Parking and Loading Spaces) of the El Segundo Municipal Code by adding a new
Section regarding parking requirements for Religious Institution Affiliated Housing
(Environmental Assessment No. EA-1302 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 21-
02).
Environmental Determination: The proposed zone text amendment is exempt from
environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 because it consists
only of minor alterations in land use limitations necessary to implement a state law
mandate (AB 1851) and does not portend new development. Further, it can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a
significant effect on the environment; and is, therefore, exempt from CEQA review
under 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2896, recommending that the
City Council approve an Ordinance establishing parking standards for religious
institution affiliated housing development projects in accordance with state law.

Improvement Program (CIP) with the City of El Segundo General Plan. (LX)
Consideration and possible action regarding adoption of a resolution finding that
the Proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is
consistent with the City of El Segundo General Plan
Applicant: City of El Segundo
Project Description: Determination of Consistency of the Proposed Fiscal Year
2021-2022 Capital Improvement Program with the City of El Segundo General
Plan.
Environmental Determination: General Plan Consistency Finding is deemed not
to be a "project" as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines § 15378(b)(4) since the Planning Commission is reviewing the City's
Capital Improvements Program for its conformance with the City's General Plan,
and a decision on individual projects in the CIP is not being made by the Planning
Commission. The consistency finding is therefore exempt from further review
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2899, determining that the
proposed FY 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is consistent with the
City of El Segundo General Plan.

Meeting Date: July 8, 2021
Agenda Heading: Continued Public Hearing
DESCRIPTION:
Zone Text Amendment to establish parking standards for religious institution affiliated
housing development projects in accordance with state law.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2896, recommending that the City Council approve an Ordinance
establishing parking standards for religious institution affiliated housing development
projects in accordance with state law.
BACKGROUND
AB 1851, effective January 1, 2021, limits the number of parking spaces a local agency
may require in connection with a "religious institution affiliated housing development
project" ("RIAHD"), as defined. AB 1851 also requires a local agency to allow for the
elimination of up to 50% of the existing parking spaces serving a place of worship in
connection with the approval of a RIAHD and prohibits a local agency from requiring
replacement of parking spaces that the developer of a RIAHD proposes to eliminate. A
Zoning Ordinance amendment is required to bring the Municipal Code into conformance
with state law.
DISCUSSION
Properties owned by religious institutions often have large, underutilized parking areas.
To encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing on these underutilized
parcels, the state passed AB 1851, which does the following:
• Prohibits a local agency from requiring the replacement of religious -use parking
spaces that a developer of a "religious institution affiliated housing development
project" proposes to eliminate as part of the housing development.
• Defines "religious institution affiliated housing development project" as a housing
development project that meets all of the following requirements:
o The housing development project is located on one or more contiguous
parcels that are each owned, entirely, whether directly or through a wholly
owned company or corporation, by a religious institution.
o The housing development project qualifies as being near collocated
religious -use parking by being on or adjacent to a parcel with religious -use
EA-1302 and ZTA 21-02
July 8, 2021
Page 2of3
parking or by being located within one -tenth of a mile of a parcel that
contains religious -use parking.
o Qualifies for a density bonus under Government Code section 65915.
• Allows a project developer to eliminate up to 50 percent of the total religious -use
parking spaces available at the time the developer's request is made.
• Prevents a local agency from requiring a developer to cure a pre-existing deficit of
the number of religious -use parking spaces as a condition of approval of a RIAHD.
• Specifies that the elimination of religious -use parking spaces pursuant to a RIAHD
project that has been approved by a local agency does not constitute a concession
for the purposes of density bonus law.
• Prohibits a local agency from denying a RIAHD solely on the basis that the project
will reduce the total number of parking spaces at the place of worship as long as
the reduction does not exceed 50 percent.
• Requires a local agency to allow the number of remaining religious -use parking
spaces to count toward the number of spaces that the local agency would
otherwise require for the RIAHD.
• Provides that a local agency is not required to allow the remaining religious -use
parking spaces to count toward the number of parking spaces otherwise required
for approval of the RIAHD to the extent that it would prohibit a local agency from
requiring up to one parking space per unit unless the RIAHD is within one-half mile
of public transit or there is a car share vehicle within one block of the parcel.
• Prohibits the reduction in parking spaces from reducing the minimum parking
standards that a local agency may require of a RIAHD below one space per unit
unless (a) the RIAHD is within one-half mile of a high -quality transit corridor or a
major transit stop, or (b) there is a car share vehicle within one block of the parcel.
ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance amends the parking regulations in Chapter 15-15 to specify that
RIAHDs are subject to the provisions of AB 1851.
El Segundo General Plan and Municipal Code Consistency
The proposed amendment to the Zoning Code will further the goals, objectives, and
policies of the General Plan and will not obstruct their attainment. The amendment is
relatively minor in nature and is intended to bring the Zoning Code into compliance with
a new state law mandate (AB 1851). The proposed amendment is also consistent with
EA-1342 and ZTA 21-02
July 8, 2621

the purpose of the Zoning Code, which is to serve the public health* safety, and general
welfare.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and 14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15305 because it consists only of minor alterations in land use limitations
necessary to implement a state law mandate (AB 1851) and does not portend new
development. Furthermore, staff finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
Consequently, it is exempt from CEQA review under 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3).

Assembly Bill No. 1851
CHAPTER 196
An act to add Section 65913.6 to the Government Code, relating to land
use.
[Approved by Governor September 28, 2020. Filed with
Secretary of State September 28, 2020.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1851, Wicks. Religious institution affiliated housing development
projects: parking requirements.
Existing law provides for various incentives intended to facilitate and
expedite the construction of affordable housing, including the Density Bonus
Law, which requires, when an applicant proposes a housing development
within the jurisdiction of a local government, that the city, county, or city
and county provide the developer with a density bonus and other incentives
or concessions for the production of lower income housing units or for the
donation of land within the development if the developer, among other
things, agrees to construct a specified percentage of units for very low, low-,
or moderate -income households or qualifying residents.
This bill would prohibit a local agency from requiring the replacement
of religious -use parking spaces that a developer of a religious institution
affiliated housing development project proposes to eliminate as part of that
housing development project. The bill would prohibit the number of
religious -use parking spaces requested to be eliminated from exceeding
50% of the number that are available at the time the request is made. The
bill would prohibit a local agency from requiring the curing of any
preexisting deficit of the number of religious -use parking spaces as a
condition of approval of a religious institution affiliated housing development
project. The bill would require a local agency to allow the number of
religious -use parking spaces that will be available after completion of a
religious institution affiliated housing development project to count toward
the number of parking spaces otherwise required for approval. The bill
would prohibit a local agency from denying a housing development project
proposed by a religious institution, or a developer working with a religious
institution, solely on the basis that the project will reduce the total number
of parking spaces available at the place of worship provided that the total
reduction does not exceed 50% of existing parking spaces. The bill would
authorize a local agency to require up to one parking space per unit for a
religious institution affiliated housing development project. The bill would
include findings that the 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.
94
Ch. 196 —2
By adding to the duties of local planning officials, this bill would impose
a state -mandated local program.
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.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 65913.6 is added to the Government Code, to read:
65913.6. (a) For purposes of this section, all of the following definitions
shall apply:
(1) "Housing development project" means a housing development project
as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5.

a charter city, or city and county.
(3) "Place of worship" means a property owned or operated by a religious
institution, that is used for the purpose of regular assembly by members of
the institution.

