C. PUBLIC HEARING..

16. Proposed Los Angeles Chargers Headquarters and Training Facility
Development and Raytheon Storage Facility Relocation (2000 E. El Segundo
Boulevard)
(Fiscal Impact: As proposed, development of this project and relocation of the
storage facility will have minimal financial benefit to the City's General Fund. The
2015 Gross Fiscal Impact and Economic Benefit Analysis for the overall El
Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) estimated a possible General
Fund annual revenue increase of up to $2,600,000 at theoretical buildout of the
full ESSCSP area. After the proposed project is developed, the maximum future
recurring General Fund revenue amount will be lower than initially estimated due
to this proposed use not being a more traditional office building and/or retail
development. The proposed Development Agreement Amendment includes three
one-time contributions of $1,000,000 for a total of $3,000,000 to be deposited
into the City's General Fund to be used to support The Plunge swimming pool
rehabilitation capital improvement project)
Mayor Boyles stated this was the time and place for a public hearing regarding the
