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;

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;

RESOLUTION NO. 5170
PAGE 6 of 18
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
RESOLUTION NO. 5170
PAGE 7of18
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.

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
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.
RESOLUTION NO. 5170
PAGE 14 of 18
SECTION 3: 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
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
RESOLUTION NO. 5170
PAGE 15 of 18
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
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
RESOLUTION NO. 5170
PAGE 16 of 18
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.
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. 1592.

uality:
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 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.
Noise -
N -1 -
oise:
N-1: Before the City issues the grading permit, 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 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).
