SPECIFIC PLAN (ESSCSP) TO MODIFY PERMITTED USES, SETBACK
REQUIREMENTS, AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS REGARDING
PARKING AND LOADING FOR PHASE 1 IN THE ESSCSP AREA.
(Environmental Assessment No. EA-1348 and Specific Plan
Amendment No. ASP 23-01).
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:

regarding the Ordinance; and
K, This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence
presented to the City Council at its April 16, 2024 hearing and the staff report
submitted by the Community Development Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that adopting the
proposed Ordinance would result in the following:
A. Amend Table IV-1 Allowable Uses of the ESSCSP, adding surface parking lots
as a permitted use as it corresponds to the Phase 1 area of the
Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) District;
B. Amend Subsection B.3 (Setback Development Standards) of Section VI
Development Standards, adding setback standards for lots with frontage on the
portion of El Segundo Boulevard located east of the future extension of
Continental Boulevard and west of the future extension of Nash Street;
C. Amend Subsection D.3 (Parking and Loading Standards), adding language to
exclude Phase 1 area from the 20% threshold standard to meet required
parking via off -site parking lots or structures;
D. Add Subsection DA (Parking and Loading Standards), adding required parking
and off -site parking standards for Phase 1 area,
E. Amend Subsection D.5 (Parking and Loading Standards), allowing parking lots
to service multiple lots or buildings with a retail and restaurant use in ESSCSP
Phase 1 area within the CMU district subject to the recordation of reciprocal
parking and access easements or covenants in conjunction with final map.
SECTION 3: Specific Plan Amendment Findings. As required under Government Code §
65854 and ESMC § 15-27-3 and based on the findings set forth in Section 2, the City
Council finds as follows:
A. That the amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
ORDINANCE NO. 1658
PAGE 2 of 10
The ESCSP serves as the General Plan document for the El Segundo
South Campus area. The ESSCSP was found to be consistent with the
City's General Plan when originally adopted, and the proposed specific plan
amendment is consistent with the Specific Plan's vision, goal, and
objectives. The specific plan amendment is consistent with and implements
the primary ESCSP goal to create, maintain, and implement a business
climate that fosters a strong economic community, develop a strategic plan
that will result in business retention and attraction, provide an effective level
of City services to all elements of the community, and maintain the quality
of life that has characterized El Segundo for more than nine decades.
Specifically, the proposed amendments are consistent with General Plan's
Economic Development Element Objective ED1-2 which seeks to "Center
diversification efforts on targeted industries that meet the City's criteria for
job creation, growth potential, fiscal impact, and fit with local resources"
because the existing uses within the Campus will continue to create job
opportunities and seek balance between growth, local resources, and
infrastructure capacity. The Project site will continue to physically be
suitable for the existing buildings and structures as the proposed
amendments do not create any non -conformities with the existing
Commercial Development; which will continue to meet the General Plan
Land Use Element Objective LU4-4 which seeks to "Provide areas where
development has the flexibility to mix uses, in an effort to provide synergistic
relationships which have the potential to maximize economic benefit,
reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian environments." The
proposed Specific Plan amendments will continue to help guide the existing
commercial development activities within the CMU district and ensure
landscaping in parking areas and around the buildings are permanently
maintained through the recordation of covenants, conditions, and
restrictions.
The existing development allowed under the Specific Plan will continue to
provide a basis for a positive contribution to the maintenance and expansion
of El Segundo's economic base as development typically increases the
City's business license taxes, increases the City's utility user taxes,
increases the City's property taxes, and increases the City's sales taxes
which enhances the General Plan Economic Development Element policy
ED1-2.1 as it seeks to "expand El Segundo's retail and commercial base so
that the diverse needs of the City's business and residential communities
are met." An increased economic base will provide the City with resources
to provide high -quality services to its residents and daytime population.
B. The amendment is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and
general welfare.
The specific plan amendments will help achieve the primary ESCSP goal to
facilitate the revitalization of commercial areas by making them viable,
ORDINANCE NO. 1658
PAGE 3of10
attractive, and people -oriented commercial districts. The Amendments
provide development standards tailored for Phase 1 area of the ESSCSP
and the proposed modifications do not interfere with the existing commercial
center development at the site which will continue to provide an
aesthetically pleasing and attractive commercial district and comply with
General Plan Circulation Element Policy C2-1.6 as its design will continue
to ease pedestrian access. Thus, the amendments will continue to
transform the Campus into an economic force, which is consistent with and
necessary to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare. In
addition, there is no evidence indicating that any of the proposed
amendments will have a detrimental impact on public health, safety, and
general welfare.
SECTION 4: Environmental Assessment. The City Council finds and determines as
follows:
A. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the El Segundo South
Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) (EA-905) pursuant to 14 California Code
of Regulations, § 15063 ("CEQA") and was certified on December 15, 2015.
Pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations, § 15162 ("CEQA"), no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for the project for the following reasons:
(1) the proposed amendments do not propose any new development and
no changes will occur to the existing Phase 1 development; 2) since no
development is proposed with the amendments, there will be no new
environmental impacts beyond what the previous certified EIR identified;
and, 3) the amendments to the Specific Plan will not result in or allow
additional development beyond what was previously approved at the site.
Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the
amendments may have a significant effect on the environment.
B. As detailed in Section 3, the proposed Ordinance amending the ESSCSP
includes minor modifications to use regulations, setback regulations, and
parking regulations.
C. There are no substantial changes proposed for the project that will require
preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified effects.
D. The proposed Ordinance will not result in a Specific Plan that is substantially
different from the plan evaluated in the EIR, and the environmental
circumstances applicable to the Specific Plan area have not changed.
SECTION 5: Table IV-1 Allowable Uses in Section VI. Development Standards A.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSC-SP) area is located in the City of El Segundo,
County of Los Angeles, California. El Segundo is situated 15 miles southwest of downtown Los
Angeles. The City of El Segundo is located south of the City of Los Angeles, west of the City of
Hawthorne and the County of Los Angeles, north of the City of Manhattan Beach, and the east of
the City of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean (refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Vicinity Map).
More specifically, the roughly 142.28 gross acre Campus site ("Campus") is located in the
southeast quadrant of the City of El Segundo, approximately 1.0 miles south of the Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) and the Glen Anderson Century Freeway (I -105), two miles west of
the San Diego Freeway (SR-405), and approximately two miles west of the juncture of these two
freeways. The Campus is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the north, the elevated MTA Line
and an older industrial subdivision on Coral Circle to the east, a Union Pacific Railroad spur and
the El Segundo sump to the south, and a Southern California Edison high voltage transmission
easement to the west (refer to Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity Map, and Exhibit 3, Local Vicinity Aerial
View). The adjacent zoning uses are: corporate office and mixed -use to the north, across El
Segundo Boulevard; light manufacturing to the east and south; and open space and public facility
to the west. A multi -media zone overlies the entire eastern half of the City, including the Specific
Plan Area.
B. BACKGROUND
In 1978 a Precise Plan was approved for Hughes (which merged with Raytheon Company in
December 1997) to build a total of 2,575,000 square feet of improvements on the Campus for a
FAR of 0.42. The Precise Plan project consisted of two main components — an office tower of up
to 16 stories to be located on the northwest portion of the Campus and a large low -profile complex
housing the engineering and manufacturing components. The approval allowed Hughes to
consolidate its corporate headquarters which was then in Culver City with its electro-optical data
systems group which was already located elsewhere in El Segundo. The Campus was chosen by
Hughes for the flexibility and consolidation potential made possible by the size of the property, the
proximity to other Hughes' facilities, and the proximity to LAX - considerations that remain
important today. Before the implementation of the Precise Plan, the Campus had been used
primarily for farming.

