CC RESOLUTION 5320RESOLUTION NO. 5320
A RESOLUTION AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 14-02
TO ALLOW THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN EXISTING 246-
ROOM HOTEL IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
ALCOHOL SERVICE AT 475 NORTH PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND
APPROVING OFF -SITE PARKING FOR THE SOUTH HOTEL SITE
(PROJECT NO. EA-1248; AMENDMENT OF CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT CUP NO. 14-02; AND OFF -SITE PARKING).
(SOUTH HOTEL)
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Commission finds and declares that:
A. On October 9, 2014 the Planning Commission approved Resolution No.
2760 approving an application to modify the then 619-room Hacienda Hotel
into two hotels, a 350-room north hotel site (the "North Hotel") and a 246-
room south hotel site ("the South Hotel"). Along with approving this
modification, Resolution No. 2760 approved a conditional use permit to allow
operation of a bar serving alcohol and alcohol service in meeting spaces, the
patio, and pool area in the South Hotel (CUP No. 14-02), a tentative map to
reconfigure the existing lots into two separate parcels for the North Hotel and
South Hotel (SUB No. 14-05), an off -site parking covenant to permit 23 off -
site parking spaces for the South Hotel in surface parking lot located north
of Mariposa Avenue (Off -Site Parking Covenant No. MISC 14-02) and a lot -
tie covenant holding the existing three parcels underlying the existing off -site
parking lot as one property for parking purposes (Lot Tie Covenant No. MISC
14-03). The property owner never recorded the map.
B, Subsequent to the approvals listed above, the property was sold on May 13,
2019. BRE El Segundo Property Owner A LLC, BRE El Segundo Property
Owner B LLC and BRE El Segundo Parking LLC (collectively "BRE") filed
several applications to develop the hotel properties with a mixed -use
development known as the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan. Under
the proposed Specific Plan hotels would be allowed as a conditionally
permitted use. BRE's application includes a request to amend the existing
Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 14-02) for the South Hotel Site (Aloft Hotel)
located at 475 Pacific Coast Highway (the "Project Site") to allow the
continued use of the hotel, the continued alcohol service in the existing
bar/lounge area, conference room and multi -purpose rooms, and pool deck
and outdoor patio and the modification of the off -site parking.
C. The Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan Project (the "Project") includes a
Vesting Tentative Map. (No. 82806) that will combine the 12 existing parcels
comprising the hotel properties into 4 parcels and create two parcels at the
north parking lot site that is currently comprised of 3 parcels held together
by a lot -tie covenant. Additionally, the Project proposes a Shared Parking
Agreement in conjunction with a Parking Demand Study and Shared Parking
Analysis to establish the parking requirements among the various uses.
D. The Project includes the discretionary actions contemplated herein and all
of the discretionary actions required for the Project are collectively identified
as Environmental Assessment No. EA-1248.
E. The Project has been 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");
F. In addition, the City reviewed the Project's potential environmental impacts
under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§
21000, et seq., "CEQA"), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines");
G. The Development Services Department completed its review and scheduled
a public hearing regarding the application before the Planning Commission
for November 18, 2021; along with consideration of all the approvals
required for the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan Project including
Environmental Assessment No. EA-1248,
H. On November 18, 2021, December 9, 2021 and February 10, 2022, the
Planning Commission held duly -noticed public hearings at the conclusion of
which the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2906 recommending
the City Council certify the EIR, adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting
program, make findings of fact, adopt a statement of overriding
considerations, and approve the Project;
The City Council of the City of El Segundo held a duly -noticed public hearing
on March 15, 2022 to review and consider the Project, receive public
testimony, and review all of the evidence in the administrative record. At the
conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
5319 and introduced Ordinance No. 1635 certifying the EIR, adopting a
mitigation monitoring and reporting program, making findings of fact,
adopting a statement of overriding considerations, and approving the
Project; and
J. This Resolution, and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence
presented to the City Council at its March 15, 2022 public hearing including,
without limitation, the staff reports submitted by the Development Services
Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that the following
facts exist:
RESOLUTION NO. 5320
Page 2 of 14
A. The existing nine -story, 246-room hotel will be located in the Pacific Coast
Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP) Zone upon adoption of the Pacific Coast
Commons Specific Plan.