2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code.
(5) "Religious institution affiliated housing development project" means
a housing development project that meets all of the following criteria:
(A) The housing development project is located on one or more
contiguous parcels that are each owned entirely, whether directly or through
a wholly owned company or corporation, by a religious institution.
(B) The housing development project qualifies as being near colocated
religious -use parking by being any of the following:
(i) Located on one or more parcels that collectively contain religious -use
parking.

of a religious institution affiliated housing development project proposes
to eliminate as part of that housing development project pursuant to this
section.
(2) The number of religious -use parking spaces requested to be eliminated
by a developer of a religious institution affiliated housing development
project pursuant to this section shall not exceed 50 percent of the number
of religious -use parking spaces that are available at the time the request is
made.
(3) The elimination of religious -use parking spaces pursuant to a religious
institution affiliated housing development project that has been approved

(c) Notwithstanding any other law or ordinance, a local agency shall not
require the curing of any preexisting deficit of the number of religious -use
parking spaces as a condition of approval of a religious institution affiliated
housing development project.

to count toward the number of parking spaces otherwise required for approval
of the housing development project under any other law or ordinance.
(e) Notwithstanding any other law or ordinance, a local agency shall not
deny a proposed religious institution affiliated housing development project
solely on the basis that the project will reduce the total number of parking
spaces available at the place of worship provided that the total reduction
does not exceed 50 percent of existing parking spaces.
(f) (1) Notwithstanding any provision of this section, except as provided
in paragraph (3), the reduction in parking spaces authorized in this section
shall not reduce the minimum parking standards that a local agency may
require of a religious institution affiliated housing development project

(2) For the purposes of this subdivision, a local agency shall not be
required to allow the remaining religious -use parking spaces to count toward

Meeting Date: July 8, 2021
Agenda Heading: New Public Hearing
TITLE:
Design review for a new development involving three adjoining lots in the 200 block of the
Richmond Street District within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) zone at 201-209
Richmond Street, consisting of four residential units, 14,000 square feet of commercial
use area, and 64 parking spaces. (Environmental Assessment No. EA-1299, Downtown
Design Review No. DDR 21-01, and Parking Adjustment No. ADJ 21-01)
Applicant: Mark Telesz on behalf of Smoky Hollow Industries, LLC
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2897, conditionally approving Environmental Assessment No. EA-
1299, Downtown Design Review No. DDR 21-01 and Parking Adjustment No. ADJ 21-
01.
BACKGROUND
On January 12, 2021, applications for Environmental Assessment No. EA-1299,
Downtown Design Review No. DDR No. 21-01, and Parking Adjustment No. 21-01 were
submitted to the Development Services Department. The project applications and plans
were circulated to all City departments for comments and feedback, and no objections to
the proposed project were received.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is generally located at 201-209 Richmond Street, at the northwest corner
of Franklin Avenue and Richmond Street. As illustrated in Figure 1 below, the project site
is comprised of three lots, cumulatively measuring 17,500 square feet. The corner lot (at
201-205 Richmond Street) measures 10,500 square feet and is currently improved with
the former Jail House, a 948 square -foot brick building. The middle lot (at 207 Richmond
Street) measures 3,500 square feet and is currently developed with a 4,000 square -foot
two-story brick building. The third lot (farthest from the corner) measures 3,500 square
feet and is currently vacant.
The corner lot at 201-205 Richmond Street is a descending corner lot. The highest portion
of the lot is on the southwest corner of the lot where the alley intersects with Franklin
Avenue. The corner lot slopes down toward the northeast with a grade differential of
approximately 6.85 feet.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
4
The applicant proposes to retain the two existing brick buildings at 203 and 207 Richmond
Street and will be incorporate them into the proposed development project. On the corner
lot at 201-205 Richmond Street, the applicant proposes a new 3-story structure
measuring 10,500 square feet, comprised of retail and/or a cafe at street level with a small
outdoor seating area, general office on the second floor, and three residential dwelling
units of varying sizes on the third floor, including the preservation of the existing 948
square -foot historic building. The applicant also proposes a new 3-story structure
measuring 3,500 square feet on the vacant lot at 209 Richmond, comprised of retail on
the ground floor with office on the second floor and one residential dwelling unit on the
third floor.
Due to the topography of the site, various parking "levels" are proposed for the
development. A ramp is proposed at the rear of the corner lot, via the alley for vehicular
ingress and egress to the parking at 201-205 Richmond Street. A second, independent
ramp will traverse the two lots at 207 and 209 Richmond Street to access the underground
parking spaces. The proposed development requires a minimum of 49 parking spaces
and the applicant is requesting a Parking Adjustment to allow more car -lifts. According to
the DSP, a maximum of 30% of the total or 15 of the required parking can be provided in
tandem or car -lifts. Although the proposed development requires 49 parking spaces, the
applicant proposes a total of 64 parking spaces as follows: 2 compact stalls, 4 ADA stalls
and 58 stalls will be provided on 29 car -lifts.

ANALYSIS
The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) requires that all new buildings be reviewed by the
Planning Commission through a design review process. The design guidelines of the
Specific Plan are primarily intended to preserve the character of the streets, and the
review is for the aesthetic design of the new building.
The subject site is located in the Richmond Street District of the DSP. According to the
DSP, "...any construction in the Richmond Street District should not adversely affect the
existing architectural features of the building or the special character, historical,
architectural, or aesthetic interest of the building or the surrounding buildings.
Construction on both new and existing buildings should be harmonious with the best
examples of historic structures in the surrounding area. The prevailing use of brick
construction should be continued and respected with both new construction and
renovations." (DSP page 92)
Zonina and Downtown Specific Plan Conformance
The project site is located in the Richmond Street District (100-200 blocks of Richmond
Street) within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) zone. This district is the historic original
Downtown. The area is intended to be resident serving, providing a pedestrian -oriented
environment, while allowing for flexibility and a mixture of commercial and residential
uses. Standards for the district are intended to maintain, enhance, and preserve the
historical "Old Town" character of the area, and Historic Design Standards are also
established to ensure this goal. Standards for this district also encourage and support
filming and related uses, as well as uses which serve the residents, local employees, and
visitors to the City, including antiques, arts and crafts, design and other similar uses.
The proposed development is consistent with the Richmond Street District in the
Downtown Specific Plan and the ESMC. New buildings must be near the front and street -
side property lines throughout the Downtown. The historic one-story brick building on the
corner that fronts on Franklin Avenue will remain untouched and integrated in the design.
The new development will wrap around the existing brick building. One Parking level will
be underground below the grade of the existing sidewalk, and the second parking level
will rise above the existing grade along the street -side facing Franklin Avenue. The
parking level above street grade will not be visible from Richmond Street but will be visible
from Franklin Avenue and the alley to the west. The project's compliance with the various
DSP zone development standards is illustrated in Table 1 below:

