Receive and file staff report regarding the status of the emergency repairs to the storm drain pipe and sewer line on Grand Avenue, west of Indiana Street. 2. Adopt a motion by four -fifths vote to determine the need to continue emergency action approved under Resolution No. 5503. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: City Council appropriated $100,000 to account #001-400-4302-6215 (General Fund - Repairs & Maintenance) at the September 3, 2024 City Council meeting and an additional $130,000 to account #502-400-8004-8647 (Sewer Fund - Sewer Main Repair) for the repair of the sewer line at the October 1, 2024 City Council meeting. No additional appropriations are needed at this time. BACKGROUND: After authorizing the award of a contract without public bidding due to an emergency, state law requires that the City Council review the emergency action at each regular meeting thereafter. If the Council determines by four -fifths votes that there is a need to continue the emergency action, then such work may continue. DISCUSSION: On September 3, 2024, the City Council adopted a Resolution No. 5503 to declare an emergency, under Public Contract Code §§ 20168 and 22050, due to a sinkhole caused by a crack developed on a storm drain lateral pipe, and approved the award of a Page 26 of 206 Continue Emergency Action for the Repair of the Storm Drain Pipe on Grand Avenue October 15, 2024 Page 2 of 3 contract to Williams Pipeline Contractors to effectuate the necessary repairs. State law requires the City Council to review the emergency action at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four -fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action. Staff provides this report and associated presentation to facilitate the mandated emergency review. The work began on repairing the storm drain lateral pipe, including excavating to a depth of approximately 20 feet to uncover the damaged pipe. The repair of this pipe was completed on September 6, 2024. During the back -filling work associated with the project, it was then discovered that the existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main located approximately 6 feet underground above the storm drain lateral was vertically displaced for a length of 140-feet. The replacement of this pipe began shortly after and was completed on October 4, 2024. It is anticipated that the pavement will be fully restored by the time this staff report is considered by the City Council on October 15, 2024. Staff finds that the underlying emergency declared under Resolution No. 5503 persists until the City accepts the repair work as complete, and recommends that the City Council, by four -fifths vote, determine the need for the previously approved emergency action. This higher vote threshold is mandated by Public Contract Code § 22050(c).

PREPARED BY: Arianne Bola, Sr. Engineer Associate REVIEWED BY: Elias Sassoon, Public Works Director APPROVED BY: Barbara Voss, Deputy City Manager ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: CC RESOLUTION 5503 Page 27 of 206 Continue Emergency Action for the Repair of the Storm Drain Pipe on Grand Avenue October 15, 2024 Page 3 of 3 Page 28 of 206 RESOLUTION NO. 5503 A RESOLUTION ADOPTED PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE § 20168 FINDING THAT AN EMERGENCY HAS EXISTED WITHIN THE CITY, AUTHORIZING CONTRACTING WITHOUT THE NEED FOR BIDDING PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE § 22050 The City Council does resolve as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. Pursuant to Public Contracts Code § 20168, the City Council may, upon a four -fifths vote, declare that public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property because of an emergency. & In accordance with Public Contracts Code §§ 20168 and 22050, the City Council may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts. C. On August 15, 2024, a sudden, unforeseen collapse occurred on a City storm drain line located in Grand Avenue approximately 10-ft west of the intersection of Grand Avenue and Indiana Street. D. In compliance with applicable law, and to protect public, health, safety and welfare, the City took immediate emergency action to cause the storm drain to be repaired beginning on August 15, 2024. E. The utility line collapse created a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger to City property, its citizens, and employees. This threat required immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of essential public services. F.. Under such emergency conditions, the City Council finds that the delay resulting from public bidding would imperil essential public services. SECTION 2: Approval; Delegation. The City Council approves the expense of $100,000 from the General Fund for the time and materials contracting cost required for the repairs required to remediate the emergency described in Section 1, above. The City Manager or designee is authorized to execute agreements or other associated documents, in forms approved by the City Attorney, to effectuate the necessary repairs. RESOLUTION 5503 PAGE 1 of 3 Page 29 of 206 SECTION 3: In light of the emergency described above, the City Council directs the City Manager, or designee, to take all steps necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare including, without limitation, awarding and signing contracts in accordance with Public Contracts Code § 22050. SECTION 4: This Resolution will become retroactively effective immediately upon adoption and remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent resolution. SECTION 5: Pursuant to Public Contracts Code § 22050(c), the City Council will review this emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the work described above is completed. The Council must determine by a four -fifths vote that there is a need to continue the work at each meeting or terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant.

Waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance amending El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan to change Lot 14's land use designation from Commercial/Office Mixed Use to Office/Industrial Mixed Use and finding that the project does not require preparation of a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report or negative declaration, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines §§ 15162 and 15163. 3. Schedule a second reading of the ordinance for the November 5, 2024 regular City Council meeting or as soon thereafter it may be considered. 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: Page 32 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 2 of 11 On December 15, 2015, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 4958 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR or EIR), EA-905, for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP), State Clearinghouse No. 202101081. The City Council considered the EIR before approving the project in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15090. The Final EIR was prepared under the City's direction and reflects its independent judgment and analysis of the environmental impacts and comments received on the Draft EIR (DEIR). Written findings were considered for each of the significant environmental effects identified in the DEIR before certifying the Final EIR, which included an explanation of how mitigation measures lessened the significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. For the four environmental impacts that were identified in the DEIR as not mitigatable to a less than significant level (Land Use and Planning, Transportation and Traffic, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions), the findings provide an explanation of how proposed mitigation measures have substantially lessened each of the environmental effects. On December 15, 2015, the El Segundo City Council also adopted Resolution No. 4958 approving the ESSCSP. The specific plan establishes development standards and uses for the future build out of the Raytheon site. The intent of the specific plan is to create, maintain, and implement a business climate that fosters a strong economic community. 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 continue providing high -quality services to its residents and daytime population. On February 1, 2024, CDC Mar East Campus 2, LLC submitted applications for Environmental Assessment No. EA-1360 and Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 24-01 ("Project"), proposing to amend the ESSCSP land use designation for Lot 14 from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU). The proposed land use change would expand the permitted uses for Lot 14 to include data centers, general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, light industrial uses, and parking structures and surface parking lots, while continuing to mirror other uses already permitted in the CMU zone. Lot 14 is part of Phase II of the ESSCSP, and is currently not developed; the Project does not propose any new development as part of this request. In conjunction with the proposed amendments to the specific plan, the applicant retained Fehr and Peers to evaluate the potential traffic impacts associated with the proposed modifications to the ESSCSP. After information and technical studies were submitted, staff deemed the applications for EA-1360 and SPA 24-01 complete on August 1, 2024. The Project applications and plans were circulated to all City departments for comments, receiving Page 33 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 3 of 11 no objections. Further, City staff peer reviewed the findings and conclusions in Fehr and Peers' memorandum. Planning Commission Action On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and discussion. The Planning Commission discussed whether the amendments affect pedestrian activity and the overall vision for the Raytheon site, considering its proximity to retail and newly developed Chargers training facility. After a brief discussion, it was determined that the proposed amendments will not interfere with the adjacent fully developed lots because the amendments would enhance the development opportunities for the site by attracting additional uses. The proposed modifications help achieve the primary ESSCSP goal to facilitate the revitalization of the City east of Pacific Coast Highway by providing development standards specifically applicable to Lot 14 of the ESSCSP. By requiring discretionary actions for future development through a Site Plan Review and Administrative Use Permit, the City will ensure consistency and compatibility with existing and adjacent structures/zones. The Planning Commission, on a 3-0 vote (Chair Keldorf and Commissioner Inga absent), adopted Resolution No. 2956 recommending City Council approve Addendum No. 2 to the EIR approved under EA-905 to analyze the land use change of Lot 14 within Phase II of the ESSCSP Area pursuant to CEQA and adopted Resolution No. 2957 recommending City Council approve an amendment to the ESSCSP modifying land use designation of Lot 14 (of the ESSCSP) from CMU to 0/1 MU. DISCUSSION: The proposed project includes amendments to the existing Specific Plan document to change the land use designation of a specific lot, which requires amending the text, exhibits, and maps in the document. No new development is proposed with this request. The discussion below summarizes the proposed amendments to the specific plan, and the associated addendum to the EIR. Proposed Addendum No. 2 to the ESSCSP EIR Approved Under EA-905 Addendum No. 2 to the EIR has been prepared to analyze the proposed Project for consistency with the original ESSCSP EIR. The Addendum determined that the proposed Project would not have any new or detrimental impacts than previously identified in the original EIR. The proposed Addendum No. 2 demonstrates that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified during the preparation of the EIR for the original project remain substantively unchanged despite the proposed changes to the approved project and supports the finding that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §§ 15162 or 15163 are present that would require a subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative declaration. Page 34 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 4 of 11 Environmental Impact Report Addendum No. 2 Impact Findings The ESSCSP allows for transfers between land use types and planning area subject to certain requirements; specifically, the total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the trip ceiling established for the build -out of the Specific Plan area is 26,585 daily trips. The memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (attached hereto) assessed the proposed land use designation change which is intended to allow for three additional permitted land uses at Lot 14. The analysis compared the trip generation rates of the most intense permitted uses and the three uses currently not permitted, and concluded that there is no evidence the proposed changes to the ESSCSP are substantial, and will not result in significant impacts because the uses currently not permitted on Lot 14 have lower trip generation rates than the permitted uses. A comparison of trip generation rates shows that the proposed land use types to be permitted for Lot 14 generate lower daily trips, AM peak hour trips, and PM peak hour trips when compared to the most intense currently permitted office and retail land use types in the CMU district designation. The trip generation comparison demonstrates that the proposed new land uses are less trip intensive than what was previously analyzed to establish the site's trip ceiling. The amendment does not change the circulation and improvements required by the Specific Plan; thus, there are no new or increased significant impacts. The potential lowering of traffic generated by the change in use allowed on Parcel 14 would lead to a corresponding reduction in air emissions under the proposed changes. Although the addendum will change the land use district from CMU to 0/1 MU, the additional uses allowed are no more intense than what was already permitted, and any new uses will not change the 2015 EIR analysis and the impacts will continue to be less than significant with mitigation. The ultimate use of the development allowed on Parcel 14 does not change the analysis as to potential hazards. City Staff has independently peer -reviewed the Fehr and Peers memorandum dated July 1, 2024, and concurs with the methodologies and conclusions of the memorandum. As contained herein and specifically in the memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (attached hereto), no further environmental review is necessary other than the adoption of this Addendum to the original environmental assessment and Final EIR.