B. The South Hotel site consists of six legal lots. The hotel site is located on the
west side of Pacific Coast Highway and includes the southern half of the
block between East Mariposa Avenue to the north, East Holly Avenue to the
south and Indiana Street to the east. The South Hotel site will consist of one
lot (Lot 2) after the recordation of Vesting Tentative Map No. 82806. The
total lot area will be 39,425 square feet.
C. The South Hotel utilizes two parking areas. The existing off-street parking
area located immediately to the south of the hotel lobby entrance is fully
developed with a surface parking lot containing 175 parking stalls and three
driveway access points from Pacific Coast Highway, Holly Avenue and
Indiana Street. The parking area will become Lot 1 of Vesting Tentative Map
No. 82806. Parking for the South Hotel also includes the use of 23 parking
spaces through a parking covenant on a lot located on the west side of
Pacific Coast Highway in the block between East Mariposa Avenue to the
south and East Palm Avenue to the north comprised of 236 parking spaces.
This off -site parking lot will become Lot 5 of Vesting Tentative Map No.
82806. When the Pacific Coast Commons project is built out there will be
parking structures on Lots 1, 4 and 5 which will accommodate parking for
the South Hotel, the North Hotel, other commercial uses and the multiple -
family residential development. A Shared Use Parking Agreement will be
recorded to share parking for any overflow needs for the hotel, other
commercial uses, and multiple -family residential guest parking within the
Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan.
D. The South Hotel includes an existing bar with alcohol service. The applicant
sells a full -line of alcoholic beverages for consumption in the following
locations in the South Hotel: bar and lounge area of the south hotel lobby;
outdoor patio and pool deck area; three pool adjacent hotel suites; ground -
floor multipurpose rooms and two meeting rooms on the second floor.
Conditional Use Permit No. 14-02 for alcohol service runs with the land and
will continue to allow sales between the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. daily. The
applicant has a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for a
Type 47 license (on -site beer, wine and distilled spirits).
E. The Project includes a request to amend the existing South Hotel conditional
use permit (CUP No. 14-02) to be applicable to the South Hotel and its
existing associated alcohol uses in order to be consistent with the
conditionally permitted uses allowed with the adoption of the Pacific Coast
Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP).
RESOLUTION NO. 5320
Page 3 of 14
SECTION 3: Environmental AssessmenUCalifornia Environmental Quality Act. The CUP
and the Off -Site Parking modifications set forth in this Resolution were part of the overall
Pacific Coast Commons Project analyzed as part of EA-1248. An environmental impact
report was prepared for the project and, by separate resolution (Resolution No. 2905), the
City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report, adopted a mitigation
monitoring and reporting program, made findings of fact, and adopted a statement of
overriding considerations. The findings, conclusions, and actions set forth in Resolution
No. 5319 are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 4: General Plan Findings. The City Council finds that the changes approved by
this Resolution will further the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan and will
not obstruct their attainment. Specifically:
A. The hotel use and alcohol use are existing uses and are conditionally
permitted in the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan.
B. The hotel use is consistent with Economic Development Element Policy ED
1-2.2 to "maintain and promote land uses that improve the City's tax base,
balancing economic development and quality of life goals." The existing
renovated hotel facility has resulted in a site that improves the City's tax base
because the hotel is a more attractive destination to visitors, which has
improved occupancy and room rates. The South Hotel contributes to the
City's quality of life as it improves the appearance of existing hotel buildings
located on Pacific Coast Highway, the City's major commercial corridor.
C. The South Hotel is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C2-2.2 to
"encourage new development to provide facilities for bicyclists to park and
store their bicycles and provide shower and clothes changing facilities at or
close to the bicyclist's work destination." The South Hotel includes existing
bicycle parking.
