposed Specific Plan and Topgolf facility.
According to the Golfsmith, the sizes of 18 -hole golf courses vary, although the
distance hole to hole is generally between 5,000 and 7,000 yards. In order to
accommodate the rough, fairways, tee areas, clubhouse, driving range, and practice
greens, most golf courses encompass between 110 to 190 acres. Concerning urban
courses, the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America reported that an 18 -
hole golf facility, which includes bodies of water, hard structures and out -of -play areas,
averages between 150 and 200 acres. Typically, urban golf courses are approximately
110 to 120 acres, while resort area courses are approximately 170 to 190 acres.
The 18 -Hole Golf Course Alternative was eliminated from detailed consideration, since
the approximately 30 -acre Project site is not large enough to accommodate an 18 -hole
golf course, which requires approximately 110 acres. Additionally, although the
degree of environmental impacts associated with this Alternative would likely be less
than with the Project, this Alternative would require mitigation similar to the Project to
ensure impacts remain less than significant. Therefore, this Alternative would not
avoid the Project's environmental impacts. Finally, this Alternative was eliminated
from detailed consideration, since it failed to meet the Project's most basic objective
to provide for superior, more comprehensive site planning of The Lakes Specific Plan
area and development standards that address the needs of the site's unique public
recreation and commercial recreation uses. This Alternative would likely create
additional revenue opportunities for the City, however, to a lesser degree than the
Project. Finally, this Alternative would not reduce the City's deferred maintenance
exposure.
2. No Proiect Alternative
a) Description:
The 30.79 -acre site is generally triangular shaped and level (encompasses
Assessor Parcel Numbers 4138-014-913 and 4138-014-806). The property is
currently developed with the following facilities: The Lakes at EI Segundo (a 26.54 -
acre publically owned executive golf course, a two level driving range, putting
green, a club house and associated facilities, and water features); Southern
California Edison Easement (3.58 -acre easement to the east); and West Basin
Municipal Water District Property (0.67 -acre undeveloped property with ground
cover and perimeter landscaping).
The Lakes at EI Segundo golf course currently operates from 6:00 a.m. to dusk,
and the practice facility operates from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The clubhouse and
pro shop operate from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The pro shop's restaurant/grill and
bar opens at 7:00 a.m. and closes at dusk.
The "No Project" Alternative would retain the Project site in its current condition
and the land uses would continue to operate "business as usual." With this
Alternative, the site would remain developed with the existing The Lakes at EI
30 83
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
Segundo golf course and associated facilities. Under the "No Project" Alternative,
The Lakes at EI Segundo Specific Plan would not be adopted. New land use types
(i.e., commercial), would not be introduced, as proposed by the Project. None of
the proposed amendments to the EI Segundo General Plan (General Plan) or
General Plan Map, or Zoning/EI Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) would be
implemented. The existing surface parking lots would remain.
The "No Project" Alternative would maintain the existing land use designations, as
detailed in Table 3-3, Existing Land Use Designations and Zoning. As indicated in
Table 3-2, The Lakes at EI Segundo Existing Development, existing development
totals 14,204 square feet and a floor area ratio (FAR) of approximately 0.012.
Under this Alternative, no structures would be demolished, and the existing floor
area and floor area ratios would be retained. The Lakes at EI Segundo executive
golf course, practice facilities, restaurants/bar, pro shop and other event space
would continue to operate similar to existing hours.
b) Finding:
The City Council finds that the "No Project" Alternative would not attain most of the
Project's basic objectives. It would not provide a superior, more comprehensive
site planning of The Lakes Specific Plan area and development standards that
address the needs of the site's unique public recreation and commercial recreation
uses. This Alternative would only meet one Project objective, as the uses within
The Lakes Specific Plan area would be consistent with prior zoning and compatible
with adjacent uses. However, no additional recreational opportunities or additional
revenue opportunities would be generated for the City, nor would the City reduce
deferred maintenance exposure.
3. Larger Topqolf Facilitv Alternative
a) Description:
The proposed Project would be the smallest Topgolf facility, with 104 driving bays.
The "Larger Topgolf Facility" Alternative assumes the typical size of a Topgolf
facility, which includes 120 driving bays. The "Larger Topgolf Facility" Alternative
assumes facilities similar to the Project, although an additional of 75,000 square
feet would be developed. Under this Alternative, the existing driving range would
be replaced with a three-story Topgolf commercial recreation and entertainment
facility. The new facility would include an approximately 37,500 square -foot hitting
bay and seating/waiting area, with private suites. To accommodate the larger
Topgolf facility, this Alternative includes modifying the fairways and layout at the
existing golf course, including modifying the existing 9th hole at The Lakes Golf
Course, which is currently a par 4 hole (approximately 260 feet in length).
Under this Alternative, buildout of the Specific Plan area could not exceed the
maximum allowed development under the Specific Plan or the specified FAR,
which compared to the proposed Project would involve an additional approximately
75,000 square feet.
b) Finding:
31 84
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project (EA -1135)
Environmental Findings of Fact
The "Larger Topgolf Facility" Alternative would attain most of the Project's basic
objectives. It would provide a superior, more comprehensive site planning of The
Lakes Specific Plan area and development standards that address the needs of
the site's unique public recreation and commercial recreation uses. As with this
Project, with this Alternative, the uses within The Lakes Specific Plan area would
be consistent with prior zoning and compatible with adjacent uses. Additional
recreational opportunities and additional revenue opportunities would be
generated for the City, however, to a greater degree than the Project. As with the
Project, the City would reduce deferred maintenance exposure with this
Alternative.
4. Environmentally Superior Alternative
In compliance with PRC §15126.6(d), a matrix displaying the major characteristics and
significant environmental effects of each alternative is included in the FEIR; see Table
7-1, Comparison of Alternatives. The purpose of this matrix is to summarize a
comparison of project alternatives. Pursuant to PRC §15126.6, it is required that one
alternative be identified as the environmentally superior alternative. Furthermore, if
the environmentally superior alternative is the "No Project" alternative, the FEIR must
also identify the environmentally superior alternative from among the other
alternatives. As indicated in FEIR Table 7-1, the "No Project" Alternative is the
environmentally superior alternative, because it would avoid most impacts associated
with development of the proposed Project. Therefore, in compliance with CEQA
requirements, an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives is
identified below. The single other Alternative analyzed, the "Larger Topgolf Facility"
Alternative would result in greater impacts than the Project. Therefore, there are no
other alternatives considered environmentally superior to the Project.
III. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter that
the proposed Project would not result in temporary or permanent significant and unavoidable
effects for any of the environmental issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no Statement of Overriding Considerations is necessary.
IV. SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
The City Council finds and declares that each and every finding made herein is supported by
substantial evidence in the administrative record.
V. CERTIFICATION OF EIR
The City Council hereby certifies that the Final Environmental Impact Report SCH #2016091003,
dated May 2017, for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project has been completed in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and reflects the City's independent
judgment and analysis.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND
REPORTING PROGRAM
Section 1.0, Executive Summarv, and Section 5.0, Environmental Analvsis, identify the mitigation
measures that will be implemented to avoid or lessen the environmental impacts associated with
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project. Public Resources Code § 21081.6 requires a public
agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with
any required mitigation measures applied to the proposed development:
... the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the
project which it has adopted, or made a condition of project approval, in order to mitigate
or avoid significant effects on the environment.
Public Resources Code Section § 21081.6 also provides general guidelines for implementing
mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting/monitoring requirements
enforced during Project implementation must be defined before Final EIR certification.
The mitigation monitoring table provided below lists mitigation measures that can be included as
conditions of approval for the Project. These measures correspond to those outlined in Section
1_0 and discussed in Section 5.0. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly
implemented, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been drafted to identify
the timing and responsibility for each measure. The City of EI Segundo will have the primary
responsibility for monitoring and reporting implementation of the mitigation measures.

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZ-1 Before a Demolition Permit is issued, an environmental
professional with Phase II/site characterization experience
must conduct an inspection of existing onsite structures. The
inspection must determine whether or not testing is required to
confirm the presence or absence of hazardous substances in
building materials (e.g., sinks, drains, piping, flooring, walls,
ceiling tiles). Should testing be required and results determine
that hazardous substances are present in onsite building
materials, the Phase II/site characterization specialist must
determine appropriate prevention/remediation measures that

• Impact tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and
rock drills) used for Project construction are required to be
hydraulically or electronically powered wherever possible to
avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from
pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of
pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler must be
used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust
by up to approximately 10 dBA. External jackets on the

radius, a Notice was posted at The Lakes clubhouse facility, and a Notice
was posted on the City's website;
H. On May 25, 2017, the Final EIR was completed and Notice was provided
via mail to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the subject site,
and on May 25, 2017 a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald
announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on June 8, 2017 to review the Final EIR and the entitlement
applications for the proposed project;
On June 8, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant;
J. On June 8, 2017, at the request of the Applicant, the Planning Commission
continued the public hearing to June 22, 2017;
K. On June 22, 2017, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing
to July 13, 2017;
L. On July 13, 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of EI Segundo
adopted Resolution No. 2820, recommending that the City Council certify
the EIR, make certain environmental findings of fact, and adopt a Mitigation

go
Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf
Project;
M. The City Council of the City of EI Segundo held a duly noticed public hearing
on September 5, 2017, to review and consider the staff report prepared for
the project, receive public testimony, and review all correspondence
received on the project;
N. On September 5, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5054,
certifying the EIR, making certain environmental findings of fact, and
adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes
Specific Plan and Topgolf Project;
O. On October 3, 2017, the City Council considered the entitlements
associated with the project, such as a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, Zone Text Amendment, Lakes Specific Plan, Lot Line Adjustment
and Conditional Use Permit for the TopGolf Project; however, motions to
approve the Ordinance project failed, and the City Council did not approve
the project;
P. Subsequently, in late 2017 and early 2018, the City Council directed staff to
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakes golf course to determine
whether other recreational uses or projects might be conducted on the
Property;
Q. In September 2018, the City Council selected the proposed
Applicant/Developer and Topgolf project as one of two finalists and the
parties are attempting to negotiate a lease with respect to the operation of
the Lakes;
R. On November 21, 2018, the Applicant filed a request that the City
reconsider the proposed Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf project as
presented and analyzed in 2017;
S. On December 20, 2018, the Applicant submitted a slightly modified version
of the project, which included the following modifications:
• The upper level roof terrace would decrease from 2,687 GSF to 1,364
GSF,
• The previously proposed 2,084-GSF bar on the middle level is excluded
and a new 1,648-GSF bar is proposed on the upper level,
• The previously proposed middle level 2,897-GSF of event space is
excluded, and 2,085 GSF of new event space is proposed on the upper
level,
• A new 1,466 -SF kitchen and 960 -SF dining area are proposed on the
middle level- no kitchen or dining area were previously proposed on the
middle level,
W11
95
• The ground level kitchen would decrease from 2,410 SF to 1,346 SF,
• A new 1,936 -SF bar is proposed on the ground level- no bar was
previously proposed on the ground level,
• The ground level 1,655 -SF lounge area is excluded, and
• The upper level 240 -SF lounge area is excluded.
T. On January 8, 2019, the City's environmental consultant completed an
independent review of the modified project and determined that no new
significant environmental impacts would result, the modifications would not
increase the severity of any effects previously identified in the EIR, and the
modified project generally involves a redistribution of floor space with no
new or dissimilar land uses proposed. Thus, the City's environmental
consultant concluded that the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
U. On January 10, 2019, a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald and
Notice mailed to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject
property, announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on January 24, 2019, to consider the proposed modified
project;
V. On January 24, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant; and,
W. This Resolution, and its findings, are made, in part, based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its June 8, and July 13,
2017 public hearings and upon the evidence presented to the City Council
at its September 5, 2017 public hearing including, and based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its January 24, 2019
public hearing and upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its
October 15, 2019 public hearing including, without limitation, the staff
reports, Initial Study, Draft EIR and Final EIR submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The City Council finds as follows:
A. The project site consists of three areas totaling approximately 31 -acres,
comprised of the 26.54 -acre Lakes at EI Segundo golf course, a 3.58 -acre
portion of the abutting SCE property to the east of the golf course, and a
0.67 -acre portion of the abutting West Basin Municipal Water District
(WBMWD) property to the south of the golf course, generally located at 400
South Pacific Coast Highway, in the southeast quadrant of the City of EI
Segundo;
IN
99
B. The proposed project includes The Lakes Specific Plan and a new Topgolf
facility. The associated applications consists of:
(i) Environmental Assessment No. EA -1135, to certify and approve a
Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and an associated Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP);
(ii) General Plan Amendment No. 16-01, to change the underlying
General Plan Land Use designation of the Lakes at EI Segundo golf
course property from "Parks", to "The Lakes Specific Plan";
(iii) Zone Change No. ZC 16-01, to change the underlying Zoning
designation from O -S (Open Space), to TLSP (The Lakes Specific
Plan) with two Subareas classified PR/OS (Public Recreation/Open
Space) measuring 16.06 -acres and CR/OS (Commercial
Recreation/Open Space) measuring 10.49 -acres;
(iv) Specific Plan No. SP 16-02, to create a new specific plan for the Lakes
at EI Segundo golf course that specifies the uses permitted within the
Specific Plan area, and establishes development standards tailored to
the unique recreation and entertainment uses for the specific plan
area;
(v) Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04, to add the new TLSP (The
Lakes Specific Plan) Zoning designation to the Zoning Code;
(vi) Site Plan Review No. 16-01, for the development within The Lakes
Specific Plan area, including a new Topgolf building, a redeveloped
clubhouse, and modified holes in the golf course. Specifically, the
development includes:
a) Replace the existing driving range with a three-story approximately
67,500 gross square -foot Topgolf commercial recreation and
entertainment facility. The new facility will measure approximately
55 -feet in overall height, and include 102 hitting bays (34 on each
level) with seating/waiting area) consisting of private suites)
measuring 35,000 square -feet. From these hitting bays, players
would hit balls into an open area that would be surrounded by
netting and support poles (up to 175 feet in height) that are
designed to block/contain errant balls. The facility will also include
approximately 10,000 square feet of restaurant, bar, and kitchen
space; 2,085 square feet of meeting and event space; 1,638
square feet of office space; 522 square feet of lounge space; 1,130
square feet of lobby space; and approximately 17,000 square feet
of storage, circulation, and miscellaneous space. The facility will
also include approximately 1,400 square feet of outdoor terrace on
the third floor and a 5,400 square foot outdoor patio on the lower
level providing entertainment in the form of live music from a band
or disc jockey (DJ). All DJ's and bands would be required to
connect to the facility's in-house sound system and speakers,
allowing the ability to control the volume and other sound levels.
All overhead speakers would be oriented inward and down to the
-5-
97
facility's floors. Lastly, the driving range grass would be replaced
with a high density fiber turf;
b) Modify and expand the existing parking lot to accommodate a total
of 438 spaces on-site, and 26 spaces on the abutting WBMWD
property through a license agreement between the City of EI
Segundo and WBMWD. Thus a minimum total of 464 parking
spaces will serve both the Topgolf facility and the existing golf
course facility;
c) Modify the fairways and layouts of six holes at the existing golf
course;
d) Install lighting throughout the nine -hole golf course to
accommodate nighttime play. The lighting would primarily be
concentrated at the tee boxes and greens; and,
e) Demolish the existing clubhouse, and construct a new one-story
clubhouse measuring 2,500 square feet, with a 1,010 square foot
outdoor patio overlooking a new putting and chip -shot practice
area.
(vii) Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03, to reconfigure the existing two
parcels in The Lakes Specific Plan; and,
(viii) Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 16-05, to allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the
clubhouse and Topgolf facilities.
C. Development standards have been developed for the Specific Plan and all
uses within the Plan area must be compliant. The allowed uses identified in
the development standards include the proposed development and uses;
D. The proposed General Plan re -designation and rezoning of the Project Site
would change the General Plan land use designation from "Parks", to "The
Lakes Specific Plan" (TLSP) land use designation and rezone the area from
Open Space (O -S) to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone;
E. The TLSP contains two Subareas classified PR/OS (Public
Recreation/Open Space) on the northern portion of the specific plan area
measuring 16.06 -acres, and CR/OS (Commercial Recreation/Open Space)
on the southern portion of the specific plan area measuring 10.49 -acres;
F. The Applicant is required to make all necessary and applicable impact fee
payments prior to building permit issuance, including the one-time fire
services mitigation fee, the one-time police services mitigation fee, one-time
park services mitigation fee, and one-time traffic mitigation.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. In City Council Resolution No. , adopted
concurrently herewith, the City Council certified the EIR, adopted certain Environmental
Findings of Fact, and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for The
Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project. the following environmental findings are made:
IN
99
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064 and 15081, and based upon
information contained in the Initial Study, the City ordered the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Project. The City
contracted with independent consultants for the preparation of the technical
studies for the EIR and on September 1, 2016, prepared and sent a Notice
of Preparation of the EIR to responsible, trustee, and other interested
agencies and persons in accordance with Guidelines Section 15082(a).
Comments on the Notice of Preparation were accepted during the 33 -day
comment period ending on October 3, 2016. During the scoping period, the
City held an advertised public meeting on September 8, 2016, to facilitate
public input regarding the scope of the EIR.
B. The City completed the Draft EIR, together with those certain technical
studies (the "Appendices"), on January 26, 2017. The City circulated the
Draft EIR and the Appendices to the public and other interested parties from
January 26, 2017 through March 13, 2017, for a 47 -day comment period.
In addition to receiving written comments submitted during this time, public
comments were received at an advertised public commenting session on
February 2, 2017. Advertisement of the public commenting session was
provided by a Notice published in the El Segundo Herald, a Notice mailed
to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius, a Notice posted at The Lakes
clubhouse facility, and a Notice was posted on the City's website.
C. During the Draft EIR public comment period, including at the February 2,
2017 public commenting session, the City received numerous letters and
comments. Responses to each of the individual comments were prepared
and made available on May 25, 2017. The comments and responses are
part of section 11.3 of the Final EIR, and are incorporated herein by
reference. The written responses to comments were made available for
public review in the Planning and Building Safety Department, at the EI
Segundo Public Library and on the City's website. After reviewing the
responses to comments, the revisions to the Draft EIR, and the Final EIR,
the Planning Commission finds that the information and issues raised by
the comments and the responses thereto do not constitute significant new
information requiring recirculation of the EIR.
D. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR, an errata thereto, comments
and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, a list of persons,
organizations and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR, the City's
Responses to Comments, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
E. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and considered the
content of the Final EIR, all written and oral public communications, and all
other evidence before the Commission prior to making a recommendation
IVA
99
to the City Council on the proposed project. The Planning Commission
hereby finds that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance with
CEQA and reflects the independent judgment of the City. Although minor
revisions have been made to the Draft EIR in response to comments
received during the public process, no significant new information has been
added to the EIR since public notice was given of the availability of the Draft
EIR for public review. Consequently, recirculation of the EIR is not required
pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
F. The comments regarding the Draft EIR and the responses to those
comments were received by the Commission; that the Planning
Commission received documents and public testimony regarding the
adequacy of the EIR; and the Planning Commission has reviewed and
considered all such documents, testimony and the Final EIR prior to making
its recommendation to the City Council on the Project. In accordance with
Guidelines Section 15090, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
G. Based upon the Final EIR and the record before the Planning Commission,
the Commission finds the Project will not cause any significant
environmental impacts after mitigation. Detailed explanations for why the
impacts were found to be less than significant are contained in the draft
Findings of Fact attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution.
H. The EIR describes, and the Planning Commission fully considered, a
reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. On the whole, the
proposed Project is environmentally superior to other feasible alternatives.
Thus, all other alternatives and variations are infeasible or not
environmentally preferable for the reasons set forth in the Findings of Fact.
On the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter, the
Commission finds that the proposed Project would not result in temporary
or permanent significant and unavoidable effects for any of the
environmental issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no Statement of Overriding Considerations is
necessary.
J. Although the project has been slightly modified, as described above in
Section 1.S, no new significant environmental impacts result from the
modified project, the modifications do not increase the severity of any
effects previously identified in the EIR, and the modified project generally
involves a redistribution of floor space with no new or dissimilar land uses
proposed. As such, the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
100
SECTION 4: General Plan Amendment Findings. The City Council makes the following
findings:
A. Specific Plans create "mini -zoning" regulations for land uses within
particular areas of the City. All future development plans and entitlements
within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards
set forth in the adopted Specific Plan, even when they may be different from
the general regulations within the ESMC.
B. The proposed amendment is in the public interest, and there will be a
community benefit resulting from the amendment. The Lakes Specific Plan
provides flexibility for The Lakes golf course to expand its existing
operations or develop new facilities that are compatible with the existing
facilities and uses. The Specific Plan includes a development concept that
accounts for and allows for the Topgolf facility; includes new land use and
zoning categories and identifies the properties that are effected; includes
design guidelines to help promote high-quality development; and
development standards to address uses, lot area, height, setbacks, floor
area, parking, landscaping and signage. All development in the project area
is subject to the development standards and requirements of the specific
plan.

mulches), the preservation of vegetative covers, and efficiently designed
and managed irrigation systems.
H. The proposed amendment is consistent with the following goals, policies
and objectives of the Noise Element of the City's General Plan:
• Goal N1: Encourage a high quality environment within all parts of the
City of EI Segundo where the public's health, safety, and welfare are not
adversely affected by excessive noise.

SECTION 5: Zone Change Findings.
stil
105
A. Based on the factual findings of this Resolution, the proposed Zone Change
is necessary to carry out the proposed project because the proposed
General Plan Amendment would change the land use classification of the
project site from Parks, to The Lakes Specific Plan. The proposed Zone
Change is necessary to maintain consistency with the proposed General
Plan land use designation of The Lakes Specific Plan.
B. The purpose of ESMC Title 15 is to implement the goals, objectives and
policies of the EI Segundo General Plan. The zone change is consistent
with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies discussed in Section 4
of this resolution.
SECTION 6: General Plan Amendment. The City Council makes the following
amendments to the EI Segundo General Plan:
A. An amendment to the text in the "Land Use Designations — Open Space
Designations" subsection of the Land Use Element to add The Lakes
Specific Plan designation, including a description of the allowed uses and
the maximum land use densities allowed. The corresponding changes are
set forth in attached Exhibit "A"
B. An amendment to the text in the "Proposed Land Use — Southeast
Quadrant" subsection of the Land Use Element, to reflect the changes
resulting from The Lakes Specific Plan. The corresponding changes are
set forth in attached Exhibit "B".
C. An amendment to the "1992 General Plan Summary of Existing Trends
Buildout" table contained in the Land Use Element, to reflect the changes
resulting to the land use categories by The Lakes Specific Plan. The
corresponding changes are set forth in attached Exhibit "C".
D. An amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map to reflect the change in
the land use designation from Parks to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP).
The corresponding change to the General Plan Land Use Map is set forth
in attached Exhibit "D".
SECTION 7: Lot Line Adjustment. The proposed lot line adjustment is indicated on
Exhibit E. Based on the facts set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the
administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the proposed Lot Line
Adjustment is consistent with the evaluation criteria set forth in ESMC § 14-4-4 in that the
lots/parcels will conform to the zoning criteria contained in The Lakes Specific Plan and
the TLSP Zone, as both parcels will exceed the 10 -acre minimum lot area. The proposed
lot line adjustment also conforms to all applicable building codes.
SECTION 8: Site Plan Review. The proposed site plan layout includes a new golf -themed
commercial recreation and entertainment facility with a restaurant/bar, a redeveloped
clubhouse, modified holes in the golf course, and golf course lighting, as detailed above
5"
106
in Section 2.13(vi) of this Resolution. The City Council has considered all of the Site Plan
Review Criteria set forth in the Lakes Specific Plan and, based on the facts recited herein
and on the evidence in the administrative record as a whole, the Council finds the Site
Plan is consistent with and complies with the development standards set forth in The
Lakes Specific Plan.
SECTION 9: Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to Section 15-23-6 of the EI Segundo
Municipal Code, and based on the factual findings set forth hereinabove and on the whole
of the administrative record, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives
of this Title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located, and
the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone
in which the site is located.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan have created a zoning
designation and development standards specific to the subject property.
The zone, via The Lakes Specific Plan, allows onsite beer, wine and alcohol
in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and
Topgolf facilities subject to the granting of a conditional use permit pursuant
to ESMC Section 15 -5F -5(I). Onsite beer, wine and alcohol is appropriate
to this location as it will be part of the restaurants and entertainment facility,
and distributed throughout the site. The proposal is consistent with the
purpose of The Lakes Specific Plan, which is to further the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, which are contained in Section 4 of this
Resolution.
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; there is compatibility of the particular use on
the particular site in relationship to other existing and potential uses within
the general area in which the use is proposed to be located; and potential
impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards have been
recognized and compensated for
The proposed location of the conditional use is in an urbanized area of the
City that is developed with a golf course, driving range, and clubhouse that
currently offers alcoholic beverages at the restaurant and banquet facilities.
The proposed onsite beer, wine and alcohol will be distributed throughout
the Specific Plan area, in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of
the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities, which will be located primarily indoors
and sufficiently set back from Pacific Coast Highway. No sensitive land
uses are adjacent to or near the Specific Plan area that could be impacted
-15-
107
by the operation of the onsite beer, wine and alcohol in the restaurants, bar
and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities. Further,
outdoor dining activities are not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent
businesses and no residential uses are located in the vicinity. The use is
also subject to certain conditions in the attached Exhibit A. Lastly, the EI
Segundo Police Department has not identified the subject property as a high
crime area. Accordingly, given the commercial and
industrial/manufacturing nature of the surrounding uses and immediate
area, and the absence of any residential uses located in the vicinity, the
proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this Chapter.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan created development
standards specific to the subject property, with specified uses, lot area, lot
coverage, height, and other restrictions which allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse
and Topgolf facilities. Further, the proposed conditional use complies with
the applicable provisions of ESMC Chapters 15-23 and 15-27 since proper
notice was provided and proper hearing was conducted on June 8, 2017.
In addition, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and
the required findings considered and adopted by the City Council at a future
noticed public hearing. Lastly, appropriate conditions have been included
to minimize impacts.
D. ABC has issued or will issue a license to sell alcohol to the applicant.
The City currently maintains a license from ABC for on-site sale and
consumption of beer and wine (Type 41). The future operator of the golf -
themed commercial recreation and entertainment facility will apply for a
separate license with ABC to sell alcohol.
SECTION 10: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Resolutions, Minutes and the whole of the administrative
record, the City Council of the City of EI Segundo hereby:
A. Approves Environmental Assessment No. EA -1135, General Plan
Amendment No. 16-01, Site Plan Review No. 16-01, Lot Line Adjustment
No. SUB 16-03, and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 16-05, subject to the
conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit "F" and incorporated
herein by this reference.
5110
SECTION 11: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence,
both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings
and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City
Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in
the record as a whole.
SECTION 12: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project
is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a
project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not
exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of
knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form
accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the city's ability to
solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must
work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent
in that framework.
SECTION 13: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record.
The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a
particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 14: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a
subsequent resolution.
SECTION 15: A copy of this Resolution must be mailed to CenterCal Properties,
LLC, and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 16: Effective Date: Environmental Assessment No. EA -1135 will
become effective immediately upon adoption of this Resolution. General Plan
Amendment No 16-01, Site Plan Review No. 16-01, Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03
and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP -16-05 will become effective on the Effective Date
of Ordinance No.

converted to mixed commercial/residential uses and these buildings are expected to remain for the life of the Plan.
2 The heavy industrial shown on this plan includes the Chevron Refinery and former Southern California Edison
Generation Station. These facilities have processing equipment and tanks rather than buildings and are expected to
remain for the life of the Plan. Therefore, no estimated building square footage is shown.

pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler must be used; this
muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up to approximately 10
dBA. External jackets on the tools themselves must be used where feasible,
and this could achieve a reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter procedures must be
used, such as drills rather than impact equipment, whenever feasible.
• A qualified "Noise Disturbance Coordinator" will be retained amongst the
construction crew to be responsible for responding to any local complaints
about construction noise. When a complaint is received, the Disturbance
Coordinator shall notify the City within 24 hours of the complaint and
determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early,
malfunctioning muffler, etc.) and implement reasonable measures to resolve
the compliant, as deemed acceptable by the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
• Select demolition methods to minimize vibration, where possible (e.g.,
sawing masonry into sections rather than demolishing it by pavement
breakers).

an independent review of the modified project and determined that
no new significant environmental impacts would result, the
modifications would not increase the severity of any effects
previously identified in the EIR, and the modified project generally
involves a redistribution of floor space with no new or dissimilar land
uses proposed. Thus, the City's environmental consultant concluded
that the modifications are adequately covered by the previous EIR,
and no additional CEQA analysis is required.

the Planning Commission at its June 8, and July 13, 2017 public
hearings and upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its
4
145
September 5, 2017 public hearing including, and based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its January 24,
2019 public hearing and upon the evidence presented to the City
Council at its October 15, 2019 public hearing and the staff report

the preparation of the technical studies for the EIR and on September
1, 2016, prepared and sent a Notice of Preparation of the EIR to
responsible, trustee, and other interested agencies and persons in
accordance with Guidelines Section 15082(a). Comments on the
Notice of Preparation were accepted during the 33 -day comment
period ending on October 3, 2016. During the scoping period, the
City held an advertised public meeting on September 8, 2016, to
facilitate public input regarding the scope of the EIR.
B. The City completed the Draft EIR, together with those certain
technical studies (the "Appendices"), on January 26, 2017. The City