That the amendment is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The amendment is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare. The ESSCSP serves as the General Plan document for the El Segundo South Campus area. In 2015, the ESSCSP was found to be consistent with the City's General Plan when originally adopted. The specific plan amendment is consistent with and Page 39 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 9of11 implements the primary ESSCSP 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. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the amendments and adopted Resolution No. 2957 affirming the proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan, specifically with General Plan Land Use Element Objective LU44, 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 land use change will allow for a wider range of development to occur in Lot 14 while continuing to create job opportunities and seek balance between growth, local resources, and infrastructure capacity. Additionally, the proposed amendments are also consistent with the General Plan Economic Development Element Objective ED1-2 Policy ED1-2.2 which seeks to "maintain and promote land uses that improves the City's tax base, balancing economic development and quality of life goals." An increased economic base will provide the City with resources that the General Plan Land Use Element Policy Objective LU5-1 seeks to "Attract the kinds of industrial uses which will be economically beneficial to the community as well as enhance the environmental quality of the City." The existing parcel will continue to provide a basis for a positive contribution to the maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic base as it will continue to mirror its existing permitted uses under CMU which are also permitted in the requested land use designation 0/1 MU. The Amendments provide development standards specific to Lot 14 of the ESSCSP. The proposed modifications will help achieve the primary ESSCSP goal to facilitate the revitalization of the City east of Pacific Coast Highway and achieve General Plan Circulation Element Policy C2-1.6 to ease pedestrian access as it requires an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) and or a Site Plan Review for uses such as Data Centers, Surface Parking Lots and Parking Structures. By implementing a Site Plan and AUP process, the City encourages the construction of high -quality, well -designed industrial developments through adoption of property development standards and provisions of community services and utilities. 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. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR ORDINANCE Page 40 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 10 of 11 An Final EIR was prepared for the ESSCSP (EA-905) pursuant to CEQA and was certified on December 15, 2015 (State Clearinghouse No. 201201081). The proposed amendment to the ESSCSP was analyzed under CEQA and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations § 15000 et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"). Consequently, an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (EA-905) for the ESSCSP was prepared pursuant to CEQA in accordance with Public Record Resources Code § 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines §§ 15162 and 15163. The Addendum was adopted by the Planning Commission on September 12, 2024. The Addendum to the previously adopted FEIR demonstrated that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified during the preparation of the EIR for the original project remain substantively unchanged despite project revisions described herein, and supports the findings that the proposed project does not raise any new issues and does not exceed the level of impacts identified in the EIR. The project proposes changing the existing land use designation for Lot 14 (of the ESSCSP) from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU), which will result in additional allowed uses such as general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, data centers, parking structures and surface parking lots, and light industrial uses. However, the land use change and the additional permitted uses do not change the analysis in the EIR and the impacts would remain less than significant with mitigation. Further, the amendments will not change the development potential of the project site, and, therefore, they will not involve any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. Furthermore, no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following: (i) that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; (ii) that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerable different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects in the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Consequently, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §§ 15162 and 15163, no further environmental documentation is required for the proposed actions. CONCLUSION The proposed ESSCSP amendments and ordinance will enhance existing development standards for Lot 14 area within the 0/1 MU land use designation in the ESSCSP and Page 41 of 206 EA-1360 and ASP 24-01 October 15, 2024 Page 11 of 11 works toward achieving the primary ESSCSP goal of transforming the Campus into an economic force in the City. Furthermore, based on the EIR Addendum No. 2 prepared for this project, the Project does not create new significant adverse impact or increases the severity of significant adverse impact identified in the original EIR. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt attached resolution and introduce the proposed ordinance for first reading.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ADDENDUM (EA-1360) TO THE EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT APPROVED UNDER EA-905 FOR A LAND USE CHANGE OF LOT 14 WITHIN PHASE II OF THE EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN AREA PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) The City Council of the City of El Segundo does hereby resolve as follows: SECTION 1: Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and declares that: A. On December 15, 2015, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 4958 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (EA-905) for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) (State Clearinghouse No. 2012101081). B. In approving Resolution No. 4958, the Council found that: The City completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the project and a noticed Public Scoping meeting was conducted on November 5, 2012 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15083. A notice of Preparation of the DEIR was circulated for public review from October 29, 2012, to November 28, 2012, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15802. A Notice of Completion for the DEIR was filed with the State Office of Planning and Research on July 14, 2014, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15085. The public comment and review period for the DEIR was open between July 14, 2014, and August 27, 2014, in compliance with CEQA Guidelines §15087. ii. The Final EIR was reviewed by the City Council and the information contained in the Final EIR was considered by the City Council before approving the project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15090. iii. The Final EIR was prepared under the City's direction and reflects its independent judgement and analysis of the environmental impacts and comments received on the Draft EIR. iv. The Draft EIR generally identified, for each potentially significant impact of the project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance, with the exception of air quality and noise impacts. The City Council found that nearly all of the potentially significant impacts identified in the Draft EIR were mitigated by corresponding mitigation measure to the extent set forth in the Draft EIR. V. Written findings were considered for each of the significant environmental effects identified in the DEIR before certifying the Final EIR, which included an explanation of how mitigation measures lessened the significant Page 43 of 206 environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. For the four environmental effects that were identified in the DEIR as not mitigatable to a less than significant level (Land Use and Planning, Transportation and Traffic, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions), the findings provide an explanation of how proposed mitigation measures have substantially lessened each of the environmental effects. vi. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15093, a Statement of Overriding Consideration adopted by the City Council. C. On February 1, 2024, Lionel Uhry on behalf of CDC Mar East Campus 2, LLC ("Applicant") filed an application for Environmental Assessment No. EA- 1360 and Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 24-01 to amend the land use designation for Lot 14 within the ESSCSP ("Project"). D. The proposed project amends the ESSCSP land use designation for Lot 14 from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixes Use (0/1 MU). The proposed land use change would expand the permitted uses for Lot 14 to include data centers, general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, light industrial uses, and parking structures and surface parking lots. E. The site is currently not developed and is within Phase 2 of the Raytheon development site. F. The application was reviewed by the City's Community Development Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the ESSCSP, and El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC"). G. Fehr and Peers was retained by the applicant to evaluate the potential traffic impacts associated with the proposed modifications to the ESSCSP. H. City staff has peer reviewed the memorandum prepared by Fehr and Peers and concurs with its findings and conclusions. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed amendment to the ESSCSP. J. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2956 recommending that the City Council approve this addendum. K. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information, findings and conclusions contained in the Addendum to the EIR, including, without limitation, the EIR and supporting documents, together with all comments provided at the public hearing and all other information in the administrative record. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the totality of 2 Page 44 of 206 the evidence in the administrative record before the City Council at its October 15, 2024, public hearing. SECTION 2: Approval and Findings in Support. The City Council approved the Addendum to the FEIR based upon the following: A. The Addendum to FEIR was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission during a public hearing at its meeting held on September 12, 2024. B. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2956 recommending that the City Council approve this addendum. C. The Addendum to FEIR was presented to and considered by the City Council during a public hearing at its meeting held on October 15, 2024 D. The Addendum was prepared for the Project in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and is adequate and appropriate for the City's use as the lead agency. E. Based upon the totality of the evidence in the record and as demonstrated by the analysis set forth in the Addendum, none of the conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative declaration have occurred. Specifically: The proposed modifications to the ESSCSP and the related entitlements do not constitute substantial changes in the project that will require major revisions to the FEIR due to the involvement of new significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and II. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and III. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, that shows any of the following: (A) the modifications will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the certified EIR; (B) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shows in the certified EIR; (C) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant 3 Page 45 of 206 effects of the project; but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effect on the environment, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. F. The evaluation of the proposed modifications to the ESSCSP project, certified EIR, and Addendum reflects the City Council's independent judgement and analysis based on the Commission's review of the entire administrative record. G. The City Council finds and determines that the ESSCSP EIR, together with the Addendum, satisfy of all CEQA requirements and are adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for the project. H. All Conditions and Mitigation Measures identified in the original EIR (EA- 905), on file with the State of California (SCH # 2012101081), remain in full force and effect. Per State CEQA Guidelines §15164(c), the Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review but can be attached to the adopted ESSCSP EIR. SECTION 3: Reliance and Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 4: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions of applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable. SECTION 5: Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code § 16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature. SECTION 6: Signature Authority. The Mayor or presiding officer is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of El Segundo, and the City Clerk or her duly appointed deputy is directed to attest thereto. SECTION 7: Effective Date. This Resolution will take effect immediately. SECTION 8: City Clerk Direction. The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution, enter it in the City's book of original Resolutions, and make a record of this action in the meeting's minutes.