D. The South Hotel is consistent with Circulation Element Objective C3-2 to
"ensure the consideration of the impacts of land use decisions on the City's
parking situation." The project will provide parking in compliance with the
parking requirements established in the Pacific Coast Commons Specific
Plan and the Parking Demand Study and Shared Use Analysis for the hotel
and other planned uses through a combination of off -site parking provided
immediately to the south of the hotel lobby entrance with an additional off -
site parking spaces at the existing hotel surface parking lot north of Mariposa
Avenue. The parking at the surface parking lot north of Mariposa is provided
through an off -site parking covenant. A Shared Use Parking Agreement will
replace the off -site parking covenant after the recordation of Vesting
Tentative Map No. 82806.
E. The Project will further Noise Element Objective N1-2 "to ensure that City
residents are not exposed to stationary noise levels in excess of El
Segundo's Noise Ordinance standards." Pursuant to ESMC § 7-2-1 he South
Hotel is required to operate in compliance with the City's noise ordinance.
RESOLUTION NO. 5320
Page 4 of 14
SECTION 5: Conditional Use Permit Amendment Findings. Pursuant to ESMC § 15-23-6,
the City Council finds that amending CUP No. 14-02 to allow for the continued use of the
South Hotel with alcohol service is appropriate based on the following:
A. The South Hotel with alcohol service meets the objectives of ESMC Title 15
and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The PCC COW
Land Use District in the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP)
Zone allows for a hotel as a conditionally permitted use. A bar serving
alcohol is a typical accessory use in a hotel and is also allowed in the PCC
COM-1 Land Use District pursuant to a conditional use permit. The hotel
including the bar are existing uses. The 25-foot long bar in the lobby area of
the South Hotel is a typical amenity for the class of hotel. The alcohol service
area of the bar/lobby lounge, conference and multi -purpose rooms, pool
deck and patio areas and three guest rooms is appropriate for a hotel use.
Therefore, the proposed location meets the objectives of the Pacific Coast
Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP) Zone and Title 15.
B. The South Hotel and the continued service of alcohol will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The alcohol serving bar use was reviewed by
the City's Police and Fire Departments. Both Departments recommended
conditions of approval incorporated into this Resolution. The bar must be
operated in a manner consistent with the conditions of approval as well as
with ESMC noise and nuisance standards. The alcohol service proposed for
the South Hotel will be the same as existing operating conditions.
Compliance with project conditions of approval, ABC requirements and
ESMC noise and nuisance requirements will result in a conditional use not
detrimental to public health, safety and welfare.
C, The South Hotel and the continued service of alcohol will comply with each
of the applicable provisions of ESMC Chapter 15-23. The bar serving alcohol
in the South Hotel is compatible with the hotel use at the site. The existing
hotel has been in operation approximately 64 years and has had alcohol
service over this time. The South Hotel indoor bar/lounge areas as well as
alcohol service in conference room and multi -purpose rooms will be
screened from view and have no visual or noise impacts on other uses,
including residential uses, in the general vicinity. Outdoor alcohol service
around the pool deck and patio are screened from nearby residential and
commercial neighbors by on -site structures and walls. Any noise generated
in the outdoor alcohol service areas are subject to ESMC Chapter 7-2 "Noise
and Vibration" requirements. Failure to comply with ESMC noise
requirements could result in the Director imposing additional restrictions on
outdoor alcohol service, such as limitations on hours of outdoor alcohol
service and where outdoors alcohol may be served. Continued non-
compliance with ESMC noise and nuisance requirements could result in
revocation of the conditional use. Impacts such as smoke, dust, or fumes are
not associated with the requested conditional use. Furthermore, the use will
generate traffic generally consistent with the existing operation of the site,
RESOLUTION NO. 5320
Page 5 of 14
as the site currently is developed as a hotel with alcohol service.
