county, or city government treasurer to pay the warrant holder on demand or after a
specific date. Such warrants look like checks and clear through the banking system like

1. Approve the 2024 City Council Meeting Calendar with staff 's recommended
meeting cancellations.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
BACKGROUND:
Since December 2019, the Clerk's office has presented a proposed City Council
meeting calendar, with a list of proposed meetings for cancellation throughout the
calendar year. An approved annual calendar allows for improved agenda planning and
advanced notification of meeting dates to the community.
DISCUSSION:

ESUSD Spring Recess
July 16th
Summer Recess
August 6th
National Night Out - National Police
Department Event
Traditionally, a meeting occurring around a holiday is cancelled due to the fact that
certain city facilities are closed. More recently, the first meeting in August has been
Page 44 of 236
2024 City Council Calendar

Page 2 of 2
cancelled due to National Night Out, an event held by Police Departments all across the
nation. This year it isn't recommended to cancel the July 2nd meeting, since the 4th of
July falls later in the week. This would mean a recess of 2 meetings in the summer
months, versus 3 meetings, which has been the case in the past few years. City Council
may discuss other options other than staff's recommendation.
*Per ESMC 1-4-4, if a Council Meeting falls on a holiday, the meeting will be scheduled
for the next day.

TITLE:
Plans and Specifications for the Proposed Water Main Improvements Project along
California Street, Sycamore Avenue, Palm Avenue and Elm Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications for the proposed Water
Main Improvements Project along California Street, Sycamore Avenue, Palm
Avenue, and Elm Avenue. Project No. PW 23-15 to avail the City of immunities
pursuant to Government Code § 830.6.
2. Authorize staff to advertise the project for construction bids.
3. Alternately, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Included in the adopted FY 2023-24 Budget.

Additional Appropriation: None.
Account Numbers:
1. $1,000,000 from 501-400-7103-8207 (Water Main Replacement)

BACKGROUND:
Much of the City's existing water distribution system dates back to the 1920s. Some of
these water mains have exceeded their useful life and are now in need of replacement.
Standard practices call for replacing water mains every 50-70 years due to natural
degradation from soil chemistry and chlorinated potable water sources. Some of the
Page 47 of 236

water mains are also undersized for meeting today's potable water demand. Staff
evaluate the water main conditions regularly to develop and prioritize the needed
replacement/upsizing of the existing water mains.
DISCUSSION:
This year, a total of approximately 3,540 linear feet of water mains and about 102 linear
feet of service lines are scheduled for replacement and upsizing at the following
locations:
• California Street - between Sycamore Avenue and Maple Avenue
• California Street - between Palm Avenue and Mariposa Avenue
• Sycamore Avenue - between California Street and Washington Street
• Palm Avenue - between California Street and Washington Street
• Elm Avenue - between California Street and Washington Street
Staff evaluated the conditions of these water mains and determined that these
segments of water mains need to be upsized and replaced. This work was identified
and was included in the adopted budget as part of the Capital Improvement Program.
The engineering plans and contract specifications, prepared by Omnis Consulting, Inc.
are now complete and ready for adoption by the City Council.
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council adopt the attached resolution approving
the plans and specifications for the project and authorize the project for construction
bidding.
With the City Council's authorization, the anticipated schedule for the improvements is
as follows:
December 2023: Advertising and Bid Process
February 2024: Contract Award
March 2024: Begin Construction
August 2024: End of Construction
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:

Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.11
TITLE:
Approve the Purchase of a Combination Jet/Vacuum Truck for the City's Wastewater
Division
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of one Combination
Jet/Vacuum Sewer Truck for approximately $668,000 by cooperative purchasing
agreement pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-7-9(C) and authorize an
additional $100,000 as contingency funds for potential unforeseen changes in
price.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Replacement cost for this combination jet/vacuum truck is $668,000 plus a contingency
of $100,000. Currently, the equipment replacement fund for this vehicle has $291,700
available. The remaining balance of $476,300 will be funded by savings from the
Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
Over the years, vehicle costs have increased, yet the replacement rates collected
through the Equipment Replacement Fund have remained at a consistent level. An
increase in the amount of funds collected per year for the Equipment Replacement
Fund will be needed to keep pace with the cost of inflation.
Amount Budgeted: $768,000
Additional Appropriation: None
Account Numbers:
1. $291,700 from 601-400-4202-8105 (Equipment Replacement)
2. $476,300 from 502-400-4301-6206 (Sewer Operation - Contractual Services)
Page 65 of 236
Purchase of Combination Jet/Vacuum Truck
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Division of Public Works department uses a combination of vacuum
and hydro -jetting truck to perform the required maintenance on the city's wastewater
mains and stormwater pipes. The truck is used to perform needed jet-rodding and
cleaning of the city's wastewater and stormwater underground systems, ensuring free -
flowing pipelines and compliance with all Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) and National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. The city also relies on
this truck to respond to emergency situations such as stormwater pipe failures,
wastewater blockages, and water main breaks, in order to protect the public health and
safety of the residents.
The existing jet/vac sewer truck, which was purchased in 2004, has outlived its useful
life and well -exceeded the manufacturer's recommended mileage. Additionally, the truck
is not fully operational and is currently experiencing high upkeep and repair costs. As a
result, the Wastewater Division had to resort to outsourcing maintenance tasks to
contracted vendors when the truck was not operational. The City will benefit
operationally and financially from the purchase of a new truck with up-to-date
technology in the accomplishment of a wider range of operations.
DISCUSSION:
As the current jet/vac truck neared its year for scheduled replacement, staff began
researching the market for a new unit and successfully located a suitable replacement
from GapVax, Inc. It is to be noted that GapVax, Inc. is a member of Sourcewell, a
public corporation serving as a municipal contract agency for government agencies.
GapVax is the preferred manufacturer due to its performance, reliability, maintenance
and life cycle cost. Plumbers Depot is the Southern California authorized supplier for
GapVax, Inc., which is the preferred vendor. Staff recommends that the vacuum truck
be procured through the Sourcewell/GapVax Agreement No. 101221-GPV.
The purchase recommended by staff will enable the City to operate a self-sustaining
sewer and storm drain maintenance program for routine and emergency response
situations as well. The new vehicle will comply with existing emission standards and
provide additional safety features including additional lighting for increased visibility, a
transmission lock out system designed to keep the truck from jumping out of gear, and
reinforced lock mechanisms on the rear dump door to keep waste secured. With the
purchase of this truck, a standard one year bumper to bumper warranty and five year
warranty for the holding tanks will be provided. The combo jet/vac truck is ready for
delivery and will be available immediately upon purchase.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the waiver of competitive bidding
requirements pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code § 1-7-9(C) and authorize the City
Manager to purchase one new Combination Jet/Vacuum Sewer Truck through the
previously mentioned cooperative purchase agreement.

Item Number: B.12
TITLE:
Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Amending the El Segundo Municipal
Code to Allow Permanent Regulations of Short -Term Home Sharing through a Home

RECOMMENDATION:
Waive second reading and adopt an Ordinance for Environmental Assessment
No. 1180 and Zone Text Amendment No. 23-02, amending the El Segundo
Municipal Code ("ESMC") Chapters 4-16 and 15-4A-1 to allow permanent
regulation of short-term home sharing through a permit process and find it
exempt from further environmental review pursuant to 14 California Code of
Regulations §§ 15358 and 15061(b)(3).
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendments allow short-term home sharing through a Home Share
Permit. Implementation of the Ordinance will result in collection of permit fees, business
license fees and Transient Occupancy Tax ("TOT"). Ongoing enforcement and
management of home sharing is absorbed by the annual operating budget for the
Community Development and Finance Departments.
BACKGROUND:
In July 2020, City Council adopted an ordinance establishing regulations for short-term
home sharing rentals as part of a 15-month pilot program.
On October 27, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed major findings and results of
the pilot program, and recommended that City Council adopt an ordinance that
permanently allows short-term home sharing.

On November 7, 2023, City Council conducted a public hearing on an ordinance
amending ESMC Chapters 4-16 and 15-4A-1 to allow permanent regulations of short-
term home sharing through a Home Share Permit process. After discussing the item,
City Council introduced the ordinance for first reading.
176*9111::11IC0F
City Council may waive second reading and adopt the ordinance as introduced on
November 7, 2023. If the ordinance is adopted by City Council at its December 5, 2023
meeting, the effective date of the Ordinance will be January 4, 2024, which is 30 days
from the adoption date.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AMENDING TITLE 4
CHAPTER 16 (HOME SHARING PERMIT) AND TITLE 15 (ZONING
REGULATIONS) OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE TO
PERMANENTLY ALLOW SHORT-TERM HOME SHARING RENTALS IN
THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL ZONES THROUGH A SHORT-TERM HOME
SHARING PERMIT.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Due to close proximity of El Segundo to Los Angeles International airport, beaches
and Southern California tourist destinations, and being home to a significant
number of Fortune 500 companies, the City of El Segundo is a popular location for
alternative short-term lodging;
B. The renting of rooms in private homes on a short-term basis to visitors provides a
community benefit by expanding the number and type of lodging facilities available
and assists owners of homes by providing revenue which may be used for
maintenance and upgrades to these units;
C. The renting of rooms in private homes by owners for temporary occupancy is also
a community concern due to the potential for increased traffic, and noise in
residential neighborhoods if these uses are not properly regulated;
D. Problems with short-term lodgings are particularly acute in the residential zones
where the peace, safety and general welfare of the long-term residents are
potentially threatened;
E. An effective way to minimize the problems associated with short-term rental units
is to allow short-term home sharing through a permit process with restrictions and
operational regulations;
F. On October 27, 2022, the El Segundo Planning Commission held a noticed public
hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed
ordinance, including information provided by city staff; and, adopted Resolution
No. 2927 recommending that the City Council approve proposed amendments to
permanently allow short-term rentals in the form of home sharing only, as a
permitted use through issuance of a Home Share Permit;
G. On November 15, 2022, the El Segundo City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by staff and public testimony regarding the
ordinance recommended by the Planning Commission;
H. The City Council extended the short-term home sharing pilot program for another
12 months, until the end of 2023, for gathering additional information regarding the
impacts of the program and to study the appropriate methods and penalties for
Page 70 of 236
individuals engaging in unlawful short-term rental activities in the residential areas
of the City, and directed staff to return in one year;
Government Code § 34104 et seq. authorizes the City to issue subpoenas
requiring the attendance of witnesses or production of books or other documents
for evidence or testimony, and the City Council finds that City inquiries into
operators' compliance with this ordinance constitutes an "action or proceeding, as
described in Government Code § 34104.
J. On November 7, 2023, the El Segundo City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by staff and public testimony regarding the
recommended ordinance; and,
K. This ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire administrative
record including testimony and evidence presented to City Council at its November
19, 2019, February 4, February 18, March 3 and June 16, 2020, November 15,
2022, and November 7, 2023 public hearings and the staff reports submitted by
the Community Development Department.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. The City Council finds that this ordinance is
exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq. ("CEQA")) pursuant to Section 15358 (the
activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter
3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly
or indirectly. Moreover, the City Council finds that this Ordinance is also exempt under
CEQA pursuant to Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (there exists no possibility that the
activity will have a significant adverse effect on the environment).
SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. Considering all of its aspects, the El Segundo
Municipal Code ("ESMC") amendments proposed by this ordinance will further the goals,
objectives and policies of the General Plan and not obstruct their attainment. More
specifically:
A. This amendment conforms to the Land Use Element Goals, Objectives and
Policies. Specifically, the amendment is consistent with Goal LU1, Objective LU1-
1, Goal LU3, in that the amendment ensures the preservation, protection and
extension of existing residential uses; and promotes the health, safety, and
wellbeing of the people of El Segundo by adopting standards for the proper
balance, relationship, and distribution of the residential land uses at all times in
accordance with applicable law.
B. This text amendment of the Permitted Uses section in each of the City's residential
zones conforms to the General Plan. The changes do not modify or increase the
maximum density of dwelling units per acre currently allowed in the Residential
Land Use designation. As a result, the Zone Text Amendment conforms to the
Land Use Element of the General Plan.
E
Page 71 of 236
C. The text amendment complies with Objective LU 1-5.6 in that the changes to the
existing language will permanently allow short-term home sharing rentals for
property owners through a home sharing permit requirement provided it is the
property owner's primary residence.
D. The text amendment is consistent with the Residential Land Use designation in
that the changes do not modify or increase the maximum density of dwelling units
per acre currently allowed by the Residential zoning designations.
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Section 15-26-
4 the City Council finds as follows:
A. This ordinance is consistent with the purpose of the ESMC, which is to serve the
public health, safety, and general welfare and to provide the economic and social
advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land resources. The
proposed Ordinance allows home sharing as a permitted use provided that a Home
Share Permit is approved, which contains operational regulations, permit
conditions and restrictions that minimize impacts in residential neighborhoods.
B. This ordinance is necessary to minimize the likelihood that this activity goes
underground, at which point the City would not have an account of the number of
short-term rentals, their locations, or a funding mechanism to offset any increase
in demand for City services resulting from the short-term rental units.
SECTION 5: The title of Chapter 16 of Title 4 of the ESMC 4-16 is amended to read as
follows: HOME SHARING PILOT PERMIT PROGRAM.
SECTION 6: Section 4-16-1 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"The purpose of this Chapter is to require the owner of a residentially -zoned
dwelling unit that is used for home sharing to apply for and secure a permit
authorizing such use in the manner provided for in this Chapter."
SECTION 7: Section 4-16-4 (Application for Permit; Fee) of the ESMC is amended to
read as follows:
"4-16-4: APPLICATION FOR PERMIT; FEE
An application for a Short-term Home Sharing Rental Permit must be made on a
form approved by the Director and must contain the following information:
A. The name, address and telephone number of the owner of the unit for which