Hensley, City Attorney 5 Page 47 of 206 CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. EXHIBIT A ADDENDUM NO. 2 TO EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN (ESSCSP) ENVIRONEMTNAL IMPACT REPORT (ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. EA-905) October 15, 2024 On December 15, 2015, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 4958 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (EA-905) for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2012101081), on property located at 2000 East El Segundo Boulevard. The DEIR was circulated for public comment from October 29, 2012 through November 28, 2012. The Draft EIR generally identified, for each potentially significant impact of the project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance, with the exception of air quality and noise impacts. The City Council found that nearly all of the potentially significant impacts identified in the Draft ERI were mitigated by corresponding mitigation measure to the extent set forth in the Draft EIR. Written findings were considered for each of the significant environmental effects identified in the DEIR before certifying the Final EIR, which included a rationale of how mitigation measures lessened the significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. The City Council made certain environmental findings in association with the DEIR and found no evidence that the project would have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is infill development in a built -out urban environment. Standard of Review When only some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary and none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §15162 are met, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") allows the lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR (State CEQA Guidelines §15164(a)). State CEQA Guidelines §15164 provide the following concerning an Addendum to an EIR: (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in §15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in §15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. X Page 48 of 206 (d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to §15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. State CEQA Guidelines §15162(a) specifies that when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15162(b), "[i]f changes to a project or its circumstances occur, or new information becomes available after adoption of [an EIR or] a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required 7 Page 49 of 206 under [State CEQA Guidelines § 15162(a)]. Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. The Addendum need not be circulated for public review (CEQA Guidelines §15164[c]); however, an addendum is to be considered by the decision -making body prior to making a decision on the project (CEQA Guidelines §15164[d]). This Addendum to the previously -adopted FEIR demonstrates that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified during the preparation of the EIR for the original project remain substantively unchanged despite the proposed changes to the approved project, and supports the finding that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §15162 are present. Project Revisions The City Council is currently considering a revision to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan to change the existing land use designation for Lot 14 of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU), which will result in additional permitted uses on Lot 14, including general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, data centers, parking structures and surface parking lots, and light industrial uses. The proposed amendment and addendum were considered by the Planning Commission at the September 12, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission adopted resolutions recommending City Council approve the proposed amendment and addendum. Impact Comparison The approved FEIR (adopted December 15, 2015) concluded that the project included a rationale of how mitigation measures lessened the significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. Several areas of concern were noted as potentially significant if not mitigated. These areas include: Hydrology/Water Quality, Air Quality, Aesthetics, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. However, the city determined that incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study and the certified EIR, and contained in the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (adopted December 15, 2015) would reduce the impacts for each of these areas to "Less Than Significant." The ESSCSP allows for transfers between land use types and planning area subject to certain requirements; specifically, the total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the established trip ceiling of 26,585 daily trips. The memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (attached hereto) assessed the proposed land use designation change which is intended to allow for three additional permitted land uses at Lot 14.The analysis compared the trip generation rates of the most intense permitted uses and the three uses currently not permitted and concluded that there is no evidence that the proposed changes to the ESSCSP are substantial and will not result in significant impacts because the uses currently not permitted on Lot 14 have lower trip generation rates than the permitted uses. A comparison of trip generation rates shows that the proposed land use types to be permitted for Lot 14 generate lower daily trips, AM peak Page 50 of 206 hour trips, and PM peak hour trips when compared to the most intense currently permitted office and retail land use types under the CMU district designation. High/Medium Bay Labs generate the highest trip rates of the proposed land use types, and the corresponding daily trip rate is approximately 25% lower than General Office use and 80% lower than Retail use. High/Medium Bay Labs AM peak hour rate is roughly 20% lower than General Office and 70% lower than retail for the PM peak hour trip generation rate. This trip generation comparison demonstrates that the new land uses proposed to be permitted are less trip intensive than what was analyzed for Retail and Office land uses to establish the site's trip ceiling. The amendment does not change the circulation and improvements required by the Specific Plan; thus there are no new or increased significant impacts. There would be no new or increased significant impacts. The potential lowering of traffic generated by the change in use allowed on Parcel 14 would lead to a corresponding reduction in air emissions under the proposed changes. Additionally, as trips would decrease if the proposed changes were to be developed, mobile source emissions should decrease. Therefore, permitting them on the site would be consistent with and within the maximum allowable development analyzed in the FEIR for ESSCSP Lot 14 and there would not be any new or increased significant impacts. The FAR will remain the same, no new uses are being introduced into the Specific Plan area, and there will be no change to the trip cap. All city, state, and federal regulatory measures and all mitigation measures adopted and set forth in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program continue to apply in all impact areas. The development standards of the Specific Plan remain the same and any development will be required to undergo site plan review approval ensuring compliance with the development standards of the Specific Plan. Although the addendum will change the land use district from CMU to 0/1 MU the additional uses allowed are no more intense than what was already permitted and any new uses will not change the analysis and impacts would remain less than significant with mitigation. City Staff peer reviewed the memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers; and concurs with its methodology, analysis, and findings of the memorandum; and approves the memorandum. C'.nnrh minn The Proposed modifications do not constitute a substantial change in the approved El Segundo South Campus Specific plan FEIR and there are no substantial changes to the approved project; thus, the modifications will not introduce new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the environmental impacts that were previously identified and analyzed in the certified FEIR. Furthermore, the trip generation comparison demonstrates that the new land uses proposed to be permitted are less trip intensive than what was analyzed for Retail and Office land uses to establish the site's trip ceiling in the FEIR. The proposed land use change and additional permitted uses for Lot 14 can be permitted without exceeding the ESSCSP development trip ceiling cap. There are no new mitigation measures or alternatives which are now feasible that were not E Page 51 of 206 known at the time the EIR was certified. The ultimate use of the development allowed on Parcel 14 does not change the analysis as to potential hazards. The change only provides additional opportunities for development on Parcel 14 as the commercial/retail landscape continues to change. Therefore, the ESSCSP remains consistent with both the RTP/SCS and the General Plan Land Use Element for this area which permits a mix of office, commercial, retail, research and development, industrial and related recreational uses. As such, the City Council has independently reviewed this item and determined that the amendments proposed under ESSCSP Revision C are not considered to be significant; there is no substantial evidence that the amendments would introduce any new significant environmental effects; and there is no evidence that a substantial increase in the severity of the effects as previously identified in Environmental Assessment No. 905 and the FEIR would occur as a result of the amendments proposed under ESSCSP Revision C. As a result based upon the information contained herein and specified in the memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (Attached hereto), no further environmental review is necessary other than the adoption of this Addendum to the original Environmental Assessment and Certified EIR. 10 Page 52 of 206 CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. EXHIBIT B FEHR AND PEERS MEMORANDUM DATED JULY 1, 2024 Page 53 of 206 FEHRtPEERS Memorandum Date: July 1, 2024 To: Jake Douglas, Manager of Acquisitions and Development, Mar Ventures, Inc. From: Mo Mills, Miguel Nunez, and Michael Kennedy, AICP Subject: Trip Generation Assessment — Minor Modification to Ell Segundo South Campus Specific Plan on Lot 14 LB24-0121 This memorandum summarizes a trip generation analysis conducted to evaluate a modification to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSC-SP). The modification is intended to allow for three additional land uses at Specific Plan Lot 14, that are not allowed under the current Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zoning designation and are allowed in the Office/Industrial Mixed use (O/IMU). Based on information in the Specific Plan and from Mar Ventures, Fehr & Peers has conducted an analysis comparing the trip generation rates of the most intense permitted uses and the three uses currently not permitted. The uses currently not permitted have lower trip generation rates than the permitted use, so permitting them on the site would be consistent with and within the maximum allowable development analyzed in the Specific Plan for Parcel 14. Background The October 2015 update to the ESSC-SP provided Raytheon the flexibility to either expand its existing operations or develop a mixed -use project that would be compatible with the existing Raytheon Campus facilities and operations. The roughly 142.28-acre specific plan area allows a maximum development intensity of 3,718,889 net square feet. Figure 1 depicts the 2015 ESSC-SP land -use plan, which identified the various parcels and designated land -use types. 100 Oceangate I Suite 1425 1 Long Beach, CA 90802 1 (562) 294-5848 1 www.fehrandpeers.com Page 54 of 206 Jake Douglas, Mar Ventures July 1, 2024 Page 2 of 11 Figure 1: ESSC-SP Land Use Plan (Existing) 24 19 23 xEc/os low� 22 -601111D lip, 21J <20 - Commercial / Office Mixed Use - Office / Idustrial Mixed Use - Recreation / Open Space Source: Exhibit 5, El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan, Specific Plan No. 11-01, City of El Segundo, October 2015 Page 55 of 206 Jake Douglas, Mar Ventures July 1, 2024 Page 3 of 11 The Specific Plan's Development Regulation 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 (4,231, 547 square feet gross building area); • Land uses conform to allowable uses as outlined in the Permitted Use Table in the Development Standards section of this Specific Plan; and • The total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the trip ceiling established for the Project. As shown in Table 1, the trip ceiling for trip generation of new development within the Project area is: 0 631 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. 0 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. 0 26,585 daily trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the Project.