Final EIR, and are incorporated herein by reference. The written
responses to comments were made available for public review in the
Planning and Building Safety Department, at the EI Segundo Public
Library and on the City's website. After reviewing the responses to
comments, the revisions to the Draft EIR, and the Final EIR, the
Planning Commission finds that the information and issues raised by
5
146
the comments and the responses thereto do not constitute significant
new information requiring recirculation of the EIR.
D. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR, an errata thereto,
comments and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, a list of
persons, organizations and public agencies commenting on the Draft
EIR, the City's Responses to Comments, and the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program.
E. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and
considered the content of the Final EIR, all written and oral public
communications, and all other evidence before the Commission prior
to making a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed
project. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Final EIR
has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment of the City. Although minor revisions have
been made to the Draft EIR in response to comments received during
the public process, no significant new information has been added to
the EIR since public notice was given of the availability of the Draft
EIR for public review. Consequently, recirculation of the EIR is not
required pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
F. The comments regarding the Draft EIR and the responses to those
comments were received by the Commission; that the Planning
Commission received documents and public testimony regarding the
adequacy of the EIR; and the Planning Commission has reviewed
and considered all such documents, testimony and the Final EIR
prior to making its recommendation to the City Council on the Project.
In accordance with Guidelines Section 15090, the Planning
Commission hereby finds that the Final EIR has been completed in
compliance with CEQA and reflects the independent judgment and
analysis of the City.
G. Based upon the Final EIR and the record before the Planning
Commission, the Commission finds the Project will not cause any
significant environmental impacts after mitigation. Detailed
explanations for why the impacts were found to be less than
significant are contained in the draft Findings of Fact attached as
Exhibit A to this Resolution.
H. The EIR describes, and the Planning Commission fully considered,
a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. On the whole, the
proposed Project is environmentally superior to other feasible
alternatives. Thus, all other alternatives and variations are infeasible
or not environmentally preferable for the reasons set forth in the
Findings of Fact.
6
147
On the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter,
the Commission finds that the proposed Project would not result in
temporary or permanent significant and unavoidable effects for any
of the environmental issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State
CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no Statement of Overriding
Considerations is necessary.
J. Although the project has been slightly modified, as described above
in Section 1.S, no new significant environmental impacts result from
the modified project, the modifications do not increase the severity
of any effects previously identified in the EIR, and the modified
project generally involves a redistribution of floor space with no new
or dissimilar land uses proposed. As such, the modifications are
adequately covered by the previous EIR, and no additional CEQA
analysis is required.
SECTION 3: The City Council approves Zone Change No. 16-01, amending the
Zoning Map to change the zoning designation of the Project area at 400 Pacific
Coast Highway from Open Space (O -S) to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP), as set
forth and illustrated in attached Exhibit "A", based on the following factual findings:
A. The proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed
project because the proposed General Plan Amendment would
change the land use classification of the project site from Parks, to
The Lakes Specific Plan. The proposed Zone Change is necessary
to maintain consistency with the proposed General Plan land use
designation of The Lakes Specific Plan.
B. The purpose of ESMC Title 15 is to implement the goals, objectives
and policies of the EI Segundo General Plan. The zone change is
consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies
discussed in Section 4 of this resolution.
SECTION 4: Specific Plan. The City Council makes the following findings:
A. Specific Plans create "mini -zoning" regulations for land uses within
particular areas of the City. All future development plans and
entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent
with the standards set forth in the adopted Specific Plan, even when
they may be different from the general regulations within the ESMC.
B. The proposed specific plan is in the public interest, and there will be
a community benefit resulting from the specific plan. The Lakes
Specific Plan provides flexibility for The Lakes golf course to expand
its existing operations or develop new facilities that are compatible
7
148
with the existing facilities and uses. The Specific Plan includes a
development concept that accounts for and allows for the Topgolf
facility; includes new land use and zoning categories and identifies
the properties that are effected; includes design guidelines to help
promote high-quality development; and development standards to
address uses, lot area, height, setbacks, floor area, parking,
landscaping and signage. All development in the project area is
subject to the development standards and requirements of the
specific plan. The Lakes Specific Plan is set forth and illustrated in
attached Exhibit "B".
SECTION 5: Zone TextAmendment Findings. Based on the factual findings of this
Resolution, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is necessary to carry out the
proposed project to establish the proposed The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone.
An amendment to ESMC § 15-3-2(A)(11) to create The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP)
Zone is necessary for consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 6: EI Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) §15-3-2, subsection (a) is
amended to add subsection (11) to read as follows:
11. The Lakes Specific Plan: There is one zone intended to be used
within the boundaries of The Lakes Specific Plan. The zone is:
TLSP — The Lakes Specific Plan
Further. The Lakes Specific Plan area is comprised of two subareas
identified as PUB-REC/OS (Public Recreation/O_aen S_aace) and COM-
REC/OS (Commercial Recreation/Ogen Space)"
SECTION 7: Specific Plan Findings. Creation of The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP)
is desirable to implement the Project. Without amending the ESMC, the current
zoning would not permit commercial entertainment and recreational development.
An amendment to ESMC § 15-3-2(A) to create The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) is
necessary for consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 8: Actions. The City Council takes the following actions:
A. The City's Zoning Map is amended by changing the Project site from
"Open Space (O -S) to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP)." The
corresponding changes to the Zoning Map are set forth in attached
Exhibit "A".
B. The Lakes Specific Plan is adopted as set forth in attached Exhibit
"B," which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.
C. To the extent they are not otherwise adopted or approved by this
8
149
Ordinance, the City Council approves General Plan Amendment No.
16-01, Zone Change No. ZC 16-01, Specific Plan No. SP 16-02,
Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04.
SECTION 9: Technical Corrections. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized
to make technical corrections, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to maps,
diagrams, tables, and other, similar, documents (collectively, "Maps") that may be
required to reconcile the changes made by this Ordinance with amendments made
to the Zoning Map by other City Council action in unrelated land use applications.
SECTION 10: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial
evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and
determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely
supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 11: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the
Project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of
the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is
the City Council's knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have
been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the
limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and
national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework
within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 12: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the
record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an
indication that a particular finding, is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 13: Effectiveness of ESMC. Repeal or amendment of any provision of
the ESMC will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before or
preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before
this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and
effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective
date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 14: Recordation. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of EI Segundo's
book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the
records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with
California law.
9
150
SECTION 15: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that
such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 16: Effective Date. This Ordinance will go into effect and be in full force
and effect on the thirty-first (31st) day after its passage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 2019.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) area is located in the City of El Segundo, County of Los Angeles,
California. El Segundo is situated 15 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The City of El
Segundo is located south of the City of Los Angeles, west of the City of Hawthorne and the County
of Los Angeles, north of the City of Manhattan Beach, and the east of the City of Los Angeles and
the Pacific Ocean (refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Vicinity Map).
More specifically, the roughly 26.5 gross acre area within the Specific Plan is located in the
southeast quadrant of the City of El Segundo, approximately 2.0 miles south of the Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) and the Glen Anderson Century Freeway (1-105), two miles west of
the San Diego Freeway (SR -405), and approximately 2.0 miles west of the juncture of these two
freeways. The site is bounded by a small commercial shopping center and El Segundo Boulevard
to the north, the Southern California Edison high voltage transmission lines and the Raytheon
Company Campus to the east, Hughes Way and a public storage facility to the south, the West
Basin Municipal Water District Water Recycling Facility to the southeast, and Pacific Coast
Highway and the Chevron oil refinery to the west (refer to Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity Map, and
Exhibit 3, Local Vicinity Aerial View). The adjacent land uses are commercial retail and restaurant
uses in the Commercial General ( C-3) Zone and surface parking lot in the Automobile Parking
(P) Zone to the north; a mixture of commercial, industrial and recreational uses in the recently
adopted El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) to the east; the West Basin Municipal
Water District Water Recycling Facility and offices, light industrial and regional commercial retail
uses in the Public Facilities (P -F) Zone, Light Industrial (M-1) Zone, and Commercial Center (C-
4) Zone respectively to the south and southeast; and industrial uses in the Heavy Industrial (M-2)
Zone to the west. A Multi -Media Overlay (MMO) District overlies the entire eastern half of the
City, including the Specific Plan area.
A.1 SPECIF PLAN SUBAREAS
The Lakes Specific Plan area contains two subareas, as illustrated in Exhibit 5: Public Recreation
Open Space (PR/OS), and Commercial Recreation/Open Space (CR/OS).

restaurants and kitchen areas, meeting/event facilities, office space, bar areas, and lounges; and
surface parking for the TLSP area.
B. BACKGROUND
The Lakes at El Segundo is a municipal golf course owned by the City of El Segundo which opened
to the public in June 1994. The 9 -hole executive golf course and practice facilities (2 -level, 5,953
square -foot 57 bay driving range and putting green) are currently operated by the professional
management group Lane/Donovan Golf Partners with the support of City of El Segundo Parks and
Recreation Department staff. Additionally, the existing golf course has a 5,330 square -foot Pro
Shop with approximately 750 square feet of patio space used for outdoor dining. A small 396
square -foot storage building is located east of the Pro Shop, while a 1, square -foot maintenance
building is located at the northern end of the course. The golf course uses a 3.58 -acre portion of
the Southern California Edison property directly east of the golf course that will continue to be
used with the adoption of the Specific Plan. Currently, there are 26 parking spaces on a 0.25 -acre
portion of the abutting West Basin Municipal Water District property that the city will continue to
use. -,

Under the existing Open Space (O -S) development standards, an additional 912,437 square feet
could be built based on the limitations of 40 percent lot coverage and twenty-six foot high
buildings. This equates to a total FAR of 0.80. With the FAR, the Property is underdeveloped and
could support additional building area and recreational uses.
The City entered into a Lease Agreement with E.S. CenterCal, LLC ("CenterCal") which has a
Commencement Date of , 2019 to develop a commercial recreation and
entertainment golf facility on the site, as well as build a new Pro Shop and make modifications to
the existing golf course and green areas. The Lease Agreement was contingent on CEQA being
completed and the proposed project being approved by the City Council. In order to complete this
development, CenterCal filed for this Specific Plan in June 2016 along with other applications,
including an Environmental Assessment, a General Plan and Gene%1 Plan Map Amendment,
Zoning Map Amendment, Zone Text Amendment, Lot Line Adjustment, Site Plan Review and
Conditional Use Permit.
The intent of the Specific Plan is to allow development of the subareas identified by the Specific
Plan. Thus, adoption of this Specific Plan will allow future expansion of use permitted on the
site with development standards for each subarea that are tailored to the unique recreation and
entertainment uses in the Specific Plan area.

II. OVERVIEW OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
A. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY OF SPECIFIC PLAN
The purpose of this Specific Plan is to provide a regulatory framework to govern the land uses and
development within the subject area through the application of regulations, standards and design
guidelines. The Lakes Specific Plan provides text and exhibits which describe the proposed
subareas, land uses and associated guidelines, and development standards.
This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to Government Code §§ 65450 through 65457.
Pursuant to Government Code § 65451, a Specific Plan must include text and a diagram or
diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space
within the area covered by the plan.
• The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of ajor components of
public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal,
energy and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the land area
covered by the plan and needed toupport the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the
conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
• A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public
works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items.
• A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
A thorough ttview of the El Segundo General Plan shows that this Specific Plan is compatible and
consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. This Specific Plan will further
the goals and policies of the General Plan as more fully described below.
O
This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the essential relationship between the policies of the
El Segundo General Plan and the development anticipated in the Specific Plan area. By functioning
as a regulatory document, The Lakes Specific Plan provides a means of implementing the City of
El Segundo's General Plan. All future development plans and entitlements within the Specific Plan
boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in this document.
Final Draft Page 9 OCTOBER 15, 2019
166
B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS
The City of El Segundo is an employment -led community and accordingly, development has been
led by employment rather than housing growth. The Lakes Specific Plan will serve the mission of
economic development in the City which is to create, maintain, and implement a business climate
that fosters a strong economic community, develop a strategic plan that will result in business
retention and attraction, provide an effective level of City services to all elements of the
community, and maintain the quality of life that has characterized El Segundo for more than nine
decades.
Permitted uses within the Specific Plan area will create job opportunities and provide additional
recreational and entertainment options for the residential and bt1kiness community alike.
Furthermore, the growth allowed by the Specific Plan will create a synergy with other commercial
and industrial uses in the area by providing additional recreational and entertainment amenities in
the City which will help these businesses to attract and retain employees. The development allowed
under the Specific Plan will provide a basis for a positiv ontribution to the maintenance and
expansion of El Segundo's economic base as development ty ically increases the City's business
license taxes, increases the City's utility user taxes, and in ases the Cls sales taxes. An
increased economic base will provide the City with resources to rovide high-quality services to
its residents and daytime population.
C. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL P
The El Segundo General Plan provides the underlying fundamentals of The Lakes Specific Plan,
which serves both as a planning and regulatory document. The Specific Plan is the document
implementing the El Segundo General Plan for the Specific Plan area.
Proposed development plans, lot line adjustment maps, and any other development approvals must
be consistent with the Spific Plan. Projects consistent with this Specific Plan will be
d
automatically ed consi with the General Plan.
The Lakes Specific Plan requires a General Plan Amendment to change the Land Use designation
from Parks, to The Lakes Specific Plan with an accompanying Land Use Map change. With
approval of this amendment, the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan of the City of El
Segundo, that is, it is compatible with, and will not impede, the General Plan's goals, objectives
and policies. More particularly, The Lakes Specific Plan directly implements or furthers the intent
of the following goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan:
LAND USE ELEMENT
Goal LU4: Provide a stable tax base for the City through development of new commercial
uses, primarily within a mixed-use environment, without adversely affecting
the viability of Downtown.
Objective LU4-1: Promote the development of high quality retail facilities in
proximity to major employment centers.
Final Draft Page 10 OCTOBER 1 S, 2019

Goal LU6:
Goal LU7:
Final Draft
Policy LU4-1.1: Require landscaping, its maintenance, and permanent upkeep
on all new commercial developments.
Policy LU4-1.2: All commercial facilities shall be built and maintained in
accordance with Health and Safety Code requirements and shall

Objective LU4-4: Provide areas where development #as the flexibility to mix
uses, in an effort to provide synergistic relationships which
have the potential to maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic
impacts, and encourag destrian environments.
Maintain and upgrade the existing excellent parks, recreation, and open space
facilities within the City of El Segundo.
Objective LU6-1: The development of parks, open space, and recreational
facilities should be consistent with the guidelines, policies, and
programs of the Open Space and Recreation Element.
Policy LU6-1.1: Continue to'
recreational
residents and
NUNN
uniform and high quality park and
ities to all areas of the City, for use by
Policy LU6-1 3: Utilization of utility easements (flood control, power line
rights-of-way) for recreational, open space, and beautification

E. EXISTING LAND USES
The City of El Segundo has distinctive land use patterns, which are divided into four quadrants by
the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and El Segundo Boulevard. Compatibility of an
individual land use is determined mainly by its relationship to other uses within its quadrant. The
Lakes Specific Plan area is located in the southeastern quadrant of the City of El Segundo, which
is east of Pacific Coast Highway and south of El Segundo Boulevard. The design and
implementation of this Specific Plan relate directly to its position within this larger context.
The southeast quadrant of the City is primarily designated for light industrial which allows a
mixture of industrial and office uses. This quadrant also contains a commercial region which is
home to the retail development of Plaza El Segundo, an approxi ely 500,000 square foot
lifestyle commercial retail shopping center and the Lakes Municipal Golf Course, which is the
subject site of this Specific Plan. The northeast quadrant of the City lies north across El Segundo
Boulevard and consists primarily of corporate office and urban mixed uses which allow for office
and commercial uses. The southwest quadrant of the lies directly across Pacific Coast
Highway and consists primarily of an oil refinery/heavy industrial use.ultimedia Overlay
District overlies both the southeast and northeast quadrants oethe City. Befo the adoption of The
Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) the property was designated as Parks in the General Plan Land Use
Element with Open Space zoning.
Adjacent land uses include the following:
North: The land uses to the north include a small commercial shopping center with
retail and restaurants directly adjacent to the existing golf course and mid- and
high-rise office buildings with multi -story parking structures are located across
El Segundo Boulevard. LAX is located approximately 1.0 mile north of the
Specific Plan area. low
East:The adjacent land uses to the east include the Edison transmission lines, the
.4' industrial uses in the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan and the elevated
MTA Green Line. The El Segundo Boulevard Green Line station is located at
the northeast corner of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan along El
Segundo Boulevard at Nash Street.
South: The adjacent land uses to the south/southeast include a public storage facility
and the West Basin Municipal Water District Recycling Facility and offices,
The Plaza El Segundo commercial retail shopping center is located south of the
public storage facility. A Federal Express distribution facility and the City of
El Segundo Stormwater retention basin are located further south of the West
Basin Municipal Water District Recycling Facility and offices.
West: Land uses to the west include the Chevron Refinery which is located directly
across Pacific Coast Highway.

III. LAND USE PLAN
The Lakes 9 -hole executive municipal golf course at 400 South Pacific Coast Highway has been
located on a 26.54 acre site since 1994. The golf course currently extends into a 3.58 acre portion
of the Southern California Edison (SCE) property directly east of the site, which part is subject to
a license agreement between the City of El Segundo and Southern California Edison. The 3.58
acre SCE area is not part of this Specific Plan and has a zoning designation of Open Space (OS)
Zone which allows golf course uses. The existing golf course also has a two-level, 57 -bay driving
range, putting green and a 5,330 square -foot Pro Shop with an approximately 750 square -foot patio
used for outdoor dining. The golf course also has a 1,775 square -foot maintenance building at the
northernmost part of the site that will remain. The 5,330 square-footPro Shop and a 396 square -
foot storage building would be demolished as part of the development AKhorized under The Lakes
Specific Plan. The buildings would be replaced with a new smaller 2,500 square -foot Pro Shop
with outdoor patio area. The driving range and putting green will also be demolished and replaced
with a new target green, putting green and chipping green area. The 9 -hole golf course would be
redesigned to accommodate the construction of a new, approximately 66,300 gross square -foot
commercial recreation and entertainment facility that would-be constructed sp6th of the existing
9 -hole golf course. The development project will also involve the expansion of the parking lot
onto a 0.67 -acre portion of an abutting property owned by the West Basin Municipal Water
District. The 0.67 acre West Basin Municipal Water District property is not a part of this Specific
Plan. The West Basin property has a zoning ignation of Public Facilities (P -F) Zone, which
allows parking lots as an accessory use.
A. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Lakes Specific Plan establishes the general type, parameters and character of the development
in order to develop an integrated Project area that is also compatible with and complements the
surrounding area. The proximity of the Specific Plan Area to freeways, major arterials, and the
Metro Rail makes it a regionally accessible and attractive recreation and entertainment facility in
an ideal location to facilitate economic development in El Segundo.
The Lakes Specific Plan provides flexibility to modify and modernize existing uses and to add
new compatible uses that are not currently permitted with standards that are tailored for the unique
uses on the site. The LaWs Specific Plan establishes the following two subareas: Public
Recreation/Open Space subarea; and Commercial Recreation/Open Space subarea.

The following is a summary of existing and proposed public infrastructure for development of the
site. All infrastructure will be constructed in accordance with the standards of the governing
agency.
A. WATER SERVICE
EXISTING CONDITION
Water utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and is currently available within the
site. Water is purchased through West Basin Municipal Water District which is a member of The
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The site is currently served by an existing fl-
inch ductile iron water pipe that is connected to an existing 10 -inch wat "$e under Hughes Way
on the south side and connected to an existing 8 -inch water line under Pa oast Highway on
the west side.
Water for fire suppression is provided by on-site building sprinklers and from two off-site fire
hydrants located on Pacific Coast Highway.
PROPOSED CONDITION
Due to proposed grading for the project some portions of the existing 8" water line may require
reconstruction to maintain proper depth of the pipe. Two new PVC water laterals will connect the
existing 8" ductile iron water line to the proposed Xnmercial recreation and entertainment facility
building and the new Pro Shop building to supply water and fire water. Fire flows for the proposed

D. DRAINAGE
EXISTING CONDITION
The existing storm drains collect the storm water from the site and discharge into the existing
public 48 -inch RCP (reinforced concrete pipe) that runs along Pacific Coast Highway, then along
the south side of the site and turns east under Hughes Way to discharge into an existing City of El
Segundo detention and infiltration basin southeast of the site.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map #06037C1770F shows this Project site is
located within Zone X, which is described to be an area determined to be outside of the 0.2%
annual chance floodplain. There are no Special Flood Hazards on-site.
PROPOSED CONDITION
A storm drain system is proposed for the new driving range and another system for the new
buildings and parking area. The two systems will confluence at the south side of the proposed
parking area and discharge into a proposed underground detention and infiltration system to be
constructed under the parking lot. The detention system will discharge into the existing 48 -inch
RCP storm drain pipe at the south side of the site.
Storm Water Quality % I K
The proposed detention/infiltration system will also function as a treatment system designed to
remove or reduce pollutants of concern from the storm water before discharge from the site. The
collected storm water will be pre-treated to remove trash and larger sediment particulates before
entering the underground infiltration/detention storage system. The storm water quality design
will be consistent with applicable Low Impact Development (LID) standards, which includes
storage and infiltrate into the soil system within 48 hours. Drainage must comply with all
applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, the City's National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
A Conceptual Drainage Plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 11,
Conceptual Drainage Plan).

V. DESIGN GUIDELINES
These design guidelines are intended as "guidelines" instead of "development regulations."
During the review of any project proposed in this Specific Plan area, the Director of Planning and
Building Safety, the Planning Commission and City Council may use discretion in applying these
design guidelines. It is not anticipated that each guideline will apply equally to every project. One
or more guidelines may have more design significance than another, depending on the nature of
the proposed project. Consequently, strict compliance is not required. The overall objective is to
establish criteria that enhance the coordination, organization, function and identity of the site,
while maintaining a compatible relationship with the surrounding development of The Lakes
Specific Plan.
A. DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND INTENT
Design guidelines for the Lakes Specific Plan will promote and reinfor the City's commitment
to high-quality development. The objectives of these guidelies are to:
• Provide for high-quality recreational development within th pecific Plan area.
• Promote orderly and predictable development.
• Encourage individual creativity and innovative lutions by allowing flexibility in
how a particular guideline is met as long as the intent of the guideline is achieved.
• Ensure functional pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle circulation within the
Project and convenient pedestrian and bicycle linkages to and from adjacent
residential, commercial and industrial areas.
1. Site Planning
a. The arrangement of new buildings, parking and circulation areas should
recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should create a
cohesive identity.
b. Site development should utilize variations on building orientation and
landscaping adjacent to the public streets so that a monolithic "wall" of
building faces is not created.
C. The design and location of accessory buildings (e.g., maintenance and
storage buildings, trash and recycling enclosures, and outdoor mechanical
equipment enclosures) should be incorporated into and be compatible with
the overall design of the Project and the main buildings on the site.
Final Draft Page 37 OCTOBER 1 S, 2019
194
d. Appropriate linkages between internal Project components and buildings
should be incorporated, including pedestrian walkways.
e. Buildings should be arranged to create opportunities for outdoor amenities
(e.g., plazas, courtyards, outdoor eating areas, etc.) where appropriate.
f. Pedestrian walkways within the project shall be provided with admixture
colored concrete and/or design that enhance and complement the project.
2. Access and Parking
a. A single entry driveway for shared vehicular use must be maintained on
each public street frontage (one on Pacific Coast Highway and one on
Hughes Way).
b. Entry driveway areas should be clearly marked b identifying features,
(e.g., prominent landscape features and well -d e monument -type
signs).
C. Access to each building should be clearly visible to pedestrians and
motorists through the use of signage, color, and/or design elements.
d. Surface parking lots adjacent to and visible from public streets should
incorporate landscaping to minimize undesirable visual impacts.

incorporating human scale elements, such as pedestrian scaled doors,
windows, and building materials on the ground floor.
44.
d. Buildings should be divided into distinct massing elements and should be
articulated with architectural elements and details. Changes in height,
horizontal plane, materials, patterns and colors should be used to reduce
building scale and mass.
e. Primary building entries should be ea identified through the use of
prominent architectural elements, s' nage, landscaping, decorative
hardscape, lighting, canopies, roof form, architectural projections, columns,
vertical and/or horizontal elements, and other design features that help
emphasize a building's entry.
f. Building elevations, whether front, side, or rear, that are visible from public
rights-of-way should be architecturally detailed to incorporate quality
materials and architectural features that reflect the theme of surrounding
structures and facades. Building entrances should be readily identifiable.

associated with the project, such as a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, Zone Text Amendment, Lakes Specific Plan, Lot Line Adjustment
and Conditional Use Permit for the TopGolf Project; however, motions to
approve the Ordinance project failed, and the City Council did not approve
the project;
P. Subsequently, in late 2017 and early 2018, the City Council directed staff to
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakes golf course to determine
whether other recreational uses or projects might be conducted on the
Property;
Q. In September 2018, the City Council selected the proposed

GSF,
• The previously proposed 2,084-GSF bar on the middle level is excluded
and a new 1,648-GSF bar is proposed on the upper level,
W11
221
• The previously proposed middle level 2,897-GSF of event space is
excluded, and 2,085 GSF of new event space is proposed on the upper
level,
• A new 1,466 -SF kitchen and 960 -SF dining area are proposed on the
middle level- no kitchen or dining area were previously proposed on the
middle level,

• The upper level 240 -SF lounge area is excluded.
T. On January 8, 2019, the City's environmental consultant completed an
independent review of the modified project and determined that no new
significant environmental impacts would result, the modifications would not
increase the severity of any effects previously identified in the EIR, and the
modified project generally involves a redistribution of floor space with no
new or dissimilar land uses proposed. Thus, the City's environmental
consultant concluded that the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
U. On January 10, 2019, a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald and
Notice mailed to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject
property, announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on January 24, 2019, to consider the proposed modified
project;
V. On January 24, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant; and,
W. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the Commission at its January 24, 2019 hearing
including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. The Planning Commission makes the following
environmental findings:
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064 and 15081, and based upon
information contained in the Initial Study, the City ordered the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Project. The City
contracted with independent consultants for the preparation of the technical
studies for the EIR and on September 1, 2016, prepared and sent a Notice
of Preparation of the EIR to responsible, trustee, and other interested
as
222
agencies and persons in accordance with Guidelines Section 15082(a).
Comments on the Notice of Preparation were accepted during the 33 -day
comment period ending on October 3, 2016. During the scoping period, the
City held an advertised public meeting on September 8, 2016, to facilitate
public input regarding the scope of the EIR.
B. The City completed the Draft EIR, together with those certain technical
studies (the "Appendices"), on January 26, 2017. The City circulated the
Draft EIR and the Appendices to the public and other interested parties from
January 26, 2017 through March 13, 2017, for a 47 -day comment period.
In addition to receiving written comments submitted during this time, public
comments were received at an advertised public commenting session on
February 2, 2017. Advertisement of the public commenting session was
provided by a Notice published in the El Segundo Herald, a Notice mailed
to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius, a Notice posted at The Lakes
clubhouse facility, and a Notice was posted on the City's website.
C. During the Draft EIR public comment period, including at the February 2,
2017 public commenting session, the City received numerous letters and
comments. Responses to each of the individual comments were prepared
and made available on May 25, 2017. The comments and responses are
part of section 11.3 of the Final EIR, and are incorporated herein by
reference. The written responses to comments were made available for
public review in the Planning and Building Safety Department, at the EI
Segundo Public Library and on the City's website. After reviewing the
responses to comments, the revisions to the Draft EIR, and the Final EIR,
the Planning Commission finds that the information and issues raised by
the comments and the responses thereto do not constitute significant new
information requiring recirculation of the EIR.
D. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR, an errata thereto, comments
and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, a list of persons,
organizations and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR, the City's
Responses to Comments, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
E. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and considered the
content of the Final EIR, all written and oral public communications, and all
other evidence before the Commission prior to making a recommendation
to the City Council on the proposed project. The Planning Commission
hereby finds that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance with
CEQA and reflects the independent judgment of the City. Although minor
revisions have been made to the Draft EIR in response to comments
received during the public process, no significant new information has been
added to the EIR since public notice was given of the availability of the Draft
-5-
223
EIR for public review. Consequently, recirculation of the EIR is not required
pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
F. The comments regarding the Draft EIR and the responses to those
comments were received by the Commission; that the Planning
Commission received documents and public testimony regarding the
adequacy of the EIR; and the Planning Commission has reviewed and
considered all such documents, testimony and the Final EIR prior to making
its recommendation to the City Council on the Project. In accordance with
Guidelines Section 15090, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
G. Based upon the Final EIR and the record before the Planning Commission,
the Commission finds the Project will not cause any significant
environmental impacts after mitigation. Detailed explanations for why the
impacts were found to be less than significant are contained in the draft
Findings of Fact attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution.
H. The EIR describes, and the Planning Commission fully considered, a
reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. On the whole, the
proposed Project is environmentally superior to other feasible alternatives.
Thus, all other alternatives and variations are infeasible or not
environmentally preferable for the reasons set forth in the Findings of Fact.
On the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter, the
Commission finds that the proposed Project would not result in temporary
or permanent significant and unavoidable effects for any of the
environmental issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no Statement of Overriding Considerations is
necessary.
J. Although the project has been slightly modified, as described above in
Section 1.S, no new significant environmental impacts result from the
modified project, the modifications do not increase the severity of any
effects previously identified in the EIR, and the modified project generally
involves a redistribution of floor space with no new or dissimilar land uses
proposed. As such, the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
SECTION 3: Recommendation. Based on the foregoing findings and on substantial
evidence in the administrative record as a whole, the Planning Commission hereby
recommends that the City Council adopt the Findings of Fact attached hereto as Exhibit
A and incorporated herein by this reference, certify the Final Environmental Impact
Report, and adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached hereto as
Exhibit B and incorporated herein, for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project.
IN
224
SECTION 4: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations
in this Resolution is based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and
written, contained in the entire administrative record relating to the project. The findings
and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the
Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by
substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 5: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the
project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the
project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the Planning
Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been
made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the
City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues.
The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the
limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 6: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 7: The Commission secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to
Centercal Properties, LLC, and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 8: This Resolution is the Planning Commission's final decision and will
become effective immediately upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 24'" day of January, 2019.

and on May 25, 2017 a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald
announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on June 8, 2017 to review the Final EIR and the entitlement
applications for the proposed project;
On June 8, 2017, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant;
J. On June 8, 2017, at the request of the Applicant, the Planning Commission
continued the public hearing to June 22, 2017;
K. On June 22, 2017, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing
to July 13, 2017;
6A
229
L. On July 13, 2017, the Planning Commission of the City of EI Segundo
adopted Resolution No. 2820, recommending that the City Council certify
the EIR, make certain environmental findings of fact, and adopt a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf
Project;
M. The City Council of the City of EI Segundo held a duly noticed public hearing
on September 5, 2017, to review and consider the staff report prepared for
the project, receive public testimony, and review all correspondence
received on the project;
N. On September 5, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5054,
certifying the EIR, making certain environmental findings of fact, and
adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for The Lakes
Specific Plan and Topgolf Project;
O. On October 3, 2017, the City Council considered the entitlements
associated with the project, such as a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, Zone Text Amendment, Lakes Specific Plan, Lot Line Adjustment
and Conditional Use Permit for the TopGolf Project; however, motions to
approve the Ordinance project failed, and the City Council did not approve
the project;
P. Subsequently, in late 2017 and early 2018, the City Council directed staff to
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakes golf course to determine
whether other recreational uses or projects might be conducted on the
Property;
Q. In September 2018, the City Council selected the proposed
Applicant/Developer and Topgolf project as one of two finalists and the
parties are attempting to negotiate a lease with respect to the operation of
the Lakes;
R. On November 21, 2018, the Applicant filed a request that the City
reconsider the proposed Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf project as
presented and analyzed in 2017;
S. On December 20, 2018, the Applicant submitted a slightly modified version
of the project, which included the following modifications:
• The upper level roof terrace would decrease from 2,687 GSF to 1,364
GSF,
• The previously proposed 2,084-GSF bar on the middle level is excluded
and a new 1,648-GSF bar is proposed on the upper level,
230
• The previously proposed middle level 2,897-GSF of event space is
excluded, and 2,085 GSF of new event space is proposed on the upper
level,
• A new 1,466 -SF kitchen and 960 -SF dining area are proposed on the
middle level- no kitchen or dining area were previously proposed on the
middle level,
• The ground level kitchen would decrease from 2,410 SF to 1,346 SF,
• A new 1,936 -SF bar is proposed on the ground level- no bar was
previously proposed on the ground level,
• The ground level 1,655 -SF lounge area is excluded, and
• The upper level 240 -SF lounge area is excluded.
T. On January 8, 2019, the City's environmental consultant completed an
independent review of the modified project and determined that no new
significant environmental impacts would result, the modifications would not
increase the severity of any effects previously identified in the EIR, and the
modified project generally involves a redistribution of floor space with no
new or dissimilar land uses proposed. Thus, the City's environmental
consultant concluded that the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
U. On January 10, 2019, a Notice was published in the El Segundo Herald and
Notice mailed to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject
property, announcing that a public hearing was scheduled with the Planning
Commission on January 24, 2019, to consider the proposed modified
project;
V. On January 24, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City
staff and public testimony, and the applicant; and,
W. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the Commission at its January 24, 2019 hearing
including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The Commission finds as follows:
A. The project site consists of three areas totaling approximately 31 -acres,
comprised of the 26.54 -acre Lakes at EI Segundo golf course, a 3.58 -acre
portion of the abutting SCE property to the east of the golf course, and a
0.67 -acre portion of the abutting West Basin Municipal Water District
property to the south of the golf course, generally located at 400 South
Pacific Coast Highway, in the southeast quadrant of the City of EI Segundo;
as
231
B. The proposed project includes The Lakes Specific Plan and a new Topgolf
facility. The associated applications consists of:
(i) General Plan Amendment No. 16-01, to change the underlying
General Plan Land Use designation of the Lakes at EI Segundo golf
course property from "Parks", to "The Lakes Specific Plan";
(ii) Zone Change No. ZC 16-01, to change the underlying Zoning
designation from O -S (Open Space), to TLSP (The Lakes Specific
Plan) with two Subareas identified, whereby the subarea on the north
will measure 16.06 -acres and the subarea on the south will measure
10.49 -acres;
(iii) Specific Plan No. SP 16-02, to create a new specific plan for the Lakes
at EI Segundo golf course that specifies the uses permitted within the
Specific Plan area, and establishes development standards tailored to
the unique recreation and entertainment uses for the specific plan
area;
(iv) Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04, to add the new TLSP (The
Lakes Specific Plan) Zoning designation to the Zoning Code;
(v) Site Plan Review No. 16-01, for the development within The Lakes
Specific Plan area, including a new Topgolf building, a redeveloped
clubhouse, and modified holes in the golf course. Specifically, the

approximately 67,500 gross square -foot Topgolf commercial
recreation and entertainment facility. The new facility will measure
approximately 55 -feet in overall height, and include 102 hitting
bays (34 on each level) with seating/waiting area) consisting of
private suites) measuring 35,000 square -feet. From these hitting
bays, players would hit balls into an open area that would be
surrounded by netting and support poles (up to 175 feet in height)
that are designed to block/contain errant balls. The facility will also
include approximately 10,000 square feet of restaurant, bar, and
kitchen space; 2,085 square feet of meeting and event space;
1,638 square feet of office space; 522 square feet of lounge space;
1,130 square feet of lobby space; and approximately 17,000
square feet of storage, circulation, and miscellaneous space. The
facility will also include approximately 1,400 square feet of outdoor
terrace on the third floor and a 5,400 square foot outdoor patio on
the lower level providing entertainment in the form of live music
from a band or disc jockey (DJ). All DJ's and bands would be
required to connect to the facility's in-house sound system and
speakers, allowing the ability to control the volume and other sound
levels. All overhead speakers would be oriented inward and down
to the facility's floors. Lastly, the driving range grass would be
replaced with a high density fiber turf;
b) Modifying and expanding the existing parking lot to accommodate
a total of 523 spaces, whereby 420 spaces will be located in the
-5-
232
southern Subarea of the Specific Plan and 103 spaces will be
located in the abutting WBMWD property through a license