B. Evidence that a City business license has been applied for or obtained for
operating a short-term home sharing business.
C. Evidence that a valid Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate has
been issued by the City for the home sharing unit.

from or arising out of the short-term home sharing rental activity.
E. An affidavit signed by the property owner attesting that the property to be
used for short-term home sharing rental is the owner's primary residence as
defined in Section 4-16-2.
G F. Such other information as required by the Administrative Guidelines or as
the Director deems reasonably necessary to administer this Chapter.
14 G. The Short-term Home Sharing Permit Application must be signed by the
property owner and notarized.
f H. An application for a Short-term Home Sharing Rental Permit must be
accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the City Council."
SECTION 8: Section 4-16-5 (Permit Expiration) of the ESMC is amended to read as
follows:
"4-16-5: PERMIT EXPIRATION
B.Upon a change of property ownership, the Short-term Home Sharing Rental
Permit will automatically expire. For purposes of this Chapter, a change of
ownership has the definition set forth in Revenue and Taxation Code section 60 et
seq."
SECTION 9: Subsection (B) of Section 4-16-7 of the ESMC is amended to read as
follows:
"B. Home sharing is permitted in the residential unit that is the primary residence
of the property owner within the R-1, R-2, or R-3 Zones, pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code §§ 15-4A-1. 45-^ °�5 ^ R `', and 15 4C2."
SECTION 10: Section 4-16-11 of the ESMC is amended to read as follows
"A. Any person who violates any provision of this Chapter, or any hosting platform
that fails to meet its obligations under Section 4-16-9, is guilty of either (i) an
infraction which shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding $2,500 for the first
4
Page 73 of 236
violation and $5,000 for each additional violation within a twelve-month period, or
(ii) a misdemeanor which shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000 or by

B. Any person who violates any provision of this Chapter, or hosting platform that
violates its obligations under Section 4-16-9, shall be subject to administrative
citations and penalties pursuant to Title 1, Chapter 2A of this Code.
C. If the property upon which a short-term home sharing rental unit is located is the
subject or the site of two violations of any of the provisions of this Chapter, or of
Chapters 1, 2, or 13 of Title 7 of this Code, the Short-term Home Sharing Rental
Permit for the unit shall be automatically revoked. In such a case, no new Short-
term Home Sharing Rental Permit may be issued for the unit for the earlier of either
three months from the effective date of revocation; or a change of the ownership of
the unit to a new person.
D. In addition to the penalties set forth herein, if the short-term home sharing rental
property is the site of a loud or unruly gathering in violation of Section 7-12-3 that
results in the issuance of an administrative citation or criminal charge, the Short-
term Home Sharing Rental Permit will be automatically revoked if and when the
administrative citation becomes final (i.e., the time for administrative or judicial
review has passed or a final court judgment has been entered upholding the
citation) or a criminal conviction is obtained. In such a case, no new Short-term
Home Sharing Rental Permit may be issued for the unit for the earlier of either three
months from the effective date of revocation; or a change of the ownership of the
unit to a new person.
E. The City may issue and serve administrative subpoena, pursuant to
Government Code § 34104 et seq., as necessary to obtain specific
information regarding short-term home sharing rental listings located in the
City, including, without limitation, the names of the persons responsible for
each such listing, the address of each such listing, the length of stay for each
such listing, the listing price, and any other information necessary for the
City to determine compliance with this Chapter.
F. The remedies provided in this Section are not exclusive, and nothing in this
Section shall preclude the City's use or application of any other remedies, penalties
or procedures established by law."
SECTION 11: Section 4-16-13 of the ESMC is repealed:

Agenda Heading: Consent
Item Number: B.13
TITLE:
Professional Services Agreement with ESA Associates for $364,000 to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Report to be Reimbursed by the Developer of a Proposed
Residential Project Located at 1521 E. Grand Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA)
with ESA Associates for $364,000 to prepare an Environmental Impact Report to
be reimbursed by the developer of a proposed residential project located at 1521
E. Grand Avenue.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
•C7iT�
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department often hires consultants to provide services to
the City related to certain entitlement projects. Although the City retains the consultant
to provide services, the consultant is actually paid by the project applicant or developer.
Developers and applicants are required to deposit funds with the City to cover
consultant costs, and the City then pays the consultants from such funds. Thus, no City
funds are used to pay such consultants.
The City's Municipal Code provides a framework for the purchase of services with the
use of City funds, which grants authority to the City Manager to sign PSAs for up to
$50,000 per fiscal year. Developer -reimbursed projects have been exempt from this
general rule since 2007 when the City Manager was allowed to approve a PSA up to
$75,000 without seeking Council approval. The maximum PSA amount was increased
in 2008 to $125,000, then increased to $200,000 in 2011, and most recently increased
to $250,000 in 2021. The exemption was created for two reasons. First, such services
Page 77 of 236
Agreement for Developer -Reimbursed Project
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 3
are not paid for using City funds. Instead, consultants providing services to the City on
developer -reimbursed projects are paid by the City using the developer's or applicant's
funds that are deposited with the City. Second, allowing the City Manager to sign PSAs
for services up to $250,000 without seeking Council approval helps expedite projects.
Staff obtained two cost proposals from environmental consulting firms to prepare the
necessary CEQA documentation for a proposed residential project located at 1521 E.
Grand Avenue. Both firms' cost proposals exceed the $250,000 limit, thereby requiring
City Council approval authorizing the City Manager to execute the PSA.
DISCUSSION:
Community Development staff has selected ESA Associates to prepare the necessary
CEQA documentation for the proposed residential project located at 1521 E. Grand
Avenue. The firm has worked on several projects in the city and has the familiarity to
conduct an independent and legally defensible document. ESA's cost proposal assumes
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, including the Initial Study, notices,
preparation of technical studies, and additional assessments. The cost to prepare the
documentation is $330,517; however, the PSA would include a "not to exceed" amount
of $364,000 to account for unanticipated contingencies.
The applicant is aware of and concurs with staff's selection of ESA Associates. The
applicant has also entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with the City and has
made an initial deposit of $100,000.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability
Objective 513: El Segundo approaches its work in a financially strategic and responsible
way.

14. WAIVER. CITY's review or acceptance of, or payment for, work product prepared by

rights CITY may have under this Agreement or of any cause of action arising from
CONSULTANT's performance. A waiver by CITY of any breach of any term, covenant,

A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any
time with or without cause.

above, CONSULTANT and its subconsultants shall retain all right, title, and interest in,

employees, or representatives. Should CITY be named in any
suit, or should any claim be brought against it by suit or
otherwise, which is subject to this Section 18(A)(ii), whether the

employees, representatives, and certified volunteers.
C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will
survive termination of this Agreement.
D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 222, and any approval
of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner
limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by
CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to
the provisions concerning indemnification.
19.ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without

service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY.
CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in
any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees.

over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end
results of the work only.

Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability policies will
be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as "additional

will be deemed "primary" such that any other insurance that may be carried
by CITY will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on
ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will be
on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will not be cancelable
or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to

limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and
will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any
errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents
during the time this Agreement was in effect.
D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form
CA 00 01 06 92, or equivalent, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of
Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this
Agreement and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as
may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must be
placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating equivalent
to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the
insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at
CONSULTANT's expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from
payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate
pursuant to Section 15.

Subject: CEQA Environmental Impact Report for 1521 E. Grand Avenue, El Segundo, CA
Dear Eduardo:
Environmental Science Associates (ESA) thanks you for the opportunity to submit our proposal to provide
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) services for the 1521 E. Grand Avenue Residential Project.
Included in this proposal is our understanding of the project, scope of work, estimated schedule, and
anticipated fees to prepare and complete a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project.
Firm Profile and Experience
Founded in 1969 by three scientists, ESA quickly became known for its high -quality CEQA documentation and
science -based environmental impact analyses. But ESA is not just a firm that prepares environmental
documents —we've evolved into a broad -service science and planning firm committed to effective problem -
solving, sustainability, and delivery of integrated environmental and planning solutions throughout California,
particularly southern California. We assist clients in the earliest phases of project conception and alternatives
screening, through environmental review and regulatory approval, to project implementation and mitigation
monitoring. We are committed to providing excellent technical and strategic environmental support services
tailored to meet our clients' unique requirements. ESA is a 100 percent employee -owned, California -based firm
with a staff of more than 500 stationed in our 20 offices in the western and southeastern United States from
which we have seamlessly been able to continue the high -quality work and responsiveness ESA is known for.
ESA has the experience and expertise required to address the needs of the project, informed through the
completion of hundreds of CEQA documents within the greater Los Angeles area, including within the City El
Segundo. To name only a few, recent CEQA documents that have analyzed infill development in close proximity
to sensitive uses (i.e., residential uses) similar to the project include: 670 Mesquit Mixed -Use Project EIR, Fourth
and Central Project EIR, 11469 Jefferson Boulevard Project MND, Culver Crossings EIR, 668 S. Alameda Mixed -

vapors involving DTSC regulatory oversight and/or review.
Project Understanding
The approximately 3.62-acre project site, which is comprised of six assessor parcels (4139-008-010, -011, -012,
-018, -046, -047), is located at 1521 E. Grand Avenue in El Segundo. The project site occupies a City block and is
bound to the south by Grand Avenue, to the north by Holly Street, to the east by Washington Street (a private
street), and to the west by Kansas Street.
The projectsite is currently developed with three industrial buildings that are one to three stories in height and
provide approximately 99,029 square feet of floor area and associated surface parking. The buildings, which
are currently vacant, were previously occupied by a semiconductor manufacturing facility, an electrical
laboratory, and maintenance and parts repair. The City has issued a demolition permit and it is anticipated
that the buildings will be removed in 2023.
The site is located in a mixed -use area. Immediately across Holly Street, to the north of the site, is a single-
family residential neighborhood consisting of one -to two-story residences and to the northwest is Holly Kansas
Park, a small park with a playground, and to the northeast is Freedom Park, a linear park with walking trails.
Commercial development is located immediately across Washington Street to the east of the site; the uses
include automotive repair, scooter and motorbike sales, and other similar uses. Commercial uses are also
located to the south of the site, immediately across Grand Avenue. Multifamily residential complexes with a
total of 88 condominium units are located to the west of the site across Kansas Street.
The project would develop a total of 350 multi -family dwelling units, and would include amenities and
recreation areas, as well public and private open space. The project will include a mix of studio, one -bedroom,
two -bedroom and three -bedroom units within a single building. The project will include private open space,
with approximately 11,000 square feet of indoor amenity and recreation areas as well as private balconies and
patios for most units. Outdoor open space will be provided in three outdoor courtyards that open to the Kansas
Street frontage and three roof decks. The residential building, which will total approximately 313,000 square
feet of gross floor area, will range from three to six levels, measuring up to 60 feet in height (excluding parapet).
Vehicular access, including ingress and egress, will be provided via Grand Avenue and Washington Street.
Parking will be provided in a 7-level parking structure that will have approximately one level below grade and
6 levels above grade. The parking structure, which will be located at the southeast corner of the project site,
will total approximately 140,000 square feet of gross area. The garage will be partially wrapped by the
residential building and would daylight along Washington Street. The parking structure will be approximately
60 feet in height. The entrance to the parking structure will be from Washington Street. The project will also

r ESA
Page 3
gate Washington Street (a private street) north of the garage entrance and just south of the Holly Street
intersection, prohibiting public access through the street and preventing traffic flow through the residential
neighborhood to the north of the Site. Emergency vehicles, refuse trucks, and delivery trucks will access the
Site from Washington Street.
Construction of the project is anticipated to be in multiple phases with an overall construction duration of
approximately 28 months. Construction is anticipated to commence in 2024.
The project site is located within the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area within Smoky Hollow East. The project
site is designated Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use in the City's General Plan and is zoned Smoky Hollow East (SH-E).
The City Council certified a Program EIR and adopted the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan in October 2018 and the
Specific Plan was amended in March 2022. The Specific Plan establishes the vision, uses, and development
standards for the area. The Program EIR stated that implementation of the Specific Plan would increase
development intensity and lead to a shift in land uses from industrial to offices and related uses. Residential
uses, with the exception of caretaker units, are not permitted in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area.
Therefore, the project will require a General Plan Amendment and a Zone Change. Revisions will be necessary
to the Specific Plan as well, which could occur as amendments to the Specific Plan or the adoption of a revised
Specific Plan. In addition, the project will require Site Plan Review and may require other City approvals, which
will be determined early in the process. Therefore, the scope of work that follows is for the preparation of a
Subsequent EIR that will use relevant information from the Program EIR and other environmental documents
for development within the Specific Plan area.

ESA will attend a kick-off meeting with the City to discuss the status of the project, available information,
overall priorities for the CEQA process, communication protocols, next steps, and the project schedule.
Page 93 of 236
Page 4
Following the meeting and a thorough review of the most recent project plans and related information,
including the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan and associated EIR, ESA will prepare a data needs memorandum
listing additional information and assumptions that may be required to support completion of the CEQA
process. Examples of data to be confirmed include anticipated completion date, proposed sustainability
features (i.e., LEED° certification), construction schedule, construction equipment and phasing, demolition
and excavation volumes, narratives concerning architectural and landscape designs, and various details
concerning operation of the project. ESA assumes team responses to the majority of our data needs will be
provided within approximately three weeks of receipt of our request, in a consolidated format, and that a
prolonged iterative process to obtain the information needed to complete the process will not be required.
Upon receipt of necessary project information identified in our data needs list, ESA will prepare a draft Project
Description for City review. As discussed below, this Project Description will be included in an Initial Study
package and will be used as the basis for preparing the Explanation of Checklist Determinations within the
Initial Study package. Upon receipt of team comments, ESA will make necessary changes to the Project
Description. ESA assumes that two iterations of the Project Description will be required.