El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan, Specific Plan No. 11-07, City of El Segundo, October 2075 Page 56 of 206 Jake Douglas, Mar Ventures M July 1, 2024 VAPage 4 of 11 Appendix A summarizes land use types currently zoned on Lot 14. The table identifies if the use is a permitted use (P), permitted accessory use (A), permitted by an administrative use permit (AUP), or a conditional use permit (C). The table also identifies proposed zoning changes to Lot 14 to allow for additional land use types. The subject of this analysis is a potential modification to the Specific Plan to allow land uses consistent with the O/IMU zoning on Lot 14 not currently permitted under CMU zoning, as shown in Figure 2. Fehr & Peers has documented and compared daily, morning (AM) peak hour, and afternoon (PM) peak hour trip generation rates for the following land uses not permitted in the CMU zone and compared them to permitted office and retail rates in the O/IMU zone. • Warehousing • Self -storage • High and medium Bay Labs • Light industrial Trip Generation ESSC-SP was approved for 3,718,889 net square feet of building area (4,231, 547 square feet gross building area) and a total daily trip ceiling of 26,585. A detailed breakdown of inbound and outbound peak hour trip ceilings is shown in Table 1 above. Table 2 below is the trip generation summary for Phase 2 — Full Buildout of the ESSC-SP Area. The trip generation analysis shown in Table 2 was obtained from the ESSC-SP Environmental Impact Report. To be consistent with the trip generation analysis in 2015 El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan, rates from Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation, 9th Edition. Since Lot 14 was determined to be located within a convenient walking distance to the Green Line (now known as the C Line) light rail transit (LRT), a transit trip credit of 5% was applied to office use proposed for this parcel. A 1 % internal capture was also applied to the office use to account for trips occurring between land uses proposed or already operating within the site. Table 3 provides a description of land use types permitted under the ESSC-SP. Retail and General Office (shown in bold), are permitted under the current CMU zoning for Lot 14. General Office space is a broad category description, and generally includes any professional services that require employees to commute to and from the site. General Office does not include any "hands on" space for research and development, fabrication, or medium -to -large scale storage. Conversely, Warehousing/Mini-Warehousing, Bay Labs, and Light Industrial space allocate space for these activities, along with the inclusion of office areas. Retail land use is mixed — it includes the sale of merchandise, as well as experience -based retail like restaurants and entertainment.

Page 60 of 206 Jake Douglas, Mar Ventures July 1, 2024 Page 8 of 11 Trip Generation Comparison bps Table 4 compares trip generation rates for the current and proposed land uses for Lot 14. For consistency with the ESSC-SP, trip generation rates were taken from the 91" Edition of ITE's Trip Generation Manua(. While the 9tn Edition is no longer the current edition, it is being applied because the purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate consistency with the EIR analysis, which is based on the 9t" Edition of the Trip Generation Manua(. Of the permitted uses, Retail and General Office land use categories (bottom two rows in Table 3) have the highest daily trip rates out of all categories and are the basis for the trip generation comparison. Retail exhibits the highest daily trip generation rates with 42.70 daily trips per thousand square feet of floor area and also generates the highest PM peak hour trips at 3.71 trips per thousand square feet, as shown in bold below. General Office exhibits the highest AM peak hour trip generation rate with 1.56 trips per thousand square feet of floor area (also bold). Of uses not yet permitted, High/Medium Bay Labs generate the highest daily trip rate of the proposed land use categories to be permitted for Lot 14 across all three time periods, with 8.11 daily trips per thousand square feet, 1.22 AM peak hour trips per thousand square feet, and 1.07 PM peak hour trips per thousand square feet, as underlined in Table 4. A comparison of trip generation rates shows that the proposed land use types to be permitted for Lot 14 generate lower daily trips, AM peak hour trips, and PM peak hour trips when compared to the most intense currently permitted office and retail land use types under the CMU zoning designation. High/Medium Bay Labs generate the highest trip rates of the proposed land use types, and the corresponding daily trip rate is approximately 25% lower than General Office use and 80% lower than Retail use. High/Medium Bay Labs AM peak hour rate is roughly 20% lower than General Office and 70% lower than retail for the PM peak hour trip generation rate. This trip generation comparison demonstrates that the new land uses proposed to be permitted are less trip intensive than what was analyzed for Retail and Office land uses to establish the site's trip ceiling.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN (ESSCSP) MODIFYING LAND USE DESIGNATION OF LOT 14 (OF THE ESSCSP) FROM COMMERCIAL/OFFICE MIXED USE (CMU) TO OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL MIXED USE (0/1 MU). (Environmental Assessment No. EA-1360 and Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 24-01). The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. On February 1, 2024, the City received an application for Environmental Assessment No. EA 1360 and Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 24-01 to amend the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) modifying the land use designation for lot 14 within the ESSCSP. B. The proposed Project amends the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) land use designation for lot 14 from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixes Use (0/1 MU). The proposed land use change would expand the allowable uses for Lot 14 to include data centers, general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, light industrial uses, and parking structures and surface parking lot. C. The City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"). D. On August 26, 2024, public notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius from the project site, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC § 15-28-6(A). E. On August 26, 2024, public notices were mailed to all occupants a 300-foot radius from the project site, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC § 15-28-6(A). F. On August 29, 2024, a public notice was published in the El Segundo Herald newspaper, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC § 15-28-6(A). G. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the draft ordinance including, without limitation, information provided to the Page 65 of 206 Planning Commission by city staff; and adopted Resolution No. 2957 recommending that the City Council approve this Ordinance; and, H. On September 23, 2024 public notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius from the project site, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC Section 15-28- 6(A). On September 23, 2024 public notices were mailed to all occupants within a 300-foot radius from the project site, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC Section 15-28-6(A). J. On September 23, 2024 a public notice was published in the El Segundo Herald newspaper, providing a 10-day time period for the submittal of comments in accordance with ESMC Section 15-28-6(A). K. On October 15, 2024 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony regarding the Ordinance; and L. 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 October 15, 2024 hearing and the staff report submitted by the Community Development Department. SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The proposed project would amend the ESSCSP in the following particulars: A. Amend Table 111-2 Land Use — Project Development Scenario, to remove lot 14 from the CMU list and add it to the 0/1 MU list. B. Amend Exhibit 5 Land Use Plan, to modify the Land Use Plan designation for lot 14 from the CMU to the 0/1 MU (lot 14 color change on map and label). C. Amend Table IV-1 Allowable Uses, to add additional foot note language for permitted uses in the 0/1 MU district for Data Center Use and Parking structures and Surface Parking Lots Use pertaining to Lot 14 only and for permitted use General Storage and Warehousing to read: • "Data center buildings within 100 feet of El Segundo Blvd on Parcel 14 are subject to review and approval through an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). Data center buildings beyond 100 feet of El Segundo Blvd on Parcel 14 will be permitted by right subject to site plan review." • "Parking structures and surface parking lots within 100 feet of El Segundo Blvd on Parcel 14 are subject to review and approval through an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). Parking structures and surface 2 Page 66 of 206 parking lots beyond 100 feet of El Segundo Blvd on Parcel 14 will be permitted by right subject to site plan review." • "Asper the definition of 'Warehousing and Distribution" contained in El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) § 15-1-6. " 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 Sections 1 and 2, the City Council finds as follows: A. That the amendment is consistent with the General Plan. The ESSCSP 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 ESSCSP 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 Land Use Element Objective LU44 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" and with Land Use Element Objective LU4-3 Policy LU4-3.2 which encourages "mixed -use developments within one quarter mile of the Green Line stations," because the land use change allows for a wider range of development and land uses on Lot 14 while continuing to create job opportunities and seek balance between growth, local resources, and infrastructure capacity. The proposed Specific Plan amendments will continue to meet the General Plan Land Use Element Objective LU5-3 Policy LU5-3.1 because it will "Revitalize and upgrade industrial areas which contain aesthetic or functional deficiencies in such areas as landscaping, off-street parking, or loading areas" and will help guide the development activities within the 0/1 MU through entitlement review process such as an AUP and or Site Plan Review for the introduced additional uses. The Site Development Standards within ESSCSP for lot 14 will ensure the mass and scale of new buildings are compatible with existing and adjacent structures and with each other through AUP and Site Plan review entitlement processes. Specifically, the Project site is located in the portion of the City east of 91 Page 67 of 206 Pacific Coast Highway which is a combination of industrial, office, research and development, and commercial uses. The proposed amendments do not create any non -conformities with the existing Site Development Standards as the ESSCSP already permits uses such as office, commercial, retail, research and development, data centers, general storage and warehouse, surface parking lots and parking structures, industrial and related recreational uses. The Specific Plan will continue to be consistent with General Plan's Economic Development Element Objective ED2-1 Policy ED2-1.4 which seeks to "Continue to invest in infrastructure that encourages commercial and industrial development" by allowing additional uses for lot 14 such as mixed use, data centers, general storage and warehouse, surface parking lots and parking structures, industrial and related recreational uses. The existing parcel continues 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 Objective ED1-2 Policy ED1-2.2 as it seeks to "maintain and promote land uses that improves the City's tax base, balancing economic development and quality of life goals." An increased economic base will provide the City with resources that the General Plan Land Use Element Policy Objective LU5-1 seeks to "Attract the kinds of industrial uses which will be economically beneficial to the community as well as enhance the environmental quality of the City." B. The amendment is necessary to serve the public health, safety, and general welfare. The Amendments provide development standards tailored for Lot 14 area of the ESSCSP. The proposed modifications will help achieve the primary ESSCSP goal to facilitate the revitalization of the City east of Pacific Coast Highway and achieve General Plan Circulation Element Policy C2-1.6 to ease pedestrian access as it requires an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) and or a Site Plan Review for uses such as Data Centers, Surface Parking Lots and Parking Structure. By implementing a Site Plan Review and AUP process the City encourages the construction of high -quality, well designed industrial developments through adoption of property development standards and provisions of community services and utilities. 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. Cl Page 68 of 206 SECTION 4: Environmental Assessment. The City Council finds and determines as follows.. A. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the ESSCSP (EA-905) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations, § 15063 ("CEQA") and was certified on December 15, 2015. Under CEQA, an Addendum to an adopted FEIR is appropriate if modifications to the proposed project occur (CEQA Guidelines §15164). An addendum is appropriate only if such modifications do not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. The Addendum need not be circulated for public review (CEQA Guidelines §15164[c]); however, an addendum is to be considered by the decision -making body prior to making a decision on the project (CEQA Guidelines §15164[d]). B. As detailed in Sections 2 and 3, the project consists of minor modifications to land use designation and use regulations. The project proposes to change the existing land use designation for lot 14 of the ESSCSP from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU), which will result in additional allowed uses such as general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, data centers, parking structures and surface parking lots, and light industrial uses. The development standards of the Specific Plan remain the same and any development will be required to undergo site plan review approval ensuring aesthetics remains within compliance. While limited additional uses would be permitted on lot 14, those additional uses do would not result in any new or increased environmental effects, and impacts would remain less than significant with mitigation already required by the FEIR. C. An Addendum to the Final EIR (EA-905) for the ESSCSP was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Public Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15162. On September 12, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the Addendum and recommended its adoption by the City Council. The Addendum to the previously adopted FEIR demonstrates that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified during the preparation of the EIR for the original project remain substantively unchanged despite project revisions described herein and supports the finding that the proposed project does not raise any new issues and does not exceed the level of impacts identified in the previous EIR. D. Furthermore, no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following: (i) that the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; (ii) that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; 5 Page 69 of 206 (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Consequently, pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations, § 15162, no further environmental documentation is required. E. 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. F. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby adopts the Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