parking will serve both the Topgolf facility and the golf course
facility;
c) Modifying the fairways and layouts of three holes at the existing
golf course;
d) Installing lighting throughout the nine -hole golf course to
accommodate nighttime play. The lighting would primarily be
concentrated at the tee boxes and greens; and,
e) Demolishing the existing clubhouse, and constructing a new one-
story clubhouse measuring 2,500 square feet, with a 1,010 square
foot outdoor patio overlooking a new putting and chip -shot practice
area.
(vi) Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03, to reconfigure the existing two
parcels in The Lakes Specific Plan; and,
(vii) Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 16-05, to allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the
clubhouse and Topgolf facilities.
C. Development standards have been developed for the Specific Plan and all
uses within the Plan area must be compliant. The allowed uses identified in
the development standards include the proposed development and uses;
D. The proposed General Plan re -designation and rezoning of the Project Site
would change the General Plan land use designation from "Parks", to "The
Lakes Specific Plan" (TLSP) land use designation and rezone the area from
Open Space (O -S) to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone;
E. The TLSP contains two Subareas, where the northern Subarea will contain
the nine -hole golf course and proshop, and the southern Subarea will be
developed with a golf entertainment facility;
F. The Applicant is required to make all necessary and applicable impact fee
payments prior to building permit issuance, including the one-time fire
services mitigation fee, the one-time police services mitigation fee, one-time
park services mitigation fee, and one-time traffic mitigation.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The Planning Commission makes the following
environmental findings:
A. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064 and 15081, and based upon
information contained in the Initial Study, the City ordered the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for the Project. The City
contracted with independent consultants for the preparation of the technical
studies for the EIR and on September 1, 2016, prepared and sent a Notice
11:V
233
of Preparation of the EIR to responsible, trustee, and other interested
agencies and persons in accordance with Guidelines Section 15082(a).
Comments on the Notice of Preparation were accepted during the 33 -day
comment period ending on October 3, 2016. During the scoping period, the
City held an advertised public meeting on September 8, 2016, to facilitate
public input regarding the scope of the EIR.
B. The City completed the Draft EIR, together with those certain technical
studies (the "Appendices"), on January 26, 2017. The City circulated the
Draft EIR and the Appendices to the public and other interested parties from
January 26, 2017 through March 13, 2017, for a 47 -day comment period.
In addition to receiving written comments submitted during this time, public
comments were received at an advertised public commenting session on
February 2, 2017. Advertisement of the public commenting session was
provided by a Notice published in the El Segundo Herald, a Notice mailed
to all property owners within a 300 -foot radius, a Notice posted at The Lakes
clubhouse facility, and a Notice was posted on the City's website.
C. During the Draft EIR public comment period, including at the February 2,
2017 public commenting session, the City received numerous letters and
comments. Responses to each of the individual comments were prepared
and made available on May 25, 2017. The comments and responses are
part of section 11.3 of the Final EIR, and are incorporated herein by
reference. The written responses to comments were made available for
public review in the Planning and Building Safety Department, at the EI
Segundo Public Library and on the City's website. After reviewing the
responses to comments, the revisions to the Draft EIR, and the Final EIR,
the Planning Commission finds that the information and issues raised by
the comments and the responses thereto do not constitute significant new
information requiring recirculation of the EIR.
D. The Final EIR is comprised of the Draft EIR, an errata thereto, comments
and recommendations received on the Draft EIR, a list of persons,
organizations and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR, the City's
Responses to Comments, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
E. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and considered the
content of the Final EIR, all written and oral public communications, and all
other evidence before the Commission prior to making a recommendation
to the City Council on the proposed project. The Planning Commission
hereby finds that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance with
CEQA and reflects the independent judgment of the City. Although minor
revisions have been made to the Draft EIR in response to comments
received during the public process, no significant new information has been
added to the EIR since public notice was given of the availability of the Draft
WA
234
EIR for public review. Consequently, recirculation of the EIR is not required
pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines.
F. The comments regarding the Draft EIR and the responses to those
comments were received by the Commission; that the Planning
Commission received documents and public testimony regarding the
adequacy of the EIR; and the Planning Commission has reviewed and
considered all such documents, testimony and the Final EIR prior to making
its recommendation to the City Council on the Project. In accordance with
Guidelines Section 15090, the Planning Commission hereby finds that the
Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA and reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
G. Based upon the Final EIR and the record before the Planning Commission,
the Commission finds the Project will not cause any significant
environmental impacts after mitigation. Detailed explanations for why the
impacts were found to be less than significant are contained in the draft
Findings of Fact attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution.
H. The EIR describes, and the Planning Commission fully considered, a
reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. On the whole, the
proposed Project is environmentally superior to other feasible alternatives.
Thus, all other alternatives and variations are infeasible or not
environmentally preferable for the reasons set forth in the Findings of Fact.
On the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter, the
Commission finds that the proposed Project would not result in temporary
or permanent significant and unavoidable effects for any of the
environmental issue areas identified in Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Therefore, no Statement of Overriding Considerations is
necessary.
J. Although the project has been slightly modified, as described above in
Section 1.S, no new significant environmental impacts result from the
modified project, the modifications do not increase the severity of any
effects previously identified in the EIR, and the modified project generally
involves a redistribution of floor space with no new or dissimilar land uses
proposed. As such, the modifications are adequately covered by the
previous EIR, and no additional CEQA analysis is required.
SECTION 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. The Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
A. Specific Plans create "mini -zoning" regulations for land uses within
particular areas of the City. All future development plans and entitlements
within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards
IRI
235
set forth in the adopted Specific Plan, even when they may be different from
the general regulations within the ESMC.
B. The proposed amendment is in the public interest, and there will be a
community benefit resulting from the amendment. The Lakes Specific Plan
provides flexibility for The Lakes golf course to expand its existing
operations or develop new development facilities that are compatible with
the existing facilities and uses. The Specific Plan includes a development
concept that accounts for and allows for the Topgolf facility; includes new
land use and zoning categories and identifies the properties that are
effected; includes design guidelines to help promote high-quality
development; and development standards to address uses, lot area, height,
setbacks, floor area, parking, landscaping and signage. All development in
the project area is subject to the development standards and requirements
of the specific plan.

SECTION 5: Zone Change Findings.
A. Based on the factual findings of this Resolution, the proposed Zone Change
is necessary to carry out the proposed project because the proposed
General Plan Amendment would change the land use classification of the
project site from Parks, to The Lakes Specific Plan. The proposed Zone
Change is necessary to maintain consistency with the proposed General
Plan land use designation of The Lakes Specific Plan.
B. The purpose of ESMC Title 15 is to implement the goals, objectives and
-13-
240
policies of the EI Segundo General Plan. The zone change is consistent
with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies discussed in Section 4
of this resolution.
SECTION 6: Zone Text Amendment Findings. Based on the factual findings of this
Resolution, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is necessary to carry out the proposed
project to establish the proposed The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone. An amendment
to ESMC § 15-3-2(A) to create The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone is necessary for
consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 7: Lot Line Adjustment. Based on the factual findings of this Resolution, the
proposed Lot Line Adjustment is consistent with the evaluation criteria set forth in ESMC
§ 14-4-4 in that the lots/parcels will conform to the development standards contained in
The Lakes Specific Plan and the TLSP Zone, as both parcels will exceed the 10 -acre
minimum lot area.
SECTION 8: Site Plan Review. Based on the factual findings of this Resolution, the
proposed site plan layout includes a new golf -themed commercial recreation and
entertainment facility with a restaurant/bar, a redeveloped clubhouse, modified holes in
the golf course, and golf course lighting, as detailed above in Section 2.B(vi) of this
Resolution. The Site Plan is consistent with and complies with the development
standards set forth in The Lakes Specific Plan.
SECTION 9: Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to Section 15-23-6 of the EI Segundo
Municipal Code, and based on the factual findings set forth hereinabove and on the whole
of the administrative record, the Commission finds as follows:
A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives
of this Title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located, and
the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone
in which the site is located.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan have created a zoning
designation and development standards specific to the subject property.
The zone, via The Lakes Specific Plan, allows onsite beer, wine and alcohol
in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and
Topgolf facilities subject to the granting of a conditional use permit pursuant
to ESMC Section 15 -5F -5(I). Onsite beer, wine and alcohol is appropriate
to this location as it will be part of the restaurants and entertainment facility,
and distributed throughout the site. The proposal is consistent with the
purpose of The Lakes Specific Plan, which is to further the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, which are contained in Section 4 of this
Resolution.

B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity; there is compatibility of the particular use on
the particular site in relationship to other existing and potential uses within
the general area in which the use is proposed to be located; and potential
impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards have been
recognized and compensated for
The proposed location of the conditional use is in an urbanized area of the
City that is developed with a golf course, driving range, and clubhouse that
currently offers alcoholic beverages at the restaurant and banquet facilities.
The proposed onsite beer, wine and alcohol will be distributed throughout
the Specific Plan area, in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of
the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities, which will be located primarily indoors
and sufficiently set back from Pacific Coast Highway. No sensitive land
uses are adjacent to or near the Specific Plan area that could be impacted
by the operation of the onsite beer, wine and alcohol in the restaurants, bar
and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities. Further,
outdoor dining activities are not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent
businesses and no residential uses are located in the vicinity. The use is
also subject to certain conditions in the attached Exhibit A. Lastly, the EI
Segundo Police Department has not identified the subject property as a high
crime area. Accordingly, given the commercial and
industrial/manufacturing nature of the surrounding uses and immediate
area, and the absence of any residential uses located in the vicinity, the
proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this Chapter.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan created development
standards specific to the subject property, with specified uses, lot area, lot
coverage, height, and other restrictions which allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse
and Topgolf facilities. Further, the proposed conditional use complies with
the applicable provisions of ESMC Chapters 15-23 and 15-27 since proper
notice was provided and proper hearing was conducted on June 8, 2017.
In addition, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and
the required findings considered and adopted by the City Council at a future
Mi�72
242
noticed public hearing. Lastly, appropriate conditions have been included
to minimize impacts.
D. ABC has issued or will issue a license to sell alcohol to the applicant.
The City currently maintains a license from ABC for on-site sale and
consumption of beer and wine (Type 41). The future operator of the golf -
themed commercial recreation and entertainment facility will apply for a
separate license with ABC to sell alcohol.
SECTION 10: Recommendations. For the foregoing reasons and based on the
information and findings included in the Staff Report and the whole of the administrative
record, the Planning Commission hereby recommends:
A. That the City Council adopt an Ordinance to amend the General Plan,
amend the City's Zoning Map, and add the new TLSP Zoning designation
to the Zoning Code, which would be memorialized as a new section in the
Municipal Code, Section 15-3-2(A)(11), as set forth in the attached Exhibit
"B" (Draft Ordinance) of this Resolution, and incorporated into this resolution
by reference.
B. That the City Council approve Environmental Assessment No. EA -1135,
General Plan Amendment No. 16-01, Zone Change No. ZC 16-01, Specific
Plan No. SP 16-02, Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04, Site Plan
Review No. 16-01, Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03, and Conditional
Use Permit No. CUP 16-05, subject to the conditions listed on the attached
Exhibit 'A" which are incorporated into this Resolution by reference.
SECTION 11: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence,
both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings
and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the
Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by
substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 12: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the
project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the
project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the Planning
Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been
made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the
city's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues.
The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the
limitations inherent in that framework.

243
SECTION 13: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings,
which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The
absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular
finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 14: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 15: A copy of this Resolution must be mailed to ES CenterCal, LLC, and to
any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 16: Except as provided in Section 14, this Resolution is the Planning
Commission's final decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption.

LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AND
WEST BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and executed this day of
, 2019, between WEST BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT,
a California public agency, as Licensor ("DISTRICT") and the CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, a
municipal corporation, as Licensee ("CITY"). DISTRICT and CITY are collectively referred to
herein as the "Parties."
1. RECITALS. The Parties agree that this Agreement is entered into with reference to the
following facts and objectives:

made a part hereof.
2. LICENSE. DISTRICT hereby grants to CITY a revocable license to use the License Area
for the term and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. CITY does not
acquire any right to the License Area independent of DISTRICT's rights. DISTRICT's action is
not, and should not be construed to be, a conveyance of a property interest or a lease; it is a
license to use its property as described in this Agreement.
3. USE OF LICENSE AREA.
A. CITY acquires the privilege of maintaining a parking lot on the License Area.
CITY will bear all maintenance and operational costs associated with the use of
the License Area. CITY shall be responsible for removing all trash and debris
from the License Area. CITY shall make no improvements or alterations to the

such improvements or alterations within the License Area will comply with all
applicable regulations, codes and ordinances.
246
4. TERM. This Agreement will commence upon execution by the Parties, and shall remain in
effect for a term of twenty years unless or until it is terminated pursuant to Section 5. CITY may
extend this term for an additional 20 year period, by providing written notice to DISTRICT of

termination of the original 20 year term.
5. TERMINATION. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing one -hundred
twenty (120) days' written notice of the same to the other party.
6. COMPENSATION. In exchange for the use of the Property, CITY agrees to pay
DISTRICT a sum of one dollar per year for the term of this Agreement.
7. NO RESPONSIBILITY. It is understood and agreed that DISTRICT has no obligation to
safeguard or insure any property installed or maintained by CITY on the License Area. All such
obligations are solely those of the CITY. CITY will not look to DISTRICT for any loss of,
damage to or destruction of such property, except where the same is caused by the sole active
negligence or willful misconduct of DISTRICT or its agents, employees or contractors.
8. HAZARDOUS/TOXIC WASTE. CITY agrees that it will not use, generate, store or
dispose of any Hazardous Material (as defined below) on, under, about or within License Area in
violation of any law or regulation. CITY agrees to defend and indemnify DISTRICT, to the
extent stated in Section 11, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims or costs arising from any
breach of any warranty or agreement contained in this Section. As used in this Section,
"Hazardous Material" means any substance, chemical or waste that is identified as hazardous,
toxic or dangerous in any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation (including petroleum
and asbestos).
9. CONDEMNATION. If all or part of the License Area is acquired by eminent domain or
purchase in lieu thereof, CITY acknowledges that it will have no claim to any compensation
awarded for the taking of said License Area or any portion thereof or for loss of or damage to
CITY's improvements.
10. ASSIGNMENT. CITY is not permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of DISTRICT.
11. INDEMNIFICATION.
B. CITY holds DISTRICT harmless and free from any and all liability arising out of
this Agreement, or its performance. Should DISTRICT be named in any suit, or
should any claim be brought against it, by suit or otherwise, whether the same be
groundless or not, arising out of this Agreement, or its performance, pursuant to
this Agreement, CITY will defend DISTRICT (at DISTRICT's request and with
counsel satisfactory to DISTRICT) and will indemnify it for any judgment
rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise.
247
C. For purposes of this Section "DISTRICT" includes DISTRICT's officers,
officials, employees, agents, representatives, and volunteers.
D. CITY expressly agrees that this release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is
intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of
California and that if any portion is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance will,
notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
E. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
12. INSURANCE.
A. CITY shall maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims
for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in
connection with the use of the License Area by CITY, its agents, contractors,
officials, officers, employees, or residents.
B. MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:
1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01
covering CGL on an "occurrence" basis, including products and completed
operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with
limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies,
either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO
CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required
occurrence limit.
2. Automobile Liability: ISO Form Number CA 00 01 covering any auto (Code 1),
or if CITY has no owned autos, hired, (Code 8) and non -owned autos (Code 9), with
limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
3. Workers' Compensation: as required by the State of California, with Statutory
Limits, and Employer's Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per
accident for bodily injury or disease.
If the CITY maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums
shown above, the DISTRICT requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage
and/or the higher limits maintained by the CITY. Any available insurance proceeds in
excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available
to the DISTRICT.
C. Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following
provisions:
1. Additional Insured Status - The DISTRICT, its officers, officials, employees,
and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with
respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the
CITY including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such
work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an
endorsement to the CITY's insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 1185
or if not available, through the addition of both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or
CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 if a later edition is used).
2. Primary Coverage - For any claims related to this contract, the CITY's
insurance coverage shall be primary coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 0104
13 as respects the DISTRICT, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any
insurance or self-insurance maintained by the DISTRICT, its officers, officials,
employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the CITY's insurance and shall not
contribute with it.
3. Notice of Cancellation - Each insurance policy required above shall
provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the DISTRICT.
4. Waiver of Subrogation - CITY hereby grants to DISTRICT a waiver of
any right to subrogation which any insurer of said CITY may acquire against the
DISTRICT by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CITY agrees
to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation,
but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the DISTRICT has received a
waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
5. Self -Insured Retentions - Self-insured retentions must be declared to and
approved by the DISTRICT. The DISTRICT may require the CITY to purchase
coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related
investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The
policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured
retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or DISTRICT.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. CITY will, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all of
the requirements of all federal, state, and local authorities now in force, or which may hereafter
be in force. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of CITY in
any action or proceeding against CITY, whether DISTRICT be a party thereto or not, that CITY
has violated any such ordinance or statute will be conclusive of that fact.
14. BREACH OF AGREEMENT. The violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement
will constitute a breach of Agreement. The non -breaching party shall provide written notice to
the breaching party upon occurrence of an event of default, and the breaching party must cure the
default within thirty calendar days after receipt of notice. In the event that a breach is not cured
upon within such time periods, the non -breaching party may terminate this Agreement by
providing written notice pursuant to Section 5.
249
15. WAIVER OF BREACH. Any express or implied waiver of a breach of any term of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any further breach of the same or other term of this
Agreement.
16. ENTRY BY DISTRICT. This Agreement does not convey any property interest to CITY.
DISTRICT will have unrestricted access upon License Area for all lawful acts.
17. NOTICES. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, all notices or other
communications required or permitted by this Agreement or by law to be served on or given to
either party to this Agreement by the other party will be in writing and will be deemed served

ancillary to this Agreement and related documents to be entered into in connection with this
Agreement will be considered signed when the signature of a party is delivered by electronic
(.pdf) or facsimile transmission. Such electronic or facsimile signature will be treated in all
respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement has been made in and will be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California and exclusive venue for any action involving
this Agreement will be in Los Angeles County.
20. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be either invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement will remain in effect, unimpaired by the holding.
21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This instrument and its Exhibits constitute the sole agreement
between CITY and DISTRICT respecting the License Area, and correctly sets forth the

TERMS
Section 1. Demise
Lessor and Lessee hereby enter into this Lease for purposes of allowing: Lessee to perform
due diligence on the Property; and to provide an opportunity for the parties to potentially satisfy
the Conditions Precedent. Upon the Premises Turnover Date Lessor shall lease the Premises to
Lessee, and Lessee shall lease the Premises from Lessor, upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this Lease. Until and unless the Premises Turnover date occurs, the Lessee shall have no
leasehold interest in the Premises.
Section 2. Lease Term
2.1 The "Basic Term" of this Lease shall begin and the Lessee's leasehold interest
shall become effective when all of the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied or explicitly
waived in writing by the party or parties benefitting from the Condition Precedent, and Lessee has
delivered the Due Diligence Acceptance Notice, and the Topgolf Guarantor has not withdrawn its
Guaranty as provided in Section 5.6 hereof ("Premises Turnover Date"), and shall end on the
twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Premises Turnover Date. The Basic Term shall also be referred
to herein as the "Initial Term". The parties agree to execute and record a memorandum of an
addendum to this Lease setting forth the Premises Turnover Date. While the terms "Lease",
"Lessor" and "Lessee" are used throughout this agreement/Lease, the Lessee shall not be deemed
to have a leasehold interest in the Premises until the Premises Turnover Date.
On the Premises Turnover Date, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee, in conformance with all
applicable laws, and except as otherwise explicitly provided herein exclusive possession and
control of the Premises in its "AS IS" condition except it shall be free of any and all occupants,

License, the License Agreement and the Permitted Exceptions as shown on Exhibit "E."
2.2 Lessee shall have six (6) successive options to extend the term of this Lease, each
for a separate additional period of five (5) years (each, an "Option Period"), from the date upon
which such term would otherwise expire, provided that Lessee shall be entitled to exercise an
Option Period only if at the time of exercise Lessee is in compliance with all of the material terms
of this Lease, including but not limited to all Rent payments being current and the Premises being
open to the public and operating as a driving range with food/beverage service. However, to the
extent Lessee has received a default notice from Lessor and is diligently curing a default in
accordance with Section 20 hereof, this Lease shall not be extended until such time as the default
is cured and then the term may be extended. If Lessee does not cure such default within the time
periods set forth in Section 20 hereof then Lessee shall forfeit the extension rights set forth in this
Section. Subject to the above limitations, unless Lessee gives Lessor at least six (6) months prior
written notice of its intent not to exercise an Option Period to extend this Lease, this Lease shall
automatically be extended for an additional five (5) year term. Each such extension shall be upon
2
US Active\113418245\V-2
259
and subject to the same terms, covenants and conditions as those herein specified except that
Lessee may not again exercise any previously exercised option under this section.
The words "Lease Term, term of this lease", "the term hereof', or words of like import
shall be deemed to refer to the Initial Term of this Lease provided for in Section 2.1 hereof together
with any extension or renewal thereof which shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease or by reason of the exercise of an option or right granted hereunder.
Section 3. Rent; Payments for Public Good

as rent for the Premises from the Fixed Rent Commencement Date through the end of the Lease
Term, except as increased as specified below (the "Fixed Rent"). In addition to the Fixed Rent,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor: (i) for each calendar year during the term of this Lease following the
Fixed Rent Commencement Date, an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Gross Receipts
from all beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) sold on the Premises during the applicable
calendar year, but in no event less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) per calendar
year ("Variable Rent"); and (ii) the entire consideration payable by licensee to licensor under the
License Agreement as and when required by the License Agreement (provided that, Lessee may
satisfy its obligations under this clause (ii) by making payments of such consideration directly to
Licensor as and when due under the License Agreement). The obligation of Lessee to pay Fixed
Rent, Variable Rent and other sums hereunder may be satisfied by any person or entity making
payment of Fixed Rent, Variable Rent or other sums to Lessor as hereinafter provided. The term
"Gross Receipts" wherever used in this Lease shall mean the aggregate amount of sales (whether
for cash, on credit or otherwise) of all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages made and rendered
on the Premises in connection with the business operation conducted on the Premises, but shall
not include any federal, state, municipal or other sales, value added or retailer's excise taxes paid
or accrued, regardless of whether such taxes are collected from customers or absorbed, sales to
employees, complimentary sales, donations for charitable events, discounts afforded customers
from the redemption of coupons, fees paid to credit card issuers and processors, bulk and/or
intercompany transfers of inventory (provided no such transfer is made to avoid liability to
Variable Rent), or alcohol beverage license fees (if any).
Within one hundred (120) days after the end of each calendar year following the Variable
Rent Commencement Date (defined in Section 3.2 below), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a written
statement setting forth the amount of Gross Receipts for the preceding calendar year.
Simultaneously with the delivery of such statement, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Variable Rent
shown by such statement to be then due and owing. In computing the Variable Rent for the first
calendar year following the Variable Rent Commencement Date (and any calendar year that
includes the date of termination of this Lease), if such calendar year shall contain less than 365
K
US Active\113418245\V-2
260
days, then the Variable Rent shall be multiplied by fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of days in such shorter calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
3.2 The first installment of Initial Rent shall be payable on the Premises Turnover Date
in a pro -rata amount based upon the number of days remaining in the month. The first installment
of Fixed Rent shall be payable from the earlier of (i) the date that the Premises opens to the public
for business or (ii) twelve (12) months following the Premises Turnover Date, subject to Force
Majeure as defined in Section 30 and delays caused by Lessor (the "Fixed Rent Commencement
Date"). All Rent (other than Variable Rent) from and after the Fixed Rent Commencement Date
shall be paid in advance, on the first day of each month. Upon termination of this Lease, Rent
payable for less than a full month shall be paid in a pro -rata amount based on the number of days
that the Lease was in effect for the month. The obligation to pay Variable Rent shall commence
on Fixed Rent Commencement Date ("Variable Rent Commencement Date"). Within ninety
days of the termination of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor all Variable Rent payments owed
to the Lessor based upon the payments being made in arrears. This agreement shall not be
construed as giving Lessor any partnership or other interest in Lessee's or Topgolf s business. It
is understood and agreed by Lessor that there has been no representation of any kind whatsoever
made by Lessee or Topgolf as to the amount of Gross Receipts which may or shall be made from
the Premises during any year of the term of this Lease.
3.3 The Fixed Rent shall increase by ten percent (10%) at the commencement of each
five-year period during the term of this Lease (including any Option Periods that may be exercised
by Tenant) commencing with the day following the fifth anniversary of the Fixed Rent
Commencement Date.
3.4 Following the first full calendar year of Lessee's operation of the Premises for the
Permitted Use, on an annual basis Lessee shall establish or cause its Sublessee on its books and
fund a capital reserve fund equal to $200,000 in the aggregate for both the Premises and the Golf
Course per calendar year (such amount being pro -rated for any period of less than one full calendar
year and not being subject to escalation hereunder), which shall be used by Lessee to make repairs
and improvements to the Premises (the "Capital Reserve Fund"). The Capital Reserve Fund shall
be allocated $160,000.00 to the Premises and $40,000.000 to the Golf Course. The Capital Reserve
Fund shall not be a limitation on the amount that Lessee is otherwise required to spend to repair
and maintain the improvements on the Premises as required under this Lease. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to maintain the Capital Reserve
Fund for the Golf Course is a requirement under that certain Golf Course Management Agreement
entered into on or about the date of this Lease by and between Lessor and Topgolf El Segundo
LLC (the "Golf Course Management Agreement"), and is provided under this Lease for
reference purposes only. The failure to maintain the Capital Reserve Fund for the Golf Course as
required under the Management Agreement shall be a default under the Golf Course Management
Agreement, but shall not be a default hereunder.
3.5 All amounts payable under Section 3.1 above, as well as all other amounts payable
by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this Lease, shall be paid at the address of Lessor set forth
in Section 31.1, or at such other place within the continental limits of the United States as Lessor
shall from time to time designate by written notice to Lessee, in lawful money of the United States,
which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues at the time of payment.

3.6 It is intended that the Initial Rent, the Fixed Rent, the Variable Rent, Payments for
Public Good and any Additional Rent provided for in this Lease (together "Rent") shall be an
absolutely net return to Lessor throughout the Lease Term, free of any expense, charge, or other
deduction whatsoever, including all claims, demands, or setoffs of any nature whatsoever, except
as otherwise explicitly provided in this Lease.
3.7 Lessee shall make cash payments to Lessor in the sum of Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) per calendar year during the Term of this Lease following the Fixed Rent
Commencement Date (the "Payments for Public Good"). Lessor shall in its sole discretion use
the proceeds of the foregoing Payments for Public Good to create a fund controlled by Lessor and
used to develop or improve public facilities and amenities, to foster educational and other programs
and otherwise to promote the benefit and support the public good with regard to the City of El
Segundo and its residents. Each installment of the foregoing Payments for Public Good shall be
due and payable by Lessee within one hundred (120) days after the end of each calendar year
during the Term of this Lease following the Fixed Rent Commencement Date. In computing the
Payments for Public Good for the first calendar year or portion thereof following the Fixed Rent
Commencement Date (and any calendar year that includes the date of termination of this Lease),
if such calendar year shall contain less than 365 days, then the Payments for Public Good shall be
multiplied by fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such shorter calendar
year, and the denominator of which shall be 365. The Payments for Public Good shall not be
subject to escalation hereunder.
3.8 Except as may be provided in this Lease, Lessee shall also pay without notice and
without abatement, deduction, or setoff, as "Additional Rent," all sums, impositions, costs, and
other payments that Lessee in any of the provisions of this Lease assumes or agrees to pay, and in
the event of any nonpayment, but subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease and all
applicable laws, Lessor shall have (in addition to all other rights and remedies) all the rights and
remedies provided for in this Lease or by law or equity in the case of nonpayment of the Rent.
Section 4. Use
4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Lessee may only use the
Premises, and the Premises Improvements, for a driving range and related clubhouse with
restaurant, bar, lounge, grill, event space and other ancillary and incidental amenities typically
included in a Topgolf family entertainment facility, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2, ) (the
"Permitted Use"). Lessee shall not be permitted to conduct any of the driving range or clubhouse
operations on the Premises until the Golf Course Improvements described in Exhibit "D" are
substantially completed (which for purposes hereof means that the Golf Course Improvements are
completed subject to minor alterations or corrections, that is, "punch list" items and that the nine -
hole course, clubhouse, pro -shop and bathrooms are capable of being open for business) as
reasonably determined by Lessor. Lessor acknowledges and agrees that the operation of a Topgolf
driving range, restaurant, bar, lounge, grill and event space, that is similar with regard to the current
operations of that certain existing Topgolf facility located at 6101 N 99th Ave, Glendale, Arizona
and is generally consistent with regard to its construction with those renderings and descriptions
attached hereto as Exhibits "D" and "G" and by this reference incorporated herein (the
"Prototype Facility"), including a driving range and related teaching facilities and both indoor
and outdoor cafe / bar / grill facilities serving alcoholic beverages, and meeting and banquet
E
US Active\113418245\V-2
262
facilities, also serving alcoholic beverages (referred to herein as a "Tomolf Facility") is a
Permitted Use under this Section 4.1.
4.2 Lessee shall not use or occupy, or permit or suffer all or any part of the Premises
or any Premises Improvements to be used or occupied except as provided in Section 4.1 and
Lessee's use of the Premises is further restricted and cannot be used: (i) for any unlawful or illegal
business, use, or purpose, or (ii) for any purpose or in any way that is in violation of a lawfully
issued existing certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or of any "Legal Requirements" (as
defined below), including but not limited to "Legal Requirements" respecting "Hazardous
Substances" (as defined in Section 42). For the purposes of this Lease, the term "Legal
Requirements" means all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, judgments, rules,
regulations, and requirements of all federal, state, regional, and municipal governments,
departments, agencies, commissions, boards, and officers, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well
as extraordinary, applicable to the Premises or to the use or manner of uses of the Premises or any
Premises Improvements or the owners or users of any Premises Improvements.
4.3 Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed to be a gift or dedication of any
portion of the Premises to the general public or for the general public or for any public purpose
whatsoever, or an agreement to do so, it being the intention of Lessor and Lessee that this Lease
shall be strictly limited to and for the purposes herein expressed and strictly for the benefit of
Lessor and Lessee. Unless required otherwise by a governmental authority, Lessee shall take
commercially reasonable actions to prevent the Premises from being used by any individual or
entity, or the public, from and after the Premises Turnover Date, in such manner as might
reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage, adverse possession, or prescription,
or of implied dedication, of the Premises or any Premises Improvements or any portion thereof.
Section 5. Due Diligence; Condition of Premises
5.1 Due Diligence Period. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5.6 or as
otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessee shall have until five (5) months from the
Commencement Date (such period, as the same may be extended or shortened hereunder, is
referred to herein as the "Due Diligence Period") to complete its due diligence investigations of
the Premises, provided that, if, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, each of the
Conditions Precedent set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied or waived, then Lessor and Lessee
shall have the right to agree that the Due Diligence Period shall expire, in which case the Due
Diligence Period shall expire upon the date of such mutual agreement. During the Due Diligence
Period, Lessee and Lessee's authorized representatives, during normal business hours, shall have
the right to enter upon the Property for the purposes of conducting studies, inspections and
investigations of the Property (without unreasonably interfering with the operations of the current
facilities located on the Property) and analyzing all documents and matters pertaining to the
Property as Lessee reasonably deems necessary or desirable in connection with its leasing of the
Premises, including geotechnical, seismic, mechanical, engineering and environmental testing, and
to satisfy itself in its sole and absolute discretion that the Property is suitable for the Golf Course
Improvements and the Premises Improvements and Lessee's intended use of the Premises,
including without limitation, zoning classifications, building regulations, governmental
entitlements, land use entitlements permitting private recreational use at the Premises (including
without limitation, a general plan amendment, specific plan designation, alcohol permit approvals
n
US Active\113418245\V-2
263
by the City, and lot line adjustments), a determination under the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA") on all actions subject to CEQA (including without limitation the leasehold interest
that may be granted to Lessee under this Lease), and all other legal matters applicable to the
Improvements (collectively, the "Required Project Entitlements"), all at Lessee's sole expense
(collectively, the "Investigation"). The Due Diligence Period shall not exceed five (5) months
except in the event that any person or entity that is not a party to this Lease nor a guarantor of this
Lease challenges any of the Required Project Entitlements, then the Due Diligence Period shall
automatically be extended to end upon the thirtieth (30th) day following the final disposition of
any such challenge (i.e. the entry of a non -appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction
dismissing such challenge, granting some or all of the relief sought by such person or entity, or
settlement of the challenge), provided that Lessee is diligently defending and pursuing such
challenge. Except with respect to provisions that expressly survive the termination of this
Agreement, upon expiration of the Due Diligence Period (which shall not be extended under any
circumstance by Force Majeure), the failure to satisfy the Conditions Precedent and the termination
of this Lease, all of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate and each
party represents and warrants that it understands and agrees that it shall have no right to file a legal
or equitable action against the other party if the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied during the
Due Diligence Period, unless the failed condition was a condition that failed because of a breach
of this Agreement by the other party or because of such party's fraud or willful misconduct. For
the avoidance of doubt, the mere exercise of discretionary authority by the City is not and does not
constitute a breach of this Lease or fraud or willful misconduct by the City or Lessor. In no event
shall a party be permitted to seek damages in connection with such a legal or equitable action that
exceeds One Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).
5.2 Cooperation and Entry Notice. Lessor and Lessee agree to reasonably cooperate
during the Due Diligence Period, including but not limited to Lessor providing public information
to Lessee in Lessee's efforts to obtain approvals from other governmental agencies. Lessee agrees
to make reasonable efforts to notify Lessor, a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before each
entry onto the Premises and/or contact with employees on the Premises.
5.3 Title Due Diligence. At the Premises Turnover Date, the real property comprising
the Premises must be free from all easements, encumbrances, or restrictions other than those set
forth on Exhibit "E", which will be finalized and attached hereto within sixty (60) days from the
Commencement Date (the "Permitted Exceptions"). Lessee at its option may procure an ALTA
extended leasehold owner's policy of title insurance from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the
"Title Company" or "Escrowee") which policy must be free and clear of any exceptions or
objections other than the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"). The Lessor shall have no
obligation to take any action to remove any exceptions or objections that the Title Company may
place on the Title Policy. The cost of a standard leasehold title policy and/or the Title Policy shall
be borne by Lessee.
Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company to deliver to Lessee a Preliminary
Report issued by the Title Company covering the Premises (the "Preliminary Report"), together
with true and legible copies of all documents evidencing matters of record shown as exceptions to
title thereon ("Underlying Documents") as soon as practicable after the Commencement Date.
The Preliminary Report and Underlying Documents shall hereinafter sometimes be collectively
referred to as the "Title Documents". Lessee shall have the right to object to any exceptions
7
US Active\113418245\V-2
264
contained in the Preliminary Report, in Lessee's sole and absolute discretion by giving written
notice to Lessor within fifteen (15) business days after Lessee has received the Title Documents.
Lessee shall have the right to object to any matters revealed by the Survey (as defined below) by
giving written notice to Lessor within fifteen (15) business days after Lessee has received the
Survey. If Lessee disapproves of any matter affecting title or the Survey (the "Title
Disapproval"), Lessor shall have the option until 5:00 p.m. on the day that is five (5) business
days after delivery to Lessor of the Title Disapproval to elect in Lessor's sole and absolute
discretion by written notice to Lessee ("Lessor's Title Response") to (i) cure or remove such
disapproved matter(s) on or before the Premises Turnover Date or (ii) not cure some or all of such
disapproved matters, in which case Lessee may, by written notice to Lessor within five (5) business
days after Lessor's Title Response, elect to waive this contingency or terminate this Lease (in
which event the parties shall have no further obligations to one another except with respect to the
obligations that survive the termination of this Lease). Lessor's failure to timely notify Lessee of
its election aforesaid shall conclusively be deemed to be Lessors' election not to cure any
objection. If Lessee elects not to terminate this Lease as provided above, Lessee agrees that the
matters expressly approved or waived by Lessee in writing shall added and be attached to this
Lease as Exhibit "E" as the "Permitted Exceptions"). Notwithstanding the above, Lessor shall
have no obligation to take any action to remove any exceptions or objections that the Title
Company may place on the Title Policy, whether or not Lessee disapproves such matters. Lessee's
approval of the Preliminary Report shall be without prejudice to Lessee's right to disapprove the
"Survey" (defined below) as provided above, or any supplementary reports issued by Title
Company except those that arise after the Premises Turnover Date. The cost of a standard
leasehold title policy and/or the Title Policy shall be borne by Lessee.
Within five (5) business days after the Commencement Date, Lessor shall provide Lessee with a
copy of any existing ALTA survey of the Real Property in Lessor's possession, if any (the
"Existing Survey"). Lessee shall be responsible, as its sole cost and expense, for thereafter
obtaining and paying for any update to the Existing Survey ("Survey") to meet the requirements
of Lessee or its lender for the Title Policy.
5.4 Indemnification. All Investigations shall be at the sole risk and expense of Lessee
and Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Lessor and its employees, agents, officers and elected
officials, (collectively the "Indemnified Parties") harmless for, from and against any and all
claims, causes of action, demands, injuries, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) or liability (collectively, the "Liability") imposed upon, suffered by, incurred by
or asserted against the Indemnified Parties as a result of or relating to the Investigations conducted
by or on behalf of Lessee in connection with the Property, except for damages resulting from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or those acting at its request or on its behalf or the
discovery of Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 42) on the Property that were not
released on the Property by Lessee or its agents. However, if Lessee takes possession of the
Premises then it shall be responsible for all Hazardous Substance (as defined in Section 42) clean-
up costs that are required for purposes of completing the Premises Improvements on the Property.
Lessee shall maintain and shall cause any person performing work or investigation on the Premises
on behalf of Lessee to maintain a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance with
premiums fully paid, issued by an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Lessee in an
amount not less than $2,000,000.00 to insure the risks covered by the indemnity provided above,
which policy shall name the Indemnified Parties as insureds. The insurance shall not act as a limit
US Active\113418245\V-2
265
on Lessee's Liability. This indemnity shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease, in the event that the Conditions Precedent are
not satisfied and Lessee does not take possession of the Premises, then Lessee shall return the Golf
Course and Premises to substantially their same condition as they existed prior to the
Commencement Date.

