WHEREAS, Black History Month affords special opportunity to become more
knowledgeable about black heritage, and to honor the many black
leaders who have contributed to the progress of our nation; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Woodson initiated Black History Week, February 12, 1926; and
for many years, the second week of February, chosen so as to coincide
with the birthdays of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, was
celebrated by African Americans in the United States; and
WHEREAS, in 1976, as part of the nation's bicentennial, Black History Week was
expanded and became established as Black History Month, and is now
celebrated all over North America; and
WHEREAS, such knowledge can strengthen the insight of all our citizens regarding
the issues of human rights, the great strides that have been made in the
crusade to eliminate the barriers of equality for minority groups, and
the continuing struggle against racial discrimination and unconscious
bias.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of El

Agenda Heading: Consent
TITLE:
Approve Examination Plans and Class Specifications for newly created Library Manager
and Cultural Arts Coordinator positions.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the proposed Examination Plans for the new Library Manager and Cultural
Arts Coordinator positions; and
2. Approve the proposed Class Specifications for Library Manager and Cultural Arts
Coordinator.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the proposed action was incorporated in the Adopted FY 2020-2021 Citywide
Budget. No new funding is needed for this fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
In response to the significant reduction in revenues and financial challenges experienced
due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the opportunity to improve
customer service delivery, customer experience, and operational efficiencies, the
Adopted FY 2020-2021 Budget approved by City Council on September 15, 2020
included an initial reorganization of certain departments, including establishment of a
Community Services Department that merged the Library Services Department and the
Recreation Division of the Recreation and Parks Department.
The City Council adopted a resolution and introduced an ordinance amending the El
Segundo Municipal Code to reflect related changes to the City's internal organization on
November 3, 2020. New reclassified positions included Director of Community Services,
Library Manager, and Cultural Arts Coordinator. A second reading of the ordinance was
approved on November 17, 2020, and changes to the Municipal Code became effective
on December 17, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
The Library Manager will oversee day-to-day operations of the Library division and help
coordinate library, arts, and culture activities with other City departments and outside
agencies. The position was established by upgrading a Senior Librarian position to Library
Manager. A promotional only exam will be used to fill the new position in March 2021.

Agenda Heading: Consent
TITLE:
Waive $50,000 in permitting fees and associated costs for outdoor dining areas.
RECOMMENDATION:
Waive $50,000 in permitting fees and associated costs to provide temporary barricades
for businesses to allow outdoor dining areas until December 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$23,000 has been appropriated in FY2020-2021. $27,000 will be required in the FY
2021-2022 budget.
Amount Budgeted: $0
Additional Appropriation: $23,000 has been appropriated in FY 2020-2021
Account Number: 106-400-4202-5202
BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION:
At the September 1, 2020, City Council meeting, staff updated City Council on the City's
business assistance in response to the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order
"Reopening Safer at Work and in the Community". The update sought Council's
concurrence to share ongoing costs with businesses associated with temporary
barricades used to provide outdoor dining opportunities in the public rights -of -way. As a
result, Council concurred that businesses issued temporary permits for street and parking
closures share 50-percent of the ongoing maintenance costs from January 1, 2021
through March 31, 2021 and 100-percent thereafter.
Many El Segundo restaurants spent hundreds or thousands of dollars to provide outdoor
dining to recoup some of the economic losses they incurred during shutdown. Thus, it
was staffs hope that L.A. County would continue to ease restrictions and open more of
the economy as the COVID pandemic subsided. However, since September 1st, L.A.
County has seen increases in COVID cases and related deaths, resulting in mandated
closures of what was initially allowed to reopen, including outdoor dining areas. This has
negatively impacted El Segundo restaurants and their revenue as they continue to
struggle to stay in business.
Fortunately, on January 29, 2021, L.A. County revised its Order to reopen segments of
the economy once again, including outdoor dining. To assist El Segundo's restaurants in
their reopening endeavors and minimize their costs, staff believes it is in the best interest
of the City and the local economy to suspend the cost sharing requirement. Thus, Staff
recommends the City continue to bear the ongoing barricade costs until end of 2021.