EA-905) October 15, 2024 On December 15, 2015, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 4958 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report (EA-905) for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse No. 2012101081), on property located at 2000 East El Segundo Boulevard. The DEIR was circulated for public comment from October 29, 2012 through November 28, 2012. The Draft EIR generally identified, for each potentially significant impact of the project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance, with the exception of air quality and noise impacts. The City Council found that nearly all of the potentially significant impacts identified in the Draft ERI were mitigated by corresponding mitigation measure to the extent set forth in the Draft EIR. Written findings were considered for each of the significant environmental effects identified in the DEIR before certifying the Final EIR, which included a rationale of how mitigation measures lessened the significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. The City Council made certain environmental findings in association with the DEIR and found no evidence that the project would have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is infill development in a built -out urban environment. Standard of Review When only some changes or additions to a previously certified EIR are necessary and none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §15162 are met, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") allows the lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR (State CEQA Guidelines §15164(a)). State CEQA Guidelines §15164 provide the following concerning an Addendum to an EIR: (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in §15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in §15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. 13 Page 77 of 206 (d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to §15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. State CEQA Guidelines §15162(a) specifies that when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Additionally, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15162(b), "[i]f changes to a project or its circumstances occur, or new information becomes available after adoption of [an EIR 14 Page 78 of 206 or] a negative declaration, the lead agency shall prepare a subsequent EIR if required under [State CEQA Guidelines § 15162(a)]. Otherwise, the lead agency shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. The Addendum need not be circulated for public review (CEQA Guidelines §15164[c]); however, an addendum is to be considered by the decision -making body prior to making a decision on the project (CEQA Guidelines §15164[d]). This Addendum to the previously -adopted FEIR demonstrates that the environmental analysis, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified during the preparation of the EIR for the original project remain substantively unchanged despite the proposed changes to the approved project, and supports the finding that none of the conditions described in State CEQA Guidelines §15162 are present. Project Revisions The City Council is currently considering a revision to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan to change the existing land use designation for Lot 14 of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU), which will result in additional permitted uses on Lot 14, including general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, data centers, parking structures and surface parking lots, and light industrial uses. The proposed amendment and addendum were considered by the Planning Commission at the September 12, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission adopted resolutions recommending City Council approve the proposed amendment and addendum. Impact Comparison The approved FEIR (adopted December 15, 2015) concluded that the project included a rationale of how mitigation measures lessened the significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that were identified as mitigatable. Several areas of concern were noted as potentially significant if not mitigated. These areas include: Hydrology/Water Quality, Air Quality, Aesthetics, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. However, the city determined that incorporation of the mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study and the certified EIR, and contained in the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (adopted December 15, 2015) would reduce the impacts for each of these areas to "Less Than Significant." The ESSCSP allows for transfers between land use types and planning area subject to certain requirements; specifically, the total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the established trip ceiling of 26,585 daily trips. The memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (attached hereto) assessed the proposed land use designation change which is intended to allow for three additional permitted land uses at Lot 14.The analysis compared the trip generation rates of the most intense permitted uses and the three uses currently not permitted and concluded that there is no evidence that the proposed changes to the ESSCSP are substantial and will not result in significant impacts because the uses currently not permitted on Lot 14 have lower trip generation 15 Page 79 of 206 rates than the permitted uses. A comparison of trip generation rates shows that the proposed land use types to be permitted for Lot 14 generate lower daily trips, AM peak hour trips, and PM peak hour trips when compared to the most intense currently permitted office and retail land use types under the CMU district designation. High/Medium Bay Labs generate the highest trip rates of the proposed land use types, and the corresponding daily trip rate is approximately 25% lower than General Office use and 80% lower than Retail use. High/Medium Bay Labs AM peak hour rate is roughly 20% lower than General Office and 70% lower than retail for the PM peak hour trip generation rate. This trip generation comparison demonstrates that the new land uses proposed to be permitted are less trip intensive than what was analyzed for Retail and Office land uses to establish the site's trip ceiling. The amendment does not change the circulation and improvements required by the Specific Plan; thus there are no new or increased significant impacts. There would be no new or increased significant impacts. The potential lowering of traffic generated by the change in use allowed on Parcel 14 would lead to a corresponding reduction in air emissions under the proposed changes. Additionally, as trips would decrease if the proposed changes were to be developed, mobile source emissions should decrease. Therefore, permitting them on the site would be consistent with and within the maximum allowable development analyzed in the FEIR for ESSCSP Lot 14 and there would not be any new or increased significant impacts. The FAR will remain the same, no new uses are being introduced into the Specific Plan area, and there will be no change to the trip cap. All city, state, and federal regulatory measures and all mitigation measures adopted and set forth in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program continue to apply in all impact areas. The development standards of the Specific Plan remain the same and any development will be required to undergo site plan review approval ensuring compliance with the development standards of the Specific Plan. Although the addendum will change the land use district from CMU to 0/1 MU the additional uses allowed are no more intense than what was already permitted and any new uses will not change the analysis and impacts would remain less than significant with mitigation. City Staff peer reviewed the memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers; and concurs with its methodology, analysis, and findings of the memorandum; and approves the memorandum. Conclusion The Proposed modifications do not constitute a substantial change in the approved El Segundo South Campus Specific plan FEIR and there are no substantial changes to the approved project; thus, the modifications will not introduce new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the environmental impacts that were previously identified and analyzed in the certified FEIR. Furthermore, the trip generation comparison demonstrates that the new land uses proposed to be permitted are less trip MIS Page 80 of 206 intensive than what was analyzed for Retail and Office land uses to establish the site's trip ceiling in the FEIR. The proposed land use change and additional permitted uses for Lot 14 can be permitted without exceeding the ESSCSP development trip ceiling cap. There are no new mitigation measures or alternatives which are now feasible that were not known at the time the EIR was certified. The ultimate use of the development allowed on Parcel 14 does not change the analysis as to potential hazards. The change only provides additional opportunities for development on Parcel 14 as the commercial/retail landscape continues to change. Therefore, the ESSCSP remains consistent with both the RTP/SCS and the General Plan Land Use Element for this area which permits a mix of office, commercial, retail, research and development, industrial and related recreational uses. As such, the City Council has independently reviewed this item and determined that the amendments proposed under ESSCSP Revision C are not considered to be significant; there is no substantial evidence that the amendments would introduce any new significant environmental effects; and there is no evidence that a substantial increase in the severity of the effects as previously identified in Environmental Assessment No. 905 and the FEIR would occur as a result of the amendments proposed under ESSCSP Revision C. As a result based upon the information contained herein and specified in the memorandum dated July 1, 2024, prepared by Fehr and Peers (Attached hereto), no further environmental review is necessary other than the adoption of this Addendum to the original Environmental Assessment and Certified EIR. 17 Page 81 of 206 EXHIBIT "B" EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN Specific Plan No. 11-01 October 2015 Amended per CC Resolution No. 5291 Amended per CC Resolution No.1658 Amended per CC Resolution No. TBD Page 82 of 206 EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN TABLE OF CONTENTS -Might need to update once amendment is approved in the event page numbers change 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.

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. More specifically, the structures shown on Exhibit 4 consist of: Table I-1 Existing Uses 7E-2 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 996,871 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 39,082 E-3 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 28,383 E-4 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 670,619 E-5 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 1,705 E-6 Office 2,263 E-7 Office, Lab/R&D, Warehouse 49,966 E-20 Warehouse 9,245 E-21 Office, Warehouse 3,951 E-23 Warehouse 428 E-24 Recreation* 0 Total 1 11,802,513 *Note: Building E-24 includes locker rooms, restroom and shower rooms which are non -assignable areas for purposes of net square footage.