Through the years the Precise Plan went through several changes including moving the recreation
component from under the Edison Right -of -Way to the northwest portion of the Campus,
eliminating the corporate office tower which was planned for the northwest corner of the Campus,
and adding additional facilities. Up until 1983 there was no official "Precise Plan" map. With
Hughes' request to construct additional storage buildings in 1983, the City Council provided that
the plan that was submitted with the amendment request would be the official Precise Plan which
could only be modified with Planning Commission and City Council approval. In 1987, the City
Council approved the last modification of the Precise Plan. Today there are 11 structures on the
Campus, including the recreation facility, comprising approximately 1,802,513 square feet of net
development, for an FAR of approximately 0.29 (refer to Exhibit 4, Existing Development). The
current net square footage is broken down as follows between uses:
Office 1,018,959 s.f.
Laboratory 303,825 s.f.
Manufacturing 373,634 s.f.
Warehouse 106,095 s.f.

EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
Page 6
October 2015
Under the existing approvals, only an additional 215,390 net square feet can be built for a total
FAR of 0.325. With this FAR, the Property is extremely underdeveloped as both the General Plan
and zoning for similar light industrial uses allow a 0.60 FAR as of right. Further, the El Segundo
Municipal Code (ESMC) was recently amended to clarify that the FAR is based on net square feet
of development in the light manufacturing zone. Currently the Campus is built close to the
maximum FAR currently allowed. The limitations caused by the Precise Plan have caused
Raytheon to utilize property in other areas for its operations when the need arises. This creates
inefficiency and unnecessary costs, as well as results in economic losses for the City.
In order to make efficient use of the Campus, Raytheon filed for this Specific Plan in December
2011 along with other applications, including a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment,
and Tentative Map. The intent of the Specific Plan is to allow Raytheon to develop the Specific
Plan area with any combination of allowed uses provided that the FAR does not exceed a specified
development square footage (at a maximum FAR of 0.60 within the ESSCSP area) and the
specified peak hour trip ceiling on new development (26,585 daily trips, 3042 a.m. peak hour trips
and 3120 p.m. peak hour trips). The adoption of this Specific Plan will allow Raytheon to expand
its operations, invest in the City of El Segundo, and make use of its property in a manner similar
to adjacent properties.
C. DEMOGRAPHICS
According to the 2010 United States Census, as of 2010 El Segundo had a population of 16,654
persons and a total of 7410 dwelling units. From 2000 to 2010, El Segundo's population increased
by 4%. The 2009 Profile of the City of El Segundo prepared by the Southern California Association
of Governments ("SCAG") indicates that as of 2008 there were 53,715 jobs in the City of El
Segundo, which was 1.3% lower than the 2003 level. Raytheon employs approximately 7,000 of
these employees. During the period from 2003 to 2008 there was a 13.2% decrease in
manufacturing jobs although manufacturing jobs remain the largest sector of jobs in the City.
D. ECONOMIC CONTEXT
El Segundo has a daytime population of approximately 85,000 persons compared to its resident
population of approximately 17,000 persons. Through the years El Segundo has steadily moved
away from heavy industrial and manufacturing uses towards more diversified commercial and
professional uses. With the exception of the Chevron Refinery and the Air Products Chemical
Plants, most heavy industrial uses have relocated outside of the City. El Segundo is home to many
major corporations including Raytheon, Boeing, Chevron, Computer Sciences Corporation,
DirecTV, Mattel, Xerox, Time Warner Cable, The Aerospace Corporation, and Northrop
Grumman. Raytheon is the City's largest employer.
Over the past few years there has been a net loss of jobs in the City. The potential for additional
businesses and jobs that may be created by this Specific Plan will improve the overall economic
health of the City, allowing the City to provide a high quality of municipal services to the benefit
of the City's resident and business community.