Agenda Heading: Staff Presentation
TITLE:
2020 Customer Satisfaction Survey
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the City's fourth annual customer satisfaction survey results that were
conducted with residents and businesses utilizing the Net Promoter Score (NPS)
methodology.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amount Budgeted: $20,000
Additional Appropriation: No
Account Number(s): 001-400-2102-6214
BACKGROUND:
During the FY 2016-17 Strategic Planning Sessions, City Council directed staff to look
into conducting two separate resident and business satisfaction surveys and align these
surveys with the concept of the Net Promoter Score (NPS). In continuation with this
direction and strategic work effort, this is the fourth consecutive year the NPS surveys
were conducted. The goal of this annual survey is to measure the City's customer service
performance, identify areas of success and areas that need improvement, and take the
necessary actions to continually improve.
Survey Methodology
The NPS provides the core measurement for customer experience. In order to calculate
the City's NPS, survey respondents are asked the following key NPS question (along with
other questions).
Resident Survey NPS Question:
On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on
your personal experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo to a
friend or family member considering moving to the area?
Business Survey NPS Question:
On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on
your companies experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo to
a business associate or colleague? 6

Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey
February 2, 2021
Page 2 of 6
Respondents are grouped as follows:
Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep engaging and refer others,
fueling possible growth.
Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable
to alternative offerings.
Detractors (score 0- 6) are unhappy customers who can damage a firm's and impede
growth through negative word-of-mouth.
Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the
"Net Promoter Score", which can range from a low of -100 (if every customer is a
Detractor) to a high of 100 (if every customer is a Promoter).
DISCUSSION:
Each year, staff reviews the survey results and takes actions to improve areas a concern.
Below is a summary of the purpose and objectives for both the residential and business
surveys, review of 2019 survey results and responsive actions taken, and 2020 survey
results.
Online surveys were sent via email to 4,978 business contacts and 2,579 residents. In
addition to online surveys, traditional paper surveys were sent via the US postal service
to 1,539 residents (properties/households) for whom email addresses were not available.
Residential Survey
This residential survey was conducted to assess resident satisfaction with City public
services. The objectives of the resident survey was as follows:
a Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes.
O Measure the City's image and general reputation.
a Record customer opinions as to how the City can better serve residents.
Assess the extent of customer loyalty based on the Net Promoter Score.
• Provide a framework to build integrated customer satisfaction.
Review of 2019 Survey Results and Actions Taken
The 2019 survey results identified two areas of concern for residents. The following are
examples of steps the City has taken to address the concerns raised:

Page 3 of 6
1. Enhanced Communications and Strategic Planning (Responsiveness and Vision
of City Council)
■ Held public strategic planning and budget sessions to obtain community
feedback.
■ Provided comprehensive communications during the coronavirus pandemic
including: daily live updates, bulletins to the community, town hall meetings,
development of COVID-19 webpages, and frequent public service
announcements.
■ Updated and continued to implement the City of El Segundo Strategic Plan.

website, and robust community outreach initiatives.
2. Improved Water and Wastewater Customer Service

functionality, including a secure pay -by -phone feature.
■ Improved process efficiencies and increased frequency of communication to
address customer concerns and questions in a timely manner.
2020 Resident Survey Results and Key Findings
A total of 88% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (63%) or "Passives" (25%). A
total of 12% are "Detractors". When comparing the results of the 2019 survey with this
year's results, the results remained consistent year over year. In 2019, the City earned a
52% NPS and in 2020 earned a 51 % NPS.
The percentage of Detractors decreased by 2% this year. The two areas of concern raised
in 2019 continued in 2020 due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00:
1. Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council (3.68)
2. Water and Sewer Billing Department Customer Service (3.87)
Detractors were most concerned about the cost of living and taxes. Detractors were
concerned about noise pollution, the airport, and the desire for a more resident -friendly
environment.
The survey also asked specific questions soliciting resident perceptions on particular
areas of City operations, including police, fire, recreation & parks, library services, City

infrastructure, utility billing, and City Council. These questions were scored on a
response scale of Very Dissatisfied (1), Dissatisfied (2), Neutral (3), Satisfied (4) or Very
Satisfied (5). The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of
Residents: (4.00 to 4.33):
■ Responsiveness, knowledge, and competency of fire & paramedic services (4.60)
e Maintenance and upkeep of recreation and parks facilities (4.32)
v Quality of recreation and parks programs offered (4.13)

BUSINESS SURVEY RESULTS
Purpose and Objectives

products and services. The study was designed to survey a cross-section of the City's
businesses. The survey and its measures were benchmarked to the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award, with the following specifics objectives:
® Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes.

businesses. The following are examples of the steps that the City has taken to address
concerns:

1. In process of implementing new software for improved customer service & new
website functionality.
Implemented new online forms and applications and processes on the new
website to provide easier to access documents and streamlined services.
■ Quickly pivoted during COVID-19 to work with businesses for temporary use

Department to share best practices, improve communications and overall
customer service experience.
2. Updated Zoning Codes to respond to customer needs.