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.

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 Page 95 of 206 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.

ENTITLEMENTS The following entitlements are required in conjunction with this Specific Plan (SP No. 11-01): • General Plan Amendment No.I 1-01 to change 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. • Zone Text Amendment No. 11-01 to: 1) add "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan" to El Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") § 15-3-1; and 2) add a new ESMC § 15-3-2(A)(8) "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan." • Zone Change No. 11-02 to rezone the property from Light Manufacturing, Open Space and Public Facility to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. • Development Agreement No. 11-02 between the City of El Segundo and Raytheon Company. • Vesting Tentative Map # 71551 dividing the Specific Plan Area into 26 individual lots. Findings justifying the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change include: 1. The Specific Plan designation is intended to provide more flexibility for the development of a master -planned Campus that will be constructed in several phases. 2. The primary objective of the Specific Plan is to provide for superior, more 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 Page 102 of 206 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 corner 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. Page 17 October 2015 Page 103 of 206 This page intentionally left blank. Page 18 October 2015 Page 104 of 206 III. 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: 1. 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 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 Page 105 of 206 Floor 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 22 October 2015 Page 108 of 206 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 be accommodated within the planned roadway capacity of the on -site and off -site roadway systems and to allow maximum 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. AM Peak Hour Trips AM Out PM Peak Hour Trips Out 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.

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 Segundo Boulevard. 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 Page 113 of 206 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. Hughes Way/Nash Street Extension. 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 feet, 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. Continental Boulevard. 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 Page 114 of 206 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.

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. Page 31 October 2015 Page 117 of 206 EXHIBIT 8 CONCEPTUAL WATER PLAN Source: Psomas Revised per CC Resolution No. 5291 Page 32 October 2015 Page 118 of 206 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.

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 Page 121 of 206 EXHIBIT 10 CONCEPTUAL SEWER PLAN Source: Psomas Revised per CC Resolution No. 5291 Page 36 October 2015 Page 122 of 206 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 storm 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 37 October 2015 Page 123 of 206 Note: Storm Drain may be private or public. If public there will be an easement to the City. EXHIBIT 11 CONCEPTUAL DRAINAGE PLAN Source: Psomas Revised per CC Resolution No. 5291 Page 38 October 2015 Page 124 of 206 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 Exhibit12, 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).

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.

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. 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 (e.g., security kiosks, maintenance buildings, trash and recycling enclosures, and outdoor mechanical equipment enclosures) should be incorporated into and be compatible with the overall design of the Project and the main buildings on the site. Page 43 October 2015 Page 129 of 206 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 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 Page 130 of 206 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. 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. C. 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 Page 131 of 206 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 and/or 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 Page 132 of 206 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 -of -way 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. f. Ground mounted enclosures must be protected with anti -graffiti coating. 6. Parking Structures Trash enclosures with 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 horizontal and vertical elements. Design `green screens' to provide visual relief. Use simple, clean geometric forms, and coordinated massing. • Size openings in the parking garage to resemble large windows as in an office building. • Use masonry materials that are predominantly light in color, but avoid unpainted concrete. Use of accent materials is encouraged. • Avoid a sloping ramp appearance by providing level and uniform spandrels. Page 47 October 2015 Page 133 of 206 • Visually define and differentiate between pedestrian and vehicular entrances through appropriate architectural detailing. d. Stairs and elevators should be located adjacent to a street on the exterior of the structure where lobbies can be exposed to outside view. Safe pedestrian street crossings should be taken into consideration. e. The use of security cameras is encouraged and may be required by the Police Department as part of site plan approval. f. Lighting levels should be equally distributed to provide uniform illumination over all parking areas. Photometric analysis will be required as part of site plan/architectural review. g. Light sources should be shielded so that the source of the illumination is not seen from outside the structure. h. The ground floor level of any parking structure must be protected with anti - graffiti coating. 7. Landscaping A Landscape Master Plan for the Campus must be provided to the City at or before first site plan review submittal to provide for a unified concept for the Campus. Streetscape concepts are provided for the three hierarchies of streets within the project, including the El Segundo Boulevard frontage, Hughes/Nash Street Extension, and Continental (see Exhibits 13-15, Streetscape Concepts). The Master Landscape Concept Plan must be consistent with these concepts and their associated plant palettes. General a. Entries into the project should include a consistent entry feature for the Campus as a whole. Entries should be provided in the following locations: • Hughes Way at El Segundo Boulevard • Hughes Way/Nash Street at the southern Campus boundary b. Consistent tree species must be planted at Project entries, consistent with Exhibit 16, Corner Entry Concept. Page 48 October 2015 Page 134 of 206 EL SEGUNDO BOULEVARD R.O.W.

The South Campus Specific Plan is currently developed with 1,802,513 net square feet of development. Development in the Campus is limited to an additional 1,916,376 net square feet of floor area, as specified herein, for a total pre -dedication of public right-of-way net FAR of 0.60 distributed over the entire Campus area and not required as a maximum FAR on any individual lot as permitted in Section B.6 below. The maximum amount of developed floor area within the Specific Plan must not exceed 3,718,889 net square feet as permitted by this Specific Plan. 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 for all proposed new construction. C. Net floor area consists of the area of all floors or levels included within the exterior surrounding walls of a building or structure. The total space devoted to high or medium bay labs may be multiplied by a factor of 0.5 to determine the net floor area. Space devoted to the following is not included when determining the total net floor area within a building or structure: l . Elevator shafts; 2. Stairwells; 3. Courts or atriums uncovered and open to the sky; 4. Rooms exclusively holding building operating equipment; 5. Parking spaces at or above grade and access thereto; 6. Structures devoted exclusively for parking; 7. Restrooms in common areas of nonresidential buildings. d. Gross floor area consists of the area included within the surrounding exterior walls of a building or portion thereof, exclusive of garages, vent shafts, and courts. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with surrounding exterior walls is the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above. For new construction, after the date of adoption of this plan, gross floor area is defined as specified in section VI.B.5.b. above. Page 60 October 2015 Page 146 of 206 6. Floor Area Ratio and Transfer of Development Rights a. FAR may be transferred from any parcel within the boundaries of the Campus (the "Donor Site") to any other parcel within the boundaries of the Campus, whether contiguous or non-contiguous, within the Specific Plan area (the "Receiver Site") upon the written consent of the owners of both the Donor Site and Receiver Site. Any FAR transferred from a Donor Site is deducted from that parcel's base FAR. The overall FAR for the entire Campus cannot exceed a net 0.60 as computed in accordance with the above, based on pre -dedication of public right-of-way, but any individual parcel may exceed such FAR. Transfer of FAR may be accomplished by submitting a letter from the applicant to the Director of Planning and Building Safety before the City issues building permits for the Receiver Site which would utilize the transferred FAR. The Director will maintain records of such transfers and the current density allocations, if any, of all of the properties within the Specific Plan area. In addition, the owner of Donor Site must record a covenant acceptable to the Director and the City Attorney memorializing such transfer of FAR. No approval from the City is required for such transfer. Regardless of any transfer of FAR, no building can exceed the applicable development standards set forth in this Specific Plan. 7. Walls and Fences a. All walls and fences must comply with ESMC § 15-2-4 Accessory Structures a. Radar towers, dishes, laser/optical targets, and other similar structures are permitted as accessory structures only subject to approval of an Administrative Use Permit.

The Site Plan Review must be timely scheduled for public hearing before the Planning Commission, which date should not exceed 45 days after the completion of the public review period of the environmental documentation, or within 30 days from the date the application is deemed complete if no further environmental review is required. The Planning Commission must render its decision in writing, either approving, approving with conditions, or denying the Site Plan Review application, stating the reasons for such action. The decision of the Planning Commission is final unless appealed to the City Council. d. Any aggrieved person may appeal the Planning Commission's decision to the City Council. Such appeal must be filed in writing with the Department of Planning and Building Safety within ten (10) days after the date of the written decision by the Planning Commission. Upon receipt of such an appeal and the payment of the appropriate filing fee, the matter must be Page 75 October 2015 Page 161 of 206 scheduled for consideration by the City Council no more than 45 days after the date of receipt of the appeal. e. The Site Plan is valid for two years from the date of approval. If construction does not commence within such time, but the applicant has diligently pursued the Project plan review process, the Director of Planning and Building Safety may extend the Site Plan approval for up to two additional years. f. After the Site Plan is approved, the Director of Planning and Building Safety may approve minor changes in the Site Plan or its conditions if the Director finds that there are practical reasons for such changes, that such changes do not substantially vary from the previously approved site plan and applicable 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; The internal vehicular patterns and pedestrian safety features; 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; Page 76 October 2015 Page 162 of 206 i. The placement, photometrics, height and direction of illumination of light standards; The location, number, size and height of signs; k. The location, height and materials of walls, fences or hedges; 1. The location and method of screening refuse and storage areas, roof equipment, pipes, vents, utility equipment and all equipment not contained in the main buildings of the development; In. Compliance with all applicable development standards including, but not limited to, height, setbacks, FAR, trip generation, and off-street parking requirements; and, n. Consistency with the Design Guidelines of this Specific Plan. 5. Approval Criteria The Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal, may approve the Site Plan Review if it finds that the site plan, architecture and landscape design, with conditions if necessary are consistent with this Specific Plan. 6. Exempt Activities The following is a list of activities which are exempt from the site plan review process. This list is not all-inclusive; the Director of Planning and Building Safety may exempt other activities not listed: a. All interior changes and alterations b. Demolition of Buildings E-20, E-21, E-23, or E-24 C. Exterior mechanical equipment (heating, air conditioning, water heater) designed with mechanical equipment screening compatible with the architecture of the building to which it is adjacent or affixed. d. Minor exterior repairs costing less than $50,000 in 2015 dollars, indexed for inflation to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). e. Reglazing, new mullions f Re -landscaping consistent with the landscape palette g. Repainting h. Reroofing with similar style roofing materials Page 77 October 2015 Page 163 of 206 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 Page 164 of 206 APPENDIX A E1 Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Trip Generation Rates, 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, 91 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."