Task 2: Prepare and Distribute Initial Study/Notice of Preparation (NOP)
ESA will prepare an Initial Study that will consist of the City's Initial Study Checklist accompanied by an analysis of
each resource area, and the Project Description described above. The Initial Study will identify issues that will be
analyzed in the EIR and, importantly, substantiate why other issues will not require further study. The Initial Study
Checklist is comprised of a number of technical questions in 20 broad categories, each of which must be addressed
with a data and/or logic -based analysis. For each environmental issue addressed in the Initial Study Checklist, it will
be determined whether the project would result in no impact, a less than significant impact, a less than significant
impact with mitigation or a potentially significant impact. For issues where a potentially significant impact is
identified, the issue will be carried forward for detailed analysis in the EIR.
The Initial Study will identify relevant mitigation measures in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) that resulted from the Program EIR prepared for the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. If an
applicable mitigation measure will serve to reduce a potentially significant environmental impact to less than
significant, the issue will not warrant further review in the Subsequent EIR.
Page 94 of 236
Page 5
Based on our review of the project the following issues are assumed to have the potential for significant project
impacts or otherwise warrant analysis in the Subsequent EIR: aesthetics, air quality (construction and
operation), energy, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality
(potentially), land use and planning, noise, population/housing, public services/recreation, transportation,
tribal cultural resources, and utilities and service systems. If it becomes apparent based on completion of the
Initial Study, review of technical reports, and/or discussions with the Team that any of the above listed issues
can be excluded from the Subsequent EIR or if additional issues need to be addressed in the Subsequent EIR,
ESA will notify the City and adjust the scope of work and budget accordingly. In the event that additional issues
are added to the Subsequent EIR, additional costs may be required.
With regard to archeological and paleontological resources, because the Program EIR prepared for the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan included mitigation measures for these issues that can be applied to the project, further
environmental review in the Subsequent EIR does not appear necessary. However, ESA will conduct a records
search through the California Historical Resources Information System -South Central Coastal Information
Center (SCCIC) to identify any previously recorded archaeological resources and studies within the project site
and a 0.50-mile radius, a Sacred Lands File search from the California Native American Heritage Commission in
orderto solicit information on sensitive or undocumented traditional/cultural sites in the vicinity of the project,
and a brief archaeological sensitivity assessment to identify the potential for encountering subsurface
archaeological resources or human remains during ground disturbance. Thus, ESA assumes these issues will
be scoped out of the EIR in the Initial Study.
With regard to biological resources, there are a number of mature trees on the project site, which may be used
for nesting by migratory birds and thus, are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (USC 16 703-
712). If removal of the vegetation occurs during nesting season (typically between February 1 and September
1), the project applicant is required to conduct nesting bird surveys in accordance with the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife requirements prior to removal of the trees. Furthermore, the project would be
subject to Municipal Code tree replacement requirements. ESA assumes compliance with the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act, the City's municipal code, and other applicable regulations would ensure impacts to nesting birds
are less than significant. ESA also assumes a Tree Study will be provided to ESA that will document the existing
conditions on the project site. If a Tree Study is not available, ESA can provide the Study under a separate scope
and fee. Should mitigation be required, or the City prefers a different approach, this issue may need to be
analyzed in the EIR.
Once drafted, ESA will submit the Initial Study package to the City for review. Upon review by the City, ESA will
make any necessary changes to the Initial Study package. Although ESA cannot accurately predict the level of
City comments, for purposes of this scope of work, it is assumed that only minor revisions to the Initial Study
will be required. ESA assumes that up to two rounds of City comments will be provided.
Page 95 of 236
Page 6
As part of this task, ESA will also prepare an NOP of a Draft Subsequent EIR for review by the City. In addition,
ESA assumes that a virtual public scoping meeting will be held and thus, a Notice of a Public Scoping Meeting
will be incorporated into the NOP. In accordance with CEQA requirements, the NOP/Notice of Public Scoping
Meetingwill include a brief description of the project, a list of the probable environmental effects of the project,
a conceptual site plan, a copy of the radius map and the date, time and location of the public scoping meeting.
ESA will need assistance from the City in coordinating and preparing the mailing list for public agencies and
interested parties. Once the NOP/Notice of Public Scoping meeting is signed by City staff, ESA will distribute
the NOP/Notice of Public Scoping meeting via certified mail to the agency/Interested Parties List to begin the
30-day public comment period. We assume that the owners/occupants list and mailing labels will be provided
by the project applicant and the City will handle the distribution. During the NOP comment period, the Initial
Study will also be made available by City staff for public review.

Task 3: Prepare and Distribute Draft EIR
Upon completion of the NOP comment period, ESA will collect all public comments submitted during the
comment period and during the scoping meeting to determine if any additional relevant issues raised within
the comments need to be addressed within the Draft Subsequent EIR. ESA will prepare a Draft Subsequent EIR
analyzingthe project's potential environmental impacts. ESAwill design a Draft Subsequent EIRthatwill reflect
the scope of issues determined by the Initial Study, additional relevant issues raised within NOP comments,
and City consensus for approaching key environmental issue areas. The Draft Subsequent EIR will include all
statutory sections required by CEQA, including an Executive Summary, Project Description, Environmental
Setting, and impact analyses for each environmental issue to be addressed, including mitigation measures
where required and an analysis of cumulative effects. The EIR will also address areas of controversy, effects
found not to be significant, growth inducement, alternatives, significant irreversible environmental effects,
significant and unavoidable environmental effects, references, and organizations and persons consulted.
ESA will work with the City to create a comprehensive set of project objectives within the Project Description
and to identify alternatives to the project. Project objectives play a key role in the CEQA process as they are the
basis for considering or rejecting alternatives to the proposed project. Alternatives to the proposed project are
of primary importance in an EIR as they are required to be included under CEQA as a way to reduce or eliminate
Page 96 of 236
Page 7
the significant impacts of a project and are also carefully reviewed and considered by the public and decision -
makers. ESA assumes that three alternatives will be evaluated, including the No Project Alternative, which
would constitute development consistent with the adopted Smoky Hollow Specific Plan, as required under
CEQA. In addition, two alternate project scenarios will be developed that will reduce potentially significant
environmental impacts identified in the preparation of the Draft EIR.
The scope of the environmental impact analyses in the Draft Subsequent EIR will be determined by the Initial
Study and may be modified to include additional topics based on comments received duringthe NOP comment
period. Based on ESA's understanding of the development and our long-standing history of experience in
preparing EIRs, we anticipate that the Draft Subsequent EIR will analyze the following environmental issue
areas.
• Aesthetics
• Air Quality
• Energy
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Noise
• Population/Housing
• Public Services (Police, Fire, and Schools)
• Transportation
• Tribal Cultural Resources
• Utilities and Service Systems
Summary descriptions of our proposed analytic approach and scope for each of these environmental topics is
presented below.
For each of the subsections below, an analysis of project -related and cumulative impacts will be provided in
the Draft Subsequent EIR. The Subsequent EIR will consider the impacts of the project and compare it against
the analysis and impact conclusions contained in the certified Smoky Holly Specific Plan Program EIR (2018)
(certified Program EIR). The purpose is to determine whether the project would substantially increase the
severity of impacts previously identified in the certified Program EIR, result in a new impact not previously
identified, or require application of mitigation measures that were previously found infeasible, and were
therefore not adopted for the prior project, are currently feasible and should be incorporated into project
approvals.