more efficient use of land and permit outdoor amenities for commercial users.
■ In -lieu parking program for the Smoky Hollow district to allow more flexibility for
conversions and new development.
■ Completely revised regulations for the multi -family residential overlay that
removes obstacles to develop residential on the north fringe of the Smoky
Hollow district.
2020 Business Survey Results:
A total of 84% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (63%) or "Passives" (21 %). A
total of 16% are "Detractors". The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 47%, which is 7%
lower than last year. This is still a very good score given the fact that secondary research
suggests that cities using NIPS will score in the 23% to 28% range. In the first year of this
survey, the NPS was 32%.
This year's survey indicates two areas that represent concerns due to their mean scores
coming in below 4.00 as follows:
■ Business Development and Attraction Policies (3.78)
■ City Zoning Policies (3.64)
The primary concern among Detractors, though giving scores of 6 or less in terms of
likelihood to recommend El Segundo to other businesses owner focuses on supporting
small businesses. We all know, this past year, small businesses have been especially hit
hard by the impact of COVID-19.

The following areas continued to be viewed as modest strengths by the majority of the
businesses:
Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire Department & Field
Inspection services (4.22)
i Availability & Responsiveness of Police Department (4.26)
• Business License Renewal Process (4.31)
NEXT STEPS

surveys that scored below 4.0 and are considered NPS "Detractors" or areas of "Issues
and Opportunities". Staff will incorporate these actions into the City's FY 2020-21
Strategic Work Plan.

Ivey Findings
Methodology
Web surveys were conducted with Residents within the City of El Segundo. Respondents were selected from
the master survey list supplied by City of El Segundo. A final sample of customers was obtained. We sent 1,752
invitations, 72 were undeliverable, 4 opted out, for a total of 1,676 sent out. We had a 18% response rate or 310
total responses. Mail surveys were also sent out from the City of El Segundo offices. A total of 217 residents
responded via mail. A total of 527 residents responded to some portion of the survey. There were 521
responses to the Net Promoter Score question.
Results
As we have discussed in the past, Net Promoter Score is a tool to measure customer loyalty and the predictive
indicators for customer defection.
The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 51%. This is a respectable score given the fact that secondary research
indicates scores are typically lower for public institutions. When compared with the private sector, the score is
not much lower than the best companies who range between 60 and 75%.
When comparing the results of the 2019 survey with this year's results, the NPS dropped slightly by 1%. Last
year, the city earned a 52% NPS. The percentage of Detractors decreased by 2% this year however the
percentage of passives increased by 5%.
Targeted action plans should also be developed for select companies who make up the Detractor Residents.
The detailed responses will be provided as part of this report in a separate file. City Managers are encouraged to
examine this raw feedback in more detail.
When asked, "How much has the city improved over the last year?", 50% of the respondents indicated
they have experienced some improvement in the last year.

Key Findings
The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of Residents: (4.00 to 4.33)
• Maintenance and upkeep of Recreation and Parks facilities
• Quality of Recreation and Parks Program offered
• Availability and Responsiveness of Police Department
■ Resources and services provided by the Public Library
■ Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire & Paramedic services
Ideally, we would like all of these scores to rise to above 4.33, which would most likely occur if
some of the NPS issues with individual Residents were addressed.
There are three areas which represent an Issue & Opportunity due to their mean scores coming in
below 4.00:
• Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council
• Condition of City Infrastructure: streets, sidewalks and public facilities
• Water and Sewer Billing Department Customer Service (complaint handling & responsiveness)
Detractors were most concerned cost of living and taxes. To a lesser extent, Detractors are
concerned about noise pollution and the airport and the desire for a more resident -friendly
environment.

Net Promoter Score
Promoters 63% -12% Detractors = NPS of 51%
A Net Promoter Score of 51% is very respectable given that secondary
research suggests that cities using NPS will score in the range of 23 to
28%. The NPS score declined by 1 % from last year, which is negligible.
When comparing the results of the 2019 survey with this year's results,
the numbers hardly changed. Last year, the city earned a 52% NPS. The
� Promoters percentage of Promoters declined only by 2%.
Passives City of El Segundo needs to develop plans to address some of the
�Dehactors concerns of the Resident Detractors (Those giving scores of 6 or less).
� NPS
Some effort should also be made to address some of the concerns of
the Passives (scores of 7 & 8).
The comments of the individual Detractors and Passives provide
specific guidance.
Each comment should be reviewed independently. NPS is a customer
centric process; meaning that action plans address individual customer
concerns. It is important that each of these Residents are contacted for
follow-up and attempts made to address their concerns.