Continued Business —Public Hearing H. New Public Hearings 2. El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (Approved Under EA-905) Amendment to Change the Land Use Designation of Lot 14 Within Phase II of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) Area and Adoption of Addendum No.2 to the Final Environmental Impact Report. (J F) Planning Technician Jazmin Farias presented the staff report regarding an amendment to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) to change existing land use designation of lot 14 (of the ESSCSP) from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU), which will result in additional allowed uses such as general storage and warehousing, high and medium bay labs, data centers, parking structures and surface parking lots, and light industrial uses. Vice Chair Hoeschler opened public communication. • Applicant representative Lionel Uhry, shared with the Commission that they are looking to match up both uses (CMU and 0/1 MU) to create more opportunities for users and wants adjoining lots to have the same land use designation to allow for development to overlap lots if needed. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired what the difference between logistics and warehousing is. Lionel advised that logistics is more tailored to the transportation of goods, loading docks via heavy truck traffic whereas distribution does not allow for it. Whereas general storage and warehousing would allow for a flight kitchen where they have a staff prepping onsite, storing, and transporting the assembled product. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired what the vision for that corner property is as it is close to retail and newly developed Chargers training facility. Lionel advised that they have been marketing the property for some time now specifically trying to attract retail and they have had no success. They believe the limited lot frontage of El Segundo Boulevard and MTA overpass screening have contributed to this and believe the lot is tailored to attract special uses. He added that it will not be office at the moment due to the current economic environment. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired how pedestrian activity would be activated if the site ends up with a big windowless building at the gateway entrance of the campus and how big of a building can the site accommodates. Lionel stated that all development is subject to site plan review and if it happened to be a use that does not have as much windows they would try to fenestrate that with architectural futures, Page 171 of 206 landscape, signage, and faux -like glass (no window on the interior) which still provides privacy and its exterior fagade helps create that environment. As for the size, depending on the use it could accommodate a building up to 100,000 — 200,000 square feet. • Commissioner Christian inquired if the new land use designation 0/1 MU allows the same development uses as CMU and why all the CMU land area is not being changed to 0/1 MU. Jazmin stated that it mirrors the same uses as CMU; the difference is that it introduces four additional uses. Lionel stated that the other CMU land area is not owned by the applicant rather by Raytheon and they would need to initiate that request if desired. He added that the lot size and location for the other CMU lots has more street frontage, and it attracts more retail uses whereas the lot this application addresses is impacted by the minimal frontage and MTA overpass which discourages uses such as retail from developing the lot. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired if there are any revenue or tax implications for the city rezoning this. Jazmin advised that Finance Department conducted a comparison analysis based on revenue generated per square footage for a typical big box retail establishment and a typical data center ranging from 40,000 to 70,000 square feet and based on what was found on average a standard big box retail establishment generates $5.99 per square footage whereas a data center generates $17.00 per square foot. Office revenue is based on occupancy and head count (current staff count). Vice Chair Hoeschler closed public communication. Further discussion came from Commissioners: • Commissioner Maggay stated that it is unfortunate that property owners can't find a retail establishment for Lot 14 and since the adjacent lot is small, he understands why the land use designation consistency is being requested. He added that being flexible for business partners is important and is in favor for the land use designation change. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired why Lot 14 and Lot 13 were not combined from the start. Jazmin advised that it would be best for the applicant to answer that. Lionel advised that he does not know as it was a long time ago. MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2956 recommending City Council approve Addendum No. 2 to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report approved under EA-905 to analyze the land use change of Lot 14 within Phase II of the ESSCSP Area pursuant to CEQA and adopt resolution No. 2957 recommending City Council approve an amendment to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) modifying land use designation of Lot 14 (of the ESSCSP) from Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) to Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU). 3 Page 172 of 206 Moved by Commissioner Maggay, second by Commissioner Christian. Motion carried, 3-0, by the following vote: Ayes: Hoeschler, Maggay, and Christian. I. New Business 3. Innovation Uses in Smoky Hollow Study Session. (MA/ES) Planning Manager Eduardo Schonborn lead the study session regarding incubator/innovation uses for hard -tech startup companies specifically in Smoky Hollow Specific Plan (SHSP) area. Staff has determined that creating a new land use category for these incubator/innovation uses is needed because the SHSP does not define such broad uses and the area is attracting this type of uses. Staff is seeking direction from Planning Commission to determine how these uses should be defined and how to implement development standards for such uses alongside determining if they should be permitted by right or through the entitlement process. SHSP targets creative and cutting -edge business however its permitted uses are narrow and focus on one type of use. For example, startup companies (incubator/innovation uses) are doing a combination of uses that include a little bit of tech, research and development, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, and maybe some office. The combination of uses does not fit into a specific permitted use per definitions in the specific plan. Therefore, staff finds themselves saying such proposed use is not permitted and offers an alternative approach to the companies. Such alternative approach is the Director Determination process which is turned down a lot of the time. He proceeded to share how other cities have approached this situation. For example, Berkley City updated their research and development definition to allow more flexibility and amended their parking requirements perhaps doing so here would be beneficial since a change of use triggers new parking requirements and most of the sites in SHSP area cannot provide such required parking. Eduardo mentioned that permitting such uses can be done with desecration via an Administrative Use Permit (AUP), Conditional Use Permit (CUP), or the uses can be permitted by right or offering a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for 90-180 days. Commissioner Maggay suggested for staff to look into how Los Angles rezoned two properties those being AltaSea at the port of Los Angeles and La Kretz Innovation Campus as they did something similar with startups. Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired how TUPs work, are the permits revoked after 90 days and can you keep reissuing them. Eduardo stated that TUPs typically are for special events in private property ranging from 1 4 Page 173 of 206 day to 1 week. They have never been issued for purposes like this. • Vice Chair Hoeschler inquired how the city got to this point, are people showing up wanting to develop in Smoky Hollow. Eduardo shared that people are coming to the counter with such broad uses that are not define and necessarily do not fall under one specific use. • Commissioner Maggay inquired what the processing time is for an AUP, CUP, and TUP. Eduardo informed the commissioners that an AUP is processed within 30 days and then is forwarded to Planning Commission as a receive and file item. A CUP can take a few months but is costly, and a TUP can take a couple weeks to a month; but the dilemma is how to address a permit's expiration. Whereas by right anyone can come in and just get a business license and start their business. Maggay stated that he thinks the AUP process would be the most effective and customer friendly. • Commissioner Christian inquired what the determination process is. Eduardo informed him that in terms of timing it is similar to an AUP. The Community Development Director needs to determine if such proposed use is similar to an already permitted use and must provide findings to support the decision. Eduardo shared that this process is costly for applicants and a lot of the time they do not have time and seek to move fast when leasing a site. These determinations are on a case -by -case basis and end up being codified. • Commissioner Christian stated that we do not know what the next big industry will be in five years from now and does not believe we need to define those uses if we already have the determination process in place. • Community Development Director Michael Allen stated that staff is trying to address this now rather than being reactive. Staff is trying to come up with a broad enough definition that addresses the uniqueness in each different type of incubator type of use rather than have the applicant go trough a costly long process. He added that some of these incubator uses have multiple different components such as research and development, manufacturing, warehousing, and some are fabricating through organic compounds that they are processing through chemical process on -site and others are doing it off -site; none of which fits a current permitted use. When 1 % of the operation triggers manufacturing it automates that CUP process. The goal is to capture flexibility while ensuring a discretionary process that allows us to evaluate chemical compounds and perhaps using the Fire Code to evaluate these chemicals. • Vice Chair Hoeschler stated that he likes staff is thinking this way as the city is trying to be business friendly and encourage creative businesses. • Commissioner Christian stated that the TUP process for this does not seem practical and is nervous about the by right concept when you are talking about innovation broadly construed. He inquired how often staff 5 Page 174 of 206 has received inquires about these uses. Michael stated that in the last six to twelve months close to six to twelve different companies have reached out which are dancing in between all this stuff to comply. Some have a hold on their lease and are working on tenant improvements hoping that by the time they build out their office and research and development space they can move in and are ready to build out their manufacturing component the city has created a solution. • Deputy City Manager Barbara Voss thinks if we streamline it would make business easier as it would continue to build that momentum the city has right now when attracting those businesses. She added that she agrees with having very specific guidelines to not allow what we do not want. • Commissioners provided consensus to have a definition that does not include combustible materials and for such uses to be permitted via an AUP.