r ESA
Page 8
Aesthetics
The project site is not in a Transit Priority Area (TPA). As such, the Project is not exempt from significant
aesthetics impacts per Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21099(d) which states that, "aesthetic and parking
impacts of a residential, mixed -use residential, or employment center project on an infill site within a transit
priority area (TPA) shall not be considered significant impacts on the environment." The project would
introduce residential use in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, which requires a General Plan Amendment,
Zone Change, and a Specific Plan Amendment or new Specific Plan. Since the aesthetics of this type of project
were not evaluated in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan EIR and because of the proposed height, aesthetics
impacts will be evaluated in the Draft EIR.
Optional Task; Shade/Shadow Analysis
Due to the presence of one- and two-story single family residential uses and the proposed height of the
residential building, ESA has included an optional task for the preparation of shade/shadow simulations to
analysis the potential for shade/shadow impacts on surrounding uses. After receiving the 3D digital model of
project supplied by the architect, ESAwill prepare fourshade/shadow graphics using a combination of Trimble
SketchUp Pro, Illustrator, AutoCAD and Illustrator. ESA will develop a working model of surrounding buildings
and terrain using project site plans, aerial photographs, and other available information. The analysis will
evaluate shadows impacts resulting from the project for the following dates and time:
• December 21: 9am, noon and 3pm (Areas shadowed 3 hours or more)
• March 21: 9am, llam, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm (Areas shadowed 4 hours or more)
• June 21: 9am, llam, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm (Areas shadowed 4 hours or more)
• September 21: 9am, llam, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm (Areas shadowed 4 hours or more)
ESA will prepare a shade/shadow analysis in the Draft EIR and the supporting graphics will be provided in an
appendix to the Draft EIR.
Air Quality
ESA will assess the potential air quality impacts that may arise from implementation of the project which
consists of the construction of a residential building with amenities, recreation areas, and parking structure on
the project site. The construction activities at the project site along with long-term project operation would
result in emissions of criteria air pollutants, such as particulate matter, and ozone precursors. The project site
is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Air Basin), which is under the local jurisdiction of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The air quality analysis will be prepared in accordance with the
procedures and methodologies set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook and supplemental
guidance including the Localized Significance Threshold (LST) Methodology (July 2008).
ESA will briefly discuss pertinent air quality statutes and regulations at the local, regional, state, and federal
level that are applicable to the project. ESA will define the air quality significance thresholds applicable to the
Page 98 of 236
Page 9
project based on SCAQMD criteria and guidance. The air quality analysis will include an evaluation of the
project's conformance with the applicable air quality management plan (AQMP) for the Air Basin focusing on
AQMP regulations and strategies directly applicable to project -related emission sources and consistency with
growth projections.
ESA will quantify the project's construction and operational regional emissions using the SCAQMD-approved
California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) and the on -road vehicle emissions factor (EMFAC) model and
will evaluate the emissions against the applicable SCAQMD significance thresholds to determine whether
potential air quality impacts would result. The calculation of the project's construction emissions will be based
on the number and types of construction equipment that would be used at the project site during the project
construction phases (e.g., site preparation, grading, etc.). With regard to operational emissions, the project's
mobile -source emissions will be estimated based, in part, on data provided in the transportation impact
assessment that is anticipated to be prepared for the project. Overall, the estimated construction and
operational regional emissions forthe project will be quantified and evaluated against the applicable SCAQMD
thresholds of significance.
ESA will also assess the project's potential impacts on local air quality (localized carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, and particulate matter) at nearby sensitive receptor locations from its construction and operational
emissions based on the screening criteria in the SCAQMD's LST Methodology. The nearest air quality -sensitive
receptors include single-family residential uses to the north across Holly Avenue and multi -family residential
uses to the west across Grand Avenue. In addition, park uses including Holly Kansas Park and Freedom Park,
are located northwest and northeast of the project, respectively, across Holly Avenue. Localized impacts will
be evaluated using the SCAQMD Localized Significance Threshold (LST) Methodology mass -rate lookup tables,
which provides screening level emissions for sites five acres and smaller. All modeling conducted to support
the analysis within the Air Quality EIR section will be included as an appendix to the Draft Subsequent EIR.
The potential for operational toxic air contaminant impacts will be assessed based on land use compatibility
recommendations from CARB and the SCAQMD. Based on our understanding of the project, increases in long-
term operational toxic air contaminant emissions would be minimal. ESA assumes that the project site will not
generate trips in excess of 50 heavy-duty diesel trucks per day and will not include routine (non -emergency)
use of diesel generators; as such, a quantitative operational health risk analysis will not be required. Therefore,
ESA will perform a qualitative analysis of operational toxic air contaminant impacts, which will be included in
the EIR Air Quality section.
ESA will also evaluate impacts associated with localized carbon monoxide hotspots at nearby intersections to
the project site based on project traffic data supplied by the transportation consultant for project -generated
vehicle trips to contribute to localized carbon monoxide hotspots at congested roadway intersections would
Page 99 of 236
Page 10
be evaluated qualitatively using screening levels. ESA assumes no carbon monoxide hotspot modeling is
required.
Potential odor emissions will be addressed based on CARB and SCAQMD land use compatibility guidance and
the project's compliance with regulatory measures to minimize odorous emissions. ESA will address potential
cumulative impacts from concurrent development of projects in proximity to the project, consistent with
SCAQMD's Cumulative Impacts White Paper methodology and emission thresholds.
The California Supreme Court's opinion in Sierra Club v. County of Fresno (the "Friant Ranch" case) stated that
a reasonable effort should be made in CEQA analyses to substantively connect a project's air quality impacts
from criteria air pollutant emissions to specific health consequences (or explain why it is not feasible to do so).
Consistent with this decision, ESA will discuss the potential health impacts associated with construction and
operational criteria air pollutant emissions from the project (note- this is a separate and distinct analysis from
the health risk assessment for toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions discussed below). Health impacts will be
addressed qualitatively and a detailed refined analysis using the Community MultiscaleAir Quality (CMAQ) and
Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BENMAP) models is not required. If the City determines that a
quantitative analysis of health impacts is needed, a separate scope and cost will be provided.
If potentially significant air quality impacts are identified, ESA will develop mitigation measures for
construction and operational emissions where feasible to address significant air quality impacts. Mitigation
measures will be based on measures recommended by the City and the SCAQMD, as well as other appropriate
measures. ESA will quantify emissions reductions from feasible mitigation measures that can be readily
quantified using standard emissions modelingtools. ESAwill provide the airquality analysis and impact results
in the appropriate section of the subsequent EIR, including the potential for any significant regional, localized,
and cumulative impacts to air quality, and associated mitigation measures. The section will be closely
coordinated with the subsequent EIR's Project Description, Greenhouse Gas Emissions analysis, and
Transportation analysis to ensure the project and associated environmental effects are consistently
characterized. ESA will provide the supporting modeling outputs and calculations in an appendix to the
subsequent EIR. A standalone technical study is not included in this scope of work.
Assumptions
With regards to the air quality analysis, ESA assumes that the project applicant will provide reasonably
complete and comprehensive data regarding construction and operations. Such data include but are not
limited to: construction schedule and fleet information, construction materials, size and location of buildings
to be demolished, cubic yards of soil to be excavated, hauled or imported. Data from the final transportation
assessment which evaluates project vehicle trip generation rates, VMT, and intersection impacts upon project
build -out will also be needed.
Page 100 of 236
r ESA
Page 11
Excavated soil may exhibit some level of contamination, which may require disposal or remediation at
hazardous landfills or hazardous material facilities. Should material be required to be transported to
hazardous landfills or hazardous material facilities, ESA will require the City or project applicant to identify
appropriate receiver locations in order to characterize emissions from haul trucks. As further discussed in
Hazards and Hazardous Materials below, based on site investigations, there are impacts to soil and soil vapor
associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which appear to be sourced from (i) contaminated
groundwater flowing below the Site and/or (ii) contaminated soil vapor originating from nearby properties
where VOC concentrations were detected at levels that significantly exceeded those detected at the Site. In
August 2022, the owner of the property entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the Department of
Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to further investigate the property with respect to known, threatened or
potential releases of any hazardous substance at or from the property, and implement a Removal Action
Workplan (RAW) to remediate those releases under the oversight of DTSC to allow for unrestricted use,
including the proposed project. It is anticipated that DTSC will serve as a Responsible Agency pursuant to
CEQA. The Voluntary Cleanup Agreement, RAW and intended remediation measures will be discussed
qualitatively in the Air Quality Section as it pertains to VOCs. This scope assumes no further remediation efforts
are required. If these data are not known, ESA can assist in developing reasonable assumptions, which could
be subject to approval of additional fees. ESA assumes construction and operational emissions will be analyzed
for one construction scenario and one operational scenario (at one full buildout year). Should the project
include more than one development scenario or if the project requires analysis for more than one buildout
year, these efforts and fee would be negotiated as out -of -scope items.
Optional Task; Toxic Air Contaminants / Construction Health Risk Assessment
Given the proximity of air quality sensitive uses, ESA recommends the preparation of a quantitative health risk
assessment (HRA) to evaluate potential health risks associated with construction -period toxic air contaminant
emissions to air quality -sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project. If the City determines a HRA is
necessary, ESA would conduct a quantitative construction HRA in accordance with the Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Guidance Manual for the Preparation of
Health Risk Assessments using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-approved AERMOD
dispersion model and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Hot Spots Analysis Reporting Program (HARP)
model or spreadsheet methodology to quantify potential impacts from TACs emitted during construction,
specifically diesel particulate matter (DPM). This scope assumes that no other TACs other than DPM will be
analyzed. Additional pollutants may be evaluated for a separate scope and fee. If the HRA is included within
ESA's scope, the results of the quantitative construction HRA will be included in the EIR Air Quality section and
the supporting calculations will be included in an appendix.
Page 101 of 236
Page 12
Energy
ESA will quantify the project's anticipated construction energy needs based on estimated fuel consumption for
construction equipment, haul trucks, vendor trucks, and construction workers using the project information
and assumptions described underthe Air Quality and GHG tasks. ESA will also quantify the project's anticipated
net increase in operational energy needs at full buildout conditions based on the estimated electricity and
natural gas usage for the project uses. The project's water demand would result in electricity usage from the
supply, conveyance, distribution, and treatment of potable water and will be included in the estimated
electricity usage. The operational energy needs will take into account compliance with the Title 24 Building
Energy Efficiency Standards and California Green Building (CALGreen) Code as applicable. If the project would
implement additional energy or water efficiency measures beyond regulatory requirements, the effect of these
measures on the project's energy impacts will be evaluated and quantified if data is readily available. ESA will
also estimate the transportation -related energy needs based on the estimated fuel consumption for vehicle
trips to and from the project site using trip rates in the project's transportation impact assessment and the
estimated VMT. It is assumed that the project engineer will provide anticipated project electricity
requirements; otherwise, ESA will rely on energy estimates in CalEEMod.
ESA will summarize the project's anticipated energy needs and conservation measures, including project
commitments, design features, and mitigation measures that would minimize and reduce the project's
consumption of fuel and energy. The findings of the energy analyses will be provided as part of the Subsequent
EIR Energy section with supporting calculations detailed in an appendix. A standalone technical study is not
included in this scope of work.
Assumptions
Forthe purposes of this scope, it is assumed thatthe analysis will reflect consistent data regarding construction
and operations as described in the air quality and GHG tasks. ESA assumes energy use for construction and
operation will be analyzed for one scenario and one full buildout year. Should the project include more than
one development scenario or if the project requires analysis for more than one full buildout year, these efforts
and fee would be negotiated as out -of -scope items.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The GHG assessment for the project will evaluate the potential impacts associated with the project's
generation of GHG emissions during construction and operations. Similar to the air quality task, the GHG
analysis will include an estimation of the project's GHG emissions, which would be attributed to project -related
construction equipment, area sources (e.g., use of landscaping equipment), energy consumption (electricity
and natural gas), water consumption, and solid waste generation.
Page 102 of 236
Page 13
Construction- and operations -related GHG emissions will be quantified using the Cal EEMod and EMFAC models
as discussed under the Air Quality task. Neither the City nor SCAQMD have formally adopted a numerical
threshold of significance that would be applicable to the project. Thus, given the City's discretionary authority
under the State CEQA Guidelines, the GHG assessment will evaluate the project's GHG impacts based on the
City's recommended approach using a consistency analysis with respect to relevant City plans, policies, and
regulations, including the City of El Segundo Climate Action Plan, that address GHG emissions. Furthermore,
the project's GHG emissions will be discussed with respectto the goals and recommended actions of the State's
Climate Change Scoping Plan, SB 32, and other applicable state regulations. In particular, the GHG impacts
analysis will focus on locating the project's residential uses within an urban area in proximity to commercial
uses and other residential uses. If potentially significant GHG impacts are identified, ESAwill identify applicable
and feasible mitigation measures. GHG emissions impacts are exclusively cumulative in nature and there are
no project -level only impacts from a GHG emissions perspective. Therefore, the GHG analysis will also satisfy
the CEQA requirement for a cumulative impact analysis. ESA will prepare a comprehensive Subsequent EIR
section summarizing findings of the GHG technical analyses, including the potential for any significant direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts from GHG emissions, and associated mitigation measures. The section will
be closely coordinated with the Subsequent EIR's Project Description, Air Quality analysis, Transportation
analysis, and Energy analyses to ensure the project and associated environmental effects are consistently
characterized. ESAwill provide the supporting modeling outputs and calculations in an appendix. Astandalone
technical study is not included in this scope of work.
Assumptions
As indicated in the Air Quality task, ESA assumes that the project applicant will provide reasonably complete
and comprehensive data regarding construction and operations. For the purposes of this scope of work, it is
assumed that no more than one project option (schedule) and one build -out year will be analyzed. Additional
project options can be analyzed under a separate scope and fee.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Based on site investigations, there are impacts to soil and soil vapor associated with volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), which appear to be sourced from (i) contaminated groundwater flowing below the Site
and/or (ii) contaminated soil vapor originating from nearby properties where VOC concentrations were
detected at levels that significantly exceeded those detected at the Site. In August 2022, the owner of the
property entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)
to further investigate the property with respect to known, threatened or potential releases of any hazardous
substance at or from the property, and to remediate those releases under the oversight of DTSC to allow for
unrestricted use, including the proposed project. It is anticipated that DTSC will serve as a Responsible Agency
pursuant to CEQA.
Page 103 of 236
Page 14
ESA assumes the project applicant will provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and/or the
results of any subsequent investigations, including Phase 11 investigation if warranted, that have been prepared
or may be required to support EIR analysis of the presence or absence of recognized or suspected
environmental conditions on the project site, due to historic or ongoing on -site or off -site land uses. It is
assumed that these reports will generally contain the information necessary to support an adequate analysis
of all potential impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials under CEQA. For this scope of work, we
assume that no more than 2 rounds of ESA review will be required to review the hazardous materials reports
at up to a total of 4 hours of staff review/comment time. This section of the EIR is expected to demonstrate
that with compliance with regulatory requirements and mitigation measures recommended by the technical
report(s), construction and operation of the project would not result in significant impacts related to hazards.
Hydrology and Water Quality
With respect to hydrology/water quality, this issue is heavily regulated with requirements for government
review, approval, and oversight of applicable reports, plans and subsequent related activities pertaining to
hydrology and water quality. Nonetheless, given the extent of grading, excavation and overall construction
activities, as well as the potential for groundwater quality issues due to soil contamination as noted above, this
analysis may be carried forth into the EIR. However, should the Initial Study analysis reveal that groundwater
impacts would be less than significant, potentially this issue may be scoped out of the EIR via the Initial Study.
Another factor will be whether a technical hydrology and water quality report from a civil engineer will be
required and if so, will be provided in a timely manner to be available for Initial Study. If such a report is
required, it is assumed that the report will generally contain the information necessary to support an adequate
analysis of all potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality under CEQA. For this scope of work, we
assume that no more than two rounds of ESA review will be required to review the reports at up to a total of
four hours of staff review/comment time. ESAwill coordinate with the Cityto determine the need fora technical
report and whether the issues be carried into the EIR based on the factors considered herein.
Land Use and Planning
The projectsite, which is located within Smoky Hollow East, is designated Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use in the City's
General Plan and is zoned Smoky Hollow East (SH-E). The project will introduce residential uses into the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan area. Currently, residential uses, with the exception of caretaker units, are not permitted
in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area. Therefore, the project will require a General Plan Amendment, Zone
Change, and amendments to the Specific Plan orthe adoption of a revised Specific Plan. In addition, the project
may require revisions to development standards in the Specific Plan, such as building height. Given the change
in land use and other revisions that may be necessary in the Specific Plan to allow the proposed project, the
land use analysis will evaluate the project relative to the CEQA Appendix G questions. The analysis of land use
impacts will evaluate the project's consistency with existing land use plans, policies and regulations adopted
Page 104 of 236
Page 15
forth e purpose of avoiding or mitigation an environmental effect. ESAwill fully address the project's requested
land use -related approvals in the context of applicable CEQA requirements.
Noise
Implementation of the project would result in the generation of noise and vibration within areas surrounding
the project site during construction as well as project operations. Additionally, potential vibration impacts on
surrounding land uses may occur during project construction from the operation of heavy-duty construction
equipment. Noise -sensitive land uses within proximity to the project site include single-family residential uses
to the north across Holly Avenue and multi -family residential uses to the west across Grand Avenue. In addition,
park uses including Holly Kansas Park and Freedom Park, are located northwest and northeast of the project,
respectively, across Holly Avenue.
To identify baseline noise conditions, ESA will conduct up to three short-term (15-minute) ambient noise level
measurements at the project site and representative nearby sensitive receptors using sound level meters that
satisfy the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement
instrumentation. Ambient noise measurements will be conducted during daytime hours. ESA may also re-
evaluate the appropriateness of conducting noise measurements and provide a substitute methodology for
establishing the existing noise environment. ESA assumes the project would not generate substantial
nighttime noise precluding the need to conduct nighttime ambient noise measurements. However, nighttime
ambient noise measurements can be provided, if needed, for additional scope and fee.
Construction noise levels at the nearby noise -sensitive receptors will be estimated using the Federal Highway
Administration's (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) and based on the type of construction
equipment that will potentially be used, the amount of activity that would occur, and the distance that noise -
sensitive receptors are from the project site. In addition, potential vibration impacts on surrounding land uses,
including building damage and human annoyance effects, that may occur during project construction from the
operation of heavy-duty construction equipment will be evaluated using vibration data provided by the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for different
pieces of construction equipment.
During operation of the project, noise would be generated primarily from vehicle trips traveling to and from
the project site. As such, ESA will conduct traffic noise modeling using the Federal Highway Administration's
(FHWA) Traffic Noise Model methodology to estimate the existing, existing plus project, future, and future plus
project traffic noise levels on roadways within the Transportation Assessment study area, based on inputs
provided by the project transportation consultant. ESA will also evaluate stationary noise such as mechanical
equipment, any outdoor gathering areas, and parking/refuse collection areas. If potentially significant noise or
Page 105 of 236
Page 16
vibration impacts are identified, ESA will recommend mitigation measures to reduce noise or vibration
impacts.
ESA will evaluate potential cumulative impacts on noise and vibration, including potential overlapping
construction from nearby related projects. ESA will also model cumulative plus project traffic noise based on
cumulative traffic data, if provided. ESA will prepare a comprehensive Subsequent EIR section summarizing
findings of the technical analyses, including the potential for any significant direct, indirect, and cumulative
noise impacts, and associated mitigation measures. The section will be closely coordinated with the
Subsequent EIR's Project Description, Air Quality analysis, and Transportation and Traffic analysis to ensure
the project and associated environmental effects are consistently characterized. A standalone technical study
is not included in this scope of work.
Assumptions
ESA assumes that the City and project applicant will provide reasonably complete and comprehensive data
regarding construction and operations. Such data include but are not limited to: construction schedule and
fleet information, construction materials, and cubic yards of soil to be excavated, hauled or imported out. If
these data are not known, ESA can assist in developing reasonable assumptions, which could be subject to
approval of additional fees. ESA will require vehicle trip data and peak hour roadway intersection volume data
from the project's Transportation Assessment for existing, existing plus project, future, and future plus project
conditions. ESA assumes construction and operational noise and vibration will be analyzed for one
construction scenario and one operational scenario (at one full buildoutyear). Should the project include more
than one development scenario or if the project requires analysis for more than one buildout year, these efforts
and fee would be negotiated as out -of -scope items. ESA assumes the project would not generate substantial
nighttime noise and nighttime ambient noise monitoring is not included in this scope of work.
Population and Housing
The project will locate 350 residential units in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, which will constitute a
change in currently allowed uses in the area. The evaluation of the project's potential impacts on population,
housing, and employment will evaluate the project's potential to induce substantial unplanned population
growth in an area, either directly or indirectly. This section of the EIR will address the increase in housing that
will result from project development, which will help to achieve the City's housing goals in the 2021-2029
Housing Element. The analysis will consider the increase in total population within the City and evaluate
consistency with the City's General Plan and growth anticipated by the City in relevant regional planning
documents (i.e., SCAG projections).
Page 106 of 236
Page 17
Public Services / Recreation
The analysis of public services will consider potential project impacts on the delivery of police and fire
protection services as well as school services. ESA's evaluation of the potential project impacts on fire
protection services will address location, response times, staffing, and equipment levels for the fire stations
that serve the project site; identify existing constraints to service and relevant plans or proposals for new fire
stations or increases in staffing and equipment and evaluate the project's conformance with regulations and
standards (e.g., fire hydrant flow, and emergency response times). Additionally, in consultation with the El
Segundo Fire Department, the analysis will assess the increase in demand for fire protection and the
Department's ability to serve the project and maintain adequate levels of service.
ESA's evaluation of potential project impacts on police services will address the location, police beats,
facilities, staffing, equipment levels and response times for the police station that serves the project site. Any
existing constraints to police services in the project area will be identified, based on a consultation with the El
Segundo Police Department. The analysis will assess the increase in demand for police services and the
Department's ability to serve the project area and maintain adequate levels of service.
The project's development of new residential units would increase the demand for school facilities. ESA's
evaluation of potential project impacts on school services will address the location, facilities, staffing,
enrollment and capacity for the public schools that would serve potential student generation associated with
the project. Consultation with the serving School District will be conducted to estimate the level and type of
demand associated with the project and potential impacts will be analyzed in the EIR.
With regard to parks and recreation, the project's development of new residential units would increase the
demand for parks and recreation facilities. ESA's evaluation of potential project impacts on parks and open
space will identify existing neighborhood and community parks in the area, including Holly Kansas Park and
Freedom Park, which are located northwest and northeast of the project, respectively, across Holly Avenue.
The analysis will evaluate whetherthe project's increase in population would increase the use of parks orother
recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be
accelerated. In addition, the analysis will evaluate the potential impact that the increase in population could
have on the City's park land to population ratio.
In addition, the Subsequent EIR will consider potential impacts on library services. Consultation with El
Segundo Public Library staff will be conducted to evaluate potential impacts on library service and facilities.
The evaluation will identify the size and capacity of the El Segundo Public Library and the service population.
The analysis will identify any existing facility or service constraints and identify any relevant plans for new or
expanded facilities or services.