II. OVERVIEW Off' THE SPECIFIC PLAN
A. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY OF SPECIFIC PLAN
The purpose of this Specific Plan is to provide a foundation for the proposed land uses on the
subject property through the application of regulations, standards and design guidelines. The El
Segundo South Campus Specific Plan provides text and exhibits which describe the proposed land
uses and associated guidelines.
This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to Government Code §§ 65450 through 65457.
Pursuant to Government Code § 65450, a Specific Plan must include text and a diagram or
diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space
within the area covered by the plan.
The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of
public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal,
energy and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the land area
covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the
conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
• A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public
works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items.
• A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
A thorough review of the El Segundo General Plan shows that this Specific Plan is compatible and
consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. This Specific Plan will further
the goals and policies of the General Plan as more fully described below.
This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the essential relationship between the policies of the El
Segundo General Plan and actual development in the Project area. By functioning as a regulatory
document, the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan provides a means of implementing the City
of El Segundo's General Plan. All future development plans and entitlements within the Specific
Plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in this document.
Page 9 October 2015
B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS
The City of El Segundo is an employment -led community and accordingly, development has been
led by employment rather than housing growth. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan will
serve the mission of economic development in the City which is to create, maintain, and implement
a business climate that fosters a strong economic community, develop a strategic plan that will
result in business retention and attraction, provide an effective level of City services to all elements
of the community, and maintain the quality of life that has characterized El Segundo for more than
nine decades.
Permitted uses within the Campus will create job opportunities and seek balance between growth,
local resources, and infrastructure capacity. Additionally, the growth allowed by the Specific Plan
will create a synergy with other uses in the area and help those businesses to grow as well. The
development allowed under the Specific Plan will provide a basis for a positive contribution to the
maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic base as development typically increases the
City's business license taxes, increases the City's utility user taxes, increases the City's property
taxes, and increases the City's sales taxes. An increased economic base will provide the City with
resources to provide high -quality services to its residents and daytime population.
C. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The El Segundo General Plan provides the underlying fundamentals of the El Segundo South
Campus Specific Plan, which serves both as a planning and regulatory document. The Specific
Plan is the document implementing the El Segundo General Plan for the Campus area.
Proposed development plans or agreements, tentative tract or parcel maps, and any other
development approvals must be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects consistent with this
Specific Plan will be automatically deemed consistent with the General Plan.
The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan requires a General Plan Amendment that changes
the Land Use Designation from Light Industrial, Public Facility and Open Space to El Segundo
South Campus Specific Plan with an accompanying Land Use map change. With approval of this
amendment, the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan of the City of El Segundo. More
specifically, the Specific Plan directly implements or furthers the intent of the following goals,

comprehensive, site planning of the Campus.
3. Uses permitted within the Campus are consistent with prior zoning and compatible
with adjacent uses.
Page 16 October 2015
E. EXISTING LAND USES
The City of El Segundo has distinctive land use patterns, which are divided into four quadrants by
the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard, Compatibility of an individual
land use: is determined mainly by its relationship to other uses within its quadrant. The El Segundo
South Campus Specific Plan area is located in the southeastern quadrant of the City of El Segundo,
which is east of Sepulveda Boulevard and south of El Segundo Boulevard. The design and
implementation of this Specific Plan relate directly to its position within this larger context.
The southeast quadrant of the City is primarily designated for light industrial which allows a
mixture of industrial and office uses. This quadrant also contains a commercial region which is
home to the retail development of Plaza El Segundo, an approximately 388,000 square foot
lifestyle retail center. The northeast quadrant of the City lies directly across El Segundo Boulevard
and consists primarily of corporate office and urban mixed uses which allow for office and
commercial uses. The southwest quadrant of the City lies directly across Sepulveda Boulevard and
consists primarily of oil refinery/heavy industrial use. A multimedia zone overlies both the
southeast and northeast quadrants of the City. Before the adoption of the El Segundo South Campus
Specific Plan (ESSC-SP) the property was designated primarily as Light Industrial in the General
Plan Land Use Element with Light Industrial zoning.
Adjacent land uses include the following:
North: Across El Segundo Boulevard, include mid- and high-rise office buildings with
multi -story parking structures and a hotel. LAX is located approximately 1.0
mile north of the Campus.
East: The adjacent land uses to the east include the elevated MTA Green Line and a variety
of one and two story industrial uses along Coral Circle. The El Segundo
Boulevard Green Line station is located at the northeast comer of the Campus.
South: A Union Pacific Railroad spur line lies immediately to the south and further to
the south, the Plaza El Segundo commercial center. Immediately to the
southwest of the Campus is a City of El Segundo Stormwater retention basin
and to the west of that are public storage units and a Federal Express distribution
facility.
West: Land uses to the west include the El Segundo Municipal Golf Course and the West
Basin Municipal Water District Water Recycling Facility. The Chevron
Refinery is located across Sepulveda Boulevard.