Height
As indicated above, the proposed project will exceed the 45-foot height limit. Specifically,
the project will exceed the height at the northwest corner of the property at 201-205
Richmond Street by 3 feet when measured, resulting in a 48-foot high structure. However,
the DSP allows the Planning Commission to approve projects that exceed the 45-foot
height limit. Staff believes the additional height will not result in a negative impact because
the steel frame on the third floor of the building is an architectural feature that allows more
light in the residential dwelling unit and does not add bulk or mass to the building. Further,
the additional height is limited to a small portion of the building that is set back away from
the street so that it will not be apparent to the public. However, this architectural feature
will result in an articulated building design that adds a modern touch and interest to the
building. As such, the additional building height will not negatively impact the DSP.
EA-1299 and DDR No. 21-01
July 8, 2021
Page 5 of 7
Parking Adjustment Justification
The existing brick building on the corner lot at 203 Richmond Street is listed as a
Historically Significant Structure in the DSP on page 146. Historically significant
properties are eligible "to apply for a reduction in parking requirements." A property that
contains a commercial historic structure may be granted a reduction in parking
requirements, to a maximum of 50%, based on the degree of the building preserved
and/or enhanced. The applicant is preserving a historic building on a corner lot in the DSP
and is requesting a reduction to the minimum required standard size parking spaces. A
higher percentage of car -lifts is being requested by the applicant that exceeds the
maximum permitted in the DSP in order to meet the minimum required parking for the
project. Car -lifts are being introduced throughout the City and are becoming more popular
in new commercial development. The proposed additional parking spaces in car -lifts will
provide the minimum required parking if approved for the project and the DSP will not be
negatively affected by granting the approval for this Parking Adjustment. Providing relief
with additional car -lifts will benefit the DSP and furthers the goal to preserve a listed
significant historic building in the City.
Design
As illustrated in the aerial perspective view below, the new building at the corner will wrap
around the existing historic brick building and will be two -stories high facing Franklin
Avenue and Richmond Street. The third story portion of the new development at the
corner will be setback 25 feet from Franklin Avenue and Richmond Street. The third story
at 209 Richmond Street will also be setback 25 feet from Richmond Street.
The proposed fagade for each building is pedestrian friendly along Richmond Street with
an outdoor planter and seating area adjacent to the sidewalk at the corner. Retail is
proposed on the ground floor which will generate daily pedestrian traffic and a 6-foot path
will be maintained for pedestrians on the sidewalk. Stairs to access the 2nd floor
commercial office space and 3rd floor residential units are visible from Franklin Avenue.
Roof decks are proposed above the first and second floor facing Richmond Street and
provide less shade and shadow for pedestrians below at the street level. The roof decks
will be visible from both Richmond Street and Franklin Avenue. The roof decks facing the
street make the development architecturally more attractive and provide a people -
oriented amenity for the residents, visitors, and the employees to enjoy the outdoor
climate and views of the City.

Figure 2 — Aerial Perspective Rendering
The proposed design at 201-205 Richmond Street is an eclectic design. The proposed
design combines 3 different construction materials. Concrete construction for the first
floor, heavy timber for the second floor which will add warmth, and exposed steel on the
third floor. The construction materials are juxtaposed layers of textures by combining the
old brick with newer more modern materials and architectural styles in the neighborhood.
The design mixes traditional and modern architectural styles. The design contains a
modern sloped roof line on the top floor which compliments the existing brick on the
building facades on the block. The steel material on the top floor allows larger openings
for light and window views to the sky and city blocks beyond.
At 209 Richmond a blend of "board formed concrete" and steel with warm wood accents,
reinforce the neighborhood's oldest commercial district of brick and wood structures in
the DSP.
Each of the four residential dwelling units in the development will have roof top decks with
views from the top floor of the city and their own front lawn/roof gardens. Resulting in the
new interpretation of the American Dream for medium density single-family living space
up in the sky. Figure 2 below, depicts the Richmond Street Elevation.
Staff believes the proposed project design is appropriate for the 100-200 block of the
Richmond Street District within the DSP. The existing brick building on the corner lot at
203 Richmond Street is listed as a Historically Significant Structure in the DSP on page
146 will be preserved and the mix of new more modern materials will improve the area.