5.6 Lease Termination. Items (vii) and (viii) of Section 5.5 shall be collectively
referred to as the "Preliminary Conditions Precedent." If, on or before the expiration of the time
periods set forth for any of the Preliminary Conditions Precedent, Lessee shall determine in its
sole and absolute discretion that any of the Preliminary Conditions Precedent will not be satisfied,
then Lessee may notify Lessor of such determination at any time before or within ten (10) days
after the expiration of such applicable time period that it has elected to terminate this Lease. With
respect to the Preliminary Conditions Precedent set forth in items (vii) and (viii) above, if, on or
before the expiration of the time periods set forth in items (vii) and (viii) above Lessor shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion that items (vii) and (viii) will not be satisfied within
the applicable time period, then Lessor may notify Lessee of such determination at any time before
or within ten (10) days after the expiration of such applicable time period that it has elected to
terminate this Lease. Lessee may terminate this Lease for any reason at any time in its sole and
absolute discretion during the Due Diligence Period by notifying Lessor of such determination (the
"Due Diligence Termination Notice"), whereupon any termination by Lessor or Lessee of this
Lease and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have
any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive
a termination of this Lease). Each party hereto agrees to diligently pursue the satisfaction of all
Conditions Precedent within the time frames set forth herein. In the event that Lessee determines
to proceed with the leasing of the Premises and all of the Conditions Precedent are satisfied and
thereby waive its right to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section 5.6, then Lessee shall
notify Lessor of such determination in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date
that is the tenth business day following the date that the Due Diligence Period shall expire (the
"Due Diligence Acceptance Notice"). If the Lessee delivers the Due Diligence Acceptance
Notice and the Topgolf Guarantor shall not have withdrawn its Guaranty by providing written
10
US Active\113418245\V-2
267
notice of such within five (5) business days of the Due Diligence Acceptance Notice then the
Guaranty shall be deemed to be in full force and effect and the Topgolf Guarantor shall have
waived any rights, if any, to claim that its Guaranty is not in full force and effect. If the Topgolf
Guarantor has given written notice of the withdrawal of its Guaranty then this Lease shall be
deemed terminated and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Lease except those
that expressly survive the termination of this Lease. The Due Diligence Acceptance Notice shall
be deemed to be a confirmation from Lessee that the parties have entered into the Sublease of the
Premises further described in clause (iv) of Section 5.5 hereof. In the event that Lessee shall fail
to deliver either the Due Diligence Termination Notice or the Due Diligence Acceptance Notice
to Lessor on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date that is the tenth business day following
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period then this Lease shall expire and the obligations of the
parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in
connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this
Lease). In addition to the foregoing, if, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period
the Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or the City does not approve of the Required
Project Entitlements, then this Lease and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate
and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those
provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Lease. It is expressly understood that the
City is not committing to issuance of the Required Project Entitlements, including the CEQA
determination or that the Conditions Precedent shall otherwise be satisfied by executing this Lease
as such are subject to a separate discretionary land use entitlement processes, including public
hearings, and/or are outside of the City's control and/or are, as applicable, subject to the approval
of the City.
Within five (5) business days of the delivery by Lessee to Lessor of the Acceptance Notice, so
long as the Topgolf Guarantor shall not have provided written notice that it has withdrawn its
Guarantee, Lessor and Lessee shall each execute a memorandum evidencing this Lease that may
be recorded by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense and in the form of Exhibit "F". If, for
any reason at any time during the Term of this Lease the legal description of the Premises changes,
Lessor and Lessee agree to execute and record a new Memorandum of Lease, modifying the
original Memorandum to reflect such new legal description. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, the parties are under no obligation to modify the legal description of the Premises. In
the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof the parties agree, upon written
request of either party, to execute and record evidence of such termination of the above
Memorandum.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall have no right to
terminate this Lease and Topgolf Guarantor shall have no right to terminate or diminish their
obligations under guaranty following the Premises Turnover Date through the time that the Golf
Course Improvements and the Premises Improvements are completed and a certificate of
occupancy has been issued for the Golf Course and the Premises, except for termination due to a
material default of this Lease by Lessor that Lessor has not remedied after being notified of the
default and afforded the opportunity to cure it as provided in Section 19. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, during construction of the Golf Course Improvements or the Premises Improvements,
Lessee discovers that due to the discovery of Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 42) on
or under the Golf Course or Premises after the Turnover Date which: (i) could not have not been
reasonably discovered by Lessee as part of its investigation of the Premises and Golf Course; and
11
US Active\113418245\V-2
(ii) were not caused by Lessee, its agents, contractors, employees, tenants, occupants or invitees
or otherwise resulting from Lessee's use of the Premises; and Lessee is not able to construct its
contemplated Premises Improvements in accordance with desired or approved plans, site plans and
the Required Project Entitlements, Lessee shall be obligated to return the Golf Course and
Premises to the same or better condition, including all improvements that existed thereon, they
were in prior to the Premises Turnover Date and terminate this Lease and the parties shall have no
further rights or obligations under this Lease except as expressly set forth herein.
Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 5, and provided that Lessor is
not in default of any material provision hereunder, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, within ten (10)
days of such termination and without any representation or warranty whatsoever as to the truth,
accuracy or completeness of such information and Lessor shall rely on such information at
Lessor's sole risk and expense, originals or copies of all studies, reports, maps, documents and
other material obtained by Lessee from third parties as part of Lessee's Investigation that are in
Lessee's possession and that Lessee is not expressly prohibited from providing to Lessor.
5.7 Survival. All those provisions of Section 5.4 and this Section 5.6 whose full
performance are not accomplished prior to any termination of this Lease shall survive such
termination to allow such performance within a reasonable time. However, this provision shall
not extend the Due Diligence Period, provide additional time for satisfying the Conditions
Precedent or in any way result in a leasehold or other possessory interest to be created in the Lessee
or any other party with respect to the Premises or the Property.
Section 6. Liens
6.1 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease (i.e. with regard to the
construction of the Golf Course Improvements and the Premises Improvements), Lessee shall have
no power to do any act or to make any contract that may create or be the foundation for any lien,
mortgage, or other encumbrance on the reversion or other estate of Lessor, or on any interest of
Lessor in the Property.
6.2 Lessee shall not suffer or permit any liens to attach to the interest of Lessor or the
interest of Lessee in all or any part of the Property by reason of any work, labor, services, or
materials done for, or supplied to, or claimed to have been done for or supplied to, Lessee or
anyone occupying or holding an interest in all or any part of any the Golf Course Improvements
on the Property or the Premises Improvements on the Premises through or under Lessee; provided,
that if any such lien shall at any time be filed against the Property, Lessee shall cause the same to
be discharged of record within sixty (60) days after the date of filing the same by either payment,
deposit, or bond. The Topgolf Guarantor shall also be responsible for monitoring such liens and
discharging same if Lessee fails to do so. Lessee may, however, postpone its obligation to
discharge a lien arising out of work done by or for Lessee if Lessee provides Lessor or any
prospective purchaser of Lessor's fee interest with title insurance that insures Lessor's title and
either: (i) omits the lien, or (ii) insures against collection of the debt underlying the lien, and Lessee
shall not be in default of its obligations under this Section 6.2 during any such period of
postponement, provided such title insurance is provided within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period,
at Lessee's expense.

6.3 Subject to Section 12 (and subject to the lien rights of any person, firm or
corporation performing work for providing materials in connection with the Golf Course
Improvements or the Premises Improvements), unless otherwise set forth to the contrary herein,
nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to be, or be construed in any way as constituting, the consent
or request of Lessor, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person, firm, or
corporation for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
construction, rebuilding, alteration, or repair of or to the Property or to any Golf Course
Improvements or Premises Improvements, or as giving Lessee any right, power, or authority to
contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that might in
any way give rise to the right to file any lien against Lessor's interest in the Property or against
Lessor's interest, if any, in the Golf Course Improvements or Premises Improvements. Lessee is
not intended to be an agent of Lessor for the construction of any Golf Course Improvements or
Premises Improvements on the Property. Following completion of the Premises Improvements
and the Golf Course Improvements by or on behalf of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to post
and keep posted at all reasonable times on the Property and on any Golf Course Improvements or
Premises Improvements, any notices that Lessor shall be required to post for the protection of
Lessor, the Property, and of the Golf Course Improvements or Premises Improvements from any
such lien. The foregoing shall not be construed to diminish or vitiate any rights of Lessee in this
Lease to construct, alter, or add to any Golf Course Improvements or Premises Improvements in
accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Section 7. Utilities, Taxes, and Other Charges
7.1 Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for water, gas, electricity, garbage,
telephone, sanitary sewer, storm water, drainage, and any and all other services used by Lessee in
or upon the Premises or any Premises Improvements.
7.2 Subject to Section 7.7, Lessee shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and
discharged, before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost may be added for nonpayment, all real estate
taxes, personal property taxes, privilege taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross
sales charges, assessments (including but not limited to, assessments for public improvements or
benefits), and all other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever,
whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties and regardless of whether
the same shall be extraordinary or ordinary, general or special, unforeseen or foreseen, or similar
or dissimilar to any of the foregoing which, at any time during the Lease Term, or are assessed
based upon the Lease Term, following the Premises Turnover Date, shall be or become due and
payable and which:
7.2.1. Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed against the Premises or any Premises
Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee under this Lease; or
7.2.2. Shall be or become liens against the Premises or any Premises
Improvements or any interest of Lessor or Lessee under this Lease unless caused by or on behalf
of Lessor; or
7.2.3. Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed on or against Lessor by reason of any
actual or asserted engagement by Lessee, or by Lessor at the direction of, directly or indirectly, in
13
US Active\113418245\V-2
270
any business, occupation, or other activity in connection with the Premises or any Premises
Improvements; or
7.2.4. Shall be levied, assessed, or imposed on or in connection with the
ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use, or occupancy of
the Premises or any Premises Improvements under or by virtue of any present or future Legal
Requirement, it being the intention of the parties that, insofar as the same may lawfully be done,
Lessor shall be free from all such expenses and all such real estate taxes, personal property taxes,
privilege taxes, excise taxes, business and occupation taxes, gross sales taxes, occupational license
taxes, water charges, sewer charges, assessments, and all other governmental impositions and
charges of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Premises or the Premises
Improvements (all of such taxes, water charges, sewer charges, assessments, and other
governmental impositions and charges that Lessee is obligated to pay being collectively called
"Tax" or "Taxes").
7.3 If by law any Tax is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in
installments, Lessee may, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance, pay the same,
and any accrued interest on any unpaid balance, in installments as each installment becomes due
and payable, but in any event before any fine, penalty, interest, or cost may be added for
nonpayment of any installment or interest. With respect to any assessments for public
improvements or any similar assessments, Lessee may request amortization of such assessments
over the longest period permitted by governmental authority so long as such does not exceed the
Basic Term or any extension thereof exercised by Lessee. Lessee shall be obligated to pay off any
unpaid balance of any such installment payment plan upon the termination of this Lease.
7.4 Any Tax relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority, a part of which is within
the Lease Term and a part of which is not within the Lease Term, shall be apportioned and adjusted
between Lessor and Lessee so that Lessee shall pay only the portions that correspond with the
portion of such fiscal periods included within such period. Any such adjustments shall be resolved,
as applicable, at the Premises Turnover Date and the expiration of the Lease Term.
7.5 Lessee covenants to furnish to Lessor, within thirty (30) days after the last date
when any Tax must be paid by Lessee as provided in this section, official receipts, if such receipts
are then available to Lessee, of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, evidencing payment.
7.6 Lessee shall have the right at Lessee's expense to contest or review the amount or
validity of any Tax or to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation on which any Tax is based, by
appropriate legal proceedings. Lessee may defer payment of such contested Tax on condition,
however, that if such contested Tax is not paid beforehand and if such legal proceedings shall not
operate to prevent the enforcement of the collection of the Tax so contested and shall not prevent
the sale of the Premises or any Premises Improvements to satisfy the same, then before instituting
any such proceedings, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety company bond, cash deposit, or other
security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor as security for the payment of such Tax, in an amount
sufficient to pay such Tax, together with all interest and penalties in connection with such Tax and
all charges that might be assessed against the Premises or any Premises Improvements in the legal
proceedings. On termination of such legal proceedings, the security originally deposited shall be
14
US Active\113418245\V-2
271
applied to the payment, removal, and discharge of the Tax and the interest and penalties in
connection with the Tax and the charges and costs accruing in such legal proceedings and the
balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee. If such security shall be insufficient for this purpose,
Lessee shall forthwith pay over to Lessor an amount sufficient, together with the security originally
deposited, to pay the same. Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on any money deposited
pursuant to this section.
7.7 Any contest as to the validity or amount of any real or personal property tax, or
assessed valuation on which such tax was computed or based, whether before or after payment,
may be made by Lessee in the name of Lessor or of Lessee, or both, as Lessee shall determine,
and Lessor agrees that it will cooperate with Lessee in any such contest to such extent as Lessee
may reasonably request, and Lessee covenants to indemnify and save Lessor harmless from any
such costs or expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any such Tax and penalties or
interest that have been paid by Lessee.
7.8 Lessee shall be responsible and shall pay or cause to be paid all costs directly or
indirectly related to Lessee's development and use of the Premises and Premises Improvements
constructed thereon.
7.9 The parties shall use reasonable efforts to see that all communications from
governmental authorities respecting Taxes are sent directly by such authorities to Lessee. The
certificate, advice, receipt, or bill of the appropriate official designated by law to make or issue the
same or to receive payment of any Tax or nonpayment of such Tax, shall be prima facie evidence
that such Tax is due and unpaid or has been paid at the time of the making or issuance of such
certificate, advice, receipt, or bill.
Section 8. Insurance
Lessee, at its expense, shall maintain or caused to be maintained by Topgolf or any other
sublessee at all times during the Lease Term commercial general liability insurance in respect of
the Premises and use of the Premises with Lessor as additional insured, with ten million dollars
($10,000,000.00) in "Constant Dollars" (as defined below) minimum combined single -limit
coverage, or its equivalent. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage in such
amount for Lessee's indemnification and other obligations contained herein. Such insurance
policy or policies shall be issued in the name of Lessee, with Indemnified Parties as being included
in the insurance policy definition of who is an additional insured, and shall be primary to any
insurance available to Lessor and the insurance shall not be contributory with or constitute excess
coverage with respect to Lessor's insurance. Lessee shall also maintain or caused to be maintained
by Topgolf or any other sublessee during the Basic Term, at no expense to Lessor, fire and
extended coverage insurance sufficient to replace all Premises Improvements notwithstanding the
amounts set forth below. Such policies of insurance shall be issued by good, responsible
companies that are reasonably acceptable to Lessor and qualified to do business in the state of
California. An insurance certificate or certificates evidencing such insurance shall be delivered to
Lessor prior to the Commencement Date (evidencing coverage in the amount of four Million
Dollars ($4,000,000) covering the Due Diligence Period), and thereafter prior to the Premises
Turnover Date (evidencing coverage in the amount of ten million dollars ($10,000,000)), and
renewal policies shall be delivered to Lessor within ten (10) days before the expiration of the term
15
US Active\113418245\V-2
272
of each such policy or policies. As often as any such policy or policies shall expire or terminate,
renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Lessee in like manner and to
like extent. All policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing the policy
will give Lessor thirty (30) days' written notice in advance of any cancellation, non -renewal
substantial change of coverage, or the effective date of any reduction in amount of insurance.
During such times that TopGolf or another Sublessee of Lessee is not under contract to
operate the Golf Course during the term of this Lease, Lessor shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, in full force and effect, on and with respect to the Golf Course, either proof of self-
insurance, or insurance through a joint powers authority, reasonably acceptable to Lessee in the
amounts and with additional insured requirements set forth in this paragraph or policies of:
(i) commercial general liability insurance, written on an "occurrence" policy form, with bodily
injury and property damage coverage arising out of or relating to Lessor's ownership, business
operations, use or occupancy of the Golf Course, which shall name Lessee, Lessee's first
mortgagee, and Topgolf's first mortgagee and Topgolf as additional insureds as their respective
interests may appear, and (ii) first party property insurance written on a "special form" policy
covering loss or damage to the improvements on the Golf Course for not less than the amount of
the full replacement value of such improvements. The limits of the commercial general liability
policy shall be at least ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) per person, with a combined single limit
of not less than ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) on a "per occurrence" basis (bodily injury
and property damage), or in such higher amounts and with such additional coverages as Lessor
may be required pursuant to agreement with any mortgage lender of Lessor or pursuant to any
other contractual agreement relating to the Golf Course or any part thereof to which Lessor is a
party. At Lessee's request, Lessor shall furnish appropriate certificates of such insurance to
Lessee.
The insurance required of Lessee and Lessor by this provision or otherwise in this Lease
shall not limit such party's liability under any indemnity provision set forth in this Lease or any
other liability that such party may have under this Lease.
"Constant Dollars" shall mean the value of the U.S. dollar to which such phrase refers,
as adjusted from time to time. An adjustment shall occur on the 1 st day of June of the sixth (6th)
full calendar year following the date of this Lease, and thereafter at five (5) year intervals.
Constant Dollars shall be determined by multiplying the dollar amount to be adjusted by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Current Index Number and the denominator of which is the Base
Index Number. The "Base Index Number" shall be the level of the Index for the year of the
Commencement Date; the "Current Index Number" shall be the level of the Index for the year
immediately preceding the adjustment year; the "Index" shall be the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department
of Labor for U.S. City Average, All Items (1982-84=100), or any successor index thereto as
hereinafter provided. If publication of the Index is discontinued, or if the basis of calculating the
Index is materially changed, then Lessor and Lessee shall substitute for the Index comparable
statistics as computed by an agency of the United States Government or, if none, by a substantial
and responsible periodical or publication of recognized authority most closely approximating the
result which would have been achieved by the Index.
Section 9. Lessor's Right to Perform Lessee's Covenants
16
US Active\113418245\V-2
273
9.1 If Lessee at any time fails to pay any Tax in accordance with the provisions of this
Lease or fails to make any other payment (other than Rent) or perform any other material act on
its part to be made or performed (in each instance, to the extent applicable, within the applicable
notice and cure periods provided in this Lease), then Lessor may (but shall be under no obligation
to):
9.1.1. Obtain the same on Lessee's behalf, and without waiving or releasing
Lessee from any obligation of Lessee contained in this Lease or from any default by Lessee and
without waiving Lessor's right to take such action as may be permissible under this Lease as a
result of such default, and after Lessee's failure to obtain any required liability insurance or
evidence thereof, procure such insurance and Lessee shall pay to Lessor the actual costs and
expenses thereof as applicable to that period of time between the expiration of such notice and the
date upon which Lessee provides such certificate or evidence of liability insurance to Lessee as
required hereinabove, and any actual costs incurred by Lessor in obtaining or terminating its
procured insurance; and/or
9.1.2. After ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessee which specifies what
action is required, perform the same on Lessee's behalf, make any other payment or perform any
other act on Lessee's part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease.
9.2 All sums so paid by Lessor and all actual costs and expenses incurred by Lessor, in
connection with the performance of any such act, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by
Lessee under this Lease and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.
Section 10. Compliance with Legal Requirements
10.1 Throughout the Lease Term Lessee shall promptly comply with all Legal
Requirements (as defined in Section 4.2). To the extent that there is any change in Legal
Requirements such that the Permitted Use is no longer a lawful use of the Premises, Lessee may
terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall pay all costs of
compliance with Legal Requirements.
10.2 Lessee shall have the right, after prior written notice to Lessor, to contest by
appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith, in the name of Lessee or Lessor
or both, without cost or expense to Lessor, the validity or application of any Legal Requirement
subject to the following:
10.2.1. If, by the terms of any Legal Requirement, compliance may legally be
delayed pending the prosecution of any such proceeding without the incurrence of any lien, charge,
or liability of any kind against all or any part of the Premises and without subjecting Lessor to any
liability, civil or criminal, for failure to comply, Lessee may delay compliance until the final
determination of such proceeding; or
10.2.2. If any lien, charge, or civil liability would be incurred by reason of any such
delay, Lessee nevertheless may contest the matter and delay compliance, provided that such delay
would not subject Lessor to criminal or civil liability or fine, and Lessee prosecutes the contest
with due diligence.
17
US Active\113418245\V-2
274
10.3 Lessor shall execute and deliver any appropriate papers, as determined in the
Lessee's sole discretion, that may be necessary, proper or desirable to permit Lessee to contest the
validity or application of any Legal Requirement, provided all the requirements of this section
have been satisfied by Lessee.
10.4 Each party shall promptly provide the other party, in the manner provided in
Section 31 below, copies of all material correspondence or other documents sent to or received
from governmental agencies or other persons: (i) relating to Lessee's development of the Premises;
and/or (ii) that may materially adversely affect the fair market value of the Premises.
10.5 Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee, that as of the Commencement Date and
as of the Premises Turnover Date:
10.5.1. Lessor shall not during the Lease Term initiate any action that would create
any encumbrances except for taxes, assessments and fees imposed pursuant to California
Constitution Articles XII C and D (or other applicable laws), that would adversely affect Lessee's
use, operation or occupancy of the Premises.
10.5.2. All persons and entities supplying labor, materials, and equipment to the
Premises have been paid, there are no claims of liens and there are no service contracts applicable
to the Premises.
10.5.3. Except as set forth in Exhibit "L", or as previously disclosed to Lessee by
Lessor, to the best of Lessor's knowledge there is no action in the nature of litigation, claim,
investigation or other proceeding pending or to Lessor's best knowledge, threatened against or
affecting the Premises, the use thereof, or Lessor.
10.5.4. Lessor has not committed nor obligated itself in any manner whatsoever to
sell or lease the Premises to any person other than Lessee. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no right of first refusal regarding the Premises exists. Lessor will not, prior to the
Premises Turnover Date, offer to or enter into any backup or contingent option or other agreement
to sell or lease the Premises to any other person.
10.5.5. There is an existing agreement with a company to operate and manage the
Property (the "Management Agreement"), but the Lessor shall by the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period provide Lessee with reasonable evidence that as of the Commencement Date and
as of the Premises Turnover Date, such Management Agreement shall have been terminated with
respect to the Leased Premises, and that there are no leases, tenancies, rental agreements or
entitlements or use agreements, or unrecorded restrictive covenants affecting all or any portion of
the Premises except for the Permitted Exceptions.
10.5.6. Lessor is not a foreign person, nonresident alien, foreign corporation,
foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate, as those terms are defined in the Internal

this Lease.
US Active\113418245\V-2
275
10.5.8. Lessor has to the best of its knowledge provided or made available to Lessee
all information in Lessor's possession that Lessee has requested, and Lessor to the best of its
knowledge has provided or made available to Lessee any public information or knowledge actually
obtained by Lessor of any change contemplated in any applicable laws, ordinances or restrictions,
or any judicial or administrative action, or any action by adjacent landowners, or natural or
artificial condition, financial or otherwise, which would prevent, limit or impede the use of the
Premises as contemplated by this Lease.
10.5.9. All documents delivered or made available to Lessee by or on behalf of
Lessor are to the best or Lessor's knowledge true and correct copies of the documents in Lessor's