Results
As we have discussed in the past, Net Promoter Score is a tool to measure customer loyalty and the
predictive indicators for customer defection. In case study after case study, companies with higher
NPS scores are generally more profitable than their competition.
The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 47%, which is 7% lower than last year. This is still a very
good score given the fact that secondary research indicates scores are typically lower for public
institutions.
The primary concern among Detractors, though giving scores of 6 or less in terms of likelihood to
recommend El Segundo to other business owners focuses on the issues related to Supporting Small
Businesses. We all know, this past year, small businesses have been especially hurt by the impact of
the Coronavirus.

Three survey attributes scored less than 4.00. Further investigation into the root causes behind
these performance numbers is warranted. Opportunities for improvement include:
• Business Development and Attraction policies
• Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of working with the Planning and Building

• Business License Renewal Process
The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of businesses: (4.00 to 4.33)

Satisfaction was then assessed by asking respondents to rate, on a 5-point scale, how satisfied they were
with City of El Segundo on each attribute.

A Net Promoter Score of 47% is very good score given that secondary
research suggests that cities using NPS will score in the range of 23 to
28%. The NPS score of 47% represents a 7% decrease from last year
and is equal to the score of 2018.
The City of El Segundo needs to develop plans to address some of the
concerns of the Business Detractors (those giving scores of 6 or less).
There are 26 comments among the detractors. Each comment should
be reviewed independently. NPS is a customer centric process; meaning
that action plans address individual customer concerns. It is important
that each of these businesses are contacted for follow-up and attempts
made to address their concerns.
In general, Detractors primary concern appears to be related to Small
Business support. When we look at two of the survey attributes with
the lowest scores they are:
■ Business Development and Attraction policies
• City Zoning Policies
It is possible these issues are also somewhat related to the concerns of
small businesses.

E L S E GU N D O City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: February 2, 2021
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentation
TITLE:
City Broadband Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and File City Broadband Update
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
Through analysis of the available broadband infrastructure in El Segundo and discussions
with service providers, the city lacks the fiber distribution technology utilized to deliver
fiber to the premises. There are vast amounts of fiber infrastructure throughout the greater
El Segundo area, Los Angeles, and southern California, but the direct residential and
retail use of this infrastructure is restricted as most are limited to the available "last mile"
connections.
There is limited access to the higher capacity digital highways that delivers broadband
into the community. Once digital traffic is off regional fiber-optic networks and into the
community, almost all El Segundo customer connections are facilitated across legacy
networks of copper telephone wire and coaxial cable. As a result, speed and quality of
service in different parts of the city vary considerably based on DSL limitations and
copper -based oversubscription. The cost to access adequate broadband is a stated
deterrent for meaningful business adoption. El Segundo is a city of edges and corridors
that effectively separate the broadband haves from the have nots.
Through a process of identifying community needs, engaging stakeholders, designing the
network, determining the right business models and public -private partnerships, to
sourcing funds, we will discuss various options to determine the best path forward to
implementing and managing broadband offerings.
Community broadband projects are challenging, they are multi -faceted projects that
involve many stakeholders, public organizations and private broadband providers. To that
end, there is no simple solution.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the City's annual Legislative Platform is to represent the official City positions on
proposed regional, state, and federal legislation. The Legislative Platform is aligned with the City's
five Strategic Goals that focus on providing the highest level of service to the City's residents and
businesses.
The Legislative Platform provides clear direction to the City Manager to respond and take action quickly,
under the direction of City Council, as initiatives that impact the City are considered at the regional,
state, and federal levels. The City Manager shall coordinate the monitoring of legislative issues that
impact the City and ensure that the City takes a position on all applicable proposed regional, state-wide,
and national legislation, regulation, and related matters.
The Legislative Affairs Manager will update the Legislative Platform throughout the year at the direction
of the City Manager, as necessary, to address and prioritize new issues as they relate to the City or the
region. The Legislative Platform does not preclude City Council consideration of additional legislative
and regulatory matters arising throughout the year. As necessary, Staff will solicit City Council
authorization to amend the Legislative Platform to include items not included in the existing Legislative
Platform.
For proposed legislation, either consistent with the City's Legislative Platform or consistent with
legislative positions the City has taken in the past, City Staff shall be authorized to prepare position
letters for the Mayor's signature. Items not addressed in the City's Legislative Platform may require
further Council direction. Legislative priorities may only address issues directly relevant to or impacting
the provision of municipal services. Generally, the City will not address matters that are not pertinent to
the City's local government services such as international issues.
City departments are encouraged to monitor and be knowledgeable of any legislative issues related to
their discipline. However, requests for the City to take positions on a legislative matter must be directed
to the City Manager's Office. City departments may not take positions on legislative issues without City
Manager's Office review and approval.
The City's primary legislative focus includes protecting local government control, maintaining local
government revenue, pursuing public security funding, obtaining funding for environmental sustainability,
transportation, recreational, technology and public infrastructure improvements.