A RESOLUTION OF THE EL SEGUNDO PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 1299,
DOWNTOWN DESIGN REVIEW NO. 21-01, AND PARKING
ADJUSTMENT NO. 21-01 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 14,000
SQUARE FOOT, THREE-STORY COMMERCIAL BUILDING WITH FOUR
RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND 64 PARKING
SPACES ON THREE LOTS LOCATED AT 201-209 RICHMOND STREET
(APN: 4136-024-008, -009 AND -017).
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that:
A. On January 12, 2021, Mark Telesz on behalf of Smoky Hollow Industries, LLC
submitted a Downtown Design Review application to develop three adjoining
lots in the 200 block of Richmond Street with 14,000 square feet of new
commercial use area and 49 parking spaces. The corner lot at 201-205
Richmond Street contains an existing 948 square -foot brick building (former
Jail House at 203 Richmond Street) that will be retained and incorporated into
the proposed development project. The second lot at 207 Richmond Street
(formerly 209 Richmond Street) is currently improved with a 4,000 square -foot
brick building that will also be retained and will provide vehicle access to the
underground parking spaces. The third lot, at 209 Richmond Street, is
currently vacant and will be developed and incorporated into the proposed
project;
B. The application was reviewed by the City's Development Services
Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with
the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC);
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines");
D. On July 8, 2021, the Commission held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding the application including information
provided to the Commission by staff; and,
E. This Resolution and its findings are based upon the evidence in the
administrative record as a whole, including evidence presented to the
Commission at its July 8, 2021, hearing and the staff report prepared by the
Development Services Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Commission finds as follows:
A. The General Plan land use designation for this area is Downtown Specific
Plan (DSP).
B. Commercial retail, office uses, and residential uses are permitted in the 100-
200 Richmond Street District within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) zone.
C. The project site is located at 201-209 Richmond Street on the northwest
corner of Franklin Avenue and Richmond Street, in the 100-200 block of the
Richmond Street District within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) zone.
D. The project site is comprised by three lots, totaling 17,500 square feet. The
corner lot at 201-205 Richmond Street contains an existing 948 square -foot
brick building (former Jail House at 203 Richmond Street).
E. The middle lot at 207 Richmond Street is 3,500 square feet and is currently
developed with a 4,000 square -foot two-story brick building.
F. The third lot farthest from the corner is currently vacant and is located at 209
Richmond Street, totaling 3,500 square feet.
G. The DSP allows an FAR of 1:1.
H. The applicant proposes to retain the two existing brick buildings at 203 and
207 Richmond Street.
The lot at 207 and 209 Richmond Street will provide vehicle access to the
underground parking spaces.
J. The corner lot at 201-205 Richmond Street is a descending corner lot. The
highest portion of the lot is at the southwest corner of the lot where the alley
intersects with Franklin Avenue. The site slopes down toward the northeast
with a grade differential of approximately 6.85 feet.
K. The maximum permitted building height in the DSP is 30 feet and 2 stories; A
45-foot height and 3-story limit begins 25 feet from the front property line; For
ascending lots, height is measured from grade along front and street -side
property lines; and the maximum height on corner lots shall be determined
through the Downtown Design Review process.
L. The applicant proposes a new 3-story structure on the corner lot that includes
retail and/or a cafe at street level with a small outdoor seating area, general
office on the second floor, and three residential dwelling units of varying size
on the third floor.
2
M. The vacant lot at 209 Richmond Street is 3,500 square feet. The applicant
proposes retail on the ground floor with office on the second floor and one
residential dwelling unit on the third floor.
N. Due to the topography of the site, various parking levels are proposed for the
development.
O. A ramp is proposed at the rear of the corner lot, via the alley for vehicular
ingress and egress to access the parking at 201-205 Richmond Street. A
second, independent ramp will traverse the two lots at 207 and 209 Richmond
Street to access the underground parking spaces.
P. The DSP allows 30% of the total required parking can be in tandem or car -
lifts. Additional parking spaces provided for the development can be provided
in tandem or car -lifts. Although the proposed development requires a
minimum of 49 parking spaces, the applicant proposes a total of 64 parking
spaces as follows: 2 compact stalls, 4 ADA stalls and 58 stalls will be provided
in 29 car -lifts. A Covenant and agreement regarding the maintenance of the
car -lifts will be required as a condition of approval.
Q. Pursuant to the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP), Section [DSP page 92], a
new structure requires a Downtown Design Review approval from the
Planning Commission at a public hearing. The Planning Commission is tasked
to determine that the proposal is consistent with the design guidelines of the
DSP. The maximum height on corner lots shall be determined through the
Design Review process. This review is primarily for the aesthetic design of
the new building.
SECTION 3: General Plan and Zoning (Downtown Specific Plan) Consistency. The project
is consistent with the City's General Plan, the Downtown Specific Plan zoning regulations
in the ESMC as follows:
A. Implementation of the project will help achieve Land Use Element Policy LU4-
2.5, which reads, "The Downtown area will provide adequate parking, through
both public and private efforts, to meet demand." By allowing 49 parking
spaces to be added to the DSP.
B. The development of a two-story parking structure with 49 spaces at the project
site will increase vehicle parking in the DSP to adequately meet the demand
for more spaces, as a result of the new 14,000 square -foot development
containing commercial retail on the first floor, office uses on the second floor,
and 4 residential units on the third floor.
C. The General Plan's Land Use Element Policy LU4-2.1 states that
consideration should be given to aesthetic architectural improvements,
3
zoning, and shopper amenities in commercial areas. The new eclectic design
and development will be an improvement to the Richmond Street District.
D. The zoning designation of the site is Downtown Specific Plan, which allows
the proposed uses.
E. The existing brick building on the corner lot at 203 Richmond Street is listed
as a Historically Significant Structure in the DSP on page 146. Historically
significant properties are eligible "to apply for a reduction in parking
requirements." A property that contains a commercial historic structure may
be granted a reduction in parking requirements, to a maximum of 50%, based
on the degree of the building preserved and/or enhanced. The applicant is
preserving a historic building on a corner lot in the DSP and is requesting a
reduction to the minimum required standard size parking spaces. A higher
percentage of car -lifts is being requested by the applicant that exceeds the
maximum permitted in the DSP in order to meet the minimum required parking
for the project. Car -lifts are being introduced throughout the City and are
becoming more popular in new commercial development. The proposed
additional parking spaces in car -lifts will provide the minimum required parking
if approved for the project and the DSP will not be negatively affected by
granting the approval for this Parking Adjustment. Providing relief with
additional car -lifts will benefit the DSP and furthers the goal to preserve a
listed significant historic building in the City.
F. The standards of the Richmond Street District of the DSP are to preserve the
District's character, which "is intended to be resident serving, providing a
pedestrian -oriented environment, while allowing for flexibility and a mixture of
commercial and residential uses." This project is consistent with the intended
standards for Richmond Street in that the historically significant brick building
at 203 Richmond Street (former Jail House) was retained and the new design
provides storefronts for retail and roof decks for both the office and residential
uses.
G. The proposed fagade for each building is pedestrian friendly along Richmond
Street with an outdoor planter and seating area adjacent to the sidewalk at
the corner. Retail is proposed on the ground floor which will generate daily
pedestrian traffic and a 6-foot path will be maintained for pedestrians on the
sidewalk. Stairs to access the 2nd floor commercial office space and 3rd floor
residential units are visible from Franklin Avenue.
H. Roof decks are proposed above the first and second floor facing Richmond
Street and provide less shade and shadow for pedestrians below at the street
level. The roof decks will be visible from both Richmond Street and Franklin
Avenue. The roof decks facing the street make the development
architecturally more attractive and provide a people -oriented amenity for the
residents, visitors, and the employees to enjoy the outdoor and views.
4
The project meets all applicable development standards of the Richmond
Street District in the Downtown Specific Plan, with the exception of height.
However, the DSP allows the maximum height on corner lots to be determined
through the Downtown Design Review process. Specifically, the project will
exceed the height at the northwest corner of the property at 201-205
Richmond Street by approximately 3 feet, resulting in a 48-foot high structure.
Staff believes the additional height will not result in a negative impact because
the steel frame on the third floor of the building is an architectural feature that
allows more light in the residential dwelling unit and does not add bulk or mass
to the building. Further, the additional height is limited to a small portion of the
building that is set back away from the street so that it will not be apparent to
the public. However, this architectural feature will result in an articulated
building design that adds a modern touch and interest to the building. As such,
the additional building height will not negatively impact the DSP.
SECTION 4: Environmental Assessment. The project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California
Code of Regulations § 15332 as a Class 32 exemption (In -Fill Development) involving new
construction consistent with the applicable general plan policies and zoning designation
regulations. The proposed development is surrounded by urban uses in a developed area
and is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality.
SECTION 5: Approvals. Based on the foregoing findings and the evidence in the whole of
the administrative record, the Planning Commission hereby approves Environmental
Assessment No. 1299 and Downtown Design Review No. 21-01, subject to the conditions
set forth in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated herein.
SECTION 6: Reliance on Record. Each of the findings and determination in this Resolution
are 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
administrative record as a whole; and
SECTION 7: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the project
is based on information available at the time of the decision. It is inevitable that in evaluating
a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not
exist. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
SECTION 8: 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.
5
SECTION 9: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 10: The Commission secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to any
person requesting a copy.
SECTION 11: This Resolution may be appealed within ten calendar days after its adoption.
All appeals must be in writing and filed with the City Clerk within this time period. Failure to
file a timely written appeal will constitute a waiver of any right of appeal.
SECTION 12: Except as provided above, this Resolution is the Planning Commission's
final decision and will become effective on the tenth day after its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of July 2021.

DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY:
ORIGINAL CITY HALL -
ARCHITECTS
JUNE 30, 2021
201-205 RICHMOND AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF RICHMOND AND E. FRANKLIN AVENUE HAS A RICH AND UNIQUE HISTORY UNLIKE ANY OTHER STREET CORNER IN THE CITY. IT IS THE SITE OF THE
ORIGINAL EL SEGUNDO CITY HALL AND ADJACENT JAIL HOUSE. TODAY THE SITE IS NEARLY ENTIRELY VACANT AND USED AS SURFACE PARKING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE JAIL HOUSE CONTAINING 948 SF
OF FAR WHICH HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO AND USED AS COMMERCIAL SPACE SINCE THE LATTER HALF OF THE PREVIOUS CENTURY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT ENTIRELY PROTECTS AND INTEGRATE THE
EXISTING JAIL HOUSE WITH A NEW 3 STORY DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING RETAIL AND OR CAFE ON THE GROUND FLOOR WITH A SMALL PORTION OF EXTERIOR SEATING, GENERAL OFFICE / COMMERCIAL SPACE
ON THE 2ND FLOOR AND 3 RESIDENTIAL UNITS OF VARYING SIZE ON THE 3RD FLOOR.
207 RICHMOND (FORMERLY 209 RICHMOND) IS A MIXED USE 2 STORY EXISTING BRICK STRUCTURE. NO SCOPE OF WORK IS PROPOSED TO THIS BUILDING.
209 RICHMOND IS A NARROW VACANT LOT BETWEEN 207 RICHMOND (FORMERLY 209 RICHMOND) AND 211 RICHMOND. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES GROUND FLOOR RETAIL WITH OFFICE USE
ABOVE AND 1 DWELLING UNIT ON THE TOP FLOOR.
ZONING SUMMARY:
THE LOT IS LOCATED WITHIN DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN IN THE RICHMOND STREET DISTRICT (100-200 BLOCK
RICHMOND STREET) WHICH IS THE "HISTORIC ORIGINAL DOWNTOWN" OF EL SEGUNDO COMPRISED OF AN ECLECTIC
MIX OF ARCHITECTURE, STORES, BARS AND RESTAURANTS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN THE 1900-1920'S CONTAINING
THE CITY'S OLDEST COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS OF BRICK AND WOODEN STRUCTURES. THE DISTRICT INTENDS TO BE
RESIDENT SERVING PROVIDING A PEDESTRIAN -ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT WHILE ALLOWING FOR FLEXIBILITY AND A
MIXTURE OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
USES:
FIRST FLOOR: RETAIL/CAFE/COMMERCIAL WITH LIMITED EXTERIOR SEATING ALONG RICHMOND ST., FOR RENT (NOT
CONDOS).
2ND FLOOR: COMMERCIAL/GENERAL OFFICE, FOR RENT (NOT CONDOS)
3RD FLOOR: RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS, APARTMENTS FOR RENT (NOT CONDOS).
HEIGHT:
ALLOWED: 30' WITH A 45' 3RD STORY LIMITED TO BEGIN 25' FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE.
(MAXIMUM HEIGHT ON CORNER LOTS SHALL BE DETERMINED THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS).
SETBACKS:
FRONT AND STREETSIDE: NONE.
SIDE AND REAR: ZERO SETBACK ALLOWED
FLOOR AREA (SEE PAGE 10):
201-205 RICHMOND
COMMERCIAL = TOTAL FAR: 1:1 = 10,500 SF ALLOWED, 10,500 SF PROVIDED
RESIDENTIAL = LIMITED TO DENSITY NOT AREA = 1/3500 SF OF SITE AREA. 10,500 SF / 3,500 = 3 ALLOWED, 3 PROVIDED
209 RICHMOND
COMMERCIAL = TOTAL NET FAR: 1:1 ALLOWED 3,500 SF PROVIDED 3,500 SF
RESIDENTIAL = LIMITED TO DENSITY NOT AREA = 1/3500 SF OF SITE AREA. 3,500 SF / 3,500 = 1 ALLOWED, 1 PROVIDED.
PARKING:
DWELLING UNITS - (0.5 SPACE PER UNIT) = 4 X 0.5 = 2 TOTAL REQUIRED = 49
COMMERCIAL - (1/300SF) = 14,000 / 300 = 47 PROVIDED = 49
DESIGN:
THE PROPOSED DESIGNS FOR BOTH STRUCTURES FULLY INTEGRATE THE EXISTING JAIL HOUSE AND BORROW THE
CONSTRUCTION TYPOLOGY AND VARIED MATERIALITY OF THE DISTRICT EXTREMELY SUCCESSFULLY.
AT 201-205 RICHMOND THE DESIGN UTILIZES 3 DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION TYPOLOGIES - CONCRETE
CONSTRUCTION FOR THE FIRST FLOOR, HEAVY TIMBER CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY FOR THE 2ND FLOOR THAT
ADDS WARMTH AND A SENSE OF RICHNESS TO THE OVERALL DESIGN AND EXPOSED STEEL CONSTRUCTION AT THE
3RD FLOOR BLENDING ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION AND ADDING GREATLY TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS ECLECTIC
FABRIC. THE DESIGN ALSO INCLUDES REINTERPRETED SLOPED ROOF LINES TO ARCHITECTURALLY COMPLIMENT
THE NEW AND THE OLD.
AT 209 RICHMOND A BLEND OF BOARD FORMED CONCRETE AND STEEL WITH WARM WOOD ACCENTS FOR THE
RESIDENTIAL TRULY REINFORCE THE NEIGHBORHOODS OLDEST ECLECTIC COMMERCIAL DISTRICT OF BRICK AND
WOODEN STRUCTURES.
AS AN ADDED UNIQUE FEATURE EACH RESIDENTIAL DWELLING IN THE DEVELOPMENT WILL EACH HAVE THEIR OWN
FRONT LAWN IN THE SKY RECREATING THE AMERICAN DREAM SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING DESIGNED FOR THE NEW
ERA OF DENSITY AND VERTICAL LIVING.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVE & MILLS ACT
CONTRACT
THE OWNER INTENDS TO ENTER INTO A MILLS -ACT AGREEMENT BASED ON SECTION
H OF THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN - SECTION IX. H - HISTORIC PRESERVATION
"THE CITY WILL PROVIDE INCENTIVES TO OWNERS OF STRUCTURES IN THE
RICHMOND STREET DISTRICT (100-200 BLOCKS RICHMOND STREET) TO MAINTAIN,
PRESERVE, AND IMPROVE THEIR HISTORIC PROPERTIES ON A COMPLETELY
VOLUNTARY BASIS. ELIGIBLE STRUCTURES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE INCENTIVE
PROGRAMS. ONLY HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURES, AS IDENTIFIED ON
THE MAP. ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE INCENTIVES...
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
MILLS ACT CONTRACTS -PROPERTY TAX REDUCTIONS AS A PRESERVATION
INCENTIVE, HISTORIC PROPERTY AGREEMENTS OFFER ADVANTAGES TO BOTH THE
CITY AND THE PROPERTY OWNER. THESE AGREEMENTS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO
AS 'MILLS ACT CONTRACTS," PROVIDE FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR OWNERS OF
QUALIFIED HISTORIC PROPERTIES WHO AGREE TO COMPLY' WITH CERTAIN
PRESERVATION RESTRICTIONS. THE TAX CREDIT MAY ONLY BE USED FOR
OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURES, (CULTURAL
RESOURCES) OR IN OFFICIAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
REGULATIONS DETAILED IN CHAPTER 20.52, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, OF THE EL
SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE.
THE USE OF MILLS ACT CONTRACTS GIVES THE CITY THE FLEXIBILITY TO DEAL WITH
HISTORIC STRUCTURE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. THE CITY HAS THE OPTION TO
CHOOSE WHICH PROPERTIES ARE SUITABLE FOR THE INCENTIVE BY EVALUATING
VARIOUS FACTORS, SUCH AS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BUILDING TO THE
COMMUNITY, DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ON THE SITE, OR THE NEED FOR
REHABILITATION. THESE CONTRACTS CAN BE USED BOTH AS A TOOL TO PRESERVE
AN INDIVIDUAL BUILDING AND AS PART OF THE BROADER SPECIFIC PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM.
FOR OWNERS OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES, MILLS ACT CONTRACTS OFFER SEVERAL
DISTINCT ADVANTAGES PARTICIPATION ON THE PART OF THE PROPERTY OWNER IS
COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. IN AREAS WHERE LAND VALUE REPRESENTS A LARGE
PORTION OF THE MARKET VALUE, SUCH AS IN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS, THE MILLS ACT METHOD OF THE LOWER ASSESSED VALUATION
ADJUSTS THE PROPERTY TAX TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL USE ON THE SITE, AND CAN
OFFER SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN TAXES FOR OWNERS OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS...
...THE MINIMUM TERM OF A MILLS ACT CONTRACT IS TEN YEARS, AND EACH YEAR
THE CONTRACT IS AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR ON A
SPECIFIED DATE UNLESS A NOTICE OF NON -RENEWAL IS GIVEN. EITHER THE
PROPERTY OWNER OR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT MAY ELECT NOT TO RENEW FOR
ANY REASON. THE EFFECT OF NON -RENEWAL IS TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT AT
THE END OF THE CURRENT TEN-YEAR TERM. THE SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR NON -
RENEWAL ARE FOUND IN GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 50282. UNDER A MILLS ACT
CONTRACT, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS OBLIGATED TO PREVENT DETERIORATION OF
THE PROPERTY, IN ADDITION TO COMPLYING WITH ANY SPECIFIC RESTORATION OR
REHABILITATION PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE CONTRACT. SUGGESTED
RESTRICTIONS MIGHT INCLUDE PROHIBITION OF DEMOLITION OR ALTERATION
EXCEPT WITH CITY APPROVAL, OR THE REQUIREMENT TO SEISMICALLY STABILIZE
THE HISTORIC STRUCTURE."