10.5.10. Prior to the Premises Turnover Date, and except as otherwise
provided in this Lease, Lessor has: (i) performed all of its obligations under any lien indebtedness,
and (ii) except as expressly permitted by this Lease, not allowed any lien to attach to the Premises
or any portion thereof which is not discharged at the Premises Turnover Date, nor granted, created,
modified or permitted the creation of, any easement, right-of-way, encumbrance, restriction or
covenant affecting the Premises or any part thereof.
10.5.11. To Lessor's actual knowledge, except as may be contained in the
written materials delivered or made available to Lessee during the Due Diligence Period, Lessor
is not aware of the existence of Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 42) other than that
the Premises were previously owned by Chevron and there is a Chevron refinery located directly
across the public right of way from the Premises. For purposes of this Section 10.5.11, the phrase
"actual knowledge" shall mean the present, actual knowledge of the City Manager ("Lessor's
Designated Representative") with no duty of investigation, inquiry or inspection. In no event
shall Lessee be entitled to assert any cause of action against Lessor's Designated Representative,
nor shall such individual have any personal liability whatsoever for any matter under or related to
this Lease. Lessor represents and warrants that Lessor's Designated Representative is the City
Manager and the person on behalf of Lessor most knowledgeable about the matters which are the
subject of this Section.
Section 11. Operation, Repairs and Maintenance
11.1 Lessee shall maintain and repair or cause to be maintained and repaired the
Premises and any Premises Improvements Lessee constructs on the Premises, and off the Premises
but in conjunction with the development of the Premises and that Lessee is required by Legal
Requirements to maintain, as necessary to keep them in first-class order, condition, and repair
throughout the entire Lease Term after the Premises Turnover Date, at no cost to Lessor, provided
that during the periods that Topgolf is operating the Premises, this condition shall be satisfied by
keeping the Premises in a condition substantially comparable to other facilities currently being
operated by Topgolf. Lessor and Lessee agree that wherever in this Lease an obligation is imposed
on Lessee, Lessee (without being released from any of its obligations under this Lease or requiring
that the Lessor pursue any party other than Lessee for performance of such obligations) shall have
the right to delegate responsibility for performing such obligations and will delegate such
responsibility for performing such obligations to Topgolf or to any other occupant of the entire
Premises approved by Lessor under Section 18 of this Lease (an "Operator") and performance of
19
US Active\113418245\V-2
276
such obligation by Topgolf or the Operator in accordance with the terms of this Lease shall be
deemed performance by Lessee.
11.2 During the Lease term following the completion of the Premises Improvements
and the opening of the Premises to the public (i) Lessee shall operate or cause to be operated the
ground level (or other suitable portion) of the Premises Improvements as a driving range open for
business seven days a week from at least 6:00 a.m. until at least 9:00 p.m., other than on any
Specified Holidays, (ii) the remainder of the Premises Improvements, such that the same are open
for business seven days a week from at least 9:00 a.m. until at least 9:00 p.m., other than on any
Specified Holidays, and (iii) Lessee shall require the person or entity that is subleasing and/or
operating the Premises Improvements to execute as a successor in interest, the Golf Course
Management Agreement, as previously amended in accordance with this Lease ("Continuous
Operation Requirement). The only exception to these requirements shall be during periods of
damage or destruction, condemnation, or when Lessee is conducting alterations, routine repairs,
maintenance and upgrades to the facilities and in such cases Lessee shall work diligently to
minimize the number of hours and/or days that the driving range and/or restaurant are not open
during the Continuous Operation Requirement. For purposes hereof, "Specified Holidays" means
collectively, the following holidays: New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of
July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained or implied in this Lease, in the event that at any time after the expiration of the Operating
Period the Lessee provides written notice that the Premises will not be operated by Topgolf or
another Operator for the Permitted Use (a "Non -Operation Notice"), then Lessee shall not be
deemed to be in default with respect to (i) and (ii) above so long as (i) it is paying Rent and any
other sums owing the Lessor hereunder in a timely manner, and (ii) Lessee either terminates this
Lease as provided below or reopens the Premises for business to the public, in either event within
two (2) years after any Non -Operation Notice (provided that any replacement Operator of the
driving range is approved by Lessor pursuant to Section 18 hereof and agrees to execute as the
successor in interest the Golf Course Management Agreement). Following receipt of the Non -
Operation Notice, Lessor may notify Lessee that Lessor has elected to operate the driving range or
cause the driving range to be operated on an interim basis during the period that the Premises is
not open for business to the public, then Lessor shall then operate the driving range or cause the
driving range to be operated during the time period set forth in Lessor's notice in accordance with
the standards of operation set forth in this Lease until such time as Lessee finds a new Operator
for the Premises. In the event that Lessor elects to operate the driving range as set forth above,
Lessor shall operate the driving range pursuant to a month to month sublease in form and content
reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessee and Topgolf or other Sublessee, which shall provide,
among other things, for (i) the reduction of the Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the monthly net
revenues that Lessor derives from its operation of the Premises (i.e. the aggregate gross revenues
received by Lessor in connection with the operation of the driving range minus all reasonable third
party out of pocket costs incurred by Lessor in connection with the operation of the driving range,
as evidenced by monthly income and expense reports and other reasonable back-up information
reasonably requested by Lessee and/or Topgolf delivered to Lessee and Topgolf by Lessor along
with the monthly rental payments), and (ii) the right of termination by Lessee or Lessor of the
sublease upon thirty business days' prior written notice upon Lessee identifying an Operator that
will sublease the Premises and operate the same for the Permitted Use. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event during Lessor's operation of the Premises shall Lessor utilize
any proprietary equipment and/or other proprietary elements of Topgolf s business, including,
20
US Active\113418245\V-2
277
without limitation, computer hardware and software and other intellectual property, located upon
or about the Premises.
Following the expiration of the Operating Period, including during the two year period following
delivery of the Non -Operation Notice, the Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon
thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor and shall be obligated to pay Rent and all other sums due
through the date of the termination of this Lease and no party hereto shall have any further
obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a
termination of this Lease.
11.3 Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day, Lessee shall make driving bays available for
youth sports and provide a ten percent (10%) discount on driving range charges for residents of
the City of El Segundo and youth sports users identified in this Section and Section 11.4, Lessee
shall provide for access through the first floor of the Premises Improvements and provide for
restroom facilities on the first floor such that individuals under the age of eighteen (18) may choose
not to access the second and third floor of the Premises Improvements.
11.4 During the Lease term, in addition to the requirement of Section 11.3 Lessee shall
allow the uses set forth in Sections IX and X of the Golf Course Operations Manual (Exhibit "J"
hereto) and shall allow the operator of the golf course to use the Premises for the purposes of
providing the services and programs as set forth in Sections IX and X of the Golf Course
Operations Manual (Exhibit "J" hereto) as may be amended from time to time by the City in
accordance with the Golf Course Management Agreement, provided that no such amendment shall
increase Lessee's obligations hereunder or under the Golf Course Operations Manual or require
Lessee to expend additional monies.
11.5 Lessor shall not be required to furnish to Lessee any facilities or services of any
kind whatsoever during the Lease Term, including but not limited to, water, steam heat, gas, hot
water, electricity, light, and power. Lessor shall in no event be required to make any alterations,
rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions, improvements, or repairs to the Premises during the
Lease Term.
11.6 Lessor assigns to Lessee such rights, if any, as Lessor may have against any parties
causing damage during the Lease Term to any Premises Improvements on the Premises, to sue for
and recover amounts expended by Lessee as a result of such damage.
11.7 Commencing on the date that Lessee completes construction of the Premises
Improvements and opens for business at the Premises, El Segundo Police Officers shall initially
be stationed on the Premises from 7:00 p.m. on Fridays to 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays and from 7:00
p.m. on Saturdays to 2:00 a.m. on Sundays. The El Segundo Chief of Police shall have the authority
to determine in his/her reasonable discretion whether to decrease or increase the hours or number
of El Segundo Police Officers needed to be stationed on the Premises. Lessee shall be responsible
for reimbursing the City in a pro -rata amount based upon the number of days remaining in the
year, for the first 1,000 hours of police officer hours (the "Hours Threshold") at the fully burdened
overtime rate (currently one hundred ninety seven dollars per hour/$197.00 per hour) and fifty
percent (50%) of the fully burdened rate for all police officer hours in excess of 1,000 hours
calculated on an annual basis ("Security Costs") as the same shall be adjusted to take into account
21
US Active\113418245\V-2
278
any partial calendar year. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year following the
Rent Commencement Date, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a written statement setting forth the
amount of Security Costs (with reasonable supporting documentation) for the preceding calendar
year. Within sixty (60) days following the delivery of such statement, Lessee shall pay or cause
to be paid to Lessor the Security Costs shown by such statement to be then due and owing to
Lessor. In the event that Lessee disagrees with Lessor's calculation of Security Costs, then prior
to the expiration of the end of the foregoing sixty (60) day period Lessee shall deliver written
notice to Lessor setting forth the basis of its disagreement along with its payment of any undisputed
amounts and Lessor and Lessee shall work together in good faith to resolve any disputed amounts
("Disputed Amounts") as soon as reasonably practicable. No later than the end of the foregoing
sixty (60) day period, or if later, ten (10) business days following the resolution of the Disputed
Amounts, Lessee shall make any additional payment owing to Lessor with regard to any Disputed
Amounts for the applicable year. In computing the Security Costs for the first calendar year
following the Rent Commencement Date (and any calendar year that includes the date of
termination of this Lease), if such calendar year shall contain less than 365 days, then the Hours
Threshold shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in
such shorter calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
Section 12. Development of the Golf Course Premises; Premises Improvements
12.1 Promptly following the Premises Turnover Date, Lessee shall at no cost or expense
to Lessor modify and demolish, as necessary, and improve (or cause to be modified and
demolished, as necessary, and improved) the Golf Course and Premises in accordance with the
Golf Course Improvements and Premises Improvements as set forth in this Lease, and diligently
prosecute the same to completion, provided that the Golf Course Improvements and Premises
Improvements shall be substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by
Lessor as provided in this Lease, all applicable laws, building regulations, and other applicable
restrictions on the use of the Premises, and further provided that Lessee shall be responsible for
obtaining, at no cost or expense to Lessor, all governing and regulatory agency approvals and
permits that may be required in connection with such Golf Course and Premises Improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Topgolf defaults in its construction obligations
under its Sublease with Lessee after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods set
forth in this Lease, which would also constitute a default by Lessee, Lessee shall have the right in
its sole and absolute discretion to either: (a) complete the Golf Course Improvements and/or
Premises Improvements as provided above, or (b) terminate this Lease and return the Golf Course
and Premises to the same or better condition as they were in on the Premises Turnover Date.
Lessee shall not be relieved of any obligation to pay Rent or any other payment in the event of any
such default by Topgolf or any other default hereunder by Lessee unless and until this Lease is
terminated as set forth above in (b) and the Lessor is in possession of the Golf Course and the
Premises and both have been returned to the same or better condition as they existed prior to the
Premises Turnover Date. No action by Lessee to complete the Premises Improvements shall alter
or diminish the Topgolf Guarantor's Guaranties. All improvements to the Golf Course and the
Premises shall be completed within thirteen (13) months of the Premises Turnover Date, subject
to events of Force Majeure and delays caused by Lessor.
12.2 Lessor and Lessee shall meet and attempt to agree on a plan, including but not
limited to addressing any and all construction, operational and liability issues for the period
22
US Active\113418245\V-2
279
commencing on the Premises Turnover Date and ending on the Fixed Rent Commencement Date.
Lessee shall retain in its sole and absolute discretion the absolute and unconditional right to shut
down the Golf Course operations or portions thereof at any time during the period commencing
on the Premises Turnover Date and ending on the Fixed Rent Commencement Date. In this regard,
Lessee anticipates shutting down the Golf Course operations until the Fixed Rent Commencement
Date.
12.3 Lessor shall review and approve the Plans and Specifications, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and/or provide Lessee with its comments within
thirty (30) days after Lessor's receipt of the Plans and Specifications. If disapproved Lessee shall
make all necessary revisions within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt thereof. This procedure
will be repeated until Lessor ultimately approves the conceptual Plans and Specifications or until
this Lease is terminated in accordance with Section 5.4 and/or 5.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the conceptual Plans and Specifications for the Premises Improvements shall be
approved if they are consistent in all material respects with the Prototype Facility and all applicable
zoning and building and safety laws and regulations, and the conceptual Plans and Specifications
for the Golf Course Improvements shall be approved if they are consistent in all material respects
with Exhibit "D" and all applicable zoning and building and safety laws and regulations.
Section 13. Title to Premises Improvements
Title to any Premises Improvements and any modifications, additions, restorations, repairs
and replacements thereof hereafter placed or constructed by or through Lessee shall be and remain
in Lessee until the expiration or termination of the Lease Term. On such expiration or sooner
termination, title to any Premises Improvements shall automatically pass to, vest in, and belong to
Lessor without further action on the part of either party and without cost or charge to Lessor in
accordance with Section 26.1 hereof, provided, however, that no lien rights created or allowed by
Lessee or any assignee or sublessee shall extend beyond the Lease Term. During the Lease Term,
Lessee shall be entitled, for all taxation purposes, to claim cost recovery deductions and the like
on any Premises Improvements.
Section 14. No Waste
Lessee shall not intentionally commit any material waste on or to the Premises.
Section 15. Inspection and Access
Lessor shall have the right to enter on the Premises and any Premises Improvements at all
reasonable times during usual business hours upon not less than three (3) business days' notice for
the purpose of preventing the creation of any prescriptive rights to any third person, allowing
inspection by mortgagees, and, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the expiration of the Lease
Term, Lessor shall have the right to enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to
prospective lessees or purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any access
given to Lessor to enter the Premises for the purposes explicitly stated above shall be subject to
Lessee's reasonable security rules and regulations. Lessee reserves the right to accompany Lessor
at all times during any entry by Lessor. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize any interference with the day to day operations of the Premises in exercising any of its
23
US Active\113418245\V-2
WN
rights under this Section 15. In the event any subtenant has the right to abate rent, as a result of
Lessor's activities under this Section 15, then Lessee shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed
Rent to the extent of such subtenant rent abatement, less any rent loss insurance proceeds received
by Lessee, provided that Lessee has given Lessor prior written notice of the terms of such subtenant
abatement rights.
Section 16. Lessor's and Lessee's Exculpation and Indemnity
16.1 After the Premises Turnover Date, Lessee is and shall be in exclusive control of the
Premises and of any Premises Improvements, and except as otherwise provided herein, Lessor
shall not in any event whatsoever be liable for any injury or damage to any property or to any
person happening on, in, or about the Premises or any Premises Improvements or any injury or
damage to the Premises or any Premises Improvements or to any property, whether belonging to
Lessee or to any other person, caused by any fire, flooding, earthquake, storm, act of God, terrorist
act, breakage, leakage, defect, or bad condition in any part or portion of the Premises or of any
Premises Improvements, or from steam, gas, electricity, water, or rain, that may leak into, or issue
or flow from any part of the Premises or any Premises Improvements from the drains, pipes, or
plumbing work of the same, or from the street, subsurface, or any place or quarter, or due to the
use, misuse, or abuse of all or any of any Premises Improvements or from any kind of injury that
may arise from any other cause whatsoever on the Premises or in or on any Premises
Improvements, including defects in construction of any Premises Improvements, latent or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Lessee from and against all claims and all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred in connection
with all claims, including any action or proceeding brought thereon, arising from or as a result of:
(i) any accident, injury, loss, or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any
person, as shall occur on or about the Premises prior to the Premises Turnover Date, except to the
extent such is caused by the negligent or wrongful acts of the Lessee, (ii) any failure on the part of
Lessor to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions,
or limitations contained in this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with, or (iii) any
negligent act of Lessor or the agents, contractors, servants, or employees of Lessor. In case any
action or proceeding is brought against Lessee by reason of any claims covered in this Section
16. 1, Lessor on written notice from Lessee shall, at Lessor's expense, resist or defend such action
or proceeding by counsel approved by Lessee in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
16.2 To the extent not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its
official, officers, agents, employees or contractors, Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor
harmless for, from and against all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs,
charges, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be imposed on or incurred
by or asserted against Lessor by reason of or in any way related to any of the following occurrences
following the Premises Turnover Date:
16.2.1. Any work done in, on, or about all or any part of the Property by or on
behalf of Lessee or Topgolf or any Premises Improvements related to the use, occupancy or
development of the Property by or on behalf of Lessee or Topgolf;
24
US Active\113418245\V-2
281
16.2.2. Any use, nonuse, possession, occupation, condition, operation,
maintenance, or management of all or any part of the Premises or any Premises Improvements;
16.2.3. Any negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lessee or any of its
agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees, or invitees;
16.2.4. Any accident, injury, or damage to any person or property occurring in, on,
or about the Premises or any Premises Improvements; or
16.2.5. Any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions, or limitations contained in this Lease on its
part to be performed or complied with.
16.3 [Intentionally Omitted]
16.4 In case any action or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any claims
covered in Section 16.2, Lessee on written notice from Lessor shall, at Lessee's expense, resist or
defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by Lessor in writing, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
16.5 If Lessor or Lessee asserts any claim against the other party by reason of the other
party's interest in the Property, the party asserting the claim shall have no claim against the other
party's officers, directors, employees or agents.
16.6 The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Lease.
Section 17. Condemnation
17.1 If all the Premises and Premises Improvements are taken or condemned, by right of
eminent domain or by purchase in lieu of condemnation, or if such portion of the Premises or any
Premises Improvements shall be so taken or condemned that the portion remaining is not sufficient
and suitable for operation of the Permitted Use described in Section 4.1 hereof, in Lessee's
reasonable judgment, to permit the restoration of any Premises Improvements following such
taking or condemnation or for Lessee's use of the Premises as described in Section 4.1 hereof, then
this Lease and the Lease Term, at Lessee's option, shall cease and terminate as of the date on which
the condemning authority takes possession or title (any taking or condemnation of the land
described in this section being called a "Total Taking"), and the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such Total Taking.
17.2 If this Lease expires and terminates as a result of a Total Taking, the rights and
interests of the parties shall be determined as follows:
17.2.1. The total award or awards for the Total Taking shall be apportioned and
paid to Lessee and Lessor in Proportionate Shares. For purposes hereof, the "Proportionate
Shares" of Lessee and Lessor shall be expressed as a percentage of the whole and shall be
calculated as of the date of the Total Taking, as follows: (i) Lessor's Proportionate Share shall
equal the percentage obtained by dividing the Land Value by the Aggregate Sum, and (ii) Lessee's
Proportionate Share shall equal the percentage obtained by dividing the Amortized Improvements
25
US Active\113418245\V-2
282
Cost by the Aggregate Sum. In the event that the Golf Course is condemned then as between
Lessor and Lessee (and the Topgolf Guarantor) any condemnation award with respect to the Golf
Course or Golf Course Improvements shall be exclusively awarded to the City.
(a) The term "Land Value" shall mean the fair market value of the Premises
and the driving range improvements currently located thereon (prior to any development activity
of Lessee or its sublessees or assigns) as determined as of the date of this Lease and without regard
to this Lease, but encumbered by the License Agreement, the use restriction on the Premises
imposed by Chevron in that certain Corporation Grant Deed form Chevron to Lessor, dated May
16, 1988 and recorded in the Official Records of Los Angeles County, California on May 24, 1988
as Instrument No. 88 826097 and any other liens or encumbrances existing as of the date of this
Lease not including this Lease. Lessor and Lessee will work in good faith to agree upon the Land
Value within 180 days from the Commencement Date. Each of Lessee and Lessor may, at its sole
cost and expense, retain one or more appraisers or other valuation consultants to perform appraisals
or other analyses of the Land Value and assist with the determination of the Land Value hereunder.
Following the agreement of Lessor and Lessee with regard to the Land Value, such Land Value
shall remain fixed and shall not be subject to adjustment hereunder.
(b) The term "Amortized Improvements Cost" shall mean at a given point in
time the then unamortized cost of the Premises Improvements (i.e. the aggregate cost of the
Premises Improvements as amortized using 40 year straight line depreciation commencing on the
date that rent commences under the Sublease with Topgolf El Segundo through the date of the
Total Taking hereunder).
(c) The term "Aggregate Sum" shall mean, at any given point in time, the sum
of the Land Value and the Amortized Improvements Cost.
17.3 If, during the Lease Term, there is a taking or condemnation of the Premises or any
Premises Improvements that is not a Total Taking and not a temporary taking of the kind described
below, or if there is a change in the grade of the streets or avenues on which the Premises abuts,
this Lease and the Lease Term shall not cease or terminate, but shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to the portion of the Premises and of any Premises Improvements not taken or
condemned (any taking or condemnation or change of grade of the kind described in this section
being referred to as a "Partial Taking"), and in such event:
17.3.1. The total award or awards for the taking shall be apportioned and paid to
Lessee and Lessor in Proportionate Shares (as calculated as of the date of the Partial Taking).
17.3.2. Following any such taking or condemnation, Rent shall be equitably abated
based on the portion of the Premises taken.
17.4 In the event of a taking of all or a part of the Premises or any Premises
Improvements for temporary use, this Lease shall continue without change, as between Lessor and
Lessee, and Lessee shall be entitled to the entire award made for such use; provided that Lessee
shall be entitled to file and prosecute any claim against the condemn or for damages and to recover
the same, for any negligent use, waste, or injury to the Premises or any Premises Improvements
26
US Active\113418245\V-2
283
throughout the balance of the then -current Lease Term. The amount of damages so recovered shall
belong to Lessee.
17.5 In the event of any dispute between Lessee and Lessor regarding any issue of fact
arising out of a Taking mentioned in this Section 17, such dispute shall be resolved by the same
court in which the condemnation action is brought, in such proceedings as may be appropriate for
adjudicating the dispute.
Section 18. Assignment and Sublease
18.1 Lessee shall have the right to assign this Lease or any interest therein, and shall
further have the right to sublease or sublet all or any portion or portions of the Premises or any
interest therein, with the Lessor's consent which may be withheld in the Lessor's reasonable
discretion based upon the financial strength of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its
experience in operating commercial driving ranges and restaurants. Any such assignment or
subletting by Lessee shall also be subject to all the following provisions:
18.1.1. Lessee shall not then be in default under this Lease beyond the expiration
of any applicable notice and cure period;
18.1.2. The assignee of Lessee shall expressly assume in writing all of Lessee's obligations
hereunder from and after the effective date of any such assignment, including without
limitation enforcing the Continuous Operations Requirement during the Operating Period
as set forth in Section 11.2;
18.1.3. Any sublease or assignment shall be subject to the terms and provisions of
this Lease with respect to such subtenant's or occupant's use and occupancy of the premises in
question and shall not work to alter any term or condition of this Lease;
18.1.4. Except as provided hereinbelow, no such assignment shall relieve Lessee
from liability for payment of Rent herein provided or from the obligations to
observe and be bound by the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Lease. No
transfer of corporate shares of Lessee, if Lessee is a corporation, unless such
transfer of shares will result in a change in the present voting control of the Lessee
by the person or persons owning a majority of said corporate shares on the date of
this Lease, shall constitute an assignment and be subject to the conditions of this
Section 18.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after completion of the Golf Course
Improvements and the Premises Improvements, and payment of all Rent owing as
of the effective date of the assignment, Lessee shall be released from any and all
further liabilities under this Lease from and after the effective date of an assignment
of this Lease to either: (i) an assignee entity, that is not a so called "special purpose
entity," which (on its own or with its guarantor) has a current net worth and net
tangible assets at the time of the assignment, determined according to generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied, of not less than Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000.00) in Constant Dollars as defined in Section 8, or (ii) an
approved assignee entity (as provided above), that is a so called "special purpose
entity," which is able to demonstrate to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction the
27
US Active\113418245\V-2
prospective financial ability and fiscal resources (which may include, but shall not
be limited to, the cash flow from the business operations conducted or to be
conducted on the Premises) to fulfill the monetary obligations of Lessee under this
Lease; so long as the assignee also has significant experience in operating a
commercial driving range and restaurant. Lessee's release from liability pursuant
to subsection (ii) of this Section 18.2.4 (i) shall be effective only if Lessee provides
Lessor within thirty (30) days of request therefor a copy of the assignment and
reasonable evidence of the assignee's qualifications hereunder (and Lessor shall
have sixty (60) days thereafter to review such evidence and render a reasonable
determination in writing to the Lessee); and
18.1.5. Provided that Lessee, within sixty (60) days following final execution of
any sublease or other occupancy agreement for the Premises, provides Lessor with
a copy of such sublease or occupancy agreement certified by Lessee to be a true
and correct copy thereof, and further provided that Lessee does not thereafter
amend such sublease or occupancy agreement without providing to Lessor a similar
certification within sixty (60) days following final execution thereof along with a
copy of the sublease or occupancy agreement as amended as well as such other and
further documentation that is reasonable and necessary to adequately review the
financial strength and experience of the proposed sublessee, Lessor shall have sixty
(60) days to provide written notice to Lessee of its approval or rejection of such
sublease or other occupancy agreement. If Lessor approves of such subtenant or
other occupancy agreement, within sixty (60) days following Lessee's written
request therefor, Lessor shall execute such other documents or instruments as may
be reasonably requested by any subtenant or occupant of the Premises affirming
and evidencing Lessor's recognition of the sublease or occupancy agreement in
question as provided hereinabove so long as: (i) the term of the sublease, inclusive
of renewal options, shall not exceed the Lease Term, (ii) the subtenant's permitted
use is not in violation of Section 4 hereof, (iii) the subtenant certifies that the
sublease is subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease with respect to such
subtenant's or occupant's use and occupancy of the premises in question, and (iv)
the subtenant agrees to execute as the successor in interest the Golf Course
Management Agreement, as previously amended in accordance with this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sublease of the Premises to Topgolf El Segundo shall
prohibit the assignment of the Sublease by Topgolf El Segundo until the expiration of the
Operating Period, except in connection with a "Permitted Topgolf Transfer" (as such term is
hereinafter defined). Topgolf El Segundo shall have the right at any time to assign the Sublease
without the consent of Lessor or Lessee to: (a) any business entity which may, as the result of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets succeed to substantially all of the business
carried on by TGH, (b) any affiliate of TGH ("Affiliate" means any entity directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
TGH. The term "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of TGH, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise), (c) any entity which may, as a result of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, succeed to substantially all of the Topgolf
business now carried on by TGH, and (d) any entity which acquires 50% or more of the issued and
US Active\113418245\V-2
285
outstanding voting stock or ownership interests (or such lesser percentage as shall be sufficient to
acquire voting control) of Topgolf El Segundo or of the corporation or other entity which controls
Topgolf El Segundo. Each of the above (a) through (d) referred to herein is a "Permitted Tov2olf
Transfer."
Lessor hereby approves the sublease of the Premises to Topgolf El Segundo so long as
such Sublease does not alter the terms or conditions of this Lease. Lessee represents and warrants
that the sublease with Topgolf does not alter the terms of the Lease. Lessor also agrees that in the
event that Lessor terminates this Lease as a result of any Event of Default by Lessee, it shall deliver
written notice to Topgolf Guarantor and Topgolf of such termination and shall provide Topgolf
with thirty (30) days in which to determine whether to enter into a lease of the Premises on the
identical rental and other terms and conditions as this Lease (and Lessor shall afford Topgolf the
opportunity to enter into such lease during such thirty (30) day period) which shall take effect
immediately upon termination of this Lease; provided that (i) in connection with its execution and
delivery of such lease, Topgolf Guarantor or Topgolf pays Lessor any unpaid Rent owing by
Lessee to Lessor under this Lease (as determined without regard to any acceleration of or addition
to any such Rents pursuant to Section 20.2.4 hereof) and cures any existing defaults that are
capable of being cured by a person or entity other than the Lessee, and (ii) in the event that Lessee
disputes any such termination of this Lease, and Lessor and/or Lessee bring legal action to
determine its rights hereunder, Topgolf (and Operator) shall have the right to continue to occupy
the Premises during the pendency of such legal action (provided they continue to pay Rent and
other sums to Lessor as they become due hereunder, as determined without regard to any
acceleration or addition to Rents pursuant to Section 20.2.4 hereof) and Lessor shall provide
Topgolf Guarantor or Topgolf, as applicable, the right to enter into the new lease as described
above during the thirty (30) day period after a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this
Lease has terminated or Lessee agrees or otherwise concedes that this Lease has terminated.
18.2 If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC § 101, et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other
consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered to Lessor shall (subject to the Bankruptcy Code)
be and remain the exclusive property of Lessor and shall not constitute property of Lessee within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting
Lessor's property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Lessor shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Lessor and be promptly paid or delivered to Lessor. Any person or entity
to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed
without further act or deed to assume all of the obligations arising under this Lease. Any such
assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument confirming such
assumption. No assignment of this Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code shall have any effect
upon the sublease of the Premises to Topgolf El Segundo which shall continue to be valid and
binding upon the assignee as Lessee hereunder so long as all past and current defaults of Lessee
have been cured to the extent they are capable of being cured by a person or entity other than
Lessee.
18.3 The exercise of any right or other action under this Section 18 shall not diminish or
alter the obligations of Topgolf Guarantor under its guaranty.
Section 19. Lessor Default; Remedies
29

i •
19.1 If Lessor, whether by action or inaction, is in default of any of its obligations under
this Lease and such default continues and is not remedied within thirty (30) days after Lessee has
given Lessor written notice of the same (or, in the case of a default that can be cured but not within
such period of thirty (30) days, if Lessor has not: (i) commenced curing such default within such
thirty (30) day period, (ii) notified Lessee within such thirty (30) day period of Lessor's intention
to cure the default, and (iii) continuously and diligently completed the cure of the default), except

available to Lessee under this Lease, at law or in equity, including, without limitation: (a) the right
to specific performance, and (b) the right to cure such default and deduct the cost of curing such
default from the Rent payable under this Lease.
19.2 No failure by Lessee to insist on the strict performance of any agreement, term,
covenant, or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent on a breach,
and no payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant, or condition. No agreement, term,
covenant, or condition to be performed or complied with by Lessor, and no breach by Lessor, shall
be waived, altered, or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Lessee. No waiver of
any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant, and
condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then -existing
or subsequent breach.
19.3 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease in favor of Lessee shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by Lessee of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in
this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the party in question of any or all other rights or
remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise.
Section 20. Lessee Default; Remedies
20.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a breach of this
Lease by Lessee and an "Event of Default":
20.1.1. If Lessee defaults in the payment of Rent or any other payment due and
payable by Lessee or the provision of insurance, and such default continues for ten (10) days after
Lessor has given Lessee a written notice specifying the same; or
20.1.2. If Lessee, whether by action or inaction, is in default of any of its obligations
under this Lease (other than a default in the payment of Rent or the provision of insurance by
Lessee) and such default continues and is not remedied within thirty (30) days after Lessor has
given Lessee a written notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default that can be cured but
not within a period of thirty (30) days, if Lessee has not: (i) commenced curing such default within
such thirty (30) day period, (ii) notified Lessor of Lessee's intention to cure the default, and
(iii) continuously and diligently completed the cure of the default, not to exceed five (5) months
with respect to a failure to comply with the Continuous Operation Requirement. For purposes of
30
US Active\113418245\V-2
287
this provision, except for the Continuous Operation Requirement, the filing of and diligent
prosecution of successful litigation by Lessee against any sublessee to effect such cure (including
any such litigation to gain possession of the Premises from Topgolf or its successor) shall
constitute commencement of and continuous and diligent completion of cure of default so long as
Rent is paid when due hereunder.
20.2 On the occurrence of an Event of Default and subject to Lessor's obligations as
provided under this Lease and under California law to mitigate Lessor's damages, Lessor shall be
entitled to pursue any right or remedy available to Lessor under this Lease, at law or in equity,

remedies set forth in this section or any other remedy specifically set forth in this Lease.
20.2.1. Subject to Section 20.2.3, Lessor or Lessor's agents and employees may
immediately, or at any time thereafter, reenter the Premises either by summary eviction
proceedings or by any available action or proceeding at law or equity, without being liable to
indictment, prosecution, or damages (except for any damages caused by their negligence or willful
misconduct), and may repossess the same, and may remove any person from the Premises, to the
end that Lessor may have, hold, and enjoy the Premises.
20.2.2. Lessor may relet the whole or any part of the Premises from time to time,
either in the name of Lessor or otherwise, to such lessees, for such terms ending before, on, or after
the termination of the Lease

the right to recover its damages, including, without limitation, all lost rentals, all reasonable costs
incurred by Lessor in restoring the Premises or otherwise preparing the Premises for reletting, and
all reasonable costs incurred by Lessor in reletting the Premises.
20.2.4. To the extent permitted under California law: (i) Lessor may sue
periodically for damages as they accrue without barring a later action for further damages; and (ii)
Lessor may, in one action, recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining
Lease Term equal to the difference between the Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the
Lease Term after the time of award, and the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period,
discounted at the time of award at a reasonable rate not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum.
To avoid a multiplicity of actions, Lessor may obtain a decree of specific performance requiring
Lessee to pay the damages stated in Sections 20.2.3 and 20.2.4 as they accrue.
20.2.5. Termination of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Lessor's other
remedies nor an election of remedies.
20.3 No failure by Lessor to insist on the strict performance of any agreement, term,
covenant, or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent on a breach,
and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute
a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant, or condition. No agreement,
term, covenant, or condition to be performed or complied with by Lessee, and no breach by Lessee,
shall be waived, altered, or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Lessor. No
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant,
31
US Active\113418245\V-2
and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then -
existing or subsequent breach.
20.4 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease in favor of Lessor shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by Lessor of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in
this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the party in question of any or all other rights or
remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise.
20.5 In the event of any default by Lessee under this Lease, Topgolf shall have the same
concurrent period as Lessee has to remedy or cause to be remedied or commence to remedy and
complete the remedy of the default complained of for such default, and Lessor shall accept such
performance by or at the instigation of Topgolf as if the same had been done by Lessee. Each
notice of monetary default given by Lessor will state the amounts of whatever Rent or other
payments are then claimed to be in default. Nothing herein shall require Topgolf to cure any Event
of Default. No such cure shall constitute an assumption of any liability by Topgolf (unless Topgolf
assumes this Lease or enters into a new lease with Lessor as provided in this Lease with respect to
a Lease termination, in their respective sole discretion) unless a liability arises directly from an
obligation of Topgolf hereunder or a negligent or wrongful act of Topgolf in which event Topgolf
shall have the obligation to defend and indemnify the Lessor consistent with the Lessee's
obligation to defend and indemnify Lessor, nor prejudice the right of Topgolf and/or Lessee to
later contest or continue to contest the validity of the claim of the Event of Default.
Section 21. No Abatement of Rent; Encroachments
21.1 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, no abatement, refund,
diminution, or reduction of Rent or other compensation shall be claimed by or allowed to Lessee,
or any person claiming under it.
21.2 Unless directly or indirectly caused by or on behalf of Lessor, if any adjoining
building or structure encroaches on the Premises, no claim, demand, or objection of any kind shall
be made by Lessee against Lessor by reason of such encroachments and no claim for abatement of
Rent due under this Lease shall be made by reason of such encroachments or acts of, or in
connection with, removal of the encroachments. The rights, liabilities, and obligations of the
parties shall be the same as if there were no encroachments. In any related legal proceedings, the
Premises may properly and without prejudice be described according to the description previously
used without reference to any such encroachments. Lessor agrees to fully cooperate at Lessee's
expense with Lessee in any proceedings sought by Lessee to remove such encroachments.
Section 22. Leasehold Mortgages
22.1 Lessee shall have the right, in addition to any other rights granted and without any
requirement to obtain Lessor's consent, to mortgage or grant a security interest in Lessee's interest
in this Lease and the Premises and the Premises Improvements and any subleases, under one or
32
US Active\113418245\V-2
M
more leasehold mortgages or pursuant to a sale-leaseback financing arrangement to one or more
"Lending Institutions" (as defined in Section 22.2), and/or under one or more purchase -money
leasehold mortgages, and to assign this Lease and any subleases as collateral security for such
leasehold mortgages or pursuant to the sale-leaseback financing arrangement, on the condition that
all rights acquired under such leasehold mortgages or pursuant to the sale-leaseback financing
arrangement shall be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth
in this Lease and to all rights and interests of Lessor, none of which covenants, conditions,
restrictions, rights, or interests is or shall be waived by Lessor by reason of the right given to
mortgage or grant a security interest in Lessee's interest in this Lease and the Premises and the
Premises Improvements, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease.
22.2 Any mortgage or sale-leaseback financing arrangement made pursuant to this
section is referred to as a "Permitted Leasehold Mortgage," and the holder of or secured party
under a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage is referred to as a "Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee." The
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is prior in lien or interest among those in effect is referred to
as the "First Leasehold Mortgage," and the holder of or secured party under the First Leasehold
Mortgage is referred to as the "First Leasehold Mortgagee." For the purposes of any rights
created under this section, any so-called wraparound lender shall be considered a First Leasehold
Mortgagee. If a First Leasehold Mortgage and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is second in
priority in lien or interest among those in effect are both held by the same Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee, the two Permitted Leasehold Mortgages are collectively referred to as the "First
Leasehold Mortgage." A Permitted Leasehold Mortgage includes, without limitation, mortgages
and trust deeds as well as financing statements, security agreements, sale-leaseback
instrumentation, and other documentation that the lender may require. The words "Lending
Institution," as used in this Lease, mean any commercial, national, or savings bank, savings and
loan association, trust company, pension trust, foundation, or insurance company, and any other
entity, person, corporation or partnership making a loan on the security of Lessee's interest in this
Lease or all or any part of the Premises Improvements.
22.3 If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee sends to Lessor written notice specifying the
name and address of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, then provided this Lease is still in effect
and as long as such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage remains unsatisfied of record or until written
notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Lessor, the following provisions shall apply (in
respect of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and of any other Permitted Leasehold Mortgages):
22.3.1. There shall be no amendment, or modification, except those explicitly
contemplated by this Lease, of this Lease without in each case the prior consent in writing of the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and the subtenant under the Sublease. Nor shall any merger result
from the acquisition by, or devolution on, any one entity of the fee and the leasehold estates in the
Premises.
22.3.2. Lessor shall, upon delivering Lessee any notice, whether of default or any
other matter, simultaneously deliver a copy of such notice to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee,
and no such notice to Lessee shall be deemed delivered unless a copy is so delivered to the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in the manner provided in this Lease for giving notices.
33
US Active\113418245\V-2
290
22.3.3. In the event of any default by Lessee under this Lease, each Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same concurrent period as Lessee has to remedy or cause to
be remedied or commence to remedy and complete the remedy of the default complained of for
such default, and Lessor shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Lessee. Each notice of monetary default
given by Lessor will state the amounts of whatever Rent or other payments are then claimed to be
in default. Nothing herein shall require any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any Event of
Default. No such cure shall constitute an assumption of any liability by such Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee (unless the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee assumes this Lease or enters into a new
lease with Lessor in their respective sole discretion) unless a liability arises directly from a
negligent or wrongful act of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and in such a case the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the obligation to defend and indemnify the Lessor consistent with
the Lessee's obligation to defend and indemnify Lessor, nor prejudice the right of such Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee and/or Lessee to later contest or continue to contest the validity of the claim
of the Event of Default.
22.3.4. Lessor agrees that the name of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may be
added to the "Loss Payable Endorsement" of any and all insurance policies required to be carried
by Lessee.
22.3.5. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Lease, no liability for the
payment of Rent or the performance of any of Lessee's covenants and agreements shall attach to
or be imposed on the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (other than any obligations expressly
assumed by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee), all such liability (other than any obligations
expressly assumed by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) being expressly waived by Lessor.
22.3.6. Lessor, within thirty (30) days after a request in writing by Lessee or any
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, shall furnish a written statement, duly acknowledged, that this
Lease is in full force and effect and unamended, or if there are any amendments, such statement
will specify the amendments, and that there are no defaults by Lessee that are known to Lessor, or
if there are any known defaults, such statement shall specify the defaults Lessor claims exist.
22.3.7. Intentionally Omitted
22.3.8. Attornment
Lessor, on request, shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to each Permitted Leasehold
Mortgagee an agreement prepared at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, in form satisfactory to
the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and Lessor, among Lessor, Lessee, and the Permitted
Leasehold Mortgagee, agreeing to all the provisions of this section. Lessor shall attorn to any
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or any other person who becomes Lessee by, through, or under a
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, to the extent such is consistent with Section 18.1.5 and as long as
(i) all Rent and other monetary payments due under this Lease have been made; and (ii) the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgage has sufficient net worth, subject to the reasonable approval of the
Lessor, to operate the driving range and restaurant on the Premises.