E L S E GU N D O City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: February 2, 2021
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
TITLE:
2020 Economic Development Annual Report summarizing the key accomplishments of
the City's economic development division.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file 2020 Economic Development Annual Report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
Faced with the coronavirus pandemic and a challenging economic climate, El Segundo
businesses experienced significant changes in 2020. Local retailers had to dramatically
reduce in-store capacity and ramp up online capabilities, restaurants shifted rapidly to
outdoor dining and at some points, takeout -only, hotel occupancy was reduced by nearly
50% due to travel restrictions, and commercial offices grappled with the transition to a
remote work environment.
To meet this moment of upheaval, the City's economic development team, rapidly
reshaped its well -planned economic development strategy in 2020 to focus on supporting
businesses to reopen, sustain, and in some cases expand operations during the
pandemic, with an emphasis on attracting new businesses and supporting the hospitality
and retail industry in their resiliency and ability to pivot as they navigate transformational
change during the pandemic.
Economic Development Annual Report 2020 presents the team's dedicated efforts to
become an essential resource for El Segundo's business community during this critical
time. At the onset of the pandemic, the City hosted a Downtown Business Virtual Town
Hall and invited businesses to discuss a path forward to support the economic vitality of
Downtown. Staff immediately set up webpages on ElSegundoBusiness.com providing
businesses with critical updates and COVID-19 related information — everything from
available relief funding to guides on the latest protocols and industry -specific guidance.
The team assisted restaurants by promoting the Chamber of Commerce -led Gundo-to-
Go program and provided signage and designated parking spaces to encourage take-out
orders. The City quickly launched a street -closure pilot program to provide outdoor dining
space.
As a core component of the City's economic development program, staff focused
resources on strategic initiatives to attract, retain and grow new businesses, and create

jobs in El Segundo with an emphasis on industry diversification. El Segundo saw notable
expansions among key employers, including digital media company, Prodege, LLC. and
FAA -approved aircraft manufacturer, Herber Aircraft Service, Inc. in 2020, as well as an
impressive feat within the biotech sector with the FDA approval of ImmunityBio's COVID-
19 vaccine trial.
A comprehensive economic recovery program was launched — El Segundo Back to
Business. Under the program, new initiatives were created to obtain ideas, input and
feedback utilized to shape a framework for economic recovery and business assistance
efforts. The economic development team also launched the
Reimagine•Reopen•Rediscover campaign as part of the City's hospitality and tourism
marketing and advertising initiatives to support hospitality and retail businesses reopen
and stay open.