CITY OF
E L S E G U N D O Planning Commission Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 8, 2021
Agenda Heading: New Business
DESCRIPTION:
Determination of Consistency of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) with the City of El Segundo General Plan (Applicant: City of El Segundo).
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2899, determining that the proposed FY 2021-22 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) is consistent with the City of El Segundo General Plan.
BACKGROUND
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a document that identifies capital projects in the
City which the City Council can use as a guide for the efficient and effective provision
of resources for improving and maintaining public infrastructure and facilities. The City
of El Segundo annually reviews its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) needs and
funding resources for the purpose of identifying and prioritizing capital projects to be
completed within the planning period. These projects are needed to adequately maintain
current facilities, maintain existing infrastructure, provide new infrastructure where
needed, implement new technologies for the health and welfare of our citizens, and
prepare for major disasters.
The California Government Code (Section 65103 & 65401) requires the Planning
Commission to annually review the City's CIP for its consistency with the City's
General Plan. The Planning Commission has reviewed previous CIPs annually and
found them all to be consistent with the City's General Plan. The proposed list of
projects in this year's CIP was included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget
presented to City Council on June 15,2021. The Fiscal Year 2021-22 CIP is now being
presented to Planning Commission for General Plan Consistency determination.
DISCUSSION
City staff annually reviews the City's capital improvement needs, sets goals for
addressing those needs, and identifies projects necessary to achieve those goals. The
Public Works Department staff prepares a CIP which includes both core projects (e.g.,
sewer, water, roadway infrastructure improvements) and new projects proposed by other
departments and the general public. The CIP serves as a planning instrument in
conjunction with the City's General Plan and City Council's Goals to identify needed
capital projects and coordinate the financing and timing of improvements in a way
that maximizes the return to the public.
EA-1309 (General Plan Consistency Finding)
July 8, 2021
Page 2 of 3
The new projects are presented to the City's 5-member Capital Improvement Program
Advisory Committee (CIPAC) for consideration. Committee members are responsible for
reviewing, scoring and ranking the proposed CIP projects based on established scoring
criteria. Staff then makes the final funding recommendation based on CIPAC scores after
also taking finances and resources into consideration. This year's complete list of
projects are proposed to be funded through Prop C, Gas Tax, Water Enterprise, Sewer
Enterprise, Local Grant Funds and the General Fund.
CODE CONSIDERATION AND ANALYSIS
Code consideration in this matter stems from the State Government Code. In part,
Government Code Section 65401 states that:
"...each governmental body... shall prepare a coordinated program of proposed
public works... such coordinated program shall be submitted to the county or city
planning agency for review and report to said official agency as to conformity with
the adopted general plan or part thereof"
As a result, the Planning Commission's role is not to add or delete projects from the
CIP, but to determine if the proposed CIP conforms to the City's General Plan. In
other words, the Planning Commission is being asked to determine whether the
projects listed below are consistent with the goals and policies established in the
City's General Plan.
The proposed CIP projects are more fully described in Attachment 2. The following table
lists all the proposed CIP projects for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and indicates the General Plan
goals, objectives and policies with which they are consistent.
Proposed CIP projects:
1. Annual Water Main Maintenance
2. Water Division Office and Maintenance Yard
Improvements
3. Wastewater Infrastructure Replacement (Annual
Program)
4. Park Place Extension Transportation Project -
Design
5. Roadway Rehabilitation (Annual Program)
6. El Segundo Blvd. Improvements
7. Sidewalk Maintenance Program (Annual
Program)
8. Arena Street Improvements Study
9. Alondra Park (Regional project)
10. Infiltration projects
- Land Use Element Goal LU6,
to maintain and upgrade the
existing excellent parks,
recreation, and open space
facilities within the City of El
Segundo; and/or,
- Land Use Element Goal LU7,
to provide the highest quality
public facilities, services, and
public infrastructure possible to
the community.

18. Miscellaneous Electrical (Citywide)
19. Exterior Lighting + Miscellaneous Facade
20. Main Facilities ADA Compliance Projects
Staff has reviewed the list of capital projects identified in the proposed Fiscal Year
2021-22 CIP considering the goals and objectives of the General Plan and believes
that the City's CIP continues to be consistent with the applicable goals and policies
of the El Segundo General Plan. Thus, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2899, determining that the proposed FY 2021-
22Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is consistent with the City of El Segundo General
Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The General Plan Consistency finding is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and 14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3), as it is an activity covered by the common sense exemption
that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant
effect on the environment. Staff finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the Consistency finding may have a significant effect on the environment.

GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The Water Yard Building is located at 400 Lomita St. It was originally constructed in the late 1960's and did not have any
major renovations since then. Heating in the building is provided by one rooftop package unit. Air distribution is provided
to supply air registers by ducts concealed above the ceilings. Return air grilles are located adjacent to the furnaces.
Cooling for the upper level offices is provided by 4 window mounted air conditioning units. The lower level is heated by
one gas unit heater located in the staff break room/kitchenette. There are no fire sprinklers and fire protection in the
building consists of fire extinguishers. The existing roof together with the heater and duct systems on it are in poor
condition and in need of immediate replacement. From the previous rainfall events, the wear and tear of the existing roof
is increasingly noticeable as leaks are intruding into the building. The switchboard and panels are mostly original 1966
components. Due to the age of the panel it is quite difficult to obtain replacement parts. The light fixtures throughout most
of the facility utilize older, inefficient T-8 lights.
The El Segundo City Water Division Storage Building was built in 1984. It was rebuilt around 8-10 years ago and
replaced with a smaller storage building. It is a concrete block structure with a plywood roof. No heating, cooling or fire
systems are provided at this storage building. An electric meter is location the north exterior wall of the building.
Electrical equipment serving the Water Division is located inside the storage building. This electrical equipment includes
control panels for chemical treatment needed by the Water Division. The exterior door, concrete blocks, interior wall
finish, chemical treatment equipment, and control panels need replacement.

PROJECT TITLE Wastewater Infrastructure Replacement (Annual Program)
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT Public Works
DESCRIPTION Repair or replacement of sewer mains according to the greatest need.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The City's wastewater system consists of approximately 50 miles
of pipe and 1,050 manholes. The majority of these pipes are
constructed of vitrified clay and range in size from 6-inch to 24-
inch in diameter. The system was constructed over the years
based on the development needs of the City and approximately
60% of the lines are now over 50 years old.
The entire collection system has been CCTV inspected in 2011.
Staff selects sewer line segments to be repairs based on the
actual, documented condition of the pipe using the CCTV results
and ratings. Pipes scoring 5 (worst) and 4 (significantly
impacted) are prioritized for repair or replacement. This will
also provide for the operation and maintenance of manholes,
pumps, lift stations, flow meters and other components of the
system.

REQUESTING DEPARTMENT
Public Works
DESCRIPTION
This project consists of design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of a new
four -lane roadway via an underpass beneath two active railroad lines, the Union
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), both of which
serve the Chevron refinery. Other elements of the project include bridge
construction, retaining structures, utilities, installation of storm drains, petroleum
pipeline relocation, traffic signals, curbs, gutters, sidewalk, landscaping, and
possibly realignment of the existing BNSF switching yard to accommodate
continuous rail operations during construction.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION The purpose of the Park Place Extension and Railroad Grade Separation Project is to provide an
alternate route to the Rosecrans Corridor, a heavily congested major arterial in the South Bay region of Los Angeles
and to improve access to and from the 1-105 freeway (Douglas and Nash on and off ramps, respectively). Specifically,
the project will connect existing segments of Park Place between Allied Way and Nash Street to provide a continuous
roadway from Douglas Street to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). This connection will provide traffic relief to Rosecrans,
as well as direct access from Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Douglas and thereby to the 105 Freeway.

Resurfacing Local and Arterial Streets
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU 7
JUSTIFICATION
Arterial and local streets area evaluated every three years and rated using a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating
system ranging from 0-100, with 100 being best. Those streets ranking below 60 require some form of rehabilitation,
ranging from pavement grind/cap to full depth reclamation to bring the City's streets overall average rating up to a
minimum of 74, which is considered "good". Virtually all the City's local streets are much older than 30 years and most
have never been overlaid. Cracking and alligatoring are evident on most streets.
Staff has identified and selected Pine Avenue from the Pavement Management Program (PMP) as the next applicable
roadways to rehabilitate as part of the Annual Pavement Rehabilitation Program. The following roadway segments will
receive a removal and replacement treatment of the top 2" of asphalt concrete, along with more extensive localized
repairs of the most deteriorated pavement areas:
• Pine Ave. between Arena St. and Hillcrest St. (PCI of 55)

PROJECT TITLE El Segundo Blvd Improvements
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT Public Works
DESCRIPTION Improvements to El Segundo Blvd., from Isis Ave. to Pacific Coast Hwy., include but not
limited to pavement rehabilitation, bikeway installation, landscaping improvements, traffic
signal improvements, ADA curb ramp and pedestrian crosswalk improvements.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE LU7
JUSTIFICATION
El Segundo Boulevard is a major arterial east/ west six -lane divided arterial from Isis Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway and a four -
lane divided arterial from Pacific Coast Highway to Illinois Street. The corridor is mixed with commercial developments and
aerospace campuses. The roadway has a varying width from 52-feet curb to curb on the westerly end of the project to 106-feet at
the easterly end of the project limits. The existing pavement shows widespread signs of deterioration throughout the corridor with an
average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) between 0-40 which constitutes a need for rehabilitation and/ or reconstruction. Existing
conditions on El Segundo Boulevard are missing ADA compliant curb ramps, dedicated bicycle facilities including bicycle detection,
and adequate pedestrian crossings. These deficiencies and the high volume of vehicles during peak hours create adverse
conditions for cyclists and pedestrians crossing the street.
Public works have applied for Measure M grant funding from Metro and anticipate being awarded funding for this project. Public
Works received $241,500 in grant funds from Caltrans through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).

PROJECT TITLE Arena Street Improvements Study
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT Public Works
DESCRIPTION Street improvements which also should protect existing large trees in place
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE 1-1-17
JUSTIFICATION
The parkways of the 500 and 600 block of Arena Street contain large camphor trees which not only beautify the
neighborhoods but have also damaged sidewalks, curbs, and street pavement such that they are urgently in need of
repair. Figures 1 through 5 below show the typical damage caused.
Figure 1 — 506 Arena Street uneven sidewalk and ponding due to tree root uplift
This project consists of a study to recommend how to proceed with needed
repairs to the damaged sidewalks, curbs, and street improvements and keep
the integrity of existing trees at the same time.
Figure 2 — 536/540 Arena Street damaged asphalt, curb, and sidewalk due to
tree roots.
Figures 3, 4, and 5 — 613 Arena Street damaged sidewalk, curb, and asphalt due to tree trunk and roots
Figures 6, 7, and 8 — raised sidewalk using Silva cells, sidewalk on private property, pervious pavement
Additional extreme measures could include:
• Creating a curb extension or bulbout around a tree
• Narrowing the 500 block of Arena Street and replacing parking areas with sidewalk or pervious walking paths
• Closing the 500 block of Arena Street to through traffic altogether and providing pervious walking paths

Interior Improvements to City Hall
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The El Segundo City Hall building was built in 1955 and renovated in 1977. The building contains the Mayor's office,
Council Chamber, the Public Works Department, the Development Services Department, Human Resources, Finance
and other related offices, conference rooms and support staff offices.
Improvements to the interior are needed to enhance the services that the City provides. These improvements will occur
in two phases. The first phase consists of improvements to the lobby area to provide a better service to the Public,
upgrading the West Conference for employee meetings, relocating Human Resources to the basement to provide for a
more secure and secluded location for their work, and replacing the floor in the main corridor from the lobby area to the
Council Chambers to improve the aesthetics.
The second phase will consist of improvements to the other offices and spaces not included in phase one. These
improvements in this phase will include the layout changes to the Finances offices to provide consolidated workstations,
and a more secure entry and the improvements to the City Clerk's office to provide more secure file storage.
The City is currently in the design phase to finalize the project. Subsequently, this project will be advertised for
construction.