Transportation
The Draft Subsequent EIR will contain a summary of the analyses and findings contained in a Transportation
Study. This scope assumes preparation of the technical analysis and section by Fehr & Peers Transportation
Consultants, who ESA would retain as a sub -consultant.
Method and Assumptions
An initial meeting (via online call) will be held with the City to discuss the overall approach to the transportation
study, including the identification of the study area and parameters of the study. Fehr & Peers will summarize
the parameters of the study in a methodologies and assumptions memorandum for review and approval by
the City. Fehr & Peers anticipates one additional call with the City of El Segundo during the preparation of this
study and two calls with the project team. Based on coordination with the City, Fehr and Peers will prepare and
submit a Methodologies &Assumptions Memorandum to the project team and City.
CEQA Analysis
Fehr & Peers will prepare a CEQA transportation analysis following the City of El Segundo SB 743
Implementation Guidelines for the project. If applicable, this analysis will inform mitigation measures that
would allow the project to cause less -than -significant transportation impacts. The City's SB 743
Implementation Guidelines includes a screening methodology referred to as "map -based screening". This
screening criteria allows smaller residential and office projects located in an area that is under the threshold
as shown on the City's screening map to be presumed to cause a less -than -significant transportation impact.
This screening methodology may not be applied to projects determined to represent significant growth as to
substantially change regional travel patterns, as determined by the City.
From an initial review of the City of El Segundo Sketch Planning Tool "TREDLite", Fehr & Peers anticipates that
the project will qualify to be screened -out of VMT analysis based on map -based screening. Fehr & Peers will
review the map -based screening criteria, and if applicable, coordinate with the City to reach a determination
on if the project represents a substantial change in regional travel patterns. If the project is determined to
qualify for map -based screening, Fehr & Peers will summarize these findings in the EIR Transportation Chapter.
If the project is determined by the City to represent a substantial change in regional travel patterns and
therefore disqualify from map -based screening, a modified scope and fee will be submitted to prepare a full
VMT impact analysis.
In addition to the VMT screening, Fehr and Peers will also address the transportation checklist questions listed
in Appendix G from the Governor's Office of Planning Research (OPR)'s technical guidance, which includes
addressing the following questions:
Page 108 of 236
Page 19
• Does the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system,
including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities?
• Does the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
• Does the project result in inadequate emergency access?
The Appendix G checklist questions as they apply to the project will be addressed in the EIR Transportation
Chapter.
Non-CEQA Local Transportation Assessment
A non-CEQA Local Transportation Assessment will be developed, following the City of El Segundo guidelines.
Due to the project size, the assessment will include the following components:
• Trip Generation -Estimate project trip generation using Trip Generation, 11th Edition from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers.
• Trip Distribution - Prepare project trip distribution and assignments based on distribution patterns of
similar projects, local traffic patterns, Big Data, and discussions with City staff. This scope and fee includes
the data collection cost for origin -destination data using Streetlight Big Data to inform trip distribution.
• Project Trip Assignment - Weekday morning and evening peak hour project trips will be assigned to the
roadway network serving the site using the trip generation estimates and trip distribution agreed upon
with the City of El Segundo. A figure illustrating the assignment of these trips will be developed.
• Cumulative Projects - A review of other pending nearby development projects in the City will be conducted.
Pending project trips will be added to the project trip assignment and shown in a figure.
• Traffic Counts - Based on Fehr & Peers' preliminary evaluation, 10 study intersections are included in this
scope of work. The ultimate number of study intersections will depend on concurrence from the City of El
Segundo. This scope of work and fee proposal will need to be adjusted if additional study intersections are
required. Once the study intersection locations are decided upon, Fehr & Peers will procure AM and PM
peak hour turning movement counts for these intersections.
• Level of Service Analysis - Fehr & Peers will conduct an ICU Level of Service (LOS) analysis that the City has
typically required for signalized intersections and HCM LOS analysis using Synchro 11 software for
unsignalized intersections. The LOS analysis will be conducted for traffic operations in the weekday AM and
PM peak hours for each of the study intersections.
• For the LOS Analysis, the following scenarios will be analyzed:
- Existing Conditions
- Opening Year Conditions
- Opening Year Plus Project Conditions
Page 109 of 236
Page 20
Fehr & Peers will prepare a Local Transportation Assessment Memorandum documenting the results of the
tasks described above. A draft of the report will be prepared and submitted to the City for review. A revised
draft will be prepared in response to consolidated City staff comments.
Tribal Cultural Resources
ESA will assist the City with tribal consultation required by Senate Bill (SB 18) and Assembly Bill (AB) 52. ESA
will assist the City with preparing and distributing SB 18 and AB 52 notification letters via email, respond to
tribal responses, and attend one tribal consultation meeting, including compiling meeting notes. ESA will
summarize the results of the SB 18 and AB 52 consultation efforts in the Tribal Cultural Resources section of
the EIR.
Assumptions
ESA assumes no more than 15 tribes will be notified, no more than one tribe will request consultation, tribal
responses will include no more than 10 pages of consultation materials, the consultation meeting will be
virtual, and no tribal cultural resources will be identified within the project site or immediate vicinity.
Utilities and Service Systems
The analysis of utilities will address the availability of water supply at the project site, assess the capacity of
water and wastewater infrastructure serving the project site, and analyze solid waste impacts. ESA will analyze
water supply impacts based on available water -related information available from the City's Department of
Public Works, Water Division. The project will develop 350 residential units and amenities and therefore, would
not meet the thresholds requiring the preparation of a water supply assessment (WSA) pursuant to Senate Bill
610 (effective January 1, 2002 and codified in California Water Code Section 10910 et seq.).
In addition, based on technical input (a report) from the project applicant's civil engineer, the analysis of water
in the Subsequent EIR will also describe the local water distribution system and evaluate whether the off -site
water infrastructure can adequately accommodate the demand for water generated by the project. For this
scope of work, we assume the technical report will provide sufficient information to support an adequate CEQA
analysis.
The analysis of utilities will also address potential impacts associated with wastewater conveyance and
treatment. Project implementation would increase wastewater generation and could result in the demand for
sanitary sewer improvements in the project area. ESA assumes the project civil engineer will prepare a
technical report or provide input that adequately characterizes existing and future projected wastewater
generation volumes as well as collection, conveyance and treatment systems for the project site and area,
including provision of a wastewater service inquiry in coordination with the City. The report should also
Page 110 of 236
Page 21
indicate any necessary improvements or mitigation measures to reduce impacts. ESA will summarize report
findings in the Subsequent EIR. For this scope of work, we assume the technical report will provide sufficient
information to support an adequate CEQA analysis.
ESA will quantify solid waste generation from project development during construction and operation. The
analysis will estimate if the project's generated solid waste would exceed the capacity of solid waste facilities
serving the project site.
In addition, based on CEQA Guidelines recommendations, the Utilities section will also address whether the
construction of new or expanded electrical power or natural gas facilities will create adverse environmental
impacts. We assume that technical input from the project applicant (i.e., civil tech reports) and/or service
letters (will serve) will be provided to ESA to determine the necessary extent of such upgrades on- and off the
project site.
Revise and Distribute Public Draft EIR
Once drafted, ESA will submit the Draft Subsequent EIR to the City for review. ESA anticipates that two rounds
of City comments will need to be incorporated and a proof -check version prepared before the Public Review
Draft EIR copy is finalized. As the precise amount of time and associated fees required for review and
incorporation of team and City comments cannot be specifically predicted, ESA has proposed an "allowance"
for completion of these tasks. Thus, if the fee is less than the fee cited in the fee table below, the balance will
not be billed. In addition, if fees are more than required, ESAwill seekwritten authorization priorto proceeding.
We have budgeted approximately 33 staff hours for addressing City comments through the various review
cycles required to produce the Public Review Draft EIR.
ESA will assist the City with the preparation of a Notice of Completion and a Notice of Availability (NOC/NOA).
ESA will assist in the distribution of the Draft EIR to a list of agencies, organizations and interested parties
agreed to by the City. That list will include the State Clearinghouse, the County Clerk, Responsible Agencies,
local libraries, State and local agencies, nearby homeowners' associations and others who commented on the
NOP. ESA will also prepare files for posting the Draft EIR on the City's website and produce CDs or flash drives
of the Draft EIR for City distribution. ESA will also provide two hardcopies of the Draft Subsequent EIR to the
City to use at City Hall and the City's Library.

Task 4: Prepare and Distribute Final EIR
At the close of the public review period for the Draft EIR, ESA will coordinate with the City to obtain all public
comments. ESA will review the comments and meet with the City to discuss issues raised and establish an
approach for responding to comments. After consultation with the City regarding the issues raised, ESA will
prepare a Draft -Final EIR. The Final EIR will include: a summary of the proposed project and its associated
impacts; corrections and additions to the Draft EIR; a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies
commenting on the Draft EIR; comments submitted regardingthe Draft EIR and responses prepared to address
those comments; copies of the Draft EIR comment letters; and a Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP).
As discussed in more detail below, ESA can only speculate as to the extent of public comment regarding the
Draft EIR. We assume a relatively low to moderate level of public comments will be submitted to the City
requiring responses. In addition, it is anticipated that ESA will need assistance from the City with regard to
comments that are more political in nature or that are specific to the design of the project. As discussed in the
Proposed Fees section below, ESA has assigned allowances for responding to these comments and have
budgeted approximately 90 staff hours, including 16 hours for Fehr and Peers, for completion of the first draft
responses to comments and Final EIR to the Team. As an allowance, this budget is an estimate of our labor
efforts. Upon receipt of comment letters on the Draft EIR, ESA will assess the adequacy of the estimated cost
allowance for responding to comments based on the actual nature and extent of comments received. While
we anticipate comments to the project, the overall complexity and volume of comments cannot be specifically
predicted at this time. Upon receipt of the comments, ESA will re -assess our budget with the City and update
budgets/staff hours within this task, as needed.
ESA anticipates that the City will review the Screencheck Final Subsequent EIR once before approving its
contents. ESA has budgeted approximately 16 staff hours as an allowance to address City comments. Once the
City approves the Final Subsequent EIR, ESA will assist the City with distribution of the Final EIR to the
appropriate agencies and organizations, including those agencies that commented on the Draft Subsequent
EIR and to the El Segundo Library. ESA will also prepare a Notice of Completion to be sent along with copies of
the Final EIR to the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk. As with the Draft Subsequent EIR, ESA will prepare
electronic files for posting of the document to the City's website and will prepare CDs and/or flash drives of the
Draft Subsequent EIR for distribution by the City. This notice will state the library where the Final Subsequent
EIR is available for review and the address for review of the Final Subsequent EIR on the City website. Ten days
after the Final EIR is sent to commenting agencies, public hearings regarding the project can commence.
Page 112 of 236
Page 23
In addition, ESA will prepare the Findings and if necessary, Statement of Overriding Considerations. ESA will
submit a draft to the City for review. The budget anticipates one iteration of the Findings.
Upon project approval, ESA will file the Notice of Determination with the County Clerk. This notice will start a
30-day statute of limitations with regard to approval of the project and certification of the Final Subsequent
EIR. ESA has not included filing fees and assumes all County Clerk filing fees will be paid by the project
applicant.