CITY OF
E L,S E GU N D O City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: February 2, 2021
Agenda Heading: Council Report.
TITLE:
Resolution opposing proposed housing legislation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution opposing proposed Senate Bill 9 (Atkins) and Senate Bill 10 (Weiner).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The California Alliance of Local Electeds (CALE), a network of mayors, councilmembers,
and other elected officials who advocate in Sacramento on significant issues including
the preservation of local control are asking city leaders across the state to adopt
resolutions opposing SB 9 and SB 10.
The City of El Segundo seeks to adopt a resolution to support CALE's call to action and
send a strong message to legislators.
The legislature of the State of California has proposed several bills addressing housing
and local zoning issues that could potentially preempt the City's local control over land
use and zoning issues.
During the 2020 legislative session, the El Segundo City Council opposed Senate Bill
1120 and Senate Bill 902 seeking to threaten and erode local control. These bills have
been reintroduced by the same authors as SB 9 (Atkins) and SB 10 (Weiner).
SB 9 would allow for duplexes and lot splits in single-family residential zones to be allowed
by right. This was previously SB 1120.
SB 10 would authorize a local government to pass an ordinance, notwithstanding any
local restrictions on adopting zoning ordinances to allow for up to 10-unit apartment
buildings using a streamlined, expedited process. This bill was previously SB 902.
DISCUSSION:
The resolution aligns with the City of El Segundo's Legislative Platform that strongly
opposes state and federal legislation that seeks to preempt the City's local authority.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED
HOUSING LEGISLATION SENATE BILLS 9 AND 10 AND
EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR ACTION TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN
LOCAL DEMOCRACY, AUTHORITY AND CONTROL.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California, has proposed a number of bills
addressing a range of housing issues;
WHEREAS, pending before the State legislature is Senate Bill 9 (Atkins), which if
enacted into law would require cities and counties, including charter cities, to provide for
the ministerial ('by right') approval of a housing development containing two residential
units (a duplex), and a parcel map dividing a lot in to two equal parts ('lot split'), for
residential use;
WHEREAS, SB 9, if enacted into law, would eliminate public hearings before the
Planning Commission and City Council and public notice of such projects, inasmuch as
the proposed projects would only require administrative review;
WHEREAS, SB 9 also proposes to provide ministerial approval of a parcel map (four or
less parcels) for a lot split, and thereby amend sections of the Subdivision Map Act by
extending from 12 to 24 months the additional time period of an approved or
conditionally approved Tentative Map;
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 10 (Weiner) would, notwithstanding any local resrictions on
adopting zoning ordinances, authorize a local government to pass an ordinance to zone
any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel and threatens to decimate
the City's single-family neighborhoods;
WHEREAS, SB 10 does not address some critical issues that have caused and
exacerbated the housing crisis, the state's 1995 Costa Hawkins law, which restricts the
ability of a local jurisdiction to expand affordability measures in rental units, and the
prevalence of privately -owned vacant lots and housing units;
WHEREAS, SB 10 projects have the potential to attract high -income people who do not
necessarily use public transportation into newer luxury buildings adjacent to transit,
bringing in more cars while providing insufficient parking;
WHEREAS, these bills usurp the authority of the City to determine for itself the land use
policies and practices that best suit the City and its residents and instead impose
mandates that do not take into account the needs and differences of jurisdictions
throughout the State, as well as imposing unfunded mandates on jurisdictions for
actions that are not in their best interests;
Page 1 of 2
138
WHEREAS, for example, the ability of the City to determine for itself which projects
require review beyond a ministerial approval, what parking requirements are appropriate
for various locales within their jurisdiction, what plans and programs are suitable and
practical for each community rather than having these decisions imposed upon the City
without regard to the City's circumstances is a matter of great importance to the City of
EI Segundo, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Segundo feels strongly that our local
government is best able to assess the needs of our community and objects to the
proliferation of State legislation that deprives the City of that ability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Segundo:
SECTION 1: The City Council hereby registers its strong opposition to the following bills
that usurp local control:
■ SB 9 (Atkins) — Housing development: approvals
■ SB 10 (Weiner) — Planning and zoning: housing development: density
The City Council hereby registers its equally strong opposition to the current practice of
the State legislature of proposing and passing multitudes of bills that directly impact and
interfere with the ability of Cities to control their own destiny through the use of the
zoning authority that has been granted to them; and

SENATE BILL No. 9
Introduced by Senators Atkins, Caballero, Rubio, and Wiener
(Coauthors: Senators Gonzalez and McGuire)
(Coauthor: Assembly Member Robert Rivas)
December 7, 2020
An act to amend Section 66452.6 of, and to add Sections 65852.21
and 66411.7 to, the Government Code, relating to land use.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
S13 9, as introduced, Atkins. Housing development: approvals.
The Planning and Zoning Law provides for the creation of accessory
dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted
an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified
standards and conditions.
This bill, among other things, would require a proposed housing
development containing 2 residential units within a single-family
residential zone to be considered ministerially, without discretionary
review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain
requirements, including, but not limited to, that the proposed housing
development would not require demolition or alteration of housing that
is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents
to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very
low income, that the proposed housing development does not allow for
the demolition of more than 25% of the existing exterior structural
walls, except as provided, and that the development is not located within
a historic district, is not included on the State Historic Resources
Inventory, or is not within a site that is legally designated or listed as
a city or county landmark or historic property or district.
The bill would set forth what a local agency can and cannot require
in approving the construction of 2 residential units, including, but not
99
141
SB 9
limited to, authorizing a city or county to impose objective zoning
standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design
standards, as defined, unless those standards would have the effect of
physically precluding the construction of up to 2 units, prohibiting the
imposition of setback requirements under certain circumstances, and
setting maximum setback requirements under all other circumstances.
The Subdivision Map Act vests the authority to regulate and control
the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of
a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency's
processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing
of tentative, final, and parcel maps, and the modification of those maps.
Under the Subdivision Map Act, an approved or conditionally approved
tentative snap expires 24 months after its approval or conditional
approval or after any additional period of time as prescribed by local
ordinance, not to exceed an additional 12 months, except as provided.
This bill, among other things, would require a city or county to
ministerially approve a parcel snap or tentative and final map for an
urban lot split that meets certain requirements, including, but not limited
to, that the urban lot split would not require the demolition or alteration
of housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that
restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate,
low, or very low income, that the parcel is located within a residential
zone, and that the parcel is not located within a historic district, is not
included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, or is not within a
site that is legally designated or listed as a city or county landmark or
historic property or district.
The bill would set forth what a local agency can and cannot require
in approving an urban lot split, including, but not limited to, authorizing
a city or county to impose objective zoning standards, objective
subdivision standards, and objective design standards, as defined, unless
those standards would have the effect of physically precluding the
construction of 2 units on either of the resulting parcels, prohibiting the
imposition of setback requirements under certain circumstances, and
setting maximum setback requirements under all other circumstances.
The bill would also extend the limit on the additional period that may
be provided by ordinance, as described above, from 12 months to 24
months and would make other conforming or nonsubstantive changes.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead
agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the
completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it
99
142
SB 9
proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on
the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial
projects.
This bill, by establishing the ministerial review processes described
above, would thereby exempt the approval of projects subject to those
processes from CEQA.
The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and
regulation of development, under a coastal development permit process,
within the coastal zone, as defined, that shall be based on various coastal
resources planning and management policies set forth in the act.
This bill would exempt a local government from being required to
hold public hearings for coastal development permit applications for
housing developments and urban lot splits pursuant to the above
provisions.
By increasing the duties of local agencies with respect to land use
regulations, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program.
The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill
address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair
and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State -mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
1 SECTION 1. Section 65852.21 is added to the Government
2 Code, to read:

