(NORTH 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.
2759 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. 2759 approved an amendment to an existing
conditional use permit (CUP No. 87-01) to allow operation of a bar serving
alcohol (BAR 525), and alcohol service in meeting, banquet and breakfast
rooms, the pool and patio area, and alcohol sales in the hotel convenience
market in the North Hotel (the amended conditional use permit is designated
CUP No. 14-01), 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 213 off -site parking spaces for the North
Hotel in a surface parking lot located north of Mariposa Avenue (Off -Site
Parking Covenant No. MISC 14-06) 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. 14-01) for the North Hotel Site (Fairfield
Inn and Suites Hotel) located at 525 Pacific Coast Highway (the "Project
Site") to allow the continued use of the hotel, the continued alcohol service
in the existing bar, (BAR 525), meeting, banquet and breakfast rooms, in the
pool and patio area, alcohol sales in the convenience market in the hotel,
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 would 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., "CEQK) and 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. 1635m 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
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 2of14
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:
A. The North Hotel is comprised of one five -story hotel building, one nine -story
hotel building, and a two-story conference center ("food and beverage
building"). The existing 350-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 North Hotel site consists of six legal lots. The hotel site is located on the
west side of Pacific Coast Highway and includes the northern half of the
block between East Mariposa Avenue to the north, East Holly Avenue to the
south and Indiana Street to the east. The North Hotel site will consist of one
lot (Lot 3) after the recordation of Vesting Tentative Map No. 82806. The
total lot area will be 67,487 square feet.
C. The North Hotel utilizes two parking area. Currently, parking is provided
through a combination of 33 on -site parking spaces and 213 off -site parking
spaces at the existing hotel surface parking lot immediately north of
Mariposa Avenue with three driveway access points from Pacific Coast
Highway, Holly Avenue and Indiana Street. The parking at the 236-space
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. After
construction of the Fairfield Parking Structure that will be located on the
newly created lot immediately north of the Fairfield Inn and Suites hotel, 26
parking spaces will remain on site. The remainder of the parking will be
provided off -site at the Fairfield Parking Structure with additional overflow
parking provided through the Shared Use Parking Agreement. When the
Pacific Coast Commons project is built out there will be parking structures
on Lots 1, 4 and 5 of Vesting Tentative Map No. 82806, which will
accommodate parking for the North Hotel, the South 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 North 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 North Hotel: bar; meeting, banquet and breakfast rooms, and
the pool and patio area. The applicant sells beer and wine in a hotel
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 3 of 14
convenience market. Conditional Use Permit No. 14-01 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 North Hotel conditional
use permit (CUP No. 14-01) to be applicable to the North Hotel and its
existing associated alcohol uses (for on -site sales of beer, wine and distilled
spirits and sales of beer and wine in the hotel convenience market) in order
to be consistent with the conditionally permitted uses allowed with the
adoption of the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP).
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 CEQA-related 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 North 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 North 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. Currently, parking is provided through a
combination of 33 on -site parking spaces and 213 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
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 4 of 14
parking covenant after the recordation of Vesting Tentative Map No. 82806.
The Fairfield Inn and Suites hotel will have direct pedestrian access from the
hotel lobby to an entrance to the Fairfield Parking Structure across the
driveway.
D. 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, the
North Hotel is required to operate in compliance with the City's noise
ordinance.
SECTION 5: Conditional Use Permit Amendment Findings. Pursuant to ESMC § 15-23-6,
the City Council finds that amending CUP No. 14-01 to allow for the continued use of the
North Hotel with alcohol service is appropriate based on the following:
A. The North 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 COM-3
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-3 Land Use District pursuant to a conditional use permit. The hotel
including the bar are existing uses. A bar is a typical amenity for this class
of hotel. The alcohol service at the existing bar, meeting, banquet and
breakfast rooms, and in the outdoor pool and patio area, as well as the
alcohol sales in the convenience market in the hotel 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 North 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 existing hotel has been in operation at the
site for over 64 years. The proposed amendment will not change hotel
operations at the North Hotel site in any significant manner. 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 North Hotel alcohol service in the existing indoor
bar as well as the meeting, banquet and breakfast rooms and the alcohol
sales in the hotel convenience market are screened from view and have no
visual or noise impacts on other uses, including residential uses, in the
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 5 of 14
general vicinity. Outdoor alcohol service around the patio and pool area are
screened from nearby residential and commercial neighbors by on -site
buildings and walls. Any noise generated in the outdoor alcohol service
areas are subject to ESMC Chapter 7-2 "Noise and Vibration" requirements.
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, as the site
currently is developed as a hotel with alcohol service.
D. The North Hotel must comply with State of California Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control licensing requirements and maintain all applicable
licenses.
E. The North 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 North Hotel is not
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 hotel with alcohol
service including 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 North 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 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)(3).). After
considering the factual findings of this Resolution, the City Council continues to find that
off -site parking is appropriate for the North Hotel use based on the following:
A. The North Hotel is in close proximity to the off -site parking facilities. The
existing off -site surface parking lot is within reasonable walking distance of
the North Hotel. The south end of the surface parking lot is within 100 feet of
the North Hotel lobby entrance. Additionally, after construction of the
Fairfield Parking Structure, the North Hotel will meet its parking needs with
26 on -site parking spaces and the spaces provided in the Fairfield Parking
Structure. Although the Fairfield Parking Structure will be located off -site as
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 6 of 14
a result of the newly created lots from the recordation of the Vesting Map
No. 82806, the Fairfield Parking Structure will have direct pedestrian access
across the driveway from the hotel lobby entrance on the lot to the north.
B. The North Hotel has good pedestrian access to the existing off -site parking
facilities. Pedestrians can easily access the off -site parking from the North
Hotel on the 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. Additionally, after construction of the Fairfield
Parking Structure, the North Hotel will meet its parking needs with 26 on -site
parking spaces and the spaces provided in the Fairfield Parking Structure.
Although the Fairfield Parking Structure will be located off -site as a result of
the newly created lots from the recordation of the Vesting Map No. 82806,
the Fairfield Parking Structure will have direct pedestrian access across the
driveway from the hotel lobby entrance on the lot to the north.
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. Additionally,
after construction of the Fairfield Parking Structure, the North Hotel will meet
its parking needs with 26 on -site parking spaces and the spaces provided in
the Fairfield Parking Structure. Although the Fairfield Parking Structure will
be located off -site as a result of the newly created lots from the recordation
of the Vesting Map No. 82806, the Fairfield Parking Structure will have direct
pedestrian access across the driveway from the hotel lobby entrance on the
lot to the north.
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: Actions,
A. Based on the information and findings set forth above, the City Council
approves the modification of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 14-01 which
authorized the service of alcohol at the North Hotel to also allow the
continued operation of a 350-room hotel. The City Council further approves
the use of off -site parking for the North Hotel in accordance with a Shared
Use Parking Agreement. These approvals are subject to the conditions set
forth in Exhibit "A".
B. The City Council rescinds approval of Subdivision No. SUB 14-05, Lot Tie
Covenant No. MISC 14-03, and Off -Site Parking Covenant No. MISC 14-06.
SECTION 8,. Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations
Z. 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
RESOLUTION NO. 5321
PAGE 7of14
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.
SECTION 11: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution.