Task 5: Management, Meet! ngs/-Feleconferences & Coordination
The precise number of meetings and the duration and staffing of meetings required to complete the
environmental review process cannot be accurately predicted at this time, accordingly ESA has assigned a
budget allowance for this task. We have assumed that weekly conference calls will occur during the period
leading up to publication of the Draft Subsequent EIR. Meetings and coordination with public agencies will also
be necessary throughout the process, and particularly during preparation of the Draft Subsequent EIR. As
discussed above, ESA assumes that a virtual scoping meeting will be held for the project during the NOP
comment period and that ESA and Fehr and Peers will attend one Planning Commission and one City Council
hearing. Should the City desire Fehr & Peers attend additional public hearings, a new scope/fee request will be
submitted.
EIR Schedule
The table below illustrates the general anticipated timeline for completion of the Subsequent EIR process up
to public hearings but may be refined based on City input. Fundamental to maintaining schedule and budget
is that the Project Description is unchanged throughout the process. Also, the schedule is often dependent on
City review times, particularly the Draft Subsequent EIR. City review assumes batch submittals to City. The
estimated project schedule is provided in the table below.
The ESA Project Team will commit the necessary resources to ensure the preparation of the Subsequent EIR
and related environmental documents within the desired time frame. However, in the event that changes to
Page 113 of 236
Page 24
the Project Description occur after it has been drafted, project information is not available or complete,
involved changes in technical reports prepared by others are required, comments greatly exceed anticipated
levels, or if changes in the scope occur, the schedule would be affected. ESA will notify the City at the earliest
point possible if issues arise with the potential to affect the project schedule.

Based on our understanding of the project and the Scope of Work provided in the previous section, our
estimated fee to prepare the Subsequent EIR and associated documentation is outlined in the table below. ESA
reserves the right to transfer fees among line items, as budget flexibility is needed to respond to shifts in effort
that invariably occur due to unexpected circumstances. Should the need arise for additional professional
services beyond those set forth in the scope of services due to changes in the process or the regulatory
environment, ESA will request written authorization from the client to proceed prior to the initiation of the
additional services.
Factors triggering an increase in the scope of services and a revised fee may include, but are not necessarily
limited to: a prolonged interactive data gathering process in associated with the information needs
memorandum prepared under Task 1, modifications in the project after the Project Description has been
drafted; analysis of technical issues other than those identified in this scope of work; changes in City guidance
Page 114 of 236
Page 25
directing organization and content of EIRs; receipt of inadequate technical reports; revisions due to changes in
the technical reports prepared by others; more team or City comments other than those due to errors; more
meetings/meeting time than contemplated; more public comments than contemplated; production of
additional documents; or significant delays in the project beyond the control of ESA.

2. Waive full reading of the proposed Ordinance (EA No. 1345 and Zone Text
Amendment No. 23-02) to amend El Segundo Municipal Code Title 15,
implement certain Zone Text Amendments in El Segundo Housing Element

BACKGROUND:
In accordance with California law, the City is required to prepare a Housing Element for
its General Plan every 8 years. The Housing Element plays a crucial role in identifying
and analyzing existing and projected housing needs within El Segundo. It establishes
goals, policies, and quantified objectives, along with financial resources and scheduled
programs for housing preservation, improvement, and development. After lengthy
community outreach, public input, and environmental analysis, the City Council adopted
a revised 2021-2029 Housing Element on November 15, 2022. The adopted Housing
Element was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community
Development ("HCD") for review and certification.

Zone Text Amendment to Implement the City's Housing Element
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 6
On January 17, 2023, after the City made minor technical changes to the Housing
Element, HCD issued a conditional approval letter determining that the adopted
Housing Element meets most of the statutory requirements of State Housing Element
Law (Gov. Code, Article 10.6). Full certification of the Housing Element was contingent
upon completing the necessary rezones to address the shortfall of sites to
accommodate the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA"). HCD's
conditional approval is also contingent upon the City's timely and effective
implementation of all Housing Element programs, including: Accessory Dwelling Units
(Program 3), Affordable Housing Strategy (Program 4), Provision of Adequate Sites
(Program 6), Lot Consolidation (Program 8), Code Amendments (Program 9), Fair
Housing (Program 11).
Several El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") amendments required in Program 9
have been completed, including Density Bonus, Transitional and Supportive Housing,
and Single -Room Occupancy/Micro Units. On November 9, 2023, the Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed Ordinance further
implementing Program 9 with regard to: Residential Care Facilities for seven or more;
Emergency Shelters; Low Barrier Navigation Center; Employee Housing; Reasonable
Accommodations; and Senior Housing. After discussing the proposed amendments, the
Planning Commission adopted a resolution on a 4-0 vote, recommending City Council
approval of the proposed Ordinance. Since the City Council is the decision -making body
for amendments to the ESMC, it is now before City Council for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
Program 9 of the El Segundo Housing Element aims to remove governmental
constraints on housing development. An excerpt of the Housing Element is provided as
Attachment 2 (Housing Element Program 9). The proposed ordinance (attached)
contains various amendments to Title 15 — Zoning Regulations of the El Segundo
Municipal Code. Collectively, the proposed amendments remove governmental
constraints, facilitate development of a variety of housing types, and incorporate various
improvements to the development review process for streamlining purposes. In addition,
the amendments bring certain City zoning regulations into compliance with applicable
state laws.
Specific text amendments to implement each topic area are detailed in Table No. 1. For
reference, the affected code sections are provided in parentheses.

Zoning Code Section 15-1-1 (Purpose, Title) states that the Zoning Code is the primary
tool for implementation of the goals, objectives, and policies of the El Segundo General
Plan. Accordingly, the Planning Commission must find that the proposed Zone Text
Amendment is consistent with those goals, objectives, and policies. Planning staff finds
the amendment is consistent with:
• Program 9 of the General Plan Housing Element - removes governmental and
other constraints to facilitate the development of a variety of housing types
and enable a more streamlined development review process.
• Goal 2 of the General Plan Housing Element - provides sufficient new,
affordable housing opportunities in the City to meet the needs of groups with
special requirements, including the needs of lower and moderate- income
households.
• Goal 3 of the General Plan Housing Element - contributes to improving the
existing jobs -housing balance in the City and provides opportunities for new
housing construction in a variety of locations and a variety of densities.
• Goal 4 of the General Plan Housing Element - removes governmental
constraints to diversify available housing opportunities, including ownership
and rental, fair -market, and assisted, in conformance with open housing
policies and free of discriminatory practices.
Environmental Consideration
The proposed Zone Text Amendment is exempt from further review under CEQA and
the CEQA Guidelines because it consists only of minor additions and revisions to
existing sections of Title 15 of the El Segundo Municipal Code. It does not have the
effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings required
thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an action that does not have the potential to cause
significant effects on the environment. Any environmental impacts associated with this
Ordinance are adequately addressed in the Housing Element Negative Declaration
and/or General Plan FEIR. Accordingly, this Ordinance is consistent with the General
Plan and Housing Element, and, therefore, is exempt from further environmental review
requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act.
An Initial Study of Environmental Impacts was prepared for the Housing Element
pursuant to the requirements of CEQA Guidelines § 15063. The Initial Study
demonstrated that the Housing Element would not cause any significant environmental
impacts, nor would not result in approval of any physical improvements. Pursuant to its
Resolution No. 5308, dated February 1, 2022, the City Council found that the Negative
Declaration ("ND") prepared for the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element was
completed in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Regulations, in
Page 124 of 236
Zone Text Amendment to Implement the City's Housing Element
December 5, 2023
Page 5 of 6
accordance with the independent judgment of the City. The City Council determined that
there is no substantial evidence that the adopted Housing Element, inclusive of its
goals, policies, and implementing programs, would have a significant effect on the
environment, cumulative or otherwise. City staff evaluated the proposed amendments to
Title 15 of the El Segundo Municipal Code, implementing Program 9 of the Housing
Element, set forth in this Ordinance within the scope of the ND, and determined that
there is not substantial evidence that any condition set forth in CEQA Regulation
15162(a) are present that would require revision or modification to the ND. The
Ordinance is also exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental
documentation per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed
amendments would implement the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element and does not
approve any developments. Thus, it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
Accordingly, the City Council finds that the activities set forth in the Ordinance
implement the Housing Element contemplated in the approved ND and no further
environmental review is required for the proposed Ordinance.
Conclusion
The proposed Zone Text Amendment implements six topic areas within Program 9 of
the El Segundo Housing Element. The Ordinance includes various additions, revisions,
and deletions to Title 15 of the EESMC. Collectively, the Zone Text Amendment
facilitates the development of a variety of housing types, enables a more streamlined
review process, and brings the City's zoning regulations into compliance with state laws
and implements various components of the Housing Element. Staff and the Planning
Commission recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance.

Impacts was prepared for the Housing Element pursuant to the requirements of CEQA
Guidelines § 15063. The Initial Study demonstrated that the Housing Element would not

the Negative Declaration ("ND") prepared for the adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element
was completed in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Regulations,

City Council Agenda Statement
F 1 F �' t 1) O Meeting Date: December 5, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.15
TITLE:
Resolution of Intention and First Reading of an Ordinance Authorizing an Amendment to
the City's CaIPERS Contract to Implement Additional Government Code § 20516
Employee Cost Sharing for Classic City Employees' Association Members
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt the Resolution of Intention to approve a contract amendment with the
California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CaIPERS") to provide an
additional 1 % employee cost sharing, as specified for classic members of the El
Segundo City Employees' Association ("CEA").
2. Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk, to execute CaIPERS forms as
required for submission to CaIPERS to facilitate CaIPERS contract amendment
process.
3. Introduce first reading by title only, with further reading waived, an Ordinance
authorizing such contract amendment and schedule a second reading of the
Ordinance for the regular January 16, 2024 City Council meeting.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The retirement contract amendment will have an estimated $14,477 annual savings to
the City as the employees will be picking up a portion of the "employer share" of their
retirement cost.
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with CaIPERS to provide retirement benefits which are funded
through employee and employer designated contributions. Employee contributions are
negotiated through the meet and confer process and memorialized in a Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU") which is ratified by its members and approved by the governing
Page 144 of 236

body.
On March 19, 2019, the El Segundo City Council adopted a resolution approving a
successor MOU with CEA for the term March 20, 2019, through September 30, 2023.
The adopted and approved CEA MOU provided that miscellaneous employees defined
as "Classic" members would increase CalPERS retirement payments by an additional
one percent (1 %) for a total employee contribution of eight percent (8%) of
compensation beginning September 2023. The cost sharing is currently in place by
direct payroll deduction from employees to the City. CalPERS requires that a formal
contract amendment process must be executed for the addition one percent (1 %) cost
sharing provision.
The process requires that the City submit the required forms to CalPERS for review and
approval, conduct an election of impacted members, approve and adopt a resolution to
amend the contract, and receive final notification that the amendment process is
complete.
DISCUSSION:
The additional one percent (1 %) cost sharing went into effect in September 2023 and
the City has been withholding the agreed upon contributions from employee paychecks,
however, the additional cost sharing payment cannot be reported to CalPERS as an
employee contribution until a contract amendment has been executed.
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution of Intention between the City of El Segundo
and CaIPERS and to introduce the Ordinance for the contract amendment, as required
under Government Code § 20471. Upon approval of the adoption of the resolution, the
City will send the executed documents to CalPERS and request to begin the contract
amendment process. Once the documents required to start the contract amendment
process have been successfully submitted and CalPERS approves the contract
amendment, the City will convert the one percent (1 %) employer contribution to an
employee contribution so that CEA members receive credit.
The Ordinance will come back for the second reading/approval at the January 16, 2024
City Council meeting to allow for the mandatory 20-day window between the
Resolution's approval and the Ordinance's adoption, as required Government Code §
20471. The contract amendment is scheduled to go into effect on February 24, 2024,
which is the first day of the new payroll period following the Ordinance's January 16,
2024 effective date.