D. The South Hotel must comply with State of California Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control licensing requirements; the South Hotel has a Type 47
ABC license before operating alcohol service at the hotel.
E. The South Hotel with alcohol service is compatible with the particular use of
the site and with other existing and potential uses in the general area. The
long-established hotel use at the site is compatible with alcohol service. The
hotel with alcohol service has been operating at the site for approximately
64 years and a hotel is a compatible use for a major commercial
thoroughfare. The alcohol service operations at the South Hotel is different
from current hotel operations at the site. Indoor alcohol service will have no
impact or adjacent residential properties. Outdoor alcohol service will be
screened from adjacent residential properties.
F. The use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the PCCSP Zone
in that this zone allows for a range of commercial uses such as office, hotels,
restaurants, retail, and on -site and off -site alcohol sales. A bar serving
alcohol is consistent with the purpose of this commercial zone and is
compatible with other existing hotel, retail and restaurant uses in the area,
some of which also sell alcohol.
G. The South Hotel with alcohol service will not be operated or maintained in a
way detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity. As discussed in Finding No. 5.13
above, the Project was reviewed by the City's Police and Fire Departments,
the Project was conditioned to avoid impacts and the Project is required to
meet ESMC and Building Code requirements regarding noise and safety.
SECTION 6: Off -Site Parking Approval Findings (ESMC § 15-15-3(H)(4).). After
considering the factual findings of this Resolution, the City Council continues to find that
off -site parking is appropriate for the South Hotel use based on the following:
A. The South Hotel is in close proximity to the current off -site parking facilities.
The off -site surface parking lot is within reasonable walking distance of the
South Hotel site. The south end of the surface parking lot is within 700 feet
from the South Hotel lobby entrance. Vehicle access to the off -site parking
from the South Hotel site can occur by travelling northbound on either Illinois
Street or Indiana Street.
B. The Project has good pedestrian access to the off -site parking facilities.
Pedestrians can easily access the off -site parking from the South Hotel on
the Illinois Street or Pacific Coast Highway sidewalk. The intersection of
Pacific Coast Highway and Mariposa Avenue has a controlled crosswalk and
the off -site parking area is located less than 100 feet from the north end of
this crosswalk. The parking lot can be accessed from both Mariposa Avenue
and Pacific Coast Highway.
RESOLUTION NO. 5320
Page 6 of 14
C. There is no need for transportation to and from this off -site parking facilities
because of the close proximity of the parking lot to the hotel. After
construction of the PCC South Site residential and commercial mixed -use
development, the off -site parking will be primarily located in the new parking
structure on the lot immediately adjacent to the hotel (PCC South Site/Lot 1
of Vesting Map No. 82806). The entrance to the parking structure will be
immediately adjacent to the south of the hotel lobby. Additionally, overflow
parking will be accommodated in the existing off -site parking located in the
new Fairfield Parking structure and the current off -site parking location north
of the Fairfield Hotel (currently a paved parking lot which will be replaced
with a residential and commercial mixed -use development and new parking
structure).
D. Hotel parking is an appropriate use type for off -site parking. Hotel parking is
typically low turnover with guests leaving cars parked overnight and leaving
the site for extended periods with infrequent travel to and from the site.
SECTION 7: Action. Based on the information and findings set forth above, the City
Council approves the modification of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 14-02 which
authorized the service of alcohol at the South Hotel to also allow the continued operation
of a 246-room hotel. The City Council further approves the use of off -site parking for the
South Hotel in accordance with a Shared Use Parking Agreement. These approvals are
subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A".
SECTION 8: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations
in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and
written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and
determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council
in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record
as a whole. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication
that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 9: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based
on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that
absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of
the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of knowledge of
future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
SECTION 10: Operative Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon the
effective date of Ordinance No. 1635 approving the Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment,
Zoning Map Amendment, Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan, and related development
agreement for the Pacific Coast Commons Project. The adoption and effectiveness of
Ordinance No. 1635 are conditions precedent to this Resolution taking effect.