IIL. LAND USE PLAN
The Raytheon campus has been in place since the 1970s and has been modified and expanded
several times as the need arose. The existing Campus includes 1,802,513 square feet of mixed
development on the site's 142.28 gross acres, 13,624 square feet of which would be demolished as
part of the land use program. The project area, excluding the right -of-way of El Segundo
Boulevard, is 137.06 acres.
A. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Specific Plan establishes the general type, parameters and character of the development in
order to develop an integrated Campus that is also compatible with the surrounding area. The
Campus' proximity to freeways, major arterials, and the Metro Rail makes the Campus an ideal
location for the expansion of uses and is consistent with the City's desire to facilitate economic
development in El Segundo.
The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan development concept provides flexibility for
Raytheon to either expand its existing operations or develop a mixed -use project that would be
compatible with the existing Raytheon Campus facilities and operations. On an overall basis, the
maximum development potential within the 142.28 acre campus is based upon a floor area ratio
(FAR) of 0.60, resulting in a maximum development intensity of 3,718,889 net square feet.
Development of individual parcels may exceed 0.60 FAR as noted in the sections below.
In order to allow for maximum flexibility within the Specific Plan area, a Mixed Use concept is
utilized, with mechanisms in the Specific Plan's Development Regulation to allow for transfers
between land use types and planning areas, subject to the following requirements:
The overall FAR of the Campus cannot exceed 0.60 based on the gross acreage of
the site, resulting in a maximum development intensity of 3,718,889 net square feet
of building area;
2. Land uses conform to allowable uses as outlined in the Permitted Use Table in the
Development Standards section of this Specific Plan; and
3. The total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the trip ceiling established for the
Project. The trip ceiling for trip generation of new development within the Project
area is:
a. 631 PM peak hour inbound trips and 2,489 PM peak hour outbound trips, for a
total of 3,120 PM peak hour trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the
Project (refer to Appendix A).
b. 2,634 AM peak hour inbound trips and 408 outbound AM peak hour trips, for a
total of 3,042 AM peak hour trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the
Project (refer to Appendix A).
c. 26,585 daily trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the Project (refer
to Appendix A).
Page 19 October 2015
l,or area. For purposes of this Specific Plan, application of a floor area ratio results in net
building square footage. Gross floor area is the sum of the net floor area plus an additional twelve
percent (12%) of net floor area. The purpose of evaluating individual buildings proposed within
the Specific Plan area net floor area is defined in section VI.B.5.c of this Specific Plan.
B. LAND USE PLAN
The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan is based upon the following land uses (refer to
Exhibit 5, Land Use Plan):
1. Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU)
The Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation is located on parcels
fronting onto El Segundo Boulevard, consisting of lots 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, and 16, and totaling
approximately 24 acres. The CMU area allows for a wide range of office and commercial
uses consistent with the existing and planned Campus. However this area's frontage on El
Segundo Boulevard is most appropriate for commercial land uses such as office, retail,
restaurants, and fitness centers which require more visibility and the potential to attract
users from outside the Raytheon Campus.
The specific uses are limited in this land use category as shown in the Specific Plan's
development regulations in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing frontage to the
Campus along this high visibility corridor.
Anticipated floor area ratios along this frontage range from 0.25-1.81. Table III-1 shows
one potential scenario, based upon the conceptual site plan shown in Exhibit 6, Conceptual
Site Plan.
2. Office/Industrial Mixed Use (O/I MU)
The Office/Industrial Mixed Use (O/I MU) land use designation is comprised of the balance
of the development areas of the site, including the existing Raytheon Campus buildings.
This consists of lots 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17 and 18 and totals approximately
86.62 acres. This designation includes a full range of commercial, office, warehousing, and
light industrial land uses, allowing for new light industrial/R&D, office, and commercial
uses consistent with the existing Campus. This range of uses would facilitate an expansion
of the existing Campus or the sale of parcels for development by others.
Anticipated floor area ratios range from 0.22-2.2. Table III-1 shows one potential scenario,
based upon the conceptual site plan shown in Exhibit 6, Conceptual Site Plan.
The existing Raytheon Campus facility is located in the central portion of the
Office/Industrial Mixed Use area. This facility may continue to be fenced and gated to
secure its perimeter.
Page 20 October 2015
3. Recreation/Open Space (REGOS)
The Recreation/Open Space category includes the Project's private recreation facility,
identified as Lot 11 on Exhibit 6, as well as several small remnant and potential right -of-
way parcels along the properties eastern (Lots 20, 22, 23, and 24) and western (Lot 26)
edge, as shown on Exhibits 6 and 7).
The Specific Plan recreation facility includes 7.54 acres of private outdoor recreational
facilities for Raytheon employees. A field house building including showers, lockers and
restrooms would be provided as a required facility but is not counted as part of the Project's
FAR and square footage cap.
The recreation facilities provided on site must include at least three of the following:
Fields for baseball, soccer and/or other team sports
Tennis courts
Basketball courts
Handball courts
Volleyball courts

Trip Ceiling. A Trip Budget tracking system is a mechanism for managing the forecast vehicular
trips generated by the land use mix identified in Tables III-1 and III-2. The Trip Budget is defined
in Appendix "A" of this Specific Plan and is outlined in Table III-3 below.
The purpose of the system is to ensure 'that development can 'lie accommodated within, the planned
roadway capacity of the on -site and off site roadway systems and to allow maximurn flexibility of
land uses in keeping with the market and ongoing Raytheon facilities requirements.
The basis for the trip budget is the specification of a mix of uses within the Specific Plan area. The
budget establishes a baseline capacity of trips. Using assumed traffic generation rates for the uses
anticipated within the Project, the number of trips that would be generated at build -out of the plan
was estimated.
Table III-3
Project Trip Ceiling
for trips associated with new development
within the ESSCSP area.
Total Daily Trips
If a different mix of land uses is proposed at the time of Site Plan review, a trip budget table and
analysis would be provided as part of the Project submittal to allow for:
Confirmation that the proposed mix of uses falls within the maximum trip
allowance; and
City tracking of the land use mix within the Project.