City Council Agenda Statement
F I, F G t I) O Meeting Date: December 5, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.16
TITLE:
Fire Services Automatic and Mutual Aid Agreement Between the Cities of El Segundo
and Manhattan Beach
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign a Fire Services Automatic and Mutual Aid
Agreement between the cities of El Segundo and Manhattan Beach.
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Automatic aid is provided without cost to the requesting agency. Each city's fire
department is responsible for cost of personnel and resources provided under this
agreement. There is no financial impact to our city because of our participation in the
local mutual and automatic aid agreement. Each Area G fire department bears their
city's costs of providing mutual and automatic aid services.
BACKGROUND:
The City of El Segundo has entered into various aid agreements with the area's fire
departments to provide services for the benefit of our city and the surrounding
communities. The agreements can cover both automatic aid and mutual aid, as
described below.
The purpose of automatic aid is to ensure the appropriate type and number of fire
resources are dispatched to an emergency incident when a 9-1-1 call is reported to the
fire dispatch center. These units are pre -approved through an agreement and do not
have to be requested before being dispatched. Automatic aid is also used to ensure our
residents and visitors receive emergency services when our internal resources are
committed to and unavailable due to simultaneous calls for service. Automatic aid
agreements have been used to strengthen our fire operations and assure our fire
department's ability to manage incidents when the size or complexity of an emergency
Page 158 of 236
2023 Fire Services Automatic and Mutual Aid Agreement
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 4
requires more resources than the city's fire department has available.
Mutual aid is used to request resources after the initial units and all available automatic
aid resources are en route or on -scene of an emergency and the incident commander
anticipates additional units will be necessary to control the emergency. Unlike automatic
aid, mutual aid requests are not approved at the time of the initial dispatch. Mutual aid
requests are made to and confirmed by the agency giving aid. Requests are not
automatically approved, and an agency may decline a request. El Segundo's mutual aid
requests first go through Area G (see attachment LACO Disaster Management Areas
Map). When Area G's resources are depleted, the dispatch center makes a request for
resources to the Los Angeles County Fire region.
DISCUSSION:
El Segundo has been a fire service partner to Manhattan Beach for nearly as long as
both cities have had organized fire departments. The last automatic aid agreement
between the two cities was approved in 2009. Under this 2009 agreement, El
Segundo's ladder truck only responded to structure fire calls along the south side of the
Rosecrans Avenue corridor between Oak Avenue and Aviation Boulevard. El Segundo's
ladder truck was provided without reciprocation of any resources from Manhattan Beach
under the 2009 automatic aid agreement.
Recently, our two cities have been providing additional aid and services beyond the
terms of the 2009 agreement, and both cities desire to memorialize our current
practices through the proposed agreement. In 2022, our fire department provided
emergency units to Manhattan Beach for 91 incidents, while Manhattan Beach sent
units to 92 incidents in our city. The proposed agreement is more robust than the 2009
agreement and reflects the increased need to support each other to provide effective
fire services. The new agreement includes exchanges of fire engines, paramedic
ambulances, and Battalion Chiefs. In the agreement, an automatic aid response to the
City of El Segundo from Manhattan Beach requires Manhattan Beach to provide both
their large fire apparatus and a Battalion Chief for a reported house fire. The City of El
Segundo reciprocates by sending our ladder truck, one fire engine, and a Battalion
Chief to Manhattan Beach for a reported structure fire. Under this model, we keep one
of our fire engines in town in the event a simultaneous call for fire services occurs in our
city.
The agreement includes medical aid responses and single unit resources requests for
non -structure fire or non -medical aid assistance. If El Segundo Fire Department
provides a paramedic ambulance for a medical aid emergency under the automatic aid
agreement and the patient requires transport, our paramedic ambulance will take the
patient to the nearest and most appropriate receiving hospital. Manhattan Beach
provides equal service to El Segundo. A single resource unit request would occur, for
example, when the requesting city does not have the resources and there is a need to
extinguish a vehicle fire. The type of emergency call for a single resource unit is defined
Page 159 of 236
2023 Fire Services Automatic and Mutual Aid Agreement
December 5, 2023
Page 3 of 4
in the agreement in Exhibit A.
Under the new agreement, and as an industry standard practice, there is no fee or
charge associated with automatic aid. Instead, the goal is to create a system where
there is balanced reciprocation of emergency units.
Mutual aid is addressed in the agreement, but only to the extent of what resources
either city can provide under a mutual aid request. There are two documents the cities
adhere to when requesting or providing mutual aid assistance. The first is the Area G
Mutual Aid Agreement dated 1961 and the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master
Mutual Aid Agreement. The City of El Segundo already follows these processes, and no
modification is required.
Mutual aid is provided by the Area G fire departments to El Segundo when an automatic
aid agreement does not exist. Mutual aid differs from automatic aid in that the incident
commander must be on -scene of an emergency incident that will overwhelm the city's
resources and has exhausted automatic aid agreements. When Area G resources are
at draw down, additional resources are requested from the region (Los Angeles
County). An agency providing mutual aid resources can be reimbursed for their costs
depending on the number of resources and the duration of their commitment. As a
general rule, an incident must exceed several hours, even days, before it becomes a
reimbursable event.

Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective: El Segundo is a safe and prepared city.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR. EXCHANGE OF EMERGENCY
SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE
CITY OF MANHATTAN BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT
This Memorandum of Understanding is authorized by the City Council of the City of El Segundo
and the City Council of the City of Manhattan Beach. The provisions of this Memorandum shall
become effective and operational on August 1, 2009.
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to outline the procedures for carrying out
an automatic aid/initial action response by the City of El Segundo Fire Department, hereinafter
referred to as `BLS," and the City of Manhattan Beach Fire Department, hereinafter referred to
as "MHB." This Memorandum of Understanding is a guide for day-to-day operations and is not
intended to replace or adjust the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement,
AMOUNT AND TYPE OF ASSISTANCE
The exchange of fire protection services described below is intended to provide for the dispatch
of the most appropriate ELS or MHB resources to assist regular jurisdictional units with fire
emergencies occurring in the areas described below and depicted on the attached map.
RESPONSE BY ELS TO MHB
ELS Truck 32 will respond as the first due truck on structural fire alarms or other reports
of a structure fire in MHB in the area south of Rosecrans Ave. and bounded by Oak
Avenue, Parkview Avenue, and Aviation Blvd.
RESPONSE BY MHB TO ELS
None. (Per El Segundo)
Upon receipt of a structural fire alarm or other report of a structure fire in Manhattan Beach
within the automatic aid/initial action area, the South Bay Regional Communications Center
shall dispatch the proper assignment and immediately notify the El Segundo Public Safety
Emergency Communications Center, "El Segundo," and request the agreed upon assistance.
If the agreed upon automatic aid/initial response is not available or ELS's resources are
temporarily depleted, ELS is not required to respond. The Captain of ELS Truck 32 will notify
"El Segundo" dispatch when the Truck goes out of service for any reason and when the Truck
returns to service. The Captain shall direct "El Segundo" dispatch to notify "South Bay"
dispatch and MHB of the change in the Truck's status.
Page 173 of 236
COMMUNICATIONS
When ELS Truck 32 responds into MHB jurisdiction, the unit will notify "El Segundo" dispatch
that they are responding and then will turn the radio to "South Bay FD 1" and notify "South
Bay" dispatch that they are responding. On arrival at the incident, ELS Truck 32 shall notify
"South Bay" dispatch that they are on scene.
The senior officer of the first arriving unit will take necessary action dictated by the situation.
Overall command of the incident will be assumed by MHB upon its arrival at the scene. The
Captain on ELS Truck 32 will contact the Incident Commander for resource coordination and
assignment. ELS Truck 32 will be released from the incident by MHB as .soon as practical.
INCIDENT REPORTING
Each department shall be responsible for obtaining needed information to complete their reports
for incidents. ELS Truck 32 shall provide MHB appropriate information for the completion of
their incident reports.
TRAINING
Joint training will be carried out periodically for the purpose of maintaining efficient inter-
departmental coordination and'operational efficiency.
REVISIONS
This agreement shall remain operative and effective until participation is terminated by either
party. It is further agreed that either party may terminate the agreement at any time by giving
written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of termination. It is
agreed that substantial reductions of the fire protection services by either agency shall be cause
for reconsideration of this agreement.

City Council Agenda Statement
F I, F, G t I) O Meeting Date: December 5, 2023
Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.17
TITLE:
Park Vista Yard Sale Request
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Provide staff direction whether to consider allowing public yard sales at the Park
Vista Senior Living facility.
2. Alternately, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Yard sales at the Park Vista Senior Living facility were raised during public comment at
the November 7, 2023 City Council meeting, as well as by residents during the El
Segundo Senior Citizen Housing Board Corporation's meetings on September 27 and
October 25, 2023. Neil Cadman, whose management company, the Cadman Group,
oversees day-to-day operations of the Park Vista facility, informed the Senior Housing
Corporation Board that he has denied yard sale requests due to security concerns and
potential insurance issues.
DISCUSSION:
As the City's property manager of Park Vista, the Cadman Group oversees the day-to-
day operations and maintenance of the facility. The Cadman Group ensures Park Vista
operates in accordance with local, state and federal laws, tenant issues are addressed,
and the facility operates within its annual budget.
In its experience with the daily operations, the Cadman Group has historically denied
community yard sale requests at Park Vista for liability and security concerns. For
example, the event would be in an inner area of the facility to which non-residents do
Page 190 of 236

December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 2
not normally have access. Once inside, they could freely enter the building and
potentially access individual residences. Damage to person or property could expose
the City to potential liability. The City Attorney's office agreed that the security and
liability concerns outweigh the limited benefit of a group sale, especially with ample
alternatives for private sales of items via internet or secondhand store, but
recommended the matter be directed to the City Council for consultation and direction.
While the Cadman Group plans to continue denying resident yard sale requests due to
the mentioned safety and liability concerns, staff is bringing this item before City Council
for further discussion and direction, as deemed appropriate.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness

Item Number: D.18
TITLE:
Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC Sublease Assignment to Spirit Realty, L.P. and
Associated Master Lease Amendment and Estoppel Certificate
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed assignment of Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC's sublease
to Spirit Realty, L.P. and corresponding leaseback of the interest from Spirit
Realty, L.P. to Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC subject to, and contingent upon the
execution of the attached Acknowledgment of Lease Terms and Guarantor
Acknowledgment of Guaranty.
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Estoppel Certificate and Consent, the
Second Amendment to the Due Diligence and Recreation Ground Lease
Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Centercal LLC, and the
corresponding First Amendment to Memorandum of Lease, on the condition that
the assignment of the sublease occurs on or before January 30, 2024, provided
the documents are in a form substantially similar to the drafts attached to the
Council Agenda Report and are approved by the City Attorney.
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
•C7iT�
BACKGROUND:
On February 6, 2021, the City of El Segundo and ES Centercal, LLC ("Centercal")
entered into the Due Diligence and Recreation Ground Lease Agreement pursuant to
which the City leased the Lakes Golf Course and adjacent property to Centercal (the
"Lease"). The Lease obligated Centercal to construct the Topgolf facility, complete
improvements to the golf course, and to operate both facilities. The Lease authorized
Centercal to sublease the premises to Topgolf USA El Segundo, LLC ("Topgolf USA")
Page 192 of 236
Topgolf Sublease Assignment and Associated Master Lease Amendment and
Estoppel Certificate
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 4
for the purpose of taking over the operations. Topgolf USA's obligations under the
Lease are guaranteed by TG Holdings I, LLC.
Paragraph 18.1 of the Lease prohibits Topgolf USA from assigning its sublease interest
without the City's consent unless the assignment falls into one of four specific
categories that are referred to as "Permitted Topgolf Transfers." The proposed
assignment does not qualify as a Permitted Topgolf Transfer. Consequently, the City's
consent to the assignment is required for it to be effective.
In May 2023, Topgolf formally requested the Council's consent to the assignment of
Topgolf USA's sublease interest to a different entity - 42 Real Estate, LLC - together
with a corresponding leaseback of the interest from 42 Real Estate, LLC to Topgolf
USA. Topgolf explained that the transaction was intended as a financing mechanism
that would allow Topgolf USA to free up capital for it to invest in its entire structure, not
just its El Segundo location. In addition to the proposed assignment, Topgolf requested
that the Lease be amended to extend the initial term by approximately 26 months. The
Lease provides for an initial term of 20 years that commenced on February 18, 2021.
The lessee then has six successive options to extend the term, each for a separate
period of five years each. Topgolf's proposed financing mechanism required it to assign
its sublease with a 20-year initial term. To accommodate this need, the amendment
would have extended the initial term of the Lease by approximately 26 months while
simultaneously reducing the length of the first option period by the same amount of
time, thereby having no net effect on the maximum overall term of the Lease. The City
Council approved Topgolf USA's request for consent, together with the corresponding
Lease amendment. However, the transaction between Topgolf USA and 42 Real Estate,
LLC was never consummated.
DISCUSSION:
Topgolf USA has found a new potential financing partner in Spirit Realty, L.P. and is
again requesting that the City Council consent to the assignment of Topgolf USA's
sublease interest and to an amendment of the Lease. However, Topgolf USA is now
requesting that the City Council agree to amend the Lease in two additional, substantive
ways that were not previously considered. First, Topgolf USA requests an amendment
that would allow Spirit Realty, L.P., or the then -current sublessee, the option to enter
into a direct lease with the City in the event that either Centercal terminates the Lease
or the City terminates the Lease as the result of a default by Centercal. The direct lease
would be on the identical rental and other terms and conditions in the Lease. The
Lease currently only gives Topgolf USA itself this option. The amendment would extend
this option to the current sublessee of Centercal (for example, Spirit Realty, L.P. if this
transaction is authorized by the Council). If the sublessee elects not to enter into a
direct lease with the City, then Topgolf USA would be given the option to do so.
Second, Topgolf USA is requesting that the Lease be amended to add another category
Page 193 of 236
Topgolf Sublease Assignment and Associated Master Lease Amendment and
Estoppel Certificate
December 5, 2023
Page 3 of 4
of "Permitted Topgolf Transfer" that would effectively allow the then -current sublessee
to assign its interest in the sublease to any entity that will sub -sublease the premises to
either Topgolf USA, and affiliate of TG Holdings (the guarantor of the Lease), or any
other entity approved by the City to be an operator of the premises in accordance with
the Lease. This new class of "Permitted Topgolf Transfer" would be subject to the
following conditions precedent:
The proposed sublease assignee would be required either to (i) enter into a new
or replacement sub -sublease agreement with the operator of the premises, or (ii)
keep the then -existing sub -sublease agreement in effect;
2. The proposed sublease assignee would be required to provide the City with
financial statements demonstrating the assignee's satisfaction of the applicable
financial requirements currently set forth in the Lease;
3. The City would need to provide a written acknowledgment that the conditions set
out in (1) and (2), above, are satisfied;
4. TG Holdings must execute and deliver an acknowledgment and restatement of
its Guaranty; and
5. The proposed sublease assignee must execute and deliver to City an
acknowledgment of the lease whereby the sublease assignee will agree that the
documents used to effectuate the transfer do not alter any terms or conditions of
the Lease.
As with the previous request, Topgolf is again requesting that the Lease be amended to
extend the initial term be extended (this time by approximately 34 months) to allow the
sublease to be assigned with a full 20-year initial term. The amendment would again
shorten the first option period by an equal amount of time, resulting in no net change in
the overall term of the Lease. The proposed amendments to the Lease will require an
amendment to the Memorandum of Lease on file with the County Recorder. A draft of
both amendments is attached hereto.
As was the case with Topgolf's previous consent request, the City Attorney's Office
asked Topgolf USA to respond to several questions regarding the nature, purpose, and
effect of the proposed transaction. Topgolf's responses are attached hereto.
Also attached is a document to be executed by Topgolf USA, Spirit Realty, L.P., and
Centercal wherein all said parties would irrevocably represent, warrant, acknowledge
and agree that the proposed assignment and leaseback would not in any way alter the
terms or conditions of the Lease. In addition, TG Holdings I, LLC, the guarantor of the
Lease obligations, was asked to prepare a document acknowledging that the proposed
Page 194 of 236