18 property boundaries of the tentative map, excluding improvements
19 of public rights-of-wayeh that abut the boundary of the
20 property to be subdivided and—ffhieh that are reasonably related
21 to the development of that property, each filing of a final map
22 authorized by Section 66456.1 shall extend the expiration of the
23 approved or conditionally approved tentative snap by3.6 48 months
24 from the date of its expiration, as provided in this section, or the
25 date of the previously filed final map, whichever is later. The
26 extensions shall not extend the tentative map more than 10 years
27 from its approval or conditional approval. However, a tentative
28 map on property subject to a development agreement authorized
29 by Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 65864) of Chapter 4 of
30 Division 1 may be extended for the period of time provided for in
31 the agreement, but not beyond the duration of the agreement. The
32 number of phased final maps that may be filed shall be determined
33 by the advisory agency at the time of the approval or conditional
34 approval of the tentative map.
35 (2) Commencing January 1, 2012, and each calendar year
36 thereafter, the amount of two hundred thirty-six thousand seven
37 hundred ninety dollars ($236,790) shall be annually increased by

150
-11— SB9
1 date of each annual adjustment shall be March 1. The adjusted
2 amount shall apply to tentative and vesting tentative snaps whose
3 applications were received after the effective date of the
4 adjustment.
5 (3) "Public improvements," as used in this subdivision, include
6 traffic controls, streets, roads, highways, freeways, bridges,
7 overcrossings, street interchanges, flood control or stonn drain
8 facilities, sewer facilities, water facilities, and lighting facilities.
9 (b) (1) The period of time specified in subdivision (a), including

15 (2) The length of time specified in paragraph (1) shall be
16 extended for up to three years, but in no event beyond January 1,
17 1992, during the pendency of any lawsuit in which the subdivider
18 asserts, and the local agency ._� that approved or conditionally
19 approved the tentative map denies, the existence or application of
20 a development moratorium to the tentative map.
21 (3) Once a development moratorium is terminated, the map
22 shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the
23 snap at the time that the moratorium was imposed. However, if the
24 remaining time is less than 120 days, the map shall be valid for
25 120 days following the termination of the moratorium.
26 (c) The period of time specified in subdivision (a), including
27 any extension thereof granted pursuant to subdivision (e), shall
28 not include the period of time during which a lawsuit involving
29 the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map is or was
30 pending in a court of competent jurisdiction, if the stay of the time
31 period is approved by the local agency pursuant to this section.
32 After service of the initial petition or complaint in the lawsuit upon
33 the local agency, the subdivider may apply to the local agency for
34 a stay pursuant to the local agency's adopted procedures. Within
35 40 days after receiving the application, the local agency shall either
36 stay the time period for up to five years or deny the requested stay.
37 The local agency may, by ordinance, establish procedures for
38 reviewing the requests, including, but not limited to, notice and
39 hearing requirements, appeal procedures, and other administrative
40 requirements.