Discuss and provide direction regarding possible future revisions identified by staff related to the Athletic Field/Facility Use and Allocation Policy. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The El Segundo Recreation, Park, and Library Department ("Department") created the Athletic Field/Facility Use and Allocation Policy in 2004 with assistance from various El Segundo youth sports representatives. The policy established guidelines for the allocation of field space for user groups utilizing City athletic fields and facilities, and also outlined governing rules for the Youth Sports Advisory Committee and its charter organizations. Since its creation 20 years ago, the policy has undergone several revisions and amendments. To evolve with the changes over time with the various user groups and City resources, it became necessary to review and revise the policy to improve its enforceability, clarity, and consistency. In March 2024, a subcommittee was formed which included Department staff and two members of the Recreation and Parks Commission to assist the Department with updating the policy as deemed necessary since its last amendment in 2022. The subcommittee met and updated the document to be consistent with department changes, Joint Use Agreement updates, facility maintenance needs and expectations, Page 176 of 206 Athletic Field/Facility Use Allocation Policy October 15, 2024 Page 2 of 3 and City license agreement requirements. In May 2024, the Recreation and Parks Commission reviewed and approved the revised Athletic Field/Facility Use and Allocation Policy. (Attachment 1) The most significant changes to the policy are outlined below: Director Authority Language was added to the policy to give the Director of Recreation, Parks and Library the authority to schedule field space outside the priority guidelines if the Director believes that the requested use provides a benefit to the City of El Segundo and/or its residents. For example, the Director recently approved a two-day sports clinic at Campus El Segundo during AYSO's fall season because the activity provided a unique opportunity for hundreds of young people to improve their athletic abilities, free of charge. Staff found alternative space for AYSO during the weekend of the clinics. If the Council decides to rescind this authority from the Director, it would require the Director to bring every request that falls outside this policy to the City Council for discussion and vote. Field Use Audits Language was added to the policy stating that random field use audits may be conducted to ensure groups are utilizing space that they have reserved or are returning unused space to staff for distribution to other groups. User Groups Responsibilities for Field Maintenance Language was added to the policy requiring user groups to contribute to field preparation and maintenance. DISCUSSION: Since the revisions to the policy were approved by the Recreation and Parks Commission, staff have continued to monitor field usage and requests and have identified the following issues to be further considered: Field Specific Play Currently, there are two fields which are designated for specific programming within the Field Allocation Policy: (1) Stevenson Field for baseball (hardball) only; and (2) Softball Field for softball, baseball and kickball only. Because of these stipulations, George Brett Field and Campus El Segundo experience a significant amount of use from a variety of user groups. Council may consider directing staff to go back to the Recreation and Parks Commission to discuss the possibility of opening Stevenson Field and the softball fields for other usage to ease the burden on George Brett field and Campus El Segundo. Alternatively, Council may consider directing staff to go back to the Recreation and Parks Commission to discuss the possibility of designating George Brett and/or Campus El Segundo for sport -specific activity. Page 177 of 206 Athletic Field/Facility Use Allocation Policy October 15, 2024 Page 3 of 3 Youth Sports Advisory Committee Recommendations The description of the Youth Sports Committee (YSC) in the Athletic Field/Facility Use Policy is as follows: "The Youth Sports Advisory Committee is a recommending body established and appointed by the Recreation and Parks Commission. Its purpose is to work cooperatively with City staff in field allocation, help identify field allocation issues, and review field allocation and use policies when necessary. Any and all decisions made by the Youth Sports Advisory Committee will be considered a recommendation to the Recreation and Parks Commission." From time to time, there has been confusion regarding when a recommendation from the YSAC is needed. Staff would benefit from additional language in the policy, as directed by City Council and Recreation and Parks Commission, to clarify what circumstances warrant a vote by the YSAC. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 3: Deliver Solution -Oriented Customer Service, Communication, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Strategy A: Identify opportunities for new revenues, enhancement of existing revenues, and exploration of potential funding options to support programs and projects.

Receive and file Joint Use Agreement update. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The City and the El Segundo Unified School District (District) previously entered into an agreement on September 12, 1990, governing the joint use of public recreation facilities. The agreement was subsequently amended on August 21, 1991, and amended and restated again on December 8, 1992 and 2012. At the September 20, 2022 City Council meeting, staff proposed: (i) a one-year extension of the joint use agreement for public recreation facilities; and (ii) a one-year extension of the joint use agreement for the media studio and equipment during which time staff and District personnel met to discuss potential amendments to the document. In October 2023, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to the joint use agreement (JUA) for public recreation facilities between the City and District. The term of the JUA is seven years with a reopener after four years. At that meeting, Council also directed staff to return in one year with an update on how the agreement is working to allocate field use in a fair, efficient and practical manner through a strong partnership between the District and the City. Page 202 of 206 Joint Use Agreement October 15, 2024 Page 2 of 2 DISCUSSION: Over the past year, staff has revised and updated field allocation policies related to public recreation facilities. During this time, staff has made concerted efforts to successfully manage field usage requests, with the ever-growing demand for field space and increasing program requests. Recently, it was discovered that the City's typical user groups did not request field space from the District through the process required in the JUA. To address this issue, staff will continue to refine and refresh the City's field allocation request procedure. A web page will be developed that will provide all pertinent information about how both City and school district fields are requested and reserved, how requests are prioritized, how to return unused space, how field use audits will be conducted, etc. In addition, the City will publish links to the District's field reservation system and provide dates for when requests begin and end for each season. Staff from ESUSD and Recreation, Parks and Library have met consistently during the past year as outlined in the JUA. Finally, staff is developing a field use calendar that will be public -facing to show who is on which fields at any given time. Individual participants' privacy will be maintained in accordance to any related law regarding publicly posting field schedules. CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Develop and Maintain Quality Infrastructure and Technology Strategy B: Seek opportunities to implement the use of innovative technology to improve services, efficiency, and transparency.

Receive and file the PATCHES Program update. 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: On July 2, 2024, the City of El Segundo initiated the Proactive Approach to Combating Homelessness in El Segundo (PATCHES) program. The program is a comprehensive and collaborative effort to address the challenges surrounding homelessness in the city. It brings together multiple city departments, including the City Manager's Office, Police, Fire, Public Works, Recreation, and Community Development to ensure a coordinated response, with regular communication between members to devise effective solutions. The team works closely with regional service providers such as Harbor Interfaith Services and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health to ensure efforts are well-rounded and impactful. PATCHES is a pilot program which will be re-evaluated after six months from its initiation. DISCUSSION: The PATCHES program has been active for three months. During this period, the PATCHES team, consisting of members from several city departments, was established. The team meets once each month to collaborate and identify solutions for issues related to homelessness. The El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) initiated a grant -funded Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) detail, which the City Council approved. During this quarter, there have been six details which resulted in contacts Page 204 of 206 PATCHES Program Quarterly Update October 15, 2024 Page 2 of 3 with over 30 individuals experiencing homelessness. The PATCHES program has been coordinating with Harbor Interfaith Services to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with available services and potential shelter or housing placement. During this period, Harbor Interfaith Services Case Managers have had 65 interactions with individuals experiencing homelessness in the City. They were successful in housing four individuals, although one chose not to stay in the housing offered. ESPD has been able to improve the system of tracking calls for service related to homelessness. In July, ESPD handled 287 calls related to homelessness out of 2,700 total calls for service. This accounted for approximately 10.6% of the call volume, with an average of nine calls per day. In August, PD handled 269 calls related to homelessness out of 3,026 total calls for service. This accounted for approximately 9% of the call volume and an average of nine calls per day. In September, ESPD handled 231 calls related to homelessness out of 2899 total calls for service. This accounted for approximately 8% of the call volume with an average of eight calls per day. The PATCHES Team has formed partnerships with surrounding agencies for improved communication and collaboration. On August 22, 2024, members of the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Park Rangers conducted a coordinated cleanup of the encampments on the beach just north of El Segundo. ESPD officers responded to assist and ensure none of the individuals being relocated moved south into El Segundo. On August 29, 2024,the PATCHES team coordinated a joint encampment cleanup on the train tracks in the area of Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard with Los Angeles Metro. Some of the encampments returned. On September 10, 2024, PATCHES team members met with BNSF Railway Police, and BNSF contractors fully cleaned those encampments. In total, seven encampments were cleaned, which included the permeant removal of two structures which were being used as living quarters by individuals experiencing homelessness. The City Attorney's Office provides guidance to the PATCHES team and ESPD regarding regulations, enforcement, and legal compliance. The City Attorney's office drafted an ordinance updating to the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) to ensure consistency with the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2024 Grants Pass v. Johnson decision. The City Council adopted the ordinance on September 17, 2024, which includes camping restrictions and additional enforcement mechanisms and incorporates the El Segundo Library's Rules of Conduct into the ESMC to activate additional enforcement tools. The ordinance will go into effect on October 17, 2024. The PATCHES team is collaborating on proposed updates to the Library Rules of Conduct to conform to the ordinance, bolster due process procedures, and address issues related to homelessness at the Library. The Library Board will consider the proposed updated rules on November 12, 2024. The City Manager's Office developed a project management process and database for Page 205 of 206 PATCHES Program Quarterly Update October 15, 2024 Page 3 of 3 the PATCHES team which will assist with maintaining statistics related to homelessness outreach and case management. The software allows police officers to complete an online form to track interactions with people experiencing homelessness. The data from the form is collected in the database and each interaction is tracked. The new system also automates referrals to service providers, such as Harbor Interfaith Services and the Department of Mental Health, and tracks outcomes. Service providers will complete an online form that will go directly to the database, so activity is measured consistently and accurately. Lastly, the City is in the final phases of launching the El Segundo Connect app, an online portal that allows the community to submit information regarding encampments and individuals experiencing homelessness to the PATCHES team. The PATCHES team can use this information to connect individuals experiencing homelessness with much -needed services more efficiently.