DESCRIPTION Accessibility upgrades to City Hall public restrooms
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE LU7
JUSTIFICATION
Each year, the City of El Segundo applies for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) fund (federal fund) from the
Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles (CDC). This funding is available for community
development projects that meet national objectives that benefit low and moderate -income areas, taking measurements
to meet the ADA requirements and/or meet a particular urgent community need. The City's City Hall Restroom Upgrade
Project which consists of removing accessibility barriers within the City Hall public restrooms meet this funding criteria.
The public restrooms in City Hall are the men's and women's restrooms in the east City Hall lobby near the Development
Services Division, as well as the men's and women's restrooms in the Council Chambers lobby. Their entrances are
shown below.
Figure 1 —

Current accessibility requirements defined by the Building Code and ADA standards would at minimum include the
following upgrades:
• Ensuring that entryways to the restrooms and stalls are wide enough and doors can be opened easily
• Enlarging stall capacity for standard wheelchair turning radius
• Positioning all restroom fixtures and items at accessible heights
• Ensuring enough turning and clear space between objects in the restrooms
Construction will also take into consideration and remove any lead or asbestos that may be found in the existing
restroom materials upon their demolition.

REQUESTING DEPARTMENT
DESCRIPTION
Adding 1 shower room and upgrading the women's restroom to accommodate
current ADA standards.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
Women account for growing percentage of police officers (11.6% nationally, up from just 3% in the 1970s). The
encouraging momentum toward creating a more balanced public safety force is encouraged in part by a growing
appreciation of certain unique and valuable professional qualities that women often bring to law enforcement. Those
qualities are believed to enhance the ability of law enforcement agencies to make a positive impact on the communities
they serve.
The City's women police force has seen growth over the years, but the aged facility still lacks sufficient shower and
changing rooms. Currently, the facility only has one shower room to accommodate female officers. It is essential to
upgrade the PD's women's restroom and shower room to add additional shower and upgrade the restroom facility to
current ADA standards.

JUSTIFICATION
The carpets of Fire Station #1 and Fire Station #2 need removal and replacement. Since we have been in the pandemic,
the replacement of the carpet for infectious control purposes has become a top priority in order to maintain the health and
safety of the fire suppression personnel. The station is occupied year-round and is faced with a tremendous amount of
foot traffic. In addition, the training room is an area utilized by the department for conducting training classes and serves
as a meeting room for other City departments to conduct City related classes and business activities. Both fire stations
are cleaned daily and the areas within each station are cleaned more thoroughly on Saturdays. In addition, the stations
are fogged using a hospital -grade disinfectant/cleaner on a regular basis, however, the dirt and contaminants are deep
seated into the carpet fibers.

HVAC (Citywide)
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT
DESCRIPTION
Mechanical HVAC improvements at the City Hall, Police Station, Fire Station #1,
Fire Station #2, Library and City Maintenance Yard
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The HVAC at all building facilities needs replacement. The refrigerant is not in compliance with current regulations, the
ductwork requires cleaning, the rooftop mechanical units have reached the end of their life cycles and the performance
is not what provides a comfortable controllable work environment.
The HVAC improvements needed for the Police Station involve replacing more substantial portions of the HVAC system
than in the other facilities. The Police Station will need all its interior air handlers replaced as they are failing and
sometimes there are no repair parts readily available due to the age of the components. Additionally, the boiler, chiller,
distribution pumps, rooftop exhaust fans, and rooftop packaged HVAC units are all in need of replacement. It is vital
that these items are replaced as soon as possible to continue providing clean and circulated air. Due to the extensive
replacement of rooftop HVAC equipment, roof patching and repair will be factored into the budget for the Police Station.
The majority of HVAC work for the Police Station is scheduled for FY 2022/23 due to high priority.
In 2018, a consultant (EMG) was hired to conduct a comprehensive building assessment to identify immediate
maintenance and capital needs. In that report, it was recommended to address the above issues to meet current building
and safety standards and that maintenance requirements are not deferred, thereby jeopardizing the value of these assets.

JUSTIFICATION
A majority of the City facilities plumbing infrastructure is original to the construction of the facilities. The plumbing
components have reached the end of their life cycle period. The concern is that the fixtures, faucets, equipment, sump

should be planned rather than a reaction to a problem that will continue to surface throughout the building.
In 2018, a consultant (EMG) was hired to conduct a comprehensive building assessment to identify immediate

JUSTIFICATION
Electrical equipment, such as panels, switchboards, and transformers, at all building facilities need replacement. The
electrical equipment at the City building facilities is outdated and are all reaching the end of their life cycles. The age of
the older equipment is making it difficult for the maintenance staff since some of the replacement parts are no longer
readily available. The efficiency of new equipment is significant and will result in reduced energy and maintenance
costs.

DESCRIPTION
Facade improvements and the replacement of existing exterior lighting with LED
and current technology lighting controls at the City Hall, Police Station, Fire
Station #1, Fire Station #2 and the Library.
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The existing exterior lightings at all City facilities are nearing the end of their lifecycles and are due for replacement.
Replacing the existing lighting fixtures with LED lighting fixtures will result in cost savings associated with the utility bills
and in maintenance labor costs. Additionally, with the changing to LED fixtures there should be the corresponding use
of more current lighting control technology. When planning this replacement work, the utility company will be contacted
so that they can identify rebates and 3rd party programs that can be used to offset the costs for removal & replacement
with the LED products.
The fagades of these City facilities need to be retouched with new paint and resealing of windows where necessary.
This will ensure the City facilities remain aesthetically pleasing and not have a "run-down" look.
In 2018, a consultant (EMG) was hired to conduct a comprehensive building assessment to identify immediate

Main Facilities ADA Compliance Projects
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT
DESCRIPTION
ADA Improvements to City Hall, Police Department, Fire Station #1/#2, Library
and the City Maintenance Yard
GENERAL PLAN REFERENCE
LU7
JUSTIFICATION
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires state and local governments, businesses, and non-profit
organizations to provide goods, services, and programs to people with disabilities on an equal basis with the rest of the
public. Older facilities often require improvements to ensure accessibility to people with disabilities to provide an equal
opportunity to participate.
The main facilities in the City, such as City Hall, the Police Department, Fire Station #1, Fire Station #2, the Library, and
the City Maintenance Yard, are not in compliance with the current requirements of the ADA. These needed ADA
improvements at the City's facilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Providing service counters with adequate counter heights, stairs with compliant handrails, doors with adequate
wheelchair maneuvering clearances, exterior walkways with required widths and accessible slopes, signage at
adequate heights with tactile characters or braille, a complaint number of accessible parking stalls and
restrooms with compliant maneuvering clearances, toilet stall widths, dispenser reach ranges, mirror heights
and grab bars.
Being non-ADA compliant can result in fines and lawsuits. Organizations and businesses can be fined for up to $75,000
for a single ADA violation, raising that fine to $150,000 for multiple violations. It is prudent for the City to accumulate
funds needed to upgrade all City owned facilities to follow the current ADA requirements.