C. PHASING
Development starts and occupancy rates are not mandated by any phasing schedule. Development
will be dictated by market demand and phased accordingly. The conceptual phasing schedule
identified below is a best estimate for planning purposes only.
Table IH4
Phasing
D. CIRCULATION PLAN
Regionally, the Campus is accessible from the San Diego freeway (405), Century Freeway (105),
the Metro Green Line, and the major arterials of El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard.
The Campus is directly accessible from El Segundo Boulevard at the intersections of Continental
Boulevard and Nash Street and is accessible off of Sepulveda Boulevard via Hughes Way. There
is a third access point located adjacent to the El Segundo Boulevard Metro Green Line station.
However, that access is gated. The internal circulation system of the Campus is currently private
and access is controlled by fencing, guard stations, and gates.
The development of the Specific Plan must provide for an efficient, internal roadway system that
will facilitate on -site circulation and parking. Access will be provided for emergency vehicles and
development within the Campus will provide infrastructure and facilitate access for various modes
of travel including automobiles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian. Connectivity in this part of the
City will also be provided in accordance with the City's General Plan. Pedestrian and handicap
access must be provided between buildings, to key elements in the surrounding area, and to the
nearby MTA Green Line station.
VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
El Sggllndo figglevard. El Segundo Boulevard is an existing public arterial that abuts the property
on its northern edge. An off-street "Class I" bicycle path will be designed and constructed
consistent with the requirements of the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan. The bicycle path may
diverge from running parallel to El Segundo Boulevard near the overhead green line overhead
alignment and enter the El Segundo Green Line Station south of any obstructions created by the
supports for the Green Line's elevated track.
Page 27 October 2015
A limited number of additional curb cuts may be allowed along El Segundo Boulevard to provide
direct access to the Campus, subject to the approval of the Director of Planning and Building Safety
and Director of Public Works as part of site plan review.
Wayamb Streel , xtension With the development of the Specific Plan, Hughes Way
will be connected with Nash Street through the south and eastern portions of the Campus (Parcel
19). The street will be dedicated to the City, for public right -of-way purposes as a Secondary
Arterial with a right-of-way width of 100 feast, including a 22-foot wide raised landscaped median.
Hughes Way extension will include a 6-foot wide on -street "Class II" bicycle lane consistent with
the South Bay Bicycle Plan. This street must be completed before a certificate of occupancy is
issued for any use which would cause the new development trip cap of 89 a.m. peak hour, 225
p.m. hour peak trips or 3775 daily trips to be exceeded.
The circulation pattern provides for future connection from the Nash Street extension to Coral
Circle (an easement through Parcels 20 and 22) and provides for additional parking for the Coral
Circle businesses (Parcels 20 and 22). 20-year irrevocable offers of dedication to Parcels 20 and
22 must be offered and may be accepted by the City at such time as the City acquires access rights
from the affected businesses along Coral Circle and enters into a contract for the construction of
the connecting street.
Confinenfal. The Circulation Plan calls for the extension of Continental Boulevard,
along the southwestern boundary lines, to its connection with Hughes Way. This street will initially
be private and gate controlled until such time as the first parcel taking access from the road is either
sold or leased for use by non -Raytheon parties. At that time a portion of the road (Parcel 21 or
Parcel 25 or both) will be opened to public access either through dedication to the City or
recordation of a public access easement. Continental Boulevard is designed as a Collector Street
with a right-of-way width of 80 feet, and a 14-foot raised median.
At the point where the future Continental Boulevard turns from an east -west direction to a north -
south direction, a parcel has been created (Parcel 26) which will allow access to the adjacent golf
course. Raytheon will provide a 20-year irrevocable offer of dedication for this parcel. This
dedication may be accepted by the City at such time the City permits circulation through the
adjacent golf course and Continental Boulevard is made accessible to the public.
Until such time as a street is accepted by the City, the street may be fenced, guarded or gated.
However, perimeter security will be relocated so as to provide unfettered access to all public
streets.
NON -VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Three non -vehicular circulation components are included within the Campus:
A 6-foot wide Class I bicycle path (4-foot one way path with 2-foot shoulder) is
required to be installed in a dedicated public easement adjacent to El Segundo
Boulevard (consistent with the South Bay Bicycle Plan). This path is illustrated in
the Landscape portion of the Specific Plan Design Guidelines.
Page 28 October 2015
A 6-foot wide Class II, on -street bicycle lane is included within the right-of-way of
the Hughes/Nash Street extension on each side of the street.
A pedestrian access easement across one or a combination of parcels 13, 14 and/or
parcel 24 of Vesting Map 71551 is required to allow direct pedestrian access to the
Green Line Station.
Improved bicycle parking facilities will be located at either the Metro Green -line station or on -
site, on land reserved for secured bicycle parking in close proximity to the Green -line station. This
facility, at a minimum, will include fully enclosed, secured parking for bicycles. The station could
also include other amenities for cyclists, such as: staffing, repair facilities, sales of bicycle related
materials, changing and or shower facilities, bicycle rental and/or bicycle sharing facilities.
E. GRADING CONCEPT
Site grading will require cut and fill to create building pads. The grading is expected to be balanced
on -site. Final grading plans will be approved by the City Engineer before the City issues a grading
permit.

IV. EXISTING UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The following is a summary of existing and proposed public infrastructure for development of the
site. Some private infrastructure may be converted to public infrastructure where appropriate and
if the City of El Segundo approves. All infrastructure will be constructed in accordance with the
standards of the governing agency.
A. WATER SERVICE
EXISTING CONDITION
Water utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and is currently available within the
Campus. Water is purchased through West Basin Municipal Water District which is a member of
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The current points of connection to the public water system are near the midpoint of the northern
and midpoint of the eastern property line. Connection is made with 12-inch service laterals to an
existing 27-inch diameter City of El Segundo water main line.
Water for fire suppression is provided by on -site building sprinklers and fire hydrant(s) and from
off -site fire hydrants located on El Segundo Boulevard.
PROPOSED CONDITION
The existing and future water service must be provided through a future public line or a private
line with private easement serving each lot. Location of lines in public streets is the preferred
condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement
must be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on the
City of El Segundo's approval and may include connections to existing 27-inch water main line in
El Segundo Boulevard, an existing 10-inch public water service in Hughes Way, or an existing 27-
inch public water service which lies within an existing City easement along the east side of the site.
Future water service points of connection will need to be provided to existing Raytheon buildings
to remaining and future buildings. A Conceptual Water Utility Plan has been developed for the
Specific Plan Area (refer to Exhibit 8, Water Plan).
Fire flows for future construction will be based on County of Los Angeles Fire Department Land
Development Unit standards, requiring up to 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) at 20 psi residual
pressure for up to a five -hour duration. Final fire flows will be based on specific building design
details.