Estoppel Certificate
December 5, 2023
Page 4 of 4
assignment and leaseback, together with the amendment to the Lease, would not affect
or in any way diminish its guaranty obligations. Both documents have been prepared to
the satisfaction of the City Attorney and are attached hereto.
Representatives of both Topgolf USA and Spirit Realty, L.P. will be present at the
Council meeting to answer any additional questions the Council may have.

DUE DILIGENCE AND RECREATION GROUND LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO DUE DILIGENCE AND RECREATION GROUND LEASE
AGREEMENT (the "Second Amendment") is made this day of 2023, by and between THE

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee entered into that certain Due Diligence and Recreation Ground
Lease Agreement dated February 6, 2021 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Due
Diligence and Recreation Ground Lease Agreement dated February 15, 2022, the "Lease");

WHEREAS, Topgolf El Segundo and Spirit Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Spirit

and Sale Agreement"), for the assignment by Topgolf El Segundo of its leasehold interest in the Sublease
to Spirit Realty, L.P. (the "Assigm-nent");
WHEREAS, following such Assignment, Topgolf El Segundo and Spirit Realty, L.P. intend to
enter into a sub -sublease agreement whereby Spirit Realty, L.P. shall be sub-sublandlord and Topgolf El
Segundo shall operate the Premises as sub -subtenant (the "Sub -Sublease"); and
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to execute this Second Amendment in order to permit the
contemplated Assignment and operation of the Premises by Topgolf El Segundo under the Sub -Sublease
and amend such other terms of the Lease relating to the Assignment as described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration
(the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms not defined in this Second Amendment shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Lease.
2. Lease Term. The first sentence of Section 2.1 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:
Lease:
462.1 The "Basic Term" of this Lease shall begin and the Lessee's leasehold
interest shall become effective on February 17, 2021 (the "Premises Turnover Date")
and shall end on [ , 2043] (the "Initial Term End Date")."
Option Periods. The following language is hereby added to the end of Section 2.2 of the
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Option Period shall commence on the day
following the Initial Term End Date and will end on the twenty fifth (25t'') anniversary
of the Premises Turnover Date."
Page 223 of 236
4. Direct Lease. The third sentence of the third grammatical paragraph of Section 18.1.5 of
the Lease is deleted and restated in its entirety as follows:
"Lessor also agrees that in the event that either Lessee terminates this Lease or Lessor terminates
this Lease as a result of any Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor shall deliver written notice to each
of (i) Topgolf and (ii) Spirit Realty, L.P., or, in the case of a Permitted Topgolf Transfer or an
approved sublease in accordance with Section 18.1 of the Lease, the then current subtenant under
the Sublease (the "Subtenant") of such termination and shall first provide Subtenant with thirty (30)
days in which to determine whether to enter into a lease of the Premises (the "Subtenant Election
Period") on the identical rental and other terms and conditions as this Lease (a "Direct Lease"),
provided, that in the event Subtenant elects not to enter into a Direct Lease, Lessor shall then
provide Topgolf with thirty (30) days from the earlier of the date on which Subtenant delivers
notice electing not to enter into a Direct Lease and the expiration of the Subtenant Election Period
(the "Topgolf Election Period") in which to determine whether to enter into a Direct Lease (and
Lessor shall afford Subtenant or Topgolf, as applicable, the opportunity to enter into such Direct
Lease during the Subtenant Election Period or the Topgolf Election Period, respectively) which
shall take effect immediately upon termination of this Lease; provided that (i) in connection with
its execution and delivery of such lease, Topgolf, TopGolf Guarantor or Subtenant pays Lessor any
unpaid Rent owing by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease (as determined without regard to any
acceleration of or addition to any such Rents pursuant to Section 20.2.4 hereof) and cures any
existing defaults that are capable of being cured by a person or entity other than the Lessee, and (ii)
in the event that Lessee disputes any such termination of this Lease, and Lessor and/or Lessee bring
legal action to determine its rights hereunder, Topgolf, Subtenant and Operator shall have the right
to continue to occupy the Premises during the pendency of such legal action (provided they
continue to pay Rent and other sums to Lessor as they become due hereunder, as determined
without regard to any acceleration or addition to Rents pursuant to Section 20.2.4 hereof) and
Lessor shall first provide Subtenant and second provide Topgolf the right to enter into a Direct
Lease as described above, during the sixty (60) day period after a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that this Lease has terminated or Lessee agrees or otherwise concedes that this Lease
has terminated."
5. Permitted Topgolf Transfer. In addition to and without amending the existing categories
of "Permitted Topgolf Transfer" described in the second grammatical paragraph of Section 18.1.5 of the
Lease, a "Permitted Topgolf Transfer" shall also include the assignment of the Sublease by the then current
Subtenant to any entity that will sub -sublease the Premises to either Topgolf El Segundo, an Affiliate of
TGH, or any entity that is approved by Lessor under Section 18 of the Lease to be an Operator of the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of a
Permitted Topgolf Transfer under this section that each of the following requirements are met: (1) either
(x) the proposed assignee of the Sublease (the "Proposed Sublease Assignee") enter into a new or
replacement sub -sublease agreement, such as the Sub -Sublease Agreement by and between Topgolf El
Segundo and Spirit Realty, L.P., with the operator of the Premises to be executed simultaneously with the
Permitted Topgolf Transfer or, (y) the sub -sublease agreement then in effect, if any, continues to remain in
effect on and following the date the Permitted Topgolf Transfer becomes effective (each and collectively,
the "Operating Sub -Sublease Requirement"), (2) the Proposed Sublease Assignee provides Lessor with
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (the "Financial
Diligence") and other evidence reasonably requested by Lessor evidencing the Proposed Sublease
Assignee's satisfaction of the applicable requirements described in Section 18.1.4 (i) or (ii) of the Lease
(each and collectively, the "Transfer Requirements"), (3) Lessor provides its affirmative written
acknowledgment, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld, that such Transfer
Requirements and Operating Sub -Sublease Requirement are satisfied ("City Acknowledgment"), (4) TGH
shall execute and deliver to Lessor an acknowledgment and restatement of that certain Guarantee
PA
LEGAL02/4274364009
Page 224 of 236
Agreement by TGH dated February 6, 2021 (as amended or restated) ("Guaranty Restatement") in a form
reasonably acceptable to TGH and Lessor, and (5) the Proposed Sublease Assignee shall execute and deliver
to Lessor an Acknowledgment of Lease in such form reasonably acceptable to Lessor, whereby the
Proposed Sublease Assignee, Lessee, and then current Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the documents
used to effectuate the Permitted Topgolf Transfer under this section do not alter the terms or conditions of
the Lease. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Financial Diligence and a copy of the sub -sublease
agreement, Lessor shall either provide the Proposed Assignee with (I) the City Acknowledgment or (II)
written notice indicating that the Proposed Sublease Assignee has not satisfied the Transfer Requirements
or Operating Sub -Sublease Requirement to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction along with a detailed
explanation of why such Proposed Sublease Assignee does not meet the Transfer Requirements or
Operating Sub -Sublease Requirement (a "City Objection"); provided further, that if Lessor provides a City
Objection, the Proposed Sublease Assignee shall have the opportunity, for a period of twenty (20) days
following receipt of the City Objection, to provide additional information as it deems appropriate and as
reasonably requested by Lessor to Lessor and Lessor shall, within twenty (20) days of receipt of any such
additional information, or as soon as reasonably possible, provide a new written notice to the Proposed
Sublease Assignee regarding the satisfaction by such Proposed Sublease Assignee of the applicable
Transfer Requirements and Operating Sub -Sublease Requirement. In the event of a Permitted Topgolf

Agenda Heading: Staff Presentations
Item Number: D.19
TITLE:
Update and Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the Proposed Greenway Project
to be Located Along the Western Side of Aviation Boulevard Where a Railroad Line
Currently Exists
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive update presentation from the El Segundo Economic Development
Corporation ("ESEDC") regarding a proposed Regional Aviation Boulevard
Bikeway/Greenway Project, and associated funding options.
2. Approve a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") between the City and
ESEDC regarding City staff providing limited assistance in working with ESEDC

FISCAL IMPACT:
To date, no funding has been secured for the project.
BACKGROUND:
At the January 18, 2022, Council Meeting, the ESEDC made a presentation about
exploring a Bikeway/Greenway project. The proposed Regional Aviation Boulevard
Bikeway/Greenway Project involves converting the existing railroad right-of-way area on
the west side of Aviation Boulevard between Imperial Highway and El Segundo
Boulevard into a combined bikeway and green corridor, including a bike path, walking
path, trees, extensive landscaping, and other open space amenities. Please refer to
Attachment A for a Vicinity Map.
DISCUSSION:
Page 228 of 236
Greenway MOU
December 5, 2023
Page 2 of 2
As envisioned, this project would serve as a multi -modal connection to the Metro Green
Line Aviation Train Station to provide safe connectivity for both private sector
employees and residents. The bikeway will serve as the critically needed "first" or "last"
mile connecting Los Angeles International Airport to the South Bay bike path system.
This project will involve conceptual and planning phases as there are multiple
properties, right of way access, and design issues that must be considered. The
estimated cost is over
$10,000,000.
While funding has not been secured to date, ESEDC anticipates that funding will come
from a variety of sources, including Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority, federal government, state government, Los Angeles County, City of El
Segundo, private businesses, and other sources. Funding for recurring maintenance will
need to be determined as well and the Council has previously expressed that outside
funding should also be secured for this purpose.
The MOU provides that ESEDC will be spearheading the project and doing the majority
of the work for the project. Any grants funds accepted by the City for the project must be
approved by the City Council.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Goal 2: Support Community Safety and Preparedness
Objective 2A: El Segundo is a safe and prepared community.
Goal 4: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology
Objective 4A: El Segundo's physical infrastructure supports an inviting and safe
community.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AND EL SEGUNDO ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION REGARDING GREENWAY PROJECT
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into by and between the
City of El Segundo ("City") and El Segundo Economic Development Corporation
("ESEDC"). The City and ESEDC are at times referred to herein individually as a
"Parry" and collectively as the "Parties".
RECITALS:
A. The City and ESEDC desire to enhance amenities in the City, especially
bike paths, walking trails, and green spaces.
B. The City and ESEDC have identified an existing railroad right-of-way
area on the west side of Aviation Boulevard between Imperial Highway and El Segundo
Boulevard (the "Project Area"), as more specifically depicted in Exhibit "A", as an area
in the City that could be converted into a combined bikeway and green corridor,
including a bike path, walking path, trees, extensive landscaping, and other open space
amenities (the "Project").
C. The Project Area is owned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority ("Metro"), but is currently leased to BNSF Railway Company
(`BNSF") for use as a train storage area.
D. The Project would benefit the community by serving as a multi -modal
connection to the Metro Green Line Aviation Train Station to provide safe connectivity
for private sector employees, Wiseburn Unified School District and Da Vinci Charter
School students, local businesses, and residents. Moreover, the Project would also serve
as the critically needed "first/last mile connection" between the Metro Green Line
Aviation Train Station and the South Bay bike path system.
E. Metro has identified safe and accessible "first/last mile connections" as
critical to its mission to make it easier to travel in Los Angeles, including for riders who
walk, bike or roll to and from their nearest station or bus stop. Accordingly, Metro
actively aims to fund "first/last mile connection" projects through various funding
programs, including, but not limited to, its Metro Active Transport and First/Last Mile
(MAT) Program (the "Metro Funding"), and supports the conversion of Project Area.
F. Given that there are multiple properties, right of way access, and design
issues involved in the Project, the Project will require significant funding for
development, but the Project is currently unfunded.
G. ESEDC and the City have identified Metro Funding as a potential source
of funding for the Project.