291
22.3.9. Lessor shall at no time be required to subordinate its interest in the Premises
to the lien of any leasehold mortgage, including any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, nor to
mortgage its fee simple interest in the Premises as collateral or additional security for any leasehold
mortgage, including any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage.
22.3.10. If following completion of the Golf Course Improvements and the
Premises Improvements Lessee is declared bankrupt or insolvent and this Lease is thereafter
lawfully canceled or rejected, Lessor shall to the extent permitted by law promptly execute a new
lease with Topgolf El Segundo under the identical terms and conditions as this Lease, provided (i)
all Rent and other monetary payments due under this Lease have been made; (ii) all defaults that
are capable of being cured by a person or entity other than the Lessee have been cured, and (ii) the
replacement lessee or a guarantor of its obligations hereunder has a net worth of at least
$10,000,000.00.
22.3.11. If Lessor declares bankruptcy and Lessor's bankruptcy trustee
rejects this Lease when there is a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Lessee's right to elect to
terminate this Lease or to retain its rights pursuant to 11 USC § 365(h)(1) shall be exercised by the
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and in the event of any such termination Topgolf El Segundo shall
have the right to enter into a substitute lease in accordance with Section 18.1.5 hereof) so long as
all of Lessee's past and current defaults have been cured to the extent they are capable of being
cured by a person or entity other than Lessee.
22.3.12. No filing of bankruptcy by Lessee, a sublessee, assignee, or
Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or any other party, other than Lessor, under, subject to or
otherwise having rights or obligations under or through this Lease, shall relieve the Topgolf
Guarantor of its obligations.
Section 23. Lessor's Right to Encumber
Lessor, during the Lease Term, may encumber or mortgage its fee simple interest in the
Premises so long as Lessee has reasonably consented, which consent shall be promptly granted if
each of the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) Lessee has received thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any such encumbrance, (ii) the holder of any such encumbrance executes with
Lessee a mutually agreeable nondisturbance and attornment agreement, and (iii) at no time shall
the aggregate amount of all such encumbrances of Lessor's fee simple interest in the Premises
exceed a seventy percent (70%) loan to value ratio (using the land value only without Premises
Improvements). Except as explicitly provided above, Lessor covenants and agrees that Lessor
shall not permit any liens to attach to the Premises that are created by, through or under Lessor. If
any such liens do attach to the Premises, Lessor shall immediately pay off such liens; provided
that if any such liens are not paid off by Lessor within thirty (30) days of the date that Lessor
receives written notice from Lessee that such liens are recorded against the Premises and a demand
that they be removed, Lessee may, at its option, pay off such liens and deduct the payment from
Fixed Rent.
Section 24. Nonmerger
35
US Active\113418245\V-2
292
There shall be no merger of this Lease, or of the leasehold estate created by this Lease,
with the fee estate in the Premises by reason of the fact that this Lease, the leasehold estate created
by this Lease, or any interest in this Lease or in any such leasehold estate, may be held, directly or
indirectly, by or for the account of any person who shall own the fee estate in the Premises or any
interest in such fee estate, and no such merger shall occur, unless and until all persons at the time
having an interest in the fee estate in the Premises and all persons having an interest in this Lease,
or in the leasehold estate created by this Lease, shall join in a written instrument effecting such
merger and shall duly record the same.
Section 25. Quiet Enjoyment
Lessee, on paying the Rent and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements, and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the
Lease Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by, through, or under Lessor as
such, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations, and conditions of this Lease.
Section 26. Surrender
26.1 Except as otherwise provided, Lessee, on the last day of the Lease Term or upon
any earlier termination, shall surrender and deliver up the Premises and any Premises
Improvements to the possession and use of Lessor, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
other than those, if any, existing on the Premises Turnover Date or created or consented to in
writing by Lessor that Lessor expressly agreed would remain following termination of this Lease,
without any payment or allowance whatsoever by Lessor on account of any Premises
Improvements on the Premises, and in a broom clean as -is condition and with the Premises in its
then condition being capable of being operated as a driving range generally consistent with the
operation of the driving range in existence as of the Premises Turnover Date (a "Driving Range").
Subject to the preceding and Lessee's other obligations under this Lease:
26.2 When furnished by or at the expense of Lessee, fixtures, and equipment may be
removed by Lessee at or before this Lease terminates (such items not being subject to any
landlord's lien). For purposes hereof, Lessee's fixtures and equipment include the outfield target
equipment, golf balls, any proprietary technology in the golf ball dispensers and touch screens,
and other proprietary or related technology equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee
shall ensure that the Premises are capable of being operated as a Driving Range upon any
termination and Rent shall be due and payable until Driving Range is operational.
26.3 Any personal property of Lessee that shall remain on the Premises after the
termination of this Lease and the removal of Lessee from the Premises may, at the option of Lessor,
be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee, and may either be retained by Lessor as its property
or be disposed of, without accountability, in such manner as Lessor may see fit, or if Lessor gives
written notice to Lessee to such effect, such personal property shall be removed by Lessee at
Lessee's sole cost and expense. If this Lease terminates early for any reason other than the default
of Lessee, then, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall have ninety (90) days
thereafter to remove its personal property and Lessee shall be responsible for paying all Rent and
other costs required hereunder until the Premises are delivered to the Lessor.
36
US Active\113418245\V-2
293

owned by Lessee unless such loss or damage is caused by Lessor's negligence or willful
misconduct, or that of its agents, employees or contractors.
26.5 If, with the written consent of Lessor, Lessee fails to vacate the Premises after the
expiration of the Lease Term, or any earlier termination hereof, Lessee shall become a tenant from
month to month upon the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that Rent shall be adjusted
beginning on the first day after the expiration or earlier termination to be one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Rent then in effect under this Lease.
26.6 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessee shall be liable
to Lessor for any and all actual and direct damages caused by its failure to vacate the Premises
after the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease hereof, but not including incidental and
consequential damages to Lessor. Lessee shall pay such damages within thirty (30) days of
demand. Lessee shall not be subject to the preceding liability to the extent that Lessor has elected
to allow Lessee to continue as a month-to-month tenant beyond the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
26.7 The provisions of this Section 26 shall survive any termination of this Lease.
Section 27. Invalidity of Particular Provisions
If any term or provision of this Lease or the application of the Lease to any person or
circumstances is, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the
application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and each term and provision of this Lease shall
be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 28. No Representations
Lessee acknowledges that it has examined the Premises and that no representations as to
the condition of the Premises or as to any other matters have been made by Lessor or any agent or
person acting for Lessor except as expressly provided in this Lease.
Section 29. Estoppel Certificate
Either party, within twenty (20) days after a request from time to time made by the other
party and without charge, shall give a certification in writing to any person, firm, or corporation
reasonably specified by the requesting party stating: (i) that this Lease is then in full force and
effect and unmodified, or if modified, stating the modifications; (ii) that Lessee is not in default in
the payment of Rent to Lessor, or if in default, stating such default; (iii) that as far as the maker of
the certificate knows, neither party is in default in the performance or observance of any other
covenant or condition to be performed or observed under this Lease, or if either party is in default,
stating such default; (iv) that as far as the maker (if Lessor) of the certificate knows, no event has
occurred that authorized, or with the lapse of time will authorize, Lessee to terminate this Lease,
or if such event has occurred, stating such event; (v) that as far as the maker of the certificate
knows, neither party has any offsets, counterclaims, or defenses, or, if so, stating them; (vi) the
37
US Active\113418245\V-2

dates to which Rent have been paid; and (vii) any other matters that may be reasonably requested
by the requesting party. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises or encumbrancer of the interest of Lessee hereunder.
A party's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon such party:
(a) that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, except as may be represented by
the party requesting the certificate, and (b) that there are no uncured defaults in such requesting
party's performance.
Section 30. Force Majeure

(excluding Rent or other monetary obligations) is delayed, or prevented in whole or in part by any
acts of God, fire or other casualty, floods, storms or other natural disasters, explosions, accidents,
epidemics, war, civil disorders, labor strikes, shortage or failure of supply of materials, labor, fuel,
power, equipment, supplies or transportation, third party legal challenges, actions taken by
governmental agencies, that could not have been reasonably anticipated by and timely resolved by
a party("Force Majeure"), the party's obligation to perform shall be delayed for a time period
equivalent to the Force Majeure (excluding any monetary obligation). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall an event of Force Majeure extend the Due Diligence Period (except in
the case of certain third party challenges to Required Project Entitlements as more particularly
described in Section 5.1).
Section 31. Notices
31.1 Any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease shall be in writing and

Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, any notice sent or mailed to the last
designated address of any person or party to which a notice may be or is required to be delivered
pursuant to this Lease or this section, shall not be deemed ineffective if actual delivery cannot be
made due to a change of address of the person or party to which the notice is directed or if such
notice is rejected by such party.
Section 32. Venue
32.1 The venue for any claim, controversy, or dispute between the parties arising out of
or relating to this Lease, or to the interpretation or breach thereof, shall be the Los Angeles Superior
Court. The parties may, but are not required to, engage in mediation prior to the initiation of any
litigation.
Section 33. Entire Agreement
This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and, except as otherwise
provided, can be changed, modified, amended, or terminated only by an instrument in writing
executed by the parties. It is mutually acknowledged and agreed by Lessee and Lessor that there
are no verbal agreements, representations, warranties, or other understandings affecting this Lease.
This Agreement was negotiated by and jointly drafted by the parties and the language contained
herein shall not be construed against either party hereto based upon any presumption or evidence
that particular language was drafted by one of the parties hereto. All Exhibits referenced in the
Lease and attached hereto are incorporated into and are considered a part of this Lease.
Section 34. Applicable Law
This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of
California.
Section 35. License Agreement
Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee that as of the date of this Lease, there are no
uncured defaults under the License Agreement and, to Lessor's knowledge, no events have
39
US Active\113418245\V-2
296
occurred, which with the giving of notice or the passage of time could become a default under the
License Agreement.
Lessor and Lessee agree not to take any action that would result in the termination of the
License Agreement or to modify the License Agreement without both parties written consent.
Lessor and Lessee agree to perform all of their respective obligations under the License Agreement
in a timely manner so as not to cause the termination of the License Agreement. If Lessor or
Lessee receives a notice of default from Licensor, then the party receiving the notice shall promptly
give notice of the default to other party, which notice shall include a copy of any such notice of
default that is so given or received.
In the event of a default by Lessor or Lessee under the License Agreement, both parties shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default of the other party by giving notice thereof to
the other party, and any reasonable costs incurred by non -defaulting party in curing such default
shall be borne by the defaulting party.
Section 36. Late Charge
Lessee acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of any Rent or other payments
due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount
of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, without limitation,
processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor.
Accordingly, if any Rent payment is not received by Lessor within ten (10) days after receipt by
Lessee of notice from Lessor that such Fixed Rent is past due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late
charge equal to four percent (4%) of the unpaid Fixed Rent (the "Late Charge"). The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs incurred
by Lessor by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any Late Charge by Lessor
shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to the overdue amount in
question, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder.
Section 37. Nonwaiver
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Lessor or Lessee,
unless such waiver is in writing signed by Lessor or Lessee, as applicable. Waiver of a breach of
any term or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
Acceptance of any Rent or other payments shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.
Section 38. Brokerage
Lessor and Lessee represent to each other that they have not employed any brokers in
negotiating and consummating the transaction set forth in this Lease, but have negotiated directly
with each other. Lessor represents and warrants to Lessee, and Lessee represents and warrants to
Lessor, that no broker or finder has been engaged by it, respectively, in connection with this Lease.
In the event of any claims for brokers' or finders' fees or commissions in connection with the
negotiation, execution, or consummation of this Lease, then Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless,
and defend Lessor from and against such claims if they shall be based on any statement or
M
US Active\113418245\V-2
297
representation or agreement made by Lessee, and Lessor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and
defend Lessee if such claims shall be based on any statement, representation, or agreement made
by Lessor.
Section 39. Miscellaneous Provisions
39.1 Lessee shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to obtain, at its cost, a
lot line adjustment approval, as part of the Required Project Entitlements process which comprise
the Conditions Precedent, to reconfigure the lots currently comprising the Premises to a
reconfiguration reasonably agreed upon with Lessor. As part of or separate from this process,
Lessor and Lessee shall reasonably cooperate with each other in their efforts to subdivide the
Premises.
39.2 Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Lessee shall have the right to choose the
name of the project in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 40. Covenants to Bind and Benefit Parties
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 18, the covenants and agreements contained
in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Lessor, its successors and assigns, and Lessee,
its successors and assigns.
Section 41. Captions and Table of Contents
41.1 The captions of this Lease are for convenience and reference only, and in no way
define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Lease or in any way affect this Lease.
41.2 The table of contents preceding this Lease but under the same cover is for the
purpose of convenience and reference only, and is not to be deemed or construed in any way as
part of this Lease, nor as supplemental or amendatory.
Section 42. Hazardous Materials
The term "Hazardous Substances" shall mean and refer to the following: petroleum
products and fractions thereof, asbestos, asbestos containing materials, urea formaldehyde,
polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive materials and all other dangerous, toxic or hazardous
pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, materials, substances and wastes listed or identified in, or
regulated by, any Environmental Law. The term "Environmental Laws" shall mean and refer to
the following: all federal, state, county, municipal, local and other statutes, laws, ordinances and

41
US Active\113418245\V-2
Lessor shall have the right no more than once annually, to conduct an audit of the Gross
Receipts for the immediately preceding calendar year or prior two years with a qualified Certified
Public Account. The audit shall be conducted with at least ninety (90) days prior notice to Lessee
and during regular business hours at Lessee's or Topgolf's corporate office, solely for the purpose
of determining the accuracy of the Variable Rent calculations and payments for the preceding
calendar year or prior two years. Any such audit shall not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's
business operations. Any such audit by Lessor shall be at Lessor's own expense. If such audit
reveals that the Lessor was underpaid by three percent (3%) or more for the audited period, Lessee
shall pay Lessor the reasonable cost of the audit together with the amount of the underpayment
plus a four percent (4%) penalty on the amount of the underpayment within thirty days of being
presented with a copy of the audit from the Lessor. Except as required by law, Lessor agrees not
to divulge to any person or persons, firm or corporation, the amount of Gross Receipts made from
the Premises except to the taxing authorities and to the extent necessary, Lessor's attorneys,
accountants (and other professional advisors), provided that the public disclosure of the amount of
Variable Rent paid by Lessee shall not be a violation of this provision. If the City receives a
request for such information it shall immediately notify Lessee of such request and if the City
determines the information requested is a matter of public record then the City shall immediately
notify the Lessee in writing of such determination and deliver to Lessee copies of all
correspondence received by City relating to such request. If Lessee provides written notification
to the City within five (5) business days that it disagrees with the City's determination, then the
City shall not release the information and in the event there is litigation filed against the City for
not releasing the information then the City shall immediately notify Lessee in writing of such
litigation, and deliver to Lessee copies of all pleadings, and the Lessee shall be responsible for
paying all of the City's reasonable legal fees and costs as well as monetary award, including legal
fees and costs, that a court of competent of jurisdiction awards to the plaintiff or petitioner,
provided that any counsel selected by the City must be acceptable to Lessee and be independent
counsel free of any conflict of interest. In the alternative, Lessee shall have the right to retain its
own counsel and upon written notice to the City, take over the litigation, provided that any counsel
selected by Lessee must be acceptable to the City and be independent counsel free of any conflict
of interest. In the event of any litigation with respect to this matter each party shall reasonably
cooperate with the other party, without cost, expense or liability (other than de minimis costs) with
respect to any such request for information and/or litigation.
Section 44. Counterparts
This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts and each such counterpart
hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one Lease.
Section 45. Consent and Approval Rights
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease or provided by law, references in this
Lease to "consent," "approval," "acceptable," and "satisfactory" shall not be interpreted as
justifying arbitrary rejection but shall imply a good faith, reasonable application of judgment
taking into consideration customary leasing practice and commercial custom.

42
US Active\113418245\V-2
299
Lessee shall pay prevailing wages as defined by the California Labor Code and applicable
regulations for all the Golf Course Improvements and the Premises Improvements and other work
performed on the Property. Lessee shall provide to Lessor all records required by state law,
including but not limited to the California Labor Code and applicable regulations, to prove that
prevailing wages are being paid, including without limitation maintaining and providing weekly
certified payroll records to the Lessor evidencing that Lessee paid prevailing wage for all of the
Premises Improvements and Golf Course Improvements and other work performed on the
Property.
Section 47. Golf Course
During such times that the Golf Course is not required to be managed by the Lessee or its
agent or a sublessee or its agent, Lessor shall maintain or cause to be maintained the appearance
of the Golf Course in accordance with the same standards that it is maintained as of the execution
of this Lease. In the event that the Lessor changes, or permits a change in, the use of the Golf
Course, the Lessor shall maintain the appearance of the property that comprises the Golf course in
a clean and aesthetically reasonable manner. The Lessee's sole remedy for a breach of this Section
shall be specific performance. In addition, in the event that all or any portion of the Golf Course
is used for business of a sexually oriented nature, such as a strip club or adult novelty store, then
in such event Fixed Rent shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) for as long as such use continues
on the Golf Course.
Section 48. Business License Taxes
Lessee hereby waives and agrees it shall have no right to offset the amount of business license
taxes owed to the City pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code Chapters 3 or 4 based upon sales
tax the City receives from operations occurring on the Premises during the term of this Lease, and
any such applicable sales tax credits are hereby waived.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Lease to be executed by their duly

Exhibit D
GOLF COURSE AND PREMSIES IMPROVEMENTS
GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS
Lessee and a Task Force appointed by the City Council shall work together and
reasonably cooperate for purposes of preparing a preliminary and conceptual design of
the following golf course and clubhouse improvements to be presented to the City
Council for approval consistent with the Lease provisions. The final design shall be
consistent with the conceptual design. During the course of design and ultimate
construction, a "standard of quality" shall be maintained throughout the newly
constructed facility as mutually agreed upon by both parties. The use of the word
"Quality" in this agreement is intended to mean that the building, building materials and
furnishings shall convey design interest and coordination, craftsmanship and use of
durable and visually attractive finishes and materials. With respect to the design of the
improvements to the course itself, "Quality" is intended to mean that, in consultation with
an approved golf course architect, the safety of the facility shall be maintained or
improved, that the level of difficulty in playing the course shall be maintained or
improved. In both the case of the buildings and the course improvements, the City's
intent is that they shall be of the same, or better quality than what currently exist. This
exhibit contains photos of the existing facility as examples of the current level of quality.
The facility is intended to be in "turn -key" condition at the time of completion meaning
that the Lessee shall provide a facility that is furnished and ready for operations.
➢ Construction of new pro shop at approximately 2,500 square feet interior
usable/lease able area. Detailed below are some of the key building
improvements anticipated:
o Facilitv Generallv — Facility shall include a security camera system that
provides surveillance of the interior and exterior of the facility to the
satisfaction of the ESPD.
o Limited Golf Shop Area/Starter Desk — The newly constructed structure
shall contain a segregated area for a pro -shop and starter/check-in desk
as one combined unit. Generally, this facility will be equipped with
sufficient desk space to facilitate placement of a computer, phone and
cash register with desk space providing glass surfaces such that display
shelving is readily accessible by employees and for display of soft goods
as a part of pro -shop operations. This facility will include internet and
phone cabling along with standard electrical outlets installed as provided
for in the latest version of the California Building and Electrical Code.
There will be sufficient space for both the retail storage and display of
retail goods within the pro shop.
346
o Restrooms — separate male and female restrooms, fully ADA compliant to
specifications that are current as of construction year. Restrooms shall
contain the amount of fixture units consistent with city code and capacity
for the facility and be consistent with the existing clubhouse (including
installation of soap dispensers, hand drying devices and trash
enclosures). Restrooms shall be accessed from the interior of the newly
constructed facility.
o Management Office — within the described (structure) a separate office
for management operations shall be included. This office shall include a
door and adequate space for a wall safe as required by current
permitting policy.
o Cafe/Bar with seating area — The facility shall be sufficiently constructed
to include wiring for sound and wi-fi capabilities. Additionally, televisions
of sufficient size (55") shall be included and mounted on the interior and
potentially on the exterior patio areas. Exterior television equipment shall
be constructed with exterior placement/waterproof integrity. Indoor snack
bar portion of facility shall consist of sufficient square footage to maintain
and operate a small commercial kitchen with equipment, such as a
commercial grade reach -in freezer and cooling units, a three
compartment sink, mop closet, griddle (with grill), microwave, dishwasher
and/or fryer. New facility shall also contain sufficient space for and include
an ice making machine and soft drink dispenser (typically vendor
provided) as well as a counter with sufficient space to refrigerate and
serve numerous beer choices. All equipment shall be included and will be
further outlined through the collaborative efforts with the Taskforce during
the design process. Dining area should be able to accommodate 20-30
guests and in accordance with established LA County Health Department
guidelines.
o To the extent practical, all equipment that is in good repair at the existing
facility, not past its useful life shall be utilized and installed at the new
facility.
o Outdoor patio space with seating area — Outdoor space shall include hard
floor surfaces (i.e. concrete or other approved material) and maintain
position directly adjacent to the snack bar entry. Generally this will be at
least 750 square feet with some or all the area covered. The Covered
outdoor area shall be of sufficient size to accommodate adequate seating
for 15-20. The balance of outdoor dining area (which may not be covered)
shall accommodate seating for at least an additional 20-35 This area shall
also be equipped with appropriate space heaters, lighting and outdoor

➢ Construction of a practice putting green and practice chipping/bunker area with
the putting green surface area being no less than 4,500 square feet with the intent
being that the area shall be the maximum allowable by the physical constraints of
the site. Prior to construction, the existing putting green surface area shall be given
sole and exclusive priority to the golf course putting green. Any remainder putting
green may be utilized as a putting green within the TopGolf site.
➢ Screening poles and safety netting will be installed to ensure the safety of golfers,
the public, automobiles, and surrounding properties and rights of way per golf course
architect recommendations
➢ Golf course modifications:
o Upon completion of construction, the golf course with described
improvements shall maintain or increase in degree of difficulty compared
to its current condition. The approved Golf Course Architect shall provide
an assessment of difficulty of the course before and after; Lessee will
maintain and or improve the difficulty of the golf course.
o The overall final design of the golf course after modifications shall
maintain a level of safety consistent or safer than existing conditions. For
the purposes of determining golf course safety, the golf course architect
will determine the degree of safety through the use of industry -accepted
guidelines including dispersion analysis and assumptions that 90% of golf
shots are within 14 degrees from the intended target line in any given golf
hole.
o The course shall have a minimum of one Par 4 hole. While no specific
definition has been established in yardage for distinguishing a range for a
Par 4 hole, effective length as defined by the USGA in conjunction with
consultation by a golf course architect shall prevail. In general, a Par 4 is
considered to maintain yardage with a range of 230-270 yards. In
developing yardage, the Lessee and City will maintain an objective
approach while providing flexibility.
o Construction of new Hole #1 tee box.
o Construction of new Hole #2 green and bunkers.
o Construction of new Hole #3 green, bunkers and tee box.
o Hole #3 will be redesigned in such a fashion to maintain a minimum Par 3
and incorporate the northern body of water feature.
o Construction of new Hole #5 tee box.
o Construction of new Hole #8 tee box.
o Construction of new Hole #9 green, bunkers, and tee box.
o Where possible, the existing tee boxes shall be leveled and lengthened.
Lessee shall make every effort (within the project scope and budget) in
consultation with an approved golf course architect (approved mutually by
the Lessee and City), to expand tee boxes. The intention of this effort is to
increase yardage from tee boxes to holes to achieve the yardage for a
nine hole course within the footprint as possible. The total current
yardage of play for the existing nine -hole course is approximately 1,340
yards from the white tee line (Men's).
o Lessee to add bunkers and/or sand traps to the north side of hole number
8 with the intention of increasing speed of play. Placement, sizing and
number of bunkers and/or sand traps will be based upon approved golf
course architect recommendations.
o When possible, Lessee shall utilize existing and available poles and netting
not otherwise repurposed by TopGolf project.
o Lessee shall install lighting on the golf course to allow for night time play on
the course.

the golf course modifications.
• Expansion of the existing parking which shall extend over the area where Hole #1
is currently located on the golf course and provide adequate parking per city code.

parking spaces that will be reserved (during the hours of operation of the Lakes)
for patrons of the Lakes golf course, consistent with Section 5.4 of this Lease and
subject to the terms and conditions of the approved Required Project Entitlements
(as defined in the Lease). Should parking conflicts arise after the commencement
of joint use of the parking facility, the City and the Lessee shall mutually
cooperate and work together to implement parking control measures to further
reserve parking spaces by use of patrons of the Lakes.

the Improvements such that the Lessor has a good faith, reasonable belief that the Improvements
will not be completed within such period except for delays caused by Force Majeure as defined
in Section 30 of the Lease and except for delays caused by the Lessor, then the Lessor shall make
written demand on Guarantor to so complete the same and to honor all of the obligations set

right to complete the Improvements or return the Premises to the same or better condition as such
existed prior to the Premises Turnover Date, either before, during or after the pursuing of any
other remedy of the Lessor against Lessee and/or the Guarantor, and expend such sums as the
377
Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion deems proper in order to complete the Improvements
pursuant to the requirements of the Lease.
In such event, the Guarantor shall fully and promptly reimburse and repay Lessor for all
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor and such shall not relieve Guarantor from performing any
or all of its additional obligations set forth in Section 1 of this Guaranty. Any amounts payable
by the Guarantor shall be payable on demand, with such amounts bearing interest from and after
the date incurred by the City until paid as provided in Section 3 hereof.

commencing with each such advance by Lessor.

waiver of the other party or parties thereto has been validly granted, is in full force and
effect and is valid and sufficient therefor;
(b) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against
the Guarantor before any court or any governmental, administrative, regulatory,
adjudicatory or arbitrational body or agency of any kind that will (if adversely
determined) materially adversely affect performance by such Guarantor of its obligations

Guaranty shall entitle the Guarantor, by subrogation to the rights of the City or otherwise,
to any payment from or rights in any applicable bonds, title insurance certifications,
commitments or indemnities or other security held by or for the benefit of the City in
connection with the Improvements, until all of the Construction Obligations have been
discharged in full; provided nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of the right of
subrogation of the Guarantor after discharge in full of such obligations.

released by any of the following: (i) any extension of time or forbearance that may be
granted by the City to Lessee or to the Guarantor; (ii) any waiver by the City under the
Lease; (iii) any change or modification in the Lease (subject to the provisions of (c)

party written or other notice as may be required under the Lease; or (viii) the exercise of
any extension of time or other option for performance or, except as set forth in Section
18.1.4 of the Lease, assignment of obligations specifically set forth in the Lease.

Guaranty.
(d) Nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the City from
pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to the City
pursuant to any document or agreement or in law or in equity and against any persons,
firms or entities whatsoever (and particularly, but not by way of limitation, the City may
379
exercise any other rights available to it under the Lease or any other agreement or
security instrument), and the exercise of any of its rights or the completion of any of its
remedies shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder, it
being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that, subject to the terms and provisions of
this Guaranty, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional
under any and all circumstances whatsoever.
(e) The liability of the Guarantor hereunder or any remedy for the

other proceedings, (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liabilities of the
Company or any member of the Company under the Lease or of any remedy for the

future, of the Guarantor to any action, suit or proceeding at law or otherwise, that may be

material obligation to be performed by the City pursuant to this Guaranty, the Lease or
the Golf Course Management Agreement.

which such Financial Statements shall be certified as true and correct by Guarantor's
CFO or Controller. The Company agrees to give the City written notice of the receipt of
the Financial Statements within five (5) business days after receiving them (the
"Company Notice"), and the City shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of the
Company Notice to send one or more representatives to review the Financial Statements
in the corporate office of the Company. In no event shall the City or the Company copy
or duplicate the Financial Statements or remove the Financial Statements from the

immediately notify Guarantor in writing of such determination and deliver to Guarantor
copies of all correspondence received by the City relating to such request. If Guarantor

and in the event there is litigation filed against the City for not releasing the Financial
Information then the City shall immediately notify Guarantor in writing of such litigation,
and deliver to Guarantor copies of all pleadings, and the Guarantor shall be responsible
for paying all of the City's reasonable legal fees and costs as well as any monetary award,
including legal fees and costs, that a court of competent of jurisdiction awards to the
plaintiff or petitioner, provided that any counsel selected by the City must be acceptable
to Guarantor and be independent counsel free of any conflict of interest. In the
alternative, Guarantor shall have the right to retain its own counsel and upon written
notice to the City, take over the litigation, provided that any counsel selected by
Guarantor must be acceptable to the City and be independent counsel free of any conflict
of interest. In the event of any litigation with respect to this matter each party shall
reasonably cooperate with the other party, without cost, expense or liability (other than de
minimis costs) with respect to any such request for information and/or litigation. Within
three (3) days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the 10 -business day period and
(ii) review of the Financial Statements by the City, the Company shall return the
Financial Statements to Guarantor.

circumstances bearing upon the risks of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Company

enforcement of the Construction Obligations, any other obligation hereunder, or any

for more than thirty (30) days to any voluntary or involuntary insolvency
proceedings or bankruptcy proceedings or reorganization; or

determined by Licensee.