SB 9 —12
1 (d) The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved
2 tentative map shall terminate all proceedings and no final map or
3 parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within
4 the tentative map shall be filed with the legislative body without
5 first processing a new tentative map. Once a timely filing is made,
6 subsequent actions of the local agency, including, but not limited
7 to, processing, approving, and recording, may lawfully occur after
8 the date of expiration of the tentative snap. Delivery to the county
9 surveyor or city engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for
10 purposes of this section.
11 (e) Upon application of the subdivider filed to before the
12 expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative
13 map, the time at which the snap expires pursuant to subdivision
14 (a) may be extended by the legislative body or by an advisory
15 agency authorized to approve or conditionally approve tentative
16 maps for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years. The
17 period of extension specified in this subdivision shall be in addition
18 to the period of time provided by subdivision (a). Prior to Before
19 the expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative
20 map, upon an application by the subdivider to extend that map,
21 the map shall automatically be extended for 60 days or until the
22 application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved,
23 or denied, whichever occurs first. If the advisory agency denies a
24 subdivider's application for an extension, the subdivider may
25 appeal to the legislative body within 15 days after the advisory
26 agency has denied the extension.
27 (f) For purposes of this section, a development moratorium
28 includes a water or sewer moratorium, or a water and sewer
29 moratorium, as well as other actions of public agencies whieh that
30 regulate land use, development, or the provision of services to the
31 land, including the public agency with the authority to approve or
32 conditionally approve the tentative map, which thereafter prevents,
33 prohibits, or delays the approval of a final or parcel snap. A
34 development moratorium shall also be deemed to exist for purposes
35 of this section for any period of time during which a condition
36 imposed by the city or county could not be satisfied because of
37 either of the following:
38 (1) The condition was one that, by its nature, necessitated action
39 by the city or county, and the city or county either did not take the
40 necessary action or by its own action or inaction was prevented or

of the tentative map.
(2) The condition necessitates acquisition of real property or
any interest in real property from a public agency, other than the
city or county that approved or conditionally approved the tentative
map, and that other public agency fails or refuses to convey the
property interest necessary to satisfy the condition. However,
nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require any public
agency to convey any interest in real property owned by it. A
development moratorium specified in this paragraph shall be
deemed to have been imposed either on the date of approval or
conditional approval of the tentative map, if evidence was included
in the public record that the public agency whieh that owns or
controls the real property or any interest therein may refuse to
convey that property or interest, or on the date that the public
agency that owns or controls the real property or any interest
therein receives an offer by the subdivider to purchase that property
or interest for fair market value, whichever is later. A development
moratorium specified in this paragraph shall extend the tentative
map up to the maximum period as set forth in subdivision (b), but
not later than January 1, 1992, so long as the public agency whieh
that owns or controls the real property or any interest therein fails
or refuses to convey the necessary property interest, regardless of
the reason for the failure or refusal, except that the development
moratorium shall be deemed to terminate 60 days after the public
agency has officially made, and communicated to the subdivider,
a written offer or commitment binding on the agency to convey
the necessary property interest for a fair market value, paid in a
reasonable time and manner.

SENATE BILL No. 10
Introduced by Senator Wiener
(Principal coauthors: Senators Atkins and Caballero)
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Robert Rivas)
December 7, 2020
An act to add Section 65913.5 to the Government Code, relating to
land use.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 10, as introduced, Wiener. Planning and zoning: housing
development: density.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a
general plan for land use development within its boundaries that
includes, among other things, a housing element. Existing law requires
an attached housing development to be a permitted use, not subject to
a conditional use permit, on any parcel zoned for multifamily housing
if at least certain percentages of the units are available at affordable
housing costs to very low income, lower income, and moderate -income
households for at least 30 years and if the project meets specified
conditions relating to location and being subject to a discretionary
decision other than a conditional use permit. Existing law provides for
various incentives intended to facilitate and expedite the construction
of affordable housing.
This bill would, notwithstanding any local restrictions on adopting
zoning ordinances, authorize a local government to pass an ordinance
to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel,
at a height specified in the ordinance, if the parcel is located in a
transit -rich area, a jobs -rich area, or an urban infill site, as those terms
are defined. In this regard, the bill would require the Department of
Housing and Community Development, in consultation with the Office
99
155
SB 10
of Planning and Research, to determine jobs -rich areas and publish a
map of those areas every 5 years, commencing January 1, 2022, based
on specified criteria. The bill would specify that an ordinance adopted
under these provisions is not a project for purposes of the California
Environmental Quality Act. The bill would prohibit a residential or
mixed -use residential project consisting of 10 or more units that is
located on a parcel rezoned pursuant to these provisions from being
approved ministerially or by right.
This bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill
address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair
and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State -mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
1 SECTION 1. Section 65913.5 is added to the Government
2 Code, to read:
3 65913.5. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any local restrictions on

7 government may pass an ordinance to zone a parcel for up to 10
8 units of residential density per parcel, at a height specified by the
9 local government in the ordinance, if the parcel is located in one
10 of the following:
11 (A) A transit -rich area.
12 (B) A jobs -rich area.
13 (C) An urban infill site.