B. RECLAIMED WATER
EXISTING CONDITION
Reclaimed water utility service is provided by the West Basin Municipal Water District from a
treatment plant just west of the Campus and is already being used for landscaping the Campus. A
current point of connection to the reclaimed water system for irrigation of landscaping along El
Segundo Boulevard is along El Segundo Boulevard at Continental Boulevard. Connection is made
with a 6-inch service lateral to an existing 42-inch diameter West Basin reclaimed water main line.
A sewer study was prepared by Psomas for the Specific Plan, dated September 2012. Please refer
to the full study for technical details on potential reclaimed water usage.
PROPOSED CONDITION
The existing and future reclaimed water service must be provided through a future public main line
or a private line with private easement serving each lot. Location of lines in public streets is the
preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an
easement will be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based
on West Basin Municipal Water District's and the City of El Segundo's input and may include
connections to an existing 8-inch reclaimed water service in Hughes Way and/or to an existing 42-
inch reclaimed water line in El Segundo Boulevard. New service points of connection will need to
be provided to the new parcels within the Campus. A Conceptual Reclaimed Water Utility Plan
has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 9, Reclaimed Water Plan).
C. SEWER SERVICE
EXISTING CONDITION
Sewer utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and County Sanitation District of Los
Angeles County and is currently available within the Campus. The Raytheon Campus presently
includes an 18-inch sewer line which connects to an existing 21-inch trunk sewer near the southeast
corner of the site. This trunk sewer continues northeasterly to Douglas Street, turns southerly along
Douglas Street to Alaska Avenue, runs easterly in Alaska Avenue to Hawaii Street and runs
southeasterly in Hawaii Street to Aviation Boulevard where it increases to a 24-inch trunk, runs
southerly for a short distance and then connects to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District
trunk in Aviation. From research of existing sewer plans, there are no connections to this trunk
sewer through this entire alignment as smaller, parallel lines collect all the sewage from the parcels
along this alignment. An existing 10-inch and 15-inch sewer line is also present in El Segundo
Boulevard generally east of Nash Street.

PROPOSED CONDITION
The existing and future sewer service must be provided through a future public sewer line or a
private line with private easement serving each lot. Location of lines in public streets is the
preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an
easement must be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be
based on the City's approval and may include connections to an existing 21-inch sewer located at
the southeast corner of the site and/or the existing sewer in El Segundo Boulevard. To serve the
new Project, approximately 8,000 linear feet of new public sewer is anticipated to be constructed
within the Project boundary. A conceptual sewer plan has been developed for the Specific Plan
area (refer to Exhibit 10, Sewer Plan).
D. DRAINAGE
EXISTING CONDITION
A drainage study was prepared by Psomas for the Specific Plan, dated September 2012. Please
refer to the full study for technical details.
The area drains in a northwest to southeast direction. Current points of connection to the City's
public drainage system exist at multiple locations along the eastern and southern Raytheon
property lines. The City's public drainage system consists of variable diameter (96 to 108 inches)
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain. The public main lines discharge into an existing City
of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin just south of the Raytheon site. Existing storm water
quality currently goes untreated on -site. However, downstream of the Project site runoff drains to
the City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin where it is captured and infiltrated.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map #06037C1770F shows this Project site is
located within Zone X, which is described to be an area determined to be outside of the 0.2%
annual chance floodplain. There are no Special Flood Hazards on -site.
PROPOSED CONDITION
Relatively minor off -site flows from El Segundo Boulevard and the property to the south will
continue unobstructed to combine with on -site flows. The Project area will continue to drain in its
existing northwest to southeast direction. Reconfiguration of site roadways and the replacement of
existing buildings and surface parking lots with new buildings and parking lots/structures will
result in changes to drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces. However, proposed
drainage sub -areas will closely match existing sub -areas in area, and potential increases in surface
runoff will be mitigated by Project design features. The average imperviousness of the site is
expected to decrease from 79.5% to 70.0%.
Page 35 October 2015
EXHIBIT 10
CONCEPTUAL SEWER PLAN
Source: Psomas
Revised per CC Resolution No. 5291
Page 36
October 2015
As each phase of the proposed Project is implemented, flows into the existing public storm drain
system will not increase. If the proposed Project results in a change in drainage pattern, an increase
in impervious area, or higher rates of flow, storm water detention will be part of the design to avoid
negative downstream impacts. Sub -drainage areas will continue to flow to the City of El Segundo
storm drain along the eastern and southern edge of the Project boundary.
The total proposed tributary area to be studied is less than 1 % larger than the existing tributary
area since portions of the Project area that formerly drained off -site will be redirected and managed
on -site. There will be no net increase in discharge of storin water from the site. The total proposed
tributary area is approximately 134.4 acres.
New storm drains will be required to serve the site redesign. To serve the proposed Project,
approximately 7,000 linear feet of new on -site storm drain lines are expected be constructed within
the Project boundary. The maximum pipe diameter is not expected to exceed 54 inches. On -site
detention is not expected to be required (refer to Exhibit 11, Drainage Plan).
Storm Water Quality
Existing storm water quality currently goes untreated on -site. The project site discharges into an
existing City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin just south of the Raytheon site. No
runoff leaves the City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin. However, the project site lies
within the Dominguez Channel watershed. The Dominguez Channel ultimately empties into the
consolidated slip of the Los Angeles Harbor.
To the maximum extent practical, storm water quality treatment will be provided with infiltration.
The treatment methods are expected to include infiltration wells, infiltration basins, high -
efficiency planter boxes, and surface planting areas. Drainage must comply with all applicable
laws and regulations, including without limitation, the City's National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
E. GAS
EXISTING CONDITION
Natural gas service is provided by Southern California Gas Company and is currently available
within the Campus.
PROPOSED CONDITION
The existing and future natural gas service must be provided through a future public main line or a
private line with private easement serving each lot.
Page 39 October 2015
Note: Storm Drain may be private or public. If public there will be an easement to the City.

Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving
multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement will be granted for access and maintenance.
Points of connection will be based on Southern California Gas Company's approval and may
include connections to existing 12-inch and 20-inch high pressure gas lines within El Segundo
Boulevard and/or an existing 4-inch service line along the easterly property line. A conceptual plan
has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibitl2, Electric, Gas and
Telecommunication).
F. ELECTRIC
EXISTING CONDITION
Electric power is provided by Southern California Edison to the Campus through underground
utilities.
PROPOSED CONDITION
Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving
multiple lots is not within a public street right-of-way, an easement will be granted for access and
maintenance. Points of connection will be based on Edison's approval. A future substation
location, reserved by an easement adequate in size for the placement of a SCE substation, is
identified on Parcel 5 (refer to Vesting Tentative Map No.71551). A conceptual plan has been
developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 12, Electric, Gas and Telecommunication).
G. TELECOMMUNICATIONS UTILITIES
EXISTING CONDITION
Cable and telecommunication service is provided by a variety of companies and is currently
available within the Campus. These companies include AT&T, Level 3, MCI (Verizon), Quest,
Time Warner, and XO Communications.
PROPOSED CONDITION
Location of lines in public streets or their rights -of -way is the preferred condition; where a public
line serving multiple lots is not within a public street or its right-of-way, an easement will be
granted for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on the requirements of
local providers. A conceptual plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit
12, Electric, Gas and Telecommunication).

H. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
EXISTING CONDITION
Solid waste disposal is provided to commercial and industrial users by a variety of private haulers.
FUTURE CONDITION
Development within the Campus would contract with a provider. Landfill capacity is adequate for
assumed population and commercial growth within Los Angeles County. Solid waste facilities
within the Specific Plan area will comply with all ESMC requirements pertaining to building, fire,
zoning codes (e.g., adequate trash enclosures and screening).
I. FIRE PROTECTION
EXISTING CONDITION
The Campus is less than one mile from Fire Station 2, located at Mariposa Avenue and Douglas
Street. The provision of water for fire suppression is provided by on -site building sprinklers and
fire hydrants and from off -site fire hydrants located on El Segundo Boulevard.
FUTURE CONDITION
Future development will include new public fire hydrants within the future public street connecting
Hughes Way and Nash Street. Buildings will be sprinklered as required by the ESMC.
Development will be required to pay fire impact fees to off -set the additional demand for municipal
fire protection services as a result of the new development.
J. POLICE SERVICES
EXISTING CONDITION
Police services are provided by the El Segundo Police Department which is located at 348 Main
Street.
FUTURE CONDITION
Development will be required to pay police impact fees to off -set the additional demand for
municipal police services as a result of the new development.

V. DESIGN GUIDELINES
These design guidelines are intended as "guidelines" instead of "development regulations,"
Consequently, strict compliance is not required. To promote the quality of design planned for this
Project, the design guidelines given in this document establish criteria that enhance the
coordination, organization, function and identity of the site, while maintaining a compatible
relationship with the surrounding development of the El Segundo South Campus.
A. DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND INTENT
Design Guidelines for the South Campus Specific Plan will promote and reinforce the City's
commitment to high quality development. The objectives of these guidelines are to:
• Provide for high -quality, large scale commercial/industrial development within a
cohesive campus setting.
0 Promote orderly and predictable development.
Encourage individual creativity and innovative solutions by allowing flexibility in
how a particular guideline is met as long as the intent of the guideline is achieved.
• Ensure functional pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle circulation within the
Project and convenient pedestrian and bicycle linkages to and from adjacent
residential, commercial, industrial, and school areas.
1. Site Planning
a. The arrangement of new buildings, parking and circulation areas should
recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should create an
identity as a cohesive campus.
b. Site development should utilize variations on building orientation and
landscaping adjacent to the public streets so that a monolithic "wall" of
building faces is not created.
c. The design and location of accessory buildings (c,g,, security kiosks,
maintenance buildings, trash and recycling enclosures, and outdoor
mechanical equipment enclosures) should be incorporated into and be
conipatible with the overall design of the Project and the main buildings on
the site.
Page 43 October 2015
d, Appropriate linkages between internal
Project components and buildings, as well as
between the Project and the surrounding
development should be incorporated,
including pedestrian walkways, and plaza
areas.
e.
Buildings should be arranged to create
opportunities for open space amenities (e.g.,
plazas, courtyards, outdoor eating areas, public art, etc.).
2. Access and Parking
a. The use of common (shared) access points and driveways is encouraged;
placement of vehicle access points close to building entries should be
avoided to minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflicts.
b. Entry driveway areas should be clearly marked by special features, (e.g.,
enhanced paving, prominent landscape features, low -height decorative
walls, and well -designed monument -type signs).
C. Access to each building should be clearly visible to pedestrians and
motorists through the use of signage, color, and/or design elements.
d. Parking lots adjacent to and visible from public streets should be
appropriately screened to minimize undesirable visual impacts.
e. Parking lots should not be a dominant visual element on the site from El
Segundo Boulevard or the Nash Street extension.
f. Surface parking areas should be enhanced and visually broken up through
the use of appropriate trees and landscape improvements.
g. Surface parking areas should be divided into smaller multiple lots and
provided with canopy trees spaced appropriately throughout the parking
area to reduce the effects of heat gain.
h. Parking lot design is encouraged to include water quality storm water
facilities consistent with City standards and a Water Quality Management
Plan prepared for each phase.
Page 44 October 2015
3. Architecture/Orientation/Massing
a. The massing, scale and architectural style should consider compatibility
with the surrounding character and existing buildings to reflect a cohesive
campus character.
b. The orientation of the newly constructed buildings should facilitate and
encourage pedestrian activity and convey a visual link to the Project's
internal road system.
The mass and scale of new buildings should be compatible with the existing
and adjacent structures and with each other. This can be accomplished by
transitioning from the height of adjacent buildings to the tallest elements of
the new building, stepping back the upper portions of taller buildings, and
incorporating human scale elements, such as pedestrian scaled doors,
windows, and building materials on the ground floor.
d. Buildings should be divided into distinct massing elements and should be
articulated with architectural elements and details. Changes in height,
horizontal plane, materials, patterns and colors should be used to reduce
building scale and mass.
e. Primary building entries should be easily identified through the use of
prominent architectural elements, signage, landscaping, decorative
hardscape, lighting, canopies, roof form, architectural projections, columns,
vertical and/or horizontal elements, and other design features that help
emphasize a building's entry.
f. Building elevations, whether front, side, or rear, that are visible from public
rights -of -way should be architecturally detailed to incorporate quality
materials and architectural features that reflect the theme of surrounding
structures and facades. Buildings facing El Segundo Boulevard should
include enhanced and articulated facades. Building entrances should be
readily identifiable. The use of recesses, projections, columns, and other
design elements to articulate entrances is encouraged.
g. Facades should be `divided' by vertical and horizontal variations in wall
planes, building projections, door and window bays, and similar elements.
Building articulation should be present on the side and rear walls of the
building.
Page 45 October 2015
h, Roofs should be designed as an integral component of building form, mass,
and facade. Building form should be enhanced by varying and offset roof
planes, eave heights, and rooflines.
Green roofs and rooftop gardens are allowed to add landscaping, decrease
the heat island effect of large expanses of flat roofs, retain and filter storm
water run-off, and to reduce energy demand for heating and cooling
buildings. Green roofs are encouraged, but not required.
j. The exterior surfaces of buildings for the ground floor must be protected
with anti -graffiti coating where appropriate.
4. Color and Materials
a. Colors and materials should be consistent and complementary throughout
the Project area.
b. Exterior materials and architectural details should complement each other
and should be stylistically consistent.
C. Building materials must be durable and resistant to damage, defacing, and
general wear and tear. Acceptable building materials may include concrete,
stone masonry, metal, stucco, glass andJor other contemporary composites.
d. Building materials that support sustainability through the use of
environmentally sound building materials and local resources (e.g., locally
available, contain high recycled -content, are reused, come from renewable
sources, and that contain low volatile organic compound (VOC) levels) is
highly encouraged.
5. Screening and Mechanical Equipment
a. All screening devices must be compatible with the architecture, materials
and colors of the building.
b. Loading docks, bays and parking spaces, delivery service areas, outdoor
storage areas, stand-alone mechanical equipment facilities, should be
located and designed to minimize their visibility, circulation conflicts and
adverse noise impacts. These facilities must be oriented so that they do not
face any public or private rights -of -way. Sound attenuation walls must be
used where appropriate to reduce noise where required by code or the
Project's environmental analysis.
Page 46 October 2015
c, Utility and mechanical equipment must be screened from view of public
streets and nearby buildings on all sides with landscaping and/or
architectural elements.
d. Rooftop mounted equipment visible from the surrounding area,, adjacent
buildings, and any public or private rights-ol'-w,ay must be screened from
public view and equipment should be painted to match the roof color when
equipment is visible.
e. Trash and recycling receptacles areas
must be completely screened from public
view from public and private rights -of -
way with a combination of solid walls,
wood, and landscaping.
Ground mounted enclosures must be
protected with anti -graffiti coating.
Trash enclosures with
6. Parking Structures architectural screening elements
a. Parking garages should be designed to help reduce the mass and scale of the
garage and to ensure their compatibility with surrounding uses.
b. Parking garages should be designed to conceal the view of vehicles in the
garage through a combination of screen walls and plantings while providing
adequate visibility for security purposes.
c, The exterior elevations of parking structures should be designed to avoid a
monotonous, monolithic appearance. This can be accomplished through a
menu of options as follows:
Minimize horizontal and vertical banding by balancing both