C. Notice and Cure. When either party to this Agreement believes that the other party
(the "Defaulting Partv") has committed an Event of Default (other than a Material
De Facto Refusal to Manage, as defined below), it shall give written notice thereof
to the Defaulting Party. The written notice must clearly state that it is a notice of
default and provide a detailed description of the alleged default. The written notice
will not be deemed a proper notice until sufficient detail to clearly and fully inform
the Defaulting Party of the alleged default is provided. The Defaulting Party shall
have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the proper notice to cure the default
unless the default is a non -monetary default and, due to weather, growing conditions
or other factors beyond the reasonable control of the Defaulting party, requires more
time to cure. In order to qualify for a longer cure period, the Defaulting Party must
earnestly begin to cure within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice
to cure and diligently pursue such cure and provide the other party with a detailed
description of the actions necessary and the timing of such actions to cure the
default. In no event will the Defaulting Party have more than ninety (90) days from
the date of the notice in the aggregate to cure a non -monetary default
D. Rights upon Default. If the Defaulting Party does not cure the default within the
grace period provided in Section 9C above, the party complaining of the default
(the "Complaining Partv") may request that the dispute resolution process outline
in Exhibit D be utilized to resolve the default. If the dispute resolution results in a
determination that the defaulting party must undertake certain actions to cure the
default and the defaulting party fails to timely commence to cure the default and
compete the cure within the time frame specified in the dispute resolution process
then the non -defaulting party may terminate this Agreement. To terminate this
Agreement for default, the Complaining Party must issue a written notice of
termination to the Defaulting Party clearly stating the basis for the termination and
the Defaulting Party's failure to cure the alleged default (the "Default Termination
Notice"). The termination shall be effective on the date set forth by the Complaining
Party in its termination notice, provided such notice was properly delivered
hereunder and provided further that, with regard to any termination hereunder other
for an uncured breach of Section 8 hereof by Licensee (a "Section 8 Termination"),
such termination date shall be no later than thirty (30) days following the date of
such termination notice (the "Default Termination Effective Date"). With regard to
a Section 8 Termination, the termination date shall be no earlier than ninety-one
(9 1) days following the delivery of the initial notice of default by the Complaining
Party pursuant to Section 9.0 hereof.

following receipt of notice from Owner pursuant to Section 9.0 above, (ii) terminates
this Agreement other than as a result of an Event of Default by Owner or other
e
permitted basis upon which Licensee is given the right to terminate this Agreement
as provided herein, and (iii) has not previously paid Liquidated Damages to Owner
(collectively, a "Refusal to Manage"), Licensee shall within thirty (30) days after the
occurrence of the Refusal to Manage pay to Owner a cash sum equal to Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000). Any payment made by Licensee to Owner pursuant to this
Section 9E or Section 9F below shall be referred to herein as "Liquidated Damages"
or "Termination Fee"). Upon payment of Liquidated Damages by Licensee to Owner
hereunder, Owner shall have no further rights or remedies with regard to any Refusal
to Manage. Any dispute arising out of this Section E. shall be subject to the dispute
resolution process set forth in Section F. 1. Through 5. Below.
F. Material De Facto Refusal to Manage. After the expiration of the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Effective Date during the term of this Agreement, if Owner
believes that Licensee in bad faith and in intentional disregard of its duties under this
Agreement has failed to perform its management and other duties hereunder such that
the Golf Course Facility has fallen into material disrepair, presents an imminent
hazard to persons on or about the Golf Course Facility or is closed to residents of El
Segundo for a period exceeding thirty (30) days during any one year period (other
than as a result of Force Majeure, casualty, renovation, maintenance, repair
(including, without limitation, any repairs to stormwater, electric and other
infrastructure), condemnation, breach by the City or any Specified Holidays, as
defined in the Ground Lease) and Licensee has not previously paid Liquidated
Damages to Owner (collectively, a "Material De Facto Refusal to Manage"), then the
following procedures shall apply:
1. Owner shall send written notice to Licensee setting forth the specific
basis upon which it believes there has been a Material De Facto Refusal to
Manage (the "Owner Notice").
2. During the fifteen (15) day period following its receipt of an Owner
Notice, Licensee may, by provision of written notice to Owner (a "Tonlzolf
Notice"), elect to (i) cure the matters set forth in the Owner Notice (and, in
such event, Licensee shall have a period of sixty (60) days following delivery
of the Topgolf Notice to effectuate such cure; except for closures exceeding
the 30 days period in which event the cure must be implemented within 30
days; provided that, in the event that such matters cannot reasonably be cured
by Licensee within the applicable period, Licensee shall be provided with
such additional time as may be reasonably required to effectuate the cure of
such matters), or (ii) dispute the basis upon which Owner has claimed a
Material De Facto Refusal to Manage (a "Dispute Election").
3. If Licensee elects the cure option above and does not cure within the
applicable period, then the matter shall proceed to binding arbitration as set
forth below. If Licensee makes a Dispute Election, during the thirty (30) day
period following such election (the "Elevation Period") the dispute shall be
elevated to top management of Owner and Licensee for them to discuss and
try to resolve the dispute in good faith. In the event that the issues are not
441
resolved during the foregoing thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall seek
to resolve the dispute by mediation/arbitration as described below.
4. In the event that the dispute is to be resolved via mediation/
arbitration, the parties shall submit to a mediation session administered by
JAMS within thirty (30) days following the end of the Elevation Period (the
"Mediation Period"). If the parties do not resolve the dispute in the Mediation
Session, then during the fifteen (15) day period following the end of the
Mediation Period, either party may elect to have the dispute resolved by
arbitration pursuant to the JAMS rules of arbitration. In any such arbitration
the arbitrator shall be required to render a reasoned decision that shall set forth
a conclusion as to whether the conduct of Licensee has amounted to a
Material De Facto Refusal to Manage the Golf Course Facility and the actions
that Licensee may take to cure such Material De Facto Refusal to Manage
(the "Cure").
5. During the fifteen (15) day period following any decision of the
arbitrator that there has been a Material De Facto Refusal to Manage, (i)
Licensee may elect to undertake the Cure and, in addition to the forgoing
fifteen (15) day period, Licensee shall have such additional period of time as
may reasonably be required to effectuate the Cure, or (ii) Licensee or Owner
may elect to appeal the arbitrator's decision using the JAMS arbitration appeal
procedure. Any such appeal shall be heard by a three (3) member panel of
arbitrators (which will be selected within 10 days pursuant to a random
process implemented by JAMS) and a decision shall be rendered by a
majority of the arbitrators within 30 days based upon the record before the
original arbitrator. In the event that the panel affirms that there has been a
Material De Facto Refusal to Manage the Golf Course Facility by Licensee
and affirms the Cure, then during the thirty (30) day period following the
panel rendering such decision (plus such additional period as shall be
reasonably required for Licensee to effectuate the Cure), Licensee shall have
the right to effectuate the Cure. In the event that Licensee refuses to effectuate
the Cure during the foregoing period then it shall within fifteen (15) days
thereafter pay to Owner a cash sum equal to Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000). Upon payment of Liquidated Damages by Licensee to Owner
hereunder, Owner shall have no further rights or remedies with regard to any
Material De Facto Refusal to Manage the Golf Course Facility.
I. TERMINATION FEE/LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT
A REFUSAL TO MANAGE OR MATERIAL DE FACTO REFUSAL TO
MANAGE BY LICENSEE AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 9.E. AND 9.F. ABOVE
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGES TO OWNER, AS LICENSEE IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR PAYING CERTAIN LOSSES HEREUNDER DURING THE TERM OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL OPERATION OF THE
GOLF COURSE FACILITIES AND PREMISES IMPROVEMENTS ARE TIED
TOGETHER BASED UPON THE JOINT OPERATION OF THE FACILITIES
AND IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT OWNER
442

10. TERMINATION, CANCELLATION, AND OPERATING SHORTFALLS.
A. Termination.
1. For Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default by the other party as provided in Section 9D above.
2. Without Cause. Owner may terminate this Agreement without cause upon
one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Licensee; provided,

California corporation, as licensor (the "Licensor") and the City as licensee
(the "SCE License"). In the event that during the term of this Agreement
the SCE License shall terminate (and shall not be replaced with a license
agreement in which Licensor grants the City and Licensee and Operator
with at least equivalent rights as set forth in the License) and it is not
commercially feasible for Licensee and/or Operator to continue to operate
the Golf Course in the same manner as Licensee and/or Operator operated
the Golf Course prior to such termination, then Licensee or Owner may
terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
other party hereunder.
B. Cancellation Fee; Default by Owner. In the event either: (i) Owner terminates this
Agreement without cause as provided in Section 10A(2) above, or (ii) Licensee
terminates or this Agreement is terminated due to an Event of Default of Owner

pursuant to Section l0A(1) above and Licensee is not then in default (pursuant to a
default in which Owner has provided written notice to Licensee and Licensee has
been granted the opportunity but has failed to cure pursuant to Section 9.0 above),
then Owner shall pay to Licensee, within forty-five (45) days of the effective date
of such termination, a cancellation fee equal to the unamortized cost of any Capital
Expenditures invested in the Golf Course Facility by Licensee (other than any
Excluded Capital Expenditures) and any such Capital Expenditures funded by the
Capital Reserve Account described in Section 1.H hereof, during the term of this
Agreement (i.e. the gross cost of all such Capital Expenditures made by Licensee
with regard to the Golf Course Facility amortized in accordance with Section 4.J
hereof) but excluding any Capital Expenditures attributable to equipment and other
assets sold by Licensee prior to the effective date of such termination. For purposes
hereof the term "Capital Expenditures" shall include all expenditures for
equipment, machinery, projects, building systems and all improvements, repairs or
replacements which have a useful life (in accordance with GAAP) of a period of
twelve (12) months or more and which cost in excess of Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000). Expenditures for routine and ordinary repairs and maintenance shall not
be considered Capital Expenditures.
For purposes hereof and other references to capital improvements and expenditures
in this Agreement, the term "Excluded Capital Expenditures" means the Capital
Expenditures made by Licensee pursuant to the Lease, set forth in Exhibit D_
thereto, and prior to the re -opening of the Golf Course Facility, including without
limitation installing lights upon the Golf Course Facility and moving holes and
improvements on the Golf Course Facility in order to accommodate the Topgolf

reason or under any circumstances, Licensee's or Operator's (i) proprietary
software and computer programs relating to accounting, operations, marketing, and
forecasting, (ii) operations and employee training materials and manuals of
Licensee or Operator and (iii) the information and processes related to and used by
Licensee or Operator in the marketing and agronomic plan shall remain the sole
property of Licensee or Operator, as applicable, and shall be removed by Licensee
or Operator, as applicable, upon termination of this Agreement.
F. Transition. Provided that Licensee has received, in full, payment of all fees due to
it pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to all Management Fees
and the Cancellation Fee, Licensee shall, without additional payment by the Owner,
cooperate beyond the applicable termination effective date with Owner and any
replacement manager for a reasonable period after the applicable termination
effective date (all parties hereto agree that a reasonable period is not less than two
(2) weeks and not more than four (4) weeks) to facilitate the orderly transition of
the management of the Golf Course Facility.
G. Oneratina Shortfalls. During all periods in which (i) Owner continues to own the
Golf Course Facility, (ii) the Lease remains in full force and effect, and Operating
Shortfalls are incurred in excess of $150,000 (the "Loss Threshold") by Licensee
in three calendar years during any seven year period, then Owner shall reimburse
Licensee for all future Operating Shortfalls in excess of the Loss Threshold per year
(the "Reimbursement Obligation"). Within ninety (90) days following the end of
each calendar year during which the Reimbursement Obligation is in effect and in
which an Operating Shortfall has occurred, Licensee and Guarantor shall provide
Owner with an Annual Report (together with any reasonable supporting documents
and materials) evidencing such Operating Shortfall. All amounts owing with
respect to the Reimbursement Obligation shall be paid by Owner to Licensee within
thirty (30) days of Owner's receipt of the pertinent annual statement (and
reasonable supporting documents and materials). For purposes of this Section,
"Operating Shortfall" shall mean, for any given calculation period, Operating
Expenses exceed Gross Revenues. The Loss Threshold will be prorated for any
period of less than a full calendar year during the term of this Agreement. The Loss
Threshold shall increase by ten percent (10%) at the commencement of each five-
year period during the term of this Agreement commencing with the day following
the fifth (5th) anniversary of the first day of the term of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the definitions set forth in Section 1.D and Section LE hereof, all
revenue and expense amounts shall be recorded in a manner that is equitable to both
parties hereto and accurately reflects actual profits and losses of the operation of
the Golf Course Facility for purposes of this Section 10.G.
5. H. Owner's Review. Upon reasonable prior written notice, but not less
than forty-eight (48) hours' prior written notice, representatives of Owner
shall have the right, up to twice each calendar year, at any time during
normal business hours, to review Licensee's and/or Operator's books and
records relating to the calculation of all Gross Revenues, Gross Receipts and
Operating Expenses for the Golf Course Facility. All expenses related to any
such review shall be borne exclusively by Owner unless such audit reveals
that any the Gross Revenues, Gross Receipts or Operating Expenses were
misstated by five percent (5%) or more in which case the cost of the audit
shall be borne by Licensee.
11. RESERVED
12. RESIDENT FEES; Increases Limited. The resident fee schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit E (as updated from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, the
"Resident Fee Schedule") states the maximum fees that Operator may charge to El Segundo
residents to play golf at the Golf Course Facility (other than Night Golf).
445
A. After Operator completes the Golf Course Facility and the Golf Course Facility
reopens for public play, the rates on the Resident Fee Schedule shall increase once
each calendar year on April 1 by the greater of:
1. a percentage that equals the percentage increase of the CPI (as defined
below) for the twelve month period preceding December 31 immediately
preceding the scheduled increase, and
2. 2% more than the fee listed on the Resident Fee Schedule on the
immediately preceding April 1.
(in the case of 1 or 2, as applicable, the "Maximum Allowed Increase"). For
purposes of this Agreement the term "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor for CPI U (All Urban
Consumers) for the Los Angeles — Long Beach and Anaheim metropolitan area, all
items (1982-1984=100); provided that if the aforementioned compilation or
publication of the CPI shall be discontinued, the parties shall use the government
index that most closely approximates such index. For purposes hereof, "Night Golf'
means any golf play in which the player or players tee off later than the following
times: (i) November 1 - March 15, 5:00 pm local El Segundo time; (ii) March 16 -
Memorial Day, 7:00 pm local El Segundo time, (iii) the day following Memorial
Day - Labor Day, 8:00 pm local El Segundo time, and (iv) the day following Labor
Day - October 31, 7:00 pm local El Segundo time.
B. Each year on April 1, Operator may update the Resident Fee Schedule to reflect
any permitted increases in the fees that it charges El Segundo residents to play golf
at the Golf Course Facility in accordance with Section 12A hereof and may increase
such fees that it charges to El Segundo residents up to the amount listed on the
Resident Fee Schedule. Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, Operator
shall not charge fees to El Segundo residents to play golf at the Golf Course Facility
that exceed the fees listed on the Resident Fee Schedule (as updated in accordance
with the provisions hereof).
C. Operator may, based upon prudent business practices, charge a fee to play golf at
the Golf Course Facility to El Segundo residents that is less than the maximum
amount of that fee listed on the Resident Fee Schedule. If Operator charges such a
fee that is less than the maximum fee stated on the Resident Fee Schedule, Operator
may increase that fee at any time up to an amount equal to or less than the maximum
fee listed on the Resident Fee Schedule.
D. If in any calendar year Operator desires to increase any of the fees on the Resident
Fee Schedule by an amount that exceeds the Maximum Allowed Increase, Operator
must obtain the prior written approval of the City Manager ( the "City Official") or
such increase must comply with the provisions of Section 12.H hereof. Operator
shall not charge any increased fee otherwise prohibited by this Section 12 unless
the City Official has approved the same in writing.
moo
E. Except as permitted by Section 12.1-1, and hereof, if in any calendar year Operator
desires to add a new fee to the Resident Fee Schedule, or to recharacterize an
existing fee and increase the amount of the recharacterized fee in excess of the
Maximum Allowed Increase, Operator must obtain the City Official's prior written
approval. Except as permitted by Section 12.1-1 hereof, Operator shall not charge
any such new or recharacterized fee to El Segundo residents that the City Official
has not expressly approved in writing.
F. El Segundo residents must possess an El Segundo Recreation and Park's
identification card to qualify for the rates set forth above.
G. Reserved.
H. Despite the preceding provisions of this Section 12, Operator may increase one or
more fees on the Resident Fee Schedule more than the Maximum Allowed Increase
(including any such increase effectuated by recharacterizing and increasing such a
fee) or impose a new fee (collectively an "Adjustment") without the approval or
consent of the City Official if all the following conditions precedent occur:
1. Owner imposes a new tax, fee, charge or other imposition (an "Imposition")
that applies to Operator's operation of the Golf Course Facility;
2. the new Imposition causes an increase in Operator's costs and expenses
under this Agreement (for example, the cost of a new or increased tax
imposed on golf play would increase Operator's costs and expenses under
this Agreement);
3. Operator cannot reasonably offset the increased costs and expenses by
increasing fees or charges not on the Resident Fee Schedule;
4. before implementing the Adjustment, Operator provides detailed financial
information reasonably satisfactory to the City Official that shows how the
new Imposition will increase Operator's costs and expenses, and how the
proposed Adjustment will offset the increase;
5. at the City Official's request, Operator meets with City Manager and
Finance Director and in good faith confers about the accuracy of Operator's
calculations; and
6. the Adjustment increases fees no more than reasonably necessary to offset
Operator's increased cost and expenses directly attributable to the new
Imposition.
I. Despite any other provision of this Section 12, the rates listed on the Resident Fee
Schedule must never exceed the rates Operator charges to non -El Segundo residents
for the same goods or services.
447
J. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the limitations on the fees
that Operator may charge for golf play at the Golf Course Facility set forth herein
shall not apply to Night Golf.
13. LIQUOR LICENSE. Subject to any relevant California Alcoholic Beverage Control
("ABC") licensing requirements, Licensee or Operator shall maintain at all times (except
for the application period) a valid liquor license on the premises, and all of the parties
hereto shall comply with all relevant ABC laws regarding the use of such license.
14. Capital Improvements. Licensee shall use or cause Operator to use the Capital Reserve
Account further described in Section 1.H hereof for the purpose of funding Capital
Expenditures.
15. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION.
A. Casualtv.
1. Golf Course Damage. In the event that the Golf Course Facility is damaged
or destroyed by fire, earthquake or casualty not due to the negligence or
intentional misconduct of Owner or Licensee and the proceeds of the
insurance policies maintained by Owner and/or Licensee on the Golf Course
Facility are not sufficient to fully repair or restore the Golf Course Facility
(and Owner fails to make additional funds available to Licensee in an
amount at least equal to one-half of the foregoing shortfall in order to repair
and restore the Golf Course Facility), then Licensee may upon notice to
Owner terminate this Agreement and in such event Licensee shall have no
further obligation to repair or restore the Golf Course. To the extent the Golf
Course Facility is damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake or casualty due
to the negligence or intentional misconduct of Licensee, Licensee shall be
responsible for making all repairs to restore the Golf Course at its expense
and continue to honor its obligations to operate the Golf Course as provided
in this Agreement. In the event that the Golf Course Facility is damaged or
destroyed by fire, earthquake or casualty due to the negligence or intentional
misconduct of Owner, Owner shall be responsible for making all repairs to
restore the Golf Course at its expense and to the extent that Owner
determines that it will not fully repair or restore the Golf Course at its sole
cost, then Licensee may upon notice to Owner terminate this Agreement
and in such event Owner shall have no further obligation to repair or restore
the Golf Course.
2. Damage to Buildings on the Golf Course. If (i) only the buildings included
in the Golf Course Facility are damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake,
casualty or any cause whatsoever, except due to the negligence or
intentional misconduct of Licensee or Owner in which case the provisions
of 15.A.1. shall apply, and (ii) the golf course is fit for play, then, provided
Owner makes sufficient cash sums (including insurance proceeds) available
to Licensee for such purpose, temporary structures shall be placed on the
property for purposes of allowing for a starters' structure to allow for the
coordination and continued use of the Golf Course Facility. With regard to
replacing or repairing the restaurant, pro shop and other facilities, unless the
parties reach another agreement in their respective sole discretion, the party
whose negligence or intentional misconduct caused such damage or
destruction shall be responsible for diligently working to replace or repair
the buildings. If the damage is not due to either party's fault, the parties
shall coordinate and cooperate to make reasonable efforts to seek insurance
or third -party proceeds to repair or replace the facilities and such insurance
proceeds shall be made available to Licensee as provided above.
3. Business Interruption Insurance; Personal Property Coverage. The proceeds
of any business interruption insurance and insurance on its personal
property maintained by Licensee shall be the sole property of and retained
by Licensee.
A. Condemnation.
1. Total Taking. If any material part of the Golf Course Facility is taken in any
proceeding by any governmental authority by condemnation, eminent
domain, or otherwise or is conveyed under threat of such taking such that
the remaining portion will not permit Licensee to operate its business on the
Golf Course Facility in the manner that it previously conducted such
business (as reasonably determined by Licensee), then Licensee may
terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Owner.
2. Partial or Temporary Taking. In the event the Golf Course Facility is
partially or temporarily taken and this Agreement is not terminated, and
Licensee can operate its business on the Golf Course Facility in the manner
that it previously conducted such business (as reasonably determined by
Licensee), or Licensee's operations are only temporarily interrupted, the
Golf Course Facility shall be repaired and restored in accordance with plans
and specifications or put back into operation when Licensee and the Owner
reasonably determine to be appropriate; provided such plans and
specifications are in compliance with applicable law. The Golf Course
Facility shall be restored in accordance with such plans and specifications
or placed back into operation utilizing the proceeds from the condemnation
award; provided that, to the extent that such proceeds are not sufficient to
fully repair or restore the Golf Course Facility Owner may in its discretion
provide Licensee with additional funds as needed to fund such shortfall. In
the event that the proceeds of a condemnation award are not sufficient to
fully repair and restore the Golf Course Facility and Owner does not provide
the requisite funds to cover the shortfall, Licensee or Owner may terminate
this Agreement upon written notice to the other and, in such event, Licensee
shall have no further obligation to repair or restore the Golf Course Facility.
To the extent there are excess proceeds from a condemnation award,
Licensee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the average of the
last two years of net profit payments it received from the Golf Course on a
pro -rated basis with respect to the time period the Golf Course was closed
due to the partial taking, and the Owner shall be entitled to all other proceeds
from the condemnation award.
3. Condemnation Award. For a total taking of the Golf Course, Licensee shall
be entitled to claim an award which compensates Licensee for the loss in
the value of any Capital Expenditures paid by Licensee with respect to the
Golf Course Facility (other than any Excluded Capital Expenditures), which
shall be equal to the unamortized cost of the items funded with such Capital
Expenditures (i.e. the gross cost of such items amortized on a straight line
basis in accordance with Section 4.J hereof), and Owner shall be entitled to
all other condemnation amounts. Termination of this Agreement shall not
affect the right of the respective parties to such awards. If the condemning
authority shall refuse to permit separate claims to be made, then Owner
shall prosecute with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Licensee and with
the reasonable cooperation of Licensee , the claims of both Owner and
Licensee, and the proceeds of the award, after payment of Licensee's costs
incurred (including reasonable attorney's fees and cost of litigation), shall
be apportioned and divided between Owner and Licensee in proportion to
their respective claims in accordance with this Section 1513(3). If joint
representation is not feasible due to potential conflicts between the parties
respective rights and obligations, then each party shall be responsible for
hiring and paying for its own legal counsel.

10.0 MI i itGATION MONITORING AND
REPORTING PROGRAM
Section 1.0, Executive Summarv, and Section 5.0, Environmental Analvsis, identify the mitigation
measures that will be implemented to avoid or lessen the environmental impacts associated with
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project. Public Resources Code § 21081.6 requires a public
agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with
any required mitigation measures applied to the proposed development:
... the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the
project which it has adopted, or made a condition of project approval, in order to mitigate
or avoid significant effects on the environment.
Public Resources Code Section § 21081.6 also provides general guidelines for implementing
mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting/monitoring requirements
enforced during Project implementation must be defined before Final EIR certification.
The mitigation monitoring table provided below lists mitigation measures that can be included as
conditions of approval for the Project. These measures correspond to those outlined in Section
1_0 and discussed in Section 5.0. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly
implemented, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been drafted to identify
the timing and responsibility for each measure. The City of EI Segundo will have the primary
responsibility for monitoring and reporting implementation of the mitigation measures.

AIR QUALITY
AQ -1 In accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403, excessive fugitive dust
emissions must be controlled by regular watering or other dust
prevention measures, and with Rule 402, which requires
implementation of dust suppression techniques to prevent
fugitive dust from creating a nuisance off-site as specified in
the SCAQMD's Rules and Regulations, the following shall be
implemented during construction:
a. All active portions of the construction site must be watered
every three hours during daily construction activities and
when dust is observed migrating from the Project site to
prevent excessive amounts of dust.
b. Appoint a construction relations officer to act as a
community liaison concerning on-site construction activity
including resolution of issues related to particulate matter
generation.
c. Pave or apply water every three hours during daily
construction activities or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers on
all unpaved access roads, parking areas, and staging
areas. More frequent watering must occur if dust is
observed migrating from the site during site disturbance.
d. Any on-site stockpiles of debris, dirt, or other dusty material
must be enclosed, covered, watered twice daily, or non-
toxic soil binders shall be applied.
e. All grading and excavation operations must be suspended
when wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour.

affected area.
g. Track -out devices such as gravel bed track -out aprons (3
inches deep, 25 feet long, 12 feet wide per lane and edged
by rock berm or row of stakes) are required to reduce
mud/dirt trackout from unpaved truck exit routes.
Alternatively a wheel washer must be used at truck exit
routes.
h. On-site vehicle speed must be limited to 15 miles per hour.
i. All material transported off-site must be either sufficiently
watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts
of dust before departing the job site.
j. Reroute construction trucks away from congested streets or
sensitive receptor areas.
HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
HAZ-1 Before a Demolition Permit is issued, an environmental
professional with Phase II/site characterization experience
must conduct an inspection of existing onsite structures. The
inspection must determine whether or not testing is required to
confirm the presence or absence of hazardous substances in
building materials (e.g., sinks, drains, piping, flooring, walls,
ceiling tiles). Should testing be required and results determine
that hazardous substances are present in onsite building
materials, the Phase II/site characterization specialist must
determine appropriate prevention/remediation measures that
are required and/or the methods for proper disposal of
hazardous waste at an approved landfill facility, if required.

N-1 Before the City issues the grading permit, the Project Applicant Before Grading
must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Permit is Issued
Works that the Project complies with the following:
• All construction equipment must be equipped with mufflers
and sound control devices (e.g., intake silencers and noise
shrouds) no less effective than those provided on the
original equipment and no equipment shall have an un -
muffled exhaust.
• The contractor must maintain and tune-up all construction
equipment to minimize noise emissions.
• Stationary equipment must be placed so as to maintain the
greatest possible distance to the sensitive receptors.
• All equipment servicing must be performed so as to
maintain the greatest possible distance to the sensitive
receptors.
• Impact tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and
rock drills) used for Project construction are required to be
hydraulically or electronically powered wherever possible to
avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from
pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of
pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler must be
used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust
by up to approximately 10 dBA. External jackets on the
tools themselves must be used where feasible, and this
could achieve a reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter procedures

must be used, such as drills rather than impact equipment,
whenever feasible.
A qualified "Noise Disturbance Coordinator" will be retained
amongst the construction crew to be responsible for
responding to any local complaints about construction
noise. When a complaint is received, the Disturbance
Coordinator shall notify the City within 24 hours of the
complaint and determine the cause of the noise complaint
(e.g., starting too early, malfunctioning muffler, etc.) and
implement reasonable measures to resolve the compliant,
as deemed acceptable by the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
• Select demolition methods to minimize vibration, where
possible (e.g., sawing masonry into sections rather than
demolishing it by pavement breakers).

11.0 COMMENTS AND RESPONSES
11.1 INTRODUCTION
PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §§ 15120 through
15132 and § 15162, the City of EI Segundo prepared a Draft EIR (DEIR) for The Lakes Specific
Plan and Topgolf Project (SCH No. 2016091003). The DEIR was made available for review and
comment to the public, responsible and trustee agencies, interested groups, and organizations
for a 45 -day period that occurred between January 26, 2017 and March 13, 2017. The DEIR was
also made available directly to State agencies through the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning
and Research. Although not required by CEQA, the City also conducted a noticed Open Public
Comment Session on February 2, 2017, in an effort to solicit and receive verbal comments on the
DEIR.
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Before approving a project, CEQA requires that the Lead Agency prepare and certify a Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). The contents of a FEIR are specified in CEQA Guidelines
§ 15132, as follows:
(a) The draft EIR or a revision of the draft.
(b) Comments and recommendations received on the draft EIR either verbatim or in
summary.
(c) A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the draft EIR.
(d) The responses of the Lead Agency to significant environmental points raised in the review
and consultation process.
(e) Any other information added by the Lead Agency.
The FEIR allows the public and Lead Agency an opportunity to review DEIR revisions, the
comments and responses, and other EIR components, such as the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP), before Project approval. The FEIR serves as the environmental
document to support a decision on the proposed Project. This FEIR document consists of the
following components:
• Section 11. 1, Introduction;
• Section 11.2, Lists of Public Agencies, and Persons and Organizations;
• Section 11.3, Comments and Responses; and
• Section 11.4, Errata to the DEIR.
It is noted, none of the corrections/clarifications identified in this FEIR constitute "significant new
information" pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15088.5. The new information added merely
clarifies/amplifies and makes insignificant modifications to the DEIR. The corrections/
clarifications do not involve changes in the Project or environmental setting, or significant new
Final I May 2017 11-1 Comments and RespM

information. They do not result in a new impact or substantial increase in the severity of an
environmental impact identified in the DER. No new or substantially different mitigation
measures than those identified in the DER are required. Moreover, the new information does
not affect the DEIR's overall conclusions. Therefore, recirculation of the DER is not warranted.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15090, prior to approving a project, the Lead Agency must certify
that:
1. The Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA;
2. The Final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the Lead Agency, and that
the decision-making body reviewed and considered the information in the Final EIR prior
to approving the Project; and
3. The Final EIR reflects the Lead Agency's independent judgment and analysis.
These certifications, or "Findings of Fact," are included in a separate Findings document. Both
the FEIR and the Findings will be submitted to the Lead Agency for consideration of the proposed
Project.

Re: SCH# 2016091003, The takes Specific Plan Project and Topgolf Facility, City of EI Segundo. Los Angeles County,
California
Dear Mr. McClain:
The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) has reviewed the Draft Environmental impact Report prepared for the
project referenced above. The review included the Introduction and Purpose, the Project Description, the Executive Summary,
the Environmental Impact Analysis, the Other CEQA Considerations, Appendix B- NOP Letters, and Appendix D, Phase I and
Phase II Environmental Site Analysis, section 4.2, Federal, State, and Tribal Environmental Factors, prepared by Stantec and
Michael Baker International for the City of EI Segundo. We have the following concerns.
• The Native American Heritage Commission NOP response letter dated September 7, 2016 was not included in
Appendix e — NOP Letters.
• There is no Cultural Resources section in the Executive Summary, no assessments for Cultural Resources (such as
CHRIS w SLF records searches, pedestrian surveys, etc.), and no mitigation measures for inadvertent rinds ❑f
Archaeological Resources, Cultural Resources, Tribal Cultural Resources, or Human Remains.
• -There is no Tribal Cultural Resources section or subsection in the Executive Summary as per California Natural
Resources Agency (2016) "Final Text for tribal cultural resources update to Appendix G: Environmental Checklist
Form." htIpWresources.ca.clovlregaldocs1ab521Clean _final-AB-52-App-G_text-Submitted.pdf
• There are no mitigation measures specifically addressing Tribal Cultural Resources separately, Mitigation measures
must take Tribal Cultural Resources into consideration as required under AB -52, with or without consultation
occurring. Mitigation language for archaeological resources is not always appropriate for or similar to measures
specifically for handling Tribal Cultural Resources.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)', specifically Public Resources Code section 21084.1, states that a project
that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource is a project that may have a significant
effect on the environment.2 If there is substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before a lead agency, that a project may
have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report (EIR) shall be prepared_ In order to determine
whether a project will cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, a Lead agency will need to
determine whether there are historical resources with the area of project effect (APE).
CEQA was amended in 2014 by Assembly Bill 52. {AB 52}.' A6 52 applies to any project for which a notice of preparation
or a notice o1 negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration is Filed on or after July 1, 2015. AB 52 created a
separate category for "tribal cultural resources"5, that now includes "a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse
change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.6 Public
agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource.' Your project may also be subject to
Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) (Burton, Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004), Government Cade 65352.3, if it also involves the adoption of or
amendment to a general plan or a specific plan, or the designation or proposed designation of open space. Both SB 18 and
AB 52 have tribal consultation requirements. Additionally, if your project is also subject to the federal National Environmental
' Pub. Resources Code § 21000 at seq.