law and that such changes do not involved deviations from the design's
intent.
4. Site Plan Review Criteria
The purpose of the Site Plan Review procedure is to ensure that the development provides
a cohesive visual identity and coordinated design character for the Specific Plan area of
high quality. The overall coordinated design character must be expressed in the site
planning, architecture, landscaping, lighting, and signage. The architectural design is to be
compatible in character, massing and materials consistent with the conceptual plan depicted
in this Plan.
In approving the Site Plan Review the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal,
must consider the following factors:
a. The dimensions, shape and orientation of the parcel;
b. The placement of buildings and structures on the parcel;
C. The height, setbacks, bulk and building materials;
d. The building materials and design;
e. The distance between buildings or structures;
f The location, number and layout of off-street parking and loading spaces;
g. The internal vehicular patterns and pedestrian safety features;
h. The location, distribution, amount and type of landscaping materials and the
sustainability of the landscaping material with the El Segundo climate in
compliance with the applicable climate zone;

E. AMENDMENT
In accordance with the Government Code §§ 65450-65457, Specific Plans must be prepared,
adopted and amended in the same manner as General Plans except that Specific Plans may be
adopted by resolution or by ordinance.
This Specific Plan may be amended as necessary by ordinance. Said amendment or amendments
do not require a concurrent General Plan amendment unless the Director of Planning and Building
Safety determines that the proposed amendment would substantially affect General Plan goals,
policies, objectives or programs.
F. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE
The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan and related entitlements were approved in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines
(Guidelines), and City policies adopted to implement the CEQA and the Guidelines.
An Environmental Impact Report was prepared and certified by the City Council which establishes
the development thresholds shown in Table VII-1 below.
Table VII-1
California Environmental Quality Act Compliance
The CEQA clearance indicated above analyzes the effects of 1,930,000 net square feet of
incremental development by the Project , 13,624 of which is anticipated to be replacement of
existing facilities with allowed uses.
Any portion of the Project that is developed consistent with the Conceptual Site Plan evaluated
for this Specific Plan is exempt from further CEQA analysis unless an event specified in Public
Resources Code § 21166 occurs as to the Specific Plan.
Page 78 October 2015
APPENDIX A
El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Trip Generation
Dates, Credits, and Caps
The following two tables are to provide data for maintaining a trip inventory analysis for the build -
out of the Specific Plan. A table maintaining a cumulative accounting of total square footage by
land use as well as the cumulative number of A.M. and P.M. peak hour trips generated by new
development within the Specific Plan area must be generated by the project applicant and verified
by the City. The trip inventory must be updated and submitted upon the filing of site plan review
application and verified before a building permit is issued.
The traffic -generating characteristics of most of the components of the Project are identified in the
Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, 91h Edition.
With mixed -use projects there are many opportunities for interaction amongst the various uses.
The interaction is likely to reduce the number of trips entering and leaving the site ("internal
capture"). Additionally, many of the individual uses will attract vehicles already on the
surrounding street network ("diverted/pass-by"). These are trips that are already on the roadway
network and are diverted to the Project. Furthermore, since the Specific Plan is adjacent to the El
Segundo Metro Green Line station, the following table takes into consideration credits for transit
usage, as well as for "internal capture" and "diverted/pass-by."