Agencies should he aware that AB 52 does not preclude agencies from initiating tribal consultation with tribes thai are
traditionally and culturally affiliated with their jurisdictions before the timeframes provided in AB 52. For that reason, we urge you
to continue to request Native American Tribal Consultation Lists and Sacred Lands File searches from the NAHC. The request
forms can he found online at; httpllnahc.ca.govlresourceslformsl. Additional information regarding AB 52 can he found online

AB 52: Requirements and Best Practices".
The NAHG recommends lead agencies consult with all California Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally
affiliated wiih the geographic area of your proposed project as early as possible in order to avoid inadvertent discoveries of
Native American human remains and best protect tribal cultural resources.
A brief summary of portions of AB 52 and 5B 18 as well as the NAHC's recommendations for conducting cultural resources I -S
assessments is also attached.

information to the public.1``
If a project may have a significant Impact on a tribe) ctdturaI resource, the lead agency's environmental document shall
discuss both or the following:
a. Whether the proposed project has a significant impact on an Identiffed tribal cultural resource.
b. Whether feasible altel'natives or mitigation measures, including those measures that may be agreed 10 pursuant to

This process should be documented in the Tribal Cultural Resources section of your environmental document.
Under SB 18:
Government Code § 55352.3 (a) (f ) requires consultation with Native Americans on general pian proposals for the purposes of
"preserving or mitigating impacts to places, features, and objects described § 5097.9 and § 5091.993 of the Public Resources
Code that are located within the city or county's jurisdiction. Government Code § 85560 (a), (b), and (c) provides for
cunsultaiiun with Native American tribes on the operf-space etement of u c ounly or city general plarf for the purposes of
protecting places, features, and objects described In Sections 5097.9 and 5097.993 of the Public Resources Code.
• SB 18 applies to local governments and requires them to contact, provide notice for rater pians to, and consult with tribes
prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or a specific pian, or the designation of open space. Local
governments should consult the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's "Tribal Consultation Guidei+nes," which can
be found online at: h1tps;//www.opr_ca.govldocs109_14_05_Updated_Guidehrtes 922_pdf
• Tribal Consultation: If a local government considers a proposal to adopt or amend a general plan or a specific plan, or to 2:10
designate open space it is required to contact the appropriate tribes identified by the NAHC by requesting a "Tribal
Consultation List." if a tribe, once contacted, requests consultation the focal government must consult with the tribe on the
plan proposal, A tribe has 90 days from the date of receipt of notification to request consultation unless a shorter
timeframe has been agreed to by the tribe."4
• There is no Statutory Time Limit on Tribal Consultation under the law.
• Confidentiality: Consistent with the guidelines developed and adopted by the Office of Planning ano Research,`" the city or
county shall protect the confidentiality of the information concerning the specific identity, location, character, and use of
places, features and objects described in Public Resources Code sections 5497.9 and 5097.993 that are within the city's or
county's jurisdiction.`
• Conclusion Tribal Consultation; Consultation should be concluded at the point in which:
The parties to the consultation come to a mutual agreement concerning the appropriate measures for preservation
or mitigation; or
Either the local government or the tribe, acting in good faith and after reasonable effort, concludes that mutual
agreement cannot be reached Concerning the appropriate measures of preservation or mitigation.22
_ AHC_Recommendations for Cultural Resources_Assessrrients:
Contact the NAHC for:
o A Sacred Lands File search. Remember that tribes do not always record their sacred sites in the Sacred Lands
File, nor are they required to do so. A Sacred Lands File search is not a substitute tar consultation with tribes that
are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the prefect's APE.
A Native American Tribal Contact List of appropriate tribes for consultation concerning the project site and to assist
in planning far avoidance, preservation in place, or, failing both, mitigation measures.
■ The request form can be found at htip:llnahc,ca.govlresourcesitorrnsl.
Contact the appropriate regional California historical Research Information System (CHR 18) Center
{hgp:J/ahg.parks,cai.gc ?page idd=168} for an archaeological records search. The records search will determine: �•�
o If part or the entire APE has been previously surveyed for cultural resources.
o If any known cultural resources have been already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE.
It the probability is low, moderate, or high that cultural resources are located in the APE.
o II a survey is required to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
It an archaeological inventory survey is required, the final stage is the preparation of a professional report detaiiing the
findings and recommendations of the records search and field survey.
The final report containing site forms, site significance, and mitigation measures should be submitted immediately
to the planning department. All information regarding site locations. Native American human remains, and
associated funerary objects should be In a separate confidential addendum and not be made available for public
disclosure.
The final written report should be submitted within 3 months after work has been completed to the approprtate
regional CHRIS center.

Native American Heritage Commission
February 7, 2017
PA 2-1 This is an introductory comment outlining the items reviewed by the Native American
Heritage Commission (NAHC), and does not address the DEIR's adequacy or raise a
significant environmental issue. As such, no further response is necessary.
PA 2-2 This comment notes the NAHC NOP response letter dated September 7, 2016 was
not included in Appendix B, Notice of Preparation Comment Letters. Comment is
acknowledged and the NAHC NOP response letter dated September 7, 2016 is
attached herewith; see Attachment A. Further, as discussed in Responses PA 2-3
and PA 2-6 below, the Project's Cultural and Tribal Cultural analyses were conducted
in compliance with CEQA, AB 52, and SB 18 requirements. Additionally, the record of
consultation is available for review at the City of EI Segundo Planning and Building
Safety Department, 350 Main Street, EI Segundo, CA 90245.
PA 2-3 This comment addresses the need for Cultural Resources analysis within the
environmental document. DEIR Sections 8.5.a through 8.5.d, Cultural Resources, and
DEIR Sections 8.17.a and 8.17.b, Tribal Cultural Resources, address Cultural and
Tribal Cultural Resources. Impacts were found to be less than significant; see also
DEIR Appendix A, Notice of Preparation/Initial Studv/Environmental Checklist.
Therefore, the Cultural Resources assessment was not included in the Executive
Summary.
Potential impacts concerning Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources were found to be
less than significant, thus, no mitigation was required. Notwithstanding, the
requirement for cultural resources monitoring during ground disturbing activities will be
included in the Project's Conditions of Approval and will read as follows:
a. Archaeological and Native American monitoring shall be conducted for all
ground disturbing activities within the Project site. Monitoring shall be
performed under the direction of a qualified archaeologist meeting the
Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for
archaeology (National Park Service 1983). If cultural resources are
encountered during ground -disturbing activities, work in the immediate area
must halt and the find must be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist.
Depending upon the nature of the find, if the discovery proves to be potentially
significant under CEQA, as determined by the qualified archaeologist,
additional work such as on site monitoring by a qualified Native American Tribal
representative, data recovery excavation, avoidance of the area of the find,
documentation, testing, data recovery, reburial, archival review and/or transfer
to the appropriate museum or educational institution, or other appropriate
actions may be warranted at the discretion of the qualified archaeologist. The
archaeologist shall complete a report of excavations and findings, and submit
the report to the Community Development Director. After the find is
appropriately mitigated, work in the area may resume.

If human remains are found during ground disturbing activities, State of
California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further
disturbance shall occur until the county coroner has made a determination of
origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In
the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner
shall be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be
prehistoric, the coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission
(NAHC), which shall determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The
MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and
may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human
remains and items associated with Native American burials.

RE: SCH# 2016091003; The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Facility Project, Notice of Preparation for Draft Environmental
Impact Report, Los Angeles County, California
Dear Mr_ McClain:
The Native American Heritage Commission has received the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the project referenced above. The
Cal'lfornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Resources Code § 21400 at seq.), specifically Public Resources Code
section 21084,1, states that a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource
is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. (Pub. ReSOU Foes Cotte § 21084.1; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §
lrif)Fi4.ri (h) (CPQq fanideiinPs Sprtinn 1 ri0ti4.5 (b}]. It there is substantial evidence, in lir,. ht of the whole record before a lead
agency, that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report (El R) shall be prepared.
(Pub. Resources Code § 21080 (d); Cal. Code Regs., tit, 14, § 15064 subd.(a)(1) (CEQA Guidelines § 15064 (a)(1)). In order to
determine whether a project will cause a substantial adverse change In the significance of a historical resource, a lead agency
will need to determine whether there are historical resources with ilia area of project effect (APE y.
CEQA was amended significantly in 2014. Assembly Bill 52 (Gatto, Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014) (AS 52) amended CEQA
to create a separate catevry of cultural resources, "tribal cultural resources" (Puts. Resources Code § 21074) and provides
that a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a
project that may have a significant effect on the environment_ (Pub. Resources Cade § 21084.2). Public agencies shall, when
feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource. (Pub. Resources Cade § 21084.3 (a)). AB 52 applies to any
project for which a notice of preparation or a notice of negative declaration or mitigated negative decloration is flied on
or after July 1, 2015. If your project involves the adoption of or amendment to a general plan or a specitic plan, or the
designatlon or proposed designation of open space, an or after March 1, 2005, it may also be subject to Senate Bill 18 (Burton,
Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004) (SB 18). Both SB 18 and AB 52 have tribal consultation requirements. If your project is also
subject to the federal National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. § 4321 at seq.) (NEPA), the tribal consultation requirements
of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (.154 U.S.C. 306101, 36 C.F.R. § 800 et seq) may also appiy.
The NAHC recommends lead agencies consult with all Callfornla Native American tribes that are traditionally and culturally
affiliated with the geographic area of your proposed project as early as possible in order to avoid inadvertent discoveries of
Native American human remains and best protect tribal cultural resources. Below is a brief summary of portions of AB 52 and
SB 18 as well as the NAHC's recommendations for conducting cultural resources assessments. Consult your legal counsel
about compliance with AB 52 and SB 18 as well as compliance with any other applicable taws.
AB 52
AB 52 has added to CEQA the addillonal requirernehts iisred below, along with many other requirements:
t, Fourteen Day, Period to Provide Notice of Comoietion of an
AWlication/Decision to Undertake a Protect: Within fourteen
(14) days of determining that an application for a project is complete or of a decision by a public agency to undertake a
project, a lead agency shall provide formal notification to a designated contact of, or tribal representative of, traditionally

result of the consultation process are not included in the environmental document or if there are no agreed upon mitigation
measures at the conclusion of consultation, or if consultation does not occur, and if substantial evidence demonstrates that
a project will cause a significant effect to a tribal cultural resource, the lead agency shall consider feasible mitigation
pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21084.3 (b). (Pub. Resources Code § 21082.3 (e)).
10. Examples of Mitiaation Measures That. If Feasible, Mav Be Considered to Avoid or Minimize Significant Adverse Impacts to

This process should be documented in the Cultural Resources section of your environmental document.
The NAHC's PowerPoint presentation titled, "Tribal Consultation Under AB 52: Requirements and Best Practices" may be found
online at: http://nahc.ca.govAvp-contentluploads/2015/10/AB52TribalConsultation_CalEPAPDF.pdf
SB 18
SB 18 applies to local governments and requires local governments to contact, provide notice to, refer plans to, and consult
with tribes prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or a specific pian, or the designation of open space. (Gov. Code
§ 65352.3), Local governments should consult the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's "Tribal Consultation
Guidelines," which can be found online at: https://www.opr.ca.gov/docs/09_l4—G5_Updated_Guidelines_922.pdf
Some of SB 18's provisions include:
1. Tribal Consultation: It a local government considers a proposal to adopt or amend a general plan or a specific plan, or to
designate open space it is required to contact the appropriate tribes identified by the NAHC by requesting a "Tribal
Consultation List." If a tribe, once contacted, requests consultation the local government must consult with the tribe on the
plan proposal. A tribe has 90 days from the date of receipt of notification to request consultation unless a shorter
timeframe has been agreed to by the tribe. (Gov. Code § 65352.3 (a)(2)).
2. No Statutory Time Limit on SB 18 Tribal Consultation. There is no statutory time limit on SB 18 tribal consultation.
3. Confidentialitv: Consistent with the guidelines developed and adopted by the Office of Planning and Research pursuant to
Gov. Code section 65040.2, the city or county shall protect the confidentiality of the information concerning the specific
identity, location, character, and use of places, features and objects described in Public Resources Code sections 5097.9
and 5097.993 that are within the city's or county's jurisdiction. (Gov. Code § 65352.3 (b)).
4. Conclusion of SB 18 Tribal Consultation: Consultation should be concluded at the point in which:
a. The parties to the consultation come to a mutual agreement concerning the appropriate measures for preservation
or mitigation; or
b. Either the local government or the tribe, acting in good faith and after reasonable effort, concludes that mutual
agreement cannot be reached concerning the appropriate measures of preservation or mitigation. (Tribal
Consultation Guidelines, Governor's Office of Planning and Research (2005) at p. 18).
Agencies should be aware that neither AB 52 nor SB 18 precludes agencies from Initiating tribal consultation with tribes that are
traditionally and culturally affiliated with their jurisdictions before the timeframes provided in AB 52 and SB 18. For that reason,
we urge you to continue to request Native American Tribal Contact Lists and "Sacred Lands File" searches from the NAHC. The
request forms can be found online at: http://nahc.ca.gov/resources/forms/
566
NAHC Recommendations for Cultural Resources Assessments
To adequately assess the existence and significance of tribal cultural resources and plan for avoidance, preservation in place, or
barring both, mitigation of project -related impacts to tribal cultural resources, the NAHC recommends the following actions -
1. Contact the appropriate regional California Historical Research Information System (CHRIS) Center
(httpWohp.parks -ca.govl?page_id=1068) for an archaeological records search The records search will determine:
a. If part or all of the APE has been previously surveyed for cultural resources.
b. If any known cultural resources have been already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE
c. If the probability is low, moderate, or high that cultural resources are located in the APE
d. If a survey is required to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.
2. If an archaeological inventory survey is required, the final stage is the preparation of a professional report detailing the
findings and recommendations of the records search and field survey.
a. The final report containing site forms, site significance, and mitigation measures should be submitted immediately
to the planning department. All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and
associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum and not be made available for public
disclosure
b. The final written report should be submitted within 3 months after work has been completed to the appropriate
regional CHRIS center.
3. Contact the NAHC for
a. A Sacred Lands File search. Remember that tribes do not always record their sacred sites in the Sacred Lands
File, nor are they required to do so. A Sacred Lands File search is not a substitute for consultation with tribes that
are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the project's APE.
b. A Native American Tribal Consultation List of appropriate tribes for consultation concerning the project site and to
assist in planning for avoidance, preservation in place, or, failing both, mitigation measures.
4. Remember that the lack of surface evidence of archaeological resources (including tribal cultural resources) does not
preclude their subsurface existence
a. Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plan provisions for the
identification and evaluation of inadvertently discovered archaeological resources per Cal Code Regs., tit. 14,
section 15064.5(f) (CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(f)). In areas of identified archaeological sensitivity, a
certified archaeologist and a culturally affiliated Native American with knowledge of cultural resources should
monitor all ground -disturbing activities.
b. Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plans provisions for the
disposition of recovered cuitural items that are not burial associated in consultation with culturally affiliated Native
Americans.
c. Lead agencies should include in their mitigation and monitoring reporting program plans provisions for the
treatment and disposition of inadvertently discovered Native American human remains Health and Safety Code
section 7050 5, Public Resources Code section 5097.98, and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, section 15064.5,
subdivisions (d) and (e) (CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5, subds. (d) and (e)) address the processes to be
followed in the event of an inadvertent discovery of any Native American human remains and associated grave
goods in a location other than a dedicated cemetery.

PA 5-1 These comments are introductory and state that the Project is located within County
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County District No. 5 jurisdictional boundary. This
comment does not address the DEIR's adequacy or raise a significant environmental
issue. As such, no further response is necessary.
PA 5-2 This comment acknowledges the existing regulatory setting discussions included on
DEIR page 5.9-6. This comment does not address the DEIR's adequacy or raise a
significant environmental issue. As such, no further response is necessary.
PA 5-3 This comment provides the updated Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP)
wastewater treatment average flow volume of 253.4 million gallons per day (MGD).
The DEIR assumed a wastewater treatment average flow volume of 380 MGD. To
clarify the JWPCP's wastewater treatment average flow volume, DEIR pages 5.9-13,

Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review
process for the proposed The Lakes Specific Plan Project, located in the City of El Segundo, near State Route -1.
The proposed Lakes Specific Plan consists of the 26.54 -acre area that currently comprises The Lakes at El
Segundo. The project proposes to replace the existing driving range with a Topgolf facility on approximately 12 6-1
acres. Other improvements would include modifications to the fairways/layout of the existing golf course, parking
lot expansion, screening pole installation, replacement of existing net poles, turf installation, and demolition,
construction aFa new clubhouse.
Caltrans has reviewed the traffic study and does not have any further comments.
In the Spirit of mutual cooperation, Caltrans staff is available to work with your planners and traffic engineers for
this project, if needed. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact project coordinator

ITE: The Lakes Specific Plan Project and TopgolfEacility —City of EI Segundo — Notice of
Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report
Dear Mr. Chalfant:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Lakes Specific Plan Project and Topgolf
Facility, comprised of three properties totaling approximately 31 acres and generally located at 400
South Sepulveda Boulevard in the City of EI Segundo. This letter conveys recommendations frorn the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) concerning issues that are
germane to our agency's statutory responsibility in relation to our facilities and services that may be
affected by the proposed project.
Project Description:
The project site is located in the southeast quad rairt of the City of El Segundo. It includes three areas
generally located at 400 South Sepulveda Boulevard, north of South Hughes Way and south of East EI
Segundo Boulevard, tota;ing approximately 31 acres. These areas consist of The Lakes at El Segundo,
a generally triangular-shaped area of approx. 26.6 acres and the subject of The Lakes Specific Plan; an
approx. 3.6 -acre Southern California Edison easement immediately east of The Lakes; and an approx.
0.7 -acre portion of West Basin Municipal Water District's property immediately south ofThe Lakes.
The Lakes Specific Plan development project proposes to replace the existing two-level, 57 -bay driving
range with a three-story TopGolf facility on approx. i 2 -acres located within the southern portion of the
site. Other project improvements would include modifications to the fairways and layouts of three
holes at the existing golf course, parking lot expansion, screening pole installation, repiacement of
existing net poles, replacing driving range grass with high density fiber turf, and demolition of the
existing clubhouse and construction of a new clubhouse.
Metro Comments:
Bus Operations:
Metro bus line 232. operates on South Sepulveda Boulevard, adjacent to the proposed project.
Although the project is not expected to res0t in any long-term impacts on transit, the developer
should be aware of the bus services that are present. Please contact Metra Bus Operations Control
Special Events Coordinator at 213-922-4632 regarding construction activities that may Ir-npact Metro

Congestion Management Program: 7"1
Beyond impacts to Metro facilities and operations, Metro must also notify the applicant of state
requirements. A Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA), with roadway and transit components, is
required under the State of California Congestion Management Program (CMP) statute. The CMP TIA
Guidelines are published in the "201 Q Congestion Management Program for Los Angeles County",
Appendix D (attached). The geographic area examined in the TIA must Include the following, at a
minimum:
1. All CMF' arteria; monitoring intersections, including monitored freeway on/off-ramp
intersections, where the proposed project will add 50 or more trips during either the a.m. or
p.m. weekday peals hour (of adjacent street traffic).
Z. If CMP arterial segments are being analyzed rather than intersections, the study area must
incIurie all segments where the proposed project will add 50 or more peak, hoar trips (total
of both directions). Within the study area, the TIA must analyze at least one segment
between monitored CMP intersections.
3. Mainline freeway -monitoring locations where the project will add 150 or more trips, in
either direction, during either the a,m. or p.m. weekday peak hour
d. Caltrans must also be consulted through the NOP process to identify other specific
locations to be analyzed on the state highway system.
The CMP TIA requirement also contains two separate impact studies covering roadways and transit,
as outlined in Sections D.8.1 — Dr9A, If the TIA identifies no facilities for study based on the criteria

GUIDELINES FOR CMP TRANSPORTATION
IMPACT ANALYSIS
Important Notice to User- This section pr owdes detailed travel statistics for the Los
Angeles area which will be updated on an ongoing basis. Updates will be distributed to all
local jurisdictions when available. In order to ensure that impact analyses reflect the best
available information, lead agencies inay also contact MTA at the time of study initiation.
Please contact MTA staff to request the most recent release of "Baseline Travel Data for
CMP TIAs. "
D.1 OBJECTIVE OF GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are intended to assist local agencies in evaluating impacts of land
use decisions on the Congestion Management Program {CMP} system, through
preparation of a regional transportation impact analysis (TIA). The following are the basic
objectives of these guidelines:
❑ Promote consistency in the studies conducted by different jurisdictions, while
maintaining flexibility for the variety of project types which could be affected by these
guidelines.
❑ Establish procedures which can be implemented within existing project review
processes and without ongoing review by MTA.
❑ Provide guidelines which can be implemented immediately, with the full intention of
subsequent review and possible revision.
These guidelines are based on specific requirements of the Congestion Management
Program, and travel data sources available specifically for Los Angeles County. References
are listed in Section D.10 which provide additional information on possible methodologies
and available resources for conducting TIAs.
D.2 GENERAL PROVISIONS
Exhibit D-7 provides the model resolution that local jurisdictions adopted containing CMP
TIA procedures in 1993. TIA requirements should be fulfilled within the existing
environmental review process, extending local traffic impact studies to include impacts to
the regional system. In order to monitor activities affected by these requirements, Notices
of Preparation (NOPs) must be submitted to MTA as a responsible agency_ Formal MITA
approval of individual TIAs is not required.
The following sections describe CMP TIA requirements in detail. In general, the
competing objectives of consistency & flexibility have been addressed by specifying
standard, or minimum, requirements and requiring documentation when a TIA varies
from these standards.
2010 Congeslron Management Program for Los Angeles County
go
7-2
APPFNDix D - GUIDE.LINES FOR CMP TRANSPORTAMN IMMc-r ANALYSIS PAGI, D-2
D3 PROJECTS SUBJECT TO ANALYSIS
In general a CMP TIA is required for all projects required to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) based on local determination. A TIA is not required if the lead agency
for the EIR finds that traffic is not a significant issue, and does not require local or regional
traffic impact analysis in the EIR. Please refer to Chapter 5 for more detailed information.
CMP TIA guidelines, particularly intersection analyses, are largely geared toward analysis
of projects where land use types and design details are known. Where likely land uses are
not defined (such as where project descriptions are limited to zoning designation and
parcel size with no information on access location), the level of detail in the TIA may be
adjusted accordingly. This may apply, for example, to some redevelopment areas and
citywide general plans, or community level specific plans. In such cases, where project
definition is insufficient for meaningful intersection level of service analysis, CMP arterial
segment analysis may substitute for intersection analysis.
DA STUDY AREA
The geographic area examined in the TIA must include the following, at a minimum:
❑ All CMP arterial monitoring intersections, including monitored freeway on- or off -ramp
intersections, where the proposed project will add 50 or more trips during either the
AM or PM weekday peak hours (of adjacent street traffic). 7-2
❑ If CMP arterial segments are being analyzed rather than intersections (see Section D.3),
the study area must include all segments where the proposed project will add 50 or
more peak hour trips (total of both directions). Within the study area, the TIA must
analyze at least one segment between monitored CMP intersections.
❑ Mainline freeway monitoring locations where the project will add 150 or more trips, in
either direction, during either the AM or PM weekday peak hours.
❑ Caltrans must also be consulted through the Notice of Preparation (NOP) process to
identify other specific locations to be analyzed on the state highway system.
If the TIA identifies no facilities for study based on these criteria, no further traffic analysis
is required. However, projects must still consider transit impacts (Section D.8.4).
D.5 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The following sections describe the procedures for documenting and estimating
background, or non -project related traffic conditions. Note that for the purpose of a TIA,
these background estimates roust include traffic from all sources without regard to the
exemptions specified in CMP statute (e.g., traffic generated by the provision of low and very
low income housing, or trips originating outside Los Angeles County, Refer to Chapter 5,
Section 5.2.3 for a complete list of exempted projects).
D.5.1 Existing Traffic Conditions. Existing traffic volumes and levels of service (LOS) on
the CMP highway system within the study area must be documented. Traffic counts must
1010 Congesdron Management Program for Los Angeles County
585
APPENDix D - GUIDELINES FOR CMP TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS PAGE D-3
be less than one year old at the time the study is initiated, and collected in accordance with
CMP highway monitoring requirements (see Appendix A). Section D.8.1 describes TIA
LOS calculation requirements in greater detail. Freeway traffic volume and LOS data
provided by Caltrans is also provided in Appendix A_
D.S.2 Selection of Horizon Year and Background Traffic Growth. Horizon year(s)
selection is left to the lead agency, based on individual characteristics of the project being
analyzed. In general, the horizon year should reflect a realistic estimate of the project
completion date. For large developments phased over several years, review of intermediate
milestones prior to buildout should also be considered.
At a minimum, horizon year background traffic growth estimates must use the generalized
growth factors shown in Exhibit D-1. These growth factors are based on regional modeling
efforts, and estimate the general effect of cumulative development and other socioeconomic
changes on traffic throughout the region. Beyond this minimum, selection among the
various methodologies available to estimate horizon year background traffic in greater
detail is left to the lead agency. Suggested approaches include consultation with the
jurisdiction in which the intersection under study is located, in order to obtain more
detailed traffic estimates based on ongoing development in the vicinity.
D.6 PROPOSED PROJECT TRAFFIC GENERATION
Traffic generation estimates must conform to the procedures of the current edition of Trip
Generation, by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). If an alternative X=
methodology is used, the basis for this methodology must be fully documented.
Increases in site traffic generation may be reduced for existing land uses to be removed, if
the existing use was operating during the ,year the traffic counts were collected. Current
traffic generation should be substantiated by actual driveway counts; however, if infeasible,
traffic may be estimated based on a methodology consistent with that used for the proposed
use.
Regional transportation impact analysis also requires consideration of trip lengths. Total
site traffic generation must therefore be divided into work and non -work-related trip
purposes in order to reflect observed trip length differences. Exhibit D-2 provides factors
which indicate trip purpose breakdowns for various land use types.
For lead agencies who also participate in CMP highway monitoring, it is recommended that
any traffic counts on CMP facilities needed to prepare the TIA should be done in the
manner outlined in Chapter 2 and Appendix A. If the TIA traffic counts are taken within
one year of the deadline for submittal of CMP highway monitoring data, the local
jurisdiction would save the cost of having to conduct the traffic counts twice.
D.7 TRIP DISTRIBUTION
For trip distribution by direct/manual assignment, generalized trip distribution factors are
provided in Exhibit D-3, based on regional modeling efforts. These factors indicate
Regional Statistical Area (RSA) -level tripmaking for work and non -work trip purposes.
2010 CoWslzon Management Program for Los Angeles Couutx
APPENoix D - GUIDELINES FOR CMP TRANspo TATIdhI IMPACT' ANALYSIS PAGE D-4
(These RSAs are illustrated in Exhibit D-4.) For locations where it is difficult to determine
the project site RSA, census tract/RSA correspondence tables are available from MTA.
Exhibit D-5 describes a general approach to applying the preceding factors. Project trip
distribution must be consistent with these trip distribution and purpose factors; the basis
for variation must be documented.
Local agency travel demand models disaggregated from the SCAG regional model are
presumed to conform to this requirement, as long as the trip distribution functions are
consistent with the regional distribution patterns. For retail commercial developments,
alternative trip distribution factors may be appropriate based on the market area for the
specific planned use. Such market area analysis must clearly identify the basis for the trip
distribution pattern expected.
D.$ IMPACT ANALYSIS
CMP Transportation Impact Analyses contain two separate impact studies covering
roadways and transit. Section Nos. D.8.1 -D.8.3 covet- required roadway analysis while
Section No. D.8.4 covers the required transit impact analysis. Section Nos. D.9.1 -D.9.4
define the requirement for discussion and evaluation of alternative mitigation measures.
D.8.1 Intersection Level of Service Analysis. The LA County CMP recognizes that
individual jurisdictions have wide ranging experience with LDS analysis, reflecting the 2
variety of community characteristics, traffic controls and street standards throughout the
county. As a result, the CMP acknowledges the possibility that no single set of
assumptions should be mandated for all TIAs within the county.
However, in order to promote consistency in the TIAs prepared by different jurisdictions,
CMP TIAs must conduct intersection LDS calculations using either of the following
methods:
❑ The Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method as specified for CMP highway
monitoring (see Appendix A); or
❑ The Critical Movement Analysis tCMA) Circular 212 method
Variation from the standard assumptions under either of these methods for circumstances
at particular intersections must be fully documented.
TIAs using the 1985 or 1994 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) operational analysis must
provide converted volume -to -capacity based LOS values, as specified for CMP highway
monitoring in Appendix A.
D.8.2 Arterial Segment Analysis. For TIAs involving arterial segment analysis, volume -to,
capacity ratios must be calculated for each segment and LOS values assigned using the V/
C -LOS equivalency specified for arterial intersections. A capacity of 840 vehicles per hour
per through traffic lane must be used, unless localized conditions necessitate alternative
values to approximate current intersection congestion levels.

587
APPENDix D -GUIDELINES FOR CMP TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS VAGE V-5
D.8.3 Freeway Segment (Mainline) Analysis. For the purpose of CMP TIAs, a simplified
analysis of freeway impacts is required. This analysis consists of a demand -to -capacity
calculation for the affected segments, and is indicated in Exhibit D -G.
D.8.4 Transit Impact Review. CMP transit analysis requirements are met by completing
and incorporating into an EIR the following transit impact analysis:
❑ Evidence that affected transit operators received the Notice of Preparation.
❑ A summary of existing transit services in the project area. Include local fixed -route
services within a I/ anile radius of the project; express bus routes within a 2 mile radius
of the project, and; rail service within a 2 mile radius of the project.
❑ Information on trip generation and mode assignment for both AM and PM peak hour
periods as well as for daily periods. Trips assigned to transit will also need to be
calculated for the same peak hour and daily periods. Peak hours are defined as 7.30-
930 AM and 4:30-5:30 PM. Both "peak hour" and "daily" refer to average weekdays,
unless special seasonal variations are expected. If expected, seasonal variations should
be described.
❑ Documentation of the assumption and analyses that were used to determine the
number and percent of trips assigned to transit. Trips assigned to transit may be
calculated along the following guidelines:
Multiply the total trips generated by 1.4 to convert vehicle trips to person trips;
For each tirne period, multiply the result by one of the following fartnrs:
3.5% of Total Person Trips Generated for most cases, except:
10% primarily Residential within 1/4 mile of a CMP transit center
15% primarily Commercial within 114 anile of a CMP transit center
7% primarily Residential within 1/4 mile of a CMP multi -anodal transportation
center
9% primarily Commercial within 1/4 mile of a CMP multi -modal transportation
center
5% primarily Residential within 1/4 mile of a CMP transit corridor
7°I primarily Commercial within 1/4 mile of a CMP transit corridor
0% if no fixed route transit services operate within one mile of the project
To determine whether a project is primarily residential or commercial in nature, please
refer to the CMP land use categories listed and defined in Appendix E, Guidelines for
New Development Activity Tracking azzd Self Certification. For projects that are only
partially within the above one-quarter mile radius, the base rate (3.5% of total trips
generated) should be applied to all of the project buildings that touch the radius
perimeter.
❑ Information on facilities and/or programs that will be incorporated in the development
plan that will encourage public transit use. Include not only the jurisdiction's TDM
Ordinance measures, but other project specific measures.
2010 Congestion Management Program for Los Angeles County

APPENDIx D -GUIDELINES FOR CMP TRANSPOWYATION IMPACT ANALYSIS PAGE D -G
❑ Analysis of expected project impacts on current and future transit services and proposed
project mitigation measures, and;
❑ Selection of final mitigation measures remains at the discretion of the local
jurisdiction lead agency. Once a mitigation program is selected, the jurisdiction self -
monitors implementation through the existing mitigation monitoring requirements of
CEQA.
D.9 IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF MITIGATION
D.9.1 Criteria for Determining a Significant Impact. For purposes of the CMP, a
significant impact occurs when the proposed project increases traffic demand on a CMP
facility by 2% of capacity (V JC ? 0.02), causing LOS F (V f C > 1.00); if the facility is already
at LOS F, a significant impact occurs when the proposed project increases traffic demand
on a CMP facility by 2% of capacity (V/C ? 0.02). The lead agency may apply a more
stringent criteria if desired.
D.9.2 Identification of Mitigation. Once the project has been determined to cause a
significant impact, the lead agency must investigate measures which will mitigate the
impact of the project. Mitigation measures proposed must clearly indicate the following:
❑ Cost estimates, indicating the fair share costs to mitigate the impact of the proposed
project. If the improvement from a proposed mitigation measure will exceed the impact 7-2
of the project, the TIA must indicate the proportion of total mitigation costs which is
attributable to the project. This fulfills the statutory requirement to exclude the costs of
mitigating inter -regional trips.
❑ Implementation responsibilities. Where the agency responsible for implementing
mitigation is not the lead agency, the TIA must document consultation with the
implementing agency regarding project impacts, mitigation feasibility and
responsibility.
Final selection of mitigation measures remains at the discretion of the lead agency. The
TIA must, however, provide a summary of impacts and mitigation measures. Once a
mitigation program is selected, the jurisdiction self -monitors implementation through the
mitigation monitoring requirements contained in CEQA.
D.9.3 Project Contribution to Planned Regional Improvements. If the TIA concludes that
project impacts will be mitigated by anticipated regional transportation improvenients,
such as rail transit or high occupancy vehicle facilities, the TIA must docurrient:
❑ Any project contribution to the improvement, and
❑ The means by which trips generated at the site will access the regional facility.
D.9.4 Transportation Demand Management (TDM). If the TIA concludes or assumes that
project impacts will be reduced through the implementation of TDM measures, the TIA
must document specific actions to be implemented by the project which substantiate these
conclusions.

Revisions to the DEIR text are presented below according to DEIR page, and, where appropriate,
paragraph.
SECTION 5.9, UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
DEIR page 5.9-13 is revised in the FEIR, as follows:
Wastewater Treatment. Wastewater originating from the Project site is treated at the JWPCP
located in the City of Carson. The facility, which has a design capacity of 400 MGD, provides
both primary and secondary treatment of approximately 253.4 MGD of wastewater.3
DEIR page 5.9-19 is revised in the FEIR, as follows:
According to the Districts, the Project's projected increase in average daily wastewater
generation beyond existing conditions is estimated at 7,705 gpd.4 The Districts' 24 -inch
diameter trunk sewer has a design capacity of 4.6 MGD and conveyed a peak flow of 0.6 MGD,
when last measured in 2011. The JWPCP is currently operating at approximately �t
65 percent capacity, based on a design capacity of 400 MGD and the current treatment of
approximately 253.4 MGD. Therefore, approximately `'^ 147 MGD of available
capacity exists at the JWPCP. The increase in wastewater generated by the Project
(approximately 7,705 gpd) represents approximately 0.0004 percent of the remaining capacity.
Thus, the proposed development would not exceed the available capacity at the JWPCP.
Therefore, adequate capacity exists to serve the Project's projected demand and Project
implementation would not require increases to the Districts truck sewer or in the JWPCP's
design capacities. Project implementation would not require or result in the construction of new
wastewater facilities or expansion of existing facilities beyond the construction of the new sewer
laterals located onsite. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard.
